Klaus' team was stationed on a plain about a hundred miles away from the village of Kali, guarding a road from the 'Qingfeng Plain' to the capital of Xili Province. In peacetime, the road was the main thoroughfare for transportation and commerce in the mainland, and the party was stationed there.
, which can facilitate tax collection and garrison. However, during the war, the opponent's army will not march on the road obediently, so such garrison troops are actually useless, and it even makes it easier for the opponent's army to judge the location of the garrison and encircle and suppress it.
This was originally an obvious problem, but Duke Green still ordered the private troops stationed in the local area to remain fixed in his military camp to train the newly recruited recruits. When he thought about it, he had already sent more than 20,000 people anyway.
The "Green Field Corps" has gone to reinforce the front line. The more than 10,000 people standing army in his territory should be able to sustain him for two months, allowing him to train the new recruits a little.
Duke Greene thought very well. Now the south of his province is already densely populated with 500,000 new recruits and more than 20,000 less elite private troops used to train them. If the Smart Empire attacks directly from the border,
, you can use the human sea tactic to drown them.
Just as his financial controller shouted: "Your Excellency, each fallen soldier only needs a pension of five gold coins. We can continue to recruit people and exhaust the magicians of the Smart Empire."
Duke Greene asked with deep confusion: "Well, let's not talk about this for now. The problem is that the big lords near me are unwilling to send troops to assist me. This is their duty. They don't need to waste themselves on me.
The strength of the private army. But why hasn’t the empire’s army arrived yet? Huh? Does His Majesty Shagru really want to do that?”
No one could answer his question, so amidst all these doubts and uneasiness, the training of recruits in Xili Province began.
Klaus's military camp was originally only large enough to station a team of 1,000 people. Later, in order to expand his strength, Duke Greene reported that a team actually had 1,500 troops, so it was already a bit crowded. This time he
He was also sent to recruit soldiers. There were nearly 30,000 new soldiers recruited from all over the country. How could the small garrison accommodate it for a while? Fortunately, Duke Green was willing to protect his territory and power at any cost.
It had been distributed, and with the wooden houses built by the soldiers who arrived first, a dense new garrison appeared next to Klaus's small castle, and the 30,000 recruits could barely live in it.
Klaus stood on the small tower and laughed: "Now, I am more majestic than the commander of the Green Field Corps. I have more than 30,000 people under my command. Haha, the actual number of troops is more than him.
However, I can't guarantee this combat effectiveness. If these soldiers are all black iron knights, even if they only have one wolf fang, more than 30,000 people are enough to sweep through any regiment of the Smart Empire, right?" Klaus also said
Have a sweet dream.
However, his sweet dream was immediately interrupted by Lei. Lei ran up to the city with a little hesitation. After being inspected by several of Klaus's soldiers, he cautiously approached Klaus and asked: "Sir, this
Should we start training?"
Klaus waved his hand: "Of course, it's not just training, but training hard. Look, this is equivalent to the size of a legion. You have to work hard and train seriously. I will make those real
Soldiers, train yours well. Hahahaha..." Klaus's eyes were full of enthusiasm. If he could lead this army to achieve certain results, he should be promoted to an official rank anyway, right?
Lei nodded quickly, hesitated for a while, and asked in a low voice: "But sir, what kind of training should we use?"
Klaus was stunned for a moment: "What? What training is used for what?"
Lei's face was full of smiles: "Well, we have no weapons and no armor, how can we train? Some of my friends are classified as spearmen. They can train with wooden sticks, but I am classified as
The light infantry ranks don't have any swords. There are some new recruits who want me to tell you that they can only shoot arrows, but are not good at using swords and guns. You see... there is no way to train them."
Klaus's face immediately turned gloomy, and he murmured in a low voice: "Damn it, don't you have any weapons? How could I forget this? Oh my god, how is it possible to replenish 30,000 weapons at once? And what's more?
Armor, yes, and food. Food is not a problem. The nearby cities can provide so much food, but combat weapons... Well, young man, are you called Lei?"
Lei nodded repeatedly, and a smile appeared on Klaus's face: "Well, tell your companions that there will be weapons, armor, and everything you need. Don't worry.
, Haha, the Duke will definitely mobilize weapons and other things as soon as possible. Well, you go to train first and train yourselves well, so that you can be worthy of the weapons in your hands."
