Tlubrunn.

The once deserted village has been rebuilt and is now the domain of Orth, the head of the Owl Knights.

When Leon was made the Grand Duke of Changhe Town, he gave him the title of Trubrun.

However, the place was not built as a settlement, but was built into a sentinel fortress by Orth.

Orth was a very self-aware man, and he didn't think he had the ability or financial resources to build this place into a wealthy town like Wheat Collar, so he chose to build this place into an outpost between Long River Town and Wheat Collar.

This is also very much in line with the Owl Knights' specialty, as long as there are enemies around, the Night Owls will always be the first to spot and quickly notify Mai Xiangling and Long River.

Kairos led the cavalry to attack McChanel, and thanks to Orth's early warning, the non-commissioned officers had plenty of time to evacuate the farmers and transfer supplies.

But Ols didn't evacuate Trubrunn, and this time he made a very different decision - to fight a mantis arm-like blocking battle in Trubrunn.

It's not that Ors has suddenly become a hero, in fact he trembles with fear...... He feared that the Owl Knights would be destroyed here.

But there are some people, after becoming lords, who only know how to be powerful; Some people, on the other hand, always think of responsibilities and obligations.

Orth is now a noble lord and is no longer the leader of an illegal Knights.

In Ors's opinion, as a lord, it is his duty to defend the land, and the villagers should evacuate, but they must not flee.

So, after discovering Kairos's troops, he had some of his owl knights retreat with the villagers to Long River, while he and some knights who volunteered to fight to the death remained here.

But he didn't expect that when Keros passed by Truebrun, he didn't stop at all, but went straight to McXiangling - the troops of the full cavalry really didn't need to pay attention to such outposts, and Keros didn't plan to capture any castles, his purpose was just to force Leon and Bacchus to go to war.

Keros's actions this time are actually more like raiders, especially like Gatu's raiders - they don't attack cities, they only destroy villages and towns.

After destroying the McXiangling, Keros passed by the vicinity of Troubrun again on his way to Long River, still ignoring the outpost......

Seeing that the enemy had passed near his territory twice without stopping at all, Orth could certainly see that this was the path of the raiders—the Sentinel Fortress of Trubrun was only a hundred men, and they were reluctant to attack, which meant that the enemy was neither willing to waste time nor to fight a storm.

During the past twenty years, when Ors wandered as an illegal knight, he most often faced raiders in the process of helping the village.

If that's the case, then Ors isn't so scared......

Then the non-commissioned officers led by Mai Xiang arrived, determined to stop the enemy here.

Orth was one of the few people who knew that these 'farmers' were elite warriors - his first encounter with Leon was when he met Leon's original non-commissioned officer unit at Tlubrun.

As a result, Orth, who had been waiting for the enemy's attack with a determination to die, recalled all the owl knights and began to take the initiative to launch a guerrilla night attack on Kairos's troops.

Orth's aim is to delay—the most uncomfortable thing for raiders who are unwilling to fight a tough battle is to be held back.

If it was a head-on confrontation, the Owl Knights would definitely not be able to withstand a charge from the Shadow Legion, but when it came to night scout battles, the night owls were definitely the top in the entire continent.

Ever since the moment Keros's team decided to retreat south outside of Long River, there have been a steady stream of accidents.

First of all, when the camp was set up at night, there were constant enemy attack sirens in all directions, and the army urgently assembled three times during the night, and did not sleep all night, but after each assembly there was no trace of the enemy......

Subsequently, the sleep-deprived unit spent a whole day, but withdrew only to the vicinity of Trubrun.

No matter what kind of troops it is, it won't be able to get up quickly if you don't get a good night's sleep.

The next night, Keros ordered to rest in batches, with a third of the men on standby all the time.

But it was useless, there were not so many enemy attacks that night, but as long as the outpost detectives at night were alone, they would inevitably disappear mysteriously.

A dozen scouts disappeared in one night, but they didn't even see the shadow of the enemy......

At this moment, Kairos naturally understood that the Sentry Fortress of Trubrun was not an ordinary militia outpost, and if he didn't kill them, he probably wouldn't want to sleep.

But unexpectedly, after Kairos led the army to attack Troubrun, he was faced with a vast array of carriages - there were indeed many carriages in Mai Xiangling, and there were wholesale markets and bus fleets, and there were many buses and wagons.

