PS: Today is the 69th birthday of Motherland. I wish Motherland a happy birthday!! I love my country!
PS: To celebrate National Day, there will be two updates today, and the second update will be later in the evening.
Passing through mounds, river valleys and lush forests, the cold forest wind passed directly through the animal skin cloaks and leather armor of the human army, directly piercing into their bodies.
Large groups of human armies were shuttling through the forest. The serf infantry regiments held up their spears and swords and continued to advance along the wilderness trails in the forest. They tried to make as little noise as possible along the way. The arduous journey was difficult for these ordinary people.
The poorly fed serfs were a huge challenge, but not a single infantryman complained.
Soldiers are eager for military pay, eager to capture, and eager to be promoted, and war is the only means of promotion. No one is willing to give up the opportunity to join the army. All serfs dream of sending themselves or their sons into Earl Lane's army.
, in exchange for opportunities for promotion.
In the dark life of a serf, this was the only light of hope. He entered the infantry regiment, was promoted to sergeant, obtained the status of a free citizen, and then moved into the castle and became a professional soldier. This gave his family the opportunity to move into the town and escape from the life of the serf.
identity.
The serfs were far more eager for war than the knights.
This is already the second day that the army has entered the forest, and they have already eliminated three beastman warbands.
The forest is not suitable for a group charge of knights. Most of the knights are on foot. The wood elves shuttle quickly between the woods, but the dwarves complain repeatedly. The thick roots and thorns hinder their progress, and the thick fog hinders their progress.
Catching their sight.
"Evil will always exist in the Chalon Forest. Whenever it comes to night, Goblins and Beastmen will appear in the forest. They are vicious and hate any living person. The Goblins may play with their prey.
Kill you again, and the kindness of the beastmen is just to kill you all at once, or to cut you in half and enjoy your progress from struggle to
The process of death." Bertrand said to the group of witch apprentices at Veronica's request: "But despite this, you cannot feel that you are safe outside the forest. The darkness in many human beings' hearts is even far away.
More than these vicious creatures of the wild, this evil is not in their nature, but it makes them even more terrifying."
Many witch apprentices have turned pale with fright at the tone of the bandit leader, even Catherine, who has been promoted to an official witch. However, Veronica just looked at it expressionlessly, and the whole body of Witch of Gloriosa was full of
With a ball of flame and goose-yellow light, it allowed her to move smoothly through the forest.
The topic among the knights was different. Kingdom Knight Hex stared at the silver-white fog in the forest. He felt dizzy every time he took a breath of cold air: "Not far away is Lily Island, His Majesty Arthur and
It was there that Mr. Marcus and Mr. Sirluff met. At that place, Mr. Marcus and Mr. Sirluff met.
The husband met the lady, and the lady made them drink the water of the Holy Grail. These were the second and third Holy Grail Knights. At that time, Arthur only had three hundred people and the greenskins had ten thousand people. But in the end, after the greenskin army's corpse,
The ones on top of the pile roaring in victory are the Bretons! Sir Armand, you must have made a pilgrimage to the Isle of Lilies, right?"
"Yes, that's where the first knight brotherhood in Britannia was established." Armand whispered: "The prototype of the future Holy Grail Knights."
What a glory! Holy Grail! All the knights present showed enchanted expressions.
The silvery white mist enveloped this quiet forest and the endless forest land. This is the resting place of the warriors who died in the ancient times. Their bones are buried here and their bodies are housed.
Souls, guarding their damp graveyards, the glory of the past kings has long gone, and now all that remains are ruins.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you, gentlemen." At this time, the half-elf Estelle jumped out from the forest and landed in front of everyone: "We found another beastman warrior who was having a banquet.
help."
"Get ready for action!" Holy Grail Knight Armand nodded. He directed the army to move slowly towards the destination. Angron had given him all the power to command this army. Armand didn't quite understand why.
, but he knew that this was a trust in him.
The army gradually approached the location where the wood elves were investigating.
A bright light gradually appeared in the distance. It was an intoxicating amber light. The light seemed to contain warmth and fire, which made the army advancing in the cold winter feel a little slack. Some serfs' eyes were even a little blurred.
