The Lion King of Middenland, Warhammer

() "Noble Lord Hyde, your eloquence has shaken me from the bottom of my heart, and your reasoning is so powerful that my small face can't bear it. But..."

The fat depot supervisor finally opened his lips with difficulty, and slowly let out a reply.Hyde saw contradictions and excitement flowing in his eyes. This short, fat middle-aged man had fallen into chaos, and two emotions and attitudes violently impacted his heart.

"Dear Your Excellency Mount, I understand your difficulties, but I must point out that the rescue of comrades-in-arms is also for ourselves! The medical team with more than 20 carriages will not be without guards, and the soldiers who escorted the convoy from the front line of the army will also come here. They must be extraordinary warriors, and our rescue of them will naturally increase the defense of the military station, which will not have any contradiction with your duties."

Hyde calmly analyzed the situation with the supervisor named Mount. He was never unreasonable, and he would use irrefutable logic to convince this persistent soldier.His chest was filled with eloquence from nowhere, as if the wise Valkyrie Myrmidia had attached the godhead to his mind.

"I know that our military depot needs to be defended, and I have no intention of affecting the defense. I just need to take fifteen of your Musketeers to attack. Anyway, cavalry is of no use in defending the city. You can leave all your 160 infantry, they can defend our wooden walls very well. From the wounded and sick who have recovered from the hospital, I will also recruit dozens of willing warriors with horses, and you can still leave 500% of the lightly wounded and Restorers help you defend the city. This way, only one-tenth of the [-] warriors who can fight in the entire military depot will be taken away, which will not affect the defense and stability of our military depot. You are also a hero with decades of military career Knight, more than [-] soldiers are enough for you to defend this depot and deal with possible enemy attacks. What is your opinion on this arrangement?"

Hyde ended his eloquence with a gentle and rigorous voice, and the entire watchtower fell silent, as if everything had frozen.Beads of sweat protruded densely from the forehead and cheeks of the fat supervisor named White, and he seemed to be stunned.

The silence at that moment was only for a short time, but it felt like a long time to everyone, until a voice interrupted the silence and silence.

"Old Potato, do you remember that moment 30 years ago? Do you remember the day when the gunfire and poisonous arrows flew? Do you remember who broke into the siege of the Skaven? Do you Did you see the heroic appearance of the Martial God Princess again?"

Old Loren's voice was not loud, but his words were powerful, carrying an indescribable power.He looked seriously at the face of the short and fat executive, with a bit of melancholy in his stern eyes.

"Back then, the supreme ancient god brought her noble soul to the world. Don't you see that glorious return in her heroic son? Mount, answer me!"

The burly old knight with white hair and red armor raised his voice and took a step forward.

This last voice completely broke the spiritual defense of the short and fat executive. He trembled violently, and suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Hyde, humbly lowering his head wearing a wide-brimmed leather hat.His voice contained excitement and regret, and he grabbed Hyde's hand holding the sword.

"Ah, noble son of the holy Valkyrie princess! Please forgive me! Your noble character makes me feel ashamed, and your heroism makes me feel extremely small. The wise Valkyrie Myrmidia will immortal God's grace descended on your noble body, allowing you to save my cowardly soul! Ah, your spirit is exactly the same as your kind mother back then! Your great mother, she saved Mount's life back then, and the humble Mount Te actually tried to evade her son with cowardly logic..."

The chunky middle-aged man held Hyde's hand tightly, his tears rolled down his face, his whole face turned red from excitement and shame, he had already made a decision.

"You take 100% of your soldiers, and you can recruit more than [-] bravest soldiers from the wounded who have basically recovered. There are enough pack horses and pack mules for them to ride on mobile. I use [-] bows The crossbowmen and [-] wounded men are enough to hold the wooden wall and deal with the possible surprise attack of the Chaos Beast. When you rescued the health team and came to the military depot, I used myself as a cannon to cover you! Noble Lord Hyde, please forgive me I can't go with you!"

"Dear Lord Mount, thank you for accepting my opinion, thank you for entrusting me with the soldiers! You are not a coward, you are a soldier with a sense of responsibility, let us meet again in front of this military depot!"

Hyde helped up the chunky middle-aged executive, gave him a solemn military salute, and then turned around and stepped on the wooden escalator of the watchtower.Time is running out, and the soldiers must be summoned to set off as soon as possible. The comrades who are besieged in the distance cannot stand the delay!

"O warriors of the empire! The noble son of the Holy Princess of Tyril, the descendant of the Elector of Midenland, the brave Valkyrie Mirmidia, His Royal Highness Hyde, is going to rescue us who are trapped in the siege of chaos and beasts." Comrades! All warriors who are good at riding horses are invited to stand up and write this glory side by side with His Royal Highness Hyde!"

When the young knight walked down the steps of the watchtower, Mount's voice sounded from the loudspeaker at the top of the tower.The voice of the fat executive became so passionate and unrestrained, which made Hyde smile with relief, this is his victory, this is the victory of justice!

Inspired by this touching and exciting atmosphere, about [-] wounded soldiers who had recovered relatively well, including more than [-] knights, put forward a request to jointly attack with Hyde to rescue the health team.These people were of all kinds, from the duchies of Rick, Octesland, Highland, and Talabakran, and there were also several warriors from Middenland.They were gearing up, those with horses brought their own horses, those without horses rode on the pack horses or mules at the military station, drew their swords, raised their muskets, and carried their spears, all of them were full of energy and confidence. with passion.

