Inlaid Iron Shield-

The small round shield, made of hard sandalwood and wrapped in iron sheet, can protect the chest and abdomen of the warrior, and effectively prevent the dagger from stabbing with short weapons, and the twenty-step outer corner bow cannot be shot through. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Bang", a double-sided axe with a cold light struck straight down, and the shield body and the shield bearer cracked in response, divided into four pieces.

Steel shield――

The medium-sized rectangular shield commonly used by knights, with a delicate pattern painted on the surface of hardened hard steel, is not afraid of long sword slashes and strong bow shots from fifty paces away, and can cover most of the body.

"Boom", the double-sided axe with cold light slashed head-on, and the shield, the shield bearer, and the mount cracked in response, splitting into six pieces.

Tower Shield Array——

The massive protective shield, which is more than one person tall and wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, can form a thick wall side by side when the sharp bottom corners of the multi-sided tower shield are firmly inserted into the ground, and are designed to resist the threat of spear-throwing crossbows and the charging of heavy cavalry regiments.

"Bang", the double-sided axe swept across again, more than ten tower shields shattered in turn, a large area of blood rain splashed from behind, and a few wails sounded briefly, and returned to silence again.

Anti-dragon shield――

The legendary defensive artifact was created by Aojin mixed with Cinnabar in the Collapse Force Field area, and all weapons in the world could not destroy it. In a legendary era, a legendary hero once carried this aegis and wielded a legendary sword to kill a legendary dragon. Later, Aegis fell into the hands of a powerful warrior, and he formed a mercenary group named after the shield, and developed the team into one of the ten strongest mercenary groups in the mainland.

"Bang", the double-sided axe slashed the anti-dragon shield, the large canopy spark sprayed, the shield was intact, the axe blade melted into a blunt strip, and the shield bearer could not stand the strong impact and was shocked off the mount.

"Bang", the double-sided axe swung out again, and the blunt blade smashed into the shield, and the shield body was instantly pressed almost flush with the ground, still intact, but there was an extra paper-like corpse underneath.

Small pot lid——

The unfinished fir wood is easy to process, and after years of smoking, it is slippery to grab. Mercenaries who were born as farmers often took them away from home, and they could cook food in peacetime, and symbolically used as armor in wartime to seek psychological comfort, which was really the best equipment for poor people to travel at home and kill people and set fires.

A giant swarthy hand pinched the lid of the pot and gently pulled it off. The boy who had lost his only defense stood in a daze, and in his pupils, reflected by the cold light of the axe, a tall and mighty, vicious and hideous unicorn bull-headed monster appeared, with an extremely deep scar from the right eyebrow to the left cheek, and the left horn was broken from a centimeter near the root, holding a huge axe close to the length of a cavalry spear in one hand, but it could only be regarded as a short weapon for its size.

Glancing at the opponent who seemed to be in a state of idiocy, the minotaur frowned, "Boy, you can go." Seeing that he didn't react, he simply lifted him up and threw him away, far away into the defeated army that fled in embarrassment.

"Chop and chop, your sympathy is overflowing again", a short figure dragged up to the minotaur monster step by step, just enough to reach the latter's waistline, and the slightly elongated tips of his ears showed that it was a half-elf, "If he doesn't quit the mercenary line, maybe he will fight us in the future, if he still dies in your hands, what's the point of you letting him go today?" ”

"It was a mistake for a child to be forced into battle, and now that the enemy is defeated, what's the point of chasing and killing a few more lives?" The minotaur snorted, "Yiyi, what are you doing at the front line, going back to the back to treat the wounded—hey, why are you holding on to this broken shield?" ”

"You're alone, oh, a cow can kill an entire mercenary group, and what other wounded do we have?" The half-elf smiled and touched the bloodstained shield, not caring at all that his clothes were dyed bright red, "This is an anti-dragon shield, an anti-dragon shield!" Speaking of which, it's not easy for our infantry regiment to capture some loot, and every time you chop up the enemy's weapons and armor, you can't get anything. The God of Light is on top, this time I met an Aegis, and finally earned a complete product, according to my calculations, how can I sell it for a few hundred catties of bread to gnaw on, right? ”

"This broken shield has turned the double-sided axe of the Sprinkler family into a single-sided axe, and you still treat it as a treasure!" The Minotaur roared, "You're intent on touching the family's moldy head, aren't you?" ”

The half-elf was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a handful of tears and snot on his face cried, "Captain, you can't live like this anymore, if you don't allow this shield to be confiscated, everyone will have to drink the northwest wind; If you drink the northwest wind, you won't have the strength to accompany you to the charge; There is no one to charge with you, so you have to go forward alone; If you step forward alone, you have to ......"

