Section 46 Witchcraft

"Yes, it burns, but it doesn't get too big." Arold said to General Ralph, who was beside him, and the general saw the archers firing the flaming rockets, which fell into the haystack at the knights' feet, and the fire came out of the ground, but the small flames were not painful to the knights.

"So what's the use of that?" General Ralph said with wide eyes and surprise, he thought that Arold had spent so much effort to make this trap because he wanted to attack it with fire, if he used fire, even the knight in armor would be powerless to fight, and even the knight in iron armor would suffer more damage in front of the fire.

"Who said only fire can hurt people?" After fully considering the surrounding environment, Arold found that the geographical environment here is very humid, if you use fire, unless it is a large amount of oil and flammable things piled up, there is no way to give the enemy a head-on blow, but don't forget that when the fire is formed, there is a more terrible thing, that is, smoke, Arold in the 21st century knows that people who suffer in fires are often not burned directly by fire, the real killer is smoke, and the smoke inhaled into the lungs is enough to suffocate people to death.

"Look, General." At this time, a soldier on the side said loudly, and General Ralph followed the soldier's gaze to see strange black smoke from the burning ground, and the slow-moving knights were quickly enveloped in smoke.

"What did you add to whale oil?" General Ralph saw the knights who had inhaled the smoke, coughed violently and bent down, and the sword and shield in his hand fell without knowing it, and they all staggered as if they were drunk, this situation is not caused by ordinary haystack smoke alone, thinking of the few jugs of whale oil that Arold asked for from Sir Able, he immediately thought that Arold must have done something inside.

"Actually, it's some poisonous mushrooms and belladonna, a few days ago some soldiers ate mushrooms collected in the forest and fell ill, I was curious and went to take a look, and I saw that it was really some brightly colored poisonous mushrooms, in addition to finding some belladonna, I used the juice made from these belladonna to mix it with whale oil, I didn't expect the effect to be so good." Arrod shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, thinking that he was fortunate that he was a technical otaku who had a bit of research on plants, otherwise he would have missed such a good thing, and now let the knights of the Earl of Berengar who wanted to take their lives taste the power of poison.

"Arrod, this is not the knight's doing." After listening to Arrod's words, Ralph had an embarrassed and overwhelmed look on his face, although it was used to deal with the enemy, but this method was too vicious.

"Wow~~~." Seeing the knights, who had just been invincible, shrouded in smoke and falling to the ground, the light infantry cheered loudly, they did not care about any chivalry, as long as they could defeat these iron cans, they thought it was a good strategy.

"This thing is so powerful?" General Ralph was also surprised that the liquid mixed with belladonna juice and poisonous mushrooms was a poison that could paralyze people's nerves, but this knowledge was not discovered until hundreds of years later by the witch trials of the Middle Ages, and the knowledge that had previously only been circulated among assassination families in the once highly civilized Italian city-states.

"Well, it smells so weird that the soldiers in the neighborhood cover their mouths and noses with linen." Arold sniffed the strange smell in the air, quickly ripped off the linen on his body, found some water to soak it thoroughly, and covered his mouth and nose, the smoke formed by these belladonna juices can defeat enemies and cause damage to his own people.

"Damn Masons, I'm going to kill them." The Earl of Berengarh was stunned to see that his unstoppable fifty knights were about to attack the enemy's camp, but they were inexplicably lost nearby.

"Witchcraft, it's witchcraft." The adjutant beside the Count of Berengar was no better, his face was pale and his lips trembled, and thinking of this, he quickly stretched out his right hand and drew a cross on his forehead and chest, and then took out the cross around his neck and kissed it vigorously.

"Stop the attack first, let the soldiers rest for a while, and find someone to ask the Masons how to redeem our knights." The Count of Berengarh calmed down at this time, this Mason army was really strangely important, first with strange trenches and pointed wooden stakes to form a labyrinth-like position, and now that strange smoke rose, put all his elite fifty knights, completely outside the conventional skirmish, frontal attack, flank detour tactics to fight, so that his count, who was quite a reputation for military talent among the vassals of the Duke of Saxony, had nowhere to start.

"Lord Earl, would you like to go find a priest to bless you?" The adjutant swallowed and moistened his throat, and he suggested to the Count of Berengarh in a slightly trembling voice.

