Lord of War

  Sean can’t figure out what the White Wing Mercenary Group intends to do, and what do they need on their side?

  But temporarily unable to figure it out, Sean ignored it, and Alfred temporarily focused their attention on the northern barbarian. The formation of the two units has been temporarily completed, with 2,000 shield-armed pikemen and 2,000 archers. Among the remaining 3,000 people, there are more than 1,000 elderly people and nearly 2,000 children. Children are better to say that unless they are very small, they can basically fight with weapons. As for the elderly, although they can also fight, Sean has never considered letting the elderly fight.

The elders of the northern barbarians are actually people who are only over fifty. Although their physical abilities have begun to gradually decline, they can actually be used as reserve soldiers if they are armed. It's hard to live past sixty years old. It's just because of some psychological problems that Sean didn't plan to let these old people go to battle to kill the enemy. Of course, the young children are the same, but it's okay to let them help out as a transporter.

  The people of Red Godek sought a duel with Sean, and they were thrown out of the camp after being rejected. After half an hour, it spread madly throughout the Seddings Oasis.

  Obviously, this is also an arrangement of a caring person.

  It’s just that Xiao En and others are not in the mood to pay attention to these at this time. The goods from the legendary fire hammer are being delivered continuously. Although these equipments are all excellent equipment, they are also very ordinary equipment. Even in the trading capital, many mercenaries and mercenary groups use high-quality equipment, but people will treat Sean as The barbarians of the North were surprised that they were equipped with weapons of this level.

But when people finally saw bundles of enchanted armor-piercing iron cone arrows being transported by carts, many people could no longer remain calm. They were still hesitating, and the tentatively extended claws finally seemed to meet. When he reached something terrible, he retracted quickly.

  Armor-breaking iron cone arrow, one of the signatures of the legendary fire hammer.

  Armor-piercing arrow is a general term for arrows that have a certain destructive power to armor. The most common are the three-sided armor-piercing arrow and the dense-scale armor-piercing arrow.

The former is slightly longer than ordinary arrows. The arrows are heavier, with barbeds and three notches. Within 500 meters, they can easily penetrate leather armor, scale armor, and light armor. The armor of the plate armor, heavy armor and the like has almost no armor-breaking ability. The dense scale armor-piercing arrows are modified on the basis of the three-sided armor-piercing arrows. Although it can be regarded as an improvement, because of the reduction in materials and cost, the dense scale armor piercing arrow can only cause relatively large damage to leather armor and chain armor. A will have almost no effect.

In addition to these two most common armor-piercing arrows, there is another armor-piercing arrow that is equally famous, which is developed by the legendary fire hammer chamber based on the improvement of the three-sided armor-piercing arrow and the dense-scale armor-piercing arrow. New armor-piercing arrows. The arrow weight of this armor-piercing arrow is twice that of a heavy arrow. The arrow is tapered and has a spiral texture. It is shot with a projectile method and even has a bonus on lethality. Within an effective range of 500 meters, even if Even heavy armor can't resist this kind of arrow at all.

  But because of the expensive materials used, and the need for dwarven blacksmiths to hand-grind and engrave the arrow, the price of this armor-piercing iron cone arrow is extremely expensive. If it is not necessary, no one would use this kind of arrow to fight, not to mention the two enchanting effects of "sharp" and "swift", which greatly strengthened the power of these armor-piercing iron cone arrows.

  Even if the northern barbarians don’t know anything about archery, as long as they can shoot arrows out, it is enough to pose a deadly threat to heavy infantry. What's more, most of the teams gathered here in the Saiddings Oasis are slave traps rather than mercenary corps that specialize in wars to earn money. Therefore, it is even more unlikely that there will be heavy infantry units. After all, whether it is maintenance costs or training The cost is not affordable for ordinary people.

  It took two days to say whether it was long or short, but the handover between Sean and the legendary fire hammer was finally completed.

  At this time, the people who care about Sean’s team in Ceddings Oasis are only the red Godek and the white-winged mercenary group hidden in the dark. As for the other forces, most of them are too lazy to continue paying attention to this hedgehog, who is obviously in sheep's clothing. Only some forces that feel the need to continue to collect information on Sean are still working tirelessly.

  Late night.

  A large number of northern barbarians were awakened. They seemed to know what they were going to do next. After waking up, everyone began to gather quietly, and no one made a sound. When the northern barbarians in almost the entire camp were awakened, Cecilia and Hina finally got out of the carriage and joined the team of the northern barbarians. The two female northern barbarians brought the two petite children together. Gave it a hug.

