Chapter 151: I'm going to hit ten
The army can be bought with money, but the army that can be bought with money must not be a very reliable army, which both Gillitt and Lu Xi know very well.
However, as long as these "armies" can come to the city walls and do their part to raise the flag for the defense of Blackman, Killit will be very pleased. After all, the realm of war is not something that can be decided by one or two powerful people, and the walls of Black Man City are so long, even if Gilit and them break through the boundary and become legends, it is impossible to defend it. It's better to have unreliable adventurers and mercenaries to make cameo appearances as cannon fodder.
After more than 10,000 gold coins were scattered, just as Gillitt and Mu had predicted, a large number of adventurers and mercenaries, with their leaders as the grassroots commanders, turned into combat units of varying numbers and began to gather on the walls of the Black Mancheng City, soon exceeding 10,000 people. Of course, such an "army" composed of small teams with completely different numbers and combat power is a nightmare for any commander. Fortunately, the two of them did not have the luxury of giving orders and prohibiting them, and it was already very gratifying to let these "war wild dogs" who seek benefits and avoid disadvantages fight to protect the black man.
After the adventurers and mercenaries gradually took place, Lu Xi and the others also followed the command of the "army" to the city wall.
"Your Excellency Belencaster, you and your men are from the army, and your cooperation and strength are remarkable. Therefore, I would like you to act as a mobile force and support wherever there are signs of a breach of the defensive line. Mu said to Lu Xi.
Lu Xi glanced at Captain Grimmar, who nodded silently.
"It's a very appropriate arrangement. In a situation where teammates are not very trustworthy, it is natural to have a necessary mobile team. Captain Grimar approvingly.
The captain is a person who understands, he knows that he and Lu Xi are both outsiders, and it is simply a foolish behavior to compete with Gillitt and them for command, it is better to obey the other party's orders and sell it, not to mention that the other party's dispatch is very reasonable. In addition, he also knew that it was more stupid to follow the fugitives out of the city at this time, they had the "important person" Obert who was preparing to defect, and once he left the city, the undead might send a large number of undead knights and even bone dragons to chase after him. In that case, in the wilderness, the own side that lacks the ability to maneuver at high speed will inevitably end in total destruction.
Mu looked at Lu Xi and Grima, who were very cooperative with his work, and said, "Except for me in the middle of the command." The eldest lady, Mr. Killitt, as well as Mr. Hughes, Mr. Donte, and Mr. Kraken, can also be counted as mobile forces. ”
"It seems that Mr. Kirlett and Miss Asuna trust Mr. Mu very much, and they have completely handed over the command to you." Lu Xi said with a smile.
"So I had to do my best to live up to their trust." Mu's expression still didn't see any change, and he nodded to Lu Xi indifferently.
"However, seeing that you are so familiar with the deployment of troops and the assignment just now, Gillitt and they have indeed made a very appropriate choice." Lu Xi looked deeply at the black-bellied scholar's face: "You must have had a lot of experience in this area before, right?" ”
It's a pity that Lu Xi didn't see the relaxation and vacillation in the other party's pupils, Mu just sighed noncommittally and said slowly: "Maybe." However, it has nothing to do with today's events, does it? ”
"Of course not, I'm just a little curious." Lu Xi spread out his hand.
The black belly is called a beast, depending on how long you pretend to be.
As the actual commander, Mu actually had a lot to do, and after explaining the matter on Lu Xi's side, he walked towards the right city wall with a quick movement. There, under the guidance of several mercenaries, they actually set up a bed crossbow in a similar way.
"I'm sure that Mr. Mu must have been born in the military, and he definitely has experience commanding large troops." Captain Grimmar said to Lu Xi.
"Oh, how so?" Lu Xi knew that the other party was a silver 10th order master, but he didn't know that the other party would be a soldier, so this temperament didn't fit well.
"To be able to organize the adventurers and mercenaries with their own ghosts into such a short period of time definitely requires a lot of actual combat experience, and it is very impossible to have such an orderly scheduling ability. There is still genius in magic and martial arts, but it is absolutely impossible to command. ”
"I've heard of people who can be made marshals at the age of 20."
Grimar said with a smile: "It is true that people who can become famous generals at a young age are still alive, but this kind of person often enters the battlefield at a young age to accumulate actual combat experience, coupled with talent and hard work, so he grows up extremely fast. However, people who are born to fight are certainly not zài. ”
If you think about it carefully, whether it is the tsundere middle two blonde overlord who does not have zài, or the tsundere middle two hussar general who has zài, they all entered the battlefield in their teens and fought to the death, so that they could be invincible at the age of twenty.
Looking at it like this, the history of this black-bellied beast should also be very magnificent, right?
