Chapter 25: Turn around (2)
The next morning, the group set off. A long line of people walked on the mountain road, like a snake.
Compared with absolutely rational gods and demons, humans are such a strange species. They are so easy to be impulsive and so easy to be crazy.
Living at the bottom of this world, struggling desperately, having a short lifespan and so many bonds, this forced them to go crazy and hysterical.
Along the way, a solemn atmosphere enveloped the entire team. Everyone was silent, and everyone was full of energy.
At dusk, they had crossed the mountains and rivers and arrived at the horse farm where they had previously hidden horses and armor.
The owner of the horse farm was a honest herdsman. When he saw the cavalry team who came back to pick up the horse, he was so excited that he wanted to pounce on him and kiss him.
"There are a group of bandits wandering around these days. He is very worried that the other party will attack the ranch." Miller explained beside Alvin.
"Tell him we'll fix it." Alvin replied softly.
The cavalry quickly brought their horses and finished their arms. Alvin also put on his magic armor again.
"Do you have to deal with the bandits first?" Miller asked.
"Disposing the bandits first, it would be better if we could gather them together. Our people may not be enough, and we need more people." Alvin moved forward.
Under the night, a silver moon banner was raised and flew in the wind, just like the bright moon hanging high in the dark night sky.
It was dyed temporarily with dye, and it looked like a fake, but this team was real, the real Silver Moon Knights.
Alvin was walking in front on his horse, slowly and firmly.
...
"Boss!" A bandit rushed to the bonfire and said loudly: "A team of cavalry is coming towards us!"
"Are there any cavalry? Have you seen any flag?" The bandit leader who was drinking turned around.
"I saw it, it's the Silver Moon Flag!"
"Silver Moon... Flag?"
Before the bandit leader could react, the sound of horse hooves, the cavalry had already rushed into the camp on horseback and surrounded about thirty bandits by the bonfire.
The bandits were panicked.
Alvin, riding a war horse and wearing magic armor, slowly came to them, beside him was Miller holding the silver moon flag high.
The flag of the silver moon flutters in the wind.
"The Fifth Team of the Silver Moon Knights arrived!" Elvin looked down at the bandit leader and said, "You have two choices now. One, accept my order until you clear your sins. Two, accept the sanctions of justice."
That tone had no room for refutation. It was as if the former Gray had been back.
The bandit leader twitched. He looked at the exquisite knight armor on Alvin, then looked at the circle of fully armed cavalry teams around him, and finally fell to the ground with a plop.
...
The war has begun.
If it was a prologue to list the fifth team of the Silver Moon Knights in Baicheng, then this moment is the real beginning of the story about the fifth team of the Silver Moon Knights.
No matter which era, if you want to achieve justice, you must have a leader, and you must be a leader who can see the journey ahead clearly.
How many years has the name of Silver Moon Knights been used by no one?
have no idea.
Probably since the attack on the Valley of Grey Dragon and the Northern Expedition, it has almost never been seen in the human world. Once the banner of faith, it has almost disappeared, but now someone has raised this banner. A young man named Alvin is unknown.
Unlike Jones, who is a blood clan and Rich, who is a semi-lich, he is a complete human being.
If it were normal, many people would probably suspect that he was fake. But when the whole world is immersed in darkness and people need heroes, everything is different.
Everything is so subtle. He appears at the right time and then fulfills people's expectations in the right time.
Starting from the ranch where the horses were hiding, all the way west, along the way were villages that were burned and looted, displaced people and rampant bandits.
The whole world seems to have become a purgatory on earth, and the ugliness of human nature are fully revealed.
And Alvin's arrival was like breaking through a ray of light from the darkness.
Thick smoke rolls, fiery burns, and sorrow is everywhere. The silver moon flag travels through it.
Alvin began to gather refugees day and night to resettle refugees. At the same time, he attacked and attacked bandits along the way.
There was almost no resistance, and the bandits either fled in sight or bowed down. In most cases, there was not even an opponent to draw their swords. After all, for humans, Lord Cap's guard cavalry team was not weak. Although they only had a dozen people, it was common sense that a qualified cavalry would fight more than three infantry one by one.
"Sir! A group of people hiding in the ruins were found to the north, with a total of twenty people! They need food!"
"Okay, Miller, take someone over and have a look."
...
"Sir! There is a group of people in the southwest asking us for help, and they need shelter!"
"Shawn, go."
...
"Sir! A group of bandits in the south took the initiative to surrender to us! They were originally members of the Southern Defense Force!"
