Bloodline Lord of War - Chapter 187

  Chapter 187 Catch these mice

  After the alarm bell rang, within a short while, all the wolf man guards climbed onto the wall of the fortress. There were only less than twenty wolf man guards. They shot a few arrows at Hassel and Rubia outside the city wall, but they were not very accurate.

  Two scout cavalry circled under the fortress wall, and turned back unharmed. They ran back and forth quickly in the grass, and the gnolls on the wall couldn’t shoot them at all.

  Robin stood in the grass on the high ground, put a brim on his eyebrows with the palm of his hand, and looked at the blood fortress on the opposite side. The situation was similar to what he had guessed, the defense force inside the fortress was extremely empty.

  In Robin’s opinion, it’s unbelievable that there are less than twenty defenders in such a large fortress. Looking at the situation, although the Blood Race army has been victorious in successive battles, in fact, their strength on the front line is also very tight, otherwise it would be impossible to leave only such a small number of defenders behind.

   Baron Lauren climbed up to the high ground from behind, with a big sword in his hand, he couldn’t wait to take the lead in the charge.

   “How is it? Can you fight?” He asked impatiently.

  Robin turned around and gave him a positive look: “I can fight.”

   Lauren’s rough face immediately showed a fierce smile: “Then let’s go!”

Under the high ground, the coalition soldiers have already lined up for battle. In addition to a few wounded, there are also two scout cavalry who seduce the enemy in front. The remaining forty soldiers formed an infantry phalanx, with spearmen in front , the crossbowman is behind, although there are not many people, but although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

   “Soldiers, charge!”

   Baron Lauren swung his sword and roared. At the same time as he gave the order, Robin had already run down the high ground with the magic sword in hand, and launched a sprint towards the blood fortress ahead.

   Seeing a group of human infantry emerging from behind the high ground in the distance, the gnoll guards on the city wall immediately let out a series of yells, and then four gnolls ran to the gate of the blood fortress, trying to close the gate.

The two wooden gates of the fortress are nearly three meters high. Four gnolls are in groups of two, each pushing the gate on one side. With the sound of “squeaky” bearing rotation, the two gates are slowly closed towards the middle .

Seeing that the enemy was about to close the gate, two cavalrymen, Hassel and Rubia, rushed over against the rain of arrows shot by the jackals. When the gate was half closed, they rode into the gate of the fortress on their horses, and pushed The four gnolls at the door knocked and flew out.

   Hunter Rubia swung his saber and chopped off the head of a jackal. Hassel held a lance in his hand, and lifted another jackal into the air.

   Immediately afterwards, Robin and Lauren’s follow-up troops arrived immediately. The soldiers roared and rushed into the blood fortress from the gate.

   There are many green-skinned goblins in the fortress. When they saw the human soldiers rushing in, they ran away in fright. A few daring goblins wanted to go up and make gestures with the coalition soldiers. After being stabbed to death by the spearmen, the remaining goblins finally exhausted their last bit of courage, like a group of cowardly green-skinned mice , running around in the fort in a panic.

  Robin suddenly felt that the reason why the goblins were so cowardly might be because the brave goblins simply couldn’t survive in the wasteland. Those brave goblins all died in battle, and only the cowardly goblins survived. After passing down from generation to generation, the goblins became more and more cowardly and useless.

   It didn’t take too long to capture the blood fortress. There were only a dozen blood gnolls resolutely resisting in the fortress. Their combat effectiveness was very strong, but it was a pity that their strength was too small, and they were quickly wiped out one by one by the coalition soldiers.

  As for those green-skinned goblins, although they have a large number, their combat effectiveness is almost negligible.

  These green-skinned goblins are different from hobgoblins and gnolls. They have not been soaked in original blood.

  Perhaps even the Duke of Blood thinks goblins are useless, and turning them into blood warriors is a shameful waste of resources.

   When the coalition soldiers were fighting the Gnolls, the group of green-skinned goblins dispersed in a rush, a few hid in the fortress, and more escaped from the fortress, and disappeared in the boundless grass outside in a short while.

   As for these ugly and useless goblins, the coalition soldiers didn’t bother to chase them down and ran away.

