Chapter 587: Timely Rain
In Montgomery's imagination, Jenn should be dressed in tatters, embarrassed, and looking like he had managed to escape from the encirclement. But when he looked in the direction of the voice, he was surprised to find that Jenn was not at all as embarrassed as he thought. On the contrary, he was well-dressed, with a leisurely smile on his lips and a cane in his hand. Looking at him, it seems that he is not on the front line of the hustle and bustle of war, but walking in his back garden. Seeing Jenn like this, Montgomery was also stunned, and he couldn't figure out what this lord was thinking, could it be that he hadn't woken up yet?
Slander was blamed, but Montgomery quickly caught up with it.
"Is there anything wrong with you? Lord Pashanon Mens? ”
"Of course."
Hearing Montgomery's inquiry, Jenn nodded.
"I do have something to discuss with the Knights of Montgomery, and it's about St. Calendre."
Hearing this, Montgomery's face also changed, and then he quickly gestured to the soldiers next to him, signaling them to retreat. Then he took Jenn to a remote command room in the rear. After making sure that no one was eavesdropping on their conversation, Montgomery asked.
"I wonder what the lord wants to say?"
"Don't be so nervous, Grand Knight Montgomery."
Looking at Montgomery with a solemn face, Jenn smiled and waved his hand.
"The news of the fall of St. Calendre, the Grand Knight of Montgomery must already know."
“…………… That's right. ”
Hearing Jenn's words, Montgomery was silent for a moment. Then he nodded. In fact, he also knew that he couldn't hide it from Jenn at all, if someone else came to ask. Then Montgomery might have taken care of his excuses. But Jenn is different from the others, in terms of status. The other party is not inferior to him, and it seems that the Endless Harbor is very relaxed now, otherwise, this lord would not have such a leisurely attitude to talk to him. To be honest, Montgomery didn't know how the Endless Harbor could stop the undead from attacking, but looking at the appearance of this lord, he was also quite curious......... You must know that it is never easy to stop the undead army.
"So, what are the plans of the Grand Knight of Montgomery?"
"Plans? What can I do.........
Faced with Jenn's question, Montgomery smiled helplessly.
"Now we can only hope to withstand the onslaught of the undead army. And then do what he wants..............."
However, before Montgomery could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Jenn smiling.
"Does it make sense?"
"This ..............."
Hearing Jenn's inquiry, Montgomery instinctively opened his mouth to refute, but soon found that he had nothing to say......... Indeed, does it still make sense to do so?
Montgomery had asked himself this question more than once in the past few days. You know, the Templar Order was heavily armed here. In order to stop the undead army, so as to ensure the safety of the southern hinterland. But now, the fall of the city of San Calenster has declared the complete bankruptcy of this plan. Although the city of St. Calrenster is not technically the southern hinterland, it is within the interior of the Chaos Coastal Defence. Now that San Calenster City is finished, it doesn't really matter whether this line of defense is going to be or not. Even if they continue to defend here, those terrifying black dragons behind can still attack the southern hinterland at will. Although I don't know if those black dragons have anything to do with the undead. But Montgomery knew with his brain that a village destroyed under the dragon's breath was no different from a village destroyed in front of the undead. Maybe the attackers will change, but the outcome will be the same.
So. What is the point of their sacrifice here?
It can be said that the reason why they are still resisting now is simply so that they can live. If they give up their resistance, then they will really die.
However, this is only the best ending imagined, the worst is that the black dragons who occupy the city of St. Calenchard turn around and attack them, and at that time they will be attacked from the back, and the Montgomery Knights know very well what kind of outcome they will encounter once they encounter that situation. It wasn't a good ending, and he didn't want to die like that.
Montgomery didn't know if the black dragons who had taken over St. Calencher were in league with the undead, but what if they weren't? If the two are in a gang, then they are dead. If they weren't in the same group, they would be dead. The reason is very simple, the other party is an evil dragon clan who can ruthlessly destroy the entire city, and can you expect those evil dragon clans to have any kindness to themselves?
But what can be done now? There is no way forward, there is no way back, even if you want to hold on here, there are not enough supplies, in this case, it is basically equivalent to waiting for death.
