"There are no natural warriors, only strict training and iron discipline can be made, I have always believed that a few well-trained soldiers are better than the majority of the rabble, I'm sorry, for the sake of peace I can only pick up the sword and choose war!"

- Leo's Diary

"In war, money is perhaps far more important than anything else...", Leo muttered in a voice that no one could hear, at this moment he was extremely glad that the system existed, the terrifying amount of money allowed him not to be caught off guard when he encountered a challenge, it was the gold coins that were like flowing steel, and in a relatively short period of time, he forged an army armed to the teeth.

After strengthening his determination to exchange war for peace, Leo did not delay, first took out all the swan knight armor to help Baron Leicester's knights change their clothes, and spent two days to unify the champion swordsman and the storm wings armed, at the same time, after Leo paid a lot of money as a price, the blacksmith shop in Stormwind City also nervously produced 50 two-handed swords of better quality, and used them to replace the original crude weapons of the highland swordsmen.

And the nearly three months of training has also made the two recruits qualitatively improved, compared to other recruits in this era who rarely train for more than 10 days, in terms of discipline, physique and combat ability, the champion swordsman and the stormwing have a crushing gap, but before participating in the real war, Leo still has some concerns about them.

The battlefield is always the best catalyst for recruits, I believe that with this experience, the two teams will inevitably be able to leave a real veteran seed, because the logistics do not need to be worried, after everything is ready, Leo took the baron to belong to the official expedition after a simple oath, Leo carries logistics and food supplies, only the Knights of Punishment is clear, as for the baron and other soldiers? Leo didn't have to worry about their feelings, and in the Middle Ages, when soldering iron polygraphs were still used, the right amount of mystery would have made Leo more adored.

After the Duke of Orlando's "betrayal" was furious by Baron Leicester's "betrayal", he also put the first step of the war on the barony, which could not only send a message to the other nobles to kill chickens and monkeys, but also because the barony was still the only route to the northernmost city of Stormwind.

After the news from all sides was synthesized and confirmed to be true or false (of course, there were few false reports and pre-war fog creation techniques in this era), Leo, who did not want the flames of war to burn in his developing territory, was overjoyed, and immediately decided to lead his troops to the vicinity of the Barony, and lined up on a plain 5 kilometers south of Nuremberg, waiting for the arrival of the Duke's army......

In the plain not far from the feet, almost all the armed forces belonging to Stormwind City are clearly divided into three phalanxes, and the outermost is still Leo's most trusted lineage, the 'Punishment Knights', under the leadership of the three captains of Finn, the spears are lined with spears, the armor is distinct, and the black cloak is shaking in the breeze, and the entire phalanx has no sound, and even the unicorn under the crotch is not moving, with a strong aura of solemnity in the silence.

Next to the Punishment Knights, the position is slightly ahead of the champion swordsman named by Leo himself, under the intervention of Leo himself, the remaining 120 champion swordsmen after the elimination are neatly arranged into an infantry phalanx with an interval of 3 meters apart in each row, and the 20 champion swordsmen in each row are divided into 6 columns, the front row and the soldiers on both sides of each column are the most burly people among them, the shield that has not had time to be treated on the surface, the primary color of stainless steel and silver white shines in the sunlight with a dazzling reflection.

The Storm Wings are deployed on the mountainside about 10 paces behind the two troops, and the improved Hunting Crossbow, which barely reaches a range of 50 paces, will serve as the only long-range aid to Leo's army in the hands of these 50 crossbowmen.

As for Edward's Highland Swordsmen, these loyal mercenaries were hidden by Leo in a small grove on the side of the battlefield, yes, yes, the absolute disadvantage in strength made Leo not ready to use all his strength to face the duke in the front from the beginning, in the face of nearly 5 times the enemy, even the punishment knight will feel fatigued in the fight, Leo is unwilling to use the little capital in his hand to fight a crushing victory, and the highland swordsman battalion that is not known to the enemy for the time being is the strange soldier hidden in the hands of Leo.

