The Dean Has Arrived Chapter 1077: Border lesions
Fortress Yanfei, which was once captured by orcs, the first and last fortress that humans guarded the eastern plains. ┡
After the main force of the orcs was slaughtered, all the surviving orcs shrank back to the northern hills. This nearly half-destroyed fortress was naturally taken back by humans.
The Yanfei Fortress is divided into three layers, and the founder of the Yanfei Fortress was used. The first general stationed in the Yanfei Fortress, named after the founding emperor of the Ji’an Empire, Anthony Marujian, from the outside Miles are "Anthony's Gate", "Anthony's Shield" and "Anthony's Sigh".
Although Iwafel Fortress is the only barrier for mankind, it is actually due to the ease of life of modern human high-level people gradually become rotten and faint, so even if there is a common agreement by ancestors to guard this place, in fact, except for some thorny miscellaneous troops In addition, other countries will basically not send any decent troops to help station them-especially now that the danger of the orcs has almost been eliminated.
The only good news is that because the Ji’an Empire needs to guard the gates of the Eastern Plains, and the country’s territory is not too large, even the most powerful empire, some of the principalities of the Horngolat Empire. Most countries don’t want to get into such trouble because of such a big place, so there is almost no foreign worries to the east of the Ji’an Empire, and the hard life near the northern hills and year-round battles with the orcs have also led to the unusual unity of this country. ——It should be known that in almost every generation of the royal family of the Ji’an Empire, princes died in the Yanfei Fortress. This situation of living and dying with soldiers is almost impossible in other empires. Most of the princes of the empire will die. Usually died of terminal illness or sordid court battles.
It is precisely because of this that the royal family of the Ji'an Empire is universally supported by the people.
Because of the lack of troops, the Ji'an Empire's garrison in the Yanfei Fortress is naturally impossible to compare with the empire's heyday.
Only behind the "Sigh of Anthony" are the elite troops of the Ji'an Empire. The current four princes of the Ji'an Empire, Faor Marujian, led an elite guard of more than 2,500 men to be stationed here.
Behind the'Shield of Anthony' are miscellaneous troops sent by various countries. Although they are generally not subject to discipline, they can only garrison obediently under the threat of the life of the spear of the strongest army of the Ji'an Empire. there.
However, they are lucky. The most unlucky is the outermost layer of Yanfei Fortress. The mercenaries, slaves, or some other messy stragglers who want to make achievements and work behind the ‘Anthony’s Gate’ are brave.
The combination of these three levels of soldiers is the famous ‘border guard’ in the Eastern Plains.
Leave aside, just in terms of equipment, these stragglers are quite different from the soldiers of the Ji’an Empire. The soldiers of the Ji’an Empire have a simple all-steel breastplate, as well as cage hands and shoulder armor. Full of materials, wearing a red and blue uniform made of Minnie yarn fabric. The full-covered helmet on the head is not only excellent in protection, but also decorated with the long tail feathers of a peacock, which looks majestic and energetic; , The trash fish behind Anthony’s Gate is just wearing ordinary linen clothes, and some people even just take three holes in the bag of flour, and put a set of clothes on themselves. Everyone looks dirty. ...
Not to mention the weapons.
Every soldier in the Ji'an Empire has a long sword made of stainless steel, a dagger, a spear, and even a flying knife that can be used as a dagger in his boots. Some soldiers of special ranks are even equipped with special equipment, such as a one-man high iron shield, a warhammer that is almost thickened with a mace, a claw that can climb walls and hook people, and so on.
The skirmishers usually take wooden sticks tied with stones, or other similar "weapons". At first glance, they seem to be in the Stone Age... occasionally one or two daggers are taken. Yes, they will be envied by others for a while, and only those wandering mercenaries who have made up their minds to make a contribution will use better weapons.
To put it bluntly, the people behind Anthony's Gate are almost all cannon fodder.
But not all the people behind Anthony's Gate look like this, and occasionally there are some exceptions.
For example, Jonia.
He used to be a knight attendant, but then the knight master accidentally fell off his horse in a jealous battle between lords, and was trampled by a group of mud legs into mud, the family of the knight master Jonia, who thought it was an attendant, didn't protect the knight master, and wanted him to be buried.
Fortunately, the lord of that place was kind. After learning about it, he made Jonia a member who was sent to the Ji’an Empire as cannon fodder, not because of the dignity of the knight (even knight attendants have this aspect. Pride) and was killed by a group of women and children who had no power to bind chickens, and they were ruined after death.
Because of this, Jonia is one of the few people behind the gate of Antony who has a full set of equipment no less than the soldiers of the Ji'an Empire.
Although he has not been on the battlefield many times, as an experienced person, even if he has only been on the battlefield once, he is far stronger than 90% of the cannon fodder-more worthy of the respect of those cannon fodder, Jonia One of the few survivors after the orcs broke the Yanfei Fortress last time!
