Lord Highlander

  Chapter 747 736. The new army joins

  When the first ray of sunlight hit the north city wall, Samira felt the warmth of the sun and woke up from the control position of the bed crossbow.

  Last night, she squatted on the crossbow control position on the bed and stared at it for most of the night, until Chester's deputy army commander ran to the bottom of the city wall and taught the cavalry basic combat skills.

  Samila's tense heartstrings relaxed.

  With such a rank two great swordsman by his side, no matter how reckless those cavalrymen were, they wouldn't be in too much trouble.

Samira wrapped her body in a cloak, curled up on the chair at the crossbow control position of the bed, and slept for a while. Maybe it was because she was a little tired these days, or maybe it was because she felt the intoxicating breeze in the canyon and listened to the roars of those monsters. Instead, she felt much more at ease, and she felt like she had a long dream.

  Woke up and felt the bright sunshine. She stood up from the control chair, supported herself with one arm, turned over and stood on the bed of the bed crossbow, stretched her arms and stretched her waist.

  The battle under the north city wall has subsided, and the torches under the north city wall have also been extinguished, and some of the torches are still emitting a wisp of smoke.

  The battle last night caused a mess under the northern city wall.

Many grasslands have been destroyed, and there are more monsters surrounding the north city wall than yesterday. Some of them are hiding in the wild grass, some are looking for a breakthrough around the north city wall, and some monsters are hiding in the canyon In the woods at the foot of the mountains on both sides.

  If this group of monsters wants to pass through the Dodan Canyon, they must cross the northern city wall.

  Now the north city wall is full of city guards. It is impossible for these monsters to rush into the occupied area and let these monsters threaten the people living here.

  …

  Samira walked down the city wall, and a team of city defense guards who were about to switch defenses came in front of them.

  When the guards saw Samira approaching, they immediately stood on the edge of the steps and made way for Samira to walk over first.

  When they looked at Samira, there was a kind of worship in their eyes.

Samira has been guarding the city for the past few days. She gave these city guards a lot of archery skills, and gave them to predict the wind speed, the running speed of the monster and the trajectory of the arrow during the flight. Only these three points are all perfect. Considering it, it is possible to shoot the monsters under the city.

  The guards in the city defense brigade basically belong to the military service period, and they have no income.

  City defense guards from ordinary families usually have cleaner pockets than faces.

Although these guards live and eat in the city defense brigade, they occasionally have the opportunity to go to the commercial street in Duodan Town. Seeing the dazzling array of goods on the street, they also have some desire to shop in their hearts, but most of them just look at them through the window. Now, even if you want to buy it, you can't afford it.

Among these guards, except for some young people who came here from the Green Empire to serve in the military, they are basically young people from the aborigines. Everyone is used to living a hard life, so they don’t think there is anything wrong with such a life. .

  In recent days, before the beast tide came, a large number of monsters gathered under the city wall, in order to ensure the safety of the hunters and cavalry who went out to hunt monsters out of the city.

Commander Suldak ordered that when the monsters entered the range of the bed crossbow, the guards on the top of the city could use the bed crossbow to shoot and kill the prey, but the number of guards on the top of the city We can share a little bit.

   The guards were able to use the bed crossbow to kill monsters in the city, thanks to Samira's on-site guidance. Now almost all of these guards have made a little money.

  They even look forward to it, and it is best for such days to last.

   The respect for Samira changed from respect to worship.

  I hear people talking all day long. Captain Samira in the cavalry battalion hunted and killed three moonblade fire wolves yesterday. When the mercenary group below the city wall brought up the wolf's head, they didn't even look at it...

  …

  Samira walked through the blood-stained city gate fence, and the blood of the monster made the ground appear a black-purple color.

The air was filled with a faint smell of blood. The sharp claws of some monsters made deep marks on the wall, and there were some traces of fire on the arched cave roof. The cavalry leaned against the wall in the doorway and sat together. Row.

  One. The night of fighting made them exhausted, talking and laughing while drinking hot water.

