Act111 Forward Line I.

These things are not in the minority.

In fact, in the liege's domain, with the exception of a few major towns that regulate open defecation by livestock, most of the other places have a laissez-faire attitude-

Gross walked along the road and walked some distance, already having a rough idea in his mind.

This is a cavalry force of more than 100 people.

Linked to the scene after the forest fire in front of him, he could almost confirm a fact-

Although the time of the event was much earlier than the memory in the game in his previous life, he didn't mind making the worst guess at this time.

"Chaos of Ambition", scenes in the plot are happening in front of you.

Returning to the makeshift camp, he explained a few things to Oliver and Cameron, and then approached Miss Mage, from whom he borrowed the Secret Feather -

This fantasy-level alchemy item is actually very versatile, and Gross, who had learned how to use it from this girl a few days ago, had learned how to use it.

……

After spending the night in the city, Sask left Ensada early the next morning, accompanied by the "Three Horsemen of Morin" under the command of the Earl—

The "Firmament Winds" mercenary group was also split in two, with the main force led by Sask, while the rest of the centaurs were handed over to Melville the Lich and Fanny the Vampire Lady.

This is only a preliminary arrangement.

After returning from the city lord's palace in Ensada, Sask began to arrange his tactics. Obviously, there is a clear gap in the strength of Tarun and Ensada at the moment, and it is not wise to rashly launch a frontal battle-

And the Earl meant only to teach those damned enemies a profound lesson.

The experience in his memory led Sask to make a rather clever plan, and from that moment on, Ensada reduced its forces to zero and launched an attack on the Talon region-

The target is not the lumberyards and mines that provide resources, but the villages and small towns within the territory, which can effectively combat the taxes of the territory and the people who are the foundation of the territory.

Such an arrangement would not only create panic, but also contain the military power of the Talen side.

Sask knew that as a lord, the Count of Savaren Wolf in the fortress of Tarun would never sit idly by and watch his people fall into the flames of war, so that at least until their actions failed or retreated, at least they could be assured that the knights of Tarun would not have the energy to attack Ensada.

Contain, pull, use information asymmetry and mobility to find and capture fighters, little by little to wear down the enemy's strength.

Such is the principle of Sask's tactics.

The cavalry of the "Sky Wind" mercenary group rode slowly on the wide streets of Ensada City, flanked by evenly spaced dwarf pines in flower beds, horses' hooves trampled over blue-gray stone bricks, and the uniform movements and silent atmosphere showed that this was an extremely well-organized army-

The eyes of passers-by couldn't help but be attracted, these days, the city has been filled with the smell of wind and rain, they have long known that Tarun and Karthas are ready to wage war against this territory.

However, no matter what, life has to go on day by day.

In the midst of the market, in the taverns, around the warm fires, the townspeople, mercenaries, peddlers, merchants, etc., spoke more than once about these things—

There is a common belief among them that this is a pure aristocratic war, and therefore the only people who really affect it are the nobles and knights who are high up, plus a bunch of hateful soldiers.

Yes, ruffians.

Although Ensada's hoplite regiment is still part of the Northland Legion, and they are still soldiers in terms of status, their actions have long violated the solemn oath they took when they put on the gray uniform, stealing chickens and dogs, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and fighting...... These people have become a scourge in the city.

But in recent days, they have stopped a lot.

Unbeknownst to the civilians, this is due to the work of Rodriguez the "Flame Hand". After this powerful middle-aged knight entered the barracks, he immediately punished several arrogant and arrogant thorns-

Since the "Fog Pine War", the "Rock Legion" has been in a state of idleness for a long time, and the arrival of Rodriguez has put forward many strict requirements for these soldiers, which naturally provokes resistance.

The strength of soldiers, ordinary junior officers, was completely inadequate in front of a true knight of the awakening level, and when the cold blade of the sword fell on the shoulder, those thorns in the barracks finally compromised-

Rodriguez didn't kill anyone, but the strength he showed was enough to calm the scene.

That's enough.

The cavalry of the "Sky Wind" walked through this bustling street where people came and went, and after a while, the "Rock Legion" also walked slowly from the other end of this street, their clothes were still neat, they carried a one-meter-long war spear on their shoulders, and a saber was hung around their waists, but compared to the previous team, their spirits looked somewhat sluggish-

Rodriguez rode a tall war horse first, and he was joined by two other members of the "Three Horsemen of Morin", Matthew and Kenneth.

The three of them were silent all the way, until the entire team of more than three hundred people left the city of Ensada, and Matthew turned his head slightly on his horse, his tone slow but with a compassionate emotion:

"Rodriguez, are you sure you want these boys behind you to challenge the cavalry and knights of Tarun like this?"

Most of the knights of the three lords of the Northland know each other, although they belong to different lords, but they also know each other's details, after the "Fog Pine War", the military strength of the Ensada region is weak and makes these three knights sigh -

At this time, seeing that the Earl had barely gathered this bit of family foundation, if it weren't for the joining of that mercenary group, to be honest, they didn't have much confidence in winning this war.

The "Rock Legion" is no longer the "Rock Legion" of the past, they just glanced back slightly, and they have already found that in the team behind them, there is not even a high-level guy -

If it is placed in the period of the Fog Pine War a few years ago, such an average level of strength is not to mention the regular army of the kingdom, and even the private soldiers of some minor nobles are stronger than them, like them, the most likely, that is, the nature of cannon fodder.

Although the "Three Horsemen of Morin" are powerful, it is an unprecedented thing to lead such a group of weak chickens to fight.

"The commander is Mr. Sask, and I think he should have a proper arrangement."

Outside Ensada was a straight, flat trade road, with soft golden sunlight shining on his face and a breeze blowing through the sparse woods on either side of the road, perhaps to soothe the pessimism of his colleagues, Rodriguez spoke.
