Lei looked at his serious-looking companion and whispered: "But, isn't it said that we are a defensive force? Maybe we don't need to go to the front line? Well... we just need to maintain local security."

Bit smiled bitterly: "Lei, do you think that the Duke spent so much money to recruit us just to maintain law and order? I asked one of Lord Klaus's soldiers on the way, Duke Greene's most elite

The corps is the 'Green Field Corps', which has already gone to the front line. His additional three divisions of private troops are now responsible for training us. Think about it, on weekdays, the 'Green Field Corps' will never maintain law and order.

Yes, the other three divisions are responsible for guarding traffic arteries, collecting taxes or guarding the territory's borders. Those responsible for public security are the four teams of the emperor in the territory. They only have a size of 4,000 people. Now we have

Do you need 500,000 new soldiers?"

Lei was stunned, and Bit shook his head: "It seems that we will be sent to the front line soon, otherwise we will not be recruited. So, Lei, you must be mentally prepared."

Lei licked his lips and asked: "You guys, what do you think about going to the battlefield?"

Bit and the others looked at each other, nodded and said, "What does that matter? Think about it, we can earn at most one gold coin a year in the village. If we can kill a few more enemies, we can make a lot of money. Also.

Yes, Lei, don’t you want to make achievements on the battlefield?”

Lei didn't speak. He lowered his head gently and shook his head. What he was thinking was: "I don't want to make contributions on the battlefield, I just want to live quietly. My mother's health is not good, and my

There is still grass to be shoveled in the fields."

However, it is obvious that Bit and the others do not think so. Perhaps it is the unique enthusiasm of young people. They have already begun to make plans, thinking about how to train the following recruits as quickly as possible, and how to increase the number of recruits faster.

own strength.

After a while, seeing Lei still in a daze, Bit slapped him hard on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Lei, don't worry, I will incorporate you into my team. If you really go to the battlefield, you

Just be responsible for covering me. Your bow and arrow are the best in the village, and they are the best way to shoot people... Maybe you can kill the generalissimo of Emperor Smart, then you will be prosperous.

Oh."

Other companions also joked: "Yes, if you kill the opponent's generalissimo, according to the emperor's military merit reward, you will at least be a baron and you will also have a fief. Lei, you have to work hard, right?"

Let their generalissimo shoot."

A smile appeared on Lei's face. He was a young man after all. He let go of his worries and started discussing with his companions enthusiastically. He made up his mind that he had not yet learned all the boxing and marksmanship skills, so he had to learn them well.

Take some exercise and you'll have more chances to save your life on the battlefield.

After thinking for a while, Lei suddenly asked: "Should I carry a knife with me? If I run out of arrows, I can still use the knife to kill the enemy."

Bit looked at him strangely: "That's of course. Uncle Ste said that in the Imperial Army, all archers have melee weapons, because the enemy is likely to get close to us."

Lei exclaimed: "Then, wouldn't it be that the ordnance is even more insufficient? There are fifteen hundred bows and arrows. If the archers want to wear swords, won't these swords have to be discounted? How will we fight then?"

Everyone was silent, and couldn't help but feel more worried in their hearts.

At this moment, the call for assembly sounded. Lei and the others quickly rushed out of the tent. After finding the manpower of their team, they hurriedly followed a few veterans and rushed out of the camp. The castle of Klaus's team was there.

It is on the plain, so there is no need for any special training place. As long as everyone goes out, there is a wide enough place for the recruits to toss around. This is a convenience.

Just as Lei and the others started their first day of training, the 'Green Field Corps' had already approached the 'Iron-Blooded Battle Fort'. Four teams directly under the empire were swimming on their wings as their scout team, and in front of them,

A large team of troops was also dispatched to inquire about the news. In the rear, hundreds of messengers were rushing back and forth to convey the military information to Duke Greene in the rear, so that he could grasp the news on the battlefield as soon as possible. But to put it bluntly, Duke Greene was a civil servant, and these

The news only allowed him to sit in his mansion with peace of mind and not run away with his family.

The strange thing is that it has been three days and the Green Field Corps has not come into contact with any soldiers from the Smart Empire at all.

