The mercenaries had good eyesight, so they naturally recognized advanced magical arts, so they felt relieved and took the initiative to greet Downton.
On the battlefield, having one more powerful Templar will not only greatly increase the survival rate of the mercenaries, but most importantly, it will boost morale.
"If there is another fight, don't rush forward. Leave it to us. You can be responsible for the treatment."
The captain patted Downton's shoulder with a smile on his face. If he had known that he had such powerful magic, he would never have let him rush out to rescue the little Lolita. It would have been a big loss if he died.
"Um!"
After becoming a magician for nearly two years, Downton finally realized the professional advantages of being a priest. In team battles, he was the one who received the most care.
The enemy's harassment has not stopped. The kobolds and jackals cannon fodder are like rats in the ditch. With the blessing of bloodthirsty, they desperately run out of every fork in the tunnel and launch suicide attacks on the mercenaries.
When the corpses pile up, the corpse explosion technique will come again.
The leaders of the Heat and Red Sox unanimously asked the elite teams to guard the forks in advance, ordered to speed up the march, and ignore the entanglement of the cannon fodder.
After two hours of rapid march, the vanguard arrived at the exit.
boom!
The stone slab above the head was lifted, and dim light poured in.
The mercenaries wearing heavy armor filed out, holding shields and rushing to the predetermined position, setting up defense as quickly as possible.
The second batch came out of the group of lightly armored mercenaries, armed with crossbows to guard any areas where the enemy might be evacuated.
"Princess, be careful!"
Palin jumped out and reached for Sissi.
"Don't think of me as a princess, I am an adventurer like you now."
With a snap, Sissi slapped Palin's hand away, gritted her teeth and crawled out. Her violet leather armor sewn by a master was already stained with blood and minced meat, and bursts of fishy stench hit her nostrils, making her
People are nauseated.
Looking back at the exit, Sissi held back the tears. Although she said it nicely, she really didn't want to go into the cave again. The feeling was too depressing, and inside, because of the terrain,
Due to restrictions, super beasts cannot be summoned. Once in trouble, you can only rely on yourself.
"If you want to get rich, you have to endure hardships that others cannot endure." Dupont handed a cowhide water bag to Sissi, "Clean it!"
Valentine and Alonzo also rushed over to greet Sissi.
It felt good to be cared about. Sissi thanked her and glanced at Downton when no one was paying attention. She found that while he was taking care of Juliet and Twilight, he was also observing the surrounding environment and did not show any concern for her as a princess.
To show good intentions.
"I am the princess of the Lombard Empire. Shouldn't you please me? Huh, you must be playing a hard-to-get game."
Sissi has seen men who were not polite to her. However, it was later proven that those guys used this method to attract her attention.
It can be said that she has lived for so many years. Because of her identity and appearance, Sissi is always the center of attention wherever she goes, without exception.
Downton really didn't think much about it. When it came to appearance, Charlotte was the most beautiful in his heart. Dressed up like Juliet, she was just a little bit worse than Sissi. Her younger sisters Elaine and Celes were still growing, so it was difficult to judge, but
She is definitely a beauty. What's more, after meeting Di Lanxue, Sissi couldn't give him a stunning feeling.
Of course Downton had thought about hugging the princess' thigh, but he still couldn't do it if he was asked to humble himself and please Sissi.
"Let's go! Let's go!"
When the mercenaries from behind came out, Alonzo immediately urged the scouts to go on the road. This time it was their turn to lead the team first.
This is the living area of the dwarves. It is paved with criss-cross obsidian floors and is covered with thick dust due to the passage of time.
It is surrounded by neatly cut high-rise buildings in the mountains, which were hollowed out and turned into cave dwellings. If dwarves were to live there, lanterns would light up in those windows. Every night, there would be endless lights, like stars falling, but now there is only the breath of death and coldness.
of chill.
"Quick! Quick!"
With so many people, there was no way to cover up the traces, so they could only enter the sewer as quickly as possible, so the deputy leader roared and urged.
The advantage of a group leader is to have all the plans thoroughly understood before taking action. Valentine and Alonzo are undoubtedly competent. Since entering the tunnel, they have not looked at the map once, which virtually saves a lot of money.
It takes less time, and it also gives the mercenaries a feeling that everything is under control.
"From here, we have to go through seven streets and run for about 2,500 meters. After approaching the palace, we rush into the interior through the sewer."
Dupont was riding on a Pegasus, pointed at the royal city with his riding crop, and introduced Sissi.
The layout of Furnace Castle is the same as that of most human cities. The residential area is outside, guarding the palace. The palace is a small city. Even if there are no guards stationed there, it is difficult to attack from the front, so walking through the drainage channel is the best way.
Good choice.
Sissi nodded to express her understanding. She mounted her mount and could finally take a breath, but the mercenaries could still only run with their legs.
Space magic equipment is too expensive, and it is absolutely useless to buy it, so even those elite adjudicators can only look at it with dismay.
