Princess Arina's mission and the others stopped at a flat place next to the official road, took out dry food, dried meat, and water, and rested and ate on the spot.

Not far ahead was a dense wooded area, and the nobles' intelligence showed that the bandits, who were quite strong, were hiding inside.

A large group of nobles came with them to watch the soy sauce, and the mission stopped to rest, and of course they did not leave.

But a nobleman is a nobleman, not the same as the bitter haha's big-headed soldiers. Some people have already put up simple parasols, set up tables and chairs, put delicate pastries and drinks, and wait for their owners to enjoy.

It's a pity that this flat land is too small, and the two teams of people are just right to be accommodated. It's not crowded, but it's inevitable that people are close to each other.

So the noble nobles and the warriors of Aberdeen sat together, you have me, I have you, and it is rare to show the side of "joy".

Xu Feng touched Lin Zhifeng's shoulder beside him and whispered, "Is our guard too lax?" In a situation like the present, if the enemy suddenly kills, it may not be too late to rush into formation. Not to mention that there are some aristocratic lords mixed in it, even if the formation is timely, it also hinders the normal operation of the formation. ”

Lin Zhifeng looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he also lowered his voice and replied: "You are stupid, even if Tang Feng is negligent, it is impossible for the head to miss this." Think about it, who are our enemies? How dare they rush over now? They care more about the safety of the nobles than we do. If the old men here are a little damaged, even if they make great contributions, I am afraid that they will not be able to enjoy it after they go back. ”

"Oh." Xu Feng suddenly realized and put his mind at ease.

Just as he was about to speak again, he suddenly saw a man in his thirties walking from the nobleman's side, and quickly closed his mouth.

Of course, the man was not looking for him Xu Feng, but came to Anthony's side.

"Why did Sanshao come over, is there something wrong?"

When Anthony saw someone coming, he was the first to say hello.

Is this man Lev? The people of the Earl of Charlton's family have no skills in their own right, but they like to make friends, and they are a small celebrity in Hanover. In his circle, people call him "Third Young Master", and almost no one remembers his real name. However, in the face of Anthony, he said that he didn't dare to call him "master", and only asked Anthony to call him "three young people".

But judging from his usual remarks at banquets or other occasions, it may seem that his person or the Charlton family behind him may not be optimistic about the glorious empire. For Arlina and Anthony, it may become enemies later.

Of course, at least on the surface, there is harmony between the two sides.

Sanshao laughed and said in a bold voice.

"It's all right, it's all right, Mr. Anthony and all the brave soldiers are going to sweep away a great scourge for me in Hanover today, which is very gratifying. I can't go into battle with you as an idle person, but I can still do it with a visit. ”

Anthony was also smiling: "Three young people have a heart." ”

The two chatted for a while.

The third young man said that he was visiting the soldiers, but his feet did not move a little as if they were rooted.

Anthony knew that he must have another purpose, but the other party did not speak, and he did not bother to take the initiative to ask.

After a while, the three young men finally got to the point.

"We all know that Mr. sent troops to suppress bandits this time, in addition to eliminating harm for the people, there is also a purpose to show the might of the soldiers under his command. Like those aristocratic friends who followed, I also want to see your demeanor. It's just that Mr. Anthony and the Sword Saint of Caton and the guards of Her Royal Highness the Princess are all high-level professionals, and they have no suspense about the bandits in the rabble. As a result, it may be difficult for these more than 300 fighters to display themselves to the fullest. Therefore......"

San Shao didn't finish his words, but the meaning was already very clear: I hope Anthony and other high-level professionals don't make a move.

The nobles who were hostile to the princess's mission had gone to great lengths for the size, number, and equipment of the "bandits".

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

You must know that the so-called "bandits" were originally fabricated out of thin air, and as long as they are locals who are familiar with the situation, they know what is going on. The other party happily "hits the plan", but it is just a battle of will and confidence in his own strength. If you pull up a large army and the other party is still rushing forward, it is because the braincase has been kicked by the monster and there is a problem.

If there are fewer people, it will not work, and the 600 regular army will not be able to resist the sharpness of the other party, let alone the private soldiers put together by these various families.

Therefore, in the end, the intelligence sent to Anthony showed more than 1,000 people, which is a relatively modest number. Of course, the actual number of people who will actually fight by that time will be about two or three hundred more. After all, there are always some discrepancies in the information, and who can guarantee that it is 100% correct.

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

The lineup of high-level professionals around Princess Arlina is too luxurious, and the two top martial artists, plus twenty silver fighters, are really dazzling. Don't say a thousand people, even if it doubles, it's not a big deal.

The best way to deal with high-level professionals is to have high-level professionals of the same rank, but it is enough to tie up all these families and make up twenty silver fighters. Top martial artist? It's even more so that he can only hehe.

