When the first ray of sunlight shone on the north city wall, Samira felt the temperature of the sun and woke up from the control position of the crossbow.
Last night, she squatted on the bed and stared at the crossbow control position for most of the night, until Deputy Commander Chester ran under the city wall and taught the cavalry basic combat skills.
Only then did Samira's tense heartstrings relax.
With such a second-level great swordsman by his side, those cavalrymen would not be in much trouble no matter how reckless they were.
Samira wrapped her body in a cloak and curled up on the chair at the crossbow control position on the bed to sleep for a while. Perhaps she was a little tired these past few days, or she felt the intoxicating breeze in the canyon and listened to the roars of the monsters.
On the contrary, she felt much more at ease, and she felt like she had had a long dream.
When she woke up, she felt the bright sunshine. She stood up from the control chair, pushed hard with one arm, turned over and stood on the bed, stretched her arms and stretched.
The fighting under the north city wall has subsided, and the torches under the north city wall have also been extinguished, with a wisp of green smoke still rising from some of the torches.
The battle last night left a mess under the northern city wall.
Many grasslands have been destroyed, and there are more monsters surrounding the north city wall than yesterday. Some of them are hiding in the grass, some are looking for a breakthrough around the north wall, and some monsters are hiding in the canyons.
In the woods at the foot of the mountains on both sides.
If this group of monsters wants to pass through the Duodan Canyon, they must cross the northern city wall.
Now that the northern city wall is full of city defense guards, it is impossible to let these monsters rush into the occupied area and threaten the people living here.
…
Samira walked down the city wall and came face to face with a group of city defenders who were preparing to change defenses.
When these guards saw Samira approaching, they immediately stood on the edge of the steps and stepped out of the way to let Samira walk past first.
When they looked at Samira, there was a kind of admiration in their eyes.
Samira has been guarding the city for the past few days. She has taught these city guards a lot of archery skills, and asked them to predict the wind speed, the running speed of the monsters and the trajectory of the arrow during flight. Only these three points can be used.
Only by taking this into consideration can it be possible to shoot the monsters under the city.
The guards in the city defense brigade are basically on military service, and they have no income.
City defenders who come from ordinary families usually have cleaner pockets than their faces.
Although these guards have food and accommodation in the city defense brigade, they occasionally have the opportunity to go to the shopping street of Dodan Town. When they see the dazzling array of goods on the street, they also have some desire to shop, but most of them just look through the windows.
Eyes, even if you want to buy it, you can't afford it.
Among these guards, except for some young people who came here from the Green Empire to serve in the army, they are basically young people from the aborigines. Everyone is used to living a hard life, so they don't think there is anything wrong with such a life.
.
In recent days, before the beast tide comes, a large number of monsters have gathered under the city wall to ensure the safety of the hunters and cavalry who go out to hunt monsters.
Commander Surdak ordered that when the monsters enter the range of the crossbow, the guards on the city can use the crossbow to kill them. The prey killed will also depend on the situation, but the guards on the city will be more or less
Everyone can get a little bit of it.
The guards were able to use bed crossbows to kill the monsters in the city. This was due to Samira's on-site guidance. Now these guards almost all made some money.
They even had some expectations that it would be best if such days could continue.
His respect for Samira turned into worship.
You will hear people talking all day long. Captain Samira in the cavalry camp hunted three moon blade fire wolves yesterday. When the mercenary group under the city wall brought up the wolf heads, no one even looked at it...
…
Samira passed through the blood-stained city gate fence, and the blood of the monster made the ground appear black and purple.
The air was filled with a faint smell of blood. The sharp claws of some monsters had made deep marks on the wall. There were also some traces of fire on the vaulted ceiling. The cavalry were leaning against the wall in the doorway and sitting in a row.
Row.
1. Exhausted from the night's battle, they were laughing and drinking hot water.
On the other side of the doorway of the city wall were piles of corpses of some maned beasts, including a large black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros. The results of these battles would be converted into silver coins and recorded in a book.
