Chapter 0324: Hostility
What were the ordinary soldiers of Coldwind City like—dressed in tatters, with withered faces, shrunken and holding a rusty spear, hiding in the cave of the city gate to avoid the wind and fire.
What kind of people did Uncle Zhou bring - not to mention the cavalry and infantry in full armor and lined up, even the armed people driving behind were well fed and strong. The latter is equipped with an iron-inlaid shield and a long knife, and has a certain combat effectiveness.
The Black Forest's team arrives at the city's base, and Coldwind is unprepared for it. The inhabitants of the city were in confusion for a while, and they ran up the walls. Outside, a team of more than 80 people and 20 carriages were already lined up.
If people from other worlds can speak Chinese, the city wall must be a ', awesome, so powerful' at this moment. And at this moment, when they shrank behind the battlements of the city wall, they would only scream and ask each other who the gang outside was.
Thirty guards infantry were in the middle, twenty guards cavalry were on the two wings, Zhou Qingfeng rode the 'Swift Shadow' in the center, and finally two rows of carriages blocked and broken. Although this number is small, it is a standard battle queue, which can be attacked and defended.
There are no chaotic sounds, no scurrying soldiers, only a uniform momentum. Even the Guards Cavalry realized the difference at this moment, and the neatness of their own standing turned out to be a powerful force that caused amazement and shock.
Regardless of whether they are active or passive, everyone in the queue straightens their chests and rises with pride. They do deserve to be proud because they are so different.
The gates opened, the drawbridge fell, and the cavalry of Coldwind poured out.
In contrast, the opposite side looks like a group of fleeing Hanako - Marbury Longlegs and his family knights. I don't know if it's to protect my own safety, or in order not to lose my prestige, this gentleman brought hundreds of people out.
At the front were more than thirty knights, and at the back were nearly a hundred spearmen. When passing through the city gates, the ranks of the knights were sparse and long. Their horses are tall or short, fat or thin, and their equipment is varied.
The adventurer guards recruited by Zhou Qingfeng used to be the same, dressed up in fancy clothes and equipped with all kinds of equipment. Riding spears, spears, cavalry knives, and even maces. In this way, you can only fight alone, and you can't cooperate with the battle at all.
Harmony Village spent a lot of money to unify the equipment. For example, the main weapon of the guards was uniformly replaced with a standard cavalry sword. At first, they shouted that they were not used to it, but after a long time, they changed their words to shout 'really fragrant' - the quality of the forged weapons was very good.
As for the spearmen opposite, they were short and weak, and the spears in their hands were either carried, lifted or dragged in their hands. Not only did they not form a formation, but they also huddled together and pushed and shoved. This is neither imposing nor intimidating, like a group of beggars parading through the streets.
Marbury heard the news in the city and knew that Victor Hugo was coming, so he hurriedly brought people out to greet him. Now that the situation in Coldwind City is in a mess, he still manages to cobble together some people, and he can't let his 'allies' look down on him.
When he came out, he heard all kinds of discussions and rumors, and he was even more shocked when he came out - who were those people on the other side? Victor Hugo? What is he here for? Is there going to be a war?
The reflection of the weapons and armor was cold all over the body, and then looking at the red flag of the hunting exhibition, it was even more like a dream. He couldn't figure out what was going on, so he stopped in a daze. The subordinates were even more huddled, collectively stunned.
No one has ever seen such a battle!
In the past, when everyone grabbed the territory, it was the first and second sides to put on a posture like camping, and each went out to catch and kill the knights. The miscellaneous soldiers are responsible for waving flags and shouting, setting up shelves by the way, laying out stands, and preparing delicious wine and food, so that the old men are happy to watch.
Fights between knights are often stopped, even if they fall off their horses and are captured, they are also given preferential treatment, and they can redeem themselves with money afterwards. Ransom is the main source of income for many powerful knights.
But the people in Harmony Village emitted an aura of slaughter, as if they were desperate. This time it blinded Marbury's long legs and the others - the people who came out of the Black Forest were really barbarians, and they were too uncivilized like this.
Seeing that the people coming out of the city were in a daze, Zhou Qingfeng was impatient. He recognized the long legs of Marbury on the other side, and rode forward and shouted, "Your Excellency, you don't seem to welcome me?" Is there something unexpected? ”
Accidentally? You guys are the biggest surprise!
Marbury was named, so he could only come out with a frowning face and ask, "Your Excellency Hugo, what are you doing here?" ”
"I've heard that the situation in Coldwind City is unstable, and that there is a famine in the city. As an ally, in order to avoid the occurrence and spread of a humanitarian catastrophe, I have brought people to help. Zhou Qingfeng's expression was very serious, but no one understood what he said.
The young man still frowned, not knowing how to respond. When he heard the news, he reported it to his father on the hospital bed, and the 'old long legs' immediately asked him to go out of the city to see the situation. But now that the situation is in view, he doesn't know how to deal with it.
Thinking from the bottom of his heart, Marbury's long legs couldn't let Zhou Qingfeng slaughter all the wall-like magnates in the city. But reason told him that it was really possible for the person in front of him to slaughter the powerful people in the city, and then slaughter his own family by the way.
As he hesitated, a person stood beside him and shouted proudly, "Victor Hugo, we don't need an ally like you. Please stay out of our sight, or you will be seen as an enemy by us. ”
Zhou Qingfeng's eyes were deflected and he saw an ugly guy. The man's face seemed to be covered with paste, his skin was wrinkled one by one, and his eyes were yellow, like dead fish. He asked rhetorically, "Who are you?" ”
'Dead Fish Eyes' raised his head even more, "I am the vice-lord of Coldwind City, a loyal friend of the Longlegs family, and a law-abiding and fair judge of Coldwind City,"
"That's enough, shut up. The name is too long, and I'm not interested in knowing who you are. ”
Zhou Qingfeng didn't give the other party a chance to finish his words at all, and turned his head to look at Marbury again, "Your Excellency, I want to know your opinion?" Let me go, or whatever? ”
This ignorance caused 'Dead Fisheye' to be enraged and roar loudly. Marbury's long legs simply shrank his head and said, "Your Excellency Hugo, you wait a minute, I can't make a decision, I need to inform my father." ”
After saying this, the gentleman breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and ran towards the city. He went all the way to the city lord's mansion in the city, but on the way, he met his own servant to summon the news—the old man was worried that his son would not be able to make a decision, so he sent someone to teach him
"The lord said that if Victor Hugo was tough, let him go into the city. If he has a weak attitude, put him outside the city. The lord hopes that you can take control of the situation and not make too much trouble with Victor Hugo, but don't provoke him either. ”
Marbury's long legs were already sweating in a hurry, and when he got this advice, he hurriedly turned around and ran towards the city gate. He thought to himself, "I just can't control the situation now, and no one listens to me." ”
When the gentleman returned to the city gate again, he found that the atmosphere outside was tense and very wrong. He hurriedly asked one of the soldiers, and got the news that His Excellency Lehman felt humiliated and wanted to duel with the barbarians of the Black Forest!
Duel?!
