On the 10th, the light rain in the Harrence Heights finally stopped for half a month, and the mild autumn sun's rays broke through the clouds again and sprinkled all areas of the highlands.

The town of Windley, a quiet town, was forced into war.

The Guards set up a large camp centered on the town of Windry. In addition to the three corps of the Guards Headquarters, troops from all over the country were also stationed nearby.

So far, Crewe has led the nobles and knights of the manor to gather the strength of nearly a legion. The legion was reorganized into four legions by Sira Marne, and after being reported to Pedi, it was named the First Legion of the Crewe.

Seven o'clock in the morning,

Waves of cheers suddenly rang out from the sprawling barracks, cheering for the true commander of the legion... Baron Pedy Reagan.

In the wide corridor in the middle of the camp, Pedi and the knights who followed him were walking slowly... In response to the soldiers' cheers, Peddy turned his head sideways and whispered to Sheila Marne, who was at the front of the way, "You arranged this? You should know that I don't like this form of welcome." ”

"Soldiers need encouragement, my lord. Sirah Marne kept a straight face most of the time in front of the soldiers, and her voice carried a feeling of exhaustion, "The continuous rain has hit rock bottom for the morale of the troops, and we cannot afford to miss any opportunity to boost morale." ”

Peddy's words froze, and Baron Merrot Tyretus, the representative of the nobility beside him, answered with a smile: "Sir Cilla is right, the morale of the troops really needs to be encouraged... The prolonged confrontation tested the willpower of the soldiers on both sides. ”

The words of the two made Pedi unable to refute, and he didn't intend to refute it, he just didn't like the hilarious scenes.

...

The tent of the camp headquarters in the camp was brightly lit, and a huge map hanging on a wooden shelf to the left of the entrance was very conspicuous.

After entering the tent, Pedi habitually walked to the map, but he didn't pay much attention to the map, and stood next to the map and scanned everyone in the tent as the owner...

The commander of the Guards and the commander-in-chief of the Commander-in-Chief of the Command, Siarra Marne, met his gaze with her back straight and looked at him, Baron Merlot-Tyretes, dressed in an old-fashioned Crewe-collar leather armor, met his gaze and respectfully performed a court courtesy, Baron Prut, the chief of staff of the Command, bowed his head decisively to show the difference between the two, and the Chief of Military Intelligence, Danmen Green, kept his head bowed at all times.

"My request is simple, end this war as soon as possible. Pedi's voice was low, as if he were talking to himself, "It's not a consultation, it's an order." ”

"Assault?" Baron Merrot asked subconsciously.

Pedy didn't answer the question, he looked at Danmen Green, "Bane Lockton should have arrived at the front, right?"

"Yes, it was last night's news. Danmen Green nodded, "Duke Andy Barrett of the Twak Territory has promised to help us flank the territory northwest of Fort Herien, and if the war goes well, their army can even advance directly to Fort Herien." ”

"An exciting news. Chief of Staff Pruitt's eyes lit up in surprise, and then he asked Danmen Green, "How many troops did the Twak leader promise?"

"At least 20,000 people!"

Baron Pruitt was stunned and immediately walked to the map, grabbed a charcoal pen and said while quickly marking the northwest area of Fort Herien: "There are almost no garrisons in this territory of Fort Herien...", his finger drew a circle on the map, "Intelligence shows that Bane-Lockton has gathered all the reserves that can be collected in Herien's territory for this war, that is, in order to defend against the Twak soldiers who suddenly appeared in the territory, Bane can only divide his troops from the front line, otherwise he will have to recruit farmers." ”

"It's obviously impossible to recruit farmers. Merrot interjected.

Pruda nodded in agreement, then looked at Pedi and said, "Then we can only divide the troops from the front. ”

"When will Twak's troops be able to appear in the Fort Helion area?" said Sheila Marne stared at Danmen Green.

"Tomorrow morning!"

Sira Marne glanced at Pedi and looked at the map and said, "You should have told us the news in advance." ”

"Confirmed information two hours ago, sir. Danmen Green helplessly stalled his hands.

Sheila Marne immediately looked at Pedy, "You should tell us about your plans, my lord. ”

"You are the commander of the troops. Pedi shrugged, "I'm not going to take command, I'm just here to enjoy the victory." "I'm sure you've already heard the news of my father's return to Crewe, and I hope to bring the good news back to Kavalburg as soon as possible." ”

When Pedi mentioned Duke Nick, several people present looked grime.

"So... I suggest an immediate attack on the Herion Territory Camp. "Sheila Marne made the decision.

"Assault?" Merrot clearly didn't want to do it, "but..."

"Assault!" But Sira Marne wasn't going to listen to what he was going to say next.

