"The enemy army that arrived has 1,114 wolf cavalry and 537 centaur rangers, plus the wolf cavalry that was repelled by Lord Lu Xi just now, there are still 348 people, a total of 1,999 enemies." Liszt's contract beast, a phantom beast named "Rafi", was perched on Liszt's raised arm, reporting in a serious tone in addition to the precise number.

"Well, that's a pretty delicate number, isn't it? I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if it's the deep malice that the will of the great universe has given to my generation! Lu Xi didn't doubt the number itself, the last time he came to Black Man City to arrest people, he had already seen the ability of this phantom beast that looked like a harrier eagle but could speak human words. It only takes one week to hover at high altitude to be able to accurately count four-digit enemies, and its eyesight and information processing capabilities are comparable to those of reconnaissance satellites, which is the special ability of this spirit bird called the Nebula Harrier. Of course, the world is relatively fair, and while it has a high IQ and a pair of dynamic visions comparable to satellites, it lacks the combat power that the phantom beasts of the heterotopic plane should have.

"At least half of the enemies who were driven away by the senior sister were wounded, right? It's good that these people can play half of their combat power now. Liszt said.

"A wise commander will not count on the weakness of the enemy, but he will be able to exert all his strength." Lu Xilang said: "Then, report down, the whole army is ready to fight." ”

The troops that Lu Xi could command were only about two flag regiments, and the total number was just over a thousand, all of which were brought by Liszt to meet the defenders of the North City Gate. Like most of Blackman's defenders, these troops lacked the necessary training and fighting spirit to rely on their combat effectiveness.

In this whole city. The only "descendant troops" that Lu Xi trusted were the more than 600 people he had just brought out from the Black Forest. Let's be honest. The combat effectiveness of these guys is also very much to look forward to, although they still haven't seen much blood in the specimen troops and battleship sailors a few months ago. But after such a long period of high-intensity breakthrough battle, it is no longer Wuxia Ameng. It's not just how much strength has increased on the surface under the experience bonus of Lu Xi's system golden thigh aura, but also the spiritual growth is what people really look forward to. What's more, Lu Xi, as their savior, is full of prestige and authority in the minds of these people, and only such an army can be commanded like an arm.

However, these people had just escaped from the tense environment where their future was uncertain and their lives were unknown, and even Lu Xi was embarrassed to pull them out to fight this tough battle immediately. Of course. Even if they had to be dispatched, it would take a while to organize, and by the time they arrived, even the daylily was cold.

Nor can you count on the rest of the city's troops. Since they can watch the slaughter of their own refugees under the orders of the commander, they can also sit back and watch the friendly forces fall into the embarrassing situation of being outnumbered by the commander. This may be because Lu Xi is too extreme, and subconsciously never expected the sense of responsibility and character of his colleagues, but in any case, at least at this time, he must rely on this rabble of thousands or so. Defend nearly twice as many orcs, wolves, cavalry, and centaurs as he is. Well, if you count the wolves, maybe more than three times.

"Well, perhaps...... There are still a number of 'descendant troops' in the city. A thought suddenly turned in Lu Xi's heart. But then he shrugged and smiled: "Even so, you can't expect them to help now, right?" ”

There was not much time left for Lu Xi to send troops to set up the formation, and his subordinates also "temporarily" lacked effective grassroots officers as helpers. Thinking of this, he simply released Arnold, Alexander, and Lydia. It is impossible for these astral spirits to help themselves command the soldiers. But their stylish and tough appearance at that time, coupled with their own superior combat effectiveness. In some way, it can also motivate the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

"Anyway, let's go and see! Isn't it a thousand (9) (9) (9) miscellaneous soldiers? Could it be that it is more difficult to deal with than the little fresh meat of an Orodal priest? Lu Xi carried the World Tree Scepter and raised the Sword of the Dawn Knight high, probably thinking that this pose was the most heroic. He squinted slightly, looking at the orc wolf cavalry who were getting closer and closer to him on the other side, his ears were filled with the ugly and terrifying roar of the wolf, but the blood in his heart was like boiling lava, making his whole body burn. It's so burning that I can't even get out.