Some members of the mercenary group slowly walked through the city gate with weapons on their backs.
They seemed cautious and did not even dare to make loud noises in the city gate.
Since they also needed the city defense guards to control the crossbows and deter the monsters under the city walls, the violent tempers of these mercenaries were much restrained.
Surdak was giving basic treatment to several injured cavalry in the city gate, cleaning the wounds, healing them with Holy Light, and suturing them with cotton thread.
When treating wounded soldiers recently, Surdak likes to use the Holy Light Torch. No matter in any dark place, as long as a trace of sacred breath is injected into the Holy Light Torch, the torch will immediately burn and emit a warm light.
.
Swordsman Chester also sat with these cavalrymen. Seeing Suldak's meticulous treatment of the cavalry's injuries, Swordsman Chester discovered that Marquis Luther's gaze was really accurate.
Suldak ran over to greet him and immediately started the treatment work.
Swordsman Chester is giving some knowledge to a cavalryman who has just been promoted to the first rank.
The cavalryman seemed a little excited and told the great swordsman Chester about his troubled life.
He is a veteran who followed Surdak out of the deserted land. He had injured his leg during his military service.
He was also considered a very lucky person. His term of service had expired at that time, so he retired due to injury and returned to his hometown in a deserted land. However, after the injury healed, his injured leg has always been somewhat difficult to walk. He originally wanted to return to his hometown.
Marry two wives and have two children, and your life may be a little poorer, but as long as you can live on... you can live like this until you grow old.
He didn't expect that the desolate land could be so barren. When he was alone, he thought it was nothing. But after he married his wife and gave birth to a child, his thoughts were completely different.
This time I joined the cavalry battalion just because I wanted to make some money.
I didn't expect that I would gain so much. Not only did my old injuries heal, but my strength returned to its ninth level peak.
Before dawn, watching the battle of the Great Swordsman of Chester hunting the Ice Horned Rhinoceros, he actually had some unspeakable feelings in his heart.
I just felt that some kind of power rushed out of my body and condensed into the shadow of a black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros behind me.
He was like a moth breaking out of a cocoon, breaking through some kind of restraint in his body, and he could clearly feel the surging power behind him.
Swordsman Chester gave him some pointers. The cavalryman was surrounded by his companions. He was a little incoherent and was talking about his truest feelings after breaking through.
…
Samira squatted beside Surdak without saying a word, helping him apply a hemostatic bandage to a cavalryman.
Surdak asked about the situation in the canyon. When he heard that there were more and more monsters, his expression became solemn.
Seeing Aung San carrying a bow and arrows and a group of aborigines wearing simple leather armor walking from the town, Surdak waved Aung San over and asked him:
"There are so many monsters gathered outside, why do you still want to run out?"
A group of Aboriginal people were waiting nearby.
Aung San came over with a spear in his hand, grinned and said:
"You have to try it!"
He looked back at the group of companions behind him and said to Suldak:
"They think that with the support of the bed crossbows on the north city wall, they should have a chance to hunt some bristle beasts. We can't kill them, but there are many ways to lure them over. We can hunt while we can,
Always stock up on extra.”
Surdak also knew that the aboriginal people were living a difficult life in Dodan Town, so he asked:
"Are you ready to say hello from the other side of the city wall?"
Aung San smiled proudly and admitted: "Well, our nephew is on duty at the top of the city."
Surdak waved his hand and muttered: "Then pay attention to safety and don't always gamble with your life."
When Aung San saw that Surdak had no intention of blaming him, he immediately straightened his back and said happily:
"I understand, Lord Surdak."
Then he led a group of aboriginal hunters and quickly walked out of the city gate.
…
Swordsman Chester sat aside and heard the conversation between Suldak and a group of aborigines. He was actually worried that the aborigines would be in danger if they went out at this time.
The surrounding cavalry also looked unsurprised, looked at Surdak in surprise, and said to him:
"You are different from other commanders."
