Chapter 278 Horsh County IV
"Get out of the way!"
Feeling the wind pressure on [Imitation. Dragon Head Great Sword], Rolt shouted without thinking.
He knew very well that for a huge sword with such wind pressure, not to mention being hit directly, even if it was slightly missed, the subordinates around him would be finished.
Of course, this does not include him!
There was a disdainful sneer on the corner of his mouth, and then, the second captain of the lion mercenary group, he opened up his talent with confidence——
I saw that under the wind pressure of [Imitation. Dragon Head Great Sword], the opponent's figure was like noodles, twisting back and forth, as if his whole body had no bones.
Then, the whole body went towards the [Imitation. Dragon Head Great Sword].
There is no blood and light that breaks with a sword.
There was no scream.
Rolt, the second captain of the lion mercenary group, stuck his entire body on the blade of the [Imitation, Dragon Head Great Sword], and then, the opponent's body twisted rapidly, as if The snake began to wind its way up as if it were wrapped around a stake.
"Even if you are powerful, what's the use? I am the 'snake man' Rolt, and I am not afraid of an opponent like you at all! Die!"
Rolt looked proud, laughed again and again, twisted his body, and quickly approached Dean from the [Imitation. Dragon Head Great Sword], and a thin stabbing sword had appeared in the opponent's hand, with a touch of cold star , pointing directly at Dean's throat.
Facing the attack that was close at hand, Dean didn't panic in the slightest, but just raised his eyebrows slightly.
hum!
Undetectable vibrations appeared on the [Imitation. Dragon Head Great Sword], and layers of frost covered the giant sword. Of course, there was also... that 'snake man' Rolt.
After Dean spent 6 points of energy to maximize the attack power of [Frost Sword Art Lv4], Rolt stuck to the blade in all directions and without dead ends. I was frozen in an instant.
If it was a frontal fight, with the strength of the opponent's great knight, it would definitely not be frozen like this all at once.
but. Who made the other party 'cooperate' like this?
"Snakes? In this cold place,
Obviously not suitable for your existence! "
Dean sneered. The [Imitation. Dragon Head Great Sword] in his hand hit the ground heavily, and immediately, the frozen body of the 'snake man' Rolt was torn apart.
"Team, Captain was killed!"
"The captain is dead!"
The mercenaries of the second team of the Lion Mercenary Corps shouted loudly, each face filled with disbelief and... horror!
Because, next, they will face a powerful opponent like Dean.
At this moment, the previous ridicule and anger had already disappeared from their hearts. All they have left is to pray!
Just pray that Dean will show mercy and let them live!
However, this is obviously impossible!
Dean in his previous life had a deep understanding of the so-called "kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself", let alone now!
Even, to put it more simply, he can spare these people's lives now, but after changing positions, when the other party stands in his position, will the other party spare his life?
Obviously, for these mercenaries. That's just not possible.
Therefore, the next battle became logical.
Greatsword swung. Wailing indecision.
Blood and broken corpses were thrown on the corner of the street like garbage.
And even the Hosh County people who are used to the atmosphere of duels turned pale in the face of this scene, and some of them couldn't bear it anymore and just turned around and opened their mouths to vomit, "Wow, wow".
Seeing this scene, the young people of the Feichalun Knights glanced around with a flat expression.
However, after seeing a few guards in Hosh City doing the same, they became disdainful.
As a soldier, faced with such a situation. Just vomited.
If it is on the battlefield, it is the easiest to solve. After all, he vomited softly. You can't hold a sword, you can't run, you're just a living target.
"It's about the same as our recruits!"
Chad commented like this.
"Weaker than our recruits...just a show!"
Ma He observed more carefully. When he saw that the guards at the city gates started to leave their posts because of vomiting, the disdain in their eyes became more and more intense.
And Chad, with sharp eyes, followed his companion's gaze, and instantly discovered the situation here.
Suddenly, the same disdain appeared in his eyes.
For those who have accepted Dean's "soldier and soldier's bounden duty is to stick to their posts and obey orders", such soldiers are undoubtedly the most despised. Just a whip whipped up.
"Can I declare victory?"
Dean swung the [Imitation. Dragon Head Great Sword] vigorously, throwing the blood and meat sauce on the blade to the ground, forming a straight and thick bright red mark.
Some people around who were holding back and not vomiting could not bear it any longer, and vomited out directly.
The leader of the guards who acted as the referee who was questioned by Dean also had a bad complexion. After suppressing the surge in his chest, the referee said dryly: "Win, the winner is Lord Zelgon!"
