The sun is scorching.

The old knight raised his head and looked at the endless battlefield in front of him. On the other side of the horizon, the low, barely threatening walls of Passus can be seen. As an elite knight, he didn't need any help, and could clearly see that there was nothing on the wall except for a group of soldiers standing guard and patrolling. There is no "mysterious weapon" as they imagined, and there is nothing "weird". Of course, if there is anything strange, it is that the group of soldiers in front of them does not look like those highly trained elites in any way, although they have worked hard to improve their morale, but the old knight can see at a glance that these soldiers are only slightly stronger than the militia. Among the legions of the Shining Gold Empire, these people are not even a first-level establishment.

With such soldiers, can defeat front-line divisions?

The old knight shook his head, not believing such a ridiculous thing. But how can this qiē be explained at the moment? It's an endless swampy plain with few obstacles as far as the eye can see. In any case, he could not imagine how the front-line divisions could be wiped out by the other side in such a place. Logically speaking, such a battlefield is the best choice for an army with numerical superiority, and even if Pastan is an incompetent wine bag who can only shout and charge, this battle is still won. In his experience as a veteran, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think that the front-line legions would be defeated in such a place, and they would still be defeated.

But anyway............... They failed after all.

Thinking of this, the old knight sighed, and then he turned his head. He looked at the soldiers behind him with a stern face.

"Remember our duty, the Legion Commander is watching us from behind!!"

"Yes! Captain!! ”

Hear the old knight talking. The soldiers all nodded solemnly. They know what their mission is and what they are going to do now. It was to test the other party and see what those Passusians were capable of. I have to admit that this is no different from sending them to death in a certain way, but as a soldier, it is their duty to obey orders. Therefore, even if they knew that there might be no return this time, they could only do it head-on.

"Let's go!!"

Looking at his subordinates with satisfaction, the old knight's eyes showed some relief, and then the next moment he drew his long sword and pointed forward. And on his side. The warriors, spears in hand and shields in hand, lined up in three columns and cautiously marched forward.

"They're starting to move forward."

Standing on the hillside in the distance behind her, Charlotte blinked, looked at the soldiers who were moving slowly in the distance, and said in a heavy tone. Barkley also sighed when he spoke, although it was not a big deal to test each other before a war began. But such a frightening "foreplay" made them very depressed. The opponent does not play his cards at all. In the face of such an opponent, they have no good way at all, they can only take one step at a time, and this situation is the last thing that every qualified battlefield general is willing to encounter.

"Let's hope our judgment is correct...............

Look at the soldiers advancing in the distance. Barkley touched his own moment and muttered to himself.

At the same time, the first wave of soldiers, led by the old knight, had already reached the stream. There were more than 150 of them in all, and they belonged to the 1st Infantry Column of the 3rd Division. Everyone is a veteran of the bloody battlefield, so they naturally know what to do. I saw them raise their shields to guard against possible surprise attacks and cold arrows on the walls, and their other hands clenched their weapons in case of any unexpected situation that might arise at any time. The soldiers in the rear had already raised their bows and arrows in order to return fire when the opponent fired.

It's just that what puzzled the old knight was that even if he had entered the attack range of the stronghold, the soldiers on the city wall still had no intention of attacking them. Not to mention attacking, they didn't even make a posture of vigilance. On the contrary, after seeing them coming, the soldiers who were in charge of guarding the city wall came to the wall one by one, looking curiously in this direction, as if waiting for something.

What the hell is going on with these Passusians?

The strange scene in front of him made the old knight and the second monk puzzled, but became more and more vigilant. He subconsciously took a few steps back and looked around again---yes, there was nothing but the endless plains and swamps. There is nothing to obscure one's vision, and in this case, there can be no ambush and no trap.........

At this time, the first column of soldiers had already crossed the creek and stepped onto the riverbank.

And at this moment, a flash of light flashed through the old knight's eyes, and the next moment, he saw several infantry tumbling into the air, and then landing on the ground.

"Boom!!"

The dull sound of explosions did not ring out until this moment.

