Chapter 4 The Frontline

On the third day of training, two of Duke Green's personal guards, the badge of which was a top-tier silver knight with five sharp teeth in a lion's mouth, came to Klaus's camp and gave the following order dryly: "In the name of Lord Duke, Team Leader Klaus, on the spot, will be promoted to the fifteenth provisional legion of Xili Province, and the whole army will be developed, advance to the junction of Qingfeng Plain and Xili Province, and cooperate with the other twenty provisional legions to intercept the Smart Imperial Army, and they will definitely not be allowed to move forward." ”

Before Klaus could wake up from the joy of his sudden two-rank increase, he was stunned by the order that followed. With an expression similar to pointing to a pile of garbage, he pointed to the recruits who were a group of small citizens, carrying sharpened wooden sticks, and asked in an uncanny tone, "My lord, do you want me to lead these people to intercept the army of the Smart Empire?"

Lord Guards was a little sympathetic, looked at the recruits nearby with the same garbage-like eyes, shook his head, and said helplessly: "Klaus, this is the order of Lord Duke. The 'Green Field' had a little trouble outside, they wanted to go down the small mountain range of Coslow to disguise their march, but they ran into a landslide, and their speed was slowed down a lot, and in order to defend our territory, we had to... ”

Klaus sighed, slapped his sword weakly, and muttered in a low voice, "We must put these guys on the battlefield... Well, I obey orders, but sharpened wood can't kill, and even the thinnest leather armor is hard to pierce, sir. ”

The faces of the two guards relaxed, and they laughed: "Then, please rest assured, the Duke ordered all the blacksmiths in the province to work overnight, and have already made enough iron spear heads, sharpen them, and put them on wooden sticks, isn't it just a spear? As long as they learn to stab people with spears, 500,000 pikemen can always kill and injure a lot of enemy troops, right?" After saying that, they threw a sample to Klaus.

Klaus's eyes widened, and he looked at the cone-shaped spear head in his hand with an incredulous expression. It's just that after the iron sheet is rolled into a cone, the seams are casually pasted with iron liquid. Klaus looked at the two guards helplessly and sighed: "So, so be it, at least it's much more lethal than a wooden stick, but I still have a problem." ”

The two guards looked at Klaus with a difficult face, and whispered: "This is already the fastest and most effective way to solve the shortage of ordnance that can be found, we know that there is too little armor, and there are not enough knives and guns, so we can only let them make the wooden stick longer, and make it into an extra-long spear to deal with the enemy, there is really no way, the other lords, their private army is on the border of the Xili Province, but no one will come to reinforce us, so we can only rely on ourselves." ”

Klaus let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about the problem of weapons, there are so many of us in the past, the Smart Empire will consider the risk of attacking us anyway, and it is not cost-effective to exchange elite troops for these new recruits of ours." What I'm saying is: high-ranking knights, there are no high-ranking knights between us. The two adults, the division commanders of our three divisions, the most clever is the Silver Fourth-Order Knight, which is not as strong as the two Adults, and only the three of them are Silver Knights, there are very few Bronze Top-Order Knights like me, if they propose a duel, can we refuse?"

The guards laughed, their faces were much more relaxed, and they nodded and said: "This problem, Lord Duke has already considered, our captain, the powerful Golden Knight of Kylo, will lead several high-ranking knights to the border, if they want to fight openly, let those soft-footed knights of the Smart Empire teach us the power of Van warriors." ”

A smile also appeared on Klaus's face: "Then there is nothing to worry about, although I am only a bronze horseman, but I should be able to kill the guys of their empire silver middle rank, right? ”

The three of them burst out laughing, their words filled with disdain for the knights of the Smart Empire.

Klaus smiled, but his heart was full of doubts: "It's strange, no matter where Duke Green goes, Lord Kylo will definitely follow him, but this time, Lord Kellor actually took people to the front line, so Lord Kelo is not worried about his safety?" But how did Klaus know that after Duke Green got the battle report from the front, he had already brought his family, All the property has been transferred to the imperial capital, and if you can't be a majestic lord in the local area, then it's not bad to go to the imperial capital to be a noble nobleman, it's better than being captured by the enemy and killed.

In this way, when the lord had fled, most of the high-ranking knights in the territory had been wiped out with the 'Green Field Legion', the private legions of the other lords around him were reluctant to arrive, and the reinforcements from the imperial capital did not know where, and the recruit team where Lei and them were drove to the front line.

