In the fifth year of the Magic Calendar, Mr. Amy, one of the leaders of the five A-level mercenary groups, once publicly questioned the lifestyle of the residents of Fanos Continent.
It is a pity that Mr. Amy's remarks are not correct, at least not completely correct.
There are no less than 20 races living on the continent of Fanos. Among them, the more powerful races are: orcs, bears, centaurs, humans, snakes, dragons, and werewolves.
Among these races, the werewolves have the worst individual combat power. They are the shortest race in the entire continent and have the worst weapons.
In order to ensure the reproduction rights of the race, werewolf women carry pillows and sheets wherever they go, and "cope" with any werewolf male who intends to have sex anytime, anywhere - note that even other races on the Fanos continent also treat werewolves as
Sex life is called copulation.
Therefore, everything Amy pointed out at that time only happened within the werewolf tribe.
Of course, the fault does not lie entirely with Lord Amy. After all, these materials come from the Imperial Library.
——"Historical Regret"
※※※
"You little pretty boy, go to hell!"
"Fuck you, uncle."
The orcs born and raised in Fanos are extremely simple. In their eyes, the only curse words used are "Fuck your uncle!", "His grandma's", etc. Under the explanation of their human companions, the orcs finally understood the city wall.
What did that boy mean just now? The orc warriors who were just thinking about how to treat Amy well after being captured rushed to the pretty boy on the wall and stretched out their right middle finger. There were more than a dozen impulsive orc warriors who dropped their shields and carried them.
The one-and-a-half-meter long mace-toothed club rushed out.
"Shoot!" the white boy on the city wall said coldly.
The bowstring of the prairie elf's longbow trembled slightly, and more than 10 orc warriors who rushed out of the team immediately fell down. The gaps they exposed were also hit by intensive fire from green arrows, and more warriors fell in a pool of blood.
A few harsh words from his opponent caused the Fanos army to lose at least one-sixth of its soldiers. Seeing this, Norton's boiling blood quickly calmed down. The only purpose of those words just now was probably this. If he said a few harsh words
You can kill a considerable number of enemies, and I'm afraid I will do the same.
The orcs' battle shields closed quickly, and the carriage moved slowly until it finally turned into a ring-shaped protective circle.
"Your Excellency Amy, now that I have arrived at the city, I heard that you are both magic and martial arts masters, and both have extraordinary abilities. Do you dare to fight me in front of the city?" Norton held up a meter-long mace with one hand.
"Is this necessary? The weather is so nice. Wouldn't it be more poetic and picturesque for us to casually chat about geography and customs?" It is better to hide one's shame than to show one's ugliness. Norton's little trick is simply not worth mentioning in front of the young wise men of mankind.
"Don't you have the shame of a brave man? Don't you want to make military exploits for your country?" Norton continued to stimulate Amy.
"Do I need this?" A confused look appeared on the face of the person who was provoked, and he became even more arrogant: "I only have an employer-employee relationship with the Imperial Military Department. The task book given to us is very clear. The protection is broken.
In Iceport City, there is no mention of going out to fight. The empire did not pay me a penny for this."
"Aren't you... ready to avenge your subordinates?"
"Norton, don't you just want me to go out and attack you? You haven't read human art of war. The strong shows the enemy the weakness. This is the most basic knowledge. Do you think I will be fooled by your mere appearance of a few hundred people?"
"This, your Excellency, is too funny." Amy sneered at the city wall. "I am definitely not the one who is anxious between the two of us. Reinforcements from the imperial capital will arrive in four days at the latest, and reinforcements from the southern part of the empire will arrive in ten days at the latest.
At that time, once I hand over the city's defense, I can take the mercenary group back to the empire to collect the money. Speaking of which, I am really grateful to you for your kindness, which has made the small mercenary group's reputation for victory time and time again.
, By the way, I don’t know if you would mind if I tell you, as a Fanos soldier, your income must be very meager..."
"Don't insult my loyalty, I will not rebel." Amy's words touched the bottom line of Norton's virtue, and she was immediately rejected by the orc.
"No, no. You misunderstood. The Small Mercenary Group is a joint-stock private group. Currently, I am the largest shareholder, with zhan owning 35% of the shares. The person next to me is Daqingshan, who has 30% of the shares.
