Oru arrived at the camp first, and only then did his heavy infantry assemble. Under the illumination of the torches on the left and right, Oru narrowed his eyes and saw the figure in front of the camp in the dark night. In Oru's eyes, this figure was so proud and arrogant. He dared to stand in front of the barracks alone. This was louder than any slap in the face.
Sir felt his face burning. He grabbed a torch and threw it at the figure, shouting, "Who is it?"
The torch landed on the ground and was still extinguished. In the flames, the figure moved forward, and a short silver hair refracted the flames, burning like azure flames. Sir Oru's shocked face was reflected in his lava-like fiery pupils.
The baron couldn't help but take a step back and say, "Are you that Allen?"
They had never seen Allen before, but from the description of the commander and many rumors, they had already learned some dazzling characteristics of this opponent. For example, the rare silver short, ruby-like eyes, and the pitch-black saber that had killed Duruf.
So now that he saw Allen, Oru recognized him.
Allen didn't seem to see the tin cans behind the baron, nor did he see the horses in the camp starting to gather in this direction. "Good evening, Sir Oru," he said calmly as if he were chatting with an old friend.
Oru's mood was definitely not good. Allen being here was the greatest contempt for him and the army. Sir Oru's sensitive self-esteem was being tested the most. If it weren't for Allen killing Duruf first and then defeating Tuomen, his reputation would have spread far and wide. Otherwise, how could he restrain himself now and charge forward long ago? Now he could only calm down and say, "This night is indeed wonderful. Sir Allen's actions are indeed unexpected." Let me guess, Sir Allen must have made other arrangements nearby, but he came alone to lure us out of camp so that he could step into your trap. Am I right? "
'"Sir Oru is such a cautious man, but I can tell you that I'm the only one here right now. I have a suggestion, Sir Oru. I wonder if you dare to accept my challenge. I can guarantee that I will not leave this place until the outcome is decided. "Allen put down the saber sheath and pulled out Qianjun from it.
Oru chuckled and said, "Sir Allen is really good at joking. How can the outcome of a battle between two armies be decided by one or two people?"
His words were grand, but in fact, everyone could tell that Oru was timid. He couldn't blame him. Oru asked himself if he was stronger than Tuomen, but he was still limited and couldn't compare to Duruf. Even Sir Hungry Wolf had been killed by the youth in front of him. He would only lose face if he fought for nothing, so he simply found an excuse to refuse.
Allen suddenly stopped looking at him and looked up at the silver moon in the sky. "It seems that although the viscount's territory is large, there are very few true warriors," he said indifferently. Duruf was a character. Baron Tuomen knew that, and, but he and was and and, and, and, and the people. Apart from the two of them, I can't see a third. "
At this moment, not to mention Oru, even the heavy infantry beside him felt that they had lost face. However, their faces were hidden in their helmets, so they couldn't see their expressions. Oru's face was colorful, and in an instant, several emotions alternated. After being ridiculed by Allen in front of so many eyes, he really wished he could dig a crack in the ground to hide himself.
He snorted, "Heavy Armor Corps, leave Sir Allen behind. I'd like to see how much ransom Earl Oban is willing to pay for him. "
The heavily armored soldiers shouted in unison, but Allen laughed and said, "Since Sir Oru doesn't have the guts to accept the challenge, forgive me for not accompanying you."
After saying that, he turned around and ran.
Oru was stunned for a moment before shouting, "Bring the warhorse over. We can't let him go back!"
Even though he knew that Allen wouldn't be stupid enough to be alone, Oru believed that he wouldn't be able to pull an army over. As for the thousands of warriors on his side, if they didn't even dare to chase after him like this, they wouldn't have the face to see anyone in the future. Very quickly, the soldiers brought the warhorse over. Oru jumped onto the horse and chased after him with the Heavy Armor Corps. He didn't believe that Allen's two legs could still run faster than the four legs of the warhorse.
Just as Oru left the camp with the Heavy Armor Corps, a shout suddenly sounded from behind the camp. Lafus, who had just arrived at the entrance of the camp, could only turn back when he heard the sound. Just as he reached the middle of the camp, he was stopped by the commander under his banner.
