Early the next morning, at midnight, everyone in the team had already assembled. Roland led everyone to the outside of the big tent, and at this time Cooper had already waited for everyone outside the big tent with a kind of general.

Roland came to report with a team of 10 people. Now that the team is assembled, they are ready to take on the challenge. Please give instructions to the Minister. Roland's crisp voice rang out outside the tent.

"What is going on today, I think Captain Roland has told you too. Today's challenge has no other purpose, it is to test whether your team can handle some important and critical tasks, if your combat ability is the same as that of ordinary elites, then there is no need to let you go into danger, and you cannot shoulder those tasks. Next, I will talk about the specific challenge content of today: change the equipment later, after all, it is only a test, not a real battle, so the offensive equipment is replaced with wooden. In battle, some important parts are attacked to the point that they lose their combat power. The main way is to raid, I will give you a map, designate you a route, I don't know when you will encounter an attack. I won't tell you the exact number. The condition for victory is that at the end of the day, half of you are left to get out of the line safely. I'll be waiting for you at the other end of the line with the generals. Okay, you can change your clothes, Roland, here's the map, you have it. I'm waiting for you with all the generals, and I wish you all the best in the challenge. When Roland took the map, Minister Cooper led the generals on horseback and galloped away.

"Alright, the team listens and changes clothes. Also complete the assembly, then get ready to take on the challenge. Roland ordered. The group walked to the pile of equipment, only knives, feather arrows, crossbow arrows and other offensive equipment, the wooden knife said to be a knife, it is better to say that the slightly flattened wooden stick has no edge. Feather arrows and crossbow arrows did not have arrowheads, and the ends of the arrows were wrapped in cloth. There is nothing aggressive. When everyone finished returning their equipment, each brought an extra pot of arrows, and then everyone studied the map.

From the map, the entire route runs from east to west between the two mountains, with a small river running around it. Generally speaking, the whole route is a typical supply route, the marching time is about two days, the whole route is relatively flat, not very conducive to ambushes, but in the middle of the route there is a section of the route between the cliffs of the two peaks, after passing through this route, the terrain gradually becomes flat again. Since it is actually a walk between the two mountains, it is not a straight line, and there are several turning points in between. After studying the map, Roland and the others mounted their mounts and walked to the east of the camp.

"I have met His Royal Highness, the minister said, once you and your team enter this path, it will prove that the challenge has begun, are you sure that you and your team will start the challenge. At the junction the two sentinels were standing, and when they saw Roland and his party coming, one of them said.

"Thanks for the reminder, my squad and I are ready to start this challenge. After saying that, Roland led the team to the inside of the line. When the sentry behind him saw that the group had entered, he immediately released an arrow, and as he remembered this arrow, the challenge began.

There's really no real level of blairness in the whole of Blair. Although the beginning of the line is gentle, it is only relative. The entire route is lined with rolling hills on both sides, but the slopes on either side are not as steep. The mountain is covered with endless maple forests all the way, tall, vicissitudes, I don't know how long it has existed, the fiery red maple leaves fall with the wind, as if witnessing the past, a piece of the past. On one side of the road, there is a small river, slowly carrying pieces of maple leaves. The whole squad walked on the road in an orderly manner, and if it didn't have that armor, it would be more like an outing than a march.

"His Royal Highness, no ambush has been found at the turn ahead. "Roy Ed came from afar, and he was the most alert in training, so he was mainly responsible for this investigation. Due to the restrictions of the rules, although it is a reconnaissance, it is not far from the team. So the scope of the investigation is not far away. If it's too far, you won't have to walk the trail to be eaten one by one.

"The front is the place where the first turn is, although there is no ambush found for the time being, but for various reasons there is no way to investigate in more detail, so everyone is in good spirits when they pass by, Yan Ofeliel comes to the middle of the team, Yi Ward leads the team, and I break off. After listening to the report, Roland said to everyone. At this time, he was no longer the stern instructor on the school field, but more like a veteran of battle, and Yan Ophilil, who was originally at the end of the line, looked at Roland from a distance, full of smiles, and timidly rode to the middle of the team after hearing the arrangement.

The team slowly advanced towards the turn, and when the first half of the team had just turned the corner, dozens of people suddenly appeared on the hillsides on both sides, more than a dozen people on each side. Each of them was covered with weeds and fallen leaves in the vicinity, and even if they stood close to observe, they would not be able to detect it immediately, let alone just roughly detect it from a distance.

"Team up, defend!" The Divine Arrow Battalion sees the right time to counterattack. Roland roared. At this time, the usual training was quickly shown, and the squad formed a basic defensive formation without any hesitation. The Xuanwu military formation is different from some other military formations, he is not only suitable for infantry, but also has a certain adaptability to cavalry, but his defense is relatively weak. However, if you simply defend against this kind of top-down long-range attack, there is no big problem. With Roland's order, I saw that the shield wall composed of shields with a slight slope appeared above everyone's heads in an instant, accompanied by a rain of arrows. In the end, only a small white spot was left on the shield, which was due to the fact that the end of the feather arrow was wrapped in lime, so that it was better to determine whether it had hit the vital point. The two men of the Divine Arrow Battalion counterattacked the enemy positions on both sides from time to time through the gap, and from time to time one or two people left the position because they were hit by the vital point.

