On the Seven Towers

Evelyn's mercenaries rushed towards the knights' camp in several columns. After these days of training, they no longer fought noisily like before, but advanced silently, but the power contained in silence was far greater than before.

The soldiers on this side of the knights' camp saw this group of solemn and terrifying warriors and screamed loudly.

However, they were greeted by a rain of arrows.

Evelyn gathered the archers together and used them. The archers of the three squads reached the range of the projectile. Under the command of the dark elf warriors, they bent their bows and projected arrows while running. Generally, the elves could shoot once every five steps, while the mercenaries could only shoot once every ten steps. And there was basically no accuracy. But these arrows put a lot of pressure on the opponent. This is the unique archer charge suppression tactic of the elves. In the hands of a large number of elf rangers, it has a very powerful suppression and cover effect, and can quickly kill the enemy in the first round.

The effect of the mercenaries may not be one-fifth of that of the elves, but the momentum is not much weaker. The temporary camp built by the knights had no fortifications, so most of the enemies could only hide in tents, carts and other places to avoid arrows. The knights and attendants were better, but most of the ordinary soldiers were farmers requisitioned from the territory. The better ones had some combat experience. They were competent for the work of spearmen and archers. The worse ones were basically rookies who had just undergone some military training, farmers who had just put down their hoes and wore leather armor yesterday, or unemployed vagrants in the town. These people were very afraid of bows and arrows. Even though the arrows shot at them were completely inaccurate, they all hid in places where they could hide from arrows.

The knights knew very well that after experiencing the previous attack on the camp, the spirits of ordinary soldiers had been stretched to the limit. In this situation where they could only take a beating, if they could not turn the situation around, the team would easily collapse. They urged those soldiers to shoot arrows to fight back, or prepare for battle. But their urging and coercion were far less deterrent than the rain of arrows falling from the sky.

After running and shooting four rounds. The dark elves commanded the mercenary archers to stand still and fire in unison, and this time the accuracy was much higher. The soldiers in the enemy camp were finally organized by a knight and began to line up. But after six or seven people were shot down in succession, they all scattered.

With the enemy in disarray. Evelyn led the team to rush closer and closer. She and a dozen warriors who were good at riding rushed into the camp first. The knight who organized the defense was cut in half before she took two moves. The riders then swept through the enemy archers' line and killed their last counterattack force.

"The enemy's masters are in the west!" A dark elf ranger shouted, "They are fighting with Kassa's team!"

"Go! Give them a hard blow from behind!" Evelyn shouted with her sword raised. Then her horse team and the infantry who just arrived behind rushed towards the enemy who was still struggling in the vine field.

In order to fight the vines on the ground, none of those people rode horses, which put them at a great disadvantage in front of Evelyn and others who borrowed horses' power.

Moreover, the poor low- and middle-level knights had not yet recovered from the torture of the hell dandelions, and they were attacked by Evelyn and Kasha's team from both the front and the back.

Evelyn targeted a middle-level knight with the strongest fighting spirit. He was the first one to recover. Even though his eyes were still in tears, he had recovered most of his fighting power. Evelyn rushed past him on horseback, and combined with fighting spirit and horsepower, she slashed him away with a horizontal slash. The latter got up from the ground in a panic and swung his sword to cut off Evelyn's horse's legs. But Evelyn had foreseen it and lifted the reins, so that the front hoof of the warhorse under her was raised, and she easily avoided the slash. Evelyn followed with a vertical slash, knocking the knight who barely resisted to the ground again. She shouted softly and pressed lightly on the shoulder of the warhorse. This light touch was a secret technique of sharing fighting spirit that the dark elf ranger used specifically for mounts. A stream of earth fighting spirit was transmitted from her body to the front hooves of the warhorse, and then the warhorse stepped down with both hooves as if it was telepathic, and landed hard on the knight's arm.

The knight screamed and his arm was broken.

Evelyn leaned forward, raised her sword and chopped off his head. She lifted the knight's head with a long sword and shouted loudly, "Earl Green is dead, and your leader is also dead. Surrender and you will not be killed. Surrender and you will not be killed! Anyone who is willing to surrender, abandon your weapons and raise your hands!"

The other warriors also shouted loudly: "The earl is dead! The leader is dead! Raise your hands, surrender and you will not be killed!"

"Surrender! Surrender! Surrender!" Such voices were heard everywhere in the camp.

"We surrender!" Under tremendous pressure, a knight finally threw away his weapons and raised his hands.

"I surrender, don't kill me." A knight attendant whose weapon was knocked away by a dark elf warrior simply raised his hands, lowered his head, and closed his eyes, but the next moment a scimitar still chopped into his neck.

The remaining guys who resisted stubbornly were like some small fish and shrimps, and they were helplessly destroyed under the combined attack of two huge waves.

Before dawn, Xiao Chen saw the captives escorted by Evelyn in the courtyard of the Baron's Mansion where the fire had been put out. Most of these captives were in a state of dismay, and it seemed that they had not yet recovered from today's failure. The dark elves and mercenary warriors who escorted them were arrogant, forming a strong contrast with them.

"Thank you! You did a good job, Evelyn."

The dark elf ranger, who had lived for many years, was still a little excited at this time, "If our soldiers hadn't been unable to stop killing, we should have been able to capture a few more prisoners."

"It was a battlefield and no one could fault them. How were our casualties?"

"Eight mercenary warriors were sacrificed, one of whom was a low-level one."

"Well, you did a good job." Xiao Chen turned to Roger again, "Add these, how many prisoners do we have."

"Totaling up all the ones we caught, there are still two mid-level warriors and four low-level warriors. Among them is a baron. The rest are all knights. In addition, there are fifteen knight attendants and ordinary soldiers. Eighty-four." Roger reported to Xiao Chen.

"The knight and the knight's attendants should be locked up in the dungeon of the Baron Mansion first. You can ask the Duke of Parsa for ransom in the future. Send someone to guard the other soldiers first, and seize the time to screen them tomorrow. What should be dealt with and what should be absorbed , Let those who should be let go."

Xiao Chen looked at the list in his hand and said, "There is another Viscount Anfular here. Is he an ordinary person?"

"Yes. He is responsible for managing logistics for Earl Green. When we set the fire just now, he was counting food and grass in the backyard and was not injured. He did not dare to escape, and I later caught him." Roger replied.

"Bring him here and have a look. Maybe this person can be useful to me."

Viscount Anfular is a middle-aged man who is almost fifty years old. He is a little fat and looks more like a businessman than a nobleman. He stood solemnly in front of Xiao Chen, smiling hard with a shy face.

Xiao Chen looked at him with burning eyes: "Your Majesty the Viscount, you should be aware of today's situation. I need you to bring a message to the Duke of Greenwood City in a few days..."
