Chapter Seventy-One: The Thieves (Four Thousand)

This is a prerequisite for signing a contract with a mount. If you have obtained the contract qualification of any stage, you can sign a contract with the mount of that stage, and on the contrary, even if you have a good relationship, you cannot become an official mount. In other words, you can only ride on it without getting the special skills and help of the mount that a knight class should have.

And the signing qualification for the stage with the lowest skill - the Demonized Creature Sharing Contract. It is the third level of the knight's professional skill, which means that only the fifth-level knight can learn and sign a demonized creature as a mount, and this skill can only contract some ordinary demonized creatures as a knight's mount.

Although these ordinary cavalry units are the king of kings in the cold weapon war, they are killed when they encounter the earl's musket team, and long-range weapons, especially muskets, are even more deadly to the cavalry, so the biggest threat becomes not worth mentioning.

And the count found more than that, he found that the more than 600 people on the opposite side did not have a single battle flag to symbolize status, not a single one.

This means that the unknown armed forces on the opposite side will definitely not be regular armed forces such as professional armies or aristocratic private armies, at best, they are higher-level professional teams.

You must know that the battle flag plays an extremely important role in the battle of cold weapons, which is the object of allegiance and spiritual sustenance of an army, represents the order and the main general, and is an important support for the morale of the army.

And the armed liliang in front of him is definitely not a regular army, but some professional teams without official status, because the professional team is different from the regular army when fighting. In the regular army, this kind of battle flag represents the order, morale and the main general is still there, generally in order to declare the identity, the regular army will put up the battle flag at the beginning of the war, until the end of the war or the flag is captured and destroyed, even if the flag will be put away in order to conceal the sneak attack, but after contact with the enemy army, in order to facilitate the command will definitely raise the flag.

But for the mercenaries who are sneaking up now, morale is never as important as gold coins, and the professional team itself is synonymous with chaos, and the command role of the banner naturally does not exist, and the mercenaries will sometimes continue to fight after the death of the leader, intending to take advantage of the chaos to get some loot.

Therefore, no mercenary organization will hold a useless flag and put it against others, although generally this kind of professional team has a badge that symbolizes the team. Of course, there are some exceptions, such as the Sanshen Mercenary Regiment, which is a mercenary organization that has been converted from the army, and will raise its flag during battle.

'It's good that it's not a regular army. His Excellency breathed a sigh of relief silently in his heart.

If it is a regular army, it is very likely that these five or six hundred people are only the vanguard, and there are many times the main force to follow behind, which is bad, which means that the other side has formed an overwhelming advantage in numbers and politics, and there is no need to fight at all.

If so many regular troops are mobilized, then there are nobles at least above the duke level who have a heavy fist, and it is even possible that the royal family or the government will clean up the earl's house, then it will really be a mortal situation.

You must know that although the general members of mercenaries and thieves are at least professionals with professional ranks, in terms of the quality of individual soldiers, they can even single-handedly take on several people in the regular army, after all, the gap between professionals and ordinary soldiers does exist.

But in battles of the scale above the brigade, the professional army has an unrivaled advantage - discipline.

After vocational training, you can reach about one to three levels of the physical strength of a warrior professional, of course, there is no professional skill to use, which is a huge disadvantage, you must know that some low-level skills can also be able to crush ordinary people.

And in a large-scale battle, this huge advantage of the professional is completely unplayable. Because no one usually has that much time to release class skills, the main reason is that it takes time to release class skills.

Although the preparation time of melee class skills is only a few tenths of a second at most, it is still fatal in the ever-changing battle, and when preparing skills, it is very likely that they will be killed by the loss and dark sword that they don't know where they came from.

After all, even a low-level professional wearing a heavily armored knight warrior can't block the blade attack of an adult male, and this Achilles' heel on the battlefield can not be avoided to a certain extent until at least the middle and high levels, and the stalker and hunter can't avoid this kind of cold arrow sneak attack as long as they don't enter the legend.

However, if it is only a force composed of five or six hundred professionals, it actually has an advantage over the army in such a skirmish. However, if the command is done properly, there is at least a fifty or sixty percent chance of victory, which is enough for a person like the Earl to make a decision to fight.

The Earl then turned around, put away the smile that only his sister saw, and said solemnly to the other five: "Everyone, I believe you have seen something, the worst case scenario did not appear, but even the mercenary in front of you is not easy to deal with, after all, the number disadvantage on our side is too great, everyone talk freely, let's talk about it." ”

The earl's words unconsciously regarded the few people around him as his subordinates, and several people had different expressions after hearing them.

The Viscount of Luxembourg had a gloomy face, his eyes full of anger, and he glared at the Count, and the Captain of the Knights of Fionardo, Vepa Sandia, also snorted coldly, staring at the Count with a murderous face. Fortunately, the earl is also experienced in a hundred battles and has not made a fool of himself.

The others were either his subordinates and relatives in the first place, or the city government was very deep, or they had a good personal relationship with him, and they didn't show it, but they didn't know what they thought in their hearts.

The earl regretted it after speaking, and after observing the enemy just now, he was a little overjoyed, and he spoke in his usual tone. The status of everyone here is not low, and this has basically offended most people, at least His Excellency the Viscount must have made a note of him in his heart.

Fortunately, the Harrison Cousey branch minister of the Russell Brotherhood saw that the count was also a slip of the tongue, so he opened his mouth to help him out of the siege for the sake of his usual good relationship: "Your Excellency, it's good that the worst didn't happen,"

It seems that His Excellency the branch minister is also a person who understands, and there are probably only two magicians who don't care about this kind of thing among the seven people here, the difference is that the lady doesn't know much about this kind of thing in the first place, and the other is Gala Tassare who has no interest in these things at all.

