Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 155 A surprise attack from heaven
This winter is unusually cold, which is the consensus of everyone in the north.

Even the south was affected, and the first cold wind came much earlier than in previous years.

In previous years, people in the south still wore short shirts, but now they have put on coats.

Countless goose feather snowflakes floated down from the dark clouds in the sky, occasionally rising in waves with the cold wind, making it look like a dream and incredibly beautiful.

But these beautiful snowflakes will eventually fall to the ground and form accumulated snow. Accumulated snow is not beautiful. It will make the world desolate and all things wither.

In this snowstorm, countless heads rolled across the plain, and shouts of killing shook the sky.

The boiling hot blood spilled onto the ground, melting the snow and revealing the red grass nests with bent spines, adding a touch of brightness to the grass.

As the Pig-Headed Armored Army joined the battlefield, the indestructible spear and shield line was torn open, and the two sides were actually deadlocked for a while, unable to resolve the situation.

The Centaurs were fighting with the Thorn Legion on its flank, with both sides winning and losing.

Everyone's attention on both sides was drawn to these two people, and no one noticed that a dark cloud in the sky was approaching the main battlefield.

Wherever this dark cloud passes, there will be a brief pause in the snowflakes in that area.

Originally, the lord was watching Fujiro's deployment of troops with great interest. The offensive of the Wilderness Alliance seemed fierce, but the Legion of Thorns was like a reef standing in the sea, indestructible despite the waves.

If this continues, defeat will be the only outcome for these wilderness natives.

But accidents often come so strangely and suddenly.

The dark cloud stopped moving after it paused above the archer positions of the descendants of the Legion of Thorns, and the next moment countless harpies flapped their wings and flew out from it.

This scene scared everyone. Even Fujiero, who was originally in charge of the overall plan, frowned and looked unsightly.

The individual combat power of the harpy is not very high, and it is only because they can fly that they are difficult to deal with.

The key point is that this group of harpies actually hung dozens of well-equipped Minotaurs with ropes.

These strong men were all elite warriors, with heights of three blades or more, and they were wearing iron armor with only their eyes exposed.

Although their number is small, once they fall into the position of archers who are only wearing leather armor, they can definitely cause a devastating blow.

The archers apparently also noticed this uninvited guest and turned around and shot into the sky. Unfortunately, it was of no use against the Minotaur who was wearing heavy armor.

The harpies also held up their shields in one hand and hid their entire bodies behind them.

The tactic of delivering the Minotaur was easily completed on a hillside not far from the archers.

"Damn, I really saw a ghost." Levi slammed the telescope in Mil's hand, grabbed his hair, and turned around in place.

"These wilderness natives are really a waste of time. They are so smart that they are willing to use the trick of sending down surprise troops for your lordship." The lord's tone was full of anger and admiration.

Using harpies to transport combat units may seem simple, but it actually requires the right time, place, and people to do it.

If the sky was cloudless, the sudden appearance of a dark cloud at this time would definitely attract attention, but now it is so cloudy and covered with snow.

You also need a shaman who knows this kind of spell.

Plus, not many people would look up at the sky in such a fierce battle, so they were able to complete it.

Could a bunch of wilderness idiots come up with this tactic? The Lord was inexplicably shocked.

It was like seeing a monkey giving him the middle finger, and all he could think of was "Fuck". To be honest, Gaoyabao was just here to fish and play.

But all this is based on the premise that the Legion of Thorns wins.

If the Legion of Thorns was defeated, Highcliff Castle would have to face the entire Wilderness Alliance, which was obviously unacceptable to Levi.

"Our legion commander is obviously confused now." The lord put on his helmet and said in a loud voice for everyone to hear: "Skye, come with me to deal with these Minotaurs."

With the addition of this surprise force, the rear area, which was already weak in defense, is now in chaos.

Those archers gave up heavy equipment for the sake of flexibility, so they put on a layer of leather armor over their cotton coats, which might be enough to be used as arrows or swords.

Unfortunately, these were a group of strong Minotaurs who could kill a tiger with one punch, and they only smashed a large area with a single swing of their giant hammer.

Dozens of Minotaurs had the momentum of hundreds of people, and the harpies in the sky were still watching them closely, swooping down from time to time to make a sudden attack.

This made the soldiers of the Thorn Legion miserable.

Fujiro mobilized the infantry to provide support, but it was not easy to temporarily move the soldiers who were already stationed in the most suitable positions on a battlefield that accommodated four or five thousand people.

One mistake can lead to a total loss.

At this time, the supporting team played a decisive role.

A team of dozens of people came to a position about a hundred steps away from the Minotaur. These warriors, who were only slightly shorter than the Minotaur and dressed in black iron armor, had only a pair of excited eyes showing.

Instead of launching an immediate attack, they waited for one of their companions to stick its butt out and do something.

A simple flag was raised, and the golden sun danced in the wind.

"Ready, charge." Levi snapped his fingers, and the muffled voice under the mask could be heard from far away.

Gaoyabao came here for experience and fame, so they must raise the flag at this time.

The sound of orderly footsteps was heard, and the orc barbarians charged forward with their war hammers raised.

Sikai, who joined the battle, rode his horse and charged with a spear in hand.

The Minotaurs naturally noticed this team. Although there were not many people, they were able to form a neat formation even when charging. The shocking feeling that they were a whole made them understand that this team was definitely the elite among humans even if they did not understand military affairs.

Under the command of a minotaur who was obviously a squad leader, they gave up slaughtering the soldiers of the Thorn Legion around them and turned around to meet them.

Fujiro, who was far away, naturally saw this scene and breathed a sigh of relief.

He had heard a lot about the Lord of Highcliff Castle from his sister. Although those stories were somewhat exaggerated, they were not entirely fabricated.

This proved that he had some abilities, but what puzzled Fujiro was...

I don’t know if it was because of his arrogance or something, but the Lord of High Cliff Castle only brought a team of a dozen people to support!
He admitted that the orc guards of Highcliff Castle were definitely not inferior in terms of individual fighting strength.

But the Minotaur opponents were obviously tougher opponents.

There were more than thirty tauren in iron armor, which meant that each orc guard had to deal with at least two of them.

But...how is this possible!
