Lord of War

113. Leaving the Trading Capital

Sean couldn't figure out what the White Wing Mercenary Group's plan was for doing this, and what did they need on their side?

But he couldn't figure it out for the time being, so Sean ignored it, and Alfred and he focused on the barbarians in the Northland for the time being. The formation of the two troops has been completed for the time being. There are 2,000 shield spearmen and 2,000 archers. Among the remaining 3,000 people, there are more than 1,000 old people and nearly 2,000 children. Children are easier to say, unless they are very young, they can basically fight with weapons. As for the elderly, although they can also fight, Sean has never considered letting the old people go up to fight.

The old men of the barbarians in the north are actually people who are only over fifty years old. Although their physical abilities have gradually declined, they can still be used as reserve soldiers with weapons. It's hard to live past sixty. It's just because of some psychological problems, Xiao En didn't intend to let these old people fight the enemy at all, and of course the same is true for the younger children, but it's no problem to let them help with transporting soldiers and so on.

The story of the Red Gordek's men asking Sean for a duel, but being rejected and thrown out of the camp, spread wildly throughout the Sidings Oasis half an hour later.

Obviously, this is also an arrangement of someone with a heart.

It's just that Xiao En and the others are in no mood to pay attention to these things at this time, and the products from the legendary fire hammer are being delivered continuously. Although these equipments are all high-quality equipment, they are still very common equipment. There are even many mercenaries and mercenary regiments in the trading capital who use high-quality equipment. The barbarians of the North were only surprised to be equipped with weapons of this level.

But when people finally saw bundles of enchanted armor-piercing iron cone arrows being transported by trucks, many people could no longer keep calm. They were still hesitating, and the claws that were stretched out tentatively finally seemed to see Like some terrible creature, it quickly retracted.

Armor-piercing iron cone arrow, one of the signatures of the legendary fire hammer.

Armor-piercing arrows are a general term for arrows that can damage armor to a certain extent. The most common ones are three-edged armor-piercing arrows and dense scale armor-piercing arrows.

The former is a little longer than ordinary arrows. The arrow is heavier, with barbs and three notches. It can easily shoot through armor such as leather armor, scale armor, and light armor at a distance of less than 500 meters. Armor such as heavy plate armor and heavy armor has almost no armor-piercing ability. The dense scale armor-piercing arrow is modified on the basis of the three-edged armor-piercing arrow. Although it can be regarded as an improvement, due to the reduction in materials and costs, dense scale armor-piercing arrows can only cause relatively large damage to leather armor and chain mail, and the damage to scale armor is relatively average, while armor of a level above light armor can cause relatively large damage. Armor is almost useless.

In addition to these two most common armor-piercing arrows, there is another armor-piercing arrow that is also well-known, and that is the one developed by the Legendary Fire Hammer Business Association based on the improvement of the three-edged armor-piercing arrow and the dense scale armor-piercing arrow. A brand new armor-piercing arrow. The arrow weight of this armor-piercing arrow is twice that of the heavy arrow. The arrow is conical and has a spiral texture. It is shot by a projectile method and even has a bonus in terms of lethality. It has an effective range of 500 meters. Inside, even heavy armor is completely unable to resist such arrows.

But because of the expensive materials used, and the need for hand-polishing and fine carving of the arrows by dwarven blacksmiths, the price of this armor-piercing iron cone arrow is extremely expensive. If it is not necessary, no one will use this kind of arrows to fight, not to mention the two enchanting effects of "sharpness" and "swiftness", which greatly strengthen the power of these armor-piercing iron cone arrows.

Even if the northern barbarians don't know anything about archery, as long as they can shoot arrows out, it is enough to pose a fatal threat to heavy infantry. What's more, most of the teams gathered here in the Seddings Oasis are slave hunting teams rather than mercenary legions that specialize in wars to earn coins, so it is even more impossible to have heavy infantry. The cost is not something ordinary people can afford.

Two days may not be long or short, but the delivery of Sean and the Legendary Fire Hammer has finally been completed.

And at this time, Sidings Oasis will still care about the people in Sean's team, only the red Godek and the White Wing mercenary group hidden in the dark are left. As for the other forces, most of them are too lazy to continue to pay attention to this hedgehog who is obviously in sheep's clothing. Only some forces that feel the need to continue collecting information on Xiao En are still working tirelessly.

late at night.

