Chapter 31: Heroes
"Don't be nervous, it's not clear if it's Seayada's army yet, and even if it's Seayatta army, we have no other choice, holding Copperhill Town is our only choice!" Cross's words were impassioned, and he wanted everyone to have the determination to break the boat.
The first to be inspired by these words were the elderly alchemists.
"Your Excellency, I admire your courage, however, Seatta's troops are strong, and we cannot underestimate the enemy. ”
"Have you met them? "What Cross needs most now is intelligence.
"Seatta's forces are fierce, and Brookwood has lost almost all of its guards to barely resist their attack, and if they don't retreat and choose to continue the attack by then, Brookwood would have fallen. Recalling the battle for the defense of Ximu Town not long ago, the old alchemist was still a little frightened, but what he didn't know was that it was the demonic beast summoned by the witch who really forced the Seatta people back.
"Oh, there was a terrible battle between Seajarda's troops and the guards of Creekwood?"
"Yes, Your Excellency. ”
"But I still see a lot of guards in Creekwood. ”
"Those were mercenaries recruited later. ”
"And have you seen Seatta's troops with your own eyes?"
"I didn't have the courage to dig a tunnel, but I was still scared by the deafening shouts. ”
Listening to the old alchemist's description of the Seatta troops, everyone became nervous.
"Lord Cross, we must reach Copperhill before the enemy. Lancelot said.
"It's too late, the enemies who walk the avenue will reach Tongshan Town faster than us, even if we move forward at full speed, I'm afraid that when we reach Tongshan Town, we can only see the same scene as Blackwater Town. ”
"Sir Cross, I think we still have hope, we still have you. ”
Cross knew what Lancelot was talking about, since the last time Blackwater killed so many scavengers, Cross's extraordinary combat power had been deeply engraved in the minds of the three of them, and in the eyes of the three of them, Cross's combat power was equivalent to a hundred-man army.
And Nia and Gawain didn't say it as bluntly as Lancelot, the two of them were more concerned about Cross's safety, if it wasn't for Cross's initiative to ask for this kind of battle, they would definitely not want Cross to do such a thing.
As for Cross himself, he no longer needs to test, and he will not take any more risks, and besides, he is more worried about the backlash of the bloodline than encountering the enemy army, and there are only 4 bottles of magic potion left, so he doesn't dare to mess around.
What's more, his plan is more than just fighting off his enemies.
However, first, he had to let Nia, Gawain, and Lancelot know about the negative effects of that extraordinary power, otherwise they would inevitably have some bad opinions about him, especially Lancelot.
"Lancelot, I'm sorry, I can't use that power anymore. ”
Hearing this, Lancelot was shocked, and he clenched the long sword at his waist and looked at Cross in disbelief with wide eyes.
Gao Wen, who was also surprised, directly expressed his concern, "That...... Do we have a chance of winning this time? I don't want to go to war......"
"Lord Cross, are you telling the truth?"
"Yes, what he said is true. It wasn't Cross himself who answered the question, it was Nia.
Cross looked at the diminutive half-man suspiciously, he was still thinking about how to make up the story, but Konya's answer saved him a lot of time.
It's just that he doesn't understand why Nia is helping him.
"Nia, how do you know?"
"Lord Cross, I didn't sleep that night. ”
"You see?"
"Hmm. ”
Cross breathed a long sigh of relief, "Regarding this secret, I want you to keep it a secret. ”
"Good. ”
The conversation between the two went well, but the others had no idea what they were talking about, but one thing was certain, what Cross said was the truth.
"As for my physical condition, I will tell you when the time comes, don't worry, I won't die now, and I can't die. ”
This time, everyone recognized the current situation, they had to face the battle that was coming, and they were waiting for Cross's arrangement.
"There's only one way now. I walked north up the avenue to delay the enemy's march, while you continued onward to the town of Copperhill. Finally, we met up in the town of Copperhill to crush the enemy together. ”
"I'm against it. Nia was the first to speak.
"You don't know the geography of this area, you can't go. "Cross knew that Nia wanted to go instead of her.
"Then I'll go with you. ”
"No, you need to protect them. ”
Nia felt that she couldn't talk to Cross, so she immediately tugged at Gawain's clothes and asked the latter to help.
"That's it! We got going. Cross didn't let the argument continue.
Nia had no choice but to agree to such a course of action.
"Nia, your task is not simple, you need to protect everyone's safety, the mountain road in front of you is not very easy to walk, you must pay attention to the safety of your feet, in case you fall into the Heishui River, you will be washed away. ”
With that, Cross mounted his horse.
"Lord Cross!" Nia's eyes flashed with a little crystal, and she suddenly wanted to say a lot to Cross, but when the words came to her lips, she found that she couldn't say a word, and in the end, she only said this, "Goodbye to Copper Mountain." ”
"Okay, we'll see you in Copperhill. Cross glanced around everyone, then harnessed his horse and galloped out.
Looking at Cross's distant figure, the group was also ready to set off.
Only the old alchemist sighed, "This Excellency named Cross is really different, I have lived for so long, and it is the first time I have seen such a person. ”
"What kind?" asked Nia.
The old man shook his head, "I have a hunch that he can become a hero, or even a legend. ”
These words inadvertently sparked Lancelot's fighting spirit and determination.
It's not that he doesn't know how extraordinary Cross is, it's just that he's too close to such extraordinary. When a person stands at the foot of a high mountain, he can't see how high the mountain is, and at this time, the old man who has seen countless mountains has made such an evaluation of Cross, which is undoubtedly the most pertinent, and it is also the fundamental reason why Lancelot is willing to follow Cross.
"Let's go, hero, we need help. Lancelot said.
"Well, let's go!" Nia agreed.