"Tell them I'll go over and verify their identities in person later."
Things went much smoother than I thought. In just two days, there were hundreds of combat powers standing next to Alvin.
Since the cavalry did not really belong to the Fifth Detachment of the Silver Moon Knights, they uniformly called Alvin "Supervisor". Gradually, everyone also called Alvin "Supervisor".
Just as Alvin's momentum grew rapidly like a snowball, Dovna knew nothing about it.
This is not surprising. After all, Karp's intelligence network was completely destroyed, and the robbers everywhere made the spread of news more difficult. Although Alvin's advance was not fast, he just had to outperform the rumors.
Then, on the fifth day of Elvin's departure from the ranch, the largest team they had ever encountered appeared before them - George and Matthew.
Yes, these two are the ones.
When they saw Alvin, they were so excited that their tears came down. Matthew laughed desperately, hugging Alvin refused to let go, while George stood aside and kept gasping.
"Hahahaha! I thought... I thought you couldn't wait for us to come, so I died!"
"I won't die so easily."
"We don't know what to do if you die? What should we say to Duke Besheer when you go back? My God!"
George, who was standing aside, whispered: "If you die, the fifth team will end here. After all, the Knights, which can kill the captain even if you perform a spy mission, will not have any future."
"Don't worry, I can't die." Alvin smiled helplessly: "How many people have you brought?"
"Two hundred mercenaries." George replied.
Matthew added in a low voice: "George mortgaged his family badge, exchanged it for money, paid the deposit, and brought all the mercenaries that could be found in the surrounding towns. If you can't be saved, he won't have to go home. He has already made his promise."
Alvin looked at George.
George looked at Alvin, straightened his back, stood attentive, and saluted respectfully, saying, "You are a captain I admire, a boss who can entrust me to my life. I feel very honored to be able to serve you."
"You are an excellent knight." Alvin replied softly: "From today, you are an official member of the Fifth Team of the Silver Moon Knights."
Although the process was a bit bumpy, no matter what, the main members of the Fifth Team of the Silver Moon Knights finally got together again.
...
The army continued to advance slowly.
Finally, a week later, Alvin led the army to the front of the castle. His team included three hundred former Karp soldiers recruited with the help of Sean, six hundred bandits gathered along the way, and two hundred mercenaries brought by Matthew and George. Such strength even surpassed the original Karp's garrison. The original sneak attack and killing also turned into a dignified march.
Alvin set up a lineup in front of the castle gate. In the castle, even if loyalty is not considered, the total number of soldiers standing beside Dovna is less than 200.
The situation has reversed.
Looking at Elvin, who was standing in front of the army on horseback, Dovna, who was standing on the balcony of the tower, kept biting her nails. The eyes were on fire.
"How come this happens? Why do these people listen to him? They should have stood on my side!"
"You should think carefully about why they are not on your side." Alphons, who was hiding in the shadow behind her, whispered: "Normal, it is much easier for evil to recruit subordinates than for justice to recruit subordinates. After all, we can satisfy all their desires. But you have reversed the situation in a short time. Objectively speaking, you have already lost."
"No! I didn't lose! I didn't lose!" Dovna screamed: "You help me kill Alvin! Kill him, and I can regain control of Karp!"
"Do you think I will help you?"
"You...you have no reason not to help me. Do you want to lose Cap?"
"No, I have no reason to help you, it's meaningless to help an incompetent demon. And I have said that we value demons more than territory." Alphons smiled and said, "I give you strength, but you must do what you should do by yourself. If you can't do it, then you should go back to the prison of the castle. If you want more, you should prove yourself first. In fact, your advantage has never been ruled. The reason I like you is because you have strong resentment in your heart. Go and burn everything with your anger. This is your last chance."
Alphons smiled and retreated little by little until he disappeared into the shadow.
A powerful magic began to gather in the castle, and traces of clouds formed in the sky like vortexes.
The clothes on Dovna began to float up little by little. Not only the clothes on her body, but also the stones around her.
At the same time, the gate of the castle opened without warning. A large number of soldiers fled out in a hurry, leaving their weapons and armor and running towards Alvin. Not only Dovna didn't know what new soldiers to use, but also the maids, cooks, porters in the castle... all ran away. The entire castle was completely empty, and Dovna was left alone.
Standing on the tower, Dovna turned around and looked at Elvin in the military formation from afar.
Next, it should be a decisive battle.
Just like a brave man who challenges the evil dragon, can three pieces of magic armor defeat a demon envoy who gets the power of the demon?
