Chapter 450: Hide and Seek (2)

Oulu reached the camp first, and then his hoplites were assembled. Illuminated by the torches lit to the left and right, Oulu squinted his eyes to see the figure in front of the camp that stood separate from the night. In Oulu's eyes, this figure was so proud and arrogant. Alone, he dared to stand in front of the barracks, which was louder than any slap.

Jazz felt his face burning, and he snatched a torch, threw it at the figure, and shouted, "Who! ”

The torches fell to the ground, and they were finally extinguished. In the firelight, the figure moved forward, and a short silver hair refracted the firelight, burning like a flame. In the fiery red pupils like magma, Sir Olu's surprised face was reflected.

The baron couldn't help but take a step back and lost his voice: "You are that Ellen?" ”

They hadn't met Allen yet, but from the previous commander's descriptions and many rumors, they had learned some of the dazzling traits of this opponent. For example, the rare short silver hair, the ruby eyes, and the pitch-black war knife that had slain Duruff.

So now as soon as he saw Allen, Oulu recognized him.

Alan didn't seem to see the tin cans behind the baron, let alone the military horses in the camp that began to gather in this direction. He said indifferently, as if he were chatting with an old friend, "Good evening, Sir Oulu." ”

Oulu's mood is definitely not good, and the fact that the Allen people are here is in itself the greatest contempt for him and the army. Sir Oulu's sensitive self-esteem was being tested to the greatest extent, and if Alan hadn't beheaded Duruff first and then defeated Torment, he would have become famous. Otherwise, how could he hold it down now, and rush up to kill it early. Now he could only calm down and said, "This night is indeed wonderful, and Sir Allen's actions are indeed beyond the expectations of ordinary people. I'll suppose Sir Alan must have had something else set up around here, but he came alone to lure me out of the camp and into your trap. Am I talking about it? ”

"Sir Oulu is a cautious man, but I can tell you that I am the only one here. I have a mention, and Sir Oulu does not know how to accept my challenge. I promise that I will never leave this place until the winner is decided. Eren put the knife case down and pulled out Chijun from it.

Olu smiled and said, "Sir Alan is really joking, two armies are fighting, and the victory or defeat is decided by one or two people. ”

He said this in a grand manner, but in fact everyone could hear that Oulu was timid. It's no wonder that he is not as good as Thomen, but he is limited and not as good as Duruff. Even Sir Hungry Wolf was killed by the young man in front of him, and his own battle was just a shame, so he simply found an excuse to refuse.

Alan suddenly stopped looking at him, looked up at the silver moon in the sky and said lightly: "In this way, although the viscount is large, there are few real warriors. Duruff is a character, and Baron Tormen, although he knows that he is invincible, but he fights to lead the people, is also one. I don't see a third one besides them. ”

Not to mention Oulu now, even the hoplites next to him felt their faces dull. It's just that their faces are hidden in their helmets, and they can't see their expressions. Oulu's face was wonderful, and in an instant, several emotions alternated. Being ridiculed by Alan in front of so many pairs of eyes, he really wanted to dig a strip in the ground to hide himself.

He snorted at the moment, "Heavy Corps, leave Sir Allen behind." I'd rather see how much Count Auban was willing to pay him for ransom. ”

The hoplites shouted in unison, but Alan laughed and said, "Sir Oulu doesn't have the courage to accept the challenge, so I won't accompany you." ”

Then turn around and run.

Oulu was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Bring the war horse here, you can't let him go back!" ”

Even though he knew that Alan would not be stupid enough to be left alone, Olu believed that he would not be able to pull in an army. And the thousands of soldiers on his side, if they don't even dare to catch up like this, they will not have the face to see people in the future. Soon the soldiers brought in their horses, and Oulu jumped on his horse and rode after him with the hoplites. He didn't believe that Allen's two legs could outrun the four legs of a war horse.

As soon as Oulu left the camp with the heavily armored regiment, suddenly shouts rang out from the rear of the camp. Lefus, who had just arrived in front of the camp gate, could only turn back when he heard the sound. When he reached the middle of the camp, he stopped his commander.

