Chapter 152, eager to make merit(1/2)
ps. This chapter is 4500 words, I wish you all enjoy it!
With the sword facing each other, Ryan held the goddess of vengeance and killed the entire orc army formation.
In the heavy rain, the Holy Grail Knight wearing Grey Knight's Psychological Armor and holding the Goddess of Nemesis is simply an invincible existence.
From bad horned beasts, horned beasts, and then to the most elite big horned beasts.
From Chaos War Dogs, Razor Beasts, to Banshees and Giant Minotaurs.
No creature is the enemy of Ryan. The sword emitting a dazzling blue light repeatedly rushed in the Beast Army. On the battlefield, any Beastman wanted to organize a counterattack. Ryan immediately rushed into it unreasonably with the goddess of vengeance in his hand, thwarting their fragile efforts.
Any resistance was shattered, leaving behind only a chaotic group of beasts and an ever-advanced army of humans.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Beast King and the Screaming Shaman immediately gave up on the most elite final bull battle group and the Cyclops battle group. They quickly withdrew from the battlefield with their elite troops, leaving behind several Beast War Gangs.
"His Excellency Ryan, don't give up on us!" A group of serfs were surrounded by wild orcs. Ryan rushed over to see this: "It's already a considerable loss.
The Goddess of Nemesis took his sword into the sheath. Ryan gasped, wearing power armor and using the Goddess of Nemesis for more than two hours in a row. He also consumed most of his physical strength, but fortunately he won in the end.
The Holy Grail Knights raised their warhammer: "Victory! We won this victory for Lady and Brittania!"
"Victory! Victory! Victory!" When everyone saw the commander's speech, everyone responded loudly.
The heavy rain, the lightning in the sky illuminated the entire battlefield. Ryan was in the shadow of the pale lightning, and his posture of standing among the piles of corpses of beastmen, deeply reflected in everyone's heart.
This is the invincible Holy Grail Knight, this is the champion of the Lake Fairy.
"Sweep the battlefield quickly and don't stay here!"
"yes!"
"Be careful of the undead beastmen, remember to make a break, we don't need prisoners!"
Ryan commanded items, and then he noticed a young man walking past his side.
It was Deni, the young man who reminded him that it would rain heavily tonight. Ryan noticed that he was holding several heads and was about to ask the Master of the Knights for reward, so he found Gabriel and whispered a few words to the Marquis.
"Oh! Of course, he will be rewarded for his actions!" Gabriel nodded repeatedly, and the rain forced him to answer loudly: "Since Your Excellency Ryan thinks he is worth it, I have no other opinion. After all, it is the victory brought to us by Your Excellency Ryan, haha!"
"Thank you very much, Gabriel, thank you very much." Ryan nodded and thanked.
After the simple communication, Ryan suddenly felt that his head was gone.
Looking back, it was Sulia, the female knight holding an umbrella for him and showed a bright smile: "His Excellency Ryan, this is my thanks to you."
"I'm going to say thank you, Miss Sulia." Ryan nodded with a smile. He was all wet now, and it was not important to play without an umbrella.
However, he understood the female knight's intentions. If he didn't hold an umbrella, he would never do it.
So the Holy Grail Knight began to issue orders: "Mr. Deny! Come here!"
The battlefield suddenly became quiet.
The serfs and knights all looked at the young man.
In the pouring rain, Deny turned around, his face with shock and unstoppable ecstasy. The young man trotted all the way to Ryan, his soaked in mud and rain: "His Excellency Ryan?"
"Let me see what you have gained?"
"Yes, yes! My Baron!" Deni offered his own gains, one horned beast and three horned beasts.
Seeing this, Ryan nodded slowly. This young man is indeed excellent enough.
He made up his mind: "Mr. Deni, please kneel down!"
"Yes! Yes! My Baron!" The young man realized something, and he was overjoyed and knelt directly on the pile of mud and corpses.
It's this, it's this! The serfs present looked at the young man kneeling in the rain with jealous eyes.
Will it happen?
"Mr. Deni, you have guaranteed the victory of this war with your news, and you have proved your strength with your bravery." Ryan said in a deep voice. Surya, who was standing beside him, could feel the Baron's seriousness.
Deni's body was trembling violently, and he just kowtowed wildly, his face covered in mud.
"Due to your contribution, I, the Lady's Champion, the Holy Grail Knight, Baron Gene Ryan Macardo, officially named you as a sergeant, are you willing?"
"Dney is willing!" The serf was still kowtowing wildly.
So the handle of the Holy Grail Knight's warhammer was gently touched on the serf's shoulder, which was considered to have completed the ceremony.
Dreams come true.
In this dark era, war is the only hope for serfs to be promoted. Perhaps the death of hundreds of serfs cannot be exchanged for the promotion of serfs, but this is the only opportunity for serfs to change their destiny.
He grasped it.
Deni just wanted to hold his head and cry.
But Ryan was unwilling to give him time to cry. The Holy Grail Knight ordered: "Cleaning the battlefield quickly, we should retreat, find a place to make fires and shelter from the rain! If this continues, everyone will get sick!"
"Yes!" The soldiers accelerated their movements, and Deni also quickly got up under Ryan's stern gaze, crying and packing things.
