Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 157

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 157]

But now it’s my turn to deal with such a crisis, and I can’t escape. Waiting for death on the spot is too weak, and there is only one way to go.

“I’ll scout their movements.” Ciel nodded. “There’s no need to send scouts. If none of them survived, it means that the king’s army is systematically hunting down our scouts.”

“Yes.” Rocher stared at Ciel, “…Please return safely. For all this, be sure to come back alive.”

“I can’t die.” Ciel was furious, and the black warhorse neighed, raising its hooves and galloping into the distance.

You are the most suitable to charge on the battlefield, wrath, you are a fiery horse, and you will trample the war under your feet.

He chooses paths and scattered jungles to hide his figure.

In the wilderness, there are many forests that are overgrown. Due to suitable weather and hydrological conditions, trees grow into one piece on the grassland, and the scale continues to expand. If they are lucky enough to avoid human logging, they will eventually engulf the open land and form a vast forest. .

The charr hid in the woods, avoiding the prying eyes and sight of the king’s army, while constantly approaching them, scouting out their numbers, equipment, and direction of movement.

He saw a sparse group of conscripts just burrowed into the woods, and quickly turned the horses to stay hidden.

This group of people is hurrying on the road, making a mess, holding a round shield in one hand, an axe, a sword and a spear in the other, wearing iron or leather helmets, wearing cotton armor, white, dark brown and orange, looking Not neat at all.

Without the restraint of knights or officers, they swarmed through the woods and marched in the direction of Yuwan Hall with the main force.

These people are the most common levies, Shire thought. To be honest, they are exactly the same as the levies in the Ashtree Hall army. They are farmers who are temporarily pulled from the farmland, and they are pulled up after a little training. battlefield.

Do they know the meaning of this war?

Probably don’t know.

Behind them, Ciel saw a group of well-equipped soldiers.

The group behind was obviously here to create massacres. They wore iron helmets in the shape of a pot, a barrel or a pointed top, with a movable faceplate on top that could be lowered to protect the face. They wore chain armor with a cover over it. A robe with the Moon-eyed Goat coat of arms of the royal family of Softel painted on it.

The coat of arms looked quite eerie, like a bearded goat, staring straight at the person. There were only two crescent moons in the place where the eyes were supposed to be, and it could almost be described as loathsome.

These soldiers in heraldic burqas marched in uniform, like hundreds of moon-eyed goats walking through the forest in different places, each armed with more deadly weapons, spears, axes, hooks, epee and Axes and shields are also reinforced with iron edging.

We can’t let the goat ruin our happiness, Shire’s scalp is going numb.

He saw the foot knights among these heavy infantry, one for every two or three hundred phalanxes. They wore brightly colored sleeveless burqas with the coat of arms of their respective families. Ciel saw many eyes. Badges such as the swan, the man with the broken hand, the parallel three-legged and the standing bull.

What caught the Ciel’s attention the most was their helmets. Everyone wore a giant barrel helmet that covered the entire head, leaving only the long or cross-shaped sight hole,

This design made Ciel very uncomfortable. After covering their faces, they were more like walking steel monsters, and they seemed to be no longer human.

Shire also saw those large siege machines, a cart jolted through, with folded catapult parts, wooden structures and metal devices tied up with twine for transport.

These aren’t small projectile catapults, but really large counterweight catapults, and the Ciel can see that once they’re fully assembled and indiscriminately bombarding the castle, most of the walls will be destroyed within a few months. .

Only the most sturdy castles with special reinforcement for trebuchets can survive. He has seen the walls of Woodside Castle, which cannot be beaten by the big trebuchets, but Ciel has no confidence in the walls of Ashtree Hall. , If you forcibly defend the city, the ending will not be much better.

His vision crossed the forest, and he saw countless ox carts and carriages on the flat ground outside, dragging carts of supplies and moving with the army. The army’s baggage team was huge, and Charles suspected that there were more personnel in charge of logistics than those involved in the battle. .

With so many supplies, it is very troublesome to follow the entire army all the time. How will they solve it?

Charles pondered.

Based on his reconnaissance, Ciel concluded that the army would not hesitate, stop, or negotiate, and they were marching fast, aiming directly at Rain Bay Hall.

If he could analyze the speed of the march, Rocher could determine the location of their battle. Thinking of this, Ciel continued to watch the movements of the king’s army.

Hmm…movement…someone is approaching.

Angered and neighing, he turned Ciel around.

Ciel couldn’t help pulling out the gray knife in his hand, and he saw a woman approaching him murderously.

