Arcane Universe

For large-scale marches, the speed of course can’t be compared with Feng Chou’s fast horse and whip, but the physical strength of these powerful fighters is not comparable to that of an ordinary person. Therefore, this army’s speed at ten o’clock in the morning At that time, he arrived at the gentleman collar of Claire.

The army directly stopped to rest in the farmland led by Gentleman Claire, and the crops in the farmland were trampled down.

Feng Chou saw from a distance, a middle age person who looked like a gentleman and wanted to get in front of the Antalia Knight group.

The young and handsome Sir Alston Antalia was talking to several senior officers there.

As a result, before the middle-aged gentleman approached, he was sent home by a brightly armored Knight.

Feng Chou knows several entourages behind this middle-aged gentleman. They are all the leading figures in Claire’s leadership. It is not difficult to guess that this person should be the gentleman Claire himself.

Looking at the gentleman coming up, he was pleased with his face, not at all, what an angry look, Feng Chou knew that directly driving the army into the farmland to rest, he should have obtained the consent of the lord, anyway Compensation for such a small crop is completely not worth mentioning for the Antalia earl family.

Otherwise, this kind of arrogant entry into the territories of other nobles and trampling on crops is definitely a trampling on the noble law, and it will definitely cause strong backlash from all the nobles and the “Nobles and the God of Knight” church.

Knight and the soldiers ate the marching dry food with the water in the kettle, and the mercenaries took out the jerky and ate the ale in the kettle.

After eating, and taking a break, a dozen or so mercenary groups, led by five highly respected mercenary union investigators, were divided into five groups and entered the forest first.

The targets of these five groups of mercenaries are five gnoll camps located all around the ogre camp.

The five gnoll camps should be the outer vassals and outposts of the ogre camp.

The mission of the five groups of mercenaries is to eliminate them. At least they have to drag the five jackal camps outside, so that they do not reinforce the ogre camp and appear behind the main human army.

After the five groups of mercenaries left, there are only five mercenary teams left in Gentleman Claire’s territory. These five teams are the five strongest Antalia teams. At two hundred people, they are extremely elite, with small-scale combat capabilities, even stronger than the Antalia Knight regiment.

The missions of these few remaining mercenary regiments are the same as those of the tigers in the forest. After the front battlefield is launched, they will raid the ogre camp from the side and rear.

The army rested for more than ten minutes before starting again.

The first action was the scouts in the army. They were thrown into the jungle like fishing nets to prevent the subsequent army from being attacked in the marching state.

After the scouts scattered, the Knights left their attendants to take care of the horses and walked into the forest. The wizards then entered the forest under the protection of the wizard guard, followed by the city defense army, followed by the five mercenary regiments.

There are not many teams of more than a thousand people, and there are many long teams of several hundred meters when marching.

The army assembled in a clearing a few kilometers north of the ogre camp. By the time Feng Chou and the tigers in the forest arrived at the assembly site, the regular army had already formed a square formation, facing ogre in a square formation. The camp advanced slowly.

The five mercenary regiments also placed their usual battle formations, following behind the regular army, slowly advancing forward.

The human army finally advanced to the front of the ogre camp and formed a position on the mountain beam directly opposite the gate of the ogre camp.

This is the same as Feng Chou guessed. The best way to attack the camp on the top of the mountain beam is to attack the ogre camp outside the main entrance of the camp. Attacking from other directions is a very unfavorable upward attack.

To be honest, the location of this camp is really tricky.

Fortunately, the height of the mountain beam in front of the ogre camp is not high, the slope is very gentle, and the top of the slope is quite wide, barely allowing humans to expand their formation.

In order to cope with this kind of terrain, the Antalia Knight regiment at the forefront put up a ∧-shaped front arrow formation. In this way, both defense and offense can force the enemy into unfavorable terrain. Of course , The premise is that you must be able to stand it.

About fifty meters away from the rear of the Knight regiment, a battallion wizard guard formed a circular formation to protect several wizards in the center of the formation.

Two battallion city defense forces were placed on the slopes of the two wings of the Knight regiment.

The five elite mercenary regiments were divided into two. The tigers in the forest and the other two lesser mercenary regiments stopped on the right side of the right-wing city defense army. The other two were slightly more powerful. More mercenary regiments line up on the left side of the left-wing city defense army battallion, looking like these mercenary regiments are going to guard the left and right wings of the Knight regiment like the city defense army.

But if you look closely, you will find that the positions of the two mercenaries are too far forward. If the arrangement of the entire human army is regarded as a big crab, then the positions of the two groups of mercenaries are like It is the big tongs of a crab, which is slightly forward, and can strike forward from both sides at any time, assaulting the opponent’s wings.

The ogre camp seems to be a little flustered. A group of ogre of about a hundred people, waving their whips, drove a large group of wolves, about three-four hundred people, rushing out of the camp’s gate. Facing humans away from the Knight regiment more than a hundred meters.

If you look at the military memory of Feng Chou at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the behavior of this group of ogre is very strange. Since there is a strong camp, why come out for a decisive battle?

But if you look at it from the perspective of this World, this choice seems normal, because the existence of the wizard, like this kind of fragile temporary camp that has not been strengthened by spell, is fundamentally impossible to withstand in front of the wizard A single blow, whether it is “Arcane bomb”, “Fireball”, or a Level 3 spell such as “Mage Siege Hammer”, it can easily destroy such wooden fences and gates.

While the opponent is still in the hectic space, in the human army, whether it is the Knights of the Antalia Knight regiment or the guards of the Mage Guard, they all took out scrolls and potions, and began to bless themselves with spells.

“Ferricism Potion”, “Heroic Potion”, “Advanced Enchanted Weapons” scrolls, “Advanced Enchanted Armor” scrolls… each spell was blessed on the soldiers.

Even ordinary fighters in the city defense army also produced some low-level ones, such as “Brute Force Potion”, “Agile Potion”, “capture the enemy’s intention in advance” scroll, and “Magic Weapon” “Scrolls, “Magic Armor” scrolls… and other buffing potions and scrolls bless themselves.

Only the mercenaries remained indifferent.

Feng Chou looked at the comparison of the battle strengths of the two sides. There were 250 well-trained Knights, all equipped with heavy-duty black steel Battle Armor and spell blessing, with an average level of nearly seven. As the vanguard, there are two hundred and fifty mage guards of the same strength behind, guarding a Level 14 senior mage, and four intermediate mages with an average level of 8 or higher, as a killer.

The mage of this era is different from the ancient mage. As long as the mage of this era has enough funds and sufficient preparation, armed with scrolls and wands, they are almost unlimited spell jets, four Intermediate mage is enough to change the outcome of a war.

There are also two city defense battallions on the two wings, with a total of 500 people. The city defense forces with an average level of Level 4 and above serve as flank guards. There are nearly two hundred powerful mercenaries farther away as surprise soldiers.

On the opposite side of the human army, there are only three-four hundred jackals that’s all driven by more than a hundred ogre, even though this group of ogre is wearing thick steel essence armor, even though this group of jackals They all have decent armors and weapons, but they are still not worth mentioning compared to the strength of the human army.

Regardless of number, strength, or discipline, the advantage lies on the human side. It can even be said that the human side is fighting the rabbit with the lion.

But I don’t know why, Feng Chou is always a little frightened when he sees this scene in front of him, and his mind is always involuntarily jumping out of the picture of five humans visiting this camp that night.
