Chapter 149: The Python of the Wasteland
The mere men of Möngke immediately closed the four gates of the fortress, and the northern gate had been breached by battering rams, so the thick wooden bars used to block the gates had to be replaced by something else. If it is discovered by those light cavalry, it is estimated that it will be a breakthrough.
The three captains, Hei, Jasmine, and Charlie, didn't realize that the city gates were closed, and their mercenaries had stormed the dungeon, where some food and alcohol were still there. The rest of the fort was empty, and it seemed that the bodies of the soldiers who had guarded the fort had already been disposed of.
Fett immediately withdrew in the direction of Patrick with more than 200 of his mercenaries, he did not know how many of the enemies who had set the trap were still hiding in the dark, and the reckless Lord Möngke estimated that he had fallen into a trap and was very dangerous. If he was lucky, he might have been captured rather than killed in the night.
However, before Fidel had gone far, more than a dozen light cavalry chased after him! These light cavalry, with torches in one hand and light cavalry guns in the other, immediately stopped and watched from a distance after discovering Fidel's more than 200 retreating troops. Although Fidel's team didn't have many torches to illuminate, Ayana still drew a few arrowless arrows in the dark, aimed them at these East Oguna Imperial light cavalry who were seventy or eighty meters away, and shot them in the chest with unmistakable accuracy.
The light cavalry was taken aback, and after being shot down in an instant, they immediately fled into the distance. But when they were a hundred meters away, there was no way for AYANA to shoot so far. Then they wandered in the distance, watching the Potato Mercenary Group's every move.
"Damn! we're being targeted!" Squad Leader Leonard scolded in a low voice.
"No way, we don't have cavalry or heavy crossbowmen right now, we can't reach those guys!" Marcus also realized that their situation was quite passive, but there was nothing he could do.
Fed knew they could immediately disperse and escape, just extinguish the fire, break it to zero, and run in other directions. Even if the light cavalry had very good mobility, it was impossible for them to catch up with everyone at the same time, but if that were the case, then everyone would be in danger. Fed hesitated, he decided to let his men evacuate to the north first, leaving himself and dozens of mercenaries with bows and arrows, with the brothers Ayana and Marcus following him. Noor also asked to stay, and Fid allowed it.
"You all aim at Lao Tzu! kill one by one!" Marcus held a torch in each of his hands, and his view from this side was clear. While this allows the archer to see the approaching enemy, it also allows them to see their side of the situation without much effort.
Seeing that his men were far away, he slowly let his companions retreat to the north. Now the fortress is temporarily safe, but those who have left the fortress are in danger.
However, they didn't retreat far, and more light cavalry approached their dozens of rear troops. The group of light cavalry took out their javelins one after another, and wandered in three directions to observe, looking for a breakthrough. But because the distance between the bow and arrow was much farther than that of the javelin, these light cavalry could not succeed for a while.
And at this moment, a small group of light cavalry of less than a hundred people suddenly appeared behind Fidel! The first of them to appear in Fidel's vision was a cavalryman carrying the banner of the East Oguna Empire. However, all the cavalry stopped, only two cavalry slowly approached Fidel's side, and one of the cavalrymen shouted loudly: "Surrender immediately! This is General Saresa of the Oguna Empire! Lay down your arms and surrender to avoid death!"
Fei De swallowed his saliva, he didn't expect that the commander-in-chief of the East Oguna Empire's invading army, Saresa, would personally set a trap! If she guessed correctly, the reason why she was called the "Wasteland Python" must be because her march was extremely fast, coming and going without a trace, and she didn't expect to meet it today.
"Your Lord Möngke has been captured!Resisting again will only cost you more!" one of the approaching cavalrymen was still shouting, but Ayana had already raised her short wooden bow and aimed at the neck between the opponent's helmet and cuirass, and now the distance of less than fifty meters was enough to accurately hit the opponent's vital point.
