Chapter 62 The Crowd (Part 2)

As Ida said, the cavalry troops did not look for the great priest's team after going around the mountains and forests into the grassland, but instead rode their horses to the depths of the grassland.

The corps leaders were not worried that they would fall into the enemy's trap like this. First, a large number of scouts were sent in front of them, and second, the enemy's target was to attack the great priest's troops, rather than to defend, and it was impossible to set up traps.

Under such a cognition, they were eager to break the enemy camp at night, so they made such a decision. After all, breaking the camp can reduce the enemy's seven energy, and it is easier to capture these bandits after dawn.

Most of the great priests camped at the junction of grasslands and forests, and most of them had fallen asleep, but the dusk light of the sky over the forests and the muffled thunder in the distance of grasslands not only made the cavalry responsible for the alert start to nervous, but also woke Isna who was already sleeping.

After Xiaoqin's waiter, Isna asked the two cavalry captains who arrived, "What's going on?"

"Sir, there are a lot of fire in the mountains and forests, and tens of thousands of cavalry appear there. I'm afraid we will be surrounded by the army." The captain of the regiment looked heavy.

"Who is the enemy? This is the rear of Cons's army!" Isna was shocked. She couldn't understand why she was suddenly surrounded by such a large number of enemies?

"I don't know yet, it must be a bandit." Another captain of the regiment said with a bad expression. He was cursing Cons in his heart: "Damn it, what kind of enemy is hidden in the back? He doesn't know. He dares to say that he is a God of War, I'm gonna be!"

"Have you sent a scout?" Isna returned to her expression and said calmly.

"I have sent someone to reconnaissance, but, sir, what should we do now?" the captain who cursed Cons asked hurriedly. He was a little panicked now.

If there are a large number of bandits appearing in the mountains and forests behind, there is nothing wrong, because they can easily escort the great priest back to the capital and let the bandits eat dust.

But the sound of horse hooves from the grassland in the distance made him lose hope. The sound was at least tens of thousands of cavalrymen, and he was also a cavalryman. He couldn't run away on this grassland. He had no choice but to seek help from the wisest priest in the kingdom.

"Transfer to the grassland center to camp and guard."

Isna's light words stunned the two regiment captains. The regiment captain said anxiously: "Sir, the enemy has tens of thousands of cavalry, wouldn't we camp on the grassland..."

He didn't say the word "waiting for death" later, but I believe anyone understands the meaning.

Isna, wearing a veil, narrowed her eyes. Although she couldn't see her face, she could feel that she was laughing. She only heard her say, "If this enemy was a bandit army, would they possibly form a cavalry of tens of thousands of people?"

The corps leader immediately shook his head and said, "It is impossible. The war horses in this area were either plundered by the Black Rock Empire or brought back to the capital by our cavalry troops. Even if there are war horses among the people, there are not many. If there is no foreign aid, I am afraid that even a large cavalry department will not be formed.

"You must know that a cavalry must have at least two war horses, otherwise they can only be infantry and cavalry." Speaking of this, the captain immediately woke up and said, "You mean..."

"That's right, the one who can have tens of thousands of cavalry in this area must be Lord Cons's troops." Isna said.

"How do you explain the fire in the mountains?" The captain who cursed Cons was still puzzled.

"What would he do if Lord Cons finds a large number of bandits operating?" Isna asked.

"Of course it's to mobilize troops to eliminate... So, is Lord Cons leading the troops to eliminate the bandits?" The captain of the regiment was a little confused and looked at the brighter and brighter sky.

"It should be, execute the order." Isna waved her hand and returned to the carriage.

Xiaoqin then asked in a low voice: "Miss, what if it weren't Lord Cons's troops?"

Isna, who took off her veil, held her hair in her ear and smiled, "If not, then such a huge army operation would have been discovered by Lord Cons long ago. We just need to wait for him to come and rescue him."

Jack was an imperial guard cavalry escorting the great priest. The journey went smoothly and nothing happened, but he was a little unlucky tonight. He was awakened by the commander while he was sleeping well, and then kicked out to reconnaise the identity of the cavalry in the distance.

This kind of reconnaissance mission against cavalry is very dangerous. Even if he is a cavalry, the danger is not much less than that of infantry. It is amazing that he can escape more distance, so he leaned over carefully.

Jack saw a large number of cavalry passing through the distance. Although there was a flag every few hundred cavalry, where could he see anything else at this time?

Just as he gritted his teeth and was about to move forward, he suddenly realized that he had been surrounded by several cavalrymen.

"Hehe, brother, see clearly what I have in my hands. Don't think about escaping, don't force us to kill." A cavalry raised the thing in his hand and smiled.

Looking at the blurry shadow, Jack knew that it was a bow and arrow, and at the same time, he knew that the cavalry would not leave prisoners. He immediately sat helplessly on the ground and raised his hand to express his surrender.

"Haha, you are very conscious of the current affairs. Let's see what the first prisoner looks like..." The man holding the bow and arrow said, dismounting and lighting the torch.

Several cavalrymen next to them dismounted, took out the rope and smiled, "Captain, a prisoner is not enough for you to be promoted, you still need to work hard."

"Damn, of course I know this, but if you are lucky, you may all become the captain." The captain said as he held up the torch and quickly shouted: "Huh? Are you not Jack of the 12th Regiment? Why did you come here by escorting the great priest?"

Hearing this, Jack was stunned for a moment, looked up and looked up. Damn, acquaintance! He immediately jumped up: "Damn! I was scared to death by you. I received an order to reconnaissance. Those cavalry are our cavalry unit, right?"

The team leader chatted with Jack in a angrily voice, while the cavalrymen who were holding ropes and preparing to tie up the captives returned to the horse with a look of bad luck.

