"Meet your lord. ”

Reinhardt's gaze swept over the broken porcelain pieces scattered on the ground, and then stepped forward to salute Holancest.

"You're welcome. Why did Lord Reinhardt come here?"

Hollanster was leaning back in his chair and looking out the window, and it wasn't until Reinhardt opened his mouth to greet him that he reacted, and quickly stood up and politely invited him to sit down beside him.

"My lord, I heard from the merchants from the west that something happened in Tiesong Town?"

Reinhardt asked knowingly.

"A handful of refugees are making trouble, and I have already arranged for someone to calm it down. ”

Hollanster said lightly.

"I heard that the Flying Eagle Mercenary Regiment was wiped out, and the road to Tiesong Town was blocked, and now Tiesong Town is in a state of disconnection?"

Reinhardt unceremoniously debunked.

"Your message is inaccurate. Most of the Eagle Mercenary Regiment entered Capra Mountain to carry out the task of protecting the mine, and only a small number of people were left behind, otherwise the mob would not have been given a chance. ”

Hollanster waved his hand repeatedly, but his face did not blush.

"I see. Reinhardt pretended to be abrupt: "I'll just say that with some unarmed refugees, how can it be possible to wipe out a large mercenary group of the whole formation overnight." However, due to the impact of the refugee riot, the current road to Capra Pass in the empire has been cut off, and the supply of materials cannot be delivered, and the lord needs to solve it as soon as possible. ”

"The other party is just a rabble, and I have ordered the Spirit Snake Mercenary Group and the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group to send troops to exterminate the refugees entrenched in Tiesong Town. ”

"My lord, if you can do it yourself, I hope that the ancient city of Okugu can completely restore calm before the New Year, otherwise the garrison of Capra Pass will have to clear the obstacles by themselves. ”

Reinhardt laughed and threatened.

"This rebellion is an internal matter of the Gossa, and the Agu family can solve it themselves, so the empire will not worry about it. Rest assured, Lord Reinhardt, you will hear the good news of victory in a few days. ”

Hearing that the Yus military wanted to intervene in this rebellion, Holancest's face not only changed, but he quickly refused, and immediately patted his chest to make a statement.

"Does your lord know who the leader of this refugee riot is?"

Reinhardt asked.

"It's not very clear yet, could it be that you have any news?"

Hearing Reinhardt's question, Hollandst turned his head suddenly, his eyes flashing, as if he wanted to see if Reinhardt really knew some secrets that he didn't know.

"As the master of the ancient city of Aogu, I don't know, and of course I don't know as an outsider. However, I have a suggestion for adults, it is better for adults to investigate clearly before using troops. ”

Reinhardt finished speaking, stood up and took his leave.

"Lord Reinhardt is too worried, and whoever is behind the mob is going to kill them. ”

Hollanster sent Reinhardt to the door, and then said confidently.

"Pass my order, let the Flying Eagle Mercenary Group and the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group send troops immediately, and be sure to eliminate the mob in one fell swoop, so as not to let Yus find an opportunity to intervene. ”

Sending Reinhardt away, Holland's face immediately sank, and he called the guards to give the order.

"Report to the head of the regiment, everything is ready to go. ”

At the station of the Spirit Snake Mercenary Group, the soldiers have been assembled, and all the materials needed for the battle have been in place.

"Very well, how is the preparation of Captain Walker?"

"Report to the head of the regiment, the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Regiment has postponed the start of the campaign by one day due to logistical scheduling problems. ”

"Haha, God help us. ”

When he heard that the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group was not ready, Carter couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, making the soldiers around him wonder for a while, and then he gave an order:

"The order was given, and the whole army immediately moved forward at full speed, trying to settle the battle before the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Regiment arrived. ”

Only then did his soldiers react that the boss laughed excitedly because he was missing a competitor.

According to the order of Commander Carter, the Spirit Snake Mercenary Regiment got up early and marched all the way, and by noon on the third day, the legion outpost had seen a canyon in the distance. There are layers of hedges erected at the mouth of the canyon, and flags are displayed behind the hedges, and seeing the approach of the spirit snake mercenary group, there was chaos in the fortress, and some people appeared above the hedges, pointing at them.

"Who's up ahead?"

The man on the wooden fence shouted from afar at the Spirit Snake Mercenary Group.

"Carter, the leader of the Spirit Snake Mercenary Regiment under the Mercenary Guild. ”

"What are you here for?"

"On the orders of the Elder, who came to exterminate the mob in Iron Pine Town, who of you dare to block the way of our army?"

Carter urged his horse to the front of the formation and asked sharply.

"Exterminate the mob in Iron Pine?"

The man on the hedge looked up and laughed:

"Haha! I'm the mob you call Morey, and I'm guarding this canyon today on the orders of our Wing Captain. ”

"You nomads are cornered by the orcs, and Lord Ogu remembers that we have a common ancestor, allowing you to settle in the ancient city of Oku, and providing you with assistance, but I did not expect you to take revenge. If you sacrifice your fortress today and kneel down and beg for mercy, I may be able to intercede before the lord to save you from death, or else my army will burn everywhere it goes, and it will be too late to regret it. ”

Although Carter had already guessed the identity of the other party, he still didn't expect the refugees to be so efficient and have already occupied the military danger of the mouth of the canyon. It seems that if you want to continue your march, you must pull out the rudimentary-looking fortress in front of you.

