328, on the battle of thorns hill
The Countess of Steam looked at the slowly falling Thor in the sky with a puzzled look on her face, and couldn't help but bumped Zam beside her with her elbow:
"Zam, what are they doing?"
Zam shook his head and said nothing.
Lucas rubbed his chin and thought about what Sean was doing.
When Thor was about to land, Lucas suddenly clapped his palms.
"Snapped!"
The crisp applause immediately attracted the attention of all the people around.
Lucas jumped into the air, looked down at everyone below, and shouted:
"The enemy must be playing tricks on us and delaying time on purpose.
Now listen to my military orders: the large forces advance at full speed! And I promise: after occupying Hetan Town, there will be no restrictions. The food, finances, men, and women of the civilians in Hetan Town are all yours, and whoever takes them will belong to you!"
Lucas knew that Hetan Town had been attacked by jackals, and he subconsciously believed that the residents of Hetan Town had no money. Most of the money in the town, mainly the 50,000 gold coins, was concentrated in Sean's hands.
So he gave the soldiers such a promise to boost their morale.
Upon hearing Lucas' words, all the soldiers below turned red-eyed, showing extremely greedy looks.
Especially the 100 main battle mercenaries recruited by Brody Mill were extremely happy.
They have always relied on mercenary warfare to make money. In the past, they always made money from civilians even if their employers did not agree.
Now that restrictions have been relaxed, they will use their actual performance to tell others what a "professional team" of burning, killing and looting is.
...
Flying in mid-air, Lucas was worried that the promise just made Khadgar would be dissatisfied (because he promised to make Khadgar the lord of Riverbank Town), so he used his fighting spirit to send him a message.
The general idea of the message is: Hetan Town is not important. What is important is to obtain the title of viscount and become the son-in-law of the Hetan family, so that he does not have to worry about the lives of the people in the town.
After delivering the message, Lucas flew high into the air, transformed into a sharp green arrow, and shot towards the Thorn Ridge to the south.
Pamilton chuckled twice, the black mist rose around him, and he took off and followed Lucas.
Pamilton flew back while summoning the summons he had carefully prepared. Suddenly, countless pure black gargoyles that reflected light like ceramics filled his surroundings.
These gargoyles were specially prepared by Pamilton for Kate.
Gargoyles have high magic resistance, can fly, can emit rich death energy from their eyes, and can even conduct sonic attacks, making them particularly suitable for dealing with natural magicians like Kate.
The black gargoyles kept flying out from his sleeves one after another, and then turned into the size of giant dogs, emitting harsh sound waves from their mouths, blocking out the sky and the sun.
...
"coming!"
Kate naturally noticed the approach of the two "distinguished guests", jumped off Sean's shoulders, flew straight into the sky, and at the same time returned to her previous appearance of black clothes and black skirt.
"Come on, Kate!" Sean waved his fist to cheer Kate in the sky.
Kate smiled and looked into the distance, but when she saw the gargoyles surrounding the necromancer, her expression suddenly changed:
"We actually gathered such a large number of gargoyles! There are many necromancers hidden under the Dark Spirit Church!"
Kate took out her wand from the space ring and said to Sean below:
"Sean, the Necromancer is surrounded by gargoyles specially designed to deal with the elves, so I may not be able to defeat this battle one against two. You have to be mentally prepared in advance!"
"Don't worry!" Sean made an "OK" gesture to Kate, regardless of whether she could understand it or not: "If you can't hold on anymore, remember to say something."
Kate nodded and walked towards the Necromancer and Lucas.
...
Not long after, the three of them met in the sky between the two armies.
Before Kate could speak, Pamilton's ear-piercing laughter sounded like bone friction:
"Hey! Isn't this the eldest lady of the Shancha family? I once met your grandfather. We are of the same generation. How is your grandfather doing now?"
There was no trace of gunpowder in Pamilton's tone, as if he was just chatting.
But Kate heard that Pamilton was taking advantage of her.
So Kate snorted coldly, ignored Pamilton, and looked at Lucas, who was holding a sword and getting ready to attack:
"Lucas, have you forgotten the Papal Convention 200 years ago? Any family that dares to shield the shadow wizards and necromancers without authorization will be punished by the justice of the church!
The River family dares to collude with the necromancer, aren't they afraid of the wrath of the Pope?"
"Haha, the Papal Convention."
Lucas smiled disdainfully:
"Kate, do you still remember the "Strategic Alliance Treaty" signed between our two countries 300 years ago? As a member of the Kingdom of Anjou, you have blatantly interfered in our country's internal affairs. This has completely violated the rules of the treaty! What should you do?
How to say?"
"This..." Kate didn't know how to answer.
Now that the words had reached this level, Kate knew that "talking" was completely useless, so she began to chant magic spells silently, preparing to strike first.
Pamilton and Lucas also reacted immediately and attacked Kate the moment she began to recite the spell silently.
The sound of explosions of fighting magic colliding constantly came from the sky, and thick rattans tore the gargoyle's hard body. The two sides burst into full force as soon as they started fighting.
...
Sean only focused part of his energy on the battle between the three sky-level powerhouses, while his main focus was on the approaching Hemo coalition forces.
The Hemo Alliance Army is mainly composed of four parts.
The phalanx at the forefront was the 200 farmers that Brody recruited (forcibly) recruited (captured) in Water Pine Town.
These farmers have not received any training, and their weapons and equipment are extremely crude. Some even only have a hoe. They are just trying to catch a duck and are used as cannon fodder.
Their morale naturally dropped to the bottom, and they could only move forward under the driving force of the supervisory army;
The phalanx behind the "cannon fodder troops" consists of 110 soldiers from Shuisong Town. They have received systematic training, are equipped with complete equipment, and have a certain degree of combat effectiveness.
It's just that the "cannon fodder troops" at the front are all their fellow villagers, and some are even relatives, so their morale is also very low.
Sean's evaluation is "cannon fodder second team";
Behind the regular army in Shuisong Town are 100 mercenaries. They are the most energetic and want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune;
Walking at the rear were the elite troops from Yohn City brought by Lucas, 50 of whom belonged to the Guards, and the other 50 who belonged to Countess Steam's private army.
These 100 people are not only well-equipped and well-trained, but most of the soldiers in the army are warriors above the Black Iron level, and some of the officers are Bronze-level practitioners.
