Chapter 85 Tanner and Fenris, fighting (800 additional chapters)
It was five days later when Rand met the Black and Brown Earl again. The cavalry of six or seven hundred people had lost more than a hundred people, and now there were only about five or six hundred people.
The black and brown earl dismounted and walked up to Rand: "The Third Prince's Second Legion is in front, ready to engage the enemy."
Rand had played with the elves to his heart's content in the past few days, but he stopped in time when they entered the war zone.
After all, it would be too embarrassing if the soldiers were dying on the battlefield while the beauties were still singing and dancing in the tent.
It’s a pity that Olena suffers.
Rand immediately ordered the march to stop and adjust the spacing between the troops.
If it is a well-trained strong army, then the transition from marching state to combat state will be very fast, but obviously, the Second Prince's 5th Legion Infantry commanded by Rand is not among them. If they do not stop marching in advance, they will become a group of scattered sand.
Although Rand felt that setting up the formation in advance might not be of any use, the quality was too poor.
During this period, Rand was barely able to command this army by constantly placing his own people there, but he had no idea what would happen if a fight broke out.
After the black-brown earl and Rand finished their instructions, they walked around the marching team.
His expression suddenly became one of surprise. It seemed that his guess was correct. This was definitely a senior talent of the Torch Church who could actually command this infantry regiment that was not even worth a ton of mud.
When he led the cavalry unit to fight against the legion sent by the Third Prince in the front, he had seen their infantry regiment. In comparison, the infantry regiment of the 5th Legion, which looked insignificant, actually felt like a strong force.
At least the 2,500 people classified by Rand as frontal combat troops looked presentable and were standing in a fairly orderly manner.
With such command and military management capabilities, it seems like they have really found a treasure. The Torch Church is actually willing to send such a talent to the north to seek development opportunities.
Maybe he really is an illegitimate child, otherwise with him in charge of the church headquarters, the military strength of the Torch Church would definitely be much stronger.
After strolling around, the black-brown earl walked up to Rand and said, "I will be responsible for stopping the enemy's cavalry, and if possible, defeating their infantry."
Rand nodded, and then watched the Black and Brown Count lead the cavalry and leave the infantry regiment again.
To be honest, Rand still admired the Black and Brown Count very much. The previous confrontation between the cavalry was very dangerous. In a short period of time, more than a hundred people in the cavalry regiment had died. Many of the petty nobles who were still familiar to him had never appeared again. It was estimated that their bodies were thrown into some corner.
It seems that the black and brown earl is the kind of person who leads by example. It turns out that the nobles in the north still have some bravery flowing in their blood.
It's a pity that these nobles obviously don't have the ability to manage regular infantry. In this way, Baron Huyuan is still a talent. His infantry is much better than the garbage in Rand's hands now.
Soon they came face to face with the enemy. Now there was a special platform for Rand to stand on, so that he could have a better view of the whole situation. He didn't have to stand on Taner's shoulders like in the early days.
Seeing the opposing troops, Rand felt a lot more at ease. It was obvious that the opposing troops were also a bunch of garbage.
In front of the battle, Taner glanced at Fenris and said, "You don't have to join the battle."
"What, you dislike me?" Fenris adjusted his weapon. He was a pure agile type. Strictly speaking, he was still one step away from the top level, but in fact he was quite restrained against heavy armored warriors like Taner.
However, on the battlefield, the agile form did not have much room to dodge. When Lin's spears pressed down, there was no room to move.
This is why Tanr said this to Fenris.
“You can make a difference somewhere else.”
"For example, helping you cover up the fact that you joined a cult?" Fenris sneered again.
"Do you think this is a cult?" Taner asked.
"Indeed, apart from the reaction of the ritual vessel, nothing else can indicate that this is a cult." Fenris spoke the truth, "But it seems that the Rand envoy has already seen that you are a member of the Torch Church?"
"Didn't you say before that you joined here through undercover means?" Fenris continued, "Then why didn't you change the style of your armor?"
Taner showed an angry expression: "I thought the knights' armor styles were all the same."
"Aren't you afraid that your identity will be revealed and there will be no place for you here?"
"No way." Taner shook his head firmly, "Even if my identity is discovered, it won't matter."
"Then I will report you?" Fenris sneered.
"I was wrong." Taner apologized decisively, and then rolled his eyes. The expression on his honest face was indeed a little funny: "Do you want to join us?"
Fenris was about to answer when he saw Tanr staring ahead and no longer paying attention to him.
Meet the enemy.
Since it was a skirmish, Rand had no chance to choose the terrain, but at least thanks to the reminder from the Black and Brown Count, the formation was deployed during the battle.
Originally, Rand's strategy was to use cannon fodder to consume the opponent, but the opponent didn't even have a formation, and just rushed over with a group of soldiers who were not sure whether they could be considered soldiers.
Therefore, he changed his strategy without hesitation, and directly pushed the Xianzhen Camp to the front, and then immediately sent one-fifth of the frontal combat troops.

The people on the opposite side almost collapsed at the first blow. The farmer, who had no training to begin with, quickly collapsed and began to flee when faced with the death of his comrades.
However, the commander of the opposing side was not a loser. He had obviously anticipated this situation. The front and rear lines were far apart, so he was not directly destroyed by the backlash of the defeated army.
But the problem is that his backline isn't much better.
Rand ordered the pursuit to stop, waved the flag, and ordered the archers to release their arrows.
Then he decisively ordered to stop shooting.
Originally, Rand was very happy because the opponent was obviously worse than himself.
Then I saw how messed up our own side was.
After the first wave of engagement and victory, many people became blood-thirsty and ignored orders and just chased after them.
As for archers, they cannot be called archers, because many archers lack skills and are either scratched by the bowstrings or shoot arrows very off-center. Some even shoot their teammates on the forehead.
Not to mention that many people in the front line rushed over to chase, and thus got mixed up with the people on the opposite side.
Fortunately, the archer unit was relatively close to Rand, and at the call of the grassroots officers, they finally stopped shooting.
I thought I had won a great victory, but now it seems there is still a long way to go.
It's just outrageous. I feel like if I caught a group of college students in modern times, they would be better at fighting than these people.
It's really a comparison of the worst.
The other side quickly defeated Rand's pursuers, and then the two armies began to confront each other.
But Rand discovered a more serious problem. He felt that the blessing of the God of Struggle was trembling again. It seemed that for the God of Struggle, even if there was no altar and no sacrificial prayers, as long as there was a conflict, especially such a large-scale bloody conflict, it was equivalent to offering a sacrifice to Him.
