Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Under the fierce battle flag, after Trinas summed up the quality of the soldiers in the southern leader in a disdainful tone, Leo clearly saw the disapproving expressions on the faces of some of his subordinates around him, thought about it, and turned his head to say to Fein, who was still calm

"Don't ignore every opponent, even civilians with crossbows can kill the noblest knights, inform Mirgan to lead the other knights to protect our flanks, the Chinese infantry to keep their strength slow, let's go and meet this legendary southern duke first......"

"Of course, my lord, follow your will!"

Deliberately approaching and speeding forward, two armies from the southernmost and northernmost parts of the empire met here for the first time, but the dramatic thing was that this time it was not because of the internal contradictions of mankind itself, nor because of the joint resistance to external humiliation, which has to be said to be a great irony in human history!

Unlike the southern army, which was a little flustered and noisy, the forward army led by Leo was temporarily smaller in number than the other party, but it was quiet and terrible in the confrontation, as if it was a volcano brewing and erupting

Relying on the banner language and a large number of junior officers accumulated and deliberately trained over the years, the army of the principality quickly spread out in formation, like the two wings of a giant bird, the storm wings stood at the forefront of the army in a parallel narrow formation, and the direct fire of the crossbow allowed them to carry out long-range strikes at the same time, but they could not be in a relatively safe position like archers, of course, there were no raised hills and hills in the battlefield dominated by the plains......

Behind the Storm Wings, the champion swordsman firmly occupied the center of the battlefield with a dense and heavy phalanx, the snow-bright long sword was already unsheathed, and the right hand was placed diagonally at his side, and the silver infantry shields were tightly connected to form a huge and formidable shield wall, but there was a straight passage at a distance between the formations, which allowed the crossbowmen to retreat after a few rounds of strikes, and the cooperation of many years allowed the two earliest troops to complete everything tacitly without commanding at all

As the arrows of the Leo army, the Knights of Punishment waited quietly in the position slightly behind the left flank, a perfect charge required sufficient distance, this aspect was especially important for the heavy knights, and occasionally several knights could be seen calming their mounts, most of them had already removed their spears from the unicorns, and the dense and terrifying field of spears was once again erected in the sky above the central area of the empire after two years

Unlike the seriousness of the other troops, Ardalian and his people of the Knights of the Dawn seemed very relaxed, maintaining a loose formation but still surrounding the Noldor elves in twos and threes, and from time to time there was a muffled laughter in the middle of the conversation, but if you looked closely, everyone's smile was deeply bloodthirsty and hideous, unlike the elves in Western stories, the Nodos were known for their brutality and warthirst in Pande, and war was all they had in life, except for the demanding pursuit of art

"Poof!"

Unable to help but sneer, Leo, who was at the back of the army, looked at the noisy and chaotic enemy opposite, and finally let go of the last trace of worry, he flicked his horsewhip and looked at Trinas, who had a complicated face beside him

"Madam Earl, I now find that you have some reservations about what you have said before, this is ...... This is the most ridiculous army I've ever seen, no, they're not even as good as the simply trained reserve soldiers of Stormwind, I can't imagine it, if it weren't for the fact that I had reserved a trace of scruples and caution before, and let the Knights surprise at the beginning, I doubt they would have just broken up, the Holy Light is above, look there! More than 10,000 archers were blocked by their companions, and what were their knights doing? Hiding behind the infantry just to keep the big guys safe? ”

Biting his lip tightly, the countess was silent for a while, not knowing if it was to save the last shred of dignity as a southerner, he reluctantly smiled and spoke

"Your caution is not without value, Your Highness, maybe those soldiers are indeed vulnerable, but the Knights of Thorns are definitely not an existence that can be ignored, and your safety will save many warriors from needless sacrifices!"

"Perhaps......"

Shrugging his shoulders, Leo had no intention of arguing too much with a lady on such a matter, but at this time, he also admired the ambition of Duke Lan Dun at the beginning, with such a level of training of soldiers, he wanted to challenge the authority of the empire, and wanted to seek division and independence, what kind of courage is this, even if the empire has begun to inevitably decline after several generations, but how can it not be defeated by such an enemy

It's no wonder that Rolf and Saru didn't pay attention to these southern nobles at all, probably for the same reason......

