The Immortal Wizard is watching

Chapter 12 The Encountered Battle

"Baron Cold Wind? Heck, I've never heard of it. This is a little noble who got out of the mud in the countryside."

Under the banner with the coat of arms on a blue background and the white bear holding its head high, at the center of the convoy, Viscount Claude, who was in a bad mood, seemed to have found someone to vent his anger on, with a contemptuous expression.

Beside him, stood an old man with white hair, shook his head, and said to him:
"The person sent by the other side is a well-equipped cavalryman in chain armor. Judging from his riding movements, he has received professional training and is not a temporary armed peasant soldier."

"Oh?" Viscount Claude looked serious, rubbing the messy stubble on his chin due to lack of trimming, "That is probably the only soldier in the other party's hands, is there a reason for coming?"

"The Baron of Cold Wind hopes to exchange certain supplies with us."

"Exchange supplies?" He mused, "How many valuable goods do we still have?"

"When we were attacked by the roaming 'lions' before, in order to get rid of the danger, we gave up the hatchback carriage full of jewels and paintings to attract attention, and a carriage loaded with wine was damaged, and the oak barrels inside leaked, When it was discovered, it was already difficult to salvage, only the carriage loaded with grain and a small amount of gold was kept."

Listening to the old man's report, Viscount Claude gritted his teeth as he recalled the panic when he encountered those "lion prides".

He said angrily: "How many soldiers gathered who were scattered and fled?"

"So far, only 34 militiamen and 42 peasant soldiers have been recovered."

"Enough is enough, let the baron go back and tell the other party, I agree to the deal, let him bring someone over!"

There are no rich villages on the road from here to Triumph City for his wealth.

The fortress camps of those great nobles are even more irresistible. He needs to gather as much wealth as possible in order to take root and survive after arriving in Triumph City.

On the other side, Ronan listened to his subordinates' reports, recalling the information about the kingdom's nobles in his mind.

"The white bear holds its head high? Is it the Claude family that occupies the eastern bank of the Insel River?"

This is the guardian who was sworn to the Western Great Plains, one of the two pillar earls of the kingdom, and the vassal viscount of the Cobo family.

Compared with Baron Exeter, a poor and remote border baron, the Claude family is close to the border between the kingdom and the North Lion Principality even though it is a fief.

But whether it is the taxation brought by the trade of the Insel River waterway or the high farmland tax in the territory, the degree of wealth is far from comparable to the former.

However, judging from the situation reported by the sentry, the current situation of the Claude family does not seem to be good.

In addition to the cavalry sent to communicate on the surface, Ronan also let two other knight attendants scout the situation from the flanks.

The other party's convoy should have encountered some kind of attack before. There were broken gaps and blood stains on the carriage. Most of the reunited soldiers looked terrified, and many of them had their wounds bandaged.

As for asking him to trade at the other party's camp location, Ronan had an interesting expression.

Since he had already left Triumph City, he could not borrow the power of his family in the name of the outside world, so he became the little-known Baron of Cold Wind.

It seems that people don't take him seriously at all.

Ronan asked his cavalry to try again. This time, he didn't need to get close, but just yelled loudly from a distance, asking the other party to come to the open space between the two sides to make a deal.

There are no trees around there, and everything is clear at a glance.

Sitting astride the horse, Ronan looked at the soldiers encircling him, not surprisingly.

Although the state of the Claude family is bad, they still have a good armed force on hand. Compared with dealing with an unknown remote baron, the other party is obviously willing to be more direct.

That being the case, let's touch it!

Ronan waved his hand, and the troops hidden in the woods behind them started their offensive. Ten knight servants drew their bows and fired in salvo, responding to the enemy soldiers who entered the range.

Well, the hit rate is really touching.

At a distance of [-] meters, a group of people from the other side gathered together, only one of the ten arrows was hit, and the place where the shot was still not fatal was the thigh.

But the deterrent effect produced is really excellent.

You must know that archers are high-level troops on the battlefield. After being startled by the arrows, this group of peasant militiamen who have never fought a few serious battles stopped their sprinting steps, shrinking and dare not go forward. .

And when Ronan's trained pawns rushed towards them with neat steps, they were greeted with murderous aura.

The fear accumulated before exploded in their hearts in an instant, and they were defeated before the official battle.

Behind the scattered militiamen, Viscount Claude knew that something was wrong when he saw the opponent shooting a bow and arrow.

When he saw the ten fully armed cavalrymen, he panicked, but when Ronan's fifty infantrymen appeared, his head went black and he almost passed out.

Damn it, this kind of aura that only elites have, did you recruit the Imperial Army from Triumph City!

"My lord, calm down!" The white-haired old man next to him immediately pulled him back to reality, "It's not an unsolvable situation, please let the knight protecting you charge immediately, as long as you can catch the other party's lord, things will be fine Redeem."

"Yes! I still have knights!"

Viscount Claude became excited, and quickly waved his hand to send out the three guards, aiming at Ronan.

As the ruler of the Rhineland in the eastern part of the Insel River, the Claude family certainly has their own knights.

It is a white bear knight, and after breaking through, it can greatly improve the body's ability to resist cold.

Since the northern part of the Insel River is adjacent to the frozen soil plateau of the North Lion Principality, the White Bear Riders can better adapt to the environment, so as to help the kingdom keep an eye on the lion's movements.

Thinking of the White Bear Knight under him, Viscount Claude couldn't help but feel heartbroken again.

Originally, he had five knights under his command, but not long ago, two of them were brutally bitten to death by a pride of lions!
Fortunately, the remaining three survived and were not seriously injured. Viscount Claude could only comfort himself in his heart.

As long as they avoid the front of the opponent's pawns, the three white bear knights rushing in from the flanks are enough to take down that weird baron!

Before he had time to relax, a huge knight in plate armor rushed out from the opponent's camp, swung a broadsword and directly slapped one of his knights off his horse!
Fortunately, the armor on his body was of acceptable quality and saved his life, but the other two knights who forced him had to stop and go to support his teammates.

The three knights who were skilled in swordsmanship were forced to be beaten by the opponent alone.

The war horse had already been chopped into two ends, and the three nimbly walked beside Ed, attacking each other, and the situation became stalemate for a while.

Ronan could see clearly from a distance that at first Ed did gain the upper hand by relying on unexpected strength.

But the opponent's knight is obviously an experienced veteran, has adapted to Ed's attack, and began to counterattack by cooperating.

If it wasn't for the thick plate armor that blocked Ed's vitals and made him ignore most of the enemy's attacks, he might have been defeated.

Ronan took the longbow from the knight attendant standing beside him, drew the bow and released the arrow.

With a sound of piercing through the air, the arrows shot precisely followed the gap in the helmet, pierced the knight's eyes, and penetrated his head.

The old technique was repeated, and it was two more arrows.

On the originally fierce battlefield, only Ed was left in a daze for a while, scratching his head for some unknown reason.

In addition, there are sluggish attendants beside Ronan.

At the beginning, he was a little displeased when his bow and arrows were taken away by his lord, thinking that it would be good for you to just watch from the side, and don't grab my weapon.

But now, after witnessing the miraculous arrow technique, he realized it.

It turned out that I was just a shelf with a bow.
