Chapter 634 The Strategy of the Mercenary Group

"Cousin Shirley, go to Lord Tris and ask for a sword suitable for women for me!"

"Yes!"

Shirley jumped out of the carriage immediately.

The carriage was still bumping forward slowly, and occasionally the door curtain was lifted to a corner, revealing an old book she had placed on the wooden edge of the carriage. The two in the carriage were silent.

Not long after, Shirley came back.

Tris did not refuse her request, and gave her a relatively thin cross sword, one of the styles commonly used by southern knights, similar to Lydia's sword full of gaps.

Anyang took the sword and said, "Excuse me."

"what I should do."

Shirley quickly turned around and got out of the carriage.

Anyang put the sword on his knees, took off the leather scabbard and looked at it carefully. After realizing that there was no problem, he handed it to Lydia: "Cousin, your sword is broken, please change it!"

Lydia took the sword without speaking.

Obviously, because Anyang is not Ain after all, there will inevitably be problems in the relationship between him and Ain's closest people, such as the silence with Lydia at this time.

Lydia sat in the carriage for a long time, neither looked at him nor left, did not speak, just held the brand new cross sword and rubbed silently, and after a long time raised her head to look at Anyang:

"...How are you doing these days?"

Her voice trembled a little.

Anyang nodded: "I have a good time!"

"That's fine, that's fine."

Lydia murmured in a low voice, stood up with the cross sword and was about to go out, her hands had already lifted the curtain, she suddenly stopped again, and turned around: "Ain, you have really grown up!"

After a pause, she narrowed her eyes, sighed and said, "Unconsciously, you have changed a lot."

brush!

Lydia opened the curtain and left without looking back.

Anyang sat in the carriage without speaking.

In fact, with his character, if it wasn't for the memory of Ain interfering in his mind, and if he was not protected by Lydia when he first came to this world, he would not have felt it at all.

It was the combination of these two reasons that made him hesitate!

...

The talents who are directly admitted by the Silence Tower are generally older. After all, they are not all students. Most of them are people who have already started their lives, but they are still mostly nobles. Anyang thinks this is probably because the nobles are better informed and have more contact with them.

They are not as ignorant and ignorant as the aristocratic children in the academy, and Flynn treats them better than the people admitted to the academy, usually two or three people in a carriage.

Anyang asked Martin to inquire about Lydia's situation.

Lydia was riding in a carriage with a young female apprentice, just the two of them. She and the female trainee are said to have known each other before being admitted to the Silent Tower.

Seeing this, Anyang did not insist on letting her come.

After all, when she came to this carriage, she might not be able to sit more comfortably than her previous carriage!

Anyang just asked Martin to tell Tris that he hoped that Tris could take care of her. Triris was also eager for the opportunity to connect with another first-class talent.

And this is undoubtedly telling Triss that five of the only six first-class talents in the entire team are closely related to each other, which can make him more afraid of himself.

Not only did he not lose face, but he also increased his weight in Tris' heart!

one stone two bird!

The larger fleet continues to move forward...

In the evening, thieves came.

Anyang leaned on the carriage and watched as a group of thieves rushed towards them, but his face was calm.

This group of thieves is much more advanced than the baronial thieves. Not only are they not wearing tattered clothes, but many of them even wear simple infantry armor. There are about two or three hundred in number, and there are even knights as leaders and a cavalry team. Already possessed the strength to attack the general baronies.

It is estimated that they took a fancy to the luxurious decoration and large scale of this motorcade. Most of the people on the carriage were aristocratic young people in their teens and twenties, so they thought they were rich and easy to bully.

But they were doomed to be wrong.

The knights of the mercenary group didn't make any extra moves, they just sneered and went up to them with their horses and whips.

"what!"

"kill!"

...

The sound of chasing horses and slashing is endless!

Soon, the thieves began to suffer heavy losses.

This mercenary group is obviously not an ordinary group that can be recruited by the Silent Tower to escort the future students.

Except for the commander Triris, who is a great knight, most of the other members are knights, and only a few are reserve knights, and these people usually only do some auxiliary work. It can be said that once this mercenary group sets foot on the battlefield, even if the federal government The most elite cavalry regiment cannot defeat it with less than three times the strength!

Anyang glanced at the dark carriage in the middle.

Flynn didn't move.

In fact, Flynn rarely asks about world affairs these days, and rarely even gets out of the carriage. He only gives advice when Triss encounters something he doesn't know how to deal with and asks him.

"Be careful, the thieves are shooting arrows outside!"

Shirley pulled out her sword and stood in front of Anyang.