"Vilon, you are reading that book again."
Xonia said to the boy not far away while wiping his sword with a linen which was not very clean.
Vylon is the kid he picked up after the previous battle in the fortress Iwasa.
According to Velen, he was also one of the cannon fodder behind Anthony's Gate. The orcs had just entered the line shortly before the invasion, and he did not expect that he was seriously injured by the orcs invasion not long after he entered the line.
Fortunately, it was picked up by Jonia, otherwise this kind of orphan would usually have only a dead end after being so badly injured.
It’s worth mentioning that Jonia himself didn’t have any savings, so after picking up Vinylon, he didn’t have the money to ask Vinylon for a pastor or a doctor. He once thought that Vinylon would not be able to survive and die like that. I didn't expect Vinylon to survive.
The book that Vinylon read was a notebook with a black cover and no title. It was written in two different handwritings, one of which was Vinylon’s own handwriting, but the other was not known. NS.
Xonia used to study the writing with his knight master for a period of time, but unfortunately because he has no talent in that aspect, the short-term study did not allow him to master many characters, and now he can only read it. Write some simple words, and the words in that notebook are out of his knowledge, almost to the point where he can't understand a word...
"Uncle Jonia...I'm just waiting..." Velen gave Jonia a slightly stiff smile.
Jonia is very pleased: Although this smile is still ugly, it has improved a lot from the dead face that seemed to have no hope in life at the beginning.
"Wait for words to appear out of thin air on this book?" Jonia sighed, "Don't be kidding Vinylon, how is this kind of thing possible? It's better for you to be realistic."
This is not the first time he has said this to Velen, but every time Velen seems a little stubborn at this time.
Jonia has also read that notebook, and almost every page is filled with words.
Only the last page is still empty, white and bright, without writing a word.
Xonia has seen Vinylon trying to write on it several times, but he hesitated for a long time but didn't write anything.
"Speaking of me, this book may be a devil's creation. You may have been confused by this stuff!" Jonia whispered: "Next time I have a chance, I will take you to church. Exorcise evil..."
Valen didn't show any impatient look at the constant chatter of Jonia, closed the notebook, but expressed a little nostalgia.
Once upon a time, his parents also nagged him like this...it's a pity...
Thinking of this, his originally calm and unwavering mood produced some fluctuations, and then what struck him was a somewhat unbearable sense of emptiness-as if his heart had been hollowed out by something.
"Hey, Vinyl, are you okay?" Seeing Vinylon's face pale, as if he was about to faint at any time, Jonia couldn't help but asked anxiously.
Although the relationship has not really been established, the middle-aged Jonya has long regarded Vinylon as his nephew and loved him. Vinyl also respected Jonya. Although they did not get along for a long time, the two of them But there was a tacit understanding in the time, maybe the so-called rapport is this kind of feeling.
"It's okay, Uncle Jonia, I'm just a little dizzy all the time." Weilun calmed down and replied.
I have suffered from this weird disease since the last orc invasion war ended, and I don’t know what happened.
I glanced at the notebook-since he joined the frontier guard, he wrote everything in the notebook at first, and the opposite sometimes responded, and even occasionally taught him some simple magic ——It is with these magics that Velen can survive the last time the orcs broke through the Yanfei Fortress.
But as time went by, the answer on the other side became shorter and shorter, and the interval between answers became longer and longer. This made Vinylon even worried about whether the other party had forgotten himself.
But this is normal. After all, the opposite is now a well-known great magician for all mankind, and I am just an insignificant little shrimp that the other party has encountered during the training, and even tried to use the artifact left by the predecessor to harm the other party. It is not that he will be forgotten by the other party. Unacceptable...
If the self at that time could be more sensible and mature, if the self at the time could become his student, maybe everything would be different today, right?
Occasionally, Vinyl will think so.
"Stop thinking about it, Vinylon, go and rest first."
Xonia stroked Vinylon's head and said softly.
"But today I am on the night shift..." Vinyl replied in a low voice.
"It's okay, just let the others take a break," Jonia patted the long sword that had been inserted back into his waist, as if the other party disagreed and asked him to agree with the sharp sword: " Besides, the power of the orcs is already weakened by the power of Lord Sevi Adric, and there is no more power to invade here. Even if you are a little lazy, no one will show up, I promise! "
"Then trouble Uncle Jonia."
Vylon originally wanted to be strong, but the weird sense of emptiness made him a little dizzy, and he was even a little unsteady to stand, so naturally he couldn't keep watch.
In this way, instead of working hard over there, it is better to take a break with other people.
☆
It was night, and Velen suddenly opened his eyes.
The sky outside the tent is still pitch black, but now that Vinylon is not drowsy because he is full.
"Go to the toilet..."
