The military operations in Daotan Town were carried out with great efficiency. On the day of the expulsion order, the Knights of the Holy Spirit, who were under the command of Marcellus, set out for a mighty preparation.

The Order of the Holy Spirit is different from the regular knights, this is an elite knight order from the royal capital, all with a shiny mane, strong and majestic horses, draped in heavy horse armor made of stainless steel, under the saddle covered with gold-trimmed horse clothes, and the emblem of the large prismatic shield outlined with silver thread on both sides.

The knight sitting on horseback is even more heroic, the standard full-body armor, from the masterpiece of the royal armor master, the shining and heavy chest guard, engraved with the Holy Spirit Cross, the wolf-shaped helmet with interlaced canine teeth, lifelike, the cloak with gold edges on a red background, hunting in the autumn wind.

The head of the knights, Viscount Bonus Hain, has participated in the autumn raids of the orcs many times, and has made great achievements, and every knight under his command has considerable combat experience, and has always been the elite force of the twenty-four Holy Spirit Knights in the royal capital.

A viscount could not provide for such a well-equipped Order of the Holy Spirit, backed by the Church of the Holy Spirit, who had given their lives to the Holy Spirit from the time they swore to give everything to the Holy Spirit.

However, Viscount Hein was not in a good mood, and although they were the elite of the Holy Spirit, there was still an insurmountable gap between them and the Templars. That is the divine arts—the laws of the Holy Spirit that can strengthen oneself, strengthen one's combat power, and even strengthen one's weapons and defenses.

As an experienced and experienced Knight of the Holy Spirit, he would have had a chance to be promoted to the rank of Templar, but he was nearly 42 years old, and he no longer met the requirements of the Templar in terms of physical strength and martial arts, so he could only regret it for the rest of his life.

When he was sent to Daotan, far from the royal capital, he understood that the new, younger knights had taken over his glorious duty of guarding the royal capital.

And now, being asked to expel a group of slave laborers who were digging the fortifications, made him even more resentful, and felt that he had been slighted. This is no honor for the arrogant Holy Spirit Knight.

Due to the fact that it was a short-distance raid and mainly a threat to the Order, the Knights of the Holy Spirit did not carry poorly equipped servants who slowed down their march, nor did they carry slaves to carry food and camping equipment.

"My lord, I'd rather fight the orcs than intimidate the slaves. Going hand in hand with Viscount Hein was his long-time lieutenant and close friend Melde, holding the reins in his hand, and under the helmet shield he lifted, his face was very unhappy: "We have been treated unfairly!"

"Old friend, you should understand when we were transferred out of the royal capital and came to this place where birds don't. Our time is over, and the Templars, who are more powerful than us, are in power. Viscount Haiyin had a wry smile on his face: "Whether we admit it or not, we are all older." ”

"I don't think so. Melde straightened his back: "Those stinky boys may not be stronger than us. I've slain more orcs than they've ever seen. ”

"Baptism, don't forget, man. I don't think you understand the difference that the baptism of the Holy Spirit can bring. I once sparred with a Templar who could easily withstand the blows of my hands with just one sword in his hand. It is the glory of the great Holy Spirit that is beyond mortal power. ”

Viscount Haiyin looked up at the desolate wilderness in front of him, the dilapidated Daotan Town, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes: "It can only be said that I was born at the wrong time." ”

"Then we shouldn't have to expel a bunch of slaves!" Melder was a little grumpy: "This is discrimination, we are the knights of the Holy Spirit, not the little knights of the nobility who can't get on the stage." We've also been blessed by the Holy Spirit to deal with a crowd — oh my God, I can't believe it. A group of slave laborers, worthy of such a mobilization?"

"I heard that it was a pagan. Viscount Hein lowered his voice: "The Blackstone Territory is now a den of infidels, you understand the attitude of the church towards infidels, and would rather kill a thousand people than let one go." Don't worry, old man, maybe this is also a good opportunity to relax, everyone has been suffocated by the impact of the orcs for a long time. ”

"Not one left?" Melder sneered, "What expulsion? They underestimate our abilities too much, my lord, kill them, whether they are heretics or slaves." With our heavy charge, they will not be able to withstand even a turn, and will be wiped out by our iron hooves. ”

"Relax, old man. Viscount Hein shrugged his shoulders: "I heard from the scouts that those slaves are dressed in rudimentary cloth, and perhaps we can kill them without even unsheathing our swords." ”

This is not complacency, but a long experience. The reason why this knight order is called the Silver Light Shield is because they are heavy cavalry, the weight of the armor is nearly 1.5 times that of other knights, and even the war horses are carefully raised, explosive, and wearing the same heavy horse armor.