Fortunately, Klaus is a more pragmatic team leader, he summed up all the teams led by the young people in Kari Village into his veteran ranks, and along the way, Klaus ruthlessly strengthened the training of other recruits, and after every day of the march, those pikemen in the camp had to frantically thrust their spears until they couldn't lift their hands, and then let them rest.

A small proprietor recruited from the city suddenly cried bitterly during training, and was beheaded by Klaus's fighting spirit one meter away on the spot, so that all the recruits understood what it means to engage in military law, and for a while, the enthusiasm for training increased by three points again.

However, Klaus's station was too close to the border of the province of Siri, and even after such a delay, they reached the meeting point after three days. Three provisional regiments had arrived, and the battalion had been stationed, and the large gray or black tents were spectacular from a distance.

Klaus ordered the soldiers to go to the camp, and he took a few of his own soldiers to meet the other team leaders, oh, the current provisional captains.

As soon as he walked to the temporary tent of the Chinese army, he heard a roar from inside: "Okay, our task is to defend our own province, it is enough to block the three hundred miles of border in front, you go down to camp in a straight line, place 20,000 people in each camp, give me a total of twenty-five camps, hold the ground in the middle of the two hundred miles, and leave the left and right flanks alone." If the Smart Empire were to advance from both of our flanks, they couldn't possibly let them fight without alerting the damned lords' legions. ”

Klaus cautiously walked in, and what he saw was the Knight of Kylo wearing purple armor and the insignia of his family's dragon crest. He was born into a noble family, and although he did not have the right to inherit the family, he was granted permission to use his family's insignia on his armor, and his knightly emblem was engraved on his weapon, a golden wyvern with four sharp teeth in its mouth.

Seeing Klaus walk in, Kylo just nodded slightly, and continued to command: "No, for safety, we need to bring the camp closer, understand? Don't give the enemy any chance to attack us." Hmph, if my current subordinates were all elites like the 'Green Legion', I wouldn't need to be so careful, but... He muttered in a low voice, "A pile of garbage, can you fight?"

There was silence in the tent for a while, and Kylo took a sip of water, and was about to continue speaking, when Ray rushed in and exclaimed loudly: "Lord Klaus, it's not good, our people and the people of the provisional Seventh Legion are fighting... There is a brother in our regiment who has a feud with a brother in the regiment over there, and the two of them have a fight when they meet, of course we have to help them, and they naturally help their own people, and now more than 2,000 people are fighting together. ”

Kailo was just about to deal with Lei's great crime of trespassing on the Chinese army, but when he heard that more than 2,000 recruits were in a mess, he suddenly had no heart to deal with Lei, he slapped the table angrily, and shouted: "Go, follow me to see, where is the military law team? Damn, how did I forget, how can such a garbage army have a military court. He rushed out of the tent in anger, looked back, and cursed again: "Is it any wonder that a small soldier can rush in, and the gatekeeper is actually a recruit?

Klaus and the other team leaders looked at each other, speechless, the veterans had been sent out to supervise the recruits, where could they draw manpower? If these recruits were not brought by the veterans, they would have been out of the queue a long time ago.

Kylo rushed to the edge of the field where he was fighting frantically with five golden knights and twelve silver knights, and at this moment more than 5,000 people were waving their fists together, and far away, on the small hill on the right hand, about 10,000 people were clapping their palms and shouting: "Fight, fight, ******, kill that group of bastards, come on, hahaha, it's so ****** and lively, it turns out that the army is so fun." ”

Kylo trembled with anger, he slowly drew his long sword, violently carried his fighting spirit, and yelled at the soldier on the hill: "Shut up." You can see a circle of air ripples whistling and rushing over, and the more than 100 soldiers in front of them only felt a tightness in their chests, and the Venus flashed in front of them, and their bodies suddenly softened on the ground, and the huge sound also made those soldiers who were gloating and watching the excitement close their mouths.

Including Kailo, a total of eighteen high-ranking knights waved their weapons and rushed into the battle group, they were very ruthless, these high-ranking knights, where would they care about the life and death of these untouchables? In Klaus's unbearable eyes, about two hundred heads fell to the ground in an instant, and the splashed blood made the soldiers on both sides who were fighting let out a miserable howl, and they climbed apart like ghosts, and stood in place trembling.

The sound of neat footsteps was heard, and the four Imperial teams that had escaped from the front of the 'Iron Castle' rushed over, and the handles of their weapons were beaten at the brawling soldiers, throwing them out like dead dogs.

