The five hundred soldiers sent by Chidel were cutting down the branches and piling them on the cart, and the soldiers in charge of the guard did not find any trace of the thief army at all, and the mission was very smooth today, not even a cold arrow.

"It seems that those thieves don't have the courage to harass them, right?"

"If he dares to come, we will destroy him, and we have been pretending to be a ghost for the past few months, so that we can't eat or sleep well. If it falls into the hands of Lao Tzu, they want to look good! ”

The soldiers shouted as they busied themselves with their work.

Suddenly, a soldier in charge of the guard let out a scream: "There are enemy troops! Quantity・・・・・・"

Before he could finish speaking, an arrow pierced his throat, and the soldier fell to the ground and died. The soldiers who heard this drew their weapons one after another, and those who didn't hear clearly were still asking each other about the situation, and at this moment, a sound of breaking the sky came from all around, followed by a rain of arrows like locusts! The arrow came with such ferocity that the soldier who was shot was pierced by one arrow, and then into the body of the second soldier!

"What kind of arrow is this! It's horrible! ”

"Stop talking nonsense, hide behind a tree!"

"Stupid! There are more enemies than us, flee back! ”

Shouts echoed through the air, and the Yaqui soldiers had never seen the power of their crossbow arrows before, and a great sense of fear forced them to retreat towards the fortress. If their commander had been able to dodge the first wave of arrows, they could have given them more effective instructions, but it seems that the heavens no longer favor these sub-unit soldiers. The scattered soldiers managed to escape the woods only to find themselves stepping into hell. Without the shelter of the woods, running in an open field is simply an excellent target for crossbow arrows. The open field leading to the fortress became the graveyard of the Yaki soldiers, who were shot to the ground like rabbits one by one, screaming and wailing incessantly.

Just then, the doors of the Vera Fortress opened. Keidel rushed out with a group of soldiers with shields in hand. Chidel was remorseful when he found out that he had been tricked by the other party, and although he knew that it was the right thing to do now, he couldn't watch these siblings being slaughtered one by one by the thieves. The soldiers who rushed out built a defensive line with their shields and quickly advanced, covering the retreat of their comrades to the fortress.

However, this move was an outright mistake, and the fact that Keddle was caught in this ambush out of caution and out of remorse for his mistake led to an even greater disaster.

Two cavalry rushed out of the woods, led by a masked white-robed knight and a large man armed with a giant sword. The white-robed knight outflanked Chidel's troops, and the big man rushed to the gates of the fortress of Vera at the same time. Seeing this, Chidel was shocked and hurriedly shouted to the city, "Leave us alone! Close the gates! ”

Keidel wondered if the soldiers in the city could hear his shouts, and remorse flooded his brain. At this time, the white-robed knight had rushed to the front, the spear in Chidel's dance hand was in a posture, but he felt a pain in his leg, and when he looked down, he found that his right leg had been pierced by an arrow, when Keddle came back to his senses, the white-robed knight had already cut down the soldiers who were in front of him to protect him, and a cold light hit his neck, and Chiddle was busy parrying with a spear, and the horse flew past him, and the white-robed knight stabbed him backhanded, hitting the back of Chidel's neck・・・・・・

Seeing that Chidel was killed in battle, the soldiers in the city were in chaos. A centurion hurriedly ordered the gates to be closed, but unfortunately the order was given a little too late, and by this time Xenas had already rushed into the gates, and his huge sword immediately caused a storm of blood in the fortress of Vera. Afterwards, the cavalry who followed Xenas into the city described that Xenas was a meat grinder, and all the creatures in his way were torn into pieces of flesh. In the face of Xenas's formidable slaughter, the courage and skill of the Yaqui army were all lost, and the continuous influx of cavalry firmly controlled the city gate in their own hands, and the infantry who followed also rushed in.

In less than an hour, the entire fortress of Vera completely fell, and except for the more than 70 people who surrendered in the city, the rest of the nearly 1,000 people were all annihilated -- because he was worried that this rapid attack would be unfavorable, Li Tianhao gave a death order, doing everything possible to kill the enemy army, and never allowing the enemy troops who had already left the city to return to the city.

Originally, Li Tianhao just wanted to annihilate the enemy's living forces as much as possible and relieve the pressure for the subsequent attack on the Vera Fortress. But no one expected that Chidel would send troops to respond, let alone that Xenas's attack on the city gate would actually break through the city gate, originally Li Tianhao just asked him to cut off the enemy's retreat and wait for the opportunity to enter and occupy the city gate, but as a result, the Vera fortress exchanged masters in an unexpected situation for both sides. Chidel's erroneous actions gave Lee a great gift in vain, but Lee's orders were fully carried out, and the result was that the fortress of Vera was filled with a strong smell of blood, which could not be dispersed for a long time.

"Looks like I gave a bad order." Li Tianhao looked at the corpses all over the ground, shook his head and sighed.

Xenas approached with his greatsword in his hand, and the blood of his enemies stained it a bright red. Hearing Li Tianhao's exclamation, the red man smiled: "Really, when you gave the order just now, you were so firm and ruthless, do you feel guilty again?" You look a little like that Babasbarne. ”

Li Wenyan shook his head and said, "I just don't want to carry out senseless killings. It's good now, it's a satisfying result compared to the casualties it would have cost to storm the fortress of Vera. ”

Silas patted Li Tianhao on the back: "Little brother, if I hadn't overcome this emotion when I was young, I wouldn't have been able to be a mercenary." ”

"You're not that old, don't pretend to be an old man." Alam, who was following Lee, couldn't help but speak.

Ignoring him, Xenas continued, "I cut three centurions, and the price will be calculated separately. ”

"What a money junkie!" Alam pouted and cursed.

Li Tianhao nodded, then raised his head and stared at the sky, and said leisurely: "Order the whole army, rest in place for three days, I want to go hunting nearby to relax." Xenas, Aram, come with me. Leave the aftermath to Tatar, and ask Woolley and Lorencis if they would be interested in going together. ”

"I see, boss, I'm going to give the order."

As soon as Aram finished speaking, the man had already run away.

Xenas looked in the direction of Alam, turned back to look at Li Tianhao's back, and muttered in a low voice: "Actually, you will be fine if you drink a large barrel of wine, and there is no commission to get for hunting or something." ”