Lei was stunned by Klaus's words. Yes, don't soldiers have to be worthy of the weapons in their hands? An untrained soldier, even if he is holding a peerless sword in his hand, cannot defeat the enemy, right?
So, Lei stood at attention, saluted a military salute that he had just learned, but was not yet very standard, and then walked down the tower.
Just as he turned around, a fat, almost spherical, white and plump middle-aged man climbed up the stairs on the city wall with a smile on his face. Lei saw that he had filled the entire passage.
, he obviously couldn't go down, so he had to stop where he was. At the same time, in order to give him enough space to stand, Lei had to take a few steps back.
Klaus's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly greeted us with a warm greeting: "Mr. Deputy Manager Wenleys, may I ask, are you here to deliver supplies to us?"
Wenless stretched out his hand, grabbed Klaus's wrist, panted and struggled out of the steps, sighed and said: "Aha, dear Captain Klaus, you have to take care of yourself tonight.
If you want to treat me to a meal, this journey is too difficult, but His Excellency the Duke requires us to personally deliver these things to your Lordships, so I can only make this hard trip."
Klaus quickly lost his smile: "Of course, this road has not been repaired for a long time, you must be exhausted, right? Ha, the cider in the nearby village is very good, do you want to try it? Although it is better than
It's not as good as the wine stored in the Duke's Palace, but it has a different flavor... What did you bring me?" Klaus's eyes were full of expectation.
Wenless raised his fingers: "Well, three thousand swords each, two thousand spears, five thousand sets of light leather armor, three thousand sets of medium leather armor, one thousand five hundred bows, and thirty thousand arrows. Phew.
,That's all."
Klaus was stunned: "Mr. Deputy General Manager, are you right? I have recruited nearly 30,000 new soldiers."
Wenless rolled his eyes and sighed: "There is no way, I am really too nervous, and the equipment is too tight. The entire territory has recruited more than 500,000 recruits, and it would be good to be able to guarantee equipment for 150,000 people. This is still
The Duke bought it from several other territories at a high price. Those damn Dukes are sucking our blood. I know they are jealous of the wealth of our Xili Province, but they really go too far.
An ordinary steel knife costs seventy silver coins, which is more than twice the normal price...Team leader, dear Team Captain Claus, you must understand our difficulties."
Before Klaus could speak, Wenless had already begun to complain: "In recent years, in order to make friends with the ministers of the imperial capital, our Duke has spent a lot of gold coins, recruiting half a million new soldiers, and spent one million
Gold coins, and then marching tents, another 1.7 million gold coins were used. In addition, the "Green Field Corps" needed to replenish the belemnites, armor, and weapons used on the front line, and they also had to pay three months' military pay in advance. At the same time, each soldier
I took an extra twenty gold coins to improve my morale, these are all money."
Klaus stared blankly at the sweaty Wenleth, speechless. Wenleth also seemed to feel that the equipment he sent was too embarrassing. When the territory was in trouble,
We should try to win over the remaining team leaders. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Well, actually, the Duke has tried his best. Several nearby provinces do not have such a large amount of weapons stocks. We have to wait for the emperor's death."
Only when we arrive can we have a large amount of equipment support... We have to let the new recruits adapt to this situation."
Wenless lowered his voice and whispered: "Actually, if those recruits hold sharpened sticks, they can kill the enemy. If we exchange three recruits for the life of one enemy soldier, we still have something to gain."
It’s profitable, isn’t it? How many troops can the Smart Empire send to invade us? Think about it? If we can use these new soldiers to destroy the invading army, wouldn’t we all get a lot of credit?”
Klaus thought about it for a while, glanced at the stunned Lei, and suddenly laughed: "Then, these will be given priority to the recruits in Kali Village. There are not many of them, and the others will also be given priority to the ones I recruited.
Those recruits from the mountainous areas, their quality is much better than that of the citizens in the city. Good weapons should naturally be given to them, what do you think? Lei?"
Lei nodded, and just as he was about to speak, Klaus pushed his shoulders and sent him off the city wall, and whispered an order in his ear: "You didn't hear anything just now, understand? This is military information.
You have to know the secret military information. If the enemy knows about our lack of equipment, we will be in danger, do you understand?"
Lei felt a sense of honor for being trusted, and he couldn't help but puff up his chest and replied: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely not tell anyone...but can you give me a bow and arrow? I
I am good at archery."
