After Becoming The Tyrant - Chapter 154
The sky is gray, the sun has not yet fully risen, the earth is covered with light blue smoke.
Tarry led 3000 Knights through the wilderness of Legrand. In the blue mist, their armor was cold, and there were dark red bloodstains left in the cracks of the armor, which were the traces of their fighting all the way from putaogang. His retinue, Dutt, followed him on a brown horse.
“Rogram, those damned women.”
Dutt, the squire, complained to Tari.
Tali took a look at his friend. There was a scar on his face that had not yet healed. Bone could be seen deep. It looked like someone had bitten a piece of meat from his face.
Tali knew how the wound came from. When they passed by a small town the day before yesterday, the soldiers had a rest there for a night and had some dry food. Dutt fell in love with a local blonde shepherdess. Just as she was doing that, the blonde bit him down the throat.
If Duna hadn’t flashed fast enough, it wouldn’t be a facial injury now.
The blonde shepherdess with freckles on her face was like a madman, biting Duna in the face like a madman, no matter how hard he kicked herself. The other knights who watched the play saw that it was not good. They gave her an arrow, and then she fell on the grass pile, biting the torn meat in her mouth.
Duna swearing at that time, but also want to take advantage of the body is not cold, finish the work.
The tower stopped him, a fire lit the grass, and ordered the slaughter.
“That girl can’t be possessed.”
As he inhaled the air, Duna raised his hand to take off his helmet. The shepherdess bit so hard that the helmet rubbed against the wound and the blood continued to flow out.
There was no answer from the tower.
In front of him, the last look of the blonde shepherdess who had fallen on the grass the day before yesterday was constantly emerging. That face was actually very common, and it was Duna who was not afraid of meat and vegetables that could have evil intentions. The face of the freckled young woman was red with blood, and her expression was twisted. It was not despair or fear, but a kind of incomparable hatred, incomparable venom, and something he could not say.
He seems to have seen it many times since he set foot on the land of Legrand.
It was because of that expression that a kind of inexplicable fear exploded in the heart of the tower, so that he instinctively ordered to burn the village, and burned the expression that made him fear in the fire.
When the whole village was burning in the fire, and an old man rushed up, grabbed a stone and tried to kill them, the tower suddenly realized why he was afraid.
He watched as the old man holding the stone was picked up by the knight’s long gun. The old man held the stone to death, and his eyes were staring at them.
The eyes of the old man and the eyes of the shepherdess overlap. There is no fear, no regret, only strong hatred and anger, just like the eyes of a lion. He’s seen a lot of these eyes! Since the landing of the eternal knights, they have been fighting all the way. He has seen such eyes on the people of Legrand too many times!
This time, as the vanguard of the holy army of the holy land, the eternal Knights did not carry too many supplies. The small manors and towns they passed by were their natural supply points.
In the past sacred army movement, this method of “supplying on the spot” saved time and effort for the sacred army, and achieved remarkable results. However, this time in Legrand, their “local supply” operation was much more difficult than before. In the past, the villages and towns encountered in the holy army movement, faced with the murderous Knights’ order, either fled early or paid ransom in advance, encountered little resistance – how can civilians resist the well-equipped Knights’ order?
This time alone, their progress in Legrand has been frustrated.
Along the way, they met a manor town. The people of Legrand would rather burn their own food than provide any necessary supplies for the Knights. They had to take the lead in attacking ordinary villages and killing some adult men before they were able to stay and rest there.
Tali couldn’t understand what inspired these people to raise their arms to the prestigious order of eternal knights?
They are just ordinary people! The best self defense forces are just wearing crude leather armor and holding simple swords. The rest of the old people, women and children are even carrying kitchen knives and sticks. Are they coming to make fun of them?
I don’t understand in the tower.
He looked back at the army he led. In fact, according to the original plan, he should have taken a larger team to just hit Jolin county. However, although the siege movement of the eternal Knights progressed rapidly, the hostility of the citizens to the powerful enemy who occupied their city was stronger than that of any nation they met before.
The Knights of eternity had to leave more men to stay in the stronghold that they had not easily attacked.
People in this country, the people of Legrand, from top to bottom, seem to have a kind of spirit flowing in their veins, just like everyone is crazy.As lions roar, as lions never surrender.
Tali has never met a country like this, a nation that seems to be able to burn down their cities but not their backbones.
This made him feel a kind of extreme fear.
