Chapter 308. The gaze is hideous
On the 3rd day of the march, Kant arrived at the central post station.
It was the 1,000 Svadian light infantry that slowed down the march.
If you advance in the marching mode of cavalry alone, you can reach the vicinity of the central post station in a day and a half, where is it necessary to force the whole army to force down the speed of the march and advance with the infantry as it is now.
But even so, the marching speed can be called fast.
The infantry trekked at a uniform pace.
Except for the rest time, they were all on the march.
With two legs, I walked the 3-day journey alive, and finally came to the desert plain where the central post station is located.
And in the center of the desert plain, next to the central post station, a troop was camping in Naanza, and there were supply convoys coming and going in the rear, looking lively.
Obviously, that is the troops of the Solid Stone Pass.
"Ready."
Kant spoke in a deep voice.
Behind them, the heralds passed orders on to the troops.
However, the troops in the rear did not advance directly, but quickly dispersed from the long serpentine marching column under the deep shouts of their respective captains, moving rapidly, and the whole team spread out horizontally.
This is their battle queue!
The central part is dominated by Svadia heavy horsemen.
On both sides are the left and right armies composed of light infantry, with 500 people as a group, and the black pressure is lined up in 3 rows, slowly standing still.
The light infantry is indeed the main resistance line.
But Kant didn't need them to fully stabilize the front yet.
Because just behind him, 50 extraordinary knights and 200 top knights, when they launched a frontal charge, they couldn't resist at all with the troops composed of the group of mercenaries below!
The mercenaries spotted Kant's department at the top of the dune.
The scale of 1,000 people is shocking enough.
The top of the dunes has been occupied.
Especially the knights, all of whom were dressed in heavy armor, with the sun shining on their heads, even if they were wearing linen burqas, they could feel the compelling majesty.
A spear with a pole of nearly 5 meters was erected, which was a riding spear as thick as a fist unique to the Kingdom of Svadia!
Able to pierce through several people alive and constantly armor-piercing cone-headed riding spears!
Kant led the troops to stand at the top of this sand dune, and the troops composed of mercenaries below were already frightened, and even ran out of their tents, and even the organized array was crooked and chaotic.
They are all old fritters on the battlefield, and they are all professional mercenaries.
Be able to tell the difference.
Or rather, know what kind of troops should not be provoked.
For example, at the top of the dune, the Kantian troops, with heavy cavalry as the center and infantry on both sides, belong to the type that cannot be provoked, or the type that must not be provoked!
On the sand dunes, there are 200+ elite heavy cavalry, and it is estimated that one round of charge can sweep them away!
These mercenaries don't have much cavalry.
Even if there were only more than 200 cavalrymen, they were all light cavalry wearing iron armor, and they were used for reconnaissance.
Want to resist the heavy cavalry that charges head-on and collides directly?
No kidding!
200 heavy cavalry, unless there are 500 of the most elite, dare to sacrifice heavy armored pikemen infantry can resist, even so, the terrifying inertia brought by the charge in the peak state, even if the horse is killed, can be smashed into the depths of the crowd like a boulder thrown by a trebuchet, it is estimated that 50 heavy cavalry killed, can smash the spear phalanx alive.
Now, these mercenaries did have pikemen, but they were not heavily armoured, nor did they have elite infantry, nor did they have soldiers who dared to sacrifice to stop the heavy cavalry charge.
Some are just a bunch of greedy, greedy mercenaries who see money!
They don't even want their lives for money.
But in order to make more money, they will not throw their lives on the battlefield of their employers!
Even to make money, if the price offered by the enemy is high enough, they can fight back on the battlefield!
Mercenary.
One of the most infamous names is incomparable!
The group of mercenaries were almost in a hurry, carrying the large silver coins that had been in their arms, wearing the chain mail and iron-inlaid armor issued by the solid stone pass, as well as all kinds of weapons in their hands, and they were ready to flee as soon as the battle situation was not going well.
Even those mercenary captains who had been drinking with Baron Dylan before and pretending to be arrogant had this plan.
No one is a fool who wants to die.
The tide has turned.
Originally, they were indeed the Rolf who threatened the station.
It's very unpleasant to look at that arrogant guy.
But now, they found that Rolf, this guy, even Baron Dylan, dared to slap the table, and the arrogance of going to war was really confident.
Now, Rolf's confidence has come, and their confidence has disappeared.
Completely gone.
When Baron Dylan walked out of the station, his breathing couldn't help but be a little shorter.
At the top of the dunes, the hundreds of heavy cavalry were extremely intimidating, not to mention the heavily armed on the left and right, wearing nail chain mail, armed with Germanic swords and fan shields, which could be worthy of the main infantry.
Compared to the messy group of mercenaries below, both equipment and discipline are completely explosive!