After a short selection by Old Loren, and brushing off a group of wounded soldiers who were not fit enough or could not ride horses, Hyde decided to lead 48 short halberdiers, 120 infantry musketeers and 200 musketeers, as well as [-] already The wounded, who had basically recovered and were in good health and could ride horses, immediately set off to rescue the besieged convoy in the northwest.Although most of these soldiers are infantry, and there are only a dozen or so knights and knight attendants, most of them are from the north, and basically all of them can ride horses.After arming them with horse mules from the military depot, it would roughly become a cavalry of [-] men, which seemed quite impressive.

After a while, this small army lined up in two lines, and under the leadership of Hyde and Old Loren, they drove out of the gate of the military station, and galloped towards the smoke and dust in the northwest.Director Mount stood beside the long-pipe snake cannon on the gate tower and watched them go away. His eyes were full of excitement, and he kept subconsciously fiddled with the brass trumpet musket full of time marks in his hand, muttering to himself. language.

Under the advice of Old Loren, this small cavalry unit advanced in a scattered horizontal formation, with each horse separated by five paces, and branches or trees were hung on the tails of the mules and pack horses in the rear row. The broom created a gray mist that spread everywhere, and it looked like a large army. Old Loren pointed out that this was to create an aura of an approaching army, and it was very effective in scaring the bullying and stupid chaotic beasts. In ten years of military career, this method has been used many times.

Hyde agreed with his Grandpa Loren's opinion very much. In order to supplement this momentum, he, other soldiers, and many nurses quickly obtained most of the small flags and dozens of blood-stained banners in the camp before setting off. The old bed sheets were tied with colored cloth strips, and they were beaten up with spears or wooden sticks. There were as many as a hundred and ten sides in total. Basically, every two soldiers had a "big flag", which was equivalent to a 4000-man regiment in the actual establishment. Although there is a gap between the number of flags and the real military flag, it also constitutes a rather spectacular scene.

After the careful planning of these two commanders, looking at the [-]-strong cavalry on the grassland from a distance, the sky was filled with smoke, the military flags were like clouds, and the width of the front was about [-] meters wide. Like a mighty army of thousands of people, it looks quite intimidating.This made Hyde and Loren, who were at the front of the line, also laugh at each other. This effect is probably enough for those sheep-headed bastards to drink a pot!Of course, it is the power of the swords and muskets in the hands of the warriors that really wants the enemy to experience the power!

"Your Excellency Hyde, your eloquence just now was really powerful, and everyone in the military depot was moved by you. Even the two boring bastards from Tara Bakerland who slandered you yesterday and got punched are now crying and insisting on joining us in the attack team."

Old Loren rode close to him on his tall big horse, which had already been donned in black plate armor. He was holding a blue and red heavy banner spear of the Empire, and he also had a red and white curly ostrich feather on his head. His rimmed and polished iron helmet, ornately rimmed and embossed in silver and brass, gleamed in the midday sun, which a wounded Reik knight had insisted on lending to him because he could not go to battle by himself, The white-haired old soldier naturally accepted it without any formality.

"You are flattering, my Grandpa Loren. I just said what I should say in one breath. This is all the effect of the Holy Seal of Martial Arts left to me by my mother. I want to thank my holy Mother. As for the attitudes of the two gentlemen, it shows that they still have the responsibility and conscience of men in their hearts, which is commendable. I also felt guilty for taking too much action against them yesterday."

Hyde calmly answered Loren's approval.When they were recruiting warriors in the square just now, the pair of life treasure partners who were beaten up by Hyde yesterday for slandering Loren and Lara --- two apprentice knights from the Principality of Tala Baekland were also interrupted. The fat man White in the arm and the skinny Robbie who was beaten into the haystack both ran to wipe away their tears, asking to repent to His Highness Hyde, to join the commando team to rescue the health team, and so on.This made Hyde quite ashamed at the time.

"If I had shot lightly at the time, we would have had an extra warrior in this attack. This is my mistake of not being calm."

Hyde paused, and continued to express his thoughts to Old Loren.Just now in the square, the fat man was naturally rejected because of his unhealed hand injury, while the thin Robbie took his yellow horse to participate in this operation, holding a flag spear and walking behind the team.This man claims that he is a good cavalier, depending on his horse's performance on the battlefield.

"Your Excellency Hyde, what you did was not wrong. To subdue a wild horse, you must use a whip, and sometimes you must use your fists. The enemy is approaching, and we are ready to fight."

Old Loren expressed his opinion and ended their short conversation.The battlefield is approaching, and it is no longer the time to sigh.

The autumn grassland in Kislev is very flat, which is very suitable for cavalry to gallop. In about 10 minutes, this majestic cavalry team approached the battlefield where the fierce battle was taking place.At a distance of about one and a half leagues, one could see large tracts of brown and black chaotic beasts running and gathering on the withered yellow grassland.Surrounded by them, the white pony convoy formed a ring formation, the black signal smoke column rose from the convoy's center, and the white smoke unique to gunpowder firing rose around the convoy, indicating that the convoy Still resisting.

When the support army approached the array of chaotic beasts, the commanders of the chaotic beasts seemed to have noticed something strange on the side. After a few sharp horns, more than a hundred chaotic centaurs broke away from the siege of the chariot formation, lined up Formed into an evacuated formation, launched a test to the reinforcements whose strength was unknown.They ran very fast, the small black dots quickly grew larger on the yellow grassland, approaching the smoky human formation roaring!
