Chapter 239: The Birth of the Pterodactyl Knight

I shook my head and said, "With Lord William's plan, you have absolutely no chance of succeeding this time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe knights on the Pegasus can't spot you in the dark, but Pegasus doesn't have such a problem. Neither day nor night, you have any chance. ā
Roger said helplessly: "Lord William has no choice but to hope for the masters in the city." In the current situation, on the frontal battlefield, Karinga is already in danger, if these Cartersan troops are not eliminated, then the military forces in this vicinity will not be able to mobilize, and they will not be able to give favorable support to the front line. ā
"How many Carter cavalry are there around here?" I said curiously.
"There were only 1,000 men at a time, but, conservatively estimated, their total strength was also more than 20,000. However, there should be some other classes among them. I was taken aback by Roger's answer. With a force of this magnitude deep behind enemy lines, Carter's marshal was clearly taking a risk as well.
The mainland has always been vast and sparsely populated, and it may be difficult to find a city with a population of more than 100,000 in some ordinary provinces. In general, the entire province will not have more than three large-scale cities, that is, perhaps the population of an entire province will not exceed 500,000. With a five-to-one ratio of soldiers to civilians, the number of troops in the province is probably only 100,000.
These armies are not completely in the hands of the king or lord, and a large part of them will be private soldiers belonging to the nobles, plus the troops that need to be left behind, there will not be much that the entire province can really mobilize. Twenty thousand troops may not sound like much, but it is already necessary to mobilize the forces of one or two provinces. In fact, unless they are the five most powerful empires on the continent, the other kingdoms are simply not capable of mobilizing more than 100,000 troops. For Karinga, which has only three provinces, 20,000 troops are enough to suppress the rear. I'm beginning to wonder if Lord William has the strength to deal with these Carter soldiers.
"Karinga does not have a geographical advantage, but its walls are as strong as any other country. Without siege equipment, even if they had the advantage in strength, they would not be able to capture the city. Two months earlier, a force of 10,000 men had attacked a city 500 kilometers ahead, only to lose both sides, and Carter's forces had not attacked a heavily defended city since. Roger said seriously.
I sneered and shook my head, Carter's purpose in doing this was to better contain Kalenga's rear, a big battle, although it seemed to be worth the loss, but it also made Kalenga's remaining troops have a lot more scruples. Who knows if it will be you the next time you are attacked? If it were only an attack on the village, the Kalianga army, which did not feel threatened, would not obediently stay in the city.
"How many men did Lord William prepare to deal with so many Carter cavalry?"
"Because of the atrocities of Carter's army, many mercenaries and caravan guards were stranded in Karinga. Lord William hired them, and I don't know the total manpower, but if you think about it, there are always hundreds, and their strength is not weak. Roger wasn't quite sure.
I nodded, because of the relationship between the sea monsters, there are a lot of mercenaries and caravans here. Although the city is small, it is very prosperous. It is not surprising that such a number of masters can be hired.
"Young Master, can you help Karinga?" Roger hesitated for a moment before whispering. "I know that as long as the young master is willing to help, the Pegasus knight in the sky is not a problem at all. ā
I smiled and said, "Don't worry! It's just Duke William's care of my estate, and I won't let it go." Come with me, and I'll give you a gift first. ā
"Gift?" Roger looked at me suspiciously, bowed down and said, "Young Master, Roger is just your servant, you don't need a gift, as long as you can see the young master and be able to follow the young master, that is the biggest gift." ā
I kicked him unceremoniously and said, "As long as you follow me, why do I sound so awkward about what you say?" This time, I came to take you away, young master, I created a mercenary group, and I need an experienced mercenary like you to join. However, we have to go to Gukasia, the capital of the Guchas Empire, this gift is to make you hurry up and save time, there are still people waiting for us there. ā
Roger didn't care, as soon as he heard that my gift was related to the speed of travel, his eyes immediately lit up, he leaned over with a smile, and said, "Young master, then do you want to give me a flying monster?" Hehe, for so many years, I have never had a chance to find a monster pet!"
