The Hero Who Troubles the Heroes

Vol 3 Chapter 664: cannon fodder battle

On the open grass in the mountains, two armies lined up to face each other.

The sharp mountain wind whistled past, blowing the silk flags embroidered with the coat of arms of various families.

The sun is about to rise to the highest point of the day.

The knights put down their visors and patted the horses under them lightly.

The soldiers moved a bit, clenching their weapons.

Farmers with simple weapons showed mixed expressions, some trembling with nervousness, cold hands and feet, others eyes full of **.

A low horn sounded from the two armies, flags were waved, and the battle began.

The first to rush out are the cannon fodders from both sides...

On the top of the mountain not far away, the merchants who did business with the army gathered together, watching the battle below the mountain and discussing the acquisition of post-war spoils.

The previous business was all small, in order to have a good relationship with the people in the army, so as to buy the spoils after the war.

The merchants from Agrigento were excited, because the army on their side was much larger than on the other side.

There were more than thirty knights on Agrigento's side, and only twenty on Trapani's side.

The soldiers, including cavalry, pikemen, and archers, were nearly four hundred on Agrigento's side, and only a little over two hundred on Trapani's side.

Even as a farmer and mercenary as cannon fodder, Agrigento is more than half more than Rapani.

From a military point of view, Agrigento has the advantage.

"Agrigento's side is sure to lose." Gennaro shook his head and whispered to the girls around him, "unless Charles is willing to go all out to help Agrigento's side."

Donna, who was standing beside Gennaro, nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, it's very difficult for Agrigento to turn around."

Gennaro has received some orthodox military theory studies, and Donna has experienced countless battles. The two of them quickly saw the real strength comparison on the battlefield.

A pair of thin little hands suddenly grabbed Gennaro's arm, and the little girl asked anxiously, "Brother Gennaro, will brother Charles be in danger?"

Gennaro patted the little **** the head dotingly—just as his sister patted him at home—and said, "Don't worry, this battle of less than a thousand people is just a spectacle for Charles. "

Donna also said: "Don't worry, although that person is very annoying, he has to admit that he is very strong. If he wants to run, no one can stop him."

Deborah and Rukia on the side also comforted the little girl who had just been sent from the military camp by Charles a few days ago. They had seen Charles who slaughtered monsters in Onna City and knew that this guy was not easy.

Gennaro's group sympathized and loved the ten-year-old little sister. After learning that the little sister's name was "Radish", Deborah changed the pseudonym she used to hide her debts at a relative's house in Florence "Tilly". "Give it to her.

At this time, Charles was mixed in the cannon fodder battalion, and followed the large army to the opposite side, which looked like cannon fodder, but was actually a pseudo-cannon fodder battalion composed of adventurers.

As soon as they came into contact, the people around Charles, who were full of morale, were knocked to the ground by the experienced adventurers in an instant. Only Charles, who was holding a sturdy long wooden stick, fought and retreated. After stabbing down a few underestimated adventurers, he joined the mercenaries behind.

But this was of no use. After all the people who had been charged were overthrown, the number of mercenaries on Agrigento's side was much less than the adventurers and mercenaries on the opposite side. It was a matter of time before they were destroyed.

On the mountain in the distance, Gennaro and the others soon found Charles, who stood out a little in the crowd.

Several mercenaries confronted Charles, but Charles made a gesture he learned from Alfred towards them. The mercenaries glanced at each other, and then launched a fierce attack on Charles.

"Tsk..." Donna shook her head, "So mercenaries are not reliable at all."

Charles's fight seemed to be fierce, but in fact anyone with a wink could see that those people were acting.

It's just that the cannon fodder on Charles and the others is almost exhausted, and Charles can't be alone, so he fell to the ground with a scream, and at the same time exploded a few dinars.

The mercenary who finished playing with Charles picked up the silver coins on the ground, and one of the mercenaries said to Charles on the ground, "Wait and be careful, don't be trampled to death by a horse."

Seeing Charles fall, Tilly almost burst into tears.

Without Charles, her eventual fate would be either spoiled to death in the barracks or on the battlefield below.

