Chapter 59: Remnant Soldiers (Part 1)

"Call the soldiers!" Murphy was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said in a deep voice to the general guard attendant behind him.

The low trumpet sounded and spread rapidly throughout the town.

The Greek infantry patrolled in the barracks and near the port gathered together quickly after hearing the sound of the horns, and formed a formation under the command of the captain and the flag bearer, and gathered towards the neighborhood of the town gate.

In order to deal with emergencies, there is a set of exclusive methods of communicating in the territory.

The lower commander of the Greek infantry is the captain and the flag bearer. Generally, the captain dies in battle and the flag bearer takes over, and the flag bearer dies in battle and the captain holds the flag.

The soldiers lined up a neatly phalanx and gathered at the gate of the town, deducting the two fully organized Greek infantry teams that General Leodale escorted Prife to the centaur clan trade, and a team of Greek infantry taken away by Mrs. Elizabeth that day. At present, there are five fully organized Greek infantry phalanx groups in the territory, as well as Murphy's general guards and 11-man Spartan heavy-armed fervent soldiers, totaling about 450 people.

The construction of the wooden wall is almost completed.

Including the Cretan archers who could be recruited soon, Murphy was not worried about not being able to defend his territory.

After the army was assembled, Murphy ordered the general guards to go out to investigate the enemy situation.

But at this time, a fast horse rushed over from afar.

"Governor General, Lady Elizabeth is back." The horse was the attendant of the Marquis Elizabeth, the middle-aged knight, with blood stains on his body, seemed to be injured.

When he rode his horse to Murphy, the middle-aged knight turned over and said hurriedly: "Mrs. I have summoned the broken soldiers and are now rushing back. There are nerds pursuing soldiers behind, with a number of about three thousand."

Disintegrated soldiers?

Murphy was stunned when he heard this! Then he immediately reacted.

Have you contacted the soldiers who had dispersed? Because they were reorganized, Marquis Elizabeth rushed to pick him up?

Murphy immediately understood the whole story.

When the Marquis Elizabeth's territory was captured by the wereggars. Because it retreated too quickly, a large number of soldiers should have escaped. These scattered soldiers were later integrated and finally contacted Mrs. Elizabeth who was rescued by Murphy. The territory was captured, and not only did Mrs. Elizabeth lose everything, but the soldiers and knights also lost their land, and they would have nothing!

These scattered soldiers should have been gathered by the reacting knight class and gathered together.

Defeated like a mountain!

After the initial collapse, the knights who reacted began to use their military talents, began to reorganize the remaining soldiers, and search for the nominal commander-Marquis Elizabeth!

No one was willing to have nothing, and the knights reorganized their troops in the rear, ready to find an opportunity to regain their territory.

"The fifth formation stays. Everyone else follows me!" Murphy did not hesitate when he heard this, and left the Greek infantry of the fifth formation in the town, and immediately decided to take the other soldiers to rescue the Marquis of Elizabeth.

Murphy was like a horse whip, so he was ready to set off.

But at this time a group of people rushed to him.

"Great Lord, please let us go together." Utols, the strong leader of the Psyia, came to Murphy. The strong warrior recovered his combat power in just one day under the powerful healing effect of the holy water. He savagely pulled off the bandage on his back and brought the remaining forty soldiers with combat power to Murphy.

The language of the Psycheans is not the same as that of the common language of human city-states. Their language is slightly different in syllable pronunciation, similar to local dialects with a little bit of past lives.

Bring them with you?

Murphy looked at the Psiah mercenaries gathered in front of him and volunteered, and hesitated a little.

"Your injuries?" Murphy asked.

Utols looked around, then came to a stone as big as a millstone, hugged his hands and roared: "Get up!"

Then, he picked up the stone, weighing two or three hundred kilograms.

Putting the stone down, Utols looked at Murphy, lowered his head slightly and said, "You are a Psychean friend."

Although the Psyia people have strong combat power, their status in the human city-state is not high. In the southern plains, the population of barbarians is only more than 100,000, accounting for only one-twentieth of the total population. They live in jungle areas on the edge of the southern plains and are called "barbarians" by other humans in the city-state. This is a very common phenomenon, just as people in cities generally looked down on rural people in their previous lives.

In the noble parliament, there is no barbarian seat yet.

Most often, they serve as mercenaries or cannon fodder for human city-states.

Utols symbolizes ferocity and cruelty in barbarian language, but this does not mean that he is a reckless warrior. This can be seen from the time he can find the right time to counterattack and fight for Murphy to charge behind the back.

In fact, what he is doing now is not so much to repay kindness, but rather to make friends with Murphy.

Because of the effect of the holy water, he suspected that there was a god standing behind Murphy! And it was a human god! Because in the human city-state, the alien gods who believe in generally do not shine on human believers. There are so few things that humans can obtain from the alien gods! Utols believes that these Greeks from the other side of the sea should have their own gods!

A true god!

If it is true, then the Lord Lord is worthy of his deliberate intercourse.

"Set off!"

Murphy nodded and said nothing more. The general guards rode out first, while the Greek infantry quickly followed.

In my mind, I evoked the auxiliary system of Total War. Sure enough, on the map that had been explored about thirty miles away from the town, an unknown army icon was advancing, and about five miles behind them, a group of zombies were hanging tightly, with an unknown number.

The Greek infantry stretched out the troops and moved forward quickly, while the cavalry scattered and advanced.

Although Murphy has a strategic map of the Total War auxiliary system, this is not known to the soldiers.

After the army was launched, the cavalry consciously took on the role of reconnaissance.

A knight riding a fast horse was sent by Murphy to inform Mrs. Elizabeth of his arrival.

The group marched for about ten miles and stopped on a high slope east of the territory. The terrain here is nice, with a mound on the side and a small river about five meters wide on the other side.

"The whole army is in formation!" Murphy stood in front of the formation and issued an order in a deep voice.

The Greek infantry dispersed their formations, stretched the line under the command of the commander, raised their spears high, and laid a line of defense about 150 meters long.

A marching force is very consuming for soldiers.

As a commander who has experienced several wars, Murphy would not make such a low-level mistake.

When Mrs. Elizabeth was about five miles away, Murphy ordered the soldiers to stop and set up a defense line. After Mrs. Elizabeth arrived until the gnolls followed, there was more than ten minutes, which was enough for the soldiers to rest and recover their strength.

If I had been marching up to rescue Mrs. Elizabeth, the final result would be to be as dispersed as they did.

Because the trot that lasted fifteen miles long had consumed a lot of the soldiers' physical strength.

In the age of cold weapons, this is already a fatal mistake!

About ten minutes later, an army came out from afar. The cavalry ran in the front, with a large number of them rolling up dust in the sky.

Murphy stood on the high slope and looked away, and found that the scattered soldiers were not so embarrassed, and the formation was not completely chaotic. This made Murphy breathe a long sigh and felt a little relieved. The thing he feared most was that the remaining soldiers brought back by Mrs. Elizabeth had been scared and only knew that she would escape. If that were the case, Murphy would have to disperse the formation and let them pass first.

This is definitely not a good thing!

But it seems that these people have a little combat power.
Chapter completed!
