Medieval Empire Soldier Chapter 80

   Chapter 80 Eighty · Heather Land Offensive · On (No Subscription)

After signing the trade agreement, the wood elves originally sent the army to recapture the heathland, and chose to temporarily station in Oak Village. Choose a site and build an Eslay-style outpost using on-site materials from the Oak Village Lumberyard.

   It is expected that the outpost will be stationed with thirty Wood Elf warriors, including woodland scouts, Eternal Guards, giant stag riders, and a Wanderer who will act as an ambassador.

The rest of the time was spent dealing with government affairs and patrolling the woodlands. Lallen often personally trained the halberdiers of the barracks. He invested more than 400 imperial gold coins for it, and the military maintenance cost of the territory doubled. Continuous training , Lailun has accumulated more and more experience points. At this moment, the kingdom knight level is close to [LV10], and the territory is continuously developing and expanding.

   The special entourage of stablemate Jean Mark played his due role, and at the end of May, the first Pegasus was born.

The newly born foal caused a stir among the attendants of the entire stable. The blood-stained Pegasus foal fluttered its short wings, exuding a breath far more noble than ordinary horses. The keeper Jean Mark was the first time Find Lallen.

The horse breeder from the Duchy of Palaon, a former knight kingdom, almost bit his tongue because of his extreme excitement. Laren knew the importance of the birth of a Pegasus, and ordered the news to be blocked on the spot. The foal was escorted to Xinxiu's stable on the hills west of the village.

The new stables built on the hills and cliffs are also suggested by the horsemen. In the Principality of Palaon in the Kingdom of Brittany, countless Pegasus bred in the stables on the plains, their wings will degrade with the passage of time and gradually become shorter, Until I can no longer bear the weight of my body and stay on the ground forever.

   Only a Pegasus born on a cliff can avoid this.

When the knight of the kingdom saw this flying horse foal, the foal did not show much hostility towards him, but naturally approached Laren, rubbed the corner of his clothes, and seemed very intimate, and all the horse breeders widened their eyes. , for the first time they met Pegasus, who was close to people.

  Lyren named it "Uranus", which means "sky" in Elvish.

  The time has come to the beginning of June, the season of sparkling gold, stepping into the clear sky of summer, and the hot sun scorching the earth.

  In the Barracks of Oak Village, a ready army has been assembled.

   To help the wood elves in the war to retake the heather, the army sent by Raelen consisted of four knights, forty halberdiers, and thirty crossbowmen.

  For fighting in woodlands, wood elves are natural scouts, unmatched in concealment, reconnaissance, etc. Rangers are inconvenient in the forest terrain.

  Although the number of soldiers was relatively small, Lailen prepared five pack wagons to load logistical supplies, and a simple fortification could be erected on the wagons when necessary, and a dozen farmers were recruited as military personnel.

Laylen is wearing a finely crafted rune plate armor, holding a Helam warhammer, with a battle blade on his waist, and a kingdom knight emblem shining in the sun on his chest, wrapped in a layer of gilt, symbolizing his status as a knight of the glorious kingdom. On the warhorse, he shouted to the sergeants under his command: "Are you ready? My soldiers!"

   "My lord! We're ready!" After nearly two months of trimming and training, the halberdiers were lined up neatly. They shook the halberds in their hands and responded to the call of the kingdom knights.

After the tailoring of the Oak Village army, the proportion of the reserved spear and shield soldiers has been greatly reduced, and more people have been incorporated into the halberd battalion. Most of them are veterans who participated in two battles, and more baptism of blood and fire , they will be more elite.

The low-level woodland lord Olasif Piazza stopped not far away on an elf horse. There were several patterns and green leaf decorations on the edges of the fish scale armor on his body. The longbow, his main weapon, the elven spear, was shattered by Layren, and he was defeated in a duel in front of the Queen's Handmaiden, making him ashamed and refusing to appear with Laylen.

The army of    Wood Elves followed behind him, standing aside, twenty Eternal Guards, sixty Woodland Scouts clasping the elven longbows, they were wrapped in cloaks and masks, covering their expressions and adding a lot of mystery.

   But what is certain is that their attention has been on Sergeant Lallen.

Katarina rode a stag. She was dressed in a smart dress, simply wearing a dark green cloak, a short-handled obsidian dagger and a green-leafed longsword. The dwarf rune craftsman Langone Stonehelm reforged the broken sword for her, and the magic contained in it. Power is different.

   She looked at the eyes of the sorceress Rosamina von Julevno next to Laylen, a little cold and a little hostile.

