Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Four Reputation Begins
The huge devil's horns brought supreme glory to this operation and became the stepping stone for Carter to become famous.
That night, everyone in the 21st Company rode horses and pulled several carriages filled with wounded people and corpses back to the city of Tal-Zhodel.
"who?"
"From the 21st Company of the Eagle Legion!"
"Password!"
"The power of Asuryan is supreme!"
"It's Captain Carter and the maid! Let them go down quickly to confirm!"
The two sides exchanged slogans in the dark night with extremely low visibility. The defenders on duty on the city wall immediately placed a cradle with an elf sitting inside. Carter recognized his identity using the firelight in his hand.
"Captain Aragorn!"
Aragorn did not reminisce with Carter, but simply looked at each other to confirm his identity, and then shouted at the top of his voice to the defenders.
"Yes, that's right, it's them, open the door quickly!!"
"good!"
Immediately there was the sound of a large number of footsteps behind the city gate.
"Let's go in first. There are already priests and doctors waiting for you inside. The wounded will be given priority. We'll talk about other things in the city first!"
The black-haired and blue-eyed Aragorn patted Carter on the shoulder. The man in front of him who was his subordinate a few months ago had now grown to the point where he needed to look up to him.
"good"
Aris Anar, as the supreme ruler of the city during this special period, issued a policy of uniform distribution of curfews and rations. Therefore, when Carter and others entered the city, there were only well-dressed patrol soldiers and Eagle Legion soldiers taking shifts on the city wall.
Because the entire city is overcrowded, basically any gap or corner where a tent can be set up is a tent. However, even if the civilians resting there hear the noise, they do not dare to come out blatantly to check. They only dare to open a small gap to peek.
When they saw the demon heads piled on a carriage, even the well-informed elves couldn't help but stare at those strange heads with wide eyes and incredulous eyes. Two of them had normal human arms.
The large and small devil horns are the most eye-catching.
In this way, when everyone arrived at the square in front of Tal-Zhoder City Hall, what appeared in front of them was Prince Aris, who was already waiting to arrive, and a dozen officials and military officers wearing official uniforms and crowns.
"Hahaha! Welcome our hero back!"
Even though it was late at night, Aris-Annal had specially prepared several tables of food and drinks. In the dim light of the fire, they exuded a fatal attraction to the hungry soldiers who had just traveled for a day and had only eaten a little dry food.
force.
"Prince Aris, we successfully repelled the great demon of Slaanesh who led the team. This is the remains left by that beast!"
Michaela, who is the highest in terms of position and status, happily reported to Aris-Annal:
"This time we originally attacked with a certain death mentality, but Mr. Carter under your command was so amazing that he was on par with a Slaanesh Keeper. In the end, he deceived the opponent with the help of the mirror image spell, and successfully succeeded in defeating him.
Hit it hard from behind! Judging from the extent of its injuries, this Chaos army will lose its command in a short time. Even if they continue to besiege 'Tal-Zrowder', their combat power will be compromised!
The battle between Mr. Carter and the great demon of Slaanesh was really wonderful. Being able to participate in this operation side by side with him will be an unforgettable memory for me for the rest of my life..."
Wearing a suit of tailor-made tight-fitting armor, the maid of the Eternal Queen kept dancing while talking about Carter's deeds. She felt extremely honored to witness a duel between strong men. The ten surviving Eternal Guards around her and
The accompanying officers of the 21st Company also couldn't hide their pride on their faces.
Being praised by the maid who had personally served the Eternal Queen, Carter immediately became the center of attention among the hundreds of elves present.
"This is part of the scene I recorded with crystal. At first, I thought that if things went wrong, I would send back the scene of the big demon's battle so that successors could study its fighting methods and habits and find out its weaknesses, but I didn't.
To think that the birth of a hero was recorded in a crooked way!"
Just as everyone gathered around Carter to ask him about the details of the duel, a male Eternal Guard took off his enchanted helmet and took out a crystal that exuded a faint white light from his bag. This was a crystal that could record the scene.
Precious magic props, not everyone even an elf mage has such expensive props.
When Carter heard that his employer had recorded the scene of his battle, he couldn't help but cursed the wealth of the Avalon elves.
Seeing this young man from the Kingdom of Avalon taking out such a precious magic item, everyone cheered loudly, and no one wondered why he would carry such an expensive thing with him.
You must know that one of the prerequisites for becoming a guard of the Eternal Queen is to have aristocratic status, which means that in addition to being strong and loyal to the Queen, they are also rich or noble, and there are many who have mines and money at home.
"Prince Aris, can I use magic?"
"Yes! Of course, everyone here is looking forward to seeing this wonderful scene, why not! On the contrary, I would like to ask you to play it a few more times, so that all the elves in the city can watch this scene. It will be a good
Inspire people’s hearts and morale!”
Seeing that Prince Aris agreed, Carter still wanted to struggle, but before he could speak, the eternal guard from Avalon closed his eyes and recited a few spells silently, and the next moment the surrounding magical wind poured into the crystal.
After a brief burst of white light, a three-dimensional 3D picture that looked like a real person appeared above the square. Even the flowers and plants on the battlefield were restored exactly the same.
