After poking the bonfire in front of him more vigorously with a piece of firewood, a middle-aged man wearing a short sleeve and short hem light chain mail on his leather armor threw the firewood into the bonfire and sat down beside the bonfire, his pale green eyes staring closely at the small iron pot on the bonfire, which was bubbling in the boiling hot water.

For Todd, an old mercenary who has survived to the present without danger and has not lacked any body parts, he has not been hired by nobles large or small, nor has he found a suitable opportunity to ransack a village or a caravan. Even the situation where no one other than himself and the mercenary team he led could not see at all was the most boring, but it was also the safest and most secure time: there was no need to think about how to survive on the battlefield, there was no need to think hard about how to get enough commissions from the miserly employers, and there was no need to judge whether the supplies they currently possessed needed to be supplemented by raiding the nearest caravans or villages that they could encounter, this rare time of peace was what Todd and other mercenaries who had survived several wars hoped for, and the only thing that could make them happy was to get the commissions and booty they deservedand with a considerable amount of money, they ate and drank in taverns and inns and searched for women.

"I just got the baron's commission the day before yesterday, and the coins from selling the mess of things that were seized and looted, are enough for me to live a peaceful life with these boys for about a month...... Seeing that the hot water in the small iron pot on the campfire was almost boiling, Todd got up and took out two pieces of black bread from the bag beside him, broke them little by little and threw them into the small iron pot, and then took out a piece of air-dried meat from another bag, and cut it into pieces with a short knife placed in the inside of the leather boot on his right foot, and threw it into the small iron pot to boil, "Let's rest here for a day today, and just see if we can hunt some hares and wild deer and other prey to add some flavor to the dry food......

Just as Todd was thinking about things as he put the short knife he had just finished drying back into the scabbard of his leather boot on his right foot, he heard a crow's cry from not far away.

"Huh?" Todd, who heard the crow's cry, was shocked, and his expression, which was still a little lazy, immediately tensed, and he picked up a one-handed battle axe and a one-handed long sword from his side as quickly as possible, "Brothers, be alert!

At about the same time as Todd, the old mercenary leader, shouted, many of the mercenaries who had seemed to be lying or lying down, chatting and playing dice, all picked up the various weapons and shields of different sizes that were placed around them, and began to lean against each other. Mercenaries who have experienced several or even dozens of bloody wars can pick up the guys around them for alert and defense at the first moment when they feel that something is wrong around them or hear a warning signal, even in an environment that seems to be particularly safe, otherwise they will not live safely until now, and those who do not have enough vigilance and fast enough reaction speed will have died on the battlefield or in ambushes and attacks.

In a short period of time, more than sixty mercenaries wearing leather armor or light chain mail gathered together with various weapons and shields, arranged in four rows of improvised shield walls: for mercenaries like them, who needed to wander around in search of mercenary opportunities, the camp often consisted of only tents set up and simple wooden fences set up temporarily, but at best, about one meter and a half of the latter would slightly block the common wildlife in the forest, and ordinary light cavalry could jump directly on their horses, at most it could slow down the attack of light and heavy infantry and the direct impact of heavy cavalryTherefore, these battle-hardened mercenaries chose to form a simple shield wall formation near the entrance of the simple wooden fence, blocking the entrance of the simple wooden fence without a gate.

"What's the situation?" said Todd, standing behind the shield wall of his brothers in the first row, holding a one-handed battle axe in his left hand and a one-handed sword in his right, turning his head to a young mercenary in leather armor standing in the fourth row, holding a single bow and a string, he was the same sentry who used the crow to inform everyone in the camp to be on guard.

"There was a heavy cavalryman, most likely a knight, and there were no servants or attendants by his side, so he rode towards our camp alone!" The young mercenary who was holding a single bow and took out a conical arrow from the quiver behind his waist also shouted in a loud voice, he used to be a hunter, not to mention that his eyesight is the best in this group of mercenaries, and he is also a night eye, so he is usually in charge of guarding when this group of mercenaries is camped, "Although he did not draw his weapon to prepare for battle, I always felt a little bad!" ”

"Be vigilant! Be vigilant!" After listening to the young mercenary's reply, Todd then shouted in order to prepare for the worst, "Come up to the first and second rows with the spears!

"Drink!" With Todd's order, more than twenty mercenaries armed with spears of different lengths lined up in the first two rows, and the heads of the spears emitted a cold light.

A heavy cavalry suspected of being a knight was approaching the makeshift mercenary camp of himself and the others?

As an old mercenary who successfully found a suitable commission and then got enough commissions, Todd had dealt with many different types of people with different identities, and these experiences at least allowed him to quickly speculate some possibilities in the current situation: whether it was a well-equipped heavy cavalry mercenary or a real knight, he was not a good person to mess with, and if he really came up and had a rash conflict, even if he had a few crossbows, he could take advantage of the numerical advantage and terrain advantage to kill him, but he could not avoid the casualties of his own group of people, at most, depending on the situation, the casualties of his own group of mercenaries were more and sometimes less...... Therefore, only as a last resort, Todd and other mercenaries will fight, and if they casually clash with non-armed personnel who do not know the situation, it is easy to provoke unwarranted disasters and catastrophes, which is quite fatal for a small mercenary team.

Clenching the one-handed battle axe and one-handed sword in each hand, Todd's pale green eyes looked at the end of the forest path leading to the entrance to the camp, and he could already hear the sound of the horses' hooves stomping on the ground as they approached.

