081 Valkyrie
According to the law, Celica? As an earl, Huddle could have up to five hundred private soldiers to defend the territory, but it was clear that there were far more than five hundred soldiers gathered in front of Sawyer. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Don't be so surprised, I didn't break the law, you see," Sirika smiled and pointed to the two phalanxes at the front, "These five hundred people are my army, and the rest are just temporary 'people'." ”
"Minfu ......"
Sawyer looked at the group of 'people's husbands' in front of him, and couldn't help but pout, but he couldn't say anything, because these people were indeed 'people's husbands' before, and the moment the war horn sounded, all the farmers and blacksmiths rushed back to their homes, put on the leather armor that they maintained every day, carried the weapons that were still sharp, and even the vendors selling fruits and vegetables turned out a piece of equipment from under the cart, and the one who led the way for Sawyer before. The butler', too, had already put on a cast steel armor, straddled the horse draped in chain mail, and stopped behind Sirika.
"Awesome, awesome!"
In the end, there was only the word "powerful" left in Soya's mouth, which was full of admiration, what does it mean that all the people are soldiers? That's it!
In just twenty minutes, everyone in the entire manor, except for women and children, stood on the school field in full gear, and its speed, discipline, and even the momentum of the interconnection made Sawyer feel a sense of enthusiasm, eager to pick up the longbow and join their team.
"Let's go!"
Cerica also changed into a women's gilt steel armor, straddling her war horse with a spear held high, the midday sun gave her a golden glow, and her blonde hair was as burning and shining as a Valkyrie.
The army marched out, there were no orders, no slogans, and even the sound of footsteps was exactly the same, but a silent momentum was brewing in them, and when this momentum broke out completely, it would surely turn into an invincible force!
On the way, through talking to Celia, Sawyer also learned about the structure of this army, and there were only five hundred 'regular troops' who followed Celia to the western guard tower, divided into ten squadrons, and each two squadrons formed a hundred-man team, of which three hundred-man teams were melee troops, equipped with one-handed weapons and half-body shields, and equipped with six javelins, and two hundred-man teams were archers, with thirty arrows, but also equipped with a long sword for self-defense.
The strength of the soldiers in the army can be compared to the elite soldiers of the empire, that is, the level of intermediate professionals, this phenomenon is very abnormal in Sawyer's opinion, an intermediate professional, even if he goes to be a mercenary, is qualified to lead a small mercenary group, and even if it is the Storm Cloak force, there are only about 3,000 people who have reached the level of elite troops, and only more than 1,000 belong to Ulfrik, and when Ulfrik lent Sawyer a hundred Storm Blade archers, they had to hesitate for a long time before making up their minds.
The storm cloak is so miserable, not to mention the snow, as far as Sawyer knows, the lord's guard stationed in the Genting District is only five hundred people, and other fortresses and watchtowers may have a small number of elite troops, but the number is definitely not more than three hundred.
In other words, in terms of the number of elite troops alone, Sirika is no less than the lord of the first realm!
When he was secretly shocked, Sawyer couldn't help but look at the twenty riders around Celica, these people were not regular knights, at most they could be regarded as infantry cavalry, but the aura on their bodies was terrifying, there was no doubt that these people were all high-level professionals, and they were also high-level professionals who had been promoted for a long time!
Sirika actually has an ace army!
For the lord, the trump card force is a symbol of strength, and most of the time it is used as a deterrent force, each territory has a trump card force placed on the bright side, but the number is extremely rare, generally only the number of a squadron, not necessarily the full size of fifty people.
Of course, there will still be some hole cards hidden in private, for example, the Snow Man Collar has organized a Snow Man Guardian Army of more than 100 people with a lot of money with trade taxes, and the number of 'Storm Sons' in the Storm Cloak is also between 15 and 200, Ma Wen? Black Thorn relies on the huge profits brought by Black Thorn Mead, and also has an ace mercenary army of up to fifty people, which is also the reason why she can secretly control the entire Rift City.
The most important thing is that there are obviously more than twenty ace troops under Sirika! There were fifty people I saw on the school grounds just now, and I only brought these people because Celica felt that even if there was any accident, twenty people would be enough to deal with it!
On the way to the western guard tower with the troops, Sirika, Sawa and others unexpectedly met a few acquaintances.
"Philina? Why are you here?! ”
Sawyer looked at the four people who came from Xueman in surprise, and before Filina could speak, a black cat burst out from behind Filina, and jumped into Sawyer's arms with a slight relay on Filina's shoulder.
"You brought the doctor with you?"
"Didn't you say last night that something might happen to the western sentry tower, after you left today, Ah Ye came to our house, and as soon as we discussed, we simply went to the sentry tower."
Firina explained in a whisper, her face still flushed when she said 'our family'.
Sawa looked helplessly at the four people in front of him, Firina in steel armor, Rick in a short cane, and Ah Ye in leather armor and a battle axe, obviously ready for battle, and the last guy wrapped in a black robe......
