Black Dragon Code

The door curtain was lifted, and the cold air swam over like a poisonous snake, making people's teeth chatter, and the boots creaked the ice under their feet, and the sudden cold wind lifted Tenny's hood, revealing his hard face.

The village of Larose is very quiet, but there is no shortage of people. The square is filled with tents. Tenni Pig brought all his Iron Crusaders into this remote village. Nearly 2,000 people are crowded in the snow. , the army requisitioned every vacant lot, and the freshly dug cellars were filled with food, weapons, and armor.

Snow piled up on the wall stacks and horse posts, and icicles hung down. In the dark place in the corner of the village, many frozen corpses were hung on hemp ropes, and ice was covered with swollen and miserable faces. When the forward troops arrived at Laros Village and announced that the place was requisitioned, the locals who were close to the north resisted fiercely. The soldiers also impolitely stabbed all the resistance to death with spears, and the others served as slaves.

"Work hard," Tenney told them when they arrived later. "Good work will get you forgiven."

The village of Larose is located in the wilderness, and stones and wood can be found everywhere. Under the order of the Iron Crusaders, the slaves first built a strong fortress, and then set up an inconspicuous sentry post on the edge of the village, and finally built it for the soldiers. residence. When it was all over, Taney fulfilled his promise, granting the slaves forgiveness but not freedom.

A troop of guards stood guard with spears, huddled and trembling in spite of their thick fur cloaks, their beards covered with ice, and when Tanlu and his lieutenant approached, the soldiers Subconsciously straightened his back.

"Hard work, someone will replace you in another two hours." Tenny looked into the guard post, patted the soldier on the shoulder, and then went to the next guard post.

Lieutenant Hogar followed behind holding a torch. I have to say that Tenni Pig is indeed a competent commander. He is a legendary warrior, so at the age of eighty, he can still maintain the same vigorous energy as a young man. Commander, he would come out to patrol the guard post two or three times a night. No one in the Iron Crusaders remembered any night when Tenny slept more than five hours.

The new wind rolled the snow again, causing the flames on the torch to flicker. Hogar felt that the snow seemed to be getting smaller, and he raised his head to look at the deep and dark night sky.

The flapping figure draws a scarlet trail, covering the falling snow, one, two, three...

"Enemy attack!"

The sharp roar from the throat broke the silence of Larose, and the whole camp boiled like a pot of boiling hot soup under the fire.

The shining lighting technique went straight into the sky, illuminating the dense figures in the darkness. The bodies of the barghests were crowded together, and the jagged scales on the body surface reflected the luster of metal, rushing towards the village of Larose like a tide.

Of the first outposts attacked,

The soldiers seemed to have foreseen the coming of doom in advance. They had just adjusted the bed slaves, and now they were just in use. Under the operation of the soldiers, the siege equipment fired a strong and powerful crossbow bolt like a long spear, knocking a jumping and running dog The devil is firmly nailed to the ground.

But this has little effect on the situation. The weakness of the slow reloading speed of the bed slave is fatal in the face of a flood of incoming enemies. More barghests rushed to the sentry post, and the wooden watchtower trembled violently and then collapsed. .

There were shrill screams in the icy cold wind, and one could imagine what a cruel massacre was going on there.

The flying dragon in the sky screamed sharply, flapped its wings and swooped down, grabbed the lone soldier with its sharp and powerful feet, flew up into the sky and threw it down again. The thick and cold armor could not provide any protection in this situation. , The soldier's heart was shattered by the huge impact caused by the fall.

"Keep calm, spellcaster!" shouted Tenny Piggle, standing in the snow with his sword drawn.

Eye-catching flames erupted from Larose Village, and the rolling fireballs poured out. The barghests who came forward were swept by the scalding flames and explosive air waves, and some of their bodies were directly ignited, and the air was filled with a pungent burnt smell.

