Chapter 309: The Battle That Was Once Familiar
Kevin led the people to retreat from the hillside, it was late at night, the torches had been lit in the circle of the mountain, and the chariots had already been arranged, surrounded by iron barrels, and they rushed up the mountain at the sound of an order. The Imperials are gone, and Kevin would love to stay, maybe he can do something, but reason tells him no!
In fact, with Bradley's strength, he can kill whoever he wants to kill with a wave of his hand, no matter what princess, what brave, even Kevin is included. But why didn't he do it?
If Kevin is really like a hot-blooded teenager, he just won't leave over there, and even rely on his human identity to fight with the princess, shouting XXX I'll protect it, etc. Bradley could then summon the observation missions of various countries and show them how the so-called Lou Pauler State interfered in the internal affairs of other countries.
Once the war starts, it will definitely not end in a short period of time, and there will be plenty of time for observer groups from various countries to come and watch. Whether or not Lou Baole can be rescued has also become a dilemma, whether it is saved or not, it will put Lou Baole at a disadvantage in the political game. And depending on the situation, it is more likely that he will not be saved, and he is more likely to dismiss his relationship with Kevin and think that this is Kevin's personal behavior.
This may be one of the reasons why Bradley doesn't kill, because it's more useful to keep it than to kill it. That's why Kevin can't be saved, and if he doesn't save it, then with the difference in strength between the two sides, the ending is already doomed.
Kevin and the others retreated to the bottom of the mountain, then found a tall rock around and stood up to watch.
Seeing that there were no more foreigners on the battlefield, the kobold at the foot of the mountain immediately charged, and from this side, only scattered torches squirmed up the mountain. The steep slope of the mountain made it impossible for the comma chariot to go up, and the government army at the bottom of the mountain could only rush forward on foot, while the full stop chariot on the hill could move freely. It's a lot easier to hit someone with a car.
However, the first charge was only tentative, and there were not many people, and the number of torches could be counted with the naked eye. But this wave of people didn't just come to die, these were also veterans with considerable experience, otherwise they wouldn't be able to test anything.
Each of these stormtrooper soldiers carried a huge shield on their backs, not in front of them, but on their backs. As soon as the full stop chariot hits the mountain, immediately find a gap on the ground and lie on the ground. When the full stop chariot passed, the man stood up intact.
Kobolds fight each other all year round, and they have some unpopular tactics with each other, or they may also be temporarily taught by the Empire. The water film of the full stop chariot carries the pressure of the body, but as long as there is a suitable pit and a relatively strong shield is covered with the pit, it is possible to carry the pressure of the full stop chariot.
Of course, pits are not everywhere, and not all pits are enough to avoid the pressure of the vehicle, although it is theoretically feasible to dodge the chariot alone, but after all, it is a matter of life and death. In such a dark day, just such a few people go up, under normal circumstances, someone will inevitably extinguish the torch, fight passively, or even pretend to be dead.
But today is different, because the Imperial Sword Master is watching from the sidelines, for most kobolds, the Empire is really an unattainable country, let alone the strength of the Sword Master. No one dared to be lazy, no one pretended to be dead, everyone went all out, thinking that anyone who retreated would be killed by the Sword Master. Of course, Bradley's strength can indeed control the whole game, but if you even have to take care of this, it will be too cheap.
There was only the sound of the waves of a full stop chariot left on the mountain, some people were crushed to death, some people were hit to death, but many people still completed the task. Their main task is to find out the situation on the mountain, including the layout of the fortifications and magic traps, and destroy them if possible.
In half an hour, the scattered torches on the hill began to retreat, and the first tentative charges ended. I don't know what these kobolds have tried, but it is certain that if this continues, it is only a matter of time before the princess and them are killed.
"Isn't this scene a little familiar?" Suddenly, there were a few more people around Kevin, and when he looked back, it was Bradley and the others, and it was Robles who spoke.
Kevin nodded, "It was a fight I will never forget." ”
"I was standing on the hill on the edge that time," Robles lamented, "and I was stoned to death, and we didn't dare to run around today, so it should be fine right next to you, right?"
Kevin was silent, and the three of them were on the sidelines all the time, making it inconvenient for Kevin to give orders. At this time, the crows were still digging holes in the fields, and the parrots were still on their way with the light elves.
"On that day, you were under a fierce siege, supported for more than a week, and finally burst out of the protagonist's aura to repel the bandits," Robles said, "I don't know the situation today, how many days do you think they can last?"
"Probably...... Until noon tomorrow at the most?" Kevin thought for a moment.
"So pessimistic?" said Bradley, slightly surprised.
"Bandits don't fight at night, they go back as soon as it gets dark, and there was an element of luck in being able to hold out for so long, but these soldiers don't," Kevin said honestly, "Although kobolds don't have much spirit to fight continuously, if someone supervises the battle, it's different." ”
As he spoke, the second group of charges began, significantly more numerous than the first, with higher morale, and the torches winding up in good order. The full stop chariot on the hill started again, and sporadic screams were heard from time to time.
