Chapter Seventy-One: Victory, Control
Seeing a flock of crows flying towards her, Sariel snatched a javelin from a nearby woman.
The pure wood javelin flew out and turned into a slanting arrow that pierced through the six crows.
The crows did not disperse, and the crows flew down towards Lawrence as if they were under control.
When Kehalan saw this, he also took a javelin and threw it.
As soon as a flock of crows flew over, some of them died.
As the crow approached, it stretched out its sharp claws directly towards Lawrence.
Lawrence realizes that the crows are targeting him, and quickly retreats under the protection of Sariel and Keharan.
The crows followed Lawrence, trying to peck at Lawrence's eyes and face.
Bang!
Keharan smashed his shield in the face of a flock of crows!
The weak crows were soon swatted on the ground like flies by Keharan and Saliel.
Lawrence stood behind the Colossus and asked Sophia, "How's it going?" ”
Sophia replied, "The crows are flying!" Didn't follow! The wild boar was blocked by the rejection wood! Being thrust by our people! ”
"A wizard who can control crows, but he doesn't seem to be very smart. ”
Lawrence took the iron sword and said, "It's not that we are not smart, but if we are not afraid, these crows and robbers will not be able to play a good game." ”
Sariel glanced out, "Fryce is getting closer to those people. ”
"Rush!" Lawrence gave the order decisively, shouting in the language of the barbarians: "Rush up together!" Kill those Southern Barbarians! ”
The morale on Lawrence's side was already higher than that side, and they were basically ready to die in battle.
A group of warriors who had been through several battles quickly pushed forward, picking up spears and longarms and moving separately.
Each team resembles a pile of three stones, separated from each other.
A team of 100 people soon formed a tendency to outflank.
At this time, Count Steele shouted, "Magician! Hurry up with your crows and drive them away! ”
The Raven Messenger quickly called the flock back and then rushed towards one of the soldiers.
Sophia quickly shouted, "The crow is back!" ”
Lawrence, who was standing near the Colossus, quickly showed his head to observe the situation ahead, and saw clearly the position of the surrounding army formation and Fryce and the others.
There was no need for Lawrence to command, and the slings standing on the arms of the Colossus had already dealt with all the barbarians within range.
The last remaining soldiers of the Lofen Kingdom were already preparing to escape.
Flying crows can chase a group of people who don't want to fight with them.
But in front of the soldiers who are ready to be aware of death, it looks ridiculous.
As soon as the flying crow touched the soldier's hair with its claws, it was struck by an axe and a sword.
It can be a lot of trouble to replace with small bees, but these crows are too big to be caught and thrown under their feet, and then trampled to death.
Fryce soon led the men to the side of Count Steel.
Count Steele also spotted these people, "Aru! Kill these lowly savages! ”
A man with a metal helmet and bronze iron armor rode out on a large boar, holding a metal axe one meter seven long in his hand.
Aru looked at Frys, rode on the big boar and said condescendingly, "You can surrender, I allow you to be my servant." ”
Fryce smiled and said, "I prefer your head." ”
Aru lifted a long axe of more than thirty catties and carried the axe on his shoulder, "I have changed my mind, I will cut off your head." ”
Just as the two barbarians were getting ready for each other, Lawrence's order came from afar.
"Fryce! Throw the axe at those people with your companions! Then retreat! ”
Fleiss was reluctant to obey this order, but after seeing the soldiers twenty meters away raise the sling, he quickly knew what was serious.
The slings are all in groups of three, one for throwing, one for shielding against javelin axes, and one for ropes to take turns.
Fryce had dealt with these slingling troops, and the people Lawrence had sent to make a fortune with them were the elite of the specialty.
Seeing this, Fryce did not dare to delay, and quickly threw the two axes in his hand at the troops in front.
Barbarians are adept at throwing weapons, especially the most handy axes, which require no training.
The sharp axe flew out with great force and fell near the crowd along a beautiful parabola.
Aru quickly knocked down several axes with his weapon, and Count Stehl was protected by the guards around him.
It's just that there are two fewer people nearby.
"Kill them!" At this time, Count Steele noticed that there was a clear difference in the number of enemies between us and us.
In particular, more and more villagers and soldiers approached, and although they had not encountered it before, it was like being surrounded by a swarm of rats!
"Don't be afraid! They don't have magic! That colossus won't move! It's all a lie! God is with us! ”
Count Steele ordered those around him not to be afraid.
The slingling troops quickly broke the physical game, and the screaming stones broke through the wind and hit the knights' armor and leather armor like cannonballs.
Human heads, boar heads, shoulders, arms, weapons......
When the first round of rockstorming was over, Count Steel's side was left with only the last of his guards, the mage and the berserker.
Aru jumped down from the boar that wanted to escape, raised his long axe with both hands, and rushed straight out.
"Hahaha!"
The sharp and heavy axe directly cut off the waist of the approaching soldier, and a large amount of blood spurted out of the ground.
Aru laughed wildly, retracted his axe, and slashed at a man who had been stupefied again.
The man's head was cut off directly by a giant axe.
