Chapter 22 Repel the enemy
Chapter 22 Repel the enemy
Facing the flying spears and the fleeing soldiers, Thanos seemed to be in a life crisis.
But there was only calm in his eyes, without any panic or fear.
Because he understands one thing very well.
The more flustered you are when you encounter danger, the more mistakes you will make, which will eventually lead to irreversible consequences.
So even if he was about to die in the next second, he would face it calmly instead of being filled with fear.
Seeing this scene, Su Mante panicked in the distance.
You must know his future and destiny, but he is tightly bound with Thanos.
If Thanos has any ups and downs, then his future is basically gone.
After all, in the wizarding world, there are too many third-level apprentice knights, but there are not many wizard apprentices, so they will choose apprentice knights who don't know the basics.
It is a matter of loyalty and trust.
Apprentice wizards generally would rather retrain a knight by themselves than choose an apprentice knight who became a monk halfway through.
But Sumante is useless no matter how anxious he is.
Because he and Thanos were separated by more than 50 meters, and there were thirty or forty soldiers in between, so it was impossible to pass.
Just when the spear was about to hit Thanos, the next moment, a tall figure stood in front of him.
It was the zombie who had been guarding him all the time.
At the most dangerous moment, he finally let the zombie stand in front of him.
Only this kind of undead who is completely under his control will protect him regardless of his life.
But the powerful force of the spear quickly penetrated the zombie's body three times harder than ordinary people with a "poof", and stabbed at Thanos.
"Roar!"
At this time, the zombie let out a roar, grabbed the tail of the spear with both hands, and barely stopped the spear.
The reason why I say reluctantly is because the head of the spear pierced Thanos' body.
Seeing a little blood flow out of his chest, Thanos took a step back.
Fortunately, it was only pierced a little bit, and what was suffered was only skin trauma.
But even so, he looked at the gray troll leader in the distance, full of fear.
Unexpectedly, an ordinary life without extraordinary power could burst out with such a powerful force.
It seems that my plan is still not comprehensive enough, so I almost explain it here.
And the leader of the gray troll was a little exhausted after throwing the spear with all his strength.
It is true that he is powerful, but he is just an ordinary life. He does not have extraordinary power in his body, so it is impossible to achieve inexhaustible power.
When he saw that the spear he threw with all his strength failed to kill the target, he suddenly became anxious.
A wizard played too much role in this small war.
If you can't kill the opponent, then the gray trolls yourself will not survive a few.
But no matter how anxious he was, it was useless, because at this time, the surrounding soldiers, urged by their respective captains, slowly surrounded him with spears and shields.
However, the other gray trolls also followed at this time, so it wouldn't make the gray troll leader fall into the situation of fighting alone.
After the human soldiers and the gray trolls fought for more than ten minutes, Thackeray finally brought the militia over.
After all, this is Zixi Town, which belongs to human territory, so the support is naturally very fast.
Although the combat effectiveness of these poorly equipped militias is not strong, in this anxious battle, there are two different things if there is support or not.
What's more, the gray troll doesn't know if there is any new support for humans.
Soon, the morale of the gray troll who was surrounded on three sides dropped drastically.
Many gray trolls had no intention of fighting, and even looked left and right, as if looking for a way out.
Seeing this, the leader of the gray troll knew that nothing could be done, so he could only order his subordinates to retreat.
Because the gray troll is tall, has advantages in size and strength, and there is no one blocking it behind, it retreats very quickly.
After leaving the city gate, their speed is comparable to cavalry, and it is difficult for humans to catch up.
But Thanos saw the enemy leaving the gate of the city, but he had no intention of revenge, but instead prevented Sumant from pursuing him.
"Settle the wounded and the dead first."
It's night time soon.
The moon and stars in the sky began to appear slowly.
In the burned and dilapidated mayor's mansion, Thanos sat in front of the gate, calmly looking at the stars in the sky.
At this time, the wound on his chest was bandaged, and it was no longer serious.
However, it still takes a night of meditation to restore the mana to exhaustion, and now, it's time to prepare to pick the fruit.
So he didn't even go back to that temporary home, but in front of the mayor's mansion.
After a while, Chief Soldier Roger brought Sarah the Tax Collector, Marco the Chief of Police, and Fernando the Administrator.
These four people can be said to be the actual rulers of Zixi Town.
"Master Thanos, why did you call us here?"
Thanos still looked towards the sky, and ignored the four of them immediately.
This made Roger, Sara, Marco and Fernando very dissatisfied.
Because at this time, in their minds, the civilians had just experienced riots in the morning, and the natives attacked the city at noon. At this time, Thanos should be very afraid and need them very much.
Seeing them now, how could they be so rude, or even indifferent.
So the four of them looked at each other a few times, then nodded tacitly.
It seems that some kind of agreement has been reached.
Of course Thanos was aware of this, but he didn't care.
Because after tonight, he was the only voice in Zixi town.
After a few minutes, Sarah finally couldn't take it anymore.
"Mayor Thanos, we are still very busy. There are many dead and injured that we need to arrange and deal with. If there is nothing wrong, then let's go first."
After finishing speaking, it seemed that he didn't intend to wait for Thanos' response at all, and he raised his leg and wanted to leave here.
At this time, Thanos said slowly: "General Roger, I want to ask you a question. At noon, when everyone and I were working hard, where were you?"
Hearing the question, General Roger's whole body suddenly trembled.
He knew that Thanos was attacking him.
But what he didn't understand was why they called Sarah, Marco and Fernando since they were attacking him.
After all, these three people are not with each other.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Mayor Thanos, I'm sorry about the noon incident, but at noon I was inspecting the mining area with the soldiers, and I didn't know anything about the indigenous siege here, so I accepted it." arrive"
Before he could finish speaking, Thanos reached out his hand impatiently and interrupted him.
"I don't care what your reasons are. Negligence is dereliction of duty. However, I've been thinking of you for so many years without any credit or hard work. Therefore, you will be dismissed from the position of chief soldier and start as a soldier!"
Roger's whole body was shocked, and his heart was full of anger and resentment.
Although he knew that as long as Thanos was still alive, this day would come soon, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
This made it impossible to use all the means he was preparing.