Rukia hugged Tilly from behind, cast a soothing magic on her, and said, "Don't worry, he's fine."

At this time, the form on the battlefield has undergone new changes.

The cannon fodder on Agrigento's side was defeated, and the mercenaries who were still able to move saw that they were invincible.

Some farmers and mercenaries who originally put corpses on the ground got up from the ground one by one and ran after them.

Unfortunate for the inexperienced Charles, he didn't get up the first time and was trampled a few times.

"Huh?" Donna exclaimed, "Why didn't Charles run?"

Gennaro said thoughtfully: "He may have his own plans."

"His status is special, and it would be bad for his reputation if he ran like this."

After eliminating the opponent's cannon fodder, Trapani's infantry began to press, and the cavalry began to move.

Adventurers and mercenaries from the Trapani side began to approach the Agrigento infantry, wielding their weapons against the arrows shot by the Agrigento archers, which in a short time came against them. Says it doesn't pose much of a threat.

The archers in the Bischberg Kingdom were of average level, and that level made Charles, who was lying on the ground ready to see the situation, shook his head.

Now that Agrigento's side has seen the tricks on the other side, Trapani's side has invested a lot of money to invite a lot of adventurers because it is located on the edge of the forest. Now these adventurers are consuming the arrows on their side and the arm strength of the archers in front of them, in order to take the lead in the next infantry battle.

Agrigento wasn't worried, and the outcome of the battle depended on the performance of the knights.

Now they have a lot of knights. As long as their knights kill the knights and cavalry on the opposite side, and then kill the infantry on the opposite side, the next step is to capture prisoners.

Just as the infantry on both sides began to engage, the knights of both sides swung their positions on the flanks and began a face-to-face charge.

The knights in full armor glowed with colorful lights, and the knights who received the blessing of magic and divine arts sprinted towards their respective goals.

The horse's hooves stepped heavily on the dry land, like a drum hammer hitting the drum surface, and the sound of "rumbling" shook every inch of the surrounding space and everyone's heart.

The girls on the mountain looked nervously at the place where Charles lay, not far from the battlefield where the knights fought.

The distance between the two sides is rapidly approaching, the lance has been raised, and the knights are ready to wait for the moment when the tip of the spear hits each other.

"It's on!" Gennaro shouted suddenly.

Donna let out a "hmm" and also paid attention to every change on the battlefield.

The colorful magic light on the twenty knights on the Trapani side suddenly disappeared, and the next moment, a thick layer of khaki magic light enveloped them.

At the same time, the knights suddenly turned slightly and charged towards the opponent's left flank.

"Perfect magic synchronization!" Gennaro praised sincerely.

I saw that those Trapani knights relied on the magic shield that was covered by nearly forty people at the same time, and they were not afraid of the opponent's attack. The enemy of the war was knocked off the horse.

"It's far from perfect." Donna said to Gennaro, "If you've seen the performance of Catherine's Praetorian Guards, you wouldn't say that. They're called perfection and art."

"They can switch between defense and offense at the moment of engagement."

"My old master failed to break their defense in the first blow, and the next moment they were switched to offensive mode and they were severely injured."

"If it wasn't for Pendragon to bring someone to the rescue~www.novelmt.com~ you would not have been born."

Gennaro moved in his heart and looked at Donna in surprise.

Donna glanced at him and continued: "At that time my master was the Archduke of Milan at that time."

"And the female dragon you saw that morning, her name is Nessario, and when I joined forces with your ancestors, we were defeated by her."

"At the time, none of us could have imagined that she could actually synchronize with the magic power of the demon army."

Here, Donna finished telling the history, and the first round of the knight battle under the mountain was over.

Twenty knights from Trapani knocked the dozen or so knights on the opposite left flank to the ground, instantly eliminating the numerical disadvantage.

The knights who fell to the ground were protected by sturdy armor and magic shields that had not yet been overloaded and failed. Even if they were stepped on by the opponent's horses, they were only seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness.

The twenty knights were unscathed, only one unlucky knight was ridden on horseback by Charles who jumped up from the ground, and then knocked unconscious by Charles and taken away.
