Chapter Seventy-Two: Gorgeous Armed Civilians?

Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Waiting for Trinas to come from the Chinese army, Leo didn't stop and didn't do anything, after all, after the scout's engagement, the other party must have discovered their existence, even if the location is not yet determined, but if such a large army is deliberately searched by the other party, the so-called hiding is simply a joke

After conveying the order to El of the Chinese army, Finn left Keith by Leo's side, and the Grand Master of Punishment led Anthony to command the front army to begin to change formations, and the champion swordsman embedded in the original position as the mainstay of the heavy infantry began to line up, and the slender queue gradually changed into a thick phalanx during the movement

Stormwings are a little different, they have distanced themselves from the relatively closely connected marching formations before, and although they also have good hand-to-hand combat skills as support troops, they are not in the middle of a crisis

The Knights of Punishment and the Knights of the Dawn had a very different response after spreading their wings separately, as the Heavy Knights reformed a sharp wedge formation with unimaginable efficiency, and began to finally check the gaps between weapons and armor under the orders of the direct officers, in between, there was no noise and confusion, and even the expressions and eyes of the knights were calm and could not see any change, and war seemed to have become instinctive for them......

The Noldor Dawn Knights led by Aldalian were a little different, their formation was a little loose and disorderly, but with the lightness and agility of the elven warhorses and the range far beyond that of human archers, the elves unwittingly enveloped everyone in their range of assistance, and as the battle progressed, they could easily adjust to support or rescue as the situation developed

Watching the orders being conveyed quickly and concisely and implemented, Leo nodded with satisfaction, even if he had experienced it many times, he was still proud and proud of the army in front of him that he had almost single-handedly created

Behind him, two flags representing the Duchy and representing the coat of arms of the Leo family were raised high by the Guards, and at the same time, battle flags representing the service, representing faith and honor, were erected in every unit that had completed its combat readiness!

At the same time, the Chinese army and the rear army, which were separated by several miles, also began to prepare for the battle, and while the craftsmen's baggage was shifted backwards, the tight formations began to disperse in an orderly manner, and the knights who belonged to the nobility began to wear heavy armor with the help of servants and attendants, and in order to prevent accidents, some of the weapons in reserve were distributed to the people for self-defense

In this hectic but methodical atmosphere, Trinas rushed to Leo's side with Paul, and after a brief greeting and salute, the countess spoke in a tone of undisguised admiration

"Let me express my sincerest admiration for you here, Your Highness, you have an efficient and terrible and disciplined army, I have never seen in my life that any other army can do this, not even the lowest pikemen and civilians do not show much panic in the face of war, and I seem to be witnessing the birth of a powerful king beyond your kindness!"

Nodding and smiling politely, Leo quickly entered the groove and asked

"You should also know about the situation, the army not far from us on the other side is from the southern Duke of Landon and his men, to be honest ma'am, we didn't expect this situation at all, we didn't expect this situation at all, we didn't think that before fighting with the demons, in the middle of the empire, we had to fight with the enemy who was also human, you know, due to the distance and transportation, the only thing I know about the south is the battle with the female knights when I fought against the coalition army, but just by virtue of these, My officers and I have no way of judging the true strength of the army in front of us......"

Nodding subconsciously, after Leo finished speaking, Trinas suddenly asked

"Can't you try to get around, if we avoid it, we may not take the initiative to fight according to the size of the enemy, I thought the imperial capital needs us more now, and Your Highness, I know that Lan Dun that guy, he is not so much a nobleman as a calculating businessman, the lucky pirate who should be cursed!"

Shaking his head helplessly, Leo pointed around with his horsewhip

"In this terrain of the Central Territory, I can't risk having a large number of hostile intentions behind me, even if it is tens of thousands of sheep, if we attack from behind when we are at war with the demons, it will cause a lot of distress and crisis, this is a war that humans cannot afford to lose, and any budding crisis must be stifled at the initial stage!"

Rolling his eyes a few times, the clever countess soon understood Leo's concern, leaned over and touched the soft mane of the white mount lovingly, and Trinas thought carefully for a while before he was not sure of his words

"So, if you've made your final decision, I must have been summoned to ask for information about that army, Your Highness?"

After expressing his affirmation with a slight forehead, Leo looked at Trinas in front of him with a funny expression that suddenly appeared, and even Fein and the others, who had arranged for his subordinates to surround him, were a little inexplicable

Fortunately, after laughing a few times, the countess coughed lightly and began to talk about the issues that several people were most concerned about, but her first words made Leo and the others deeply thundered......

