1533. Battle of the Highlands 3
Simon. The Marquis Geoffrey built a makeshift camp on a hillside in the middle of the Villagassi hills, where the Constructed Swordsmen of the usual reinforcements rested.
Every morning, two teams of constructed swordsmen will ride on their horses, galloping in the east and west directions along the boundary monument line of the Vigliagasi hills, until they reach the edge of the hills, and then turn around and run back until they return to the temporary camp, so that it takes two days and one night to go down half a circle, of course, the constructed swordsmen will rest for one night in the middle, and these Gubo horses also need to rest.
It looks like these Constructed Swordsmen are trying to prevent the demons from entering the hilly terrain, but in fact they are guarding against the Western Route Army from secretly moving the boundary monument line.
Andrew's Constructed Knights had just reached the edge of the Villagassi Hills when they were stopped out of the hills by the Constructed Swordsmen Patrol, on the grounds that the land belonged to the territory occupied by reinforcements, and that the armies of other lords who wanted to pass through it had to obtain Valentine, the commander of the reinforcements from Handanar. Permission of the Marquis of Heller.
Andrew smiled and asked the captain of the constructed swordsman team: "The north and south passes of the Moyunling Heights are currently under the occupation of Count Surdak, and when you want to go home, do you also have to get permission from Count Surdak?" ”
The captain of the constructed swordsman could only smile awkwardly and did not answer Andrew's question.
A few days later, Andrew received a message from the Recon Magician.
At present, three demon legions are coming out of the North Sunderland Mountains, and are currently on the plains at the foot of the mountains, preparing to pass through the hills of Villagasi and rush in the direction of the large army of the Western Route Army.
Andrew originally wanted to lead these 1,500 constructed knights and 2,500 ant cavalry to ambush one of the demon legions on the southern edge of the Viliagassi hills, even if he couldn't stop them completely, he had to use the maneuverability of the constructed knights to bite this demon legion a few times.
But he thought about it, Surdak usually always makes himself bigger, don't always think about rushing to the front when fighting, and have the consciousness of being a commander.
So there was this visit to Simon. The Marquis Geoffrey's trip.
Seeing that the guards outside the camp invited him in, Andrew strode into the camp of the constructed swordsmen.
The camp inhabited by fifteen hundred people was not very large, with more than two hundred tents arranged in a messy manner on the hillside, of which the tent belonging to the Marquis of Simon Geoffrey was the largest, and a flag fluttered in the wind on the top of the tents.
The swordsmen in the barracks looked very casual, and there were more than a dozen swordsmen in the open space in front of the camp camp.
Those flashy sword moves will always make people feel that the two swordsmen are walking a tightrope, and the slightest mistake will cause unnecessary damage, and in general, the ornamentation is much higher than the practicality.
Andrew didn't bother to look at it, and walked straight to the front of the largest tent, where Marquis Geoffrey was standing outside, squinting at Andrew who came over.
As a second-turn powerhouse, in addition to wearing a second-level magic pattern uniform, Andrew also carried an epic axe on his back, with a sharp edge and murderous aura in his steps, which was the aura sharpened from the battlefield, which made him exude a powerful coercion, forcing the swordsmen beside Marquis Jeffrey to take a step back.
There were only three swordsmen beside the Marquis of Jeffrey who looked at Andrew with calm eyes, these swordsmen were also second-turn powerhouses like Andrew, and Andrew could smell the dangerous aura of his own kind from them.
】
"Andrew of the Knights of Surdak Lords' Constructed Order meets Venerable Simon. Lord Marquis Geoffrey! ”
Andrew knightly saluted and greeted Baron Jeffrey.
Marquis Simon Geoffrey narrowed his eyes and looked at the warrior in front of him with a reckless aura all over his body, his face had the characteristics of the aborigines of the plane, and there were fine totem tattoos at the base of his ears, and the aura of a strong man burst out from his body, which looked very imposing.
He was a little envious of Surdak's luck to find such a capable subordinate.
The three second-turn swordsmen around him were nominally subordinate to him, but in fact they were also nobles, and the Marquis Geoffrey had to be polite every time he spoke.
If it is a second-turn powerhouse with the status of a knight, maybe he will not have this concern.
The Marquis Geoffrey stood at the door of the tent and did not invite Andrew into the tent to sit down.
