Volume Four Entering the Army Chapter Three The Attack Outside the Fortress
Most of the southwestern part of the empire is a semi-desert terrain. Summer has just entered, and the sun is already scorching hot here. The yellow sand is already boiling hot under the harsh light.
On the desert, some small animals appear from time to time. What these desert native tribes like most is this kind of high temperature. Several eagles soar in the sky, their ferocious eyes staring at the desert, their sharp claws flashing with cold light, and they may attack at any time.
Rush towards creatures on the ground.
At this time, a gentle vibration suddenly came from the silent desert. From far to near, the sound became clearer and clearer. The eagle raised its eyes and looked forward, and saw a huge motorcade moving towards this place quickly.
Waves of sand and fog rolled up behind.
The convoy consists of hundreds of huge grain trucks. Each grain truck is pulled by two large undead creatures. The grain truck is surrounded by a small group of troops escorting them. They are the logistics supplies sent by the Undead Empire to the Toulouse Fortress.
Team.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Asa squinted his eyes and carefully observed the grain transport brigade. There were so many trucks of supplies but only a few hundred people escorted them. It was really a piece of fat. I just didn't know if there were any thorns in this fat...
After patting the guy who got out of the car, Asa reluctantly glanced at the convoy and thought to himself: Regardless of whether there is a stab or not, report this matter to the superiors first...
After receiving the master's order, the griffin spread its wings, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and flew quickly toward the southwest.
No one noticed the eyes from the sky, and the people in the convoy were still on their way in a dusty way.
The square grain trucks were piled with grain, grass and military equipment, and there were quite a few people sitting on top of them. When I got closer, I saw that they were talented students from various major colleges.
Wiping the sweat that kept coming out of her face, Lucia turned her head and looked at Nikilak beside her. After seven days of military training, he, who was originally a bit civilized, had become a bit tough, with a faint hint of evil aura.
Feeling the gaze of the people next to her, Nilac turned his head and smiled at her. When she turned around, Lucia suddenly discovered something strange. Under such a poisonous sun, Nilac didn't even sweat at all. She couldn't help but
He asked in surprise: "Nick, aren't you hot? Why aren't you sweating at all?"
Nilac chuckled. Recently, there has been another breakthrough in Xuanyin Jue. In the past, practicing required sitting down quietly. A few days ago, he suddenly discovered that he can also practice while exercising, but he needs to be divided into two parts, making it difficult to take care of everything. But after these days,
After practicing, I began to slowly master it. I sat on the grain cart and practiced Xuanyin Jue, but I didn't feel the slightest enthusiasm.
Hearing Lucia's surprised voice, several other people in the car also looked over in surprise. Nilac spread his hands and said with a smile: "There is a saying... a calm mind will naturally cool down, so, you guys
You should learn from me and keep a normal mind at all times..." The shameless words attracted a burst of boos, but they did not continue to ask.
The grain truck is pulled by undead creatures. Although it is not very fast, it does not need to rest all day and night. When the students on the truck are tired, they can lean together and squint to rest, but the troops escorting on horseback cannot. They can run for a few days.
After falling down, even though they were all elites, they were exhausted. They still had students from the Knight Academy to replace them, otherwise the situation would be more serious.
The army captain calculated the distance and shouted to his depressed soldiers: "We are about to enter the security zone. If you don't want to die, cheer me up."
In the convoy, the leader of Nilak and his group, Mage Qiubi, also began to remind them to stay vigilant. This place was close to the Shikoku warning zone and they needed to be aware of attacks from the enemy at any time. After hearing the warning from the leader of his team, he had just accepted a few
The students who had been trained strictly in the day suddenly became energetic, and they smiled and said to each other: We need them to send military honors...
After walking for a long time, no trace of the enemy was found. Gradually, most of the students began to relax again. The leader saw this and sighed secretly. After all, he was not a real soldier...
As they walked, the cavalry captain's face gradually darkened. He waved his hand and gave a signal to the person in charge of the convoy. After receiving the signal, the undead creatures quickly stopped together. Dozens of undead creatures suddenly appeared in the sky in front of them.
There was a dark shadow, and the captain who had been here for a long time recognized it at a glance. It was the gryphon knight of the Empire of Light.
Quickly commanding his men to prepare for battle, the captain pointed to the gryphon knights in front and said to the gathered students and team leader: "Look, those are the gryphon knights of the Bright Empire. Since we don't have any aerial sniper troops, they will be scattered.
Separate and enter the security area to spy on intelligence. Generally speaking, there will only be one or two gryphon knights in one place, but there are more than ten in front of them. I suspect that there is an ambush by the Empire of Light army there."
The team leader and the students nodded thoughtfully, and Magister Kyubey said to the team leader: "You are an expert in combat. If there is anything we need to do, you can tell me." The students also looked at the leader with trusting eyes.
The captain nodded to him in agreement.
Maybe the battle will come in the next moment. The captain was not polite and took over the command. He ordered all the vehicles to form a circle to protect all the student mages inside to prevent the impact of the enemy cavalry. He also let the knights among the students and
The soldier lay on the car, ready to fight the oncoming enemies at any time. Then, he sent a few soldiers to spread out to gather information, and the others drew their swords with him and formed a defensive circle outside the convoy.
Nirak somewhat disagreed with the captain's order, but among the army, obeying orders came first. Since he agreed with the captain's command of the battle, he should obey his orders. Moreover, he and his soldiers bravely
Standing at the outermost edge of the defensive circle, leaving the most dangerous place to themselves, Nilak also shrank into the middle of the convoy.
The team leader also felt that something was inappropriate, but he didn't say anything. After all, there were more than a thousand high-level students here, including a large number of necromancers. As long as they were careful, they would never cause heavy casualties to the soldiers.
In the nervous anticipation of the students, time went slower and slower. In just a few minutes, it seemed like a whole day had passed, and big beads of sweat kept dripping. Suddenly, the soldier who went to the front to inquire sent back a signal, "There is someone there."
ambush".
Following the signal, the ambush army also realized that it had been discovered. After a while, there was a violent "dong dong dong" vibration on the ground, and the impact of the Light Empire cavalry came.
