Chapter 120: The Great War Begins

Far away in the kingdom of Denmaka, Stephanie is still recruiting, but the Great Emirate of Fort Carmel has already started the war, and there are skirmishes almost every day.

Both sides were very restrained, did not immediately commit large-scale troops, they were not ready, and now a small-scale local war is possible.

The time of any large-scale war is measured in years, and it does not seem to be that far away from the winter of Karl's knighthood ceremony, but I have to admit that this is already the next winter, and it is the new year that Carl has come to this world.

The hibernating animals had already gone into hiding, and the flowers and plants seemed to be hiding themselves, and even the forests of central Fort Carmel were covered in snow.

"Whew, this damn weather, it's colder than in previous years!"

There was a station in the forest, and a Flo man flapped his hands, grumbling that he didn't want to be outside at all if he could.

Winter is cruel to anyone, whether it's the Flo or the Dillmans, or the Wikipedians who have lived in the north for a long time, they all hate winter, and a bitter winter can kill many people in the tribe.

"Chief, the lads of the tribe are running out of action." A Flo man wearing chain mail and looking like a leader walked to the tent in the center and pursed his lips.

"Zach, are you complaining to me about your displeasure?" Chief Mikhail looked at the leader with pupils, and Zach was a little uneasy with his eyes.

"It's not such a chieftain, it's just that you know, the lads don't have enough warmth in the cold winter, and we can't stay in this weather for long." Zach chief explained.

In this era, the leaders of the tribe were often the junior officers in the army, and in order to control the army, the leaders had to pass through these leaders, so the status of these leaders was not low.

But Mikhail had no such thoughts, and he did not want the leaders of his army to be dissatisfied with him.

"Hmph, cheer up your soldiers, there's those damn Dirkman activities here, if something goes wrong because your soldiers can't hold on, I'll ask you!" Chief Mikhail reprimanded mercilessly.

Zach gave Chief Mikhail a hateful look, but he quickly covered it up, and finally had to leave the tent.

"Damn, it's freezing here, where are the Dillmans, those guys should still be enjoying the warm fireplace in the castle by now!" Zach said viciously, and it was unpleasant to think that his enemies were enjoying the fireplace, while he and the boys of his tribe were cold.

They were recruited by the corresponding Great Chiefs to fight, not to be fools.

The Flo warriors who saw their leader come out of the tent dejectedly also guessed something, and showed some bitterness.

"Okay Zach, it's not a big deal." Seeing this, the other leader stepped up and patted Zach on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Go back to your place, and be careful that I sue you for leaving your post without permission." Zach said mercilessly.

The leader laughed, but returned to his place.

"Bang bang...... Boom Dash ......"

It was at this moment that a strange vibration came over and startled Zach.

"What is this?"

Before Zach could tell, a crossbow arrow shot out from the other side of the forest, piercing his chest.

"Poof!"

The power of the crossbow bolt directly caused Zach to fly upside down two meters, and Zach himself collapsed on the ground and convulsed.

The bolt pierced through his chest, he was hopeless, and he could clearly feel his life as it passed.

"Enemy attack!"

He used the last of his life to roar, and immediately all the Flo warriors who were still resting rushed over.

"Chief!"

More than a dozen of the Flo warriors shouted when they saw Zach dying, and then surrounded him, staring vigilantly in all directions.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

……

……

Zach's shouts were not in vain, and for a moment the sound of sirens was remembered all over the camp, and even Chief Mikhail, who had fallen asleep, was taken aback.

When he came out, he saw only one of the leaders crouching beside Zach with a grief-stricken face.

"Where the hell is the enemy!" Mikhail shouted.

"Chief Chief, that's a bunch of cavalry! I can't see their movements clearly, they are so fast, just raise your hand and a powerful arrow will shoot out! ”

"Just now, they took a lot of brothers away from us with a salvo." The Flo warrior crawled out and said with a handful of snot and tears.

"What?" Chief Mikhail looked confused, something could shoot something with a lift of his hand.

But soon he saw that, as the familiar vibration came again, a group of light cavalry wearing only simple leather armor appeared in the field of vision, they were not close to the camp of the Flos, and the number of trees between the two sides obscured a lot of vision, so that the figures of the cavalry loomed, a distance Mikhail thought to himself that even he might not be able to shoot with a bow and arrow.

