chapter 565, chapter 566
Seeing the Swadian soldiers on the bridge, Conan was shocked and turned to ask Lyman: "Have they started to attack?"
Lyman stared at the Swadian soldiers in the distance for a while and said: "No... they are camping on the spot. They are probably just occupying the bridge to prevent reinforcements from crossing the bridge for rescue."
When Lyman and others approached the bridge, they found that there were less than fifty Swadian soldiers occupying the bridge, and their equipment seemed to be only junior soldiers of the third level or below.
The Swadian soldiers had obviously noticed the more than a hundred Salander cavalry, and they all stood up from their resting state.
The two armies are not close or far together, so they can observe each other, but they are not exposed to the range of the other side's crossbowmen.
Conan said to Lyman: "Mr. Lyman, what do you think?"
Lyman said: "The people guarding here are all junior soldiers, and there are not many of them. It means that this small team was probably stationed here when Swadia began to besiege the two castles. They are here
The function is just like what I said just now to block our reinforcements. They are also very good at choosing places. The bridge is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Our cavalry cannot exert any advantage, so although they have less than fifty people, it is enough.
Resisted us. Moreover, if the person who arranged this detachment is not Charlotte himself, he must be another person with outstanding intelligence-if we are in a hurry and send a small number of cavalry like we do now, they will
It's enough to stop us. If we change our plan temporarily and send a large force over, the journey time will be extended. After we arrive, I'm afraid their large force will also arrive."
Conan asked: "Then what should we do now? Attack by force?"
Lyman shook his head and said: "No, the losses of a strong attack will be too great. Even if we can attack by force, I'm afraid we will have no fighting power by then."
Arlia said: "They are all junior soldiers, so they must have never seen any big battles. As long as we form a cavalry formation and rush over together, maybe they will all flee and we will win without a fight."
Lyman shook his head again and said: "Since the other party's commander will arrange such a garrison here, then he will definitely take this situation into consideration and make other arrangements. Therefore, I don't think our momentum can affect the situation."
What real impact can they have?"
Conan said: "Maybe... the other party's commander also expected that you would think so, Mr. Lehmann, so he might not have made other arrangements. Can our momentum really enable them to escape?"
Lyman said: "No, he must have done something. Either he told the soldiers, or there is another trap. Because the commander of the other side will not know who is leading the rescue team, and whether the person leading the team will
Thinking of rushing over."
Conan frowned and said, "What can we do?"
Lyman said: "Generally speaking, our only way is to dismount the cavalry and charge forward in infantry formation. The other side will definitely take precautions against this and then make arrangements... Hmm? Do you know the shirtless man on the bridge?"
When everyone heard the words and looked around, they saw a burly man standing in the center of the bridge with his upper body covered. He wore a horn-covered helmet on his head and was shirtless. His muscles were crisscrossed, dark and strong. His lower body was only
Wearing a pair of briefs, two strong thighs were exposed, like two strong pillars. Beside the shirtless man, there was a giant sword. The sword was very wide and thick. If it hadn't been for a
The hilt of the sword looks like an iron door from a distance. I can't imagine what kind of damage it would cause if it were hit by this weapon.
Kanites looked at the shirtless man, his pupils dilated, and he said in disbelief: "It's... it's him?"
Lyman immediately asked: "Do you know him?"
Kanites said: "When I was following my former master in the arena, he was my opponent during Suno's game..."
As he spoke, Kanites' face began to look ugly, and he continued: "I have played so many games in the arena, and I have almost never lost... except that time, when I faced him... Deserves..."
"Deserves?" Lehmann repeated the name several times, and then exclaimed in surprise: "Swadia duo?"
The Swadian duo is a title that has only appeared in recent years.
The two heroes of Swadia are two powerful generals under the command of Marshal Aiat of the Kingdom of Swadia - Pierce and Deserves. Of these two, Pierce is proficient in using crossbows, and Deserves is proficient in using crossbows.
The sword is a partner that can cooperate with each other at a distance and at a distance.
Since these two people became Aiyat's subordinates, Swadia has not had many wars in recent years, so it has remained unknown. However, the so-called "obscure" only refers to the battlefield.
Once, when the two Swadia heroes defected to Aiyat, in order to prove their abilities, the two men jointly took over the lair of a green forest bandit gang of nearly 60 people. After they presented the sixty heads,
Ayat finally appreciated their abilities, took them under his command, and gave them the title of "The Two Heroes of Swadia".
As for the capabilities of the "Swadian Heroes", there is no proof except for killing 60 green forest bandits. In recent years, many people have questioned their capabilities, claiming that their reputation is just hype. But without exception,
Yes, those who openly questioned all died soon after. Either their heads were pierced by crossbow arrows, or their bodies were smashed into pulp by unknown heavy objects.
Now, what I didn't expect is that the "Swadian Heroes" actually participated in this war... No, their participation in this war is not a surprising thing, because after all, they have to rely on their military exploits to prove their strength again
Ability, in order to get higher treatment. But what Lyman didn't expect was that he would meet them under such circumstances.
If the man guarding the wall in front of him is really De Sevis, one of the "Swadian Heroes", then his role must be self-evident - to prevent reinforcements from breaking through the bridge with infantry formations.
If De Service was standing on the plain, with the 10 Salander cavalry on his side, De Service would not be ignored at all. However, De Service stood on the bridge.
Lyman took a breath of cold air. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a difficult opponent for the first time in person.
Lyman asked Kanites: "What is this man's personality like?"
Kanites thought for a while and replied: "A bit arrogant, but he has the capital to be arrogant... When I fought against him, if I hadn't used blunt weapons, I might have been
He's dead..." As he spoke, Kanites's face became more and more ugly, and he seemed to still have lingering fears. Kanites has always been carefree, and always claimed to be the god of war in the arena. Since he would care so much about this matter, it is unimaginable.
He had received a lot of blows and stimulations at the beginning, and he could not imagine how Canites suffered a disastrous defeat.
Lyman pondered for a while and said: "Since he is the 'Swadian Hero', he must have a lot of weight in this team. If he can be defeated, the morale of the remaining soldiers will also be high."
Luo - I hope one of us can challenge him in a one-on-one challenge. With his character, he will definitely agree to challenge one-on-one. This is our best plan so far."
Conan frowned and said, "But, who should we send to fight in a one-on-one battle?"
"I'm going!" Suddenly, a voice from the cavalry behind Conan sounded.
Conan turned around and found that one of the Mamluks in the team had left the queue and said to Conan: "Captain, let me go! I don't believe what his so-called 'Swadian Two Heroes' are capable of!"
Conan said in shock: "Manda?"
Manda used to serve under Chief Mondhari with Conan, and this time he was selected to serve as an alliance army in the Six Nations Alliance. Conan was only familiar with Manda, and was not a friend. In Conan's impression,
Manda's skills are extraordinary. In just ten years, he rose from a farmer to the Mamluk, the most senior cavalryman in Salander. Although Manda has no achievements in terms of intelligence and strategy, in terms of pure combat ability, Manda
He has always been the most agile among all Conan's comrades.
When Lehmann saw that someone was willing to fight, he didn't waste any words and immediately said: "Go! Kill Deserves."
"Yes!" Manda responded, immediately clapped his horse and stepped forward, shouting to the Swadian soldiers on the bridge: "I am Salander Mamluk Manda! Does anyone dare to challenge!" Manda shouted as he shouted
As he stood, he stretched out the lance in his hand, stared at De Service in the center of the bridge, and ran over.
Deserves stood in the middle of the bridge, holding the hilt of the sword with one hand and drooping the other hand naturally, facing Manda who was getting closer and closer, seemingly without any reaction.
Manda's war horse had already rushed onto the bridge and charged straight towards De Service. He held the lance tightly in his hand. After seeing the right moment, he aimed at De Service's exposed body and stabbed out!
"when!"
At this critical moment, Deserves suddenly raised a sword as thick as a door panel that had been stuck beside him, blocking Manda's sprint.
When Manda saw that the attack was unsuccessful, he let go of his lance and was about to draw his sword...
"Snapped!"
Manda felt that her body was lighter than ever before.
Manda flew up. To be precise, Manda was slapped into the air by Deserves with a sword like a door panel.
The moment Deserves blocked Manda's charging attack, Deserves launched a counterattack against Manda.
The thick sword shot Manda into the sky like a gun.
The armor on Manda's body was instantly deformed by the smash, and all the internal organs in his body were shattered. His whole body was suddenly flattened into a piece, and then he collapsed on the bridge.
Manda's horse seemed not to realize that its owner had been killed and continued to run forward. Not long after, the ownerless horse was intercepted by the soldiers behind Deserves.
De Serves twisted his head on the spot and said lazily: "I thought the Six Nations Alliance was so powerful, but I didn't expect that the people sent to call the formation were actually such people." His voice was low and rough. There seemed to be no trace of emotion in his tone.
Take no one seriously.
Lehmann pondered: "Sure enough, the 'Swadian Heroes' are not just in name." Then he shouted: "Who else dares to step forward and fight?"
When the Salander cavalry saw that even Manda was not one of De Seves' generals, they all showed fear on their faces.
Seeing that her side's morale began to decline, Arlia gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go!" She then patted her horse and moved forward.
"Wait a minute!" Lyman immediately intercepted Arlia and said, "Didn't you see it just now? Although the cavalry's charge is powerful, it is not flexible enough. De Seves's weapon looks heavy, but it is tricked by him.
You have to be very flexible and completely restrain the cavalry. If you go, you will be killed, to say the least."
"Then let me go!" Suddenly, Charlie's brother, Maneus, the captain of the Snow Leopard Adventure Team, stood up and shouted.
Manaeus also carried a large two-handed war sword on his back. Although the war sword was large, it was a bit dwarfed by the sword of Deserves, which was comparable to a door panel.
Manaeus smiled and said: "With his sword, if I were to dance, I would probably be more flexible than him, so don't worry."
In terms of body shape, the muscles on Manaeus's body are not comparable to those of Deserves. Both of them are burly men, so it's hard to say who will win in a competition.
Lyman nodded without any hesitation: "Okay, I hope you can win!"
Charlie frowned and stepped forward and warned: "Brother, be careful." Charlie did not stop his brother from stepping forward to fight. Obviously, he also knew that among the people present, only his brother was capable of fighting the opponent.
Manaeus smiled at Charlie and said, "Don't worry! When has your brother and I been defeated?"
So, Manaeus approached the bridge and shouted to Deserves: "I! Captain of the Snow Leopard Adventure Team, Manaeus!"
Deserves glanced at Manaeus and said with a smile: "Are there no people in the Six Nations Alliance? They actually let someone from the adventure team come."
Manaeus laughed loudly and said: "To deal with you, the people in the adventure team are enough!"
