Chapter 72: Legion

Cardinal City

The Punk Earl, along with several robed nobles, quickly ascended to a mud house on the edge and confronted the barbarian legions outside the wooden fence under the protection of a group of knights at his side.

Count Sava of Cardinal City looked at the barbarians who were building sheds and sweeping the roads on the plains, and his face was full of unease.

"How many of them came?" Count Sava asked, looking ahead.

The man behind him whispered, "Master, our sentries have been looking carefully for a long time, and there are five thousand of them. ”

The Count of Sava quickly recovered from his distraction and hurriedly asked, "How many of us are there?" ”

The steward replied, "We have sixty thousand men, and there are about a thousand soldiers and knights, and there should be more than sixty with the sorcerers." ”

For a city with a population of only 50,000, there are already a lot of soldiers of a few hundred people, and there are not many soldiers here, let alone those barbarian bandits.

Count Sava nodded, looking at the barbarians outside who were cooking on the fire, his eyes full of hatred.

"These ugly robbers, they eat my wheat and livestock!"

Count Punk looked at the barbarians in the distance, who were marching extremely fast along the way, using food and livestock from the occupied areas as military rations.

What is even more terrifying is that these barbarians only attack the estates and cities with food and nobility, and turn a blind eye to ordinary villages.

As long as it's out of the way, don't bother with it.

But as long as it's in the way, regardless of age or gender, damn it, these barbarians don't know what mercy is.

When you have eaten enough and rested enough, continue to set off.

The Count of Punk had been on the run for ten days, and knew the speed of the barbarian legions.

"Count Sava, I want to leave here immediately to ask for reinforcements from the royal family, this is the king's last barrier, I believe the king will definitely send troops over!"

Count Sava thought for a second before he understood the fish family's thoughts, "No, dear Count Punk, I've already sent someone to ask for reinforcements, and now we need your help here!" ”

"We have valiant knights here, powerful wizards, trust in our own strength, and those barbarians do not know that they provoke terror that should not be provoked!"

"We should let them know!"

The Punk Earl doesn't want to defend the city with the people of Cardinals, and wants to get out of here quickly, "I ......"

Count Sava said directly: "Dear Punk, trust my judgment, if you can only pass the message, even if you go to the bear family, you will not be taken seriously, and if you bravely face those barbarians with me, as long as you win a victory, then not only those stupid bears, but even those barbarians will respect you." ”

Count Punk was moved by what he said, and for a moment felt that what Count Sava had said made sense.

But soon Cyberpunk came to his senses, "I need to go back and talk to the old guys about this." ”

Count Sava calmly said: "Well, I would like to hear good news, now that we have little way to retreat, those barbarians may not accept our surrender, and they must be made aware of our value." ”

Punk nodded earnestly, and in his heart he secretly cursed the treacherous bad bird.

Price? Who will pay for this? Who proves the worth of the living?

A morning had passed, and before Punk could reach an agreement with a few of the elders, the barbarian army outside had already begun to attack the city.

Most of the cities did not have walls, and even wooden fences were few, so these obstacles naturally could not stop the army from attacking.

Cardinal City and some of the larger cities have long known that war is going to take place, so in recent years they have only built a protective fence with a large amount of wood to form a wall.

However, in terms of mobilization, it cannot be compared with the town of Bhumixiu, and the cities built in the inland river areas do not have a large number of convenient stones to use, and at the same time, transporting wood and building are more time-consuming and laborious.

If the wizards were willing to help, the wall could have been built taller, bigger and stronger.

Beoff and a few barbarian generals stood on the hillside looking at the city in the distance.

After eating and resting for a while, the vanguard corps had already judged the road and terrain, and the generals had developed siege tactics for this area.

Five teams of barbarians stepped out from behind the crowd, each carrying a rectangular plank one meter wide, five centimeters thick, and more than ten meters long.

The grenadiers and guards began to stand and wait for orders to attack.

Several young men looked at the men, "They didn't run away. ”

Beoff said: "They are guarding their territory, and these nobles only show their true skills when they protect their territory. ”

Beoff quickly picked up the horn and blew the horn of the conch, which represented the attack.

This time, Lawrence sent a few slightly older young men from the Military Academy, not only as learners, but also as participants in the battle.

The real workhorse is not these young people, but the real warriors.

A heavy howl rang out from behind him, and ten gray beasts slowly ran out of the crowd.

Gray fur, silver armor, red cloak, sharp fangs, narrow dark eyes, and a huge body that is nearly one meter seven or eight tall, and the black-armored knight riding above!

These are the trump cards of the Barbarian Legion, the Wild Boar Legion!

The real increase in the strength of the Kingdom of Stars was not after the conquest of the Kingdom of Gran, and the conquest of the Kingdom of Gran made the strength of the Kingdom of Stars decline a little, and it took many years to gradually turn into an advantage.