  After the battle, Robin climbed up the walls of the fortress, came to the flagpole with the Duke of Blood’s flag hanging, and cut off the flagpole with a sword. The banner of the Duke of Blood fell down and landed on the city wall.

   Baron Lauren also climbed up the city wall, ran to the flag to vent his anger, and stepped on it hard, leaving several large footprints on the flag.

   “First search for some food, drink, and useful things in the fortress. Then, set a fire and burn this ghost place, and don’t leave anything for the blood race!”

   After venting his anger, Baron Lauren turned around and ordered Rubia behind him.

  Rubia stood on the stone steps of the city wall with a stubble on his face, and replied loudly: “Yes, Lord Baron.” Then, he turned around and ran down the city wall.

   “Hurry up, everyone, hurry up, we can’t stay here for long.” Lauren stood on the edge of the city wall and shouted loudly at the coalition soldiers under the city wall.

This blood fort was once used as a warehouse by the coalition forces. At this time, in the large open space in the center of the fortress, there are still many supplies of the coalition forces, such as military rations, weapons and armor, ballistas and so on. Some materials are still stored in carriages on, without even having time to unload the car.

  The blood army should be eager to pursue the coalition forces, so they didn’t have time to deal with these military supplies.

Of course, these things cannot be left for the Blood Race army. The coalition soldiers quickly found several large trucks of kerosene. Under the instruction of Baron Lauren, the soldiers poured the kerosene into every corner of the Blood Race Fortress. The fire burned the fort to ashes.

Robin and Abal each hold a jar of kerosene. Robin walks in front, and Abal limpingly follows. The two arrive at the mountain of corpses outside the city gate, and they want to destroy the mountain of corpses. They were burned together.

  When I came to the mountain of corpses, the strong smell of blood could almost stun people. The corpses of human soldiers were piled up randomly, and many corpses still had their eyes wide open, with expressions of fear on their faces.

  Looking at the corpses of his compatriots, Abal’s face was full of sadness. Robin turned to look at him, and found that this empathetic young man had red eyes and seemed about to cry.

Although there are still many corpses of human soldiers in the wilderness that have not been gathered together, Robin and the others have limited manpower, so they can only burn this mountain of corpses that have been piled up. As for the other scattered human corpses, there is no other way. Enough time to clean the battlefield.

  The color of kerosene is light yellow, and it has a pungent smell, which smells almost like gasoline.

  Robin poured oil on the mountain of corpses, feeling very heavy. Suddenly, he found a familiar figure in the mountain of corpses, it was Baron Kyle who guarded the fort with him before.

  Robin did not expect that he would die here. Baron Kyle is a warehouse officer, not a member of the first-line army. Robin thought he would survive.

Kyle’s obese body was pressed between a pile of corpses, only half of his pale and fat face was exposed. He closed his eyes, and there was no pain on his face, because his body was pressed, and Robin couldn’t see where he was fatally injured. hurt.

  Robin still remembers that Baron Kyle is a good old man who always smiles. In addition, he also has a little rheumatism, and his knees hurt when it is cloudy and rainy.

   Robin stared at Baron Kyle’s pale, fat face for a while, and couldn’t help feeling sorry in his heart. He felt that Baron Kyle was a good man and shouldn’t die in this barren wilderness.

  He sighed, lifted the black clay pot, and poured fire oil on Baron Kyle’s face.

   “May you enjoy peace in the embrace of the Holy Light.” Robin remembered that Baron Kyle also believed in the Church of the Holy Light, so he learned to read a eulogy.

After pouring all the kerosene in the clay pot on the mountain of corpses, Robin took out a pair of flints from his arms, lit a torch wrapped in cloth strips, and walked around the mountain of corpses with the torch, A ring of flames was lit around the mountain of corpses.

  Fire oil is the best combustion accelerant, and after a while, the entire mountain of corpses is on fire. In the flames, the human corpse was slowly burned and distorted, and the muscles were slowly melted by the fire, making a “sizzling” sound.

   Robin and Abal stood beside the mountain of burning corpses, and the orange fire illuminated their gloomy faces.

  ”Brave warriors, may the Holy Light guide you on your way home, and enjoy eternal peace in the kingdom of heaven.” Abal closed his eyes, fisted his chest, and prayed softly for these soldiers who died in battle.

