We are in Terra and there is no book to read.

"Order this batch of troops to set off, and notify the Pardoner to let the new experimental troops join together, just to test the effect."

.........

In the desert, Casimir's beast-controlling knight, relying on his superiority in numbers and speed, tracked the Sakaz troops day and night.Although Sarkaz has many experienced old scouts, they can always lead their troops through the gaps between the knights.

But the traces could not be completely eliminated. Knight Casimir did not rush directly to fight, but continued to compress Sakaz's space for movement.

At this time, nearby friendly troops will come to the rescue and try to open a hole to help their colleagues escape.But all this is really powerless in front of the impact beasts trained by Casimir, which often exposes more Sakaz troops to the knight's sight.

"Roman Long Cavalry! After our driving over the past few days, we should have gathered a sizable Sakaz force in front of us."

"Good! That's great!"

In the camp at night, after hearing the results reported by his men, Roman shouted out excitedly. The frustration of being attacked by Sarkaz during this period was finally over!

After all, a man's two legs cannot outrun a beast of burden!

"Roman Longqi, should we try to eat this Sakaz army?"

The subordinate suddenly stood up and suggested: "The recent period has put a lot of pressure on our magicians' bodies. They need to rest."

This was a countermeasure that Casimir came up with in order to deal with Sakaz's sneak attack at night. He asked a magician with the skill of luminous source stones to completely illuminate the area around the camp all night long, so that Sakaz could not sneak attack.

If you do this, Sakaz will not come at night, but this will hurt Casimir's few magicians.The density of the Origin Stone in their bodies is not bad, but their bodies have been frighteningly weak recently.But because Casimir is not a magician and has long-term experience in using Originium skills, it is still unclear what is going on.

After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Let the surrounding troops move closer to me. Let's kill this group of demons first!"

After doing some necessary instructions, Roman came to the outside of the camp and expressed condolences to the magician on duty. He encouraged: "Keep on holding on, and tomorrow I will directly eat the Sakaz troops in front of me, so that you can rest." .”

Chapter 51

In the early morning, when it was still dark, Casimir's knights, who had gone out to hunt Sakaz's troops, were gathering towards Roman's position.

The adjutant shouted softly from outside, and after getting Roman's permission, he walked into the tent.

"Long Rider Roman, all the knights who can come around have gathered towards us. There are currently 5000 people in place. We have sent people to investigate the traces of Sakaz, and they are still in the direction of our pursuit. The number is probably more than 2000 people."

The adjutant drew a circle on the map, and Roman nodded with satisfaction.

The desert between Ursus and Letania is so vast. When 5000 beast-controlling knights gather together, it is spectacular. But once they rush out, no one can see each other. [-] knights can gather in one night. , he is already very satisfied, as for the two thousand Sakaz.

There is no obstacle in front of the terrain to attack the beast of burden. The intensive charge of the beast control knight will crush the disgusting body of the demon clan.

Thinking of a hearty charge, Roman was in a good mood. He looked out the window and ordered to the adjutant: "It's almost dawn, let the magicians take a rest. The demons have many magicians. We might even need them to cover us at some point.”

"As ordered!"

The adjutant turned around and went out to convey the order. Magician Casimir, who had worked hard all night, could finally rest for a while. The area around the camp suddenly turned into a dark and turbid color.But now no one will worry about Sakaz's attack. This camp does not have a large amount of supplies, only the knights for battle. Sakaz rushes up, which is a wish.

"Let's go, take a rest."

"I haven't slept a wink all night."

Casimir magicians had relieved smiles on their faces. While moving their stiff limbs, they took some hot food from their comrades to warm themselves up.

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge, and the wind is very strong. It is really difficult to stand there all the time releasing the Origin Stone skills.

After greeting the knights who came to replace them, the warlocks walked towards the camp, but there were a few slight collisions behind them, as if something had fallen.

"What is this?"

One person curiously picked up something on the ground. It was a small hard object. Something popped out of it, and a puff of smoke quickly sprayed out.

Not only were they in his hands, but there were many such small hard objects on the ground around him. They also spewed out streams of smoke, and the entire camp was suddenly filled with smoke.

"What is this?"

"Where did it come from?!"

Many knights on the expedition had just arrived here and had not arranged to rest yet, so the camp suddenly became noisy.The knight riding on the back of the beast had to get down and grab the reins to prevent him from hitting others, but then a huge force hit him from behind and knocked him to the ground.