, they thought of the warm quilt in their room and the warmth of the fire.
The sound of the sword being unsheathed was like a poisonous snake biting the serf infantry, which almost woke them up immediately. The knights and the sergeants leading the team took deep breaths and kept gesturing to the serfs to prepare for battle.
The army gradually approached. Hundreds of serf infantry, groups of sergeants and knights gradually approached the place where the light was. It was a bonfire, and bursts of noisy shouts and screams were accompanied by no sense of art.
The drumbeat beat, the voice was full of joy, and the shouts became louder and louder.
In a forest clearing, a group of creatures are dancing. There are about two hundred of them. They have twisted bodies, beast heads, huge antlers, and curse-like voices. They are dancing, wrestling, and biting around a campfire.
, their bodies look like men and women, but their faces, claws and hooves are not human at all.
The banquet was now so noisy that the beastman tribe turned a deaf ear to the situation outside. They never knew that the few horned beasts arranged to watch outside had died tragically due to the superb archery skills of the wood elves and Estel.
Down.
There were many skinned corpses placed in the clearing of the trees, some of which were human and some of which were animals. The leader was a beastman shaman, dressed in tatters and wearing a skull mask. It kept dancing on its hands and feet, toward the corpse.
The God of Darkness prayed and issued its own plea. No one knew what it was saying, but everyone knew that another battle was approaching.
The Beastman Shaman was still dancing, and it kept pleading to the God of Chaos, but no one responded.
"Whoops!" An arrow with a faint sparkle flashed out from the shadows. It cut through the cold air and hit the Beast Man Shaman on the shoulder.
"Hmm~" The Beastman Shaman's shoulder was pierced by an arrow. It howled miserably. Just as it was about to pull out the arrow with its hand, three or four more arrows flew from the shadows. The Beastman Shaman was hit by arrows one after another.
It roared loudly and struggled to get up.
There was another burst of musketry from the depths of the shadows, and the barrage of lead bullets from the dwarves shattered the beastman shaman's body into pieces.
"Enemy... people, destroy... destroy!" After such a turn of events, the beast king of the beastman warband finally reacted. It roared loudly and was reveling at the banquet. The beastmen began to react slowly. They tried to take out their weapons.
Launch a counterattack against the enemy.
But the human coalition obviously would not give the beastmen a chance to react. A large group of human soldiers appeared from the shadows. Faster than them were his crossbow bolts. More than a hundred crossbowmen had already loaded their weapons, followed by a large number of
The sergeants raised their dwarf hand crossbows together.
"咻咻咻~" The dense rain of arrows first harvested the horned beasts and inferior horned beasts. The arrows fired by the powerful dwarf hand crossbows were accurate and fast. The first wave of beastmen who reacted immediately paid a huge amount of money.
The casualties were dozens of beastmen killed on the spot.
"Charge...charge." The Beast King of the Beastmen just shouted, and he immediately attracted the attention of the human army. Armand, the Holy Grail Knight, pointed at the dwarf engineer of the Beast King and shouted: "The Beast King is right there!"
"Okay! Look at us!" Dwarf Engineer Dugan-Tiehan took out his dwarf long-fire gun from his back and was about to take aim.
"Whoops~" More than a dozen arrows with the power of sparks were aimed faster than the dwarves. The beastman and the beast king were continuously hit by arrows in the chest, shoulders, abdomen, thighs, and wrists. At first, it forced itself to endure it, until
An arrow penetrated its head, and its knees weakened: "Woooooo~"
"The dwarves' things just don't work, hehe." O'Gross, the wood elf woodland lord, put down the recurve bow in his hand and laughed at the dwarves' slow motion. The wood elf recruits burst into laughter.
"Boom~" The beast king of the beastman warband died, but the remaining beastmen have gradually approached the coalition forces.
"Back off!" Hux shouted, "Lance formation!"
"Yes!" The serf infantry shouted in response to the knight's command. The crossbowmen all retreated, and then a large group of spearmen came out from behind. They formed a dense spear formation, and all the beastmen tried to attack the spear formation.
All of them were stabbed with spears and their flesh and blood were bloody.
