I don't know at what time, the top of the mound was filled with heavily armed soldiers. Although it was unclear in the dark, the team leader could confirm that the number of people on the other side was at least several times greater than on his side.
These soldiers lined up in a neat formation in silence, exuding a very oppressive killing intent. The squad leader is also a man with rich combat experience, and he immediately understood that these are all elite warriors, definitely no worse than his own men.
.
What frightened the squad leader even more was that standing at the front of the opponent's formation was a row of crossbowmen. These crossbowmen were all ready to fire, with their gleaming arrowheads aimed at the people under the mound, ready to fire at any time.
Launch a deadly attack.
"Be careful..." The team leader only had time to shout two words before he was pierced by an arrow in the chest. He fell to the ground, and the last thought in his mind before dying was: Is that woman alive?
I hope so, what a pity...
Just as the squad leader died, others had already arrived at this horrifying scene. Before these people could turn around and run for their lives, Roger had already given the order to the crossbowmen to fire.
Only the "buzzing" sound of the bowstring could be heard, and countless deadly arrows were shot at Edward and his men in the darkness. The distance between the two sides was very close, only more than twenty steps away. At such a close distance
, even inlaid armor could not withstand the attacks of longbows and light crossbows. The soldiers rushing in front fell to the ground with arrows and screams, and the night breeze that was fresh just now soon carried a strong smell of blood.
The longbowmen soon attacked again, and Edward's men waved their weapons in vain, hoping to deflect the sharp arrows. However, in such darkness, there were no arrows coming, and many people only heard the sound of bowstrings.
As soon as the shot was fired, he was shot to the ground, unable to withstand such a terrifying attack.
After firing two rounds of sharp arrows, the crossbowmen retreated tacitly, and the iron spear soldiers and sword warriors rushed down the mound in neat formation, charging at the enemy who had no fighting spirit.
The warriors who condescended to launch the reunion were extremely powerful, but their opponents were frightened and had no courage to continue fighting. At this time, these guys no longer cared about killing Roger, they only wanted to save their own lives.
, they all turned around and ran away.
"Don't run, fight!" Edward shouted in vain, but no one listened to him. Even the officers joined the fleeing ranks.
After witnessing this scene, Edward knew that the situation was over and turned around to run for his life. At this time, his heart was full of doubts. Where did these elite soldiers come from? Why didn't they notice it before? If he knew that Roger had such a thing in his hand,
A terrifying force, Edward would never take the risk of attacking him.
However, Edward would never know the answers to these questions. He had just turned around and ran a few steps when he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him. Edward glanced back instinctively, his pupils immediately shrank to smaller than the tip of a needle, and he blurted out:
"cavalry!"
Seeing that the enemy was about to run away, Roger summoned the light cavalry. Maybe the light cavalry was a little weak against the enemies in formation. But chasing down the fleeing enemies was the light cavalry's specialty.
The light cavalry urged their horses to catch up from behind, holding their sabers high and slashing at the fleeing enemies as easily as a hunter hunting a rabbit. It didn't take long for the fleeing enemies to be almost wiped out, leaving only their strength.
The strongest Edward and two officers survived.
However, these three people were only alive for the time being. They were surrounded by light cavalry and had no way out. Several of them, including Ed, were pale, knowing in their hearts that they would not be able to escape this time.
Not long after, Roger arrived surrounded by soldiers. By this time, the sky was already dark, and Edward finally had the opportunity to know how many people there were on the other side. The fact surprised him. There were soldiers all around in the morning light. According to preliminary estimates,
There are nearly a thousand people.
This made Edward very confused, and finally couldn't help but asked Roger loudly: "Since you have so many soldiers, why do you deliberately show weakness to tease us!"
"I am a nobleman with a sense of justice. If you didn't want to kill me first, I would be a little embarrassed to do it to you." Roger said seriously: "And don't you think that such a surprise completely destroyed your men?
Can my fighting spirit avoid causing too much damage to me?"
Roger's words made Edward so angry that he couldn't help shouting: "You... you are simply a villain!"
"You are wrong." Roger said with a cold look on his face: "Attempting to murder the nobles of the kingdom is the behavior of a villain. Now I sentence you to death!"
As soon as Roger finished speaking, the crossbowman fired fatal arrows at Edward and others. The two officers around him were instantly shot into hedgehogs and died without even screaming. Edward was stronger,
Although he has deflected many arrows, he has also suffered
He fell to the ground injured. Although he was still struggling to stand up, he was unable to do anything. The last scene Edward arrived was that several horses were running towards him quickly, and the light cavalry on the horses had raised their sabers high.
, and then his vision went dark and he lost all consciousness.
"Sigh... I didn't expect that the first battle to exterminate the orcs would be a battle with the Kingdom's soldiers. It's really disappointing." Facing Edward's entire army being wiped out, Roger sighed and said, "I don't want this either.
Yeah, who told you to force me?"
Bonnie couldn't stand what Roger said and couldn't help but interject: "If they don't do anything to you, will you really let them go?"
"Of course, I am a person with a bottom line!" Roger said confidently: "But I can't guarantee whether the orcs will let them go. After all, there is danger in annihilating the orcs, right?"
"I knew you were not a good person. Even if they didn't do anything to you, you would still find a way to let these people die at the hands of the orcs." Bonnie exposed Roger's lies mercilessly, but she didn't look very angry.
Edward and his men came to trouble Roger. For Bonnie, whose heart was tied to Roger, it was not a pity for such a person to die, and of course she would not blame Roger for them.
"Hey, my Bonnie still understands me!" Roger hugged the female knight's slim waist and said: "Now that the trouble around us has been solved, it's the turn of those hateful orcs!"
Bonnie had not seen the evil deeds of the orcs in recent days, and she deeply agreed with Roger's words. However, she quickly remembered a question and asked Roger with some worry: "But this golden wasteland is so big, how can we find it?"
Where are the orcs?"
"Have you forgotten these little guys?" Roger smiled proudly at the female knight and released all the hippogryphs.
These demon pets flapped their wings and flew in all directions, quickly disappearing into the sky of the golden wasteland.
