Chapter 264: Cavalry and Infantry
Xu Nan fixed his eyes and saw that near the training ground in the center of the camp, there were many soldiers around.
Most of these soldiers were men, with occasional women, but there were not many of them.
The person who spoke appeared to be a female soldier.
This is an icefield girl with a beautiful face, her figure is very hot, and the standard armor can't hide the bumpy figure, although there is no makeup or dress up, but the sassy and heroic spirit that comes to her face is still easy to make people feel good.
It's just that when Xu Nan saw the two-handed giant axe she was easily carrying in her hand, the whole person fell silent.
The Icefield girl seemed to be arguing with the other soldiers.
At this time, Xu Nan also saw the embarrassed look on Scurry's face, and knew that things might not be so simple.
He quietly leaned over and listened for a while, and found that the topic of their quarrel was actually a boring proposition like "who is worthy of the guardian city lord"!
Most of these soldiers were grateful and admired Xu Nan, but this Ice Plains girl seemed to be even more daring, she actually wanted to become Xu Nan's personal guard!
"What's going on? Don't you explain? β
Although Xu Nan probably guessed the ins and outs, he still couldn't understand Scurry's deliberate indulgence.
In any case, since this is a military camp, there must be strict military law.
No matter what the reason, order in the barracks cannot be obstructed.
Scurry smiled bitterly and began to explain to Xu Nan in a low voice.
β¦β¦
The name of this icefield girl is Lilac.
She was a survivor of the Wildfire City Catastrophe, and she was originally just a little girl with greater strength than ordinary people, but after the Wildfire City Catastrophe, she underwent an amazing transformation.
In just a few months, some kind of bloodline in her body seems to have been stimulated, and she has not only taken up the Berserker class, but also brushed the class level to level 14!
She is good at two-handed giant axes, and her brute force is invincible, and she can't find an opponent who can match her in strength simply when she searches Wildfire City!
Her strength is also very amazing, and her destructive power is even more so!
Lilac's parents died in the Wildfire City Catastrophe, and she, like the other orphans, was taken into the Youth Palace in Anonymous CityβXu Nan had established this organization just to give these homeless teenagers a place to go, and at the same time he didn't bother to choose a name......
Naturally, with Lilac's strength, she couldn't stay in the Youth Palace, and soon, the teenagers who were beaten by her and had a blue nose and swollen face begged her to go out.
Lilac readily agreed, and she took a few sisters and ran to the city hall to ask to become Xu Nan's personal guard!
It's a pity that Xu Nan's personal guards were monopolized by the elephant people at that time.
A Greytower archon cunningly kicked her to Scurry's name.
It just so happened that Scurry also took a fancy to the girl's amazing destructive power - if used correctly, such a berserker is a very powerful combat force no matter what kind of battlefield it is, and can quickly tear through the enemy's defenses and achieve strategic goals.
The only thing that is a little troublesome is that Lilac and her sisters seem to be fanatical Xu Nan fans.
Moreover, they inherited the racial character of the Ice Plains before the Wildfire City Catastrophe, and they were very unruly.
With Scurry's methods, there is no way to completely tame her.
During training, they often have some inexplicable conflicts with other soldiers - relying on Lilac's strength, they often strike hard, making the barracks a little restless.
Scurry had no choice but to expel them from the army.
It's just that in this way, they become homeless again.
Scurry reluctantly managed to find some logistical positions in the barracks.
Lilac currently holds the position of Chief Red Lizard Keeper, and the rest of the girls are in her charge.
Because the Red Lizard Corps is an underground cavalry organization formed by Scurry, they usually train outside the city and often do not come back for half a month, so letting them live here can avoid most conflicts.
But today, unfortunately, the Red Lizard Corps ended their seventeen-day field training, and the knights all returned.
When the two sides handed over the red lizard, there was some verbal altercation.
The atmosphere is a bit tense right now.
The Red Lizard Riders think Lilacs are just a bunch of children who don't know the height of the sky; And Lilac and the others think that they are underestimated, and they can only feed the lizards for this group of stinky men here, and the strength of the red lizard knights is not qualified to protect the best city lord!
She offered to fight it out!
It's okay to go heads-up or fight in groups!
