Those who rebelled against Prince Dima had long since been slaughtered, and the rest were ordinary villagers who had no objection and no power to restrain them, so the steel cavalry thought it was a one-sided massacre. And they crave such a slaughter, each of them stepped on piles of bones before entering the Iron City, the stump and severed arm on the battlefield can awaken the most primitive hunger in their blood, in their eyes, whether the slaughter is against the cavalry of the Byronic Empire or the civilian population.

So when they saw the sudden light of torches and arrows in the village, many people were stunned. The rain of arrows caused a massive attrition to the unprepared vanguard army, and the captain, as the vanguard commander, wielded a greatsword and slashed down one arrow after another that came at them.

"Top shield!"

He spat and cursed. No one could have imagined that the villagers, who were usually oppressed, would resist and organize a decent defensive offensive in a short period of time. But...... They are the most elite warriors in the Eastern Kingdom! As soon as the captain gave the order, the formation of the vanguard army immediately changed, and the cavalry in the back row raised their shields at the same time, and they moved to the front of the line.

The captain and the village chief standing at the entrance of the village looked at each other and laughed cruelly. He could already see the archers in ambush on the rooftops, and none of them were in armor with sharp blades. After all, the villagers are just villagers, and they simply do not dare to confront the regular army head-on.

At best, these arrows would only take out a few unsuspecting recruits, and in less than a minute, their formation would be able to charge into the village, at which point they would crush the entire village.

In the face of the roaring iron horsemen, the village chief was not afraid, and the bow and arrows on the roof stopped. When the vanguard entered the jungle, the village chief suddenly waved his right hand, and the villagers in ambush in the forest took a look at each other, and they pulled up several sharp steel wires to block the road. The neighing of the war horses was endless, and the cavalry, including the captain, were immediately thrown off their horses, and the follow-up cavalry did not have time to stop, and for a time many cavalry died under the iron hooves of their own people.

The captain who got up in a hurry had a pale face, this back and forth had already caused many casualties, and it was difficult for him to connect the enemy at this moment with the villagers who were usually submissive.

And the village chief didn't give them any respite, he shouted in a deep voice: "Fire attack!"

The next moment, the tumbling wooden hole rolled down from the forest, and the oil that leaked wet the ground, and the villagers in the trees set fire to the arrows, and the flaming arrows turned into tongues of fire, and when they fell around the vanguard, a wave of fire immediately rose into the sky. The screams were incessant, and the captain looked blankly at the soldiers who were scurrying around as their bodies were set on fire, his own skin scorching from the flames.

Are these people really just villagers in Morning Dew Valley?

A strong doubt arose in his mind, the vanguard army he led was almost completely wiped out, and they failed to connect the nearest village...... It's a sight that can only be seen in war.

After a while, the cheers of the villagers could be heard in the forest: "Village Chief, Lord Tyr's plan has indeed worked!"

The village chief was silent, and the defeat of the vanguard's offensive did not make him ecstatic, because this was already all they had, and this group of vanguard troops was less than a tenth of the entire army, and the soldiers surrounded by flames were only the most eager for quick success, and in the distance, there were two captains, and a whole army!

Both he and Lin Qiu miscalculated.

Unexpectedly, in order to eliminate them, Prince Dima sent troops several times their number, so that their plan to pack their bags and evacuate overnight also completely failed, and they were afraid that they would not be able to survive this long night.

This was their limit, but the village chief was a little relieved.

Zero's kindness can finally be paid off now.

"It seems that this was not a temporary premeditation. The captain in the distance sighed as he looked at the fire spreading through the forest. Being able to wipe out a squad of troops is far beyond their imagination. At the same time, he had to admire Prince Dima's foresight, and it was precisely because the adults had expected this that they would send so many troops.

"The army listened to the order and advanced steadily. Another captain said in a deep voice: "Don't underestimate these villagers, start now, put them on the battlefield on the spot!"

The sound of the soldiers' responses shook the sky, the cavalry pressed like black clouds, the knights with shields on all sides formed an insurmountable copper wall, the speed of the troops slowed down, and under the leadership of the two captains, the whole army seemed to be integrated and solid.

This is the real eastern soldier, and the entire eastern region is a kingdom built on the flames of war.

"Village Chief, what should we do now?" the villagers in the forest retreated, and it was impossible to say that they were not afraid of the army. The village chief is the backbone of everything, and they sincerely hope that the village chief can come up with a few clever plans like Fang Cai. For a while, everyone's eyes were on the village chief.

"Their speed slowed down, and they could run as far as they could with the others. The village chief said expressionlessly.

"What......?"

"Are you kidding?"

"Let's go!" the village chief shouted at the chattering villagers: "As long as I'm still standing here, they won't dare to attack rashly!"

"But you ...... the village chief."

"You can't go anywhere. An unsettling roar shook everyone. In the depths of the flames, a man carrying a giant sword walked out, the skin on his arm was roasted back by the flames, and his face was faintly festering, and every step he took made an extremely heavy voice: "You will all die here!"

The man disappeared abruptly, and the sudden strong wind swept the villagers around the village chief back a few steps, and when they stood still, the man was already standing in front of the village chief, and the giant sword he had cut off was not aimed at the village chief's vital point, but at his arm.

As the captain of the Vanguard, he couldn't let this old man who had designed to wipe out his troops die so lightly.

"Village Chief!"

The villagers were terrified.

In the next second, the giant sword in the captain's hand stopped in front of the village chief, and his blade seemed to be blocked by something invisible. Not only that, but he felt that his limbs had become extremely heavy, his sword hand could not move a bit, and his feet seemed to be rooted in a sudden.

What made him even more creepy was that the army had strangely stopped, and no matter how much the soldiers in front whipped their mounts, the horses refused to take a step forward as if they were enchanted.

"Rebels, prison robbers, country thieves......"

The captain followed the prestige and found a teenager coming out of the crowd at some point. The boy grabbed the armor on his chest, and lifted his huge body with ease.

"Here is the man you are looking for, come and take my head. ”

The next moment, the ground under the feet of the army collapsed, and the sudden abyss instantly engulfed the entire army.
