In the woods, twenty-five squadron captains, including those who had not become construct knights, gathered together. There were also four captains, including Viscount Emmett, and they looked at Surdak in surprise.
Notes.
The atmosphere in the woods became somewhat solid for a while.
The ordinary knights who were resting in the forest also felt that something was happening here, and they gathered from the surrounding trees.
Whether it was the Constructed Knights who stayed or the Constructed Knights who had won the 'departure' lottery, almost everyone looked at Surdak with complicated eyes, so that the scene was a little quiet, and the wind could be heard blowing the leaves in the forest.
There was a rustling sound, and occasionally one or two wails of hell dogs could be heard in the distance, which sounded a bit creepy.
There is no doubt that everyone hopes that the Knight of Surdak can join their camp.
For the guard battalion headquarters responsible for containing the hell dogs in some small towns, Surdak's staying seems to be more useful. After all, Surdak, who possesses the power of the Holy Light, can restore the injured knight's combat effectiveness as quickly as possible.
, the guard camp is about to face a tough battle, and this battle is destined to have casualties. If Surdak can stay, the lives of many injured knights will be protected, and the fighting situation will be very different.
For the reconnaissance team, Surdak not only has a powerful primary top-level magic pattern armor, but is also a veteran with rich combat experience. He is also the last guarantee for several members at critical times, so of course everyone also hopes that Surdak
Ken can stay in the reconnaissance team.
But it is obvious that the impact that Surdak can play by joining the reconnaissance team is definitely not as great as staying.
“Captain, let Knight Surdak stay!” a knight in the crowd shouted.

Someone in the crowd took the lead in speaking, and naturally others echoed: "Yes, yes!"
But there are also many knights who choose to remain silent. After all, it is decided by drawing lots. This is the fairest to everyone. If Surdak stays, those squadron leaders who won the "stay" lottery will have to draw another round.
, this was a bit embarrassing for them, but at this time they did not come forward and were willing to participate in the investigation mission for Suldak.
So everyone focused their attention on Viscount Emmett, who was the supreme commander of the guard battalion and had veto power.
Viscount Emmett hesitated for a moment. He looked at Surdak and slowly asked: "Knight Surdak, I want to know what you think."
Suldak glanced around and saw that the surroundings were filled with knights who were paying close attention to this place.
Humility, honor, sacrifice, heroism, compassion, honesty, justice, and spirit are the basic qualities that knights need to possess. But today, few knights in the guard camp still insist on practicing these, at least they need to make self-sacrifice.
At that time, there were not many knights who had the courage to stand up. After all, only by living can you enjoy a luxurious life.
Suldak said to Viscount Emmett in a firm tone: "Since the choice of the Wheel of Fortune, then I want to join the investigation team."
Viscount Emmett felt relieved when he heard what Suldak said.
“Is this what you really think?” Viscount Emmet asked Suldak seriously.
Such a choice indeed avoided a lot of unnecessary trouble, but he needed to know whether this was what Surdak had in mind.
Suldak said again: "Yes, Viscount Emmett."
Viscount Emmett took a step forward, patted Suldak on the shoulder with great pleasure, and said to Surdak: "Very good, I appreciate your courage and choice very much. If we have the chance to be together again in the future,
When I return to Helensa City, I hope to see you at the manor dance!"
Viscount Emmett said this as a disguised affirmation of Suldak.
Suldak quickly said: "It's an honor, Your Excellency, Viscount."
Since it was Surdak's own choice, of course the other knights in the guard camp couldn't say anything more.
At this moment, a lithe figure jumped in front of Viscount Emmet, looking at Viscount Emmet with a pair of light red eyes. Her long legs immediately attracted the attention of many knights, and she was carrying a
The forest bow and quiver also make her very eye-catching among the knights.
Viscount Emmett knew that this half-elf archer guide was a newly recruited member of the security team of Surdak. She had just led everyone to climb a steep mountain wall to this forest, so he decided to give Sa
Mira got a chance to speak.
Viscount Emmett pursed his lips and stared at Samira.
“Viscount Emmett, I want to join the investigation team.” Samira said to Viscount Emmett.
As soon as Samira's voice fell, a rich voice sounded at the right time: "I also want to join the investigation team!"
The speaker was the indigenous warrior Andrew. He was trying to squeeze from the outermost edge towards the center of the crowd. In order for everyone to notice him, he even raised one hand high, with a thick bandage wrapped around his arm.
