"Da da da~"
On the golden road.
The cavalrymen were running wildly as far as the eye could see.
After the Commander-in-Chief of the Holy Son at the border of Hasting Fortress heard that the Duke of Devon had lost contact.
The order was issued immediately.
Twenty thousand elite cavalry were urgently dispatched from around the Dukedom of Devon to investigate.
Order dispatch within one day.
The assembly began the next day.
March on the third day.
On the fourth day.
The vanguard of this 20,000 cavalry force has already appeared on the outskirts of the Dukedom of Devon.
There are not many forwards.
There were only two thousand knights.
The commander is Viscount Todd of the Wright Kingdom.
"Your Excellency."
"Ahead is the knight's manor of Lanes, a nobleman of the Duke of Devon."
"Send someone to take a look."
"Yes!"
Inside the knight's manor.
Several mercenaries were searching for supplies inside.
"Damn it, we're late, all the land here has been taken away."
"I really regret going hunting in the Canglang Forest. If we stay in the mercenary city, we can make a fortune."
"That bastard Downes actually made a fortune. I heard he quietly left here yesterday with two large carts of belongings."
"What, Downes, the blind cripple?"
"It's him, this bastard still owes me ten copper coins, and he won't pay it back to me even after he got rich."
"Oh my God, why do I have to be so diligent."
"Hey, there's a gold coin here, where is it, where is it?"
Several mercenaries squeezed over and saw golden light shining under the soil.
"Damn, this is mine."
"Mine, it's mine."
The mercenaries were generally poor.
For a gold coin, it is enough to draw a sword and kill each other.
Just when a few mercenaries raised their weapons.
The sound of horse hoofbeats came.
"Hey, didn't Alpha's knights return to the mercenary city after they finished the robbery? Why are there still cavalry?"
"It's not like we're going to plunder farther away."
"Haha, I can't fall behind this time."
"Go together, go together."
The jubilant mercenaries ran out of the manor waving their weapons.
They ran into the cavalry of the Wright Kingdom head on.
"No, it's a noble!"
They turned and ran.
But how can the legs be as fast as a horse?
He was quickly knocked to the ground.
"The Knight's Manor has been looted."
"There are only these mercenaries."
"Take it back to His Excellency the Viscount."
"Yes!"
"Sir Todd."
"Only the mercenaries were found."
"No living persons were found in the Knight's Manor."
Todd looked into the distance for a moment, then looked at the mercenaries.
His body was in tatters, and the only valuables were his smelly leather armor and the dagger in his hand.
Fits the noble stereotype of mercenaries.
"I ask, you answer."
"If you make a mistake, you will die!"
Mercenaries naturally hate nobles, but they are also afraid of death.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Several people replied hurriedly.
"Who attacked the Knight's Manor?"
"Alpha's Knight."
"What time."
"Three days ago."
"How many people!"
"There are three thousand cavalry."
"There are mercenaries, yes, the mercenaries in the Mercenary City also helped them."
After Viscount Todd heard this, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"How many people are there in the Mercenary City?"
"I don't know, Alpha's people drove away all the mercenaries."
"No, but I heard that a large number of cavalry left."
Hearing this, Viscount Todd was slightly shocked.
"Where have you gone?"
"No, I don't know."
"We just came back from Canglang Forest, and we were thinking of finding some work."
"I didn't expect that everyone here is dead."
Viscount Todd snorted coldly after hearing this.
He still doesn't know what these mercenaries want to do.
"Kill!"
Several mercenaries raised their heads.
"Sir, you promised us."
"Don't kill us, we are still useful."
"Yes, many mercenaries left the city and hid. They robbed the wealth of the nobles. I know how to find them."
"Leave us alone, Your Excellency."
When Todd heard this, his thoughts moved.
"Do you know the locations of the other mercenaries?"
"I know, we all know."
"Come here, take them with you to search."
"After finding it, the mercenaries formed a death camp!"
"Yes!"
outside the city.
The location where Frosa's three thousand cavalry were hiding.
"Report."
"Your Excellency, the enemy has taken the bait."
"Several mercenaries were discovered by the cavalry from the Kingdom of Wright at the Knight's Manor in the north."
"They have been caught now and are leading them to the trap we set!"
The 15,000 cavalrymen in this surprise attack were all elite members of Alpha.
Naturally, we also understand that just defending the city will lead to defeat.
So Frosa's 3,000 cavalry were maneuvering outside the city.
After plundering the nobles, they began to lay traps.
The mercenaries who first spread the word about the mercenary city made a fortune.
It aroused the jealousy of the mercenaries abroad.
These greedy mercenaries will definitely search and plunder the manors everywhere.
Wait until the cavalry from the Kingdom of Wright appears.
These guys definitely got caught.
As a mercenary, he would definitely not just wait to die.
They will beg for mercy and find a way to survive.
He will inevitably betray his companions.
As everyone knows, the time of betrayal is the time of falling into a trap.