"Your Excellency, you can't go any way." The commander smiled wryly.

"What's going on?" Lefus only felt that was the most said this sentence tonight.

The commander frowned and said, "It's the enemy's strong men, they slid down the cliff on the left and attacked, our soldiers were caught off guard, and they have already been killed into the camp. But don't worry, I've organized several lines of defense to stop them, and I'm now preparing to mobilize my troops and horses to besiege them. ”

Les Fus blackened his face and said, "How many people?" ”

The commander raised three fingers.

"The three of them will be killed in our barracks, are our soldiers all papier-mΓ’chΓ©?" Ryfus said angrily.

The commander smiled bitterly: "But each of them is at least a strong man like you, and one of them is even ......stronger than the young man with a double blade."

At the end of the sentence, there was a sharp sound behind the camp. Lefus looked up and saw a blue light/qi across the camp, with a little light flickering in between, as if it were a gathering of stars, and the stars were in shape. That kind of deep and vast breath, if the stars fall, it is extraordinary.

"At any cost, I want to see their corpses!" Ryfus said in a deep voice.

Unfortunately, when the commander wanted to close the encirclement and trap these incoming strongmen, they were very sharp. Perceiving the commander's movements, he forcibly broke through the encirclement first, leaving only the corpses of fifty soldiers.

Although the loss was not much, it undoubtedly slapped Les in the face. What was even more unacceptable to the baron was that after the strong men left, they were attacked again before dawn. The attack consisted of a force of about two hundred men, and the sentinels set up by the commander outside the camp were completely ineffective until they were touched by the enemy.

After a fierce and short battle, the opposing side quickly left, this time with casualties on both sides.

But the successive attacks made all the soldiers in the camp afraid and unable to sleep peacefully. By dawn the next day, everyone was in a state of limbo. Neither did Lyfus sleep well, and as he walked out of the tent, he suddenly remembered that Oulu and his men had returned all night.

At this moment there was a sound of people outside the camp, and a soldier reported to Sir that it was Oulu who had returned. But there were only a dozen or so people left in the heavy corps that came back with him, and Lefus was startled, how to chase someone, Oulu actually lost two-thirds of his elite strength.

When he saw Oulu, Lefus couldn't associate the man in front of him with his dull eyes and decadent face. He went into the tent with Oulu and, after sending the soldiers away, asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Oulu smiled bitterly, and the scene of last night seemed to flash before his eyes.

The sound of hooves was like thunder, echoing across the wilderness. Although he was a little behind because of the horse, as Oulu had expected, Alan could not outrun his horse in such a gentle wilderness, and Oulu soon saw the figure galloping under the moonlight.

The figure that seems a little thin always gives people the feeling that they will fall to the ground in the next moment. But Alan kept running forward, as if his body was inexhaustible, and even under the chase of the war horse, he still ran through the wilderness and plunged into the woods. Seeing the woods, Oulu hesitated. Going deep into the woods at night, the terrain is complicated, which is tantamount to giving Alan a chance to break through.

But if he just returned empty-handed, he would probably become a joke in the mouths of other knights. Oulu gritted his teeth and ventured into the forest. But at this time, Alan came out of the forest again, and there were more than a dozen people behind him. They hold fire/gun-like weapons in their hands, but with a more common appearance than fire. The gun was much rougher, like a small cannon that could be held in your hand.

Despite seeing that Alan's men were armed with weapons they had never seen before, they still had the advantage in numbers, and Oulu did not hesitate to attack. The heavy regiment formed an offensive formation, and dozens of war horses charged together, and a thick murderous aura swept away.

According to Oulu's plan, as long as the heavy regiment survived the first round of attacks, once it got close to the opponent, it would be the time of Alan's death. But what happened next completely subverted his cognition.

He only saw Allen's heavy knife point, and then coldly ordered: "Fire missile, three rounds of covering attack!" ”

Next, the surface of the rugged guns flowed, and then bright fireballs crossed the land, smashing into the hoplites like meteor showers. A series of fierce explosions completely lit up the night, and the scorching air currents set off by the bursts even swept Olu, who was twenty meters away from the corps. He looked at the thirty or so fireballs in disbelief, and after a round of bombardment like a dense rain, the hoplites fell one by one.

