Chapter 806: Attack, Attack
The guards in the caravan were not novices, and when they heard the shout, they immediately got up from the ground, picked up their weapons, and ran to the barricade, and the archers also took their bows and arrows, and looked out cautiously to find their targets.
The ordinary people and villagers in the convoy also woke up one after another, at first they didn't understand what was going on, but when they saw the nervous looks of the caravan guards around them, they immediately understood what was going to happen, and they shrank in horror one by one in the places around the barricade where they could block their bodies.
Cassirer then loudly ordered the mercenaries to extinguish all the fires in the camp with mud so that the enemies outside would not see the situation through the firelight, and then he arranged the personnel in the appropriate positions as Sylvia had instructed when he left.
After all this was done, Cassirer looked at Sylvia and Leo's tent again, but Leo did not come out of the tent at the moment, as if the outside movement was cut off by the tent cloth.
Although Cassirer didn't think the approaching aristocratic personal guards disguised as bandits were a difficult thing to deal with, he still wanted Leo to make a move, because as long as Leo did, the matter would be over quickly.
He was also present when he summoned otherworldly monsters at the Sorceress's Manor that day, and he saw with his own eyes how Leo slashed those powerful monsters one by one like mowing grass.
Although Sylvia is already regarded as the most powerful knight in the world in various folklore in the Duchy of Touscent, because she has defeated and killed dozens of bandits by herself on more than one occasion, and has led the Knights of Light on the battlefield of Belhaven to easily annihilate several times her army, Cassirer is well aware that the truly most powerful person is actually Leo, and his strength is the kind that makes his opponents desperate.
However, no matter how strong Leo is, it is useless, and now it seems that Leo has no intention of making a move, so Cassirer looked at the woods where Sylvia disappeared before.
Sylvia took all the seven wandering knights in the caravan, apparently preparing to use these wandering knights to attack the enemy, but for the average person, a team of only eight knights would be of little use against an enemy with a rough count of two or three hundred outside.
However, Cassirer, who has also personally experienced the powerful Sylvia, knows very well that Sylvia on the ground is very strong, but Sylvia who is riding a horse and entering the state of spear raid is even more powerful, and he has no doubt that when those people outside show their flaws, Sylvia can lead the seven wandering knights and wipe them all out.
Soon the people outside had already approached a position about four hundred meters away from the convoy and stopped.
By the light of the torches in the other party's hands, the people in the convoy could see clearly the vague images of those on the other side.
I saw that those people were dressed very similarly to ordinary bandits, but the careful Cassirer could find some differences, and when those people stopped, the real military people quickly settled down, and the other people who were still moving around should be the real bandits recruited by the other party.
"Four hundred and forty-three people in all!" At this time, Reggier suddenly spoke: "There are four hundred and forty-three people on the other side, ninety-eight should be soldiers, and the rest are bandits. ”
"It's not easy to deal with!" Geralt also seemed to be able to see the situation on the other side, he turned his head to look at the thirty or so guards in the camp who had shown panicked expressions, and then at the people who were protected by the barricade, and said in a deep voice: "If we don't come, they may be finished." ”
"They're going on the attack!" Reggier said, pointing ahead.
I saw a group of bandits composed of more than a dozen people waving the torches in their hands, rushing out of the opposite team, and then let out a strange cry, rushing to the barrier, when they reached a distance of more than 20 meters in front of the barrier, enough to see each other clearly, the horse's head instantly turned, ran around the edge of the barrier, and threw something into the barrier while making a strange noise, judging from the smell, it seemed to be some items such as fire oil.
Some ordinary people in the barricade were already frightened by the strange screams of the bandits, and when the things they threw hit the ground, many of them couldn't help but let out frightened cries because of the splashed liquid falling on their bodies, and these frightened cries made the bandits outside even more excited, and the strange screams made louder.
"Damn! it's all fire oil, they don't want the goods at all, they want to burn us all here!" one of the bounty hunters shouted in panic when he smelled the oil at all.
The others were aware of this, and they let out cries of terror, and many experienced people immediately said that the ground sprinkled with fire oil was covered with earth.
Just as the robbers had turned around twice and threw all the oil in their hands into the barricade, they saw that they were about to throw the torches in their hands and light the oil they had just started.
However, before the man who was the leader among them could set an example and recognize the torch, he saw an arrow shot from the rampart and hit the target's eye, and pierced it deep into the eye, killing it instantly, and then two more arrows were shot at the other two men who were about to throw the torches, and although they did not hit the eye, they also shot the throat and chest, and all the men who were hit by the arrow fell from their horses, and rolled twice on the ground without moving.
All three arrows were fired by Mirva, who had learned not only from her hunter father, but also from the Treants more powerful archery skills that allowed her to shoot fast-moving targets with ease, even in the dark.
After Mivar eliminated the three bandits with three arrows, cheers immediately erupted in the camp, and the low morale caused by the bandits just now was restored, and the archers who had not reacted before also shot their arrows outside the barricade as if they had received a signal to attack.
However, their archery skills were obviously not very good, although they shot a lot of arrows, but they only injured two or three people, and the bandits did not show off their strength at close range of the barricade, and quickly turned their horses' heads and returned to the large group in the distance.
"Well done!" Geralt complimented, turning his head to Mirva.
Mirwa smiled and didn't say anything.
At this time, the other party didn't seem to be ready to play this game of cat and mouse, and saw the leader shouting around, and then waved his hand at the car base.