"There are traps!! Watch your step!! ”

Seeing this, the old knight was taken aback, and then he quickly looked around and called out loudly.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

With that flash of light as the center, as if a signal had been ignited, the ground beneath the feet of the infantry suddenly began to change. Spikes flew out from the depths of the earth, spun and tore through the armor of steel, piercing the soldiers in front of them. The cold light of the knife flashed, and the next moment I saw a crescent-like blade pop out of the crack in the earth, and without pause, it split an unlucky man standing in front of him in half, along with the shield in his hand.

For a moment, the entire riverbank was like a hell on earth, and the sound of explosions, punctures, and screams melted into one. The old knight sat on his horse in a daze, staring intently at the tragedy that had happened in front of him. He watched as the squad leader leaped up at the moment of the explosion, dodging the flames and air currents that followed, but the moment he landed and rolled around, two sharp blades suddenly flew out of the ground without warning. Staggered and swirled and flew towards their target. Poor squad leader is an elite level warrior at all, but there is nothing he can do in the face of such a sudden attack. He barely swung his sword to block the blade on his left, only to be cut off by the sharp blade that flew from his right. And the moment his body fell to the ground. A huge, toothy trap bounced up, clacking his corpse like a beast with sharp teeth.

"Stand back!! Back off!! ”

At this moment, the old knight finally reacted, he hurriedly shouted loudly and motioned for the others to retreat, and those soldiers reacted quickly, most of the soldiers who did not go ashore immediately quickly retreated, and distanced themselves from the terrible battlefield of death. It only took a few minutes, but the soldiers in the first queue were almost completely annihilated. When I looked up, I could only see the mutilated corpses lying on the ground. As for the sharp thorns that suddenly appeared before. The blades of steel and the other mess vanished silently, as if they had never existed.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers couldn't help but look at each other, and only saw each other's extremely pale faces.

"What's that?"

At this moment, Barkley, who was in the rear, also saw what happened on the battlefield, he frowned, and asked in a low voice. Hearing his question, Charlotte was silent for a moment before answering.

"Looks like a magic trap..............."

"You mean to say. He put magic traps on the battlefield? ”

Hearing Charlotte's answer, Barkley muttered in disbelief, his eyes almost popping out of his sockets.

And no wonder he was so surprised, on the Klein continent. There was no such thing as mines and bombs. But there are still a few magic traps. It's just that most of them are actually triggered magic arrays, such as etching a burst spell into a piece of floor, which will trigger the spell to explode when a person steps on it. It's just that this trap is one-time and quite expensive. Generally speaking. Only those large families would choose to place such traps in their own tombs. And now, there are people who put such a trap on the battlefield. Did the lord of Passus think he had too much money?

"I have to admit that placing a certain number of magic traps on the front of the battlefield can really help, but ......... The number of such traps should not be too many. ”

Charlotte's judgment is not entirely unreasonable, you must know that this swamp is quite large, and there are woods, rivers and lakes on both sides to block it, if you want to lay all the magic traps here, not to mention the cost is astronomical, and it is not cost-effective, because magic traps are triggered, can only be used once, and there is no use when they are used up. From any Commander's point of view, such traps are only suitable for surprise soldiers, although they do have the potential to affect an army at first. But as long as these traps can be bulldozed, they will be less threatening.

"Anyway, we've got some useful information."

Hearing Charlotte's words, Barkley snorted coldly and spoke. Charlotte also thought deeply about this, although they lost some soldiers, but being able to get this information was also very valuable to them.

And at this time, the troops below also launched an operation again.

Under the orders of the old knight, the second and third columns of soldiers quickly spread out their scattered formations, and the light cavalry on horseback also came to separate the two wings, apparently, he intended to continue in this way while avoiding entering the opponent's magic trap area again. Obviously, the old knight's judgment is the same as Charlotte's, thinking that this kind of thing is at most put on the front of the battlefield, and it should not be possible to arrange it all over the street. Soon, he gave another order, and the scattered infantry and light cavalry immediately moved into action, advancing in the direction of the stronghold from all sides.

There should be no problem now.

Looking at the soldiers scattered below, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief. If you can find out how big this magical trap area is, it will be a good ending. After all, no matter what, it is impossible for the other party to spread magic traps all over the battlefield.

But soon, Jenn used practical actions to show everyone how crazy he really was.

The moment the soldiers crossed the stream and stepped onto the land that belonged to Passus, the flames of the explosion flickered again, engulfing a qiē. (To be continued......)
