Bloodline Lord of War - Chapter 178

  Chapter 178 Meeting the Dead on the Battlefield

  A round of orange-yellow morning sun slowly climbed into the sky, and the warm sunshine gradually dispelled the bursts of cold air that permeated the wasteland. Although it has entered late autumn, the wasteland is still lush with greenery. The weeds growing here are almost evergreen all the year round. Just like this barren land, it has incredible vitality.

A small and cute black-tailed red fox came out of the grass. It was about the size of a domestic dachshund. It stood on a raised bump with two dark eyes looking into the distance. Confuse.

  In the sight of the black-tailed red fox, first a human rode a horse and ran quickly under the dirt bag, and then another group of hobgoblins rode horses “rumbling”.

They had just run not far, when a row of arrows suddenly shot out from the nearby grass, and shot at the hobgoblin cavalry running behind, immediately several hobgoblin cavalry were hit by arrows and fell off the galloping horses .

  The black-tailed red fox trembled from fright, and hurriedly turned around and slid into its lair, and could not come out even after being killed.

   Immediately afterwards, shouts of killing were heard from all around, and human heads appeared like gophers, emerging from the wild grass half a person’s height, and there were about fifty people.

   “Attack! Kill them all!”

  Robin heard a familiar voice shouting. He turned his head on horseback and saw a figure he was very familiar with among the group of human soldiers.

  The man was tall and tall, wearing a silver full-body armor. The most conspicuous thing was his fiery red hair, but the hair was pitifully sparse, and he was about to go bald.

   Robin immediately showed a surprised expression, it was Baron Lauren!

These coalition soldiers buried the tripping rope in the grass. After Baron Lauren gave the command to attack, several soldiers who had prepared earlier grabbed one end of the tripping rope, pulled up the tripping rope suddenly, and rushed to the ground. The few hobgoblin cavalry in front were tripped immediately, and all the riders flew off their horses.

   There were still many soldiers holding crossbows in their hands. They poked their heads out of the grass, and immediately shot the crossbow arrows in their hands at the hobgoblin cavalry.

  The crossbow produced by the empire was amazingly powerful, and could easily penetrate the light armor of these hobgoblins. Immediately, several hobgoblins were hit by arrows and fell off their horses.

  After releasing a wave of crossbow arrows, the coalition soldiers immediately dropped their crossbows, picked up their spears from the ground, or pulled out their long swords from their waists, and rushed towards the hobgoblin cavalry, and the two sides immediately began hand-to-hand combat.

  Robin didn’t expect that there was a human army ambushing here, and it was Baron Lauren’s army. After the initial surprise, he immediately turned his horse’s head and killed it back.

  Robin rode his horse into the chaotic battlefield, first bumped a blood hobgoblin who had fallen off his horse, and then rushed to another hobgoblin cavalry. The hobgoblin cavalry was fighting two human spearmen, and didn’t realize the danger from behind. Robin swung the magic sword with one hand and chopped off the opponent’s head from behind.

  These subordinates of Baron Lauren are the elite soldiers of the coalition forces. They cooperate with each other very tacitly. At least two of them can deal with a blood hobgoblin. They had twice as many troops as the hobgoblin cavalry, and they attacked suddenly, occupying the initiative on the battlefield at once.

As the saying goes, steel can be made by tempering a hundred times. These coalition soldiers have already gained experience in killing blood warriors. Some of them swung up ropes, like lassoes, and used the ropes to trap the hobgoblin on the horse’s back. Pull up and down. Then the spearman rushed forward immediately, and stabbed the hobgoblin’s head until it smashed the hobgoblin’s head.

There are also coalition soldiers with long-handled swords in their hands, specially chopping the hobgoblin cavalry’s horse legs. Those sharp long-handled swords cut on the horse’s legs like cutting sausages. The horse’s legs were cut in two, and the horses Immediately let out a painful roar, rolled in the grass, and even threw the blood hobgoblin on his back away.

   Baron Lauren himself also took the lead. He held a two-handed sword with a sharp white grudge on the blade, and he held back three blood hobgoblins by himself.

