Chapter 174: Encirclement and Entry (200 monthly tickets plus more this month)
"Contract, contract, quickly build up the vehicle array!"
"Boys, take up your weapons, put on your armor, and proceed as per the drill."
"Don't worry about your enemies, they are just a bunch of poor people infected with the beast virus. They are not that powerful.
But remember, don't let them bite you, and don't let their blood enter your body."
"Hurry up, move quickly!"
Sike Francis rode his enormous Shire horse in circles around the crowd, his roaring voice reaching the ears of every mercenary.
It seemed like he was chattering endlessly, but he was actually telling everyone that he was still there and that his mercenary leader was with them.
So, at his urging, the mercenaries sped up their actions.
The carts loaded with supplies were still surrounding the perimeter, with shields blocking as much of the open space as possible.
There were also spears sticking out from the gaps, some held horizontally, and some directly inserted into the ground, pointing obliquely to the sky.
From the outside, it looks like a hedgehog.
All the horses were pulled into the chariot formation and gathered together. There were also some non-combatants here.
The remaining mercenaries put on their armor as quickly as possible, gripped their weapons and shields, and swallowed a few mouthfuls of dry food and water to replenish their strength.
Of course there were also archers. They all climbed to the highest place, drew their bows and arrows, waiting for orders at any time.
All of this may seem tedious, but for the mercenaries, it seems to be ingrained in their bones and is done at an extremely fast speed.
At least, when the wolves rushed to the front, the chariot formation was almost complete.
At the only gap, Six Francis jumped off his Shire horse, patted the horse's butt and let it go in.
Captain Sik stood at the entrance, holding his battle axe.
Compared to the entire chariot formation, this is the easiest place to break through, but with him there, this will also be the most intense place in the entire battlefield.
Until this moment, his resounding voice once again resounded throughout the battlefield: "Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group!"
He was answered with a unified voice: "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
The sound of "war" dispelled the fear in the mercenaries' hearts and gave rise to infinite courage.
It was at this time that the first wolf beast finally arrived.
Awooo!
With a howl, it leaped up, and its strong body allowed it to leap several meters high, and it was about to cross the line of vehicles and enter them to start a massacre.
But with a "whoosh", an arrow accurately pierced its throat and penetrated its brain, turning its howl into a whimper and directly ending the wolf's life.
But this is just the beginning!
More wolves leaped up and pounced from all directions, as if there was no end.
It was at this moment that the spears moved.
This is a spear specially prepared for chariot formations. It is five meters long, and the spear head has a sharp edge and several blood grooves.
Once the stab hits the target, blood will spurt out like a fountain, back and forth.
However, it is too long and is not suitable for single-player combat, and ordinary mercenaries cannot lift it.
It can be matched with a car array to produce excellent results.
Those mercenaries did not stab blindly, but instead accurately found the enemy through the holes and then thrust their spears with all their strength.
Even the human army and the less organized serf soldiers would be stabbed again and again and become like a candied haws.
What's more, although these wolves are agile, they are filled with the desire to kill and have no brains.
Of course, there were also those who were strong enough to pass through the archer and spear camps and land in the center.
At this time, it was those neatly-armored mercenaries who took action.
Shield defense and axe strike, these seem like simple moves, but you can defend first and then attack, and you can always take advantage of the gap between the wolf's attacks and chop it in half.
You have to admit that Sik Francis is an axe warrior after all, and he shouldn't be too familiar with the heavy armor warrior's moves.
The heavily armored axe warriors he assembled were truly powerful in close combat, with the power to crush dry weeds and rotten wood.
Even so, this was still based on the fact that everyone was very concerned about the "beast virus" and was unable to completely let go.
Of course, if you want to say where the battle was the most intense, it would have to be at the entrance, where too many wolves gathered.
But the most wolves died here!
Captain Xike's body was surrounded by milky white fighting spirit, like a flame, dancing fiercely, and also blocking all the attacks of the wolf beasts.
Although his attack frequency seemed slow, each axe was full of power.
One after another, the Dou Qi slashed horizontally, vertically, diagonally, and then changed direction and swept diagonally...
With each strike, the fighting spirit slash could extend for a hundred meters. Wherever it passed, the wolf beasts were cut in half like tofu dregs. It was really powerful.
At this time, Luo Yi was standing on the carriage, his pupils turned into eagle eyes, looking at the entire battlefield.
He was a little nervous at first, but after a while, his expression relaxed.
How to say it?
This "beast transformation virus" is indeed special. It can transform humans into beastmen, which is incredible.
However, if it is just a simple beast virus, it is nothing to take seriously!
Because, humans turned into wolves, with sharp claws and fangs, and their movements were swift enough,
However, they also lost their wisdom and the ability to use armor and weapons.