Now the positions left by the mercenaries are all Frosa's traps.
Once you step in, there is no coming back.
soon.
Todd's two thousand cavalry entered the Dukedom of Devon.
He was very cautious and sent 100 knights as scouts, and the warning range was wide.
At the same time, 200 knights were sent to follow the mercenaries.
Check to see if it's a trap.
But what they didn't know was that it started from the moment they entered the Dukedom of Devon.
I've already fallen into the trap.
All that awaits them is death.
"Your Majesty."
"Look, that's right there."
"Acanaro Market."
"The mercenaries who have made a fortune are all waiting here to leave."
"This market is close to the waterway, and at a fixed time, a fleet of ships will leave."
The knight looked in the direction of the mercenary.
I did see a lot of goods placed at the dock.
In the market, people were coming and going, and it was very lively.
"Hmph!"
"A lowly mercenary."
Then he rode back and told Todd the news.
“There is a pier!”
As a commander, he naturally knows the importance of this kind of place. If he controls this place, he can get a steady stream of supplies.
"Send the order!"
"Gather the knights and surround this place."
"All mercenaries, no one left, control this market."
"Yes!"
With the order given.
"Dong dong dong"
The ground shook.
The sound of galloping horses came.
Todd saw that people in the market began to become panicked.
"Idiot!"
“We are still waiting for the waterway to leave.”
He despised the marauding mercenaries.
But just as the knights arrived outside the market.
Something unexpected happened.
"Cum!"
In the market, the originally chaotic mercenaries suddenly rushed towards the fence of the market.
Lift the tarp over the cargo.
A series of shiny crossbows were revealed.
"Cum!"
"咻咻咻~"
The first round of crossbow arrows shot out like locusts.
"Dududu~"
The knights at the front had no time to react, and they were shot into sieves while only wearing chainmail.
"It's a trap."
"There's an ambush!"
Todd from behind yelled when he saw it.
"Retreat!"
The Bamboo War Horse ran back.
And just then.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a shaking sound from the ground.
"Knights of the Guard!"
"Roar!"
"Ping gun!"
"Crash!"
In the distance, a line of lances appeared.
"Charge!"
Accompanied by roars.
Three thousand guardsmen descended from the mountain like tigers and rushed into the formation of this vanguard cavalry.
The war ended quickly.
The Wright Kingdom cavalry was caught in an ambush and had no time to react.
He was knocked off his horse by a lance.
Then came the stampede of war horses.
Of these two thousand knights, only less than a hundred were left.
and all were taken prisoner.
Among them is Sir Todd.
"I am a noble."
"According to the laws of the nobility, you cannot kill me."
Todd shouted, holding his head high.
Frosa, with an ax on his shoulder, rode up to him.
"Okay."
"My noble noble lord."
"Then tell me how many of you are here."
"Twenty thousand!"
"Where did you come from? Who gave the order?"
"Assemble nearby, orders from the northern fortress."
At this time, Todd was very sensible and told all the information.
Now there is no need to hide anything.
"Let him go!"
Frossa waved his hand.
"You are a true knight. If I capture you on the battlefield, I will definitely kill you."
Todd said in a serious tone.
Frossa smiled.
"Of course!"
Tod rode off alone, and the remaining one hundred captured knights were all beheaded.
"Your Excellency."
"Why let him go?"
The attendant beside him asked in confusion.
"Of course I'll lay the second bait!"
"You wouldn't think that my goal is only this striker."
"Your Excellency, don't you think so!"
"But we only have three thousand people!"
Frossa smiled.
"So what if there are three thousand people."
"What's more, Iron Guard will also join."
"Command the legion to go to the ambush point according to the original plan."
"I'm going to eat a big fish this time."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"Viscount Todd, you run back alone."
"Two thousand knights were wiped out?"
Todd, who returned, was brought before the commander for questioning.
"Yes, His Excellency the Duke of Storr."
"I was ambushed, and the person who ambushed me was a real nobleman."
"I paid for the information and he let me go."
After Duke Storr heard this, he felt bad.
"This idiot."
But there was nothing he could do about Todd.
Because Todd’s family is very big and very powerful.
"Lord Stoll, I know it is my responsibility this time."
"I will be punished according to the laws of the kingdom."
"But I have an intel."
"Most of the invading Alpha Knights left."
"The ones who stay are probably three thousand people."
"If we can directly attack the mercenary city."
"Maybe we can take back the city."
"As long as we capture the mercenary city."
"Your Excellency, we are the greatest contributor."
Stoll gave the other party a contemptuous look.
"I know, go down."
He did not listen to the advice of a defeated general.
And he's a completely wiped out idiot.
I listened to him because I disliked him for not dying fast enough!
Stoll decided to move forward steadily.
Don't be tempted by anything.
The remaining 18,000 cavalry were divided into three formations.
Head towards the Mercenary City from three directions.
The three formations are only three kilometers apart.
And these three kilometers are their death distance.
"Stor's commander is in the center, with 10,000 troops."
