Chapter 746 735. Guidance
There is a small building in the garrison camp, which is said to have been built by the commander of the Cavalry Battalion of the Langdon Legion when he was in Dodan.
As the cavalry battalion of the Luthor Legion entered the small town of Dodan, the commander of the cavalry battalion of the Landon Legion didn't even have the patience to wait until the transfer of defense was completed, so he packed his luggage and returned to Bena province early.
Now the owner of this small building has become Commander Suldak of the Independent Cavalry Battalion of the Luthor Legion.
Chester Great Swordsman led his team to Dodan Town, and Suldak happened to be away, so he arranged to live in the small building as a matter of course.
Chester doesn't like this small building very much. He is a very conservative person in his bones, and he will have a strong rejection in his heart for anything that does not follow the rules.
He would rather build a marching tent in the barracks yard, and sleeping in it would be much more comfortable than now.
Late at night, Great Swordsman Chester sat up from the bed. He rubbed his forehead with his hands, making it difficult to fall asleep.
Through the curtains, I can see the dim light inside the camp. From time to time, patrolling guards pass by the small building, pick up the saber that never leaves the body, and push the door out of the small building.
Going north along the corridor in the camp, the 20-meter-high city wall looked towering and silent in the night.
A row of torches was lit on the north city wall, and the vague figures of the guards at the head of the city could be seen.
The Great Swordsman Chester walked out of the barracks. When the guard at the gate saw the golden sword shield and the badge of wheat ears on his chest, he immediately raised his chin high and saluted the Great Swordsman Chester.
Passing by the barracks of the city defense army, a group of guards just came out of the camp and lined up on the city wall.
Chester Great Swordsman also climbed up the city wall with the city guards. The top of the city looked very wide, and there was a city guard standing not too far away. He saw the magic pattern structure and the golden nobles on Chester Great Swordsman's body. Badges, immediately saluted Chester Great Swordsman.
A city guard is lying on a bed crossbow, and two guards next to him are holding lanterns to illuminate it.
The upper body of the city guard was almost lying on the crossbow of the bed crossbow, holding an oil pot in his hand and was greasing the center axis of the pitching frame.
If this magic bed crossbow can be maintained once a week, the service life can be greatly extended.
The Great Swordsman Chester stood beside the wall, and first looked outside the city wall. The Dodan Canyon was silent in the dark night, and from time to time there could be a few howls of fire wolves in the distance, as well as the grunts of owls. grunting sound.
Under the city wall is a dark green grassland, and a row of torches are lit at the boundary of the 800-meter range. The flames dance violently in the night wind.
Many monsters dare not approach the north city wall.
They hide themselves in the darkness outside the torches, but their eyes are like jewels, emitting a dark green light at night.
Although it was late at night, a group of cavalry warriors were still hunting the maned beast on this lawn. The maned beast was covered with bruises, but its abundant physical strength made it powerful every time it counterattacked, and the scene was very dangerous.
The monsters in the darkness outside never dared to rush through the torches, making the edge of the city wall like a Colosseum, with the local guards on the south side and all the monsters looking around on the north side.
The great swordsman Chester didn't understand why the cavalry under the city wall chose to fight at night, so he turned his head and asked the city guard beside him:
"Why do these cavalry continue to fight at night?"
Latour withdrew his big grease-stained hand, smiled, and replied enviously:
"Oh, I heard that those cavalrymen are all ninth-level fighters. They all want to advance quickly. I heard that only through fighting can they comprehend the 'power', so some people hunt under the city wall at night, and there are bed crossbows on the city wall. , Killing a monster can still get dividends, and you can feel the 'potential', this kind of good thing doesn't happen often..."
Latu was talking, a female maned beast as majestic as a hill in the group of monsters suddenly rushed out of the darkness.
It knocked away two torches planted in the grass, and rushed towards the cavalry who were fighting. Behind this maned beast were several smaller maned beasts.
There was a light sound of 'crack', and the bowstring hummed.
A bed crossbow flew straight out from the top of the city, making a 'hissing' sound through the air in the night sky, and the next second it precisely passed through the maned beast charging up, and the giant crossbow arrow pierced through its body.
It slams down, flips to the ground...
Immediately following, the maned beasts behind were also hit by arrows one after another, rolling and falling out.
The city guards on the city wall let out a low cry.
A woman wearing a salamander leather armor and a hood stepped on the bed crossbow chassis with one foot. With the flickering light of the torch, it could be seen that her hand was holding the archer's machine. Two city guards carried He picked up a giant crossbow bolt and put it into the arrow slot of the bed crossbow.
