Chapter 170: Engagement

Early in the morning, a team of 1,000 men crossed the battered city and quietly stepped into the originally divided border line of the Somme, and entered the territory of the Somme. The task of this thousand-person team is to explore the nearby terrain www.biquge.info pen ~ fun ~ pavilion, and there are more than a dozen teams like this. Although the commanders did not know the meaning behind this order, their keen sense of war made them understand that the war was far from over.

After a short period of training, the soldiers held a simple drawing board and constantly painted the nearby terrain, but it didn't matter if it was accurate or inaccurate. Once war breaks out, flying heroes only need a striking reference to adjust their route. The purpose of this exploration is to draw as many eye-catching references as possible on a handmade map. [For example, every thousand steps is drawn as an inch, and a straight line of one inch is drawn after a thousand steps, and there is an old tree in the distance, about 1,500 steps, and a tree is drawn an inch and a half away.] In ancient times, there was no way to make the map inaccurate, and there were often more than a dozen versions of the map drawn in the same place.

A war had just been won, and from top to bottom, everyone had a pride in their chests. Destroying the might of the country, not hiding or hiding, just entered the border of another country.

A group of sentinels in the distance hung far behind this team, and the commander sent someone to drive them away twice, and the other party immediately ran away when he saw the wind and grass, and ran back when he couldn't chase him, hanging from a distance.

"If you want me to say, the Great Commander might as well directly order the legion to push over, no matter who the other party is, we will definitely be able to win. I've heard that there are now 300 heroes gathered on the front line, and the Knights of the Holy Light also came over yesterday, which must be to prepare for the next war. I don't know when, the ****** will be posted on it. The soldier carrying the two-handed axe chatted with his companion beside him, the tight muscles bulged high, almost bursting the standard military uniform, and every button seemed to suffer the greatest pull, making people afraid that they would collapse because of a strong man's movement.

The little friend with the sword and shield on his back on the side couldn't help but nod, "I think so too, with our current strength, we don't need to worry so much at all." As long as the gods can hold off the gods on Somme's side, we can do the rest ourselves. As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly, and whispered: "Do you know? The Holy Light Knights have made a lot of money this time, destroying seven legions head-on, and expanding to five thousand people in one go, good guys, those people are really powerful! I thought that only Captain Michael was very powerful, but I didn't expect Deputy Commander Austin to be so strong!"

The strong man couldn't help but show yearning, smacked his lips, and said with some envy: "I don't know when I will be able to awaken the holy power, that is the only way for me to step into the cavalry in one step." ”

"Cavalry?", the little friend sneered, "You still want to be a cavalryman?"

The people around them burst into laughter, not caring that they were already in enemy territory. The strong man is more than 1.9 meters tall, his body is strong, he alone weighs more than 200 catties, plus the armor and the two-handed battle axe of more than 40 catties, the weight of 300 catties is enough to crush some ordinary mounts, unless it is a monster mount, otherwise there is really no animal that can carry him all the way to kill the enemy and rush into battle.

The strong man's face was slightly red, a little annoyed, his weight and weapons have always restricted him from becoming a knight for a day or two, otherwise with his combat strength and combat exploits, it is enough for him to be promoted to a knight.

"Don't underestimate people! Maybe after a while I will awaken the Holy Power, maybe you don't come to scold me when the time comes, Master Cormier is not a generous person!"

Everyone laughed again, and Master Cormier, a ruffian!

Cormier touched the cross around his neck, and everyone else's cross was on his chest, but his neck was so thick that others could make the cross hang down to his chest, but he seemed to be tied to his neck. He wasn't really angry, everyone was very yearning for the Holy Light Knights, which was full of the most powerful warriors in the army, the strongest team in combat effectiveness, and the most invincible team. As a soldier, a warrior, a little self-motivated, no one will be willing to stay in the ordinary legion sequence.

In the last decisive battle, the knights in the Holy Light Knights were averaged, and each of them was beheaded at least ten levels, and powerful knights such as centurion and thousand-legged were beheaded by dozens of levels.

Someone once said privately that the Holy Light Knights will soon become a master's group, just because the worst people in it can quickly get a knighthood, and those more powerful barons and viscounts are not a few. Powerful commanders like Michael and Austen may become dukes and nobles second to none after the end of the all-out war.

But then again, the Grand Commander Tostai has been working on a military lord plan recently, planning to separate the military nobles from the civil nobles, starting from the knights, what guardian knights, earth knights, sky knights, supreme knights and the like. There is a lot of interest in this within the army, because military exploits are the foundation of their beginnings, and separating them from civilian officials also means something different.

The marching procession came to a halt suddenly, and the commander on his mount raised his hand to stop the procession, frowning slightly, and looked at the adjutant beside him. The adjutant immediately plunged a straight stick into the dirt, installed a small cup-like utensil on the top of the stick, and poured some water into it. More than a dozen pairs of eyes were glued to the vessel, and the water in the vessel suddenly shook, causing a slight ripple. The centurions in the team looked at each other a few times, immediately pulled out the weapons on their waists and raised them high, and roared loudly, "Enemy attack!

The procession of thousands of people immediately moved in the direction pointed by the long sword in the commander's hand. A strong man of 100 people walked to the front of the team, attached the tower shield on the board car to the groove on his arm, and firmly inserted it into the dirt in front of him. Chang Ge soldiers followed, hiding behind the tower shield, and Chang Ge was flat outward. The two-handed and heavily armed warriors in charge of attacking the fortified stood in the third row, their weapons dragging diagonally to the ground. Other lightly armed soldiers followed behind them.

Fifty archers were lined up at the end of the phalanx, and the quivers that were carried behind them were untied and tied around their waists, and the arrows were also on the strings, ready to be thrown.

In less than five minutes, the strongest release of the phalanx showed a team of enemies, the banner of the blue bird fluttered in the wind, and a group of soldiers appeared on the grassland with half a man's height in the barren grass.

With a distance of more than 200 meters between the two sides, one of the other side stepped out of the ranks, walked to the middle, and shouted: "Men of Jeruth, please leave our country at once, you are trying in vain to provoke war! If you do not leave after ten breaths, then fight!"

The man threw a long dagger into the ground and turned his horse's head back into the group.

The commander's eyes flashed, and he lowered his voice and instructed, "Prepare for battle!"

Cormier stood in the phalanx, his nostrils opening involuntarily, panting, the muscles up and down his body squirmed for a while, his hands tightly grasped the handle of the two-handed axe, twisted his shoulders, and began to make final preparations. His slightly narrowed eyes lost the ease and comfort they had before, revealing a chilling killing intent.

The occasional chirping of insects, birds, and beasts on the grassland disappeared without a trace, leaving only a deathly silence.
