A few people came out and found that their soldiers were nervously winding their cedar bows, and their longbows had to be wound when they were not in use, in order to prevent them from becoming less powerful or even scrapped. At the same time, the soldiers drew the arrows they brought from the quiver in neat rows and inserted them into the ground, so that they could pick up the shot from the ground at any time.

But the supporting characters were less nervous, and Chef Cook was holding an iron rod and stirring the cauldron with a wild vegetable soup he had prepared, and piled with 'stone' bread and bacon beside it, which were breakfast and lunch, and if the enemy did not arrive on time, they would have nothing to eat in the evening.

"By the way," Robert remembered one more thing, "there was a buddy who got up late last night and accidentally got stuck in the swamp, and it took us a lot of effort to get him out. ”

It dawned on Stannis that the last night's commotion was about this, but soon he became interested in something else.

"Where is the swamp?"

Robert pointed to the large black mud field in front of him, filled with black water, "No, this is it. ”

Stannis thought it was a pond that had accumulated on a rainy day, but he walked over it and found that it was indeed a bubbling swamp, and the water on it was only a thin layer of water, which was not so conspicuous.

A bold idea came to him, and he quickly summoned the staff members, "How about we use a large swamp to trap the enemy army?"

"That's a good idea. Batesmore nodded in agreement, a bunch of enemies trapped in the swamp just in time for him to harvest heads.

But the experienced mercenary captain immediately pointed out the shortcomings, "Although it can be, as long as the first few people of the enemy army fall into the swamp, the people behind will find out in time, and that will not cause the expected effect." ”

"yes. Stannis felt that he had thought too simply.

However, his engineer Speer suggested, "Make a raft and lay it on it, you can slow down the rate of sagging." ”

"Hah, that's exactly what I thought!" Although he didn't expect this brilliant idea at all, as a lord, he still had to pretend to be the first to anticipate the enemy.

But everyone saw what he was thinking, and gave him a blank look.

The thick-skinned Stannis didn't mind, and then he turned and ordered, "You guys, quickly build me a dozen light rafts to spread on the swamp, and then face the dead leaves and weeds on them, so that people can't notice when they step on them." ”

With his order, everyone began to work in their own divisions, and after a few hours of hard work, a dozen single-story rafts were made and laid on the swamp one by one, and with the dead leaves and the weeds cut into bundles on it, it was impossible to tell from the outside that there was a dark swamp hidden underneath.

Stannis clapped his hands in satisfaction, "Alright, now everything is ready, just wait for the bandits to come to the door." ”

At this moment, a figure on a horse appeared in the distance, it was Kanye, the detective sent out by Stannis last night.

"Here they are. ”

Kanye rolled off his horse, and from the dirt of the plants hanging from his body, it was clear that he had been lurking in the fallen leaves for a long time.

Stannis hurriedly greeted him, "How far is it?"

"It's coming soon. Kanye still didn't change his face.

"......" Stannis didn't arrange for him to be a watchtower, just to know so little in advance.

Kanye also saw his dissatisfaction, but still said lightly: "I stared at it all night and accidentally fell asleep. ”

The image of this black ranger, who had always been serious and steady, collapsed in his heart, but he couldn't care about it, since the enemy could arrive at any time, then he should also sit and be ready.

The lord turned around and raised his hands and shouted, "Everyone ready!"

The soldiers immediately got up from where they were sitting and ran to their prepared positions, and Stannis had already sat down on the grass in front of them to make sure that they knew the distance of their shots.

"To make up for your mistakes, do you want to make a move this time?" he still didn't give up and let his archer head shoot.

But Kanye still smiled and shook his head.

Stannis had no choice but to turn to Batesmore, "What about you, cup cat, do you have any scruples about not killing?"

The mercenary captain slowly drew his sword, he looked looking forward to the killing feast, "As long as the price, one gold coin per person." ”

In just a few words, he said that Stannis had a chill in his back, and this guy looked like he was going to cut himself into bankruptcy.

For this battle, Stannis discharged an all-star lineup, which can be described as a nest, even those who should not have come, Stannis glanced at the people standing behind him lined up with names and surnames, and felt arrogant, they were:

Master chef and master chef, the only designated stall of 'Lord's Assured Fast Food', creator of cabbage soup and brown bread – Hannibal Cook.

The former captain of the garrison of Falling Silver City, the legendary ranger known as 'Hawkeye', is now an archer instructor - Kanye Westblanco.

The frequent winner of knightly duels, the knight of the Stanley family's guard, the bartender and principal virtuoso of the 'Chan's Entertainment Club', and the chief knight - Korodov.

and Robert.

And Stanis.

After all the characters have been introduced, everyone is waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

"That ......," Robert still had some thoughts, "can you also add a prefix when introducing me in the future......?"

"'Joker' Robert. Stannis blurted out.

“...... Forget it......"

A few minutes later, the first white shadows appeared on the withered yellow grassland, and then, more and more white shadows, layered on top of each other, quickly approached here.

When Stannis was able to see clearly, he realized that these were people in white fur, judging by the strange and chaotic weapons they carried, these people were the bandits he had been waiting for for a long time.

"These guys are quite rich, and they wear sables. "Stennis felt that banditry was not a profession without a future.

And the gang of bandits also saw them, and since there were no horses, the gang of strongmen could only run on two legs and stop in the direction of five hundred meters in front of them.

The breeze was blowing from the steppe, and the great battle was about to begin.
