Under the leadership of Zhou Jiale, Ye Tianlong came to a room where the seriously injured Viscount Saul was placed.
As if aware of Ye Tianlong's arrival, Viscount Saul, who had been in a coma before, opened his eyes after his eyelids trembled a few times and woke up.
But this is not a good sign. After all, Zhou Jiale has said before that after some treatment, Viscount Saul's injury still did not improve. The sudden awakening at this time was probably the flashback before his death.
Therefore, when Ye Tianlong entered the room and saw Viscount Saul slowly opening his eyes, the expression on his face was not very good.
However, Viscount Saul seems to be quite open-minded about this. Perhaps with his bellicose personality, he has long expected that he will die on the battlefield.
After asking someone to get him a glass of water, Viscount Saul drank the glass of water in one breath. After that, his complexion seemed much better and he was even able to sit up from the bed on his own.
But this made Ye Tianlong and the others more certain that Viscount Saul had indeed returned to his former glory. After all, they didn't feed each other any magic elixir just now! There is no reason for the other party to recover so quickly!
Viscount Saul, who was also aware of this, quickly explained the funeral arrangements to Ye Tianlong while he was still conscious.
What Viscount Saul was most worried about before he died was his wife Barbara and his three-year-old son Zod.
According to convention, after his death, his title and territory will be inherited by his son Zod, but he does not think that his three-year-old son can defeat those cunning and cunning nobles of the country.
So Viscount Saul wanted to ask Ye Tianlong to help take care of his wife and son after his death.
In return, Viscount Saul will give most of his property and army to Ye Tianlong.
The relationship between Ye Tianlong and Viscount Saul was already very good. In addition, the other party also offered such a generous reward. Naturally, he had no reason to refuse, so he agreed to the other party's request on the spot.
And Viscount Saul, after explaining the funeral affairs, seemed to have completely squeezed out the last trace of life force in this body. His face quickly became as pale as paper, and the strength in his body quickly drained away, and he fell into a trap again. In drowsiness.
After passing out this time, Viscount Saul never woke up again, and died completely after more than two hours.
The three knights who also listened to the last words of their lord before, after Viscount Saul's death, the eldest Giles said that he would lead a small army to continue to guard Viscount Saul's wife Barbara and Viscount Saul in the future. By his son Zedd's side.
As for the other two knights Reyek and Diligang, they both expressed their willingness to be loyal to Ye Tianlong. Obviously, these two relatively young knights do not want to continue to waste time with Zod, who is still a child, but want to switch to Ye Tianlong's command so that they can continue to make contributions. If they can finally become like their own lords It would be best to obtain a noble title like that.
In order to win over these two knights who originally belonged to Viscount Saul, Ye Tianlong let them still command the troops left by Viscount Saul. However, Du Yonggang and Ye Da were also sent as their deputy generals, firstly to assist the two knights in quickly adapting those troops into real firearms troops, and secondly to supervise the two men nearby to see if they were sincere. Take refuge.
Afterwards, Ye Tianlong mobilized more than fifty soldiers from Viscount Saul's troops who wanted to continue to be loyal to Viscount Saul's son. They were led by Knight Giles and escorted Viscount Saul's body back to the territory for burial.
After arranging these things, Ye Tianlong called Zhou Jiale and others to discuss it, and felt that in order to better conquer the morale of the more than 400 soldiers left by Viscount Saul, it was still necessary to avenge the other party.
However, in order to avoid being ambushed by the enemy like Viscount Saul, Ye Tianlong decided to wait until dawn before launching an attack. However, before that, he had also sent Shi Qian to investigate the specific situation of the enemy.
After transferring to the advanced martial arts skills taught by Li Rufeng, Shi Qian has now not only made up for his shortcomings in strength, but has also cultivated his internal strength and become a master of energy transformation, with a breakthrough distance of The innate realm is not far away, so his combat effectiveness is actually very good. Just doing some reconnaissance is not a problem for him at all.
After dawn, Shi Qian returned safely, and at the same time brought back detailed information about the enemy to Ye Tianlong.
According to Shi Qian, there are probably more than 300 enemy troops ambushed in that valley. However, some of the enemy troops look a little weird. They actually have the characteristics of some wild beasts and look very strange. Weird and scary.
After listening to Shi Qian's report, Ye Tianlong felt that those enemy soldiers seemed a bit like some beastly warriors in the real world who had acquired some beast genes through surgical transformation. The Kingdom of Swadia, a country still in the stage of feudal society, obviously does not have the technology to perform this kind of surgery, so this is probably the work of the evil spirits lurking on the continent of Calradia.
This also strengthened his idea of wiping out this enemy army. After all, after wiping out this enemy army, he might be able to learn some news about the extraterritorial evil spirits from the prisoners.
Just after Ye Tianlong listened to Shi Qian's report, Luo Chenguang and his master Li Rufeng also led more than a thousand main troops to Chaide Town.