  On the other side of the city wall doorway, there are some corpses of maned beasts, including a huge black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros. These victories will be converted into silver coins and recorded in the book.

  Some members of the mercenary regiment slowly walked through the city gate with their weapons on their backs.

  They seemed cautious, not even daring to make any noise in the city gate.

  Because they also needed the city guards to control the bed crossbows to deter the monsters below the city walls, the violent temper of these mercenaries restrained a lot.

  Suldak is giving basic treatment to several wounded cavalrymen in the city gate, cleaning the wounds, healing them with Holy Light, and suturing them with cotton thread.

When treating wounded soldiers recently, Suldak likes to use the holy light torch. No matter where the light is dark, as long as a trace of holy breath is injected into the holy light torch, the torch will burn immediately and emit a warm light .

  The Great Swordsman Chester also sat with these cavalrymen. Seeing that Suldak handled the cavalrymen's injuries meticulously, the Great Swordsman Chester found that Marquis Luther's eyes were really accurate.

  Suldak ran over to greet him, and immediately went to the rescue work.

  The great swordsman Chester is giving some knowledge to a cavalry who has just been promoted to the first rank.

  The cavalryman seemed a little excited, and told the great swordsman Chester about his rough life.

  He is a veteran who followed Suldak out of the barren land. He had injured his leg during his military service.

He is also a very lucky person. At that time, his service period just expired, so he retired due to injury and returned to his hometown in the barren land. However, after the injury recovered, the injured leg has been a bit difficult to walk. Originally, he wanted to return to his hometown. Marry two wives and have two children, life is considered a little poor, but as long as you can live on... you will live like this until you grow old.

  He didn't expect that the barren land would be so barren. When he was alone, he thought it was nothing. After the wife he married and gave birth to a child, those thoughts were completely different.

  Joining the cavalry battalion this time is to earn a sum of money.

   I didn't expect that I would gain so much. Not only did my old injuries heal, but my strength returned to the peak of level nine.

  Before dawn, watching the Chester swordsman hunt and kill the ice horned rhino, he actually had some indescribable feelings in his heart.

  I just felt some kind of power rushing out of my body, condensing into a phantom of a black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros behind me.

  He is like a moth that has broken out of its cocoon, breaking through some kind of shackles in the body, and feeling the surging power behind him very clearly.

  The great swordsman Chester gave him a few pointers. The cavalryman was surrounded by his companions. He was a little incoherent, casually talking about his most real feelings when he made a breakthrough.

  …

  Samira squatted beside Suldak without saying a word, helping him put a hemostatic bandage on a cavalryman.

  Suldak asked about the situation in the canyon. He heard that there were more and more monsters, so his face became serious.

  Seeing Aung San carrying a bow and arrow and a group of aborigines in simple leather armor coming from the town, Suldak beckoned Aung San over and asked him:

   "There are so many monsters gathered outside, you still want to run out?"

   A group of aborigines were waiting aside.

   Aung San leaned over with a spear in his hand, grinning and said:

   "You must try!"

  He looked back at the group of companions behind him, and said to Suldak:

"They feel that with the support of the bed crossbow on the north city wall, there should be a chance to hunt some maned beasts. We can't kill them, but there are many ways to lure them here. While we can still hunt now, Always stock up."

  Suldak also knew that the aborigines had a difficult life in Dodan Town, so he asked:

   "Did you say hello over the city wall?"

   Aung San smiled triumphantly, and admitted: "Well, our nephew is on duty at the top of the city."

  Suldak waved his hand and muttered, "Then be careful, don't always bet your life."

   Aung San didn't mean to blame Suldak when he saw that he straightened his waist immediately, and said cheerfully:

   "Understood, Lord Suldak."

   Then he led a group of aboriginal hunters and walked out of the city gate quickly.

  …

  The Great Swordsman Chester sat on the side. Hearing the conversation between Suldak and a group of aboriginals, he was actually worried that the aboriginals would be in danger when they went out at this time.

  The surrounding cavalry also showed no surprise, looked at Surdak with some surprise, and said to him:

   "You are different from other commanders."

