After learning from the past, in order to prevent Allen from launching a sneak attack, Legg listed the Raging Thunder Knight as a target of protection. Whether it was resting or marching, the surroundings of the Raging Thunder Knight would definitely be heavily defended by the Gale Infantry. Originally, the Raging Thunder Knight belonged to a highly mobile unit, but such an arrangement would instead become a chicken rib, making the commander even more foolish and ridiculous.
However, nearly half of the Raging Thunder Knight had already been killed, especially the elites of the standard level. Five of them had died in battle. Everyone was a precious asset to Storm City. Facing Allen's team that was far above average, Legg had no choice but to do so in order to prevent the Raging Thunder Knights from further reducing their numbers, even though he knew it looked stupid.
After arranging the army like an iron turtle, Legg still locked onto Allen's group. He knew that the bandits on the attacking side would not be so relaxed if their side suffered losses. After all, every time they attacked, they would face an army that was several times larger than theirs. Even if there were no casualties, they would begin to feel tired and their combat strength would decline.
So Legg sent out the Gale Infantry to search for places where the bandits might appear. Once the target was discovered, the nearby team would be notified with a signal. The search team would form a net to hold back the other party, while Legg would lead the main force to carry out a destructive attack.
Such an arrangement was immediate.
Very quickly, in the afternoon of the same day, the search team found traces of the bandits. However, the other party seemed to have sensed the danger ahead of time and left before the search team could form an encirclement. +. Legg was so angry that he stomped his feet.
In the evening, when the army was cooking and resting, the bandits suddenly appeared and fiercely attacked the barracks, causing no damage before quickly leaving.
For three days, Legg led his army around Allen. In three days, the two sides attacked and defended each other. Storm City's army was like a lion, while Allen's team was like a pack of wolves. The pack of wolves came and went like the wind. Every time they attacked, they would tear off a piece of flesh from the lion. Then, without waiting for the lion to counterattack, the pack of wolves fled far away, leaving the lion with a body full of strength, but no place to use it.
In this kind of entanglement, Allen's side also suffered losses. Four warriors of the King Of Mountains and a Dark Blade had died in battle one after another. Even their corpses had not been retrieved in time before the team had to leave. It could be seen how short and intense each battle had been.
On the fourth day, Legg's eyes were already red. For the past few nights, he hadn't had the chance to sleep at all. Every night, he slept with his clothes on and would immediately get up at the slightest sign of trouble. However, such persistence did not come without rewards. The information sent back by the search teams indicated that not only had the wolf pack lost members, but the enemy's warriors were also wounded.
At noon that day, Legg received the latest information. The pack of wolves had already begun to move. They were no longer lingering in the vicinity and were instead heading straight for the direction of the Bloodrock Wasteland. Legg sneered, knowing that it was time to counterattack with all his might.
Soon, the army set off. This time, the cavalry was no longer under heavy protection, and Legg led them straight towards the wolves. The Fierce Gale Infantry advanced at full speed, following behind the cavalry in a rapid march. As a result, the line was naturally lengthened, and there were even people falling behind at the back. However, at the very least, Legg guaranteed that more than half of his combat strength would be able to catch up with the pack of wolves and launch the final decisive battle.
Perhaps the gods had not abandoned him. In the evening, the setting sun dyed the wilderness red like blood. Legg saw the pack of wolves in front of him from afar. They seemed to be exhausted and were resting against some low hills. Legg didn't hide it. In any case, they couldn't run faster than the cavalry in this flat environment, so they simply urged their horses to run wildly. Dozens of cavalry stepped on a deafening hooves. Two hundred infantry followed closely behind, raising sand and dust like flags.
"They're here." Regis stood on the hill and shouted.
Allen nodded and said to Belmore, "Send the signal."
Legg, who was already beginning to feel his blood boil, suddenly saw a flame soar into the sky from the pack of wolves. It flickered in midair and did not extinguish for a long time. Obviously, the other party had sent out some kind of signal. This made Legg's heart sink, because he could not think of any other tricks the wolves could play at this time. He didn't pay any attention to them. He drew his sword and shouted, "Charge!"
However, at this moment, the sound of killing came from behind him. Legg turned around and almost fainted.
Behind their group, a group of people suddenly rushed out from each side. Among the two groups of ambushes, the Knight running at the front raised his guns and aimed at the Gale Infantry. Although the power of the guns was limited and the yardstick was not high, many infantry were hit in the thigh and turned around one after another. Then, he was chopped to death by the ambush, causing Legg's eyes to almost spit out fire.
The ambush gathered in the middle, biting Legg and the others' tails like a dragon, and eating the Gale Infantry behind them bit by bit. If this continued, as long as the pack of wolves in front of them attacked, Legg and the others would definitely be attacked on both sides. Legg immediately gestured for the cavalry to scatter left and right, turn around, and charge towards the ambush. Legg wanted to take care of the ambush first before the pack of wolves ate it.
