Reaching the village near the castle, the extreme west of the sunset, the huge volume of the Sunwaya Mountains, even the last sunset is completely covered, and the sky in the shadow is very dim.
Horseshoes hit the rugged dirt road, and bursts of roar interrupted the villagers' beautiful evening.
Kant Zerma is ahead.
Lead the troops to wait quietly at the entrance of the village.
They did not say hello, nor did they make any rude actions, just like using horseshoes as a knocking door, expressing goodwill to the village, and asking travellers to communicate.
It's just that these so-called "travelers" are indeed a bit larger.
The villagers also looked out.
The eyes are full of suspicious looks.
But there is not much fear, after all, this is the famous Avilsburg, the village under the rule of Viscount Gibran, and the arrival of the ordinary mercenary regiments, all respectfully daring not to offend.
Even the gangsters just send out supplementary information, and there will be no more excessive actions.
Soon, there was a reaction in the village.
A group of infantrymen in iron-clad armour, armed with a 4-meter lance, quickly assembled.
Just gathered in the central lane of the village to form the unique lance square of the East County leader. Looking at the skillful appearance, you know that these guys who seem to be armed militia cannot be viewed simply by common sense.
Even Kant secretly nodded: "The training is good."
"That's good." Rolf shrugged.
Looking at the armed militia, his eyes were a little more curious: "Of course, compared to the armed militia of the Northern County, these guys can be regarded as elite infantry under the Lord's hands."
"East County has its own military training system."
Kant said calmly: "It was irrelevant to the Principality of the Lions ten years ago."
He used to be an apprentice of the college. In order to avoid suspicion, he did not read and study any books of extraordinary power, but instead studied the most in cultural history and human geography.
There is a lot to know about the changes in the Eastern County.
Including military.
Kant explained: "This is the infantry training method learned from the Silver Plate Kingdom. He is good at picking up against the cavalry." He looked to Rolf: "If you lead the light cavalry in the future, then be careful. The infantry, the power to deal with cavalry is not weaker than the group of infantry of Rodok."
"Oh, of course, I have compared this group of guys with long rod weapons to the Rhodoks."
Rolf nodded.
His eyes narrowed slightly, he murmured: "Although the desert robbers have trouble dealing with these guys, but as long as they exchange for Mamluks or Swadia heavy cavalry, these better defended heavy cavalry units, even the Luoluo District. Gram spearmen can be defeated, not to mention these ordinary militiamen."
Kant said that the business is a bit stern: "You can still be cautious. According to the method you said, the price-performance ratio is too bad."
Rolf shook his head helplessly: "So I hate long-bar weapons."
What he said naturally relied on heavy cavalry and slammed into the pike phalanx formed by these militiamen, using the most violent and most convenient tactics to directly defeat these militiamen and penetrate their formation.
But the heavy cavalry charge has a reactionary force.
Will cause casualties.
Especially the frontal rushing phalanx.
Even if it can rush in to break down, it will cause a lot of damage.
Except that both sides can use this kind of tactics in breaking battles, if they are used in conventional tentative battles, they will definitely not be used. After all, killing one thousand enemies and 300 self-destructive is not cost-effective.
Therefore, the cost performance is not high.
"4 meter spear."
Kant narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression slightly awkward: "Common infantry, this weapon is not available."
The pikemen need to undergo strict training.
Not all infantry can use lances, as evidenced in history.
Only when the civilization is more advanced and the military and civilians can be trained to be organized, highly disciplined and coordinated can this weapon be used smoothly. Otherwise, it will be a live target that is defeated by the enemy in vain, a turtle shell that is motionless.
And this turtle shell can be easily penetrated as long as it is smashed into the sides and back.
But well-trained is different.
Look at history.
In the ancient Greek city-states of southern Europe, it was a good player using a pike phalanx, and in the hands of Alexander the Great of Macedonia, with the light cavalry, became the pinnacle infantry without any disadvantage.
The traditional melee infantry on the fertile soil of the crescent of the Middle East lost their helmets and disarmed.
The Middle Ages were also dominated by spears.
A similar variant, the Swiss War Halberd, used this tactic to the extreme. Even the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire, the fearful knights, did not dare to rush into the horse.
For example, the French knights dealt with Swiss halberd infantry by dismounting to form a corresponding lance phalanx.
Clear records in history.
Even on the eve of modern times, the Spanish spear phalanx is still daunting.
And in the history of China.
As long as they are elite troops, almost all are pikemen.
