Chapter 412: Fake Mercenary Down
readx;
When Feder recalled the history of the Old Kingdom that his father had told, the old man also said something related to the Old Kingdom, and it was certain that the flag was the flag of the Old Kingdom, but not many people still recognized it, and most of them were people who were knowledgeable about history.

"The soldiers of the Duchy of Deramain, plus His Majesty's Knight Mercenary Regiment and some militia with the banner of the Old Kingdom, the answer behind it is coming. By the time Fenrir said this, Fed had already organized a story in his head, a story about the relationship between His Majesty's Knights and Mercenaries and the Old Kingdom.
It is rumored that His Majesty's Knight Mercenary Regiment is one of the most mysterious mercenary regiments on the mainland, and their leader is the legendary Blackwing King, a royal descendant with a pair of fleshy wings. There are actually not many rumors about the Black Wing King, after all, these rumors are also from the mercenaries who left the mercenary group after the establishment of His Majesty's Knight Mercenary Group. Those who had been knights and later joined the mercenary group had mentioned that they had been lucky enough to meet the Blackwing King, so they were willing to serve the mercenary group willingly, not for the deputy leader Marvin.
It is rumored that the appearance and facial features of the Blackwing King are no different from those of ordinary people, but he has horns on his head and fleshy wings on his back that cannot be hidden. He can fly high like a bird, and he can also flap his wings and rise slowly. If he is a human being, he must be an outlier among human beings, after all, he is the only one who can fly in the sky.
It is also believed that the Blackwing King is a magician who has learned mystical magic, and that his wings and horns are nothing more than creations of magic, and that his flesh is as fragile as that of a normal person, and that he can be shot with a single crossbow arrow. However, no matter what the true appearance of the Black Wing King was, it could not hinder the strength of His Majesty's knight mercenary group.
At its peak, His Majesty's Knight Mercenary Regiment used to have a scale of 2,000 people, and these mercenaries were all knights, and no matter how poor they were, they were knight families or quasi-knights. Equipped with the finest horses and armor, and armed with traditional riding spears, they are an absolute nightmare for all mercenaries. However, the royal knight mercenary group is relatively low-key, except for some mercenary groups, they will basically not get involved in the struggle between the nobles and lords of various countries. This also makes them the mercenary guild, the only mercenary group without a specific sphere of influence, their war horses roam freely on the continent, and no one dares to despise them.
"The Blackwing King is the elder brother of the last king of the Old Kingdom, a man with wings," whispered an older merchant, "and it is not surprising that there is nothing that is not king, for no one can accept that his king has wings." ”
Octavia drew her dagger again when she saw the mercenaries approaching, "So what is this for?
That's right, if the leader of His Majesty's Knight Mercenary Regiment is really a royal family of the old kingdom, then the restoration of the kingdom is a very possible thing. After all, the old kingdom has only been divided for fifty years, and the Blackwing King may still live long enough and leave a royal blood for the old kingdom. Although most of the people of the Old Kingdom era are dead, it is not excluded that there are descendants of subjects who were loyal to the Old Kingdom who are still thinking about the restoration of the kingdom and the people who reunited the old kingdom divided into three principalities into one country.
"What is the full name of the Old Kingdom?"
"The Kingdom of Surlon," replied the older merchant, "or the Kingdom of Surlon, depending on what you think is convenient, no one cares what it's called anyway, we only use the old Kingdom's national calendar when we use the calendar." ”
The kingdom of Surlon, Fidel had indeed seen the name in the books. In fact, a disappearing regime cannot leave an imprint on the hearts of the next generation, and even if it survives for one more generation, it will only take a little more time, and it will eventually dissipate in the long river of history. This is also the attitude in Field's mind, if a country has fallen, then reviving it is only fuit, after all, it did not succeed in standing in the first place.
"Captain Fed, the mercenary guild's side is going to go. "Claude carried a barrel without a head, and if he didn't know what it was, he would have thought he was just a porter.
The Blue Flame Mercenary Group was below the battlefield, and the Guinea Pig Mercenary Group was above the battlefield, and the two mercenary groups, which were mainly melee troops, began to approach the enemy formation with less than 5,000 people in a semi-encircled manner. The female mercenaries of the widow mercenary group took out their crossbow machines and began to aim at the side of the knight mercenary group. There was also a change on the side of His Majesty's Knights Mercenary Regiment, where the militia and the soldiers of the Duchy of Dramain hid behind the mercenary knights, who numbered less than three hundred, and the mercenary knights were lined up in a thin row, like a pile of sand on a piece of paper.
"Those hundreds of mercenaries are going to charge head-on!?" Fenrir couldn't help but stand up a little, he was quite knowledgeable about the formation, and he saw through the plan of the weaker side at a glance, His Majesty's Knight Mercenary Regiment planned to let the infantry stay in the rear to resist the enemy surrounded from the upper and lower sides, and then charge the most elite cavalry towards the widow mercenary group with little melee ability.
