After sending McMahon to the docked horse, Shiloh thought to himself, since he had already done the operation behind the scenes, why not let McMahon help him and arrange more weak opponents to directly ensure promotion to the top 12.
He hesitated for a moment, then when he saw McMahon getting on his horse and about to leave, he hurriedly licked his face and said: "Old Marshal, since you have already done it behind the scenes, why don't you just ensure that I advance to the top 12?"
McMahon was stunned.
"Since we can arrange the opponents of the Desert People, we can definitely arrange the opponents of the Storm Army. Old Marshal, how about you help me, arrange some weak troops for me, and let me fight all the way to the top 12."
McMahon was so angry that he had been in the military for so many years and had fought countless bloody battles. The Pontos people had always respected and feared him. Only Hilo, the only one, dared to bargain with him so blatantly.
He slapped Herode on the forehead and said angrily: "I thought you finally had the backbone of your fathers, but now you still want to climb all the way to the top twelve? You kid, don't even think about it!
"
"Either beat me to the top twelve for you honestly, or I will place the desert people opposite you now!"
Seeing that the old marshal was really angry, Shiloh hurriedly apologized and finally sent the old man away. Then he secretly muttered: "What's the difference? I can cheat and eat meat but I'm not allowed to drink soup."
Although the soldiers and civilians of Pontos place great value on honor, the key point is that Hilo himself is not from Pontos. In his opinion, defending honor is something that only passionate young people can do.
, is far less important than entering the top twelve and receiving system rewards.
Even if possible, Shiloh plans to give up immediately after advancing to the top twelve to preserve the strength of his men.
But if he really did this, it is estimated that the old man McMahon could directly lead his troops to his mansion, tie him up and send him to the palace.
Alas, it really doesn't work. When the time comes, we can defend with all our strength and pretend that we are not the opponent and lose the game.
If something were to happen to these one hundred Stormtroopers, the pain would be no less than a piece of flesh and blood cut out of Hilo's heart.
After Connor came back, Shiloh came to Connor and told him in detail, and finally warned: "Connor, whether it is the Storm Army or you, they are my greatest strength now. This competition will make waves."
Again, you and I need to support each other and preserve our own strength."
Connor hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and left thoughtfully.
It's night.
Sleepless all night.
----------------------------------------
On the second day, the Royal City Competition continued as usual.
Faced with the Desert People's unstoppable promotion momentum, Pontos's troops took a deep breath and wanted to defeat their opponents.
This time the desert people's opponent is a powerful army from the Central Military Region. It has been established for a hundred years and has been defending the tranquility of the Hongye Plain. It is extremely powerful.
This time the Central Military Region dispatched a heavy armored infantry regiment. All its members were young men between the ages of 22 and 35, with strong physiques.
Furthermore, the entire body of these warriors is protected by thick steel plate armor, which is indestructible except for the gaps exposed by the mask and weak joints. When wearing the armor, it requires the help of several attendants to be fully armed.
Their combat prowess was also extremely astonishing. They carried a single-edged battle ax with a sharp cold light in their hands. The ax surface alone was as long as an adult's forearm. It was also stained with red rust that could not be cleaned off, making it intimidating.
This ax can easily split an adult in half.
As soon as this regiment came out, they immediately formed a dense formation of iron barrels, like a section of the Great Steel Wall. I don't know what could shake their progress.
Even a warrior as fierce as a beast soul, facing such an iron block with astonishing defensive power, still feels like some rats are trying to steal eggs - they feel like they have no way to start.
However, this time, the members sent by the desert people were mainly halfling ostrich knights, and there were only a very small number of beast soul warriors.
Seeing this scene, Marshal McMahon's face was a little gloomy. The opponent really knew the pros and cons of Pontos's troops. The halfling Ostrich Knight moved quickly, was good at crossbows, and could make traps, so he could avoid this.
heavy armored battle steps.
But now the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. The referee waved the flag in his hand and announced the start of the game.
Sure enough, as soon as the game started, these halfling ostrich knights quickly rushed around the heavy infantry. At the same time, they took off the exquisite crossbows hanging on their waists and shot at the joint gaps of the heavy infantry while moving.
Heavy infantry warriors do not have shields. The armor alone is already extremely heavy, seriously slowing down their speed. If equipped with a shield, it is estimated that it will be more difficult for these warriors to move.
There was a series of ding-ding-dong-dong sounds, and the crossbow arrows drew sparks on the solid armor, and then were bounced to the side. Although these halflings were good at using crossbows, they were not able to hit exactly where they pointed, and they were a little heavy.
As he took a step forward, Zhan was accidentally hit by a crossbow arrow in the joint gap. He endured the pain and forcefully pulled out the crossbow arrow before continuing to approach the desert people.
The cheers from the audience were deafening. As long-term enemies, the Desert People actually won two games in a row. This greatly hit their self-esteem. They wished they could quickly tear these Desert People into pieces in heavy infantry battles to vent their anger.
hatred.
So, I only saw the light-footed halfling ostrich knights on the field, just like the cunning and agile foxes in the mountains and forests, easily teasing heavy infantry combat. The most annoying thing is that these halflings also quickly switch from heavy armor to infantry combat from time to time.
He passed by, fired a few crossbows, and then immediately ran away.
"mean!"
"coward!"
"Are those bastards of the desert just running away?"
There were shouts and curses in the audience, but these desert people became even more excessive. Some halfling ostrich knights even pulled the reins directly and made insulting gestures towards the audience.
The heavy-armed infantry warrior takes his time and steps slowly and firmly, relying on the strong armor to slowly push forward, forming a semicircle little by little, hoping to squeeze the opponent into the corner of the arena.
As long as you keep them close, these desert people are just clowns and have nothing to fear.
But at this moment, some heavy-armed infantrymen leaning on the front row suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.
Wow, this seemed to have caused a chain reaction. All at once, most of the heavy infantrymen collapsed, and the originally solid formation immediately fell apart. I don’t know what happened.
McMahon's expression changed, he thought for a few seconds, and said coldly: "Ah... these brats actually put medicine on the crossbow arrows."
As soon as this statement came out, the surrounding nobles immediately went into an uproar.
