Chapter 253: Radiant Knight (II)
Even if these guards were able to destroy these zombies, it would not be possible to do so quickly, at least it would take several times or even more than ten times longer to achieve the same results.
And most importantly, they were like reserves at this time who had not fought in the slightest, and there was hardly any major damage. In total, a few unlucky ghosts died, and more than a dozen people were injured to varying degrees.
Judging from the casualties, it is clear that in the battle to destroy the zombies just now, they did not contribute much at all.
I couldn't believe it, but it was the knight's handiwork. But just one person, the nearly 1,000 zombies who came first in such a short period of time are really unimaginable combat power. Is this the strength of one of the best knights on the continent?' Thinking of this, Bellamy looked at the knight in front of him with a charming tear mole on the corner of his mouth, and his heart was full of shock and longing.
Just when Bellamy was in shock, the Earl on this side spoke, he ignored Bellamy, and said to Duermod with a hint of flattery: "Lord Onas, we might as well go back to the city first, the next wave of enemy attacks is about to begin." ”
"What Your Excellency Earl said is also true, after all, I only have one person, and the other party has at least one chief and one secondary, I want to save enough magic power to deal with the next battle, and those zombies can only be handed over to you to deal with, in order to make me sorry, Your Excellency Earl. Diarmod said with a hint of apology.
"Please don't say that, it's right for us to deal with these zombies. Please rest as much as possible, the leader of the red robe will have to rely on you. The Count hurriedly waved his hand and said. He naturally knew that Dearmod was not lazy. It can be said that what he did was completely correct, and he did not say that the Count was going to ask him to rest for a while.
After all, even if there are a lot of zombies, the Earl is confident that he has a way to deal with them, but after the highest combat power of the red robe appears, he really has no choice. After all, the strongest of them here is only a six-ring Kyleus, and against the legendary level chief, even for the last seat, he can only be killed in seconds.
Thinking of this, the Count suddenly thought of something. He asked the Radiant Knight, who was following him towards the town, "But." What about you, Your Excellency, and your men, and the commander of the Makarov division of the shamisen, have you ever met them?"
Of course, this issue is extremely important for the Count's side. Depending on Diermode's answer, the Count had to make different preparations.
If only one person in Diermod came. That's not good. Because they can't take advantage of the strong fighting power of the Knights. Moreover, there is no way to grasp the movements of the mercenary group, and it is a question whether the hundreds of soldiers can support the red-robed chief, their appearance, or the arrival of reinforcements from the Brotherhood.
Fortunately, the Radiant Knight's answer put the Count's heart back in his stomach, and although Diermod was old-fashioned, it didn't mean that he wasn't smart enough. Otherwise, it would not be possible to become a legend at such a young age.
He quickly understood the count's concern, and with a smile that almost all women would fall over, he said gently to the nervous and expectant count: "Please rest assured, since we have agreed to the request of His Excellency the Duke of Luxembourg, then we will definitely do our best to complete it, and I will bring the entire third company stationed in Fort Cyprus to set off this time, but because of the speed of the march, they are still behind." ”
"As for why I'm going to come by myself,...... handsome knight," said the handsome knight, looking up at the deserted city wall not far away, where a pure white Pegasus stood with its head held high.
The pure white hair mingles with the sunlight and shines brightly, and two pairs of four wings made of pure white feathers flapped and waved from time to time, and the beautiful feathers swirl and dance around it with the breeze.
This is a rare four-winged Pegasus that has always had two pairs of wings, and it is an advanced evolved form of Pegasus.
The head of the four-winged pegasus is tidying up its feathery wings with its beak, and it loves to be neat. Beautiful and pure, it was his daily homework to arrange its feathers, and it spent much more time on it than it had even spent training with the knights and the time it had already spent fighting.
When he lifted his head, which was hidden behind his wings, from its wings, almost everyone was hit by the dazzling horn above his head. It is a single horn that only appears on the head of a unicorn known as the 'Guardian of the Pure Forest', but at this time it unexpectedly appears on the head of a four-winged pegasus.
On the saddle on Pegasus' back hung two knightly swords that looked very similar, one on the left and one on the left, which seemed to be the secondary weapon that Deirmod carried, or was they the primary weapon?
