34 Battle

"General Tibi has an order, this afternoon, you will fight in the vanguard and engage in a frontal battle with the enemy!"

The herald entered the tent, saw Floyd, handed over a scroll of papers, and after explaining what had happened, he planned to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Freud took the paperwork and hurriedly called out to the other party, "Isn't General Tibi supposed to be defending?

"I don't know. The herald shook his head, his brow furrowed slightly, "But, I heard that a knight came from the middle camp, and it was he who suggested that General Tibi fight a frontal battle." ”

"Is that so? Thank you. Floyd nodded and shoved a small purse into the other.

The other party accepted it very kindly, and said a few more words, implying that he would say a few more kind words in return.

Don't be stingy with that little money bag, maybe tomorrow morning there will be some meat in the cart as a reward from the camp.

After the herald left, Floyd sat down on his throne with a frown and pondered for a moment, then finally looked at Lear.

"Lear, what do you think?"

Lear shook his head, "It's hard to say, after all, it's another knight's suggestion." Perhaps, General Tibi's previous refusal to defend has always been a sign of weakness, and this afternoon's sudden decision to surprise is the real thing?"

Floyd's brow furrowed even tighter: "I once heard of Tibi when I was a knight, his defensive command was reliable, but his offensive command was not outstanding. And another knight was able to make Tibi trust and obey...... No, there are too many knights with status and status in the Kingdom of Riardo, and I can't guess which one. ”

Lear spread his hands, saying that he didn't know what Tibby was trying to do.

Wei Ken listened quietly to the conversation between the two, and at this time prepared to maintain the long sword again and prepare for the afternoon battle.

"No matter what, we are cannon fodder now, and if we can be cautious, we should be as cautious as possible. "I just hope that we don't get to the battle that will start the next day and become our last." ”

"Lear, inform the whole army, combat readiness. ”

"Yes. ”

For lunch, each person had a small piece of hard bread and a little more soup than a few bites.

No one dared to slack off in the fierce battle in the afternoon. The small casino in the barracks was also closed at this time, and everyone was preparing for the afternoon battle.

Some people pray, and they don't know if God will bless them. Someone sharpened the knife even more, but the limit of these iron knives was already there. Some people recalled their families, and dared to do this kind of battlefield taboo? Some people seemed to check the armor on their bodies, but the armor issued by Forest Town was very poor.

Weken lay on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, no longer looking at Loku and Negar who were cramming beside him, nor at Eivar's recruits who were repeatedly gesturing with their hands the combat skills they had taught during training in Forest Town.

Except for the existence of the magician, which made me feel a little worried, everything else, I did my best to complete, and there were basically no mistakes.

If you have to say it, it may be the "lack of experience" that occurs when you "have never been on a real battlefield", right? Of course, "not fighting with the soldiers of the Vichy Empire" can also be regarded as a sign of "inexperience".

"Vichy Empire...... How powerful is it?" said Weken, slowly opening his eyes and looking at the top of the tent.

Inside the tent, everyone was afraid that they would fall on the battlefield.

Weken was recalling the information about the Vichy Empire when he was studying with Lizlit.

Half of the land in the northern region of the country is in the polar regions, and there is ice and snow all year round. Because of the cold, the people there are usually very large. There was little to no farming, so hunting became essential for their survival, and good hunters were abundant. In addition to hunting, the remaining half of their territory also has animal husbandry, so the horses of the Vichy Empire are also famous far and wide.

Therefore, the regular soldiers of the Vichy Empire would have tall and strong orangutans. Many of them will be archers, many will be cavalry.

If you are an archer, you may be able to raise a large shield to deal with it.

But the words of the cavalry......

"It's hard to deal with......" Weken shook his head.

Although I have learned equestrian skills, I don't know how to fight right away.

It seems that they can only be pierced with spears. When the time comes, kill a few people, upgrade your equestrian skills to proficiency, and fight on horseback......

Or is it better to focus the remaining ten souls on equestrianism now?

Weken closed his eyes again, not wanting to see Eivar and his recruits kneeling on the ground, praying haphazardly.

Why don't you upgrade your "shield use" to proficiency first? With a proficient shield use skill, you can also equip yourself with a shield to deal with those tricky enemies.

"Forget it, let's see the step-by-step. Weken shook his head, sat up, and walked out of the tent.

The battle is imminent, and there is no point in making any temporary preparations at this time, and the importance of previous efforts is fully demonstrated.

Bang Bang Bang!!

The alarm bell rang for a long time, and the army was assembled.

Only twenty soldiers remained, led by two veterans, to guard the camp. The remaining 130 or so soldiers all stood in formation, followed by Floyd, and together with their allies, they took the lead on the road to the battlefield.

The cannon fodder opened the way, and the regular army pressed the formation.

It's hard to survive, but it's easy. As long as you hold on, save your life, and drag the regular army behind you to determine that the battlefield situation in front of you is worth charging, and drag the regular army soldiers to rush to their side, and cross their bodies to fight with the enemy, then the cannon fodder will survive.

Mixed in with the regular army, even if you don't do anything, no one will care from the sidelines.

Cannon fodder is just cannon fodder, miscellaneous soldiers are just miscellaneous soldiers, it's enough to be alive.

The team marches forward.

In front is an unknown plain, and on the left is a deep forest. In the distance, you can see a military camp, and several small military camps that are as small as the stars, almost too small to be ignored.

"It's pretty much the same as the layout here...... Except that there are no annoying walls. ”

Weken was in Freud's personal guard at this time, and he was accompanied by several veterans.

Freud rode his horse and looked ahead: "Enemy, coming. The shield guards step forward, ready to meet the enemy's charge!"

Lear, as his lieutenant, prioritized the matters of the battle, helping Floyd to order: "The shield guard step forward!"

The thirteen squads immediately obeyed the order, and the shield guards in each squad stepped forward and formed a formation according to the squad.

In the front row are sword and shield men, in the middle are pikemen and axemen, and in the back are sword men.

This unbreakable formation was laid out, and everyone's hearts settled down a little. In this case, even a regular army facing the enemy can hold out for a while, right?

However......

Rumble!!

In the sky, there was a small dark cloud. A flash of lightning flashed, and before the explosion could stun people to the ground, three rays of light smashed directly into this small vanguard army composed of three cannon fodder armies.

Accompanied by three rays of light, there were three small pits on the ground, as well as more than a dozen soldiers who were screaming and being lifted away.

The "unbreakable" formation is like a joke when facing the magician......

"Mage!" Floyd dismounted, and with a swoop hurried to the ground, "spread out !! lie down !!"

No one dared to think about anything, and everyone did as Freud did.

Weken was silent......

The wounded soldier screamed and lay in a circle around the three pits. In the pit, five people who were directly hit by the light were mutilated, and their faces were unrecognizable.

This kind of thing, you can't stop it...... There is absolutely no way for human beings to face this so-called "natural disaster".

It's like the other party is using a single cannon, but he is resisting with a wooden shield.

No matter how skilled the skill is, there is no way to deal with it, and in those crowds, a figure standing on a carriage, wearing an expensive robe and holding a slender staff......

"Weken!" Lear hurriedly threw Weken to the ground.

At this moment, a thunderclap hit the place where Weken had been standing......

Tinnitus, can't hear anything clearly.

So, did I survive?