Kylo's heavy voice spread throughout the camp: "If there is a crowd to fight, those who do not abide by military discipline will be killed." ”

A small voice trembled a little, but it whispered a little unevenly: "If you kill the person who leads the way, why do you kill so many innocent people? Military law, military law, military law is too strict." ”

Kylo turned his head sharply, his blood-glittering eyes stared at Ray who was speaking, Klaus felt bad, but where did he dare to stop it? As soon as Ray's words came out, he regretted it in his heart, and he looked at the hideous Kylo in fear, and almost collapsed to the ground.

Kylo sneered and approached Ray, suddenly grabbed Ray's neck with one hand, and roared loudly: "What do you know, what do you understand? This is the army, discipline is above all else, discipline is life, discipline is victory." If a mess of garbage can win a war, then what do you need the army for? Do you understand? Military law, military law, haha, if you can do my position, you will understand why military law must be strictly enforced... ”

Kylo glanced at Lei, who was pinched by him and couldn't speak, his face was purple and red, and he sneered and said: "However, I don't think you can have a chance to be a person like me, little friend, I am the Imperial Golden Top Knight, the Imperial Army Lieutenant General, my knighthood is Meritorious Knight, the title is Viscount, you... Hum. ”

Kylo threw the thunder heavily on the ground, just throwing him on a few heads that were still dripping with blood, and shouted in a low voice: "Although you have not violated military discipline, you trespass on the Chinese army, disrespect the commander, and violate the will of the commander, which is also a crime." But now we need manpower, so you have to be grateful to me for sparing your life, little friend. He sneered and shook his big red cloak, and walked towards the big tent with a group of high-ranking knights, and dropped a sentence from his mouth: "Those who fight, each with fifty lashes." ”

Lei was already stunned, looking at the human head close at hand, there was still a human head sitting under his buttocks, and his hand was actually holding one, his eyes were dark, his stomach churned, and he suddenly vomited in embarrassment, and just spit out a few mouthfuls of bitter water, he fainted.

Klaus was stunned, but he knew that Lei and his group were much more fierce than ordinary citizens, and if he fainted at the sight of a person's head, then the other soldiers would run away without seeing blood?

Bit and they had already heard the news and rushed over, helplessly helping Ray up from the ground. Ole muttered beside him: "On weekdays, I don't blink my eyes when I kill those beasts, how can I see a human head like this?"

Bit frowned and looked at the more than two hundred heads on the ground, and sighed helplessly: "After all, it's a human head." Killing a beast is different from killing a person, right?"

Ole tilted his head and shouted, "Then why don't we go to the army of the Smart Empire, kill someone, and see if I will faint." ”

Klaus was a little amused when he heard this, and punched Ole in the shoulder fiercely, and drank: "Nonsense, how many of you go to the army of the Smart Empire? A lowly-level mage can easily kill you." Don't talk about their soldiers, although the soldiers of the Smart Empire are garbage, but at least they are much better equipped than you, and they have been trained for several years, just a few of you, it's not good. ”

In the venue, the imperial soldiers of the four teams had already pressed the brawlers to the ground, pulled out leather whips, hemp ropes, or simply wooden sticks and smashed them on their heads and faces, the imperial soldiers of these four teams were all elite, and they had a lot of strength in their hands, and they could only hear those brawling guys one by one and rolling on the ground, their thin clothes shattered, and blood stains appeared on them.

Klaus sighed in a low voice: "Fifty strokes? can make them not able to get up for two months, hehe, I didn't expect that when I first came to the front line, I lost more than 2,000 people in non-combat, which is not a good sign." ”

The leader of the provisional Seventh Legion, who is also the leader of the team, Ex, a bronze fourth-order knight, looked at Klaus with a wry smile: "Come on, Klaus, am I not the same?" ******, who is the person who led the fight? Wait a minute, I will depose him with my own hands." ”

Klaus looked at the people in the field who were gradually rolling and not moving, and sneered: "Of course, how could I let them go." More than 2,000 people, more than 2,000 spearmen, put up their spears, they can defend the long line of defense, hehe, I don't waste that bastard, am I still Klaus?"

Bit: They shuddered and didn't dare to speak.

Another team leader interjected: "I'm more worried about other problems, even if the combat effectiveness is forgotten, the advantage in numbers can more or less supplement a little bit of the problem of insufficient combat effectiveness, but as for morale... I don't think a soldier who panics at the sight of blood will be able to hold his ground. ”

Another team leader complained: "All my veterans have been sent to the team to supervise, but I don't think it works very well." I think that instead of letting those veterans waste their energy to mix with these recruits, it is better to gather them, and our three divisions and 21 teams add up to 30,000 people.