Since sound cannot be recorded, this fresh 3D image is a bit like a movie from the silent era.
Looking at this immersive scene, Carter had a headache. It wasn't that he was afraid that his strength would be exposed, but that the ninjutsu he used was a little different from the mainstream spells in this world. There were more than a dozen orthodox practitioners at the scene.
If the elf mage is suspected by them, he will be examined again.
Reliving the battle with En-Kali, the great demon of Slaanesh, with trepidation, Carter saw many of his shortcomings. Carter, who was always paying attention to the mage with his peripheral vision, was surprised to find that they didn't see any problems, they just marveled.
Yu Carter's proficiency in the wind of fire, and highly praised the timing of the use of fireballs and dragon fire.
"Oh oh oh! Well done, this lowly demon has tasted the power of our Assur!"
"When was this mirror image used? I didn't even notice it!"
The fight between the two made the elves present excited. Some young people even clenched their fists and showed nervousness and evasive movements when they saw the great demon of Slaanesh attacking Carter, as if they were the ones experiencing the battle in the picture.
Lively and joyful times always fleeting.
After the banquet, the exhausted soldiers of the 21st Company were personally led by Aris Anar and went to several villas that had been specially vacated to enjoy the soft bed treatment they had not seen for a long time.
Just when they were resting after losing a lot, the news that Nagareth, the free-flying eagle, had defeated Chaos twice in succession spread throughout Ulthuan, and before that, it was only a little famous in the south of Nagaryth. Carter also began to show his prominence on the stage of Ulthuan as the Communication Eagle soared.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Indeed, as Aris Anar said, this operation greatly boosted the morale and people's hearts. At the same time, the Chaos Legion, which lacked the restraint of strong men, fell apart overnight, forming more than a dozen people ranging from hundreds to thousands of people. There were different war groups, but three Khorne legions with a combined total of more than 20,000 people still chose to besiege 'Taal-Drowdel'.
However, at this time, Aris-Annal, an upright and powerful elf in his most energetic years, had no intention of just huddled in the city and defending.
Passively defending a city is as stupid a choice as choosing to storm a city with strong defenses, as it will allow the enemy to take the initiative.
Different from Carter's situation in Estari, most of the officers and expansion teams sent by Aris encountered considerable obstacles. Although they stumbled and barely completed the task of expanding the troops, most of the companies were not full. The Eagle Legion after the reunification and reorganization of 'Tal-Zhodel', excluding the 21st Company, should have nearly 4,300 members, but in fact, there are less than 3,500 members, and they are sent out. Most of the new companies failed to gain support from the local nobles.
Only Carter's 21st Company was a weird one. When the commanders of other companies learned that the 21st Company was fully staffed with 800 men, they were so shocked that they almost fell down.
Even if the 300 retired Estari soldiers who were temporarily added choose to stay, the 21st Company still maintains a size of nearly 600 people, and because the priests of the gods have enchanted their weapons and equipment, the 21st Company still has a strength of nearly 600 people. The combat effectiveness of the 21st Company is unparalleled in the entire Eagle Legion.
With such a tested and combat-effective force, how could Aris Anar be so patient?
When there were only 2,000 people, he dared to enter the forest and fight against the beastmen who had home field advantage, let alone now.
You must know that in addition to the Eagle Legion and the 21st Company, all of which have received Aisha's "divine grace", he also has an eighteen-member team of mages of various disciplines and an eternal guard force with strong personal combat effectiveness. Facing an army Without the great demon's legion of Khorne, he was not afraid at all even if the opponent's number was several times his own.
Therefore, on the third day after the ambush operation of 'En-Kali', when the Khorne Legion planned to besiege 'Tal-Drowdel', he chose to take the initiative to lead more than 4,000 Eagle Legion out of the city to fight. At the same time, there were The second-line troops were selected from thousands of soldiers who came from all over the south of Nagaris, and the auxiliary army consisted of nearly 2,000 people.
Seeing the elves forming small phalanxes walking out of the city gate, the Khorne believers who were camped three kilometers away from the city laughed excitedly, as if they had seen something interesting.
"Have these pointed ears had their heads damaged by their false gods? How dare they come out to face us!"
The champion warrior headed by it is extremely powerful. This is a two-meter-five-meter-tall barbarian human. After its fall, it gained the power of the evil god, which made its body so strong that ordinary people cannot understand. It has clear muscle stripes all over its body, and its thighs It is as thick as the waist of some slender female humans. After putting on the strong plate armor, the whole person becomes like a human tank. Before that, anyone who dared to challenge its authority has died.
"Put on your weapons and equipment! Since these lackeys of false gods dare to come out to fight with us, then use their blood and souls to pay tribute to our master!
Blood sacrifice to the blood god!"
"Skull-presenting skull seat ahhhh!!"
More than 20,000 Chaos Barbarian humans walked out of the messy military camp. The Chaos Warriors standing in the first row were astonishing. After putting on a full set of plate armor, they formed a black human-shaped wall with imprints on their chests or The Khorne symbol on the helmet began to glow red as they roared, and a large number of war monsters were pulled out by them on chains.
Chapter completed!