Klaus replied casually: "Of course it's no problem, Lev, Lev, where did you bastard go? Take Lei to get the weapons and let him choose the best weapons to equip the young men in Kali Village. Right
Okay, when you assign the queues, the young men in Kali Village can serve as squad leaders, do you understand? You first send people to the squads. Okay, I will see that the new recruits have exercised this afternoon. Let them
Give me training when you're full, and don't be lazy, lazy people... You can do whatever you want, this is a time of war, military law is engaged."
Lev, the leader of Klaus's personal soldiers, nodded after hearing this and took Lei away. Looking at Lei's retreating back, Klaus shrugged helplessly: "Oh, he is such an easy boy to deceive, but I don't have any
What a way, I also want to have enough weapons... Just kidding, using sharpened wooden sticks and weapons made of steel to fight, it would be nice to exchange five people for one. Alas!"
When Lei happily returned to the tent where his villagers were stationed with a bunch of carefully selected weapons, he happened to see a group of recruits from other villages surrounding Bit and the others, and there was a dispute. Only one person could be heard.
The rough voice roared with dissatisfaction: "Why can the people from Kali Village be the team leader? Aren't we good? Are we weaker than them? Look, many of them are children whose hair has not yet grown.
.”
The crowd burst into laughter, but the soldier sent by Lord Lev to deliver the order was holding his sword, which weighed less than five kilograms, and stood by with a smile watching the fun, not caring about the so-called maintenance of order.
Lei quickly asked a few soldiers who were helping him to carry weapons to stop. He squeezed into the crowd and asked loudly: "Bit, Bit, what's wrong?"
While Lei was still squeezing in the crowd, a strong force suddenly came from behind him, which seemed to be the result of someone kicking him hard on the butt. The crowd in front suddenly gave way, and as a result
Lei flew out like a cloud and mist, and fell heavily and awkwardly to the ground. After rolling a few times, he lay down right in front of Bit and the others who clenched their fists.
Bit and his group of young people who got along well with Lei were furious and shouted loudly: "What does it mean to kick someone in the back?"
Immediately, a tall man came out, waving his fist and shouting: "Well, boys from Kali Village, how about we come and play head-on? Let's also learn the style of those knights, hahaha, let's have a fair duel.
Oh, oh, the little knight of Kali Village, haha..." The recruits around him laughed again, and ruthlessly laughed at Lei, who was lying on the ground and rarely got up for a long time.
Before Bit could make a move, Ole, a short and sturdy young man, had already rushed out and struck out in the fifth form of the 'Punch Punch' in a decent manner. While his right hand struck the big man's shoulder, his left elbow had already hit the big man.
At the same time, he used the force of his right foot to kick his knee hard. As a result, the big man could only lie on the ground in front of him in embarrassment, while Ole mercilessly kicked him on the back of the head.
He stepped hard.
In the blink of an eye, Ole won a great victory. The surrounding recruits made a commotion, looked at each other, and stopped talking. They could see that Ole's skills were different from theirs and had undergone special training. Maybe they
Their strength may be much greater than that of Ole and the others, but if they really take action, they will definitely lose.
The soldier who was delivering the order laughed: "Okay? Well, I've seen you new recruits too much. You have to fight for it every time. Anyway, someone is unlucky. Don't care about me. This is the order of the team leader.
Yes, let these young people from Kali Village be the team leaders. If you are not happy, forget it. If you can defeat them anyway, the team leaders will be yours... But don’t be like that stupid bear who was knocked unconscious in the blink of an eye.
Already."
Ignoring the annoyed looks of the new recruits, the soldier said hello to Bit and said with a smile: "Sir squad leader, I'm going back to resume my duties. You should quickly select people and form your own squad. A squad of ten people,
That is to say, in addition to yourself, you must have nine soldiers under your command. The command of the team leader is that training must start after lunch, otherwise military law will be imposed."
Lei finally got up from the ground in embarrassment and asked puzzledly: "Military law practice, what exactly is military law practice? The team leader also said this word just now."
The soldier drew his long sword, made a beheading gesture, laughed loudly and separated from the crowd and walked out. There was a commotion among the recruits around, and they discussed with each other in low voices and did not dare to speak. After all, there is only one head, and beheading is
How can you eat if you lose it?