The    sorceress also noticed the wood elves looking at her. She glanced back and smiled politely. One person and one elves turned their heads almost at the same time and snorted coldly.

   Katarina pulled the reins, approached Lallen and said, "Are you sure you only need to bring so few troops? Also, where is your earl's army?"

  The number of troops brought by the knights of the kingdom is not as good as that of the wood elves, and it is of little use to capture the heathland. In addition, the reinforcements promised by the Earl of Draven have not yet been found, which makes the elves feel that they have been deceived again.

"I believe in the strength of the sergeants. Their courage and combat effectiveness are not inferior to those of the wood elves." Laylen did not wear a kite helmet, and holding the reins in one hand, he said to the female elves, "Count Draven arranged for another A kingdom knight, Nikas Francis, led the team with about 160 people. Don't forget that we agreed in advance. The command of the human army is in my hands. 'Safety."

".Then that's it." Katarina frowned. The nature of the wood elves determined that they did not care about the process and command. Eslai was different from their cousins, the high elves. The former did whatever they wanted, while the latter fought for power Seize power.

   She glanced at Rosamina a few more times, and asked in a questioning tone: "Why bring that sorceress? She will only drag down the whole battle. I would rather go with a group of short stacks than go with her."

"Rosamina's attack spells can relieve us a lot of pressure, and Mage Agil has an extremely keen insight into special items, she will find more useful things." Laylen said disapprovingly, dealing with one person and one elf The inexplicable contradiction seems quite tricky: "This battle can just exercise her spellcasting ability. As a member of the wood elves reinforcements, there is nothing wrong with it."

The commander of the Long Halberd Battalion, Gavin Creighton, rode a steed, and the plate armor on his body flashed brightly. He had just finished inspecting the logistical supplies and was about to report to the Kingdom Knights. There were also four under Lallen's command. Ranger knight: "My lord, the carriage is ready, the crossbow bolts and other military consumption have been transported, and you can leave at any time."

   "Very good." Lallen nodded.

   He glanced at the dissatisfied Wood Elf, then raised the warhammer in his hand, and said loudly, "Let's go!"

"Oh oh oh oh!"

  The gates of the village and town opened, and with the cheers of the crowd, the Wood Elf army and the Oak Village army left the town and went to the Sharon Forest area near the outer periphery of the Dracowald Forest, where the Wood Elf heather is.

  Leaving Oak Village on the second day, through the mounds, river valleys and fields, large groups of human troops are shuttled through the woods.

  The sunlight in early summer was blocked by the dense foliage overhead, and the light sporadically shone through the thick foliage, barely illuminating the surroundings, preventing the army from getting lost in the woodland.

The wood elf low-level woodland lord Olasif Piazza instructed the woodland scouts to scout the movement. They shuttled through the canopy of the trees. Their vigorous figures moved quickly in the woods, as if they were walking on the ground. The human soldiers watched with admiration. The wood elves continued to march along the wilderness trail one step at a time, marching towards the target.

  The huge temperature difference in the woodlands traps the heat under the leaves, and every breath of heat is particularly dull.

  The ranger knights are wearing heavy armor, walking through the woods is a very painful procedure, and the physical energy consumption is faster, but they have to be vigilant to prevent them from falling into an ambush, and they are all miserable.

The forest is the main battlefield for wood elves, goblin orcs, and beastmen. Humans and dwarves prefer to fight in the plains and wilderness with a wide field of vision. The latter does not have the perverted perception of the former, except for a small number of amber mages and Drew of the **** of nature Taal. Pastor Yi can adapt.

At the front of the line, the heavenly mage Rosamina von Giulevno, who followed behind the kingdom knight, enjoyed the journey. She was covered in a light blue film, and the temperature had almost no effect on the sorceress, which allowed her to travel freely between the woodlands. unhindered.

   Rosamina had a few birds attached to her left shoulder, chattering non-stop, and the sorceress smiled and fed a few grains of wheat from time to time, looking very intimate.

  The kingdom knight Nikas Francis, who was walking side by side with Laylen, felt very strange. He approached the bird and asked cautiously, "Beautiful Ms. Julevno, do you understand the language of birds?"

"Of course, being able to communicate with animals is not the unique skill of Amber Mage." Rosa Mina smiled kindly, and teased the birds on her shoulders with her long fingers: "The special magic 'bird language' of Aegir's Wind makes casting spells in a short time. The person can communicate with all birds, including eagles, griffins, and pegasus, and see the meaning of every movement of them, but it is limited to these."

