Oru reached the camp first, and then his heavy infantry was assembled one after another. Under the light of the torches lit on the left and right, Oru squinted his eyes and saw the figure in the dark in front of the camp. In Olu's eyes, this figure is so proud and arrogant. Alone, dare to stand in front of the barracks, this is louder than any slap in the face.
Sir already felt hot on his face. He grabbed a torch, threw it at the figure and shouted, "Who!"
The torch fell on the ground, and it went out. In the flame, the figure moved forward, so a short silver hair refracted the flame, burning and flying like a blue flame. Sir Olu's surprised face was reflected in the lava-red pupils.
The baron couldn't help taking a step back, and lost his voice: "Are you the Alan?"
They haven't seen Allen yet, but from the description of the previous commander and many rumors, they have learned some dazzling characteristics of this opponent. For example, the rare short silver hair, ruby-like eyes, and the pitch-black sword that killed Duluf.
So as soon as I saw Alan now, Oulu recognized him.
It seemed that Alan hadn't seen the iron cans behind the Baron, let alone the army horses in the camp starting to mobilize in this direction. He said calmly as if chatting with an old friend: "Good evening, Sir Oulu."
Oulu's mood is definitely not good. The Allen people are here, and they themselves are the greatest contempt for him and the army. Sir Olu's sensitive self-esteem is being tested the most, and if it hadn't been for Allen to kill Duluf first and then defeat him, it would have been famous. Otherwise, how could he be able to hold it back now and rushed up early. But now he can only calm down and say: "This night is indeed very beautiful, Sir Allen's behavior is really beyond ordinary people's expectations. I guess, Sir Allen must have another arrangement around here, but he came alone. , I wanted to get me out of the camp, so I stepped into your trap. What am I talking about?"
"Sir Oulu is really a cautious man, but I can tell you that I am indeed the only one here. I have a suggestion. Sir Oulu does not know how dare to accept my challenge. I can guarantee that before the winner is determined, Never leave this place." Allen put down the knife case and drew Qianjun out of it.
Oulu chuckled and said, "Sir Allen is really good at joking. How can the victory or defeat of the two armies be determined by one or two people."
He said this so grandly, but in fact everyone heard Oru's timidity. It's no wonder that he, Oulu asked Bitomen tough three-pointers, but after all, it was limited and not as good as Duluf. Even Sir Hungry Wolf was beheaded by the boy in front of him, and he was just ashamed of his own battle, so he simply found an excuse to refuse.
Allen suddenly stopped looking at him, looked up at the silver moon in the sky and said indifferently: "In this way, although the Viscount is big, there are very few true warriors. Duluf is a character, although Baron Thomas knows he is invincible, But in order to lead the people to fight, it is counted as one. Apart from these two, I can't see the third one."
Don't talk about Oulu now, even the heavily armed infantry next to him felt dull. It's just that their faces are hidden in their helmets, and they can't see their expressions. Olu's face was wonderful, and several emotions appeared alternately in an instant. With so many eyes ridiculed by Allen, he really wanted to dig a slit in the ground to hide himself.
He snorted at the moment: "Heavy Army Corps, keep Sir Allen. I want to see how much Earl Aubin is willing to pay for him."
The heavy armored soldiers shouted in unison, but Allen laughed and said, "Since Oulu has the courage to accept the challenge, I forgive me for not being with him."
After all, turn around and run.
Oru was taken aback, and then shouted: "Bring the horse here, you can't let him go back!"
Even knowing that Alan would not be stupid enough to be alone, Olu believed he could not bring a large army. And if there are thousands of fighters on your side, if you don't even dare to catch up with them, you won't have the face to see people in the future. Soon the soldiers brought the war horse, and Oulu jumped on the horse and rode up with the heavy armored regiment. He didn't believe Alan's two legs, and he could run past the four legs of a war horse.
As soon as Olu left the camp with the heavy corps, there was a shout from behind the camp. Raffles, who had just arrived in front of the camp, could only hear the sound and turn back. Only in the middle of the camp, he stopped the commander under his banner.
