Light and Darkness, Pitt Michael [classic english novels .TXT] 📗

group of thieves. This castle is 415 miles southwest of Valborg. To 10 miles is the Demon Forest. Although the geographical location is not important, there are two small towns and dozens of villages nearby. I don’t want to give up my thousands of people, so I need you to take this castle back. Those five Ten thousand gold jewelry is even your initial funding. As for whether you go by yourself, or pull up a heavy cavalry brigade and go again, I don’t care. The commission period is half a year."

　　Opherock continued: "As long as you have captured the castle, I will let my father seal the land to you. In the future, you will be nobles with fiefdoms. And I will invest 100,000 gold coins in the hammer of God of War to calculate the principal of my joining. I want half of the income, huh, huh. "

　　 Hearing a lot of excitement, he immediately came over and started to study the map. Naturally, he didn't study it for a long time. Ofirok always looked at him with a smile, but a guard behind him revealed a disdain.

　　Ett suddenly raised his head and asked: "We don't have a soldier and a soldier, how can we defeat a thief group? Ah, yes, how many thieves are there, is there any relevant information?"

　　Alices coldly said: "Should I remember to ask for information now?" Etden flushed. Ofirok still replied in a hurry: "That rogue group is actually a brigade of the Ice and Silver Fox Mercenary Corps of the Principality of Ron, with about 500 people, and the combat effectiveness is very good. Of course, they have continued to increase in the past six months. The possibility of soldiers."

　　 Roger thought for a moment and asked: "These thieves and mercenaries should not be in the eyes of the golden lion. If you go once in person, it is a single shot, scaring can scare them away."

　　Golden Lion smiled faintly, and said, "This is just a small test. If you do, I hope that the Grand Duchy of Bavaria can have more loyal officials."

　　 Franco's eyes immediately shrank: "The Principality of Bavaria?"

　　 "Yes, the Principality of Bavaria."

　　 The temperature in the air dropped sharply, and the silent undercurrent surged.

　　Lens was rare and serious. "The soldiers of the Principality of Bavaria will be strong enough, and the strong will be like clouds. It is the hands of His Excellency Opheloc. It is not easy to pack up a few of us. Although a few of us are very disappointed, there is still some self-knowledge. There are no big ambitions for the brothers. Drink and drink every day, play with girls, and live a comfortable life. You might not be short of us?"

Ofirok glanced at the scum of several nobles and said, "I really appreciate the one you played in the "Old Oak" tavern. I think a few of them are made of materials. Moreover, in a short time, the hammer of God of War is so prosperous. Naturally, it won’t come out of nowhere. If the governing country cooks a small dish. It’s as good as governing the world, as small as operating a weapon, it’s nothing more than a grasp of people’s hearts."

He paused and continued: "If you want to live in just a few decades of cold and hot weather, you need alcohol, and swords need famous swords, that is, to fight for jealousy, but also to be a beauty that is famous all over the world. Allure smiled? Now, as long as you pass the little test, the opportunity is in front of you. What do you think?"

　　 Everyone's blood is boiling!

　　Roger suddenly raised his head, staring at the eyes of the golden lion, although the light stung his eyes, he did not flinch. "I did it," Roger said word by word.

　　 Franco sighed, "Oh, how can I let you die alone, I have to get your money back after you die."

　　 "It will be a pleasure to beauties everywhere!" The room was immediately filled with sour gas.

　　Etter sat heavily on the chair, doing his posture without waiting for his position, but the chair could not bear it first, and was torn apart. Et hey smiled and said no more embarrassment.

　　 "So, I'm waiting for the good news." Ofirok waved his hand and turned away.

　　Alices stopped suddenly, staring coldly at a few noble scum. Several people felt cold all at once, and immediately shivered, but found that their bodies could not move. Alice sneered, the black flame flashed, and the bodies of several noble scums were slowly raised into the air, and the cold voice in his ears sounded: "I don't know why Ophelo will value you so much. With your current strength And it’s not much different from a reptile, that is, how strong can it be in a few years? Besides, just a few clowns, you dare to look at me with that kind of eyes!!" A giant palm suddenly appeared on the heads of the four people, and several people were photographed on the ground.

　　Elysses turned away, and Black Flame jumped, as if still a few people who couldn't get up on the floor mockingly.

Several people calmed down and looked at each other. Ett asked: "Roger, why did you promise so fast?" Roger blushed old: "Opheroc is a real power, one of the best in the league. The great aristocrat, who is also known according to the localities, is rarely seen as such by us. How can there be such an opportunity to stagnate on weekdays." The others felt the same. As for the treason that Opheirok might have, Roger and others did not care. Even if they really betrayed, it is also a chance for the Principality of Bavaria to win. After all, Ofirok’s mother is the sister of the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, one of the three great powers.

