Pivot of the Sky

Chapter 195: 193, David goes to war

These warriors, all from the plateau giants, excelled in trekking in the dense woods of the deep mountains and were guided by two magicians, who escaped the scouts sent by the city of Salem and entered the hinterland of the Duke Plains. The Duke Plains are highly unexploited, and many places remain bush countryside, and it is difficult to spot more than a hundred people going in.

I don't know who leaked the wind, but this team knew the exact route and timing of Joshua et al. The Guard escorted the Joshua and others into the wilderness, and that evening they had just laid down the camp, set up a large account and placed the gold plate. In prayer before dinner, a group of plateau giants with knife guns and lined up in the army suddenly broke out in the forest.

These people are huge in body and face, and the weapons in their hands are heavy and sharp. One shouted, "Where are the miners in Duke? Come out with me and you'll live! ”

The captain of the squad from Salem City, who had been a trained plateau giant who had always been a terrible warrior on the battlefield, was clearly not a wilderness explorer or a common bandit. Looking at the positions they stand in and the queues they line up, they are definitely duly manipulated soldiers, and the fighting power they play is far from comparable to that of the UAE crowd.

The enemy dressed as hunters gathered hundreds of men, and the captain had only twelve soldiers, which could not have been his opponent at all. Even more frightening is the fact that there are two other people in the other party's ranks with canes, and that the magicians can do their utmost to fight alongside the army formation, especially the trained regimental clerics.

The captain thought that he was a tribe of the Link tribe. He followed Amon in the hunting in the mountains. After years of practice, he had been a third-degree samurai. He was also a little timid. There was no excessive panic. His silent voice was slightly trembling. He whispered to Joshua: “I gathered soldiers to launch an attack. You must take advantage of the opportunity to escape as many people as you can. Go through the wilderness and go to Salem City. You must inform Lord Iso of what happened here. ”

"Not necessarily," Joshua said in silence. ”

The captain stamped his feet: "Those are the giants of the plateau. They are immensely natural! And they're not stray tribes. They're trained armies. If they don't escape, they're all gone! ”

Joshua: "There are more of them, and we cannot escape in this wilderness. ”

"Captain Dirk, assemble your team to protect that big account and the people in it, and leave the soldiers in front to us. ”

Captain Dirk stared with surprise and said, “You guys? ”

O'Donnell nodded, “Yes, let's do it. ”

……

Goliath is an aristocratic samurai, a native of a plateau giant who is not easy to possess aristocratic status. He has been a plateau giant living in the Assyrian kingdom for three generations and became an aristocrat because of his grandfather's military service. Goliath also joined the giant regiment of the Assyrian kingdom when he was an adult and became the personal guardian of the leader of the regiment, Philistine, who later became captain of the infantry battlefield.

This time a legion of giants was sent outside the Assyrian plateau, crossing that desolate and dangerous mountain, Goliath was suspicious of His Majesty's orders, and what was the most elite regiment of kingdoms sent to such a shithole? This difficult logistical support for the march is difficult, and if replaced by ordinary people, non-combat personnel will be reduced by more than half on their way across the plateau, and only one kingdom will be able to organize such migration.

It was only when he arrived in the plains that he understood what this was all about, a rich land so vast that it was awaiting reclamation and occupation, which, if fully annexed, would amount to one third of the arable land of the Assyrian kingdom and would be richer in the future than elsewhere.

But there is a city in Salem that has stopped ahead and blocked the path they have taken. The head of the Philistines Legion set up a fortification at the foot of the hill with a leading force, and with the arrival of a constant line of followers, the city of Enrique was built. If Enrique is built in the future, there is no problem in accommodating nearly 100,000 people in areas under their control. But the Kingdom of Assyria sent the most elite regiments over the plateau to come here, certainly not just to build such an offshore city.

The cultivated fields will not be harvested until after autumn, and the first “treasure” they discovered upon arrival in the Tukh plains is the Tukh townspeople's mine, home to the best iron ore and sacred stone mines on the continent, all of which are much-needed strategic supplies for the Assyrian kingdom. The first clashes with the city of Salem, when the state of Enrir was unstable and the city needed time to develop, led to successful negotiations for the time being.

The city of Enrique is now growing in size and arriving more and more people. If all supplies are to be transported through the Assyrian plateau, logistics has reached its limits and no more troops can be stationed. It is time to move south, first and foremost to conquer the city of Salem, which is only the first step in waging war and a test of the strength of the city.

In fact, many parts of the southern foothills of the Assyrian plateau produce fine iron ore, but the Duke town mine, which has already discovered the veins and mined the pits, is the richest in fine iron, and can save a great deal of manpower without having to re-explore and dig. More importantly, that place and the most concentrated production of sacred stones on the continent must first be obtained anyway.

