Chapter 697: The Army Gathers

"The enemy has more than 10,000 troops, but the exact number is unknown." Hei Yu reported.

"Finally they are here. I cannot praise the Earl's mobilization ability."

Field was so angry that he had not slept for several nights to meet the attack of Earl Svaro. Who would have thought that this guy had not finished mobilizing for a whole winter, and it was dragged on until now.

What's worse is that the Earl who came from afar can bring very little benefit to me, and I have to be on guard against him.

"According to the plan I made, assemble the troops immediately."

"Hurry up and get rid of him. We still have important strategic plans."

"Yes." Hei Yu was very excited.

The night army assembled very quickly. The artillery had been trained for a month, but it was still not good enough. Field decided to let actual combat hone them.

Putting down the teacup, Field put on a full set of fighting armor, summoned Hei Yu, Rosaria, Little Sun, and the mermaid Aikalixia, and came to the military camp outside the city.

Ashina has assembled the army and is waiting here.

"Report to the Lord, the Snow Lion Knights, five teams of 600 people, have all assembled!" The head of the regiment, Hall, reported loudly.

"The first and second teams of the cavalry artillery have assembled."

Due to limited production capacity, the artillery only armed two teams.

"Very good."

Field rode a fast horse and quickly swept through the army.

"My Lord, shall we set off now?" Asina couldn't bear it, and stabbed two gun flowers in vain.

"Wait for my infantry, they will be here soon."

"Ah?"

Asina was confused: "Where did the infantry come from? Aren't the other troops in the territory defending the city?"

"Boom, boom~"

A silver-shining heavy armored infantry slowly came from a distance, and every step on the ground would stir up a large cloud of dust. Black iron masks, silver breastplates, and tattered black robes on the outside, as if they were elite warriors who had returned from hell.

Even more terrifying was their weapons, all of which were horse-slashing swords. This was a melee equipment designed by Field based on the styles of the greatsword and the Mo Dao.

The former corrupted demons were too weak to scratch people with their claws. The horse-slashing sword was still powerful, and its length alone reached three meters.

The little fox came with them.

"Sir, the first-generation plate armor and horse-slashing sword used for the territory experiment have all been equipped." The little fox ran to report, "For other joints, our production capacity is limited, so we modified the former armor and made it into armrests, leg armor and helmets."

Since the hydraulic forging hammer was built, the plate armor has been studied and forged.

As soon as the corrupted army approached, the territory's fighting knights were shocked.

Each of these infantrymen is more than two meters and fifty, emitting strong life fluctuations.

"Isn't this a corrupt demon?" Asina was shocked. "But if we take the corrupt demon out now, it will probably attract a siege."

"I also remember that someone said that there is no need to corrupt the army." Little Sun raised his eyebrows, "and gave an inspiring speech."

"Qualified nobles are like this, very bad, and I was just saying polite words at that time." Rosaria laughed so hard that her body shook.

"This is a human army, the Night Guards."

Field said seriously: "How can you tell that this is a corrupt army? Except that it is a little taller."

Except that it looks dark and evil, there is really nothing wrong with it. However, the perception scan of the Chosen One can still find it.

"There are only a thousand corrupt soldiers. Even if they are discovered, they are summoned by magicians."

Field was embarrassed, puffed up his chest, and waved his hand righteously: "Besides, I said that there is no need to corrupt the army, just wanton pollution."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's go!"

On the other side, after days of marching,

Swarro arrived at Simon's Maple Leaf Territory. In the front was Swarro's most elite "Grey Eagle" Knights, a full two hundred fighting knights, and their knight companions, a full seven or eight hundred.

Almost all the knights in the territory were summoned, and each knight was dressed differently.

The only thing that was unified was the decorations on their bodies, ribbons, pheasant feathers and emblems, which were extremely gorgeous, and they were all symbols of bravery.

Behind the knights were three thousand mercenaries, who were cruel and aggressive.

In the eyes of modern people, mercenaries are just a ragtag army, but in this era, mercenaries are extremely professional, even more professional than most baron guards. The only shortcoming is that they don't obey orders very well.

Swarro's direct army of three thousand, with a variety of weapons and equipment, and they are all smiling and frivolous. They are just robbed.

As for the serfs, the free people of the sign, and the army cooks, "junkun", they are all in charge of logistics, and they are whipped by the supervision team from time to time.

No one even counted them as soldiers, and Hei Yu only reported the scale of tens of thousands.

Swarro himself rode on the handsome magical beast Hippogriff, with his head held high.

"I swear to the goddess, there are not many nobles in the empire who can pull out an army of 10,000 people." The Queen's minister Guy flattered her at the right time, "Look at those running peasants, haha, they are afraid that we will eat them."

Although a small part of the army is composed of mercenaries rented for money.

But with such a configuration, dealing with a small baron is like a lion hunting a sheep, Guy believes.

"Of course, not many people can withstand the power of thunder."

Swarro folded his hands in front of his chest: "I can't wait to enjoy Field kneeling in front of me, crying and begging for my forgiveness."

The two chatted with great interest, and a messenger came to report that Baron Simon and the advisor of Earl Pig had come.

"Oh? Pass the order, the whole army rests."

Soon, Swarro set up a huge silk tent.

In the tent, Swarro's two fourth-level God's Chosen: Donovan, Esther, and two God's Chosen lieutenants stood still with indifferent expressions.

Simon strode into the tent and saluted Swarro: "Respected and mighty Lord Earl, greetings to you."

The messenger of Earl Pig on the side was even more humble.

"What do you want from Earl Pig?" Swarro glanced at the messenger and asked with a fake smile.

He has coveted Earl Pig's territory for a long time. That waste is not worthy of rich land. Now that the empire is in chaos, Swarro decided to capture Earl Pig's land after defeating Field.

This is also one of the reasons why he went to war, using the Bull Territory as a springboard to take down Earl Pig with thunder.

As for Field, he could be solved with a casual blow.

"Our earl has sent a third-level chosen one and two thousand soldiers to support us."

"Puff~" Swarro almost laughed out loud, but his noble upbringing made him immediately frown and thank him in an awkward voice, "May the glory of the goddess of war bathe in him."

Simon didn't understand.

But his chosen one, Furlon, chuckled and said, "It seems that we have to congratulate the earl in advance for his success. We are also here to help you under the order of Earl Lauren."
