Chapter 127: Ten Kilometers of Life and Death
"Good excuse, Captain Dodim. Vignes's face darkened, he raised his left hand and waved it behind him, gritted his teeth, and said viciously, "But I have a better explanation here - an unknown force entered the borders of the Otto Empire and was annihilated by my dragon army in one fell swoop. The death of the enemy was so miserable that it was impossible to identify him. The military of the Otto Empire solemnly reminds allies of all countries not to enter our territory without communication, but we are not responsible for any casualties. ”
The cavalry of the other side was about to move, and it was seen that there were five or six hundred people, and they were surrounding them from all directions. Vignesh stood close, but he didn't take the initiative to attack, Qi Lang's magic blow was still there, and he chose to forbear for the time being until he could figure out if the sword with magical power would fly again. At the same time, he was also a little jealous of Dodim's combat strength, although the captain was only a civilian in Shaqi Town, he had long possessed the level of a beginner Douzun, and the Dragon Legion, which had always regarded the Whirling Front Army as the greatest enemy, was very routine and pragmatic to listen to the reality of the enemy generals.
Hearing Vignesh's words, Dodim shrugged his shoulders, his face still without fear: "You are intimidating, Lieutenant Vignesh, I think what you should say to me is not to make an example." ”
As he said this, Dodim secretly pulled the corner of Lazilang's clothes. That's the meaning of retreat, of course it's not a good time to fight hard right now, everyone should know the truth of being outnumbered, and Qi Lang is certainly included. However, the border line is less than ten kilometers ahead, and according to Dodim, Lieutenant Meggie should also be here, plus the planned Captain Quill, as long as he and Captain Dodim can withdraw to the border, Vignesh and his dragon army will have no choice. No one could defeat Quill and the Twenty-Fifth Wargroup of the Spinner, and they would never dare to cross the Thunder Pool by half a step.
Qi Lang took the hilt of the broken sword into his arms, and instead picked up his bow and arrow. He saw that the cavalry were hesitant, and the encirclement seemed to slow down as a result. The Phantom Arrows shot a few moments earlier had a considerable effect, and it was estimated that it would not be long before the name of Qi Lang would spread among the troops of the Otto Empire, and like Captain Quill and Captain Dodim, they would become an iconic figure that made them fearful.
The attentive Dodim of course observed the changes in the other party, and he also guessed that it should be Qi Lang's meritorious work. He seemed more confident. "Since Lieutenant Vignesh has given such a stern warning, I can only say sorry. As an ally, I deeply regret the ignorant intrusion of our soldiers into your country's territory. Rest assured, I will punish him severely, ordering him to write a letter of apology of 50,000 words, to be handed over to Colonel Absion in person another day. That's it, do you see it?" he put on a serious face, and at the same time proposed a punishment decision that Qi Lang did not dare to imagine.
Vignesh snorted coldly: "If you have a chance to return to your own land smoothly, then of course it is up to you, but at this moment, I am afraid that there is no way to stop my soldiers from attacking the invaders." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Vignesh's arm swung down fiercely.
It was a special beheading order for the Otto Imperial military, and Qi Lang's sleeping memory seemed to be awakened again. He remembered that thousands of innocent civilians on the edge of the moat of his homeland had been tied together and beheaded at the gesture of a group of executioners, simply because they would not cut off their long hair or change into linen clothes embroidered with the marks of slaves!
Arrows, shoot out!
It was thirteen rockets, and in the short split second that Vignesh's arm swung down, they shot out from Qi Lang's Holy Blood Bow!
Whoosh!
The thirteen arrows flew in the air in thirteen completely different arcs, and the final target of the attack was directed at Vignesh!
It was as if it were not just thirteen arrows, but thousands of arrows, from the bowstrings of thousands of innocent victims! They wanted revenge, and they wanted to pay for the blood of the wicked people!
But for a beginner-level Dou Zun, the thirteen arrows were still a little weaker, and the half-cut heavy sword was only a slight wave, and the sword light it brought was enough to sweep them all to the ground.
"I'm sorry, but this guy doesn't listen to orders. Dodim laughed mockingly, pulled up Qi Lang and stepped back, and then began to run wildly, "I'll teach him a lesson for you, Lieutenant Vignes." But you have to be careful with your step, it's going to catch fire. ”
Vignesh stomped on the rocket in front of him and gave a death order to the slow soldiers: "Chase, don't let them step into the opponent's territory alive!"
