Chapter 87: The Comer Is Not Good
The Blood Rose Mercenary Regiment and the Rock Wolf Mercenary Regiment walked on the land of the Great Varonian Wasteland, the long trek did not let their guard down, the scouts who fought in the front were dressed in white cloaks to explore the way ahead, and the leader of the Rock Wolf Mercenary Regiment, Pisco, rode a tall horse, and his aggressive eyes looked at the horizon in the distance.
After clearing the border of the Wolf Cavalry Scout Squadron, there was no decent force left in the Varonian Wasteland to stop their advance. With just a few more hours to go, they would be able to enter the realm called the Bright Field.
Pisco, who still liked to go shirtless in the middle of winter, grinned fiercely, and he could even imagine the pitiful look of the orcs when they saw them.
"Do you really think that if you strip those wolf cavalry of their uniforms, the orc kingdom higher-ups will really believe your nonsense of 'mistaking it for just ordinary militia'?"
Among the two mercenary groups with a total of more than 6,000 people, the only one who can speak to Pisco in this tone is Elena, the leader of the Blood Rose Mercenary Group.
Elena is a rare female knight in the Spencer family in the human empire, because the eldest daughter of the Spencer family married in the desert country a few years ago, she served as the princess's personal guard, so it was logical to use her own men and horses to form the Blood Rose Mercenary Group to escort the princess who married far away.
Elena is very good-looking, and because of her perennial immersion in martial arts, she not only has the rank of golden knight, but also makes her body curves develop exceptionally perfectly.
The beautiful Misoli silver armor on her chest was specially customized, because the ordinary model couldn't fit the two snowy mountains at all, and the mercenaries of the Rock Wolf Mercenary Regiment liked to stick their eyes to this great beauty when they were fine.
For this female leader who relies on strength rather than beauty, the others are at most only lustful and have no guts, and can only get over the eyes, after all, the rank of the Golden Knight is not a joke. Moreover, this female leader is also the right-hand man of the desert fox Rommel, and if you offend her, you will not be able to eat and walk around.
"What will happen? What will it be? Prince Camus told us to let go of our hands and feet, and in the blink of an eye, my Rock Wolf Mercenary Regiment has hundreds of wolf cavalry heads in the account, and my merits are indispensable in the credit book. On the contrary, I see that your Blood Rose mercenary group is indecisive, could it be that your mercenary group is a vase?"
Pisco's eyes wandered unscrupulously over Elena's beautiful body, and it was obvious that he, who was also a golden knight, did not buy the account of this beautiful female leader.
"Merit, can a victory achieved by sneaking up on the back with an annihilation arrow be called a feat? Are you running out of integrity as a knight?" Elena's chest heaved angrily, and the scarf around Pisco's neck made of the tail of a wolf cavalry made her feel that it was the greatest humiliation for the word knight.
When they were about to attack the wolf cavalry squadron, Elena opposed this kind of unchivalrous sneak attack, even though a frontal attack would certainly cause some casualties. It's a pity that Pisco gave the order to attack the wolf cavalry before her, and this is why there was the massacre on the border.
Although Pisco also became a golden knight from the Human Empire first, and then went to the desert country, he quickly became as cruel and ruthless as the desert humans, and did whatever it took to achieve his goals, leaving behind the knightly principles that he had recited in the temple, which also made the Rock Wolf Mercenary Group famous in the desert country.
They were soon impressed by Prince Camur's gold coins to complete some shady deeds for him.
Elena, who has been exposed to orthodox chivalry since childhood, is very disgusted with Pisco.
"You'd better tell the prince these beautiful words when you get back. Pisco finally whispered in a voice that only he could hear, "If you make it back alive from the enraged orc army." ”
As the two mercenary groups continued to advance towards the southern part of the Varonian Great Wasteland, they could even faintly see the red cornices on the Bright Wild Lord's Hall.
"This lord of the Bright Wild has only taken office in the last few months, and the number of soldiers and horses under his command is worth a thousand, and his recent record is only to defeat two troll tribes, which is not worth mentioning. The heroic Elena looked at the information about the Lord of the Bright Field, and there was only a thin piece of paper, "The lord is only a viscount, and he is just in his early twenties when he looks at the portrait, and there is no aristocratic force behind him to support him." ”
"It's just a straw bale nobleman, and there are only a thousand militiamen under his command, I don't know what kind of frightened expressions they will have on their faces when I go down with a shuttle and an arrow..."
Just as Pisco was about to say something more, several scouts who had been scouting the way in front suddenly turned back, and it turned out that they had begun to find traces of orcs around them.
Pisco was not surprised by this, the Bright Wild was the last line of defense on the Valonian Wasteland, and now that they were only a dozen kilometers away from the Bright Field, it was only natural that some orc vanguard scouts appeared.
It's just that according to the reaction of the mercenary scouts, these sporadic orcs did not love to fight after discovering their traces, only showed their heads from a distance, and then turned around and ran, not giving them a chance to raise their crossbows and shoot at all, they were just slippery like loaches.
Pisco ordered the Rock Wolf Mercenary Group to begin to retract in the middle, and the scouts who had opened the way in front also converged to a distance of a few hundred meters from the majority. It stands to reason that orcs shouldn't be so cautious, and in his impression, when orcs see them fully armed human mercenaries, they will immediately draw their knives and start charging, which is too abnormal today.
The Blood Rose mercenary group led by Elena also began to act in groups.
Compared to the Rock Wolf Mercenary Regiment, which has Oblique Archers and Heavy Scythe Tower Shield Warriors, the Blood Rose Mercenaries are more like a traditional Knights, they are mostly composed of cavalry and war horses in Misoli armor, and they will take on the role of vanguard in a battle, breaking through the gap in the enemy line for the Heavy Scythe Tower Shield warriors of the Rock Wolf Mercenary Regiment.
Elena took out an eagle-eye sleeve and began to observe the situation in the distance.
This extravagant eagle-eye sleeve made of two delicately polished crystals is said to be the latest masterpiece of the Hex family of the Human Empire, allowing ordinary people to see in the distance without the help of magic, and the price is as high as several thousand gold coins, and it is exclusively for the upper nobility, ordinary people have no way to get such goods even if they have money.
In the Hawkeye socket, Elena saw a sporadic orc writhing butt running towards the rear, apparently preparing to go back and report to their lord.
The female regiment leader put away the eagle eye sleeve, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, seeing that these orcs did not look like professionally trained soldiers, and their combat quality was very low. You must know that the Scout is a professional class, and if there are some such goods in the Bright Field, then they can take this territory without much effort.
Elena gave her men a look, the cavalry captain understood, and led several cavalry to quietly cross the Rock Wolf Mercenary Group, they couldn't let these guys who could only shoot cold arrows steal their military merits, they needed a dignified battle.
However, on a snowy hill a few kilometers away, two specially painted sniper rifles poked out of a crack in the rocks and aimed at the mercenary group that was approaching this way.
