Chapter 111: The Death of Viscount Thor
Under the leadership of Zhou Jiale, Ye Tianlong came to a room where the seriously injured Viscount Sol was placed.
It seemed that he was aware of Ye Tianlong's arrival, and Viscount Sol, who had been in a coma before, actually opened his eyes and woke up after his eyelids fluttered a few times.
However, this is not a good phenomenon, after all, Zhou Jiale has said before that after some treatment, the injury of this Viscount Sol has not improved. At this time, he suddenly woke up, and it was likely that he had returned to his light before he died.
Because of this, when Ye Tianlong entered the room and saw Viscount Thor slowly opening his eyes, the expression on his face was not very good.
However, Viscount Thor seems to be quite open to this, perhaps he has a belligerent personality, and he has long expected that he will die on the battlefield.
After having someone get him a glass of water, Viscount Thor drained it in one go, and after that he seemed to look much better, and was even able to sit up from the bed on his own.
However, this made Ye Tianlong and them more sure, Viscount Sol was indeed a return to the light, after all, they didn't feed each other any elixir just now! There's no reason why the other party would recover so quickly!
Viscount Sol, who was also aware of this, took advantage of the fact that he was still conscious now, and quickly explained the aftermath to Ye Tianlong.
Before Viscount Saul died, he was most worried about his wife Barbara and his three-year-old son Zod.
It was customary for his title and domain to be inherited by his son Zod after his death, but he did not think that his son, who was only three years old, would be able to fight the cunning and cunning nobles of his country.
Therefore, Viscount Sol wanted to ask Ye Tianlong to help take care of his wife and son after his death.
In return, Viscount Sol will give most of his property and army to Ye Tianlong.
The relationship between Ye Tianlong and this Viscount Sol was originally very good, and the other party also gave such a generous remuneration, so he naturally had no reason to refuse, so he agreed to the other party's request on the spot.
And Viscount Thor, after explaining the aftermath, seemed to have completely squeezed out the last trace of vitality in this body, his face soon became pale as paper, and the power in his body soon passed quickly, and he fell into a coma again.
After passing out this time, Viscount Thor never woke up again, and after more than two hours, he completely lost his breath.
After the death of Viscount Thor, the eldest of the three knights, who had also listened to the last words of their lord, said that he would continue to lead a small army to stay by Viscount Thor's wife, Barbara, and his son Zod.
As for the other two knights, Rejek and Di Ligang, they both expressed their allegiance to Ye Tianlong. Obviously, these two young knights did not want to continue to spend time by the side of Zode, who was still a child, but wanted to switch to Ye Tianlong's command, so that they could continue to make achievements, and it would be best if they could finally obtain a noble title like their own lord.
In order to envelop these two knights who originally belonged to Viscount Sol, Ye Tianlong let these two still lead the armies left by Viscount Sol. However, Du Yonggang and Ye Da were also sent as the deputy generals of the two, one was to assist these two knights to quickly reorganize those troops into real firearms troops, and the other was to supervise these two people nearby to see if they really took refuge.
After that, Ye Tianlong transferred more than 50 soldiers from the troops under the command of Viscount Sol who still wanted to continue to be loyal to Viscount Thor's son, led by the knight Gilles, and escorted Viscount Thor's body back to the territory for burial.
After arranging these things, Ye Tianlong called Zhou Jiale and others to discuss it, and felt that in order to better subdue the military hearts of the more than 400 soldiers left by Viscount Sol, it was still necessary to avenge the other party.
However, in order to avoid being ambushed by the enemy like Viscount Thor, Ye Tianlong decided to wait until dawn before attacking, but before that, he had also sent Shi Qian to reconnoiter the specific situation of the enemy army.
After transferring to the high-grade martial arts techniques taught by Li Rufeng, Shi Qian has not only made up for his shortcomings in strength now, but has also cultivated his internal strength and become a master of transforming strength, and he is not far from breaking through to the innate realm, so his combat effectiveness is actually very good, just to engage in reconnaissance is not a problem for him at all.
After dawn, Shi Qian returned safely, and at the same time brought back detailed information about the enemy to Ye Tianlong.
According to Shi Qian, the number of enemy troops in ambush in that section of the valley was about 300 people, but some of those enemy troops looked a little strange, and they actually had the characteristics of some wild beasts, and they looked very strange and terrifying.
Ye Tianlong listened to Shi Qian's report, and felt that those enemy soldiers seemed to be a bit like some beast warriors in the real world who had been surgically transformed and possessed some beast genes. And the Kingdom of Svadia, a country that is still in the stage of feudal society, obviously does not have the technology to perform this kind of operation, so it is likely that this is the ghost of those demons lurking on the continent of Calradia.
This also strengthened his desire to destroy this group of enemies, after all, after eliminating this group of enemy forces, he might be able to learn something about those extraterritorial demons from the mouths of the captives among them.
