Chapter 39
Chapter 39
Amidst the low, majestic sound of the horn, the Obi Kingdom's army began to gather.
Infantry, longbowmen, light cavalry, and heavy cavalry are like torrents of torrents, constantly gathering together.
The forest of spears, the neighing of steeds, and billowing smoke and dust formed a shocking picture.
Song Mo saw heavy cavalry for the first time.He was clad in black armor, tall and strong, like hills.Just looking at their armor, it weighs hundreds of catties.Even the war horses under his crotch were armed like steel monsters.Each heavy cavalry is followed by two infantrymen carrying giant spears. The appearance of the giant spears is very similar to the spears used by the light cavalry, but it can be easily seen from the length and thickness, which is a bit heavier than the spears used by the light cavalry. times more.
After looking around at the heavy cavalry team closest to him, Song Mo looked away and sighed deeply. These guys are simply tanks in the cold weapon era. Whoever meets them will be unlucky.
However, the chassis of the "tank" is sad. If the war horses they rode did not die on the battlefield by luck, they will definitely have lumbar muscle strain when they reach the "retirement" age.
Song Mo and his party followed the team in the Northwest Province.
Governor Cyvans has been officially appointed as the Deputy Vanguard of the Kingdom's Right Wing Army.The soldiers of the Northwest Province, all dressed in silver-white armor, raised their heads high and proudly.Pan Wei never felt this kind of feeling when he was governor.This act of pretending to be X naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of soldiers from other provinces.The so-called principle that literature is not the first and martial arts is the second is universal in any world.
Ever since, the eyes of envy and hatred began to stare at the soldiers in the northwest province.The soldiers didn't care, but were proud of it.Song Mo didn't want to, but it was hard for Song Mo. In such a state of "all attention", how could he desert and sneak out with his grass-roots team to do his own business?
Song Mo is not the only smart person in the Grass Team. Harold walked to Song Mo's side, raised his head and said to Song Mo: "My lord, this is not the way to go."
"I know."
Song Mo bent down and patted the horse's neck, telling the horse to go slower, just enough for Harold to keep up.
"Look around, there is no way to escape now."
Harold nodded in agreement, his eyebrows furrowed, looking anxious.Song Mo was more anxious than him.If there is no way to sneak away halfway, is it possible to go to the battlefield for real?The twenty people I have are not even enough to put a gap between people's teeth.
Halfway through the procession, another cavalry joined in. Seeing this cavalry, Harold and the three monks became visibly nervous.
"Harold, what's the matter?"
"My lord, they are knights of the Church of Light!"
Church knights?
Song Mo turned his head to look, his eyes widened suddenly, and his expression became very strange.
This cavalry team consists of more than 500 people. All knights are dressed in silver-white armor, holding long spears and longbows on their backs.Their outfits are very similar to those of the light cavalry in the Northwest Province. The difference is that even the horses under their crotch are pure white, and there is no mottled hair on their bodies. They don't look like ordinary valuables.
Originally, such a cavalry with white horses and silver spears should be extremely attractive, but the cloaks on their bodies and the helmet tassels on their heads are too eye-catching.
At the forefront of the team were three red cloaks, a group of pink cloaks in the middle, then a group of green cloaks, and then white cloaks behind.
These white cloaks, Harold told him, were the lowest rank among knights.
"The knights of the church are warriors who serve the God of Light. Unlike the king's army, which has military positions, the status is only defined by the color of the cloak and helmet tassel."
"So, those who wear scarlet are of the highest status?"
"No, the color of the cloak and helmet studs of the highest-ranking church knights is golden."
Song Mo nodded, expressing his understanding, everyone loves gold.
The soldiers around seemed to be accustomed to this colorful team, but the Greenlanders really opened their eyes.Song Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Red and white are both normal, and pink is barely acceptable. At most, I think I am color blind.but green...
Well, Song Mo forced himself to turn his head and look away from the green hats, and said to the four Harolds who were holding quails with their heads down: "It seems that you will rob girls over and over again." , the monks who follow you will be keen to find excitement, not without reason."
"In an environment like the church, which does not take an unusual path, and even dares to wear a green hat on their heads, it is really difficult for people to maintain normalcy."
"..."
Harold looked up at Song Mo, and really wanted to ask: Sir, are you qualified to say that others are abnormal?Have it?
But for the sake of his future job, Harold chose to remain silent.