Just as he said these words, the pungent smell of blood began to enter the referee's mouth and nose, and the referee couldn't bear it any longer, and with a vomit sound, he began to vomit.
After glancing at the other party, Dean didn't have any more words. After handing over the [Imitation. Dragon Head Great Sword] to the captains of the two subordinates, he returned to the outpost and stood quietly by the brazier with a calm expression. , without saying a word.
"Dean, you won the victory, what else is there to be unhappy about?"
The archduke's swordsman looked at Dean, who obviously had a hint of displeasure, and asked from the perspective of a friend.
"Victory is of course happy, but the results I saw made me unable to be happy!"
Dean's expression remained unchanged, and he said slowly.
"Are you talking about those mercenaries? Although Earl Hosh indulged them a bit, he was a good choice in some aspects, at least. The existence of mercenaries reduced the casualties of soldiers, and the Lion Mercenary Group Has a pretty good reputation - not only has strength, but also has a very high rate of completion of tasks!"
The Grand Duke's swordsman instinctively believed that Dean was offended by those mercenaries, so he chuckled while explaining - because, in the eyes of the Grand Duke's swordsman, Dean at this time is just like those emeralds. The old aristocrats in the capital are generally rigid and unreasonable.
Of course, she, who is also a nobleman, would not be disgusted.
"No, that's not the case!"
Facing the chuckle of the archduke swordsman. Dean shook his head with a serious face. He stared at the brazier in front of him, watched the flames jumping up, and said solemnly: "If... I mean, if, once foreign enemies invade, the previous recruits will not be as good. What will your soldiers look like?"
The Grand Duke's swordsman was startled, but did not answer immediately.
After glancing at the other party, Dean replied directly: "I'm afraid I have to let the slaughter go!"
Then, Dean sighed silently.
He suddenly found out. It was not as easy as he imagined to reverse the Blood Moon War - the defenses in various parts of Jadeite were loose, and the soldiers lacked exercise.
even. According to the performance of the soldiers in Huosh City just now, there is nothing wrong with saying that they are a group of civilians with weapons.
"No wonder that guy chose to surrender!"
Subconsciously, Dean thought of the head of the lion mercenary group, and thought of what the other party had done.
However, this does not mean understanding or forgiveness.
Betrayal is betrayal, no matter how conspicuous it is, this will not change.
So, Dean from the bottom of my heart. After a cold smile, there was no more words. Standing quietly by the brazier, waiting for the Earl Hosh.
same. The archduke's sword master didn't speak either.
The swordsman frowned slightly, thinking about Dean's words before.
Then, the frown became more and more tight.
Because, she found that if there were indeed foreign enemies invading, it would be just like what Dean said, those soldiers would only have the fate of being slaughtered.
"Although what Dean said is reasonable, Horshshire and Daleshire are both located in the north, with Yorkshire and Vaubanshire as barriers. If foreign enemies invade, they must pass through these two places, regardless of whether it is the Marquess of York, The Marquis of Vauban is quite capable, and the knights and soldiers under him are also elite..."
Taking a deep breath, the Archduke Swordsman began to think from another angle.
Or... with a touch of self-comfort.
Then, slowly, the archduke swordsman looked at Dean again - being able to say what he said before showed that Dean's vision was definitely not limited to one city or one place, but was looking at the overall situation.
"Your Highness really has a discerning eye!"
From the bottom of his heart, the Grand Duke's swordsman was more and more impressed by the order from the Emerald Grand Duke of "Training Dean with all his strength and satisfying all the other's requirements as much as possible", and he was even more looking forward to it from the bottom of his heart.
"The Marquess of York is a gold-level knight. If Dean has grown to this level and is stationed in Vauban County, the four northern counties have two gold-level knights stationed in important places. The entire north of Emerald will obviously become stronger. , This will be enough for His Highness to clean up the Emerald City with more peace of mind, and some ghostly Xiaoxiao in the south can also be completely eradicated!"
Thinking of the changes in the emerald at that time, the Grand Duke's swordsman couldn't help breathing with a little shortness of breath.
She was looking forward to the scene at that time very much.
Therefore, unconsciously, she looked at Dean with an extra look of anticipation.
As for this, Dean noticed it but didn't care - he was still thinking about how to save Jade from the Blood Moon War.
One side is looking forward to the rise and rejuvenation of the country.
On the other hand, one side is thinking about how to escape the fate of the country and the family.
The two sides continued to maintain a 'tacit understanding' of silence.
Until the sound of footsteps came from outside again.
"My lord, that great Norton knight is back!"
Through the door, Chad reported.