Klaus frowned: "How can it be done? Without the supervision of veterans, the 500,000 recruits are guaranteed to be in a mess, do you want to collapse on the whole line? And 30,000 people is really not enough for the other party's army to impact." What the hell is going on with the Green Field Corps, and why haven't they arrived yet?"

The Imperial soldiers who had finished their executions were walking past them in a procession, and when they heard Klaus's complaints, several officers glanced at him with strange and stolen glances, and hurried over. The others didn't notice their abnormal expressions, but they had just woken up, and Ray, who had just opened his eyes, saw it. However, there was still a confused thunder in his head, and he didn't think of what those officers' eyes meant.

Reluctantly beckoning the recruits to carry the immobilized creatures into the tent, Klaus and the other team leaders deliberated for a while, and then shouted loudly to drive their subordinate soldiers to rearrange the camp according to Kylo's request. Extend the defensive line as much as possible while maintaining the density of troops, and then it will be up to the temporary legion to be unlucky and be the first to be attacked by the opponent.

After two busy days, Ray finally smashed the last stake into the mud with a stone, he rubbed the ****'s upper body and sighed. Joining the army is really not an easy thing, at least the camp is so troublesome and hard. However, he didn't know that the regular army resettlement camp only took more than an hour, and the efficiency of their recruit team was too slow, so it only took two days. In particular, Kylo demanded that the defense of the front of the camp must be strengthened, and the wooden stakes were made in three rows, and it was inevitable that the speed would be slower.

At the same time, those recruits recruited in the city will never contribute when they can grind foreign labor, and in the case of the section in charge of the team in Kari Village, they are basically recruits in the mountainous areas who are working.

A veteran walked over slowly, patted Lei's body with a smile, and appreciated: "Lei, you kid is very strong, you look like a seventeen-year-old young man, hehe, the biggest brother in our team, it's just about the same as you, your muscles, if you hone it and learn riding, maybe you can be a knight." ”

Ray laughed a little shyly, and Bit had already come over to join in the fun: "Brother Kraft, don't underestimate our Lei, if it's a strength, I'm not his opponent for three, if it weren't for his mother's illness, he wouldn't have time to learn boxing with us, and I'm not his opponent for ten... By the way, I saw that the team leaders all used vindictive energy, don't they teach this in the army?"

Kraft looked left and right, muttered a few words, and asked in a low voice: "Didn't the one who taught you martial arts tell you this? The Imperial Army does have a standard cultivation method, but at least the Bronze Fourth-Order Knight is qualified to learn, and other noble families also have some different cultivation methods, but how can they teach us?"

Lei was puzzled and asked, "Why? If we all learn it, won't we be able to increase our combat effectiveness a lot?"

Kraft whispered, ", if we all learn, those noble knights and officers, how can they snatch military merit? Moreover, can you trust ordinary people to master this powerful power? Just like in the Smart Empire, magician apprentices need to swear that they will never tell ordinary people anything about magic, and they are all branded with magic, so that they cannot break their oaths." It's all the same thing. ”

Bit, they have nothing to say, and the psychology of the ruling class is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

At this moment, Ray suddenly picked up his bow and arrows, turned around and took the bow, and then shot an arrow, 'click', he used too much force, and the standard bow in his hand was pulled in two by him, and the arrow was shot out with a scream.

In the distance, a black horse was rushing from the Qingfeng Plain, and Kraft was already nervously shouting: "It's the magician of the Smart Empire, everyone pay attention... Strange, how dare he come here alone?。。。 We didn't even pay attention, what a monster boy, worthy of being an Orion. ”

Bit, while gathering his subordinate soldiers, complained loudly: "Ray, aren't you afraid of accidentally hurting our people? Although there is no longer our army on the Qingfeng Plain, it may also be our people, fortunately he is wearing a magician's robe, otherwise I doubt that you are nervous." ”

In such a short sentence, the sharp arrow had already broken through the air and hit the face of the black-robed magician, and Lei's arrow was really fast and ruthless.

Strangely, all the rushing soldiers were stunned, and the air was filled with large circles of visible ripples, and the sharp arrow slowly slowed down and finally stopped in the air. The magician rode by, grabbing the arrow that had stopped in the air with one hand, and then a small tornado swept the arrow and roared back.

Ray subconsciously lowered his head, and with a 'poof', an unlucky recruit behind him was immediately shot through the chest by this long arrow, and fell to the ground with a miserable howl. Ray shivered a little all over, he felt the death of his companion for the first time, especially when the guy fell, his chest was still rubbing against Ray's back, and a large piece of blood smeared on Ray's back.

