Alien Knights

Chapter 151: Battle of North Stone (2)

The troops of the Muxi Knights marched on the Moon Creek Plain, all the way to the northeast.

Todd sat in the saddle, twisting his body uncomfortably. He had never thought that putting on armor and riding a horse was such a painful torture. Looking at the troops on the march, he wanted to give an order to rest in place for a moment, but after thinking about it for a while, he finally gave up the decision.

"Master Todd, there is a group of refugees ahead!"

Hearing Edgar's loud report, Todd frowned. It was only a day from the town of Muxi, and this was the fourth group of refugees he had encountered.

The head of the commander sat on the horse, using his eagle eyes to look forward. One kilometer away, there are more than 80 people in the dark. They knelt in the muddy ground by the side of the road, raised the cross in their hands, and shouted for the kindness of the Son Todd.

Todd winked at Huggins beside him, who led the horse towards the refugees, and returned within ten minutes.

"They were all villagers who fled from the east. Hearing from them, the war there is getting more and more fierce. Vultures hovering in the air and mice fatter than babies can be seen everywhere every day. Both sides of the fighting began to gradually burn the flames of war to civilians. In the villages, the Silver Ring and the barbarian coalition forces went door-to-door to expropriate food and conscript farmers, while the church and the Holy Guard declared that these villagers were betrayers and dignifiedly plundered their wealth."

Todd sighed and waved his hand: "Give them some food and tell them to go west. There is no war in Muxi Town."

Huggins listened to Todd's words, but did not move, but lowered his voice: "I heard from those refugees that a small group of barbarian soldiers attacked the San Sidlo Monastery a few days ago."

When Todd heard this, he turned his head to Huggins and asked, "Is the monastery okay?"

"There are weapons in the monastery, and many monks also have some combat skills. Coupled with some simple fortifications, the San Sidlo Monastery was eventually defended, but the casualties were not small. Regarding the future way out, I heard that the monks were divided into three factions. , One group hopes to move west to Muxi Town, one group hopes to contact the church to apply for asylum, and the other group hopes to make peace with the Kingdom of Silver Ring." Hudgens looked a little hesitant: "Sir, what should we do? Is it to ignore or to interfere?"

Todd sat on the horse and thought for a moment.

The Convent of San Sidro was his first residence in another world, and to him, there was a special meaning. Moreover, there are tens of thousands of books in the monastery. Although he deceived hundreds of books to return with the printed Bible, Todd couldn't do it anyway, watching the remaining books might be destroyed. For reasons and emotions, the Monastery of San Sidlo should intervene.

Thinking of this, Todd said to Huggins: "You take the successor cavalry squad, rush to the monastery as soon as possible, and transfer the monks who wish to come to Muxi Town and all the books in the monastery as soon as possible."

Huggins nodded, and asked later: "If someone obstructs, what should I do?"

Todd struggled for a while, his face said unnaturally: "You can take all mandatory measures when necessary. Remember, protect those books! In a sense, they are more important than people!"

Huggins took a deep look at him, then nodded, greeted his subordinates, left the path of travel, and hurried toward the monastery.

Todd looked at the knight's distant figure, remembered what he had just said, lowered his head and fell into deep thought, and finally murmured: "All mandatory measures...Oh my God, what did I just say..."

——————————————————

Two days later, the army of the Muxi Knights came to the foot of the majestic Falling Star Mountains. The towering snow peaks and the ridges of mountains were refreshing and happy. They not only sighed the wonders of nature.

"If you march forward for two hours, you will see the Northstone Fortress." Cumberland glanced at the direction of the sun.

Todd nodded, just about to say something, a cavalry in light armor with a silver ring flag in his hand came from a distance, and when he approached the Knights of Mossy, he rolled over and dismounted and raised his hands, indicating that he was not malicious.

Watching his subordinates take the letter from the cavalry, Cumberland twisted his neck: "If I'm not mistaken, the fellow, Earl Hewlett, it should be a war note."

After carefully checking that the letter was not unusual, the subordinates handed the letterhead to the head of the head.

Todd opened it for a moment, and said to Cumberland, "Yes, it is indeed a battle book. The other party asked us about three hours later, at noon, on the plain in front of the fortress, and launched a decisive battle with force."

