Blue Sword

Where the Bull Mercenary Regiment is stationed, the deputy commander, His Royal Highness Prince Ferdinand, sits in the center with a gloomy expression.

The other members of the royal family stayed nearby with trepidation, their faces turned pale, and they did not even dare to express their anger.

"Everyone, you are all cadres of our Bull Mercenary Group. Both experience and resume are far better than those of ordinary small mercenary groups." His Highness's words were brewing with huge anger, as if they were coming from a storm. "Who can Tell me, why can't you even deal with a small mercenary group?"

No one spoke.

Someone who can get into the middle-level cadres of a large mercenary group, of course, cannot be so stupid as to think that His Highness is really asking questions... He is just venting his anger.

Of course, the Cangqing Sword is indeed not a good thing.

When they first refused His Highness's solicitation, everyone laughed at it. Because His Highness has a vengeful temper, he will definitely retaliate against Cang Qing Sword. When the time comes, all he needs to do is see how these guys die.

After learning that the Blue Sword had taken refuge with the Grand Master and was sent to the Lusitania Forest to deliver a message, His Highness Ferdinand sent a messenger to the city-state of Seville, which was the only way for the Green Sword. , notified the undead demigod Black Knight stationed there.

Logically speaking, it should be a sure thing for an undead demigod to destroy a human mercenary group without demigods, right?

As a result, the Cangqing Sword arrived in Lusitania smoothly without any sign of being intercepted by the undead. His Highness Ferdinand could not help but curse these undead as parallel imports.

Here comes the question: If the undead are parallel imports, then what is the level of us humans who are blocked and beaten by these undead at the bottom of the plateau?

So everyone ignored this embarrassing problem and actively offered suggestions. Since the undead did not stop the other party, it would be okay to approach the conservative forces within the Lusitania half-elves, right?

The conservatives headed by Elder Diral and the royal family of Aragon, represented by Ferdinand, have maintained a tacit understanding for a long time.

Once the Elf Queen Maya plans to abandon the Aragon royal family and find more buyers for the Wizard's Stone mine, Elder Dillard will immediately incite the masses to cause trouble and exaggerate the distrust and hostility towards outside humans.

However, the families of these conservative congressmen were able to obtain the largest share of the profits from the mines that were secretly smuggled to the Aragonese royal family.

Because of the interests involved, according to usual practice, as long as the Aragon royal family secretly makes a request, the conservatives will definitely help and get rid of the small mercenary group of Cang Qing Sword.

Soon, however, the results from Lusitania were still shocking.

Not only was the conservative faction completely disintegrated with the exile of Elder Diral as a symbol, but also the Elf Queen Maya finally regained power as she wished. The first thing she did after centralizing power was to cut off the secret smuggling trade with the Aragonese royal family and turn The output of the Wizard's Stone was sold to the Weisbach family of HRE, the Olympia City of Cyris, and the Hauteville family of Sicily.

He was so angry that even the king of the Kingdom of Aragon and Castile, the father of Prince Ferdinand, wrote a letter to fiercely ask him if there was any conflict with the elves, and why was the trade channel suddenly cut off? Do you know how much revenue has been cut from the treasury this month?

Facing his father's question, how else could Ferdinand answer? At this time, he could only sit in the middle of the hall with a gloomy face, gather all his subordinates, brainstorm, and vent his anger.

The latter is the main purpose, but as for the former... The Sword of Cangqing is currently stuck in the station and cannot come out, so we can't go in with our swords, right? There is no way to plot against the other party!

"Your Highness!" At this time, another cadre rushed in from outside the door, "Cang Qing Sword...the leader of Cang Qing Sword has taken over the mission!"

"What mission!" His Highness Ferdinand immediately stood up in high spirits.

With the strength of the Blue Sword, and the importance that Grand Commander Deslar places on them, there is no doubt that they will be involved in some extremely difficult tasks, such as assassinating undead demigods, breaking through important fortresses, or cutting off the supply lines of the army. . Ferdinand can take the opportunity to add insult to injury, set a trap, and defeat the Cangqing Sword in one fell swoop.

"Yes..." The cadre rushed over at full speed as soon as he received the news. He was out of breath at this time, "He is heading to the Central Mountains to support the Plantagenet Mercenary Group!"

"Porse mercenary group?" Everyone looked at each other, "Is that the Britannia mercenary group wearing high hats and women's clothes?"

His Highness Ferdinand showed a thoughtful expression. After thinking for a moment, he hastily wrote a letter and handed it to the craftsman beside him.

——————————————

The Plantagenet Mercenary Group, from Britannia, is a semi-military and semi-feudal mercenary group exclusively funded by the Angevin royal family.

On the one hand, they have a highly militarized character; on the other hand, most of these people own royal territories directly on the island of Britannia. So in reality, these mercenaries can be regarded as military aristocrats...the lowest level.

The so-called territory directly under the royal family means that the land ownership still belongs to the royal family. After the necessary operating expenses are deducted from the annual income, the remaining profits belong to the mercenaries. Once a mercenary chooses to leave the Plantagenet Mercenary Group, the subsequent benefits will be immediately deprived by the royal family, thereby binding the mercenaries to the team.

At this time, the central mountain range where the Plantagenet Mercenary Group was stationed was the southern border of the Castilla region and the second front line in the battle against the undead. Since the central mountain range is much higher than the La Mancha Plateau, it has a condescending geographical advantage over the undead army, and the human camp's counterattack will mainly advance from here.

When Ask arrived at the fortress in the central mountains, he saw scattered battle lines fighting together on the plateau.

The undead side was dominated by groups of armored skeletons and ghouls as big as calves running around. The dense sea of ​​soldiers was intimidating.

On the human side... in the front row are the "Highland Swordsmen" wearing skirts and leather armor, with yellow and blue paint on their faces, wielding large swords to slash and dance like hurricanes; in the back row are the "Highland Swordsmen" wearing red hoodies and bearskin hats. The "lobster gun soldiers" held their rifles flat and fired.

Each time, a row of lobster gunners fired first, knocking the ghouls in the front row to the ground. Then the Highland swordsmen rushed up and slashed, and the lobster gunners took the opportunity to reload and pull the bolt. After a few seconds, the Highland Swordsmen turned around and retreated. The Lobster Gunners had already raised their guns and aimed again, firing again.

This kind of rifle requires pulling the bolt to reload a single shot. Both the warhead and the fire gate are specially designed. It has excellent armor-breaking ability against the undead, and the recoil is also huge. Therefore, the lobster gunmen are all short and stocky men about 1.6 meters tall. They have to use the shock-absorbing grip to press their shoulders to barely aim and fire.

The highland swordsmen, on the other hand, are muscular men with an average height of 1.8 meters. Although it is a bit strange to wear skirts collectively... According to some players, running back and forth at high speeds like this will easily tear the crotch of slightly tighter pants. Only skirts make it easier to stretch your legs.

Of course, women's clothing bosses always say that they don't like women's clothing, so this statement is also questionable.