"Counterattack!" Roland said in between the enemy's attacks, except for the sword and shield battalion and the spear battalion, which were still responsible for the defense, the rest of the people wanted to return fire with arrows on the hillsides on both sides, but due to the suddenness of this attack, the enemy instantly fell several people, and then the enemies on both sides of the strait returned fierce fire again, and everyone had to hide in the shield again. And after several rounds of repeated attacks, the number of enemies has also dropped a lot.

"Your Highness, you can't go on like this, there are many enemies, and the attack is wide, and if you keep defending, you will always be caught. Defensively, Ward said.

"Wait a while, when we get through this wave, in addition to the continued defense of your sword and shield battalion, the rest of the personnel will follow me to destroy the enemy on the other side of the river first, and now there are only 6 or 7 people on the opposite side, and strive to completely destroy the opposite side in one round. Of course, your sword and shield battalion must do a good job of defense, and don't let the enemy on the mountain behind take advantage of it. Roland observed for a moment and spoke to the crowd.

After experiencing a wave of arrows again, in addition to the sword and shield battalion continued to be responsible for defense, the rest of the people counterattacked to the enemy position on the other side of the river, because the usual training of the use of bows and arrows has been very important, plus the enemy on the opposite side did not expect the team to be so decisive, so for a while, there were only a few people left to be wiped out by the team in an instant, and the enemy on the other side of the hill saw this situation, and immediately organized support, but the number of people was not much, and the defense of the sword and shield battalion was solid and finally returned in vain. After making sure that there was no threat to the enemy on the other side, the team began to slowly clear the enemy on the hillside on their side, and it didn't take long for everyone to pass the first challenge at the cost of zero casualties. When everyone has cleaned up the battlefield and resupplied the arrows, they continue to walk deep on the road.

"Well, that's just the challenge," Cuthbert said happily.

"Don't be careless, this is the first level, just let us adapt, the next challenge is probably not so easy. Yi Ward said in a deep voice, if you want to say that the adaptability to the battlefield in the team is actually the highest among him. Sometimes Roland has to admit that practice is the best way to exercise, and he and his father have learned a lot of military theories and so on since childhood, but they are still not mature enough in practical application.

After the first turn, the team did not encounter any further attacks. After half a day's march, they came to a valley from which the two towering cliffs could be faintly seen, and by there the whole challenge was halfway over. The valley is not large, but it is wide on all sides, with gravel on all sides, except for the maple trees that still cover the mountains, and the rolling mountains on either side not far away.

"After dismounting and resting, Yan O'Feliel and E. Ward went to check the water source, and if it was all right, replenish the water. The rest of the crowd were on their guard, not too relaxed, and waited for the return of Yan Ofeliel and E. Ward to dine. Our ministers won't make us really comfortable. After observing it, Roland ordered. After choosing a maple grove near the river, Yan O'Felil and I. Ward went to the river, only to see Yan O'Felir take out something from the medicine box and test it in the river for a while, then he and Ro Ed replenished the water bladder without water, and after a while they returned to the group, while the rest of the team stood by the huge maple tree, closely observing the surroundings, and after Yan Ofeliel and E. Ward returned, everyone began to eat the dry food they brought with them in batches.

"Doh. As they were eating, an arrow passed in front of Ro Nice and left a white dot on the tree.

"Enemy attack!" The Divine Arrow Battalion finds the archers on the opposite side and kills them first, and the rest of the defensive formation!" Roland roared without hesitation. Ro Nice, Ro Ed did not wait for Roland's orders, and began to look for the archers in the distance after dodging them at the first time, and successfully eliminated several of them.

"Rush, !!" accompanied by the arrival of feather arrows, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed out from both sides of the river valley, and quickly and rhythmically covered up Roland and the others.

"The Divine Arrow Battalion continued to look for the archers on the opposite side, and everyone relied on the maple forest to shrink the defense, first shooting at will with bows and arrows, and waiting for the enemy to get close and the sword and shield battalion was responsible for the defense gap. Roland said loudly that a feathered arrow had already shot out of his hand, and directly invited a soldier out of the field. The rest of the crowd responded with feather arrows after receiving the order, and even Yan O'Feliel successfully hit a few unlucky eggs, and her crossbow arrows were still fast, and after being honed at the turn, the accuracy quickly increased. For the sake of the suddenness of the ambush, the enemy at this time was far away from the river, and due to the difficulty of moving the road, the enemy finally rushed to the front of everyone after four or five rounds of arrow rain. And the archers in the distance are basically no threat in the Divine Arrow Camp and Roland's attacks from time to time.

