Chapter 551 Blade Squadron(1/2)
As the cutting-edge outpost, Blade Watch Tower naturally gives priority to all kinds of rations. This kind of combat skill can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers. It is no exception. Their squadron leader is the first batch to go to the northern fortress to receive the inheritance of combat skills. His subordinates
The soldiers have successively completed the inheritance of combat skills, and their strength has reached a higher level.
A knight with a fortress logo on his armor quickly came up to him and asked: "Lieutenant Rex, how is the situation?"
Captain Rex looked solemn and said: "Our previous observations were correct. The black fog area is constantly expanding outwards. The three hundred meter mark made yesterday has been completely submerged."
"The expansion speed has exceeded three hundred meters a night? The situation is worse than we expected. This matter must be reported to the military headquarters as soon as possible." Banak, the deputy squadron leader of the Blade Watch Tower Squadron, said.
"I'll take care of the flying eagle's message. You go and notify all the soldiers and be ready to retreat at any time." Squadron Leader Rex said to his deputy.
"How serious is the situation?" Deputy Squadron Leader Banek was shocked.
"You have been monitoring those monsters for more than a day or two. You should know that they cannot be measured by common sense. The black fog area has been motionless for nearly a year. No one knows what is going on inside, but one thing is certain.
, those monsters are definitely not dying of thirst, nor are they starving to death. If we take action now, there will definitely be big moves. We must prepare for the worst..."
Dang! Dang! Dang!
Before Squadron Leader Rex finished speaking, a violent alarm bell sounded again from the watchtower.
Squadron Leader Rex and Deputy Squadron Leader Banak looked at each other, and they seemed to be able to see the horror in each other's eyes. They did not dare to stop for a moment, took three steps and two steps at a time, and jumped directly to the watchtower without asking the guard at all.
Soldiers, if you stretch your head and look outside, you will know why the alarm bell is ringing.
Under the setting sun, countless undead Klein soldiers wearing white bone armor were seen pouring out of the black mist area like a tide, in an endless stream.
The direction in which they surged was none other than the direction of Brother Port, and the Blade Watchtower was right above the direction in which their army surged.
Different from the more sloppy march last time, this time the undead Klein soldiers have completely taken on the appearance of an army. They are uniform horizontally and vertically, and there is no chaos at all even when they are running wildly.
After two years of dormancy, the undead Klein soldiers evolved again.
"Everyone mount up, retreat, retreat, retreat." Captain Rex's tone changed a little because he was so excited.
Although the Blade Watch Tower was built like a small fortress and guarded by a well-trained squadron, without one or two hundred guards, there was no way to capture them.
But facing the overwhelming influx of undead Klein soldiers, their observation tower is not even a stumbling block. Holding it is a dead end, and it only takes a few minutes to overwhelm them.
"Alarm letter! Alarm letter!" Deputy Squadron Leader Banek did not forget the most important responsibility of their squadron.
"To make a long story short, be fast and release all the flying eagles." Captain Rex took a long breath, tried to calm down his mood, and visually inspected the marching speed of the undead Klein soldiers from a high position.
, "We still have fifteen minutes, no, five minutes at most. If we don't withdraw, we will have to explain everything here."
While they were talking, groups of skeleton knights emerged from the black fog area and rushed toward the Blade Observation Tower.
Judging from their ferocious looks, they obviously wanted to eat up their lookout squadron.
Squadron Leader Rex said to Deputy Squadron Leader Banak who was quickly leaving: "Reporting to the military headquarters, the intelligence of these monsters has been greatly improved, and it is suspected that they can use interception tactics."
Deputy Squadron Leader Banek staggered and almost fell over. He was obviously frightened by the news.
During their free time while stationed, they spent a lot of time analyzing the undead Klein soldiers.
It is unanimously agreed that these monsters are definitely the most terrifying soldiers in the world.
There is no need to rest, no need to eat, no fear of pain, few fatal wounds, and the most fatal flaw is probably low intelligence. He was fooled around by the Eternal Night Army and then destroyed by their new weapons.
If they hadn't met the leader of the Yongye Army unfortunately, they would have been defeated by any of the old forces, and then it would have snowballed across the entire continent.
But now that this fatal shortcoming is made up, can the Eternal Night Army Leader be able to withstand their crazy impact?
This is obviously not an issue that he should consider. Their most important task now is to send this news out to the marshal, to the lord, and to win precious reaction time for the military leader.
"Got it." Deputy Squadron Leader Banak responded loudly, without any pause, and his speed became faster.
Captain Rex once again took a deep look at the black mist area that seemed to be surging faster, and said to the two soldiers on duty: "Help me pour all the kerosene on the sentry tower and prepare to set it on fire...
"
"Well, is it appropriate to set fire to the sentry tower?" A soldier on duty hesitated. Their duty was to guard the sentry tower, and they did not change their mind for a while.
