The two armies fought in formation, fighting over who could keep their formations as tight as possible, and at the same time do their best to break up the opponent's formation.

It can be said that no matter how many or small the army is, whether it is strong or weak, as long as the formation is scattered, it is only a matter of time before it is defeated.

Anyone with a modicum of military knowledge knows that two teams of equal numbers are well-trained and well-coordinated veterans on one side, and a makeshift rabble on the other. Once the battle is fought, the rabble is absolutely defeated. Even if their individual strength is one or two notches better than their opponents, it will not help.

The previous battles between the soldiers of the mission and the bandits disguised as the private soldiers of the various nobles once again confirmed this view.

The warriors are grouped together and cooperate with each other to exert a combat power that far exceeds the sum of the strengths of each individual. When the bandits gather in one place, they can't even give full play to their original strength, and even hinder their companions.

That's the difference, and it's the main factor in the disadvantage of the war.

Training and cooperation cannot be achieved overnight, and even the most clever generals or instructors are here, it is impossible to immediately turn this group of bandits who did not know each other into forbidden troops.

However, they cannot improve themselves, but they can manage to pull down their opponents.

Scrimmage! Only a melee can smooth out the disparity between each other in array battles. Everyone will return to the same starting line, without any support and help, and can only rely on their own strength to fight for survival.

This was the consensus of the nobles and the bandits.

After a lot of hardships, the tide of the war finally developed in the direction they wanted. And the legendary goddess of victory also seems to be showing their charming smile to them.

But soon they find out that they are wrong, and they are very wrong.

That is clearly the sneer of the nightmare god!

The number of bandits who rushed into the Mission's formation was not large, but like a delicate machine sprinkled with a few grains of sand, the movement of the whole army, including all the small formations, became sluggish in an instant.

Moreover, the fact that these bandits were able to preempt most of the other companions showed that they possessed above-average strength, and the damage they caused to the operation of the array became more and more great.

The enemy has infiltrated from within, and it is fatal to any military formation. Without destroying all the saboteurs, it will be impossible for anyone to continue to smoothly command and mobilize the army.

The same goes for the soldiers of the Mission.

While they were busy fighting with the bandits in the array, a large group of bandits also came one after another. The old flaws have not had time to be filled, but new gaps are constantly emerging. The internal chaos made it impossible for the desperately stable front to remain tightly organized, and more and more bandits broke through the interception of the front-line fighters and rushed into the battle formation.

At this point, everything seemed to be going well, making the nobles more and more excited.

There is a saying that happiness is sad, and there is also a saying that is no Ji Tailai, fate is a naughty little villain who always likes to joke with people. It doesn't matter if people can stand it or not.

Just now, the ** arrows and magic attacks were ineffective, which made the nobles feel like they were dying. But the big boss keenly spotted the fighter and reminded them loudly, so that they rekindled hope for the battle situation; Now when the bandits finally broke through the interception and squeezed into the enemy's formation, destroying the enemy's sharpest and most powerful link, and making the situation start to develop in a good direction, the situation changed dramatically in an instant!

Because after a short silence, the command center finally issued the order to act again.

The command center of the mission was in the middle of the battle formation, and some of the bandits who broke in also attacked this side. But twenty silver warriors in full armor formed a desperate line of defense, and any bandit who dared to approach was all beheaded in a different place and died cleanly.

The battle array that received the order was like an awakened war machine, and it rumbled again.

The soldiers at the forefront no longer tried in vain to intercept the incoming bandits, but slowly retreated, and the entire front line was shrinking back step by step.

The soldiers inside the array moved closer to their nearest shield soldier in twos and threes, cooperating with each other to kill and clean up the enemies around them as they moved.

The shield soldier under the protection of his companion slammed the shield to the ground, and quickly pulled his hands behind the shield, and there were already a few more short knives with cold light in his hands.

The soldiers around him struggled to fend off the enemy's onslaught, and took turns changing weapons from him.

Fighting in a wooded forest, the normal army seems to be a little too long, and it is easy to be blocked by the surrounding trees, resulting in ineffective operation.

In response to the needs of the combat terrain, the soldiers had special products in their hands. The length is much shorter, and it can be disassembled in sections. In the battle just now, he also had a good performance.

But no matter how you say it, after all, they are all long weapons, and fighting in array can exert its power, and hand-to-hand combat is inadequate.

Obviously, the mission took this "just in case" situation into account and made targeted arrangements.

The soldiers' replacement of weapons is like a beast sharpening its minions, and its attack power is immediately raised to a higher level.

The warriors slashed, swept and stabbed with a short knife in one hand, almost accompanied by a scream, followed by a thief who fell to the ground.

The bandits were bent on disrupting the operation of the opponent's array and disrupting the opponent's position, and the speed of the rush was not fast enough, and the number of people rushing into the array was not enough. In this way, the place where the soldiers of the mission were originally lined up was densely packed with people. Whether it is a warrior or a bandit, they are all mixed up at this moment, you have me, I have you, and they will no longer distinguish each other.

The desire of the big bosses and nobles to draw the battle into a melee has been realized. However, their original plan to win the melee with their own personal strength superior to their opponents was in vain.

Because there are too many people, even if they are professionals, it is difficult to fully display their strength, and they can only scuffle and fight like street gangsters.

In this case, the short knives in the hands of the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time became the most terrifying and sharp weapons of mass killing.

The so-called one inch is long and one inch is strong, and the battle of the army is generally dominated by long weapons. There are also some knowledgeable people among the nobles, and the equipment for the bandits is full of long weapons.