"My lord, you can't go anywhere." The commander smiled bitterly.
"What's going on?" Raffles felt that this was what he said the most tonight.
The commander frowned and said: "It is the enemy's strong. They slid down the cliff on the left to make a surprise attack. Our soldiers were caught off guard. They have been killed into the camp. But don't worry, I have organized several lines of defense. They stopped and are now preparing to mobilize soldiers and horses to besiege them."
Raffles said with a black face, "How many people are there?"
The commander held up three fingers.
"The three of them rushed into our barracks. Are our soldiers all paper-cut?" Raffles said angrily.
The commander smiled bitterly: "But each of them is at least your level of power, and one of the two-edged youths is even more powerful..."
At the end of the speech, there was a sharp sound of air bursting from behind the camp. Raffles looked up and saw, just in time to see a azure light/air across the camp, with a little gleaming light in the meantime, it looked like a cluster of stars and a galaxy. That kind of deep and vast aura, if the stars fall, the fruit is extraordinary.
"At all costs, I want to see their corpses!" Lefors said solemnly.
Unfortunately, when the commander wanted to close the encirclement and trap these strongmen, they were very keen. Perceiving the commander's actions, he forced a breakthrough first, leaving only the bodies of fifty soldiers.
Although the loss was not a lot, it undoubtedly slapped Raffles. What made the Baron unacceptable was that after these powerful men left, they were attacked again before dawn. The attack consisted of a force of about two hundred people. The sentry set by the commander outside the camp was completely incapable of alerting until it was touched by the enemy.
After a fierce and brief battle, the opponent quickly left, this time both sides suffered casualties.
But the successive attacks made all the soldiers in the camp frightened and unable to sleep at ease. By the morning of the next day, everyone was energetic. Raffles didn't sleep well either. He walked out of the camp and suddenly thought that Oulu and his regiment would return all night.
At this time, there was a sound of people outside the camp, and a soldier reported to the jazz that it was Oulu who had returned. But there were only a dozen people left in the heavy corps that came back with him, and Leifos was shocked. How to chase the individual, Oulu actually lost two-thirds of his elite strength.
When seeing Oulu, Raffles couldn't connect the man with dim eyes and decadent face to Oulu. He walked into the camp with Oulu, and after sending the soldiers away, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Olu smiled bitterly, and the scene that happened last night seemed to flash before his eyes.
The sound of hoofs resounded like thunder in the wilderness. Although he was a little behind because of the horse fetching, as Oulu expected, Alan could not run a horse in this flat wilderness. Soon Oulu saw the figure running wild under the moonlight.
That thin figure always gives people the feeling that they will fall to the ground with exhaustion in the next moment. But Alan ran forward, like an inexhaustible physical strength. Even under the chase of the horse, he still ran through the wilderness and plunged into the woods. Seeing the woods, Oulu hesitated. Going deep into the woods at night, the terrain is complicated, which gives Alan every opportunity to break through.
But if he left empty-handed like this, he would probably become a laughingstock for other jazz. Oru gritted his teeth and ventured into the forest. But at this time, Alan emerged from the forest again, and there were more than ten people behind him. They have weapons similar to fire/guns in their hands, but their appearance is much rougher than common muskets, just like small artillery pieces that can be held in their hands.
Although seeing Allen's men and horses holding weapons they had never seen before, they still had the advantage in numbers, and Olu did not hesitate to launch an attack. The heavy armored corps formed an offensive formation, dozens of horses charged together, and a strong murderous aura swept away.
According to Oulu's plan, as long as the Heavy Armed Corps survived the first round of attacks, once it was close to the opponent, then it was Allen's death. But what happened next completely subverted his cognition.
He only saw Alan point a heavy knife, then coldly commanded: "Fire Missile, three rounds of coverage attack!"
