Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 315: Beacon smoke

In the dark wilderness of early spring, you can smell the new buds of vegetation, and the bushes, thorns and weeds are still the unchanging scenery on the plain.

In this era, because of the harsh living environment and the slow population growth, it is no small size to be able to pull out a team of more than 700 people in this wild land.

At this time, the team has formed a defensive formation as much as possible. The monsters around the Freedom City have been effectively eliminated through the continuous killing of adventurers and military training. I dare not say no, but it will no longer hinder the team's progress.

Putting aside the solemnity of leaving the territory at the beginning, the soldiers are now in good spirits and began to look up and observe the surroundings. Some of them are still recruits, who have only participated in field experience, and some are veterans who often see blood and have a little experience.

Of course, the veterans are actually not too old, just usually kill murlocs and monsters.

In terms of weapon equipment, there are knives, forks, swords, shields, maces, short guns, and battle axes.

In terms of protection, the current blacksmith craftsmanship in the Liberty City territory can be made of plate armor, scale armor, chain armor, and full-covered breast armor.

Plate armor, scale armor, and full-covered breast armor are relatively heavy. Although chain armor has the advantage of being light, it can only effectively defend against stabbing and slashing attacks. The defense against blunt and heavy weapons such as shackles and maces is very weak.

Initially, Sol asked the blacksmith Jeff to create all of them, and then he asked Steante to verify it himself.

In the end, Stant gave the answer. He usually likes to wear chain armor, because the lightness of chain armor will not affect the flexibility of the body. Although those in the plate armor were fully protected, Steant threatened to feel like a crab when they were attached to him.

Thor brought back a small number of the armors of the Court of Order and the Holy See of Light, and they didn't get much cheers after they were distributed. The armor styles were similar to the craftsmanship of the Free City, the difference was that they seemed to be high-quality steel forging technology.

Later, when Jeff's blacksmiths' union was established, some of them brought new smelting techniques. A leaf armor that combines the characteristics of scale armor and chain armor came into being. Once it was launched, it was very popular with soldiers, and it began to become the standard equipment of the Scarlet Cross.

Now Stant is wearing a leaf armor, Thor is carrying a sword, and the leather armor is over a black coat. As for Diller, a complete leather armor has never changed from start to finish, and that's how it is in this life.

Stant and Sol walked in front of the team, chatting without a word. Diller continued to play the role of a loyal dogleg, surrounded by Rose, constantly emitting a sour smell.

Rose was also in the team after she was successfully promoted to Tier 3 and awakened.

Currently Sol is Tier 4, Stant and Diller and Rose are Tier 3. Not surprisingly, it shouldn't be too difficult to win this battle. Until now, Diller's manpower did not report that Hallowell had new reinforcements.

As for the news of the Scarlet Cross team's expedition, it should have been in Hallowell's hands.

This is not surprising, there must be the opponent's eyeliner in the territory of Freedom City, after all, people can buy it after all. Even if the quality of life in the City of Freedom is far better than that of its surroundings, with the changes in life and horizons, the greed of human nature is constantly being distorted and upgraded.

It is not difficult to send the news before the arrival of the Scarlet Cross by using the homing crow or pigeon or other weird methods.

The most dangerous part of the dark wilderness is to spend the night, but that is for individual individuals or small adventure teams. The size of a team like the Scarlet Cross, unless it is encountered with groups of war-threatening enemies, generally rarely encounters head-to-head with the team.

However, everyone never dared to relax. From time to time, they could receive scattered information from the scouts walking around the team. Sometimes there were small-scale wolves, or some weird-looking individual monsters passing by the team.

When camping overnight, hundreds of old tents were spread out in a circular shape to form temporary camps, surrounded by bonfires and the main camp. Most soldiers have long been accustomed to handling food in the wilderness, but the experience of staying overnight is relatively new.

The entire Scarlet Cross is equivalent to the organization of fifteen squadrons. The squadron is enough to watch the night, and the rotation can't be completed overnight.

There have been two friction-like battles along the way, both of which occurred overnight, but fortunately there were no casualties.

In this way, the team maintained a steady rush speed. It took the first five days to finish the journey of almost eight days, and the remaining six or seven days used three more days to resume normal marching speed, and the last three days entered the pre-war preparation.

As the team progressed to about the tenth day, the lights of Kunston, the lord of Hallowell, could be seen from a distance.

There are three small towns and one village in the entire Hallowell Territory. You must start from the main town of Kunston, because Lord Hallowell’s residence is here. As for other villages and towns, we have to wait until the main town is taken down before we can get involved.

The first to meet the Scarlet Cross team was the scout who returned with new intelligence, which came from the nails Diller had planted before.

At present, the entire territory of Hallowell's troops are assembled in Kunston. According to intelligence, the enemy is about 2,000 people. It sounds scary, the number has nearly tripled from the Scarlet Cross, but Sol and others don't care too much.