Since the soldiers under Viscount Saul were still being redressed and reorganized, Ye Tianlong decided to send his own soldiers to take the lead.
The first to set off was the large combat airship commanded by Zhou Jiale, followed by a thousand infantrymen led by Ye Tianlong himself.
The enemy troops setting up an ambush in the valley soon discovered the combat airship flying from the sky. In order to be discovered by the enemy soldiers on the airship, the officers of the Kingdom of Swadia who were in charge of commanding the battle quickly ordered the soldiers to hide inside. Among the woods on both sides of the valley.
However, their actions were in vain, because last night Shi Qian had already come to investigate the enemy's situation clearly. After Zhou Jiale controlled the combat airship to reach the sky above this section of the valley, he immediately began aerial bombardment of the enemy's hiding positions. .
Under the bombardment of heavy aerial bombs, the enemy soldiers who had just been hiding were immediately blown out of their hiding places, howling like ghosts, and then quickly and completely submerged in the flames of the explosion.
When the bombing finally subsided, Ye Tianlong was the first to arrive with several generals and more than a hundred cavalry under his command.
Then, following Ye Tianlong's order, the soldiers took out their claws, threw them upward, hooked the mountain walls or trees on both sides of the valley, and quickly climbed up the mountain wall.
As for martial arts masters such as Lin Chong and Shi Wengong, they directly used Qinggong. They tapped their toes on the mountain wall a few times and then quickly jumped onto the mountain wall that was dozens of meters high.
Among them, Lin Chong had just jumped up the mountain wall when an enemy soldier, who was covered in blood from the blast but had a lion's head on his head, slashed at Lin Chong with a two-handed sword.
Because it was convenient to climb the mountain wall, Lin Chong did not carry the three-meter-long snake spear. At this time, facing the opponent's attack, he pulled out the single sword from his waist and blocked it in front of himself.
After a clanging sound of metal, the enemy soldier was shaken back several steps by the force of the repulsion from the weapon. Before he could stand firm, Lin Chong stepped towards the opponent and bullied him with one hand in his hand. Like lightning, he lifted the opponent's neck and chopped off the opponent's head with a knife.
Although Lin Chong easily defeated this enemy, Lin Chong judged from the previous confrontation that the strength of this enemy soldier had reached the level of a Ming Jin master. Ordinary soldiers would probably be no match for this guy if they met him.
Soon the tiger general Li Zhong and the green-faced beast Yang Zhi followed Lin Chong up the mountain wall. In order to facilitate the climb, these two people also held short weapons in their hands. One held two maces. , one took a short-handled simple knife.
After climbing up the mountain wall, the two men immediately waved their weapons and rushed in front of the enemies who were still able to resist. They killed them, killing them almost in the blink of an eye.
On the opposite cliff, Shi Wengong, Luan Tingyu, Shi Xiu and others relied on their strong martial arts skills to easily defeat the enemies who had survived the previous aerial bombing.
Among them, Shi Xiu, in particular, was holding two long knives specially made for him. It was really like a god blocking the way to kill the god, and a Buddha blocking the way to kill the Buddha! Wherever he walked, there were only broken limbs and broken arms.
Many enemy soldiers were so frightened by his extremely ferocious killing methods that they abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
When Ye Tianlong saw this scene from a distance, he couldn't help but sigh that Shi Xiu, a desperate man, really lived up to his reputation! With this fierceness, he is completely like a low-end version of Wu Song!
After just a few minutes, the battle ended. Lin Chong, Shi Wengong and the others led seven or eight surviving prisoners down the mountain wall.
After Ye Tianlong had the prisoners separated for interrogation, he learned that just a few days ago, a very mysterious black-robed man came to Kelridan Castle, claiming to be the envoy sent by King Haraus. After being invited into the castle by their lord, Count Starma, the two had a long private conversation alone.
After that, their lord suddenly took out a thing called a beast-transformation potion and forced all the soldiers to drink it.
After drinking this animalization potion, many soldiers quickly experienced various mutations, and some of the characteristics of beasts appeared, but their combat effectiveness also greatly increased.
In addition, the mysterious man provided the whereabouts of Viscount Saul to their lord, so they were able to ambush Viscount Saul here by such a coincidence.
After Ye Tianlong took a look at the interrogation results, he was almost certain that the man in black robe was an extraterritorial demon. Now with the help of this extraterritorial demon, the combat power of the Swadia Kingdom's army will inevitably increase greatly. Those who want to go The coalition of Nord Kingdom's great nobles who took advantage of this situation will probably suffer a big loss.
Seeing that they were all allies in the same camp, Ye Tianlong also sent people to send this news to those big nobles. Whether those guys would believe it or not was none of his business. After all, he has no friendship with those big nobles and has no obligation to be these guys' nanny.