"Istark?! You're in Snowy City too?! Damn, aren't you afraid of being recognized and killed? ”
"Click-click-......" (Don't worry, I have a bit of research on illusion as well.) )
Hearing Isdaq's explanation, Sawyer could only cover his face and admire, and at this time, Celica, who saw Sawyer stopping, also rushed over.
"Sawyer, why...... Oh, your little girlfriend? ”
Celica rushed over with an annoyed face, obviously very unhappy with Sawya's 'unruly' guy, but when she saw the red-faced Philina suddenly, she suddenly laughed, and glanced back and forth between Sawa and Filina with a smile on her face, so ashamed that Filina almost buried her head in her chest.
"I said, Lord Countess, can we stop joking yet," Sawyer stood in front of Filina with a helpless expression, "A few of my friends, I also heard it when I was helping Nodia analyze it last night, so I want to go to the Western Guard Tower to help." ”
"Although the strength is a little weaker, it is rare to have this heart," Sirika nodded, her eyes suddenly fixed on Rick and Istak, "Lord Sawyer, can you be sure that they are reliable?" ”
"Of course, Count Hurdle."
After hearing Sirika's very formal salutation, Sawyer nodded solemnly.
"Well, you've probably heard of it, and as for this ......," Sawyer pointed at Rick and then turned his gaze back to Istak, a little unsure of how to speak, "Anyway, you should think of him as a mage of Winterhold." ”
"Vincennes's? That's fine, as for this mage of Winterhold...... Forget it, you two try not to make a move, in case you can't hold it anymore. ”
"No problem."
Rick answered, and Estak nodded in his hood.
Celica called four riders over, and the two of them shared a horse, and the two extra horses were Ah Ye's own, and Rick and Istark shared a horse, as for Philina? He was already held in front of Sawyer.
The addition of Filina and the others did not slow down the speed of the team, and as evening approached, the soldiers running at the front could already see the outline of the western watchtower, and of course, at the same time, they heard the shouts of killing in the sky!
"A queue! Javelin ready! Second and third teams, ready to rush! ”
Silika grabbed the reins and turned her horse's head around, and ran around the hundredth group, and the twenty riders quickly dispersed, and her will was perfectly transmitted to the ears of every soldier.
The 100th team running at the forefront of the march maintained its marching speed while quickly spreading out to both sides, and in just half a minute, it changed from a vertical marching formation to a horizontal formation with a thickness of only two rows.
The soldiers carried shields in their left hands and drew a javelin from behind their backs with their right hand, and at this time, the enemy was not yet in sight.
"Ten steps ahead!"
Sirika ran behind the column and shouted the next command.
Although the slightly sloping slope blocked the enemy's figure, there was not a trace of hesitation on the soldiers' faces, and everyone raised their spears in their right hands, and the steps under their feet became faster and faster.
Step 7, Step 8, Step 9......
Step 10!
All the warriors took the last step at the same time, and the enemy's figure happened to emerge from the horizon, and the soldiers threw the javelins in their hands forward, and in an instant, fifty silver-white javelins pierced the sky like a white practice!
However, this is not the end, the soldiers in the second row are still moving forward!
Eleven steps, twelve steps!
The second row of soldiers suddenly crossed over the robe that had finished throwing, and threw the javelins in their hands in unison, while the first wave of javelins was still in the air!
Two rows of javelins were like two white waves, rushing into the unconscious enemy formation one after another, and in the next second, blood bloomed, and dozens of robbers were nailed to the ground, wailing all over the field for a while!
"Damn! There is an ambush! ”
The bandit leader in charge of the command of the East Gate roared angrily, but just as he turned around to meet the battle, another clear voice suddenly came into his ears.
"Charge!"
The group of soldiers that shocked him retreated to both sides like a tide, and before he could change his mind, the figure of the female knight suddenly jumped out from behind the horizon, the golden armor and steel spear reflected the blood-golden afterglow, and the long golden hair flying behind him dazzled the eyes of the bandit leader, he squinted slightly, and in the next second, blood-colored flowers bloomed on his chest......
"Charge!!"
The Valkyrie swung her spear and stood at the front of the enemy, and the neighing of her horses had already rushed into the enemy line, and just as the enemy was about to besiege her, another knight leaped out of the horizon of the slope, followed by the second and third places......
Twenty-two sudden knights were like sharp knives, following behind the Valkyrie and instantly broke the loose line, and just when the enemy troops on both wings had just reacted and were still hesitating to rescue, the sky was roaring again, and a javelin fell from the sky, and the ensuing screams instantly shattered the courage of the survivors.
"Run!"
I don't know who was the first to shout, and the small sound spread quickly in the enemy formation like a plague, and the robbers of the brigade retreated to both sides like a tide, and the few enemies who still had the heart to fight back were also mixed in this torrent, and reluctantly retreated into the distance.
East Gate, the enemy formation has been broken!
