Chapter 450: Discovering the Demon
Two days later, the three teams of Fish, Derek and Senge, who had been on the front line to shrink their defenses, were ordered to retreat to Gibraltar. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Bede, who had already broken away from the three teams, also received an order to retreat, but he just smiled coldly and threw Aaron's order into the trash.
He endured it for nearly two years so that this day would come. No matter who it is, they can't stop him from taking revenge. So after he received Aaron's order, he increased the number of scouts. Strive to find the traces of demons in the shortest possible time.
However, the demons seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and even though Bede sent scouts of up to three hundred people, they did not find the demons, much to Bede's dissatisfaction.
There was not much time left for him, and if he didn't find the demon, even if Aaron didn't say anything, he would have to lead the army back to Leru. After all, staying here for too long is very dangerous.
He is not going to be a target for revenge. In that case, it would be stupid.
After two more days of waiting, but still no scouts reported to him that the demon had been found, Bede could only order the soldiers to pack their bags and return to Leru early tomorrow morning.
After the order was given, all the soldiers began to get busy. The team, which had been lifeless, finally burst into laughter.
As the moon rose, one of the scouts rushed into the camp on a fast horse, dismounted and hurried into Bede's room.
"My lord, I found it. The scout knocked on Bede's door and spoke to Bede.
Bede, who was frowning sadly, was startled at first when he heard the scout's words, and then when he understood, he said with a happy brow: "Where is it? How many heads are there?"
"There aren't a lot of demons, maybe a dozen, in a nearby village. The villagers of that village didn't have time to escape, and now they are being slaughtered by the dozen or so demons. I watched from afar, but didn't dare to come closer. By the time I was heading back, the village was already on fire. The scout panted.
"Good! Good job! More than a dozen demons...... Well, we can't let the people in the village die in vain. The order was given, and all the teams were assembled. Bede snapped up and shouted.
The soldiers, who had just rested, were called up, and everyone was dissatisfied. No matter what mood they were in, Bede immediately divided into two lines, with two thousand cavalrymen with muskets to surround a dozen demons with him, and the rest of the infantry escorted the artillery to leave first.
Bede also thought very clearly, he could rely on the mobility of the knight and the power of the musket to fight the demons, and if he could kill these demons, it would be best, even if he couldn't kill them, at least he had a chance to escape. And the infantry, due to their poor mobility, will definitely drag them back when the time comes, if they do not set off first. Coupled with the presence of artillery in their ranks, they must not fall into the hands of the enemy unless they have to.
After making arrangements, all the soldiers cheered up, took their luggage, and quickly set off.
After all the soldiers had departed with their cannons, the two thousand knights, armed with loaded muskets, led by the scout, quickly marched towards the nearby villages.
The village was not far from their home, and Bede had previously entered the village with soldiers and persuaded the villagers to evacuate, but the villagers turned a deaf ear. By the time Bede led the knights to the village, the fire was blazing. A dozen huge figures walked in the flames, and although they were still some distance away, Bede could still recognize that these behemoths were the same demons he had seen in Datu City.
The knight behind him couldn't help but let out an exclamation when they saw these big guys for the first time, and at the same time only grabbed the spear behind their backs, only in this way could they feel some faint sense of security.
Two thousand cavalry quickly approached the village and dispersed on its own to the sides, gradually encircling the village engulfed in flames.
At this moment, more than a dozen demons also discovered Bede's presence and began to walk towards them.
"Brutes, I'm going to show you how good Grandpa is today. All cavalry ready!" Bede shouted.
The cavalry quickly took out their muskets and aimed them at a dozen demons, each with sweat oozing from their palms.
"Launch!"
With Bede's order, all the cavalry's muskets were fired together, and the demons who walked in front instantly fell to the ground, rolling on the burning house on one side, letting out a zigzag and a howl of pain.
The demon behind them crossed their bodies and sped towards Bede. Bede looked to the left and right, and saw that the cavalry were all loading gunpowder with their heads down, and immediately shouted "retreat".
The cavalrymen were stunned at first when they heard Bede's order, and when they looked up, they found that the demons were not too far away from them. Their brains immediately went blank, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.
Bede knew that the cavalrymen were frightened, and immediately shouted, "What are you all doing?
The cavalry had just woken up from a dream, and they all turned the docks, ready to withdraw quickly, but the demons who rushed up let out an angry roar and pounced. More than a dozen cavalrymen did not have time to escape, and their necks were choked off by the sudden attack of the demon, and their bodies fell limply from their horses.
"Damn! Bede cursed in his heart, but he also knew that their battle with these demons had just begun, and if he was not careful, the two thousand people would definitely suffer heavy casualties, so he commanded the cavalry to distance himself from the demons while planning a counterattack.
The 2,000 cavalry were divided into four squads, each of which shot at the demons in turn, so as to ensure the consistency of the shots, but also to prevent the demons from approaching them easily because of the muskets.
"Whoa......
The demon let out an anxious howl.
Although the musket does not inflict fatal injuries on the demon, after those bullets hit the demon, they are embedded in the demon's flesh, and coupled with the demon's super recovery power, these bullets are quickly covered by the healed skin. Although this injury is not fatal, when it is present in the body in great numbers, the pain has accumulated to an unbearable level.
They dodged cavalry fire - in fact, they couldn't dodge because of their large bodies. At the same time, they have to use their hands to smash the bullets that enter their bodies. The body that had just healed was again drenched in blood by themselves.
Bede also saw that muskets could not kill the thick-skinned demons, so he shouted, "The fourth team will follow me forward, and the other teams will cover us." (To be continued.) )