"Old general, you're really interested," Kevin couldn't help but tease, "Can this kind of low-level battle actually make you watch it with relish?"
Bradley smiled: "Of course, I have to look at it, maybe I can see the so-called protagonist aura." ”
Kevin shook his head: "You can rest assured, as long as I have the identity of the Lou Pauler National Observation Group, I will not make a move." ”
"Oh, who's going to do it?" asked Bradley.
"Who's going to make a move? How do I know?" said Kevin.
Beside him, Jack spoke at this time: "The light elf will arrive in about 10 minutes, and then you will be able to save the light brave." ”
Kevin was helpless: "There is no way to go up when the battle is engaged, wait for the gap between their charges." ”
Bradley listened to it and immediately spoke: "Of course we will not object to humanitarian aid on the battlefield." But since it's humanitarian aid, it should be saved twice, you say?"
"Of course," Kevin laughed, "why don't you stop the government forces, and then we can talk about how to help them?"
The three Imperials laughed but didn't answer.
Ten minutes later, the two light elves finally arrived in the dark, and the parrot stopped on Jack's shoulder, waiting for instructions on the next step. The two light elves couldn't help but be slightly surprised when they saw so many people there.
Kevin stepped forward and beckoned: "It's currently in the midst of a fierce battle, let's wait for them to stop." ”
The two light elves subconsciously looked at Bradley, and Bradley acquiesced at no reaction, so the two nodded in agreement.
However, this waited until dawn. There is no longer the kind of time interval between the first and second time between the government army, and one group goes up one after another, and the middle begins to flow seamlessly. There weren't many people, and it looked like there were just a few fires hanging, but it was very troublesome to try to extinguish them.
Without an armistice, you can't go up to the encirclement to save people, and there is no other way but to wait. For about four or five hours in a row, Kevin and the others had no choice but to wait, and the anxiety was naturally self-evident. I have taken out my pocket watch from time to time to look at the time, it's the hour, it's time to withdraw the troops, right? It's the hour again, it's time to withdraw the troops, right?
After repeated prayers in my heart, the government troops finally withdrew from the hill when the first rays of sunlight shone in the sky. It seems to be a long and fierce battle, but in fact, the casualties of the government army are only in the single digits, and they are not necessarily dead if they are hit by a car, and they can still be saved if they roll down the mountain, and most of them just walk in the mountains.
The magic traps on the mountain have been completely destroyed, and all that remains is the large pit that has been dug, which cannot be filled in a short time, but it has basically been exposed to the eyes of the enemy, and it is difficult to have the effect of traps. The tactical use of these kobolds seems to be more effective than the original bandits.
In any case, this rare pause must be grasped. Kevin immediately took two light elves to negotiate with the government army, and the government army did not dare to slack off, and specially sent someone to ask the opinion of the imperial people, Bradley still meant that, if you want to save people, then save both sides.
Fortunately, there were two light elves this time, Waldler and Strina were there, and Kevin was immediately assigned, and one of them began to save people, and others had nothing to say. However, in fact, Waldler doesn't know how to use spells alone, and the main salvation is still up to Tryina, but these details are left alone.
Finally got permission to take the female light elf all the way up the hill. At this time, the princess and the others were already very tired, but when they saw Kevin coming with the light elves, they were all in good spirits, as if they had been able to get out of trouble.
Mali lifted out the bright brave, and he still survived when he touched his nose, which made Kevin breathe a sigh of relief at this moment, no matter what, there was always a glimmer of hope left in this desperate situation.
Without saying a word, Strina began to use the light spell, and under the white light, the bright bravery's eyelids moved, and there seemed to be signs of waking up.
"Wait a minute," Kevin hurriedly stopped, "I'll carry him down the mountain and heal him!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Why don't you carry us down the mountain for treatment?" the coachman suddenly jumped out anxiously.
Kevin glanced back at him, he didn't know who the driver was, but the person who said this in this situation was undoubtedly unrealistic.
The princess suddenly spoke: "Actually, their main target is me, if I die......"
"Princess!" the quilt warrior had already stepped forward, "You can't die!"
Kevin sighed: "No matter what, I will definitely find a way to save the bright brave." As for whether the rest of you can survive or not, it depends on your own efforts and the will of the Imperials. ”
"What do you mean?" the quilt brave puzzled.
"Remember what I just said to Bradley?" Kevin inspired, "Many kobold city lords are not ideal in the eyes of the Empire, but he is very appreciative of the talents I have cultivated, and if you can show excellent potential in battle, there may be a chance." ”
However, when Kevin looked at the princess, his eyes were slightly sad. Bradley himself also said that the princess could not stay. But the princess herself didn't care: "It's good to have a chance, everyone hurry up and rest." ”