"If it's a man, you have to be just positive! Come on! ”

Theoretically, our protagonist has never been a hot-blooded hero. He may be a little kind, a little chivalrous, and a little compassionate, but in essence, he is still an otaku who is troublesome and keen to guard his own one-third of an acre and live a peaceful daily life. The refugees crowded together under the city are of course very pitiful, if it were normal times, Lu Xi would have helped them, but in any case, he could not put himself and his trusted friends in danger for these strangers. From this point of view, Lu Xi's sense of social responsibility may be far less than that of his cute Lori disciple.

The previous owner of the Sword of the Dawn Knight was a true hero, but this one is destined to be far from the title of hero...... At least that's the case in the festival.

However, such a person who is full of character flaws still has to go further and further on the road of no return like a hero. Because there is the will of the great universe to give the existence of the system.

(System: The number of refugees seeking protection under the Black Castle has exceeded 5,000, triggering the emergency title mission "My Territory, My Decision".) ）

By the way, what is that "emergency title mission"? We haven't heard of it in a long time together, obviously you thought about it temporarily, right? Answer me head-on, hey?

(Mission Description: As the legendary "Goddess of Blackman", the host is also rightfully regarded by the natives of Blackman City as the guardian of this ancient civilization full of glorious past, and the amusing Federation troops in the city are only temporary sojourners of the city, but the soul and spirit of the host have become one with the history of this ancient city.) Then, as the rightful owner of Black Manga City, when unarmed refugees from hunger and cold come here to ask for help. If they can't really protect them, isn't it the incompetence of their master? ）

Didn't you impose that inexplicable "black manga goddess" on my head? Why did I have to merge with this ruined city that was as cold as a tomb, hey? Can I eat watermelon in this city without giving money? Will someone automatically offer me a free villa, hey? Or do you want to give me a free cute paper bodyguard? A ...... like Lai Mei Saying. Who is Sister Lai?

(Mission victory conditions: 1. Repel or completely annihilate the pursuing orc pursuers.) 2. All the refugees entered the city safely. ）

(Mission failure condition: Refugee casualty rate of more than 40 percent.) ）

(Rewards for victory in the mission: 1. The title "Goddess of Black Manga" is upgraded to "The Guardian Goddess of Black Man City.") 2. Experience 30000 and attribute points 20. Skill point 5. 3. Earn additional rewards based on mission completion. ）

"There is no feeling of upgrading at all, or adding a prefix but there is a feeling of frustration! Is this really a reward? ”

(Penalty for mission failure: Gain the talent "smashed field.") In all regions where the host's opinion is 2 or higher, the combat power is reduced by 25%. ）

Well, do the math, what are the places where we have a favorability of more than 2 now. Sister Tido and Nicole's Nolda, Karin's Oakland, Artoria's Virgia, the Federation, and the Dwarves. And all the goddess of life believers...... Your sister's! Oh no, I mean, come on, greenskins riding dogs, come and fight with me!

If that's really all there is to it, in the face of so many orcs and centaur charges, Lu Xi really doesn't have much confidence. He was confident that he would save his life, but he had little confidence in the rabble of his men who had temporarily brought in the strong men, and faced the onslaught of wolf cavalry and centaur heavy cavalry. I don't know if I can hold up a few rounds of charges. Fortunately, golden thighs are golden thighs, at least knowing when to give sweet dates is the most appropriate.

(System: For the first time, the host's command will lead more than 1,000 troops, unlocking war skills.) Please choose one of the following skills: 1. Solid as a mountain. 2. Flame Attack. ）

(Skill description: 1. Majestic Guardian Level 1, +5% combat effectiveness when defending the troops under your command.) Morale +1. 2. Flame Attack Level 1, Combat Effectiveness +5% and Morale +1 when the troops under your command attack. ）

Both skills made Lu Xi very satisfied. At this time, though. Naturally, defensive skills are more useful.