Hearing that they were going to fight alone, the red lizard knights all showed a look of vigilance, although they thought that Lilac was just a little kid, but they also knew that this little kid's combat power was amazing.
"What's the point of heads-up? Will the enemy on the battlefield go head-to-head with you? β
The leader of the red lizard sneered:
"If you really think you have the strength to protect the city lord, let's have a fair competition!"
Lilac's spirit was shocked, and she clenched the two-handed giant axe in her hand, and shouted:
"Come on, come on!"
"How to compete, you say it quickly!"
The leader of the red lizard sneered: "You have eight people, then there are eight knights on my side." β
"How about we do a simulation of a raid? The raid location is Gold and Silver Town, one of the three towns in the mine! β
"In this way, we will set out from the gate of the barracks in a moment, and the goal is the great deep well in Jinyin Town."
"Look which side is the first to complete the raid!"
"I want to warn you, it's useless to complete the raid alone, you have to work with all your partners, this is the real war!"
The girls looked blank.
One of them, a clever girl, realized that something was wrong and was about to say something, but Lilac agreed.
"When does it start?"
She asked.
"Anytime!"
The cavalry leader laughed.
β¦β¦
"Isn't that bullying a child?"
Xu Nan was furious:
"Who is this leader? Are they cavalry, and some infantry than raids? Isn't that better than running? It's just that others use their feet, and they ride red lizards! β
"Won't these cavalrymen be ashamed?"
Scurry was silent.
Xu Nan continued to observe, and as a result, he found that none of these cavalrymen felt ashamed!
On the contrary, before they started, they checked the equipment very carefully, and also checked the state of the mounts, simply leaving no chance for these girls!
"This is my Red Lizard Rider?"
Xu Nan was shocked:
"Is that so pleasing to me?"
Curry: "......"
Of course, Xu Nan is just ridiculing and ironic, it's okay to be shameless against the enemy, but it's a little too ruthless to be so yin to his own people.
However, he also understood, looking at the expression of the cavalry leader, it was estimated that he was usually angry with the lilacs.
This so-called raid competition does not seem to be a temporary idea, it is estimated that it has been planned for a long time.
Looking at the eight lightly armed red lizard knights and eight young and beautiful girls standing side by side in front of the horizontal line outside the barracks, Xu Nan felt a little sad in his heart.
Is this the pitiful appearance of a flock of little sheep when they meet a bunch of old yinbi?
Regarding the Red Lizard Cavalry, Xu Nan also knew something.
This unit is an important part of the field force that Scurry has focused on.
At present, the number of soldiers in the Anonymous City is about 3,000, of which 2,000 are infantry responsible for defending the city and fighting; Of the remaining 1,000 men, half were field raiders, 300 members of the equipment squad, and 60 tank crews.
In addition, it is the 100-man Red Lizard Cavalry that has been trained with a lot of military spending.
The Red Lizard Cavalry is a typical underground light cavalry with a very impressive movement speed, which can handle most underground raid missions.
Their mounts were special red lizards that Curry had carefully foraged, tamed by the Iceman Beast Trainers, and given to the soldiers. This red lizard has powerful infrared vision, and can find its exit with a keen sense of smell and judgment of air movement, even in a dark world.
They're very fast!
Even if you are carrying a knight, it is about 1.5 times faster than ordinary people, and it can even reach 4~5 times when starting at full speed.
This is very rare in the underworld, after all, it is not the unobstructed plains of the surface world, which is full of potholes and sudden stalactites.
Running too fast, it is easy to have a tragic situation where the mount passes, but the knight himself is hung on a stone......
The Red Lizard Knight, on the other hand, is a young man carefully selected from among the Ice Plains.
They are very strict in age, between 24 and 28 years old, and have very good flexibility and tolerance for darkness.
If you are too young, you are prone to violent fluctuations in your psychological state during long-distance dark attacks, and it is easy to get lost in the darkness!
If you are too old, you are often not flexible enough, and it is difficult for you to be competent for high-intensity cavalry tasks!
According to Scurry's plan, in a large-scale battle that may occur in the future, this red lizard cavalry can cut into the battlefield behind enemy lines, with the main combat goal of cutting off the enemy's supply lines and intercepting the enemy's intelligence transmission!
All in all, this group of young people is very important.
It's just that, in the face of such elite soldiers, Lilac and her sisters did not show the slightest timidity.
