Eastern mythology system

Chapter 188 Start

Princess Yalina's delegation and others stopped on a flat ground beside the official road, took out dry food, dried meat and water, and rested and ate on the spot.

Not far ahead is a dense forest area, and the information provided by the nobles shows that the bandits with considerable strength are hiding in it.

A large group of nobles came to watch the soy sauce making, and the mission stopped for a rest, so of course they did not leave.

But nobles are nobles, not the same as bitter soldiers.Some servants had already set up simple parasols, set up tables and chairs, and placed exquisite pastries and drinks, waiting for their masters to enjoy.

It's a pity that this flat land is too small, and the two teams of people can just fit there.Although it is not crowded, it is inevitable that people get close to each other.

So the noble nobles and Aberdeen soldiers all sat together, and there was me in you, and you in me, showing a rare "happy" side.

Xu Feng touched Lin Zhifeng's shoulder beside him, and said in a low voice: "Is our guard a little too lax? In the current situation, if the enemy comes suddenly, there may not be enough time to line up in a hurry. Not to mention the inside There are also some nobles mixed in, even if the formation is in time, it will hinder the normal operation of the formation."

Lin Zhifeng looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he lowered his voice and replied: "You are stupid, even if Tang Feng was negligent, the boss would never miss this point. Think about it, our enemies are all Who are they? They dare to rush over now? They care more about the safety of the nobles than we do. If the gentlemen here suffer any damage, no matter how great their contributions are, they may not be able to enjoy it when they return."

"Oh." Xu Feng suddenly realized and felt relieved.

Just as he was about to speak again, he suddenly saw a man in his thirties walking towards the nobleman, and quickly shut his mouth.

Of course, the man didn't look for Xu Feng, but came to Anthony's side.

"Why did the third young master come here? What's the matter?"

When Anthony saw the person coming, he took the lead in saying hello.

This man is from Earl Lev Charlton's family. He has no talent himself, but he likes to make friends. He is considered a celebrity in Hannover when he was young.In his circle, people call him "Third Young Master", but almost no one remembers his real name.But when facing Anthony, he said that he did not dare to call him "Master", and only asked Anthony to call him "Third Young Master".

But judging from his usual remarks at banquets or other occasions, he or the Charlton family behind him may not be optimistic about Brilliant Empire.For Yalena and Anthony, it may become an enemy in the future.

Of course, at least on the surface, the two sides are still in harmony.

The third young master laughed, his voice bold.

"It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Anthony and all the brave fighters are going to wipe out a big disaster for me in Hanover today. It's really satisfying. I'm an idle person and I can't fight the enemy with you, but I can still do it by visiting and condolences."

Anthony also smiled: "Third Young Master has a heart."

The two chatted for a while.

The third young master said that he was visiting the soldiers, but his feet didn't move a bit as if they had taken root.

Anthony knew that he must have another purpose, but the other party didn't ask, and he didn't bother to ask.

After chatting all over the place for a while, the third young master finally got to the point.

"We all know that the purpose of sending troops to suppress the bandits, sir, is not only for the people, but also for the purpose of showing the mighty power of the soldiers under his command. Like the noble friends behind me, I also want to see your demeanor. It's just that Mr. Anthony and Ka Sword Saint Dun and the guards of Her Royal Highness are all high-level professionals, and they have no suspense against the mob of thieves and bandits. In this way, it may be difficult for these more than 300 fighters to perform to their full potential. Therefore..."

San Shao didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was already expressed clearly: I hope Anthony and other high-level professionals will not make a move.

Those nobles who were hostile to the princess mission had exhausted their minds on the size, number, and equipment of the "thugs".

If there are too many people, it will scare the other party away.

You must know that the so-called "thugs" were fabricated out of thin air, as long as the locals who are familiar with the situation know what's going on.The opponent readily "falls into the trick", but it's just a battle of spirits and confidence in their own strength.If a large army is pulled over, and the opponent is still rushing forward, it means that the head has been kicked by a monster, and something is wrong.

It's even worse if there are fewer people. The 600 regular army can't resist the opponent's sharpness, let alone these private soldiers put together by various families.

Therefore, the information finally sent to Anthony shows that there are more than 1000 people, and this number is relatively moderate.Of course, the actual number of people who will fight at that time will be about two or three hundred more.After all, there is always a discrepancy in the information, who can guarantee that it is 100% completely correct.

But what is considered here is a normal battle on the battlefield. If high-end combat power joins the battle group, then everything will lose suspense.

The lineup of high-level professionals around Princess Yalena is too luxurious. The two top fighters, plus twenty silver fighters, are really dazzling.Don't say a thousand people, even if it doubles, it's still not enough.

The best way to deal with high-level professionals is high-level professionals of the same level, but it is not enough to tie up all these families and make up twenty silver fighters.Top martial artist?I can only hehe.

In desperation, they had no choice but to hope that they could use words to squeeze them out, so that the rather passionate Anthony was impulsive and voluntarily bound his hands and feet.