"There are 4,000 cavalry on the left and right wings."
"My suggestion is that I lead the escort knights to attack the left wing."
"The mercenary army attacks the right wing and holds them back."
"As long as my attack goes smoothly, I can successfully disrupt their formation."
"Wait until there is a move in the middle."
"Three thousand men of the Iron Guard charged directly at the Chinese army."
"You are all magic crystal warriors, it is easy to break the formation."
"As long as the commander is killed, these cavalry will be defeated immediately."
Frosa suggested to the legendary Iron Guard commander beside him.
“Good advice.”
"But you are not strong enough, and mercenaries cannot be trusted."
"I will give you 500 Iron Guards."
"Leave another 1,000 to the right wing."
"To kill the general and seize the flag, it is enough for me to personally lead 500 iron guards."
After the negotiation between the two parties is completed.
The battle soon begins.
The left-wing cavalry of the Kingdom of Wright was the first to discover Frosa's cavalry.
The difference in number between the two sides was only five hundred.
But the combat effectiveness cannot be compared.
"Attack!"
Frosa did not hesitate and personally led the five hundred iron guards as the spearhead.
Three thousand cavalry followed closely behind.
Upon seeing this, the left-wing cavalry of the Wright Kingdom immediately raised their lances.
"For the King."
"Attack!"
The two cavalrymen collided head-on.
And soon, the cavalry of the Wright Kingdom found that their comrades around them fell one after another.
The commander of the left-wing cavalry was killed by the Iron Guards immediately.
The entire cavalry corps collapsed.
"Magic Crystal Warrior."
"They are all magic crystal warriors!"
Frightened sounds spread across the battlefield.
The soldiers who were still alive began to turn their horses and flee.
Frosa didn't expect the Iron Guard to be so powerful in combat.
Disperse the opponent in one round.
And at this time.
Duke Stor of the center army received news that the left wing army was under attack.
He was also prepared to order the enemy to be held back and send his own legions to outflank them.
As a result, the order has not been issued yet.
Then I heard the left cavalry collapse and disappear.
And immediately after.
Bad news also came from the right cavalry corps.
1,000 cavalry charged into the formation and easily killed the right-wing cavalry commander.
More than five thousand mercenaries followed swarmed forward.
Defeat the right wing army.
Now!
Both flanks were defeated, and the enemy's cavalry was moving towards his rear to outflank him.
Stoll was stunned when he heard the news.
He felt like the sky was falling.
"Damn it!"
"Todd, this bastard, didn't mean there were only three thousand cavalry."
"This troop strength has exceeded 10,000."
Although he rejected Todd's suggestion, he subconsciously used Todd's three thousand cavalry basis to judge the number of Alpha Legion.
Unexpectedly!
It's completely wrong.
At this time, he also realized why the enemy let Todd go.
Just want to mislead myself.
But I was stupid and fell into the trap.
"Retreat."
"Retreat!"
Stoll could only scream on the battlefield and tried to retreat with 10,000 cavalry.
But that's it.
The five hundred iron guards of the legendary commander appeared.
He tightened his grip on the spear and closed his mask.
"For Alpha!"
"Iron Guard!"
"Charge!"
Even if there were five hundred people, this moment made Stoll afraid.
"Stop them."
"Stop them."
Unfortunately it was all in vain.
The Iron Guard, which is full of magic crystal warriors, is too strong.
They were like a white line, and all the cavalry in front of them were rushed away.
The cavalryman who originally turned his horse around and tried to escape was stopped abruptly.
And at this time.
The victorious cavalry on both wings completed the outflank.
The left and right wings launched an attack together.
Stoll's cavalry formation collapsed instantly.
On the battlefield.
The elite cavalry of the Wright Kingdom abandoned their helmets and armor and fled.
Stoll even rushed out immediately with ten guards.
He escaped from the Dukedom of Devon like the wind.
It didn't take long.
News of the defeat spread throughout the Leyte Kingdom.
The whole country was shocked.
But that's not the scariest thing.
It didn't take long.
House Tully's fortress was breached.
A legion of 7,000 men turned southeast and entered the Great Plains.
All over the royal capital.
The originally panicked nobles turned into panic.
Within the royal capital, there were more and more calls for the fortress army to be dispatched south.
Even the king began to bear the pressure.
And at this moment.
The northern fortress group.
The commander-in-chief of the Holy Son also frowned.
Not because 20,000 cavalry were defeated.
But just now.
A message came.
A troop of three thousand Alpha Cavalry appeared behind the fortress.
Within two days, more than a dozen warehouses storing supplies were raided.
Robbed a large number of business groups.
"Good means."
“What a good idea!”
"Fang Yuan's move, if you attack me, you will save me!"
"But if you think that just because of this you want me to divide my troops, then you are looking down on the gods."
"Come here!"
"Ask the gods for instructions to send the newly formed Divine Grace Legion to join the battle!" "Destroy Alpha's invading legion!" (End of this chapter)