The cavalry fought in a chariot formation, which must have suffered heavy losses, so Keros turned his head and retreated, but before he could withdraw a few miles, he found that there was a cavalry of the Lion Realm chasing after him.

There were not many of them, but they were so determined that they felt like they were going to catch up and fight a battle of annihilation.

Normally, this kind of situation where a few people chase the majority usually means that there are more large troops behind them - this is also in line with the current situation, and the Noldor Elves are likely to come over soon.

Keros had no choice but to let the large army turn back and destroy the pursuing cavalry first.

But as soon as the large force turned back, the cavalry quickly dispersed into several squads, and then disappeared in a puff of smoke - they were all too familiar with the geography of the area.

There was no way, Keros had to continue to retreat, but as soon as he turned around, another cavalry of more than 100 people chased after him...... This time it's the Knights of the Owls, because it's dusk again.

As a result, for several days in a row, I couldn't sleep at night, and I couldn't march normally during the day, so it was definitely not a way to go on like this......

Moreover, if you continue to retreat to the southwest, you will have to pass through a foggy area for several hundred miles, and since the opponent appears very strong at night, I am afraid that there will be great losses in the foggy area......

In fact, Kairos's judgment was a bit wrong, the Owl Knights are indeed very powerful at night, but that is because they are used to acting at night, and the daily routine of the entire Knights is day and night...... But in the misty area under the Goddess Mountain, the Owl Knights are no different from ordinary people......

But Keros didn't know this, and in order to prevent these people from following them into the Fog Zone, Keros could only make up his mind to kill these annoying tails.

But in the early morning, when Keros saw the tails again, he saw a large carriage - not far from where he had set up camp, and the non-commissioned officers led by McIncense had moved the cart to the vicinity of Keros's camp, taking advantage of the Owl Knights' night scouts.

It was clear that Orth and the non-commissioned officers were there to get Keros to retreat into the Fog Zone.

Now Kairos has no choice, fight, even if the loss is big, he will admit it, if he doesn't defeat these people, the estimated price will be heavier.

In fact, the non-commissioned officers did not use any particularly clever tactics, nothing more than regular guerrilla warfare, coupled with the flexible use of horse-drawn carriages, combined with the night advantage of the Owl Knights.

However, this is just right for the current situation.

Combined, Keros was dragged around for almost ten days - although there were six times the number of the opponent, the cavalry chariot formation was really unable to fight.

Kairos used the centurions of the Shadow Legion to dismount as infantry, and the troops of the Bacchus Empire were quite strong in battle, but even so, after six or seven days, they still couldn't completely gnaw down this car formation.

But the non-commissioned officers did suffer a lot of losses, and Keros's troops were quite combat-ready, and by the time Leon arrived, the non-commissioned officers had already lost a third of their lives, almost all of them were wounded, and they were on the verge of collapse.

The biggest reason for maintaining the non-commissioned officers is a reason that even Li Ang himself did not expect - they all know that Li Ang is about to be crowned king......

After all, this matter was reported by Eric, and Eric and these non-commissioned officers are comrades-in-arms.

As the first army under Li Ang, the partner of the Maixiang Group, the first batch of manor owners under Li Ang, and the Yuan Cong army who used to eat and make money with Li Ang, what will become when Li Ang becomes the queen?

After Li Ang got Changhe Town, he immediately made some non-commissioned officers become tax collectors.

And if Leon becomes king, what will they hold?

Loyalty and determination, or even strong faith, usually come from hope for the future.

And Leon has always been very generous to his own people, and that guy Eric is now a big man.

Keros really didn't expect this mere 400 people to be so resilient, and when he could see with the naked eye that there were Noldor elves appearing from the southeast, he knew that he had to evacuate immediately, regardless of the losses.

Or rather, it is not called evacuation, but escape.

Leon brought all the Noldor elves, the number was close to two thousand, including more than eight hundred cavalry - in fact, most of the Noldor could ride horses, but the Noldor elves did not raise many horses.

In addition to *** Dil's troops, all the Noldor elves who were willing to obey Leon's command were brought by him.

With a Noldor elf of this scale, anyone who sees it will have to escape......

After all, even the 'militia' among the Noldor Elves, that is, the ordinary Noldor Hunters, is basically equivalent to the top elite of the human race.