In the eyes of the guard camp knights, those bandages were so dazzling.
Viscount Emmett hesitated and wanted to refuse immediately, but he decided to give them a chance, so he said: "Tell me your reasons. If you can give me a reason that I can't refuse, I will consider agreeing to you!
"
There is indeed a need for such brave voices in the guard camp. Although Viscount Emmett will not agree, he also hopes that the knights under him can stand up and stand up. However, what makes Viscount Emmett a little disappointed is that, except for Samira
Apart from Andrew, no knight has such courage.
At this time, Viscount Emmett could only sigh secretly in his heart, and then he looked at Samira again.
Samira raised her fair neck, her light red eyes filled with a touch of pride, or it could be said to be a kind of ridicule.
She glanced at the knights around her and said softly: "I am very familiar with the small town of Meijin. I know the most remote road and can lead everyone to sneak into the town quietly."
Her sweet voice always seemed so incompatible with her cold appearance.
“You have successfully convinced me. Welcome to join me, Archer, and say your name.” Viscount Emmett said.
Viscount Emmett nodded to Samira in affirmation.
“Samira.” The half-elf archer replied succinctly.
“What about you? Warrior, what’s your reason?”
Viscount Emmett asked the indigenous warriors in order to show his fairness.
Although Andrew looked a bit rough in appearance, his mind was extremely delicate. He took a step forward and said loudly to Viscount Emmett: "This is the gathering place of our Nanai tribe. Originally, most of the people living in this town were my tribe.
We Nanai people have special symbols and marks, and I want to go in and see if there are any survivors in the town, and maybe I can find some clues that others can't find."
Viscount Emmett sighed in his heart: These two people joined the Hellanza Guard Camp with his approval yesterday. At that time, he still couldn't understand Surdak's choice. Usually the knights in the guard camp have the signature of Hellanza on them.
Brand, but these two are obviously residents of Wozhimara City, and logically speaking, they are not qualified to join the guard camp. But after all, it was Surdak who chose the members of his own security team, and Karl came forward to intercede, Emmett
The Viscount nodded readily and agreed.
It seems that Suldak was really discerning yesterday, and I don’t know how correct his choice was.
Viscount Emmett looked at Andrew seriously again and said to him: "Well, I can't refuse this reason. Soldier, let me introduce myself to everyone."
“Nanai warrior Andrew Suldak is my captain.”
Andrew showed no stage fright at all, he puffed up his chest and said to the knights around him.
…
The commanders of the three guard battalions also need to study which guard battalion to choose as a battlefield to entertain the hell dogs on the outskirts of the town.
At least this battlefield must be easy to defend, difficult to attack, and easy to retreat. The main force must do its best to contain the hell dogs in the town to create more opportunities for the reconnaissance team. At the same time, the knights of the guard camp must be able to evacuate from the battlefield easily.
Of course, the guard camp can set up some traps and animal traps in the jungle in advance, and can also use the surrounding woods to encircle a battlefield.
This time the guard camp came well prepared. Not only did they bring a large amount of supplies, they also brought many auxiliary tools. There are also some very professional hunters in the guard camp who are very good at jungle hunting.
Fifteen hundred knights from the guard camp cannot hide in this forest for too long, and it may not take long for the vicious dogs of hell to discover their whereabouts.
In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, the night reconnaissance team must enter the town of Meijin, so the battlefield here must be determined before that, and the battlefield needs to be located around the town of Meizu, and it must not be too far, otherwise the hell dogs near the town will
If you don't want to attack, it will be embarrassing.
This time Samira’s proposal once again helped the three guard battalion commanders make a decision.
It is the top point where the two mountains meet. The mountain reaches here and forms a trumpet-shaped battlefield. However, it is covered by a dense forest. If you just look outside, you cannot find the trumpet-shaped terrain here.
Only a small number of troops are needed to guard the entrance of the valley to block the attack of the hell dogs.
However, this battlefield still needs to be arranged. After all, those hell dogs can easily climb up the city wall more than 20 meters high. So the guard battalions of the three cities gathered together at this time and began to arrange on both sides of the battlefield.
There are a large number of traps and wild animal traps, and even some parasitic vines hanging from the top of the trees are criss-crossed to weave a large net nearly a hundred meters long.
