Magic calendar 5 years chūn February 20 rì.

From the outside of the city, there is almost no difference between the Broken Ice Port and the usual time, the city wall is blowing the green flag in the sea wind, occasionally there are patrolling soldiers walking past the city wall, and there are more than 10 mercenaries outside the city gate that is the only one connected to the mainland road under the city to check the bags of the passing travelers.

For the ordinary soldiers of the small mercenary group, these days have been very difficult, and the instructions from above indicate that the enemy should have arrived 3 days ago, and the rìzi who was tight inside and loose outside tightened everyone's jīng gods, and the mercenaries standing guard outside the city gate had already been replaced by older ones - in the first few days, as long as a slightly larger caravan appeared in the distance, those young teenagers nervously activated the emergency reporting system, and the mercenaries who were ambushed in the city were startled. A few shop owners near the city gate are considered to be unfavorable, and the store is cleared by a large number of soldiers every half a day, and the customers who finally come to the door are driven away. Of course, while being depressed, it is inevitable to greet the mercenaries with evil words, but fortunately, the discipline of the small mercenary group is relatively strict, and there is no evil incident. A few families are happy and a few are sad, some are scolding and some are grateful for the decision of the small mercenary group, under the high pressure of the policy of allowing people to enter and not to leave, all the guest rooms in the Broken Ice Harbor have been full these days, and it is said that even the horse shed has been cleared out to live in.

The members of the small mercenary group generally do not dare to go out on the street alone, in case they are dragged into a small alley, and it is not clear whether they are beaten up or forced to do some warm-up exercises by local poultry animals engaged in the tertiary industry in order to repay the prosperity of business.

If the word "benefactor" is uttered by a young woman, especially by a woman with heavy makeup in public, hehe...... The little mercenaries, who are only in their 10s, are not only blushing, but also afraid that their bodies will be hot. And, what made them even more unbearable was that these women's hands were extremely fast, and they might be able to hold somewhere...... In short, only the parties will know the joys and sorrows.

It's not just the grassroots mercenaries who are nervous, the belated arrival of the Fanos army has troubled the top of the small mercenary group. According to the common sense of military theory: soldiers are more valuable than speed, and when marching on the enemy's continent, we strive to achieve the goal in the shortest possible time, otherwise, once exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable. It is impossible for the commander-in-chief of Fanos not to take this into account. The current state of affairs can only illustrate one point: the commanders of the small mercenary group have misjudged.

Amy sat cross-legged on a chair with a straw stick in her mouth and watched Detian and several other berserker leaders walk around irritably, and their mouths were constantly bubbling with the swearing words of the berserkers.

Although everyone was irritable, in front of the berserker, everyone suppressed their emotions. Now the berserker battalion has become a key object of protection in the small mercenary group - there is nothing to dare to do with these masters, and whoever says a word will add fuel to the fire for the nervous berserkers, and if they don't do it, someone will go berserk once. In the past two days, the halls of the little mercenary group have been almost smashed into a bird's nest by the berserkers who have gone berserker. Now, several magicians have petrified magic scrolls in their hands at all times, and they can be used immediately in case of problems.

When the berserker battalion first joined the small mercenary group, Amy, Da Qingshan, Chi Aotian and other commanders still had some joy in their hearts, these guys casually pulled out a block that surpassed the strongest warriors in the big swordsman battalion, and the giant axe in his hand was comparable to Horns, and it undoubtedly surpassed the existing troops of the small mercenary group in terms of destructive power alone. What's even more satisfying is that these guys seem to be relatively simple-minded, in other words, tendons. With great power and few ideas, it is the ideal warrior for any commander.

Therefore, it seems that Amy and several other teenagers occasionally show the expression of being forced to receive by the berserkers, and in private, several teenagers have the idea of picking a big bargain, and in the next two months in the actual training, the combat power shown by the berserkers has conquered everyone's eyes, and when several young commanders talk about whether the berserker battalion will return the Xuanqing Land Xinglong Mercenary Group, they have completely skipped the original attitude of pushing back.

Of course, people who suddenly get a lot of windfall in an unexpected way will feel like being a thief, and Horns and Amy also muttered for a while, thinking about how to deal with it if the Xuanqing mercenary group came to ask for someone.

The result is also very strange, the Xuanqing Dragon Mercenary Group doesn't seem to have this battle sequence at all, and there has been no news for more than two months, Amy and the others thought that the Xuanqing Dragon Mercenary Group was embarrassed because of face problems and so on.

After the war order was issued, the cadres of the small mercenary group really woke up like a dream, and once these seemingly precious berserkers entered a tense state, the admirable combat power instantly transformed into even greater destructive power. Now, the teenagers know that all the things that happened in the past few months are afraid that they are simply a trap, and the Xuanqing Dragon Mercenary Group has long wanted to kick these big guys out of the house, and finally took this opportunity to realize their dream. The little mercenary group, on the other hand, is a poor creature who has picked up a pile of super big garbage in the wrong place.