Standing up and slowly walking out of the tent, Vinyl subconsciously felt a sense of disharmony.
I looked up and scanned the surroundings, and there was nothing wrong with it—the torch on the watchtower on the city wall was burning, and two soldiers on duty at night were standing on it meticulously. The patrol team did not relax, even if they saw it. The toilet himself was only released after a little cross-examination.
The next moment, Vinyl suddenly realized where the sense of violation he felt came from.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the watchtower of the city wall again.
The two soldiers above are still standing straight there, seeming to be closely scanning the dark world outside.
If this kind of sight is placed behind Anthony's sigh, those elite soldiers of the Ji'an Empire may be normal, but this is the Gate of Anthony! The soldiers here are cannon fodder who don't even master military knowledge!
Almost most of the cannon fodder live an easy life, thinking about getting some money or fields to live comfortably until the end of their service life.
How can people who have passed by, stay so standard on the watchtower to check the situation outside?
At this time, the leader of the tour was Jonia, so Velen hurried to his side and whispered to the other party what he had noticed.
Jonia immediately understood that something was wrong.
"You two, go and take a look at the watchtower!" So he waved his hand and said to the soldiers of the two inspection teams.
The two soldiers didn't hear Velen's words, but they did not understand why they executed the order, and ran to the watchtower together.
After a short while, they came back.
But when he saw them, Velen frowned again.
Although the strange disease makes Vinylon's body worse than before, it seems to give Vinylon a powerful ability to observe and perceive.
Almost subconsciously, he felt that the two returning soldiers were not right.
Although at first glance there seems to be no change, Velen always feels that their actions are like something ‘something’ wearing the holsters of the two soldiers in action, full of weird sense of disobedience.
So Velen moved quietly to the side and walked around behind the two of them.
"No, don't let them come near!"
In the next moment, Velen understood why he had something wrong—behind the two people's necks, there was something similar to a mushroom growing.
Almost at the moment he gave the warning, the two soldiers suddenly opened their mouths and sprayed feces-yellow smoke.
If you look closely, you will find that this puff of smoke is actually composed of many goose-yellow tiny particles.
Jonia, who had been preparing for a long time, shot the two people with a sword, and then dragged the soldiers around him out of the range of the yellow mist.
"The Flame Star Formation" has added the "Blow of the Flame Star"! "
As soon as Vincent raised his hand, a series of beads the size of fireballs flew out and exploded on the two of them.
But it was too late, and the two of them had already had lesions—their bodies turned brown with visible degrees, and something like branches grew up and down all over their bodies, and they began to keratinize, and finally the whole person The body is covered with a thick layer of cuticle, it looks like it has grown into a tree, and it is not very afraid of flames, and the light has become extremely terrifying in terms of appearance.
Afterwards, there was a coughing sound from the city wall.
Yellow smoke and dust began to fall from the sky.
"Retreat quickly, everyone will withdraw to Anthony's Shield! Remember to wake up those sleeping fools on the way!"
Xonia immediately understood that this place could not be held, and shouted decisively.
The ability of yellow smoke to spread the weird symptom of anthropomorphization is quite amazing. It didn't take long for several people to be recruited.
Fortunately, Velen and Jonia are fine.
In fact, if it were not for Vinylon, the half-hearted magician, the loss of the cannon fodder would be much greater than it is now.
"What the **** is going on with this horse!" Jonia also took the lead to stand in the front line, trying not to be infected by the symptoms and at the same time resisting the attack of the tree-like soldiers.
He struck a tree-like soldier who was about to attack Velen with a single sword. Although he could not cut the opponent, the strength of the long sword had already sent the opponent out.
"This is not a normal situation, I am afraid something happened to the orc..."
Vylon took the opportunity to breathe, and answered with sweat dripping on his forehead.
"I'll just ask one thing...Vilon, do you think Anthony's Shield can be defended under the attack of this kind of ghost?"
Even if Jonia is in his prime of life, this kind of continuous fighting has put a lot of pressure on his physical exertion, and he can't help but ask Velen.
"If you are prepared, you can probably hold it for three days, right?"
Vylon looks at the increasing number of enemies around-every fallen soldier will create a new enemy~IndoMTL.com~Hey, how can we be prepared to face this kind of ghost! "Xonia took a sip on the ground, and then took Weilun to break through: "There is no way, let's withdraw!" "
Vilon is also a little frustrated: "Can we do nothing..."
"It's a pity, my child." Jonia also sighed: "It seems that human beings have finally managed to live a little more peacefully, and they will soon be broken again..."
"...!"
Hearing what he said, Vinylon's eyes suddenly lit up. He took out the notebook and a graphite pen he was carrying with him, turned to the last blank page, and started writing quickly.
"To the great dean, Sevi Adric--I think we are in trouble, a big trouble that is very dangerous for all mankind..."
