Tauren Overlord

As for the real old peasant thugs, whether it is the more than 1000 people in Qunshan Territory or the more than 3000 people in Aicao Town, they are all counted as local residents.

At most, they can provide some assistance and supplies to the real troops. With their combat effectiveness... it is really difficult to count them as real troops.

The theft brought about another change that Pierre had not expected.

Before setting out on an expedition, the troops of the Breos family would prepare their troop deployment in the Western Continent.

Although both the Mountain Territory and Artemisia Town lack high-level troops such as Pegasus Cavalry - because the high-level troops are left in the family headquarters in the Western Continent.

But the configuration of these low-level troops is generally balanced, without any particular shortcomings, unlike now, Pierre's troops are particularly weak in long-range capabilities.

In short, the thieves encountered in Aicao Town were really strange!

As the eldest son of a noble family, Gabriel was not new to the world.

He had seen robbery and rape, but the bandit he met this time really cut a path for him to get out of trouble - it really opened his eyes!

But Gabriel also realized that the thief's ability seemed to have a weakness - he seemed unable to take living people away.

How else to explain why he didn't take away the operators of the war machines so that they could operate those bulky machines?

Why weren't the people of Ai Cao Town kidnapped? They were all valuable labor!

Since the thief couldn't take anyone away, Gabriel had to dig more people and take away more labor resources, even if it meant robbing relatives!

As long as the old farmer can be obtained, the men can be captured to make arrows for the family, and the women can be sold as maids in exchange for the money that the family desperately needs, and then the salary can be paid...

Now the town of Artemisia is extremely poor, because the thief came here more than once.

He also stretched out his dirty claws towards Pierre's men and took their property!

This caused Pierre's family, which was not well-off to begin with, to show signs of financial collapse.

The subordinates whose property had been stolen also discovered that Pierre was not completely defenseless against such theft.

Thanks to the existence of the remains of the Paladin, Pierre's family is safe and sound, but the anti-magic range of this seal is limited, and many subordinates cannot be taken care of.

So Pierre's subordinates, especially the spellcasters, were not only filled with fear... they were probably also filled with dissatisfaction...

So how can Aicao Town break the impasse?

Pierre reported his theft to the governor of the Beast Suppression Province and begged the governor to send a more powerful spellcaster to deal with the unknown bandit.

At the same time, he gave half of the last elite troops, the Brios Light Cavalry, to Gabriel, asking him to tap into more labor.

The Brios Light Cavalry consisted mainly of Horse Squires and Horse Squire Archers.

Even though the Mounted Squire Archers now have bows but no arrows, they can still be regarded as melee troops with good combat effectiveness.

Of course, this "elite" and "excellent" are conditional. Compared with the old farmers, these light cavalry are undoubtedly the elite among the elite.

Gabriel also knew that this was the time for him to perform well.

If he failed at the moment when he was expected to do so, his father would probably turn his attention to his more intelligent sister...

By then, he might even lose his inheritance rights and become a laughing stock among the male heirs of the Burios family!

So this time, even if Gabriel has to take risks, he must win!

You are my cousin from the north, right? If those people are really the subjects you just gathered, then I can only lend them to you!

……

Lu Heng was not unprepared for Pierre's possible military adventure.

However, his main alert area was between Wormwood Town and Mountain Town.

It is difficult for Lu Heng to allocate too many resources to the Exile Land, which is neither an enemy nor a friend at present and is trying to make them stand on his side.

As for reconnaissance, the Ratman Reconnaissance Company has only more than 100 ratmen, and it is difficult to cover a large area.

When Lu Heng learned from the Ratman Reconnaissance Company that the Exile Land was about to be attacked, they were already very close to the Exile Land!

Their vanguards might only need half an hour's cavalry ride before they could begin plundering.

Lu Heng, who discovered this critical situation, quickly used the psychic potato to contact Rhea and Sintija who had just been stationed in the Land of Exile.

Let them work with Adeleide to provide as much protection as possible to civilians.

Lu Heng had already planned to convert these fleeing old farmers into his own subjects and would certainly not fail to save them.

In short, this cavalry attack was clearly a life-and-death crisis for the refugees in the Land of Exile.

But this is also an opportunity for Lu Heng.

Since the number of troops in Aicao Town is much greater than that in Qunshan Territory, Lu Heng has always lacked a good way to swallow them all in one go.

Now that you are sending them in batches, shouldn't I just accept them?

As for the fact that those who came this time are all elite troops, that’s perfect—I’m fighting against the elite troops!

67. I don’t want to play with your wife either.

Lu Heng's teleportation skill can ignore distance and appear directly in front of the enemy, but he cannot use this ability as the Baron of the Mountains.

As long as he used it in this way, this identity would definitely be suspected of being the implementer of the zero-yuan purchase in Aicao Town, and thus he would be targeted by all the lords of the empire.

Governor Edric of the Beast Suppression Province will also send a powerful spellcaster to identify Lu Heng's situation. If things go wrong, the Minotaur's identity will really be exposed.

Therefore, Lu Heng could not directly teleport his elite cavalry to the land of exile to confront Pierre's cavalry, as that would expose the fact that he had the ability to teleport.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, he couldn't even organize his two companies of ratmen for an ambush, which was completely different from when he fought against the White Legion.

Then the one who really attacks can only be Lu Heng’s other identity - the Minotaur Overlord!

But how should we attack in order to preserve this cavalry unit to the greatest extent possible while clearing out the diehards in this unit?