The captain of the forward sentry, a black iron knight with five teeth in a wolf's mouth, looked at the front a little strangely. He could even vaguely see the shadow of the 'Iron-Blooded Battle Fort'. Could it be that Shima

Have the troops of the Te Empire been waiting for their arrival in the 'Iron-Blooded Battle Fort'? It would be a good idea to use the facilities of the battle fort to deal with the troops of the Van Te Empire.

The captain laughed: "You are kidding, are we crazy to attack the 'Second City on the Continent'? It will take fifty 'Green Field Legions' to complete such a task, right? To repay the Lord Knight, we have already seen the 'iron-blooded battle'"

"Fort, please tell me the next action plan. Should we camp here? Well, on the plains, it is impossible for the Smart Empire's army to defeat us, right?"

The three soldiers galloped back on horseback. After about three hours, the main team of the 'Green Field Legion' arrived in a mighty manner. Along with the commander, the badge was a golden flying dragon with three fangs in its mouth.

Under the orders of Golden Knight Kolofei, the 'Green Field Army' began to prepare to camp on the spot. They brought enough fences, arrow stones, and powerful crossbow arrows. If the enemy dared to invade, they would be killed in the camp.

It was fine before.

Kolofi led a group of high-level knights and galloped to a place less than a mile away from the 'Iron-Blooded Battle Fort', observing the situation in the city unscrupulously. Behind them, a team of elite archers were already close.

Holding the strong bow tightly, he was ready to attack the opponent's magician at any time. This was also a move made by the knights of the Vante Empire because of their confidence in their own strength. They did not care at all about the ground troops of the Smart Empire.

Their magicians can be dealt with with bows and arrows.

The 'Iron-Blooded Battle Fort' squatted on the ground like a giant monster, and the dark city walls exuded a hint of cool air. Several senior generals of the Smart Empire stood at the top of the city, looking at the enemies below with indifferent eyes.

A silver knight asked Kolofi in a low voice: "Sir, how many troops do you estimate they have?"

Kolofi frowned: "Who knows? However, our 'Green Field Corps' is the Duke, no, the most elite regiment in the entire southern empire. With the army of the Smart Empire, they would not dare to fight

We started... a head-to-head confrontation, who are we afraid of? Well, they also know their own weaknesses, so they hide in the castle they captured through conspiracy and don't come out, right?"

Kolofei looked disdainfully at the officers of the Smart Empire on the city wall, and after making a rude gesture, he used up the fighting spirit in his body and laughed wildly: "You just stay in the city, haha, you want to let them go?"

Are we here to attack the city to consume our troops? Are we so stupid? Hum, when our imperial army arrives, the good days of your Smart Empire will be over."

A black-robed magician appeared on the top of the city and said in a very gentle tone: "Is the person here the third-level golden knight of Kolofei of the Green Field Corps? Ah, the rank of major general of the empire, really

You are a big shot, Duke Green sent you to deal with us?"

Kolofi was stunned for a moment and shouted: "Hmph, I have to admire the intelligence of your Smart Empire... But what's the use of this? My camp is right behind. If you have the courage, come here

Attack us... But let me remind you, we have prepared a powerful crossbow with a range of a thousand steps. Can your magician's magic work at such a long distance? Hahahaha."

The black-robed mage chuckled: "Oh? I brought 10,000 mages with me on this expedition. Your 'Green Field Corps' is equipped with only ten crossbows, so what threat can it pose to us? But as you said

You know, any mage is a valuable asset, and our empire will not waste their lives..."

After pondering for a while, the black-robed mage pointed at Kolofi with a smile: "I know your temper very well. That coward Green sent you to inquire about information and was on standby at the border of Xili Province.

Right? But you actually rushed to the 'Qingfeng Plain', which is in line with my plan... Well, while waiting for your emperor's death, eating your 'Green Field Corps' is also a little entertainment."

Kolofi was furious: "For entertainment? You treat us as entertainment? Damn it, I want to duel you. Tell me your name and family title. I want to duel you one on one."

The black-robed mage took off the cloak, revealing the badge on the left chest, with a proud smile on his face: "I am Carlin, one of the elders of the Smart Empire Mage Association, this time I will be in the middle of Smart

The commander of the army, the highest-ranking Diamond Dragon Mage... Haha, I am not a knight, so I have the right not to accept your challenge... Especially, for a dead man, why should I care about his challenge?"

