Volume 2 [Dark Tide] Chapter 523 The Crazy Avenger

Metal armor often means "defense that is difficult to break" in cold weapon warfare.

Ordinary scimitars and long swords are difficult to cause damage to heavy plate armor, which means that the party without armor will be at an absolute disadvantage in the current combat environment.

One side is fully armed, and the other is almost "naked". Although the attacking cavalry did not have an amazing formation, after the contact between the two sides, the result of the equipment gap was very clear: the 30-man cavalry rushed from the beginning to the end, and not even a single one fell off the horse!

In fact, they don't have very high martial arts skills, and it can even be said that most of them are not as good as Hans and his deputy. However, the huge gap in equipment directly makes people ignore this point: they are wearing enchanted armor with "block" and "levitation" passive magic circles!

As long as the spar inlaid on the armor has enough energy, it can passively activate the "magic shield" to block attacks while reducing its weight by half. As a costly experiment, only a hundred sets of this kind of armor were produced, and then they were discontinued for revision. After they were shipped out of the Elson Armory, they were directly thrown by Rody to Suo Deluoer.

Therefore, the current team has given horse thieves a deep experience of what despair is...

They swung their long knives desperately, but felt that they were trying to cut down a group of human-shaped iron piles. The weapons were either curled or shattered, and they couldn't even break the defense.

Thanks to this team of knights' ability to fight on horseback was worse than expected, Hans was lucky enough to survive the frontal charge. But he was injured and realized that he had no hope of winning, so he immediately chose to escape.

Such behavior is devastating to morale.

The team that had lost their backbone broke up immediately, and the rest of the matter was very simple. The three knights left the team and turned to chase Hans, while the remaining knights continued to rush towards the camp of the horse thieves. They were invincible in their charge all the way, and completely killed the camp without any damage.

Most of the horse thieves were forced to flee.

When the private soldiers led by Catherine and the priests of the Rosary Cross arrived at the rear, Hans' head had been discarded in the center of the camp, and all the remaining horse thieves gave up resistance and surrendered on their knees.

The knights around couldn't hide their excitement, many of them were still trembling from the surge of adrenaline, and some of them had difficulty holding the secondary weapons they were carrying because of the loss of strength. The captain, Mo Zang, took off his helmet, and the frowning Mo Zang was obviously dissatisfied with his subordinates' performance.

"There were a lot more mistakes than during training... Hasen! How did you ride your horse? You can't remember what you should, but you still fall behind!"

It was Roy, the subordinate of Dragon Lancer Davidian, and this thirty-man cavalry team was a reserve member of the Dragon Lancer Regiment.

In other words, these knights who have just won an overwhelming victory are a group of recruits who have never been on the battlefield.

"Check the equipment!"

After the battle was over, everyone began to follow the training steps to confirm that the enchanted armor was normal, compare the spar remaining, organize equipment, and count arrows. Catherine, who followed from behind, looked at these knights, dumbfounded and speechless.

Because the territory is relatively close, she immediately responded to the news that Efta was "coming to take action against the thieves". She thought that this battle would be like a traditional battle with all the troops and fight again, but she didn't know that she had just Gathering seven knights and a team of 70 or 80 people from the territory, the thieves camp with more than 400 people has been flattened by a cavalry team of 30 people...

The "Rose Cross" team was ordered to follow the logistics treatment team, and now seeing that the thirty knights didn't even have a serious injury, they could only go up and throw a few "healing spells" for show. The priest in charge of leading the team stood aside, but like Catherine, he couldn't help but stare at those black armors in a daze...

Just recruits who have just been trained for a short time, do they have this kind of fighting power?

Facing the threat of orcs, Catherine and the priests of the "Rosie Cross" were uncertain, but looking at the scene in front of them at this moment, they all had a thought in their hearts:

Perhaps, we can repel the orcs head-on?

*****

"Are you kidding me? Thirty people? Just captured a camp of 400 people?"

The letter with the battle report information was slapped on the table with a "slap", Earl Mirno's eyes swept over, his lips moved, and finally cursed: "This group of trash!"

Battle report letter? Impossible to be mistaken, Hans, the leader of the thieves, was hanged for public display, and the whole south of Efta cheered for it. Now that the news reached Charles II, it was like a slap in the face of Mirno—it was not that he did not expect the result that the thieves would be wiped out, but he never thought that his plan would be terminated so soon.

Earl Mirno, who was sitting in the armchair, closed his eyes, trying hard to calm down the anger in his chest, but his hands trembled involuntarily when he thought of the scene where his son Senna was hanged for public display.

Roddy must die! Everta must be destroyed!

Even if they are both human beings, he doesn't think there is any need to "share the same hatred". The sooner Roddy and Sally die, the better, and the matter of regaining the territory will be handed over to others. Milnor now hopes that the orcs will immediately capture Huo Lear City.

But these ideas are unrealistic after all, he sighed... Hans is just one of his many private soldiers, since supporting the thieves failed, then the follow-up plans will be piled up one by one.