Taking advantage of the free time after lunch, Bit and the others learned the news about the shortage of ordnance from Lei's mouth, and they all immediately became stunned. Steko had told them about the importance of a good piece of equipment on the battlefield.
Without equipment, half of the battle is lost. Now, of the 30,000 new recruits, less than 10,000 can be armed, and several thousand of them are without armor. How will the battle be fought then?
Lei looked at his serious-looking companion and whispered: "But, isn't it said that we are a defensive force? Maybe we don't need to go to the front line? Well... we just need to maintain local security."
Bit smiled bitterly: "Lei, do you think that the Duke spent so much money to recruit us just to maintain law and order? I asked one of Lord Klaus's soldiers on the way, Duke Greene's most elite
The corps is the 'Green Field Corps', which has already gone to the front line. His additional three divisions of private troops are now responsible for training us. Think about it, on weekdays, the 'Green Field Corps' will never maintain law and order.
Yes, the other three divisions are responsible for guarding traffic arteries, collecting taxes or guarding the territory's borders. Those responsible for public security are the four teams of the emperor in the territory. They only have a size of 4,000 people. Now we have
Do you need 500,000 new soldiers?"
Lei was stunned, and Bit shook his head: "It seems that we will be sent to the front line soon, otherwise we will not be recruited. So, Lei, you must be mentally prepared."
Lei licked his lips and asked: "You guys, what do you think about going to the battlefield?"
Bit and the others looked at each other, nodded and said, "What does that matter? Think about it, we can earn at most one gold coin a year in the village. If we can kill a few more enemies, we can make a lot of money. Also.
Yes, Lei, don’t you want to make achievements on the battlefield?”
Lei didn't speak. He lowered his head gently and shook his head. What he was thinking was: "I don't want to make contributions on the battlefield, I just want to live quietly. My mother's health is not good, and my
There is still grass to be shoveled in the fields."
However, it is obvious that Bit and the others do not think so. Perhaps it is the unique enthusiasm of young people. They have already begun to make plans, thinking about how to train the following recruits as quickly as possible, and how to increase the number of recruits faster.
own strength.
After a while, seeing Lei still in a daze, Bit slapped him hard on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Lei, don't worry, I will incorporate you into my team. If you really go to the battlefield, you
Just be responsible for covering me. Your bow and arrow are the best in the village, and they are the best way to shoot people... Maybe you can kill the generalissimo of Emperor Smart, then you will be prosperous.
Oh."
Other companions also joked: "Yes, if you kill the opponent's generalissimo, according to the emperor's military merit reward, you will at least be a baron and you will also have a fief. Lei, you have to work hard, right?"
Let their generalissimo shoot."
A smile appeared on Lei's face. He was a young man after all. He let go of his worries and started discussing with his companions enthusiastically. He made up his mind that he had not yet learned all the boxing and marksmanship skills, so he had to learn them well.
Take some exercise and you'll have more chances to save your life on the battlefield.
After thinking for a while, Lei suddenly asked: "Should I carry a knife with me? If I run out of arrows, I can still use the knife to kill the enemy."
Bit looked at him strangely: "That's of course. Uncle Ste said that in the Imperial Army, all archers have melee weapons, because the enemy is likely to get close to us."
Lei exclaimed: "Then, wouldn't it be that the ordnance is even more insufficient? There are fifteen hundred bows and arrows. If the archers want to wear swords, won't these swords have to be discounted? How will we fight then?"
Everyone was silent, and couldn't help but feel more worried in their hearts.
At this moment, the call for assembly sounded. Lei and the others quickly rushed out of the tent. After finding the manpower of their team, they hurriedly followed a few veterans and rushed out of the camp. The castle of Klaus's team was there.
It is on the plain, so there is no need for any special training place. As long as everyone goes out, there is a wide enough place for the recruits to toss around. This is a convenience.
Just as Lei and the others started their first day of training, the 'Green Field Corps' had already approached the 'Iron-Blooded Battle Fort'. Four teams directly under the empire were swimming on their wings as their scout team, and in front of them,
A large team of troops was also dispatched to inquire about the news. In the rear, hundreds of messengers were rushing back and forth to convey the military information to Duke Greene in the rear, so that he could grasp the news on the battlefield as soon as possible. But to put it bluntly, Duke Greene was a civil servant, and these
The news only allowed him to sit in his mansion with peace of mind and not run away with his family.