  Robin turned his head and saw that the inside of the Blood Fortress was also on fire. It must be that Baron Lauren also started to set fire.

   Immediately afterwards, Baron Lauren led all the soldiers out of the gate of the fortress. He said to Robin, “The fire is also set off, let’s retreat.”

  So, Robin and the others left the blood fortress and continued to move south.

   After walking a few hundred meters, Robin suddenly stopped in the team. He turned his head and took a last look at the blood fortress in the distance.

  The raging fire has completely swallowed the blood fortress, and the flames have dyed the blue sky red. In the fire, the outline of the fort gradually became blurred.

  Robin felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. This fortress was brought down by him. His attack on the Blood King City started and ended from this fortress.

  The coalition soldiers lined up in two rows and walked on the boundless wasteland. Baron Lauren walked at the front of the team, holding a military map in his hand, like the head of a flock of geese, controlling the direction of travel for the troops.

  Next, Robin and the others aim to go home.

  …

  【Blood King City】

This is a very spacious bathroom, about the size of a basketball court. The floor is covered with smooth tiles, and the walls are carved with exquisite animal reliefs. The bathroom is steaming with hot mist, making it hard to see the whole room. An overview of the bathroom.

  In the empire, such luxurious large bathrooms are very common in the castles of the great nobles. However, the difference in this bathroom is that instead of warm bath soup, there is scarlet blood in the bath!

  At this time, a graceful figure was soaking in the blood bath, and she was Blood Duke Selena.

  Selena looked only in her early twenties, she was beautiful, with long golden hair hanging down to her waist, her skin was as fair as milk, and her figure was even more uneven.

   This is a woman who is enough to drive countless men crazy.

  But at this moment, this woman is soaking in a pool full of blood, her eyes are slightly closed, and her beautiful face is full of expressions of enjoyment.

  Suddenly, a burst of footsteps broke the peace, and another woman walked into the bathroom.

The person who came was Bill, Selena’s servant. She had a pale face, short brown hair, and exquisite facial features. Although she could be called a beauty, her beauty was instantly outshone in front of Selena. . Her age looks to be in her thirties, if she just looks at her appearance, she seems to be older than Serina.

  Bill was dressed in black, walked quickly to the front of the bath, and knelt down on one knee respectfully.

   “Master.” She said softly.

  Selena showed a slight displeasure on her face, as if she didn’t like being disturbed. She still squinted her eyes halfway, her whole body was soaked in blood, only a pair of white shoulders were exposed.

   “Bill, tell me, what is it?”

   “Master, I just received a report that our Leaving Castle was burned down by humans.” Bill lowered his head, with no expression on his frosty face.

   “And then?” Selena didn’t seem to care at all, and continued to ask lazily.

   “This is done by a small human army. They shouldn’t have gone far. I think we should chase them down and destroy them.” Bill continued to speak slowly.

“Since this is the case, let Sabri do it. That guy didn’t wipe his **** clean, and he was in a hurry to chase after the human alliance. That’s why this happened. You go tell Sabri and let him catch these beggars. Nasty rat.”

  Selena finally opened her eyes slowly. She has a pair of very beautiful golden eyes. There is a golden light flowing in those eyes, which seems to be able to penetrate everything.

   “Okay, master, I understand, I will immediately notify Sabri and let him come back immediately.”

   “This kind of mistake has occurred, and the commander of the front army, let Sabri stop doing it. Bill, go and take his place. I know you have always had this thought, and now, I will grant you this wish.”

  Selena looked at Bill, with a coquettish smile on the corner of her mouth. She looked at Bill with penetrating eyes, as if she could see through Bill’s heart.

  The destruction of Li Castle Fortress is not a small matter, but it is actually not a big deal. Bill and Sabri have always been at odds. She came here to report this matter at this time, obviously with ulterior motives.

  Bill has been coveting the position of the commander of the Blood Legion. Selina feels that Sabri has already established enough military achievements, and it is time to give up the position to others.

  Bill listened, a smile finally appeared on his cold face, and a smug expression appeared in those black eyes.

  She said: “Please rest assured, master, I will not let you down. I will lead the blood race army forward until all human lords are wiped out. The glory belongs to our blood race.”