"Earl Hewlett, the croaking bird that hangs the noble blood on his mouth all the time, he has nothing to do, but he has a lot of scheming." Cumberland motioned to his men to extend the range of the scouts by another three kilometers, and ordered the troops to stay in place. rest.

Watching the old knight gather the company captain together, after a pre-war meeting, he leisurely found an open space, covered it with a blanket, and fell asleep. Todd was full of questions, but had nowhere to ask, so he could only sit on the ground in a daze.

Cumberland slept from morning to noon on this night. After he stretched and got up, he did not see him giving the marching order. Instead, he ordered the soldiers to start cooking, but the amount of food was 30% less than usual.

Todd followed Cumberland to lunch and looked at the other party making a cup of barley tea. When the old **** was looking at the map on horseback, he could no longer bear his curiosity: "The enemy asked us to fight at noon. Now It's already one o'clock in the afternoon."

"I know." Cumberland took a sip of tea and said to Todd without any haste: "Headmaster, have you ever tried to beat the beat when singing hymns?"

Todd nodded.

Cumberland said: “Once the beat is interrupted by the outside world when singing, it takes a lot of effort to connect it again. The same is true in war. Both sides of the battle have their own rhythms in marching, platooning, formation, and charging. It is an invisible and intangible thing, but it really exists in the hearts of commanders and soldiers. The battle rhythm is well grasped, and the troops will naturally know what to do when they are in the due process. But once the pace is adjusted When disrupted, the troops may be at a loss."

Cumberland pointed to the sun above his head and smiled and said to Todd: "It's almost time to get on the horse. It may not be a good thing to let the croaking bird wait too long."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Twilight Knights entered the battlefield of the North Stone Fortress.

Sitting on a horse, Cumberland pointed to a nobleman wearing a striking armor on the opposite side of the battlefield and said: "Look, that's the Earl Hewlett I said."

Todd looked at it with eagle eyes, and the count was flushed, and shouted toward him angrily. Judging from his mouth, it wouldn't be a good word to think of.

The soldiers on the opposite side of the battlefield gradually stood up, and Cumberland watched the battlefield intently while listening to the detailed report of the scout Edgar.

"I hid nearby and listened to the enemy. There are three armies on the opposite side, namely the fortress garrison, the barbarian army, and the mercenary regiment. Among them, there are about 500 fortress garrison, 200 barbarian army, and 200 mercenary regiment. 900 people."

Todd calculated the account in his mind. There were 500 members of the Musi Knights and 900 members of the fortress coalition. With the advantage of explosives and alien species on his side, the combat power was basically balanced.

As usual, the troops of both sides went through the basic process of warm greetings from their immediate family members, beating shields inexplicably, and screaming hysterically. After leaving the cavalry and reserve forces, the troops of the Musi Knights and the fortress coalition moved forward.

Todd looked back and was surprised to find that the wooden box storing the explosives hadn't been opened at all. He tried to remind Cumberland of the matter. The other party looked at the battlefield and replied without turning his head. I can’t use that, this attack is just a test."

Temptation?

Todd gave the old knight a strange look.

A minute later, the Knights and coalition soldiers collided together. The sound of weapon blades knocking and shield crashing sounded endlessly. Todd watched the battle for a while, and found something confusing.

Cumberland did not place the melee alien species in the Chinese army, but instead placed them all on the right wing of the battlefield. The strongest attacking infantry of these knights confronted the barbarian army and adopted a powerful offensive posture. When facing the fortress defenders and the mercenary regiment, the old knight gave orders to defend himself.

Just when Todd was at a loss, something unexpected happened on the battlefield.

The barbarian army is retreating steadily by the melee alien species~lightnovelpub.net~ The barbarian leader clamored for help from the Chinese army, while the fortress defenders and mercenary regiments seemed to have never seen them at all, continuing to come and go with the enemy in front of you. The tentative attack even consciously cut the formation away from the barbarian army.

"What's going on?!" Todd sat on the horse, widening his eyes: "Is the enemy crazy? Regardless of the life and death of friendly forces?!"

Cumberland stroked his beard and said to Todd, "Remember what I said to you before?"

Todd looked confused.

The old knight looked at the hillside opposite the battlefield, his tone was full of contempt: "Earl Hewlett, a croaking bird who hangs on his noble blood all day long. He has no skill but a lot of scheming..."