"What do they want to do?"

Soon the other man answered his question, and the group of light cavalry raised the strange thing in their hands, and with a flick of their fingers, a row of arrows came at them.

"Damn it!"

Chief Mikhail's expression changed greatly, and his figure flashed and dodged, but the Flo warriors beside him were not so lucky, and the arrow directly exploded his head, and his brain spurted to the ground.

"Gods above, what kind of weapon is this?" Chief Mikhail's face turned a little pale.

But then he noticed that the group of cavalry archers had finished shooting and had quickly left, and it was very fast.

"Get on the horse! Leave them for me! Chief Mikhail shouted, his heart now filled with rage.

The chieftains, who had their own horses and armor, hurriedly mounted their horses and followed behind Chief Mikhail, and a simple company of heavy cavalry was completed.

"Chase!"

They rushed out and chased in the direction where the cavalry archers had disappeared.

……

"Haha, this hand crossbow invented by Lord Count is such a good thing, even I can hit every shot!"

In the cavalry archery team, the leading captain laughed and looked excited, which was much better than a bow and arrow, the only drawback was that the reload was too slow, and they had to shoot one round and then retreat to prepare for the next round.

"I want to rely on us to sweep through and kill all those Flo people now!" The captain's eyes lit up with gold, and this was a great achievement.

"Captain, our purpose is just to harass......" The cavalry on the side saw that their captain was eager to try, and he couldn't help but cry out in his heart, and hurriedly persuaded him.

"Well, you're right." The captain weighed it in his heart, and couldn't help but give up his idea, they didn't have many crossbow arrows in their shoes, and in fact, because this thing was not so long made, even the Earl didn't have much stock.

"Captain, they're coming after you!"

Suddenly, a cavalryman looked anxious, and a dozen heavily armed knights appeared behind him!

"Speed up, get rid of them!" The captain immediately gave the order, and when he had the order, the cavalry archers seemed to have a backbone, and immediately calmed down, put away their weapons, and bent down against the back of the horse, and the horse quickly accelerated.

"Cunning mouse!"

Chief Mikhail, who was chasing behind, gritted his teeth, the other side was all light cavalry, and the heavy cavalry on their side, the difference in weight was worlds apart, so that their horses could not get up at all, and the physical exertion was huge, and they had to rest in small steps after not running long.

"Whew!"

A bolt pierced the air with a screeching sound.

Chief Mikhail's heart slowed down, and a deadly sense of crisis emerged, and he hurriedly ducked.

He swallowed, touched the blood that was beginning to ooze from his face, his hands were shaking, and he almost lost his life here.

The captain couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he saw that the crossbow he turned around couldn't take away the other party, it took a long time to load a crossbow arrow, and he had been preparing for so long, but he was still dodged by the other side.

"Retreat!"

A loud roar caused the Flo chieftains, who wanted to continue the pursuit, to stop their horses, this order was given by Chief Mikhail, and they really couldn't catch up.

There is another reason, that is, they are also a little scared, just now there are indeed a few leaders who were shot off their horses by those who can still release arrows in the process of escaping, life and death are unknown, but it is estimated that there is more luck than luck.

"Let's retreat too!"

The captain, who saw the enemy slowly retreating, also ordered, he had already used up the crossbow arrows, and it was estimated that the other team members were similar, and they were no longer capable of fighting.

"Drive!"

The group quickly galloped in the direction of Dortmund Castle, where they were to return to resupply.

"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”

After returning to the camp, Chief Mikhail slammed the table hard, and his mood was now very irritable.

"Chief, the statistics of our casualties this time are out." A Flo soldier came to the tent and said respectfully.

"Say!" Chief Mikhail waved his hand and urged impatiently.

"We were attacked this time, and eight fighters died, and almost twenty wounded fighters, and one leader died." The wikiwarrior who reported said with a heavy face.

"Whew, it's okay, the damage is still within acceptable range." Chief Mikhail breathed a sigh of relief, although this was also a large loss, but it was not fatal.

"Those abominable Dillmans, they're like rats that like to get around and around the corner, slippery." Chief Mikhail bared his teeth and looked like he was going to eat people.

"Tell us to get out of here." Sheikh Mikhail knew that he was of little use to be here, but the risks outweighed the rewards.

"Yes!"