Amy and Horns sat in the room, and the sunlight coming in from the window seemed to be incomparable—the masterpiece of the berserkers walking around. In this environment, it's good not to be suffocated, let alone figure out why the Fanos army didn't arrive as expected.

"Chief, the sniper battalion flew pigeons to deliver a message, 20 miles away from the city, it was dusty, and a large group of people were walking towards the ice port, and it was impossible to confirm whether they were soldiers or not. A small mercenary flashed out the door as soon as he made a report.

After restricting the vulture swordsman from taking off, the scout ability of the small mercenary group has dropped a lot, the original reconnaissance radius of the four vulture swordsmen is about 100 miles, and now, more than 100 blocking swordsmen can barely reach 20 miles after they are scattered, and across the hills and woods, the effect of the reconnaissance has dropped even more.

The air in the room suddenly became tense, and almost everyone could see the berserker's big hand clenching the tomahawk spasmodic, Amy nodded at Lin Yusheng, who was covering his nose, and the two first-level magicians released petrification magic at the same time, and the three berserkers turned to stone in a rage - everyone let out a long breath.

No one pleaded for these big guys, almost every boy's eyes fluttered with schadenfreude, deserved, these guys didn't stop from morning to night, although they didn't know who they were scolding, and they didn't know what they were scolding, but as long as you paid attention, you could see a few stupid big guys occasionally stopping and secretly looking at Amy and the others with their eyes. Now, it's a great pleasure.

"Be quiet, if you don't get out of jail, after two hours, the magic effect will wear off, just get up on your own. If...... You're still staring like this, and every one and a half hours, I'll ask the mercenaries of the Demon Swordsman Battalion to refresh your magic. Amy maliciously patted the three berserkers who were rioting.

The sniper fencer battalion sent a message that a team appeared 18 miles south of the city, and it was impossible to confirm whether it was a soldier or not. "A little mercenary was lost in a flash.

"Strange, how did the other party do it? It stands to reason that the ambush swordsman should not be far from the main road, why can't he tell the difference?" Amy flicked her forehead slightly.

"There's no need for the other party to do that, as long as the dust is flying, we'll definitely notice. Da Qingshan said strangely.

"Is it possible that it wasn't the army at all? If it weren't for the army, everything would be well explained, like a caravan full of goods. Horns followed everyone's train of thought.

"It's possible, the chūn season is frozen, it is the time for business travel, and the demand for goods from other places in the ice port is more urgent than in other cities, which is extremely likely. As soon as Amy finished speaking, several teenagers suddenly looked completely understood.

"He was almost deceived. In their excitement, the teenagers completely forgot that there was still a lady sitting in the room, and at the same time spoke foul language.

"I went to the city gate to deal with these cunning enemies, Daqingshan was responsible for initiating the ambush near the city gate, Horns was in charge of the overall situation, Uncle Balbas was in charge of guarding the harbor, and Chi Aotian asked the Vulture Swordsman battalion to be ready to meet the city gate at any time. Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Amy issued a series of orders, and for the high-ranking cadres of the small mercenary group, all of this was extremely skillful.

"Hey—what about us?" Lin Yusheng asked anxiously, pulling Sha Ruo.

"With Horns in the middle—" Throwing the last sentence, Amy summoned a few small mercenaries to mount their horses and rush to the city gates.

Arriving at the city gate, Amy led people up the stairs to the city wall quickly. At the moment of the great enemy, everyone was extremely cautious, squatting under the battlements of the city wall and the grassland jīng spirits and human archers mercenaries, the grassland jīng spirits suddenly emitted their various sè brilliance in their hands and carefully blessed the arrow feathers of the green sè, except for a few patrols who made a appearance to show people, all the other soldiers on the city wall had to crouch down and advance.

Amy hid alone behind the city flag and looked into the distance, the distance of the mainland road did raise dust, look at the height of the sky, the line was at least 100 meters long. If you look at the length of this team, the number of enemies is probably between 200~300. Amy's brows furrowed slightly, there shouldn't be so few people, even if a bear man of 300 comes, it is impossible to break into the city, it seems that the enemy has other steps.

In most battles in which the commanders of both sides are equally intelligent, the so-called surprise victory, scheming, and so on are empty words, and the truly good commander knows the opponent even better than the opponent himself. If the combat power is relatively equal, the only thing the commander can do in the battle is not to make mistakes while waiting for the opponent to make even a very small mistake, which is like two sword masters making a move, and the slightest mistake can lead to the fear of life.

At no time should you expect an idiotic trick in your opponent's command - a commander who thinks that way is a real idiot.

Facing a late opponent, Amy couldn't guess the opponent's next intention at this time, and it seemed that she could only strive to close the door and beat the dog according to the established plan.

Gradually, the crowd finally approached in the dusty smoke, and in front of them were a few middle-aged people who were dusty, although they had changed into civilian clothes, but at a glance, several people had the demeanor of a warrior. Behind a few people, it was already possible to tell that there were about fifty carts, each with at least two horses, and the sound of heavy wheels could be faintly heard. With such a large team, it is difficult not to be dusty.

