Chapter 312: Inauguration of the Sixth Knights
The general personally beat the drums to gather the troops. Even the knights standing guard at the door heard the sound and gathered in the school grounds.
Xu Lai stood on the high platform and counted the time in his mind, which was less than 150 seconds. The last eight knights stood still in the middle of the team.
The entire assembly process takes less than 3 minutes.
Although it is now a state of war readiness and all knights are wearing armor during the day, the speed is still extremely fast.
The knight's agility is not very high to begin with, and now there is no hero bonus, and he is wearing heavy armor, which further affects his speed.
Before the assembly, no one knew what they were doing, in case there were still knights going to the toilet.
Without any advance notice, the impromptu drum beating and gathering of troops can make everyone put down their affairs immediately, and it only takes two and a half minutes to run to the school field and line up in order.
To put it bluntly, even if those knights recruited like robots can be faster, better, and neater than these knights, their advantages are extremely limited.
The standards of these knights are almost the same as those of robots, and can almost be considered harsh.
However, Xu Lai, who was condescending, did not see fatigue or dissatisfaction on the faces of these knights. It was obvious that they had already adapted to such harshness.
“Brothers and sisters, I have called you here today to introduce to you a new member of our Sixth Knights.
He is an honorary knight recognized by the God of War, and he was once The leader of the Eighth Knights led the Eighth Knights to capture the flag and destroy the frontline base of the stronghold camp.
More than a month ago, he led the cavalry alone into the wilderness. He carried out raids, destroyed countless cities, and forced the stronghold to withdraw troops.
When he learned of the demon's atrocities, he teleported back to the Northern Empire without hesitation. A few days ago, he successfully killed the demon's senior general Fei. Oona.
Now, he will replace me as the legion commander and commander of our Sixth Knights.
From now on, you will obey His Excellency Xu Lai's command and act on your own. No one is allowed to disobey His Excellency Xu Lai's military orders, otherwise he will be punished according to military law! "
Standing behind Lina, Xu Lai felt more and more guilty as he listened. He was going to put him on the fire.
Maybe it was because the general was a female knight. Although the entire Sixth Knights are still dominated by male knights, there are also a lot of female knights. It is conservatively estimated that there should be about one-third.
The one standing at the front is naturally the Sixth Knight. The core members of the group include 80 paladins and 320 official knights.
Coupled with more than 600 level 5 knight retinues and more than 800 level 4 trainee knights, the entire Sixth Knight Order has a total of nearly 2,000 knights.
Of course, Xu Lai's three cavalry squadrons are also included at this time, with almost 2,500 men, and all of them are horse knights.
After Lina finished speaking, she simply gave up her position, highlighting Xu Lai who had been standing on the stage.
This is to ask Xu Lai to come out and lecture. However, the Knights of the Temple are different from the general army. There is no concept of superiors and subordinates. At most, there are only differences in positions. Everyone is a believer under the Temple of War.
Therefore, Lina spoke of her brothers and sisters.
Xu Lai was not used to this method, so he coughed and said rather awkwardly:
"Hello everyone, I am Xu Lai. In the next period of time, I will temporarily serve as the leader of our sixth knights.
Before coming, I had already applied to Archbishop Wright for the task of hunting down Hell’s senior general, Aulima.
This task will be officially implemented starting from tomorrow and will only last for 15 days. During the mission, the cities along the way will provide us with supplies as much as possible
But if the mission fails, we will all be punished
Everyone has been fighting in the Northern Empire for a long time. I believe you know more about Aulima's situation than I, a newcomer.
However, I am quite confident about this mission.
I hope that all of us can have a deeper understanding of each other through this mission.
To be honest, I just want to test us through this mission. A mere Olimar is not the goal of our Sixth Knights.
The Abyss Lord Sellon, who has occupied Norwalk Mountain, a mountain fortress, and holds the artifact Doomsday Blade, is what we need to eliminate. ”
After speaking, all the knights in the audience fell silent.
Xu Lai then became more and more embarrassed. He coughed and continued:
"I've said everything I want to say. Let's have a good rest today. We'll set off early tomorrow. Let's disperse."
With a wave of his hand, the command of the Sixth Knights was officially transferred from Lina's hands to Xu Lai.
At the same time, Xu Lai's specialization and talent also began to take effect on these knights.
Ultimate offensive skills, ultimate defensive skills, logistics skills, archery skills, leadership skills, path-finding skills and resistance skills can all be embodied in their bodies.
This does not include treasures and talents. With talents, attack speed and movement speed will be increased by 20%. Treasures can increase a lot of attack, defense and a lot of health.
Basically, it can be said that these knights just changed their leadership, and their overall combat effectiveness increased by at least 50%.