"Haha, Marcus, who disbanded our militia at the beginning, said the same, and now he is our prisoner. If you want to take the fortress today, you don't think about it unless you step over my corpse. ”

"Well, since you want to die, I'll fulfill you. ”

As soon as the two sides disagreed, Commander Carter ordered an attack on the makeshift military fortress at the mouth of the gorge.

"The infantry brigade is in front, and the archery brigade is covering. ”

A succession of military orders was passed down, with infantry in front and archers in the rear advancing slowly in array towards the mouth of the ravine. When they were about two hundred paces from the front of the makeshift fortress at the mouth of the gorge, some of the infantry raised their wooden shields and continued their advance, while others stopped and the archers put up their shields, while the archers took their longbows from behind them and drew their arrows from the quiver they carried.

"Fifty degrees in front of you, full strings!"

The commander of the archers shouted loudly.

In a "squeak" sound, the bow with a pull force of more than 100 pounds quickly bent.

"Shoot!"

The commander gave the order, and the sky at the mouth of the canyon immediately resounded with the chirping of the sharp object.

The sound of "whooshing" is connected together, like a whistle in the mouth of the god of death, which is heart-wrenching.

Nearly a thousand feathered arrows shot by a whole brigade of archers were densely packed like locusts and pounced on the wooden fortress.

The refugees on the hedge also figuratively shot a few arrows at the infantry, but due to the limited range of their bows and arrows, they fell headlong before they could fly over the infantry array.

"No! ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Morey on the fence threw his bow and arrows, turned and jumped behind the hedge.

"Ahhh

There was a scream from inside the hedge, and it looked like the first round of arrows had already inflicted heavy casualties on the refugees inside the fort.

"Fifty degrees in front, full strings, shoot!"

The archers, under the command of the officer, fired two more rounds in a row before stopping to rest. At the same time, the infantry began to speed up and run towards the hedge, holding their shields high to prevent the feathered arrows that could be fired at any moment, but unexpectedly, not a single arrow came out of it until they rushed under the hedge.

"The enemy was repulsed. ”

The first infantry group leader to climb the hedge shouted to Commander Carter in the rear.

"What!?"

Carter could hardly believe his ears, and he immediately rushed to the fortress with his own soldiers.

The gates of the fortress were opened from the inside, and Carter drove his horse in. As the infantry captain said, he was greeted by an empty fortress with not even a single enemy in it. The ground was densely packed with feather arrows, the shafts of the arrows shook slightly in the autumn wind, the enemies fled in a hurry, weapons were thrown everywhere, and there were many pools of blood scattered among them, as if to tell everyone what kind of psychological collapse the people stationed here had just suffered, but although these enemies were vulnerable, they were very kind to their comrades, and not even a single corpse was left.

"It's vulnerable!"

Carter made his way to the other end of the fort, where he could see the unarmoured, disgraced deserters in the canyon not far away.

"Commander, let me lead someone to kill them without leaving a piece of armor. ”

The Infantry Captain stood beside Carter and pleaded. Although the first battle was successful, it was all the credit of the archers, and the infantry, as the main force, did not even have a chance to fight the enemy, which made the infantry captain feel a little embarrassed, and hoped to find an opportunity to make up for it.

"Wait!"

Carter looked at the terrain on both sides of the canyon and calmed down, he waved his hand to stop his men's actions:

"Scout, go to the summits on either side of the canyon and see if there is an enemy ambush. ”

The enemy behaved so vulnerably that it was either really a rabble, or lured into the canyon with ambushes on both sides. To be sure, Carter ordered the scouts to scout the mountains on both sides of the canyon. The skilful scouts climbed the ridges on either side of the canyon and soon brought back good news:

"Report to the head of the regiment, after careful search, there is no ambush on the mountain ridge on the left. ”

"Report to the head of the regiment, after careful search, there is no ambush on the ridge on the right. ”

"It looks like a rabble!"

Carter felt that he was too wise to send troops ahead of the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group this time, otherwise the credit for the victory in the first battle would have been equally shared between the two sides.

"Signal soldiers, quickly return to the ancient city of Aogu to report to the lord, just say that our army encountered the advance of the mob at the mouth of the canyon, and after a fierce battle, our army has completely defeated the mob at the mouth of the canyon and taken the temporary fortress at the mouth of the canyon. Tonight, our army will advance into the area of Tiesong Town, and tomorrow we will choose the opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the tyrannical forces. ”

Carter summoned the Signal Soldier and asked him to pass back the good news of the victory in the first battle, and in order to prove the accuracy of the news, he asked the Signal Soldier to bring back several captured military flags used by the refugees as evidence.

Without waiting for the signal soldiers to leave, Carter immediately ordered the vanguard to pursue the fleeing enemy, and led the main force to the rear of the palace.

That night, the Spirit Snake Mercenary Regiment set up camp ten miles away from Tiesong Town, only to wait for the next day the army to attack, crush the main force of refugees, and recover Tiesong Town.