It is conceivable that the fineness of the other party is bound to be uneven, and there must be many ordinary people of low-level or even no rank mixed in it.

The hunter and peasant militia group, mercenaries and adventurers are paired with regular guards, and more quality personal protection is around the lord. In short, the real combat power will not be too much. The form of war in the border territories is roughly the same, and pooling the number of people is considered an old trick.

In the dark wilderness, it is generally impossible to fight ambushes. There are too many variables. The only worry for the three of Sols is only two aspects. One is that the opponent has arranged the battlefield in advance and laid traps, and the other is that the opponent has some strong support hiding in the team.

Although it seems that there is no strong support from the intelligence obtained, the intelligence is only intelligence after all, and it may not be guaranteed that drips will not be revealed. And it’s hard to say about connections. Although Thor held down Kennazi’s reinforcements, there were other territories behind Hallowell.

The first aspect was not a big problem. When they were close to the distance where the two sides could face each other far, the attacking direction of the entire Scarlet Cross team turned from the front battlefield to Kunston's side. This can reduce the possibility of encountering traps to a certain extent, if any,

As for the second question of whether there is strong support, Thor and Stet Diller will personally verify it.

With the deviation of the Scarlet Cross team, Kunston immediately adjusted and changed the side to the frontal battlefield.

In this battle, Thor threw the command to Stanter, who was usually his training soldier, and Thor had no interest in this.

The two people and horses faced each other far away at a certain distance. There were torches on Kunston's side, and the Scarlet Cross was hidden in the darkness. The encouragement that should have been said before the war, the whole battlefield was very quiet at this time, and gradually evolved into a solemn atmosphere of solemnity.

There were no war drums and flags flying, and no shouting and swearing in front of the battle. At most, the recruits shuddered.

Lizardman Stanter held a torch and walked to the front in a scarlet and eye-catching cloak.

Saul was stunned, thinking he was going to charge? Isn't this the same as the negotiated one? Facts proved that I was thinking too much. This should be some kind of order or a gesture, or maybe some ritual in the guy's hometown of Stanter.

Following Stanter's movements, the soldiers behind him lit torches, showing restless faces under the torches. Soon the torches spread in pieces to the rear, and the entire Scarlet Cross burned, and all the hostility no longer hid.

"After a while, remember to call ‘Kakasia’ when you’re interested." Sol suddenly turned his head and said to Diller beside him.

"Kakasia? What is that?" Diller looked puzzled.

"The lingua franca of the ancient continent means'the sword is pointed by the blade and the blade of grass does not grow.' It is very imposing. In short, you are right to shout when you are happy." Sol said with a serious face.

Diller felt that something was wrong, but when he saw Sol's solemn face, he nodded without knowing it.

The Kunston army on the opposite side saw the scarlet cross torch swaying, and they separated the main battlefield one after another, showing their own team of mages. It seems that there are still a few leather archers in the team, and I don't know how archery is.

Scarlet Cross also has its own team of wizards.

The mage against the mage, before the battle, has always been the practice of battles in the territory.

It's a pity that the Sol people have always been wild roads, and naturally they don't follow any **** conventions.

Seeing the other party showing the mage lineup, the three exchanged their sights.

"Mage, let me go, midway." Thor drew his sword and swung it around in his hand.

"I'm on the left." Stant inserted the torch obliquely behind his back, pulled out his knives and rubbed the sparks.

Diller didn't say anything, he was already sullen and started rushing.

Three freaks holding torches, just like that, three people split left, center, and right to pounce on the enemy, the castration was still fierce.

After the three of them ran out for a while, the brigade behind them also began to rush forward.

After fighting with goblins that winter, Diller threatened that this kind of personal heroism was very good and easy to show off. Stanter also threatened that he likes this kind of run, and he feels very passionate about it.

So let's play again today by the way.

Of course, the three of them are not just for playing. The main role of high-level combat power on the field is to create local chaos in the enemy's battlefield with their individual strength. Or take the lead in killing the mage and other long-range, reducing the casualties of the melee behind them.

There is another purpose. As long as the three of them kill through a wave first, if the opposing team has any hard hands, they will almost run into it.

At an appropriate distance, the three of Sol threw three torches almost simultaneously.

Three torches whirled and flew towards the enemy. Stanter's helmet that had smashed a certain idiot bounced into the air, and Sol was a little bit too angled to avoid magic along the way, and no one hit it. Diller may have found nothing because his hands were too short.

"Ha, mine, eat three meals per house, especially Sol." Stanter ran out and suddenly stretched out his fingers to force Sol a little, then leaned back out with a rough laugh like a lung disease, and rushed towards the enemy.

Thor tilted his head and smiled. As he got closer, he no longer dodged. He wrapped the monster cloak behind him to the front, and slammed into the wizard team directly against various fireballs and ice spikes.