"Formation, defense. Raise your gun, stab!" As the enemy approached, the squad formed a basic formation again, but at this time there was no need to defend against attacks from overhead, and as one shot after another, wave after wave of soldiers fell in front of the shield, and whenever they attacked, there was always a shield that stood in their attack path and finally returned in vain. After resisting many waves of attacks, the enemy finally gradually retreated, and when everyone thought they could take a breath, they only heard Roland shout: "Raise the shield, fully defend!" After speaking, Roland raised his shield, and then tightly protected Yan Ofeliel in his arms, unaware of Yan Ofelil's red face, because of the compliance brought by the training, and everyone did not hesitate to protect this team tightly. This was followed by a heavy blow from the shield. After withstanding this blow, everyone saw that there were wooden sticks scattered around, of course, if they were on the battlefield, they were spears, thinking of this, the original disbelief of the team was worn out a lot.

"It's time for us to attack. Let's teach them what foot combat is. The usually calm Y Ward was also full of a faint ferocity at this time. Thinking that he had almost been planted here just now, the elites from all the battalions were all full of anger.

"Attacking formation, Yan Ophilil to see who is in danger and who is supporting whom. Roland said lightly. Since there was no longer enough threatening long-range firepower on the opposite side, the whole squad slowly pressed the enemy, and did not use any excessive attack methods, completely showing the eight methods of the shield method of soaring, jumping, pounced, rolling, bracing, ambushing, staggering, channeling, and squatting, and the sweeping and splitting of the knife method, and the slashing, cutting, cutting, sweeping, nai, slashing, and slashing of the knife method in the enemy's crowd. Although the enemy at this time is still several times as large as them, when the entire squad composed entirely of elite troops really shows their combat strength, all resistance is in vain. Coupled with the occasional crossbow bolts, it didn't take long for the remaining enemies to stand aside.

"Guys, I'm sorry. Roland said to the soldiers. In fact, their strategy is not wrong, they just chose the wrong target. Although the squad was not eliminated in this battle, if it was said that there were injuries, there were definitely some of them, but fortunately, it did not affect the subsequent battles, so it was not judged that they were incapacitated.

"It's okay, Vaughn also hopes that you can pass the test, rest assured, there is absolutely no water release. Good luck. The leading lieutenant said, and led his team out of the line.

"I set off and try to feel the cliff before night. After the rest, Roland ordered.

"Dismount. Yan Ofeliel watched the horses, and I. Ward, Ro Eid, Solo Christine, Cuthbert, and Inheim went up to the left cliff, and I. Ward was the captain, and the others followed me up to the right cliff, and took cover, there must be an ambush here. Try to eliminate them before they find out, and when you're done, come back here and assemble, Yan, be careful yourself. "Not far from the cliff, everyone stood still, because the cliff area is not large, can not accommodate the ambush of a large army, so after discussion, it was decided to divide the troops into two ways, eliminate the enemy on the cliff, no longer passive defense. By this time, the sun had begun to tilt to the west, the sky was not so bright, and the tall maple forests on the hillsides gave enough cover. Assassination or assassination is also the top priority in the team's usual training, so in the past two months of training, everyone in the team scolded Roland in their hearts, and even Yan Ofelier, who was originally prepared to endure hardships, secretly thought that Roland was unkind. However, since participating in this challenge, everyone has truly realized how necessary the previous training was. Along the way, everyone slowly advanced to the top of the cliff, and Roland's side was led by Roland Nice of the Divine Arrow Battalion, and the Divine Arrow Battalion could better exert its reconnaissance ability in this terrain. When they reached the top of the cliff, Ro Nice made a move to stop the advance, and the group immediately hid themselves, and Ro Nice continued to gesture, pointing out the three dark whistles ahead. Just look at the past, there is one grass on the left and right, and another on the tree, if you don't look carefully, people can't find it for a while, after everyone's eyes signaled, three feather arrows flew in those three directions, and three white dots appeared on their vital points in an instant. The three of them were stunned for a moment, and when they saw Roland and them, they gave them a thumbs up and stayed silently in place. The more you advance to the top of the cliff, the tighter the enemy's defenses become, but in the end, under the care of everyone, these open and dark posts are quietly pulled out. When everyone came to the top of the cliff, there was only one lieutenant and ten soldiers lying in ambush at the top, and on the side were cloth bags, instead of rocks, after a volley from Roland's team, the lieutenant only left the battlefield unwillingly, and the remaining soldiers surrendered obediently. When Roland and his party eliminated the enemy on the cliff on the right, the team led by Yi Ward also engaged with the ambush personnel at the top of the opposite cliff.

When everyone returned to the assembly, it was already dark, and finally the team decided to spend the night in the canyon of the cliff, after arranging the night patrol, everyone who had been tired all day went into the tent to rest, only Yan Ofeliel still could not calm down, remembering Roland's hug, the original red little face, it seemed more and more red.
