Volume 3 The Vortex of Strife Chapter 361 Two Snakes Devouring (Part II)

By the time Vittorio arrived in front of Toto, the small castle of Midtown had already been captured, and half of the Imperial defenders had chosen to surrender, while the other half had chosen to fight the mercenaries to the death. Both sides lost equal numbers, and although this result was not as good as Vittorio's bloodless victory over the "Left City", it was also Toto's first satisfactory answer as squadron leader.

"We must begin the move to the east immediately," Vittorio told Winotki of the news brought by Luca's men, "Captain Feder has arrived at the place where Count Camhen is, and tonight's events have changed. ”

"Don't worry, don't we have any worries anymore?" Franklin pointed to the tied up Imperial defenders, as well as the captured patrol cavalry, "Count Camhen has an army of 50,000, and he has not sent many troops to attack the 'Right City', and he has been unwilling to cooperate with us, he is still hiding in the barracks. "Winoteki and Toto thought the same, after all, judging from the books, even if the three mercenary groups of the Mercenary Guild suddenly appeared, in terms of troops, the Mageni Principality's side still had the advantage, so I don't know if those three mercenary groups hide any terrible strength.

Vittorio had long studied the mercenary groups of the Mercenary Guild, especially those active in the center of the continent. The guinea pig mercenary group, the beautiful boy mercenary group, and the widow mercenary group that appeared this time are all very active types, and the reason why they are strong is related to their own "unity" and "simplicity".

The mercenaries of the American Boy Mercenary Group are all men, and they are all young, handsome, and well-proportioned men. Some of the mercenaries of the mercenary group are equipped with war horses, and most of those war horses are decorated with colorful decorations, like a beautiful gift. Most of the other mercenaries of the mercenary group use swords and shields as their main weapons, and rarely use bows and crossbows. They are good at melee combat and short-range assault, and most of the young and handsome male mercenaries have good martial arts, and everyone has qualities and talents that ordinary mercenaries do not have, especially in melee combat, excellent personal abilities will change the tide of battle.

The mercenaries of the Widow Mercenary Regiment are all female widows, and these "Widow Mercenaries" are good at using crossbows and slender blades, similar to the former Pear Blossom Mercenary Regiment, the Widow Mercenary Regiment can exert its maximum power when keeping a distance from the enemy. The widows were known for their speed, so a simple reckless charge would only be easily dodged by these female mercenaries armed with crossbow machines, and then defeated. Even in areas where the terrain is unadvantageous, these female mercenaries will find the best place to shoot at the first time, and they will be able to reload the next shot faster than ordinary crossbowmen. It is said that they would even pretend to surrender when the enemy threatened them, and then draw the weapon hidden behind them and stab them into the heart of pity.

The leader of the guinea pig mercenary group is called Birrell, this alcoholic mercenary has a strange appearance, and his subordinates are also those men who are not treated well in life. Most of Birrell's subordinates are short and fat, and their appearance is not good-looking, which is the opposite of the beautiful young mercenary group. However, Birrell prefers to recruit such mercenaries, who are able to erect heavy armor with their bodies due to their short stature and thick fat. Armed with long shields and spears, they often huddle together to form small circles one after another. Even if the iron cavalry of the East Oguna Empire were to charge at them, they would be in vain because of the flawless "round ball", and those spears sticking out of their shields were not easy to mess with.

Compared with the ordinary mercenary groups all over the mainland, the nine mercenary groups of the mercenary guild all have a very strong "personal style", and the mercenaries under the command of each mercenary group are like the doppelgangers of their leader, this unity and simplicity make them invincible, but the thing that other mercenaries are most afraid of is not the mercenaries who are very distinctive, but their leaders.

As early as the beginning of the establishment of the Mercenary Guild, there were many mercenary groups on the mainland who wanted to join it and become part of the guild. However, the mercenary groups that were able to join the guild in the end did not seem to have absolute strength to overwhelm the other mercenary groups, let alone compare with the regular army of the nobles. However, what makes them stand out is not the overall strength of these mercenary groups, but their leaders - the mysterious Pillar Priest, the legendary Blackwing King, the swordsman who pursues the supreme sword, the cold-blooded and ruthless beautiful widow... These mercenary leaders are all stronger than ordinary mercenary leaders, and their personal abilities and charisma attract more mercenaries to join the mercenary guild, and the guild also expands its power through their fame and influence. And the guild leader who can bring together these unruly mercenaries with different characteristics is the most mysterious existence, and people on the mainland will guess that the person who can command the nine mercenary groups must have more terrifying strength. So over time, even if the president of the Mercenary Guild never shows his face, everyone will have a deep awe of this organization.

