Several contractors discussed it, and some felt that there was no need to risk it with a strong reinforcement. Xiao Yan didn't force it, but just discussed it alone with the bishops, travelers and others he was familiar with.

In the previous battle, several people cooperated to kill several bandit leaders, all of whom reaped great benefits, and everyone was clear-headed and organized, knowing that in this hellish space, the difficulty of the task was mostly to continue to increase, and if you don't take advantage of the low difficulty to make more gains, it is estimated that the future will be sad.

After the plan was decided, everyone immediately packed up, purchased some food and clothing, and set off with the bandit coalition army. The Viscount's coalition was active, and after paying tribute to the second son of the slain baron, they hurriedly set out.

Chaos Knight Lance is also a notorious villain in Turin, and he repeatedly brutalized nobles and slapped the king in the face, so he spent a huge amount of money to hunt down this fang. The coalition also knew that Lance had been hit hard this time, and there was not one out of ten in the army, and the powerful mountain monster was wiped out. If he is lucky enough to cut off his dog's head this time, fame and reward will fall from the sky.

It had taken two days for the horses to arrive on the way to reinforcements, and the infantry were exhausted. What's worse is that the aristocratic generals who lead the army have little experience in marching and fighting. In Middle-earth, where literacy rates are horrible and miserable, these country aristocrats don't have reliable bachelors to take care of logistics. Along the way, Xiao Yan and the others were already about to be tortured by this march, and the negligent enemy garrison was unprepared for battle, and there was no shortage of drinking water, military rations, cooking utensils and camp tents. At night, the exhausted coalition troops lay on the ground without digging a trench, and it took two hours for dinner to barely allow everyone to drink a mouthful of porridge and nibble on a carrot.

Because he was really worried about the safety of the wilderness, Xiao Yan mobilized the contractors to find a high ground nearby to rest alone, so as not to be in a nest when the coalition forces were attacked.

All the contractors accepted the follow-up mission, and most of the girls stayed in the barony, and Galadia was quite confident in her own skills, so she joined the team as soon as she could, but Sonia insisted that her ability was very useful, so it was best to follow along for a long time. Their tall stature and peugeot appearance caused a lot of trouble, and five knights came to talk to them and invited them to their tents to rest, and some of the bad habits of the farmers and soldiers were also frequently harassed, until Xiao Yan showed his battle axe and left.

The tent that Xiao Yan brought was given to the girls to use, and he found a flat grass outside the tent to lie down. The soft grass is also quite comfortable to lie on, and the evening breeze is refreshing, if it weren't for the experience of fighting all the way, Xiao Yan would have mistaken it for a holiday trip.

The night sky of Middle-earth was completely different from the original world, and Xiao Yan couldn't find the constellations he was familiar with. However, there is still a brilliant Milky Way running through the sky, which is breathtaking.

"Are you wondering if you'll ever be able to go home?" Galadia got out of the tent, looked around, and then ran to lie down not far from Xiao Yan, this burly team captain at least reassured her more than the other men, "According to the current performance of the space, we will be sent back as promised when this mission is over." ”

Xiao Yan turned his head and raised his eyebrows, "Do you know what happens if you set up a flag like this?" ”

"Hahaha!" Galadia laughed and slapped Xiao Yan's head. Sure enough, it is the appearance that determines the basic score, so that such a beautiful girl looks beautiful and elegant no matter what she does. Xiao Yan felt that the slap on his head was particularly intimate and subtle.

"But," Galadia laughed, thinking about it carefully, "our initial mission to hold the manor is evaluated as E-. The current follow-up mission difficulty E. If there are really these amazing knight lords according to the space, why has the difficulty risen instead? ”

"What do you think?" Xiao Yan asked. From the moment she entered the space, the girl showed unusual rationality and self-control, maintaining a weightless grace no matter how dangerous the situation, and acting with this scruffy coalition force with ease, without any embarrassing scenes.