The recruits shouted, more than a dozen archers had already drawn their bows and arrows, ready to shoot, and the black-robed mage had already ridden to a distance of more than ten meters in front of the main camp. The mage sneered, "Is this the etiquette of your Van Empire towards envoys? ”

The big tent of the Chinese army was in Klaus's camp, and when he heard the commotion outside, Kylo rushed over with a large number of knights and soldiers, and shouted: "The messenger of the Smart Empire? ”

The black-robed mage slowly untied the hood of his cloak, revealing a handsome face, and said with a smile: "I'm very sorry, I am the commander of the army of the Smart Empire this time, my name is Karin, the Phoenix Fifth Order Mage of the Smart Empire. He smiled and bowed slightly on his horse, his movements comical but with great grace.

Kylo was stunned, and he asked blankly: "You, are you Smart's commander, or a mage? Phoenix Fifth Order? is nothing in your Smart Empire, let you lead the army alone, is your emperor crazy?"

Carlin shrugged his shoulders, looked like a child, climbed off his horse in a hurry, and walked towards the camp, sighing and saying: "I also think that Your Majesty is crazy, but who called my father the first prime minister of the empire? He always asks me to make some merits, and then I can improve my official position, but I, Carlin, is a beautiful man who is known as the first lover of the imperial capital, and he really can't bear to let me come." ”

There was already a wonderful light in Kailo's eyes, the fifth-order mage of the phoenix was nothing, and he was only rewarded with more than a thousand gold coins if he cut him off, but the commander of the Smart Empire, if he could send him to the imperial capital, he could at least be promoted to the rank of general, or get the title of an earl. Especially since he is the son of the first prime minister of the Smart Empire, he can act as the commander of the Smart Empire, I think it is all because of his father's relationship, right? The value of this person is too great, and he actually went to his own camp alone, oh my God, a mage, alone to a big camp full of knights and soldiers, this is simply a cute little lamb, and he ran into the dragon's den by himself.

Kylo smiled, bowed respectfully, and greeted in a malicious tone: "Your Excellency, it is a great honor, please come in, please come in, oh, what wine do you like? ”

Carlin had already walked through the barracks gate, smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, dear General Kylo. Oh, I'm actually very fond of fine wine, and those ladies and ladies like red wine, good red wine, so I don't really have any interest in tea. I can only pursue them if I cater to their tastes, and I can just have some wine. ”

Without waiting for Kylo to speak, Carlin said to himself, "I'm sorry, I accidentally killed one of your soldiers, I'm too sensitive, I'm really sorry, well, I think I should pay a little compensation." After saying that, he began to dig into the pockets on his body, but he touched a full cup of tea, but still didn't touch anything, and suddenly smiled a little embarrassed.

Kylo immediately commanded: "It is all right, honorable lord, come on, carry this poor lad in, and give him a pension of five hundred gold coins, which will be delivered directly to his family, understand? ”

Carlin nodded, glanced lightly at the wooden-like thunder standing next to him watching the bustle, and then glanced at the broken standard bow in his hand, and muttered in his heart: "It's this kid, ******, he almost cut my face with an arrow, and I thought that these recruits would not notice my movements, but I didn't expect that he actually heard the sound of my horse's hooves, is he a dog or a human." ”

However, Carlin immediately had a smile on his face, and affectionately took Kylo's hand and said, "Actually, don't bother, I'm here just to discuss something with you." ”

Kylo grabbed Carlin's hand tightly and said with a smile, "Please, please, everything is negotiable, don't you go into the big tent? ”

Carlin didn't seem to care about Kylo's actions, and said with a smile: "It's good to bring the wine here, I like to drink when I stand under the sky and enjoy the beauty of nature, the tent, there is a smell of leather, I'm not used to it... Well, first of all, I'm sorry for the look on my men for destroying the Green Field, and I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart, Lord Kylo. ”

Kylo was stunned, he suddenly realized that Carlin had called his name as soon as they met, but he didn't bother to ask this question, but nervously covered it up: "Oh my God, what are you talking about?" The 'Green Field Corps' are heading here, how can you fight them?"

And the soldiers around them have already stirred, and the 'Green Field Corps' have all been killed? So what are they, they are regular elite legions, well-equipped and well-trained, and what about themselves? If the Smart Imperial Army can destroy them, then it is not difficult to kill themselves, right?

Carlin looked at Kylo with a pure face: "It's impossible, when our people cleaned the battlefield, there were a total of 26,782 corpses, including nineteen golden knights, sixty-seven silver knights, one hundred and ninety-five bronze knights, and about four hundred and seventy-eight black iron knights, which is exactly in line with the information we know, the situation of the 'Green Field Corps', isn't it?"