【boom--】

【boom--】

Origin Stone skills landed in the camp one after another, and the entire camp immediately exploded, but they could not see anything clearly.But the war knights were indeed battle-hardened. They did not run around, but chose to obey the commands of higher-level war knights on the spot.It was the pack animals frightened in the smoke that rushed in all directions, causing chaos in the camp.

"The messenger! The messenger! Where is the messenger?!"

Roman shouted loudly, but there was only thicker smoke in front of him. He couldn't tell who was who, so he could only keep shouting.

"Everyone get out of the smoke! Get out!"

In this desert, a cloud of smoke shrouds the place, which is simply a target!The enemy's magicians don't need to aim accurately, they just need to blast hard inside, but they themselves don't even know the enemy is there.

Perhaps some messengers heard this, so the knights mounted their beasts of burden and began to rush outside the camp.But the smoke seemed to have no end, and at this time, there was suddenly wind and sand, making it difficult for people to open their eyes.

"This must be the fault of the demons. Charge at full speed and rush out!"

A commanding knight shouted loudly, but an arrow from nowhere in the flying sand instantly pierced his chest and shot him to the ground. The surrounding knights immediately raised their doors in the direction of the arrow's tail. shield.

But the next second, two more knights fell to the ground lifeless, and the arrows on their bodies were shot from behind, which shocked the remaining people.

"We're surrounded?!"

"Impossible! There are only so many of them!"

Another war knight took over the command, "Don't ride on the beast of burden, the target is too big! Use the beast of burden as cover, let's get out!"

As soon as he stepped on the ground, an arrow instantly pierced his neck.

"Long ride!"

The low-level knights quickly went to the ground to see the situation of the high-level knights, but a warhammer suddenly appeared in the wind and sand, and it hit a knight hard on the back of the head.

【Boom—】

His entire helmet had been deformed, and blood was gushing out from the gaps, which made the remaining knights feel a chill in their hearts.They looked around blankly, but couldn't see anything, and fear suddenly climbed into their hearts.

'Where is the enemy? ! '

The knights on the expedition began to whip the beasts of burden crazily, wanting to leave here as soon as possible, but no matter which direction they rushed, the smoke and dust could never end, and there were dense arrows flying from all directions. The number of people around him was reduced by more than half.

"Damn the demons! Come out and fight!"

The aggrieved warrior knight shouted blankly at the wind and sand, and then a warhammer hit his spine from behind in the next second.

He lay on the ground, intense pain filling his limbs.At this time, he finally saw a vague shadow, but he could do nothing. The other party raised the war hammer in his hand.

【Pfft——】

As the middle-level knights with command ability and power lay on the ground one by one, the command system of Casimir's army finally collapsed, and the entire army collapsed immediately without the officers to maintain it.

The knights began to flee blindly, with no organization at all among themselves. The few remaining officers could not stop them and could only watch them disappear into the wind and sand.

The sun rose over the desert, and Sakaz's warlocks stopped bombarding, but the screams of Knight Casimir were still filled in the wind and sand.

When the time came in the morning, the Sakaz had disappeared and the place was calm again.

The wind and sand dispersed, and the ground was littered with the corpses of the fighting knights. Some were blown to death by spells, some were crushed to death by war hammers, and some were killed by their own beasts of burden, but most of them were killed by Sakaz's beasts. Arrows fell.

The knight who came here to convey the order looked at everything in front of him in astonishment. He stood blankly among the dead bodies and shouted subconsciously.

"Is there anyone alive?"

"Is there anyone alive!!!"

The shouts carried far away, but all I could hear was the howling wind.

Chapter 52 Palette Troops

A battle report was transmitted along the communication line to the transport ship of Casimir's expeditionary force, but this time even Lord Tok couldn't help it, and the beard at the corner of his mouth could not stop trembling slightly.

"What the hell is going on?! How could a total of 5000 beast master knights not survive! Where is Roman! Let him come to see me!"

"Lord Tok, Roman... we haven't found his body yet."

The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely tense, and a warrior knight stood up bravely, "We analyzed Roman's situation at that time..."

"What are you hemming and hawing about, say!"

"Yes!" The war knight was startled.

"We went through all Roman's recorded orders yesterday. He said that a group of about 2000 Sakaz troops were blocked in front of the area he was responsible for. He summoned the surrounding troops and wanted to eat them in one fell swoop.

"Sarkaz's retreat was very hasty. After we cleaned the battlefield, we carefully counted the arrows shot by Sarkaz, and found that there was something wrong with the number of enemies described by Roman."

"How much worse?"