The real explosion of strength was after defeating the main force of Pigtrotter City, and when it really replaced the dominance of Pigtrotter City, Lawrence had the place and personnel to re-form the Boar Army.

The tribes and villages of the Frozen Lands have been reunited, and loyalty and bravery have once again come into play.

Beoff rested for a few seconds and blew the horn again.

The wild boars quickly rushed out with heavy steps.

These mountain boars are covered in specially crafted armor, and their own powerful charging ability and resistance to attack, coupled with the knight with a battle axe on their body, are completely crushing level of destructive power.

The Dom sheep cavalry troops, who were supposed to go out of the city to meet the battle, suddenly did not dare to go out after seeing the big wild boar outside.

"Rush!"

The death squad carrying the plank quickly ran to the front with the plank on it.

There is also a three-meter-wide river outside the wooden walls of Cardinals, which relies on the river to block the attack of the troops outside.

The soldiers of the Land of Stars quickly laid a wooden plank more than ten meters long on the ground.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

Someone jumped directly into the river and pushed several planks together.

The defenders on their heads quickly fired arrows, killing several soldiers who approached directly.

At the same time, the slanted javelins flew out of the array of the Star Country, shooting obliquely into the wooden walls.

The Boar Legion did not meet a worthy opponent.

"Rush! Rush! ”

"Rush!"

"Keep rushing!"

"For the Prophet!"

Several knights scolded the running boar at the same time, and kept slapping the big boar under them with their hands and feet.

The big boar did not stop, and quickly stepped on the plank laid in front of him and rushed over.

Bite!

Arrows hit the Boar Knight's helmet and iron armor with a dense crashing sound.

The Boar Rider is armed with sturdy iron armor all over his body, and his only weakness is a pea-sized observation hole.

The boars under them are also equipped with iron armor and leather armor to protect their heads, their skin is already tough, and they are covered with even tougher bearskin armor on their heads and sides, even a crossbow cannot hurt them.

The sturdy wooden walls were quickly hit by the heads of two large wild boars.

As soon as the wooden wall made a shaking sound, three large wild boars soon crashed into the nearby wood.

The five-meter-high, two-story wooden walls of a house quickly fell sloped.

The furious Boar Knight quickly rushed towards the soldiers in the city.

The sharp, heavy tomahawks were just an addition, and it was these maddened beasts that really destroyed the willpower of the defenders.

As long as the Boar Legion does not encounter Lawrence's running opponents, they can exert extremely terrifying power.

In hilly and plain areas, these rushing boar legions are a huge psychological pressure on the defenders.

Especially after being armed by Lawrence, from knights to wild boars, they are equipped with strong armor blades, and they are all fed, the power is even more terrifying.

After the boar knight opened the gap, the army in the rear quickly poured in.

"Rush! It's time for glory! ”

The soldiers shouted excitedly, constantly encouraging themselves and those around them.

"For the sake of the Prophet! For glory! ”

The charge of two or three thousand people quickly made a group of wizards and nobles timid, and except for the knights and nobles who guarded the territory, the rest of the fugitives quickly fled again.

There are also wizards who can control the fire and wind to attack angrily, but they are quickly killed by the siege.

A single wizard can do one for five or ten at most in front of the barbarian legions.

Wizards rarely play against the wind, let alone stand up to stop the tide of beasts.

After the army stormed the city of cardinals, Beauf outside the city quickly mounted a Dom sheep.

The boys and warriors behind them also rode excitedly on their respective dom sheep, carrying only bows and arrows and long knives, and wearing deerskin light armor, with only the leader Beauf and a few men wearing bearskin armor.

Infantry, heavy cavalry, light cavalry, spearmen, grenadiers, sword and shield soldiers, and transporters, the Land of Stars has gradually subdivided into multiple arms in many battles.

"For the sake of the Prophet! Charge! ”

A team of 200 elite light cavalry quickly marched around the river to hunt down the fleeing nobles!

Just like hunting, these cavalry will bleed their prey, causing more wounds and bringing them closer to death before they can fight back completely.

Battles took place not only in Cardinal City, but also in several land city-states.

The ports and coastal areas of the Kingdom of Io have long been opened by artillery fire, and the inland territories are mainly blocked by mountains and large amounts of undeveloped forests, and the roads, rivers and precipitous terrain have always been the biggest obstacles that plague the barbarian forces.

After defeating the defenders of Cardinal, the legions of the Kingdom of Stars entered a wide plain.

The climate here is comfortable, the land is flat, and even if there are some hills, it is very gentle.

Beoff walked with the legion on this fertile land, and could not help but shout: "This is about to become the land of the prophet!" ”

"We will dedicate this fertile land to the Prophet!!" (End of chapter)