"There's information about that...... Giggles, before talking about them I prefer to call them armed civilians rather than the army! ”

If it weren't for the other party's expression after laughing was quite serious, Leo really couldn't help but complain and interrupt, such a postmodern word God knows how this woman came up with it

"Perhaps you don't know much about these things in the far north, the southern region of the empire due to historical traditions and location, from the commoners to the nobles, seem to be a bit mercenary, they do not have the tradition of inner pride in the middle, nor are they like the tenacity of the people in the west, and they cannot compare with the hard-working spirit of the people of the north who survive in a harsh environment, forgetting their righteousness and calculating, and enjoying the marrow of these people who have penetrated into all strata of the south......"

Fingers drew the outline of a gold coin in the air, and Trinas continued with a conflicting emotion

"In this atmosphere, the most suitable and best thing for the people of the Southern Territory is commercial and political speculation, and it has developed to the point where today, the whole region has appeared in the phenomenon of the distortion of the territory of the joint governance of wealthy merchants and nobles, which is why the Southern Territory has sought political and economic independence from a few decades ago, but has never put it into action, and the characteristics of merchants make everyone too concerned about the cost and the risk, so as to lose the courage to really act!"

Hearing this, Keith couldn't help but interject beside him

"I don't mean to offend the beautiful lady, but this time the so-called duke's decision was quite decisive, and he didn't even feel any hesitation in the appalling matter of betraying the human camp."

The sarcastic tone was undisguised, which embarrassed Trinas a little, but soon the countess adjusted her mood, smiled apologetically, and explained softly with her fingers unconsciously around the green silk of her sideburns

"Lord Keys, you know that I am against their approach, but at the root of it, I personally think there are two reasons for Lan Dun's choice, the first is the speculative nature of the merchants I talked about above, they think that this is a war that cannot be won by relying on the Empire, and they think that it is more advantageous to put their chips on the side of the demons with a strong desire to stand on their own, and the other thing is ......"

After a pause, Trinath looked at Keith with a wry smile

"Another reason is that in the last war that His Highness led you against the Empire and the Church, the Knights of Punishment humiliated the female knights from the south too much, which may be one aspect of Lan Dun's ruthless determination, he was born as a pirate and had an extremely serious revenge mentality......"

Pointing at himself and Fain in astonishment, Keith asked inexplicably

"The female tour group that pretended to be vulnerable to the Knights of the Rose? What does this have to do with Lan Dun? Could it be the old man's huge harem? ”

Glaring fiercely at the open-mouthed Keys, Finn frowned and spoke

"The important people in it are Lan Dun's relatives, right? Madam"

Brushing her hair, the countess nodded helplessly

"Yes, the leader of the knights at that time was Lan Dun's favorite little daughter, and all the women who made up this funny knight order came from the major families in the south, and you killed them mercilessly, of course, I don't care about the psychological shadow of that arrogant and stupid little girl, but Lan Dun used this to guide most of the nobles to stand in the same boat with him......"

"Damn it!"

After understanding what happened, even Leo couldn't help but complain, if he knew that there was such a thing today, he would definitely stop Fein from leading people to kill those girls, and at least half of it would be much easier to worry than now

Rubbing his face, Leo looked at the thoughtful crowd and coughed a few times

"Well, the past is over, let's get back to business, Lady Count, then according to you, the army on the other side doesn't deserve our too much attention, right?"

"That's right, Your Highness, you only need to worry about the knight order directly under Duke Lan Dun, the scale of the Thorn Knights named after the Lan Dun family coat of arms exceeds a thousand people, and their weapons, armor, and mounts are specially customized at a huge cost, it is said that the cost of each knight can form a squadron of hoplites, the Thorn Knights are the biggest hole card that Lan Dun can maintain the actual rule, and it is also the most criminal butcher knife to clean dissidents!"

Trinath spoke of the Order with an undisguised disgust on her face, apparently in the old days this army was not so likeable

"Butcher's knife? A noble knight? ”

Snorting disdainfully, Keith said to Leo with a cruel smile

"The Knights of Punishment will be happy to solve this trouble for you, Your Highness, and we are all happy to see that arrogant duke tremble in front of you after losing everything!"

Shrugging her shoulders, Trinas didn't pay attention to the interruption, and the smile reappeared on her face

"Other than that, the other legionnaires don't have to worry, their combat effectiveness will definitely not be your opponent, oh, only one thing, if you look at the perfection of the equipment alone, they do a good job, you must know that in addition to cowardice and cunning, the last thing they lack is gold coins......"
