Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 189 Corps
Stannis dropped his swords and sat down weakly, he could no longer hold them.

At this time, the awakened power in his body has dissipated, and he has returned to the familiar traveler.

And on the re-frozen ice shell, hordes of monsters were rushing towards him. Although they lost their leader, they did not disperse.

Stannis, who had exhausted all his strength, supported his body with his hands, and sat there calmly as if on an outing. There was nothing that could save him. Facing the tide of corpses like a vast ocean, the defense line built by humans It is about to be defeated. Although the number of Chaos people has been wiped out by half, the coalition forces of Erathia and Rhodok have also lost all casualties. Facing the attack from three directions, it is only a matter of time before they fall.

Maybe it's good to just hang up like this. Thinking of this, the fear in his heart has been relieved a lot, at least this way he won't have to face Annist and her betrayal...

The monster was less than 10 meters away from him, and in a few seconds, his head would fall to the ground.

But he felt that the ice surface was shaking, the two swords were shaking constantly on it, and there was a huge roar in the distance, like... the sound of steel hitting the ice?

Through the endless tide of corpses, Stannis found that hundreds of cavalry appeared in the far south. They held extended cross spears in their hands and wore light breastplates on their bodies. Burning, iron hooves hit the ground.

And judging by the flags they tied to the butts of their guns, they were Rhodoks!

Finally, at the moment when the sun was about to set, the reinforcements they promised appeared in the sky in time.

"Boss, you are so heavy, it's time to lose weight."

While complaining, Robert carried Stannis through the black water. A large number of Chaos people were being surrounded and harvested not far away, but these were all done by the new guys.

"After this battle, I'll find a country woman to have a baby, and I'll never touch swords again." Robert couldn't remember how many swords he had hacked and how many swords he had picked up just now. He was so red-eyed that he tore off the sickle from the monster and used it as a weapon.

"Don't stand up with this kind of flag! I'm going to squeeze you a little more~~" Stannis said weakly, and he was being dragged forward like a flour sack.

A cavalryman came from a distance, and the moist white gas from the nose of the sitting white horse made Stannis's nose itchy.

"Excuse me, who is Your Excellency Justin?"

"I am." Stannis tried to raise his hand, but finally gave up.

The knight gave him a solemn military salute, and then said: "I am ordered by the commander of the army, Romulo, to invite you to meet him. The place is beside the ditch."

"Ha, here comes a big man, Carrot, drag me over~~"

The two guys lingered on the snow for a long time before they appeared at the bottom of the hillside. The flames in the tunnel had long been extinguished, and the inside was filled with the remains of the burned bones, which almost filled the trench. These are the only ones left by the dead Chaos people. relics.

And there, an officer wearing heavy armor was standing there bowing his head in silence. Under his feet, rows of Rhodoks' brown bear banners were spread out on the ground, and the bottom was covered with cold corpses. These are Rhodok soldiers who died in battle. Under those white faces, Stannis suddenly found the face of Vibius. This brave centurion was lying there as if sleeping peacefully. According to Rhodok It is said that this warrior was still fighting hard until his thigh was cut off.

Stannis stood there silently, he didn't disturb the corps commander's silent ceremony, finally after waiting for a few minutes, the middle-aged man with gray hair finally raised his head, he nodded apologetically to Stannis .

"I'm so sorry, my lord, this is our Rhodok tradition, and it's the last thing I can do for my comrades who died in battle, and then they will be cremated and wrapped in this flag and sent back to their loved ones inside."

Stannis shook his head nonchalantly, indicating that he understood.However, this army is too advanced, with a professional quality comparable to the strongest army in the cold weapon era, and a perfect aftercare system. Stannis couldn't help but ask if they were established by another traverser.

Not only is this a professional army system, but the combat effectiveness of these Rhodoks is also amazing. Although they attack from behind, in just a quarter of an hour, this army of only 700 people will be three times their size. The monsters were all wiped out like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. First, the cavalry launched a charge to disperse the formation of the monsters, and then the infantry formed a square formation of 50 people to approach, and then spread out the formation to start killing efficiently.

Stannis, who was sitting on the ground at the time, watched the battle with his mouth open. It turns out that humans can also massacre monsters one-sidedly. Compared with the efficient combat methods of the Rhodoks Legion, Erathia's army is said to be a mob. It is to praise them.

At the moment when the battle was over, another bold idea came to Stannis' mind.

"Commander of the Romulus Corps, thank you for your timely rescue. Without your army, the consequences would be disastrous."

The regiment leader shook his head, "These are the credits of my men fighting bravely. They just resisted a monster attacking the town in the morning, and immediately moved here. And Vibius..." He paused, and said wistfully : "My old friend took the initiative to ask Ying to help you defend. I didn't expect him to die in this foreign land in the end."

Although he had only known Vibius for less than a day, Stannis was already full of admiration for the centurion.

Suddenly he scratched his head, and said with a little shame: "Really, you see, we ran for our lives all the way, and we didn't bring any valuables to reward your men. After these monsters died, they turned into a pool of black water, and there were no loot to seize .”

Romulo shook his head and corrected him seriously: "We are the Rhodoks Legion, and we only need to obey the commander's orders."

"But why did you save us? As far as I know, Erasia and Rhodok have a sworn enemy. You can stand still and watch the fire on the other side of the border, but why pay such a high price Come to rescue your enemies? Even just civilians."

Romulo looked serious, and he had already thought about this question clearly, "Because now we have to abandon all hatred and fight against unknown enemies together. The end of this world is coming. If we humans cannot unite, we can count on other races Will you carry the enemy with us?"

Stannis did not expect such enlightened words to come from the mouth of a mid-level military officer. The ideological awareness of people in this world is really not simple.

"Did you come up with these words yourself?"

Romulo shook his head and said the same words as Vibius before, "No, this is the speech delivered by our commander, V Corps Commander Hamilson at the mobilization meeting."

"..." Stannis decided to meet this guy named Hamilson to see if he was a time traveler.
