Heroes of the Invincible Knight

"Quick, quick, run."

In Mill Village, twenty miles away from Ironwood City, the sheriff called out to a group of young and robust villagers.

"Squad, stand at attention."

"counting"

"one two three……"

"Report to the magistrate, there should be 56 people in the mill village guards, but there are actually 56 people, please issue an order."

In the mill village under the rule of Ironwood City, a group of peasants and soldiers are gathering in the square.

Each of them held an iron and wood spear, and some of them carried hunting bows on their backs, but they wore various clothes. Some wore cotton-padded clothes and tied a rattan armor made of swordgrass, and some wore leather armor and leather helmets. , A few people even inlaid some iron pieces on the leather armor.

Although the equipment is varied, the formation is decent. Although they are a little nervous, their morale is still high. They are a little more eager than most of the land-numbed farmers.

"turn right"

"Keep in formation and run to Ironwood City."

Soon the villagers left the village and headed towards Ironwood City, only leaving behind the old and weak women and children who were seeing them off as they faded away.

And this scene happened simultaneously in dozens of villages under the rule of Hunter.

Compared with the procrastination of Weir collar, the mobilization of Hunter collar is much faster and more efficient.

Under Li Cha's instruction, Ironwood City was the center and spread to dozens of surrounding villages. During the non-busy farming season, civilians were organized to conduct basic combat training every month, and a complete combat mobilization system was in place.

Now the war machine that Li Cha spent years building will show its fangs for the first time.

...

A few days later, all the peasants and soldiers in Ironwood Collar and the militia in Ironwood City had assembled, and it was obvious that the militiamen in Ironwood City were better equipped than the peasants and soldiers in the village.

Most of the militiamen in Ironwood City wore leather armor, and some even wore old and damaged iron armor. However, except for an ironwood gun, which was issued by the territory, they brought their own equipment, and the Hunter family did not. I will ask.

In order to save their lives, everyone tried their best to prepare some armor for themselves, but even the appearance of rare items like iron armor also showed that some people did get rich first under Richard's governance.

...

In the Ironwood Castle at this moment, the main members of the Hunter family and the centurions of the Ironwood City Guard were conducting an important battle deployment after the war in the chamber.

It was rare for Richard to sit on the main seat and give orders, while Viscount Sauter sat in the second seat and waited for Richard's arrangement.

"Second Uncle and Third Uncle led the cavalry to cover the flanks to prevent Will's cavalry from attacking our flanks."

"yes"

"Father and I lead the Guards together."

Of course, the knights should be used together to crush them with an invincible posture, instead of being scattered and let people attack one by one.

"good"

Li Cha used the soldiers produced by the system alone as personal guards. This group of soldiers who are absolutely loyal and fearless are definitely the best guards.

"Kocha, lead the newly recruited city guards and some militiamen to guard Ironwood City and maintain order."

There were originally 300 guards in Ironwood City, all of whom had been trained for a long time. Li Cha planned to let them guard Ironwood City with 200 newly recruited soldiers this time to prevent accidents.

Hastily adding new recruits without long-term training to the team may also reduce the overall combat capability and have a counterproductive effect.

"I want to fight together."

Kocha is the son of Li Cha's second uncle's family, a little older than Li Cha, and he is a newly promoted quasi-knight.

Kocha is very convinced of Li Cha's cousin. He has never questioned Li Cha's decision in the past. This time he was really in a hurry and was about to fight a big fight, but Li Cha asked him to defend the city. He was indeed a little bit uncomfortable.

"Cousin, women and children are in the city, it is equally important to protect them."

"yes"

Having said that, Kocha couldn't say anything more.

After continuing to arrange a few things, Li Cha asked the others to disperse, but left Kocha alone.

"Is my cousin dissatisfied with my arrangement?"

"No"

This is true, Kocha would complain at most, if he really wanted to say that he was dissatisfied with Li Cha, that would not be enough.

Li Cha nodded, not dwelling on the topic.

"There are so many people, I can trust my cousin even more." There are not many people in the Hunter family, and even fewer can go to war. Kocha is a person who is capable and can be completely trusted. Richard has other arrangements for him .

"If the battle is unfavorable, Cousin Kocha will protect the women and children in the castle, and retreat to the Ironwood Forest as a free citizen according to the plan. Steward Egger has stored enough supplies inside."

Don't think about victory, think about defeat first.

Although Li Cha had sufficient confidence in this war, his cautious personality also allowed him to prepare a response plan for the worst-case scenario.

Li Cha is a person who is used to planning everything well, and everything should be under his control. No matter what kind of accidents arise, he must deal with them calmly, without being in a hurry.

"yes"

Although Kocha wanted to go to the front to fight, but Li Cha made it very clear, and he also understood the importance of his mission.

...

After everyone dispersed, Li Cha walked to the attic on the top of Ironwood Castle alone.

Looking out, the entire Ironwood City is in sight.

Neat houses, spacious streets, passing carriages and pedestrians, and troops assembled on the school grounds.

There are endless ironwood forests and fields in the distance.

Regardless of the wind blowing his hair from a high place, Li Cha looked at everything in front of him with surging pride in his heart.

From then on, the situation in the mainland will be stirred up with the first ripples.

...

In the boulder castle, the candles in Viscount Will's room illuminated the entire room.

The intelligence gathered by the Ironwood City army has already been reported by spies.

Hunter's action was so fast that it made him feel uneasy. The peasants, soldiers and quasi-knights of the Will family gathered first, and so far only 4,000 people have gathered, and at least 1,000 people are still not in place.

Viscount Will is not an aristocrat without common sense, and he naturally understands what it means to mobilize and prepare efficiently.

An ominous premonition has been lingering in my heart. But the arrow is on the string, and it has to be launched. Unless they are willing to become a vassal of the Hunter family, this battle will be inevitable after all.

"call"

After blowing out the candles in the room heavily, Viscount Will lay down on the bed, forcing himself to fall asleep as soon as possible to maintain the best condition.

Under the darkness, the two territories were restless in the darkness.