The minotaur glared, "What is it?" ”

The half-elf muttered, "It's just that, it's just that, it's just that, you can defeat the enemy......

"Nonsense!" The minotaur let out a long breath from his nose, "Give me this broken shield, and the Sprinkler will smash it!" ”

"Here you go, you can't smash it!" The half-elf's face turned red, and he still gritted his teeth and refused to give in.

"If you can't smash it, Lao Tzu will find a crater and throw it down."

"Stinky bull head, you're too scoundrel, I just won't give it to you."

"If you don't give it, don't blame the Sprinkler family for robbing it."

"You can't bully me, I'm a minor too!" The half-elf shouted loudly, "You just said that bullying a child on the battlefield is a mistake. ”

The Minotaur flashed his eyes, "What kind of minor are you, I remember that you are forty-three years old. ”

"I'm half-elf, much longer than humans, and forty-three is just over fourteen years old." ”

The minotaur nodded, "I see." Turning his height, he shouted, "The whole infantry regiment is assembled!" ”

Thousands of soldiers in rudimentary leather armor buzzed around, pushing and trampling each other for a while, forming a random formation of seven or eight phalanxes, and if you look closely, you may be able to barely find the image of a queue.

"When our infantry regiment is 300 people, line up and call it a neat one." The half-elf who kept a few hundred catties of bread was in a good mood, and began to sigh again, "In the past two years, the number of people has increased dramatically, and the scale has increased by more than ten times, but it looks like a group of rabble, those who know can recognize us as a mercenary group, and those who don't know think they have encountered bandits." ”

A pair of burning eyes fixed on the half-elf's face - can you say less?

"Captain, after the next time you settle down, you must practice well, not only to be able to cheer you loudly in the rear and provide spiritual encouragement, but also to actually improve your combat effectiveness and give material support." The half-elf, who was focused by thousands of eyes, became more and more excited, and couldn't help but make a suggestion to the bull head.

"What the deputy captain said makes a lot of sense," the half-elf was full of smugness, and the bull head coughed, and then said, "To improve the combat effectiveness of the army, we must start with military regulations." Everyone must strictly implement every order issued in the future, and they must not be violated casually. ”

"yes, yes." The half-elf hurriedly helped, "Since we are mercenaries, we must have the appearance of soldiers, and the elite main infantry brigade of the third mercenary regiment of the dignified continent must have a majestic style no matter how you say it." In the future, everyone must conscientiously obey orders, respect their superiors, and especially do not compare me with rabbits! Don't even speculate whether the captain and the vice-captain are not married because of gender orientation......"

The two burning eyes that seemed to be red coal were aimed at the half-elf, and the minotaur was eager to cut off his head with the unrolled axe blade, so he had to steal the conversation, "I'll talk about the training later, brothers, the regiment commander ordered us to break off the rear and drive away the pursuing guys, we have completed the task." What we have to do now is to immediately catch up with the other teams and attack the Wengkou Pass together. ”

"Well, I think it's better to rest for the night." The half-elf yawned and stretched tiredly.

When he did not exist, "I order, the whole infantry regiment marched hastily until it caught up with the regimental commander." Leave right away, no one is allowed to stay for a second longer! ”

"Ahh "Captain, captain, you let everyone go in such a hurry, who will help me carry the shield? It's so heavy, I think it's heavier than me. ”

"It's your own business." The minotaur snorted disdainfully, "Enforce the military order, don't fall behind, vice-captain-"

"Chop and chop, you are a communiqué personal vendetta!" The half-elf watched the minotaur stride forward, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace, and cursed angrily, "I'm going to sue you for child abuse!" ”

In the first year of the Guangming calendar on the Lunan Continent, the "Anti-Dragon" escort regiment pursued the "Kerosene Lamp" mercenary group, and was counterattacked by the general of the opposing infantry regiment, Clark, with a single axe, and the regiment commander was quickly killed, and the whole army was dispersed.