The real bandits next to them immediately rushed out of the crowd, and at once more than a hundred riders rushed towards the barricade like a tide, followed by the bandits on foot, only more than ninety members of the real noble guard did not move, still standing there watching the bandits storm the barricade, as if they only wanted to use these bandits to complete the task, and did not want to get their hands dirty.
However, just as these noble guards disguised as bandits were leisurely waiting for the battle ahead to end and return home after completing this mission, a sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from behind them, and they turned their heads to look behind them, just in time to see a team of eight knights rushing towards them.
The disparity in numbers made the cavalry and knights of these noble guards feel that the eight people rushing over were like eight fools, and the twenty or so cavalrymen closest to the eight people immediately turned their horses, as if they were ready to meet the eight people and finish off the other party, and the rest of the people also thought that the eight people were dead, and turned their attention to the bandits who had begun to attack the fortress in front.
However, the men of the noble guards were startled by a series of screams, and the mixture of Nefgadian and familiar voices in these screams made them instantly understand who the screamer was, and they hurriedly turned their heads to check the situation, only to find that the eight knights had rushed down in front of them unharmed, and their twenty or so companions had fallen not far away, standing there with their horses empty.
They didn't understand what had just happened, and they didn't need to understand what had happened, because they had already experienced what had happened to their companion in the next second.
I saw that the man at the head was wearing a gorgeous armor that he had never seen before, and he held a strangely shaped cross spear in his hand, and as he waved the spear in his hand, anyone who was swept by him flew up from his horse and fell to the ground, unconscious, which was not bad, and those sharpened spear tips and the blades swept by the cross-winged blade were cut into two sections, like a farmer cutting weeds.
Everyone was stunned by what they saw, and by the time they came back to their senses and prepared to fight back, fifty or sixty people had already fallen in a pool of blood, most of them had been killed by the knight at the head, and only a few were killed by the seven knights who followed closely behind.
At this time, no one thought about fighting against this terrifying knight like a demon god, and they all made the decision to escape, but they just urged the war horse, but they found that the war horse under their crotch did not obey the call at this time, and all of them stood in place uncontrollably.
The time it took them to urge their horses was enough for them to rush forward, and they died under the spears of the other side almost without any resistance, and they didn't even have time to draw their weapons.
From the moment when the other party fought with the noble guards of more than 90 people, to the moment all the noble guards fell to the ground, the whole process took less than three minutes, this amazing record not only shocked those noble guards just now, so that they were so frightened that they couldn't have any resistance, even the seven knights who followed this knight were stunned after the battle, looking at the dead corpses behind them and the war horses pacing around, even if they saw it with their own eyes, they were a little suspicious that they were dreaming.
These eight were none other than Sylvia and the seven wandering knights who had been hiding in the woods, and they had already moved behind the bandits when they appeared. It's just that it wasn't the best time to make a move, Sylvia didn't make a move, and when she knew that the person headed by the noble guard ordered a general attack, Sylvia took their seven wandering knights to attack the knights and cavalry of these noble guards.
However, during the assault, although the wandering knights were extremely confident in Sylvia's strength due to Sylvia's rumored past achievements, they still did not think that Sylvia would be able to deal with these enemies unscathed, and some of them would even die in battle.
However, they are already extremely excited that they can fight with Sylvia, even if they will die in battle, it will be a supreme honor for them, and they even think that after death, they will go to the Valhalla of the Fairy of the Lake to enjoy endless happiness, after all, Sylvia also has the title of the incarnation of the Fairy of the Lake.
But the results of the battle made them feel like they were in a dream, even if they were also participants, they didn't even remember how they fought, they just knew that every time Sylvia swung the spear in his hand, one or two people, or even more people fell to the ground, and when Sylvia didn't wave the spear, there was no one standing enemy around.
"Now is not the time to be in a daze, our battle is not over yet!" Sylvia shouted at the seven wandering knights who had not yet recovered from the shock, and then pointed to the bandits who were fighting fiercely with the caravan guards and trying to storm into the barricade, "There are still enemies we need to deal with. So saying, she raised her spear and shouted, "All the team!"
Hearing Sylvia's order, the seven wandering knights immediately moved, concentrated behind Sylvia, formed an assault formation, and rushed towards the bandits in front of Sylvia.
At this time, the bandits only had the promise of the noble guards in their hearts, and they only wanted to rush into the barricade, kill everyone, and make everything bright, as long as these things were completed, they would need to be incognito, and all the things they had done before would be written off, and they could enjoy the possessions they had grabbed before.
However, they did not know that the noble guards who had been promised to them had all died in the attack on Sylvia, and they did not know that even if they had fulfilled their promises, the masters of the noble guards would not help them escape their responsibilities, but would have thrown the destruction of the village on them and scapegoated them.
The robbers on horseback did not attack the barricade directly, but kept running around the barricade, not taking out some specially found sharp stones from the pockets of the saddle and throwing them into the barricade, interfering with the defense of the guards on the barricade and helping their companions to kill and injure the barricade.
Although some of the bandits did rush to the barricade, it didn't do much, and there were a few extremely powerful guys among the defenders on the barricade, and they quickly eliminated the bandits who rushed up.
Some of the robbers had just finished throwing stones and were about to dismount to take part in the attack on the barricade, when they found themselves flying suddenly, and then they saw several strange knights passing through their headless corpses and killing the other companions.
