Chapter 117 116. Solomon Bowen
Marquis Solomon Bowen rode on a black scaled horse and led a group of constructed knights up the hillside. His face was livid looking at the four catapults that had been smashed beyond recognition, and he whipped the whip in his hand at the surviving evil spirits. .
The evil ghost's chest was pierced by a knight's spear, and his hands and feet were broken by blunt objects. With a strange smile on his ferocious ghost face, he looked straight at Solomon. It turned its head and looked into the distance, and the eyes that were lit with black fire turned from dim to hollow.
The battlefield was in a mess. The gantry on the catapult gantry fell to one side. After the pile of stone bombs collapsed, stone bombs with a diameter of more than one meter rolled all over the hillside.
After Solomon Bowen patrolled the hill for a week, he hurried Viscount Willard, Earl Burns, and a group of officers to the hill. Before these people could catch their breath, Solomon Bowen Marquis was on the hillside Furiously, he cursed: "With so many people guarding here, the evil spirits can still destroy four catapults... I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation in this month's work report."
A group of officers of the expeditionary force didn't even dare to breathe in front of Marquis Bowen.
Marquis Bowen stretched out his hand and squeezed the space between his brows, before leaving, he said to Viscount Willard:
"Hurry up and let the people from the logistics department come up to repair these catapults. I need to see 20 catapults intact before tomorrow morning, right on this hill!"
"Yes, Lord Marquis." Viscount Willard gave a military salute.
Marquis Solomon Bowen rode on a black scaled horse and led a group of constructed knights down the hillside. He saw a group of heavy cavalry cleaning up the battlefield by the bushes at the foot of the hillside. And wipe off the sticky purple blood on the spear, and cut off the head of the beheaded evil spirit and take it away.
The heavy cavalry helped everyone out of the siege at the time when the second squad and Bartbury squad were in the most critical situation. These spoils should belong to the heavy cavalry.
It's just that everyone didn't expect that Marquis Solomon Bowen would stop here when he saw four corpses wrapped in linen lying on the ground while riding a horse.
The soldiers of the two infantry squads were treating their injured companions urgently. Because some people died in battle, the atmosphere here seemed very dull.
All the fighters were injured to varying degrees, but they could survive under such circumstances, which probably was beyond the expectation of the fighters of Bartbury's team.
Marquis Solomon Bowen got off his horse, walked to the infantry soldier who died in battle with a serious face, bent down and picked up the soldier's nameplate from the linen-wrapped corpse, and looked at the name on the nameplate seriously, Reid, Norton , Hetty, Brant Ward... He read each name very carefully. The decree lines on his face are very deep, and people can tell at a glance that he is a nobleman who has been in a high position for a long time.
Only at this time, the soldiers of the two teams felt that he was still a good commander. Maybe people would die every day on the battlefield, but there were always some soldiers who died in battle that were admirable. That's it, at the most critical juncture, the soldiers did not give up their line of defense, which in itself was fighting with a heart of death.
Marquis Bowen did not underestimate them because they were civilian infantry soldiers. He carefully wiped the blood stains on the nameplate and gave a standard military salute to the dead soldiers. Then Marquis Bowen gave a military salute to the infantrymen who died in battle.
Captain Bartbury was standing straight aside with one injured arm hanging.
Marquis Solomon Bowen said to all the soldiers of the two teams: "You are a group of brave fighters. I hope that one day I can personally wear the Medal of Courage on your chest..."
The Marquis of Bowen was still about to say something, but the guards on the side whispered a few words in his ear at the right time, the expression of the Marquis Bowen changed slightly, he rode on his horse with a tiger face, and galloped towards the main battlefield with a group of knights in costumes go.
Captain Bartbury didn't look back until Marquis Bowen disappeared on the hillside.
…
He Boqiang treated the soldiers of the second team with a straight face. The pale golden light penetrated He Boqiang's palm and covered the wound of the red sock.
The red socks only felt a warm breath, which made the wound itchy and numb, but He Boqiang didn't allow him to move around, and it was very uncomfortable for a while. When he finally pulled his arm back, he found that a layer had grown on the wound. The thin oil film, as long as the wound is not scratched, I believe it will recover soon.
Suldak showed his bravery this time, allowing the second team to fight side by side with Bartbury's team. Although it gained Bartbury's friendship, it also caused a substantial reduction in the second team. The fighters had to be sent back to the camp to recuperate. This battle could have been avoided.
However, the soldiers of the squad were very satisfied with the result of this battle. This group of guys didn't even care that the spoils were taken away by the heavy cavalry. For them, going through this test of life and death is the most precious thing. Even the eyes of the seriously wounded had a look of pride.
When the heavy cavalry left, they only took away the head of the evil spirit, leaving the body of the evil spirit intact. They even intentionally left the weapon in the hands of the evil spirit on the battlefield.
Suldak dragged his tired body, and started a new round of skinning operations. After a few times of "Eye of Reality", Suldak was already very familiar with the black devil's skin on the evil spirits. With experience, you can peel off the black-striped demon skin.
When the second team left, Suldak actually kept all the black-striped magic skins obtained in this battle.
Five seriously injured soldiers were lying on a flatbed cart, and the carriage slowly drove back to the expeditionary army camp amidst the creaking sound like grinding teeth.
When the second team walked out of the last forest with the team of the logistics department, a maroon ancient Bolai horse suddenly jumped out from a hill, and it ran for a while on the grass with the team of the logistics department After that, he returned to the high hill and stood on an open stone cliff.
At this time, He Boqiang felt an unspeakable strong feeling in his heart, the war horse was watching him from afar.
Suldak ended the test of the reserve knight ahead of schedule.
…
When returning to the camp, Suldak felt that since both he and Laurent Goss withdrew early, the biggest winner should be Kelly Abbe's Death Squad who persisted until the end.
It's just that everyone didn't expect that the soldiers of the second team were the last team to return to the camp.
Kerry Abbe's Reaper Squad also came back ahead of schedule.
So far, Earl Mond Goss' reserve knight test has ended hastily after a day.
And Suldak also became the winner of this test by hunting six evil spirits in one day, officially became the deputy squadron leader of the sixth squadron of the fourth brigade, and became Old York's deputy.
Earl Mond Goss read out the decision, and some people questioned how Suldak, an eighth-level fighter, defeated these evil spirits.
You must know that Carey Abbe and Laurent Goss brought a group of experienced ninth-level fighters into the battlefield to hunt down evil spirits this time, but they failed to take advantage of it. How did Suldak do it? Where did you arrive?
Faced with doubts, Suldak walked out of the tent of the 57th Regiment on the spot and tore open a magic scroll on the spot.
A wind blade flew past the questioner's cheek, scaring the questioner's face pale, Suldak took the opportunity to walk up to him, stared at him fiercely and asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask?" ?"
The questioner closed his mouth, his face turned blue and then pale, and he didn't say anything.
The other captains of the Fifty-Seven Heavy Armored Infantry Picture looked at Suldak in surprise. None of them thought that Suldak would give such an answer.
That young boy who greeted everyone with a smile and a polite manner suddenly grew up one day and became the squadron leader of the fifty-seventh regiment. Although everyone was prepared in their hearts, they couldn't stop their surprise. young.
Even the old Sam, who was most familiar with him, looked at Suldak suspiciously, and then he looked at He Boqiang standing in the crowd.
Suldak became the fastest-promoted civilian soldier of the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment. He was promoted twice in a month, which is too young...