Seven years ago, Clarke, a minotaur wandering alone in the Southern Continent looking for his kindred race, met Banbu, the founder of "Kerosene Lamp", and was moved by the lofty ideals he cherished in his heart, and joined this small mercenary group in its embryonic form under Bambu's repeated and kind invitations.

"Dear friends, we have come together from all corners of the world for a common purpose, to free all enslaved people from oppression." Back then, Bambu used such a beautiful slogan to attract countless hot-blooded young people to his command, "We send a guiding light to the darkness, we pass the torch of hope to despair, we will build a perfect world that will last forever, and the people of every race will be treated equally, all hunger, pestilence, hatred, pornography...... All will be destroyed, ah, in the light of Ferumba, the god of light, and everyone will be united as brothers! ”

"Commander, since we are going to send light to the suffering continent, why don't we use a more magnificent name, such as the Lighthouse Mercenary Group and the Holy Light Mercenary Group, it sounds like the lighting effect is better."

"Clark, do you know that the lighthouse is made of a lot, the holy light is expensive, only the kerosene lamp is simple and cheap, suitable for every household to use, we use this name, which can best reflect the true character of being close to the people."

After hearing these words, the Minotaur couldn't help but admire the mind and insight of the group leader. In the years that followed, every time the regimental commander made an impassioned declaration, he felt full of strength, blood and fighting spirit boiling like the sea, and then the broad double-sided axe would dance wildly at the forefront of the battle, cruelly and efficiently erasing countless lives. From this, he also got the most vivid nickname: chop and chop.

While the double-sided axe was wielding, the kerosene lamp was also growing. As a major general with relatively old qualifications in the regiment, he "cut and chopped" and witnessed the development of kerosene lamps from a small team of less than 100 people and iron weapons to a large-scale army with nearly 10,000 soldiers and complete infantry and cavalry archery.

Compared to the most underappreciated infantry team in other mercenary groups, Kerosene Lamp regards the infantry brigade as the main ace, all thanks to the "cut and cut" brave fighting style and terrifying killing results. The kerosene infantry often laughed at the other ranks, "Our archers are for game, the cavalry are for carrying weights, the mages are for acrobatics, and only the infantry are dedicated to fighting." "Although most of the time they are on the battlefield, they are just cheering for the captain.

In the past two years, the kerosene lamp mercenary group has been in the limelight in the Lunan Continent, and has participated in civil wars or coups in more than a dozen countries, helping a large number of royal nobles who believe in the God of Light to ascend the throne and be crowned, doubling the boundaries of the belief of the God of Light in the Lunan Continent. Even the Holy See of the God of Light in Surre, the accumulation of nearly a thousand years of missionary results has only established faith in two-fifths of the land of the Lunan Continent, which is just equal to the contribution of kerosene lamps.

However, to the incomprehension of the kerosene lamp soldiers, the Holy See did not seem to have paid any attention to their missionary exploits. As the entire Lunan Continent gradually unified under the light of the God of Light, the Holy See issued a royal decree a few months ago, introducing the chronology from the first year of the Bright Calendar in all religious countries, indicating that this was the beginning of long-term peace and stability. Subsequently, the Holy See issued a series of edicts, one of which declared that there was no need for large mercenary groups to continue to exist, and that all mercenary organizations with more than 100 people must accept the reorganization of the Holy See Guard.

The resentful kerosene lamp mercenary group, believing that they were also missionary heroes, was treated unjustly and openly rejected the Holy See's order of dissolution. The white-clad bishops of Sole were quick to respond, claiming that the kerosene lamps were a great act of blasphemy and disrespect in defiance of the will of the Lord God by preaching without the permission of the Holy See, especially by using sword and fire. Immediately afterwards, the Holy See sent five or six more papal escort groups adapted from large mercenary groups to attack the kerosene lamp mercenary group.

The kerosene lamp mercenary group, which has lost its reputation and has no land resources, will naturally not be able to support a long-term war. Ba Bu immediately made a decision and led the whole group to rush south, rushing to the last country in the Lunan Continent that had not yet bathed in the power of the God of Light, the Vegetarian Dynasty.