Apparently also showing his attitude, he took two steps forward, stood in front of Andrew and asked:
"I heard you just won a victory?"
Andrew raised his head with his stomach straight, and said loudly, "Yes, it's in the area of Mevajisi Canyon." ”
"So...... What are you doing here to find me? "Simon. Marquis Geoffrey had an aristocratic arrogance on his face, as if he had no such expression on his face, and then said, "If you are here to sell us some unidentified Black Crystals, you will probably have to go to Marquis Vorstizer." ”
Andrew said straight to the point: "According to the intelligence of the Western Route Army Reconnaissance Group, there are currently three demon legions approaching here, and I am here to be able to ambush one of the demon legions with your Constructed Swordsman Regiment of Lord Marquis." ”
Marquis Jeffrey Tong Kong shrank slightly, and then asked, "Then do you know how many demon warriors there are in these demon legions?" ”
"The smallest army of demons...... There are about fifteen thousand demon warriors. Andrew replied calmly.
Marquis Geoffrey looked into Andrew's eyes and asked, "And how many people are in your Constructed Knights?" ”
"Fifteen hundred Constructed Knights......" Andrew replied aloud, in fact he wanted to say, 'and two thousand five hundred ant cavalry and seven thousand giant ghost soldiers.'
Unfortunately, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the conceited Marquis Geoffrey.
"In other words, with the addition of the constructed swordsmen on my side, there are only three thousand constructed warriors in total?" Marquis Geoffrey's face twisted slightly, and then he asked, "Do you think we Constructed Warriors can defeat that demon army?" ”
"It should be ......," Andrew replied confidently.
"What do you think?" The Marquis Geoffrey was amused, and he turned and walked a few steps towards the tent, then turned back and said in a loud voice:
"I think...... You may have won too many battles and have seriously underestimated the true strength of those demon warriors, do you know that there will be a lot of uncertainties in this, and the most elite constructed swordsmen of the Bednar Legion face the demons on the battlefield, and they must maintain a 1:1 to have a slight advantage. ”
"If you still have a heavy cavalry regiment of more than 10,000 in your hands now, and this heavy cavalry will rush to the forefront at the beginning of the war, I don't mind joining forces with you to fight against this demon army."
"But you didn't...... So I'm sorry, I'm not interested in anything. ”
With that, the Marquis Geoffrey turned around and walked into the tent, ignoring Andrew.
Andrew wanted to catch up and persuade him, but was stopped by the combined efforts of three second-turn powerhouses and swordsmen.
"Captain Andrew, please!" One of the guards said to Andrew, his tone becoming a little unceremoniously.
Andrew snorted, turned and left the camp of the Constructed Swordsmen.
Prepare to take on the approaching army of demons on your own......
……
The vast meadow can be seen far away......
But on the overlapping hills, if you want to detect enemies in the distance, you need one or two magicians.
Since there is a magician reconnaissance team in the Western Route Army, Andrew can accurately grasp the whereabouts of evil ghosts.
At this moment, the vanguard of a demon army had already climbed over the overlapping hills and quickly approached this side.
Fifteen hundred Constructed Knights have already prepared everything, all the extra loads on the Demon Pattern War Horses have been removed, these Demon Pattern War Horses have been fully rested, and even the Constructed Knights are in the best state to face the battle.
All the constructed knights lined up in a row and pulled out a nearly kilometer-long line on the earthen hill.
They carried the wind and sand and the sun on their backs, and each carried a five-meter-long knight's spear in his hand.
The demonic warhorse stepped on the fluffy moss, snorting from time to time.
The wet air blew on the body, making people's clothes damp, and there was a fishy sweet smell floating in the air, this strange smell was emitted by the moss on the ground, and many of the blue and purple moss even bloomed with small yellow flowers the size of rice grains.
An earthworm crawled out of the dirt with a wriggling twist of pink tendons that looked like a small snake.
A magic flare lit up in the sky in the distance, and Andrew set his eyes on the flare before saying, "They're coming!" Everybody! We are ready to fight! ”
All the knights raised their spears......
The vanguard of the Demon Legion appeared at the top of the grassy slope opposite, revealing the head of a demon warrior, followed by a second and then a third...... After that, a large number of demon warriors poured out, and almost the entire slope was filled.
