Chapter 71 Yellow Bird
The elven lord also rode a horse, but unlike Lupo, he only had two white horses, one for him and one for the elven archer who was traveling with him.
The elven lord rode his horse slowly to Lupo, flirting with the elven female archer beside him as he walked. As for his original hero, he was just a chicken walking on the ground, leading the elven troops of his own territory, 220 mixed elven infantry with swords and bows.
"Get out of the way, or fight."
Perhaps both sides still had a little sense of morality in their hearts, the elven lord did not order the elven archers to open fire and snipe Lupo in advance, and Lupo did not string his own crossbows to hit this arrogant guy.
The territory army that lost the lord would not withdraw directly, and would still be led by the highest-ranking person on the battlefield to continue fighting, and the lord... After the lord was killed, he could only float in the sky and watch.
"Tsk, don't yell, I got here first, don't you understand the principle of first come first served?"
Lupo snorted, are elves so great? Everyone doesn't have strong magic talent now, it's still pure flesh and blood collision, he has seen low-level fireballs before, it's just taking away a soldier, if it's a shield and armored soldier, he has to give a discount.
Why are you pretending to be a big shot with him.
With a set of armor and a crossbow, a slightly stronger physique doesn't even have much ability to resist the gun array.
No matter how strong the physique is, it's not made of stone, a crossbow arrow directly hits the flesh and penetrates it.
All his thousand people are well-trained troops. If the attitude of this elf lord is better, maybe Lupo can reluctantly accept the plan to share the treasure with him. He doesn't want to lose both sides on the first day of entering. If he wins, he will suffer heavy losses, and if he loses, he will directly withdraw and suffer even more heavy losses.
They have been here for so long, almost reaching the edge of the swamp, and have not seen any abnormal reaction in the swamp. Maybe this swamp is just an ordinary swamp?
After killing the other party, even if there are monsters in the swamp, they can easily deal with it. At least they think so now...
The Elf Lord saw a trace of greed flashing in the half-sunken carriage. The half-elf blood strengthened his vision. He saw the treasures in the carriage from a distance. And the female archer beside him seemed to have taken his greed for granted.
On one side is a thousand-man human infantry mixed regiment, and on the other side is a four-hundred-man elven infantry mixed regiment.
It's a tit-for-tat.
In front of the interests of this resource point.
Neither side can simply give up.
And Ji Lin, who was hiding in the bushes in the distance and secretly observing them, was extremely happy.
His original plan was to observe the combat effectiveness of this human infantry regiment and let them deal with the corrupted magic crabs in the swamp first. If they can't beat the magic crabs, he will not be stingy to harvest them and the corrupted magic crabs together.
And he always felt that there was something wrong with this quagmire... The intervals between these corrupted magic crabs seemed to be surrounding something.
Seeing the number of people on both sides, he knew that these people had hired mercenaries. A normally developed lord should not have so many troops, unless he chose a military-civilian integration structure.
These mercenaries would regard this situation of not dying on the battlefield as a miracle, thinking that they were fighting like the warriors in the temple of Valkyrie. This is a two-way adaptation process. The natives only slightly know that there is a system of long-lasting civilization, but it is the various gods that are closer to their world.
Various gods that have long disappeared.
But their power system has continued for some reason.
The lords are adapting to these city-states, and these city-states are also testing the existence of the lords.
Some forces have tested the bottom line of the system, and finally caused the expulsion incident...
Mercenaries, good and bad.
The advantage is that you can get a large number of troops you need at a lower cost. It is always much faster to use ready-made things than to directly develop them step by step.
The downside is that when you find yourself needing to make the troops you need, there are no large numbers of mature soldiers that have been trained in your own territory. In the future, the population will no longer be so scarce, allowing each lord to maintain a standing army, and the cost of long-term employment is much higher than the standing army maintained by himself.
As for permanent employment... the cost is not as good as training by yourself.
The highest level of the city-state is level five. When the lords break through the fifth era, they find that there are no new high-level city-states for them to contact.
They really need to start exploring the future military path on their own.
According to the information collected by some lords, there were super city-states of level six, seven, and even eight... but now they have all disappeared.
Even one of the expeditionary tasks of the lords in the later civilization is to dig graves in their ruins.
Some particularly powerful blueprints can only be produced by digging graves.
The conversation between the two lords in the distance lasted less than three minutes, and they parted ways and returned to their own formations.
The two armies have deployed their respective formations and are ready to fight. They are arranged in square formations, and the edge of the battlefield can already reach the quagmire.
They plan to have a relatively "fair" battle.
In later generations, there is not so much communication in the exercise battlefield. They just fight when they catch someone. Only in this early exercise battlefield did both sides still maintain a sense of rules.
Ji Lin always felt that he was a little...too close to the battlefield, so he touched the hunting spider's head and pointed in the direction of the swamp, indicating that he should rush in as soon as he heard his whistle, and jump into the small hills, and jump more.
Then he pointed to the tense troops over there, indicating that it should rush over there after jumping, and come back after hearing his second whistle.
He was not sure whether this hunting spider could understand his instructions... It was already the smartest one among the hunting spiders. If it was not smart, Ji Lin would not choose to bring it out.
Not all hunting spiders have strong intelligence. Some are stupid and can only run behind other hunting spiders.
Then he began to crawl back slowly and bit by bit with the stealth experience he had learned before.
Spears and lances fell, flashing sharp cold light in the sun. The crossbowmen began to draw the strings for their crossbows, and the four heavy crossbows began to accumulate kinetic energy as the capstans turned. The attendant light cavalrymen on white horses lingered at the end of the team, waiting for the best opportunity to cut in.
When the war is determined, no matter how many words are meaningless.
No matter which side wins in the end, they will suffer heavy losses.
The fisherman is also ready to hook.
As for being ambushed, it was because they did not keep the good habit of scouting the surroundings.
He doesn't mind teaching these young lords a lesson.
