Chapter 140: Highland Swordsmen and Lobster Spearmen

His Royal Highness Prince Ferdinand, the deputy head of the Bull Mercenary Regiment, sat in the center with a gloomy face.

The other members of the royal family stayed by with trepidation, their faces pale, and they didn't even dare to come out.

"Everyone, they are all cadres of our bull mercenary group, and their experience and resume are far superior to ordinary small mercenary groups." His Highness's words were filled with great anger, like an impending storm, "Can anyone tell me why even a small mercenary group can't deal with it?" ”

No one spoke.

People who can mix with middle-level cadres in the big mercenary group, of course, can't be stupid enough to think that His Highness is really asking questions...... He's just venting his anger.

Of course, the Azure Sword is indeed not a good stubble.

At first, when they refused His Highness's solicitation, everyone laughed at it. Because with His Highness's temper, he will inevitably take revenge on the Azure Sword, and when the time comes, just see how these guys die.

After learning that the Azure Sword had defected to the Grand Master and had been sent to deliver a message in the Great Forest of Lusitania, His Royal Highness Ferdinand sent a messenger to the city-state of Seville, where the Azure Sword must pass, to inform the undead demigod Black Knight stationed there.

It stands to reason that an undead demigod should be a sure thing to destroy a human mercenary group without a demigod, right?

As a result, the Azure Sword successfully arrived in Lusitania, and there was no sign of being intercepted by the undead at all, which made His Royal Highness Ferdinand scold these undead for being parallel goods.

The question is: if the undead are parallel goods, then what is the level of us humans who are blocked by these undead at the bottom of the plateau?

So everyone ignored this embarrassing question and enthusiastically offered advice, since the undead didn't stop each other, then it's okay to find the conservative forces inside the Lusitanian half-elves, right?

The conservatives, led by Elder Dilal, have long maintained a tacit understanding with the Aragonese royal family represented by Ferdinand.

As soon as the Elven Queen Maya plans to leave the royal family behind the Aragonese and find more buyers for the Sorcerer's Stone Vein, Elder Dilal will immediately incite the crowd to riot and exaggerate the sense of distrust and hostility towards the outside world.

However, the families of these conservative parliamentarians were able to capture the lion's share of the profits secretly smuggled into the Aragonese royal family.

Because there are interests involved, according to the usual practice, as long as the Aragonese royal family secretly makes a request, the conservatives will definitely help and solve the small mercenary group of the Blue Sword.

Soon, however, the results from Lusitania were still shocking.

Not only did the conservatives fall apart completely as a sign of Elder Dilar's exile, but the Elven Queen Maya finally got her wish and returned to power, and the first thing she did after centralizing power was to break off the secret smuggling trade with the Aragonese royal family and instead sell the production of the Wizard's Stone to the Weissbach family in the HRE, the city of Olympia in Ciris, and the Outville family in Sicily.

So angry that even the king of the kingdom of Aragone-Castile and the father of Prince Ferdinand wrote to him and asked him fiercely if there was some conflict with the elves, why the trade channels were suddenly cut off? Do you know how much treasury revenues have been cut this month?

In the face of his father's questioning, how else could Ferdinand answer? At this time, he could only sit in the center of the hall with a gloomy face, gather all his subordinates, brainstorm, and vent his anger by the way.

The latter is the main purpose, as for the former...... The blue sword is now nesting in the station and can't come out, so you can't pick up the sword and kill it, right? There's no way to calculate the other party!

"Your Highness!" At this time, another cadre rushed in from outside the door, "The Sword of Palazzo...... The commander of the Azure Sword has taken over the mission! ”

"What a mission!" His Highness Ferdinand immediately rose to his feet in high spirits.

With the strength of the Azure Sword, and the importance that Grand Master Deslar places on them, there must be some super difficult tasks, such as assassinating the undead demigods, breaching fortress towns, or cutting off the supply lines of the army. Ferdinand's side will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to fall into the well, set a trap, and crush the Azure Sword in one fell swoop.

"Yes......" The cadre rushed over at full speed as soon as he got the news, and was out of breath at this time, "It's going to the Central Mountain Range to support the Plantagenet Mercenary Regiment!" ”

"Plantagenet mercenary group?" Everyone looked at each other, "Is that the Britannia mercenary group wearing a top hat and women's clothes?" ”

His Royal Highness Ferdinand showed a thoughtful expression, thought for a moment, and then hastily wrote a letter and handed it to the messenger beside him.

——————————————

The Plantagenet Mercenary Regiment, from Britannia, is a semi-militarized and semi-feudal mercenary group exclusively funded by the royal family of Anjou.

On the one hand, they have a highly militarized character; On the other hand, most of these people have direct crown domains on the island of Britannia. So in fact, these mercenaries can be regarded as military aristocrats...... The kind at the bottom.

The so-called direct domain of the royal family means that the ownership of the land still belongs to the royal family, and the remaining profits go to the mercenaries after deducting the necessary operating expenses from the annual income. Once a mercenary chooses to leave the Plantagenet mercenary group, the subsequent benefits will be immediately deprived by the royal family, so as to bind the mercenaries to the team.

At this time, the central mountain range where the Plantagenet mercenaries were stationed was the southern border of the Castile region and the second front line of the battle against the undead. Since the height of the central mountain range is much higher than the Ramangcha Plateau, it poses a condescending geographical advantage to the undead army, and the counter-offensive of the human camp is mainly advanced from here.

When Aske arrived at the fortress in the Central Mountains, he saw that the plateau was full of scattered battle lines.

On the undead side, there are hordes of armored skeletons and ghouls the size of calves running around, and the dense sea of soldiers is intimidating.

On the human side...... In the front row are "Highland Swordsmen" wearing skirts and leather armor, with yellow-blue oil paint painted on their faces, holding large swords and slashing like a hurricane; In the back row are the "lobster gunners" in red sweatshirts and bearskin hats, holding rifles and shooting with rifles.

Each time, the lobster gunners fired a platoon, knocking the ghouls in the front row to the ground, and then the highland swordsmen rushed up and slashed indiscriminately, and the lobster gunners took the opportunity to reload and pull the bolt. After a few seconds, the Highland swordsmen turned and retreated, and the lobster spearmen had raised their guns again to aim, and another line of shots.

This kind of rifle with a single shot has to pull the bolt and change the ammunition, both the bullet and the fire door are specially made, and the armor-piercing ability against the undead is excellent, and the recoil is also huge. Therefore, the lobster spearmen are all stout men who are about 1.6 meters tall, and they have to hold their shock-absorbing grips against their shoulders every time to barely aim and fire.

The highland swordsmen, on the other hand, are muscular men with an average of 1.8 meters per capita, although it is a bit strange that they wear skirts collectively...... According to some players, this alternates between running back and forth at high speeds, and slightly tighter pants tend to tear the crotch, and only the skirt is convenient for long legs.

Of course, women's clothing bosses always say that they don't like women's clothing, so this statement is also doubtful.