In desperation, they had to hope that they could use words to squeeze it, so that the rather enthusiastic Anthony was impulsive and voluntarily restrained his hands and feet.

I don't know what kind of expression would be if the old guys who dealt with Anthony knew that they labeled Anthony as "impulsive" and "hot-blooded".

Anthony, who can always behave "impulsively", is rare calm this time.

"It can't be!" Anthony rejected Sanshao's request in one bite.

"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 will come back safe and sound after the war. And every time you destroy an additional enemy, you will reduce the pressure and crisis for your own fighters. If you don't use a powerful strike force, it is a commander's dereliction of duty and irresponsibility to the soldiers under his command. Don't talk about it again! ”

Anthony said it in an awe-inspiring manner, and there is no doubt that the three young people can only say yes, but they can't be persuaded anymore.

Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave in disappointment, Anthony added.

"However, if the enemy does not dispatch an attack force beyond the scope of ordinary people, I am also happy to let the soldiers exercise more."

Sanshao was immediately stunned.

Before he could come to his senses and think clearly about the meaning of Anthony's words, the young man had already taken a few steps forward, exhaled loudly, and shouted loudly:

"Assemble! Armored! Let's go! ”

……

"What do you say? The enemy is all hoplites?! ”

The big boss was shocked and anxious, grabbed the collar of the comer, and lifted his feet off the ground in front of him.

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

The messenger had a bitter face, but he didn't dare to speak back at this time, so he could only cry out in his heart: I am the one who delivered the letter, what is the use of you being angry at me. Besides, the master just learned about the situation and immediately asked me to come over, what else do you want. When he saw the enemy's full body armor, his expression was even more surprised than yours.

The big boss threw the messenger aside with a flick of his hand and paced back and forth on the grass.

He was only angry for a moment, and he knew that there was no point in lashing out at a small messenger.

But what now? The big boss hesitated for a moment and ran out of ideas.

Behind him stood hundreds of people, all of them with their knives unsheathed, ready to fight.

Not far to the left and right of the foliage, where the view is obscured by the foliage, the situation of the other two teams should be similar.

The three teams can't see each other, but they all know each other's presence. They faintly formed a pocket formation, and when the enemy stepped into the encirclement, they immediately rushed out.

It can be said that at this moment, it is ready to be sent and has to be sent.

Although the hoplite has a terrifying name, in the final analysis, it is just an ordinary soldier with a turtle shell, and it may not be very powerful. What can be done in the face of heavy encirclement.

The big boss worked hard to convince himself in his heart, and finally made up his mind: to carry out the original plan!

It wasn't the best option, but it was the only one he had.

Can he retreat with his men and fight guerrilla warfare with the enemy? Can his master say yes? You must know that as soon as he runs, the enemy will follow, and his master and other noble lords will also run along the mountains.

Besides, the other two teams are not under his command. As soon as he ran, the predetermined encirclement was broken, what did they do? When the time comes, the soldiers who will lose their troops are all other people's soldiers, and only they are unharmed, so it is not to invite the hatred of all the nobles to their own families.

Although the big boss has never had experience in leading troops, he is now the first to experience the suffering of a general who is controlled everywhere.

But the situation was such that he couldn't think about it anymore.

The sound of neat footsteps came slowly, and the figure had not yet been seen, but the breath of killing had been transmitted through the air in the forest.

"Ready!"

The big boss looked serious, stared at the front with his eyes, and slowly raised his right hand into the air.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The raised arm slammed down.

Listening to the sound of a bowstring ringing, more than 500 strong bows were launched together, and the rain of arrows swept over this specially selected sparsely wooded meadow, and fell into the enemy's formation.

Ding Ding Dong Dong~

Ding Ding Dong Dong~

In the end, it was not a well-trained regular army, and the "bandits" did not shoot at a consistent pace. In this terrain, it doesn't really matter whether you fire a salvo or not, and those tall trees will still block some of the arrow rain.

But even if the remaining arrows were lucky enough to hit the target, it would be meaningless.

The enemy is draped in full-body armor that covers 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 large shield in their hands.

Is such a protective force to fight against siege arrows? The long arrows shot by the "bandits" can't even tickle them.

The big boss also had the eye and decisively ordered to stop shooting.

Knowing that the enemy had been transformed into hoplites, he had already anticipated that the first wave of long-range attacks that had been scheduled would not be of much use. At this time, it was just a confirmation of his guess, and it was not worth the surprise.

The protection is strong, and the attack power may not be strong. Wearing heavy armor not only burdened the warriors, but also reduced their flexibility. And this is a jungle area that is not conducive to formation, and as long as the two sides are caught in a chaotic struggle, the tall but clumsy buffalo may not be able to fight the nimble jackal.

The battle has just begun.

"Attack!"
