Chapter 487: Arnold's return
The green pavement was soon stained red with hot and humid blood, and screams and screams echoed under the clear sky, full of panic.
"It's still an old acquaintance!"
Downton saw that it was actually Kramer, the leader of the third regiment of the Savage Garden, who led the vanguard, and wanted to give this guy on a tall horse a shot, but he thought about his archery skills and gave up.
A projectile of 3,000 gold coins, he is not willing to waste it.
"I'll spare you my life first!"
Downton let go of his handcuff and threw out a Sanction Hammer with a wave of his hand, and one of the shieldmen who smashed it vomited blood and fell, causing a hole in the shield array, but it was quickly filled by other shieldmen.
The ogre screamed, murderous, and his master led the charge, and there were firebirds in the air, which seemed to them to be the safest battle, so they all couldn't wait to pick up the hair of the war money.
"Steady, steady, support will be here soon!"
Despite Kramer's hoarse shouts, the shield soldiers still had earthy faces, and there was no way, Sherman's momentum at full speed was too wild.
With an average weight of five tons, the bear is a burly man with heavy armor on his body, like a steel chariot, which is very visually stunning.
The Green Goblin is a scorching nightmare from the abyss, seeing killing as a daily routine, and not afraid of the blade sticking out of the gap in his shield and rushing excitedly.
"Kill!"
As Downton shouted, the ogres roared in unison.
Five golden dragon spears suddenly appeared, and they struck at the two tower shields, directly blasting them, and before the follow-up mercenaries could make up for it, Downton threw another warhammer.
"Block!" Kramer's eyes were red, but it was useless to scream.
Downton killed. Rushing through the gap, his upper body bent down, and his right arm swung the Hammer with all his might.
Bang!
The sheer power of Vulcan's body combined with the blasting impact of the Hammer of the Fire Demon directly caused the struck shield soldier to fly out of the air like a baseball hit by a home run, knocking over a dozen unlucky ghosts nearby.
Bang! Bang!
Downton quickly swung his arm, and the hammer smashed, bringing out an afterimage, and also a stumbling shieldman.
"Kill!"
Watching his master kill in all directions, the killer shouted excitedly and rushed into the shield array along the route he had killed.
Boom! Boom!
Not to mention the bone spurs on the war bear. The running impact shield soldiers alone could not carry it. So these guys were unlucky, and they were all knocked over, either trampled to death or crashed to death.
"Block it!"
It was as if a flood had rushed through the embankment, and the crack was instantly broken. In accordance with the duties. Kramer should have plugged in with the Magician. But looking at this group of heavy riders, all the strength of his body slipped away, except for shouting for command. He did not dare to go into battle in person.
Downton led the team to kill the five-layer shield soldiers, and appeared in front of the rioting spearmen, these guys had just passed the attack of the firebird, and were in a nervous situation, except for some frightened stupid standing in place with spears in pain, and more of them hid to the side.
"Withdraw!"
Rosicky gave a warning, and smoke and dust filled the distance, which was a sign that the cavalry was rushing to support.
"Withdraw!"
Downton shook the reins, turned to leave, and returned along the road, originally preparing to fight back again, but he didn't expect the shield soldiers to learn smartly and dodge from afar.
This is actually the most correct thing to do, they can't stop the cavalry, it is better to retain their strength, anyway, when the large army comes, these enemies will inevitably retreat.
There was a cavalry squad nearby, but no one dared to chase it, and the firebird that didn't see the sky also evacuated, and when they caught up with it, they were absolutely burned to slag.
When the support group arrived, Downton and his party were gone.
"What did you say, a team attacked the logistics team?"
Listening to Hu Tao's report, Downton was a little surprised, even the bandit group that fought Autumn Wind would not be stupid enough to provoke these two mercenary groups.
"Is it your friend?" Rosicky asked, and he wanted to slap himself in the mouth, this question is too stupid, not to mention that Downton is a commoner, even if he is a nobleman, there is no friend who is willing to storm the two 10,000-strong mercenary group for him, at most it is some aid.
Downton rolled his eyes, "Do you see who it is?"
"A bunch of savages!" Hu Tao pouted, still angry that Downton didn't let her go to war, "I don't want to be a scout, I'm going to cut people!"
"Savages?" Downton and Rosicky looked at each other, there was no such species among the natives of the hills.
"It's definitely a bunch of savages. Hu Tao nodded affirmatively, "Those guys have totem tattoos on their faces, they can't see their appearance at all, they have brown hair, all combed into pigtails, although they are strong, but they don't take a bath, they look dirty." ”
Hu Tao took out a packet of toffee from the sewn purse Elaine had sewn for her, and the bite made a crisp click.
"What do their costumes look like?" Rosicky frowned, a little confused, but the barbarians weren't supposed to be here.
"I didn't have any clothes, I was wearing a pair of briefs, and by the way, I was wearing a horned helmet, and they said things I didn't understand!"
"Are you still carrying the Viking tomahawk with both hands?" Seeing Hu Tao nod, Rosicky confirmed, "That's right, it's a barbarian, and an orthodox barbarian from beyond the Northland tundra, but what are they provoking the Savage Garden for?"