Almost all the demon warriors let out a low roar in unison, and for a moment the sound of ghosts crying wolves sounded on the grassy slope opposite.
……
Marquis Simon Jeffrey had already packed his bags, but they were just unwilling to leave like this, until they saw a large number of evil spirits appearing on the hillside not far away, and Marquis Geoffrey led the Constructed Swordsmen to retreat eastward.
The Marquis of Jeffrey didn't go very far, though.
He saw that even if the demon army rushed towards here, his army of armored swordsmen could easily shake off the pursuing evil spirits in this meadow.
He let the Constructed Knights rest in place here, while he stood at the top of the hill with a few cronies and the head of the Swordsman Regiment, ready to wait and see how strong the Constructed Knights of the Western Route Army really were.
I heard that this Constructed Knights represents the highest combat power of the Western Route Army, and it can be regarded as a banner of the Lord of Surdak.
Marquis Geoffrey has not seen how strong this Constructed Knights is for the time being, why do 1,500 people have the courage to fight against a demon army?
So when Simon. Geoffrey saw the traces of evil spirits on the high hill in the northern hills, and there was even a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that the evil spirits would be able to defeat this Constructed Knights in one fell swoop.
A large number of demon warriors began to assemble on the opposite hillside, and by the time the demons had gathered nearly four thousand, the grassy slope was already crowded with demons.
Under the command of the demon general, they were even able to awkwardly line up in long rows, one row after another to form a phalanx that was not too neat.
These demon warriors had been hiding in the mountains of North Sunderland for a long time and gnawing on the bark of trees, and now they were finally able to climb out of the mountains and see such fat humans and war horses in front of them, and the number was only a small ...... Four or five thousand demons rushed forward, and even one person and one kick could trample this group of costumed knights to death.
Many of the demon warriors realized that the battle didn't seem to be that dangerous, and the smell of meat wafting through the air was too much for many demons to bear......
The demon warriors in the front row began to walk forward involuntarily, their blades in their hands, and the bone spurs on their bodies grew little by little.
Although the footsteps were messy, many evil ghosts rushed down the grassy slope at the same time, and the footsteps were connected, like spring thunder exploding in the distance, and the sound was low and connected into a line.
Marquis Geoffrey and his constructed swordsmen watched from afar, waiting for this group of demon warriors to rush over, and then completely destroy the constructed knights of the Western Route Army, and if they were lucky, they might be able to pick up a few more repaired and usable magic pattern constructs on the battlefield, and then they could earn it.
The demon warriors at the front were slow at first, but every time they fell, it seemed to give them a glimmer of courage.
With the accumulation of these courages, the demon warriors ran faster and faster, and the demon warriors at the front seemed to be disconnected from those behind.
Then the demons behind also began to run wildly......
When all the demons began to run wildly, the grass on the opposite side shook.
……
On the high post stood a row of knights in costume, and Andrew stood at the front of the knights.
He saw that the demons began to run wildly in this direction, and he was worried that the charging distance of the Constructed Knight would be greatly reduced, so he hurriedly raised the Butcher's Child in his hand and shouted, "For the glory of Bena!" ”
"Rush!" The knights shouted.
A group of knights in costume immediately clamped their legs around the belly of their horses, and a group of demonic warhorses rushed out like arrows from the string.
The demon general who was at the forefront of the demon army looked puzzled, and he couldn't understand how such a pre-constructed knight dared to be so decisive......
I saw a large group of ant cavalry emerge from behind a row of constructed knights, and those ghostly soldiers with hideous heads charged behind the cavalry with spears in their hands.
The demon legion rushed down the grassy slope opposite, only two hundred meters away from the charging constructed knights......
Andrew led the group of constructed knights without slowing down at all, and rushed straight towards the demon warriors in the front row.
Just when the demon warriors were covered with fine bone spurs, and each demon became like a black hedgehog, countless giant ghost tattooed soldiers suddenly drilled out of the mossy earth under the demon's feet, and the moment they broke through the ground, the giant pincers on the top of their heads clamped the ankles and calves of the demon warriors, and the sound of countless bones rubbing sounded.
Under the action of inertia, many running evil ghosts were forced to break a leg by the giant ghost-patterned soldier ants......
