The Great Horned Beasts, Tallinnam knew, belonged to the elite of the Beastmen, and were not something that ordinary people could defeat. The militia had been out of breath against a bunch of inferior Hornless Beasts before, let alone against a bunch of Horned Beasts now.

Tallinnam knew that with his own strength, he could single-handedly take out at least three horned beasts. But if it exceeds that number, it's hard to say. If a horde of horned beasts besieged him, Tallinnham knew he would be unable to resist it. Skill can make up for some, but not all. In the face of absolute power, skill is just in vain.

So, to defeat this gang of horned beasts, you can't be brute. Tallinnham had already figured out the strategy. That's the trap. For thousands of years, humans have relied on various means to catch wild beasts, and trap technology has long been proficient. Beastmen and beasts are similar, and Tallinnham knows that traps are the best way to defeat the Bighorns.

Unlike the Bretonnian Knights, Tallinnham does not pay attention to chivalry, and fights the enemy head-on. After having the militia make a trap, he threw a live goat into the trap to wait for the prey to take the bait. The crossbowmen hid far away, watching the jungle with binoculars and smearing poison on clusters of arrows.

At the same time, Tallinnham fed and slept well, and after the trap was ready, the waiting for the prey could be half a day, or a day, two days, or ten days. It's hard to say, patience is important. During this time, Tallinnham did not want anyone to leave their posts without permission.

"Your Excellency. ”

"Call me Tallinnam, I'm not an adult. ”

While waiting, Kane, the leader of the militia, spoke to Tallinnham again. Waiting for the beast to take the bait, although this thing is exciting, but the process is boring and long. Kane had fallen asleep many times during this time, but luckily the Beastmen didn't come, so Tallinnham didn't wake him up.

"Well, Tallinnam, have you hunted beastmen before?"

Militia Captain Kane asked.

"Hmm. Often, in the land of my birth, beastmen are also infested. ”

Tallinnam replied. He turned, leaned against the trunk of a tree, and handed over the sentry to another valley militia.

"Well, that's how you used to fight? I mean, you were so strong that you killed five Hornless Beasts on your own. If it's us, it takes a lot of strength to hurt one. ”

Kane said. Tallinnham could not hear the slightest hint of boasting in his words. Because they don't need to pat themselves on the back in the first place. He is not a lord, so he can't give them anything at all, and even coming here to help them eradicate the beastmen is Berto's order. Love Literature Network

"Previous battles...... It's much more tragic than that. ”

Tallinnham said, lost in memory. Indeed, all the way, from Blackhammer Castle to Errengrad, from Errengrad to Cipher Castle, and finally through the Frontier Prince's Domain, to Bretonnia. Along the way, I have experienced too much, too much. Not to mention the Beastmen, creatures that are a hundred times more powerful than the Beastmen have been dealt with countless times. Fight vampires, trolls, giant spiders, and undead pirates in the Frontier Prince's Realm. Every time, the opponent is very strong, and every time, it seems like a dangerous situation. At the same time, along the way, his ability is also improving.

Berto was a peculiar lord, and Tallinnham knew that he was training himself. And the way of training is completely different from others. According to the old lord, the best way to bring out a person's potential is to put him to death. Only when life is threatened, the person can burst out with power that he would not normally dare to imagine. It was also in the process of such perverted training that Tallinnam's strength and skills improved rapidly. He was originally just an ordinary knight's squire, and when he was around Rhodes, he often had no presence. And now, Tallinnham can guarantee that Virgil, the chief knight under Rhodes, is not his opponent either.

"If only you were a knight. ”

Kane said with emotion.

"Hehe, don't say that. I'm not a knight, and I'll never be a knight in this country. You have a good lord like Berto, it's enough. ”

Tallinnham replied with a smile. Bretonnia, unlike other kingdoms, had an almost harsh class system. It is almost impossible for a commoner to counterattack and become a nobleman. And the nobility, if it is not for some unforgivable crime, will basically not be demoted to the title of nobility. A knight is always a knight, the descendants of a knight are still knights, and the descendants of a commoner are always a commoner, and there is basically no possibility of turning over.

In the past, Tallinnam was very strange that such a country could survive for so long, and that the common people at the bottom would not rebel against this unfair system? Later, after continuous understanding, I learned that the peasants of Bretonnia did not want to rebel against the aristocracy and against this unfair system. It's that they can't resist at all.

Bretonnia, like the Empire and Kislev, is surrounded by enemies. Vampires, wood elves, and beastmen are all kinds of threats. Although the commoners of Bretonnia are dissatisfied with the solidification of their status, they do not have the capital to resist, because in such a dangerous country, they do need the protection of the knight lord to survive. Just like this town, if it weren't for Berto and his knights as a backing, it would have been ravaged by the beastmen countless times, and the reason why the two sides came and went, maintaining a fragile balance, was because the knights of Bretonnia tried their best to maintain the safety of their territory.

There was once a story about a group of Bretonnian peasants, dissatisfied with the exploitation of the noble lords in their realm, gathered together and quietly smuggled to the Empire. As a result, they were attacked by a team of beastmen on the road, resulting in the death of two-thirds of the team. When those who survived returned to their homeland, the lords there no longer took them in. Since then, these survivors have become refugees everywhere...... Through this story, Tallinnham can intuitively understand what kind of country Bretonnia is. It is also understandable how the country has survived the long years.

......

On the third day, the Beastmen finally came into view, and unlike what they expected, there were only a dozen horned beasts and two centaurs in this beastmen team. According to the original plan, there should be more than two dozen horned beasts. But don't think about it that much. Tallinnham knew that even a dozen horned beasts would be enough for the militiamen.

In the middle of winter, the bighorns swaggered through the woods shirtless. Through the telescope, Tallinnham could see that his equipment was all broken copper. It can be seen that most of the weapons were snatched from the dead, and some of the two-handed hammers and axes used by humans have become one-handed weapons on the Bighorn side. They are much taller than the average adult human. The preliminary estimate is about two meters four or five. The muscles are like rocks attached to the strong body.

When the beasts entered the trap, Tallinnham ordered his crossbowmen to get ready and shoot at their necks as they had been asked before the battle, though it was not known if the militia had such archery skills......
