Demon Lord

When Kodak passed the secret message in the air, Rody in a plain gray robe was sitting in front of the bonfire in the camp, listening to the bragging of the heroes from all walks of life around him.

His sword is heavy, and my wrist was numb when I blocked it for the second time, but this guy has no other advantages other than his strength. My pace is so smooth and hey! Let that guy lose his center of gravity on the spot, and he was beaten by me. The ax has been fired!

Ooh

Tsk tsk tsk...

There was a sound of exclamation, and the big man who told his story was full of pride.

After following Mirno's troops for two days, the Crusaders joined by Rody have just arrived at the edge of Bergen's territory. According to the route planned by Viper's Cross, they will then detour north for a short distance. Then attack from the northeast corner of Efta.

This is the attack route that Mirno announced to the troops, saying that only in this way can they collect enough food, and even surprise them, catching Efta's defenders by surprise. Of course Rody scoffed at this, because the second day after he joined the team as a down and out nobleman, he overheard the conversations of several key figures at night, and judged that the real target of Viper Cross was actually It is the Kiss of the Viper scepter of the Holy Temple!

The current method of Viper Cross is relatively hidden. It has never stated any attack target to the outside world. Even when recruiting the so-called Crusader, it said that it was to attack Efta and serve Karen royal family.

But in fact, the operation of Snake Cross was led by three elder-level powerhouses, each of whom was in charge of a troop, and each troop was restrained and managed by three to five bishops. There were about 2,000 people in it. The soldiers fought under the banner of Viper Cross, which belonged to the loyal sect armed forces displayed on the surface. At the same time, Rody also learned from their conversation that there is an elite hidden in the dark... but he doesn't know how many people this so-called elite has.

The remaining 7,000 people are all the Crusaders that Rody is currently in. This army is composed entirely of hired knights and knight retinues, and there are all kinds of people mixed with them. Although they were knights absorbed by the Viper Cross, Rody found that when these bishops declared to the outside world, they all referred to the Crusaders as soldiers who fought for His Majesty Charles II.

The purpose of this kind of publicity is very simple, it is to cover up the fact that Viper Cross is the main body of this team. This method sounds naive, but it is actually very effective in this era of underdeveloped communications. How can the absorbed knights care what the bishops say? They don't care who their allegiance is, only the commission.

During the two-day march, no one came around to announce teachings or preach, so no one in this team thought that they were fighting for the Viper Cross.

In their conversations, everyone believed that their destination was Efta, and they did not think about any other possibilities at all.

Hey, your name is... Rafael, right? Come up here and try your hand! Judging by your appearance, you probably haven't been on a battlefield. If you really fight, don't pee your pants!

There is a shortage of entertainment programs in this era, so it is natural for a group of enthusiastic mercenaries to gather together for various competitions. Rody has been keeping a low profile these days like a passer-by, but he really can't avoid contact with everyone, so it's inevitable that he was pulled out by a few people in the camp to compete.

Zach Knight, I can't match your skill. It's okay for me to compete with Palf and the others.

Rody used a pseudonym. At this time, he waved his hands with a little fear in his eyes. This kind of flattery naturally made the big man named Zach proud, but he didn't intend to let Rody go. He grabbed his arm with his big hand and pulled him up: Come on, make gestures. Gestures, three strokes, click till the end.

I'm good.

Cowardly and hesitantly agreeing, Rody took out a dagger that was handed over from someone else, and made a gesture of raising his hand awkwardly.

No one uses wooden swords here because they are joked about as children's toys. And after Rody pretended to use too much force, he found that Zac did have two moves. He easily blocked and then made two strong attacks. long sword

Don't fight, don't fight, Zach Knight, you are like a mountain when you come over, I can't hide...

Rody begged for mercy, with a look of weakness on his face.

Hahaha, you kid is too weak. If this goes to the battlefield, it's better to rely on the latter point to catch the leak.

That's what I thought too, I guess no one will be able to cut it down...

There was a burst of laughter by the campfire, and Rody's performance was almost at the bottom of their camp. On the other hand, because of his tall stature and strength, Zach has faintly become a leader-like figure. Similar situations happened in every camp. Where there are people, there are ups and downs. In the entire Crusader, Rody has obviously been regarded as a marginal figure with little force value.

Or...cannon fodder.

After the contest ended, Rody was a little embarrassed. When he returned to sit by the bonfire, the knights around him saw that his strength was so weak, and they spoke with a bit of contempt. Roddy still greeted him with a smile, looking submissive. However, while talking and laughing, some crying and movement came from a distance. Rody raised his eyebrows, pretended not to understand, and grabbed the hilt of his sword, and said nervously, What's going on? Is it an enemy attack?

Enemy attack? Hahaha...

The knights around laughed together, and Zach took a sip of ale and laughed, Looking at you like this, you are probably under twenty years old, and it's normal if you don't understand. Hey, you kid hasn't fucked a woman yet. Right? I really want to experience the taste, let’s go to the village to get some to taste tomorrow?”

Rody didn't know what that sound was...Mirnor's army and the Christian army in the Viper Cross had strict military discipline, but what kind of organization did the Crusader have? There are many people who kill, burn and loot in order to make a living.

The sounds in the distance are simply the sounds of women struggling to be bullied after the village was looted by knights. No one here talks about the rules of knights. This kind of situation doesn't only happen in the miscellaneous army. In fact, most armies will have similar situations after going out, and no matter who the leader is, they basically turn a blind eye.

Even in the so-called civilized age that Rody once lived in, there are still records of armies doing harm to all directions, not to mention the dark and primitive Karen Kingdom right now.

Zach Knight is very good at talking. From the current topic, he quickly talked about the women he had been with, and the dirty jokes naturally attracted a group of viewers. Rody was indifferent in his heart, but his face showed a look of hunger and curiosity, and he swallowed from time to time, which made everyone laugh at his performance...

This is completely a junior brother who has never even been on the battlefield. In terms of combat effectiveness, I am afraid that a few strong followers will be better than him.

Obviously, no one would have thought that this immature young man in front of him would have any connection with Efta.

At this time, the gloomy Earl Mirno would not know that... his greatest enemy was actually within 800 meters of him in a straight line.
