Chapter 29 Dark Manor (1)
The damp and humid atmosphere is still approaching dusk.
James frowned. He didn't like this cloudy day that had lasted eleven days, and he didn't like the team to continue to go deeper, but all this could not shake the Hannet Cavaliers' determination to continue moving forward.
The sound of horse hooves came from afar. James looked over and saw three war horses galloping. Then, bloody prey fell down and hit the ground with a bang.
At the other end of the camp, the smell of wild vegetables came out of a big pot. Several chefs rushed up and immediately began to peel and bleed. In less time, the aroma of meat spread to the entire temporary camp.
The three knight attendants turned over and dismounted and immediately rushed to the near the fire. At this time, the chef took out the bread that had been baked on the fire. The three of them immediately took it and swallowed it voraciously.
James walked over and saw that their frozen faces were barely ripping a smile to welcome them.
In the temporary camp, the infantry were still training and running, and the leader was the Hannet Knight.
James watched, and his heart became more and more anxious. As for the decision to show up with Hannit Cavaliers today, it was not only him, but even everyone felt the invisible pressure. The further he went, the dense forest became more and more full of indescribable aura, which made panic and unconsciously fill his heart.
He asked himself that he was a strong person and felt this way. The ordinary people could imagine that from their blood-filled eyes, they could know that if this continues, the team will completely collapse.
But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the camp. A horseman appeared from the heavy fog. The horseman entered the camp, turned over and dismounted, and landed next to Hannet.
James saw it clearly, and this was one of Hannett's four knight attendants.
"Rest, rest in the camp, take out one-third of the bread and meat, and have a good rest today." There was not much time, Hannet issued the order.
Although it is not a rush to march, the army of 200 people who are experiencing deep into the wilderness and hunting and training are also exhausted and must be repaired.
Of course, the problem of logistics is that when the army is tens of thousands, it is difficult to ensure logistics whether it is hunting or robbing the countryside along the way, unless it is cannibalism. Therefore, the military strategy says that logistics is the kingly way, but for a small team with less than 200 people, they can basically survive no matter where they are, so Fang Xin dared to do so.
James was uneasy, and the mist fell on his armor, forming dew, and it fell on the skin of his neck, making him gasp involuntarily, and he stepped forward: "Sir?"
Fang Xin looked relaxed, but his eyes were very serious, and he whispered: "I have encountered the dark soldiers' sentry camp."
"What should I do?"
"What should we do? Of course we have a war." Fang Xin smiled at him: "Can we still retreat without fighting? Don't forget that sooner or later we will have a battle, and it's the same as fighting early and late."
"Sir, but..."
"It's nothing, I have the final say here. Are you planning to disobey my order?" Fang Xin said decisively, a hint of chill in his eyes.
James took a deep breath, was silent, and said in a low voice: "Yes, I obey your orders."
He immediately understood in his heart that Hannit seemed to be ready to fight a battle with the dark soldiers from the beginning.
Fang Xin no longer paid attention to him. In fact, he had also studied some popular non-commissioned subjects before, especially classical, but actually leading troops to fight was completely different from talking about wars on paper. The only thing worth celebrating is that Fang Xin also knew that his first team was a small army with less than 200 people. Such troops could actually train the commander's ability to the greatest extent.
Secondly, he has Yu Ruyi. In small-scale battles, this is a magic weapon to save his life whether it is killing enemies or retreating.
He even has an almost unsightly ability, which is to consume a certain amount of merit. At present, he can feel the general level of the enemy soldiers nearby. The dark aura is so easy to sense - this is similar to the Eastern qi-seeing technique.
The aroma of meat and bread came, and everyone cheered. When they arrived in the field, although there were hunting and logistics vehicles, they were still controlled for consumption. Now each person had a thick bread and a large piece of meat. As for the broth, they were drinking it.
Even so, the veterans had already felt that they ate and drank in big mouthfuls, and then they automatically checked their equipment. Of course, the militia did not have unified equipment, had deformed iron hats, damaged plate armor, and some had broken leather.
Weapons are also varied, including long swords, spears, maces, nail hammers, and battle axes. If you win this time, some varieties will be added to the trophy.
The recruits were also infected, and gradually, they understood and quickly checked their equipment.
"The Explosive Cavalry has discovered the Dark Soldier's post. I'll take a break today and launch an attack at noon tomorrow. Do you understand now?" Fang Xin stood up and issued a simple order: "And, James, prepare for the attack on the camp. I'll go and see the enemy post for myself."
"Yes, sir!" James simply agreed, which showed his dissatisfaction.
Fang Xin had long expected this. He did not wear armor or horses. He put on a black cloak, and even did not take his servants. He ordered them a few words, and disappeared into the jungle.
The closer this world is to the darkness, the thicker the fog becomes. It is said that in the Dark Base Camp, it will only disappear for a while at noon, which enables extremely low visibility.
Fang Xin currently does not need to consume merit to sense it, but is a range of forty meters. This is why he dares to take such risks. In the eyes of the soul, the entire tree is filled with rich black air.
No wonder this small world has been victorious once in ten years, but it has never been able to counterattack. In such a place with such a strong dark aura, the dark soldiers will gain a great advantage.
Instinctively heading towards the place with the strongest dark aura. The wind blew across the jungle with an ominous sound. Suddenly, a little fire appeared in the distance, and the fire swayed dimly. In the fire, the dark and strange figure faintly reflected.
This was originally a manor, a manor with thick stone walls, but the door was not closed and the hole was open. A dark aura penetrated from the door.
Fang Xin quietly stepped forward and slowly approached until he hid in a corner road near the manor. Without sensing, he could see the dark soldiers inside.
A dark knight was walking in front with his head held high, and the armor on his body was clattering, and the heavy sword slapped his thighs. Under the dim firelight, his black armor could not find any light, and murderous aura condensed on him. Fang Xin even sensed his black aura was spreading his teeth and claws above him, almost in essence.
Behind the Dark Knight, eight guards were wearing chain mail and their eyes under the pointed helmet revealed a bone-chilling red light, holding the sword handle with one hand and the torch with the other.
The next clip filled Fang Xin's heart with surprise. It was an ordinary tenant and servant who were retreating from the roadside and didn't even dare to raise his head - there were ordinary people here!
Seeing this, Fang Xin felt relieved. He began to retreat slowly. As long as the dark soldiers were not supernatural forces, as long as they were still flesh and blood, they had to eat, as long as there were still people in charge.
What Fang Xin feared most was that he encountered a skeleton soldier and had nothing to do if he won.