After figuring out the other party's conspiracy, the war intent in Lilac's eyes became even stronger!
She first glared at the leader of the Red Lizard Cavalry, and then at the Red Lizard under his crotch, which made the Red Lizard uneasy by her!
"Are you ready?"
The cavalry leader glanced at them: "Ready." β
"Run!"
With a whoosh, the eight-headed red lizard silently activated, disappearing at the end of the barracks street in the blink of an eye!
"Damn!"
Lilac angrily begins to chase.
Her sisters followed suit.
Xu Nan didn't stop this farce, and according to Scurry, it was time for someone to deal with these idle girls.
Otherwise, the entire anonymous city may be troubled by them.
It is said that not long ago, there was a naughty one among Lilac's little sisters, who peeked at male soldiers taking a bath or going to the toilet, which scared several teenagers who had just joined the army for a while and did not dare to go out in the middle of the night to pee alone......
Xu Nan nodded, but always felt that the painting style was a little wrong.
But he was actually interested in these girls.
In these girls, he felt another bloodline power that was awakening vigorously.
"The Iceborns have berserker blood?"
"It's just that it has been suppressed by Sebaron's devil bloodline before, and the berserker bloodline rarely comes into play."
"But, after the Wildfire City Catastrophe, this bloodline began to sprout again?"
This is Xu Nan's inference, not necessarily correct, but it should be the same.
Because he noticed that among the eight girls, except for Lilac, the rest of the girls also showed signs of awakening the bloodline of the berserker.
It's pretty rare.
It was only at this time that Xu Nan recalled the scene when he had just arrived in Wildfire City.
It was still a wildfire city with simple folk customs and no road to spare.
The savage and fierce character of the Ice Plains left a deep impression on him.
It's just that after the catastrophe of Wildfire City, the people of the ice fields who suffered major trauma seem to have changed the character of the nation overnight.
They began to embrace the boring but relatively safe profession of miners.
They have also slowly adapted to the slow-paced life in Anonymous City.
Xu Nan walked on the road, and rarely saw the reckless energy of the ice plain people.
Of course, this is beneficial, for Xu Nan, they have become easier to manage, and the security is also very good.
But there are also disadvantages.
They seem to have lost some kind of vitality.
And now, Xu Nan sees this vitality in Lilac and them.
"It seems that after the Wildfire City catastrophe, there are middle-aged and elderly people who are physically and mentally exhausted."
"There are also young people like Lilac who are still full of vitality."
"The Ice Plains race has not been completely destroyed after all."
Xu Nan sighed.
"Why don't you follow along?"
The thought arose, and he flew over directly on the magic carpet.
Only Curry and the others were left confused.
"General, what are we going to do?"
Someone asked.
Scurry sighed and scratched his head with a strange expression:
"Forget it, leave it alone."
"It's good that the lord of the castle is happy."
β¦β¦
The magic carpet quickly passed through the dark passage, and soon, Xu Nan caught up with them.
To his surprise, the raid race wasn't as one-sided as he had imagined!
Although it was very difficult, the girls actually bit the red lizard cavalry to the death.
"Isn't it releasing water?"
Xu Nan was suspicious.
This is not unusual, after all, the opponents are all beautiful girls who are like flowers and jade - the racial talent of the Ice Plains is really enviable, these girls are all white and beautiful, tall and capital, and their development is very advanced.
The only regret is that after meeting Aunt Icefield, Xu Nan learned early that this beauty has a shelf life.
And it's pretty short.
All kinds of chaotic thoughts flashed through Xu Nan's mind.
However, the red lizard cavalry began to exert force, and the distance between the two sides was slowly widened.
"That's right!"
"Why should the infantry compare with the cavalry!"
Xu Nan breathed a sigh of relief.
Who knew that at this time, Lilac suddenly roared:
"I'm going to speed up!"
"Which sister can't run, tell me!"
A panting girl raised her hand.
Without saying a word, Lilac picked her up with one hand, put her on her shoulder, and then rushed out with lightning all the way.
The girls all started running wildly, trying to keep up with Lilac.
It didn't take long for them to catch up with the Red Lizard Cavalry!
"I'll ......"
"Aren't berserkers not very long-lasting?"
Xu Nan was dumbfounded.
β¦β¦
