Chapter 161 Caitou Village
When it comes to people occupying territory, Rosalía is unhappy and brandishes her sword to express her displeasure.
Caitou Village seems to be a bit urbanized.
"It's time to teach them the rules. You go there first, but don't act rashly. Wait for my troops to arrive before making the next move."
"Well, actually I can handle it by myself, but you have the final say."
Field wasn't afraid that she wouldn't be able to defeat him, but he was worried that if Rosaria was left to her own devices, she would treat the villagers like desserts and kill them all.
That night, Field ordered all the demi-human cavalry in the territory, took two carriages, filled with infantry, and ten spare horses, and set off that night.
With his younger brother's "aid", the territory's war horses can even allow all soldiers to mount their horses.
Unfortunately, there are only a few people who can ride a horse.
The next night, they arrived at the ruins far away from Caitou Village. After resting for a night, Field led his army and slowly marched towards Caitou Village.
Passing through a sparse forest filled with corrupted vines, Field saw Caitou Village on the small map. Caitou Village is also one of the villages directly under the jurisdiction of Night Territory. It once planted beetroots for the Xingye family. It is not far from Bull Territory.
Looking through the artifact telescope, Field can not only gain far-sightedness but also see through the gray fog due to the characteristics of the "Eye of the Mist".
Like other villages in the gray fog, Beet Village has been in ruins, leaving only mottled ruins. The difference is that ugly shacks have been built in the village. Almost all shacks are built on the remains of houses. The holes in the outer walls were filled with scrap wood and stones.
Soon, seven or eight young people, carrying large and small bags and holding a small fog-repelling lamp, ran back to Caitou Village in panic, with a group of rotting corpses chasing behind them.
Two guys with spears at the entrance of the village stood on the low wall and kept yelling at them, refusing to let them enter the village. It was only after the young people painfully threw the packages in first and allowed the guards to take away 90% of the harvest that they were put in while wiping their tears.
After a while, smoke began to rise from the territory.
The villagers holding spears stood down from above and stabbed the carrion below.
"It's great that we can actually establish a basic system. There must be something we need."
Field's eyes lit up. The illiterate farmers would definitely not be able to hold on for that long. Moreover, judging from the amount of cooking smoke in the territory, the food was rich.
"The infantry wears armor, holds up a shield wall, and advances slowly, while the cavalry sets its wings to maneuver at any time."
After fighting in a war, Field became familiar with basic battle formation command.
"Oh my God! It's a knight!"
"What to do? We are dead."
"Mom, mom, oooooo~"
The night leader's army just showed up outside Beet Village, and immediately caused a burst of howling ghosts and wolves. The entire Beet Village was like a hornet's nest, which was immediately exploded by boiling water.
"Dang Dang Dang~"
As the alarm bell sounded, the entire territory was full of figures running, not to defend, but to flee in panic. The men were so anxious that they accidentally knocked over the shack or knocked over other people. The women cried loudly, or fell to the ground in confusion holding their packages.
"Meow meow, I'm not a bandit."
The villagers looked like they had seen a ghost, and felt more frightened than seeing the rotting corpses.
Field gently pulled the reins to stop the war horse that was running faster and faster. The war horse underneath him obviously had the blood of warlike monsters flowing through it. Hearing the helpless cries of the villagers, he was already excitedly preparing to sprint.
"We are obviously an army of justice." Field frowned and turned to look at his own army. Everyone's eyes were glowing red and they were grinning with greedy and ferocious expressions. The cavalry were already swinging the lasso or loading the light crossbow. , Field slapped his forehead, "I almost forgot, they are used to robbing, and they really don't look like good people."
"Sir, let us disperse into rangers and shoot the guards on the city wall first." Silver Claw punched his chest with a stern look, "Make sure that no creature taller than you appears in your line of sight."
They haven't learned how to ride and shoot yet, but they can also shoot a wave with a crossbow, but it's just not as easy to control as a bow.
"No need for now, let the cavalry remain on alert."
Field ordered the infantry to advance to a distance of fifty meters outside the village, and he led six cavalrymen to shout from a distance.
"I am the Baron of the Night Territory, and you have invaded my territory. Give me an explanation immediately, give up resistance, and submit to me."
As soon as these words came out, Caitou Village immediately caused a commotion.
"Isn't it Baron Mountain Monkey's army?"
"It's all the same. If the nobles want to kill us, why should they ask you for your address?" The old villager cried sadly.
"What should we do? We must not surrender."
Caitou Village calmed down after a period of chaos. Field waited patiently for a while, but no one answered, and his patience disappeared little by little.
Just as he was about to launch an attack, the wooden door blocking the road in Caitou Village was moved away by the villagers. Twelve or three villagers walked out, dressed in rags and carrying simple weapons. They were all sharpened wooden sticks or rusty iron tools.
"Oh? With such a weak fighting force, not only did they not surrender, they actually dared to come out of the village to fight."
The villagers tried their best to put on a fierce expression, and after forming a formation at the entrance of the village, they stopped moving forward.
"Qiang~"
The demi-human cavalry all drew out their cavalry swords, and the shining swords emitted a cold light. Silver Claw led the cavalry in a small jog, ready to rush forward at any time, chop off the heads of the villagers in front of them, and pile them into the capital. Be a warning to others.
"No! Please don't be impulsive."
Two men and one woman came out from behind the villagers, pushing their hands in the air, and trying to calm the rumbling of horse hooves with trembling voices. When they saw the well-equipped army and the wandering cavalry, they all felt their bladders relax. They didn't dare to act rashly, nor did they dare to fight in the village. The earthen wall of less than two meters could not protect anything.
Field held the reins in one hand and the lance in the other, looking at the group in front of him with interest.
Originally, he thought that other nobles came here to open up, but they were all villagers dressed as refugees, and only the three in front of him were dressed like human beings.
However, he admired the courage of the villagers to go out of the city to fight, and it must be good to recruit them as soldiers.
"Who of you can explain to me? I am a kind person, as long as you obey my orders." Field glanced at the faces of the three people.
They looked at each other for a long time, and finally the strongest man stepped forward, lowered his head as much as possible, and said with an ugly smile: "Sir, we didn't know that the Night Territory had a master."
"Well, now you know it, put down your weapons, and then surrender to me."
"Ah? This..."
Speaking of surrender, the man lowered his head and looked at his shoes awkwardly.
These shoes are really too shoes.