There are many ways to drag Efta back. Ever since Earl Mirno accepted the task of Charles II, he has been thinking about how to make Rody perish as soon as possible almost every night, but this kind of person who was defeated by the opponent lightly He felt so frustrated that the emotions he was trying to control finally showed signs of getting out of control.

Once people are blinded by hatred, the choices they make will become more radical.

Earl Mirno closed his eyes for a long time like a statue, but when he opened them again, there was a hint of madness hidden in his eyes - he seemed calmer than before, his hands were no longer trembling, and his breathing was steady Come down, even the frown that has always been frowned is slowly stretched...

Standing up, he rummaged through the stacked papers in the study, and found the most detailed map of Efta in a short while.

Accurate scale, detailed population annotations, and even the direction of the river are all accurate. It can be said that with this map, the population of all the villages in Efta is clearly known. The most important thing is... "Elson City" is extremely conspicuously marked on this map, and key instructions have been made.

Charles II's impression of Elson City was still on the "dilapidated ruins", and the same was true for Mirno, but because Rody was the lord of this city, he valued Elson at the same level as Houllier City .

After scanning the map for a long time, Earl Mirno calmly rolled up the map, turned around and handed it to his subordinate who had been kneeling there and dared not make a sound.

"My lord... this is?"

The other party reached out to take the map, and just glanced at it. The densely packed markings were enough to make him feel Earl Mirno's hatred for Efta and Rody.

"Take it and copy it, the more copies the better."

Earl Mirno put his hands behind his back, turned and looked out the window, and said in a calm voice, "Find a way to hand it over to the orcs, they know what to do."

*****

Thousands of miles away, the Tasman Kingdom.

The orders of Augustine the Great were carried out layer by layer, and the signal that the war was about to start kept the whole country busy. However, different from the desire and excitement of the upper-class nobles for war, the "officials" at the bottom of the Tasman Kingdom, the days at this time But it was not easy.

In the town of "Kelsu" not far from the king, the local lord, Baron Boqi, was sitting in front of the brazier chatting with a man in black.

The long-term rain makes it difficult for Tasman's daytime temperature to rise, and it will drop to about ten degrees at night. It is too hot to use a fireplace, but putting a charcoal brazier can effectively remove the uncomfortable humidity and cold. Baron Pochi is a normal human being, but obviously he is not on the same side as the people under his rule - every lord knows the existence of the Tasman Kingdom, and they will eventually become Tasman undead a member of

So they are not so much "lords" as managers of "sheep", and how many new awakened undead can appear in the entire Tasman Kingdom every year is largely determined by these lords.

"In order to win this war, His Majesty wants to awaken more undead, I can understand, but... the awakening ceremony costs a lot. With double the amount, where can I gather these ritual materials?"

Pochi complained in a low voice, and to put it simply, he "cries poor" to the necromancer in front of him. But in the final analysis, this is also a very realistic problem: the ritual of awakening the undead is very resource-intensive, and there is still a problem with the success rate. The undead awakened every year are carefully selected before the decision, because the lord cherishes these expensive materials very much. .

"The materials required for the ceremony will naturally be distributed, but there are still a series of procedures after the approval of the parliament. Are you in a hurry now? Are Caston and Gandolf not in a hurry? They have three times more targets than you."

The voice under the black robe was hoarse and low, and it sounded like there was no emotion. The "Caston" and "Gandalf" he mentioned were both relatively powerful lords, and the number of "lambs" under their command exceeded one hundred thousand. They were characters that a baron like Porch couldn't afford.

The gray-white finger tapped twice: "Don't think too much about the issue of resources. Now you have to grit your teeth and complete the goal. When we have more land, you may have to worry about the problem of too many resources."

Bo Qi's expression softened when he heard the words, but he wouldn't take such things as "painting cakes to satisfy hunger" seriously, so he just changed the subject and said: "A few days ago, the river broke its embankment again. With the rain like this, I am afraid that many villages Everyone will suffer..."

"This kind of rain has been falling for hundreds of years, why? Can't it be resisted this year?"

The man in black raised his eyelids, "Next time you want to allocate funds from the council, you can change the reason. If the river breaks the embankment, not many people will die, and a few villages will be drowned. How much do you think you can allocate for the embankment repair? Hurry up." The most important thing is to complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty."

Poch was so blocked that he couldn't speak. It was true that the flooding of the rain had caused a lot of damage, but after thinking about it, he also felt that what the other party said made sense-the rain like the Tasman has been falling for hundreds of years. After a major earthquake 30 years ago, there has not even been a major flash flood, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Then... I still take His Majesty's order first."

Baron Pochi then remembered another difficult matter, and said without hesitation: "By the way, the task of 'hunting alien species' released by His Majesty is getting more and more difficult now. I asked several other barons, They also said that this kind of guy has become very difficult to catch recently, I wonder if you can mention a few words..."

These words finally made the necromancer look embarrassed, obviously with his status and authority, he couldn't give a better answer, he hesitated for a long time, but sighed: "Your Majesty has ordered death for this task, there is no room for change. "

Boqi was not surprised by this result, so he could only rub his brows, and continued to have a headache on how to complete these tasks as soon as possible.
