Chapter 543: Stand still
In Danyu City, the city defense army is eating. No matter what period, military rations are the first guarantee. No one will starve the army when the top is hungry. Even when there is a famine, they will do their best to ensure military rations. Otherwise, these people holding weapons will cause trouble.
Mutiny is no joke.
In addition, Burton's previous food relief temporarily relieved the urgent need, and the food in the army was also much better.
At this time, the soldiers were sitting in groups in front of the cauldron, eating and chatting:
"I can finally eat freely. Who would have thought that there would be a famine in Danyu City."
"While there is plenty of food now, eat as much as you can. One day the food donated by Prince Bolton will be gone, and you will be hungry again."
"Do you think the higher-ups will really forcefully burn those wheat straws regardless of whether the people live or die?"
"Who knows, anyway, I have sent money to my family and asked my wife and children to seek refuge in other cities. I don't care what kind of chaos this place becomes."
"Hey, my wife and kids haven't left yet. I asked them to stay at home and not go out. Is this going to be okay?"
"Hurry up and let them go out and hide. Many nobles have already begun to move. The ones left in the city are civilians and slaves who have no money to travel far away. If you can leave, you should leave as soon as possible."
"Woo"
While the soldiers were chatting, a dull horn sound suddenly sounded from the observation tower, indicating that the reconnaissance post had observed the approach of unknown forces.
As an inland city directly under the jurisdiction of the Central Government, Danyu City rarely encounters invasions from foreign enemies. The soldiers' reaction was not as sharp as that of the border guards. They paused for several seconds before putting down their bowls one after another, picking up their weapons, running up the city wall, and looking out.
.
The end of the horizon was originally a patch of emerald green, but suddenly a black dot appeared, and then stretched into a line, sweeping in like a black wave. If you look closely, you will find that every component of the black wave is a cavalryman wearing a black shirt.
.
"Rumble" the dull sound of horse hooves sounded like thunder, and the black death flag continued to flutter. I don't know if it was a coincidence. When the cavalry passed by, the dark clouds in the sky also fluttered to block the sun, and the light curtain was visible to the naked eye.
The speed disappears and the world becomes dark, as if death is coming.
A commander recognized the flag of this army and reported to the commander: "This is the flag of the "Death Regiment" in Twilight City."
"Why the hell are there another one?!" The commander wanted to curse. The city defense army had been tortured by Bolton's bodyguards a few days ago, and they finally sent the prince away without even getting hot.
With an army coming, when did Danyu City become a public toilet where you can come and leave whenever you want?!
However, since they were friendly troops, most likely sent by the royal family, the commander told the soldiers not to act rashly, and then personally rode out of the city to greet them.
In terms of combat effectiveness, the Death Corps is not as good as any of the kingdom's four elite legions, but in terms of mystery, no legion can match it.
The Legion of Death is the only force in Doguland dedicated to fighting aliens. Legend has it that every soldier knows how to use blasphemous weapons from the outer world, which casts an elusive veil on them. In addition,
All the members were wearing black shirts and looked very imposing. When facing them, the pressure was inevitably doubled.
In front of the army, a general holding a black sword stood on horseback, picking his nose.
Who else could openly pick his nose on such an occasion, it could only be Lugo.
The commander rode forward. Before he could speak, Lugo said lazily: "Change defense."
The commander immediately peed. What’s going on with the friendly forces now? Why did you change the defense without saying a word? Can you change the city defense if you want?!
The Guards Corps is nothing more. Their general is His Highness the Prince, so I really can’t afford to offend him. But you, Dusk City, and Danyu City are both directly governed cities, and the military and political classes are at the same level. What’s more, you are just a vanguard general, not a chief general. I am the only one.
Why should the city defense commander obey your orders?
The commander's face was not very good, he held back his curse words and said patiently: "Please, your general, please come out and discuss with me."
Lugo scolded: "Shang, your mother, get out of here. If you want to see the general, are you worthy? Tell your people to get down from the top of the city quickly, or I will beat you up."
The commander's face turned green. What's going on with the army? Can such a fragrant gangster be a vanguard general? His temper also rose, and he choked back: "Changing defenses requires an order from the military commander. Let your troops do it first.
The general will go to the city and get the transfer orders, and then we will talk about the change of defense."
"It's your uncle's, here! Brother! Climb!" Lugo took out an AK47 from the space ring without saying a word, and fired at the ground in front of the commander.
"Thud, tug, tug, tug", the muzzle fire was blazing, the 7.62mm bullets hit the ground with stone chips flying, and the huge gunshot tortured the eardrums mercilessly.
Horses are creatures that are easily affected by noise. The horses of the Death Legion have all received the modern battlefield training formulated by Kino. They dare to walk through the hail of bullets and are not afraid of the sound of guns and cannons.
However, the war horses of other legions have been trained locally. They dare to rush into battle when facing the enemy and are not afraid of arrows. That's all. When they encounter an unfamiliar modern weapon like the AK47, their animal instincts are stimulated by the sound of gunshots.
Panic out of control.
"Neigh" I saw the commander's horse neighing in panic, running and kicking, knocking the commander to the ground, and fled towards the city in embarrassment.
The commander was stunned. Before he could recover, Lugo was already laughing loudly. He held the Black Night Odachi in his left hand and the AK47 in his right hand, and swaggered into the city with the army behind him.
After entering the city, Kino showed the blank king's decree to the Danyu city defense army. The city defense army understood it and honestly changed their defenses without daring to say a word.
Then, something strange happened.
In the public perception, Kino, known as the "Twilight God of Death", has always been a decisive and resolute person. However, after the death flag was raised on the Danyu City wall, the Death Regiment did not take any action and just stationed silently on the city wall.
Therefore, everyone was doing whatever they were supposed to do, which seemed very leisurely.
Kino himself also stayed in the tent and stayed indoors. Apart from occasionally going out for a walk and stretching his muscles, he did not do anything else.
The officials of Danyu City had already imagined various situations and agreed with each other on how to deal with various emergencies after the arrival of the death-defying army. But who knew that after these people entered the city, they remained as quiet as virgins and did not move, which directly confused the officials.
.
But it is this abnormal quietness that makes people feel more and more undercurrent, doubling their psychological pressure.
In the afternoon of that day, the officials of Danyu City could no longer remain angry, and the ruling government quickly sent messengers to the military camp for contact and testing.
However, Kino closed the door and saw no one, with no intention of communicating at all, which made the officials of Danyu City even more unpredictable about his heart.