Kylo was speechless, everyone had already talked to this extent, what else could he do? Who didn't know that the 'Green Field Legion' was the corps with the most regular knights among the private legions in the southern part of the empire, and if they didn't really wipe out the entire 'Green Field Legion', how could they know the exact number of low-level Black Iron Knights?

The recruits' voices grew louder and louder, and Kylo's face became more and more ugly, but he still sneered in his heart: "What if you let the soldiers know about the destruction of the 'Green Field Legion'? You've arrived at my camp, can you still run out? Damn, see how I clean you up." ”

Carlin smiled and said mysteriously, "Well, I want to discuss something with you." ”

Kylo increased the strength of his hand, smiled and nodded, "Say, what is the matter? Do you want to surrender to us, or do you want to betray the Smart Empire and ask us to shelter you?"

Carlin looked unhappy, and he exclaimed, "What, could I have done something like that? Why should I surrender? We have at least won a battle, why should I betray my country? I am courting Your Majesty's little princess... Eh, that's an irrelevant question, isn't it?"

Kylo put on a grim look and stared at Carlin, "So, your honorable Excellency, what do you want to say? As the commander of the Smart Imperial Army, if you don't surrender to us, why are you coming to our camp alone?"

Carlin looked depressed: "Oh my God, how do you want me to say it? I'm so embarrassed... We're trying to retreat, but could you please cooperate?"

Kylo was stunned, and so were the soldiers around him, and at this moment there were more and more onlookers, and everyone heard Carlin's words, and those who stood far behind and did not hear them were also relayed from their companions, and they all immediately murmured in low voices.

Carlin sighed and said: "Qingfeng Plain is one of the largest grain producing areas in your country, it should be said that there is no worry, but we came at the wrong time, we came in the spring, and as a result, the grain in the field has just sprouted, why when I set out, no one told me that the grain can only be harvested in autumn? ”

Kylo began to smile as he exclaimed, "Oh my God, Lord Carlin, are you taking me for a fool? You may not know the importance of food, but won't your subordinate generals remind you of this? Do you want to deceive me with such a simple trick?"

Carlin looked innocent and looked at Kylo blankly: "Deceive? Are you insulting me? I never deceive people, you know, my most glorious record is to travel among three noble ladies in one night, and it is because of my honesty that I have touched their hearts, do you want to insult me?。。。 Oh my God, if it weren't for the fact that the son of the Imperial Minister of War wanted to compete with me for the right to lead the troops into the war, would I have run out with only half a month's worth of food and grass?"

Kylo was dumbfounded by Carlin's words, and Carlin cursed in a low voice: "Damn Shabaste, he actually dared to snatch this commander's position with me, I knew I should have let him follow me in the army, and then I found a chance to cut off his head, what a damn guy... Your 'Iron and Blood Battle Fort' is really too stingy, the grain and grass in it is only enough for us to eat for thirty days, and now we have been sending troops for almost a month, and there is no food, how do you tell us to play." ”

Kylo roared in confusion: "Impossible, there is enough food for 100,000 troops in the 'Iron Blood Battle Castle' for ten years, how is it possible?"

Carlin shouted and scolded: "It's not your bullshit Admiral Salin, I gave him the benefit of 10 million gold coins, and he betrayed the 'Iron and Blood Battle Castle', but all the soldiers under his command mutinied, people ran away, and burned all the grain and grass, the first day I arrived in the city, I nibbled on popcorn for a day, do you think that taste good?。。。 My favorite is the lamb chops in the imperial capital. ”

Kylo showed a look of sudden realization, and a smile was on his face: "I see, our soldiers of the Vati Empire are the best on the continent... However, can't you ask your imperial capital to replenish food and grass?" The knights around Kylo all felt that it was not right, Carlin was the commander of the other side, how could Kylo discuss the other party's tactics with him? It seems that Carlin has put Kylo in a circle.

Karin looked hateful: "Don't you know that the logistics department of the Smart Empire is under the care of the Minister of War? How can he send me grain and grass? Last time, he replenished my forage enough for 30,000 war horses to eat for three years, but not a single rice was delivered, and he said what kind of grain and grass, and gave me grass, which is about the same as grain, do you want me to eat grass and fight? I am a noble magician, that damn old prince, when I go back, I have to seduce his youngest concubine." Carlin suddenly spoke rudely, but it made a group of soldiers feel very comfortable listening to it, it turns out that nobles can also curse...

Kylo suddenly, he smiled, "But, if you retreat, just retreat, why do you need me to cooperate?" He made up his mind to leave Carlin in the camp no matter what.