Fett and Patrick also saw the intention of His Majesty's knight mercenary group in a short time, but before all the onlookers could react, those three hundred mercenary knights raised their riding spears, like a thin net, and pounced on the widow mercenary group from the front of the battlefield!
The Blue Flame Mercenary Group and the Guinea Pig Mercenary Group probably didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to attack with such a small number of troops, so they immediately chose to surround the three hundred cavalry, while the more than 4,000 infantry in the rear of His Majesty's Knight Mercenary Group were still watching.
"It's purely to send them to death," Octavia saw that the mercenaries of the Blue Flame Mercenary Regiment were all swordsmen who used long swords, and those who didn't wear shields and wore light swords were not afraid of cavalry, "Are these mercenary knights planning to sacrifice themselves in exchange for those behind them to escape?"
Octavia's question was quickly answered, as the weakest militia was retreating into the distance, and only a thousand soldiers remained on the battlefield wearing the uniforms of the Duchy of Deramain. However, even if this situation was discovered by the three leaders of the Mercenary Guild, the Blue Flame Mercenary Group and the Guinea Pig Mercenary Group still ignored the retreating enemy at the rear of the battlefield, and instead besieged the three hundred cavalry who had rushed to the front of the widow mercenary group with more than 10,000 mercenaries.
The mercenaries on both sides looked like they were covered with flour, but what they didn't expect was that those "minced meat" would break through the frontal resistance of the widow mercenary group in a very short period of time and rush out of a bloody way.
Fei De could vaguely see that the mercenary knights had all turned into individual combat, and each of them was chased and surrounded by dozens of mercenaries, but these mercenary knights sitting on heavily armored war horses and wearing strong armor on their shoulders did not panic in the slightest. They take advantage of the mobility of their horses and the unmatched range of their rifles to easily sweep down large numbers of enemies on the move. The crossbow was now useless, the walking mercenaries armed with long swords and thick shields were like babies who had not yet learned to walk, and the hundreds of mercenary knights became clever puppies beside the babies. No matter how desperately those foot mercenaries chased after them, they couldn't catch up with the mercenary knights who had broken through the siege.
The mercenaries of the King's Knight Mercenary Regiment could obviously escape from the battlefield with mobility, but after they successfully broke through, they continued to circle the more than 10,000 mercenaries, trying to lure them into the distance. Everyone watching the battlefield realized that they were only doing it to stall for time until the weakest militia had fled the battlefield.
More than a thousand soldiers of the Duchy of Draman, who were not attacked, also attacked the center of the battlefield, but they were as vulnerable as sheep in the mouth of a hungry wolf, and they were quickly crushed by the guns and shields of the guinea pig mercenary group. Compared to the hundreds of hired knights, the power they could contribute was too small.
"This time it's really dead," Patrick said as he took off his mask when no one was looking, letting the cool winter breeze blow across his noseless face, "The militia that left with the flag of the Old Kingdom is exactly what His Majesty's Knight Mercenary Regiment wants to protect." ”
Octavia: "It's not an exaggeration to call them 'employers', except that the lives of these knights and the soldiers of the Duchy of Dramain have been surrendered. ”
"Fifty years later, the Old Kingdom still has these powers, but unfortunately they are too weak for even the mercenaries to defeat," Claude frowned, he often had compassion for the weak, "Or is the mercenary guild already stronger than I imagined?"
Fidel could already guess that the soldiers of the Duchy of Dramain were most likely the subordinates of some nobleman who cared about the Old Kingdom. The man who was a nobleman of the Duchy of Dlamain may have been on the battlefield, or he might be on trial for the Duchy of Dlaman, but no matter what, he gave everything he had, even if it was a feeble force.
One by one, the mercenary knights fell into the encirclement with no way to escape, and the finest horses were stabbed to death by indiscriminate spears and swords. The three hundred mercenary knights who had willingly volunteered to be bait had collapsed after struggling for a long time, and there was not a single one left. They didn't see a single runaway running away, the only ones who escaped were the militiamen. The mercenaries who really belong to His Majesty's Knight Mercenary Regiment may only have those three hundred mercenary knights, but they obviously have the consciousness of knights and have things that must be guarded.
And the mercenaries of the mercenary guild are obviously still venting their anger, and they keep raising and stabbing the weapons in their hands at the mercenary knights who have fallen to the ground, until they chop the mercenary knights they have worked with into meat sauce. Even those war horses did not let go, and the screams and roars of the war horses spread the farthest, and the two old men could only hold their ears and not listen to the most cruel sounds.
The people of the Chamber of Commerce hurriedly pulled the others into the grove, they were afraid that the mercenaries would rush to this side after venting their anger. However, Fei De had noticed that several leaders of the Mercenary Guild were in the whole line, and as the leaders, they would not easily lose their minds.
"The mercenaries of His Majesty's Knight Mercenary Regiment are not mercenaries at all, they are fake mercenaries, but they act in the name of a mercenary group. Patrick sighed.
Octavia said: "The same will be true of the civilian mercenary groups in the future, this is just the trend of the times, and mercenaries and mercenary groups will only be a name to deceive others." ”
