Chapter 103 Overwhelming Self-Confidence
There is such a kind of people in this world, they are of noble birth and extraordinary bearing. No need for experience, you can fight freely, and the powerful enemy will be wiped out in ashes while talking and laughing. Without actual combat, you can be proud of the world and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away. They have extremely strong self-confidence and a stronger heart. All they need is a chance..."Hmph, I thought that this time, I would have a chance to show my skills and lead troops to kill the enemy when I came to the world-famous Zichen Legion. But it turned out to be a complete bystander. It's disgusting. !” A well-dressed, noble young man said angrily while holding the reins of the horse.
"That's right, and after attacking for so long, even a group of mobs can't take it down!" Another young man waved his arm and exaggeratedly said, "I really suspect that after staying here for a long time, I have lost confidence in the future of the empire."
"Haha, that makes sense. Tsk tsk, reputation is really unreliable. The famous generals of the three major armies are nothing more than mediocre. If I were to lead the troops, I only need a little trick to wipe out the gray clothes. military!"
"..."
This is next to the valley where the three major legions fought against the gray army. As for this group of young people who are discussing high-end vocabulary such as tactics and strategy, they are excellent students of Bran's First Military Academy. They are not in a good mood at the moment. They have been out to visit and study for so long, but they are busy running around. After finally waiting for the decisive battle, he found himself excluded and could only be led by a group of soldiers all day long, watching from a place tens of kilometers away from the battlefield. Displeased... Of course, there are far more displeased people here than them, and that is the group of soldiers in charge of defense.
Huh... a young soldier heard the group of noble youths talk about how trash the legion is, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, turned around, and snapped, an old soldier grabbed his shoulder: "Forget it, don't pay attention to them! "
"But they say the general..."
"General? Ha ha." The veteran smiled and shook his head, "I'm afraid they would dare to say anything except for the Marshal..."
"Marshal Zi Yi didn't know what he was thinking, but he sent such a general out. Isn't this ruining the undefeated reputation of the Legion?" A voice came from behind.
"Okay..." The old soldier opened his mouth, then smiled wryly, "Take it as if I didn't finish what I said just now."
The young soldier curled his lips: "I think the general treats them too well, why don't we just send them to the battlefield. I want to see how they crush the mob army!"
"Uh, this can't be done." The veteran waved his hand quickly, "A hair of these people is worth more than our lives. Did you see the one who spoke? That's the second son of the prime minister of the empire. And that, that's The administrator's child... If something goes wrong with these people, it will be a big event!"
After a pause, the veteran continued: "They have been arguing about going to war. The general must have had a headache, so he threw them here. Let's just pretend that we didn't see or hear anything, and just walk around with them." It's... well, it's the end."
The team stopped, and a man who seemed to be the captain walked to the back and bowed to talk to those noble youths. Soon, the back was boiling.
"Uh, what's the matter?" the young soldier turned his head and asked.
The veteran said helplessly: "I think it's too far away, it's not exciting enough to watch."
Behind them, those noble youths said indignantly: "This place is dozens of kilometers away from the battlefield, and no one can see it. How can we visit and study?"
"But this is the safe distance set by the general..."
These aristocratic youths are so prominent, the security work is naturally not sloppy. It is reasonable to say that it is impossible for the gray army to come here, but Ralph still carefully set up some monitoring. Of course, now is the time to kill the soldiers of the Gray Army, and naturally too many people will not be transferred to do this, so the scope of deployment and control is also limited.
"I don't care, we have to go a little further. I'm wondering, what are you afraid of? The battlefield is open, and we are so far away from the gray army. Even if we are found, we will have plenty of time to retreat!"
"That's right, you are clearly making things difficult for us. My father was brought to justice by the emperor. Be careful and I will sue you!"
"Get out of the way, you little soldier dares to stop me!"
...Whether threatening or unreasonable, the poor captain was dizzy from these voices, and in the end he had no choice but to agree to their request. This is not being forced, but it is really impossible for the gray army to appear here.
The team advanced again, aiming at the outer reaches of these mountains, the edge of the clearing in the valley. In fact, according to the meaning of the noble youth, he wanted to advance another dozen kilometers into the valley, until he reached the edge of the battlefield, but the captain would naturally not agree to this request.
"Hey, did you hear anything?" The young soldier looked around and asked.
"Sound? What sound?" The veteran asked in surprise.
"It seems to be the sound of wind... or the sound of arrows piercing through the air..." the young soldier said uncertainly.
"Let's talk about the wind, how could there be the sound of arrows coming from this place so far away from the battlefield."
"oh……"
Not long after, the team was approaching the destination. A young nobleman looked at the front with regret: "It's a pity, we can't move forward. These cowards, what are the gray-clothed soldiers to be afraid of!"
"Yeah, if we go straight in, maybe we can make a surprise attack and hit the opponent's headquarters."
"Haha, this is too exaggerated. I just hope that there will be a scattered gray army, let me show it..."
"kill!"
Uh... the noble youth looked up, and saw a large group of beggar-like figures in ragged clothes, holding weapons covered in mud and killing them from the hill.
"This... is it really here?"
"Set up the formation! Set up the formation!" The captain was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the crowd, and quickly shouted to make the soldiers face the hill to form a defensive formation for the second half of the moon. At the same time, he turned around and yelled at the noble student, "Go! Go!"
