Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

As mentioned before, because the mainland is vast and sparsely populated, there is basically only one road connecting cities, towns, and villages. If it is a small team, it can take a shortcut through the mountains. An army with a supply carriage can Just follow the road.

One day later, the team arrived at the village of Vannes. Knight Eric, who was responsible for reconnaissance of the enemy, brought bad news. The army of Baron Lorient had occupied the village of Roque-Aman and collected a batch of food and grass from there.

It seems that Baron Lorient's plan to deliver the declaration of war in the morning was successful.

Christine was able to send Knight Eric to scout the enemy's situation, and Baron Lorient also sent scouts, who immediately sent back the news of the arrival of Baron Stewart's large group of troops.

For Baron Lorient, what he fears most is that Christine will hide in the castle because of fear. Even if all the land of Baron Stewart is occupied, it will be impossible to capture the castle with the existing soldiers.

A siege was impossible. There were wells in the noble castle and enough food and firewood to last at least a year. How could the Baron of Lorient let hundreds of militiamen just eat and drink for a year without working? Moreover, the attack distance of a knight standing on the city wall and shooting arrows from a high position is farther than the casting distance of a fifth-level mage. This is why nobles in mainland China where there are divine arts and magic are still working tirelessly to build castles.

But now his opponent actually came out to fight with him in the field. The overjoyed Baron of Lorient immediately sent someone to send a letter of challenge and asked Christine to fight on a grass field at ten o'clock tomorrow.

People in this world are relatively straight-minded, saying that the decisive battle must be a face-to-face fight between the two sides, and there will be no conspiracy or conspiracy, so Kristen agreed without hesitation.

How could she lead her soldiers into battle if she wasn't sure of winning.

.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the armies of both sides lined up on the grassland two to three hundred meters apart. If you ignore the fact that the total number of soldiers on both sides is less than a thousand, it is awe-inspiring to see the flags fluttering, the armor in order, and the swords and guns shining. Fierce and murderous.

According to aristocratic rules, the leaders of both sides had to meet and talk before the war began. Baron Lorient brought his son Oliver to the front of the battle, and Christine was accompanied by Eric Knight.

"Good day, Baron Lorient." Although both of them are barons, Christine is younger and naturally has to greet first, and Knight Eric also needs to salute first.

"Good morning, Miss Stewart." Baron Lorient returned the greeting.

"Good day, Miss Stewart, Eric Knight." Oliver's identity was a bit inferior, so he had to greet him first.

"Good morning, Mr. Oliver." Christine returned the greeting.

That's how nobles are, even if they want to tear the other person's whole family into pieces, they still have to say friendly greetings with a smile on their face.

People in this world speak very straightforwardly without any twists and turns, so Baron Lorient said directly: "Miss Stewart, my eldest son Oliver likes you very much. If our two families can get married, I believe the family will be stronger."

Although the two sides have already started a war, it would be better if they could reasonably annex the other side's territory without spending a single soldier, so they took advantage of the moment when the army was pressing down on the border to make the request.

The aristocratic marriages on this continent are basically political marriages, as long as the purpose can be achieved. Moreover, many aristocratic couples have lovers outside each other after marriage, so Baron Lorient said this.

"Baron Lorient, please don't say this again. It will make my ears dirty if I hear it." Kristen retorted without hesitation, but her voice was melodious and melodious. Even so, her words made others angry. I hope to hear more.

"Miss Stewart, once the war starts, it will be too late to regret it, so I hope you can think about it carefully." Baron Lorient continued to persuade.

Christine smiled and said loudly: "Baron Lorient, once the war starts, there will definitely be casualties on both sides. How about the two of us decide the outcome in a duel?"

"I don't have time to play with you."

Baron Lorient is confident that his side will win, so he will not take any risks, even if he is a fifth-level mage and the opponent is a first-level mage.

However, Christine's goal has been achieved. Her words made the soldiers on both sides feel more grateful in their hearts. After all, there are bound to be casualties in a war, and no one wants it to fall on them.

There was no need to say anything more. The two sides turned around and returned to their own formations to prepare for war.

On the Stewart Baron's side, there were shield-bearing soldiers in front and lance-holding soldiers in three rows at the back. Standing soldiers were scattered among them as the backbone, followed by thirty archers.

Knight Liam was in charge of the command, and Knight Eric and Knight Abel led a dozen attendants and cavalry on horseback and spears on the left side of the battle formation.

The formation on Baron Lorient's side was basically the same, except that there were a dozen less archers and more than thirty spear militiamen. There are also nearly twenty fewer standing soldiers, but one extra knight can completely make up for this gap.

As the trombone sounded, the military formations on both sides began to move forward slowly. The knights and their attendants from both sides faced off, and no one dared to move first when they were evenly matched.

When they were about a hundred meters apart, both sides stopped in unison.

The purpose of Barony Stewart is to take advantage of the archers, and thirty archers have already started shooting arrows.

A dozen archers from the Baron of Lorient also drew their bows and started shooting at each other. Of course, this was not the point. Baron Lorient had dismounted at this moment, blessed himself with two protective spells, "Mage Armor" and "Protective Arrows", and then stood behind the soldiers under the protection of the shield-wielding guards and began to cast spells and chant.

The third-level "Fireball Technique" can kill forty or fifty people on the opponent's side with one shot. At that time, the extra knight will take advantage of the opponent's chaos and lead the soldiers to charge and the battle will be over.

Only by awakening fighting spirit can a warrior be promoted to the fifth level, and only by being loyal to a noble can he be named a knight and gain the fief of a village.

The fighting spirit here has no attributes. The fifth to ninth levels are mainly used to enhance the knight's physical strength, strength, speed, and healing ability. Only the tenth level can use "Fighting Qi Slash" externally.

A fifth-level knight can fight for more than an hour wearing full-body armor weighing one hundred kilograms and holding weapons weighing more than twenty kilograms. It is no exaggeration to say that he can kill forty or fifty regular soldiers or nearly a hundred militiamen by himself. If paired with a beast-blood war horse with horse armor, it is possible to kill two to three hundred soldiers using guerrilla warfare.

The armor of high-level knights is heavier and has higher defensive power. This is why nobles generally do not have many standing soldiers. If something happens, one knight can be dispatched faster than a hundred soldiers, so some militiamen maintain order and guard against wild beasts. Will suffice.

It is precisely because of this that Baron Lorient firmly believes that after the "fireball technique" creates destruction and chaos, a knight leading the team is enough to defeat the opponent.

But he missed Christine.

Pictures of knights found online, but the knights in this book have thicker armor and higher defense.