After simply cleaning the battlefield, the right army gathered all the troops. They found a forest canyon three kilometers away from the camp as a place to shelter from the rain. The serfs used various materials to build a simple canopy and hid inside to cook the fire. The knights also hid in tents to cook the fire, fighting in heavy rain in heavy rain. Even in summer, many knights were trembling with cold.
Compared with wild orcs, humans are even worse at fighting against heavy rain in forests.
In the military tent, Ryan, Gabriel and Julius were roasting the fire. Ryan himself was not afraid. He had psychic energy to protect his body and used psychic energy to stew his clothes dry. The three of them had boiled water and bathed one after another, and then surrounded the stove and drank the soup.
With such a fierce battle, even the powerful men of the passing level, Julius and Gabriel were exhausted.
After a while, Marquis Suria and her maid Sylvia also came to the side of the two. The female knight who had bathed in the bath had a faint fragrance, and she sat next to her brother and Ryan.
Several people began to discuss what to do next: "We repelled another attack from the Beasts, what's next?"
Gabriel smiled and said, "Don't worry, if it doesn't happen to me, the Beasts will not come to us again next."
"I have been dealing with the beastmen for more than twenty years. I know best that after encountering such setbacks, they will not fight us again unless they have to. Obviously, the charge initiated by His Excellency Ryan has caused them a lot of trouble, and the appearance of the Holy Grail Knight will make them feel scared."
Ryan smiled and said, "Yes, this is how you beat the orcs. Whoever is afraid will lose."
"At least in the next few days, we will be relatively peaceful, the troops will suffer a lot of casualties, and the knights are exhausted in the battle of heavy rain. We need a day or two to rest."
So the Right Route Army decided to rest in this canyon for the time being and wait for the rainy season to pass.
…………
When he received the news from Marquis Gabriel, Marquis Angxi was completely sure that the right-road army had encountered the main force of the Beast.
Now, don’t worry about being ambushed anymore!
So on September 3rd, he and Earl Adelaide led the Route Army and the Left Army into the forest respectively, preparing to divide the troops and attack the Beast.
Until September 5, the second day after Ryan led the team to defeat the Beasts, the two armies went into the forest completely.
During the march, the army had always encountered small groups of beastmen war gangs. Marquis Angxi was quite cautious. He restrained the knights from going deeper and not to move forward alone from the army.
Earl Adelaide is different.
Earl Adelaide of the Left Army was the Earl of the Principality of Leonard. Although he commanded the Left Army in his name, he was neither the Marquis of Angxi, who had the King's Coat of the King, and could command the army with royal power, nor was he a Holy Grail Knight like Ryan, who could rely on prestige to take over the command.
Earl Adelaide's binding force on the left line army was obviously insufficient.
When they saw a small number of beastmen appearing in front of them, the knights kept shouting and chasing them. The beastmen seemed to be frightened and fled, so the knights kept chasing them.
"Forward! Forward! For the ladies! For the Brittania!" Every knight hopes to attract the attention of the ladies through his heroic performance. Earl Adelaide is difficult to restrain the knights' desire for military achievements, or he has no intention of restraining them at all.
The main force of the Beastman is on the right side of the army, and it is dozens of kilometers away from our left side of the army!
At this time, the knights won’t make more contributions, so when will they wait?
The Knights Road Army, which had more than 10,000 people, gradually formed a long snake formation. The knights who were eager to make achievements rushed to the front of the entire team, and were several kilometers away from the serf infantry regiment and the logistics personnel of the army at the end.
On the afternoon of September 6, the army on the left advanced to a hilly area.
"My Earl, there is the Wright Forest ahead!" A knight said to Earl Adelaide.
The Wright Forest is a highland with a crisscrossing river valleys and a large terrain. Many areas of roads pass through the canyons. There are tall and dense oak forests growing here, with few shrubs, and people can travel through the forest without any obstacles.
"Very good! Soldiers, let us speed through this forest, victory is ready!" Earl Adelaide was very happy and immediately issued an order.
The knights had been walking in the dense forest for several days, and finally saw a forest where they could ride horses, so they shouted and crossed their mounts and trotted in the forest.
The joy of the knights did not last long. In the afternoon, the sky suddenly turned, dark clouds were covered with summer thunder blew in the sky.
"Damn it, it's going to rain."
"Soldiers! Hurry away from the rain!"
"Be careful, don't get wet with the armor!"
The army had to stop moving forward and find a place to shelter from the rain. The knights' serfs quickly covered the knight's armor with tarpaulin and properly preserved the knight's armor. The serfs searched for big trees to shelter from the rain in groups, and the entire army stretched for several kilometers.
The thunder became louder and the rain became heavier. The pouring rain poured over the entire Wright forest. Under the dark cloudy sky, the serf soldiers and knights could only curse this ghost weather while constantly looking for places to hide from the rain.
The forest became a swamp.
The sound of rain covered other sounds, and the mud covered the footsteps of the hooves.
In the darkness, countless evil creatures were approaching the forest. After defeating Ryan, the army of beastmen came to this forest for two days through the most secret beast path in the forest.
Hundreds and thousands of highs and three meters high, big horned beasts holding big axes were lined up, gradually approaching, behind them were thousands of horned beasts and bad horned beasts, who approached from two directions.
Hundreds of giant minotaurs approached the army from the other direction, followed by countless Chaos War Dogs, Razor Beasts and Chaos Ogres.