At this time, a mercenary standing guard on the tower let out a loud roar: "The undead are coming!" ”
The sentries could tell from the sentries the unprofessionalism of the rabble in the city. This bear child seemed to be more suitable for being a tenor than a mercenary, and the extremely panicked emotion quickly spread to the surroundings through his high-pitched voice, making the defenders of the city who were resting in groups of three or five tense all nervous.
Lu Xi and Grimmar glanced at each other, and at the same time both sighed helplessly. What can be done about a group of unprofessional pig teams? Killit and Asuna put the command on Mu, apparently to let the professionals show their professional abilities, but they are not suspected of throwing burdens.
Is it really okay to fight alongside this group of guys? While struggling with this problem, Lu Xi reluctantly climbed the city wall. After all, it is said that the enemy is coming......
However, even if this enemy is on the rise, what is the problem?
A very strange scene that caught Lu Xi's eyes.
Dressed in jet-black armor and carrying runic swords or decapitating broadswords, the necromantic knights rode their skeletal horses and stopped at twice the distance from their bed crossbows, and kept a constant distance from the dense army of undead behind them. These necromantic knights were only about forty or fifty horsemen, standing between the Black Man City and the army, brushing their lives unscrupulously.
It was too far away for Lu Xi to use the probing technique to observe the other party, but he also knew that the Necromantic Knight could only be produced among the strong, and they all retained their memories and combat experience in life. And when they accept the magic of the undead lords and come back to life, their stiff and cold bodies are filled with majestic death magic, and with a set of martial arts that match these magic powers, their combat effectiveness is often better than before they were alive.
The average strength should be at least above the Silver High Rank.
But so what? A strong man of forty or fifty horsemen may be the last straw that crushes the camel on the battlefield, but if there are not thousands of cannon fodder as heavy objects, straw is only straw after all, even if it is a group of powerful straws that look murderous and unusually fierce.
Hey, you group of undead, are you really ready for 1v5, no, you can't do it in one ride? It's too confusing, isn't it? Even if it's such a heavy taste, I haven't heard of putting the protagonist's halo on a group of self-righteous rich and handsome, but in fact, it is a group of pseudo-rich and handsome people with iron cans and bone shelves.
Lu Xi looked at these necromantic knights with a uncertain expression, and asked Grimmar, "How many thunderstorm javelins do you still have?" ”
"On average, each person has about two." The captain said, "But why do you ask?" ”
"I just realized a problem, from the beginning to the end, the attacking are some low-level troops of the undead legion, if things like the necromantic knight or even the bone dragon are dispatched, we really don't have many means to deal effective damage to them."
"That's a real problem." Grimmar nodded, but then said, "However, no matter which force it is, the strength is not so easy to cultivate. If you venture into it when the battle situation is unknown, and you end up drowning in a group of small people in a daze, you can really laugh and be generous. ”
"I understand that, so I don't understand what those guys are trying to do with all the swaggering there." Lu Xi pointed to the Necromantic Knight in the distance, "However, we can't base our assumptions on the premise that the enemy is a fool, since we can't figure it out, it means that they must be brewing some plans that we can't guess." ”
"Well, what you're saying is indeed what you say." Captain Grimmar's face sank, and he suddenly looked a little more solemn.
"By the way, Captain, in addition to the Thunderstorm Javelin, do we have any super big things like a flaming crossbow or a magic crystal cannon?"
The captain suddenly showed a wry smile: "These things are all siege magic weapons equipped by the Federation fleet and the Praetorian Guard, how can we bring them with us?" You can't have a dimensional bag in your hands, right? ”
"Who knows? Maybe you'll break it up and put it together now. ”
"Even if we bring parts, that kind of magic weapon, only the magician who knows how to assemble and cāo the alchemy of Jīng knows how to assemble it, right?"
"Well, it's only a thunderstorm javelin to make it up." Lu Xi sighed a little helplessly, "In short, we must be mentally prepared, well, we must also have the worst prepared." ”
"What's the worst?"
"For example, the city gate is lost or something......" Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders to Captain Grimmar, half-jokingly, half-seriously.
Before he could finish speaking, the enemy attack finally began.
It wasn't like before, tens of thousands of undead rushed over in black, but the forty or fifty necromantic knights instigated the skeleton war horses under their crotches, stepped through the rotten hooves, and began to stride forward.
The knights quickly progressed from advancing to running, and then to the final charge. For the Necro Knights, whether they are facing a group of old and weak women and children or a wall of thousands of enemies, they will not hesitate to attack once they receive an order. For the undead who have died, there may not be any fear of dying in battle in their hearts. Necromantic magic raced through the stiff body, and the flames of power enveloped both the knight and the horse, as if the entire cavalry had turned into a roaring and boiling ghostly fire.
They soon rushed into the shè path of the arrows, and the yīn cold touch brought by the ghost fire came to their faces from hundreds of meters away, making Lu Xi's face cold and painful.
They really seem to be ready to fight ten! (To be continued.)