"Are we really going to clash head-on with those three mercenary groups?" After listening to Vittorio's brief introduction, Winotki's already small self-confidence instantly cleared. Although Ligu, Toto, and Franklin had heard of the strength of the Mercenary Guild for a long time, it was the first time they had learned about the specific characteristics of these mercenaries.

Vittorio said as he ran his fingers through his hair, "You also know that Captain Feder once stabbed James, the leader of the MONOCULUS mercenary group, and that leader named James should be the weakest of the nine. But no matter how powerful these three mercenary groups are, and how strong their leaders are, they are all just humans..."

"As long as they can't let the white lightning come down!" Patrick's voice came from the side, "I didn't expect you guys to go so well, this is definitely good news." "None of the captains except Patrick had experienced the Battle of Doret, but they all knew the magic that Virgen Golia used in that battle. Those magic shook the world, making the people of the continent remember that there were some unknowable and uncontrollable mysterious forces in this world. Patrick's words also made the frightened captains come back to their senses a little - the enemy in front of them is not invincible, even if the opponent is a powerful mercenary guild, there will definitely be a day when they will be defeated.

Patrick told everyone about Fidd's intentions, "Vittorio, Fed, he has a lot of trust in your abilities, what do you think we should do?" and the rest of the captains looked at the youngest man.

"I have sent a white dove to Nur who stayed in the camp, and asked him to rush to the west of the regular army camp of the principality with the rest of the mercenaries to support the Count of Camheng from the rear," Vittorio rode the shortest warhorse, and all the captains had to look down at him, "But since Captain Fid has met the American boy mercenary group, it can be speculated that the remaining two guild mercenary groups will definitely appear in the other two directions of the regular army camp of the principality, forming an encirclement with the cavalry of the East Oguna Empire." ”

"If that's the case, we'll only have a quarter of the total number of enemies in front of us!"

"No problem, as long as the Earl of Campham can hold out a little longer, we will be able to defeat those who are inferior to us. ”

Vittorio shook his head, "The crux of the matter is not here, I suspect that someone has reported to the enemy, otherwise the Imperial Army, which is obviously inferior to us, would never rashly choose to surround the camp of the regular army of the Duchy." ”

"On my way here, I noticed the situation in the 'Right City', where the banner of the Eastern Oguna Empire was still planted, and I am afraid that the troops sent by the Count of Camhen have been swallowed up by the enemy's traps. Patrick pushed the mask as he began to estimate the change in the strength of the two sides.

Vittorio was silent, he had already decided that there were traitors lurking in the camp of the Count of Camhen. But in any case, the mercenary Guardians cannot take half a step back this time, the soldiers commanded by Count Kanheng are the last force of the Duchy of Magini, and if they are also wiped out, then the Duchy of Mageni will not be far from the day of complete disintegration.

"Fide, this win is something we have to win, and if I had to choose someone I could count on, it would be you. Vittorio thought to himself.

Just after Patrick and Vittorio converged, the Widow Mercenary Regiment, the Guinea Pig Mercenary Regiment, and the regular army of the East Oguna Empire also launched an attack on the camp where Count Camheng was located. The troops gathered from three directions did not rush to the barracks, and they all learned that the American Boy Mercenary Group had been attacked.

Reese remembered her relationship with Orlando, and she immediately sent a team of 1,000 people to ask the deputy commander Myra to rush to support Orlando, "There are not many surprises on the side of the regular army of the Duchy of Magini, we only need to wait a little to take the head of the Count of Camhen." ”

The rugged and wild deputy head of the regiment looked at the barracks, "Commander, what if the enemy is the potato mercenary group that the guild leader values?"

"Don't worry about it, they're not from the Mercenary Guild yet, but you don't want to kill Fed, it's better to capture him alive. ”

"Understood. ”

At the same time, the three thousand horseback mercenaries commanded by Fei De had already divided into two groups and rushed towards the American boy mercenary group from different directions. Fiddle, wielding his two-handed sword, had already made up his mind after Patrick's departure, and without the slightest hesitation, he was the first to charge into the enemy line, and he was also shot by several crossbow arrows. It's just that as soon as those crossbow arrows touched the "black flash", they were frozen and couldn't hurt them in the slightest.

Even if the beautiful boy mercenary group has an advantage in terms of strength, how can these young mercenaries with a flower-like appearance stop the galloping cavalry. Orlando's newly arranged formation was instantly disrupted by the mounted mercenaries, and he, like his mercenary subordinates, had no way to retreat but to counterattack after dodging the charge of the horses. The two sides soon became a mess, and the number of mercenaries of the American Young Mercenary Regiment was drastically reduced, but the mounted mercenaries were no longer invincible after stopping the charge, and the men next to Feide also fell in the melee.

"Orlando... That's Orlando, the enemy's commander, right?" Vega, who was beside Luca, saw the most handsome and brightly armored enemy at a glance.

"Vega, it's time for us to make a meritorious service!"