I don’t know what kind of facial expression the old guys who have dealt with Anthony will have if they know that they label Anthony as “impulsive” and “hot-blooded”.

Anthony, who can always act "impulsive", is rare to be calm this time.

"It's impossible!" Anthony flatly rejected Third Young Master's request.

"On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and the soldiers are fighting with their lives. If possible, I hope that every soldier who sets foot on the battlefield can return safely after the battle. And every time an enemy is eliminated, it means more To reduce the pressure and crisis for one's own fighters. It is the dereliction of duty of a commander and irresponsible to the soldiers under his command to leave a powerful strike force unused. Don't mention this matter again!"

Anthony spoke in a majestic manner, beyond doubt, the third young master could only claim to be right, but he couldn't persuade him any more.

Just when he was disappointed and wanted to leave, Anthony added.

"However, if the enemy doesn't launch an attack force beyond the scope of ordinary people, I'm also happy to let the soldiers exercise more."

The third young master was taken aback immediately.

Before he could come to his senses and think clearly about the meaning of Anthony's words, the young man had already stepped forward, raised his voice, and shouted:
"Assemble! Put on armor! Let's go!"

……

"What did you say? The enemies are all heavy infantry?!"

Surprised and anxious, the head grabbed the man by the collar and lifted his feet off the ground in front of him.

"Why the hell don't you wait until next year to say it!"

The courier had a bitter face, but he didn't dare to talk back at this time, he could only complain in his heart: I'm just a messenger, so what's the use of getting angry at me.Besides, the master just found out about the situation, so he let me come over right away, what else do you want.When he saw the enemy's full body armor, his expression was more surprised than yours.

The head of the family threw the messenger aside with a flick of his hand, and began to pace back and forth on the grass.

He was just furious for a moment, and he knew that it was pointless to get angry at a small messenger.

But what now?The head of the family hesitated for a moment and lost his mind.

There were hundreds of people standing behind him, all with arrows and knives out of their sheaths, gearing up for a big fight.

Not far from the left and right sides where the line of sight was blocked by branches and leaves, the situation of the other two teams should be similar.

The three teams cannot see each other, but they all know each other's existence.They vaguely formed a pocket formation, waiting for the enemy to step into the encirclement, and immediately rushed out.

It can be said that the arrow is on the string at this moment, and it has to be launched.

Although the hoplite has a scary name, in the final analysis, it is just an ordinary soldier with a layer of tortoise shell, and it may not be that powerful.In the face of heavy siege, what can be done.

The master tried hard to convince himself in his heart, and finally made up his mind: follow the original plan!
It wasn't the best option, but it was his only option.

Could he lead his men back and fight guerrilla warfare with the enemy?Can his master agree?You must know that once he runs, the enemy will follow, and his master and other nobles will also run all over the mountains and plains.

Besides, the other two teams are not under his command.As soon as he ran, the predetermined encirclement was broken. What would they do?When the time comes, the only ones who will lose their soldiers will be soldiers from other families, and only you will be unscathed. That is not to recruit the hatred of all the nobles to your own family.

Although the head of the family has never had the experience of leading troops, but now he is the first to experience the suffering of a general who is always under control.

But the situation was such that he couldn't allow him to think too much.

A sound of orderly footsteps came slowly, and before the figure was seen, the breath of killing had already passed through the air in the forest.

"Prepare!"

The head of the family had a serious face, staring at the front, and slowly raised his right hand into the air.

"Fire arrows!"

The raised arm swung down abruptly.

Just listening to the sound of "boom boom boom" bowstrings, more than 500 strong bows were launched together, and the rain of arrows flew across the specially selected grassland with sparse forests, and fell into the enemy's formation one after another.

ding ding dong dong~
ding ding dong dong~
After all, it is not a well-trained regular army, and the shooting pace of the "thieves and bandits" has not been consistent.In this terrain, it doesn't really matter whether the salvo is fired or not. Those tall trees will still block part of the arrow rain.

But even if the remaining long arrows hit the target fortunately, it doesn't make any sense.

Enemies are clad in full body armor from head to toe!

What's more, these enemies have already wrapped themselves in thick iron plates, which is not enough, and some of them even carry a big shield in their hands.

Is this kind of protective power against the siege arrows? The long arrows shot by the "thieves" can't even tickle them.

The leader also has eyesight, and decisively ordered to stop shooting.

Knowing that the enemy had transformed into a hoplite, he already expected that the first wave of long-range attacks planned would not be of much use.At this time, it was only to verify his guess, so it was not surprising.

The defense is strong, but the attack power may not be strong.Wearing cumbersome armor not only increases the burden on fighters, but also reduces their flexibility.And here is a jungle area that is not conducive to formation. As long as the two sides fall into a chaotic fight, the tall but clumsy buffalo may not be able to fight the agile jackal.

The battle has only just begun.

"attack!"