She has short red hair, a chilling expression, and eyes like flames. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, Ciel would never have imagined such a shrew. Even though she was small, she was wearing heavy silver armor and wielding a long-handled warhammer.

The warhammer has a unique shape, with a square head on one side, enough to smash heavy armor, and a sharp spike on the other, shaped like a crow’s beak.

Ciel could see the magic spells flowing on the warhammer, and it is estimated that there are powerful spells attached to it. If he eats such a hammer, maybe the black magic armor can be preserved, but his body may be torn apart.

You must not confront this deadly weapon head-on, you must avoid it…

Swinging this kind of warhammer with such a thin body, she definitely has amazing strength. If the gray knife collided with the warhammer, this blunt weapon could directly knock the knife into the air, making the Ciel weapon out of hand.

Thinking of this, Ciel turned his horse’s head and immediately retreated.

The maiden knight clenched the warhammer, and without saying a word, pursued from behind.

When Ciel turned his head, he only felt chills all over his body, and the blood almost solidified. She chased so fast, and in the blink of an eye, she was behind Zhen Fury.

He immediately stretched his right hand back, triggering the power of the scorched black ring, and the fire burst out, covering her head and face, she stopped her horse and stopped, the flame burned her delicate skin, revealing the scorched black layer underneath, her face was completely destroyed , shaped like an ashes skeleton.

Just killed her!

But in the next second, the festering skin quickly recovered itself, becoming white and bright again, and its posture was as fierce as ever, but the horse’s mane caught fire and bounced on the spot, preventing her from chasing.

Seeing the speed of her self-regeneration, Ciel knew that it was difficult to deal with, and immediately fled his horse far away, delaying here for too long, waiting for reinforcements from the king’s army to feel that he was afraid that he would end up with the previous scout.

He heard the sound of steel smashing flesh and blood, and looked at the sound. Seeing that the pursuit could not be achieved, the girl turned over from the horse’s back. She should have been extremely annoyed.

The fire caused by the charred ring is still burning on the horse’s carcass.

Chapter 199 Rain

After relaying the information to Rocher, she stood there for a while.

“This will be an unprecedentedly tragic battle, soldiers will grind their meat, and nobles will die in battle,” she said.

“The winner gets Loman.”

“Yes, the military strength of the two groups is similar. There are 16,000 people under the Goat Banner and 15,000 people in the Wave Dragon Banner. Our odds of winning are about 40%. Once the war is won, the Yuwan Hall will take advantage of the situation to become independent and not be affected by the West Coast. Control and dictate trade in the North Sea.”

“They don’t trust the king.”

“Because of the anonymous letter, the letter that spread throughout Loman destroyed the public’s goodwill of the king.”

Letter I sent.

“Uneasy.” Ciel expressed his emotions truthfully.

“I will have final military discussions with the Duke of Gregory. I hope the Duke will listen to me. We must shorten the front as much as possible to maintain the thickness of the formation. The weak levies are exposed on the flanks, while the strong The tenacious spearmen are preparing for battle in the rear. When the knights under the king’s command rush in, the horses will stall as the charge progresses, and the spearmen will be clothed and killed in large numbers. At the end of the day, our knights will regain the upper hand.” Rocher presents the core of her tactics.

“It seems complicated.”

“But Duke Gregory has his own ideas and refuses my various arrangements. He pinned his hopes on the secret weapon of the Rivi family. They seem to have an invincible method in Rain Bay Hall.”

The way to be invincible… Ciel pondered, the Ruiwei family still has this ability.

“You will strike yourself.”

“Yes, Sir Charles, I will win the war with determination.”

“It will be dangerous.”

This feeling of worry… I’m worried, I’m afraid Rocher will die.

Rocher took off his gauntlet and showed Ciel the scars and calluses on his fingers: “Never stop training day and night, just to save your life? In the face of danger, you will fight endlessly.”

“That’s right…let’s meet again in a victorious manner.” Ciel took a deep breath.

“Yes.” Rocher greeted Charles.

The battle between the Duke of Rain Bay Hall and His Majesty the King was caused by Garnier’s trial. To be honest, I don’t think His Majesty Eduardo wanted to arrest Garnier and torture him for his father-killing crime.

Their true purpose is definitely me… They are eager to destroy the Ashtree Hall and destroy the Hunter’s Sanctuary.

Rene’s death leaves us weaker than ever.

The so-called King of Darkness, also known as the Shadow of Roman Rania, the youngest of the kings of hell, has come to this world at an unknown time.

I haven’t seen it, but the gloomy effects of it have been around me for a long time.

It manipulated the selection of kings, dominated the West Coast Council, and ousted the blood of Lord Godel from the throne.