Familiar with the distribution of minerals, good at smelting fine iron and able to take divine stones, Duke Town miners are also a fortune. They possess the skills passed down from generation to generation. On the other hand, blood sedimentation for millennia has made this tribe more good at learning this technique. Even if Duke Town minerals are handed over to others, the fire is always a few points short, and only a few people can use pure familiarity like the Duke Town miners' tribe.

Philistine was guided by the spirits, knowing that the surviving miners of the town of Duke were about to arrive in the city of Salem, and that they were the owners of that mine and could never fall into Iso's hands. It would be better to capture the most skilled miners in Enrique and kill them if it was not possible, so Goliath was sent to take charge of the operation.

Goliath commands artisans to open mines in Enrique, where life is, of course, much harder than in the city, and where work is boring and monotonous every day. He is a samurai who aspires to kill and establish merit on the battlefield, and his giant warriors, though powerful, cannot be hard-working in the total mine. After receiving orders from the Philistines' owner, he was very pleased that the commanding soldier had entered the jungle and the war awaited had finally arrived!

The secret march through the jungle, though difficult, feels much more exciting than in the mine, and there are spirits all the way pointing out in the dark what route they should take and when and where they should reach. They did stop the Duke Township miners clan with great accuracy, who were dressed up, just banging down the camp, praying to a gorgeous tent, surrounded by only a dozen cavalry men in armor and tied to a nearby tree.

Goliath felt he was a man of God's attention, as if he had seen the result of this crusade, killing all the soldiers and women and children of the other side, and bringing the strongest miners back to Enrique. In the future, after the victory of the war, he will also be able to acquire a territory in this new land of abundance by virtue of merit and become a great nobleman with a title.

Goliath stopped in front of the mountain with her hand, waiting for the other party to surrender. I saw more than a dozen soldiers on horseback, but they didn't dare to fight, but surrounded the tent in the camp, where there were prayers. Are they praying for the gods?

Goliath was surprised to see the dressed miners stand up and walk out of the camp in formation with machetes, hammers, sticks and other cluttered weapons. Twelve men were at the forefront, holding a clear, branchy iron wand, a stainless steel embryo that was not completely forged, followed by more than thirty fine men.

Goliath couldn't help but laugh. Are these people wearing shabby clothes with shabby weapons, going out and beating dogs or eating? Are they crazy enough to fight giant warriors of their own? There are two clerics in Goliath's ranks, who are infinitely more powerful than ordinary middle-class samurai fighters and think they can kill all of them.

Of course, not all of them can be killed. Most of them have to be taken back to be prisoners of war. Goliath is going to come down to Marvel and shock all these unknowable miners so that they know how good they are to surrender. He walked coldly to the open ground with a huge knife in his hand, pointing across the street: “You sinners, put down your weapons and come back with me. I promise to treat the useful miners as kindly as possible. If you try to resist, there is only one way to die! ”

Speaking, he swung the heavy knife in his hand twice, and the horrible giant blade shouted with a faint glow of air, making it as easy as waving feathers in the giant's hand.

Opposite Goliath, Ottani drank with emotion: "You are dead already! ”

The Duke Township miners' clan has experienced too much suffering and encountered enemies as they approached their homeland. For the first time, a confrontation will be waged in a positive battle, and their anger will finally be overwhelmed. In total, there are more than 60 ethnic groups, more than 40 of whom are young elite miners. Their fighting power is no less strong than that of the giants of the plateau. Especially the twelve divisions cultivate the power of both sides and have intermediate achievements. They are not afraid of this battle at all. They have not shown their strength yet!

Goliath was unaware that she was facing twelve middle-class wizards mastering middle-class somatography at the same time, and that in a regular battlefield, no magician would walk in front of a samurai. He was ready to take a giant step forward, waving a giant blade, chopping a few into two pieces, then sweeping the rest of the men with a knife, and it was estimated that the miners behind him would not be able to fight for themselves.

Yet at the moment of Goliath's sword and Otto Ni's cold drink, no one thought of a child suddenly coming out of the miners' ranks and shouting, "My God will show His power!” The voice didn't go down, and he popped a flat round stone out of his shoulder bag.

The child is David Solomon, Otto Nieben, who left him in a large tent, and a dozen non-combatants from the Turk township, such as Joshua and Moses' maids, and the youngest David. When O'Donnell led the miners steadily towards the enemy, David suddenly burst out into the crowd.

O'Donnell screamed quickly: "David, get back here!” But David has done it.

Of course, Goliath saw David, and the soldiers behind him, dozens of steps away, of course, saw him, and they laughed for a while, and nobody took David seriously. David was just a kid with a foot-long hunting knife in his waist, not even a leather coat on him, and his "weapon" was a rubber band that wrapped a stone around it, something that could kill enemies in a fight, but it was like a kid's toy in David's hand.

