"Father..." Maggie, riding a unicorn, looked at Mr. Brighton beside her, and her tone was a little hesitant.

"Just say anything!" Mr. Brighton raised his hand and a slight wind element barrier wrapped the two in.

This barrier is very gentle and does not have any protective effect at all, but it has an important function, that is, sound insulation!

Maggie said intermittently, “I always feel that this attack on the Silver Ridge Empire is an unjust act…”

Grand Duke Brighton raised his lips slightly: "How can I see it?"

Maggie replied: "Although we signed an alliance agreement with the Northon Empire, the dispute between the Silver Ridge Empire and Northon has nothing to do with us. Now that we are relying on the alliance agreement, are there any suspicion of taking advantage of the situation to rob the enemy?"

"Train the fire?" Mr. Brighton laughed: "Your description is very accurate. But so what? The country is different from the individual, and it cannot be measured and restrained by secular morality."

"Can the country be unethical?" Maggie's tone was a little excited, but the next moment she realized that she had a little distorted and couldn't help but shut her mouth.

"Of course I have to say it!" Brighton smiled and said, "But the morality of the country is not the kindness, justice, courage, honesty we are familiar with...but the interests! For example, the decision to attack the Silver Ridge Empire this time can allow our Lion Heart Empire to gain huge benefits and make our tens of millions of people live better. This is the morality of the country!"

Maggie widened her eyes when she heard this, then gritted her teeth and said, "Father, I can't accept such morality!"

"You are still young..." Mr. Brighton didn't force it: "There will always be a day to figure it out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Duke Brighton's eyes suddenly became sharp. Then with a wave of his hand, a storm shield flew up, blocking an arrow shot from the air!

"The enemy attacked!" The Lionheart army immediately became alert, and then arrows continued to fly out from the mountains and forests on both sides of the road, and more than a dozen soldiers were knocked down in an instant!

Mr. Brighton immediately recited a spell, and two storm barriers stood on both sides of the road to block the arrows shot. However, those crossbow arrows were extremely penetrating, and some of them could break through the barrier!

"It's the silver-leader crossbowman!" The nobles in the team immediately reacted and ordered the soldiers to set up shields to defend.

Silver Ridge Crossbowman is known as Northon's golden-shirt long bowman, the strongest long-range force in West Carlo State! Because it is located at the northernmost end of the mainland, these two places produce tall trees and have excellent materials for making crossbows. In addition, the mountainous forests in the north are not suitable for heavy cavalry and infantry combat, crossbowmen have become the main force in combat!

Faced with the sudden attack, the knights of the Lion Heart Empire were beaten in a hurry. Their war horses could not rush up the hillside covered with dense forests, so they could only dismount, draw out their swords, raise their shields, and rush into the forest in the rain of arrows.

"Don't act rashly!" Mr. Brighton shouted: "I'm afraid there will be an ambush!"

But the heavy knights couldn't listen at all. I had heard that the main battlefield of the Silver Ridge Empire was on the Northson in the east, and the main forces of the army were also fighting in the east. After entering the territory of the Silver Ridge Empire, they did not encounter any decent resistance along the way, so they were inevitably a little arrogant.

How powerful can a group of semi-militia with simple equipment and loose organization have? In other words, the bows and crossbows are more powerful. As long as we strong heavy armored warriors are close to each other, killing them is not like cutting melons and vegetables!

However, when the heavy-armed knights rushed into the forest, what was waiting for them was not the archers who were light and soft and easily pushed down, but various traps that had been buried long ago!

The sharpened thick logs were hung with ropes, and as gravity flew over, one blow was enough to knock a warrior with a second-level battle voyage, and he collided with his armor.

The rope covers laid among the weeds were tightened and bounced up as they stepped in, hanging the warriors in the air and unable to move.

There are also pits hidden among the fallen leaves, each of which is four or five meters deep, with sharpened wood cones standing upside down. Once they fall, they will be half-dead even if they don’t die.

While the knights of the Lion Heart Empire were torn by various unpreventable traps, the crossbow arrows in the depths of the forest were still firing. Under the double attacks of the traps and crossbow arrows, the soldiers of the Lion Heart Empire who rushed into the forest kept falling down...

"You can't go on like this anymore..." A tall noble lord held a sword and fired a crossbow arrow shot in one sword grid, chanting: "Elitees of the second-level combat rank, follow me to charge!"

Under his call, a large number of masters who survived the traps and arrows gathered around him, and relied on his strong physique and excellent armor to form a formation and rushed into the depths of the dense forest!

"It's right there!" The noble knight in the lead saw several figures in the distance, pointed his sword and led everyone to rush over!

The shooters in the dense forest raised heavy crossbows and pulled the trigger for a volley. However, the shot crossbow arrow was blocked by the leading nobleman swung his sword. With this reaction alone, I was afraid that it was at least level four!

Unexpectedly, facing the fierce elite team, the crossbow archers did not escape, but calmly threw away the heavy crossbow in their hands, and were waiting for the nobles to charge!

And the same story is being staged on both sides of the narrow and long queue of the Lion Heart Empire, and in the dense forests on the hillside!

After a brief chaos, the Grand Duke of Storm finally stabilized his army, and the cold arrows from the dense forest gradually stopped. It seemed that the attackers had left.

After counting, the aristocratic coalition of the Lion Heart Empire lost more than 2,000 people in this sneak attack, which seemed insignificant to the team with a total number of more than 100,000, but it deeply hit the morale of the Lion Heart Emperor!

Because until the end of the battle, they did not kill even an enemy!

That's right, let alone killing or captives, it's rare to see those attackers face to face! Most of the soldiers who died died in traps and cold arrows. They couldn't even confirm whether they were the regular troops of the Silver Ridge Empire or the bandits and robbers...

"It must be a regular army!" A bearded nobleman said angrily: "The robber cannot have such strong organizational power! This sneak attack is obviously a long-planned one, specifically targeting us!"

"But it is a regular army, this style of play is a bit too much..." Another young noble opposed it: "If it is a regular army, even if the number of people is only one-third of us, as long as we launch a charge at that time and use a siege, it can still cause us a heavy blow... But they only use traps and crossbow arrows and leave with one blow, which means that their military strength is far inferior to us... This is not like the style of play of a regular army..."

Faced with different opinions, Grand Duke Storm fell into deep thought. At this time, a different voice came into his ears:
