"Duke Eddie."
The Count of Yum took the reins and brought the horse close to the Duke's carriage and walked side by side with him."
At this pace, we should be able to reach Frontier this afternoon.I suggest that the troops should be stationed for a night's rest and then resume the operation early tomorrow morning. ”"Nope."
Duke Eddie shook his head and refused, "It's all to blame for the group of mercenaries who dragged their feet and wasted a lot of time on the way."
When they arrived at the border town, they sent people to persuade them to surrender, and if they did not agree, they immediately let the army attack. ”"But the army has been gone for a day, and the men and horses should be tired, isn't it inappropriate to attack in this state?"
Count Yum worried."
What are you afraid of?
Our side has an absolute advantage in numbers.The army of 2,000 people rushed all the way with momentum, and didn't they directly crush the few men and horses in the border town?
”Count Corette also pulled the reins and drove the horse to come closer."
Besides, I can't stand sleeping in the wild anymore, there are so many mosquitoes, itchy, and so noisy that I can't sleep, I want to take a shower tonight, and then lie down on the soft bed in the castle.""
I can't stand it either, the sooner I capture the lord's castle in Frontier Town, the sooner I can go back."
Scratching the mosquito-bitten bag on his neck, Duke Eddie agreed with Count Corret.Then, he summoned another guard and ordered: "Let the mercenaries behind speed up, and they will be able to reach the border town this afternoon." ”"Yes!"
The guard then ran to the back of the group, urging the mercenary to hurry up.The sun had moved into the western sky and continued to set westward, and the shadows under the feet of the soldiers of the Dongsheng Fortress army gradually lengthened.You can already see the vague outlines of some of the houses in Frontier Town from a distance, as well as the small black dots densely arranged outside the town, and those should be the soldiers of Frontier Town.It seems that Marquis Eisen has learned of the news of the Dongsheng Fortress sending troops, and Duke Eddie is not surprised by this.Moreover, looking at the posture of the other party, it seems that he is preparing to fight with the army of Dongsheng Fortress.Do you dare to be strong with this little force?
It's just the courage of a horseman, it's really stupid, Duke Eddie couldn't help but laugh in his heart.There are only about 400 people on the side of Frontier Town, and there are 2,000 people on the side of Dongsheng Fortress!
With a five-fold difference, there is no doubt that this battle will be won.The mercenaries in the back also had the same idea as Duke Eddie, and they all took out their weapons, licked their lips with their tongues, and showed a wicked smile, ready to take the opportunity to ransack the town and make a lot of money from it."
Lord Duke."
The knight who was in charge of leading the way at the front rode over on horseback to report: "There is a group of people in front with weapons, they should all be the guards of the Marquis of Eisen, what should I do next?"
”Duke Eddie then ordered: "Let the knights slow down, now is not the time to charge, just advance slowly, I want to get closer and let the magician group blast two large spells to boost morale." ”"Wait."
Count Corette added, "Also, the distance between the knights is a little wider, and watch out for the magicians on the other side. ”"That's right, a little more away."
Duke Eddie repeated."
Understood!"
At the order, the knight pulled the reins and made the horse turn and rush forward."
Huh?"
Squinting at the other side for a long time, Earl Pearl snorted, then turned back to Duke Eddie to express his doubts."
Duke Eddie, the formation on the other side is so strange.They lined up in a long line close next to each other, and such a thin line of defense was too unreasonable, didn't the knights break through as soon as they rushed over?
”To deal with the charge of the knights, it was common to place shield men in the front row, and several rows of pikemen in the back, holding spears in front."
Frontier Town fights against undead monsters with the Templars all year round, and it is impossible not to understand the common sense of the military formation."
Count Yum was also cautious, "I'm afraid there's fraud here, so it's better to be careful." ”"What is there to worry about?
With such a few people on the other side, can it still be turned around?
”Corette disagreed, and expressed his opinion."
I think they're just setting up this mainly to watch out for our mage group."
Indeed, with such a formation, it would be impossible for the mage group to cast a large magic spell on a crowded area, and it would not be able to inflict a large number of casualties on the enemy.But that's about it, there's no other good."
Beware of magicians?
Then aren't they afraid of our knights?
”The Earl of Pearl questioned.Everyone's words make sense, and Duke Eddie also dragged his chin into thought, what kind of medicine is sold in Marquis Eisen's gourd?
After a while, he sat up straight and made a decision."
Since I don't know what the hell Marquis Eisen is up to, let the mercenaries take the lead, and the knight troops are on standby for the time being.When the magicians have finished unleashing their big magic, they blow their horns and attack. ”The other nobles expressed no objection to this decision.Anyway, the mercenaries are adventurers who take money to do things, and they don't feel distressed when they die, so it's naturally best for them to test the enemy's intentions.Of course, the regular procedure of persuasion before the war still had to be carried out.Duke Eddy summoned a knight and commanded, "Go and tell the Marquis of Eisen that this is an order from the new King, White Wells, and that I am just obeying the errands."
Lay down your arms and surrender now, you can be sure that you won't hurt him. ”Although he knew that Marquis Eisen would definitely not surrender, he still had to do what he had to do.The army continued to advance slowly, and the knightly forces in front quickly split into two waves and moved to both sides, leaving the middle spot vacant.At the urging of the nobles, the mercenaries walked towards the front with their weapons in their hands and gathered in the open space in front of the formation.The mobilization of troops is a slow process, and it cannot be rushed quickly.At the moment, the distance between the two armies is still very long, so the side of Dongsheng Fortress is not worried about the other side suddenly attacking.Even if the enemy did move, it would take a lot of time to run so far and enough for the army to react accordingly.Moreover, the magician group is not vegetarian, and if the other party really dares to attack, is he not afraid of being taken away by large-scale magic?
It is precisely because of this that the nobles think that they are safe, and there are many people in the team who are chatting and laughing, and they do not pay any attention to the border town.“…… That night, those three stinky bitches screamed really lewdly. ”Victor is bragging about his recent achievements in bed to prove his toughness as a man."
Haha, His Excellency Victor Corette is really energetic, merry, admire, admire!"
The person who was patting Victor's ass was Baron Wood, who had previously been given a piece of land in the suburbs for his meritorious service to Duke Eddie.Therefore, he is now a nobleman of Dongsheng Fortress, and he is also on Victor's thigh, after all, the other party is the eldest son of the Corette family.This lord is backed by a tech tycoon