Of course, if the demon servant is a type suitable for riding, it can be done.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
More than a dozen rays of light flashed, and Downton's men released their respective mounts, and then a roar of foul language shouting "I am Emperor Polo" arose.
The mercenaries stared at these rare mounts in stunned silence, subconsciously slowing down their running steps for fear of disturbing them.
Sherman's War Bear, Fiery Nightmare, Holy Unicorn, plus Little Lolita's Void Ray, Twilight's Magic Carpet, Snowy Falcon...
"I, Di Polo, are these people too wealthy?"
Some money-sensitive mercenaries made some estimates and found that the total price of these mounts alone was already an astronomical figure.
"Go! Go! Go!"
Hutao carried the Frost Dragon Spear and switched to the War Bear. When it came to charging into battle, a heavy mount was the best.
"What's going on with these Shermans? Have you dug the tomb of the Troll Thousand-Year Empire?"
Valentine joked that as a Berserker, he fell in love with these soul mounts with red fur and thick armor at just one glance. The two ivory spikes on the shoulder armor were so overbearing that they could definitely kill the opponent's cavalry.
Stir into skewers.
"If you have others, can you sell one to me? I'll pay 30 million gold coins!"
Alonzo was not as tactful as his competitors, but directly made an offer. As a long-established dragon-slaying powerhouse and the leader of the famous Heat Mercenary Group, he was really not short of money.
"Sorry, this is not for sale!"
Downton refused. With Dupont around, his secret could not be kept.
"Fifty million!"
Valentine also made an offer. Frankly speaking, this price already has a premium of more than 10 million. It can only be higher but not lower. It is a pity that Downton has not had to sleep in the open every day and break his legs for living expenses of a few silver coins.
Forcing the common people.
"Downton, don't you have a regiment of war bear heavy cavalry? Why not sell him one?" Mueller interrupted, "It is a rare mount to others, but it is just a plaything to you."
"A war bear heavy cavalry?"
Valentine's eyes suddenly lit up and he stared at Downton.
"Can we talk about it after the adventure is completed? You can't carry tens of millions of gold coins with you anyway, right?"
Downton didn't want to sell, but he didn't want to stalemate the relationship, so he had to use delaying tactics.
"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer."
After knowing that Downton had nothing to do with Sissy, the two captains didn't take him seriously. He was just a new Duke from a third-rate country, so even if he was offended, how could he come to his own country to cause trouble? Even if he provided relief to the embassy
No matter how hard it is, people won't pay attention to him.
"Enemy attack! It's a flying unit!"
"It's a dragon!"
The scout's warning voice suddenly sounded, making the footsteps even more rapid and messy.
A two-headed flying dragon with a body length of twelve meters appeared in everyone's field of vision. In an instant, it reached the sky above the team. With a flick of its head, it sprayed out a stream of hot dragon breath.
The mercenaries opened their shields to dodge. The formation was in chaos.
Crossbow arrows shot into the sky, and there were magic counterattacks, but the attacks were too sporadic and not very lethal to the enemy.
"Don't panic, it's just a sub-dragon beast. Its strength is at the peak of the hero level, there's nothing to be afraid of." Valentine roared to calm his subordinates' emotions.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Taking advantage of the two-headed flying dragon's harassment to attract attention, the Dragon Rangers hiding in the caves showed off their power, aiming their long arrows at Sissi and her party to snipe them.
He has a rare mount and is naturally a leader. If he kills him, even if the team does not collapse, the morale of the team will plummet.
"Everyone open their shields!"
Perrin dodged the magic-breaking arrow shot from the blind corner of his field of vision and shouted.
"Everyone speed up!"
Valentine urged.
The dragons were very cunning. After noticing that they could not kill Sissi and her party, they began to kill the mercenaries, especially the captain who called for command, and was taken care of.
Seeing their subordinates being shot and killed, the two regiment leaders were extremely helpless. The Dragon Man's tactics were too clumsy.
Let the two-headed flying dragons harass you, while the dragonmen hide in the dark and attack without showing their faces at all. Due to the scattered positions, the mercenary mages cannot suppress the fire and send mercenaries to pursue them, which will definitely lead to no return.
Not to mention that we are not familiar with the terrain, there is a 100% chance that we will not be able to catch the Dragon Man. If the other party arranges some infantry to help defend, the mercenaries who attack will definitely be doomed.
The Mind Flayer had escaped, so everyone had expected that they would be attacked after entering the Forge, but they did not expect such a troublesome harassment battle.
To be honest, not many people on our side were shot to death, but the screams of the injured and the situation of being chased will greatly reduce morale.
"Princess, can you send your ghost hunter out?"
There were too few flying cavalry in the team, and it would be useless if they were dispatched, so Dupont paid attention to the princess.
"Can!"
Sissi summoned the ghost hunter, but even the super beast, which was extremely fast, was powerless against the dragon rangers who had dispersed and hid in those houses.
"Street fighting is the hardest thing to fight!"
Downton sighed, and there was no good solution. He thought of the street fights he had seen in the dream country. They were all meat grinder battles. Fortunately, the opponent did not have many shooters, otherwise his losses would have been greater.
