Chapter 98 Take Me Home
It was already noon, but the dense clouds made the Bloody Highlands look particularly solemn.
The early wind swept across the earth, carrying snow foam and dust, rustling and whimpering like ghosts, but it could not cover up the noise——
Shouts, curses, and the clash of swords , the sound of corpses falling to the ground, the neighing of war horses...
These sounds are chaotic but clear. Against the background of the low exhalation of people before death, they form a cruel movement.
The land that should have been white was soaked in blood, melted, and then solidified into dark red ice. Broken armor, ragged cloth strips, broken blades, damaged limbs, and deformed internal organs were all spread on it, forming this scene. War scroll background.
The battle continues.
The horse thieves who dismounted and fought on foot compressed the Eagle Army to a corner, while the Eagle Army formed a circular formation around the remaining packhorse city wall and carried out the final resistance.
Vesdon was also one of them. His lips were pale, his face was stained with dirty blood, and his expression could not be seen.
He waved the long sword in his hand, which almost turned into an iron bar, to deflect the oncoming slashes, and was suddenly hit by a cold arrow. He was shaking and about to fall down.
"Hold on..." Simon's voice sounded from the side, pressing his shoulder against Vesdon's body.
Although he supported Vesdon, Simon himself inevitably showed flaws.
A horse thief saw the opportunity and slashed with a sharp knife, breaking the outer layer of the leather armor on Simon's shoulder and cutting a bloody wound.
Simon frowned slightly and let out a muffled grunt. The long sword in his hand was wrapped with a barely visible light blue fighting spirit and he stepped forward. He wanted to stab the horse thief in the chest, but he was swung by another horse thief. Knock down.
With a clang, the long sword fell to the ground, and at the same time, another horse thief's spear pierced Simon's throat.
You can't hide because there are comrades behind you.
Without any hesitation, Simon raised his arms in front of him.
The gun blade penetrated his arm and exploded with blood. However, it was also deflected and stabbed into his shoulder.
The spear was withdrawn and blood gushed out.
Also flowed away with the blood was Simon's strength. If he hadn't been close to Vesdon, he might not even be able to stand still.
"I'm sorry..." Weston struck with a slash, his voice weak and low.
“What?” Simon didn’t understand.
Vesdon's voice became lower and lower: "...I shouldn't have hit you at the beginning."
Between life and death, the boundaries between nobles and commoners are no longer clear.
"...I forgot..." Simon picked up a scimitar with his toes and brought it to his hand.
"Really...that's good..." Vesdon looked at the sky in the distance and suddenly thought of home.
"Ah——"
A scream was heard not far away. Vesdon turned his head and saw that while Mosingan was crushing the head of a horse thief, he was also being killed. A sharp scimitar cut open the abdomen, and the intestines flowed out.
Despite this, Mosingan still cut off the horse thief's head with one sword, roaring and fighting fiercely without retreating.
No one could survive such serious injuries.
Mosingan is dying.
There was a sound of wind in his ears. Vesdon turned his face and saw the oncoming long knife.
He wanted to block with his sword, but he couldn't raise his arm anyway.
Finally... are you going to die?
The blade got closer and closer, and then, it stopped on the face.
A hallucination before death?
No, it’s not an illusion.
The sound of horse hooves reached the ears, and there was a brief pause on the battlefield. Everyone's eyes focused on the direction of the horses' hooves.
On the gloomy land, a team of thin men and horses were galloping towards them. The dark clouds in the sky were fading away, and the sun was chasing after this team of men and horses.
This group of cavalry is getting closer and closer to the battlefield, and the sun is getting closer and closer to this group of cavalry.
Until the darkness subsided and the midday sun shone on the cavalry, the leader tightened the reins and stood up immediately, holding up a dirty head:
"The Sand King is dead!"
In behind him, More than ten people shouted loudly:
"The Sand King is dead!!!"
Eugene, who was fighting with others, turned around, and when he saw the head, his pupils suddenly shrank. It was the size of a pinhead, and my heart was shocked.
Heleti... actually... died! ?
He was not the only horse thief who could see this scene.
Fear begins to take root in everyone's heart!
Eugene raised his visor and roared loudly:
"Kill!! Revenge for Lord Heleti!!"
Raven's face was expressionless, but cold anger burned in his eyes.
Stubborn resistance? very good!
He is not going to let any of these horse thieves go!
"The Guards Camp, the Eagle Army, obey the order!"
"Yes! Lord Baron!" Volaf and others responded loudly.
"Here!!!" On the other end, the Eagle Army responded enthusiastically!
“Attack——
Leave no one behind!!!”
