Chapter 23(2/2)
Kermilla pressed the wound and nodded fiercely.
Although the battle just now lasted only a short time, he was deeply aware of the thrills involved. That weirdo boss was really terrifying. Now, after all, reinforcements suddenly appeared. The smarter ones should have quietly surrounded them.
, taking advantage of the crowd to kill him in one fell swoop. With Link restraining him and a large number of people, this was an excellent opportunity. Unfortunately, this kid Zisny didn't understand the principle of alerting the enemy.
He shouted from afar, but the result was that he scared the guy away.
"Huh", Zisne ignored Link's shouting. He looked at the weird boss walking away, and he seemed to relax, and he shouted with lingering fear: "Fortunately, I scared him away!"
"Not bad?!" Link frowned and looked at the smoke and dust still billowing in the distance, feeling a little bad in his heart.
"Knight Link", Zisne dismounted and said, "Imperial reinforcements are reporting to you!"
"Reinforcements?" Link and Kermilla looked at each other: "Where are the people?!"
Zisny straightened his chest and performed a standard military salute: "Here! They are all here!"
"Isn't it?!" Link sat down frustrated and said, "That's true!"
After he calmed down just now, he felt something was wrong.
There has been peace on the mainland for too many years, and the soldiers in the army have been very lax in their daily drills. Even if the garrison of Saren City took action immediately after receiving the news sent by Zisne, it would not be possible.
It is very possible that a relatively large-scale army was assembled in such a short period of time and marched quickly to reach the small town.
Now following Zisny's gesture, those guys who were making noise in the distance also stopped their activities and gathered together. It turned out that they were the soldiers who had just scattered and ran away. They met Zisny halfway and were captured by Zisny.
It's scary when gathered together.
The smoke that seemed to be churning violently was actually caused by them tying branches behind the horses' tails and then deliberately dragging them around.
Zisne touched his head and told Link and Kermilla about his experiences in the past few days.
The garrison and officials of Salem City were a little unprepared for the failure of such a vigorous campaign to suppress bandits by the two empires. After discussion, they made the decision to take over and arrange the residents of the town. However, for
Zisny's request to send reinforcements to help defend the town was evaded by both of them.
Why do you say that the last time the two imperial coalition forces jointly suppressed the bandits, there were 70,000 to 80,000 people. How many people were there in the entire Saren City garrison?!
God knows how powerful those gangsters are. Even if the entire garrison of Saren City is added up, there are still only tens of thousands of them. Isn’t that not enough for them to kill?
Thinking of this, of course, the officers and gentlemen who had been unable to participate in the battle to gain military exploits showed little enthusiasm for Zisny's request to go to the town to help defend against bandits.
So since arriving there, Zisny has been following the garrison commander and asking questions. The only answers he got were to ask for instructions, study, ask for instructions, and study again...
Zisny had no other choice, but he still remembered his promise that he would come back within two days no matter what, so seeing that there was no hope of mobilizing reinforcements from Saren City, he simply ran back by himself.
After listening to Zisny's words, everyone around him, including Kermilla, fell silent for a while.
Everyone here understands what the lack of reinforcements from Saren City means to the town.
Although they have successfully defended the town in the past two days without even paying any price, everyone knows that this is definitely not a long-term solution.
Now the refusal of the Saren City garrison means that the empire's reinforcements are unlikely to arrive in a short time, which actually means that their last hope of defending the town has been shattered.
"It's nothing." Link stood up, but a smile appeared on his face: "At least we have allowed the residents of the town to reach Saren City safely, right?!"
"There is still a chance to save the town." Link looked at Zisne and the others, his expression having completely regained his composure: "Actually, we shouldn't have gone to Saren City to find reinforcements from the beginning, we should have gone to Fort Colo."
"Fort Colo?" Zisner scratched his head: "Is it useful?"
"Of course," Link puffed out his chest and raised his belly, pointing at Kermilla and said, "Ask him, Lord Viado of Coloburg and I are old friends. What a great friendship!"
"That's right!" Kermilla also jumped up from the ground and shouted excitedly: "Master Viado takes great care of Link. If he hears something happens to Link, he will definitely kill him!"
"Really?!"
"Lord Victoria!"
"Knight Link, you are so awesome!"
The soldiers all looked at Link with admiration and envy. Lord Victoria, the deputy commander of the third border guard force of the province, what kind of big shot is he? Knight Link actually has friendship with him!
"Okay, let's decide like this!" Link waved his hand and said: "Comilla, Chisne and you all, all set out immediately to go to Master Victoria to bring reinforcements! This time you will give me
Waiting there, you won’t be allowed to come back until Master Victoria sends troops, do you know?!”
"Got it!" The soldiers all nodded in agreement.
Only Kermila opened her eyes wide: "Just us going? What about you?"
"Even if Sir Victoria summons troops to kill us right away, it will still take several days!" Link turned to follow Kermilla and said, "Don't forget that we promised those Aunts Ever and the others that day to protect the town.
Unharmed, so I want to stay!"
He stretched out his hand to prevent Kemilla from speaking, and then said: "You are injured now, and you can't help me if you stay. It's better to go find Master Victoria. With you leading the way, they can get to Kemei faster."
Luo Bao, you can’t be worried about me, right? You should know that in the big forest, I’m much more powerful than you!”
Kermilla opened her mouth, but in the end she had no choice but to nod, because what Link said was true.
"Don't worry about me," Link laughed, "Damn it, Master Calvin has already taught me what tricks I need to use to win over a perverted person!"
