Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 179 The Savior Arrives
The centurion's opening remarks made the Erasia people present couldn't believe their ears. You must know that Rhodoks have been at odds since the Erasia Empire destroyed the Holy Light Dynasty, and the war between the two races has continued. For 400 years, the hatred between each other has long been superimposed to the point where it is difficult to eliminate it with words. Now this person from the Rhodoks Legion came over and said to rescue them. Even if the situation is so critical, any backbone Erasia No one will accept it.

But fortunately there are not only Erathians here, Stannis as a time traveler has no such moral burden, he raised his hand to welcome, "You guys are so timely! Get us out quickly!"

Stannis could feel that everyone behind him was looking at him with contempt, but this kind of life-and-death crisis didn't matter so much, he wouldn't die here with the hatred he didn't understand at all.

But the centurion did not move forward. He pointed to the archers who were still standing behind Stannis, indicating that they had not lifted their guard.

He can still give this order, Stannis waved his hand and ordered: "Archer, put down the bow!"

Although very reluctant, the archers put away their bows and arrows. As a thank you, the Rhodoks on the opposite side also retracted their daggers into their scabbards.

Then the pair of heavily armed soldiers marched up the hillside in two files and entered among the gnashing Erathians.

Stannis could feel the smell of gunpowder between the two sides. If they didn't have a common enemy, they might not be biting each other with their teeth now.

He decided to do something to ease the tense atmosphere.

"I'm Stanislav Justin, the lord of Qiweini, what should I call you, Mr. Vibius." He asked the leading officer.

The battle-scarred warrior put his right hand on his breastplate and gave him a serious military salute, "Although call me a centurion, respectable Your Excellency Justin."

It seemed that this guy was very proud of this title. From the battle medals lined up on his chest, Stannis could feel the Rhodoks' pride in being able to join the Legion.

Stannis asked again: "You just said you came to rescue us? How do you know we're trapped here?"

Vibius raised his hand and said with a smile: "It told us, Your Excellency."

Stannis raised his head and found that it was the raven that had been hovering over his head. It had also appeared in the deserted village.

"Can your crows talk?" Stannis asked curiously.

Vibius shook his head, and explained patiently: "Our heavenly father priest masters the secret technique, can control the raven to fly, and observe everything through its eyes. The priest in the corps saw the scene of you being trapped, so the corps The commander immediately sent me to bring people over for support."

"Oh, it's Crow's Eye technology, really advanced." Stannis admired, but he glanced at the thousands of Chaos people on the other side of the river, and roughly counted the number of Rhodoks' troops, and asked a little worriedly: "But how did you lead us to break through? I counted, and you only brought 200 people, plus our 600 people here, it is absolutely impossible to break through the blockade of those monsters."

But Vibius was not at all anxious and affectionate. He shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, there may be a misunderstanding between us. I brought two centurions here not to help you break through, but to stick with you and wait for help." .”

"What!" Robert, who had been eavesdropping, jumped out angrily, "I said that these Rhodoks can't believe it, you are playing us, guard? How can you guard with so few people! Are you here?" Let's see how we Erasians were slaughtered!"

Stannis glared at him and motioned him to shut up. "Go on, Centurion, please."

"I know that it is very difficult to defend in this form, but as long as we can persist until the sun sets tomorrow, my boss, the commander of the Seventh Corps, Romulo, will bring two corps to support."

"Then why doesn't he bring people here now? If you can arrive in time, I believe they will arrive before tonight no matter how slow they are!"

Vibius shook his head impersonally, which fits well with his status as a soldier, "The people of Chaos didn't just attack you this time, tens of thousands of these monsters suddenly appeared and attacked everywhere, although we No trace of them has been found in the territory of Rhodok, but several villages here asked for help from the V Army Corps stationed on the border line, so the Legion divided the various regiments under its command into several roads for rescue, and the people assigned to this territory There are only two army regiments. We only rescued the entire village yesterday evening. After we settled them down, we received an emergency call from another larger town this morning, so the main force went to help there, and there was really no spare troops. , so I was first sent to support you in defense."

The Erathians headed by Robert complained loudly, and they spread all their grievances on these Rhodoks, and some even shouted that these Rhodoks brought those monsters, completely forgetting that the other party just now Saved my life.

Stannis was very contemptuous of the behavior of these guys putting down their bowls and cursing their mothers. He felt that standing still and waiting for help was the safest strategy right now. Amazing performance.

"But we only have such a small number of people, how can we hold it? Those monsters may launch a surprise attack at any time!" Stannis still didn't completely calm down.

Vibius seemed to know that he would have asked this question a long time ago, so he replied seriously: "Just now you were very wise to cross the river and run to the hillside to buy us time. Those monsters seem to be afraid of water, so Until the river refreezes, it's safe here."

Unexpectedly, his quick wit played such a big role, and Stannis praised himself in his heart.

Then the centurion with rich combat experience began to plan how to build fortifications. He pointed to the bottom of the hillside and said: "We are going to dig a trench along the side of the hillside, which can delay the monsters' attack. Leave a passage, those monsters have no intelligence, they will follow their instincts to pass through there, greatly reducing the possibility of them crawling over from the trench, my people will guard the passage, and you only need to deploy people on the edge of the trench to prevent any Sporadic monster breakthroughs."

"Hey! You guys really have the courage to take on the most dangerous missions automatically. 200 Ququ people have to face thousands of monsters?" Stannis said with emotion.

Vibius looked solemn, and said unwaveringly, "It is the bounden duty of our Rhodoks soldiers to die on the battlefield."

Although his words should have no other meaning, Stannis still felt that he deliberately said it to them. Sure enough, some bloody Erathians shouted dissatisfiedly and asked to join the battle.

But can those monsters follow his vision, leave unguarded trenches without climbing, and honestly walk through the passage with someone's handle?Suddenly, he remembered an important thing, "Pupil oil! These monsters should also be afraid of fire!"