The first battle was unfavorable. Both the Beast King and the Screaming Shaman were killed. The morale of the beastmen suffered a great setback. Their attempt to attack the spear formation failed. The morale of the remaining beastmen was seriously shaken. They tried to retreat while wailing.
Olivier and the dwarf patriarch Sven Novigrad had already led the foot knights and dwarf warriors around to the side of the beastmen. The kingdom knight drew his long sword: "Charge! For the lady!"
"For the lady!" The morale of the serf swordsmen and sergeants was greatly shaken. Many of them had the experience of participating in chivalry wars with Ryan. They were not afraid of these ferocious beastmen, especially the dwarves.
.
The combat effectiveness of the knights is unparalleled. These professional soldiers held up shields and swords, rushed into the beastmen's formation from the side and rear, and started a fierce battle. The dwarf warriors held up battle axes or hammers to kill the beasts.
The people were defeated one after another.
The beastmen were besieged from three sides and their morale plummeted. On this cold night, these beasts immediately lost their will to fight and began to try to escape.
Sparks exploded in the hinterland of the beastman army. Several witch apprentices jointly released a fireball, smashing several leading big horned beasts. The wood elf forest guards continued to string their bows, and the serf crossbowmen and spearmen
Pushing forward collectively, this beastman warband met its fate of destruction.
"Burn the corpses and clean the battlefield! Move quickly and take away everything you can!" A small battle ended, another beastman war gang was wiped out, and the Holy Grail Knight Armand shuttled among the crowd: "Action
Hurry, soldiers! We must reach the big rock pile before dawn!"
"Yes! Sir Armand!" the serf soldiers responded loudly. They cleared the battlefield and set fire to the corpses of the beastmen. The greedy serfs were searching for all possible trophies. Like many animals, the beastmen also like shiny things.
Many serf soldiers soon got a lot of things. Some serfs got a small bag of silver coins, and the corners of their mouths were grinning.
"Kill all the beastmen, kill all the beastmen you see, without any mercy or mercy, if you don't want to watch these beasts rush into your farmland next year, kill your family, and burn you
houses, then kill them all!" Sergeant Bertrand shouted in the crowd: "Those who let the beastmen escape will be beheaded, immediately!"
"Yes, Bertrand is right, implement it immediately!" Some knights echoed loudly.
Seeing some beastman cubs, some serfs still couldn't bear it. After hearing Bertrand's words, they finally made up their minds. There were several beastman cubs that were still in their infancy, with fur and horns.
Impaled with swords and spears, and then cremated.
We must not allow these beasts to destroy the beautiful life we finally obtained!
"Another glorious victory." Several kingdom knights stood at a tree stump, discussing the next battle plan: "We are gradually approaching the big stone pile, Your Excellency Angron."
A large map was spread on the tree stump. Judging from the map, this army had penetrated deep into the Chalon Forest.
"Very good, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is quite impressive. We captured a lot along the way." Angron nodded with satisfaction: "But our most priority plan is still to find a way to get the vibranium from the greenskin tribe, just as we planned
We will continue to advance along the route, Mr. O'Gross, the investigation will still trouble you."
"I know." The wood elf lord raised his chin proudly: "Nothing can hide from our eyes, the forest knows everything."
"Keep fighting! The powerful dwarves will definitely win!" Sven, the dwarf leader, shouted.
"Speaking of it, it's been a long time since we had such a happy battle." Holy Grail Knight Armand said with some sigh: "Almost thirty or forty years ago, knights often went into the forest to eliminate these beastmen. Many knights were eager to obtain
New lands were used for enfeoffment, and the dukes also hoped to open up new territories."
"But decades have passed, and now only the most daring dukes will consider regaining the lost lands submerged in the forest. Most nobles no longer have the ability to organize an army of this size to expand their territories. Lord Lane's
Showing up gave us hope." Armand seemed to be in good spirits.
Several kingdom knights nodded, and Veronica took the time to teach these witch apprentices practical skills.
"An green-skinned transport team is advancing not far away. Their destination seems to be the same as ours, which is the green-skinned fortress behind the large pile of rocks." Estelle reported the investigation situation with several eternal guards.
"Very well, soldiers, follow me." Angron raised his axe.
"We have a deal to make with You Greenskin." (To be continued)