Suldak finished the work in hand, put the hemostatic bandage in his pocket, stood up and looked at the Great Swordsman Chester.
Swordsman Chester said: "You actually care about the local indigenous people."
Suldak lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "The land here became the territory of the Green Empire, and the aboriginal people here became the subjects of Emperor Charles the Great and Grand Duke Newman. They live in the small town of Dodan. I
I think it's my responsibility to keep them safe."
"This is indeed the truth, and the other people you mentioned also understand it." Great Swordsman Chester said.
He stroked the broad-bladed sword with one hand and continued:
"But in the Green Empire, many commanders attach great importance to the blood of the empire. They are arrogant in their bones. They talk about blood, inheritance, and clan. They reject everything outside the empire. Facing the aborigines living in these occupied areas,
They cannot treat everyone equally, so in many plane areas, the exploitation of local indigenous people always happens frequently."
"Many small problems accumulate together and slowly build up into public grievances, which will eventually lead to some wars."
"The resistance war launched by the aborigines and the local indigenous tribes has always been the main war that we, the Lord Legion, quelled. Now that the Dark Legion has invaded various planes, no one has paid attention to these contradictions."
"But it does not mean that these contradictions have completely disappeared. When these contradictions accumulate to a certain extent, they will erupt again."
"This is also when I was fighting the demons in the Wala Valley of the Kenda plane. I saw many foreign knights in the Mo army, as well as a group of dwarf warriors and elf archers, and I got some understanding of the multi-racial mixed army."
Great Swordsman Chester stood up, put his arm around Suldak's shoulders, and walked with him through the doorway of the city wall towards the military camp.
Surdak had rarely heard anything about demons, so he asked curiously:
"Great Swordsman Chester, have you ever seen a real demon?"
"Yeah!" Great Swordsman Chester replied.
"What do they look like?" Surdak asked curiously.
Great Swordsman Chester said with some bitterness: "Those are indeed not good memories. Demons are similar to humans and elves. Demons have strong bodies. Like elves, they are born with the ability to master magic. Just like elves,
Close to nature, the magicians controlled by the demons are chaos and curse."
"Every demon has a devil's horn on its head, and that devil's horn is the source of their power."
"We lost a lot of people in that battle. It was the most brutal battle in recent years. A grand duke was seriously injured as a result, but it was those people who allowed us to see what the real Construct Knights are."
"The group of Construct Knights riding black-scaled horses made me see the ceiling of the Construct Knights."
"If they dare to stand up and challenge our Constructed Swordsmen in a duel, they may not be as good as us Constructed Swordsmen, but ten of them together can probably compete with our ten Constructed Swordsmen.
.”
"If five hundred people get together, even if we have a thousand constructed swordsmen, it will probably be difficult to defeat them."
Swordsman Chester and Suldak chatted familiarly, like old friends they had known for a long time, and then they returned to the military camp together.
…
Accompanied by Suldak and a group of squadron captains, the Great Swordsman of Chester had a hearty breakfast.
Then, the Great Swordsman of Chester called over the seventeen squadron captains who were part of the mixed reinforcement team, and said to them in the military camp conference room: "This is Baron Surdak, the commander of the Dodan Town garrison.
During the period of resisting the Invercargill beast tide, all of you must obey the command of Baron Suldak."
"Yes, Commander Chester." A group of squadron leaders replied in unison.
Although they were a little unfamiliar with Surdak, they had some rumors about this cavalry battalion commander.
Now Surdak was standing in front of them. Seventeen pairs of eyes fell on Surdak at the same time, carefully looking at Surdak from top to bottom.
Surdak stood next to the great swordsman of Chester, feeling a little nervous. He could only bite the bullet and said: "Thank you all for going to Duodan Town to assist the independent cavalry battalion in resisting the ghost-marked red ants before the beast tide came. Others
I don’t want to say more, I just hope that if we are stationed here, we can block the footsteps of those ghost-striped red ants from invading south. Please support me..."