Even against the rough-skinned orcs, their wave of heavy charges can plan the formation of the orcs, and then divide the battlefield and break them one by one.

This has always been a tactic that they have relied on to become famous.

Therefore, when they heard that the other party was a cloth slave worker wielding a hoe and shovel, their first reaction was to be insulted. Not to mention the charge, even if you go through it like this, those slave laborers will definitely be trampled into mud.

"I'm more worried about the royal capital than this kind of trivial matter. Viscount Haiyin furrowed his brows, his family members all lived in the royal capital: "There are thousands of orc warriors, and there is an orc overlord, three kings. This beast tide is even more powerful than it was 20 years ago. ”

"Then it's not something we need to worry about, aren't there Templars, and the Inquisitors and Adjudicators won't sit idly by. Melde shrugged his shoulders: "What's more, there are also the three mysterious holy envoys." I just want to settle the town as soon as possible, and maybe I can return to the royal capital and see the glorious power of the Holy Envoy. ”

"Haha, I hope you don't need an envoy, my old friend. That shows that the situation is already very serious, and even the terrifying orc overlord is probably not qualified. The remnants of the orcs in Daotan Town, as well as the heretics of the Blackstone Territory, are simply not comparable to the orc overlords. ”

"I also think it's a bit of a big deal. Melder shrugged: "I think it's stupid for them to come up with a makeshift wall." These haunted heretics have always liked to hide in their dark nests, brewing strange and disgusting rituals to lure ignorant fools. ”

"Old man, remember the heretics we cleared in an ancient tomb on the outskirts of the royal capital last year?" Viscount Hein's face was full of memories: "A group of filthy and foul-smelling wizards, crowded like cockroaches in their small nests, still delusional that their 'gods' would come to the world and rule over everything. But under our swords, they are weak, not even pigs and dogs, and only know how to curse and wail. ”

It was the proud battle of Viscount Hein's life, destroying nearly two hundred infidels, and his silver shield, unscathed, was rewarded by the Church.

"Haha, that's a good fight. ”

Melde and Honor, with a hearty smile.

When the scorching sun rises in the sky, the blinding light banishes every darkness. The Knights of the Silver Shield finally saw the looming pass of the Black Rock Canyon and a group of dense figures at the pass.

Melder put his hand on the pergola, glanced at it, and then sneered: "It seems that the news from the scouts is correct, a group of unclothed slaves with hoes. ”

"Don't forget our rules of war, old man, and always treat the battlefield as the last time. Viscount Hein cheered up: "Inform the knights, adjust the speed, and end the battle as soon as possible." ”

Speaking of expulsion, in fact, they prefer to use a quick and easy method - killing, to give this battle without glory, a little excitement.

......

"Master Chief, they're coming. ”

In a wind-eroded cave not far from the canyon pass, Harald spread the map on the ground and squatted to look at the surrounding terrain", Wen Yan raised his head slightly: "Oh?

"Seventy or eighty, all well-armed knights, even the horses were covered with armor. ”

"Brother Hunn, Brother Monko. Harald stood up: "The commander-in-chief orders to do everything in his power to protect the lives of the workers. I think everyone should understand what that means. ”

"Brother, just say it, what's the plan?" The majestic and burly Hunn, touching the rough stubble on his chin, said in a rough voice: "Both of us are big bosses, or are you more meticulous in your mind." ”

Harald nodded: "According to my analysis, they are all heavily armored knights, and they are strong in short-range charges. And our fortifications, which have not yet been built, have little chance of winning a frontal battle. ”

"So, here's my plan. ”

Harald, who was born as a naval colonel, is far more resourceful than a pirate, which is why Qin Song has a special respect for him. And after he mastered the Spider Demon Artillery, he was very familiar with this powerful force, which also made him firm in his determination to follow Qin Song.

"During this time, I was fighting guerrilla warfare here, and I was completely familiar with the course and internal structure of these caves. These wind-eroded caverns are the best hiding places, and it is impossible for the knights to spread out in formation. ”

"Ambush warfare?"

"That's right. Harald's face was full of confidence: "There are fifty troops in the pass, all of them are new orc hunter type II, and there is plenty of ammunition. Moreover, we have even more powerful spider demons. Then, we can use these caves, as cover, once they chase into the canyon, they will divide into small teams to fight, they chase, we will go into the cave, and in the cave, hehe, they will not forget the taste of orc hunters. ”

"And what if they choose to retreat?"

"I'm afraid it's not that easy, we still have a secret weapon. ”