"Oh, yes. Pedi patted his forehead as if he remembered something important, and said, "I almost forgot, I brought ten boxes of goblin bombs, well... The newly developed bomb has a certain waterproof function. He looked at Sirah-Marne, "But it takes a little training to ignite these bombs, and the knights who came with me have already mastered how to use them. ”

"Is this thing as useful as it is rumored?" said Baron Pruitt, skeptical.

"Just try it. Pedi shrugged, his tone casual but the look on his face told everyone that it was an order.

"Then try it. Over the past few months, Sheila Marne has occasionally followed Pedi to the lab to watch the effects of the experiments, and she is even more excited than Pedi about how the Goblin Bomb will perform on the battlefield.

...

"Buzz"

Ten o'clock in the morning,

The sound of long trumpets accompanied by a jumble of military orders came from the camp of the garrison in Windley Town.

The various camps began to assemble their troops in the orders of their respective commanders, and as a giant bear banner passed through the central corridor, the entire camp seemed to suddenly 'come to life'... However, I saw that the troops assembled at each camp gate were lined up in turn, following behind the battle flag, and striding towards the camp gate.

Half an hour later, more than 15,000 soldiers from the three corps walked out of the camp in a neat line.

Ten minutes later, the three corps lined up in three phalanxes and steadily advanced a few miles away to the camp of the Herian Commandery, a few miles away, amid the sound of a huge military trumpet.

Another half an hour passed, and when the three corps advanced to the middle of the camp on both sides, the horn sounded again in the camp of the garrison in Windley...

In a short time, more than 10,000 troops walked out of the camp one after another.

While the high platform order flag was waving back and forth, the rolling "boom" sound sounded on the left and right sides of the military formation that had just come out of the camp, and the yellow sand was flying all over the sky, and several thousand cavalry quickly advanced towards the two wings of the three corps in front.

For a time, the entire area around Windley Town was full of wolf smoke...

A bloody battle is on the verge of breaking out!

...

Located on the high ground west of Windley Town, the garrison camp of the Herion Leader had been sounding the alarm bell half an hour earlier, and nearly 8,000 elites had been gathered in just half an hour behind the refusal of horses outside the camp gate. In an instant, the empty turrets around them were filled with fully armed archers. On the high slopes farther away, three thousand cavalry waited quietly for the order to arrive.

In the rear, in the command tower where Bane Lockton was, the young lord held up his lookout glasses and looked at the approaching Cawar Fort army, glanced at the Warner knight beside him and said, "Didn't you tell me that Sira Marne would not attack in the short term?"

"This army doesn't carry even the most basic heavy weapons. Warner Knights were also watching the advancing army, "It makes no difference to attack our camp defenses like this, and it makes no difference to die," he said firmly, "Sira Marne wants to invite us to a decisive battle on the plains." ”

Bane Lockton nodded thoughtfully, "Do you think we should fight?"

Warner Knights put down his lookout glasses and said, "We've all talked about this a long time ago... The longer this war drags on, the better it will be for us, my lord. ”

The young lord said self-deprecatingly, "This is a war without honor. ”。

"That's right. Warner Knight shrugged, "But as long as we win, all the honor belongs to us!"

"Look again," Barn Lockton, who was always holding his lookout glass, said with a deep doubt, "they're still pushing in, and if they continue like this, they will be within range of our heavy crossbows in less than ten minutes... Are they here to die?"

Warner Knight was stunned, and unconsciously picked up the lookout glass and continued to observe.

However, I saw that the three corps advancing in front of Fort Kawar on the plain in the distance, after reaching the middle of the camp of the two armies, the middle corps suddenly accelerated, and the three parallel corps turned into a triangular formation, and accelerated their speed to advance towards the camp gate of Fort Helrynn!

On the flanks of the three corps, three thousand cavalry were always accompanied to the left and right to prevent the surprise attack of the cavalry on the high slopes of the flank of Fort Herain.

...

More than 10,000 troops advanced in Kawalburg, and Pedi was also staring at his own troops advancing in front of him with a lookout glass.

"My lord, it's still too late to withdraw, and we don't lack heavy weapons and towers. Baron Prut, the chief of staff on his horse behind Pedi, squeezed up and reminded in a slightly trembling voice.

The cacophony of the army as it moved didn't make Pedi want to talk much, so he looked at Sirah-Marne on the other side and asked, "What do you think about this?" ”

With her helmet hanging from her saddle and her whole body prostrate on her horse, she heard Pedy's words and said in a joking tone, "I bet Bane-Lockton and his generals are wondering what we want to do right now. ”

"Bane-Lockton may be wondering if we're looking for death. ”

"Haha!" The surrounding generals and knights couldn't help but laugh.

"It's not funny at all. Baron Pruitt's face was full of worry.

"It's safe to kill the enemy normally, but we will also lose a lot of money in that kind of victory..."Although Pei Di was as bottomless as most knight generals, he was confident on the surface, "Only by surprise can we win this battle with absolute superiority." ”

Baron Prut was not a pedantic general, he just didn't have faith in goblin bombs, because in last year's orc war, goblin bombs disappeared without a trace, which made him subconsciously think that such things could not be trusted.