This is a four-winged one-horned pegasus, and it's a fantasy species. Kyrlius looked at the fantasy beast that was more than ten meters away from him, and his heart kept tumbling, "Even if this is this fantasy species, Diermod is enough to maintain a situation that will not fail when facing any legendary powerhouse." This is the reason why he is highly respected by the powerhouses of the entire continent. ’
Fantasy species, which is a species that is usually only found in people's fantasy species. The strength of the individual and the rarity that the total number may be less than that of the legendary powerhouse make it impossible for ordinary people to see the fantasy species in their lifetime.
So over time, they become creatures that ordinary people can only perceive through fantasy. And after this huge fantasy reached them through the 'roots', they slowly gained a huge amount of power.
This is the fantasy species, the most powerful biological species.
The Earl and the others also saw this rare and powerful creature, and he came back to his senses after a long while, and the Earl, who had adjusted his emotions, said to Diermod with lingering excitement: "It's really good, your strength is really beyond the expectations of our people, I believe that with you here, Red Run and any other enemies will be no problem." ”
Although it is gentle, it does not mean that he does not have the pride of belonging to the strong. With his usual gentleness and strong confidence in himself and his partner, Diermod said lightly: "I'm here for this purpose, so you don't have to worry. Leave it to me, Lord Count. ”
Hearing this, a pleasant smile appeared on the earl's face again, and he continued to ask, "I am relieved if you say so. By the way, His Excellency the Commander of the Makarov Division and his mercenary troops ......"
"Oh, Mr. Makarov. I met their troops when I came, and judging by the scale, the whole division should be dispatched together. But because they were infantry, and because the river was not enough to transport an entire division, it was not enough to transport the troops and supplies of an entire division. Therefore, they can only travel by land, and it will take them at least three or four hours to arrive. ”
At this point, he saw the Count's frowning brow, and stopped and asked, "Is there any problem?" Did I say something wrong?"
When the Earl heard this, he immediately smiled and waved his hand and said, "No, you didn't say anything wrong. But then there are some minor problems. ”
"What's the problem?" asked the mild-mannered Diarmod, puzzled.
"If, as you say, it may take three to five hours on the shamisen, your order of knights, though on horseback, marches faster, but it will be an hour or two at the earliest. The Count said as he mentally calculated the speed of the two teams, and the time it would take to get here.
Diermod vaguely guessed what the Count wanted to say, and he nodded in affirmation: "Yes, there is nothing wrong with your calculation, it is completely in line with the current situation." ”
The Earl didn't answer immediately, but looked at the second wave of zombies marching here in the distance, and the wave of zombies that were more numerous than the one just now made the Earl frown ugly.
After a while, he spoke with some difficulty this time: "Then if that's the case, it means that we have to use such a small amount of strength in this at least an hour to resist the next wave, or even the next few waves of zombies." Let's not talk about their combat effectiveness, that is, the level of ordinary soldiers. The most troublesome thing is their number, and the fatigue and attrition of our soldiers caused by successive waves of attacks. ”
As a traditionally high-ranking knight, Deirmod naturally had an excellent understanding of warfare, and he also understood the Count's concerns. He looked at the troops, which only had a few hundred people, although in his eyes they could be called elite, but when dealing with zombies dozens of times their number, they were still inevitably in a desperate situation.
Just when the two of them were pessimistic and couldn't think of anything, a voice suddenly interrupted their thoughts.
"Your Excellency, I wonder if you have forgotten Lord Cussi of the Russell Brotherhood, he must have brought someone here for reinforcements. I think with their reinforcements, it should be no problem to hold this place. Bellamy, who had been ignored by the two of them, or who deliberately lowered his sense of existence, and had not spoken since just now, suddenly interjected.
The Earl immediately frowned when he heard this, he had already been a little anxious about these things, and Bellamy's sudden intervention at this time provoked the Earl's anger in an instant. He couldn't continue to suppress the irritability in his heart, and turned his head and glared at Bellamy fiercely.
"Shut up, you former mercenary with no identity and no military experience, I only did it because I was in a good mood and for the sake of Kellius's face, don't think you'll be able to be our equal, it's not your turn to intervene now. The enraged Count roared at Bellamy without hesitation. (To be continued......)