  While the coalition soldiers were fighting fiercely, Robin rode his horse and charged back and forth on the battlefield, rushing in from one end of the battlefield and then rushing out from the other end. Every time he crossed the battlefield, he would cut down at least two blood hobgoblins.

   Within a short time, twenty hobgoblin cavalry were killed. The last remaining hobgoblin cavalry wanted to run back to report the news, but was caught up by Robin on horseback, and he split his head with a sword.

Robin ran back on a horse, and Baron Lauren handed the two-handed sword to the subordinates beside him, and then quickly went up to him, his rough face was full of joy: “Lord Robin, it’s so kind! ,you are still alive!”

  Robin rode up to Baron Lauren, got off his horse, and couldn’t help showing a happy smile. After this series of bad things, seeing the blood-stained black face of Baron Lauren, Robin immediately felt very kind.

   “Nice to see you again, Baron Lauren.”

  The two gave each other a military salute, and Robin looked behind Baron Lauren, where the coalition soldiers were cleaning the battlefield.

   “Baron Lauren, why are you here? Didn’t you retreat with the large army?” Robin asked suspiciously.

   Baron Lauren turned his head and looked around cautiously, and said: “This is not a place to talk, there may be blood troops nearby, let’s evacuate first.”

   After talking to Robin, Lauren turned around and shouted at the Rock City soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield: “Hurry up, pick up useful things, and don’t want the rest!”

  Under the urging of Baron Lauren, the soldiers of Rock City quickly finished cleaning the battlefield, and then they continued to move south.

   On the vast wasteland, Robin and his team lined up in two queues, swimming in the boundless sea of ​​grass like a long black snake.

  Although the ambush battle was generally fought smoothly, some Rock City soldiers were injured. Robin gave up his horse and let one of the soldiers with a broken leg ride on it.

  The soldier was riding on horseback, looking a little fearful, his young face was full of gratitude, and he kept thanking Robin.

  Robin waved his hand indifferently: “You’re welcome, it’s not a big deal.”

   “Lord Baron, my name is Abal. I will never forget your kindness, and I will definitely repay you in the future.” The young soldier said solemnly, with a serious expression on his face.

  Robin smiled gently, and replied: “I have nothing to ask you to repay, young man, now your task is to live well, get out of this **** grassland, and then think about other things.”

   They walked for six or seven miles before finally stopping behind a leeward mound.

   “Everyone has worked hard, let’s rest where we are.” Baron Lauren ordered.

  The soldiers were already exhausted, and with the permission of Baron Lauren, they immediately sat down on the grass.

   “Hassell, Rubia, you two are in charge of guarding, go to the top of the mound, where you can see farther.” Lauren turned around and ordered the two personal guards behind him.

   “Yes, my lord!”

  Though the two guards were also very tired, they didn’t complain, and immediately ran up the mound in three steps and two steps, and took up the task of guarding.

  Robin also found an open space to sit down. Baron Lauren walked towards him, sat down next to Robin, and then untied a black leather water bag from his waist and handed it to Robin.

   “Take a sip, Baron Robin.”

  Robin is also welcome, he lost his water bladder in the previous battle, and his throat seemed to be smoking. Then he took the water bag, pulled out the cork, raised his neck and took a sip.

  As if a line of fire flowed down his throat and into his stomach, Robin opened his eyes wide and turned to look at Baron Lauren beside him in surprise.

   “Is this rye wine?”

  Lauren chuckled slyly, showing a row of white teeth: “Hold down, I gave an order that drinking is absolutely prohibited during the battle, and if caught, you will be given ten lashes.”

  Robin didn’t expect that Baron Lauren, who always showed a serious image, would have such a side. He smiled knowingly, returned a look of “I understand”, and raised his neck and took two more gulps.

   “Hey, save some for me.” Seeing that Robin was drinking happily, Lauren yelled hurriedly, worried that Robin would drink it all up in one gulp.

  Robin drank to his heart’s content, wiped his mouth, and returned the water bag to Baron Lauren with more than enough satisfaction.