With this order given, Volav no longer had to suppress the anger in his chest and leveled his sword. , the horse gallops wildly!
I have known for a long time that the Eagle Army suffered heavy losses, but the casualties were just simple numbers on the paperwork, but they were a bloody reality in front of them.
He had already seen the battlefield traces of the battle between the vanguard army and Helaidi, but he had no time to stop and collect the corpses of his comrades. Now this real battlefield was even more cruel.
There are corpses of the Eagle Army everywhere. Some are dead and wounded several times, but they still maintain an offensive posture; some fell to the ground, twisted under the trampling of horse hooves, with unwillingness on their faces. The look on his face; there are even some who clearly fought to the death, but still had insulting wounds on their bodies that seemed to vent their anger!
“Kill——”
Vlav’s prancing horse rushed into the formation of the horse thieves. The half-monster-like war horse raised its hooves and kicked the horse thieves’ back who had not yet turned around. The horse's hoof with its big mouth was like two heavy hammers under the support of the hoof. It trampled two deep holes into the horse thief's back. When it was thrown away, the blood and internal organs spurted from the mouth and nose were splashed. And out.
He swung the long sword in his hand and rushed towards the neck of a horse thief. The horse thief was already prepared and had raised his shield to block.
Even though the horse power has stopped for a while, even though the fighting spirit has been exhausted, Volaf's sword is full of the weight of anger!
With a click, the sword blade struck the shield, shaking immediately. The shield could not withstand the force of the blow, cracked a gap, and then collapsed!
"Ah——"
The flying wooden thorn first scratched the horse thief's face, and then the long sword that followed suddenly plunged into the back of his neck.
After a long battle, this long sword has begun to become less sharp. The sword that was supposed to be the owl's head failed to break through the interception of the bone. Instead, it flew upwards along the horse thief's skull. It was half tearing and half cutting, causing the flesh and blood of half of the horse thief's head to fly away. The blood was splashed, leaving only half of the bloody skeleton!
A horse thief next to him saw this scene, his eyes widened, his mouth opened and he screamed:
"Uhhh...uhhhh!!!"
Screaming wildly In the middle, run wildly! ! Already scared out of his mind! !
With the arrival of reinforcements, the Eagle Army also burst out with a strong fighting spirit. After being beaten passively for two consecutive days, they finally got their revenge at this moment! !
"Die-!!!"
A soldier named Bobby roared ferociously, thrust out his spear, and plunged it into the abdomen of the horse thief in front of him!
The horse thief let out a shrill scream, but he also burst out with his final strength. He waved the scimitar in his hand to cut off the barrel of the gun, and charged forward with a howl!
Bobby didn't feel any fear at all. He picked up a long sword with a gap from the ground and slashed it forward. With a clang, the swords collided and burst into flames. Both sides retreated at the same time. Take one step, and then rush forward crazily at the same time!
“Drink, drink, drink!!!”
With his mouth wide open, Bobby let out a roar that almost tore his vocal cords apart, and kept hitting the sword in his hand like a hammer!
After the sixth collision, the swords broke at the same time, and the broken blade rose into the sky, but Bobby didn't care and rushed forward again, the broken sword pierced the opponent's throat, and a fountain of blood exploded, and the horse thief also Falling to the ground, Bobby seemed not to notice and continued to stab wildly until the opponent's head was separated from the body. Then he picked up another weapon and strode forward! !
“Kill——”
The cry of killing was quickly drowned in the battlefield, but the liquidation of the horse thieves has not stopped yet.
Link wielded the enchanted half sword and cut off the shoulder of the horse thief in front of him. As blood flew, before Link could stop his strength, a spear was stabbed from the right. Link seemed not to have any When he saw it, he turned around and let the spear pierce his shoulder.
The spear broke through the leather armor and penetrated into the flesh, and the stinging pain made Link's face become particularly ferocious. He held the gun barrel with his left hand, and the raging fighting energy spurted out and ignited the gun barrel. The flames spread all the way and enveloped the horse thief.
A shrill scream broke out from the horse thief's mouth, but he was immediately stabbed into the mouth with a sword and ended his life!
“Come on——!!!”
Link pulled out the spear on his shoulder and roared to the sky, like the cry of a wounded beast.
The Eagle Army and the soldiers attacked from both sides, causing the already low morale of the horse thieves to quickly fall into a rout, while Nancy and Margaret also showed off their talents.
Nancy no longer chants large-scale destructive spells, and occasionally fireballs will fall on the most critical nodes.
Margaret is even more at home in this environment. She doesn’t have to do much. She only needs to use the power of her curse to turn into a crow, distracting the horse thieves who are extremely nervous. Naturally, they will be torn apart by the angry Eagle Army.