Jack curled his lips to them and asked, "What's going on? Are you nervous? When did you want to capture prisoners so much?"

"Ha, you know that we don't have a team leader now. The last time the soldiers voted, everyone's votes were the same, so Lord Cons took this opportunity to decide the candidates based on the number of prisoners in each team. Let me tell you, my team leader has publicly stated in the wing that whoever captures more prisoners will be promoted, and those who are not officials will be captured by one prisoner and one silver coin."

Jack was stunned. Why did these cavalrymen become so greedy for money after a day of missing? After a while, hesitated and said, "A prisoner only has one silver coin, that's too cheap, right?"

"Hey, it's not cheap anymore. You have to know that there are at least tens of thousands of gangsters in front of you. There are only ten prisoners with one gold coin. And this is a private transaction. All the prisoners have to be handed over. Do you think they can be sold as slaves? Besides, these prisoners are all bandits, and they carry their belongings with you. If you catch a leader level, you'll be given away."

The team leader drooled, as if he was thinking of something, and said mysteriously: "If you have time, you can also help the robbers. You can sell me two silver coins. The property on the captive belongs to you, and the captives can also be exchanged for money. There is no such good thing when you return to the king."

"You want to be promoted, too?" Jack said blankly.

"Hehe, who doesn't want to be promoted?" the captain grinned.

"But we need to protect the great priest." Jack was a little moved, but when he thought of his mission, he hesitated again.

"So what? Lord Cons personally led 20,000 infantry to fight in the mountains and forests, and there were 10,000 cavalry around us. The priest in the middle was so safe. Besides, you only dispatched one regiment, and the remaining 500 cavalry were still afraid that they would not be able to protect the priest? If you have anything, you can move to our side." The captain smiled.

Jack thought for a moment: "I can only convey these things to the brigade captain. I can't do it if it can be implemented."

"Haha, as long as you remind them that this is a good opportunity to make extra money, your captain will definitely agree. By the way, don't forget to sell the prisoners to me, I will give you two silver coins." The captain reminded him.

After Jack left, the captain's men asked, "Captain, do you have so much money? If they are dispatched in one wing, they can capture thousands of people at least, which are hundreds of gold coins."

"Stupid, I won't resell it to others at a higher price? People who want to be promoted have a vote. Don't say that I am the boss, I will eat alone. Do you guys want to participate?" the team leader asked after getting on the horse.

"That's all right, of course I participated." The cavalry nodded.

"Then the traitor, wait and see how many patrons there are. Remember not to make a big fuss." The team leader led the team to chase the cavalry brigade.

Jack returned to the camp and the intelligence was released, and the two reconciliated wings immediately. Not long after, Isna's consent was granted by the excuse of assisting friendly forces in combat. They sent more than 200 people to run away under the command of the captain.

As for the team leader himself, he didn't go out. Who knew that if he left the great priest and went to earn extra money, he would not be in trouble when he returned to the king? Anyway, the benefits would not be missing.

The two rockets took off, and the night attack troops immediately moved closer to their closest companions, assembled into a wing, and began to fight head-on.

At the beginning, the troops gathered by the bandits could not withstand the attacks of these regular elite gangs and either died or fled; the infantrymen of the Cons army did not receive the order to capture the enemy as much as possible, and the battle situation is now hot, so how can we have time to surrender?

When the big leaders of the bandit army came up with the assembled bandits, the offensive of the night attack troops began to be blocked, and the leaders of the bandit army also began to gather the bandits running around and prepare to surround the night attack troops.

However, this mission is obviously difficult to complete, because the speed of these terrifying bandits gathering was too slow, which made the leaders curse: "Damn guy! They all look like rabbits when they escape, and they look like snails when they gather!"

Although it was slow, the bandits who survived the night attack were gathered around the night attack troop.

"Support! Reinforcements are right behind! Victory belongs to us!" The officers of Cons' troops commanded the troops to fight while boosting morale.

The engineers of Cons' troops gritted their teeth and supported them.

The big leader of the bandit army was even more direct: "These are only these people, we have tens of thousands of brothers! One person can drown them if he urinates! Come on me! Kill an enemy and reward one gold coin!"

The bandits who didn't know the situation around looked at the few hundred enemies in front of them, and then looked at the two or three thousand companions around them. The idiot also knew that he had the upper hand. With the temptation of reward, his morale immediately boosted and he began to rush towards the night attack troops frantically.

Vela is a bandit who is only eighteen years old. Don’t look at his youth. He has killed at least five colleagues over the years. Now he is rushing forward with a swearing and rushing forward.

"Damn it, why didn't I say I'd give you a gold coin earlier? Otherwise, I wouldn't have hid behind, so I can't even cut it up now. Hey! If you can't cut someone in front, please get out of here!"

The person in front immediately scolded him: "That's a big deal! The gold coins are my!"

These words immediately made the team more crowded. Vela only felt that the people behind were pushing him desperately, while the people in front were retreating, and he was completely trapped in the middle. He wanted to draw his sword and fight out, but unfortunately he would definitely be hacked to death if he did this, so he could only curse.

He was cursing happily, but suddenly darkened in the air, and then his whole body felt ache, and he felt that his body was gone.

The bandits behind the bandits who were rushing to the front line looked at a dense rain of arrows, shot from behind the night attack troops. The bandits who were crowded in the second echelon to fight with the night attack troops, including those who were squeezed so hard that they could not move, immediately became hedgehogs and fell to the ground.

The night attack troops, which were fighting with the bandits, also discovered this situation and immediately cheered, and at the first time, they cut down the bandits who were fighting with them to the ground.

Before the bandits could figure out what was going on, countless figures of torches rushed out of the darkness and shouted, "Kill!"