  Actually, Robin doesn’t particularly like drinking. He can drink, but he doesn’t like drinking. However, having just experienced a **** escape and fight, at this moment, nothing can make Robin feel better than a sip of strong wine.

  The hot rye wine was poured into the stomach, as if a hot fire was ignited in the stomach. To be honest, this feeling is not good, but it can make Robin feel more alive that he is still alive.

   Baron Lauren also took two sips of rye wine, and then asked first, “Tell me what’s going on? Baron Robin, why are you here alone? Where’s your army?”

  Robin originally wanted to ask Baron Lauren about the situation of the Raging Waves Corps, but when Lauren asked, his heart immediately turned cold. It was obvious that Baron Lauren didn’t know where the officer of the Raging Waves was.

“I led my soldiers to attack the city wall of the Blood King City. We knocked down that part of the city wall and defended it firmly. But something happened later. I fell off the city wall and fell into the inside of the Blood King City. Then, my subordinate Simon told me that a blood army appeared outside the city, and then the coalition forces sounded the horn to retreat.

“I asked my people to withdraw first, and I myself became an outcast. When I finally climbed the wall of the Blood King City again, the battle outside is over, and the coalition forces are gone, so I can only Walking south alone, he was hunted down by the blood army along the way.”

  Robin sat on the grass and slowly told what happened to him. The black armor on his body was still dripping with blood, and the morning sun shone on him, and he finally felt a bit of warmth.

   “Baron Lauren, I want to thank you for helping me.” Robin looked at Lauren and thanked him with a serious expression.

Lauren was very surprised after hearing Robin’s situation, and exclaimed in disbelief: “God of the Holy Light, you were able to escape from the Blood King City alone. You have been blessed by the gods. Robin, your Good luck.”

  Robin smiled: “I don’t know if I have been blessed by the gods, but I am really grateful for this great sword I picked up. It has helped me a lot.”

  At this time, Baron Lauren noticed the magic sword beside Robin. He recognized it immediately after just one glance, and said in surprise, “Isn’t this Baron Joseph’s weapon?”

“Oh, it seems that I am right. I picked it up from the battlefield, and now it belongs to me.” Robin said, took out a rag from his pocket, and wiped the magic sword carefully. blade.

   “That **** Joseph threw all his weapons on the battlefield, hahaha…” Baron Lauren gloated and laughed. He and Baron Joseph have never been in harmony.

   “Tell me about you, Lauren, why did you appear here? I thought the coalition forces had already retreated.” Robin then asked curiously.

   “I voluntarily stayed in the queen.” Baron Lauren replied.

  After hearing this, Robin couldn’t help admiring Lauren’s courage and sense of responsibility.

The queen said it nicely, but in fact, many times it was an errand to die, especially after a big defeat like this time, the troops in the rear were basically abandoned, just like a gecko had to cut off its tail in order to escape, in order to cover The main force retreated and had to abandon the pawns to protect the car.

  Baron Lauren had a proud expression on his rough face. He thought it was a very honorable thing, sacrificing the ego for the sake of the overall situation, which is exactly what a brave and fearless knight should do.

   “The situation at that time was really a mess. Of course, it is not much better now. The blood army suddenly appeared from behind the coalition army, and the entire legion suddenly became a mess. In a panic, Earl Goode could only blow the horn to retreat.”

   “In order to cover the retreat of the main force, someone must stay, so I stood up, and Earl Goode gave me another 2,000 people, plus my own troops, a total of 3,000 people stayed behind.”

   Speaking of this, Baron Lauren looked at the coalition soldiers around him, and the proud light on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by deep sadness and self-blame

“A lot of people died, the enemy’s offensive was too fierce, and those **** blood monsters were hard to kill. We didn’t buy much time for the main force, and we were defeated and dispersed later, I There are only a few people left under him.”

   Baron Lauren lowered his head, his expression became depressed. He thought that he failed to complete the task well, and he was a failed commander.

Robin could understand his feelings, raised his hand and patted Baron Lauren’s shoulder vigorously, and comforted: “It’s not your fault, nor is it your fault, in that case, you have done a good job. “