The church knights were ordered by the Archbishop to cheer for King Obi's army.Of course, they will not participate in the battle between Obi's army and Sabison's army, and they will come in handy once Sabison's Illuminati Church knights appear.
Song Mo rubbed his chin, it seems that the interior of the Guangming Church is not monolithic.No wonder this anti-government organization has spread all over the continent, but it still failed to take over once.
The church knight was just a small episode, and the speed of the Obi Kingdom's army was not affected.Due to their location, Song Mo didn't see Hei Yan, but could only see the King Banner with the golden dragon at the front of the team.
Seeing the giant dragon on the flag, he thought of Hei Yan who had polluted his gold coins, Song Mo hated it so much that his teeth ached.While the root of the tooth was hurting, he remembered the booklet that was left in the palace. By the way, did Hei Yan see that booklet?If you see it, how do you feel?Do you want Cyvans to follow the lead of the prime minister and come to an interview with the post-reading reflections or something, the title is "On the King's Left and Right Hands and Endurance"!
This is simply too evil...
Song Mo's thoughts drifted farther and farther, his thoughts became more and more strange, his expression became more and more strange, and he laughed from time to time.Harold, who was closest to him, heard Song Mo's laughter and couldn't help but raised his head and asked, "My lord, what are you thinking?"
"Think about King Obi's staying power..."
"..."
Harold lowered his head silently, looked to the side who also heard Song Mo's laughter, but pretended not to hear it, Johnson who was neither curious nor inquiring, and Jason who was clearly sympathetic but still looked up at the sky, haha Lord deeply understood.Sure enough, he didn't know the lord well enough, and he didn't fully integrate into the big warm family of Greland...
The team moved forward for a certain distance, and the Sabisen King City could already be seen, and the whole army stopped suddenly.
The Obi Kingdom and the Sabison Kingdom have been fighting for years, and the border between the two countries has become a no-man's land, and the scope of this no-man's land is still expanding year by year.In the past, if two countries wanted to fight, they only needed to go out and walk a few steps. Now, if they want to fight, it takes at least half a day.
In order to prevent Sabison from laying an ambush in this no-man's land, the vanguard officers and governors began to call in mercenaries, which was called "reconnaissance", but in fact it was "thunderstorm".In the past, all the elites in the army were engaged in this task. Later, Obi and Sabison continued to improve their ambush tactics, and began to "dig holes wide, dig holes deep, and put sharp thorns in the bottom of the pit. "You" shameless tactics, after losing countless elites, the big shots of the two countries have learned to be smart, and this difficult task should be handed over to mercenaries who work for money.
This is also the reason why the Obi Kingdom's army is one of the strongest in the mainland, but there are still mercenaries in the army.
Sai Wansi told Song Mo the unspoken rules of "filling the hole with cannon fodder", the purpose is to let Song Mo keep himself and don't get caught.
However, Sai Wansi had good intentions, but Song Mo threw them into a corner to grow mushrooms.
Not only did Song Mo not prevent the Gelilan people from being submerged, but he also planned to go into battle himself to experience the excitement and pleasure of being submerged!
After hearing the order to summon the mercenaries, under the leadership of the lord Song Mo, the people of Greland rushed to sign up.The other mercenaries on the side were stunned, but they did not forget to give a thumbs up: This awareness, this state, brother sighs!
Song Mo and [-] Greenlanders arrived at the mercenary gathering place, adjusted their armor, and saw that everyone was almost here, Song Mo suddenly said to the officer on the side: "The task is very simple, just rush up and go. ,Right?"
"Yes."
"It takes a lot of courage to rush up, doesn't it?"
"Yes."
"Then before rushing, shouldn't there be a box of gold coins to boost your courage?"
"Yes... what?!"
"Don't look at me like that, let the brothers work hard, there must be some extra subsidies, right? Otherwise, who would be willing to do this kind of thing like pinning the head to the waistband?!" Song Mo said, while looking at the other The mercenary shouted: "Everyone said, right?!"
"Yes! You are right!"
The mercenaries were originally working for money, and when they heard Song Mo's words, they all clapped their hands and applauded.Yeah, why didn't they think of it before?If you tell me to rush forward, I will rush forward, and if I escape from death, I will still get that little money!
"This is shameless exploitation, oppression!" Song Mo just rode on the horseback and waved his fist, "We are the hardest laborers, the first bloodshed warriors! Why can't we get the gold coins we deserve?! Let us work hard, You must give us enough gold coins!"