Although in China's history the arms are not so finely divided, elite troops can skillfully use long-barrel weapons such as lances and spears, and cooperate with bows and arrows and melee swords.
Therefore, Kant felt a trace of fear in the hearts of these militiamen of the East Jun.
If there is no smart infantry training.
Not so capable!
Rolf also noticed the difference between the East County leaders, so instead of continuing to speak, he turned his eyes and carefully observed the village in front of him and the pikemen who were on alert, with dangerous eyes in his eyes.
As an evil general, he was not without his brain, and he also noticed that something was wrong with Dongjun.
Just in the silence.
In the village, a dozen people came in a hurry.
Headed by a vicissitudesed old man, flanked by wealthy middle-aged people, strong middle-aged people, and dozens of guards, wearing more elaborate iron-inlaid leather armor, holding a round shield and sharpening hand axe.
The village chief, finance officer and sheriff.
"Hello there."
As the elder, the village head is naturally well-informed.
Seeing Kant and the lion knight and lion servant behind him, as well as the elite 500 desert robbers wearing iron-clad armor, they couldn't help but beat slightly faster.
But still holding his mind, after giving a glance to the sheriff next to him, he said: "It's already very late. Your arrival, please forgive us for not being able to receive it."
His attitude is very humble.
Kant didn't mean anything, turned over and dismounted, and walked forward, said calmly: "We want to stay overnight."
"Overnight."
The village chief hesitated slightly.
Obviously, he refused some thoughts to the people in front of Kant.
Although there are elite militiamen who can form a pike phalanx behind them, and more than 200 ordinary peasants are recruited, but if you want to rely on this infantry, you have to resist a cavalry team of more than 500 people, which is somewhat whimsical.
The sheriff's face was also slightly pale, and cold sweat was streaming down the temples.
Now he can't solve it.
If an accident occurs, only Lord Gibran in the castle can handle it.
After all, according to his eyesight, with these strange cavalry teams, especially those fierce eyes of the riders, he can find no less than the vigor of the bandits, or a group of bandits!
"Don't be nervous, old man, we are mercenaries from Nanjun."
Kant sensed their stiff face.
With a slight smile, he said quietly: "When I arrive here, I want to ask the noble lords of the East County leader if they want to hire us. After all, it is near the Sanwaya Mountains. Maybe some alien or demon creatures need to be dealt with."
"Mercenary." The village chief sighed slightly.
But still nervous.
Although it has been shown to be a neutral mercenary, the old village chief can understand that sometimes these mercenaries can be transformed into murderous gangsters at any time when they are short of money or quiet at night.
Bandits and mercenaries often have their identities interchangeable.
"We give money."
Kant chuckled, but the next words interrupted their suspicion: "2 big silver coins, I think it is enough to stay in the drying room outside the village, I think there are only some debris accumulated there now."
"This…"
The village chief looked at the financial officer and the sheriff behind him.
However, the two behind them were secretly pleased when they heard the two big silver coins, and immediately nodded.
"Okay~EbookFREE.me~ The village chief understood this when he saw it.
With a slight cough, he said gently: "This commander, your mercenaries can rest in the grain drying field outside the village. In order to pay tribute to you, you can get well water in our village for free, Of course, if you want some food, you have to add extra money."
After a pause, he felt that his tone seemed to be a little serious, but he still reminded Kant: "This is the domain of the Lord Viscount Gibran. All our income is subject to taxes, so we can't give it to you for free."
"I understand."
Kant nodded with a smile: "It won't embarrass you."
"That's good, that's good."
When the village chief saw this, he was so easy to speak that he was grappling with his beard, and soon left with the finance officer and the sheriff. As a result, the vigilance in the village also dispersed a lot.
There must also be preparedness in the dark, and the militiamen were all vigilantly, not daring to spread out easily.
This is their village.
Is their own home.
A cavalry of this size is camping around. If you are not careful, it is estimated that as long as you take advantage of the difficulties at night, these people will definitely not be able to stop it. If you stick to the aid, you may still be able to insist on the arrival of reinforcements.
After all, near the castle of Avilesburg, Lord Gibran Viscount, anomalies will soon be discovered.
"Set up a temporary camp."
Kant waved his hand and gave the order.
The desert robbers quickly went to the grain drying yard not far away, removed all the debris accumulated on them, and at the same time let the linen tents brought by them open, quickly forming a temporary camp consisting of more than fifty tents.
It was already very dark, and the stars and the moon had already appeared, and a thin tulle was scattered on the earth.
Kant came to the first night of the Eastern County.