Before sunset, the knights of the guard camp finally prepared everything, and the knights also took a rest in the woodland.
At dinner, Andrew not only ate some batter-like marching rations, but also ate canned luncheon meat that was full of aroma. It was so delicious.
…
As night falls, the Hell Hounds around Meijin Town gradually begin to quiet down. They seem to have not adapted to the night in the Maca Plane. In other words, the laws of the world during the night in the Maca Plane have the greatest impact on the Hell Hounds, so
They prefer to hibernate at night.
A team of knights quietly approached the town of Maca under the cover of night. This was a team of ordinary knights holding standard military crossbows. They were well-trained. After rushing out of the forest, they were covered by low shrubs.
Keep getting closer to the hellhounds.
There are about thirty people in this knight squad, headed by a squadron leader from Pulux City.
The hell dogs guarding the entrance to Meijin Town are the most densely packed. At this time, they are almost all lying on the ground with their eyes half closed. The hell dogs are used to putting one ear on the ground when resting. Their ears are very sensitive and can
Hearing a faint sound in the distance, when the knight team stepped into the wild grassland outside the town of Meijin, hundreds of hell dogs opened their dark purple eyes at the same time.
Hell Hounds have natural dark lava patterns on their bodies. When their skin is scratched, they can even drip some hot lava. In dry places, Hell Hounds can even easily cause fires, so at night,
Their bodies are like brightly colored targets. Even from a distance, you can see the flickering bodies of hell dogs.
The squadron leader saw that the body of the hell dog in the distance suddenly became brighter. He immediately stopped vigilantly and raised his hand to signal the knights following him not to get closer to the small town of Meizu. Thirty knights stood on the grassland.
On the dirt slope, at the same time, he held the standard repeating crossbow on his back in his hand, aimed at the hell dog in the distance and fired a round.
Dozens of crossbow arrows pierced the night sky, making a subtle sound of piercing the air.
The Hell Dog lying at the entrance of the town stood up alertly and looked out of the town. Suddenly, a rain of arrows came towards him. Some of the Hell Dogs near the periphery fell after being struck by arrows. The Hell Dog at the entrance of the town fell down.
They let out a dull roar, and hundreds of hell dogs pounced on the grassland outside the town. They roared continuously, and the hell dogs around the town responded one after another.
The hellhound roared rapidly, and the squadron leader saw countless lights suddenly appearing in the night. Those light spots were almost connected into one, like fireflies flying all over the sky.
“Withdraw!”
The squadron leader yelled at his Plex Knight, and before the remaining two crossbow arrows in the arrow trough were empty, he turned around with the standard repeating crossbow and ran towards the road he came from.
A group of knights ran as hard as they could in the night, but their speed was still not as fast as the hell dogs. Seeing that the hell dogs that were catching up behind them crossed the grassland and caught up behind the knights, the claws of the hell dogs at the front suddenly swung.
Tightly, a noose encircled its hind legs, and then the tight noose erupted with a huge pulling force, instantly hanging the vicious hell dog in mid-air.
At the same time, almost two dozen hell dogs were hung high by similar ropes, and at the edge of the woods, the howls and howls of the hell dogs were heard in unison.
More hell dogs around the town of Meijin rushed towards this side, and for a while the grassland was filled with flowing light.
A large number of hell dogs poured into the woods, and dozens of huge wooden rafts covered with wooden thorns fell down from the top of the trees. Several hell dogs were slapped below. The hell dogs behind were blocked and ran away to both sides.
The knights took the opportunity to flee forward.
There are various animal traps scattered throughout this forest. From time to time, some hell dogs step on the animal traps. However, these animal traps can be used to deal with ordinary beasts, but don't try to break the legs of the hell dogs. They weigh more than ten kilograms.
The animal trap is hung on the leg, and the hell dog runs with a clanking sound.
Teams of knights constantly appeared in the forest to respond. They were responsible for activating the traps they set, and then quickly retreated along with the other knights.
…
Suldak followed Viscount Emmett and quietly passed through the side of the hell dogs.
When some hellhounds passed by the reconnaissance team, they looked suspiciously at where the reconnaissance team was hiding, but they couldn't see anything, so they followed the large group of vicious dogs with a 'whimper'.
Suldak's over-numbered Hellanza Guard Battalion reconnaissance team carefully bypassed the vicious dogs that rushed out of the town and headed towards the town in the opposite direction.
