Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 153 War begins

"Sir, this group of wilderness coalition forces has a total of about 25,000 to 30,000 people, of which only less than 10,000 are capable of fighting. The rest are all vassal dependents such as goblins and kobolds, serving as auxiliary troops."

"I saw them in their camp. I also saw pigmen, harpies, and bugbears."

In the conference hall, the mustached officer reported the intelligence he had gathered from his scout team.

The lord discovered that one of his hands had been wrapped in a cloth, and the blood that had seeped into the cloth had dried and coagulated.

Obviously, this information is not so easy to find out.

Although Levi was not clear about the specific casualties of this group of cavalry, even the chief officer was injured. Not to mention the heavy casualties, it was definitely a certain price paid.

"They set up a number of animal hide tents on a low slope, with no defensive fortifications outside."

"Centaurs, pig-headed men, bugbears, harpies, what a great gathering of heroes."

The lord was secretly shocked.

There are countless races in the wilderness, and these races can all be called strong fighting races, but I didn’t expect that they would gather together now.

Among them, the bear goblins are cousins ​​of the goblins. Compared to the goblins whose average strength is only one blade and four or five blades, this group of bear goblins generally have around two blades, so their strength is naturally stronger.

But that was all that mattered to Levi. What he really cared about were the Minotaurs and the Centaurs.

"The real main force is less than 10,000..." Florina tapped the table and pondered for a moment, "and there are no fortifications..."

In fact, she didn't expect a group of wilderness natives to build fortifications, although where there were bugbears there must be distant relatives like hobgoblins who were born with military talent to lead them.

But for such a large team, these hobgoblins have done their best to prevent it from disintegrating and keep it together and march forward.

Then there would be enough energy to command the entire army to build fortifications.

"It's not easy for a group of wilderness natives to get here. We can't ask too much of them in terms of ambush or fortifications." Fujiro touched the ring with an emerald on his finger and made a pertinent comment. Although he was the commander of the 8,000-man Legion of Thorns, it was not his turn to decide whether to fight or not.

If someone else were to parachute in and give him orders, he would definitely have some doubts in his mind.

But Duke Florina was an all-rounder who excelled in both fighting and military affairs. He could not compare with her in any one of them.

Naturally, they would accept the leadership with a willing heart and would not say too much.

"Let the vanguard lead the way, and Fujiro, you will lead the five teams as the main attack."

After just a moment's hesitation, Florina made a decision and issued one order after another.

"Levi, you and Sikai will serve as support. It's up to you to decide when to attack."

Levi nodded slowly.

Originally, he was under a lot of pressure as he was playing a supporting role, but it was very smart of him to make the decision on his own.

This means that if Fujiro, as the main force, encounters an extremely difficult situation, he does not need to attack. Just one inappropriate remark is enough to deal with the subsequent criticisms of this group of officers.

For Florina, although this wilderness coalition was much stronger than expected, it was actually just that.

The reason why the makeshift team is called a makeshift team is because their discipline and equipment are extremely poor.

Perhaps his personal strength far exceeds that of her soldiers, but you have to know that no matter how strong an individual is, he can't last long in a group battle.

After the meeting, Levi hurried back to the camp of Gaoya Castle, opened the tent and walked in.

"How is my brother-in-law?" Mir put down the half-sword in his hand. As the lord's royal tent, it was very spacious inside, fully enough to support Mir to practice swordsmanship inside.

"The war has begun. Go tell the soldiers to prepare to move."

Levi walked over and kicked Zat on the butt while he was sleeping, "Still sleeping, go put on armor for me!"

Zat, who was still confused, suddenly came to his senses, got up from the ground, and shouted outside, "Where are my auxiliary soldiers? Come over and put on my armor!"

It is really a situation where the big fish eat the small fish and the small fish eat the shrimp.

The lord of Gaoyabao is one level higher in rank and he is very powerful. As the commander of the legion, he is naturally one level higher than this group of auxiliary soldiers.

Several goat people were rubbing their hands and warming the fire, which contained some sweet potatoes that were about to be cooked. When they heard Zat's loud voice, they ran into the tent without caring about their lives.

"Master Zat, we will put armor on you right away."

The three goat men laboriously carried the parts of the armor and climbed up the ladder chair to put the armor on Zat, who had two blades and eight feet.

With the help of several rabbit auxiliary soldiers, Levi was gradually putting on three layers of heavy armor.

This is why, although there are only 300 official warriors in Gaoya Castle, the total number of people can reach more than 700.

This group of auxiliary soldiers not only helped dig trenches, set up tents and build fortifications, but their main purpose was to help the soldiers put on armor.

After all, these armors are made up of one part at a time. Although one can wear them successfully by oneself, it is extremely time-consuming and laborious, and the cost outweighs the benefits.

Recently, Mil has been researching one-piece armor. People only need to stand on it, and the armor will be automatically put on through the transmission between gears.

However, it is still in its early stages and many problems have not been solved.

But even so, the lord was still very excited.

If the armor-piercing problem is solved, the logistics personnel will be reduced by more than 30%, and the entire team will be more convenient and will not appear to be too cumbersome.

Sam shivered, but he put on his leather armor and a felt hat and put the stone egg into the shoulder bag in front of him.

He had been praying for the war to not break out these days, but he didn't expect it to come today.

"Brother-in-law, let's go!"

Mir changed into a very flashy set of bright silver plate armor, holding a helmet in his arms and a long sword hanging on his waist.

Combined with his nearly double-edged physique, his appearance alone is enough to make him join the Order of the Rose, which is made up of rabbits.

The lord was extremely envious of the plate armor that Mil had designed and made for him, but on the surface he thought it was too flashy and its defensive power was far inferior to that of his black iron can.

Most of the cooks and auxiliary soldiers were left in the camp. With a few auxiliary soldiers, the warriors, all wearing black armor, and carrying the flag of Gaoya Fort, marched towards the designated location in a mighty manner.

Halfway through the journey, Sikai also joined Levi's team with his knights.

He took the initiative to undertake the task of scout.

About 3,000 men from the Legion of Thorns, plus 300 men from High Cliff Castle, began to deploy battle formations as they advanced.

Finally, they stopped five miles away from the Wilderness Alliance camp. This location ensured that they would not be threatened by any long-range weapons or spells of the Wilderness Shamans.

Levi stands at...
