Chapter 571 Close Combat (Part 2)

When the coalition's light cavalry arrived at the area where the encounter took place, they saw only a mess.

The attackers did not stay long after the raid. They packed up the spoils they could take away, and took the clothes and equipment of their dead colleagues and left the place quickly.

"We should buy some airships. We won't be attacked by these cavalry if we take the air route. This is the third transport team attacked this week."

The cavalry centurion who led the team spat, pulled the reins of the horse, and waved to the coalition's light cavalry standing behind him, asking them to clean up the battlefield quickly.

The Knights' light cavalry came and went like the wind, but they could only evacuate with a small amount of spoils after the looting. Too much spoils would make their horses leave deep enough depressions on the ground.

The coalition's elite cavalry could judge the quality of the other party's carrying according to the depth of the footprints, and make a decision whether to pursue them.

After the Knights’ cavalry were killed several times on the road by the allied cavalry because they brought too much loot, they learned to be smart. They further optimized their looting process and made a value list to take away the loot in the shortest time.

“Damn, we came too late. These bastards haven’t fought with us recently.”

The centurion looked at the other gray-clad light cavalry behind him who were carrying long-barreled large-caliber rifles. They raised their weapons and remained alert, but the raiders had obviously escaped without a trace in this short time.

The 12.7mm single-shot rifle was still within their recoil tolerance range, and the advantage of being able to be used against monster infantry also slightly made up for some of the defects caused by recoil.

The large-caliber rifle can also penetrate the armor of the construct at the weak point on the side.

In this small-scale battle of the cavalry, its advantage in being able to counter medium-sized units is undoubtedly revealed. The weapon that should have been overpowered found its favorite target in this era.

The heavily armored monster infantrymen accompanying the army could not withstand the concentrated fire of large-caliber rifles, which could easily penetrate their armor, and other horse cavalrymen fell to the ground after being shot.

Of course, this weapon is most popular with centaurs, which are large enough and do not have a natural exoskeleton for defense.

One shot, no matter where it hits, can directly make the centaurs lose their combat effectiveness.

This weapon is good, but the enemy does not want to fight with them. After the coalition light cavalry equipped a large number of this large-caliber single-shot rifles, the cavalry of the Knights had contact with them several times and were hit by large-caliber rapid rifles several times. Now they run faster than flying.

Zhou Quan is very annoyed now.

As one of the lords affiliated with the Holy See, he successfully attracted the attention of Yves because of his loud shouting under the bombardment that night.

She needs the knowledge in her mind to fight against the lords on the other side of the curtain, and the knowledge in Zhou Quan and other lords' minds also provides her with a lot of help... Even if the lords have never seen pigs run, they have eaten pork.

Even with the limitations of the system, this group of surrendered lords still revealed a lot about the war situation in the next era.

Even though... Zhou Quan doubted that his enemies were far from being dealt with by the tactics of the normal era.

When he thought he was about to reach the peak of his life, the lord of the Knights who came to surrender across the border arrived.

Zhou Quan only saw the holy warrior locked himself in the room for a whole day, and after coming out, he knocked on the door of the meeting hall where the group of special priests of the Holy See were.

After arriving, the high-ranking priests of the main force of the Holy See had been delaying the reinforcements that should have been given to her with various reasons, and at the same time, they let their own troops madly fight for territory in this world.

As long as they take root, it will not be so easy to drive them away.

The special priests were busy drawing lines and dividing the land. They knew that only by occupying the best territory and then offering this part of the land to the high-ranking priests who were connected to their own clothes could their status be further improved.

Merit is important, but it is more important to make yourself visible.

Everything else needs to give way to this important goal.

"Sorry, Miss Paladin, the capacity of the portal is limited...Aren't you in close contact with those natives? Why don't you use them first?"

A special priest said to her.

This is a naked humiliation. For a unit that symbolizes its purity, recruiting natives to exchange blood can be said to be a shame.

Even if they are all human beings...even if they are all the same human beings.

For a moment, Yves even felt that the bombardment of the shadows on the cloud was too early, and they should have hit the heads of these special envoys.

All the people in the remnants of the vanguard army that day saw the paladins with gloomy faces that could drip water.

She ordered to use these new lords to supplement her troops directly.

Zhou Quan didn't want to know what his boss wanted to do. Of course, he knew with his feet that gathering the remnants was not a very loyal thing in any civilization or country.

She seemed to think that the lords should get along better because of their similarities, so she assigned him to assist the Hound Sisters and the Templars to quickly recruit these Knights' defeated soldiers.

There is nothing wrong with this, but now it involves another problem.

This group of knights was beaten up by the coalition forces in the east with their numerical advantage, and they retreated strategically... Their emotions are now in an unstable state.

Now the knights of this group of knights looked at Zhou Quan, the Eastern Lord, as if he had killed their entire family.

Damn it, it wasn't me.

In this situation, Zhou Quan wanted to do ideological work for them, which was not easy, but difficult.

But his immediate boss was angry, so Zhou Quan didn't dare to go up and give her any suggestions. He could only pretend that he didn't see anything and continued to complete his work.

However, when he thought that it was not only him who was blown to pieces by the coalition forces, but the foreigners were even more seriously injured, Zhou Quan felt much better.