The heavy armor on these elites will not be blown apart, but it will also be cracked everywhere. The important thing is that the soldier in a tin can was shocked to death inside. Especially those few infantrymen who were located in the center of the bombardment, whose bodies were even burned beyond recognition by the flames. Only half of the infantry in the outer circle were only wounded and not killed, but as three light spots quietly floated on the ground, three black and red pillars of fire rushed up one after another, lifting off a dozen infantry who happened to be on the light spots.

By the time they and their horses fell to the ground, they had turned into corpses.

Sir Oulu couldn't believe that his carefully built heavy army was eaten by the opponent in three or two. He gathered the remaining troops in fear, and did not dare to attack again, so he could only turn back to the camp with his tail between his legs.

"That's the way it is." Oulu said dejectedly, "Those strange guns, I swear the modified rifles equipped by the regular army of the Empire don't have this kind of power. And strangely, when those guns fired fireballs, I clearly felt the fluctuation of the source force. ”

Leyfus said from ear to ear, "You mean, those are the weapons that can power the source force?" You can't even build such a weapon in the Empire's weapons workshop, right? ”

"I don't know, but I know a little bit. The next time we encounter them, don't rush to charge, or we'll face a threat of fire comparable to that of a repeating artillery. ”

Lefus nodded heavily and comforted Olu a few more times before leaving.

The army set out an hour later, and the march was fairly smooth, but it had to stop when it was about to pass through a mountain path that was necessary to reach Sunset City. What stood in the way of the army was the obstacle of rubble, broken trees, and tons of gravel. The pile of obstacles, as big as a small mountain bag, blocked the entrance to the mountain road, making Lesfuss as ugly as his face was.

Needless to say, he also knew that the pile of obstacles in front of him was a gift from Allen. The army could, of course, bypass the mountain trail and make a detour through a forest not far away, heading to Sunset City in the other direction. But in this case, it would have taken four or five more days. If that's all it takes, just think about the repeated attacks on the camp by Alan and his men last night, you know that once you enter the forest, you will give the other party a chance to flexibly guerrilla.

After consulting with Oulu, Les Fus decided to take a break while the soldiers cleared the obstacles. They were frightened, especially Oulu, who had been scared by the loss of the Heavy Regiments last night. He would rather put in a little more effort than divert through the forest and give Eren a chance to sneak up again.

By the end of the day, most of the obstacles had been cleared. Looking at this, it will probably be cleaned up tomorrow morning. At the end of the day, the soldiers were tired and thirsty, and many of them had chapped lips. If there is no water to drink, the soldiers probably won't even have the strength to fight. As soon as Riffos was in charge, he had to send people to the neighborhood to find a source of water. Fortunately, there was a small river running out of the forest nearby, and although the amount of water drawn at a time was limited, it also postponed the crisis of water shortage for the army.

In the evening, the two knights increased the vigil, and more soldiers were arranged to be on duty for the night, and focused on protecting their little remaining food, for fear that Alan would burn it again. In this way, after most of the night, seeing that the wind and waves were calm, the two knights rested with confidence. But not long after he lay down, Lefus smelled a choking smell of smoke. He opened his eyes, and the floor of the tent was filled with gray smoke.

Sir thought that the barracks was on fire somewhere, and hurriedly walked out of the tent. But there was no obvious fire in the camp at night, but a large puff of smoke rolled from the front, spreading throughout the barracks, choking the soldiers and coughing everywhere. The smoke was getting louder, the visibility in the camp was much lower, and people were afraid to speak loudly for fear of inhaling too much smoke.

Covering his mouth with a handkerchief, Lifts called out indistinctly: "Go and call the commander!" ”

As soon as the order went down, a large number of voices rang out from the rear of the camp, and Lesfus's heart sank, and he knew that it must be another attack by Allen. R1292
