"Go home!" The crowd cheered. Nine days after leaving the Fortress of Thor, everyone finally stepped into the area of ​​Fernando City, and the ground at the foot gradually disappeared from the grass, replaced by dark land, a road leading straight into the distance, as long as you travel along this road for another day, just I can see the walls of the imperial capital.
In these nine days, the orcs launched at least six chases, but each time the number did not exceed 8,000, and the total number was less than 40,000. The human army does not count the more than 20,000 obedient soldiers, but the number of infantry and cavalry is almost the same. Every time, waiting for work, arranging the phalanx with superior strength to fight the orcs, the victory is easy, and there are few casualties, Human warriors used these battles to increase their combat effectiveness, and an elite army gradually took shape.
Jonas's heart fluctuated, he did not expect that he had commanded this day, there was no suppression above, and he didn't have to think about too many things outside the battlefield, he just had to put his mind on the military, set up, face up, Intersect, fight together, and annihilate Although this newly reorganized legion is nominally a defeated soldier of the Thor Fortress, Jonas knows that this is the most cohesive and combative legion he has brought since his army.
All this comes from the young little magician. It is this magician named Lane that gave these defeated soldiers and civilians a chance to escape and avoid being slaughtered by orcs. On the way, Lane did not shoot again. But he has been riding on the horse, wandering in the human square, giving these human soldiers the greatest spirit.
"Ryan, we are going home." Jonas couldn't help saying, "I don't know what General Orlando will do with us."
Ryan smiled in his heart. He had guessed what Jonas said. Whether it was Faras or his Ryan himself, they had a very special relationship with Orlando. Now the Thor ’s Fortress falls, and both Keenster and Clark are killed. When the soldiers defeated by the Thor's fortress form a new legion, Jonas is at the forefront in terms of seniority and merit.
"It's too early to think about it." Ryan was reluctant to get involved. Besides, he didn't have a position in the army at all. Even if he became the spiritual leader of this army of broken troops, his official identity was still The head of the hired mercenary regiment, who really belongs to him, is only Elendo and Flanner. Even Faras, in theory, belongs to the reinforcement sequence.
Jonas was disappointed. Of course, he also knew that it was impossible for Lion to promise him. From the end of Lion ’s Fortress, he just stood quietly. When he was needed, Lion would appear in the key. The place plays a key role, and once the crisis disappears, Ryan will silently step aside and never participate in the military. Even if he participates in military meetings, Ryan never said much.
Colin and Thomas walked behind immediately, and the two of them would have been fighting each other once they met, but since they became officers of the army under Commander Ryan, the two of them have experienced life and death together, not only no longer each other Seeing the other party is not pleasing to the eye, but the relationship is getting better and better. Rescue each other several times, and it has become a life and death.
"Hey, what are your plans to go back this time?" Colin asked Thomas in a small voice suddenly.
"Speak clearly if you have something, Colin. Don't support me like this."
"Haha, Thomas, you know, according to General Clark's order, we were drawn out and became subordinates of the head, but when we returned to the Imperial City, the new chief might not continue this order. Furthermore, from leaving Thor fortress to now , The head barely managed us, in case "
"Are you a kid who didn't grow up? You still have to control you the other day?" Thomas glanced at Colin and then said with a worried face: "However, most of the character of the head will not join the army. , I ’m not saying bad things about the head. Most people do n’t like being constrained too much. "
"Yeah, what should we do? Let's separate from the head? To be honest, I can take the head to take risks and be a mercenary. If this time it is not the head, it is estimated that one-tenth of these people can come back. And as long as you follow, you do n’t have to worry about "1wap" losing money. If you are reassigned to any idiot general, you may not have such good luck. "
Thomas just wanted to speak. Suddenly there was a slight shock from the far ground. Thomas was shocked. He looked in the direction of the shock. Although it was already afternoon, the west slanting sun was still hot. I don't know much about the west.
The entire convoy stopped, no one was asked, the civilians drove the carriages together, end to end, all the civilians were hiding in the circle formed by the carriages, and as much as possible with shields, boards, etc. Wait to cover your body.
The soldiers formed three phalanxes under the command of General Jonas, protecting the three directions of the convoy, leaving only the east opposite the vibration. The 10,000 cavalry also formed a dense formation, ready to fight at any time.