"The level of development in this world, if magic aside, is only comparable to that of medieval Europe, and ordinary farmers can only survive on wheat porridge and turnips, and it is difficult to eat meat several times a year. Although they are a garrison, judging from this march, they are completely a rabble~ lack the most basic training and morale. ”

"Well, that's a good point. According to their social structure, if they were free from the constraints of a large army, it would not be easy for units other than knights to disperse without a rush. ”

"If the bandits occupy the danger, the knights dare not risk the attack. The battle will become very long. We only had 10 days in this world, and now 5 days have passed. It's hard to say whether the task will be completed before the expiration date. ”

Xiao Yan's face also became grim. Indeed, Space repeatedly emphasizes that this is a novice task, and the difficulty is extremely low, and if you can't get enough benefits in this task, how to spend the gradually difficult tasks after that is a big problem. What's more, Xiao Yan can also be regarded as a lot of income in this world, and the blood axe and steel tooth can be brought out of this world, so there is no need to look for small branches everywhere at the next start. The accessory "Troll's Fang" is a piece of magic equipment, and the combat power increase brought by the activation of the effect is extremely strong.

"Galadia~"

"What's wrong?"

"What do you think? Do bandits usually have meat to eat? ”

"Do you want to attack them at night? It's an idea. But we'll see if our allies have the organization. ”

……

The garrison spent a whole day and a half marching, and the next day, when dusk was approaching, the bandits' stronghold could be faintly seen.

The mountain where the bandits are entrenched is naturally quite steep, but it also leads to one or two ways out of the mountain. The coalition forces set up camp, this time under the supervision of the viscount, and dug a few deep trenches, and surrounded the road into the mountain like an iron bucket. In this way, although it is still possible for the bandits to escape by touching the forest path, it is impossible to move with a large army.

Lance, the leader of the bandits, was also sure that the coalition army was not capable of attacking the mountain, and he had no intention of abandoning his inheritance and escaping. After the previous battle, there was not one out of a thousand bandits, and less than 50 foot soldiers fled back with Lance, and the mountain monsters and baggage were all lost. There were still 100 defenders in the old camp, and there was plenty of food and weapons. Relying on the defense of the steep mountain roads, he believed that it would not be a problem to withdraw the troops from the time of attrition with the coalition forces.

At dusk, Lance looked at the coalition camp below the hill with a flask, carefully examined the banners of each family, and found that at least one viscount and two barons were present, and according to the usual estimate of their knights, at least 15 knights and 300 infantrymen. Lance watched for a while, his face was also very solemn, and he immediately ordered to double the deployment of troops on the mountain road, and ambushed a total of 80 bandits on the mountain road.

On the second day of encampment, 8 knights attacked the hill on foot with 50 infantry as the vanguard. The mountain road was narrow and crooked, and most of the coalition forces could not be used, so they could only rely on knights in full armor to charge as arrows.

Xiao Yan decided to check the situation first, so he let the bishop, the traveler and Sonia stay in the camp for the time being, and he and Galadia, who could provide long-range firepower, followed the coalition forces to climb the mountain and test it. The two of them were also cunning enough to stay a little further down the line.

The knights walked along the mountain path for a short time and found the remnants of the bandits hiding behind the trees, occasionally shooting bows and arrows. The knights were covered in chain armor, and some macho men even wore double layers of heavy armor, and they didn't care if they inserted a dozen arrows. When he was really shot like a hedgehog, he swept it with his sword, and the broken arrows fell to the ground one after another, and it was not in the way to keep the arrow stuck in the armor. The leading knight has black armor and black armor, and his physique and weapon size are larger than the other knights.

Galadia's heart moved, and she found that she could identify the data of these knights, so she passed it on to Xiao Yan through the seal.

"Black Knight: Volg (Elite). Race: Human, Attributes: Strength 23, Agility 7, Stamina 17, Intelligence 2, Spirit 2, Charisma 2.

Special Ability: Knight Vassal LV1. Adds 300 additional health. ”

This Volger is also the best among the many allied knights, and the rest of the people are generally only about 70% of his attributes. Xiao Yan was also curious, so he asked the militia around him.

The militia saw that Xiao Yan was strong and tall, holding a double axe and wearing armor, although there was no noble crest, but these people at the bottom of Middle-earth still had the wisdom to survive, and only regarded Xiao Yan as a knight of a big family. Judging from Xiao Yan's appearance, he was promoted to knight by the lords, and it was definitely not something that the militia dared to offend, and several militiamen were quite flattering at the moment.