"Sir, you can't go anywhere." The commander smiled bitterly.
"What happened?" Raffles felt that this was the most he had said tonight.
The commander frowned and said, "It's an enemy expert. They slid down the cliff on the left and launched a surprise attack. Our soldiers were caught off guard and they had already killed their way into the camp. But don't worry, I've already organized a few defensive lines to stop them. I'm preparing to mobilize troops to besiege them. "
Lafus said with a dark expression, "How many people are there?"
The commander raised three fingers.
"The three of them charged into our barracks. Could it be that our soldiers are all made of paper?" Lafus said angrily.
The commander smiled bitterly and said, "But each of them is at least as strong as you. One of them is a youth with two blades, and his strength is even more tyrannical …"
At the end of his sentence, a sharp sound of air waves piercing through the air sounded from behind the camp. Lafus raised his head and saw an azure light/Qi crossing the camp. Specks of light flickered in it, and it looked like a gathering of stars and a river of stars. That deep and vast aura, like the descent of the stars, was indeed extraordinary.
"At all costs, I want to see their corpses!" Lafus said in a deep voice.
Unfortunately, when the commander wanted to close the encirclement and trap these intruders, they were very keen. Sensing the commander's movements, he forcefully broke through the encirclement first, leaving behind only the corpses of fifty soldiers.
Although the losses weren't much, they were undoubtedly slapped Lafus in the face. What was even more unacceptable to the baron was that after these experts left, they were attacked again before dawn. This attack was made up of a force of about two hundred men. The sentries set up by the commander outside the camp were completely unguarded until the enemy touched them.
After a fierce and short battle, the other party quickly left. This time, both sides had casualties.
However, the successive attacks made all the soldiers in the camp nervous and unable to sleep peacefully. By dawn the next day, everyone was in low spirits. Lafus didn't sleep well either. He walked out of the tent and suddenly thought of Oru and his corps returning at the end of the night.
At this moment, a voice rang out from outside the camp. A soldier reported to Sir that Oru had returned. However, there were only a dozen or so people left in the Heavy Armor Legion that had returned with him. Lafus was shocked. How could he chase after a person? Oru had actually lost two-thirds of his elite strength.
When he saw Oru, Lafus could not associate the man in front of him, whose eyes were dim and his face was filled with decadence, with Oru. He and Oru walked into the tent together, and after the soldier left, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Oru smiled bitterly, and the scene of last night's life seemed to flash in front of his eyes.
The sound of hooves was like thunder, echoing in the wilderness. Although he was a little behind because of the horse, just as Oru had expected, Allen could not run faster than a warhorse in this gentle wilderness. Soon, Oru saw the figure running wildly under the moonlight.
That somewhat thin figure always gave off the feeling that he would collapse to the ground in the next moment. However, Allen kept running forward, as if his stamina was inexhaustible. Even under the pursuit of the warhorse, he still ran through the wilderness and plunged into the woods. Seeing the woods, Oru hesitated. Going deep into the woods at night, the terrain was complicated, giving Allen a chance to break through them one by one.
However, if he returned empty-handed, he would probably become the laughing stock of the other Sir. Oru gritted his teeth and was about to take the risk of entering the forest. But at this moment, Allen emerged from the forest again, and there were more than ten people behind him. They held weapons similar to guns in their hands, but they were much rougher than common guns. They were simply like small cannons that could be held in their hands.
Even though he saw that Allen's men were holding weapons that he had never seen before, he still had the advantage in numbers. Oru did not hesitate to attack. The heavy armor regiment formed an offensive formation. Dozens of warhorses charged forward together, and a dense killing intent swept out.
According to Oru's plan, as long as the heavy armor regiment could withstand the first round of attacks, once they got close to their opponent, it would be the time of Allen's death. However, what happened next completely overturned his understanding.
He only saw Allen point his heavy saber and order coldly, "Fire Missile, three rounds of coverage attacks!"