The Grand Knight of Montgomery wasn't sure if the Legion Commanders below were aware of this, but luckily they were all focused on fighting the undead right now. He didn't know much about the situation in the rear, but Montgomery had noticed that some people were worried, and it was clear that they had realized that something was wrong.
"So, what is the matter with the lord's coming to me this time?"
Sighing helplessly, Montgomery put the depression behind him, and then turned to ask Jenn. This lord didn't come to see his own jokes this time.
"That's right."
Hearing Montgomery's inquiry, Jenn smiled slightly, and then he spoke.
"What do you think if I told you that I had a way to flip through the Alec Mountain Transporter?"
"You mean it really?!!"
Hearing Jenn's words, Montgomery's eyes widened in excitement and looked at Jenn in disbelief. In fact, what worries him the most is the evacuation. The city of St. Calendre was so important to them because it was the only transportation hub that could handle the transportation of personnel and supplies from dozens of legions. The Alec Mountains, on the other hand, are steep and difficult to walk, high in altitude, and full of beasts. If you want to forcibly climb the mountain, it is basically the same as sending it to death, and this mountain range is long and narrow, complicated and difficult to walk, and there is no way to climb over it. And at this moment, Jenn actually said that he had a way to climb over this mountain range? If that's the case, then their greatest suffering will be solved!!
"Of course, I think the Grand Knight of Montgomery has also heard that I have a Wizard Fortress that can fly in the sky, and it is not difficult to use this Wizard Fortress to transport soldiers and supplies. In fact, if you need to, we can use the Wizard Fortress for transportation. ”
"How many people can be transported at one time, and how many days does it take at one time?"
"Up to thirty thousand, one day at a time."
In the face of Montgomery's excited inquiry, Jenn also quickly gave an answer. In fact, with the mention of the Demon Fortress, don't say 30,000, 300,000 can be put down. After all, that magic fortress was originally prepared for the demon generals of the lower realm, considering that once the lower realm starts a war, the minimum battle scale is millions of dollars. A magic fortress can't hold three or five hundred thousand people, and it's useless. However, Jenn clearly didn't plan to let these guys run around in his Wizard Fortress, so he would only leave the soldiers in the teleportation area - in that case, 30,000 at a time was indeed the limit.
However, Montgomery obviously didn't know about this kind of thing, in fact, after hearing Jenn's words, his whole body immediately became excited, and Montgomery also knew very well that there was no point in staying on the Chaos Coast now, but he couldn't find a way to leave. And now, Jenn has a way to help himself and others evacuate, which is a relief for Montgomery!! But.........
"Does the lord have any requests?"
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. Although the reasons given by Jenn are very reasonable, Montgomery is not stupid, and if it is said that Jenn is dedicated to the public and has no selfish intentions, then he does not believe it. And in fact, Jenn does have the conditions.
"Of course, first of all, the first one, those evacuated legions, I will take over their territory."
"You're not leaving?"
Hearing Jenn's request, Montgomery was slightly taken aback. Jenn, on the other hand, shrugged his shoulders indifferently before replying.
"I can go whenever I want, and I'm not in a hurry. Besides, we can't wait in the back to get home, so let's stop the undead. ”
"Of course this is impossible, my lord, I will personally take people to participate in the defense with you until the last moment!!"
"We'll talk about that then."
In the face of Montgomery's emotional assurance, Jenn waved his hand nonchalantly, obviously not taking the matter to heart. Soon, though, he seemed to think of something, and smiled smugly.
"But actually, I do need the help of Grand Knight Montgomery for something, I don't know if you want to ........."
"As long as it doesn't violate the principles and the Templar doctrine, I can't shirk it!"
Hearing Jenn's words, the Grand Knight of Montgomery also patted his chest hard and gave an answer without hesitation. If Jenn was really able to transport these soldiers trapped on the Chaos Coast out of this dead land, then the Grand Knight of Montgomery would not refuse any of his requests. Hearing Montgomery's answer, Jenn only nodded slightly.
"Well, I think we can get started."
Then, he spoke slowly. (To be continued.) )