However, he didn't expect that Allen didn't even think of killing him. Even if there was an ambush from the Rangers behind them, Storm City's army still had the advantage in numbers. Once the troops behind them rushed over, they would only be able to escape. In Allen's plan, he had never thought that he would be able to eat Storm City's army here.
He gestured to Regis on the hill and said, "Leave this to Hansen and the others. We'll meet up with Roy and the others at the predetermined location. It's time to get down to business."
Thus, the pack of wolves quietly left the arena.
Legg rushed to the front, his sword pointing at the back of the Rangers who were ambushing. Hansen, who was riding on a wild lizard, killed several infantry in a row with his left axe and right spear. Seeing that Legg's Knight had already rushed over, he immediately shouted, "Shield soldiers, dragon spear, hurry up, boys!"
They arrived last night, according to Allen's plan. After luring out Storm City's army in the name of Dick, the Rangers would take over and be responsible for entangling Storm City's army here. Now that Allen had left, it was naturally time for the Rangers to perform.
Ten sturdy shieldbearers moved forward to fight, and the tower shields that were as tall as a person stabbed heavily into the ground. The shield soldier's entire body was almost leaning against the shield as a fulcrum to resist the impact. Three-meter-long dragon spears pierced through the gaps in the shield formation, one end inserted into the ground, and the tip of the spear aimed at the charging cavalry. Everyone held their breaths and waited. In the next moment, the two sides collided fiercely.
This was a collision of steel. The cavalry at the front were either overturned, or their horses or bodies were pierced through by the dragon spear.
Four or five of the Rangers' shield soldiers also vomited blood and fell to the ground. Their shields caved in, and even a few dragon spears were broken. After this wave of impact, the cavalry rushed into the gap, but what greeted them was the Rangers' fire/spear formation. Nearly twenty gunmen concentrated their fire at close range. Even though the power of the projectiles was not enough to penetrate the armor, they still caused the cavalry to bloom with blood when they hit their unprotected thighs or hands. More firepower landed on the warhorses. Blood splashed everywhere on the warhorses, and they cried out in all directions. The horses fell to the ground and overturned the Knight, causing dust and smoke to fill the entire arena.
After Raging Thunder Knight fell off his horse, he jumped up in a well-trained manner. Then, he covered his face and chest with his shield and rushed out of the smoke screen with his steel sword in his hand, charging towards the fire/spear team. Seeing this, Hansen jumped off the Berserk Lizard and charged forward with his saber and axe, forming a steel line of defense with his elite warriors.
After half an hour of entanglement between the Rangers and Legg's army, the follow-up army of Storm City finally arrived. Seeing that things could not be done, Hansen used his saber and axe to force Legg away and shouted, "Boys, retreat!"
The fire/spear team immediately provided cover fire. Although the Rangers retreated, they did not panic and retreated in an orderly manner, avoiding the quagmire of a bitter battle after the Storm City army gathered. Legg spat out a mouthful of saliva as he watched the mercenary band swagger off. He wanted to chase after them, but looking at the exhausted warriors behind him, he could only give up.
Over the next two days, Legg's army had several conflicts with the Rangers. However, these battles were intense and short. Often, before Legg could warm up, the Rangers had already withdrawn and left the arena. They're like annoying mosquitoes, biting you when you're not paying attention. You can't die, but your entire body itches.
Legg was like this now. He wished he could find the Rangers and kill them all. However, this group of people were experienced in battle and didn't give Legg a chance to trap them. Legg could only helplessly tangle with them.
Just as Legg and the Rangers were entangled, an army quietly entered Storm City's territory and passed through the small towns that Allen had attacked. Because these towns were already empty, and because the army and the bandits were fighting nearby, there were few people in this area. As a result, Mo De didn't even know that there was an army in his territory.
In the end, the army met up with Allen in the forest near Storm City. The army was made up of Sur City's city guards and recruits, with a total of about two hundred people. In addition to the two special squads, the King Of Mountains and the Dark Blade, the number of people in the team was equal to the recruits in charge of guarding Storm City. However, with such a large number of people attacking Storm City head-on, they still had no chance of winning, and might even be defeated miserably. The two cannons on the high wall were not decorations. Even if the defenders were inexperienced recruits, they could easily operate them to cause a large number of casualties.
Therefore, after Roy handed over the command to Allen, the army did not act rashly. They stayed in the forest until late at night. When it was around four in the morning, it was the darkest time of the day. There were torches burning on the high walls of Storm City, but the flames were so dim in the dark night. The two soldiers on duty on the wall yawned repeatedly. They were so sleepy that they wanted to fall asleep several times.
The tired soldiers did not notice that something had quietly appeared in the shadows of the corners and sentry towers.