"Can I discuss with them directly and act as our scouts? The price is good. No matter how many grains of grain these birds want, I'm willing to give them!" Nicas Francis's eyes glowed, and he reached out and touched one of them. Bird, the little guy shrugged his head to avoid the caress, and his sharp beak kept pecking at the iron glove of the kingdom knight.

"Hehe~ Mr. Nikas, you are so interesting." Rosamina said with a smile: "Not all birds are as wise as griffins and eagles, they can only communicate with each other which place is dangerous and where is it? The lair is abandoned."

  Nicas Francis smiled awkwardly, feeling the mysterious power of magic.

"Ms. Rosamina, did they say something to you?" Laylen at the front of the team suddenly asked. The blade of battle in his hand split the thorns and vines in front of the kingdom knight. After walking for several hours, his spirit was still there. Full, the recovery speed of physical strength is much faster than the consumption speed.

   "The larks said that their large nest not far from the forest in front of them was abandoned, and because of natural enemies, they were forced to migrate out of the forest to find new nests." Rosamina was concentrating on communicating with the birds, and the sound of chattering was incessant.

   "What else did they say?" Lallen asked curiously.

"It's very complicated. The lark seems to be warning us." The sorceress frowned and carefully discerned useful information from the bird's voice. After more than ten seconds, Rosa Mina said hesitantly: "They said that the forest ahead There is a monster that can crawl on tree trunks and the ground, it is very dangerous"

The female elf who followed Laren looked back at her, and said softly to the kingdom knight: "It is very likely that we have detected the forest goblins. They gather in the Valley of Thousand Eyes in the south of Lauren Loren Forest. A surprising number of venomous spiders, adept at preying on wild animals and human loggers who stray into spider dens."

   "Another vicious creature that lives in the forest."

Lailun narrowed his eyes, the forest was so silent that it seemed eerie, only the sound of human footsteps sounded in his ears: "There has always been a rumor outside the forest that many human villages close to the forest were killed overnight by house-sized spiders. Destroy, are these related to forest goblins?"

"Aracrina giant spider, a terrifying predatory creature that feeds on fear and blood." Katarina replied immediately: "It is a cunning and dangerous creature, an aracrina giant spider a few years ago. During the winter, we attacked the Lorraine area of ​​the Lauren-Loren Forest, and we paid more than two dozen brave Eslays to shoot out only a few compound eyes of that terrifying monster."

   "Fortunately, that year, the Twilight sisters from Athel Loren Forest, Nestra and Alohan came to their aid and relied on the power of the adult forest dragon Cexinhal to repel the Aracrina giant spider."

  Lyren sighed and said, "This is really unfortunate news. I hope the forest goblins in the heather don't have such big guys."

"Don't worry, the number of giant spiders is almost as rare as that of giant dragons. Only a super-large-scale forest goblin can have a giant spider." Katarina chuckled disapprovingly: "If you meet them in the wild, I advise you to pray to the gods that it is not starving."

   "Looks like I need to pray for Sigma's blessing."

The    march was approaching evening, and the men and wood elves camped beside a stream that ran through the forest, and after a hard day's march they had traveled nearly thirty miles.

  The forest terrain greatly affects the movement speed of human beings, especially the heavy armored knights, all sweaty, soaking their inner linings, with the help of the servants to take off the **** armor and stick to the sweaty clothes.

In the middle of the camp, in a camping tent that had just been set up, Lallen, Nikas Francis, Katarina, the grey-clothed maid, Olasif, the woodland lord, and Rosamina, the sorceress, circled around the long table. There were also several human and wood elf adjutants standing by, obeying the battle arrangements.

Wood elf woodland lord Olasif had exaggerated patterns on his chest and arms, and he said in lame imperial language: "The woodland scouts sent to report, most of the enemies gathered around the heather are forest goblins and The Orc Savage Orcs, of which there are more than 140 Savage Orcs, and the scouts have also found dozens of Orc gangsters, plus the spiderlings and forest spider riders wandering in the forest, the total number of our enemies will exceed 700. ."

   The deep voice in the tent ended, and the camping tent was silent. Olasif kept his provocative gaze fixed on Layen, wanting to see a trace of fear on his face.

   But the male wood elf's idea was in vain, and Lailun didn't look at him the whole time.

  The Kingdom Knight frowned, focusing on the sheepskin map on the long table.

   Ask for tickets and subscriptions!

  It is said that the green-skinned orcs are watching a play, so let's replace the hammer with the orcs. Anyway, the prototype is also a drunkard.
