Many people in the Piast Army had to wash the pots and boil water to make breakfast again. This time everyone put lids on the pots.
At this time, the wind died down, and soon puffs of smoke rose straight into the air.
Casimir sat in the tent, thinking quietly with a cold face.
He felt that something was wrong. Duke Wesson's performance was too fragmented. The previous actions of hunting down the Eagle Knight and ambushing the mages, and throwing things around like a child having a tantrum appeared in the same person, which made people feel very contradictory.
.
Casimir himself was kicked to death on the battlefield when he was young because of a palace struggle. In the end, he finally survived and got better and better and gradually became a prince with military power. Therefore, he understood very well that people of this age were facing completely impossible situations.
What do you think when you defeat an enemy?
After thinking about it, he thought there were only two possibilities. One was that someone behind Duke Wesson was actually controlling everything, and the other was that this bastard was acting.
It's okay if it's the former one, because there are traces of what the other party wants to do.
If it is the latter, then you need to think carefully about what conspiracy Duke Wesson is playing.
Casimir began to guess the opponent's intentions. In terms of military strength, he was overwhelming, and the opponent also knew this, so he evacuated the entire territory from the beginning and only made small interceptions.
From the ambush of the giant eagle knight at the beginning, to the traps along the way, to the ambush of the mage group, and from time to time throwing things from the sky, these methods are more like a kind of intimidation, as if they want to get rid of the difficulties.
At the same time, there is another possibility, which is to show off, achieve some results, and finally report to the superiors. He has seen this approach many times, and many of his subordinates deal with errands in this way.
Casimir judged that Duke Wesson or the people behind him knew that the strength gap between the two sides was too big to confront them head-on, so on the one hand, they evacuated the territory to reassure the local lords, and on the other hand, they made some sporadic resistance to communicate with the superiors.
The same goes for throwing things from the sky. Even winged unicorns are out, so their king has nothing to blame.
While eating breakfast, Casimir wondered if he could contact Duke Wesson and send a team of several hundred Ant mercenaries to help him improve his achievements and make him stop throwing things from the sky. At least
Don't throw horse manure.
As for the previous giant eagle knights and mages, they are gone. They are the king's men, not his prince's men. As long as they can plunder the west city of Hanma City, some sacrifices are acceptable.
For him, his cavalry regiment is his foundation. Most of these winged cavalry come from his own territory and are completely loyal to him.
Before breakfast was finished, there was a burst of yelling and cursing outside the tent. As soon as I heard it, I knew that Duke Wesson was back again.
Casimir sighed, wishing he could grow wings and fly up to beat him.
At this time, what was placed behind Frederick was no longer stones, but magic incendiary bombs.
He quickly found the place where the horses were gathered from the air. The cavalry were feeding the horses. Many people raised their heads and cursed, and more people picked up their shields.
The first thing to be dealt with in this air raid was the hussars. Last night he had not been able to find where these people lived. Now the Piast army is preparing to set off. The iconic metal wings are installed on the backs of these elite cavalry. From the air, it looks like
Go to a small forest the size of a football field.
The hussars are passed down from generation to generation. Although most people are not small landowners, they are also homesteaders with a good income. The metal feathers engraved with different magic circles have been passed down from generation to generation and are constantly accumulated.
In Frederick's view, the concepts of these wings were very advanced and could be learned from, but they would not be shown off like them.
Frederick flew over 300 meters in the air. This height was considered safe and the bow and arrow lost their power.
He threw two stones first, which attracted a lot of curses, and at the same time calculated the lead time.
At dawn, he made a circle in the air and officially entered the bombing route. Frederick picked up an incendiary bomb from behind, confirmed that the detonation time was set to 6 seconds, and then gently threw it down at the bombing position.
Then the second one, the third one... He dropped several incendiary bombs, ensuring that every point was within the killing range of the two incendiary bombs.
Everyone was watching the falling thing for fear of hitting their heads. No one would think it was a magic weapon. They thought it was better if it wasn't horse dung, so no one would want to intercept it.
Six seconds is enough for an incendiary bomb to free fall from a height of 300 meters to a position about 100 meters above the ground.
So people saw several white and blue suns appearing one after another at an altitude of 100 meters.
Although these "suns" are only three or four meters in diameter, they are so dazzling that many people nearby close their eyes.
After a few breaths, the sun exploded into a rain of fire that filled the sky and splashed into every corner around it.
The heart-rending neighing of nearly a thousand war horses shocked everyone. Casimir rushed out of the tent upon hearing the sound and immediately smelled the smell of burning meat.
The blue-white magical flames quickly burned through the skin and muscles of the war horse, burning into the depths. The horse struggled and fell down within a moment.
Some war horses in the fringe area that were only slightly touched by flames went crazy in pain and ran wildly through the military camp, knocking down many people and tents.
The experienced veterans nearby should immediately use weapons to kill these war horses, otherwise the entire military camp will be in chaos.
The winged cavalry were also screaming. Many of them wanted to extinguish the flames on their bodies with their hands at first. Unexpectedly, the flames quickly touched their palms, and within a moment, their entire palms turned into charcoal.
The armor they were wearing could not withstand the flames for long. The temperature of the flames was much higher than the melting point of steel. It quickly burned through the armor and ignited the clothes lining, and the whole person was on fire.
Some people opened the magic circle on the metal feathers behind their backs, but some of the magic shields used to defend against external attacks were several meters away from their bodies and were useless against the flames on their bodies.
Other magic shields were attached to the armor. They bought their owners a moment, but soon collapsed due to overload.
Some cavalrymen who used ice armor thought they could escape, but as a result, the two magical elements of ice and fire exploded as soon as they came into contact.
The fire rain also ignited the fodder piled nearby, and in the blink of an eye, thick smoke rose straight into the sky.
However, they made preparations last night in case of a night attack, and many people started putting out the fire.
Frederick spun around in the air and reached behind his hand to touch. There were still several incendiary bombs, and he threw them towards the other war horses and pack horses.
After he threw it, he ran away. The internal purchase price of a magic incendiary bomb was 500 florins, which was equivalent to the fact that the family used to not eat or drink all year round, so they couldn't just throw it around.
Before leaving, he vaguely heard someone shouting on the ground: "Wesson! Give me back the cavalry!"