, and 35% of the shares are in the hands of Uncle Chi Hanfeng, Chi Aotian, Horns and others. Our only purpose in running this group is to make money, and our money-making model is very simple. Now we are protecting the city
, we can earn more than 100,000 gold coins for every successful defense. I am going to give you 5% of the shares as a friendly gift, so that you can also be called a partner of the small mercenary group. In this way, every time we defend a new
After arriving at the city, you led troops to attack. Of course, it wasn’t really a fight. We just held a large party. Then, when the official soldiers from the empire arrived, we retreated. This way... Haha, every time we
You can earn a lot of money... How about I share the dividends with you?" Sir Amy seemed to have forgotten her harsh words just now.
"You..." Norton was furious. As a half-orc, he had never heard of the concept of shares or partners. Amy really didn't understand the economic development of the Fanos continent. When it comes to partnership, it must be
It is a capital society, and Fanos continent has already entered a communist society, so these concepts have disappeared without development at all.
"Your Excellency Amy, you are too smart...but perhaps it is true to what you humans say: cleverness can lead to mistakes. I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I have tried my best to fight for you humans." After speaking, Fa
The commander of North's Third Army waved his hand, and a signal bomb shot up into the sky and made continuous explosions in the sky. The horse-drawn carriage phalanx moved slowly and randomly backwards.
Soon, pigeons were flying in the sky, and the news quickly came to Amy's hands: a large number of warships appeared in the sea outside Duanbing Port, and Barbas ordered the troops to scuttle the fishing boats offshore to prevent the opponent from attacking the coast.
In the direction of the mainland highway, at least three thousand-man teams gathered together and set off towards Duanbing Port.
A force with no less than 5,000 men appeared 20 miles south of Duanbing Port and set off towards Floating Ice Port.
Horns got the news one step earlier than Amy. There was no need to hide the Wild Vulture Swordsman Camp hidden in the snow. Nearly a hundred Wild Vulture Swordsmen were flying around the city to report updated news at any time; the Duanbing Port Swordsman Camp
Already gone to support the coast; the Berserker Battalion took over the defense of the Great Warrior Battalion, and the Great Swordsman Battalion all climbed onto the city wall; the residents who were recruited on the city to assist in defending the city had set up cauldrons to boil water to defend against enemy attacks; and Horn
Si Ben and Chi Aotian hurried to the city gate together.
On the city wall, Amy and others could already feel the sharp decline in morale, and some of the soldiers from the small mercenary group also had anxious looks on their faces.
The enemy did not attack the city immediately. The heavy infantry took up a position 1,000 meters outside the city wall. Centaur archers filed out of the gaps in the heavy infantry formation. In front of them were human crossbowmen; the knights who should have been arranged on the wings
The troops were placed at the very back. This was probably not a deliberate tactical arrangement by the enemy commander. No matter what kind of mount it was, it would not be able to be put into actual combat without about a month of corrections after a long journey at sea.
Both sides of the team were werewolf light infantry. These short guys held a shield in one hand and a short sword and a scimitar in the other. They intimidated, pushed, and threatened the human residents in front of them towards the city wall. Looking at the increasingly taller and dazzling city walls
The bright weapons and the undercurrent of uneasiness among the civilians were changing rapidly. Feeling this countercurrent, the cold weapons in the hands of the werewolf warriors almost pressed against the backs of the human civilians.
Norton's main formation gradually retreated into the larger group. At this time, it was almost impossible for Amy and Horns to stop them even if they wanted to.
The commander of the Fanos Army was obviously a master. After all the troops stabilized, a green flag of their own camp was raised in the sky. The werewolf warriors suddenly increased their movements and waved their weapons, creating a bloody battle between the werewolves and humans.
The fog suddenly rose, and the pitiful cries of humans rang out over Duanbing Port, like waves. The humans in the back row pushed forward and stumbled towards the city wall.
At the same time, two units of archers followed the civilians and approached the city wall with very clear intentions. A moment later, heavy infantry also pressed forward from both sides.
The catapult made a heavy trembling sound, and stones about 25 centimeters in diameter hit the city wall like raindrops. A tall ladder protruded from the heavy infantry formation and pointed directly at the top of the city wall. Three large rams followed at the end, with the target only
One: East City Gate.