These noble youths are riding horses, as long as they turn their horses now. Coupled with these soldiers delaying for a while, they can definitely run far away. But, "What are you panicking!" Those noble youths were shocked at first, and then they saw clearly the rushing crowd and said, "It's just a hundred or so stragglers, I order you to destroy them on the spot!"
Finally met the gray army, finally had the opportunity to show their talents. leave? Are you kidding me... Those noble youths jumped off their horses, drew their weapons and stood behind the soldiers.
"Oh, you..." The captain was anxious.
"Soldier, pay attention to your eyes. Carelessness on the battlefield will cost you your life!" A young nobleman taught solemnly.
"..." The captain opened his mouth, completely speechless.
Needless to say, this group of beggar-like people were naturally the desperate Tang En and the others.
Seeing the opponent the moment they kill them, they set up a standard defensive formation. Tang En's heart sank, who are these people... The hill is low, and it took less than ten minutes to go up the mountain, and the descent was even faster. Looking at the soldiers in front of him, Tang En quickly put away his distracting thoughts. No matter who they are, now they are killing one and earning one!
Tang En was the first to rush down, and his speed was also the fastest, so he swung his saber and crashed into the formation first.
Ding, ding, ding... not good! Tang En secretly cried out. Although he is not good at using swords, he pays attention to stability, accuracy and ruthlessness in attacking, which is interlinked. The dozens of saber lights he swung in an instant were actually received by these soldiers in a distinct manner.
They're not ordinary soldiers... Tang En's judgment is correct. Although there are only seventy or eighty soldiers here, they are all elites of the Zichen Legion.
Bang, bang, bang... Frey and the others who came after them also directly bumped into each other, and the two sides fought fiercely at the foot of the mountain.
He sideways avoided the long spear that was stabbing at the chest, grabbed it, and with a pull, a soldier was staggered out of the formation. But before Tang En could make a ruthless attack, three spears were swiftly stabbed at his vitals.
Clang, clang... The saber slashed against the spear in the wind, and Tang En floated back. Then I looked around, er, the situation is not optimistic. The members of the gray space and Frey's subordinates can barely hold on now. But those mine soldiers were obviously a few grades behind, and they were cut down to the ground from time to time.
This is certainly due to the fact that the people here are too tired, but it is also an indisputable fact that the opponent's combat effectiveness is high.
"Zichen Legion!" Frey shouted suddenly, trying to break out his fighting spirit, and swept away the soldiers in front of him.
He is a veteran of the battlefield, and he felt a bit familiar when he saw the opponent's armor logo just now, but because he hadn't touched him for a long time, he didn't realize it until now.
Nima, why don't you be so bad... Of course Tang En has heard of the name of the strongest army in the empire. But in this case, it is inevitable to be depressing.
"Haha, mob, is this the fighting power of the gray-clothed army?"
"It's really disappointing. It seems that we don't need to do it!"
Huh? Tang En followed the voice and saw a dozen or so gorgeously dressed youths behind the heavily armed soldiers.
It's strange, whether this formation is to defend us... or to protect these people... Before thinking about it, Tang En said decisively: "Frey, concentrate your forces to force it!"
"Okay!" Frey was caught in the crowd, although he didn't know the meaning of Tang En's move. However, he still obeyed the instructions, and quickly organized Teton, David and other people with fighting spirit to form arrows and penetrate directly into the hinterland of the half-moon formation.
"Stop them!" The captain saw the vindictive light shining here, and then called out to the soldiers for support.
"Haha, here we come!" Tang En threw out the saber with a flick of his hand, knocking a soldier into the air. Then his figure flashed, and he got in through the gap created by manpower scheduling.
The soldiers around were shocked, and the swords and guns quickly attacked. But at this time, Tang En's figure was like a fish in water, dodging in the middle of the crowd, and darting in the west, looking very aggressive. Those soldiers were afraid of hurting their companions, so they kept some strength, so naturally they couldn't catch Tang En.
Although his whereabouts were scattered, Tang En certainly had a purpose. The outbreak on Frey's side won't last long, he must form a breakthrough immediately.
There are only seventy or eighty people, how many layers of defense can there be? After activating the ghost skill, Tang En flashed to the back of the line of defense.
"Scattered flowers, break them for me!"
The blood and flowers are enchanting, and the blade is sharp.
The dozen or so soldiers on the last line of defense were all blown away, and then Tang En rushed out covered in blood with a dagger in his hand, and went straight to those noble youths.
The blood on his body included the enemy's and his own. In this state, if you want to break through quickly, you can't do it without paying a price.
"Good job!" Seeing Tang En approaching, a young nobleman shouted joyously, stepped forward, and swung his slender and thin sword repeatedly.
Hiss, hiss, hiss...Under the white light, the shadows of the sword layer upon layer in the air, finally forming an elegant and dreamlike lotus flower, which is extremely beautiful!
Of course, beautiful things are often fragile too!
When Tang En saw the lotus flower enveloping him, his long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and then he slammed into it without avoiding it.
"Ha, this stupid, stupid, stupid..."
Ding! boom!
The slender and thin sword flew, and the dreamy lotus was directly blown up in the air.
Then a figure took a few steps in the air like an illusion, passed through the scattered sword light, and arrived in front of the stunned noble youth.
"Swordsmanship is good...but you use it too badly!"
