Chapter 25: Engagement I

The Baron of Cleveland, in the castle, after Brandon got the news for the first time, he immediately asked the butler to gather the knights and troops to gather in the castle.

A place where high-rank bronze knights were stationed definitely had rich mineral deposits.

Thanks to the assistance of three relatives, the other nobles in Cardero Province investigated the news that this young eagle of the Aix family only had three bronze high-level knights in his hands.

Brandon Hodgson, who thought he had the upper hand, decided to take a surprise and summon an elite army to encircle more than 100 people and take down this unknown mineral deposit.

Three days later, thousands of troops assembled in front of Brandon Castle.

Looking around, there were twelve bronze knights standing at the front, three of whom were high-level bronze knights, plus Brandon himself, the four strongest people in the Baron of Cleveland.

Then there were forty apprentice knights, wearing leather armor and riding horses of different quality under their crotches, full of energy.

Then there were two hundred soldiers wearing half-body armor and holding long guns. Their sturdy bodies and vague fighting aura marked their combat effectiveness.

Next to the soldiers' phalanx, there were also twenty archers with longbows, which Brandon was proud of.

The difficulty of training an archer is second only to that of a knight. The surrounding little nobles are very afraid of Brandon having so many archers.

In the end, the serfs with the most numbers and combat effectiveness were the serfs with dung forks and wooden sticks. They were listless and insensitive at the end of the team, like walking corpses, with more than 800 people.

Brandon looked around, nodded in satisfaction, and ordered loudly, "Let's go."

A thousand-person team followed the marching team of knights, apprentice knights, soldiers, and serfs, and left the open space in front of the castle in turn, pulling a marching team of more than 2,000 meters towards the camp where the Secret Silver Mine was located.

 

 

营地内,维林在得知克利夫兰的布兰登男爵率领袭击的消息后,转头看向贝尔德."陷阱是怎么设置的?""主啊,请放心,"贝尔德兴奋地回答道,"已经布置了十几条大大小小的隧道,隧道里也安排了人.只要听到信号,就会拉动开关,让对方措手不及."一切都准备好了,我只欠 Brandon 验证我们的结果."这时,一名士兵走进帐篷,单膝跪地,恭敬地报告道:"大人,大人,大军正在向我们逼近,有千人之多."再次探索.""是的."士兵们离开后,维林直接前往贝尔德集结部队,准备迎敌.这一次,他准备活捉对方,勒索一笔钱,解决人手不足的困境.营地外,除了埋伏在地下准备启动机关的 20 名士兵外,其他 90 名士兵都聚集在一起,身穿皮甲,腰间系着铁剑,手持长枪.每个士兵的眼中都充满了战斗的欲望.只要他们杀了敌人,获得了战功,他们就会得到自由,金钱和女人.这是主对他们的应许.片刻之后,布兰登率领的军队出现在营地外,排成一排,缓缓向营地前进.维林盯着它,这和他的猜测一模一样.农奴走在最前面,后面跟着监督战斗的士兵,两边的骑士都是侍从.十三名全副武装的骑士站在队伍的后方,跟在队伍后面.这是这个世界上中下层阶级最常见的战斗方式.它在这个世界的荒野中广泛发现.计算了一下距离后,维林逐渐抬起右手,准备让一旁的士兵敲响锣,释放信号.在敌人的阵型中,一名骑士来到布兰登面前,沉声说道:"大人,对方只有一百人,但面对我们一千人,却没有惊慌.有埋伏吗?布兰登听后得意地说道:"我有数千人,比敌人多十倍.就算有埋伏,我也没办法.最后的胜利一定是属于我的,别担心."下属想多了."骑士羞愧地低下头,对布兰登说.随着时间的推移,双方的距离越来越近,从最初的一千米,到八百米,再到四百米.所有的农奴都穿过了陷阱,当敌人的步兵踏入陷阱区域时,维林迅速做出决定并下达了指示.一旁的士兵接到主命,直接敲响了锣.声音响彻旷野,埋伏的士兵们拉扯着手中的绳索,扯下了支撑地面的木头.刹那间,在布兰登的眼前,一半的步兵中队陷入了一个布满尖刺的深坑中.所有的弓箭手还没来得及使用,就被深坑杀死了.呐喊声四起,落入陷阱的步兵大多当场死亡.少数人还剩下一口气,但他们离死亡已经不远了.周围的士兵亲眼目睹了同伴的死亡,恍惚不安.在骑士的训斥下,他们逐渐回过神来.But Velin would give them a chance to regroup, pull down the mask, flatten the lance, and lead the other six knights to sprint with all their strength.

At the same moment, the infantry behind him threw spears at the chaotic serfs, then drew their iron swords and followed Velin in a charge.

"No."

"Forgive me, forgive me."

"Ah -"

"Poof..."

The yellow-faced and skinny serf watched as his body was pierced through, torn apart before the powerful force.

Stepping on the corpses of these serfs, Velin's speed did not decrease. As he ran, he grabbed the throwing spear and threw it at the opposing infantry phalanx.

Several infantry were pierced through in a row, making Brandon furious. The other party really thought that with more than 100 people, they could defeat the team.

"You guys stop the other knights, I want to defeat this arrogant guy myself."

Brandon put down his mask, slapped his mount, and headed towards Velin, who was killing all directions.

He killed a few infantry at random, and when he saw the arrival of the main master, Velin discarded the spear in his hand, drew out the knight's sword, and charged at it.

At the moment of the confrontation, Velin relied on his special skills to make the opponent fly away from the mount and take several steps back on the ground.

"Boy, I underestimated you." Brandon, who stabilized his body, adjusted his posture with a solemn tone.

Velin jumped off his horse and did not speak, rushing towards the opponent at an extremely fast speed.

"How dare you. Today, let me test the strength of the Aix family to develop knights."

Brandon gathered his strength, mobilized the fighting qi in his body, attached it to the knight's longsword, and suddenly waited on the ground, ready to face the enemy head-on.

After fighting for several rounds in a row, Brandon gradually lost his strength and panted like a cow, but he didn't dare to relax at all.

Once you make a mistake, your life may be at risk.

"Ah -"