Fidel blocked Ayana's shot with his hand, and he looked at the other man and shook his head slightly. Ayana had no choice but to put down the short wooden bow and wait for Fidel's instructions.
"I'm the Knights of the Church's Staff Officer, and the Deputy Head of the Potato Mercenary Regiment!" Fielder replied loudly, "If you can, allow me to surrender to General Saresa myself." ”
When the others heard this, they all showed stunned expressions, and even Ayana's eyes widened, unable to believe that Fid would immediately choose to surrender. Marcus said in a low voice: "Deputy Commander Fed, you won't really surrender, will you?" although they seem to have a lot of people, but we are all archers, even if they force an attack on us with their current strength, we will not necessarily lose!"
"Do you really want to surrender so soon?" Noor also advised Fidel, "I feel that the three mercenary groups of the fortress and Möngke's own soldiers will come to rescue us!
Feder ignored the crowd, he just waved his hand and silenced everyone. The hired archers, of course, were willing to save their lives at the first opportunity, and they lowered their bows one after another, gathered around, and waited for them to fall. On the contrary, Marcus and the others were still whispering to Fidel, although surrender was commonplace for mercenaries, but these rough men were not such mercenaries.
At this time, the two cavalrymen were already close enough to be clearly visible to the naked eye. The female cavalryman wearing light red women's scale armor held a flag with a blue background and the symbol of the Oguna Empire, which was not much different from the flag of the Western Oguna Empire with a white background and the symbol of the Oguna Empire, but it was just a different color.
The person next to the female cavalry was a knight, he pushed away the shield of the helmet, revealing thick eyebrows and big eyes, "Very good, since you are a staff officer of the Church Knights, you are not an enemy of our Oguna Empire! The knight's right hand, which had been holding the hilt of the sword, was released, and he dismounted first, and then took the reins of another man's horse to assist him in dismounting. Fidel noticed that the people of the Eastern Oguna Empire would call themselves the Oguna Empire, and it seemed that they did not recognize the emerging power in the West at all.
Feder looked back slightly to the south, where no more light cavalry was coming, and no sound was heard, but the hundred or so light cavalry who had surrounded them had gradually approached, almost to the distance where they could throw short javelins. He looked at Ayana, who no longer had any surprised expressions, and Fede gave the other party a look, and then looked at the two who had just dismounted. The fifteen-year-old nodded her head as if she didn't understand, and then flicked the string of her short wooden bow slightly, signaling that it was ready.
Fett's hands were spread out, and he slowly approached the two alone, under the loud advice of Marcus and the others.
At this time, the slender female cavalry had also come over, and she handed the blue banner of the Oguna Empire to the male knight, who followed behind the woman with a torch in one hand and a flag in the other.
"It's very good to know the times, but your subordinates still need to be trained, otherwise it will be boring. The woman approached slowly, wearing the kind of helmet that showed her cheeks and eyes, but protected the bridge of her head and nose, so that Fed could see the beautiful eyes and mouth.
Feder walked to a distance of nearly five meters before stopping, and the male knight angrily scolded the other party: "Don't you kneel down quickly when you see Lord Saresa?!" It wasn't until the male knight said this sentence that Fed confirmed that the tall beauty in front of him was the "Python of the Wasteland" Saresa, and he didn't expect that he would be able to face the invading commander of the East Oguna Empire tonight.
Saresa also saw Feyde's face clearly, and she smiled at the corners of her mouth, because under the background of the night and the flames, Fed's three-dimensional features and expressionless face became very tasteful, which is the smell that only older women can find.
"As long as you kneel down and surrender, I will allow you to join our formation, you must know that there are not many handsome guys like you who wear enchanted armor and hold enchanted swords," Saresa ignored the dissatisfaction of the male knight beside her, "By the way, your mercenary group is called"
Fei De suddenly kicked backwards and rushed over! Ayana immediately raised her short wooden bow and shot an arrow at the male knight's thigh!