This would not have been wrong. Like in the battle just now, although the bandits were slaughtered one-sidedly, they finally left a slashing mark on the armor of the warriors. If it had been replaced with a short weapon, I am afraid that they would have already been assassinated one by one before they could get close to the target.

It's a pity that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and what seemed to be the right choice one moment may turn into a fatal mistake in the next moment.

Just listening to the screams of the bandits one after another, it is conceivable that the melee did not become their last straw. Instead, it's more like the deadly seaweed that entangles them and drags them underwater.

What's even more terrifying is that I don't know if it's because the bandits didn't notice it before, or if it's a new change in the armor of the opponents. In their knees, elbows, the top of their heads, their backs, their chests and other places, there were sharp spikes half a foot long.

In normal times, this is nothing. But if you change the situation of people on the battlefield now, it will kill people.

Such a thorny humanoid hedgehog, who would dare to lean on him?

The problem is that now there are crowds of people everywhere, and there is far more than one "hedgehog", where can they hide?

Not to mention that the people inside the formation want to get out, and there are more people outside who want to squeeze in.

Thus, the tragic fate of the bandits was decided.

Some fighters became ferocious, simply discarding the double knives in their hands, and just chose a random direction to rush and collide regardless of it. Anyway, you have top-level armor on your body, so you don't have to worry about your own life, and you don't have to worry about accidentally injuring your own people.

The nobles were dumbfounded, and they no longer knew what reaction and expression to give.

Even the Caton Swordmaster was surprised that the situation was developing so smoothly.

"Boy, I mean, how did you get this armor? Tut-tut~ Awesome! If we can make a thousand or thousands of sets, do we need to be afraid of the Riga Empire? ”

How sharp the eyes of the top powerhouse are, he can see at a glance that the reason why the warriors can still occupy a great advantage in the melee, although being well prepared and dealing with the law is one of the reasons, but the most important thing is the set of armor on the warriors that can be called against the sky.

Its defense power is too ***, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary refined steel. If it weren't for this life-saving hole card, the mere 300 people would have been overwhelmed by the surging crowd of bandits, where would there be the current madness.

And Caton was keenly aware that although these armors looked very bulky, they were actually like magical armor that had been tricked into falling feathers. Whether the warriors were advancing or retreating, leaping and turning, their movements were extremely light, and they did not look like they were wearing heavy armor.

Of course, such a hoplite infantry cannot be said to be invincible. Although light weapons such as swords are helpless against it, heavy weapons such as hammers and mountain axes can directly shock the warriors inside to death with the defensive power of samurai armor.

Although there are weapons and classes that can restrain them, there is no all-round class in the world that has no weaknesses, and such a heavy infantry is enough to make any opponent tremble. As long as it is used properly, 10,000 armor soldiers can top 100,000 male soldiers.

Tang Feng was busy commanding, his eyes were watching the changes in the battlefield, but he also took time out of his busy schedule to nod his head and agree with Caton's words.

In other words, he was the first user and beneficiary of this armor!

If it weren't for its protection, he would have been killed by the enemy's strong men in that war with the Taranto rebels.

Anthony shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"You think these armors are weeds in the mountains and forests, how many or how many?"

The armor built with the refining technique of the cultivation system of another world is naturally good, but the steel materials consumed are also amazing. The discarded and broken weapons and equipment looted from General John, as well as the swords and armor discarded by the Taranto rebels collected during the cleaning of the battlefield, were piled up like a hill. After Anthony's refining and forging, it is now completely depleted. And the final harvest is the 300 sets of armor in front of you.

Of course, despite the huge cost, given the good performance of this special armor, the Brilliant Empire will not hesitate to support him in creating a formidable hoplite, even if it tightens its belt.

But in addition to the extreme cost of materials, this armor requires Anthony to perform some kind of secret method to support it. Otherwise, the weight of the materials required for ordinary armor is several times the weight of the soldiers, and before they can go into battle to kill the enemy, they will first crush the soldiers they wear into pulp.

With Anthony's current cultivation, 300 sets is his limit.

Anthony looked at Lord Sword Saint with a look of regret, and couldn't help but quip: "I originally said that I would prepare a set for you, but you didn't want it." Do you regret it now? It doesn't matter, maybe it won't work if you have more, just make another set for you and it's okay. ”

Caton shook his head and said proudly: "This set of toys you made is a treasure for ordinary people, but it is like chicken ribs for top powerhouses. If the enemy can break through my protective fighting spirit, I'm afraid this armor won't be able to save me. Besides, in the battle of masters, the victory and defeat are only a fraction of a second, and even if the armor is light enough, it will always hinder my actions to some extent. In general, the gains still outweigh the losses, so don't do it. ”

"Really? Don't regret it. Anthony looked at him sideways, and there was a hint of banter in his tone.

That is, Anthony, if he were someone else, he couldn't even breathe in front of the Azure Sword Saint, let alone ridicule and tease.

Caton hesitated.

According to his original intention, he wanted to refuse arrogantly. But thinking of Anthony's endless magical methods, who dares to guarantee that he will not really make a thing that can make his heart flutter in the future. Now that I am greedy and have rejected it for a while, will I take the initiative to ask for it with my face in my face when the time comes?

The Juggernaut was struggling on the side, but Anthony turned his gaze back to the battlefield.

Suddenly, a loud voice came from the bandit army on the opposite side.

"Surrender, we surrender!"
