Chapter 44
""Capture them all!"
With a command, Gruin led the dragonblood warriors and rushed towards the enemy camp.
Then other high-level soldiers also took action and swarmed forward.
The lord said to capture them alive, so archers were naturally useless. With so many people on the other side, all melee soldiers had to surround them.
The knight commander obviously did not expect that this group of fleeing defeated soldiers would dare to attack directly. In a rage, he did not even think about escaping, but instead wanted to kill.
""Looking for death! Brothers, follow me and defend the territory!"
With a shout, the cavalry immediately attacked and launched a counterattack against Wu Wei's soldiers.
In their opinion, although the number of defeated soldiers was scary, there were no strong ones in them. The strongest seventh-level knights had only about fifty people, not as many as them. What would it matter if they fought with them?
Hundreds of knights stimulated their fighting spirit and drew their swords together, with an extremely amazing momentum.
The swordsmen also drew their swords on horseback. Although they were not cavalry-type soldiers, they not only had no combat power bonus when fighting on horseback, but also had some impact. However, the number was here, which looked very bluffing.
Thousands of light cavalry even took off their bows and arrows, drew arrows, strung them, and aimed, all in one go.
Horseback archery is the most basic and most important skill of light cavalry. The arrows shot by them are as powerful as those of archers. Although the range is not as good, their shooting speed is faster.
Wu Wei's order was to capture them alive, so he did not let the archers baptize with arrows, but they did not mean to hold back.
Seeing that they dared to resist, Wu Wei immediately snorted:
"In front of our army, you still dare to fight back? All Dragon Blood Warriors, listen to my order, attack with all your strength, and quickly take it down! If you are disabled, I will treat you."
""Yes!"
The dragonblood warriors shouted in unison and instantly used the dragonblood transformation, including Gruin.
When the dragonblood warriors rushed to the other side, they had already turned into a group of extremely powerful heavy-armored half-dragons.
The arrows shot by the light cavalry fell on them, and they could not even break through the dragon scale armor on their bodies and were directly bounced off.
The knights were shocked when they saw this. Just as they realized that something was wrong, the dragonblood warriors had already rushed in front of them, and the dragon-slaying swords slashed out wildly, slashing out dozens of huge blood-qi blades.
The knights' eyes suddenly burst, and the fatal sense of crisis made their scalps numb.
All their fighting spirits burst out with all their strength, hoping to compete with this wave of blood-colored slashes.
Unfortunately, the result gave them a bloody lesson.
The violent blood-colored blade group rushed past, and the unparalleled sharpness and great power killed the warhorse, broke the knight's armor, cut through the fighting spirit defense layer, and slashed the knights into the sky, wailing and falling.
The eighth-level blood-colored dragon-slaying slash, wherever the blade points, everything will be broken!
"An eighth-tier soldier that doesn't rely on a mount! What kind of soldier is this?! How can it be so strong?! This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
The Knight Commander barely survived the first wave of attacks with his strength stronger than that of an ordinary knight, but he was already frightened and lost his composure.
Gruin took a step forward and came in front of him. He broke his hastily awakened counterattack with a punch, and then grabbed his neck with lightning speed and pulled him into the sky.
He roared, attracting the attention of the whole audience.
"The Knight Commander has been captured!"
"Damn it! The Knight Commander had already broken through to the eighth level, but he was caught so easily. What kind of strength is this guy?"
"What should I do now?"
······
Kate's soldiers immediately fell into a dilemma of being leaderless and unable to move forward or backward, and were surrounded by Wu Wei's soldiers.
Gruin looked at the Knight Commander in his hand with a smile, and persuaded him to surrender in a deep voice:"You should be thankful that our Lord is kind and did not blame you for your offense, otherwise there would be a river of blood here now!"
"Let your people lay down their weapons and surrender, and we can punish you leniently. Otherwise, I will kill you, and everyone here will die, and even your lord will be implicated! By then, not only will you die unjustly, but you will also be cursed by your lord, and you will not be honored after your death!"
"A true knight shouldn't die in such humiliation. Surrender. We shouldn't be enemies. After all, my master is not the enemy of your lord. After all, we are soldiers of the same camp and won't do anything to you."
Gruin followed what Wu Wei told him and gave him a reason and a way out.
The Knight Commander did see that they didn't kill anyone, so after hesitating for a while, he chose to believe it and spoke loudly, asking his men to lay down their weapons.
"These are all misunderstandings, these are friendly forces, everyone lay down your weapons and don’t let the conflict escalate!"
"Put down your weapons quickly!"
The soldiers who were already hesitant stopped resisting after hearing the commander's words, and were captured by Wu Wei's soldiers one after another.
Soldiers led by hero units will obey the commander's orders as if they were listening to the lord's words. If even the commander ordered them to surrender, they would basically not disobey, unless these soldiers were not God-given soldiers summoned from the territory buildings, but were naturally born and trained by ordinary humans with heroic potential. Do n't think that Wu Wei and his guys are too easy and too tricky. The principle of capturing the king first is also universal in this world.
As the saying goes, a bad soldier will make a bad general. Although this knight commander is strong enough, he is obviously not a brave and fearless warrior who is not afraid of life and death.
——After all, he had worked hard to become a knight from an ordinary person, activated the hero template, and now became a capable general of an earl, enjoying wealth and glory. How could he be willing to die in such an unclear way? The desire to live has overwhelmed his rationality, making him subconsciously not think about whether these people would be detrimental to his lord. At this time, the mentality of luck has overshadowed the knight's virtues, which are not much.
In fact, this is one of the disadvantages of the normal intelligent race people promoted to hero commanders. They have their own ideas and interests, personalities and world outlooks. They are easily affected by their own subjective consciousness during combat, and the changes in their loyalty to the lord will be more unpredictable.
However, the hero units that are made by the God-given arms will not have this problem. Before their loyalty drops to the critical value, they are loyal and fearless, and will strictly execute orders. This kind of persuasion is unlikely to succeed.
For example, Alexiel and Hegenev, Wu Wei does not have to worry about their loyalty to him, nor does he have to worry that they will pretend to obey when they are not around, or do something that may harm Wu Wei's interests because of fear of death.
Unfortunately, such hero units are too rare, and all lords want them. Even if a first-level soldier accidentally becomes a hero unit, he will be vigorously cultivated by the lord so that he can use it with more confidence.
Wu Wei can create soldiers, so he has a special method to get such heroes. Others can only rely on luck. Even if there are props that can help soldiers become heroes, they are not available to ordinary lords.
