Chapter 60 This guy feels extremely strong just by standing there

After the losses, the number of people on the opposite side was still more than twice that of our side. Now they were all pressing forward. Standing in the crowd, Taner still felt like he was being shaken.

The troops wading across the water seemed to merge into the stream, washing away their own lines.

Now many places of Taner's armor have been deflated, and many places have been pierced, leaving wounds on Taner's iron tower-like body.

Taner's blood is also bright red, but its temperature is much higher than that of others.

As the battle intensified, the temperature grew higher and higher.

Taner is the highest-ranking paladin of the Torch Church. After baptism, his body has surpassed that of ordinary people, and the blood flowing in his body can even turn into flames.

After the front line was torn apart and the two sides engaged in a melee, Taner drew the two-handed sword behind him and began to swing the sword at close range.

If one person faces dozens of soldiers, even the highest-level professionals are at risk of falling.

Facing arrows and spears, even though the top professionals are no longer mortals, they are still flesh and blood after all.

The body is definitely not as strong as gold and iron. It can bleed and die.

However, in the battle, when both sides are caught in a melee and cannot concentrate their fire, the effect that the strength of the top professionals can bring will be magnified.

At least these soldiers would be killed in an instant when facing Taner, who had a figure like an iron tower and was wearing advanced armor.

As the battle continued, Taner's silver and black armor had been thoroughly stained with blood, and his own blood was already emitting steam as it dripped.

Some of them even turned into orange-yellow flames and burned before they even hit the ground.

But it was not noticeable, at least Taner himself didn't notice it.

Since he became the highest-ranking paladin, he has been on the bench because he has always questioned certain doctrines of the Torch Church.

He had good remuneration and was treated well in every aspect, but he was not given any work to do, so he came up with the idea of ​​going undercover.

Now that he has successfully gone undercover, he is not sure whether he is still an undercover agent.

At least before going undercover, he had never thought about having to fight in the battlefield, but if he had to say if he regretted anything, it was definitely not.

Blood oozed from the wound, flowing along the lines of the armor until it dripped into the stream.

There were nearly two thousand people bleeding here like him.

Taner had never felt so alive.

Avoiding the sword's attack, Taner's two-handed sword quickly leaped in his hand, cutting the enemy in front of him into two pieces from the shoulder, to the chest, to the heart, and then to the waist.

Just when he was looking for the next enemy, he discovered that the enemy had already fled.

Taner looked at the bloodstained soldiers around him and ordered calmly, "No need to chase."

There will be losses in pursuit, and the lord will not pay more commissions for expanding the victory, and the previous agreement did not calculate the money based on the number of people.

Those mercenaries of Marquis Green Leaf who survived and escaped will probably remember this morning for the rest of their lives, facing an army with only a little more than one-third of their own number.

Arrows rained down again and again, and the spearmen on the river bank never retreated.

There is also this knight who is like an iron tower, holding a two-handed giant sword.

The knight stood there like a city wall.

At least now no one would think that Taner was a paladin, except for a certain messenger of the Torch Church who was hesitating whether to come and recognize him.

Ever since the messenger of the Torch Church heard that the top paladin Taner had come to the Black and Brown Territory, he followed him all the way there. After arriving in the Black and Brown Territory, he inquired about other matters and then joined the Feng Rang Mercenary Group.

He could recognize this set of Torch Church's highest-level paladin armor from a distance. Although Taner cleverly painted it black, there were no other changes.

Although as an ordinary member of this mercenary group, he had few opportunities to test Taner, but he could still confirm that Taner was probably just lost, rather than betraying his beliefs.

After thinking about it, he decided to step forward and ask. When he was in the Torch Church, he and Taner had met several times. He really didn't want to believe that such an upright and kind Paladin would betray the Torch Church for no reason.

The other side.

The strategy of the Black and Brown Count was only half successful. In his opinion, since the conflict had already occurred and peace could not be restored, the opportunity could not be missed.

He originally thought that he could send a small part of the army to block the main force of Marquis Green Leaf's army, and then lead his army directly to Marquis Green Leaf's base camp and capture him alive.

Unexpectedly, this Count Green Leaf was betting on both sides. After sending a large number of mercenaries to the front line to confront Taner, he also kept the elite cavalry by his side. Although they could not defeat the Count Black and Brown's troops, escape was not a problem.

In this way, the Marquis of Green Leaf's cavalry protected him as he fled, and the Earl of Black and Brown chased him all the way, but in the end he still failed to catch up.

After all, the Marquis of Green Leaf was more familiar with his territory. After many twists and turns, he successfully escaped the pursuit of the Earl of Black and Brown.

As a result, the Black and Brown Earl had no choice but to plunder and retreat. He could not directly occupy the territory of the Green Leaf Marquis, which would have directly become the fuse leading to the outbreak of a full-scale war, although it has almost come to that point now.

But as the second prince's brother-in-law, Count Black and Brown still could not be the first to start a war.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

However, a lot of the losses could be recovered through robbery. As for what the robbed villagers and citizens would think, that was not within Earl Black and Brown's consideration. All the nobles in the world did the same.

Now that he had paid the mercenaries' commissions, he still had quite a bit of surplus.

The Black and Brown Earl, who was in a good mood, took the battle report from his men and was so surprised that he almost couldn't hold it. Those mercenaries and conscripts who could be considered abandoned and used to delay the main forces of the Marquis of Green Leaf actually won the battle.

It seems that we must re-examine this Taner and the Crescent Leader behind him. His combat quality is so exaggerated. If we really break into an all-out civil war and let him lead the army, the combat effectiveness of the army will definitely become much stronger, even doubled.

And according to Taner, he is not the leader yet, and the leader of their Crescent Moon Territory is someone else.

If a civil war really breaks out, Earl Black and Brown feels that he can completely seal off the Crescent Territory.

In peacetime, the number of nobles needs to be strictly controlled because there are too many monks and too little meat, but now, the Black and Brown Earl feels that the Crescent Territory is fully worthy of Taner and the people behind him.

The prerequisite is that the second prince can really obtain the throne, and then he just needs to mention it.

The aristocratic system of this world is very magical. To confer a new title of nobility, and a real title of nobility, the consent of both the king and the Council of Nobles is required. But after the title is conferred, the noble will only be responsible to his own lord.

At least that's the case on the surface. If the Crescent Territory appoints a new baron, he only needs to be responsible to the Black and Brown Earl, and not to the king.

Classic My vassal's vassal is not my vassal.

…

In Crescent Moon Territory, at the hideout, Rand was supervising the production of disinfectant gauze and alcohol. It was possible to develop distilled alcohol with the current technology, but the efficiency was very low and the yield was also poor.

I don’t know when he will be able to recruit some alchemy apprentices and have his own alchemy workshop.

Olenna walked in, looked at Rand, and said, "Baron Lakehead has sent another threatening letter, saying that if we don't bring our treasure and beg for mercy, he will gather an army to destroy us."

"What is he going to do now?" Rand frowned. Why was this baron still haunting him?

Olenna explained: "Maybe they want to unite with the nearby nobles, or hire mercenaries."

Rand frowned. The hideout was about to be harvested in autumn, and the training of those magic steel soldiers was still in progress. If Baron Huyuan attacked, it would be difficult to deal with him.

There will be more updates tomorrow, but it should be around 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, so please read it quickly, as Tuesday is the time to decide your grades! Thank you for your support!