Between two breaths, the man killed two soldiers!
The rest of the soldiers were on guard against the brave man.
When Sariel saw this, she wanted to go up and fight this man.
Lawrence grabbed Sariel's hand and stood up and shouted, "Charge!" Rush up! I'm here to watch, who, as cowardly as the body and soul, rush up! Prove your bravery! Avenge your dead brother! ”
When Aru heard this, he shouted, "Come! Whoever comes up will die! ”
The men's intimidation did not frighten the men, and soon someone rushed forward.
In this wide terrain, Aru had just killed two more people when he found that there were people from the other side standing all around.
"Count! Baron! Aru quickly called for the troops who were supposed to be defending behind him.
But when he looked over, he saw that the men had been shot to the ground.
A group of villagers, armed with hoes and spears, stabbed the high Earl down.
Aru couldn't see what was going on there, and the soldiers around him quickly slashed at his back with their swords.
Clang~
Aru quickly swept behind him with his long axe.
A soldier was cut at the waist, and soon the body hung on the axe and fell.
Seeing this, the rest quickly grabbed his weapon.
More than a dozen men grabbed his weapon together, and many more pressed towards him.
Aru raised his hands to raise his weapon, and his body was grabbed by a strong man and rushed to the ground.
More and more people pressed Aru's body, snatching his weapon away and smashing it down on the chain mail that wrapped around his body.
Aru's eyes were quickly pierced, his hair ripped off, his body immobilized to the ground, his hands and feet wrapped in ropes, or savagely dragged.
His helmet was quickly pulled off, as was his head.
When Lawrence stepped into this bloody battlefield, both the Count and the Wizard Wizard were dead, and all but a dozen escaped knights were captured alive.
There were also dead people on Lawrence's side, and apart from some dead pigs and dead people, the biggest catch was some clothes and armor.
The value of these armors is very high, enough to exchange for an ordinary manor.
Lawrence began interrogating the fleeing knights.
"Where are you from?"
The knight looked up at Lawrence and asked nervously, "I can be a slave here, as long as you don't kill me." ”
Lawrence said, "Look at your performance, tell me where you're from!" ”
"We are the men of Count Strathle of Tranta's Hoof."
Lawrence asked, "Why did you attack us?!" ”
The man replied, "The Earl thinks this is his domain, and has borrowed a team of knights from the Duke of Trandahoof City to regain his rule here. ”
The territory of Count Stead is between the towns of Trandahoof and Phumesius, and belongs to the Earls of the Border.
According to the rules of the barbarians, if Count Vakiri of the Ice Sea is unable to rule this area, then it will naturally fall under the control of Count Steel, who is close to the interior.
"What's the matter with those crows?"
"It's from the south, and he says he can help the Count take this place."
Lawrence asked, "How many people are in Steel's domain?" ”
The knight replied cautiously, "There are twenty knightly territories in total. ”
Lawrence was not ignorant of the outside world, and several nobles near Pigtrotter City were still aware.
Twenty knightly domains, plus slave serfs, is about more than 4,000 people.
More than 100,000 barbarians, formerly concentrated in Pig's Trotter City, now most of them followed Lorfen III to the Southern Kingdom.
Even if Lofen III died, these people had no intention of returning.
The barbarian kingdom is inherently barren and uninhabitable, and Lofen III is equivalent to the strong people elected by various tribes to lead everyone to a better place to survive.
It is said that it is a kingdom, but in fact, the concept of a kingdom is not strong, and it is more tribalism.
The weak pay tribute to the strong, and the strong lead the weak to go out and get rich together.
It is equivalent to the ancient northern nomads, and after the death of the nominal leader, everyone will fight for the inheritance and fall into civil strife.
At the same time, because there was no concept of a state, the big lords and the rest of the nobles paid attention to who got it, and they were also wary of each other, not wanting other people's armies to pass through their own territory.
Lawrence pondered what to do with this incident.
If they continue to fight, then their men will not be able to control the larger earldom at all.
At the same time, if you get too close to Pig's Trotter City, you will be in danger.
Now it is so difficult to get from the manor to the town, if the communication time in the territory is extended to a few days, it will be too late to mobilize troops to defend.
If there is a real fight, Pig's Trotter City and the Vakiri people will not go to the West to cause trouble.
If a fight starts, it will provoke a siege and the trade routes will be closed.
But now that the Count is killed, what will he do if he doesn't fight?
Lawrence thought about it for a moment, and finally decided, "I want to have soul communication with the Earl!" Ask him for his wishes! ”
Under the shocked and awe-inspiring gaze of the crowd, Lawrence placed the fat count's body in front of the Colossus, and then chanted a spell that no one understood.
No one knew what the hell he was reading except Lawrence.
Ten minutes later, Lawrence got up.
"You go back and tell the Count's family that the Count's soul has apologized to me and the gods, and I am willing to forgive him."
"The Earl's wish after his death is to keep the peace, not to bring disaster to his family, and to let the Earl's family come and welcome his body back, and if the heir of that land does not come to receive the blessing of God, I will not recognize his identity!"