The knight who reported the report swallowed, "The Sakaz troops who faced us last night numbered about 5."

"5 people? 5 people moved around the army, and Roman didn't notice it at all?"

Tok's face was full of suspicion, and the knight responsible for the report quickly explained.

"This is the result of our comprehensive calculation based on the time of death of the corpse, the number of arrows at the scene, the time required for bows and crossbows to fire an arrow, and the ratio of shooters. The number of enemy troops is only a lot higher! "

Hearing what he said, Tok no longer doubted that these people had been fighting Ursus for many years and had rich experience.

"5 people...5 people..."

Tok recited this number and paced back and forth in the conference room. Suddenly he stopped suddenly and asked: "What is the maximum number of troops Sakaz can mobilize?"

"This... I'm afraid this number is a little inaccurate. We don't have the ability to sneak into Kazdale, but judging from the words of some former Sakaz mercenary groups."

He pondered slightly, "The maximum mobilization force is probably about 7."

"7...that means there are only more than 2 Sarkaz troops near Kazdale right now, right?"

Tok stood in front of the porthole, looking at the end of the desert.

"If there are [-] Sakaz here, then [-] scattered knights cannot handle it. Order, all beast-controlling knights, withdraw all! Withdraw immediately! I want to change the plan!"

.........

Two high-speed transport ships stopped at Kazdale's mooring, and a large number of soldiers were walking out. Their clothes were a little weird, and they all wore an extra layer of cloaks.

These are the soldiers sent out last night.

"Your Majesty, I am honored to present this battle report to you."

The pardoner came to Teresica respectfully with a report, and he said: "Your idea is extremely correct, and the result completely exceeded the imagination of the military committee and me."

Last night, fearing that the guerrilla forces would be targeted and suppressed, Teresica immediately dispatched a new unit, which was built exactly as he had originally envisioned.

They all use the cloaks provided by the Pardoner, which have Originium skills that can cover their bodies. The weapons they use are semi-automatic individual crossbows, and they are also improved second-generation semi-automatic individual crossbows.

Not only is the winding action replaced by a mechanical structure driven by Originium batteries, but a quick magazine function is also added.The Sakaz craftsmen imitated the magazine of the Sakota gun and produced a long plate-shaped arrow magazine. It is used in a similar way to the magazine of the gun. It is inserted from the bottom of the crossbow arm and contains a The spring will continue to push the arrow into the ready-to-fire position. The user only needs to pull the trigger and change the magazine during combat to continue output.

After obtaining Ursus' equipment, this force also added a strike team that uses drones to guide the array magicians to carry out long-distance spell attacks.

Finally, in order to cope with this battle, they also added a group of melee personnel using warhammers and other weapons, forming the palette force for the assault on the Casimir Knights.

The entire army selects the best Sakaz soldiers. They eat the best food, receive the most rigorous and complete training, and use the best weapons.

Everything is the best, and the result will naturally not be bad.

Teresica could already tell the result from the expression on the pardoner's face, but when he read the report himself, he was a little surprised.

This team of only 500 people actually cooperated with the Sarkaz troops of more than 2000 people to attack the 5000-man Casimir Beast Rider Knight, and even defeated the opponent's entire army!

Sakaz's losses were only nearly 200, of which only a dozen were soldiers of this unit. The cause of death was accidental damage from friendly forces' spells and accidental impacts from charging beasts of burden.

"Your Majesty, even Lord Traces rarely achieves this kind of victory."

The shapeshifter walked in at this time. He bowed to Teresica in accordance with standard etiquette, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Casimir people have changed."

"What did they do?"

"Tok, the commander of Casimir's forces, ordered the division of troops."

The shapeshifter drew a straight line on the map leading to Kazdaele.

"He ordered the beast master knights to escort a large amount of supplies from Leitania into the army, and then built a camp in the desert. My people reported that he ordered all the carrying beasts and impact beasts to be gathered and organized into A temporary force composed of beast-controlling knights and beast-controlling walking knights will probably set off today."

"How many are there? How long will it take for them to get here?"

"About [-] beast-riding knights and [-] foot knights, led by Tok himself. They have set off now. It will take about two days to rush all the way here."

The shapeshifter's words made Teresica's eyes widen. A troop of [-] horses transformed into horses were charging directly towards her? !

He immediately wanted to intercept it, but after thinking about it, he found that it was impossible to do it.If pure infantry intercepts pure cavalry and does not have a numerical advantage, it will simply lead to death in batches.

So we can only have one fight here?