How can a flesh and blood body compare to steel weapons? In a head-on fight, they only look fierce, but are really not as good as fully armed mercenaries.
Of course, this is only the case when facing the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group, who are extremely vigilant and well prepared.
If it were those villages and towns, with the cover of darkness, you can imagine how much chaos this wolf beast could cause.
At this time, Lilia also stood up. She glanced at it and her expression was extremely grim: "In the empire, this beast virus has long been banned. Once discovered, it will be eliminated immediately.
We must trace back to its source and completely eradicate it, leaving no one behind."
"I never thought that we could become a bandit gang here openly and honestly?"
"Doesn't the nobles here care? Doesn't he know the dangers of this beast virus?"
"How do you know they don't know? Maybe they did this on purpose?"
As Luo Yi said this, he looked towards the direction of the mountain. As he gazed into the distance, his eagle eyes suddenly shrank, as if he saw something.
At this time, the battlefield changed again!
Although the wolf beast had lost most of its rationality, it was still afraid. At this time, it whimpered continuously and its momentum of charging was not as strong.
Captain Xike was keenly aware of the changes. Without hesitation, he took out a conch, howled, and began to blow it.
So, a group of cavalrymen who were originally in formation began to move.
There were not many of them, only about twenty or so, but they were skilled in archery and horsemanship. They were also wearing armor and their horses were also covered with a layer of chain mail.
So, when Captain Sik made way, they formed a spearhead formation and rushed out.
The leader was the captain of the mercenary cavalry, a second-level official knight. When charging, the knight's sword in his hand was like a sickle, harvesting the enemies.
They circled around the chariot formation and killed only two rounds, basically clearing out all the approaching wolves and beasts, and clearing an area.
Then they changed direction and headed towards the places where there were many wolves and beasts.
They are also looking for the wolf king of this pack of wolves!
Although they were transformed into wolf beasts due to the beast virus, both humans and wolves are actually used to having a leader.
If there were no wolf king to command, these wolves would have been frightened and fled in all directions.
However, this wolf king is very good at hiding and is even more cunning. He can actually blend in with ordinary wolves and beasts without revealing his whereabouts.
Following closely behind the cavalry were the heavy infantry.
With their armor fully equipped and shields held upright, they entered the forest and advanced step by step. Even if there were wolves and beasts that wanted to attack, they would be hacked to death by the swords.
Behind the heavy infantry followed a group of archers.
They finally chose to attack, and they all freely chose their targets and carried out targeted shooting.
It is obvious that Captain Xike is not a good-tempered person. He is called a "barbarian". If he has a good temper, it would be a miracle.
So, seeing that the battle was already decided, he immediately organized his men and prepared to capture all these beastmen in one fell swoop.
at the same time,
On top of the mountain,
Standing there was Viscount Zoe Evans, the Boar, a fat man with a big beard and wearing a full set of knight's plate armor.
He gripped a monocular between his stubby fingers, looking at the battle below, muttering uncontrollably, "Who said this beast virus is effective?"
"Who said this Mad Wolf Bandit Group is powerful?"
"They couldn't even cause any trouble. They're just trash! A bunch of trash!"
"Being alive is a waste of food. Die! Die!"
“Butler, butler!”
He shouted rudely. The butler stepped out and saluted respectfully: "My Lord Viscount, what are your orders?"
"Get my Boar Knights ready, it's time for us to take the stage!"
"yes!"
…
Below,
Seeing that the Dragon and Beauty Mercenaries were getting farther and farther away, Loy jumped off the carriage and first said a few words to Oliveira and Angel.
Then, he quickly came to Xike Francis and said, "Captain Xike, give the order quickly and get everyone back!"
Xike frowned slightly: "Sir Luo Yi, I'm afraid you don't understand war.
Now is the best time to achieve victory. If we let those beastmen escape into the mountains and forests, I'm afraid they will cause us considerable trouble."
Luo Yi said helplessly: "Captain Xike, I may not understand war, but I know that these beastmen are nothing!
Our real enemy has just arrived!"
At this time, at the end of the road between the two mountains, where it was out of sight, another roar was heard.
That was the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground, like thunder, and there were countless of them, causing the entire earth to tremble.
At this moment, Xike's expression changed. He picked up the conch horn and blew it as fast as he could.
Woo woo woo!
At the sound of the horn, the cavalry and heavy infantry that were chasing after them heard the order. Although they were a little confused, they still turned around quickly and retreated.
And behind them, the first knight appeared.
Triple heavy armor, horse and centaur equipment, knight's sword, round shield, like a moving steel fortress.
Then, there was the second rider, the third rider, the fourth rider, and so on, until there were more and more.
The Viscount Wild Boar actually came straight over with his knights to kill us!
Sorry, it's really too late today, my bad.
Tomorrow, I must try to get up early...
