Chapter 296: Outing
"Lord Baron!" Alexia rode a petite Morning Breeze Warmblood horse with Wormwood behind her. She waved her hands excitedly, "Is today the day I am crowned as a female knight?"
"Of course not, at least not today."
Field was happy. This girl was probably the most courageous child in the territory and the only one who dared to argue with him. After all, she was Tate's daughter.
The girl looked sad: "It's a pity that you missed the best female knight in the territory."
"There will be opportunities in the future. Today, I will take you on an outing."
Field glanced at the eleven children in front of him. After layers of screening and joining, except for Black and White Feather, everyone else has mastered a lot of knowledge and military skills.
In this era, these children have the potential to apply for officials, caravan leaders or manage a small camp. What they lack now is only experience.
However, Field does not want the officials he trained to leave the people of the territory and become flowers in a greenhouse, coveting comfort.
Most of the boys and girls in front of him were terribly afraid of the world in the gray fog, and their shaking legs showed it.
If one day they said: The lord and the soldiers only need to go to the battlefield, but we, the officials in the rear, have more to consider.
I would be angry to death.
There were also 30 guards including Iron Hammer and the Wolf-like cavalry.
The army led the way and everyone moved eastward.
Since the strangulation of the corpse lord of Starry Night City, the corpses in Night Territory have become weaker and weaker. In addition, the slaughter back and forth of Asina and the "corrupt" Violet has sharply reduced the number of corpses in Night Territory.
Field explained the basic situation of Night Territory to them along the way.
"Ticifa, be careful of our northwest, there are a large group of rotten corpses coming."
Looking at the small map, Field immediately gave orders to Tisifa, and at the same time commanded the guards: "Guards use a circular formation for defense, and the naughty kids don't make any noise."
"Yes, sir!"
Ticifa knew that his perception was not strong, so he had no doubts.
"Cavalry follow me and occupy the high ground."
Field waved his hand and led the cavalry to quickly jump onto the earth slope on the side to support the infantry square.
"Hey? You two are new."
Alexia jumped off the horse, looked back and forth for a moment, looked at the new twin girls, and took the initiative to reach out and hold their hands: "I'm here, don't be afraid."
"Yeah." Heiyu nodded obediently.
As the elder sister, Baiyu was still a little confused, and looked at Alexia timidly, with a gorgeous and pure white dress.
"Are we going to fight the corpses?" Bai Yu was almost scared to death. She had lived a safe life for many days and almost forgot that there were monsters all around her. "I... I can't beat them."
"No, don't do anything later, don't shout, just leave the battle to the soldiers. The more you shout, the more excited the corpses will be. The more excited they are, the easier it is for you to get pregnant... No, the easier it is for you to be attacked."
"They are coming!"
Alexia was not panicked at all, and was even very excited.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
The corpses rushed out of a chaotic gray fog, as if they were teleported out of thin air, and they roared horribly, rushing straight towards the circle where the guards were.
"Sizzle~" Before they met the enemy, smoke began to come out of the corpses, as if they were on fire.
The holy light emitted by Tisifa is hundreds of times more effective than the fog lights. The corpses who step into it will slowly be hurt.
With a flap of the wings, countless sharp holy feathers shot out like locusts.
In an instant, screams continued on the plain. The corpses without armor protection had no way to defend against Tisifa's long-range means.
A large number of corpses were shot to death by feathers. Some corpses that were lucky enough not to be shot were even more unlucky. The holy light feathers began to burn on their arms or shoulders, directly igniting the corpses into a fireball.
Almost every meter the corpses advanced was filled with the corpses of their companions.
The corpses that were originally like a tide soon became sparse.
"Now, cavalry, follow me to attack the flank of the corpses!"
Field raised his lance, clamped his horse's belly, and launched a direct attack.
The high ground was just right for the cavalry to charge all the way.
"Protect the adults."
Seeing Field driving his horse to charge, the wolf-like cavalry around him immediately sped up, as if wearing armor, and there were cavalry in front, behind, left and right, keeping a distance that could be seen by each other.
In a serious war, cavalry charges are not blindly charged, and there are often light cavalry or knights' escorts to lead the way.
"Be careful of debris tripping the horses!"
A light cavalryman rushed out immediately after seeing a rotten wooden cabinet overturned on one side of the road, pulled out a rope from the left side of the saddle, threw it out, and tied the wooden cabinet accurately.
He pulled hard and overturned the cabinet blocking the road.
"Swoosh~"
Then, the cavalryman who rushed to the front took advantage of the gap and shot two waves of arrows, and immediately seven or eight fierce corpses fell down.
"Good guy, Ashina is good at training cavalry." Field couldn't help but marvel at it. The cooperation between these light cavalrymen has reached the pinnacle. And the strength of a single cavalryman is comparable to that of a green forest ranger.
Without time to think about it, the cavalryman rushed straight into the flank of the corpse without any obstacles.
At this time, the corpse was still paying attention to the infantry square in the distance, and didn't notice the enemy coming to the right at all.
"Bang!"
Several rotten corpses without eyes were directly knocked away by the horses. The lance in his hand was like a skewer of candied haws, piercing three or four rotten corpses.
If this was a sign, the army composed of serfs must have collapsed at this moment.
"Be careful, sir."
The two cavalrymen beside him, one holding a long knife and the other attacking with a spear, would definitely fall down with each attack.
The knights cut through the waves quickly, cutting through the carrion group and dividing the carrion into two parts, as simple as drinking water.
The rotting corpses behind wanted to chase the cavalry, which made the group of corpses even more chaotic.
"Ah? Lord Baron... He's okay, right?" Black Feather looked through the gap in the wall and was worried.
"This is nothing." Alexia swelled up, as if she had led the army to launch an attack, and said with excitement, "No matter how many rotting corpses there are, it doesn't matter. In fact, the territory of the large manor has suffered countless This attack was just that I protected you very well, and you didn’t even realize it.”
"That's it..."
Black Feather's face was filled with admiration, while Bai Fei's face turned red with guilt.
The cavalry quickly dispersed the corpses, and Tisifer simply stopped them, wiping out all the corpses without even letting the corpses reach the infantry square.
"Sir, look at me, look at me, I want to try cutting one."
Alexia kept jumping around. She took out the small dagger she carried with her and waved it in the air: "You can't grasp the essence just by looking at it. I am the captain of the night expedition."
