Chapter 48 The Battle Begins
a child?
No, it should be said to be a young child.

He was wearing a military uniform of the Nuolan Empire, holding a sharp dagger in his hand, and the rank of second lieutenant on his shoulder clearly told him that this young boy was an officer of the empire.

"It's ridiculous."

There was a disdainful smile on the corner of Theodore's mouth: "The imperial army is so desperate that it needs to send a young child to the battlefield. It seems that only young children who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth will give the order to attack."

He felt he had earned it.

A young scout officer who didn't know how to live or die gave an order to hit a stone with a pebble. Isn't this really because he thought he didn't have enough military merits, so he specially asked a child to bring a troop to send him military merits?

The answer to Theodore was a new order from Veigar.

"The 312 formation is unfolding."

Veiga stared straight ahead, even the mighty 500-man troops never made him blink. He raised his right hand slightly, and when the opponent entered the attack range, the childish voice lingered in everyone's ears: " attack!"

One command.

The crossbowman behind the giant shieldman pulled the trigger of the hand crossbow.

shhhhh--

Arrows shot out one by one.

Since it was fired with a sophisticated hand crossbow, its penetrating power was such that a single arrow could penetrate two United Kingdom soldiers.

flutter-

The blood stained the white snow on the ground red.

Before the Royal Army charged in front of Vega, they lost more than 60 soldiers.

312 formation.

This is the most basic small-scale combat formation of the empire. The shieldmen block in front, and our crossbowmen wait for an opportunity in the middle of the formation. When a round of salvo is completed, the last spearmen fill the position of the crossbowmen for defense. , to give the crossbowman the time to reload his arrows.

Waiting for the crossbowmen to reload, they can in turn cover the spearmen and shieldmen to fight.

How did the cannon fodder troops of the United Kingdom know this? Their combat method is still in a swarm of charges. Not only do they not have a squad of crossbowmen in charge of covering, nor do they have any front row of defensive shieldmen. This round of salvo naturally made them eat a lot deficit.

"Damn."

Theodore, who took the lead, was forced to stop by the crossbow arrows.

Although he is a professional, the crossbow arrows cannot harm him, but the huge impact still made him take several steps back. At this time, he is no longer naive to think that the imperial army is really a cannon fodder army like him up.

This is basically the backbone of the Imperial Army.

First look at the other party's excellent equipment, powerful combat capabilities, and unruffled mentality, and then look at the soldiers on your side who are almost equivalent to streaking apart from their numerical advantage...

This sale is really a bit miserable.

The quality is not enough, the number of people comes together.

Although the overall quality of the soldiers is indeed far behind that of the Imperial Army, Theodore never thought about letting the cooked duck fly away. Could more than 500 soldiers not be able to feed the 130-man backbone of the Imperial Army?

Besides, he is still a professional.

Thinking of this, Theodore's fighting spirit exploded, and he rushed towards Vega's troops with his cross sword in hand.

He is very fast and has been seriously out of touch with the troops.

But Theodore didn't think so much. He wanted to destroy the Imperial Army's battle formation before the crossbowmen fired their second salvo.

At this time, Veigar stood in front of him.

Theodore was not afraid at all, and the corner of his mouth had already pulled a smile.

Although he felt a trace of magic power from Vega, and he could be sure that Vega was a professional, but he didn't think that a ten-year-old child could be so powerful.

A sword in the air.

gallop down.

This sword cut down on Vega's head from top to bottom like Mount Tai.

Due to the strength of the long cross sword, if Vega uses a short knife to block it, he may even fly out with a knife. If he chooses to dodge, Theodore is ready to kill him.

3 meters, 2 meters, 1 meters...

Just when Theodore thought he was sure of winning, Veigar moved.

He didn't choose to dodge, nor did he choose to use the dagger to block it head-on, but gave up any defense, brandished the dagger and went straight to attack Theodore's heart.

What is this for?
The long sword is obviously longer, and it is absolutely impossible if they want to die together.The final result is probably that the long sword chopped off Veigar's head, rather than Veigar's short knife piercing his heart first.

Still a child after all.

Theodore seemed to see the goddess of victory beckoning.

boom.

A loud bang echoed.

Theodore's sword struck a translucent shield.

what is this?
As a professional, he certainly understands that this is the mage's exclusive defense - the mage's shield.

Theodore's smile froze. He never realized that Vega was actually a magician. A magician could crush him without using spells. He pretended to be a pig and eat a tiger. He pretended to be a professional to attack in close quarters. Want some face?

flutter.

Veigar's dagger struck back and pierced Theodore's heart.

One kill.

If it was played according to the script and attacked in this way of killing each other, then the one who died would definitely be Veigar.But Theodore didn't expect Vega to hide a mage's shield that could be activated at any time, and with the added level of crushing, he didn't even have a chance to use the second move, so he died directly from Vega's sword Down.

Shocked.

After killing Theodore, the unknown power in Veigar's brain grew stronger.

Mind a move.

Veigar found that his mage shield was actually more solidified, and the speed of release was 1/5 faster than before. It seems that killing ordinary units can obtain magic power, and killing professionals can obtain the "unknown power" in the brain. That's for sure.

Set your sights on the approaching Royal Army.

Veija couldn't help sighing in his heart, as expected, the order from the regiment headquarters was not wrong. There is no such thing as a strong professional in this cannon fodder unit. A second-level trainee is already as good as the sky.

A grin appeared on Veigar's face.

After harvesting the 'unknown power', it's time to start harvesting the magic power. Presumably, these 500 lives are enough for him to be promoted to level 4 trainee professional.

The short knife is pinned to the waist.

Vega put the crossed long sword he captured as a scepter on the ground: "Order, all the soldiers of the 232nd company retreat 300 meters, and I will be responsible for clearing the 500 Royal Army alone."

"what?"

The adjutant was taken aback for a moment, and then said excitedly: "Commander, of course we understand how well you care for your subordinates, but even if you are a professional, this is too risky, after all, the magic power will be exhausted after a long period of combat. Please let me wait to fight together."

The soldiers were moved and said in unison: "Please let me wait to fight together."

Sometimes it's not a good thing for subordinates to be too loyal. Veigar rubbed his temples helplessly: "The 500 Kingdom Army is enough to wipe out with my strength, there is no need to do fearless casualties."

"But……"

Veigar said in an irrefutable tone: "Adjutant, carry out the order!"