Following that, the light patterns on the surface of the rough guns flowed, and bright fireballs crossed the ground, smashing into the heavy armor regiment like a meteor shower. One after another, intense explosions completely illuminated the night sky. The scorching airflow from the explosion even blew onto Oru, who was twenty meters away from the corps. He looked in disbelief at the thirty or so fireballs. After a round of bombardment that was as dense as rain, the heavy armor fell.
The heavy armor on these elites was not broken, but there were cracks everywhere. The important thing was that the warriors in the tin cans were shocked to death. Especially the few infantry in the center of the bombardment, their corpses were even burned beyond recognition by the flames. Only half of the infantry in the outer circle were injured and not dead. However, as three spots of light quietly appeared on the ground, three black and red pillars of fire rushed up in succession, sending a dozen or so infantry who happened to be on the spots of light flying.
When they and their horses landed on the ground, they had already turned into corpses.
Sir Oru could not believe that the heavy armor regiment that he had painstakingly built had been eaten by the other party in just a few moves. He gathered the rest of the soldiers in fear and didn't dare to attack again. He could only return to the camp with his tail between his legs.
"That's how it is." Oru said dejectedly, "Those strange firearms, I dare to swear that the improved rifles of the regular army of the empire do not have such power. And strangely enough, when those firearms fired fireballs, I could clearly feel the fluctuations of Origin Energy. "
'"You mean, those are weapons that can drive Origin Energy?" Lafus said from ear to ear. Even the weapons workshop of the empire can't make such weapons, right? "
"I don't know, but I know one thing. The next time we meet them, don't charge rashly. Otherwise, we will face a firepower threat comparable to that of artillery. "
Lafus nodded heavily and comforted Oru a few more words before leaving.
The army set off in an hour. The march was smooth, but when they passed through a mountain path that they had to pass through to Sunset City, the army had no choice but to stop. What stopped the army was the pile of rubble, broken trees, and tons of gravel in front of them. This pile of obstacles was as big as a small hill, blocking the entrance to the mountain path just like that, making Lafus' face as ugly as it could be.
Needless to say, he knew that this pile of obstacles in front of him was a gift from Allen. Of course, the army could bypass this mountain path, take a detour through a forest not far away, and head for Sunset City from another direction. However, in this way, it would take four or five more days. If that was all, then it would be fine. Just thinking about how Allen and his men attacked the camp again and again last night, they knew that once they entered the forest, they would give the other party a chance to fight flexibly.
After discussing with Oru, Lafus decided to rest here for the time being and have the soldiers clear the obstacles. They could be considered to have become frightened birds, especially Oru. The loss of the Heavy Armor Corps last night had scared him. He would rather spend more effort than divert through the forest and give Allen a chance to sneak attack.
Until evening, most of the obstacles had been cleared. From the looks of it, it would probably be cleaned up tomorrow morning. After a day like this, the soldiers were tired and thirsty. Many of the soldiers' lips were already dry and cracked. If this continued, without water to drink, the soldiers probably wouldn't even have the strength to fight. Lafus had no choice but to send someone to look for water nearby. Fortunately, there was a small river that flowed out of the forest. Although the amount of water drawn each time was limited, it also delayed the crisis of water shortage for the army.
At night, the two Sir increased their vigil. More soldiers were arranged to be on duty at night, and they focused on protecting their remaining food, afraid that Allen would burn it again. After half the night, seeing that everything was calm, the two Sir rested at ease. But not long after lying down, Lafus smelled a choking smell of smoke. He opened his eyes and saw a patch of gray smoke flowing through the ground of the tent.
The Sir thought that there was a fire in the barracks and hurriedly got out of the tent. However, under the night sky, there was no obvious fire in the camp. Instead, a large amount of thick smoke rolled over from the front and spread through the entire barracks. The soldiers were unable to sleep and coughed everywhere. The smoke grew bigger and bigger, and the visibility in the camp decreased by a lot. People didn't dare to speak loudly in fear of inhaling too much smoke.
Lafus covered his mouth with a handkerchief and shouted vaguely, "Go get the commander!"
As soon as the order was given, a large number of people sounded from behind the camp, causing Lafus' heart to sink. He knew that it was definitely another attack by Allen.
