Chapter 163 Doubt

"Duke Eddie."

Earl Yum pulled the reins and brought the horses to the Duke's carriage and walked side by side with them.

"Continue to move at this speed, and we should be able to arrive at the Bianjun Town this afternoon. I suggest that the army be stationed for one night and continue to act tomorrow morning."

"No." Duke Eddie shook his head and refused, "It's all because of the delays and delays. He wasted a lot of time on the road. After arriving in the border town, he sent someone to persuade the surrender. If he didn't agree, he would immediately let the army launch an attack."

"But the army has been gone for a day, and the people and horses should be exhausted. Is it not appropriate to launch an attack in this state?" Earl Yum said worriedly.

"What are you afraid of? The number of people here is absolutely superior. The army of two thousand people rushed over with momentum, but didn't it directly crush the few troops in the border town?"

Earl Corrett also pulled off the reins and drove the horse to come.

"And I can't stand sleeping in the wild anymore. There are so many mosquitoes, itchy and very noisy that makes me unable to sleep. I think I can take a shower tonight and then lie on the soft bed in the castle to bed."

"I can't stand it either. I can capture the lord castle of the Bianjun Town as soon as possible, and I can go back soon."

After scratching the bag bitten by mosquitoes on his neck, Duke Eddie agreed with Earl Corrett's statement.

Then, he recruited another personal guard and ordered: "Let the mercenaries behind speed up and you will be able to reach the border town this afternoon."

"yes!"

The personal guard then ran to the back of the team and urged the mercenaries to go faster.

The sun had moved to the west sky and continued to set west, and the shadows under the feet of soldiers of the fortress army in the east rose to the east gradually lengthened.

You can already see the vague outlines of some houses in Bianshu Town from afar, as well as the small black dots arranged neatly outside the town, and those should be the soldiers of Bianshu Town.

It seems that Marquis Eisen has learned of the news that the Dongsheng Fortress has sent troops, and Duke Eddie is not surprised by this.

Moreover, judging from the other party's attitude, it seems that he is preparing to fight with the army of Dongsheng Fortress.

Even this little force dares to show off? It's just a brave man. It's so stupid. Duke Eddie couldn't help laughing in his heart.

It is obvious that there are only about 400 people in the border town, and there are two thousand people in the Dongsheng Fortress! The difference is five times, there is no doubt that this battle will be won.

The mercenaries behind also took out their weapons with the same idea as Duke Eddie, licked their lips with their tongues and smiled, preparing to take the opportunity to loot the town and make a fortune from it.

"Duke."

The knight who was in charge of leading the way at the front rode over to report: "There is a group of people in front of him holding weapons, and they should be guards of Marquis Eisen. What should we do next?"

Duke Eddie immediately ordered: "Let the knights slow down. It's not the time to charge. Just advance slowly. I want to get closer and let the magicians hit two large magic bullets to boost morale."

"Hang on," Count Corrett added, "There is still a little bit of distance between the knights, be careful of the opponent's magician."

"Yes, let's get a little bit away." Duke Eddie repeated.

"clear!"

After receiving the order, the knight pulled the reins and asked the horse to turn around and rushed forward.

“Huh?”

After squinting his eyes and looking at the opposite side for a long time, Earl Pearl let out a light exclamation, then turned around and expressed his doubts to Duke Eddie.

"Duke Eddie, the formation opposite is so strange. They are closely lined up in a very long line next to each other. Such a thin line of defense is too unreasonable. Didn't the Knights break through as soon as they rushed over?"

To deal with the knight's charge, shield soldiers are usually arranged in the front row, and several rows of spearmen are arranged in the back, holding spears in front.

"The Border Town fights against the Immortal Monsters with the Templars all year round, and it is impossible not to know common sense of military formations." Earl Yum was also cautious, "I am worried that there is a fraud here, so it is better to act carefully."

"What are you going to worry about? There are only a few people on the other side, can you still turn the tables?"

Corrett disagreed with this and expressed his opinion.

"I think they set up such a formation mainly to guard against our magician group."

Indeed, if the formation is set up in this way, the magician group will not be able to cast large magic at dense crowds, and will not cause a large number of casualties to the enemy.

But that's all, there is no other benefit.

"Beware of the magicians? Then aren't they afraid of our knights?" Earl Pearl questioned.

Everyone said something justified, and Duke Eddie dragged his chin and fell into deep thought. What is the medicine sold in Marquis Eisen's gourd?

After a while, he sat up straight and made a decision.

"Since you don't know what Marquis Eisen is doing, let the mercenaries take the lead. The Knights are on standby for the time being. After the magicians release large magic, they will blow the horn and launch an attack."

Other nobles expressed no objection to this decision.

Anyway, mercenaries are adventurers who use money to do things, and they don’t feel sorry for their death. It is of course the best way to test the enemy’s intentions.

Of course, the routine procedure of persuading surrender before the war still needs to be implemented.

Duke Eddie called a knight and ordered: "Go up and tell Marquis Eisen that this is the order of the new king White Wells, and I am just obeying the work. Now put down your weapons and surrender, so that you can guarantee that you will not harm him."

Although he knew that Marquis Eisen would definitely not surrender, he still had to do what he should do.

Next, the army continued to advance slowly, and the knights in front quickly divided into two waves and moved to both sides, emptying the middle position.

Under the urging of the nobles, the mercenaries walked forward with their weapons and gathered in the open space in front of the formation.

Mobilizing troops is a slow process, no matter how urgent it is, it cannot be fast.

At present, the distance between the two armies is still very long, so Dongsheng Fortress is not worried that the other side will suddenly launch an attack.

Even if the enemy is really out, it will take a lot of time to run over so far, which is enough for the army to respond accordingly.

Moreover, the magician group is not a vegetarian. If the opponent dares to attack, wouldn’t he be afraid of being taken away by large magic?

That's why the nobles thought they were very safe. There were many people in the team chatting and laughing, and they didn't take the border town seriously at all.

"...That night, those three stinky bitches were so lewd."

Victor is boasting about his bed record not long ago to prove his firmness as a man.

"Haha, Your Excellency Victor Corrett is so energetic and ups and downs. I admire you, I admire you!"

The person who is flattering Victor Mah is Baron Wood, who has previously obtained a piece of land located in the suburbs for helping Duke Eddie.
