Chapter Forty-Eight: The Battle Begins

A child?

No, it should be said that it is a toddler.

He was wearing a military uniform of the Nuolan Empire, holding a sharp short knife in his hand, and the rank of second lieutenant on his shoulder clearly told him that this young boy was an officer of the Empire.

"It's ridiculous. ”

A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Theodore's mouth: "The Imperial Army is so exhausted that it needs to send a young child to the battlefield, and it seems that only a young child who doesn't know the height of the sky will give the order to meet it." ”

He felt like he had earned it.

A young boy officer who didn't know whether he was alive or dead gave an order to hit a stone with an egg, didn't he really think that he didn't have enough military merits, and specially asked a child to bring a detachment of troops to send him military merits?

The answer to Theodore was a new command from Vega.

"The 312 formation unfolds. ”

Vega looked straight ahead, even the huge 500-man force did not let him blink an eye, his right hand was raised slightly, and when the other party entered the attack range, the immature voice lingered in everyone's ears: "Attack!"

Order.

The crossbowman behind the Giant Shield pulls the trigger of the crossbow.

Woooo

Arrows were fired in volleys.

Fired using a well-developed hand crossbow, the powerful penetration power allowed a single arrow to penetrate two United Kingdom soldiers.

Plop Plop –

Bloody flowers stained the ground with snow.

Before the royal army could charge in front of Vega, it lost more than 60 soldiers.

312 formation.

This is the most basic small combat formation of the Empire, with the shield man in front of the block, our crossbowmen waiting for the opportunity in the middle of the formation, when a salvo is completed, the last spearman fills the crossbowman's position for defense, giving the crossbowman time to reload the arrows.

Wait for the crossbowman to reload, and then you can cover the spearmen and shieldmen in turn.

Where did the cannon fodder troops of the United Kingdom know this, their combat method is still stuck in a swarm of charges, not only do they not have a crossbowman squad responsible for covering, nor do they have any defensive shield front row, this round of salvo naturally made them suffer a big loss.

"Damn. ”

Theodori, who was in the lead, was forced to stop by the crossbow arrows.

Although he was a professional, and the crossbow bolts could not cause him damage, the huge impact still made him take several steps back, and at this time he was no longer naΓ―ve to think that the Imperial Army was really a cannon fodder unit like him.

This is simply the backbone of the Imperial Army.

First look at the opponent's sophisticated equipment, strong combat ability, and mental quality in the face of danger, and then look at the fact that in addition to the numerical superiority on his side, it is almost equivalent to a naked soldier......

This appearance is indeed a bit miserable.

The quality is not good, the number of people is to make up.

Although the overall quality of the soldiers is indeed 108,000 miles behind the Imperial Army, Theodore didn't think about letting the boiled duck fly, and more than 500 soldiers can't eat the backbone of the Imperial Army of 130 people?

What's more, he's still a professional.

Thinking of this, Theodore's battle anger erupted, and he rushed towards Vega's troops with his crossed sword.

He was very fast, and he was seriously out of touch with the troops.

But Theodore didn't think about it so much, he had to destroy the battle formation of the Imperial army before the second volley of the crossbowmen, otherwise even if he was outnumbered, he would not be able to withstand the consumption of the crossbowmen.

At this time, Vega stood in front of him.

Theodore was undaunted, and a smile was already on his lips.

Although he felt a trace of magic from Vega's body, and he could be sure that Vega was a professional, he didn't think that a ten-year-old child could be so strong.

A sword in the air.

Gallop down.

The sword slashed down Vega's head from top to bottom like Mount Tai's top.

Due to the strength of the cross longsword, if Vega uses a short knife to block hard, I am afraid that even people with knives will fly out, if he chooses to dodge, Theodore is also ready to kill with a backhand.

3m, 2m, 1m......

Just when Theodore thought he was winning, Vega moved.

Instead of dodging or using a short knife to block, he abandoned any defenses and swung his short knife straight for Theodore's heart.

What is this trying to do?

The sword is significantly longer, and it is absolutely impossible if you want to die together. The end result was probably the long sword that slashed Vega's head off, rather than Vega's short knife stabbing him in the heart first.

It's still a kid after all.

Theodore seemed to see the goddess of victory beckoning.

Bang.

A loud bang echoed.

Theodore's longsword slammed into a translucent shield.

What is it?

As a professional, he certainly understood that this was the mage's exclusive defense, the mage's shield.

Theodore's smile froze, he never realized that Vega was actually a magician, a magician who didn't use spells to crush directly, actually pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, pretending to be a professional in close combat, do you still want to nod face?

Strike.

Vega's dagger struck back and stabbed Theodore in the heart.

Kill with a single sword.

If you follow the script and attack in this way of dooming, then it must be Vega who will die. However, Theodore didn't expect that Vega actually hid a mage shield that could be activated at any time, adding the crushing of the level, so he didn't even have a chance to use the second move and died directly under Vega's knife.

I was shocked.

After killing Theodore, the unknown power in Vega's brain grew a little stronger.

The mind moved.

Vega found that his mage's shield was actually more solidified, and the speed of release was 1/5 faster than the original, it seems that killing ordinary units to obtain magic power, killing professionals can obtain the 'unknown power' in the brain.

Set your sights on the Kingdom Army, which is already approaching.

Vega couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sure enough, the order of the regimental headquarters was not wrong, where is there any powerful professional in this cannon fodder unit, a second-level trainee has reached the sky, and he is still worried about meeting an incapable opponent in vain.

A sinister smile appeared on Vega's face.

After harvesting the 'Unknown Power', it's time to start harvesting the magic power, and those 500 lives are enough for him to be promoted to Level 4 Apprentice.

The short knife is pinned to the waist.

Vega used the captured trophies Cross Longsword as a scepter on the ground: "Order, all the soldiers of the 232nd Company retreat 300 meters, and I am responsible for clearing these 500 Kingdom troops alone." ”

"What?"

The adjutant was stunned for a moment, and then said excitedly: "Company commander, of course we understand your good intentions for caring for your subordinates, but even if you are a professional, this is too risky, after all, the magic power of long-term combat will be exhausted, please let me wait to fight together." ”

The soldiers were moved and said in unison: "Please let me and others fight together." ”

Sometimes it's not a good thing for subordinates to be too loyal, Vega rubbed his temples helplessly: "These 500 kingdom troops are enough to clear them with my strength, there is no need to do fearless casualties." ”

"But ......"

Vega said in an irrefutable tone, "Adjutant, carry out the order!"
