Chapter 183 Who is the noble?
The next day, Horn and others got up early, and it was still a cloudy day.
After his daily pranayama exercise, he stood on the mound and dried his face with a hot towel.
I squatted on the mound and ate breakfast while watching hundreds of educational subjects from the Holy Trinity Education Team digging hard into the ground.
These education targets are either officers among the mercenaries, accountants and clerks under the duke, or priests in the church.
Most of them were the accomplices of the Duke. Although they did not directly harm the villagers, they all played a role in fueling the chaos.
Guilty, but not entirely guilty.
To manage 25,000 people well, Horn must have his own talent system. He needs a large number of experienced people to help him cultivate new talents.
Horn hopes that within three months, these new army soldiers will be able to read simple military orders and write them simply, so that they can understand the strategic intentions accurately.
To complete the primary education of 4,000 new troops and 300 child troops, it is not enough to rely on Bonard and others alone. Horn needs more educated people.
Maybe they can't be directly used by Horn, but at least after education, they are still qualified as new soldiers and future teachers.
"Your Majesty."
Horn had just eaten a few mouthfuls of World of Warcraft meat bread when he saw Victor trotting towards him.
"How's it going?" Horn asked, looking at Victor, who was sweating slightly on his forehead, "Have all the scouts returned safely?"
"Your Majesty, all have returned safely. "Victor pointed at the exhausted scouts and said, "An officer from the Holy Trinity followed and drew a terrain map."
Victor handed Horn a topographical map.
Unfolding the topographic map, Horn took advantage of the skylight and took a closer look at it along with Victor's dictation.
According to topographic maps and scouts, unlike Beizawa with crisscrossed puddles and shallow water depths, Nanze is almost a large lake with a dam.
Qiumu Island is located in the middle of the lake, about 2 to 3 miles away from the shore. There used to be a long stone arch bridge more than a mile long.
Originally, there was a dam bridge about one mile connected to it, but due to the rising lake water and disrepair, it still dissipated, and the long flat stone arch bridge left by the El Empire became a broken bridge.
If you want to go to the island, you must first go to the barbarian kingdom near the arch bridge, and then take a boat to the island. There are countless hairy monsters on the island.
According to the preliminary observations of the scouts, the so-called barbarian kingdom basically lives on the shore near the stone arch bridge.
"Have all the two hundred command companies and twenty holy gunners of the expeditionary force arrived?" Horn stood up after swallowing the Warcraft meat buns in three mouthfuls.
“We’re all here, we just finished breakfast.”
“Let’s go.” Putting on his cloak, Horn slung Xue Zhiyun around his waist, “Let’s go take a look.”
………………
“Your Majesty, let’s go this way.”
Led by the lycanthrope Captain Hariba, Horn walked along the embankment long road for half a morning before finally finally Reach the swampy foothills area.
Assigning Paslik to dig swamp soil to extract peat, Horn led more than 200 soldiers towards the direction of the barbarian kingdom.
After walking on the mountain road for more than an hour, it was not until almost noon that Horn saw the first barbarian kingdom.
The cold wind in the mountains was blowing on people. Horn was riding a horse. In front of him was the beast-turned-barbarian village.
On the land crisscrossed by creeks and underground rivers, hidden among the reeds, twenty or thirty thatched houses and two or three wooden houses appeared in front of Horn.
Since he was standing on the hillside, Horn could clearly see the appearance of the lycanthropic barbarians below, which were almost the same as those of the Beizawa lycanthropes.
Except for the fact that their costumes were rough and barbaric, Horn really couldn't tell the difference between these so-called barbarians and the "nobles" of Beizawa from the appearance alone.
"Your Majesty, what do you say?"
"Tell them that we want to use the road to Qiumu Island. If you want to, let the road open. If you don't, the six divisions will move."
"Your Majesty, as soon as our scouts and envoys get close, they will Being attacked by them, there is no chance to speak."
"Create opportunities if there are no opportunities." Horn glanced at him, "You beat them to the ground, then you can ask them if they are willing. Are you there? ""Ah, I understand."
Soon, more than 200 Salvation Army soldiers appeared in the sight of the beast-turned-humans, including 150 breasts. Armored pikemen, 50 cavalry and 20 holy gunners.
Their opponents were more than two hundred barbarian beastmen.
Obviously these barbarians were somewhat prepared when they encountered the Salvation Army scouts this morning. When the Salvation Army appeared, they quickly took out weapons from their homes.
What surprised Horn was that the equipment of these barbarians was actually better than the so-called "nobles" like Carthage. Not only did seven or eight of them have leather armor, they even had iron axes and short swords.
Who is the noble?
He turned his head and glanced suspiciously at Hariba beside him. Hariba looked unnatural and looked up at the sky in embarrassment.
Seeing that the barbarians at the foot of the hillside were human beings, their morale was quite high. However, after seeing the cavalry on their war horses, they still had a look of fear in their eyes.
After all, they don’t have horses here, and war horses are rare monsters to them.
As for the Salvation Army wearing a black cloak in front of them, they did not take it seriously.
Even if it is an enemy twice as big as oneself, as a descendant of Nanze's pure-blooded lycanthrope nobles, he will never bow to the Northern Puppet.
When both sides could almost clearly see the outline of the opposite side, the lycanthrope barbarians immediately began to roar.
"Ulula!"
"For the Moon God!"
Seeing the charging lycanthrope barbarians, Horn just said lightly to the flag bearer beside him: "Blow the trumpet Let’s go.”
“Woooooo——”
The lycanthropic barbarians rushed towards the Salvation Army’s phalanx, even though the lycanthropes had better equipment. , but the level of this military formation is completely inferior to those civilized kingdoms in Beizawa.
"In the first and second rows, place your spears horizontally, and in the third row, place your spears diagonally."
Victor commanded loudly. Seeing the lycanthrope barbarians entering the fifty-yard range, he shouted again Shout: "Charge!"
The neat queue marched in neat steps, and the two rows of spears trembled and flew forward, hitting the scattered formation of the lycanthrope barbarians like a hammer.
The spear pierced into the leather armor that had almost no protection against fine iron, and blood shot out like a fountain. The crudely made iron axes of the lycanthropes only struck the Salvation Army's breastplate. Can leave a dent.
Almost at the same time, the cavalry led by Jeanne rushed over from the flank. The saber slashed across the necks of the lycanthropes, and the shining electric light instantly penetrated the lycanthropic formation.
In a few seconds, the lycanthropes in the front row and on the left fell down in rows like mowing grass, and blood and screams suddenly sounded in the valley.
The holy gunmen had already entered the pursuit phase before they even had time to fire their wind-up guns, so this vanguard battle ended less than ten minutes after it started.
More than 70% of the time was spent on the road.
"What, what, this..."
Even if he knew the power of the Paladins in advance, when he saw the extremely brave barbarians defeated in an instant, Hariba still couldn't help but Dare to believe your eyes.
It seems that the Pope was not able to use his full strength yesterday. What a pity.
Rudillo rode his horse to the bottom of the hillside and shouted to Hariba: "Who is that, coming out to wash the floor?"
"You are presumptuous, didn't you see that your Majesty is here? ?”
“I’m not saying this to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, a big victory, a big victory.”
Smiling and waving to Rudillo, he showed that he understood. En turned around and patted Hariba on the shoulder: "There are about a dozen villages from our place to the Broken Bridge. I hope that when I ride over here tomorrow morning, you will already be at the Broken Bridge."
After saying this, Horn looked at the sky and felt that the time was almost up, so he ran towards the capital of Carthage.
Paslik is preparing and investigating the peat matter over there. According to the time, the results should have been obtained.