Lu Heng turned on the landing point vision and found that this group of cavalry was divided into at least three parts.

The vanguard consists of about 50 riders and is closest to the Land of Exile.

Some small settlements on the edge of the Exiled Lands have begun to be plundered by cavalry.

Next was the central cavalry unit of about 100 horses, and there were also some cavalry guarding the rear, also about 20 horses.

It seems that the opponent is not a complete novice, and he did not gather all the cavalry together and march together.

The distance between the cavalry units was not far, and there was obviously a certain connection between the units.

So, who is commanding this army?

Lu Heng asked a question about his "entry" talent.

At first, Lu Heng couldn't understand why the ability to display a few lines of words could be on the same level as an art like "healing"?

But as he became more proficient in using it, he gradually discovered that he could get a relatively accurate answer by asking questions.

The effect of his use of this art even surpassed that of the original "Secret Knight" Karlsson.

For example, the answer given to him by the entry now is:

[The enemy's commander is Gabriel de Bourriaux, Pierre's eldest son. This most determined diehard is in the middle of the team. Kill him quickly! ]

That's easy.

A flash of lightning appeared in the air, and a portal formed near the central cavalry, and a Tauren Lord walked out of it.

Along with it came a spear he threw!

"Enemy attack!"

The officer in charge of protecting Gabriel's safety, "Rye Mage" Balte, responded immediately.

This "magician" looked like a sophisticated middle-aged man with thick gray hair and a pair of deep blue eyes.

But he was not wearing armor, but a black robe, because his defense did not rely on any armor:

"Shield wall!"

Following a call from "Rye Mage" Baltai, the shields of dozens of cavalrymen around him flew up one after another.

The main component of this light shield is Tymenia Rye, which is easily controlled by Baltai.

Even though the troop formation was completely disorganized, the "Rye Mage" took only a few seconds to form a dense shield wall with dozens of flying shields.

This efficiency has surpassed that of most well-trained phalanx infantry.

However, the shield wall constructed by "Rye Mage" Baltai could not keep up with the dexterity of the Locking Spear.

Under Lu Heng's control, the Lock Gun rushed directly to a height of more than 50 meters, bypassed the shield wall, and then launched a precise air strike on Gabriel!

Gabriel, retreat quickly!

Looking at his panicked eyes, it seemed as if he was saying, "No! I am the eldest son who will inherit the territory. I can't do it so quickly, I can't..."

It’s a pity that no matter how cautious he was when setting up the formation, or how he was running away at full speed now, it was all meaningless in the face of absolute power!

"Gahhhhhhhh..." With Gabriel's scream, Lu Heng's headlock gun directly broke his forehead.

He was dead.

This made everyone present feel extremely shocked!

Especially the "Rye Wizard" Baltai, he had clearly tried his best to protect Gabriel, but to no avail!

What about him?

The "Rye Mage" Bartai suddenly realized and announced:

"Mission failed, we retreat south immediately!"

These Brios light cavalry did not stay to show off their strength. They all knew that if the Minotaur Lord could kill Gabriel, he could definitely kill them.

If we don't retreat now, we will just be waiting for death!

So they immediately bypassed the Tauren Overlord and started running away.

But on their retreat route, they were stopped by the rear guard officer appointed by Gabriel, the "Sealer" Maxim.

Seeing that his colleagues were still here, Bartai, the "Rye Mage", shouted:

"Retreat! Retreat! We have encountered extremely powerful beastmen. We cannot defeat them at all..."

However, the word that shone in the mind of "Sealer" Maxim was not "retreat", but "surrender!"

He knew that retreat was a dead end. Only surrender! Surrender! would bring a bright future!

Maxim the Sealer decisively ran up to Bartai the Rye Mage and whispered to him:

"Go back? We couldn't even protect the first heir to the territory, how could we not be punished?"

"And you know our lord well. If we go back, will he kill us without hesitation?"

"No! He will only force us and our wives to participate in some strongest couple competition!"

"Instead of torturing each other's wives... why don't we work for different lords together!"

With the reminder of Maxim the Sealer, Baltai the Rye Mage finally remembered the former auction house steward and coachman, as well as their wives...

If I really go back like this, I'm afraid I won't just be the one to be punished!

It is also very likely that just as "Sealer" Maxim said, he will bring his wife to join the next strongest couple competition!

"Rye Wizard" Baltai grew up with his wife since childhood, and he really couldn't imagine the scene of his wife also participating in the competition.

The rules require that both husbands insert that thing into each other's wife's insides... and then hold back the pleasure!

Under these cruel competition rules, older couples are definitely at a disadvantage!

However, "Rye Wizard" Baltai and his wife are already middle-aged, while "Sealer" Maxim and his wife are still young.

If they swapped wives and asked Baltai to forcibly deal with Maxim's wife's sucking, how could he be confident of winning...

As for whether his beloved wife would remain steadfast under Maxim's attack, or gradually fall... he didn't even dare to think about it!

If he had a choice, "Rye Wizard" Balte would love to be loyal to Pierre all his life.

But the tyranny and cruelty of the Lord of Wormwood Town has caused a huge backlash to his rule!

Baltai, who was full of fear, looked at Maxim's expression of "I don't want to play with your wife either", and gradually felt that he was really good to me!

But even if they betrayed one lord, the next lord might not necessarily accept them.

The new lord is not stupid. You came here just to sell out the old customers. Are you going to sell me out next?