Goliath turned the knife peak at will, trying to bounce the stone back with a thick knife with martial skill, and directly broke David's bones, leaving this unknown child with an unforgettable lesson. However, as soon as he swung his wrist, he heard the cleric behind him drink: “Captain, look out! ”

Belt bouncing rocks fly in the air, slowing down to the ground. David is more than twenty steps away from Goliath. This stone's eyes are about to be shot by Goliath's knife, but suddenly it accelerates strangely. Goliath felt nothing but a flower in front of her, and the flying stone came through the knife like it was through the air.

Of course, stones cannot pass through the knife body. This is the acceleration of space transfer, typical intermediate auxiliary theology. The two clerics sensed fluctuations in power, and it is too late to remind them. The round stone suddenly turned into a lightning bolt with white light, and Goliath lowered her head and tried to hide, but he was too tall and the white light was hitting his forehead!

The sound of a bang suddenly smashed the rock, and Goliath's forehead fell into a huge chunk, with a knife in his hand and a huge body flashing backwards. His head was so hard, it wasn't punched through by a rock with an energy impact, but people were dead and unknown.

David was extremely agile, bouncing stones while flying forward, one leaping on Goliath, pulling out a hunting knife and chopping off his big head with a cold ray. The giant soldiers shouted and had thrown shotguns at him. Two magicians raised their staff and a flame fell on the child in the middle of the sky.

The twelve samurai were staring at each other. When they lifted their canes and rushed past them, an ice fog rolled up with the wind, breaking up the sea of fire in front of David, as if they had been negotiated, and the twelve threw a stone the size of a goose egg simultaneously. The target is clear: two clerics in each other's battlefield.

The two clerics were also unlucky enough to have no idea what kind of opponent they were facing. No magician had ever been seen in the battlefield of the Heavenly Pivot to launch a flesh punch with a weapon. The twelve sergeants simultaneously carried out the magic and threw stones, which had trembling buzzing power. The two priests couldn't help but hurry to turn their staff and instantly burst into a dirt wall in front of them. The warriors on both sides also rushed forward to wield weapons to block the arrival of stones.

These warriors disguised as hunters entered the jungle without carrying heavy shields. Some stones struck the weapons of the giant warriors, with a strong impact tremor into powder. They actually flew away, and the first stone smashed the dirt wall. Before the clergy could repair it, the second stone smashed the dirt wall into smoke dust, followed by the stone in the back through the smoke dust and smashed the applied clergy. Two priests were killed on the spot when the mist of blood exploded as a result of the painful hissing.

Stone smashing is a game that miners in Duke town have played since childhood. There is no entertainment in the monotony of miners' lives. Kids put up a stone pile on the ground and smashed it with stones from afar. It is more accurate and quicker to smash it than anyone else. If you can smash the other stone pile first, you win. The stones they throw are extremely far away. And in the hands of the twelve divisions who have mastered the power of both sides, this stone-throwing game has also become a powerful fighting skill since childhood.

By this time David had taken Goliath's hair and stood on the body of a giant, lifting his head high and drinking: "God has given us victory! ”

With the miners waving all kinds of weapons, the Twelve Soldiers Division has rushed into the battle line of giant warriors. The other side was terrified and broke down, and many soldiers turned around and ran. The opponents they encountered were horrible, and a child waved to solve the mighty leader, Goliath, before the battle had begun, and two clerics in the ranks were killed. The miners, who were already invincible in their eyes, are now as if they were the most horrible monsters in the world, and the battle cannot be fought once the formation has lost its morale.

The twelve warriors rushed to the front, like tigers into the flock of sheep, with the bright light on the iron wand, accompanied by the burst of energy shock, the giant warriors blocked in the front fell. By the time the miners in the back rushed up with big hammers and machetes, there was no need to do any more. More than a hundred giant warriors had fallen over thirty, and the rest of the birds like the Archer had scattered into the dense forest.

"In four teams, every three divisions take eight miners to search, and they can't be sent back to the ventilation letter!... Captain Dirk, you protect the camp!... David, where is David? ”

Just moments later, David had chased the escaped giant warriors into the forest, and Goliath's head had been thrown into the chest of the body. O'Donnell also commanded: "Anyone who sees David, tell him to hurry back. It will be dark soon. It is dangerous to go into the forest alone and chase the giants! ”

Today's battle was won by an opponent, and David made his first effort. Even the twelve sergeants did not know that David, a young man, had such great skill. Moses did not hold a wake-up ceremony for his strength. Who taught him that? Hunting the runaway giants in the wilderness, the sergeants began to detect the movements on all sides of the magic search. In this bush, they panicked in the night and could not get far.

Miners chased overnight in the mountains and found nearly seventy giant warriors, more than twenty of whom were slaughtered in resistance and the remaining thirty were taken prisoner. David was not back when they depressed the prisoners back to the camp. Everybody's worried. There are more than 20 giant warriors who have escaped. Is the boy in danger?