"Yes, gold coins, we want gold coins!"
Hearing Song Mo's encouragement, the mercenaries immediately shouted together.Even the guy who didn't want to make trouble before couldn't help but waved his fist.
"No gold coins, never rush!"
"We want gold coins!"
Song Mo saw that the atmosphere was almost heated up, so he directly put forward the conditions, "One hundred gold coins per person, not one less! If you die, you will have to add two hundred gold coins to settle down! If you are injured, you will need to add another hundred gold coins Disability fee! Fifty gold coins will be rewarded for those who come back alive!"
Song Mo's words brought tears to the eyes of the mercenary compatriots and rejoiced.Even if they are all rough people with no education, they can still know that Song Mo is fighting for their interests!
Good man, absolutely good man!
As everyone knows, a Lord of Greenland who fights for the reasonable interests of the working people is not as noble as they think.
The disturbance of the mercenaries also reached the ears of the left and right vanguard officers and King Hei Yan. Surprise, astonishment, and disbelief were hard to fully express their feelings at the moment.
However, these mercenaries cannot be allowed to continue to make trouble, nor can they directly send troops to kill them all.Although there are less than 800 of these mercenaries, killing them is nothing.But it is outrageous to cut off more than 700 heads before fighting Sabison.What's more, if they are all slaughtered, who will test the traps of the Sabisen people?
In the end, King Hei Yan waved his hand, wanting gold coins?Can.Let the governors and ministers who employ them come out.People are found by them, and if something goes wrong, they should be responsible!
The king's name was quickly conveyed to all the armies. Although the governors didn't care about the gold coins, they were holding their breath!
There are more than 700 mercenaries, even a hundred gold coins per person is not a small amount.Who would carry more than 7 gold coins with them?
In desperation, the governors and ministers had no choice but to collect together. If the number was not enough, they simply used the gems on their bodies to make up the number, and finally collected all the gold coins.
When the box containing gold coins and precious stones was brought to the mercenaries, everyone almost rushed forward, and the soldiers carrying the box were knocked to the ground.
While more than 700 strong men were scrambling for gold coins and gems, Song Mo and his team took advantage of the confusion to quietly stay away from the large army, and ran into the bushes not far away when Obi's soldiers didn't notice. Cong Li.
Thanks to the fact that the mercenaries gathered hundreds of meters away from the main force of the Obi Kingdom, coupled with the chaos of fighting for gold coins, Song Mo and his party could run so quickly.
In order not to be discovered, Song Mo didn't even ride a horse. Anyway, with Sai Wansi around, he would have a horse if he wanted it.
The Greenlanders had experience hiding in the bushes, and that was how they tricked Cyvans and his cavalry last time.Without needing Song Mo's instructions, he grabbed dead branches and grass and put them on his head and body.As long as you don't get within ten meters, it's hard to spot them.
Just when Song Mo was lying in the bushes, planning to wait until the mercenaries started to rush forward to attract the attention of Obi's army, and took the opportunity to lead them away, he suddenly found another group of people hiding in the bushes.Compared to Song Mo, their camouflage was crude, but the Greenlanders who were busy escaping and hiding just now couldn't find them.
Song Mo blinked, and the other party also blinked. Song Mo didn't want to be discovered by the army of the Obi Kingdom, and the other party probably thought the same as him.
Seeing the armor and weapons on these people clearly, combined with their hiding positions, Song Mo subconsciously asked, "Sabison?"
The other party's gaze was suddenly full of murderous intent, "Obi's mercenary?"
Song Mo shook his head quickly, and said in a low voice: "Misunderstanding, it's a complete misunderstanding! I just dropped by to make soy sauce!"
Sabisen: "..."
In the dungeon of the Lord Gerryland's mansion, Resmers closed the book in his hand, stood up, walked to the wall, and drew a line of black runes in the air with his right hand. The black wind rolled up from the bottom of his feet, gradually swallowed his whole body.
The goblin outside the cell heard the sound, quickly moved a stool, stepped on it, and checked the situation in the room through the transom on the door, only to find that the person locked in the dungeon was gone!
At the same time, Rhodes, who had found the potatoes, had already arrived in Gerryland. In addition to the potatoes and the "talent" used to exchange for gold coins, there was also an unexpected guest in the convoy, the elf Jeris who made Rhodes and Song Mo very upset. .