Ten minutes later, a cavalry force appeared in front of the crowd. The men on the horse were men dressed by herdsmen. They had short bows on their backs and scimitars on their waists. Clay warrior.
Ryan and Jonas glanced at each other. During this nine-day itinerary, I could not see any Clay people along the way. The only camp was abandoned for a long time, and there was nothing left. If it was not that night When he fled, he brought a lot of food, and the entire team may have to spare valuable time to find food.
"Who are you?" Someone in the Clan cavalry suddenly shouted loudly: "Where do you come from? Where do you go?"
Jonas was relieved. He looked back and greeted him. One of his guards immediately greeted him, and ran to shout, "We are the army of the Thor's stronghold. Are you a Clay warrior?"
Those Clay cavalrymen have maintained a fast speed of travel, even if they are talking to Jonas's guard immediately, they have not slowed down at all. When the cavalry came to a distance of about 300 meters from Jonas, the leading soldier suddenly pulled out the short bow on his back and shot a feather arrow.
"Ah!" The guard of Jonas didn't guard, was hit by a single arrow, and fell over. "Enemy attack!" Jonas immediately shouted: "All are ready to fight, sword shield warrior, lift shield! Cavalry, prepare." Before the words fell, seven or eight feather arrows flew towards Jonas.
Ryan jumped hard and rushed towards Jonas from his own horse, and rushed Jonas to the ground. Of the seven or eight feather arrows, several hit the horses, and two hit Lane's back.
"Ah, head!" Colin and Thomas were shocked and quickly jumped off the horse, using the war horse as a cover, and ran quickly towards Ryan's landing.
"Don't move, hide your body!" Ryan climbed up after falling on the ground. His body was covered with a thick layer of stone skin, and the two feather arrows were not shot at all. Bounced off.
"Ah, head, you frightened us." Thomas and Colin immediately stopped walking, using horses to cover the sky's feather arrows. Jonas crawled up from the ground, and if it hadn't been for Ryan, he had already died. "Cavalry charge, charge away from them!" Jonas gave an order angrily.
Under the leadership of the commander, the 10,000 cavalry who had received the order urged the horses to start sprinting. However, as a cavalry, if you want to impact your opponent's position, you must have a long enough running distance and time, otherwise it will not have much effect. The Clay cavalry keeps a distance of about 300 meters from the army of the Thor fortress, which is also the maximum range of the short bow they use.
As soon as the cavalry of the Thor Fortress started, the cavalry of the Clay tribes set off their horses. No matter how the cavalry of the Thor Fortress charged, the horses they controlled always maintained a distance of 300 meters, while the cavalry of the Thor Fortress did not have any protection. The feather arrows shot by the Clay cavalry could not be blocked, and the casualties rose straight.
"Damn it!" Under the protection of the guards, Jonas had entered the infantry phalanx, and safety was guaranteed. It can be seen that the knights of your own side have suffered a great loss, and they can't help but scolded: "These actually attacked us by betrayal!" After a few words of scolding, Jonas turned to his opponent and said, "Sign to let them come back."
After receiving the order, the cavalry units of the Thor's Fortress had no choice but to return, while the cavalry of the Clan clan chased and killed more than 1,000 cavalry. When the cavalry of Thor ’s Fortress entered the infantry square and was protected by the infantry shield, 10,000 people had lost more than 4,000.
The Clay cavalry were originally leaders in the light cavalry. They had little defense, but the horses under the crotch were excellent and good at maneuvering, and every soldier had been riding on horseback since childhood. It can be said to be a natural warrior. These Clay bow cavalry saw the troops of the Thor fortress shrink together, and they all laughed and laughed at them, firing feather arrows around the outside, and 5,000 Clay bow cavalry surrounded more than 40,000 Thunder Fortress. warrior.
Fortunately, there are more than 20,000 obedient soldiers in the Thor Fortress. They are not very good at fighting, but they are very proficient in defense. Under the order of Jonas, these more than 20,000 people are in groups of two, raising a huge The shield blocked the feather arrows. Of course, because of the hasty withdrawal at the time, many equipments were not carried, and many of them basically removed the carriage plates of the carriage, but the effect of this method was very good. The Clay cavalry were shooting. After two bags of feather arrows, there was a roar, and the horse left.
