The Sword of the Wolf King, the blade and body of the sword are made of the teeth of the King of the Steppe Jackals and the exquisite steel secretly kept by the blacksmith Lao Ao. It is extremely tough and sharp.
Its hilt and scabbard are cast from the bones of the King of Prairie Jackals, making them very strong and durable.
It is wider, longer, and lighter than the largest giant sword used by ordinary warriors.
It braves the cold light, exudes fierce murderous aura, and is born to be bloodthirsty.
"Old Ao, you are indeed an excellent blacksmith. No, I should call you the swordsmith master. When I come back from the war, I will arrange a good job for you in the town."
"No need, my distinguished master, my life is very happy. Now I can see my wife and children every day. I am very content."
After hearing this, Russell said nothing more, but he was extremely satisfied with the sword. After thanking the blacksmith Lao Ao, he accepted the sword and prepared to set off.
This time the journey went quite smoothly, without encountering violent storms or muddy swamps. In order to wait for Xiaonan to return to the team, Russell and his party slowed down their pace appropriately.
On the night of the second day, when Drassel was setting up camp, Xiao Nan successfully returned to the team. After Safiya was sleeping, Xiao Nan secretly approached Drassel.
"Why are you sneaking up next to me? I don't like men."
"No, my distinguished master, you have misunderstood! Emperor Luo Nier asked me to send you a message..."
"What did she want to tell me?"
"She said, let her go with 500? Is this the price of a princess? She asked you to wash your face and wait. Next time I meet you, I will give you a few big ears."
"Hahahaha, she is very humorous. Did she say anything else?"
"She also said that she knows that you are going to fight again. This time it is very dangerous. She hopes that you will have a battle plan before taking action."
"Okay, I know in my heart what kind of enemy force I am facing. You can arrange for people to take turns to work the night shift."
"As you command, my master." Xiaonan nodded respectfully, turned and left.
Not to mention anything else, he is debt-free and light-hearted. Although he only has 1,000 dinars in hand now, Russell feels extremely comfortable.
According to the current marching speed, we can reach Duckburg tomorrow afternoon.
Russell looked into the distance and could actually hear a little bit of the sound of fighting. He estimated that fighting had already begun ahead.
According to the information previously provided by Earl Harlan, our army had about four to five hundred men in this battle. Including the enemy, there were about a thousand men fighting in the front.
If I go now, I will be like cannon fodder, and Earl Harlan can't see me and doesn't know that I went to help him.
It is better to arrive later, wait for the enemy troops to be tired, then suddenly charge out and disrupt the enemy troops, then turn around and leave.
It can also effectively avoid too many casualties for one's own troops, which is what Russell is currently planning in his mind.
Thinking about it, Russell's eyelids trembled, and he soon fell asleep, and the night passed like this...
The time has come on the morning of the last agreed day.
De La Serre's troops slowly advanced towards the front. The sound of fighting in the front became louder and noisier, and the two sides were fighting fiercely.
The scale of the battle was so huge that for a while Russell couldn't clearly see the situation ahead, so he made arrangements:
"Xiao Nan, you go to investigate first and see how the battle is going. Don't go too deep. Remember to come back as soon as possible."
"As you command, my master." Xiaonan nodded respectfully and set off in a hurry.
"Ouch." At this time, the young dragon Ren began to scream.
[Why don’t you go investigate yourself and send your brothers to take risks? You are really not a good brother.]
Russell looked serious and said seriously: "Ren, we are on the battlefield now. I need to command the troops. Stop joking."
"Ouch..."
【okay, I get it……】
Safiya touched Ren's head and whispered: "At the critical moment, don't affect the Baron's performance~"
"Ouch."
【I know, I know, I have a sense of proportion.】
After a while, Xiao Nan rushed back and reported:
"We are at a huge advantage. We have about 300 people left. The Svadia Iron Knights are so powerful. They are beating the enemy back steadily."
Russell looked calm and continued to ask: "How many more enemy soldiers are there?"
"There are no more than 200 at most. Count Harlan's troops rushed to the front and performed bravely."
"Are you sure the enemy is not pretending to retreat and ambushing you from behind? They know full well that they cannot defeat the Svadia Iron Knights if they charge head-on."
"This... Baron, please forgive me, I really can't tell." After all, Xiaonan is just a brave knight, and this is not his area of expertise.
Drasel nodded slightly and signaled Xiao Nan to return to the team. After thinking for a moment, he said to Safiya:
"I believe the enemy is not that stupid. Look at how cunning, cunning, and courageous Nayan Tulu was before."
Recalling the previous battles in Xiko Village and Uxhall, Safiya felt that this was indeed the case.
"Baron, you are right. There must be more than one lord of the Kugit Khanate on the opposite side. It is impossible for several of them to be fools. How could they blindly charge into the confrontation?"
"But I think Earl Harlan, as a wise commander, will definitely consider these things. If he goes deep alone, there is only one reason."
"What's the reason?" Safiya didn't understand what the baron meant.
"He should think that even if the opponent has an ambush, he can also eliminate the ambush troops." Russell believes that this is the only possibility.
After comprehensive consideration, Russell ordered: "Let's wait and see. Now is not the best time to attack."
[Additional rewards: "Tactics" skill 1, charm 1.]
[Evaluation: This time you really analyzed it carefully and faced it calmly, and your performance was great]
[The "Tactics" skill allows your troops to temporarily improve their combat capabilities during combat.]
[For example, if you and the enemy are both level 1 Swadia recruits, and you have the "Tactics 1" skill, but the enemy does not, your recruit will eventually kill the opponent. 】
Well, you explained the system in detail this time. It means that in the same level and with the same number, whoever has a higher "tactics" skill can kill the other party.
It seems that this skill is very effective, Russell thought to himself.
Sure enough, after another hour passed, Russell clearly felt that the enemy's momentum was suddenly huge.
He took a closer look and saw that the enemy troops shot out nearly a hundred Kugit cavalry troops from both sides, with about 50 people on each side.
These Kujit cavalry quickly outflanked and attacked our rear army. The rear army was mainly composed of crossbowmen and infantry, and could not resist the trampling of the war horses.