Vaguely, Tari’s confidence in the 200000 holy army’s rapid destruction of the country was shaken.
“My Lord, we are almost there.”
The leader of the procession was a priest. He was wearing a wrinkled black robe and sitting on a mare with a beer belly. He secretly rubbed his back with his hands. Obviously, this guy, who is more familiar with wine than holy book, was tortured by the rapid march.
“Through that valley, in front of you is the plain of kenty, just across the plain.”
He had been on his way since the day before, and the tower was inevitably tired at this time. He looked in the direction pointed by the pastor and sighed with relief: “speed up. When you get to the plain, you’ll have a rest.”
The reason why they rest in the daytime is that once they are stationed at night these days, the self defense forces of Legrand will attack at night. They fired wooden arrows at the tent from a distance, and once the whole camp nearly burned down. The Knights of eternity were tortured so much that after that, they had to rest during the day.
Yorkshire is the last castle they have to conquer on this trip.
Once they have occupied Jolin County, they can control the junction of the doma River forward and take care of the follow-up troops backward. They are outposts and footholds. At the same time, tarry got the news that the army organized by Legrand was also marching towards the middle of the country. If they did not capture Jolin County before them and were surrounded by the army, it would not be very good for this small holy army to come to an end.
The time is just right now. The army of rogrand is huge and moving slowly. It will take at least five days to arrive near Jolin county.
By that time, they would have taken advantage of the backhand laid by the director of justice when he occupied Jolin county to capture the land that must be contested by military strategists.
“Full speed ahead!”
Order from the tower.
The knights, tired of marching all night, braced themselves up. The cavalry, with their horses neighing and their armor engraved with the eternal cross, marched into the narrower valley.
The wind blows down from both sides of the valley, and the helmet in the tower feels uncomfortable after wearing it for so long. He also unfastened the hood under the helmet with the lock armour, ready to breathe.
As soon as it was untied, a piece of sawdust was blown to the face of the tower.
He took the sawdust off his face, and just about to throw it away, he suddenly thought of something, and put it in front of his eyes to have a look – it’s not natural peeling bark, it’s fresh artificial cutting debris.
Tali immediately looked up, and he looked around the valleys on both sides. The terrain was so suitable for ambush.
Before entering the valley, they relaxed their vigilance and did not send anyone to scout first, because they knew that the army of Legrand could not arrive here at this time. But now the fresh wood chips gave him an unexpected premonition that the logging was in autumn, or in midsummer. Why didn’t they cut early or late? Someone cut here when they passed through this valley?
On the battlefield, giant trees are usually used to
Get in the way!
Think of this, the tower heart suddenly missed a beat, he stood a hand, shouting: “stop! turn around! Quit
The Knights looked at the tower in surprise, but before he emphasized it twice, a loud rumble came from both sides of the valley.
“No way.”
As soon as he heard the sound, the tower immediately turned back.
Huge trees rolled down from both sides of the valley.
“We are ambushed! My Lord
The pastor, who was leading the way, was shaking all over as if he were dancing. His voice was sharp and his fat face turned white.
Duna slapped back: “shut up! I haven’t asked you if you deliberately ambushed! ”
The dark red flag of Legrand rose in the forest, followed by figures standing up from the bushes on both sides of the valley. They stood high and waited for each other for a long time.
“Defense! Gather
He took out his sword and gave a sharp order. At this time, the valley before and after the eternal knights are constantly rolling huge trees, the other side’s intention is very obvious, is to trap them in the valley.
The sudden attack surprised Tari, but after a brief shock, he quickly calmed down. Roglan’s army can suddenly appear here, and the number of the other side can not be much more than them. As the elite eternal Knights of the Holy See, it is not the first time for them to encounter this kind of encounter in the canyon.
As long as they carry the long bow at the beginning, they will be able to launch a counterattack against the enemy in the valley.
However, out of expectation, the tower did not hear the horse’s hiss, nor the sound of the longbow.
In the downwind, the roglan soldier with his gun aimed his muzzle at the eternal Knights trapped in the canyon. Smoke and sparks rose from the muzzle of their guns at the same time, and solid bullets made of iron and lead shot out in the huge roar.The well-trained horses of the order of the eternal are out of control. They hiss and frantically try to run around.
Because at this moment, the artillery on both sides of the valley roared like thunder and gathered together!
at the same time, the artillery on both sides of the valley roared like thunde