The strange thing is that it has been three days and the Green Field Corps has not come into contact with any soldiers from the Smart Empire at all.
The captain of the forward sentry, a black iron knight with five teeth in a wolf's mouth, looked at the front a little strangely. He could even vaguely see the shadow of the 'Iron-Blooded Battle Fort'. Could it be that Shima
Have the troops of the Te Empire been waiting for their arrival in the 'Iron-Blooded Battle Fort'? It would be a good idea to use the facilities of the battle fort to deal with the troops of the Van Te Empire.
The captain laughed: "You are kidding, are we crazy to attack the 'Second City on the Continent'? It will take fifty 'Green Field Legions' to complete such a task, right? To repay the Lord Knight, we have already seen the 'iron-blooded battle'"
"Fort, please tell me the next action plan. Should we camp here? Well, on the plains, it is impossible for the Smart Empire's army to defeat us, right?"
The three soldiers galloped back on horseback. After about three hours, the main team of the 'Green Field Legion' arrived in a mighty manner. Along with the commander, the badge was a golden flying dragon with three fangs in its mouth.
Under the orders of Golden Knight Kolofei, the 'Green Field Army' began to prepare to camp on the spot. They brought enough fences, arrow stones, and powerful crossbow arrows. If the enemy dared to invade, they would be killed in the camp.
It was fine before.
Kolofi led a group of high-level knights and galloped to a place less than a mile away from the 'Iron-Blooded Battle Fort', observing the situation in the city unscrupulously. Behind them, a team of elite archers were already close.
Holding the strong bow tightly, he was ready to attack the opponent's magician at any time. This was also a move made by the knights of the Vante Empire because of their confidence in their own strength. They did not care at all about the ground troops of the Smart Empire.
Their magicians can be dealt with with bows and arrows.
The 'Iron-Blooded Battle Fort' squatted on the ground like a giant monster, and the dark city walls exuded a hint of cool air. Several senior generals of the Smart Empire stood at the top of the city, looking at the enemies below with indifferent eyes.
A silver knight asked Kolofi in a low voice: "Sir, how many troops do you estimate they have?"
Kolofi frowned: "Who knows? However, our 'Green Field Corps' is the Duke, no, the most elite regiment in the entire southern empire. With the army of the Smart Empire, they would not dare to fight
We started... a head-to-head confrontation, who are we afraid of? Well, they also know their own weaknesses, so they hide in the castle they captured through conspiracy and don't come out, right?"
Kolofei looked disdainfully at the officers of the Smart Empire on the city wall, and after making a rude gesture, he used up the fighting spirit in his body and laughed wildly: "You just stay in the city, haha, you want to let them go?"
Are we here to attack the city to consume our troops? Are we so stupid? Hum, when our imperial army arrives, the good days of your Smart Empire will be over."
A black-robed magician appeared on the top of the city and said in a very gentle tone: "Is the person here the third-level golden knight of Kolofei of the Green Field Corps? Ah, the rank of major general of the empire, really
You are a big shot, Duke Green sent you to deal with us?"
Kolofi was stunned for a moment and shouted: "Hmph, I have to admire the intelligence of your Smart Empire... But what's the use of this? My camp is right behind. If you have the courage, come here
Attack us... But let me remind you, we have prepared a powerful crossbow with a range of a thousand steps. Can your magician's magic work at such a long distance? Hahahaha."
The black-robed mage chuckled: "Oh? I brought 10,000 mages with me on this expedition. Your 'Green Field Corps' is equipped with only ten crossbows, so what threat can it pose to us? But as you said
You know, any mage is a valuable asset, and our empire will not waste their lives..."
After pondering for a while, the black-robed mage pointed at Kolofi with a smile: "I know your temper very well. That coward Green sent you to inquire about information and was on standby at the border of Xili Province.
Right? But you actually rushed to the 'Qingfeng Plain', which is in line with my plan... Well, while waiting for your emperor's death, eating your 'Green Field Corps' is also a little entertainment."
Kolofi was furious: "For entertainment? You treat us as entertainment? Damn it, I want to duel you. Tell me your name and family title. I want to duel you one on one."
The black-robed mage took off the cloak, revealing the badge on the left chest, with a proud smile on his face: "I am Carlin, one of the elders of the Smart Empire Mage Association, this time I will be in the middle of Smart
The commander of the army, the highest-ranking Diamond Dragon Mage... Haha, I am not a knight, so I have the right not to accept your challenge... Especially, for a dead man, why should I care about his challenge?"