Carlin's face was so aggrieved that he almost cried: "The war book says that when you retreat, you must make sure that the enemy does not dare to chase after you, but I only brought 100,000 soldiers out this time, and you seem to have at least a million people here, how can you not chase after you? No way, I have to come and discuss with you." Moreover, and my military achievements are not enough, originally, after I returned to China, my father was going to let me join the Mage Association, but now, I can't do it. ”

Kylo blinked and smiled, "The wine is here, can you have a drink?"

Carlin didn't have the slightest aristocratic demeanor, grabbed a bottle of wine and poured it, then casually wiped the corners of his mouth with the sleeve of his robe, and whispered: "So, you cooperate, we all have benefits, one million gold coins, if I can enter the Mage Association, I will give you a million gold coins, how about it?"

Seeing the strange looks of the officers and soldiers next to him, Kylo roared awe-inspiringly: "God, are you bribing me? In public, you want to bribe me? This is an insult to me, I cannot tolerate it, dear Excellency, I ask to fight you in a duel." ”

Carlin's mouth pouted: "Don't pull it down, I'm not a knight, I don't duel, duel can only be fought between knights, hum, are you a person who doesn't understand anything?。。。 In fact, the matter is very simple, as long as you don't pursue us when we retreat, and then burn a fire under the 'Iron and Blood Castle', it is best to burn me to death about 10,000 soldiers, I can tell my father that the Van Empire has conquered the 'Iron Blood War Castle' with absolute superiority and forced me to withdraw my army, but I have also killed and injured at least one million troops of the Van Empire, in this case, Your Majesty will definitely reward me. ”

Kylo sneered: "You have no food, if I attack now, you will be a dead end, this kind of bluffing thing will not do us any good, why should I cooperate with you?"

Carlin shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Then, just do what Admiral Shalin wants, I brought 100,000 soldiers, 10,000 magicians, plus 50,000 soldiers in the city who surrendered to us, let's fight overnight, anyway, we are going to die, it is better to die to make you uncomfortable... It's like my first year, I'm going to lose it anyway, so I found seven little girls, and I lost it vigorously, this is my creed as a man, if I can't live, I will die a beautiful and brilliant death. ”

Kylo was stunned, if it was really Shalin who led the army to rush over, and it was commanded by Shalin himself, this army of 530,000 Xu was not enough for him to eat, a large flock of sheep, no matter what, it was impossible to compare with a group of lions. There are 160,000 people, and among them there are 10,000 terrible magicians...

Everyone present stopped talking, and all the officers and soldiers knew that the scare significance of their army here was greater than the practical significance, and if they could not scare the enemy, then the enemy could eat themselves... A person with a normal brain would not attack more than 500,000 people with 160,000 people, but if the other party has no food and is afraid that he will follow them to chase and kill, the possibility of dying is very great. Especially Sha Lin was originally a famous fierce general in the empire, otherwise he would not have let him guard the 'Iron and Blood Battle Castle'.

Kylo was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "I can't trust you, so please stay." His hand, with a fierce afterburner, simply grabbed Carlin's wrist.

Carlin screamed, "Oh my God, it hurts, my hand is broken... Damn, can you have some grace for an elegant magician?"

Kylo was startled by his scream, and was a little relieved, yes, the other party is just a magician, why be so nervous, he is the highest knight, according to his own strength, at this distance, even the most advanced magician can't escape his fist, why be nervous?

Carlin muttered a few words, presumably greeting Kylo's mother, grandmother, and other characters, and then said, "I can swear, swear by the gods we believe in, that everything I say is true, and that the god of wisdom (the god of conspiracy) is watching from heaven, and if I tell a lie, I will not die well... What is the use of you leaving me? at most I will receive a ransom from my father, but I can give you this ransom, and some of my lovers are duchesses, and they have given me enough gold to pay my ransom. ”

Just as Kylo was about to speak, Carlin said quickly, "Besides, that bastard of Shalin told me that if I don't go back before dark, he will automatically take control of the army and start attacking you. That miscellaneous man is the Minister of War, and he wants to kill me, so he won't care about my life, he will definitely bring someone to kill him. ”

Kylo pondered for a long time, speechless.

Carlin said cautiously: "Actually, as long as you set a fire, and then cut a little soldier's arms and legs, and smear blood stains on the city wall, then it will become that you have recaptured the 'Iron and Blood Battle Castle' after a bloody battle, isn't it? ”

Kylo shouted, "Just kidding, can you kill our legions in large numbers?"

