Qin Feng first asked: "How is Will, the affairs officer from the royal family?"
"He is already the most loyal believer in Taoism, and so are the 20 guards he brought." Taoist priest Feichen answered with a small smile.
Qin Feng raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, the effect was good after summoning 10 assassins. The price was that Sarcoor had 134 points of spiritual energy left.
"How many crystal cores have been collected?" This is what Qin Feng is most concerned about.
"Together with what the merchant Richard sent, there are about 8,000 spiritual energy points. Most of the merchants' transactions are in exchange for gold coins." Taoist priest Fei Chen replied.
"Well, Baron Greenstone went to Fengsha Village with an army of 1,500 people. He will probably start a war with us on the pretext that Fengsha Village is his territory. You can ask the clerk Will to modify the scroll and add Fengsha Village to my name.
Next. At the same time, be prepared for defense. Baron Greenstone will definitely not give up with so many people. Find an opportunity to see if he can be destroyed." Qin Feng had a sudden idea and took this opportunity to see if he could suppress Greenstone.
Take it into your own hands.
Now he has a lot of gold coins in his hand, and Greenstone Town has a large number of crystal nuclei, which can just be used to exchange all the gold coins for crystal nuclei, allowing Sarcoor to speed up his upgrade.
At the same time, Qin Feng speculated about the discord between the royal family and the nobles in the Kingdom of Paya. There is no reason for Baron Greenstone to directly send troops to attack the nobles canonized by the royal family without any notice, because he is no longer afraid or even cares about the majesty of the royal family?
"Haha... This is the best news..." Qin Feng's mouth curled up slightly, and his white teeth revealed a chill.
The endless wasteland in front of Fengsha Village.
An army carrying the banner of the Green Stone Baron arrived five hundred meters away from Fengsha Village and immediately began to form a formation.
The number of more than 1,500 people in the team was now equal to the total number of people in Fengsha Village. It seemed that they were coming to deal with the Tenglong mercenary group. Almost all the merchants and mercenary groups left Fengsha Village and came relatively far away.
There, I watched the events develop one after another.
"Why did Baron Greenstone's army come here?" a businessman asked in confusion.
"Isn't it because of Baron Mouse Mountain? Baron Mouse Mountain has been occupying Fengsha Village, selling a large number of products, and earning gold coins as high as the mountain." A certain mercenary replied.
"It's all about money, but Baron Mouse Mountain doesn't understand the rules. He didn't pay taxes to Baron Greenstone, nor did he pay rent to Fengsha Village. Baron Greenstone is here to teach Baron Mouse Mountain a lesson this time..." A certain
The mercenary leader analyzed.
"I'm afraid it's not just a lesson, it might swallow up all the properties of the Tenglong Mercenary Group." A certain business tycoon sighed: "I'm afraid the Kingdom of Paya will be in chaos. The royal family can't control the war between the nobles."
Baron Greenstone's army was in formation. Ten manor owners with the title of [Samurai] lined up on both wings with 100 militiamen recruited by each. The [Samurai] were well-equipped with fish scale armor, wearing iron helmets, and white thorns on their heads.
Feathers, and a heavy scimitar on his waist.
The militiamen are equipped with their own equipment, mostly a spear, harpoon or pitchfork. The better ones will have a helmet and a brand new leather armor.
In the center of the army is the main force built by Baron Greenstone. There are 400 well-trained warriors wearing animal scale armor that combines animal skins and iron scales, a round shield, and a scimitar. They are led by 20 [Samurai].
At the very center of the army is placed the most elite cavalry in Greenstone Town, led by 4 elite [Scimitar Knights], led by 20 [Knights], and a knighthood composed of 80 quasi-knights.
The [Knight] wears a white feather on his helmet, while the [Scimitar Knight] wears a red feather on his helmet. Quasi-knights are not qualified to wear feather decorations on their helmets. This is the appearance of the Kingdom of Paya to distinguish extraordinary levels.
in form.
In the last row of the army were four well-protected carriages, carrying four small magic crystal cannons.
Leading this army is Baron Greenstone's most trusted veteran, the [Scimitar Knight] Bayer who serves the third generation of Baron Greenstone's family. It is rumored that Bayer has reached the pinnacle of the elite level. Unfortunately, he is now old and frail. In the future,
There is no chance to advance anymore.
A knight dispatched by Commander Bayer galloped among the Greenstone Town army. He came about a hundred meters away from Fengsha Village and shouted: "The Tenglong mercenary group has occupied Fengsha Village. Kill me, the tax collector of Greenstone Town. Why not?"
Come out obediently and be captured without restraint, otherwise our Greenstone Town army will kill you all."
At the gateless entrance of Fengsha Village, spearmen and guard sword players were arrayed. At this time, they collectively parted a path. Will, the royal affairs officer, came to the knight under the protection of 20 guards.
"The leader of the Tenglong mercenary group has been canonized as Baron Mouse Mountain. The tax officer of Greenstone Town insulted the nobles and it would be unreasonable to die. As for Fengsha Village, His Majesty the King has made this place the territory of Baron Mouse Mountain. Please tell Baron Greenstone
, don’t cause trouble, and withdraw your troops as soon as possible, otherwise the royal army will burn Greenstone Town as punishment.”
"Keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, I will chop you down now..." The knight pulled out his scimitar and looked at the clerk Will fiercely, but Will stared at him without fear, and Will's men also raised their spears.
Aim at the knight.
After a stalemate for a period of time, the knight had no choice but to return and convey the words of the steward Will to the commander-in-chief Bayl.
After hearing this, Bayer said disdainfully: "The canonization of the royal family? This is not the era of Daugtier I. The nobility canonized now must be approved by more than 50% of the members of the Noble Council."
"Don't worry about the royal family's affairs officers, just attack directly. The Tenglong mercenary group, hum, are either stupid young men from other countries, or they are chess pieces of the royal family. No matter which one, you will be wiped out by the Green Stone Army.
.”
Commander Bayil drew his scimitar and shouted: "Attack..."
Ten ordinary extraordinary [Samurai] manor owners rushed to Fengsha Village with the militiamen recruited according to regulations. In their understanding, 1,000 militiamen were enough to defeat the Tenglong mercenary group with only more than 600 people.
To them, mercenaries are all treacherous people with no honor, who value money but not people. They will run away for their lives when encountering a war.
This battle is an opportunity for the militiamen to make a fortune.
Service Officer Will quickly retreated to Fengsha Village. With only 20 guards, he would definitely not be able to withstand the large number of militiamen.
1,000 militiamen swarmed like a flood towards the east gate of Fengsha Village, where several rows of guard soldiers had been lined up and were waiting.
But the first to attack were the archers of the guard station standing on the platform behind the city wall. Under the command of the general flag, they drew their bow strings and said, "Aim and shoot..."
Sharp arrows streaked across the sky and landed on the heads of the charging militiamen with minimal armor.
Countless militiamen fell down in an instant, and the powerful attack power made the militiamen suddenly frightened.
"Charge, charge, don't stop..." The [Samurai] drew out their machetes and chopped down several militiamen fiercely, urging them to move forward.
After the second and third rain of arrows, the militiamen finally rushed to the gateless village entrance. In their understanding, entering the open city gate meant victory.
"Come on, the wealth of the Tenglong Mercenary Group is inside..."
"They shot my brother to death, I must kill them all..."
"Kill for the sake of military exploits..."
The militiamen roared excitedly and rushed to the formation at the village gate. As long as they broke their formation, the mountains of gold in Fengsha Village might be theirs...
Rushing into the village gate, what awaited them was the guard swordsman who raised his shield to defend. The guard spearman behind them lowered his spear and stretched out from the guard sword player's shoulder, waist and calf.
The 5-meter long spear was the first to penetrate the oncoming militiamen, easily making a large hole in his body. The twigs on the spear stopped it from stabbing him further. The spear was retracted by its owner, then thrust out again, and then retracted again.
thrust out…
The militiamen who were occasionally lucky enough to escape the dense spear array were very happy. The swordsmen holding large swords and shields came forward in twos and killed him with their swords raised and lowered.
"Attack, attack, don't retreat. Those who retreat will be reduced to slaves..."
A [Samurai] was very anxious when he saw that the militiamen were still unable to enter Fengsha Village. However, the arrows on their heads continued to rain. A large number of militiamen lost their combat effectiveness. Even the [Samurai] could not please them. Several [Samurai] were actually killed.
The archers focused their fire and killed them.
The [Warrior] shouted: "All extraordinary people, rush in with me. The future and wealth are right in front of you. Fight with me..."
Just after shouting, several warriors were very moved. As a result, fireballs, ice arrows, wind blades flew from a distance, and earth thorns appeared on the ground. As a result, the warrior was bombarded indiscriminately and died in a terrible state. He was frightened.
So that other warriors would never dare to take the lead again.
The militiamen suffered a large number of losses one after another, and their morale continued to decline. In addition, many warriors were killed by spells, which caused the morale of the militiamen to plummet.
"The extraordinary masters are all dead, let's run away quickly..."
Someone yelled, and they immediately ran away without any samurai under their control. The fleeing people led other militiamen, resulting in a series of rout.
Commander Bayir frowned and said: "Take a tenth of the escaping militiamen, demote their entire families into slaves to enforce military discipline, bring up the magic crystal cannon, and blow down the city wall for me."
Bayer didn't want to use the magic crystal cannon. After all, the cannonballs made from crystal cores were too expensive.
After receiving the order, the knight in charge of delivering the order turned around and was about to go to the rear to deliver the order. Suddenly he was startled, his pupils dilated, and a panicked scream came from his mouth, "There is an enemy attack from the rear..."
Commander Bayir was startled. He quickly looked back and saw about 400 Tenglong mercenary regiments rushing towards them. The distance was less than 1,000 meters away. The most important thing was that the Tenglong mercenary regiment actually had more than 100 cavalry.
"Look, the mercenary group from Fengsha Village rushed out..." the knight next to Bayer suddenly shouted.
Bayer looked back and saw that a large number of Tenglong mercenary groups were leaving the village chasing the fleeing militiamen.
Bayir's body began to feel cold. The front army was defeated and the rear was attacked. Although there are still 500 elite troops available, facing attacks from two sides, the morale of the army will still be unstable.
"The damn Tenglong mercenary group must be a pawn arranged by the royal family. Otherwise, where would they get so many cavalry and so many mages?"
