Chapter 39 Panic Escape The spear phalanx composed of Swadian infantry and light infantry is not the kind of hedgehog formation that can only stand in place. Instead, it was a battle formation similar to the Macedonian Phalanx, able to place the spears flat, move forward and push forward! This requires a high level of organization and training. Coincidentally. Both of these conditions are possessed by the fourth-tier Swadian Infantry and the third-tier Swadian Light Infantry! "kill!" The Swadian soldiers moved forward steadily. They stood shoulder to shoulder, closely following each other, and thrust forward continuously with the spears in their hands. In the eyes of those jackals and wild goblins, they saw a row of burly and strong human soldiers, who put up a shield wall in front of them, and then held long, thick and sharp spears, pushing towards them like a hydraulic press. They were terrified!
Any gnoll or wild goblin that appeared in front of the spear, whether he was wielding a scimitar or a battle axe, could only swing it two or three times in vain, knocking down one or two or two or three spears that were stabbing at him. But before he could swing his weapon to block the next spear thrust, he found that either his chest, abdomen, or even his neck and face had been hit by the sharp spear tip. The spear stabbed in hard, stayed there for half a second, and was pulled out in an instant, only to be stabbed in again by another spear tip! As long as these gnolls and wild goblins who have not retreated and stand in front of the Swadian soldiers, they will be stabbed full of bloody holes at the first encounter and will be unstoppable! There's no way to stop it! This kind of spear phalanx, pike phalanx, or even super spear phalanx can easily block the first few spear heads. But facing the swarms, they stabbed continuously like waves. Can he still withstand the next few rounds of stabbings, or even the long spears of the Swadian soldiers in the second or third row next to him, who deliberately stabbed him diagonally and specifically in the ribs! ? The continent of Calradia in the world of Mount & Blade has experienced countless wars since the collapse of the Calad Empire hundreds of years ago. The chaos among the six kingdoms alone continues. Moreover, in addition to the major wars among the six kingdoms, there were also internal struggles among the various forces or lords within the kingdoms. Even the endless stream of banditry still needs to be cleared up. This leads to an extremely high density of wars in the world of Mount and Blade, and therefore the various tactics developed and the tactical qualities of the various soldiers are extremely high! They were just a group of gnolls or wild goblins from the desert border of the spirit world. They usually bullied serfs or conscripted soldiers. They encountered young men in the Mount & Blade world who were eager to make achievements for the sake of honor and money. They voluntarily accepted recruitment as soldiers and were instilled with truly perfect combat skills through the Mount & Blade system during upgrades. It was as if these living war machines had really experienced four or five years of fighting on the battlefield in the white light before completing the upgrade. It's just a joke that brings humiliation upon oneself! "These... these human soldiers..." "How could they be militia?!" Even Zhang Caidong and the two brothers of the Sun family, who had pushed open the fire door of the stairs and entered, had faces full of disbelief at this moment. What we knew from the intelligence before was just the dozen or so militiamen from the spiritual world on the seventh floor. They don't even have leather armor, and the weapons in their hands look more like farm tools than inferior humans!