Another city defense guard shook the winch desperately, pulling the bowstring of the bed crossbow again.
The Great Swordsman Chester asked Latour: "These cavalry gave up their horses to fight the monsters in the city, in order to make a breakthrough?"
"Otherwise?" Latu had already walked towards the next bed crossbow, but when he saw the big man asking himself again, he stopped and said enviously: "How wonderful it is to turn once, and you can get more after turning once." What a salary!"
He speaks with the unique intonation of the local Aboriginal people.
The Great Swordsman Chester asked again: "Aren't they afraid of receiving unhealed wounds at this time?"
Latu looked down at himself, then at the two companions around him, and said, "What are we afraid of, we don't have any, and you all don't mind taking a gamble, let alone... I heard that our new commander has a Saint Light heals."
The two guards with lanterns and ladders on their shoulders also nodded repeatedly.
The Great Swordsman Chester saw that Latu had a cheerful and talkative personality, so he asked him:
"what's your name?"
Latu quickly stood up straight, and said with a straight face:
"My name is Latour."
The big swordsman Chester didn't continue talking, and waved his hand to let them continue to inspect the bed crossbow.
Holding on to the wall with his hands, he watched the cavalry below the city wall put a few short spears on the maned beast.
Well, the body of a maned beast has been punctured and riddled with holes, and dozens of blood holes are bubbling all over its body. Seeing the leather turn from intact to broken, and then from broken to a pile of tatters, The most valuable thing in the maned beast has become worthless.
As the magic lines on its body gradually dimmed, the maned beast was dying.
A cavalryman stepped out from the crowd, untied a battle ax from his waist, raised the ax and slashed fiercely on the back of the maned beast. The head of the maned beast, which was even bigger, was chopped off.
…
Aphrodite wore a mithril mask and boarded a carriage.
Surdak stood next to the four-wheeled carriage, and told Aphrodite: "Remember to call me when you arrive!"
Aphrodite waved her hand impatiently.
Suldak knocked on the wheel of the car, and said to Aphrodite: "I know you are tired of this kind of life, I believe this boring life will change in a short time, I have touched the door of Dragon Language, I will take you to see those different worlds together soon, such as the Bailin plane."
"Are you trying to comfort me?" Aphrodite sat up straight in the carriage and asked with a puzzled look on her face.
Suldak smiled and asked her back: "Do you think it is necessary for a human knight to comfort a wingless succubus?"
Aphrodite nodded seriously and said:
"I think it's necessary!"
"..."
…
Suldak stepped out of the summoning circle just before dawn, and when he returned to the study in the small building of the barracks, he saw the note left by Andrew on the table, and only then did he know that the Great Swordsman Chester had arrived in Dodan Town.
He came this time with 1,000 soldiers to reinforce Dodan Town, including 200 urgently needed archers, and another 500 heavy armored infantry, which Suldak needs most at present.
In addition to this, there are ten catapults, which is a surprise.
I learned from Handel, the logistics quartermaster in Wilkes City, that even the Wilkes City Military Department didn't have many catapults.
The Great Swordsman Chester was able to bring ten catapults this time, probably because he used his greatest ability.
He walked to the window and looked out onto the playground.
Seeing neat rows of marching tents set up on the flat playground, Suldak realized that the Great Swordsman Chester probably lived in this small building...
As a second-rank great swordsman, Chester should be very sensitive to the surrounding magic fluctuations, so when he passes through the summoning circle, the resulting mana fluctuations are likely to be sensed by Chester the great swordsman.
Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurried out of the study.
The living room was quiet. With a ray of light in the room, Suldak saw that the door of the guest room was actually open, and there was no breath inside.
He released his magic perception and confirmed that no one lived in this small building, not even Samira was on the attic side.
Suldak pushed open the door of the small building and walked out. The dark blue starry sky above his head was slowly changing color, and the stars were receding.
Asked the cavalry patrolling outside at night: "Have you seen the great swordsman Chester?"
The cavalry on night watch stopped.
A cavalry squad leader reported to Suldak: "Chester's deputy head went out from that direction at night, probably to the north city wall."
Suldak nodded.
He saw the lights on in the cafeteria of the barracks, as if they were preparing breakfast, only to realize that the cooks in the cafeteria needed to prepare 1,500 breakfasts, and the number of breakfasts was three times more than before. Several cooks are simply too busy.