I laughed and scolded: "If there is anything to ask, just come with me, and you will know when the time comes." Hey, don't get so close to me!" I didn't expect to see him this time, it was much more interesting than the last time.
took Roger to the outside of the city, and it was obvious that Roger was still very respected in this small city, and there were passing soldiers and people who passed by from time to time to greet him warmly along the way. When I asked, I learned that within a year, he knew that only actual combat could better comprehend the footwork he had learned, and he took the initiative to participate in the activities of eliminating thieves many times. With his strength, he will naturally perform well, and it is not surprising that he is respected by the soldiers and the people.
Outside the city, seeing the adult pterosaur summoned by me, Roger instantly turned into a sculpture. The pterosaur in front of him, standing at a height of five meters, with a wingspan of more than ten meters, a giant mouth as sharp as an eagle's falcon, sharp eyes, sharp claws shining like steel, and more importantly, among the claws of the pterosaur, it was grasping the corpse of half of the pegasus, and the bright red blood made it look very hideous. As the overlord of the sky, it simply could not tolerate the existence of other flying demonic beasts in front of him, and the unlucky Pegasus and Pegasus Knight suffered like this. However, at this time, the pterosaur stood in front of me meekly, and even probed down, allowing me to pet its giant.
It is very rare to have a high-level Warcraft pet on the mainland, and it is even rarer to have a Wulong pet, so rare that ordinary people have never even seen it. Otherwise, with the appeal of the Dragon Knight Mercenary Group and the No. 1 Mercenary Group in the Continent, there would not be only so few two Earth Dragon Knights. It's not that Roger didn't think about finding a suitable Warcraft pet for himself, but, with his strength and financial resources, this can only be just a thought. Even if he could barely kill a high-level demonic beast, it was absolutely impossible for a middle-level demonic beast to recognize him as the master. At this time, a ninth-level pterosaur suddenly appeared in front of him, where did he not be stupid.
"Master, this, is this your pet?" said Roger dreamily after a long time. Facing the ninth-level pterodactyl, Pegasus, who was only a fifth-level demonic beast, naturally had no resistance at all.
"No, this is the pet I got for you. I smiled indifferently, and Gema, the pterosaur in front of me, couldn't help but tilt his head to look at the scar-faced swordsman standing in front of me.
"For me?" said Roger, leaping in disbelief.
"Yes, only if you sign a contract with the pterosaur in front of you, can you reach Ancient Cassia as quickly as possible, and can it really play a role in the future adventure. I leisurely folded my hands and said calmly.
"However, I'm afraid that I will disappoint the young master, my strength is not enough to sign such a high-level demonic beast. "Knowing my intentions, Roger was extremely excited, it had always been his dream to have a high-level flying monster as his pet. Now, when his dream suddenly comes true, he's starting to suffer a little bit from what he's getting to lose. In such a situation, it made him more aware of his strength and his shortcomings.
"If you haven't tried, how do you know you can't do it. I chuckled, and in a flash, he appeared several meters away, leaving him alone to face the pterodactyl.
Roger looked at me hesitantly, and then carefully looked at the pterodactyl in front of him, although he couldn't believe that he could subdue the ninth-level wurm in front of him, but the confidence in me and the respect from the heart made his eyes gradually turn firm. With solid steps, he slowly approached this powerful pterosaur that he would never dare to approach.
The pterodactyl's eyes looking at him have always been very calm, and he is vaguely unwilling. It had known about my arrangements for it since it left Dragon Island with me, but when it came to the end, it was still a little unwilling. In fact, even I couldn't force it to accept Roger's contract. Once it felt that Roger didn't have the strength to be taken seriously, then the contract still couldn't be established. The dignity of the ninth-level demonic beast made it absolutely impossible to accept a cowardly and incompetent master, and this was also its right.
When Roger approached five meters in front of the pterosaur, the pterosaur finally moved. Its wings spread, and it flew lightly, and when it reached the air, a swift dive swooped down on Roger, and its sharp claws brought a strong wind to his face. The huge size, but light like a breeze, made Roger couldn't help but be taken aback. The two-handed heavy sword in his hand, already alertly erected in front of him, hurriedly swept across the air, meeting the swift claws.
A sound like the clashing of gold and iron rang out, and sparks splashed from the two-handed heavy sword and the pterodactyl's claws. Roger blocked the pterodactyl's attack in time, but the huge strength of the pterosaur made him stumble. However, the pterosaur was unaffected, and after a pause, it was lightly lifted up again, floating steadily in the air. Obviously, in this trial fight, Roger is completely at a disadvantage.
