Although their combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the Manders infantry, it was more than enough to deal with these thirty militiamen.

The militia captain couldn't help but drown when he looked at the huge number of mercenaries whose combat effectiveness far surpassed that of himself and others, after all, he was just a box of young people in his twenties, and he joined the militia with enthusiasm.

In order to be able to one day in the future, become a glorious Mandes infantryman, or even a majestic heavy infantry wearing heavy armor and holding a giant axe.

As for whether he can become a noble knight, he does not dare to have a little extravagant hope, that kind of idea is too unrealistic, to be able to stand out among the Mendes infantry and become the king of infantry is his greatest pursuit.

But now, he had to make a choice, ah no, it's not actually a choice, it's a death anyway.

Therefore, he did not intend to have any weakness towards Xiren, he resolutely pulled out the long sword at his waist, stared at the enemy tightly, and said at the same time: "Brothers, anyway, we will die here today anyway, so we will simply fight with the enemy!" ”

"He's the invincible Fox of Denlenburg! As a citizen of Baron William, we must not disgrace him! The militia captain took a deep breath and said, "Even if we die in battle, our families will be compensated, as the merciful Baron has always done!" ”

"What are we afraid of? When they die, their families won't have anyone to take care of, and we're much better off than they are, aren't we? ”

"So...... Fight! ”

The militia captain waved the long sword in his hand and said, "Assemble a melee formation and prepare for battle!" ”

The combined melee formation is the kind of combat formation that the Mandes infantry usually use, the kind of battle formation that they usually use, and the militia also received this kind of training.

The militiamen, with spears in their hands, rushed towards the enemy with a little nervousness.

The militia is still a militia in the end, and there is still an insurmountable gap between the combat effectiveness and the battle-hardened mercenaries, and soon, these thirty militiamen were scattered.

The basic battle formation could no longer be maintained, and the militia captain saw that he could not do anything, and hurriedly turned two people from his side.

He said to them, "Follow the route we have taken, and immediately inform the Baron, you, go to the nearest inn to us, and inform them that the enemy is coming, and let them be prepared not to be attacked by the enemy!" ”

"And you, go and inform the instructors about them, as well as the nearby villages, so that they are all ready, understand?" The militia captain said with a serious face.

The three of them had gratitude on their faces, and at the same time their eyes were a little red, and they knew that the captain had kept the hope of living for himself.

"Be careful yourself, we're gone, Captain!" The three of them shouted with red eyes, and then hid the enemy's location and ran in different directions quickly.

"Got it!"

After the militia finished fighting, he took the long sword in his hand and returned to the battle.

The militiamen's combat experience and training are not very good, so their combat effectiveness is naturally not as good as that of the mercenaries, and they are defeated and retreated.

The militia captain grasped the flaw of the enemy in front of him, and successfully slashed the long sword in his hand on his neck, the leather armor on his body did not protect his neck at all, and he would definitely die in the face of this sword.

Just as he rejoiced in his success in slaying his enemy, a spear stabbed at him from behind.

"Ahem!"

"Ho Ho ......"

The bloody spear pierced straight through his chest, after all, this leather armor was unguarded behind his back, so it could be easily pierced.

The intense pain and suffocating sensation caused him to make a series of meaningless sounds from his throat, and he struggled desperately, but he still couldn't recover the loss of his life.

In the end, he collapsed in a pool of blood and became an unknown corpse on the battlefield, perhaps he would be collected by William in the future and a tomb would be built for him, but more likely, he would become a nameless corpse in the Fato Forest.

It is bitten by wild animals in the forest, eaten by ants and insects, and finally turned into a handful of fertilizer, making the land in the forest more fertile.

In the end, none of the thirty-odd soldiers, except for the three lucky ones, survived, and all of them died at the hands of the enemy.

The mercenary captain looked at the corpses on the ground, with a bit of admiration on his face, and he could see that these people were just a group of militiamen.

He still has the courage to fight to the end with himself, of course, he is also a little annoyed, in order to eliminate these thirty militiamen, he actually made him pay the price of nineteen people, which is simply a great shame.

Don't look at the full twenty-seven militiamen but only brought the price of nineteen to the enemy, the battle is not a turn-based game, and the situation of a large number of people is completely different from a small number of people.

The specific casualties still depend on the situation on the battlefield, and it is already very rare that these 27 militiamen can kill 19 mercenaries who have the advantage in equipment, training, and combat experience.

Half a day later, two of the three soldiers had reached their destination, and the soldiers who had gone to the post had arrived at the nearest post station.

There were more than twenty such stations in William's entire territory, and on average, there were five Manders infantry and more than two dozen militiamen stationed in each station.

At the same time, during this period, there will be more than 50 heavy cavalry cruising in different directions every day, and there are a total of 75 heavy cavalry and knights trained by William, and it is not difficult to take out 50 people to cruise.

Alerted, the post tonnage strengthened its defenses, and the cruising heavy cavalry and knights stayed in the vicinity, ready for battle.

Because of these dozen heavy cavalry and knights, the post station that was searched was not breached, and the group of mercenaries left here under the deterrence of the knights.

As for the militia who had been sent to deliver the letter to William, he arrived at William's place in the evening.

"What? You found traces of the enemy in the Fato Forest today? William asked with a frown.

He did not receive any information that the enemy had begun to move, after all, the spy organization of Tus had spread throughout the Denlenburg area.

If Viscount Winston's side really started attacking, there is no chance that he will not receive any news.

"Are you sure it's Viscount Winston's man?"

William was a little skeptical and asked again.

This time, however, he asked for something really useful, and the militiaman said, "That's not Viscount Winston's men, but a group of mercenaries, but it looks like they're in the service of Viscount Winston!" ”

William nodded after listening, mercenary combat is a very common thing among nobles, not to mention that it is impossible to know that mercenaries are hired to fight, and the enemy will of course increase the chances of victory as much as possible.

Now that he knew that the enemy had begun to test him, William could not continue to be silent, anyway, the two sides had declared war, and even if he suddenly attacked, he would not be criticized.

What's more, he must not let the war take place in his prosperous territory, which would be devastating to his territory.