Since he didn't make a surprise attack at the beginning, Leo was not in a hurry to start fighting, and he touched his chin and looked carefully for a while before picking out the only advantage of the other party

"At least you are not wrong about one thing, Madam Count, the Southern Lords are really very wealthy, except for the Champion Swordsman and the Storm Wing, I really haven't seen a lord who can arm his infantry to the teeth, even the original Rolf can't do it"

"Do you find it a little tricky?"

"No, I think it's a waste, but I think the nobles with the soldiers still wearing leather armor will be very happy with the capture after this battle!"

……

After all, the woman beside him was also a member of the nobility of the Southern Territory, Leo stopped the topic at the right time, pointed to the flag that represented the coat of arms of the Lan Dun family that moved forward, and said with a smile to Trinas, whose expression was a little gloomy

"It seems that no matter what his origin, Lan Dun still wants to follow the tradition of war between nobles, although I think that there is no point in preaching each other's justice in that kind of boring conversation, although I don't think he deserves to continue to be a nobleman after leaving the human camp, but I am curious to meet this former legendary duke of pirates, dear lady, would you like to join me?"

"Of course, I'd love to see Lan Dun's distorted and hateful face after accidentally encountering your army!"

The two Knights of Punishment held high the flags representing the Duchy and the coat of arms of the Leo family, and Keith and Anthony personally led a small group of Knights of Punishment to escort them, and the group rode their horses to the center of the confrontation between the two armies at the same slow pace that matched the elegance of the nobles

As if accurately calculated, two teams of equal size stopped at the same time at a distance of five meters in the center of the battlefield, and at this time, Leo could also take a closer look at the legendary Duke Lan Dun in front of him, who could even write the hero of the story

Gray hair and beard sturdy tall body, weather-beaten face with a faint smile and majesty, due to the long period of good maintenance, it is difficult to tell his exact age, if it is not for the two thin lips that seem a little mean, just by the face can give at least eight points, it is not surprising why he would be in a very different capacity, and the obsessed aristocratic concubine died and lived......

"Have you arrived here to make up for your mistakes, to show your awe to my army, and to pledge your allegiance to me? Dear Lan Dun, this is really a wise choice, and perhaps with my mercy, you will be able to retain your hard-won duke status by relying on women! ”

The breeze gently brushed the ends of Leo's hair, and he was the first to speak with a smile, but the disdain and disgust in his eyes were undisguised......

Lan Dun snorted noncommittally at Leo's provocation, and took a few deep glances at Trinas on the other side before he spoke, and his rich baritone voice made anyone who didn't know the inside story feel pleasant

"Insulting another noble person does not reveal your status, and the fact that an outsider is lucky enough to be canonized does not mean that you meet the standards of a superior nobleman, or is this betrayer who has made you forget how to speak to someone of equal status by pleasing you with his body? Leo! ”

Asked Keith to hold down Paul, who was about to draw his sword for insulting Trinas, Leo put away his smile and said in a deep voice with a frosty face

"What about you? To insult a noble lady, to throw yourself into the arms of those demons, and to run to your death with the soldiers behind you who have no choice at all, is this the choice of a true human noble? Don't forget Lan Dun, everything you enjoy now comes from humans, without them, you are still that lowly and dirty pirate, living a precarious life and dying in the belly of a fish someday! ”

Shaking his finger contemptuously, perhaps because of the number of Leo's army in front of him, or perhaps because he had great trust in his knights and well-equipped soldiers, Lan Dunpi sneered without smiling

"Tradition is rubbish to break, young people, who simply don't understand what is the best option for us, or in other words? Do we look at things from different angles? ”

Shaking his head imperceptibly, after a few words of conversation, Leo no longer had any hope for Lan Dun, this is a selfish to the extreme, for which he does not hesitate to even sell his soul with an absolute egoist, there is no point in talking about anything in front of such a person

Tugging at the reins, Leo decided to end the meeting, and as he turned around, he nodded, and spoke in a cold voice

"Well, everything speaks with a sword, and according to tradition, the loser will lose everything!"

Nodding reservedly on horseback, Lan Dun returned

"Very well, this is also my wish, everything with the sword speaks, my knights will tear apart your arrogant Leo who does not know etiquette, and at the same time tear apart your soldiers, your dignity, and the rampant and arrogant Knights of Punishment, after losing these, you will kneel down with the slut next to you and kiss my boots, to beg for my forgiveness!"