Karin's mage emblem is a flying dragon made of fine diamonds with fangs and claws. The dragon's mouth holds an olive branch with seven green olive leaves on it.
Kolofi was stunned for a moment, wondering why the Smart Empire would actually send a magician as the commander of the army. At this moment, a long sword with red fighting spirit penetrated his heart from behind. Kolofi
Fei howled miserably: "Why..." Then he staggered and fell off the horse.
The knights following him were stunned and shouted angrily: "Steka, Steka, you, what are you doing?"
Steka, a first-level gold knight, waved the long sword in his hand with a ferocious smile, and the whistling fighting spirit rolled up red tracks. Before his colleagues could react, he cut the necks of three senior knights, and then
He galloped madly towards the 'Iron-Blooded Battle Fort'.
The extremely angry Vante knights chased after them on horseback, but the large fireballs roaring from the city wall and countless bows and arrows blocked their way, forcing them to retreat in embarrassment. Just as they stood facing the city
When Steka, who was laughing wildly at the door, cursed angrily, a loud shout of killing suddenly came from the camp behind. Four ambush soldiers rushed towards the unfinished camp of the Green Field Corps from four directions.
With the powerful magic support of a large number of magicians, the Smart Emperor's army, which had an absolute numerical advantage, spent more than 10,000 casualties and completely annihilated the 'Green Field Corps' in half a day.
Kalin, who was standing on the top of the city, sighed: "Our Smart Corps is really useless to the extreme. We attacked the opponent with superior strength and suffered so many casualties. If we didn't have the 'Iron-Blooded Battle Fortress', I would really
I don’t have the confidence to complete this plan, really... If it hadn’t been for Steka, dear Count Steka, who killed their top commander and three good men in a surprise attack, I’m afraid the casualties would have increased by 5,000?”
Behind him, a tall general wearing dark green armor and a pair of gray eyes nodded, and said in a deep voice: "This is natural. Compared with the elite corps of the Vant Empire, the army of the Smart Empire is inferior.
Fortunately, the Smart Empire has a large number of magicians, otherwise, hehe."
Karin shrugged his shoulders: "Admiral Sarin, have you lived in the Vant Empire for too long and you have forgotten that you are a subject of the Smart Empire? Well, you can't talk nonsense when you insult your own country's army like this.
, I can pretend that I didn’t hear it this time, understand?...Well, I really want to know whether the ones that follow will be the legions directly under the royal family of the Vante Empire, or those miscellaneous recruits."
Shalin was furious and looked at the back of Kalin's head angrily, thinking about the consequences of hitting him with a fist. Didn't this yin and yang guy insult the Smart Empire's army just now? It was really abominable.
..My secret knighthood in the country is that of a marquis. Although this guy is of noble birth, he is just a count now, huh.
Kalin suddenly turned around and looked at Shalin with a smile: "Aren't you convinced? It's better to be convinced, okay? Look, if our magicians hadn't invented the phantom magic that can hide the army in a large area, the army of the Vante Empire wouldn't be able to
It's so easy to be fooled. Even if you mobilize those troops who betrayed your motherland, you may not be able to deal with the opponent's elite troops, right?... Well, I don't know what happened to the other two armies. They should have already entered the attack position.
?”
Shalin felt his heart tingle at the strange look in Kalin's eyes, and quickly changed the subject: "I think it should be the elite corps of the Vant Empire, right? They won't send those rubbish without any combat effectiveness to die."
Karin pouted, frowned, rummaged around for a long time, took out a copper, threw it on the ground, and muttered in a low voice: "Then, I bet a copper, the first to come must be the recruits recruited by Duke Green.
..”
A sneer appeared at the corner of Shalin's mouth, and he snorted twice.
Four teams directly under the Vantage Empire that were swimming around the outskirts of the 'Green Field Corps' realized that something was wrong and quickly fled towards the Xili Province. The Smart Empire's army did not chase them. They seemed to be staying put.
Disappeared.
When the team leaders of the four teams anxiously sent out messengers to report the results to Duke Green, Lei happened to shoot the first arrow at the training camp, hitting the bullseye, and won a burst of applause. Lei was sighing: "
This arrow is too soft, too light, too short, and has no power."