The battle soon came to an end.
The horse thieves left corpses all over the ground, but not all of them were wiped out. Some of them jumped on their horses and escaped from the pursuit of the soldiers.
"Don't chase after the poor enemy." Lei Wen rode his horse to the formation, shook off the blood on the blade of the bayonet, and said with a serious expression: "Clear the battlefield immediately and treat the injured!"
"Yes, sir!" Simon, who looked pale, bowed and retreated.
"Brother!" Weisidong came over, raised his visor, with a smile on his face, and his voice was a little nervous, but also a little proud: "I... we succeeded! "
The moment he saw Vesdon, Raven was stunned for a moment, and then showed a gentle smile: "Well done. Well, your mother will definitely be proud of you."
"Well!" Wei Dong's eyes suddenly turned red and he nodded heavily: "Brother, I thought I would never see you again. You're gone..."
"It's over." Raven's voice was filled with emotion and he patted his shoulder gently.
Just then, a shrill shout came.
"Mosingan——!" That was Volav's voice, and there was even a hint of crying in the trembling tone.
Leaven quickened his pace and walked over, his face tightening.
At this time, Mosingan was lying in Volav's arms. His eyes seemed to be open and closed, his face was sallow, and his breathing was weak.
The most terrifying thing was his stomach, which had a large horizontal wound. The skin and flesh were rolled up, exposing the yellow fat, and the colorful intestines were exposed, constantly squirming with breathing.
Volav held Moshingan's shoulders, his body was shaking. He wanted to wake up Mosingan, but he didn't know what to do.
A wave of memories came to mind.
He and Mosingan enlisted in the army at the same time, trained together, and competed with each other to show off their skills. Queuing up, using guns, setting up formations, and even eating were all their arenas.
After the Anderson battle, the two of them changed from a competitive relationship to a close comrade-in-arms.
After the battle, everyone spent time together in the Pink Mansion. The two of them drank too much and did not find the hut. Instead, they took a walk at the door.
Afterwards, they were fined dozens of copper coins. The two of them emptied their pockets but still had nothing. In the end, it was Chief Eric who had to pay to fill the hole.
Later Simon left and Mosingan took his place. The two did not meet so often, but they still had a harmonious relationship. They even once said that they would be each other's sons and daughters in the future.
It all seems like yesterday.
"Wake up, brother, wake up...!"
As if hearing Volaf's call, Mosingan's body suddenly trembled, and he vomited a mouthful of blood, and finally He reluctantly opened his eyes, but they were unfocused and his palms kept groping.
Volav grabbed his hand.
Mo Xingan exerted his strength in his arms, but failed to sit up. He choked out more blood foam and muttered as if he wanted to say something.
Volaf quickly lowered his head and listened, and heard Mosingan's breathy voice:
"Take me...home..."
The moment of tears Volaf's eyes were blurred, and he clutched Mosingan's hand tightly, sobbing:
"Okay...!"
"Flav." Raven's voice sounded.
"Yes, Lord Baron!" Volaf raised his head and wiped away his tears with the back of his hand, but left traces of blood on his face.
"You first wash your hands with ale and stuff his intestines back." Raven placed the water bag on his waist and a healing potion on the ground: "Then pour the healing potion into him. "
"The rest is up to him."
He thought that Mosingan would definitely die, but he didn't expect that there was still a chance of survival. Volaf showed a hint of surprise on his face, nodded heavily, and began to treat Mosingan's wounds according to Raven's instructions.
After a set of procedures passed, there was a trace of blood on Mosingan's waxy face. Although his breathing was weak, it also stabilized. However, his whole body had a high fever. I didn't know if he could survive it. .
The work of cleaning up the battlefield is gradually coming to an end.
Leaven stood in the position with little joy of victory on his face.
When we set out, there were a hundred and twenty-seven people, but now, even including the seriously injured, there are only less than fifty people left.
Nearly 60% battle damage!
After counting all the people, Raven found that one was missing, and his heart sank: "Where is Eric?"
"Lord Baron, Sir Eric... go after him. Eugene!" Link, who was covered in bandages, stepped forward and said, "Sir Eric said that if this man doesn't die, he will be killed. If used by other horse thieves, it will definitely become a serious problem for the Eagle Leader!"
Raven nodded slowly. He could understand Eric's decision. Eugene was born in the Iron Legion and had received professional training! Military training, if he learns the tactics used by the Eagle Army in this battle, it will indeed be a big trouble.
"Rest where you are for two hours." Raven ordered: "After two hours, regardless of whether Eric comes back or not, set off immediately!"
At the same time, in the wind and snow, two galloping horses chased each other one after another.
