A team of two hundred people was quickly organized. These included thirty German warriors recruited by Bert, twenty light infantry from the Morphea Mountains, fifty orc warriors recruited by Shiluo, twenty Leitening mercenary warriors recruited by Bastanai, and three Ten Leitning archery masters, and fifty Elaide warriors that Roland met. The advantage of this army composed entirely of mercenaries is that its individual combat effectiveness is excellent, but its disadvantage is that it is very disunited.
They have become small, tight-knit teams, squeezing each other and making it impossible to integrate. However, they can handle most enemies. The advantage of this is that Larov no longer has to use the first group of infantrymen who followed him to charge into battle. Currently, these people have become Larov's personal guards as a force that can only be used in emergencies.
At the same time, he is also the first candidate for the future battle flag infantry. If there are mercenaries who perform extremely well, Larov will honor them and will never treat the mercenaries who are about to go through life and death with him badly.
Mercenaries work for gold coins and mainly serve the war. They are vultures pecking at the corpse of the giant of war. The only thing that can unite them, apart from identity, belief and race, is money. Generally speaking, you can see mercenaries from all over the world in a tavern, from Windekenf Continent, Ellaide Continent, Leitening Continent, Southern Islands, Europa Continent, Alien Island They live and die for gold coins. . The mortality rate in this kind of job is extremely high, but the rewards are also quite rich.
A generous employer is the person a mercenary hopes to meet most, and Ralof is obviously such a person. A small percentage of the gems have been sold through some underground channels. Only a dozen of these pure gems have been exchanged for gold coins filled with space rings. Fortunately, no one dared to challenge the royal power and attack Ralof, otherwise his gem would probably have resulted in death.
"Assaulting a member of the royal family is an extremely horrific crime. Entering Anderst Prison is a sure thing. Even the strongest and most resolute men will cry bitterly and miss the good life before prison. Then, various cruel punishments will be applied to them, warning the people of the Atak Empire never to try to attack the princes and kings. The vast majority of people will accept crimes such as being an iron maiden, being eaten by bugs, and being cut into pieces. A small number will be honored and happily hanged, and a small number will successfully commit suicide. Every person who commits suicide in Anderst Prison will arouse the admiration of the entire empire.
Under the offensive of money, the mercenaries immediately agreed to Larov's basic requirement of discipline. In fact, they have heard this kind of order from their employers more than once, because some people only value the combat effectiveness of mercenaries, while others need mercenaries to have more advantages. At the terrifying price of fifty gold coins per person per week, mercenaries have become Larov's most loyal subordinates. They can willingly dedicate their lives and be invincible for gold coins.
Under Bert¡¯s suggestion, they still maintained their own team and did not mix all the mercenaries like other employers to ensure their unity. For the sake of exerting his strength, Larov retained the original mercenary organization. At the same time, he will give additional rewards to mercenaries, provided that they have more merit than other teams.
Under such measures, the mercenaries are eyeing other teams and planning to get rewards themselves.
In order to check the combat effectiveness of the mercenaries, Larov bought an abandoned small manor and used it as a temporary accommodation for the mercenaries. At the same time, he conducted a small-scale confrontation drill there. This is a common method to effectively distinguish the strength and weakness of mercenaries. No one wants the mercenaries around them to be a ragtag group of people.
The first battle took place between Germanic warriors and Aileid warriors. Both sides used wooden weapons for safety. Aileide warriors from the far east claim to be "Qin" people. According to the pitiful little knowledge Li'er has about the Alade continent, the Alade continent is divided into many countries, including "Song", "Han", etc., and "Qin" is also one of them.
Although they have different living customs, they all have the same yellow skin and black eyes, which are completely different from Mrs. Windeken's white skin and hair color. There are no magicians among the Elaide people, but they are said to have "Taoist priests". There are no monsters there, just ordinary beasts and "monsters". They wear magical "silk" clothes, which are thin and beautiful, use extremely smooth "porcelain", and drink fragrant "tea". In short, the continent of Alade is a magical world, different from the Wendekenfu culture .
The battle is about to break out. The Alade people are accustomed to fighting on foot, using long swords and small shields, forming various formations, and advancing and retreating in an orderly manner. Whether they are fighting in large groups or in small-scale contacts, they are all at ease. The Germans are tall and strong and can cause damage to the opponent immediately, but they lack endurance and often lose strength after the earliest outbreak. This is due to their production.Due to their low health and lack of basic nutrition, these warriors who use their flesh to resist bears and tigers cannot fight for a long time.
