"What about the horses?" asked Korodov anxiously beside him, for he had not forgotten to talk about his cavalry. x

But Zhe Botai said disapprenously: "All of them have slipped away, I guess I went to find a mare! But don't feel distressed, they are all bad horses with no temper, and they can't control those good horses that are as wild as women!"

But Korodov was still pouting in distress, and the annoying sound remained in Stannis's ears until the formation of the bandits on the other side was completed.

"My knight lord, stop muttering! I'll get some horses for me after this fight!"

Stannis was annoyed by him, so he had to pretend to agree.

Eventually, the annoying noises were gone, and Stannis was able to concentrate on the battlefield.

But the first time he looked at the gang of bandits, he felt very shocked, wasn't it good to fight the bandits? But what appeared in front of him was undoubtedly a group of advanced soldiers and pirates!

This group of strongmen is like dense ants moving all over the grassland outside the valley, although there are only a few hundred people, they are already very imposing, and at the same time, more than 100 heavy infantry like Haikou in the center are particularly prominent, they are the core force of the bandit group, but they are completely armed to the teeth, each bandit is wearing a long swing chain mail, holding a two-handed axe, a horn nose guard, and a lot of heads are cut off at a glance.

"Isn't this different from the setting!" Stannis thought it was a low-level soldier, but he didn't expect to beat these middle-level soldiers as soon as he came up.

"Boss, this gang of bandits has been robbing for so long, and the loot they have captured is countless, is it also appropriate to improve the level of equipment!" Robert comforted him.

Stannis is too lazy to be angry at this disgusting setting, he is now trying to find a way to deal with the pirates in this gang of bandits, the other bandits are no different from his impression, they are all shirtless, weapons are either wooden sticks or stones, and green cashmere hats, very happy. But the axes in Haikou's hand frightened him, and he could imagine his soldiers being cut in two with an axe.

"Do you have any special things to do with the bandits, do you want to come out and say a few words to the boss on the other side?" Stannis asked to the others.

Robert and Korodov shook their heads, the water bandits belong to the lowest level in the bandit level of the Western Continent, and they are despised by all bandits, and they are even worse than the bandits and bandits they encountered last time, so they don't need to pay attention to any battlefield etiquette, just go straight to work.

Stannis shrugged, he didn't want to blow up the last time he didn't know what it was, "Then don't care!

Hearing his order, 100 infantry marched forward in four columns at a slow pace, and the sound of uniform footsteps made the blood boil in the ears of Stannis on horseback.

The bandits did not expect that the army of Zivinie, which was far less numerous than them, would dare to take the initiative to excite them, and they were very angry, and a big man who looked like their leader walked out of the crowd, his upper body, painted with red tattoos, and the wild strongman gave an impassioned speech in front of the bandits, and then, led by the elite heavy infantry, began to rush in the direction of Stannis.

The infantry archers behind Zivignie's infantry began to shoot arrows, and in this unobstructed grassland, the infantry bows in their hands began to exert their maximum power, and the archers began to fire rapidly at a rate of 6 arrows per minute, and the dense rain of arrows harvested life like a god of death, especially those shirtless unarmored targets, who were basically killed or wounded.

By the time the infantry of the two sides finally fought, the bandit legion had been cut by at least 20% of its combat power due to bows and arrows, but the final victory or defeat was still determined by hand-to-hand combat.

Stannis thought the same way, he appeared at the front line with the 'broken knee', and his morale aura made the morale of the soldiers around him even higher, but he didn't come to fight hard, but to add debuffs to the enemy.

"It's a nice day!"

"But it's boring without a woman!"

"It's good for your mother to be with me!"

Another set of three companies, 30 of the more than 100 hoplites of the bandits' most elite were thrown into confusion and blocked the way for those behind to charge.

But Stannis, who had finished roaring the dragon's roar, was also exhausted, and it seemed that releasing three dragon's roars at once was his limit.

Although the dragon's roar caused a certain amount of chaos, there were too many water bandits, and a few hundred people could crush Qi Vini's army together.

Of course, Stannis knew this, and before the war began, he asked his soldiers to fight and retreat, retreating to the middle of the valley at an unobtrusive speed, which showed the advantage of the Thunder Legion as professional soldiers, that is, they were trained to carry out orders well, rather than scattering in a hurry when they saw a retreat even if they were defeated, like a strong man who was caught temporarily.

The infantry of the legion approached the archers phalanx in an orderly manner, and Stannis's plan to lure the enemy deeper was a great success, but there was one thing that puzzled him, that is, the good ambush soldiers should be killed, but the dragon roar had been roaring for a long time and still did not see anyone coming.

Stannis looked up at the sides of the valley, where there were still people in ambush!

The lord instantly felt cold from head to toe, his ally betrayed himself and retreated without permission!

Stannis had never thought of such a situation, and the allies to whom he had sworn allegiance had fled without saying a word! He had never imagined that the human heart would be so sinister, and these guys obviously wanted to die at the hands of this gang of bandits!

"Boss, those bastards have thrown us up!" Robert saw this, too, and shouted in despair.

All the soldiers heard his wail, and they immediately found themselves alone, and the morale of even the most well-trained troops was undoubtedly devastating. The infantry who were fighting began to waver, and the lords could read from their faces, betrayal, fear, and anger.

To add insult to injury, the elite pirates among the water bandits who were in a state of chaos have recovered, and the battle axes in their hands have begun to kill, raising a rain of blood.

Screams rang through the battlefield, and the Legion's infantry could only move closer to the rear in vain, and it seemed inevitable that another major defeat would be lost.

But Stannis didn't back down, the dragon's blood flowing in his body drove him forward, and the anger of betrayal in his chest had begun to transform, no longer fear and despair, but fearless courage.