"Lord Volg is a knight directly under the Viscount, and he has won the championship of the martial arts competition several times."

"The other knight lords are also great figures, but Lord Walg has the most combat experience, and he also participated in the battle to encircle and suppress the half-orcs the year before last."

"I heard that after encircling and suppressing the Chaos Knight this time, Lord Volg will be rewarded with his own knight's manor by Lord Viscount!"

Obtaining a knight's manor is one of the highest ideals of a knight, and several other ideals include saving and overthrowing princesses, slaughtering dragons, etc. Considering that it is really difficult to accomplish the other supreme ideals, and the number of princesses and dragons is obviously not enough for knights, so the knight's manor can be said to be the highest affirmation of the knight's life achievements.

In Middle-earth, having your own manor not only means that you no longer have to live under the eaves of the lord, you don't have to shrink your hands and feet from the maids, and you can let go of your stomach when you eat, but it also means that the villagers must follow them to fight, and the output of the manor can also afford to raise war horses.

As in modern society, men's luxury cars can show their wealth and status and attract women's attention; In Middle-earth, a war horse is not an inferior horse ridden by ordinary people, only true nobles are qualified to have it. The difference is even more pronounced than the difference between a Volkswagen economy sedan and a Porsche sports car.

The Volger knight was leading the assault with a double heavy shield of fine iron and cowhide, and from time to time cold arrows and throwing spears were flying on his shield with a clanging sound, and occasionally some of the cowhide that could be shot into the outermost layer were embedded in the shield, and most of the bows and arrows were easily bounced away by the second layer of fine iron after shooting through the cowhide.

"I'll have to change the cowhide again when I go back this time," the black-armored knight felt a pain in his flesh at the thought of the cost of maintenance. Viscount Sindra is not a generous lord, and the knights themselves have to bear the cost of replacing and repairing weapons that are broken in each battle, and sometimes the maintenance fee of the battle reward face can be reimbursed, and the knights are also quite embarrassed.

"Fortunately, the Guilty Knight of this crusade has almost lost all its casualties. As long as he can take his head, the knight's manor will naturally be fine, and the royal gold reward should be a lot. Hmph, then you don't need to look at the bad old man's face of Sindra, the maid under him is not bad, with big breasts and big ass, and this bitch shouted so cool the last time he played in the cellar. When the reward is down, take her away. Looking at her sting, Lord Viscount's toothpick should not be able to stand it usually. ”

The Volg knight just walked forward with his shield on his shoulder, thinking wildly. It can't be said that he is not focused enough, on this battlefield he is covered with double chain mail, with a heavy iron helmet on his head, leaving only a pair of small eyes to observe the situation. Not to mention, you have to raise a double-layer tower shield from time to time to protect it. Volg's task was to use his rough skin to open the way in front, and as for what was going on around him, that was something that the knights and archers behind had to care about, and he didn't have a vision to care about.

Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and ran down his armor to his armpits and lower abdomen, and it was extremely uncomfortable. The black-armored knight was tempted to throw his helmet to the ground and drink a leather bag of liquor to rest. But this will be cold arrows flying around, and he doesn't have the guts.

Suddenly, the pressure in front of you drops suddenly. Oh! It turned out that at the bend of the mountain road, a huge rock wall bent the road to the right by 90 degrees, and the sneak attack bandits found that there was no way to retreat and turned around and ran. Those who ran slowly, twisted their feet, were overtaken by the knights who came up from behind, and the spears poked through the heart. Walg threw the shield at the tower as well, grabbing a mace from his waist and slamming it at a bandit who had collapsed to the ground.

"Spare me......" The bandit raised his arm in panic to block it, and his arm and head were smashed into a mess of mud. A few drops of warm blood splattered into the cracks of Volger's mask.

"Hahaha! Readily! These bandits don't look like they're skilled, and it seems that the bandits in the old camp are almost dead. As long as you can climb up the mountain early and take Lance's dog's head, Lao Tzu won't have to suffer from this bird's anger! Despite the inconveniences of armor, Walg enjoyed the thrill of killing, and he liked to use a mace to open people's heads with a pop like a watermelon.