Walking to the entrance of the cafeteria, I saw a row of large iron pots for cooking the broth. It seemed that the broth for the morning should be well prepared. These guys were frying scones on three pans. The scones that had been fried were neatly arranged. They are stacked in large baskets, and it seems that there is still a lot of shortage.
Suldak walked in, and several cooks in the cafeteria saluted to Suldak quickly.
"How far is it from baking oatmeal?" Suldak asked.
The chef of the cafeteria stood up and said with some embarrassment:
"There are still at least 700 sheets left. Before breakfast, we can cook another 300 sheets, and the rest will be ready soon!"
Suldak waved his hand and said, "You just need to prepare the broth and boiled beans. You send someone to inform the bakery in the town to prepare 800 baked wheat cakes. There are not enough people here. Wait." During the day, I will transfer manpower to you."
"Yes, my lord!" The chef didn't expect that the problem that had plagued him all night would be solved immediately. He breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the oily sweat on his forehead with the towel around his waist.
…
Suldak boarded the north city wall, and the east side of the thorny mountain just turned pale.
Nearly a thousand war horses at the barracks were driven out of the stables by the aboriginal herdsmen. They rode on the horses and waved their long whips, shouting, and drove a large group of war horses to the small river outside the town.
The cavalry have come out of the dormitory, ready to start morning exercises.
Suldak searched around the city wall, but he didn't see the figure of the great swordsman Chester. He only saw Samira leaning against a bed crossbow, and seemed to be fast asleep in the morning light.
Just as he was about to ask the guards on the top of the city wall, he heard the roar of monsters coming from under the city wall.
It was clearly the roar of a black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros. In the past few days, he repeatedly told the cavalry that when hunting monsters in the city, especially at night, they must seduce those maned beasts with simple minds and reckless personalities. , although they have rough skin and thick flesh, the magic of the earth-type petrified skin can only make their bodies as hard as rocks. As long as they are handled carefully, there will be no great danger.
But he didn't say that these cavalry could provoke the black-backed ice horned rhinoceros. This kind of big guy can freeze a soldier into an ice lump as long as he shoots a frost arrow, and then rushes up at a speed of 80 miles. The huge ice The horn is fully capable of picking ice lumps into ice slags.
Suldak leaned on the wall with his hands, and was about to yell at the cavalry below the city wall, 'You **** are dying! '
I saw the crowd below the city wall standing in front of a black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros, as if he was introducing the black-backed swordsman. The weakness of the ice horned rhinoceros, while demonstrating the fighting skills.
His movements are not fast, but every step he takes seems to have predicted the movement of the black-backed ice-horned rhino in advance, and dodged the attack of the black-backed ice-horned rhino first, especially the ice released by the black-backed ice-horned rhino He didn't use any special power to resist the arrow at all, but whenever the ice arrow was about to fall on him, his body was like a seaweed that was swaying randomly, and he avoided it with a slight twist That Frostbolt.
The black-backed ice-horned rhino was played around by him around the city, but he didn't use his sword to kill it, but every time he passed by, he patted the weak point of the black-backed ice-horned rhino with the blade of his sword, signaling those The cavalry who were watching by the side were going to attack the black-backed ice-horned rhino next time.
The black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros wasn't extremely stupid either. After being teased for a long time, its anger subsided, and it immediately realized that Chester's great swordsman was obviously much stronger than himself, so it immediately turned around and wanted to go Fleeing in the Dodan Gorge outside the northern city walls.
The meat that reaches the mouth, where will I let it go.
I saw the great swordsman Chester casually raised the double-edged sword in his hand, and the blade brought countless afterimages.
He takes a step forward.
Next second.
Chester Great Swordsman seemed to have spanned more than 20 meters, and appeared beside the black-backed ice horned rhinoceros. His body was still in balance while running, and the afterimage of the two-handed sword seemed to have spanned a long distance, from bottom to top , stabbing at the black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros at an extremely tricky angle.
The black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros looked even more terrified, as if he had bumped into the sword tip of Chester Great Swordsman.
The huge sword was inserted into the ventricle of the black-backed ice-horned rhino through the gap between the ribs, and then the great swordsman Chester used the power of the black-backed ice-horned rhino to twist his body and draw out the double-edged sword.
A huge amount of blood burst from between the ribs of the black-backed ice-horned rhino...
The black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros ran forward for more than 20 steps, and when its limbs softened, it fell down on the trampled grass...