How come we haven't even reached the seventh floor yet and have already encountered a group of elite soldiers who are fully armed, from helmets to armor to leg armor, and they are all fully armed with chain mail? ! Look behind these soldiers, in the dim light of the corridor, a castle made entirely of stone suddenly appears... How could the three of them not be surprised? ! "Wait! The young fellow those gnolls were talking about, the lucky guy who found the mark of the spirit world, definitely didn't get more than a dozen Terran militiamen!" At this time, Zhang Caidong reacted immediately, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "It's the inheritance of the Lord!" "Lord... inheritance!?" When the two brothers of the Sun family heard this word, their fat faces full of flesh trembled visibly, and deep greed and jealousy appeared in their squinting eyes. Especially when he looked up in front of him, he saw the 34 wild goblins under his two brothers' command, only less than 20 were left in just one encounter. There was a look of pain and resentment on his face. But they knew what the lord represented. Even if I don’t know. Now, facing such elite soldiers, he was still struggling in the narrow corridor and was at a disadvantage. How could I not understand? "retreat!" The second son of the Sun family immediately roared, ordering the wild goblins, who were confused because they had been in a tough fight from the start and had many of their companions stabbed to death in just a few encounters, to retreat. "Yes! Retreat!" At this time Zhang Caidong also reacted and shouted to his jackals to retreat. The eyes also hurt. Because his werewolf is as tall as an ordinary person, has long legs, and can run fast. This also resulted in the 13 gnolls under his command suffering the most deaths during the initial rounds of harpoon fire and when the spear phalanx pushed forward. Now, after all the fights, there were only 6 gnolls left wailing as they retreated. Zhang Caidong, who was not very strong to begin with, was filled with despair when he saw these six jackals with more or less injuries on their bodies! In this era, the most important thing is whether one has inherited the mark of the spiritual world and whether there are spiritual creatures following him. This is a symbol of strength. The stronger the spiritual inheritance you obtain, the more powerful a professional you become, which means you have strong strength. At the same time, the stronger and more numerous the followers of the spiritual creatures you obtain, the more it shows that your strength is not low. After all, when you gain a large number of followers from the spiritual world, it will cause special changes in the spiritual world rules, allowing you to become more like the spiritual world creatures that are following you, possessing all the characteristics and powers of these creatures, and even some extraordinary talents. Just look at the two brothers of the Sun family next to them to see an example. They look fat and strong, holding war hammers in their hands and looking fierce. In fact, this is indeed the case. The two brothers did not release a large number of wild goblins at the beginning. Instead, they used the power of the space-time crystal core fragments to transform their bodies into wild goblins. They became stronger, more robust, fatter and shorter, and more and more like wild goblins. This is also the reason why Zhang Caidong is trying to win over the two brothers, because their fighting ability is indeed strong! But these have nothing to do with Zhang Caidong.
A bloody battle. Of his 13 jackals, 7 were killed. There is no possibility of any income. This means that not only will Zhang Caidong's strength be severely damaged, but he may also lose his position as deputy captain in the diesel company! Zhang Caidong knows clearly how realistic it is for the diesel company where whoever is stronger gets promoted. Of course, at this time, Zhang Caidong also rushed into the stairs in panic and started to run back the way he came. Including those gnolls and wild goblins, as well as the two brothers of the Sun family. Almost rolling and crawling. They were afraid that the elite human soldiers behind them, as well as the human lord who must have inherited the lord's legacy, would continue to rush out with elite troops to chase and kill them! "Damn it! Damn it! This is a human lord! This is a human lord!!!" "You have to compensate us for our losses! Zhang Caidong!!" But when they escaped from the apartment, the two Sun brothers were completely furious. They looked at the 17 wild goblins who had escaped with them. They also had wounds on their bodies, were panting, and had extremely frightened faces. After the panic, they saw Zhang Caidong who insisted on pulling their two brothers out. They were so angry that their teeth were about to break. If it weren’t for Zhang Caidong, how could they have suffered such a huge loss! “I…I…” Zhang Caidong felt even more angry. When I ate meat before, I didn’t think about ordering it myself. Now that he's been caught, he wants to blame all the losses on himself. How can such a good thing happen? Zhang Caidong was about to curse angrily, but when he saw the fat faces of the two Sun brothers, which were obviously filled with murderous intent, and thought that he only had six jackals left, his heart suddenly trembled. He still gritted his teeth and explained slowly, "We three brothers failed this time, but it's not really a failure." "What do you mean?" Boss Sun looked at him viciously and asked. "A human lord, and a human territory that has just arrived! Do you understand what this means?" "As long as we bring this message back!" "The Diesel Company must give us a chance to show off our achievements! You know, a new wave of black tide is coming soon! Countless undead monsters will appear during the day! They will attack all the territories they can see!" "Our diesel company is also one of the biggest targets facing attacks from undead monsters in this area!" "If Diesel can obtain the core fragment of the territory held by this human lord before the black tide..." "Then we can cross the Kuroshio Tide more easily!" "Even..." "The ones who overwhelmed the Green Leaf Group, the Wood Elves!" The more Zhang Caidong analyzed, the more a look of bewitchment and excitement appeared on his face. Because what he said does make sense.
Even the two brothers of the Sun family were brought into Zhang Caidong's thoughts at this time and nodded subconsciously. "That's right, we should report back to the diesel company." "That's it." Hearing this, Zhang Caidong smiled and said, "Then let's go. This is our chance!" But when he turned his head, his eyes were full of indifference. He is Zhang Caidong. He is not an easy person to get along with! (End of this chapter)