"The team in front of you stand down, what kind of person! Get checked!" the older mercenary was extremely stable, and shouted loudly when the team in front of him was more than 200 meters apart.

There was confusion in the procession, and the coachmen were busy pulling the reins of their livestock. A man in a purple robe walked out of the procession and saluted the mercenaries with great respect: "Warriors, we are merchants from the distant mercenary empire, and we have brought peat from the mercenary empire and rare goods from the jīng spirit kingdom. We hold a commercial license issued by the Empire and come to sell items in your precious land. ”

"Oh?" the middle-aged mercenary showed just the right amount of suspicion, "Isn't your country at war now, how can you still allow caravans to go out?"

"Hehe, the mercenary empire is different from other countries, the whole country must rely on mercenary to make money, this war, the demand for goods is even more, now, is a good opportunity for us merchants to make money. The purple-robed middle-aged man's face was full of pride.

"That's right...... Come and get checked. "The middle-aged mercenary was instructed not to make the other party suspicious.

"Boys, leave a few bottles of the best jīng spirit wine we got from the jīng spirit forest to the soldiers, the soldiers have worked hard. Worthy of being a businessman, the middle-aged man behaved extremely sophisticated, smiling and greeting his buddy.

"Let him in. Amy hid behind the city gate and let the other mercenaries pass the word.

"That's good, that's good, there have been few caravans in recent months, and I guess my brother is going to make a lot of money again. The middle-aged mercenary said quietly: "Guys, hurry up and check, don't delay other people's business." ”

The coachman waved his whip to move the carriage, and the procession came in a mighty way.

200 meters.

A large red flag was raised inside the city gate.

150 meters.

A large yellow flag was raised inside the city gate.

120 meters.

The little mercenary inside the city gate quickly pulled the rope of the third green flag.

The atmosphere in the city was already extremely tense, and the archers of the city quietly divided into a part and ran to the inner wall, hiding themselves and under the battlements.

Suddenly, there was a low shout in the caravan, and the vehicle in front suddenly stopped, and the vehicle behind quickly wrapped up from both sides, and the majestic man jumped on the vehicle.

Despite their preparations, seeing these hideous-looking men, some of the mercenaries at the city gate still exclaimed. The men in uniform were divided into two faces, one seemed to be a mixture of the faces of berserkers and dwarves, each part of which was enlarged and raised, in a completely rough style, and the smaller warriors were taller and larger, and from a distance it seemed that these warriors possessed an agility that human warriors could not match, and if the faces of those warriors just now were still acceptable to humans, the faces of these warriors were more like beasts than humans, with two teeth sticking out of their lower lip and cloudy spit from the corners of their mouths from time to time。

These warriors all held huge shields in their hands, reflecting a faint glow in the sun, and there was no doubt that these pitch-black fellows were pure metal.

At the same time, the drivers jumped out of the car and suddenly had something in their hands - Amy exclaimed when she saw it through the doorway: "Get down and hide!"

The countless crossbows that flew like raindrops confirmed the terrifying aura in Amy's words - the huge shè force of the strong crossbow kissed the human body in an instant, and all the mercenaries outside the Broken Ice Harbor were shè into iron hedgehogs, and the sharp crossbow arrows ignored the thick armor at all, directly penetrating the weak ** of the human being, and even nailed the mercenaries to the city wall and city gate.

No mercenaries screamed, and all the unfortunate lost their lives in an instant.

"Brother--" Everyone shouted heart-rending at the gates.

The second wave of crossbow arrows entered the street from the city gate, and a few little mercenaries who couldn't dodge subconsciously raised the heavy wooden shield in their hands, and the crossbow arrows passed through the wooden shield with a bang, and the young men snorted in pain.

Then came a third wave of crossbow bolts, which went straight to the top of the wall, and several archers who stood up to look out fell to the ground with several arrows in their bodies. The crossbow bolts that burst out of the body rained blood and rained down on the small mercenary who was ambushed nearby, and the blood on his face was mottled.

Except for the groans of the wounded soldiers, there was silence inside and outside the city. Not a single mercenary made any more noise, which would undoubtedly invite a rain of arrows.

A deep and heavy voice sounded: "Please tell Your Excellency Amy that as an enemy opponent, it is really a lifelong regret that I cannot be a comrade-in-arms who fights side by side with him." Having His Excellency Amy as his old enemy is really something that no soldier wants to see, but it is also an honor. After a slight pause, a thick voice sounded again, and there was no lack of regret during it: "This attack, even if it is a reward for the last battle on Xilin Island, I lost my left shoulder last time, I sincerely hope that Your Excellency Amy will have better luck than me." ”

"Despicable—" A small mercenary on the city wall stood up angrily.

The fourth wave of crossbow arrows interrupted the young man's words, and with great resentment, the young man's body fell from the city wall.