  Everyone is already prepared.

  The shield-bearing pikemen were scattered on the outermost periphery. Although they were holding half-length shields and spears, they did not make any noise when they walked, and they were as quiet as a leopard. The archers hold bows in their hands, with long swords at their waists, and a quiver at the back. Each quiver contains forty arrows, the remaining 20,000 ordinary arrows and the 10,000 enchanted ones. The armored iron cone arrow is carried by other northern barbarian children.

  The whole team, in this extremely quiet atmosphere, took advantage of the cover of night to leave the camp.

  Early when entering the Seddings Oasis, Sean had already considered these retreats. Therefore, when choosing the rental camp, Sean chose the place as far as possible from the Seddings Oasis. Because in the trading capital, there has never been a so-called day and night, and there are always more people awake than people who are asleep. Therefore, keeping away from the crowd as much as possible has become an important goal for Sean to choose the camp.

  After that, using carriages, tents and other cover, there is no light or fire in the camp. Unless there are people with dark vision, it will never be possible to discover Sean's upcoming movements. His strength is not particularly strong at the moment. If he leaves the trading capital blatantly, he is likely to be targeted by those who are interested. Once he leaves the orderly restricted zone of the trading capital, all kinds of battles will no longer be affected by trade. Jurisdiction of the capital.

  Therefore, any convoy coming here to the trading capital must be equipped with a strong enough guard force, and no one wants to be eaten as a piece of fat by the mercenaries or mercenaries who appear as bandits and bandits. And Sean, indeed, because of no alternative, he ventured into the trading capital. Originally, according to his idea, after establishing a mercenary group, it would take at least three to four years before he shifted his focus to the trading capital. Here.

   But right now, it's just a face-to-face encounter.

  Sean thought so.

  ...... Also on this night, a large-scale team was also quietly moving on the Gobi Wasteland. In terms of the number of people, this team has at least three thousand people. They are wearing black and white light armor, riding horses, and their weapons are basically unified. When they are marching, the team maintains a solemn silence and leads. Led by a few people who seem to be generals, they are heading south.

  In the distance, sand and dust rose slightly.

  A general suddenly yelled: "Stop."

  The sound was particularly shocking in this silent night. There was a slight commotion in the team behind this general. Although it stopped quickly, it still made the general's brows frown, and he felt a little disapproving of these riders in his heart.

   "No wonder it can only be a member of the outer reserve."

  Of course, he did not say this. As a qualified general, he would never say such words that would damage the morale of his own army. He just raised his head and stared at the place where the dust rose in front of him. At this time, there was a commotion from the team behind him, which made his brows furrowed deeper. Discipline has already felt very dissatisfied.

  He even felt that by giving him two thousand regular troops, he could easily complete this task. However, he also knew that the upper echelons actually wanted to take this opportunity to train their soldiers. After all, in a place like the trading capital, it was too few to find a team that could be used to train soldiers. In fact, if it were not for a very important person in the opposing team this time, the White Wing Mercenary Corps would not have done such a detrimental thing, but if things are handled a little bit more cleanly, there should be no one. Can be found.

  Of course, in this way, it is naturally impossible to choose the location of the battle within the scope of the trading capital. At least it must be far enough away from the trading capital before he can do it, and what he has to do now is to find out exactly where the opponent's marching route is.

  Soon, a few riders ran up where the dust rose.

  "General, as you might expect, the other party did leave the camp during the night of the night."

  The general raised his head and glanced at the night. It was dark and moonless, with gusts of wind roaring. It was indeed a very suitable night to cover up the sound. Then he took out the map he was carrying with him, unfolded, and said, "Do you know which direction the other party is heading?"

  "From the perspective, it should be the Principality of Lane."

"Is it the Principality of Lane?" The general's gaze fell back on the map and began to follow the movement of his fingers on the map until his fingers stopped at the edge of a wasteland and forest. "There are so many of them, Lane The Principality will not let these people into the territory casually, so their ultimate possibility should be to bypass the border and infiltrate into the Principality of Ryan through the Forest of Belize. Although I don’t know the reason why the other party is going to the Principality of Ryan, we are just Belly. Forest ambush.... William, what do you think?"

  A man who looked a little groggy, lying on his horseback, said lazily after hearing the voice of the general: "My lord is wise."
