Chapter 1118 Every Inch of Land and Blood
As soon as the messenger finished speaking, Darlena frowned and said in an undisguised tone of dissatisfaction:
"Hey, didn't we just rest for a while? Why do we have to go to the front line so soon?"
As soon as Darlena finished speaking, the messenger whispered with an apologetic face:
"I'm sorry, I'm just following orders..."
"...Alas." After a moment of silence, Darlena sighed.
He naturally knew that the messenger was just following the orders of his superiors, so he didn't make it difficult for him.
After waving her hand to let the messenger leave, Darlena grabbed the sword in her arms with her left hand, used the long sword in her arms as a staff, and stood up to support her body.
"Everyone in my team, stand up, the rest time is over."
As soon as Darlena finished speaking, the only 9 subordinates left at present let out a wail that was louder than the other.
"Why is the break over so soon..."
"My hands are so sore that I can hardly lift them..."
"If I had known, I wouldn't have quarreled with that Yankee just now... It wasted a lot of my rest time..."
...
Dalina ignored the complaints of her subordinates.
She turned her head and said to Benson, "I'll be back soon", then hung the long sword in her hand back on her left waist and walked straight to the front line of the battlefield.
When Darina's nine subordinates saw that Darina had already left, they also stood up and followed Darina closely...
...
Pendragon... No, to be more precise, it should be the central area of Pendragon that was built into a military defense zone. It was filled with the smell of blood, fishy smell, and the faint stench of corpses.
These smells with different names mixed together to form a unique smell on the battlefield.
This smell is enough to make ordinary people feel suffocated.
As Darlene had participated in countless fierce battles, she was already familiar with this pungent smell. Therefore, even though she had already stepped into the frontline battlefield where shouts and killings shook the sky, Darlene's face remained normal.
However, the 9 subordinates under Darlene's command did not have such skills as Darlene.
All of Darlene's 9 subordinates were garrison troops from surrounding cities.
The garrison troops were originally the second-line troops of the Britannia Empire. The soldiers of the second-line troops were basically soldiers whose physical fitness was not enough to enter the Knights, as well as disabled soldiers and veterans who retired from the Knights due to old age or injury.
Unfortunately, Darlene's current 9 subordinates were all soldiers who were forced to enter the second-line troops because of their poor physical fitness. None of them were veterans or wounded soldiers who retired from the Knights.
So the most intense battle that Darlene's 9 subordinates had ever fought in their lives was to encircle and suppress a gang of thieves in the city.
Lacking battle experience, they still couldn't get used to the pungent "battlefield smell" even though they had survived many days in the fierce Pendragon defense battle. They could only hold their breath and follow Darlene closely.
Every house and every street in the center of Pendragon turned into a meat grinder.
The Pendragon defenders and Allen's rebels fought for every inch of land in Pendragon.
If it was occupied, they would take it back.
If it was taken back, they would occupy it back.
A house in a strategic location and an important street changed hands 4 or 5 times between the two armies, which had long become the norm.
Darlene's new mission was to help several teams take back a street in the White Palace defense zone.
After leading her subordinates to rush to this street, Darlene saw her comrades who were fighting fiercely with the rebels in the middle of the street.
There were not many tactics to be used in such a narrow street where only a few horses could march side by side.
The soldiers of the two armies could only wave their weapons like street thugs and engage in fierce hand-to-hand combat without any tactics.
The competition was about the individual combat power and perseverance of each other.
On this street, the number of Pendragon defenders was obviously less than that of the rebels.
At a glance, Darlene saw only five members of the Undead Team wearing dark purple cloaks like her, and about 60 ordinary soldiers.
The rebels had more than 300 soldiers.
However, although Darlene's comrades were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, they still fought hard with the rebel soldiers.
The reason for this was not only because of the great activity of the five extremely brave Undead Team members and the morale of the rebel soldiers was not as good as that of the defenders, but also because the street was too narrow and the rebels had no way to take advantage of the number of people.
Because the two armies were fighting each other on a narrow street, each occupying one end of the street, so both armies had to face the enemy head-on.
The attack area is so narrow and the attack direction is so single, so the rebels' numerical advantage cannot be brought into play.
If you want to give a vivid example, the battle on this street is like "cutting people in a line".
After the comrades in the front row fall, the people in the back row can fill the position of the dead comrades and fight with the enemy.
This is one of the important reasons why Allen's rebels have an absolute advantage in military strength, but have been unable to quickly capture Pendragon.
Fighting in these narrow streets and houses, there is no way to give full play to the advantage of military strength. They can only consume the combat power of the defenders in the city little by little.
After arriving at this street, Darlene immediately pulled out the long sword from her waist with a "clop" sound and rushed towards the most intense battle in this street without hesitation.
…
…
laugh!
Darlene stabbed a Rebel soldier through the heart as he attempted to attack her fellow Undead comrades from behind.
After turning the blade of the sword to get rid of the muscles that clamped the blade of her long sword due to the severe pain, and pulling the long sword out of the rebel soldier's body, Darlene used a joking tone to face the man next to her. The comrade she just rescued said:
"Hey, did you see that? I just saved your life. Tell me how you plan to repay me."
As soon as Darlene finished speaking, her comrade who was also wearing a dark purple cloak chuckled a few times:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Even without your help just now, I would have been able to chop off the enemy soldier's head before he hurt me."
"Oh oh oh oh!!" - At this moment, several more rebel soldiers waved their swords and rushed towards Darlene and the comrade beside her who had just been "rescued" by her.
Although the momentum of these rebel soldiers rushing towards them was quite scary, Darlene and her comrade did not panic.
Calmly raised the sword in his hand, and then——
The sword light flashed several times.
The enemy soldier who rushed towards them let out painful sobs and fell heavily to the ground.
