Chapter Twenty-Nine: Destroying the Withering and Decaying (Subscription Requested!! )
Crackling....
Crackling....
The night in the village of Hasha was as calm as ever, there was no sound of livestock, no overly annoying shouting, and the soldiers patrolled the village with guns on their shoulders, occasionally stopping to strike matches and light a cigarette, which beautifully inhaled the smoke into their lungs along with the cold wind.
In the makeshift command post in the center of the village, the Marquis James lay on the bed, wrapped in a thick quilt that had been turned out of the villagers' homes, and he couldn't sleep a little after turning it over. For some reason, he was a little restless tonight and couldn't sleep.
"What the hell..."
While they were all grunting, he felt a rush coming from his bladder, lifted the quilt, walked out of the command post, found a corner where no one was around, unbuttoned the leather button, and shivered while peeing.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and he screamed and cursed, then lifted his pants, shook his hands, and walked out of the darkness to the well to wash his hands.
The bucket was covered with a thick layer of ice that froze with the wooden spoon, and it took a great deal of effort for the Marquis of James to pull the wooden spoon out of the bucket, and then he saw that the remaining water stains on the wooden spoon quickly formed a layer of ice.
Slightly stunned, the Marquis of James looked down at the barrel, his face was shocked, and after a while, he threw away the wooden spoon, ran wildly into the command post, grabbed the thermometer hanging in the room, and walked into the cold wind.
The mercury in the thermometer kept falling, breaking through the zero point, and like the Marquis of James, it slowly fell to the bottom.
"Ellison! Ellison! He shouted.
Ellison, who was leaning against the door frame and napping, heard the call of the chief, opened his eyes dimly, and said busily, "It's coming, it's coming!" What do you command, sir? ”
"Go and call Dennis and Kayden! I'm going to have an emergency meeting! ”
"Now?" Allison's head was still awake, and he subconsciously asked, "Sir, it's only 5:30 in the morning!" ”
"Do you know how many degrees it is now?!"
The Marquis of James's face was gloomy, and he threw the thermometer into Ellison's arms: "-30 degrees Celsius!" ”
"Ahh I'll go add some wood to the stove..."
"Idiot!
! The Marquis of James roared: "-30 degrees Celsius means the river will freeze!"
! There will be a hole in our previous defense! Go get Dennis and Kayden! I'm going to rearm!
! ”
"It's... Be! ”
Allison craned his neck and turned to run, his speed fast, but still unable to erase the unease in the Marquis of James's heart.
He knew why he couldn't sleep.
It was too quiet tonight, because of the cold, even the hounds kept in the army hid in their dens, their noses useless in the extreme cold, and they could not detect the enemy's movements.
If...
The Marquis of James shivered as he looked at the dead silence of the village, where everyone had fallen asleep.
If the enemy chooses to attack at this point in time... Can they block it?
He made an extremely serious mistake and even realized the seriousness of the problem after an overnight day.
The Second Army was scattered and deployed, but no one was monitoring the river, which was an excellent fighter for the enemy, and once the enemy had enough good generals in the army to lead the cavalry to launch a surprise attack on the command post...
The consequences are unimaginable!
The arming had been completed, and the position of the line could not be changed for two or three hours, and the Marquis of James could only pin his hopes on the enemy's ignorance of the weather, and he looked at the dense darkness of the night in the distance, praying incessantly in his heart.
But what he feared the most happened, on the hillside in the distance, suddenly there was a little fire, it was a torch, and then the earth began to tremble faintly, and a long river of torches poured towards the village like a torrent, getting closer and closer... Getting closer...
"Alert! Alert! The enemy is coming!
! ”
The Marquis James took out his pistol and fired into the sky, and the sleeping soldiers were awakened by the sound of gunfire, and hurriedly put on their boots, put on their overcoats, and rushed out of the house with their rifles.
"Give it to me! Give it to me!
! ”
The Marquis of James gave the order as he retreated, and he recognized the cavalry, the brave Cossacks, with black cloaks like the scythes of death, who had reached the edge of the village.
"Don't panic! Form two rows of lines! No! Wrong! The Marquis of James was in a state of confusion, and he was thinking quickly about what the Military Academy taught, "You can't use two rows of lines in formation!" This is not an open area! Find cover and shoot enemy cavalry! ”
"Priest .... Where is the priest of the church?! ”
Amid the screams of the soldiers, the Marquis James remembered the Priest of the Army, which was his last and greatest hole card, and as long as he could use magic to create an immortal warrior, he would definitely be able to defeat the enemy!
In fact, the priests walked out of the house and used magic without hesitation, and the bright rings opened up the realm of immortality, covering their own soldiers with great selectivity.
"Break up the enemy formation!"
Katerina threw away the pistol after the bullet, pulled out the long knife at her waist, and pointed at the accompanying priest who was gathered around the Marquis of James: "Kill the priest first!" Onufri, Ravl, you stop the enemy from coming back! The others follow me! ”
The well-trained 15th and 19th Cavalry Regiments immediately dispersed, and under the command of Onufri and Raful, they rushed into the tunnels to block the soldiers who wanted to return to the command post and rescue the Marquis of James.
Katerina led a cavalry force into the heart of the village, and while the dense houses could hold back the cavalry charge, they could also block the bullets of the enemy soldiers, preventing them from using the full power of their rifles.
The soldiers fired only two shots, and Katerina rushed in front of them with the cavalry, and with a flicking sword, he cut off the right hand of one of the priests, and just as he was about to scream, another long knife cut off his head.
It was a cavalry that was completely charged, so unstoppable that the soldiers could not stop their attack, and in the blink of an eye the corpses were strewn all over the field, and the priests who accompanied the army also suffered heavy losses.
As the primary target, the military priests became the ones who were lost, and they had the protection of the Eternal Realm, but only if the magic could be activated normally, if they lost the arm wearing the golden ring, the Immortal Realm would naturally collapse.
Thinkers
The sound of horses' hooves and screams rang out in all directions, and the Cossack cavalry threw torches into the houses, setting the wooden buildings on fire, leaving the Marquis James and others with no way to escape, and had no choice but to fight to the death in the middle of the road.
It was a devastating battle, the cavalry were like tigers and wolves eating away at the chaotic soldiers, in the monstrous fire, the soldiers had nowhere to go, everywhere was the enemy, and the slender rifles became chicken ribs, unable to stop the enemy's repeated charges.
"Marquis James."
A priest of the army pulled the Marquis of James by the wayside, and kept retreating under the protection of the soldiers, and said quickly: "You have failed, let the soldiers withdraw." ”
"Pull it down?" The Marquis of James roared, "How do you take it down?!" The situation is out of control!
! ”
"We have a magic that can help you recover your situation, but," said the priest in a deep voice, "it is the magic of indiscriminate attacks, and if you don't let the soldiers retreat, I am afraid that it will cause great casualties." ”
"Casualties..."
Marquis James smiled bitterly: "Open your eyes and see, Father, our casualties are already large enough, the enemy is unstoppable, the command post is finished... You and I could be their captives. ”
"I see, since you think so, then I don't care about anything anymore."
The priest nodded, and stepped forward with several priests dressed differently from the priests who activated the immortal realm, and slowly raised his arm wearing the golden ring:
"Death Field."