Next, the light patterns on the surface of the rough firearms flowed, and then bright fireballs traversed the ground, continuously smashing into the heavy armored regiment like a meteor shower. A series of fierce explosions completely illuminated the night, and the scorching air currents from the bursts even hit Oru, who was 20 meters away from the Corps. He looked at the thirty or so fireballs in disbelief. After a round of bombardment, the heavy armored regiment fell.
The heavy armor on these elites will not be broken, but they are also cracked everywhere. The important thing is that the soldier in an iron can was shaken to death inside. In particular, the bodies of the infantry soldiers at the bombing center were burned beyond recognition by the flames. Only half of the infantrymen in the outer circle were only injured. However, as three light spots appeared on the ground quietly, three consecutive black and red fire pillars rushed up, flying about a dozen infantry who happened to be on the light spots.
When they and the horse fell to the ground, they had become corpses.
Sir Oulu couldn't believe his carefully crafted heavy armored regiment, and it was eaten up by the opponent three or two. He gathered the remaining soldiers with fear and fear, and dared not launch an attack anymore, he could only turn back to the camp with his tail in a dingy manner.
"That's what happened." Olu said frustratedly: "Those weird guns, I dare to swear that the improved rifles deployed by the Empire's regular army have no such power. And it is strange that when those guns shoot fireballs, I obviously feel the source of power. fluctuation."
Raffles said from ear to ear, "You mean, those are the weapons that can drive the original force? Such weapons can't even be made in the Empire's weapon workshop, right?"
"I don't know, but I know a little bit. Next time you meet them, don't charge rashly, otherwise we will face a threat of firepower comparable to a burst of artillery."
Raffles nodded heavily, then comforted Oru a few words before leaving.
The army pulled out of the camp and set off after an hour. The march was fairly smooth, but when it was about to pass through a mountain road that was necessary to the sunset city, the army had to stop. What stopped the army was the obstacle formed by the gravel, broken trees, and tons of gravel. This pile of obstacles was as big as a small mountain bag, which blocked the entrance of the mountain road, making Raffles' face as ugly as it was.
Needless to say, he also knew that the obstacles in front of him were gifts from Allen. Of course, the army can bypass this mountain road, pass through a forest not far away, and head to Sunset City from another direction. But in this way, it would take four or five more days. If it's just like this, just think about the repeated raids by Alan and his men last night, knowing that once they enter the forest, they will give the other side a flexible guerrilla opportunity.
After discussing with Olu, Ryphos decided to take a break here and let the soldiers clear the obstacles. They were frightened, especially Oulu, who was frightened by the loss of the Heavy Armed Corps last night. He would rather spend more effort than diverted through the forest to give Alan a chance to attack.
This day until evening, most of the obstacles were cleared. Seeing this, it will probably be cleaned up tomorrow morning. After this day, the soldiers were tired and thirsty, and many soldiers had chapped lips. If this continues without water~EbookFREE.me~ the soldiers probably won't even have the strength to fight. Raffles had to send someone to find a source of water nearby. Fortunately, there is a small river running out of the forest next to it. Although the amount of water drawn each time is limited, it also temporarily alleviated the crisis of water shortage in the army.
In the evening, the two knights increased their vigil, and more soldiers arranged to watch the night, and focused on protecting their little food, for fear that Alan would burn again. After midnight, seeing everything calm and calm, the two knights rest assured. But not long after lying down, Raffles smelled a choking smoke. He opened his eyes, and a cloud of gray smoke was flowing across the floor of the camp.
Sir thought that there was a fire in the barracks, and hurried out through the tent. But there was no obvious fire in the camp in the dark, but there was a huge cloud of smoke billowing from the front, spreading through the entire barracks, choking the soldiers to sleep, and coughing everywhere. The smoke is getting bigger and bigger, the visibility in the camp has dropped a lot, and people even dare not speak loudly, for fear of inhaling too much smoke.
Raffles covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and shouted vaguely: "Go and call the commander!"
As soon as the order went down, a large group of people rang out from the back of the camp, and Raffles heard his heart sinking. He knew that it must be another attack by Allen.