The officers of the small mercenary group on the city wall all had one thought in their minds at this time: they were losing a game. They did not expect that the enemy's sneak attack from a small group of troops turned into a frontal siege. Come to think of it, the enemy has been late these days.
It must have landed on a nearby beach. Sadly, in order to realize their dream of beating dogs behind closed doors, the small mercenary group did not allow the Vulture Knights to take off to avoid exposing their own strength. Now it seems that not only has the enemy already
We know that the city is being defended by a small mercenary group, and we probably know the current organization and number of the small mercenary group very well. Now we can only hope that reinforcements will arrive as soon as possible.
There are just a few common ways to siege a city. Although Amy and others have not seen it with their own eyes, they are written in quite detail in various textbooks. There are only a few ways to counterattack a city. In the final battle of city attack and defense, there are actually three points:
Combat strength; supply; reinforcements. Under the protection of the city wall, the more than 4,000 armed forces under the small mercenary group should be able to withstand an army of 20,000 for about 10 days.
Amy paid attention to the reflections on the city wall. The reactions of the small mercenary members were quite normal. The magic swordsmen silently recited the magic defense shield to resist the dense stone rain. The great swordsmen held up huge cowhide shields on each side.
On the crenel; the faces of the soldiers of the Duanbing Port Swordsman Battalion were almost completely white. They were coping rather than defending. They were more looking at the civilians under the city. Needless to think about it, quite a few of them were
The residents who came from the small villages and towns around Duanbing Port performed better. While cursing the enemy, they bent down and carried firewood from under the city wall.
"Please come to see me immediately, Earl of Linka." Daqingshan was arranged to be responsible for guarding the front city wall. Amy ordered as she quickly walked down the horse ladder to the bottom of the city.
Soon, not only Count Linka from the knight team, but also Guiki, the head of the swordsman battalion, also hurriedly arrived.
"Your Excellency Amy, most of the swordsmen in the Swordsman Battalion come from surrounding villages and towns. If this continues, it is extremely detrimental to the morale of the military. I suggest that the Swordsman Battalion be quickly removed from the city wall." As a senior imperial mid-level officer, Guigui understands the importance of morale very well.
There is another layer of subconsciousness that is difficult to explain clearly about the importance of besieging an isolated city. If an emergency arises when these soldiers are arranged to defend the city, they may sacrifice the city.
Amy nodded silently: "You are right, I am thinking of a way, they still need to hold on for half an hour."
After saying that, Amy turned to Earl Linka: "Your Excellency, we must restore our morale. Therefore, I have a plan that requires your support. First, I will arrange for the knight battalion of the small mercenary group to kill from the small south gate of Duanbing Port.
Go out and cut in from the right side of the enemy. Of course, this is just a bait. After the two armies come into contact, they will immediately return to the south gate of Duanbing Port. After pulling away part of the enemy's mobile troops, the Crazy Eagle Swordsman Battalion will surprise its troops; at this time,
I need your help. Your nobles and the small mercenary group Mad Knight Battalion will charge out from the north gate of Duanbing Port, cutting through the gap between civilians and enemies. Behind you is the small mercenary group Great Swordsman Battalion. They will carry the scrolls.
The civilians return from the north gate, and the noble and mad knight battalions are separated. At this time, the mad eagle swordsman battalion and other small mercenary battalions will disrupt the enemy formation to the maximum extent to prevent them from seeing our true intentions. I don’t know the count.
Your opinion."
Although Count Linka is several years older than Amy, and his title is two ranks higher than Amy's, in terms of position alone, Amy is exactly Count Linka's military superior.
Amy was not allowed to be so polite. Count Linka, who was also a young man, and the leaders of the small mercenary group had differences on many matters. If they were suppressed, there would inevitably be a backlash.
"No!" Earl Linka's rejection shocked everyone around him: "The Duanbing Port Knights Battalion is a force directly under the city lord. We will not execute any order without the city lord's order."
Amy frowned tightly. There was only 1,000 meters away from the city. If we delayed for a few more minutes, the flesh and blood of the crying civilians would fall on the city wall. Asphalt, boiling water, and boiling oil would roll down. Even if they were beaten back
The enemy attacked the city for the first time and had a huge impact on morale.