Like "March of the Storm", "Majestic Guardian" has reached 5,000 XP at level 1. However, this is a small amount of money for Lu Xi now, not only that, but after obtaining the skill, he also spent 10 skill points at one time to upgrade the skill to level 5, and the current effect is combat effectiveness +20%, morale +3, and an additional ability, when morale exceeds 5, the soldier has a 10% chance to trigger the passive ability "Unyielding".

Lu Xi didn't know what kind of divine beast this Raushzi's "unyielding" was, but it sounded like a cow. He turned his head and looked at the Federation soldiers standing behind him. Maybe the effect of the skill has begun to work, and the rabble who were still trembling a few minutes ago are now holding their weapons tightly, their waists and legs are not sore, and they all hold their heads high, like a group of martyrs who are ready to die

"Not enough is not enough, the will is there, but it is not fanatical enough!" Lu Xi said in his heart: "I don't need you to fight to the death, but I want you to have the belief that you will win!" ”

"Soldiers of the Federation, now, you are willing to trust me, you are willing to stand here with me to welcome our destiny, thank you! We are about to face an enemy more than twice as numerous as we are, all fierce and bloodthirsty Orc wolf cavalry and centaurs, and if we retreat now, no one will think we are cowardly. But you have all remained, for your conscience and duty tell you that there is no way to retreat, for behind you are a defenseless people who are hungry and cold. And the reason why soldiers are glorious and great is because their duty is to do their best to fight against the cruel and tyrannical evil force and protect all the weak who need protection! You have done it, your country will be proud of you, and your family will be proud of you! ”

"At least, in your old age, when your grandson is lying on your lap and asking, 'Grandpa, what were you doing when the refugees were slaughtered under the Black City?' You don't have to be embarrassed to put your little grandson on the other side, scratch your scalp and say, 'No. Nothing was done, my dear. At that time, my grandfather was repairing the floor on the city wall. ’”

This sentence caused a burst of laughter, and even Lieutenant Mons, who had been trembling all the time, and seemed to have no effect on Lu Xi's war skills, reluctantly raised his head and showed some smiles.

"I think that in the future, when anyone is so old that he can't even walk and can only stand with a cane, he can also hold his head high and say to the ignorant young people who laugh at our old age and uselessness: 'Lao Tzu was a combat hero back then, what are you doing now?' ”

The laughter was louder. The young soldiers present may have really seen such an old man, and they have also been reprimanded by them with similar words. But the thought that he will become one of this kind of old people in the future makes people who no longer have a sense of humor laugh dumbly. And in such laughter, the last fear and nervousness also disappeared with the relaxed love, and what came to mind was naturally the undoubted high fighting spirit and fighting spirit.

Lu Xi felt very satisfied. To put it bluntly, the army is a monster that needs to be fed with a sense of honor, and the promise of "after victory, you can burn and kill and plunder at will" can arouse their bloodlust and madness, but it cannot give them the true military spirit. As a qualified general, even if you want to take the soldiers to die, you must give the soldiers a glorious sense of mission like martyrs, and only by doing this, the soldiers can face a desperate situation and still be willing to fight to the last man.

From this point of view, Lu Xi has done a very successful job. I didn't see that these soldiers all raised their heads one by one, their eyes were solemn and high-spirited, and they almost breathed a little air in their nostrils. At that moment, these ordinary big-headed soldiers, who should have no chance with heroes in their lives, felt for the first time that they were so close to the legend.

Lu Xi said loudly again: "However, I must tell you that this battle is definitely not the end of us, but the beginning of our glory and dreams!" I will stand here and lead you to victory! Let this victory be the starting point of our legend! Let these brutal and lowly barbarians meet in front of the iron wall of our courage and determination! ”

"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! (To be continued......)