The Alade people organized into a team like the arrows, and they rushed forward bravely. Elaide warriors advocate frontal combat, behave kindly, righteously, courteously, wisely, and trustworthy, and are very polite in doing things, but the blood of bravery and madness is hidden in the bodies of Elaide people. As soon as the two sides came into contact, they showed completely different fighting styles. The Aledians were very calm and calm, but the Germanic warriors rushed forward like madmen. The battle axes often failed to hit the enemy directly, but they themselves were often injured by the wooden swords. When the Elaide people feel the wooden ax touching themselves, they immediately raise their hands to signify "death". The Germans, who were red-eyed, basically didn't care how many times they were hit. They had to be dragged out by other people watching the battle.
The Alade people advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, so even though they suffered a certain amount of casualties, they remained as firm as rocks under the impact of big waves. The Germans dared to charge and fight, and received a round of applause. As arrows with extremely powerful impact, they fearlessly collided with the Alade formations again and again, advancing one after another without caring about personal life or death.
However, as time went by, the Germanic people showed a shortcoming of insufficient endurance. They felt out of breath, their muscles were numb, and they were covered in sweat. The barbarians don't know what "reserves" are and what "echelon operations" are. They only know how to fight left and right. When the ten soldiers at the rear of the line prepared by the Aledians went around behind the Germans to attack, the winner was already decided.
Although the Germans were defeated, their strength was still praised and admired by everyone, and the bear-like warriors deserved respect.
Next is the performance of bows and arrows. Morphea's light infantry will throw javelins before contacting the enemy. Each of them carried six javelins, a sword, and a shield. These Morphian light infantry are excellent shooters because their children and wives who are waiting for food at home do not allow them to shoot into the air. Within 75 meters, they can basically hit the target. Most of them can complete four out of six shots, which is very admirable.
There are two things that make other countries pay attention to the Leitning Empire. The first is their excellent Leitning heavy knights, and the second is Leitning's archers. They shot their enemies coldly and accurately, using longbows and sharp arrows made from specially made wood from the Leitening region. In the cold snowfield, everyone knows various survival skills and knows how to make ordinary arrows into special arrows that can kill snowfield trolls and Aslago-toothed tigers.
Among the orc warriors recruited by Shiluo, there are fighting races such as tigers, lions, and werewolves, as well as auxiliary races such as hawks and snakes. The werewolves among the orcs stand together with the Standal werewolves and the druid-transformed werewolves. It is basically impossible to tell who is who from the eyes, teeth, and tails. The way to tell them apart is simple. The werewolves among the orcs can speak fluently and retain many human characteristics. The Standal werewolves are black, and the druid transformed werewolves are white.
After chatting with the mercenaries for a while, Lier and the others went to the streets of Hubu City together, preparing to use wine and meat to calm down the tension caused by the previous attack. Accompanying him are Roland, Shiluo, Little Orava, Bastanay, and Delant. Vader is still perfecting what he calls the special dragon-killing crossbow.
A group of people took to the streets in a mighty manner. Thousands of years ago, when the warriors were summoned to fight against the Dragon Clan, countless heroes took to the streets and joined the expeditionary force with great courage. Fortunately, they can come back after they go, and the martyrs can only have a banquet in the Hall of Valor.
Such a team quickly attracts the attention of pedestrians. Although Hubu City was under siege, the arrival of the second prince gave the people of Hubu City a backbone and received spiritual support and encouragement, and more and more people came and went on the streets. Now, it presents a harmonious and peaceful scene. The old man is sitting on the steps, the children are running around the fountain in the square, the woman is taking elegant steps, and the nobles and knights are neatly dressed and walking leisurely on the streets.
"I have always wanted to protect and maintain from the bottom of my heart." Roland whispered, with an everlasting smile on his face.
"Hmm!" Jessdown sensed a special person, "Lil, Bert, come with me. I didn't expect to meet acquaintances here in Tiger Step City. I have to say it is an interesting thing. "
"Huh?" Bert came back to his senses and followed Jace.
¡°Please prepare the food for us first.¡± Leer patted Little Orava on the shoulder.
"We are waiting for you at the 'flame stove' in front." Shi Luo saw a good tavern in front.
Jestang pulled Bert and Lear, excitedly turned the corner and ran into the small box. As he got closer to the target, the smile on his face became brighter. Meeting that person meant that their next journey would be much smoother.
