Chapter 49: Night Rescue
The ball of light that appeared in the sky caused the sentinels to be on alert at night, and many of the residents who had been sleeping lightly were also awakened by the light.
Gudeen, who was in his sleep, was also awakened by Els, looking at the ball of light in the territory of Qingyuan Snow Ridge in the northeast, Gudeen had a serious face.
"This thing...... What is it? ”
As more people were woken up by the burst of exclamations, the previously silent camp was now 'lively' again.
Veterans who have been in the military will recognize what it is at a glance.
"It's like an illuminated scroll for the army, and the sudden use of this big night is probably due to an enemy attack......"
The veteran who recognized the orb of light muttered to himself, and Goodern soon learned what the thing was doing and where it came from.
Then the first thing that came to mind was Captain Dedallo, who had escorted him a few days ago.
"Urgent combat preparations, now in groups of five, prepare horse weapons, let the personnel with combat experience prepare combat weapons, and send down the weapons and shields of the tail car."
"Another group quickly organized personnel to prepare for the defense of the mine, and after five minutes all the soldiers gathered to go with me to check on the situation."
Goodern understood the gravity of the situation in an instant, and immediately raised his preparations for battle.
Trained soldiers, after hearing the emergency battle readiness command, carried out Gooden's order as quickly as possible.
The miners didn't know what was going on at the moment, but with the preparation of the plan and the guidance of the lord's soldiers, everyone was quickly prepared.
What was supposed to be five minutes of preparation was now compressed into three minutes.
Looking at the people who had already prepared, Gooden said directly and loudly.
"Now I'm going to take my soldiers to reconnoiter the situation, and if I don't return by noon tomorrow, the rest of the men will immediately evacuate as quickly as possible and return to Qingyuan Town, and report the news from Old Joseph here."
"During the evacuation, all the materials were abandoned and destroyed, and only the chariots and horses were evacuated."
"Drive-"
After saying that, Gudern didn't wait for the miners to ask, and directly raised his horsewhip and galloped away, and the soldiers who followed closely behind also rode their horses to follow.
The sky photosphere also began to diminish significantly in brightness over time.
But Goodern, who had been running wildly for seven or eight minutes, couldn't help but retreat when he looked at the ball of light that was still 'close at hand'.
I came to support out of my duty and the idea of knowing the situation.
Don't wait until all the people in the place are dead and go to support the loneliness, and there is even the possibility of giving away someone's head, which makes him feel the urge to go back the way he came.
But then, a second illuminated scroll lifted off into the air and exploded.
This can also show that the situation of the attacked Imperial army is not so bad at the moment, and at least it needs to rely on the light to fight.
Gritting his teeth, Gooden said in a loud voice: "All of them, keep running!" ”
There were ten people in the team, and none of them spoke, but silently tightened the war horse under their crotch and let it continue to speed up and gallop.
After more than ten minutes of wild running, everyone suddenly heard a terrible beast roar from the front.
Looks like it's in place!
The horses were already inflexible as they crossed the woods, but now that their destination had arrived, Goodern ordered them to proceed on foot.
The third ball of light had risen overhead, and the orange light illuminated the entire area as if it were midday.
Gooden and the others walked forward quickly less than two hundred meters, and they could see figures colliding and fighting.
The clanging of the fighting and metal was audible in an instant, and even Goodern could see a clearly visible wave of air blasting the surrounding area.
But this situation only lasted for about ten seconds before it fell silent, and because of the trees, Goodern could not see which side was temporarily victorious.
"Keep moving, semi-circle formation, don't rush out and fight the enemy, just report the enemy's position to me."
After Goodern whispered a command, the ten men quickly formed up and continued to move forward.
The squad is tasked with keeping him safe, and the main killing task is given to his rifle.
Clenching the magic rifle, the manganese steel bullets in the chamber of the gun have been filled, and the three magic charges have been ready to be renewed.
Suddenly, a leaf slowly fell from the sky and caught Goodern's attention.
Looking up slightly, a pair of scarlet eyes met him between the treetops.
"Overhead, enemy attack!"
The terrifying aura caused Goodern to roar, and then directly activated the magic guidance, and the three bullets flew out in a straight line.
"Bang bang bang-"
In the blink of an eye, the monkey demon lying in ambush on the top of the tree had lost its vitality before it could make an attack gesture, and after staggering for a few seconds, it fell directly from the top of the tree.
The corpse of the monkey demon made the soldiers of the squad tremble, last time...... Some of them almost died at the hands of orc scouts.
And as the first monkey demon was shot down, the treetops above his head that had been calm suddenly began to tremble.
Seeing this, Gooden immediately yelled.
"The enemy is overhead! Threesomes, defensive formation! ”
Without hesitation, everyone quickly divided into three squads, and at the same time, one of the three took out his crossbow arrows and prepared to attack.
The rest of Els stayed by Goodern's side to protect them.
After three entries transformation, Els's level has successfully broken through to the middle level, and in terms of strength, there has been a lot of improvement.
While searching for enemies overhead, Goodern also recharges and reloads his magic rifle.
Multitasking, this entry plays its role perfectly at this moment.
"Bang bang bang-" Three freshly loaded iron bullets flew out in an instant.
Gooden now fires directly whenever he finds a suspected target, and with the help of every shot, he is now pointing where to fight, without the slightest deviation.
As the blood burst out, another monkey demon hiding on top of the treetops was shot down.
With the loss of another comrade, the orcs no longer hid on their side, and after a strange scream, the trees shook more frequently.
Immediately after that, more than a dozen monkey demons flew towards Goodern and his party from among the treetops, and at the same time, the other orcs hiding in the corner of the forest also shed their disguises and began to surround the place.
"......"
Looking at the suddenly appeared monkey demon figure, Gooden cursed secretly, and without waiting for the second bullet to be loaded, he directly began to fire indiscriminately and rapidly.
In order to ensure that the opponent is dead, Gudner fired two shots in a row at each target, one in the head and one in the chest.
Ten bullets, five targets!
And before the five targets landed from the treetops, they had lost their vitality.
Seeing this, an inexplicable fear rose in the hearts of the rest of the monkey demons, what kind of weapon is this?!
I just heard the sound, and then there were two more blood holes on my compatriots' bodies inexplicably......
But there was no retreat order, and the remaining eight monkey demons did not hesitate to continue to directly attack the team of Goodern and his party.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides were fighting together.