Carlin immediately explained, "God, I don't mean to insult your army for fighting, but after all, we now have the 'Second City on the Continent', which you built yourself, and it is said that it can never be conquered, isn't it? Especially when you report that after a bloody battle and the sacrifice of 300,000 or 500,000 or 600,000 soldiers, you finally took the castle, which is a great achievement... Is that the pension? . . Hehe, you can eat millions of gold coins if you eat short, right?"

Kylo smiled and nodded unconsciously. He suddenly realized that his behavior was too easy for the soldiers to misunderstand, so he quickly straightened his face and drank: "Eat short? Are you such a shameless person to me? Can we, the knights of the Van Empire, behave like this?"

Carlin shrugged his shoulders: "Don't you want it, then give it to me, I'm going to buy a new style of jewelry for my little princess, cooperate or not." Anyway, you can't imprison me, I'm a high-level mage, and your Van Empire lacks excellent mage talents, so you can't seal my power. Hum... ”

Kylo roared, "What if I kill you now?"

Carlin rolled his eyes, "A knight is never allowed to kill his captives, this is what is written in your Imperial Knights' Code. In particular, a knight is not allowed to kill a captive who is powerless to resist, otherwise he will be stripped of his knighthood and title... Well, the other problem is, if I die, that bastard of Sharin will be happy to get my military power, well, that's right. ”

Without waiting for Kylo to reply, Carlin spoke again: "It is even more impossible for you to detain me and exchange me for my family's ransom, as I said, after dark, Shalin will gain control of the army. ”

Kylo slowly let go of Karin's hand and took a few of his subordinates, and the golden knights walked to the distance to discuss.

Carlin looked at the poorly armored soldiers around him with a grin, picked up a bottle of good wine from Kylo's orderly again, and poured it down. The drunkard among the recruits in the neighborhood shouted in his heart, "Damn it, doesn't the magician not drink? Why does this guy get drunk so fast? It's almost like us." ”

After a long time, Kylo walked over slowly, and whispered, "Brothers, do you have any opinions?" He had to ask the soldiers for their opinions, damn Carlin told his plan in public, but this was another unseemly plan that required some kind of tacit agreement between the two sides, and Kylo didn't want the soldiers to misunderstand his character.

To Kylo's surprise, the recruits all showed a relieved virtue on their faces, as if they didn't want to fight, they were much more relaxed. However, Kylo was also a little scared in his heart, if Carlin hadn't come over and told this strange plan, he would have died with such an army against the army led by Shalin.

Seeing that the soldiers had no objections, Kylo smiled: "Then, Lord Carlin, please take the oath officially." ”

Carlin fell to his knees solemnly, and according to the etiquette of the Smart Empire's worship of the gods, a faint cyan magical aura appeared on his body, and solemnly swore an oath: "In the name of the god of wisdom, after General Kylo cooperates with us in retreating, so that I can get enough military merit to be promoted to the Mage Association, our whole army retreats and leaves." Iron and Blood Battle Castle', must not launch any offensive against the Van Imperial Army, if there is a violation, then I will be destroyed, I will not be able to die, and let me be abandoned by all the beauties in the world, I will not be able to catch up with my little princess in this life. ”

Ray and the others almost laughed at Carlin's strange oath, but luckily they realized that this was a barracks, and they were able to control their laughter. Carlin patted the dust on his clothes and stood up, smiled and said, "Okay, you can give me a little reassurance too, don't you need to swear?"

Kylo fell to his knees on one knee, drew his long sword and shouted loudly: "We will act according to the agreement, you give up the 'Iron and Blood Battle Castle', we must not pursue, I guarantee the truth of my oath with the honor of knights, the honor of my family, and my blood." ”

Carlin laughed, and quickly took the bottles of good wine that the orderly was holding in his arms, and turned to walk outside, many soldiers tried to intercept him, but Kylo waved his hand slightly, and they suddenly stopped again.

Carlin struggled to climb onto his horse with a pile of bottles in his arms, then glanced at Kylo. Kylo walked over quickly, only to hear Carlin smirk and say, "If I were you, I would send all the onlookers to the front line and let me kill them... I killed them, more or less a real credit, and you killed them, and saved the matter of being discovered today... Well, I'm talking nonsense, God, forgive me. ”

Carlin's leg caught the horse's belly, and the horse galloped slowly. Kylo stared deeply at his back for a moment, and turned back to the camp with a smile on his face.

Sitting on his horse, Carlin muttered in a low voice, "God, vile and filthy, you taught me... Well, I can't take my oath seriously, those idiots of the Van Empire, don't you know that the oath made by the nobles of our Smart Empire can be eaten as vegetables? ”
