Chapter VII: Combat

Josephine and Lorraine were located in an area called Aroon, the name chosen by the first colonists when they wanted to establish their own ideal country, and was named Aroon after the colonial management meeting, and over time the people here also called themselves Aroon. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The number of people in the state is about 400,000, but the statistics are indeed 20 years ago, and no one knows the exact data at present, among which the strongest force is the Belland port guard (but all of them are wiped out), and the rest of the country is only the militia guard and horse thieves.

The Warthog Legion was ordered to start its march towards the saltpeter mines, and it took only five days to drive out the bandits and slave owners who had taken over the mines, but the angry little soldiers slaughtered a large number of enemy troops with great cruelty.

It shouldn't be said that it was the enemy army, the security regiment with only a small number of muskets and machetes in front of it had no strength to resist the attack of the legion at all, and the iron gate that was put down in a hurry was also easily broken by the magic armor, and then it was time for the slaughter.

The slave workers in the saltpeter mines did little to appease them, and immediately at the instigation of the small soldiers, they actively asked to join the army, and considering that there were 3,000 of them, Lorraine pinched his nose and sent a hundred miscellaneous soldiers to escort most of them back to the rear.

Even if many people were taken away, the number of the legion rose to 2,000 men, and these new former slave workers all had combat experience, although there were minor problems with physical strength and health.

Almost while the Warthog Legion has completed the task of regional suppression, the largest city in Aroon, the capital of Varanka, is still in a state of singing and dancing.

Of course, it was the commoners, the low-level professionals, and the slaves who felt that everything was as it was, but not for the rulers, because the governor here had betrayed the former monarch and deigned to form a council with a group of slave chiefs to govern the affairs of the entire state.

They learned of Josephine and her army from the fleeing slave traders, and the unusually anxious rulers did not spend much time forming and recruiting a large army with the intention of crushing the Lily's banner and, incidentally, quietly spreading the news to other states.

Lorraine didn't know what was going on with the enemy, but he felt that he might be a long time ahead of the collapse of those bastard slave traders.

This group of recruits who are barely able to fight cannot be compared with the imperial soldiers of the Seventh Legion at all, they have no so-called sense of respect and inferiority and military style, and they do everything to fight the enemy and save themselves, but the means are too inferior!

The newly liberated Elamites were the most reliable, but unfortunately, under the guidance of the hooligans of all races, they also became giggling and fighting, and every time they camped, someone slipped away quietly, except for the real cowards who would run away, and the others would come back, but ......

"You bastards! Where did the bandits come from!?

"We don't know, sir!"

"I'm really unlucky, hurry up and inform the cavalry, let them go around and find a chance to attack!"

"Yes!"

All this is still because of the unscrupulous soldiers' sneak attack, it was not easy to find a campsite, arranged for all the resting Lorraine to shrink in the tent to rest, suddenly there was a commotion on the periphery, and then the bandits who did not know from which corner jumped out, yelled and launched an attack on the barracks.

At first, the sentries didn't care about the scum, but soon they realized that something wasn't right - the bastards had pushed a few infantry cannons out of the hidden mound!

Suddenly the camp exploded, chaos was inevitable, and even Lorraine ran to the front line in a daze, and had to pull up the earthen wall as a cover, shooting back and angrily scolding his men.

However, within ten minutes, Lorraine found that the infantry guns were very poorly accurate, and even if the occasional shot hit the bunker, it could not even penetrate the not very thick earthen wall.

Sent a small goblin to reconnoiter closely, only to find out that the artillery of these bandits is: goblins.

That's right, it's the ubiquitous goblins in fantasy novels, who rely entirely on numerical superiority to crush low-level adventurers, and are often pushed back, occasionally able to defeat novice adventurers, and by the way do some curious events - such as letting a captive of the opposite sex give birth to a child or something.

Well, without discussing these strange stories, the goblins that Lorraine saw were obviously smarter than the monsters on the mainland, how could they know how to operate the cannon if they weren't smart, and they could also arrange a circle of chirping musket boy guards, and the shape of those muskets really made people wonder if they would explode.

As for the accuracy of the artillery, of course, it is because the forging of these goblins is very poor, and it is completely substandard products, and even the steel does not know which scrap heap it came from.

"Boom!"

Sure enough, the inferior cannon that had been used continuously exploded, and the hapless bandit artillery was swept away, and before they could react, the cavalry had already completed their maneuver around the rear and launched a charge amid the shouts of the lieutenant.

Almost at the same time, Major Ye and Lorraine led the assembled infantry to attack the enemy, and the magic guide armor with amazing combat power rushed up to open the peerless at the first time, and the efficiency was simply invincible.

However, Lorraine was really distressed about the ammunition problem when he saw them frantically pulling the big guns, but after seeing the goblins, he immediately forgot about it, as long as he could squeeze enough information and oil from the mouths of these bastards, everything would be fine.

After an hour of fierce exchange of fire between the bandits and the Warthogs, all of them were captured or annihilated, and when Lorraine learned the reason for the attack from the other side, the whole man was Spartan.

"Can you repeat that?"

"Sir, I'm really not lying, the goblin boss asked us to attack the camp, and that bastard didn't say it was the army at all!"

"Goblin ...... Top dog? ”

"Yes, the goblin caliphate, the strongest king in the wilderness apart from the prefect and the capital city of Varanka."

Well, this is indeed a bit confusing, why the weak goblins, who were almost exterminated by the regular armies of various countries in the main continent, can become the strongest bandit king in the wilderness of Aroon State in the New World, and even alien races can dominate it, believe it or not, Lorraine can only believe it.

"Where's the caliphate?"

"This ...... All we know is that the caliph boss has been gathering troops lately......"

The rambling words of the bandits who spoke clearly displeased the officers around Lorraine, with bayonets and muskets raised, and even the hand-to-hand soldiers looked at the unlucky man with hideous eyes.

"The Boss is in the Cuckold Forest! He said he was going to negotiate with the big men in Varanka and deal with the Citiers in the southern port together! ”

It's really annoying news, although the sweep plan was prepared to be discovered by the enemy at the beginning, but this is not half of the planned plan, and Aroon's enemies have united to prepare to deal with Lorraine, which has to be said to be a bad thing.

Of course, there is a good side to this, the enemies are difficult to deal with when they gather together, but as long as they can be eliminated together, the whole of Aroon will be theirs, but ......

"Cuckold Forest, what a disgusting name......"

"Indeed, it is said that in the East, there are still some bad claims about green hats......"

Lorraine and Major Ye glanced at each other, and a sense of identity appeared in their hearts, hey, what a ......

"Anyway, send out scouts, and go when you understand the situation...... Cuckold Forest! ”

What a nasty name, choosing to negotiate there is definitely a flag! (To be continued.) )