It is precisely because of such a terrifying bonus that the temple's senior officials ignored the wishes of several Holy Light Knights and insisted on finding a new leader for these Holy Knights.
It’s just that not just any new leader can command the Knights of the Moving Temple.
Every knight order is formed with the Holy Light Knight as the center. The Holy Light Knight is the core of the core. How can ordinary heroes take away their command rights. When Xu Lai was the leader of the Eighth Knights, he was a pure buff tool.
The difference is that at that time, he was self-aware, and he only cooperated from beginning to end, without any nonsense.
This also allowed him to get along harmoniously with everyone in the Eighth Knights, and they even helped him with military training for free.
But this time, Xu Lai asked Lina for the command.
Moreover, Ren Lina also kept her word. She not only gave up her superficial position as the leader of the regiment to Xu Lai, but actually made a statement that she wanted to engage in military law.
Therefore, when Xu Lai said dismissal, no matter whether they were convinced or not, in front of Xu Lai and Lina, they had no choice but to leave first.
However, not everyone left. There were a total of 20 teams in the Sixth Knights, and all the team captains stayed.
"It seems that you still have something to say to me. It doesn't matter. I just have a task to arrange.
We won't be outside, let's go to the big tent."
Although it is a temporary camp, after all, after staying there for more than a month, many necessary facilities have been built.
The big tent was originally a large tent used by Lina for military meetings. Later, it was built into a large wooden house, which was windproof and waterproof, but it was still called the big tent.
In the large tent, a military map of the Northern Empire was hung behind the wall. However, no matter how big the map was, it only covered half of the wall, and was far less intuitive than the huge sand table in the tent.
Different from the sand table in Xu Lai's impression, the sand table in the other world may be affected by magic. The terrain, landforms, and even the color of the surface are exactly the same as in reality.
From the sand table, Xu Lai could clearly see that there were nearly a hundred cities, hundreds of towns, and thousands of villages in the Northern Empire.
At the village level, it is no longer displayed directly, only a corresponding picture is inserted.
After all, even if this sand table is seven or eight meters long and wide, it cannot show the entire Northern Empire.
In addition to cities, terrain, and troop deployment, Xu Lai also saw from this sand table the changes made by the Hell camp to the Northern Empire.
Knowing that it was the first time for Xu Lai to see this sand table, Lina took the initiative to step forward and explain to Xu Lai:
“This, this, and this place are all descended by hell. The city we have captured.
Especially in this area close to the Western Empire, there are seven fortress-level cities, two base camps, and one castle occupied by demons.
Moreover, they are constantly changing the heart of the empire's castle into the heart of the furnace of hell through sacrifices and dark spells.
The western area, the Emerald City area, and the northernmost areas connected to the tower camp have all been transformed into lava terrain. "
Xu Lai is very familiar with the lava terrain. He once stayed in the Zhan Zhan College alone for several months and walked through it countless times.
"The lava area will treat us badly. Causes 75% terrain impact.
In other words, the distance that originally took ten minutes now takes 17.5 minutes. "
Lina nodded and said: "Yes, so Aulima, Ash and other high-ranking generals from hell are all active around here.
They are centered on the transformed hell city. As the lava terrain continues to expand, their scope of activities becomes wider and wider.
It is not that those nobles have not tried to chase them before, but as long as they abandon the captured humans and hide back in the lava terrain area, no nobles can catch up with them.
Fiona has a very high level of logistics skills and is extremely fast. She also has hellhounds of various levels that she has personally trained.
Let alone chasing Fiona, as long as the number of imperial soldiers is slightly larger, she will never be seen.
Wherever there are many people, she will definitely appear. Before she was killed, all of us thought that she was the most difficult to deal with. "
Xu Lai smiled bitterly and said: "Thanks to the fact that I don't have many soldiers, otherwise she would probably not show up. "
Remembering that Fiona was dead, Lina showed a slight smile on her face and said:
"Those devils and heretics in hell have absorbed the greatest malice in the entire world. , their desire for revenge is much deeper than ordinary people. ”
Xu Lai nodded and said to the paladin captains: "You have heard it before, we only have 15 days.
15 days is not enough, and we are all knights and are not suitable for attacking. Fight in the city.
Therefore, I have a battle plan and I need your help."
However, these paladins did not agree with Xu Lai, but turned their attention to Lina.
Lina's face darkened and she said, "Do you think I'm joking?
I don't care what you think in your heart, even if you have any doubts, you must complete this mission wholeheartedly.
During the mission, if anyone fails to do what they should do, I will engage in military law. At the very least, I will kick them out of the Knights and never hire them. ”