"Bang" As Chief of Staff Prutt was about to continue his conversation, a red flare rose over the Herion Command camp and quickly exploded.

"It's a red flare, it's supposed to be the tentative nature of a heavy crossbow!"

...

On the front line, the line advanced by the two thousand knights had already crossed the safe line of fire from the heavy crossbows on the arrow towers in the Herion Commandment area.

The commanders on both sides of the column walked with their lookout glasses and looked at the opposite tower, and when the soldiers on the tower pulled the gears to wind the heavy crossbow, the commander in front of the formation immediately shouted: "Heavy crossbow!!

At the moment when the knights raised their shields in the front row of the array, the heavy crossbows on the towers of the Herion Camp area galloped away from the strings at the same time...

The arm-thick crossbow was blocked by a magic shield.

"Oh!" the advancing knights shouted excitedly as they looked at the crossbow arrows that had fallen to the ground in the room, to vent the endless battle intent and the indescribable fear in their hearts.

In the headquarters of the tower behind the Herion leader, a bad premonition filled Bane-Lockton's heart, "All the people at the front are knights!"

"That's the advantage of Kawalburg. Warner Knight smiled wryly, "We can't waste our limited heavy crossbows, send our mages and paladins, we need to have a defensive battle with those knights in the defense zone." ”

"Do as Warner Knight orders!" Bane-Lockton ordered the herald beside him.

Warner Knight went on to advise: "Let the cavalry move, and while it will have little effect, it will at least harass the advancing pace of those knights on the flanks." ”

Bane Lockton didn't immediately issue an order this time, he thought for a moment and said, "We only have about five thousand cavalry, and we should properly reserve our strength to prepare for the next battle." ”

The young lord did not blindly take the advice of others, and after thinking for a moment, he continued to order the herald: "Keep the crossbows on the turret and let them shoot freely, and the longbowmen and shortbows should retreat five hundred meters back and re-establish the defensive zone." ”

He's going to have a long fight.

Warner Cavaliers didn't like this conservative tactic, but he didn't say it right.

And they fell silent one after another,

In the wide barracks corridor below the attic of the headquarters, the battlefield scouts loudly announced the current affairs of the battlefield.

"The enemy army is five hundred meters away ..."

"The enemy is within range of the archers!"

"The paladins led the heavily armed soldiers to assemble in the defense zone..."

"The magicians have arrived at the designated place!"

Every shout from the scout made Bane-Lockton's heart nervous, and he wanted to put down his lookout and rest in the rear for a while until the battle was over, but the duty on his shoulders made him stay where he was.

"What's that?" said Bane-Lockton's holding up through his goband as the Kawarburg Knights, who were less than twenty meters away from approaching the front of the camp's defense, suddenly stopped advancing. Just as he was wondering, the knights suddenly threw out some gray tubes.

The wonder and nervousness in his heart made him cry out instinctively.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

He was answered by a wave of violent explosions.

The attic of the "Bang Bang" Command Headquarters shook slightly from the explosion ahead, and the falling dust on the roof and window edges kept Bane Lockton open, and he rubbed his eyes together and shouted, "What's going on, can anyone tell me what's going on?"

Ahead

The smoke at the gate of the camp of the Herian Leader slowly spread, and a pungent smell spread in the air, and the soldiers of the Herian Leader who had been gathered together to prepare for the knight's charge were only the sparse screams of Lala.

Yes, under the explosion just now, even the screams were pitiful...

The entire column of soldiers who had gathered together lost their lives in an instant!

The crumbling ground, the countless severed limbs and disgusting entrails prove that there was indeed a squad of soldiers here.

The loud noise not only frightened the soldiers led by Herion, but also the advancing knights were also stunned on the battlefield, and even the soldiers of the two corps advancing on both flanks were in a brief commotion. On the flanks, the cavalry team that was moving slowly back and forth and on guard subconsciously stopped.

rear

In the Kawalburg army, the generals who observed the battle ahead with their goblins were shocked by the power of the goblin bombs.

"Oh, all-knowing and all-powerful goddess, is this the Nine Hells?" After a brief silence, Baron Merrot sighed while breathing, he had just forgotten to breathe in shock.

"We are witnessing history!" Siala Marne reacted, her eyes lit up in surprise, "I bet the war situation on the entire continent will change after this war!"

The noblewoman's words made Peidi stunned, and her mind subconsciously recalled some of the battles that the broken memory called the 'World War', in which the casualties of soldiers in almost every major war were hundreds of thousands or even millions!

Sila Marne didn't know what was going on in Pedy's mind right now, and she shouted to the herald not far away, "Blow the horn and remind the soldiers ahead what to do now." ”