  Suldak finished the work in his hand, put the hemostatic bandage in his pocket, stood up and looked at the great swordsman Chester.

  Chester Great Swordsman said: "You actually care about the local aborigines."

Suldak lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "The land here has become the territory of the Grimm Empire, and the aborigines here have also become the subjects of Emperor Charles the Great and the Grand Duke Newman. They live in the small town of Dodan. Think it's my responsibility to keep them safe."

   "This is indeed the truth, and the other people you said understand it too." The great swordsman Chester said.

  He stroked the broad-bladed sword with one hand, and continued:

"However, in the Green Empire, many commanders attach great importance to the blood of the empire. Their arrogance in their bones talks about blood, inheritance, and aristocrats. They reject everything outside the empire in their hearts. Facing the aborigines living in these occupied areas, They can't treat people equally, so in many plane regions, exploiting the local aborigines always happens repeatedly."

  “Many small problems accumulate together, and slowly accumulate into public grievances, which will always be the fuse of some wars in the end.”

   "The war of resistance launched by the aborigines in conjunction with the local indigenous tribes has always been the main war quelled by our lord legion. Now that the dark legion has invaded various planes, no one has paid attention to these contradictions."

   "But it doesn't mean that these contradictions will disappear completely. When these contradictions accumulate to a certain extent, they will explode again."

   "This is also when I was fighting the demons in the Vala Valley on the plane of Kenda. I saw many alien knights in the Mo's Legion, as well as a group of dwarf warriors and elf archers. Only then did I know something about the multi-race mixed legion."

  The Great Swordsman Chester stood up, stretched his arms around Suldak's shoulders, walked with him through the gate of the city wall, and walked towards the barracks.

  Suldak rarely heard about the demons, so he asked curiously at this time:

   "Big Swordsman Chester, have you ever seen a real demon?"

   "Hmm!" Chester Great Swordsman replied.

   "What do they look like?" Surdak asked curiously.

The Great Swordsman Chester said bitterly: "Those memories are indeed not good. Demons look similar to humans and elves. Demons have strong bodies. They are just like elves, and they are born with the ability to master magic, just like elves. Close to nature, the magician mastered by the demons is chaos and curse."

   "Every demon has a devil's horn on his head, and that devil's horn is the source of their power."

   "We killed a lot of people in that battle. It can be said to be the most tragic battle in these years. A grand duke was seriously injured because of this, but it was those people who let us see what the real Constructed Knights are."

   "The group of constructed knights riding black-scale warhorses let me see the ceiling of the constructed knights."

"If they dare to stand up and challenge our constructed swordsmen individually, they may not be as good as our constructed swordsmen, but if ten people get together, they can probably draw with our ten constructed swordsmen. .”

   "If five hundred people gather together, even if we have a thousand constructed swordsmen, it is estimated that it will be difficult to defeat them."

  Big Swordsman Chester and Suldak chatted familiarly, like old friends who have known each other for a long time, and then they returned to the barracks together.

  …

   Accompanied by Suldak and a group of squadron leaders, Chester Great Swordsman had a sumptuous breakfast.

Afterwards, Chester Great Swordsman called over the seventeen squadron leaders in the mixed reinforcement team, and said to them in the conference room of the barracks: "This is Baron Suldak, the garrison commander of Dodan Town, During the period of fighting against the beast tide in Invercargill, all of you must obey the command of Baron Suldak."

   "Yes, Captain Chester." A group of squadron leaders answered in unison.

  Although they are a little unfamiliar with Suldak, there are some rumors about the commander of the cavalry battalion.

  Now Suldak is standing in front of them, seventeen pairs of eyes fell on Suldak at the same time, looking at Suldak seriously from top to bottom.

Suldak stood beside Chester Great Swordsman, feeling a little nervous in his heart, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Thank you all for going to Dodan Town to assist the Independent Cavalry Battalion in resisting the ghost-striped red ants together before the beast horde came. I don't want to say too much, I just hope that we will be stationed here to block the footsteps of those ghost-striped red ants from invading south, so let's encourage each other..."