"Hahahaha!"
Rolf's arrogant laughter rang out.
He walked forward quickly, and the elite of the desert bandits next to him brought his war horse, and Rolf turned over his horse neatly, but asked Baron Dylan reservedly: "Do you want to go together to meet Lord Kant?" ”
"Heh, no need, I'm just waiting here for Xiaokang to come over." Baron Dylan replied coldly.
"Later, please."
He was answered by Rolf's answer with an arrogant laugh.
"Humph!" Baron Dylan snorted coldly.
Watching Rolf lead the team quickly to the dune location to greet him, his whole face became more and more gloomy, he turned his head to look at the vassal knights behind him, hesitated for a moment, but still came to the side of the two strange knights, and asked in a low voice: "Now the situation is very unfavorable for us, if... No, if we go to war with Kant, a little cub, we will definitely be in a weak position, after all, their troops look very well-organized. ”
"Well, you have a point." The two strange knights nodded, but their arrogant appearance did not take Baron Dylan in their eyes at all, and waved their hands like real generals: "You negotiate with him first to find out the situation of Kant." ”
"Yes." Baron Dylan nodded, but when he looked down, the look in his eyes was extremely resentful.
Received funding from the forces of the Eastern County Lord.
The forces that also represent the Eastern County Territory began to infiltrate his forces.
Baron Dylan, who has lost the ability to control himself, has lost the capital to compete with the forces of the Eastern County Leader when he has passed through the great knight of his right-hand man and is cut off.
Look up at the approaching Kant and the massive troops.
Baron Dylan's eyes twinkled.
The power of the Eastern Commandery is huge, and he is not actually needed to join, just because the location of the Solid Stone Pass is so good, it happens to be in the pass of the Sanwaya Mountains, in the very center of the salt trade.
If the overall situation has been decided, it is estimated that he, the baron of the solid stone pass, will be transferred away if he is lucky.
If you're unlucky, you'll probably disappear mysteriously.
Those high-ranking aristocrats who eat people and don't spit out bones have always played like this.
However, for now, he still chose to forbear, and walked towards his mercenary legion with these two strange knights, as well as his vassal knights.
Looking at the vassal knights, licking their faces to flatter, Baron Dylan felt disgusted.
"Lord Dylan."
Beside him, the vassal knight who had been following him for a long time spoke softly: "Now, these guys from the Eastern County Territory are getting more and more crossed, I don't think it will be long, Lord Dylan, your authority is going to..."
"Shut up!" Baron Dylan glared at him viciously.
Turning his head, no one noticed them, so he reminded him softly: "Now we still have to rely on them, don't make any mistakes for me, if we lose them, we probably won't even be able to stay in the solid stone pass, if you don't want to be a wandering knight like before, then shut up for me." ”
This vassal knight was Baron Dylan's good friend at the beginning, and like the vassal knight who was killed or captured together with 600 knight squires, he was once an elite cavalry brought by Princess Sophia in the Silver Plate Kingdom.
That's why the three of them can stand shoulder to shoulder, as close as brothers.
However, when Baron Dylan became the lord of the Solid Stone Pass, there were more things to think about, and the distance was also a lot more divided.
The vassal knight shut up.
It's just that there is still a look of indignation on his face.
Looking at the knights who licked their faces, he gritted his teeth and cursed: "These damn guys, when they were wandering knights, but you, Lord Dylan, took them in, and now they turn around and forget about it!" ”
"I mean you shut up."
Baron Dylan snorted coldly.
However, there was also a little more gloomy between his eyebrows, and his steps paused slightly, and he turned his head to look at the most trusted vassal knight, and a little cruelty appeared in his eyes, but he quickly disappeared: "I have a task to explain to you." ”
"You say." The vassal knight nodded.
"I need you to cause some accidents... For example... In this way..."Baron Dylan whispered to him, and a hideous look flashed in his eyes: "Understood? ”
"But so... My fate..."The vassal knight gasped.
"Don't worry."
Baron Dylan patted him on the shoulder: "I'll protect you." After a pause, he looked into his eyes and said very solemnly: "The three of us came over even the most difficult time, and now there are only 2 of us left, if I can't rely on you and can't keep you, what friends do I have?" ”
The vassal knight hesitated, but looking at Baron Dylan's firm eyes, he still nodded affirmatively: "I know!" ”
"Good!"
Baron Dylan patted him on the shoulder.
Both of them looked at Kant, and their eyes were a little hideous and ruthless.
PS: Recently, I had a bad cold, and the update didn't work, and I have been hanging the bottle for 2 days, and I don't want to explain too much. In the past, there will be a lot of explosions. Some of the apprentices, who are not even apprentices, are a little irritable when they come to spray people. It's not like you guys bring the rhythm, it's enough.