Behind Amy, Chi Aotian, who was dressed in black all the way to the ground, quietly turned out, and his cold tone immediately turned the warm spring back to the cold winter: "According to the laws of the Imperial Military Department, during war, all military and paramilitary forces belong to the highest military authority in the area.
The commander dispatches. Those who disobey orders will only have one fate."
"Is there such a thing? I don't know!" Linka's blue-green eyes suddenly narrowed, and his white hands subconsciously held the long sword tightly.
"3!" Chi Aotian suddenly said a number from his pursed thin lips, and his black eyes drooped to look at the wings of his nose coldly.
"I must go back and ask the city lord for his opinion!" Rather than respecting the city lord, Linka's performance at this time was more of a provocation to the authority of his immediate superior. Most of the knight team were the heirs of local nobles. In their understanding
Among them, ordinary civilians are just servants of the family, and it is not worth it for these residents.
"2!" The boy in black didn't seem to expect a reply at all.
"The duty of the city lord's knight squad is to guard the city lord and the city, not to assist in defense-" Linka's voice was interrupted by the sound of a long sword being unsheathed.
"You..." The young aristocratic head was oppressed by the younger man's momentum. The cold crisis deeply stung his nerves. The knight's sword was also drawn out of its sheath, and several knights behind him also quickly drew out their swords.
sword.
"1!" The last number came out from the slightly dry lips of the boy in black.
Holding a long sword in his hand and surrounded by several subordinates, Count Linka felt a little more confident: "I am an imperial noble. If you dare to stab me, you will be punished by the Imperial Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Military..."
Chi Aotian's slender eyes narrowed slightly, and the black long sword drew a streak of lightning in the air and stabbed Linka's chest.
Although he was personally threatened, a high-ranking Earl like him could not believe that someone actually dared to assassinate him in front of the public. In a panic, the long sword vibrated hard to block the sharp tip of the black lightning. Two people on both sides
The knights immediately stood up side by side and used their shoulders to protect their superiors behind them.
The speed of the black lightning suddenly accelerated, and the sword tip vibrated rapidly across the swords of the two knights. A white mark suddenly appeared on the right side of the neck of the knight on the left. After a moment of pause, blood spurted out from the white mark.
The plate armor sprayed with blood was embossed with a baron title symbol that was at least a hundred years old. The knight covered his wound in horror and couldn't believe that the sword was real. He wanted to say something to Chi Aotian. Black
The long sword cut off the main artery and throat at the same time. The dying man had lost the right to speak, and large balls of blood sprayed out from his mouth. After a few breaths, the knight's tall body fell to the ground.
The knight on the right seemed to be luckier. At this time, he also burst into heart-rending screams. Four fingers and the long sword fell to the ground at the same time. The broken fingers twisted on the ground and soon turned white.
The murderer obviously didn't want this to be just a warning. He strode forward, his body sank suddenly, and the black sword passed through the armpit of the knight on the right, pierced the vest under Count Linka's right rib, and then stabbed out with the sword.
With the provocation and withdrawal, Earl Linka's body was lifted up into the air. The guards behind him were frightened by the scene just now and ran away in panic. The Earl fell to the wall. When his body slipped from the wall, he had already lost his strength.
the meaning of rescue.
The long black sword was flipped into its sheath, and the cold voice of the young man in black sounded again: "According to wartime regulations, anyone who disobeys orders will be killed!"
His black eyes coldly glanced at the still alive guards of the city lord's knights, not paying attention to the liquid dripping under the armor of the knight who had just severed his finger. As if nothing had happened, the boy dodged behind Amy again.
Not only the knights of Duanbing Port, but also the many mercenaries of the small mercenary group and even the chief officers did not expect that the black-clothed boy's methods were so violent that Amy and Daqingshan had no chance to stop.
The knight had fallen dead.
Amy took a deep breath. At this time, it was superfluous to say anything about this matter. Moreover, Chi Aotian was indeed executing in accordance with the wartime regulations of the Imperial Military Department.
Relevant troops were mobilized quickly, and the elf archers on the city wall had begun shooting green arrows at the werewolves.