For the highland swordsman Leo knows very well, if his soldiers in the frontal battlefield withstand the impact of the enemy knights in the first wave of impact, then the highland swordsman who suddenly enters from the side will become a nightmare for all the knights who have lost their speed, if you really want to describe it, they are like the strange swords of the medieval West.

In addition to the army of Stormwind, the troops of Baron Leicester, Leo's only ally at present, are somewhat chaotic, of course, this is also the norm of the aristocratic army in the Middle Ages, more than 200 infantry with weapons and armor are barely gathered into a phalanx, following the side of the champion swordsman, but the archers brought by the baron to a team of 20 people gave Leo a big surprise, and the archers who were arranged on the top of the mountain can make a certain supplement to the troops that lack long-range.

However, the quality of the 20 new swan knights is very satisfying, these knights who are neatly dressed and wearing white swan cloaks on a blue background, under the personal leadership of Andrew, who is also equipped, also discharged a miniature wedge formation, because there is no time to rush to make the cavalry guns, they can only follow the punishment knights, and engage in brutal hand-to-hand combat after the first wave of hedging.

In addition to the temporary appointment of a Punishment Knight to lead 20 knights, plus 30 champion swordsmen to stay in Stormwind City, all the cards that can be played in Leo's hands have been placed on the table, 80 Punishment Knights, 120 Champion Swordsmen, 50 Storm Wings, 50 Highland Swordsmen, plus 200 infantry and 20 Swan Knights under the Baron, a total of more than 500 troops, they will face more than 2,000 soldiers from the Duke and more than a dozen northern lords, big and small, and more than 200 knights and servants.

The people on the hillside seemed to be infected by the solemn atmosphere below, and no one spoke for a long time, and after a while, only the baron rode forward a few steps, and whispered beside Leo, "Dear brother, I still can't understand your decision not to defend Nuremberg and fight here in the field, although my castle is not as tall and strong as your Stormwind City, and it also lacks the equipment to defend the city, but after all, the Duke's army is far superior to us, and with a wall as a support, the situation is somewhat better, right?" ”

Looking at Baron Leicester, who had been struggling with this issue for several days, Leo had no choice but to give him a thorough explanation, otherwise in the upcoming war, an undetermined ally would be a hidden danger that Leo tried his best to avoid.

After thinking for a moment, Leo tilted his head and looked at the baron, "What do you think is our advantage over the Duke?" Dear brother. Sighing, Leo didn't wait for an answer, and continued, "It's not your castle in danger, it's not even my Stormwind City, it's not our superior armor and weapons to the enemy, it's not our abundant supply ......"

"What you say is very important for the war, and if it weren't for that, I can't imagine what advantage we would have?" The baron was bewildered by Leo's series of words.

The horse galloped forward a few steps, and the long sword in Leo's hand pointed at the knights below, "It's them, they are our only advantage, I know you must have deep doubts about this, but I am here to assure you that in the next war, you will see the true strength of the Knights of Punishment, as long as you don't encounter a very disparity in strength, I believe that my knights alone will be able to defeat several times or even ten times the enemy, I implore you, my brother, to keep your doubts for the time being, in the battle in the near future, You'll be convinced of everything I say. ”

No one will know better than Leo the strength of this strengthened n-fold punishment knights, not to mention the combat power of knights, even the unicorn under the crotch has a collision attribute of up to 80, take such an army to give up the mount to defend the city, Leo is not so stupid, plus other well-trained soldiers, Leo suddenly remembered a joke from a riding friend in his previous life, "What do you think the Middle Ages are?" Horse knights, underground swordsmen, these two classes are enough to represent an era. ”

Thinking of this, Leo looked ahead with great determination, and countless banners representing various nobles and troops slowly appeared from the other end of the horizon, it was the noble alliance from the Duke of White Moon, and they had finally arrived at this land of doomed failure.

"Victory~~~~!"

The paladin's sword in his hand pointed high and slanted ahead, and Leo used all his strength to let out his first cry on the road to power and glory on this land......