"The purpose of our sentry tower is to monitor the black fog area and monitor those monsters. Now that the monsters have rushed out, do you think it is possible for us to return to this sentry tower? We must warn other brother units, don't
Nonsense, you will burn if I ask you to do so. I will shoulder any responsibility." Squadron Leader Rex said angrily, why didn't he realize that his squadron leader was such an idiot before? He's burning his ass, and he still has time to follow up.
He is verbose.
"Follow your orders." The two soldiers on duty were not really stupid, but they were a little confused in the face of this unexpected situation.
The entire sentry tower was in a state of hustle and bustle as they raced against time.
Those who lead war horses lead war horses, those who set fires set fires, and those who deliver messages deliver messages.
Five minutes.
It's a long story, and most of the time it goes by without even realizing it.
It's short, but it can do a lot.
Lieutenant Commander Banek released the three flying eagles from the Blade Lookout Post at the same time.
Squadron Leader Rex poured black kerosene on the main building of the observation post.
But it was not enough for them to gather all the soldiers, mount their horses and evacuate.
What's more, the reaction speed of those skeleton knights was much faster than Squadron Leader Rex estimated.
The Blade Watchtower was built too convexly, leaving little time for reaction. In addition, their previous estimates were based on the fact that the undead Klein soldiers did not have any military qualities.
Now that the opponent Mengbuding has shown a strong sense of military combat, it is naturally easy to suffer heavy losses.
Captain Rex got on his horse and shouted to his soldiers: "We must rush out, otherwise our hope will be even slimmer when their infantry comes up. Wait a minute, everyone, follow me. Don't fall behind under any circumstances. Don't
We love fighting and want to kill the enemy. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Our mission now is to rush out and report back to the legion. As long as we rush out alive, it will be our victory. Do you understand?"
"Understood." All the squadron soldiers responded in unison.
"I'll clear the way, and the vice-captain will follow." Captain Rex nodded to his vice-captain.
"As ordered." Deputy Squadron Leader Banak responded.
"Open the door!" Squadron Leader Rex shouted in a low voice.
Two Yongye soldiers opened the door to the courtyard attached to the sentry tower. The scene outside made everyone gasp.
The skeleton knights lined up in a neat square formation to block the gate. A rough estimate was that there were no less than a hundred.
No breathing, no shouting.
Just standing there coldly.
If it weren't for the dark flame-like gaze in their pupils, I would have thought they were a group of lifeless statues!
Blade Squadron has been on duty here for nearly half a year. Not to mention a head-on confrontation with the Skeleton Knight, not even an undead soldier has encountered one.
Although the leader of the Eternal Night Army has fought against the undead Klein tribe for several rounds, there are very few troops that actually have a chance to fight with them. They prefer to use long-range firepower to destroy these monsters. For them, even magic modifications are used
The blade thrower.
These guys have actually learned the door-blocking tactic. Could it be that their intelligence has been fully restored?
"Grenade!" Squadron Leader Rex ordered loudly.
More than a dozen long-handled black powder grenades smashed directly into the Skeleton Knights' phalanx.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There was a grenade attack on the spot, and the people in the Skeleton Knights phalanx were blown up and their limbs were flying everywhere.
If they gathered into such a dense square formation, they were simply looking for an explosion. They obviously did not learn this lesson.
Maybe they have absorbed it, but there is no way to deal with it. In a hurry, if they want to block the road, they can only use the human sea tactic. If it is too sparse, there will be no Blade Squadron left.
Captain Rex didn't care about the success of the grenade and shouted loudly: "Knight's charge."
The brass camphor lance had a flat end, and the war horse under his crotch went from stationary to a high-speed state.
The war horse under his crotch has also been trained for a long time and has already adapted to this sudden state. With a long hiss, it kicked off its hooves and started running wildly, which further accelerated the speed and covered a distance of tens of meters almost instantly.
, appeared in front of the skeleton knight phalanx.
At the moment before the impact, Squadron Leader Rex shouted again: "Possessed by a heroic spirit."
A huge figure nearly five meters tall appeared behind him, and surging power surged through his body.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several Skeleton Knights who bore the brunt were directly knocked away by Squadron Leader Rex who was charging at high speed. With a low shout, a Skeleton Knight was directly carried away and slammed into the Skeleton Knight phalanx behind.
The brass camphor lance in the hands of Squadron Leader Rex can be used to stab, pick or draw. Not only is its power astonishing, but its attack speed is also astonishing. There is no enemy in one attack, and many skeleton knights were directly knocked off the crocodile mounts by it.
But very few were actually killed. Those skeleton knights quickly stood up again, shaking their heads.
Captain Rex intended to break the formation and use the fastest speed to penetrate the phalanx of skeleton knights blocking the door. He had no time to find their fatal points.
If Captain Rex is just one person, even if he activates the ultimate combat skill and takes his strength to a higher level, making him comparable to the champion knight in some aspects, the possibility is slim.
These skeleton knights have no idea what fear is, and they are constantly surrounding him. They will drown him even if he is alive.
Fortunately, he is not alone, and there is a group of comrades behind him who he can trust.
"Knight Charge!"
