Chapter 228: Red like rain (1)

Rand passed the line of defense.

The defense line, which had become much cleaner and more complete after being repaired and cleaned, now had many more bloodstains and scorch marks.

Apparently, a bloody battle took place here.

Rand was silent for a while. He knew very well that there were only more than a hundred troops stationed on the defense line. After such a fight, they might have been wiped out.

However, at least Rand confirmed that the enemy was Pero, and Pero's target was Crescent Territory.

So Pero wanted to raid his Crescent Territory and eliminate its war potential?

Rand wasn't so sure.

But at least, Pero's marching direction has been determined.

I hope he can make it in time to save the situation.

Rand is actually under a lot of pressure now, because his own troops are obviously smaller than the enemy's, and the opponent has already been completely certain that it is Perot.

Then the other side must have advanced troops like the Feihu Army.

You need to think of a good strategy, otherwise if you make a mistake, you may be doomed.

Lisa, who was accompanying the army, was not nervous at all.

When Lisa is serious, she is always quite reliable, but she is like this most of the time, doing her own things carelessly, and is hardly affected by the external atmosphere and environment.

For example, right now, Lisa is fiddling with her mechanical parts.

Lisa didn't bring the cat ears and cat tail. What she was fiddling with now was a mechanical arm guard.

Ever since losing the last challenge to Elsa and Olenna, Lisa has learned her lesson and has been tinkering with this mechanical prop whenever she has free time.

It looks like he really wants to use mechanical props to avenge his previous humiliation.

I haven't seen her researching the miniature vibration communication device for some time.

"I hope it's not too late." Rand looked at the sky and muttered to himself.

Since Pero did not choose to occupy the defense line to attack his reinforcements, the goal must be to achieve the strategy of destroying the main village of Crescent Territory before nightfall.

Although it is a little darker now, it is not yet dusk.

Maybe they can arrive in time and save the situation before the enemy breaks into the village.

Rand now leads an army of 800 men, the core of which is a 120-man guard.

In addition, there are 65 cavalrymen, and the rest are infantry.

But they are well-trained and determined, and are by no means comparable to ordinary infantry.

…

Karin finally rejected Taran's proposal.

It’s not that she has any deep feelings for this village, but she simply wants to see the changes in the world.

Since these people belong to the cult leader, Rand Cameron.

So, could their enemy be the Torch Church?

Maybe she could even see some old acquaintances who had sacrificed their lives in the fight against the Suffering Blood.

Under normal circumstances, Taran would have tried to persuade her, after all, he had a good impression of this quiet blind girl.

And she just does the work when she's told to, without any princess's temper.

Although she looks like a spoiled princess and her hands don't have any calluses from work, she is very practical and has a good personality.

Although it was a pity, Taran didn't have the time.

The soldiers on the defense line were using their lives to buy time, and he absolutely could not waste it.

The next moment after confirming the situation, Taran ordered the activation of the wartime emergency plan.

All adult and middle-aged villagers were issued weapons, the militia was equipped with weapons and armor, and the garrison was lined up.

The elderly, women and pregnant women were asked to hide in the cellar, or simply stay in the house and not go out.

Fleeing now is a very dangerous act. Taran had previously asked Karin to take the little girl to Crescent Territory out of selfish motives, and he planned to arrange horses for them.

Otherwise, during this period, if you want to leave the village and go to the wild, it is better to stay in the village.

It is better to pray that the enemy will not massacre the whole village after conquering it than for the old, young, women and children to stay in the wild.

Then Taran sent people to urgently contact the surrounding villages and transfer the Tauren people over.

In fact, other villages may also be attacked, but only here can we defend it.

Therefore, Taran concentrated his forces without hesitation.

Now it depends on how long the soldiers on the defense line can delay. If they can hold out until the surrounding Tauren arrive, then the chances of holding the position will be much greater.

Crescent Territory is not small, and it is probably impossible to transfer all the Tauren in Crescent Territory here, but if we only mobilize the Tauren nearby, it may still be possible.

But it's just a possibility.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

According to the report from the scout who came from the defense line, the enemy seemed to have two thousand men, including a large number of elite knights who were armed to the teeth.

It is very likely that the enemy will not arrive much later than the scouts.

As Taran's order was issued, the entire core village of the Crescent Territory fell into a tense atmosphere.

This is the largest village in the entire Crescent Territory, with the largest population and the most armed forces, but it is just a village after all. Facing a large number of enemies, the chances of winning are slim.

But they intended to resist rather than surrender immediately.

In fact, although they, even Taran, can be considered Rand's loyal subjects, they will definitely not die for Rand immediately if asked to do so.

However, they would never abandon the village just like that, nor did they intend to surrender.

Since accepting Rand's rule, they have learned new farming methods, obtained new, though strange, friendly livestock and missionaries, and taxes have been reduced.

Seeing that life was about to get better and become stable, someone actually wanted to come and take it away or destroy it? Then all the villagers in the Crescent Territory, including Taran, had to say this word.

"impossible!"

If you want to plunder, if you want to loot, if you want to burn down the villages, just step over their dead bodies first.

After everyone is ready.

The nearby minotaurs arrived first.

Taran breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the minotaurs to put on their armor. Then, outside the village, they could see Perou's massive army.

The minotaurs' armor is no longer the crudely made patchwork of iron plates like it was when they first faced the knight infantry of the Snow Fox Countess.

Now they are all wearing complete and well-made armor.

They were lined with cotton armor and each of them held a double-edged axe, looking like they were not easy to mess with.

If we compare the combat power of the same type, a fully armed Minotaur is much stronger on the ground than a fully armed male Naga.

Karin hid in the room with the little girl from old Tata's family. Although the doors and windows were closed, Karin could still feel the outside world by relying on her temperature perception ability.

Although Karin's temperature perception range has been greatly weakened due to her greatly weakened strength, she can still sense the situation nearby.

And Karin could clearly feel the tense atmosphere in the village.

And the determination of these people to resist.