If the Noldor Forest hadn't been burned, Leon wouldn't have been able to bring out so many Noldor spirits who were willing to obey his orders......

Keros no longer cared about the losses, he left behind the hundreds of people in the attacking chariot formation, left them behind, and then quickly fled in the direction of Seromis with the others.

Flee to Serenmis, of course, in order to retreat directly south to Karen Rouburg.

But Leon, of course, didn't want Keros to escape like this, and he pursued the Noldor elves with horses all the way, catching up with Keros's forces south of Serenmis.

The Noldor elves are lightly equipped, and the Noldorma are faster, so they can naturally catch up.

However, when Keros stopped caring about the losses, the Shadow Legion became terrifying.

As the commander of the Shadow Legion, Kairos's martial arts are indeed top-notch, and the members of the Shadow Legion all have good martial arts, this legion inherited from General Osa has not decayed in the past one hundred and sixty years, they just do not agree with Emperor Marius's policies.

Leon, who had eight hundred Nodo, just caught up with Kairos's troops, and found that Kairos's team had dismounted en masse!

Keros caused his troops to abandon their horses, driving at least half of them back and charging back, disrupting the lineup of the Noldor elves.

Subsequently, the Shadow Army united into a phalanx, formed a rigorous array with large shields and spears, and turned back to fight with Li Ang.

This is a very practical and simple tactic - show the enemy weakness, then wait for an opportunity to disrupt the enemy, and then use the army to fight the disorganized cavalry.

Keros put himself on the underdog, even if he was outnumbered.

The military formations used were also very old - phalanxes of swords, shields and spears.

But this simple tactic appeared at such a time, and Li Ang couldn't crack it......

Because the worst thing the Noldor elves are good at is to fight in formation......

Most of them weren't originally warriors, and many came with hatred;

Coupled with the fact that the Noldos are always used to rescuing their companions, this is of course a good habit, but in battle, it can disrupt their lineup.

What does it take to fight in formation?

Good discipline, a steady mindset, and most importantly – not afraid of sacrifice.

But none of these points are available to the Noldors......

The long paradox is a slow hedgehog, and if there is still some distance between the two armies, the Noldor Elves can easily deal with such a formation - if there is a slope or trench, the Noldor Elves can shoot everything with their bows and arrows.

But now that the two armies are basically face to face, and the lineup of the Noldor Elves has been scattered by thousands of horses, Keros's sudden sudden attack really caught the Noldor Elves off guard.

Leon hurriedly ordered to disperse and retreat, but the hate-filled Noldor elves were close to the enemy at the moment, and except for the Ranger Guard, who was more familiar with Leon, the other Noldor rushed forward frantically......

The Noldor Elf, who did not have a spear, rode a high-speed war horse and used a sword and shield to attack the spear array......

The Noldor elves, who originally had the advantage in overall strength, lost dozens of people in a single shot, and in the follow-up battle, they could only exchange one with the enemy!

Because they fought as skirmishers, they basically fought on their own.

It may seem sad, but that's the price of being blinded by hate......

"Stand back...... Stand back, don't rush! Damn! ”

Leon shouted hoarsely, but seeing that the Noldors were still charging in a straggler state, he took out all the grenades on his body, lit them all, and threw them at Kairos's troops.

If the grenade is used in a planned way, it can be very effective in the face of dense shield arrays, but now, in order to reduce the losses of the Noldor elves, Leon has to use this big killing weapon as a simple reminder.

He was still some distance away from Kairos's troops, and the grenades were basically only thrown at the shields of the soldiers on the periphery.

"Boom!" "Boom ......"

After being hit by the shield bullet to the ground, the grenade exploded, causing only five Bacchus shield men to be injured......

But the loud sound of the grenade alerted the Noldor elves......

Here, there's a Magister!

Most of the Noldor elves, who had finally been awakened from their hatred, began to retreat, but Keros turned a deaf ear to the explosion, and he began to quickly retreat with his men.

By the time Leon had finally regrouped the scattered Noldor elves, Keros's party had retreated to a hill with a lot of mountains.

At this point, it is unlikely that Kairos will be dealt with quickly, and even the Noldor Elves will have a hard time shooting at the Bacchus crossbowmen who occupy the top of the mountain.
