Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 183 Elegy
After parting with Seaworth, Stannis, who was in an extremely excited state, did not feel sleepy. Although it was late at night, he still decided to check whether there were any loopholes in the defense line before going to sleep.

After walking down the hillside, he was surprised to find that there were many white tents on the north side of the trench dug in the afternoon. It seemed that the Rhodoks Legion had already prepared to camp here. The Lasians robbed the house, and Stannis had to look at their military discipline.

"This is not Your Excellency Justin, why can't you sleep so late?"

Stannis heard a familiar voice coming from the campfire. He looked for the voice and found that it was the centurion Vibius sitting beside him.

The lord smiled and walked over, "I wonder if you can let me sit down and keep warm?"

Vibius made a gesture of invitation, and Stannis sat down unceremoniously.He rubbed his body to keep warm, and sure enough, after getting used to the bursting warmth of oil, ordinary flames no longer had the effect of warming him.

"Do you have any wine?" He asked more and more.

Vibius smiled. The best way for men to enhance their relationship is to drink together. He handed a bulging snakeskin wine bag to Stannis, who drank greedily after taking it.

Unlike the spicy spirits here, Rhodok's wine is very mild, even a little sweet, just like rice wine. Stannis took a few greedy sips, and his body finally warmed up.

As soon as people drink, the chatterbox will of course be opened, and Stannis patted his shoulder and shouted: "I said that you guys are really real, and you came here to rescue your enemies from far away. It seems that you Rhodoks Is the spirit of internationalism rampant?"

Vibius was very serious, "These monsters are the common enemy of our mankind. In front of them, all of us must unite, otherwise we will only be destroyed."

"Drink, I didn't expect such a big old man to have such a high level of ideological consciousness. You came up with these words yourself?"

Vibius shook his head, "No, this is the speech delivered by our Legion Commander Hamilton at this mobilization meeting."

"Worthy of being the head of the legion, the level of speaking is different."

Stannis drank a few more sips of wine, and then observed the Rhodok soldiers sitting next to him. Those soldiers can be roughly classified into two categories: pikemen who use crossbows, and crossbowmen who use heavy crossbows. It should be noted that regardless of melee and long-distance combat, every soldier carries a large broad shield and a dagger at his waist, even the centurion is no exception.

One is near and the other is far, but the division of labor is clear, but the number of people is too small.Stannis thought so, and then he glanced at the Chaos people on the other side of the river. A steady stream of white monsters were gathering, and they saw twice as many as they saw this morning.

"Are you afraid? Your Excellency Stannis." Vibius followed his gaze and noticed what he was looking at.

The lord forced a smile on his frozen and stiff face and told the truth, "Facing that kind of ghost, how can a person not be afraid!"

The centurion nodded, "I'm also lucky to be like you, so scared that I'm about to collapse."

Stannis glanced at him like that, so calm he really couldn't see it.

"But we are warriors of Rhodoks, and it is the destiny of warriors to go back with this shield or lie on it!"

Why does Stannis feel that this sentence is very familiar, but he still decided to say something to ease the atmosphere, "Don't be so serious, maybe we can all survive..."

Before he could finish speaking, the centurion drew out his dagger and began to strike on the shield, and more and more soldiers responded to their commander, and struck the shield with their sword hilts. In the end, countless powerful The voices merged together and made rhythmic drumbeats like beating drums.

"I said how to start playing the drums while talking well, then don't you want to..."

Vibius began to sing, and his soldiers joined in.

"...Sing the war hymn if you don't agree with each other." Stannis finally let go of his hands helplessly, and had no choice but to give up complaining.

The Rhodoks were singing military songs in their own language. Although they couldn't understand the lyrics, the sad and bleak tone made Stannis suffocated and unable to speak. He suddenly understood that these people's desperate battles were not for the so-called empty 'Glory', but just to simply survive and go back, to be able to reunite with his family.

Finally, the late-night chorus ended with angry complaints from Erathia's side.

The next morning, Stannis, who walked out of the house rubbing his eyes, was shocked by the dark scene in front of him. After a night of gathering, the Chaos people on the other side of the river still accumulated a jaw-dropping number. After counting it, I desperately found that there were at least 5000 monsters on the opposite side.

And there are less than 1000 of them here... One-third of them are already scared out of their wits. No matter how you look at it, they have no hope of persisting until the afternoon.

Stannis hurriedly dressed and put on the two swords. After thinking for a while, he still didn't bring the pickaxe, because it is best to save energy when facing that kind of monster.

When he finished dressing and jumped down the hillside, he found that Rhodok's army had already started to line up. Row after row of spearmen raised their shields to form a tortoise shell formation and stationed in the aisle. Lin's spears shot from between the shields The gaps extend out and are stacked on top of each other, just like a steel hedgehog.

At the same time, Rhodok's crossbowmen also stood with Qiweini's foot archers, and they would take the lead in launching the first round of strikes.

Behind the Rhodok tortoise shell formation is Barrow's troops. He is now led by Robert to guard the trench and prevent monsters from breaking through there.

The people of Fibos and Turania are guarding the west side, where there is a relatively shallow river beach that has not yet frozen, which can prevent the Chaos people from attacking from there, so the pressure is not great.Enrique and Wayne's troops are deployed on the east side, where there is a cliff, so just prevent sneak attacks.

Apart from them, there were about 300 people still huddled in the abandoned village. No matter how much Stannis tried, the frightened group of guys still refused to fight.

Now there was only a river between them and those monsters, and at noon, the river finally froze!
As if someone gave them a silent order again, the Chaos people began to march towards the hillside in batches, one at first, then a group, and finally this huge wave of pale corpses rushed towards the living.