With the roar of hooves, hundreds of horses began to chase together, and arrows like raindrops flew even more!
Dodim's speed was also not slow, but in order to prevent the arrows flying in the air from hurting Qi Lang, he fell behind and swung his long sword into a ball of blue light, but that also affected his own defenses to a certain extent, and even one arrow shot his left arm.
Although the Spiral Frontier Army has always attached great importance to foot training, no matter how powerful a soldier is, he is only an ordinary person with two legs, and compared to those pure-blooded war horses, the speed disadvantage is still irreparable. However, Qi Lang's delicate archery skills began to exert their power at this time. He didn't have to turn around to observe, he only needed to concentrate on sensing the changes in spiritual power behind him, and he could accurately determine where the cavalry posed a threat, and the phantom arrow in his hand played a hidden role. No one could see how Qi Lang made a move, he seemed to be just running in the process, raised his hand to the side of his body, and a rocket flew around in a corner, and then the cavalryman who rushed over his head planted his horse.
This is really an amazing stunt, and even Dodim couldn't help but let out a series of exclamations: "You have probably killed more than ten, I should ask the Ministry of Military Affairs for you to have more arrows, so that you can stand up to a war group alone." ”
But Qi Lang couldn't laugh at Dodim's joke at all, because he was running extremely hard now, and the trick he was best at controlling his breathing didn't seem to work. He felt that the pathway in his body had been blocked, and the so-called internal force could no longer function as smoothly as usual. It is estimated that Vignesz's sword caused damage in his body, and although Qi Lang did not show any injuries on the outside of his body, the internal injuries greatly restricted his running speed.
The journey of less than ten kilometers suddenly became so far away that it seemed like there would never be an end.
Vignesh had probably stepped onto his horse, and Zi Lang heard his angry shouts getting closer and closer, about a hundred meters or so behind him. But Qi Lang didn't plan to use his Holy Blood Bow to give him a few more arrows, because he knew that it wouldn't cause him the slightest trouble at all, and Qi Lang had to improve the efficiency of the use of arrows, and if he could kill a few enemies, he would kill a few, so that even if he died on this grass in the end, at least it would not be too much of a loss.
Dodim slowed down, just about three kilometers from the border, and he slowed down. Because he saw that Qi Lang's speed had dropped significantly, and if it continued like this, they would definitely be killed from behind by the pursuers, and the final result could only be a dead end. Dodim decided to fight Vignes again to give him some trouble.
And when Dodim turned around and slashed the nearest horseman off his horse, he noticed that something was wrong—just behind Vignes's group, it seemed that there were pursuers coming one after another. It seems that the Otto Empire has increased its troops, and the number of people should be more than 1,000, while Quill, who is in charge of the response, only brought nearly 500 elites from the 25th Warband.
This is a problem! Dodim is more worried about Quill now, because he knows his brother very well, and Quill must not be able to control his emotions. As far as the current scenario is concerned, it is very likely that Quill will rush over with those 500 soldiers at once, and get into a melee with Vignesh's dragon army, and at that time, the two countries will be equivalent to officially tearing their faces, and maybe it will become the fuse for the outbreak of war.
Although this war will break out sooner or later, Dodim hopes that it will break out a little later, because he still needs some time, and he still needs to make some preparations.
"Run with all your might, Qi Lang, don't stop!" Dodim was already in a siege, but his command still reached Qi Lang's ears clearly.
In fact, Qi Lang had already noticed Dodim's actions, and from the moment he slowed down, Qi Lang guessed his chief's true thoughts. It was an act he couldn't accept, he couldn't allow that amiable Dodim to put himself in danger in order to save him, so he slowed down, and the arrows in his hand kept firing, ignoring Dodim's strong orders.
"Retreat, leave me alone!" Dodim dodged the attack of more than a dozen spears in one roll, but he hung some more color on his shoulder, but compared to those small injuries, Qi Lang's stubbornness gave him more headaches.
The grim smile on Vignes' lips became even more pronounced. He likes the camaraderie of enemy soldiers in battle, as it will make it easier for him. He had seen a lot of similar scenes—the soldiers of the East, the stupid resisters who, simply because they could not be cruel enough to abandon their comrades, had finally chosen a tragic end for themselves, just like the two men in front of them.
It would be a brutal killing, and two masters from the Spinner Blade Army were going to die here.
The border is a thousand meters away, but their feet may never set foot on that land again, because the dragon army has besieged them!