"What?" The Count of Berengar's brow furrowed, wondering if this fool could not see that this was just a tactic of the enemy. But when he turned around, he saw that his knights and town militia all looked terrified, if he pushed these people into battle at this time, needless to say, he would definitely be cursed, and the knights were likely to refuse to fight because of fear, he breathed a sigh of relief, and had to say, "Go, go find a few priests to calm our souls, and may the power of God break the witchcraft of the Masons." ”

"Good lord." The adjutant happily lowered his head, turned his horse's head and walked back, the knights of Hamburg drew crosses on their chests, looking at the Masons' labyrinthine position with a look of fear, the ancient people feared ghosts and gods, even the Germanic people who had been Christianized, had a deep fear of witchcraft and ghosts, and even when it came to the Second World War, the supreme leaders of Germany were convinced of the existence of black magic, not to mention the Germanic knights of the Middle Ages, they were not afraid of the enemy facing each other with swords, But if it's the mysterious witchcraft and black magic, forget it.

"What's wrong with me?" Knight Hayden felt as if he had been kicked in the head by a horse, and there was a buzzing sound inside, but his body was fluttering as if he had come to heaven, yes, he seemed to be floating in the clouds, and in front of him floated a plump and naked female angel, their faces were as pure as babies, and their bodies were more seductive than any woman in the world, oh God, this is so perfect.

"What's wrong with this guy, he looks like he's seeing something good?"

"Wake up this giggling guy with water."

"Poof~~~."

"It's so cold, beauty, where have you been, angel?" Hayden was about to kiss a female angel with long soft golden hair, when suddenly a torrential rain fell from the sky and knocked him down from the clouds, and when he opened his eyes, there were angels and beautiful women, several rude farmers in torn linen and leggings wrapped around their feet, barefoot and barefoot were looking at him with wooden buckets, Knight Hayden was furious in his heart, how dare these lowly farmers treat him like this, he wanted to move but his hands were tied to a stake, and the chain mail and weapons on his body were gone, There are only cotton pads and fine linen shirts on the inside.

"Is this guy upset?" Arold looked at Knight Hayden, who was still sneering just now, and now he looked dazed and overwhelmed, thinking that he was not in the mushrooms added to belladonna, and he remembered that he had seen many Europeans in the 21st century go to the Norwegian forests to look for mushrooms in a show, and these mushrooms can make people flutter, which is an effect.

"Where am I? My head hurts. Hayden looked at Arrod, who was wearing leather armor and obviously looked like a squire, and asked with blank eyes.

"This is the camp of Sir Ebel, son of the Duke of Mason, and you have been taken prisoner." Arold bent down, patted the Hamburger knight in front of him on the cheek, and said to him.

"Captive, oh no, are we defeated? No way. Hayden's eyes widened, he looked around, and saw that his familiar companions were tied aside, they were dejected, they had no honor armor on their bodies, and they looked disgraced, and they didn't need to ask if they had lost the battle.

"Why don't you believe it?" Arold straightened up, laughed, and killed fifty knights at once, and Ser Able promised to give half of these fine chain mail and weapons to his family as a reward for his own plan, which was a windfall.

"Impossible, wizard, you actually fought with wizards, may God forgive you for your crimes." Knight Hayden immediately remembered the devil's black smoke rising from the ground, yes, he was delirious after inhaling the ghost smoke, and he struggled angrily, but the rope in his hand was too tightly tied.

"Wizard? Superstitious guys are just some poisonous mushrooms. Arrod did not bother to pay attention to the delirious knight, and after counting the captured knights and some of the town militia, he walked towards Sir Ebel's tent, where the Earl of Berengar's position was already sounding the sound of the horn of the retreating troops, and there was no need to worry that the enemy would attack again.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz."

Arold lifted the curtain of the tent, and from inside came the buzzing sound like a bee's hive, and saw that it was full of knights from Sir Abel's inner palace, and they seemed to be talking about something, but when Arold walked in, the tent was quiet and could hear the sound of a needle falling, and the knights looked at Arold with strange eyes, and when Arold stepped forward, several knights who were close to him hurriedly took a few steps back, as if Arold had a plague on his body.