Karin's mage emblem is a flying dragon made of fine diamonds with fangs and claws. The dragon's mouth holds an olive branch with seven green olive leaves on it.

Kolofi was stunned for a moment, wondering why the Smart Empire would actually send a magician as the commander of the army. At this moment, a long sword with red fighting spirit penetrated his heart from behind. Kolofi

Fei howled miserably: "Why..." Then he staggered and fell off the horse.

The knights following him were stunned and shouted angrily: "Steka, Steka, you, what are you doing?"

Steka, a first-level gold knight, waved the long sword in his hand with a ferocious smile, and the whistling fighting spirit rolled up red tracks. Before his colleagues could react, he cut the necks of three senior knights, and then

He galloped madly towards the 'Iron-Blooded Battle Fort'.

The extremely angry Vante knights chased after them on horseback, but the large fireballs roaring from the city wall and countless bows and arrows blocked their way, forcing them to retreat in embarrassment. Just as they stood facing the city

When Steka, who was laughing wildly at the door, cursed angrily, a loud shout of killing suddenly came from the camp behind. Four ambush soldiers rushed towards the unfinished camp of the Green Field Corps from four directions.

With the powerful magic support of a large number of magicians, the Smart Emperor's army, which had an absolute numerical advantage, spent more than 10,000 casualties and completely annihilated the 'Green Field Corps' in half a day.

Kalin, who was standing on the top of the city, sighed: "Our Smart Corps is really useless to the extreme. We attacked the opponent with superior strength and suffered so many casualties. If we didn't have the 'Iron-Blooded Battle Fortress', I would really

I don’t have the confidence to complete this plan, really... If it hadn’t been for Steka, dear Count Steka, who killed their top commander and three good men in a surprise attack, I’m afraid the casualties would have increased by 5,000?”

Behind him, a tall general wearing dark green armor and a pair of gray eyes nodded, and said in a deep voice: "This is natural. Compared with the elite corps of the Vant Empire, the army of the Smart Empire is inferior.

Fortunately, the Smart Empire has a large number of magicians, otherwise, hehe."

Karin shrugged his shoulders: "Admiral Sarin, have you lived in the Vant Empire for too long and you have forgotten that you are a subject of the Smart Empire? Well, you can't talk nonsense when you insult your own country's army like this.

, I can pretend that I didn’t hear it this time, understand?...Well, I really want to know whether the ones that follow will be the legions directly under the royal family of the Vante Empire, or those miscellaneous recruits."

Shalin was furious and looked at the back of Kalin's head angrily, thinking about the consequences of hitting him with a fist. Didn't this yin and yang guy insult the Smart Empire's army just now? It was really abominable.

..My secret knighthood in the country is that of a marquis. Although this guy is of noble birth, he is just a count now, huh.

Kalin suddenly turned around and looked at Shalin with a smile: "Aren't you convinced? It's better to be convinced, okay? Look, if our magicians hadn't invented the phantom magic that can hide the army in a large area, the army of the Vante Empire wouldn't be able to

It's so easy to be fooled. Even if you mobilize those troops who betrayed your motherland, you may not be able to deal with the opponent's elite troops, right?... Well, I don't know what happened to the other two armies. They should have already entered the attack position.

?”

Shalin felt his heart tingle at the strange look in Kalin's eyes, and quickly changed the subject: "I think it should be the elite corps of the Vant Empire, right? They won't send those rubbish without any combat effectiveness to die."

Karin pouted, frowned, rummaged around for a long time, took out a copper, threw it on the ground, and muttered in a low voice: "Then, I bet a copper, the first to come must be the recruits recruited by Duke Green.

..”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Shalin's mouth, and he snorted twice.

Four teams directly under the Vantage Empire that were swimming around the outskirts of the 'Green Field Corps' realized that something was wrong and quickly fled towards the Xili Province. The Smart Empire's army did not chase them. They seemed to be staying put.

Disappeared.

When the team leaders of the four teams anxiously sent out messengers to report the results to Duke Green, Lei happened to shoot the first arrow at the training camp, hitting the bullseye, and won a burst of applause. Lei was sighing: "

This arrow is too soft, too light, too short, and has no power."