With the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground, a heavily armored rider appeared at the end of the forest path: the first thing that caught the eye of Todd and the other mercenaries was the barrel helmet decorated with demonic wings, then the heavy chain mail and black cross robe on the heavy chain mail jacket worn by the rider, the knight's sword and one-handed battle axe worn on the armed belt around his waist, and the horse chain mail and horse burqa on the body of the tall and strong heavy war horse under the crotch.

Not only that, but Todd was also keenly aware that the rider, dressed in heavy chain mail, a black cross robe on a white background, and a demonic ring-winged barrel helmet, had an iris shield diagonally on his back, which was firmly fastened to the rider's back by a black belt, and in addition, Todd also saw that the heavy rider was carrying a lot of bags on one side of the horse's back, among which the heavy horse also had a strange shape and an amazingly long two-handed sword tied to the belly belt on the right side of the heavy warhorse, and also had a pure metal scabbard! Instead of wrapping it in the usual leather or linen!

These discoveries were enough to make Todd and other mercenaries raise their vigilance a lot, and when the heavy rider was still about ten meters away from him and the others, he stopped the heavy war horse under his crotch, jumped off the horse and stood on the ground, wearing chain mail and five-fingered gloves with his left hand leading the heavy war horse towards them slowly.

The movements of the heavy rider made Todd and other mercenaries secretly breathe a sigh of relief after seeing it, and the various weapons and shields held in their hands involuntarily lowered a little: in this short distance of more than ten meters, but the range of the best lethal effect that the heavy cavalry can achieve when launching a charge, even if the heavy cavalry did not carry a cavalry gun or a spear, the weight of the heavy cavalry and the war horse alone was enough to directly collapse his simple four-row shield wall, so it can be seen that this heavy rider does not have any offensive intent or malice now, so that their nerves do not have to be tense, as if they were mounted on a single bow with arrows or crossbow with crossbows.

"A heavy rider who is very likely to be a knight...... What is he doing here?" Although I could confirm that the hoplite who was gradually approaching him and the others was not hostile, Todd was still vigilant enough, but the fingers holding the weapon were not particularly stiff, "I always felt that something was wrong, could it be that I had a premonition that he would appear here......

Through the peephole of the Demon Ring-Wing Barrel Helmet, Feng Longde could clearly see the appearance of these European medieval-level human soldiers who were lined up in a shield wall formation to keep themselves on guard, and he dismounted in advance and did not make any moves that might reveal his intention to attack in order not to cause conflict, but these European medieval-level outside human soldiers were a little too nervous, which made him more or less nervous.

This time, in addition to the Teutonic Gothic plate armor that Feng Longde was used to wearing, he was replaced with the current set of heavy chain armor, and even the axe-shaped halberd that he had been accustomed to using was replaced by the standard Teutonic two-handed broadsword that was currently tied to the side of the undead war horse's horse, so as not to make the first impression of being too nuclear. The purpose of Feng Longde's single-handedness this time was to successfully hire this small number of qualified external human troops, rather than trying to kill them all with Wushuang, so he naturally had to dress up so that they wouldn't have any bad feelings.

But...... Judging from the surprised eyes of these human soldiers from the outside, Feng Longde found that they still seemed to be shocked by their armament, which made him wonder for the first few seconds that he couldn't ignore any details by himself, could it be that he had put the shell gun on his waist again......

Although there were doubts in the soul heart, Feng Longde quickly followed the direction of the gaze of these human soldiers from the outside world and found the reason why they were surprised:

The set of heavy chain mail that I changed in advance before setting off is a steel heavy chain mail with eight rings, and the weaving method, forging process and some small details in terms of style are very different from most common types of chain mail in the European Middle Ages.

Even if Feng Longde didn't know whether the human soldiers in front of him were from the European Middle Ages or from other parallel worlds or other planes with similar comprehensive technical levels, judging from the styles of the few chain mails that these human soldiers from the outside world could equip, Feng Longde could be sure that the world they were originally in was at the same level as the European Middle Ages in this era of human civilization in terms of purely the style of chain mail, and they were all exactly the same, and there was not much difference at all.

According to Feng Longde's own knowledge and information, among the various types of chain mail that have appeared in human civilization in this era, the common styles of chain mail that belong to the category of heavy chain mail are mainly one ring and four rings, and occasionally there will be the kind of "king chain mail" with six rings, but this kind of "king chain mail" with six rings is more labor-intensive and cost-intensive, and heavier, so this style of chain mail rarely appears; Chainmail with four rings is too common to fall under the category of light chainmail - on the one hand, it was used to the extreme in the perennial war-torn period of the prehistoric era, and on the other hand, the general comprehensive physical fitness of humans in the prehistoric era was much higher than that of humans in human civilization in this era, and the physical fitness was better. For people in prehistoric times, the heavy chain mail in their eyes is a chain of eight rings, which is completely impossible in the eyes of modern humans, and the density of steel rings, comprehensive protection and weight are beyond all kinds of chain mail in human civilization in this era.

Because the heavy chain mail with eight rings is much more complex in the way of weaving than the chain mail of other weaving methods, it is only the prehistoric era that will appear and be installed on a considerable scale when it is not in a state of peace for most of the period, and the heavy chain mail worn by Feng Longde is produced from the Teutonic camp military factory, and is currently installed on a large scale in the Boghall troops. In the Acropolis Corps and the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers, even the Teutonic Zeppon chain mail equipped by the Teutonic warriors was based on it.

"Damn, it seems that this detail has been overlooked......" The soul heart sighed inwardly, Feng Longde took a deep breath, and continued to lead the horse towards these human soldiers from the outside world, "I hope this shock effect is of positive benefit, otherwise I will have to kill ......" (To be continued.) )