A shadow, a shadow without temperature will finally sweep the world.

Thinking of this, Ciel felt horrified.

As mighty as the king and his army were, the maiden knight with the warhammer was also extremely dangerous.

But these seem to be nothing compared to the King of Darkness himself.

I will finally face the Lord of Darkness, the Darkest itself…

“You can’t conquer the darkness.” Gladiu said dissatisfiedly, “I actually smell the illusory fighting spirit in your heart, give me a good give up, this is a high-level conflict that you can’t get involved in.”

“why?”

“You can beat a pair of claws, you can put out fire, you can bend metal. But how do you beat darkness? Just like you can’t beat desire and panic, you can’t beat plague and war, these ethereal demons There’s a reason for monopolizing high positions in hell.”

“We are demon hunters, we can only hunt down regular demons, what kind of hunters are you? I must try my best to destroy this intangible and indefinable concept. As the demon god of the blade, you have nothing to do with the king of darkness? ”

“Me? Of course I can, I have my own ways of changing things, but you are nothing, Ciel.”

Ciel clenched the gray knife in his hand. Can he kill the King of Darkness with this knife?

Deep down he felt uncertain.

But hesitating on the spot is not the way to go. He rode close to the camp of his army and found a remote place to rest.

On a midsummer night, he felt sultry, and the fences surrounded the camp layer by layer to avoid night attacks, and the torches were full of trees, illuminating the camp as bright as day.

The nobles and horses gathered here. The officials of the Ash Tree Hall and the dignitaries of the Yuwan Hall were discussing constantly in the big tent. The soldiers under their command ate and slept uncomfortably. There is no end in sight.

There are wooden stakes everywhere to hold the corners of the tent.

There were piles of thatch, and dozens of war horses lingered in the makeshift stables. Their saddles and waistcoats had been removed so that they could rest fully. The horses were as nervous as people and neighed from time to time.

The mundane war was approaching minute by minute, unlike any conflict Ciel had been involved in before, and he didn’t know how to adapt to the battlefield environment.

Do you rush to the front to fight, or stay in the formation, wait for the maiden knight to appear before dueling with her, or wait and see the situation and wait for Rocher’s special order.

How can a person with outstanding individual combat effectiveness maximize his strength on the battlefield…

If you ask me to deal with a hundred people, I can do it very well, but it is impossible to deal with a thousand people. If you meet 10,000 people, I am afraid that there is not much difference between me.

Thinking of this, Ciel also realized the limitations. My abilities are all specialized and suitable for dealing with demons and winning small-scale battles, but in the complicated situation of large-scale battles, I am afraid it will be difficult to fully utilize them.

If Gladius could…

“I can’t help you,” Gladiu said simply.

“Isn’t this your favorite part? Unleash the power of the blade and destroy mortals in an instant.”

“You speak well, but what should the Dark Lord find out about me?”

“I thought it had noticed you long ago.”

“When it speculates on the future, it lays out thousands of possibilities and arranges ten times the response. Of those possible trajectories, there are only a few hundred predictions with me involved, but if it confirms my survival, it will Arranged countless strategies to destroy me, understand?” Graduu muttered.

“So it will find a way against you.”

“That’s right, now that I’ve found it, I can prepare a plan to destroy it, but if it finds me, it’ll find a way to kill me neatly, it’s that simple. There is only one principle in the battle between us— -The later it is discovered, the better the chance of victory. If it doesn’t realize my existence at the end of the game… I will destroy it, rule the world, grind the world to dust, and turn back to laugh at the kings stupid.”

“I understand.”

The King of Darkness is very tricky, and the blade demons are also difficult to deal with. In the final analysis, they are all hell monsters that suck at their souls. They rely on burning their souls to survive. If they don’t have enough souls, they will annihilate themselves.

The devil is nothing more than a furnace that burns souls one by one, but this furnace has grown hands and feet for free movement and limbs to attack, and maintains its existence by plundering.

Funny, isn’t the devil the slave of the soul?

Pushed by my own desires, I searched for more souls in various new worlds…

With these thoughts in mind, Ciel fell into a deep sleep.

The war started on the fourth day.

After a few unnecessary mutual harassment, the king’s army and the duke’s army were damaged, and it was confirmed that the girl who wielded the long-handled warhammer was Doria, one of the king’s special envoys.

She had outstanding military exploits against the southern nobles before, and now she led the army to quell the Upper Loman rebellion. If two important rebellions can be smashed in a row on the west coast, the effect of anonymous letters will be greatly weakened, and people dare not take the risk of being killed to continue. Against His Majesty the King.
