On the vast plain, a team of hundreds of thousands of people marched in the direction of the river. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The fastest cavalry unit was the vanguard, and the knights, who had long been gearing up, sharpened their swords, stepped into a phalanx of horses, and began their first journey to the New World of America.

Vertical and horizontal, galloping, the horse's hooves are like shocking war drums, kicking up bursts of dust.

The rear of the cavalry was followed by artillery units, equipped with the rifled cannons that had been brought out of the Danish naval port, and among them, the Christine cannons, which symbolized destruction, were so scorching in the light of the sun.

Behind them were the iron-clad Spartan warriors, responsible for protecting artillery with almost zero melee capabilities.

When dusk was approaching, the large forces arrived at the target location one after another, and at this time it was only more than two thousand meters away from the opponent's complex, but it was obvious that the people over there had not yet noticed that a large number of enemy troops were approaching, after all, this was beyond the scope of human observation.

Standing on the top of a small hill, Zheng Fei clenched his fists of resentment, gritted his teeth, and silently took out the binoculars.

Through the camera, he can clearly see the layout of the enemy's buildings.

It appears to be a large mining site and a warehouse for storing the goods obtained here for shipment back to the European continent.

To be honest, the defense is weak.

These people were very lax in their vigilance, and there were only four batteries in the base of Nuoda, and a group of lazy soldiers with muskets on their shoulders and leaning against tree trunks or walls, chatting and laughing about interesting things.

"Eivor, don't say it's a good place, we're sure we'll make a lot of money when we go back. ”

"Yes, I can finally have a big estate of my own. ”

......

In the base, the colonists from Europe were busy as usual, they looked like five or six thousand people, most of the men crowded in the mines, wielding shovels and hoes, not knowing what kind of rare metal they were digging.

Zheng Fei noticed that there were no women in this base, probably because in the minds of European medieval explorers, it was considered unlucky to bring women on the ship, and accidents would happen.

Truckloads of ore were shipped out, and strangely enough, instead of being sent to the base warehouse, they were dumped on a wasteland in the distance, where weeds were overgrown.

Zheng Fei was puzzled by this strange sight, and he removed the telescope from his eyes and wrinkled his brow in confusion.

"Is something wrong, Commander?"

The knights clenched their swords and prepared to attack, just waiting for his order.

"Nothing. ”

Zheng Fei answered in a deep voice, paused for a while, and slowly raised the sword of the king.

The knights held their breath and stared at the sharp blade, the supreme and only faith in their hearts.

At this moment, the eyes of everyone nearby were fixed here, waiting for the attack to be launched.

As if feeling those burning gazes, as well as the beliefs and expectations they represented, Zheng Fei suddenly felt that there was an extra burden on his shoulders, which weighed him down and made it difficult for him to breathe.

So, he took a deep breath.

What are you hesitating about, what are you doing! There was such a roar from the bottom of his heart, forcing him not to distract himself.

The left arm holding the sword of the king tensed instantly, and at the same time, a low roar burst out of his throat.

However, just as he was about to swing his sword, he was suddenly interrupted by Brad in a hurry.

"Wait!" Brad quickly grabbed his arm and shook his head repeatedly.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Fei was surprised, and looked back at the enthusiastic knights.

"Look there, it looks like a prison, is it our people in it?"

Following Brad's guidance, Zheng Fei saw a particularly hidden building through the lens, it was the largest in the entire base, made of mud and stone, and covered with greenery, like a creeper, and like ordinary leaves.

There are many windows neatly arranged on the walls, and you can see that the people inside are very haggard, with withered hair, and have typical European faces, which are certainly not natives who have been caught locally.

Zheng Fei was still unsure of the identity of the prisoner, and he couldn't take the liberty of launching an attack because the other party had hostages.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar face, and his heart suddenly tightened.

Scarlett, the hostess she met in the Azores, was once a charming Western European girl, and now she seems to be twenty years old.

Zheng Fei didn't have to think about it to know what she had experienced.

Thousands of colonists from Europe, all men, lonely and empty, they spent a long sea voyage, and finally arrived on land to see such a beautiful woman, what else could they do?

Looking at Scarlett's face with despair, Zheng Fei's snort gradually became rapid, clenching his teeth tightly, and his body trembled involuntarily.

In addition to Scarlett, there were other women, and they all had the same expression.

Anger burned in his chest, and he wanted to rush over and screw off his enemy's head now.

But he knew that he was the commander-in-chief, and if even he couldn't calm down, it would be really messy.

After taking a few deep breaths, his mood finally calmed down a little, but his eyes were full of cold killing intent.

This look was all too familiar, and Brad was stunned for a moment, and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, are those of our people?"

Zheng Fei was speechless and nodded.

"That's—" Brad frowned.

"Retreat. ”

Retreat? Hearing this order, everyone was stunned.

"Retreat two thousand meters back so they can't spot us. Zheng Fei repeated the order.

"But Lord Commander, we have so many elite cavalry that it only takes one charge to take them down. ”

"But we will also pay a big price, I just looked at them have hundreds of guns, and in such a flat wasteland, they don't even need to aim. I can't be foolish enough to take revenge on a knight's life, you are all my most precious companions. ”

After hearing this, the people fell silent.

The knights, who were full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit, silently lowered the swords in their hands, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in their eyes, gloomy.

Unexpectedly, the commander would treat them as companions, not weapons.

After the silence, there was a knowing smile, and the knights smiled, and this smile was the first time since they were born, they had been instilled with faith since childhood, and they had long positioned themselves as King Arthur's weapons, brave warriors across the battlefield.

"But we also have artillery, and we can use artillery to suppress it. "Someone proposed.

"At such a distance, the shells will kill hostages by mistake, and those mud houses can't withstand rifled cannons. ”
