Great Nobleman

Chapter 26 The broken line of defense

Brand, who was hiding in the carriage, was relatively calm at first.

Through the window of the carriage, he could see the orderly defense and counterattack of the guards outside under the instructions of Chief Guard Anderson.

Although the formation formed by the guards was slowly retreating, according to Yersin, it was only to allow strategic depth.

Because the formation is deliberately pushed forward when it is placed, there is still a lot of space behind.

Therefore, even though Brand didn't know exactly what Yersin meant by strategic depth, he probably understood that there were only a few arrows that could threaten him now.

And the carriage they are riding in is specially made by him at a "huge amount of money".

It is almost impossible for ordinary bows and arrows to shoot through the built-in metal.

The facts were similar to what he thought, and the arrows occasionally shot on the carriage only made him hear it in the end.

But what happened afterwards, Brand didn't quite understand.

After Chief Anderson's bodyguard "casually" killed a "slightly imposing" "bandit".

The situation on the entire battlefield instantly became tense.

Just when Brand was at a loss, the caring Catherine explained softly in his ear:

"The bandit killed by Uncle Anderson's knight secret technique was a middle-level knight."

Knight's secret skill?

Intermediate knight?

The bandit of the intermediate knight! ?

After hearing Catherine's explanation, Brand's eyes also became serious.

Even Brand, who is so ignorant and ignorant, knows it.

Although the goods of the Holland family caravan were of extraordinary value, they were not worthy of the fearless charge of the middle-level knights.

——The cost of training an intermediate knight is much higher than the value of this little cargo!

So the enemy's strategic intentions are already obvious.

They came for the two descendants of the Holland family, Brand and Yersin.

Although Brand's reaction was a little slower.

However, Yersin, who has excellent military literacy, immediately noticed this fact.

After carefully evaluating the situation on the battlefield in the carriage, Yersin said:

"The formation may be broken at any time, let's go out now!"

While speaking, Yersin lifted the carpet on the floor of the carriage, revealing the secret door hidden underneath.

But just as Yersin was about to open the secret door and take the lead to sneak out from under the carriage, he suddenly remembered something.

Turning his head and glanced at Brand who was following him, although his face was a little dazed, he was still "radiant"...

... Yersin was silent for a second, and then suggested: "I think you need to pretend."

Soon, a "white-bearded old man" wearing a large white cloak and two tightly wrapped "iron cans" got out from under the carriage.

Because all kinds of carriages and goods of the caravan were piled up together, under the cover of various obstacles, they changed their hiding positions without anyone noticing.

"Do you want to tell Chief Guard Anderson?"

Although under the premise that the defense line was breached, Brand's special carriage was indeed a bit "conspicuous".

They've also now moved to an unremarkable location.

But Brand felt something was still wrong.

In his opinion, if the defense line is really breached later, with the strength of Catherine and Yersin, they may not be able to protect themselves in the chaos.

Although both Catherine and Yersin expressed support for Brand's proposal in their hearts.

However, the ever-changing battlefield did not give them any room to implement their plans.

There was a flash of white light in the forest next to the road, and then a bolt of lightning shot out, right in the middle of the head of the bodyguard Anderson who was standing on the roof of the carriage and staring at the battlefield below.

Although Anderson's keen perception made him immediately raise his shield to defend, the paralysis effect of this spell and the huge impact force still knocked him out.

At the same time, another mid-level knight dressed as a bandit sneaked into the front line of defense with the crowd without anyone noticing.

The moment Captain Anderson was hit by the spell, he charged towards the line of defense.

"boom!"

There was a sudden sound of heavy metal collisions, and two bodyguards in full body armor were knocked out together with the shields and spears in their hands.

Although the impact did not cause them much damage, the crowded flow of people has been pouring in along the gap.

As the guards next to him were continuously "squeezed away", the gap in the defense line began to expand rapidly.

"Scatter the formation! Gradually move closer to the carriage! Each defends!"

Captain Anderson, who struggled to stand up from the ground, saw this scene and quickly gave orders.

Because the opponent has a large number of people, it is difficult to make up for the gap in the defense line.

Instead of waiting for the precarious defense line to collapse completely, it is better to let the guards let go first and form a scattered formation in small groups.

Judging from the current situation, the caravan of the Holland family must suffer losses.

Thinking of this, Anderson glanced at the "old man with white beard" hiding beside a certain truck and the two "iron cans" beside him.

After secretly gesturing to the guards staying behind, Anderson leaned over to the position of Brand's special carriage.

On Brand's side, after the line of defense was breached, Catherine and Yersin guarded Brand, the "old man with long beard", on the left and right.

At the very beginning, the bandits all rushed towards them fearlessly.

However, after Brand pulled the two of them away from the truck.

The pressure suddenly eased.

Bandits, they just want to grab some property.

Because both Catherine and Yersin had blood-stained swords, looking fierce.

Except for a few idiots without eyesight, all the robbers turned their heads and "killed" the carriage full of goods.

Not only the guards of the Holland family, but other "bandits" were also their targets.

Seeing such a crazy scene, the three of Brand unconsciously retreated to the side of the road, making room for the bandits.

Although most of the bandits in front of them were weak chickens who were only a little stronger than Brand, they still had a lot of people, and even a lot of ants could kill an elephant.

In fact, many people in the caravan who lack combat effectiveness made the same choice as the three of Brand.

It's just some goods, and you can make money after you lose your money.

"boom!"

While the bandits were busy looting all kinds of goods from Holland's house, a fierce battle took place around Brand's special carriage.

The loud noise just now was caused by Chief Guard Anderson raising his shield to block the spear thrown towards the carriage in the distance.

You can tell by the loud noise of the collision, even though Brand's carriage is specially made.

But in the face of such a powerful spear, the ending will definitely not be too good.

Soon, several spears were thrown towards the direction of the carriage in the distance.

Under Anderson's instructions, he himself blocked the most threatening ones, and several guards cooperated to resist the others.

—Brand's carriage was unscathed.

By this time, most of the bandits consciously avoided Brand's carriage.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the things there are not something weak chickens like them can touch.

Under the guardianship of Captain Anderson, Brand's specially-made carriage was unscathed.

Although the guards retreated from the front line were divided by the bandits, they also began to gather in the direction of Anderson.

The form is excellent.

But Anderson is still very vigilant.

Although there are no enemies at the advanced knight level for the time being.

But the opponent has a mage who can cast spells remotely.

You know, the mage's spells are not so easy to resist.

Although his heavy armor looks bluffing, it is not much different from a suit of commoner clothes in front of spells, and its spell resistance is almost non-existent.