　　 "Maybe I can get a founding hero or something." Lens, who was daydreaming, said suddenly. Everyone took it for granted. As for Kate, "blessed and shared, and can escape this kid." Et said insidiously.

　　 "The more people we bring this time, the better. I think we should also organize a mercenary corps, so that the official face is easy to explain." Franco suggested. Several people discussed it again and began to split up.

　　The days passed, and Roger and others recruited and bought horses with great pleasure. The Hammer of War has earned more than 20,000 gold coins in a few months, and with the 50,000 gold coins of Offirok, you can equip a 100-person cavalry. Either by open tricks or by secret digging, Rogge got 30 skilled mercenaries in a month, and the mercenary regiment was initially organized. As for the name of the mercenary regiment, several people were very noisy, and finally passed the name of "Dragon and Beauty" with 4:1 votes. That vote was against Franco, the only aristocrat with a real art taste among several people, but unfortunately he was alone.

　　 But what makes Roger helpless is intelligence. The specific number of thieves, chiefs, abilities, and equipment that occupy the small castle so far are unclear. Even the nearby terrain is not very clear. This is not to blame them. After all, several guys have just debuted, and they have no idea where to start intelligence. After the two scouts sent in succession were completely unavailable, several people became restless. After several deliberations, it was finally decided to bring all the men and women to scout once.

ambush

 

The sun dappled in the forest. Even the noonday sun in midsummer leaves little after passing through the unusually lush foliage. In the Demon Forest, even the edge is always cold and wet.
　　 Thirty knights walked through the forest silently, most of them wearing elaborate half-length knight armor, carrying a sharp axe gun, and about half of the knights were still hanging long bows. This team of knights is Rogge's "Dragon and Beauty" mercenary regiment. When there were more than 200 miles from Cyrillsburg where the thieves (or mercenaries) were prevalent, some military-experienced Kate led the team and plunged into the Demon Forest. After a painful march in the forest, the mercenaries were less than 100 miles from their destination. The journey was smooth and no fierce World of Warcraft was encountered. After all, the mercenaries only acted on the edge of the forest.

　　 There are quite a lot of mountains around Cellesburg, but they are mostly low hills. Due to its remote location and lack of property, plus Ophiorok’s intentional indulgence, no one has asked about the fact that the city of Cellersburg has been occupied for half a year. It's just that it hurts the ordinary people in the surrounding area. But these are outdated information, and Roger and others finally have to rely on the map provided by Opheroc to conduct this reconnaissance.

　　 In the afternoon, the mercenaries estimated that they were less than 70 miles from Cellesburg, and were close to the patrol range of the other cavalry scout. At the order of Kate, the mercenaries opened the distance and slowly moved forward in a scattered formation. Four seasoned mercenaries jumped off the horse and quickly began to search forward.

　　The cavalry in the black half-length knight armour in the middle of the team is Roger. The fat man, who was not at all enlightened by the mage, carried a short battle axe in his hand. Tomahawk inherits the gorgeous style of "God of War", with beautiful lines and even people's feelings. The inscription of the engraving on the back of the axe is engraved with a rare black crystal. After seeing Rogge's appearance for the first time, Franco with a vicious mouth said, "I don't think the Tomahawk Master is funny."

Most mages are buried in magical scriptures for many years, and are exposed to various harmful substances (for humans, most parts of Warcraft are somewhat poisonous), physical strength is not very good, wearing heavy armor is absolutely Is a big burden. Moreover, metal proved to be a great hindrance to the accumulation of magic power. Even if a magician is standing still, wearing a full body of armor, the chance of magic failure will exceed 50%. In battle, this is a matter of life and death. For Rogge, neither is a problem. His mental power is too large, and it is extremely easy to control that poor magic power. And I don’t know if it is the reason why the body was transformed. Roger’s mental power is very small in gathering magic through the metal. At his point, he can only send three levels of magic. That is to seal him with a metal ball. When you get up, you can still release magic.

　　 Since entering the Demon Forest, Roger has often been in a trance state. In his eyes, everything around him often turned into flat paintings, and all kinds of strange hissing sounded in his ears. Roger looked blankly, as if standing in front of a huge landscape painting. He impulsively tried to pierce this layer of paper with a battle axe several times to see what was behind. He seemed to see Kate coming over and talking to him loudly, and he was like
