Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 324 Guerrilla
It wasn't that Robin was unwilling to train a legendary marksman; it was just that there were many difficulties involved.

These sharpshooters, having always remained hidden in the rear, lacked experience in close combat and life-or-death battles on the front lines.

Such life-or-death trials are often the key factors in unleashing potential and breaking through limits.

The difficulty they faced in breaking through was several times greater than that of the Knights, which Robin found very regrettable.

Knights charge into battle, undergoing countless baptisms of fire. Their life force is constantly honed in their struggles with enemies, and their horsemanship and swordsmanship become increasingly refined in life-or-death duels, thus giving them more opportunities to break through their own limits.

Sharpshooters usually launch attacks from a relatively safe distance. While this method of combat can effectively kill enemies, it is not conducive to them achieving a great leap in their personal strength.

If Wilke had two legendary archers, no, even one would be enough to terrify the surrounding powers.

The existence of a legendary marksman is like the Grim Reaper on the battlefield.

His arrows were not only incredibly accurate, but also extremely powerful, capable of delivering a fatal blow when the enemy was completely unprepared.

Just look at Robin, the archer knight, to see this.

Now, whenever Robin appears on the battlefield, enemy officers, regardless of rank, will not easily show themselves, for fear of being shot dead by Robin's arrow.

Robin's fame has spread throughout the land; his archery skills are legendary.

He was able to accurately pinpoint the location of enemy officers in complex battlefield environments and then fire a fatal arrow from an extremely long distance.

His arrows seemed to have eyes, always able to pierce through obstacles and hit their target.

Once, during a fierce battle, a high-ranking enemy general hid behind a heavy guard, thinking himself safe and sound.

Robin, with his precise judgment of wind direction, light, and terrain, fired an arrow that pierced through the crowd and struck the general in the throat, instantly throwing the enemy army into chaos.

Therefore, Robin was well aware of the immense value of a legendary sharpshooter.

He looked at the soldiers of the Sharpshooter Battalion and silently hoped that they could find opportunities to break through their limitations in future battles and grow into beings that would truly strike fear into the hearts of their enemies.

He was also considering whether he should adjust the training strategy to give sharpshooters more opportunities to participate in more intense and dangerous battles, even though doing so might result in some casualties, but it might be the only way to cultivate legendary sharpshooters.

………………

Silva's squad was urgently recalled on their way to the Farman division because the Farman division had been completely wiped out.

They were on a mission to assist the Farman tribe in attacking Wilke territory, but they never expected to receive such terrible news before they even reached their destination.

Silva looked incredulous.

His eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Farman is a legendary peak knight, an extremely powerful being. On this continent, there are only a handful of knights who can reach the legendary peak.

Moreover, Farman's ability to briefly control the power of order after using the Gatekeeper's Secret Technique further empowers him.

Accompanying them were four other legendary knights, all of whom were battle-hardened and exceptionally skilled.

In Silva's mind, this lineup was incredibly powerful. Even if the opponent had an Order Knight present, if they couldn't win, escaping wouldn't be a problem.

But now they have been completely wiped out.

Silva couldn't understand what kind of power could have completely annihilated Farman's forces.

He began to imagine various possible scenarios in his mind: Was he facing an enemy several times his size?
But Wilke territory doesn't seem to have such a strong military force. Could they have fallen into some kind of trap?
But Farman wasn't someone who would be easily fooled.

"Captain, could this information be wrong?" one of the team members couldn't help but ask.

Silva shook his head: "Unlikely. Such information would definitely be verified by multiple parties before being conveyed to us."

"So what exactly happened?" The team members were all puzzled.

After a moment of contemplation, Silva said, "Let's go back first. Perhaps we can find out the specifics when we get back. However, whatever the reason, we must be careful. The fate of the Valman tribe tells us that this battlefield in the West is full of unknown dangers."

So Silva's team turned around and headed back the way they came.

Throughout the journey, their hearts were heavy. The annihilation of the Falman tribe made them realize that the situation in this war was far more complex and dangerous than they had imagined.

The news of the complete annihilation of the Farman forces quickly sent shockwaves across the western front.

The news spread like wildfire throughout the Western Regions.

All the factions were shocked and at a loss by this sudden news.

Both the Knights Guild and the Bauhinia Organization understood that Robin had returned.

In this land, Robin's name represents formidable fighting prowess and exceptional military strategy.

His return undoubtedly adds even more uncertainty to the already complex and volatile situation in the West.

The Gatekeeper Knights, meanwhile, began mobilizing their troops, preparing for retaliation.

They could not tolerate such humiliation; the complete annihilation of a once-powerful force was a huge blow to their reputation and prestige.

Their high-ranking officers gathered to discuss how to launch a retaliatory attack on Wilke territory.

They mobilized more troops and prepared better weapons and equipment, determined to completely annihilate Robin and Wilke's army.

Robin didn't care at all. While he had Andysu strengthen the army's training, he led the Warblade Knights to start guerrilla warfare.

Given the current strength of Wilke's army, it would be unwise to confront the Gatekeeper Knights' army head-on.

He planned to use guerrilla tactics to constantly harass the enemy and deplete their manpower.

Robin leads the War Knights, moving like ghosts through every corner of the Western Regions.

They choose the right moment to launch a surprise attack on small groups of the Gatekeeper Knights or their supply lines.

Each attack was swift and precise; they would strike and run, giving the enemy no chance to retaliate.

Given Robin's strength, anyone who encounters her, except for an Order Knight, is certain to die.

A strange scene then unfolded on the battlefield: the stronger the attacked team, the faster they died, while ordinary soldiers suffered relatively few casualties.

Andy Sue, meanwhile, strictly carried out Robin's orders at Wilkesburg, intensifying the army's training.

He developed a series of training plans tailored to the different characteristics of the soldiers.

Under his guidance, the soldiers of the Sharpshooter Battalion further improved their accuracy and rate of fire in archery.
This is also why Robin discovered that Andysul had unique insights into training soldiers. Combined with Robin's "advanced" training knowledge, even slave soldiers could become elite given enough time.