But someone still poured some cold water to cool down the crowd.

"It's good news that it's not a regular army, but with so many professionals, it's at least an organization above the A rank. With these people on our hands, it is not so easy to win. I wonder now how there could be so many professionals forming a force to attack us, and it is still this sensitive time. I'm worried about ......"

The old Viscount Fisher's voice voiced the confusion in his heart, and Zuihou's unspeakable apprehension, combined with his voice that sounded like he was about to die, made everyone's hearts feel uneasy.

The people here are all smart people, and they all know that Viscount Fisher's confusion is not unreasonable, and this matter is very strange.

The large professional teams in the Kingdom of Ustan are the only two A-class mercenary groups and thieves in the capital. They all have high-end tasks and work to do all over the country, and the manpower has always been in a tight state, and it is completely impossible to gather such a team of hundreds of professionals, by the way, most of the A-level professional teams are maintained at 1,000 to 2,000 people.

You must know that these tasks and tasks are important tasks entrusted or issued by the great nobles and government churches, and there is no way to shirk these two professional teams, even if they get rid of some and squeeze out some people, they can't hide that they, the big people who have a lot of connections in the kingdom of Ustan , generally get the news in advance, and it is obvious that they have not received any news in advance.

At the same time, we need to know that the church organizations that manage the thieves and mercenary groups, the Elfman Church and the Daker Church, have always cracked down on such large team organizations for random cross-border operations.

After all, reaching out indiscriminately is not popular in that organized organization, and without their help, the kingdom divisions of the two churches will probably kill them first, how can they be allowed to attack here.

Then there is only one remaining possibility......

"It won't be ......" Even Her Excellency the Baroness, who is not too sensitive to politics, reflected at this time, and that possibility is not impossible.

As soon as she finished speaking, she found that everyone's faces were very ugly, and they obviously thought of the same possibility, they were all elites in this regard, and His Excellency the Viscount of Luxembourg couldn't help but burst out a few foul words. Originally, with his perennial aristocratic etiquette, he should not have said really vulgar and rude words, but now the situation is a little out of control, he is young after all, and he can't help the anger in his heart, of course, no one will say anything about him at this time, everyone feels uncomfortable.

"Okay, now I think it's completely unnecessary, let's get through the current level first and then talk about the rest, everyone, let's take the troops into the position and prepare for the battle, we have the muskets and the fortifications that our family has built for many years, if it's just defense, I don't think it's a big problem, as long as we hold out until dawn, someone will come to support us." I hope you will contribute more for the sake of everyone in the same boat. ”

As he spoke, His Excellency looked around at the people around him, and saw that they all nodded in support of his action, so he smiled happily and turned around and walked down the lookout first, and everyone followed him down.

Kylelius eavesdropped on their conversation from a distance, and at this point he understood their guess.

"It's really interesting, even the church has taken action, and this scene is getting more and more interesting. Kylelius lowered his head, muttering to himself, a smile of excitement on his lips, and there was an indescribable strangeness in it.

Since the church does not allow it, it is impossible for mercenary groups from outside the country to come here. The only thing is that the Church acquiesced or approved the action.

I just don't know which church is the handiwork?

Or is it both?!

————————————————————————————————————————————

The suspicions of Kylelius and the Count were basically correct, and the attack on the Count was approved by the Church of Dakle. It was only a private act of the Diocese of Ulstan, which was not approved by the Headquarters, but such a small action against a Count had the right to make its own decisions, and the Headquarters would not reject the decision of the Diocese for such a trivial matter.

However, there were some small mistakes, this operation was not a single operation of a large group of thieves, but through the introduction and coordination of the church, several groups of thieves united, and after hiring some small groups of mercenaries from Banji, they formed a combined force of 600 people.

And Kyleus's old acquaintance, the "Forest Safari" thief group, is also one of them, but because of the light and the fact that they themselves are assigned to the back, even Kylelius did not notice their presence, and the Count and the others did not know that the knight also had a ninth-level dragon knight and his servant knight in the enemy's ranks.

At this time, the 'Forest Safari' thieves were resting in the rear of the Thieves' Alliance, and they had been hiding in a forest not far from the Earl's Manor for a whole day for this mission, and they were in a state of high tension, which was very mentally and physically exertioning on them.

Their original Jihua was holding a banquet at the Earl's Manor, and when they were busy entertaining many guests, they launched a sneak attack unexpectedly, so that even if their men were a little tired, in the case of a sneak attack, with their excellent individual strength and numerical advantage, it was basically a winning situation.

However, sometimes things don't go the way people expect, and on the way to the manor, I don't know who was discovered by the vigilant scouts of the Earl's Court.

But the number of people who met the scouts was three or four times that of others, and they were all professionals, but they were actually escaped back by others. You must know that there were a total of ten people on the opposite side at that time, and almost half of them fled back, what kind of combat effectiveness or fighting attitude is this?

Carson, the leader of the 'Forest Safari' bandits, was so angry when he heard the news that he almost wanted to kill the leading guy, but he couldn't do anything if he wasn't one of Carson's men. You must know that this is just a joint force, and the subordinates of other people's teams are not in charge of him.

And even if he does it, it is impossible to kill the other party in a short time, and then he may have to face the responsibility and punishment of the church, and the gains outweigh the losses, so Carson can only barely restrain the anger in his heart and turn a blind eye.

At the same time, this incident also made Carson have some unpleasant premonitions, but then he thought that his side had an absolute advantage in every aspect, so he had the heart to let go.
