Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

Chapter 220 Prelude to Counterattack

"Don't be afraid, just charge forward. There's nothing to be afraid of these monsters. The more afraid you are, the stronger they will become!"

After saying that, Hammond took the lead and rushed directly towards a monster that had just passed through the fire coverage area and had escaped the net.

Hammond was seen charging while turning the tail of the long-handled sword in his hand. Like an engine being pulled, the long-handled sword emitted a sharp roar, and the orange-red light of the blade became even more dazzling.

As he got closer and closer to the monster in front of him, Hammond activated his force field and swung his sword at an extremely fast speed against the wind and snow. The air whistled as if it was burning, and the monster seemed to be split in half before it could react.

The knights in the rear were stunned. Judging from Hammond's skills, there was no need to be afraid of the monsters. The monsters should be afraid of him.

How do you learn this? It's useless!

Hammond stroked the molten-cut long-handled broadsword in his hand with satisfaction. Although he didn't know why the Governor liked to call this kind of sword a Guan Dao, it was indeed much more useful than a spear when dealing with these monsters.

Looking at the stunned knights behind him, Hammond shouted, "Don't relax, go and support other comrades! If you really don't dare to go forward, use the ray gun to support your comrades! Action!"

The knights who heard Hammond's angry shout reacted immediately and began to support other comrades on the battlefield.

Hammond also waved the reins and continued to gallop on the battlefield to provide support.

Other places on the battlefield were not as relaxed as Hammond. Although there were sufficient warming measures to help the soldiers maintain their body temperature, the heavy snow would still make the soldiers consume their physical strength faster and become more easily fatigued. The unlucky ones would even sink into the snow.

Not everyone has the riding skills like Hammond, who can ride smoothly in the snow.

If there is windy and snowy weather, it will be more difficult for the gray-collar team to fight, and the lower visibility will greatly increase the threat of those monsters.

Although the wind and snow will have some impact on those monsters, the impact is far less than that on humans. Those monsters don’t even need to worry about keeping warm.

But even so, the battle line remained deadlocked. Hammond could clearly feel that the demons' offensive was no longer the same as before. When the support first arrived, it was really like waves, one after another.

Now the opponent is more likely to use monsters that are only two or three meters tall to carefully test them. At the beginning, Hammond could only feel the size of the opponent's hooves becoming smaller and smaller.

Is this the beginning of the demons' trouble? No, Hammond would rather believe that the demons are preparing for a big one.

In the distance, the huge monster that looked like a small mountain was still standing on the battlefield, and low growls were emitted from its several mouths from time to time.

It has now been basically confirmed that the monster is the brain of all monsters, otherwise there is no reason why such a huge body would stay in the rear and need special soldiers to protect it.

Hammond pointed the Guandao in his hand at the monster in the distance. One day, the gray collar will defeat this monster.

After resisting another wave of monster attacks, a knight came to inform Hammond that the Governor had something to discuss in detail. After taking a look at the monsters that were forced back again, Hammond rode back to the position.

As soon as he returned to the position, Hammond felt a slight vibration from the ground. Hammond understood that the magic train was getting closer and closer to the Golden Spike Plain.

Now the magic train can basically provide seamless logistics to the Golden Ear Plains, so the entire position has gradually gained a firm foothold. The demons are accumulating strength, and so are the gray-collar workers.

The place where Lind was summoned was different from the past. It was not in a tent at the front line, but in a large square at the rear supply position.

It can be said that all the important figures on the entire front line appeared together in this square, which was a rare occasion.

Although the winter wind and snow were still fierce, it was nothing to the people present. When Lind, who was wearing a cloak, saw Hammond coming, he simply nodded. Hammond also consciously joined the ranks of generals.

It can be seen that the people present are a little tired, but there is a hint of excitement in their eyes.

Lind did not stand on the podium and give an inspiring speech as he did before. Instead, he simply called out the name, "Flora."

Saint Flora, wearing a blood-red robe, stepped out quickly and saluted Lind.

It was only then that Hammond discovered that Flora, who had been leading the nuns as a military doctor, was dressed differently from before. The blood-stained nun's uniform remained the same, but the mask on her face had been replaced with a face mask.

The mask is dark black as a whole, with a very simple and streamlined surface, and the eye area is equipped with two round goggles, which can protect the eyes and ensure a wide field of vision.

However, the most distinctive feature is the two cylinders, one large and one small, protruding from the front of the mask. The experienced Hammond immediately guessed what the two cylinders were used for - most likely they were used to filter and purify the air.

But are there any toxins on the battlefield that need to be filtered or purified?

After saluting, Flora came to the open space in the square and took out a peculiar musket from the tactical backpack on her back, which was connected to the backpack with a special pipe. Hammond recognized the pipe, which was used to power some special ray guns, such as the six pure guns used by the Governor's Guards.

"Originally I didn't want to use this weapon."

Lind's voice sounded again, but it was much deeper than when he usually spoke.

"When we were dealing with Doug, we actually already had the technology to produce this weapon, but I never approved its production because it was too inhumane."

Hammond, who had been fighting all the time, found it difficult to understand what the Governor meant by humanity. Wasn't the purpose of war to kill the other side? In that case, why should we consider what was humane or inhumane? As long as the other side could be killed, all means were permitted.

However, Hammond also understood that the Governor's humanity was different from the so-called aristocratic wars of the nobles before. After all, for the Governor, some enemies were also people of the North, so it was understandable that he could not use overly cruel means against future people during the war.

Just as Hammond was thinking about what humanity was, he heard Lind continue in a low voice: "To be honest, in the original plan, even in the future against the demons, I have never considered this kind of weapon, but now it is different. Our opponents are a group of monsters, a group of aliens. Fighting these guys who are not even humanoid, there is really no need to consider humanity."

Lind finished speaking, and Flora pulled the trigger.

The blazing red-orange light instantly lit up the surroundings, the heat wave of the flames rolled in, the flames rolled in the air like a dancing giant snake, and instantly submerged most of the square.

Because it was in an open square and the wind direction had been calculated, the flames did not hurt anyone.

But Hammond couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Now Hammond completely understood what the Governor meant by humanity. This thing was indeed too inhumane. If Hammond caught a soldier operating this device on the battlefield, he would definitely not take any prisoners.

Heat waves shook the air, and the strong smell of burning filled the air, suffocating it, but a long charred trail remained on the ground, and sparks flickered in the embers.

Hammond also fully understood what the two cylinders on Flora's new mask were used for filtering. It was to prevent the nuns from being unable to breathe in the flames, and a special magic circle was used to purify the smoke.

It is no wonder that these nuns, who were used as guards, would replace their favorite bird-beak masks.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Hammond seemed to hear Flora's laughter hidden behind her mask.

At this moment, at the temporary station in the distance, the fully armed magic train, like a giant beast, just arrived at the station.

Boxes of holy water and new weapons were unloaded from the vehicles.

Lin De said loudly: "Everyone, the counterattack is about to begin."