The battered barghests stopped attacking. They turned their heads to stare at the direction where the fireball was attacking, and then howled like wolves. Their fierce eyes flashed with the light of finding their prey, and they all rushed in this direction.

Tenny stomped heavily on the snow, leaving deep footprints, and jumped to the side of the swarming soldiers: "Steady the array, prepare to block, let these beasts taste our power!"

The bows and crossbows are loaded, and the soldiers of the Iron Crusaders are all equipped with portable and easy-to-use hand crossbows. This kind of hand crossbow itself has limited lethality, but it can achieve excellent results when paired with the armor-piercing arrows provided by the empire on which the sun never sets. The soldiers in the second row bent forward, and the soldiers in the first row knelt down on one knee with their left arms crossed over their right hands, and pulled the trigger on the approaching dog demon.

The consumption of war on the economy is no different from burning money. These armor-piercing arrows are not easy to manufacture, so each one is very valuable. They can be sold for ten to twenty gold coins in the dark black market. Su's soldiers skillfully drew and loaded their arrows, aimed and fired them, each wave cost hundreds of armor-piercing arrows.

Of course, the benefits they obtained are also very considerable. Under the condition of intensive crossbow arrow strikes, even the barghests of the Black Wing Empire can hardly protect themselves. Their scales and bodies are nailed through, leaving holes that gushes out blood. , if the archer aimed accurately enough, he could even shoot directly through the barghest's head, killing it on the spot.

Five consecutive rounds of shooting caused hundreds of barghests to fall to the ground, but also caused the enemy to rush forward.

"Draw your sword!"

Tenny roared, he is the supreme commander of the Iron Crusaders, and at the same time a legendary warrior who has experienced many battles, so he should stand in the first line of defense and fight these beasts hand-to-hand.

Although it is a combat force from the Riverlands, the configuration and hard power of the Iron Crusaders are not weak. In addition to Tenny Piri, the army also has an archmage, five intermediate spellcasters, more than thirty The caster troop composed of spell apprentices is also making every effort to resist the attack. The hazy buff spells enveloped the entire array of soldiers, and under the black sky appeared one after another fire, bursting out among the barghests and flying dragons.

The whole village of Larose is burning.

...

In the end, at the cost of huge casualties, the Iron Crusaders led by Tanny repelled the incoming enemy. This was a major mistake in the enemy's decision-making. Immediately give up the offensive intention after commanding an elite force.

"why?"

Kneeling in front of Tenny was the orc overseer covered in blood. Even though the commander was captured, the dog demons and dragons did not retreat, and fought until the last drop of blood was shed.

"Why did you choose Larose? This kind of attack at all costs, what does this mean to you?" Tenney asked. He wanted to know the strategic goals of these guys, which might affect the follow-up trend of the war.

"At all costs? Ha ha. Human beings, what you mean by all costs is the level of attack by this little soldier?"

The bound orc warlord raised his head and looked at him contemptuously: "Stupid guy, Laros is just a small target that is not taken seriously, and what I lead is not the elite troops of Black Wing. Tonight, all those who disobey and offend There will be a reckoning, and the army of the Black Wing will sweep across the entire central region."

The orc warlord coughed up two mouthfuls of blood. He didn't seem to mind saying a few more words, and before the other party asked a question, he continued: "I failed, but you are not the victorious side, and the attack is not over yet. There will be an attack here soon." By the time you clean it up, you will all be reduced to dust under the heavy crushing of the black wings."

"Disgusting brown pig." Hogar, who was standing aside, frowned and couldn't help but kicked the orc's head, knocking him to the ground. "The mouth is really smelly and hard."

The orc warlord fell to the ground with a sneer on his face.

"You're about to die." Tanny walked to him, knelt down, looked at the expression on the orc's face, and asked softly, "Is it worth it to work for that monster that twists the darkness?"

"To you it is a monster, but to us, Caesar the Great is the guide, the savior, the best and only king."