It is said that barbarians are rude and hot-tempered, but in fact, people are not stupid, they just do it in advance.
"It can't be Arnold's back, right?" Jackson interjected after a moment's pause.
"What Arnold?"
"I recruited a barbarian a year ago, but I haven't seen him for a long time since I gave him a sum of money to gather his compatriots. ”
Downton thought of a possibility, a little excited.
"Give up the sneak attack, Firebird, Walnut, and go find those barbarians. Rosicky immediately changed his plan, "We can't let our combat power go to waste. ”
Walnut rolls over and jumps on the falcon, urging it to hurry.
Despite the superiority of aerial reconnaissance, Hu Tao still found nothing, and the vegetation of the Red Mountain Forest was too dense for it to hide some people.
Seeing this, Rosicky asked Hu Tao to continue the search. Then let the Firebird return to the front and began frequent harassment.
"These damn guys, is there an end?" the savage group smashed the kettle angrily, although the number of dead and injured each time was only three hundred, and the loss was not large, but this kind of attack was too annoying, just as disgusting as eating flies.
The morale of the team has visibly fallen, and there is no way, it is too embarrassing to be beaten passively all the time to change who is the same.
"Send more scouts. Wave-like search. ”
The deputy head of the regiment suggested. Scouts are a skill class that requires a lot of experience to develop, but that's okay, cavalry can also be used. Anyway, it's a zero-hour count. Give the enemy a kind of oppression.
The scouts spilled out in waves. Keep a distance between each other that can be spotted within three minutes after being attacked.
"Who's giving the order? are you crazy?" Rosicky laughed dumbly, "Forget it, since the other party gave us a big gift." There's no reason not to take it. ”
Downton and his entourage went out again, this time no longer to harass the corps, but to storm the scouts, fighting in small teams, these scouts were the opponents of the ogre, they wanted to escape, but under the crotch were ordinary war horses, which could outrun Sherman, not to mention that there was a firebird to support.
So the scouts who were targeted by Downton were all unlucky, there were no dead scum left, and there were scouts nearby to support them at first, but even if they saw the enemy after the worst time, they didn't dare to get on, and turned around and ran away with a flare.
Syllable!
The leader of the savage group dropped another kettle, he didn't have the slightest way to deal with this tactic, the other party just bullied him for his individual strength.
Send out a cavalry team of demons? Not to mention that it is not easy to find the other party, even if it does, who can beat the team escorted by firebirds?
"Damn, the tactical advantage of a flying superbeast is too great. ”
The head of the Indian regiment was about to pull his hair naked, but he still couldn't figure out a solution.
In order to reduce the damage, they withdrew some of the scouts, and sure enough, the other side began to harass the large army again.
"Forget it, let them fight, the whole army will speed up, and strive to reach Morning Mist Town as soon as possible!"
The two Grand Masters gave the order in unison.
"The strain was good. ”
Rosicky saved a sentence, even if it is a temporary scout, it is also a cavalry, if you want to be skilled in fighting immediately, it will take at least two or three years, but the shield soldiers, spearmen or something can be trained casually for a few months before they can go into battle, and in the case that there is no way to avoid attrition, they all choose to retain the technical and technical arms.
"Very decisive!"
Downton sighed, he would do the same if he had changed, only by rushing to Morning Mist Town earlier and seeking a decisive battle could reduce his losses.
The team shifted again, and the next evening, as they passed through a dense forest, a group of barbarians suddenly burst out and surrounded them.
"Leave your mounts behind, or you'll die. ”
The barbarian, at the head, was tall and shouted in half-baked Frankfurt.
The other companions clamored loudly for the deputy commander, and some of the fellows had bloody beast meat in their hands and ate it raw.
Such frequent sneak attacks by the Downton Regiment also made the barbarians discover the team, so they set up an ambush on the way to the town in advance.
"What about Schwarzenegger, let him come out!" Downton tapped his horse's belly, stepped out of the crowd, and replied loudly, "I'm Downton of Morningfog, his friend!"
"What, you're Downton's Chief's allegiance employer?"
The deputy head of the regiment was dumbfounded, hesitated, and made a gesture for the deputy to call the leader.
After waiting for half an hour, Arnold appeared from the forest with a happy expression, "Where is Downton?"
"Arnold, how are you doing?"
Downton rolled over and dismounted.
"Lord...... Boss!"
Arnold Dalu rushed up with a smile, he originally wanted to call the master, but in front of a group of subordinates, he lost his identity, so he could only change his words.
Downton also greeted him, not disgusted by Arnold's bloody scabs and the dirt left by not bathing, and hugged him.
"I haven't seen you in a year, are you okay?"
"Good, thanks to your money. Arnold lowered his voice, "Master, I'm sorry, I took my compatriots to beg for a living, and now I represent the face of a barbarian, so I can't call you master." ”
"It's okay!"
Downton didn't care about a title, but Arnold was moved, Downton was still as generous and understanding as before, and if it weren't for his funding, he would probably have starved to death, or become a slave, and died in a gladiatorial arena to please those nobles. (To be continued......)