And just after Ye Tianlong listened to Shi Qian's report, Luo Chenguang and his master Li Rufeng also led more than a thousand main forces to Chade Town.
Since the soldiers under Viscount Thor were still in the process of being redressed and reorganized, Ye Tianlong decided to send his own soldiers to take the lead.
The first to set off was a large combat airship commanded by Zhou Jiale, and then a whole thousand infantry led by Ye Tianlong himself.
The enemy troops who had set up an ambush in the valley soon spotted the battle airship flying from the sky, and in order to be spotted by the enemy soldiers on the airship, the officers of the Swadia Kingdom who were in charge of the battle hurriedly ordered the soldiers to hide in the woods on both sides of the valley.
However, these actions were in vain, because Shi Qian had come early last night to find out the enemy's situation, and after Zhou Jiale controlled the combat airship to the sky over this section of the valley, he immediately began to bombard the positions where the enemy was hiding.
Under the bombardment of heavy aerial bombs, the enemy soldiers who had just been hiding were suddenly blown up and howled out of their hiding places, and then quickly and completely drowned out by the flames of the explosion.
By the time the bombardment finally subsided, Ye Tianlong had already led several generals and more than a hundred cavalry under his command to arrive first.
Then, with Ye Tianlong's order, those soldiers took out their hook claws one after another, threw them upward, hooked the mountain walls or trees on both sides of the valley, and quickly climbed towards the mountain wall.
As for martial arts masters such as Lin Chong and Shi Wengong, they directly performed light skills, tapping their toes on the mountain wall a few times, and then quickly jumped onto the mountain wall that was dozens of meters high.
Among them, Lin Chong had just jumped onto the mountain wall, and an enemy soldier who was covered in blood but had a lion's head on his head slashed at Lin Chong with a two-handed sword.
Because it was convenient for Lin Chong to climb the mountain wall, he did not carry the snake spear that was more than three meters long, and in the face of the opponent's attack at this time, he pulled out the single knife on his waist and blocked it in front of him.
After the sound of the metal crash of the bell, the enemy soldier was shocked by the force of the shock from the weapon and retreated several steps, and before he could stand firm, Lin Chong stepped forward and bullied the other party, and with one hand lightning on the opponent's neck, cutting off the opponent's head.
Don't look at Lin Chong solved this enemy very easily, but from the battle just now, Lin Chong judged that the strength of this enemy soldier had already reached the level of a Ming Jin master, and if an ordinary soldier ran into this guy, it was estimated that he would not be his opponent at all.
And soon the tiger general Li Zhong and the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi also followed Lin Chong to climb the mountain wall, and these two people also held short soldiers in their hands in order to facilitate climbing, one took two maces, and the other took a short-handled Pu knife.
After climbing the mountain wall, the two men also immediately brandished the weapons in their hands, rushed to the front of those enemies who still had the strength to resist, and killed those enemies almost in the blink of an eye.
On the opposite cliff, Shi Wengong, Luan Tingyu, Shi Xiu and others also relied on their own martial arts to easily defeat those enemies who had survived the previous aerial bombardment.
Among them, Shi Xiu, in particular, is holding two long knives specially tailored for him, which is really a god blocking and killing gods, and a Buddha blocking and killing Buddhas! All he walked through was a stump and severed arm.
Many enemy soldiers were so frightened by his ferocious killing methods that they surrendered their weapons directly.
Ye Tianlong saw this scene from afar, and couldn't help but sigh that this desperate San Lang Shixiu really deserved his reputation! is so fierce, it is completely a low-profile version of Wu Song!
After just a few minutes, the battle was over, and Lin Chong and Shi Wengong came down from the mountain wall with seven or eight captives still alive.
After Ye Tianlong asked these captives to be interrogated separately, he learned that just a few days ago, a very mysterious black-robed man came to Kerrydan Castle, claiming to be an envoy sent by King Haraus, and after being invited into the castle by their lord Count Starma, the two had a secret conversation for a long time.
Then their lord suddenly took out a thing called a beast potion and forced all the soldiers to drink it.
After drinking this beast elixir, many soldiers quickly developed various mutations, and some of the characteristics of beasts appeared, but their combat effectiveness also increased greatly.
In addition, Viscount Thor's whereabouts were also provided to their lord by the mysterious man, so they were able to ambush Viscount Thor here so coincidentally.
After Ye Tianlong took a look at the results of the interrogation, he was almost sure that the black-robed man was an extraterritorial demon, and now with the help of this extraterritorial demon, the combat power of the army of the Swadia Kingdom would inevitably increase greatly, and those of the Nord Kingdom's great nobles who wanted to pick up the bargain would probably suffer a big loss.
For the sake of allies in the same camp, Ye Tianlong also sent someone to send the news to those big nobles, as for whether those guys will believe it, it's none of his business. After all, he didn't have any friendship with those big nobles, and he had no obligation to be the nanny of these guys.