A large number of northern barbarians were awakened, and they seemed to know what they were going to do next. After waking up, everyone began to gather quietly, and no one made a sound. When almost all the barbarians in the camp were awakened, Cecilia and Hina finally got out of the carriage and joined the team of the barbarians. Two female barbarians took the two petite children To hug up.

Everyone is already ready.

The shield spearmen were scattered at the outermost periphery. Although they were holding half shields and long spears, they walked around without making any noise, as quiet as a leopard. As for the archers, they held bows in their hands, long swords around their waists, and a quiver on their backs. Each quiver contained forty arrows. The remaining 20,000 ordinary arrows and the 10,000 enchanted broken The armored iron cone arrows were carried by other northern barbarian children.

The whole team, in this extremely quiet atmosphere, took advantage of the cover of night to leave the camp.

As early as when he entered the Seddings Oasis, Sean had already considered these escape routes, so when choosing a rental camp, Sean chose as far as possible from the Seddings Oasis as far as possible. Because in the capital of trade, there has never been a so-called day and night, and there are always more people awake than sleeping, so staying away from the crowd as much as possible has become an important goal for Xiao En in choosing a camp.

Afterwards, using the cover of carriages and tents, there was no fire in the camp. Unless someone had dark vision, it would be absolutely impossible to detect Xiao En's upcoming actions. His strength is not particularly strong at the moment. If he blatantly leaves the trading capital, he is likely to be targeted by those who want to. Once he leaves the order-restricted zone of the trading capital, all kinds of battles will no longer be affected by trade. jurisdiction of the capital.

Therefore, any convoy heading to the capital of trade must be equipped with strong enough guards, and no one wants to be eaten as a piece of fat by those guest robbers, bandit mercenaries, or mercenary groups. As for Sean, it was really because he had no other choice, so he ventured into the trading capital. Originally, according to his idea, after establishing a mercenary group, it would take at least three to four years before he would shift his focus to the trading capital. here.

But right now, let's just have a face-to-face meeting to get acquainted.

Sean thought so.

...

Also on this night, a huge team was also quietly moving on the Gobi wasteland. Judging from the number of people, this team has at least more than 3,000 people. They wear black and white light armor, ride horses, and their weapons are basically uniform. When marching, the team maintains a chilling silence. Led by a few people who looked like generals, they were rushing towards the south.

In the distance, dust rose slightly.

A general shouted suddenly: "Stop."

The sound was particularly shocking in this silent night. There was a slight commotion in the team behind the general. Although it stopped quickly, it still made the general frown slightly, feeling a little disapproving of these riders in his heart.

"No wonder they can only be people in the peripheral reserves."

Of course, he didn't say this. As a qualified general, he would never say such words that would damage the morale of his army. He just looked up at the place where the dust rose in front of him, but at this time, there was a commotion from the team behind him, which made his frown deepen. Disciplinary, already very dissatisfied.

He even felt that given him two thousand soldiers from the regular army, he could easily complete this task. However, he also knew that the upper management actually wanted to take this opportunity to train their soldiers well. After all, in a place like the trading capital, it was really rare to find a team that could be used for training. In fact, if it weren't for a very important person in the opponent's team this time, it would be impossible for the White Wing Mercenary Corps to do such a dishonorable thing. can be found.

Of course, in this way, it is naturally impossible to choose the location of the battle within the scope of the trade capital. At least he had to be far enough away from the trading capital before he could do anything, and what he had to do now was to find out where the opponent's marching route was.

Soon, several riders ran towards the place where the dust rose.

"General, as you expected, the other party did leave the camp in the dark tonight."

The general looked up at the night, it was dark and moonless, and there was a strong wind howling, it was indeed a very suitable night to cover up the sound. Then he took out the map he was carrying with him, unfolded it, and said, "Do you know which direction the other party is going?"

"According to the direction, it should be the Principality of Ryan."

"Is the Principality of Ryan?" The general's eyes fell back to the map, and he began to look away as he moved his fingers on the map until his fingers stopped at the edge of a wasteland and forest, "There are so many of them, Ryan The Principality will not let these people enter the territory casually, so their ultimate possibility should be to bypass the border and infiltrate into the Principality of Ryan through Burles Forest. Although we don’t know the reason why the other party is going to the Principality of Ryan, but we will Let's lay an ambush in the forest...William, what do you think?"

A drowsy man lying on the horseback lazily said after hearing the general's voice: "Your Excellency is wise." (To be continued. If you like this work, You are welcome to subscribe, reward, your support is my biggest motivation.)【】
