Aslan nodded. Next to him, Arthur and Gawain looked excited. They thought the Armored Bandits wouldn't come?
"Why are there only 800 people!"
But Aslan reacted quickly, frowned slightly and said.
I remember that when he destroyed the Kaimen bandits in his previous life, he annihilated more than 1,300 bandits and captured more than 1,200 prisoners.
Kaimen was also greatly surprised when he looked at the greatly changed Merlot town in front of him.
"This young master from Kyoto is really quite capable." Kaimen praised him, waved his hand, and the team behind him immediately divided into two hundred-man teams and began a tentative attack.
Gut raised his hand and clenched his fist, and all the soldiers immediately raised their weapons and got ready to go.
"He launched an attack without even saying a word. He is really cruel and doesn't talk much!" Aslan had just arrived when he heard the footsteps of the Kaimen bandit group attacking.
These bandits fiddled with the weapons in their hands at will, with expressions of fanaticism and disdain on their faces. They did not charge as soon as they came up, but walked towards the town of Mero step by step.
These arrogant and domineering bandits made all the soldiers in Mero Town very angry. They were provoking and looking down on their soldiers in Mero Town.
"No, we are not soldiers, we are warriors."
Suddenly a veteran said angrily.
The robbers were stunned for a moment, but they did not stop for a moment and continued to move forward unhurriedly.
"Fight for home, fight for family, fight for Merlot!" Gut shouted immediately.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Shouting in unison, the nervousness of many people was dispersed, and Aslan also drew his sword and stood in front of the team.
Seeing that the lord was also taking the lead, the morale of the soldiers was even higher.
"Fifty steps away." Arthur suddenly shouted loudly.
The advancing robber suddenly felt an uneasy premonition.
"Forty steps!"
The Knight Guards standing at the front suddenly spread to both sides.
Phew…
More than fifty crossbowmen at the rear stood prone and crouched, shooting arrows alternately in three echelons.
The sound of crossbow arrows piercing the air echoed across the battlefield.
The advancing robbers didn't even scream as they were carried away by the powerful kinetic energy of the crossbow arrows, and several of them shot directly through two people.
The strong crossbow used by the Merlot Army was modified by Aslan based on the ancient rhubarb crossbow. This long-range weapon is as powerful as a musket.
In Chinese history, it was very difficult to draw a bow, but for soldiers from other worlds who practiced fighting spirit, it was relatively easy.
Training a crossbowman is much simpler than that of an archer. After all, a qualified archer will not be able to unleash the power of a bow and arrow after just one or two years of training.
This wave of arrows rained down, extinguishing most of the arrogance of the bandits. Some of the timid bandits turned around and ran away, and were then killed by the small leader behind them with a sword.
"Those who retreat will be killed without mercy."
Jiamen, who had been standing at the back and was sure of victory, looked frighteningly gloomy after seeing the powerful crossbow.
"You guys should take action too! After conquering Mero Town, massacre the city." Kaimen's cold voice sounded.
"Yes! Boss."
Two ferocious men with big swords came out. They were the apparent masters of the Kaimen Bandit Group, and they were both high-level swordsmen.
Seeing the two people appearing, Aslan's lips slightly raised.
"Arthur! Goode! Your opponent is here."
Arthur smiled calmly and continued to command the crossbowmen to massacre the ordinary robbers. These robbers in the lead were mostly ordinary people. At most, they were just a few swordsman apprentices. They didn't even have shields. Facing the crossbowmen, they could only be slaughtered.
.
As for the bandits who have become professionals, they are the main force of the bandit group. There are about a hundred people. Under the leadership of two big men, half of them join the battlefield.
After Goode led the whole village to join Merlot Town, his forty-year-old wife unexpectedly became pregnant again. Aslan also took this very seriously and went to check it out every once in a while.
Goode also opened up his heart and successfully broke through the ranks of senior swordsmen, becoming the fourth senior professional in Merlo Town.
The shouts of killing rose to the sky, and the robbers were intimidated by the butcher's knife of the small boss behind them, so they could only rush forward, but they had become much smarter.
Three or two people pulled up the corpse on the ground to serve as a shield. As the distance got closer, the power of the crossbow became more terrifying.
The people and corpses were taken away together, but the firing speed of the crossbow was not as fast as the bow and arrow. After suffering hundreds of casualties, the bandit army had already rushed in front of the Mero army.
The crossbowmen quickly retreated and ran towards the surrounding rooftops. This was one of their daily trainings. Facing an enemy without long-range troops, the only thing they had to do was to shoot arrows and find a safe place to shoot.
Phew…
The crossbow arrows continued to shoot out, and the bandits fell one after another outside the town of Mero. One of them, a big man with a hideous scar on his face, jumped up suddenly and stepped on the shoulder of a bandit. There was a click sound, and the big man with the scar jumped up high.
, and kill towards the roof.
"Get down here!" Arthur's voice sounded, and he slashed down with his sword in both hands.
The two swords connected, burst out with dazzling light, and then flew back to their respective teams.
"Senior Knight!" Kaimen's face changed slightly when he saw the knight armor on Arthur.
The senior swordsman who led the bandit attack on the other side was also blocked.
"two!"
This sound made Najie, who was still injured, feel frightened.
This was something he didn't report, or to be precise, it was something he didn't know about either.
Najie was very worried that Kaimen would punish him afterwards because of excessive losses.
When did Merlo Town gain two senior professionals?
Arthur was an intermediate knight when he first came to Merlo Town. His father told him that as for Goode, he was an old neighbor, so he naturally knew it very well.
"It should be a breakthrough. In the past, both of them were only mid-level professionals, especially Gude. You also know this person, leader. It should be because of the ancient ruins. There must be some secrets in the ruins that can help professionals break through."
Najie rolled his eyes and shouted decisively.
He knew very well that Kaimen was now focused on breaking through to the realm of swordsman, and as long as there was any chance, he would never give up.
Sure enough, after hearing Najie's words, Kaimen's eyes suddenly brightened, and he turned his gaze back to the battlefield. He quickly noticed Aslan who was directing the battle in front, and chopped down his men from time to time.
"Who is that person?"
It's no wonder that Kai Men noticed Aslan. In fact, the armor on Aslan's body was so conspicuous that it could be described as a coquettish one.
Najib took a closer look and shouted with joy: "He is Aslan, the lord of Mero Town."
As soon as Kaimen heard this, he immediately put aside his thoughts of teaching Najie a lesson and slowly disappeared into the crowd. As the team moved towards Aslan, he prepared to sneak attack on Aslan, the lord. By then, Mero Town would be leaderless and collapse without a fight.