They were almost the only people in the convoy who dared to stand outside. The others were hiding in the carriage. Even the apprentices didn't dare to be a living target for thieves outside, and naturally...

Many thieves are targeting them!

Huh! Huh! huh...

Several random arrows flew towards them at the same time.

Shirley's eyes narrowed, and with a dance of the long sword in her hand, all the arrows were intercepted, but Yu and Martin even rushed towards the group of thieves who were shooting arrows, unstoppable all the way.

Anyang picked up an arrow at random, started to guide the model of the throwing technique, and at the same time threw it into the air at will.

brush!

The arrow flew back at a faster speed than when it came, like a slender flash of lightning, shooting directly into the chest of a thief with a curved bow.

Soon, but Yu and Martin also return.

Their armor and great swords were already covered with blood and minced flesh, and they were obviously very happy to kill, but they had not forgotten their mission, and returned to Anyang to be on guard.

Anyang waved his hand: "Don't guard me, I'm fine, you go kill the thieves, but don't use your talents and abilities, Lord Tris and his mercenary group took care of us so much the other day, too. It's about time we thought about it."

But Yu and Martin looked at each other and rushed out.

"Yes, my lord!"

Shirley was still guarding by his side.

Next to the carriage not far away, Lydia got out of the carriage and stared at it, then quickly retracted her sword and turned away in silence.

But Yu and Martin have already begun to gallop, specializing in killing knights and reserve knights among thieves, and almost no one can stop their swords wherever they go, and they will soon achieve outstanding results!

brush!

A heavy-bow knight shot an arrow with a bow, and the heavy metal arrow roared away from the string, directly hitting the chest of a thief knight and piercing through his thick plate armor.

The knight fell to the ground.

But the fully-armored horse still rushed forward, and failed to hit the knights of the mercenary group, but was controlled by a knight who performed a beautiful horse-changing technique and became very well-behaved.

The other thief knight saw that the situation was wrong, and was frightened, he turned his horse and ran quickly.

"Everyone, retreat!"

"This is the legendary mysterious mercenary group!"

The mercenary group that escorted them did not actually have a name. Although they usually took on some tasks, they were responsible for escorting the students every year. In the eyes of many people, they were private soldiers raised by the Silent Tower, plus the strength of each member of the mercenary group. They were all very strong and gradually gained some fame.

This group of thieves obviously did not expect to commit a crime against them!

The remaining thief knight wanted to escape, but the mercenary group refused to give him this opportunity. Several knights easily caught up with them on high horses and killed them in a few rounds!

Anyang could see clearly, but he was a little puzzled in his heart.

It seems that the knights of these mercenary groups are not as powerful as the thieves knights, which is a bit strange. And even if they all have something to do with the Tower of Silence, the knights themselves are the pinnacle of mortal force, so it's a little too abnormal for so many to get together at one time! It should be known that even if ordinary knights join the army, they can lead a phalanx in the regular army of the Federation. The big knight is at least the treatment of the army commander.

"It seems to be a little quick..."

Anyang muttered to himself.

The knights of the mercenary group began to chase forward, and all of them were red-eyed. The horses ran forward with excitement. The great sword cut a famous thief into two sections, and the arrows whistled endlessly.

"Okay, stop chasing, save the arrows!"

It was not until Tris's shout came out that many knights came back reluctantly, but no one disobeyed him. Then there is the time to collect the spoils, but only ten minutes.

They dared not delay the convoy's journey.

Ten minutes later, the mercenaries began to clear the way.

About twenty minutes later, they set off again.

Flynn still did not show up.

Anyang has already learned from Triss with the help of Martin that unless he encounters a power that the mercenary group cannot resist or exceeds the power of mortals, Flynn will not take action!

Tris quickly rode to the side of the carriage, walked with Martin, whom he was more familiar with, and greeted Martin and the other three people in a low voice and politely before saying to Anyang in the carriage:

"Lord Ain, thank you for your participation in the war."

Anyang lifted the curtain, smiled and said to him, "This is what we should do. We have received a lot of care from Lord Tris along the way. It's just a small effort. We are happy to do so."

Tris still bowed his head respectfully.

Although Anyang only killed one thief.

Although the four of them except Anyang, the other three were also detected as first-class talents by the Silent Tower.

But everyone can see that Anyang is the leader of the four, not a leader like the captain, but a relationship like a servant and a master. This kept Triss wondering why.

Anyang asked him about the battle by the way.

"Thanks to Lord Ain's concern, we didn't suffer any losses. Only two knights were hit by the thieves' bows and arrows during the charge, and it was only a skin injury!"

"I seem to have seen arrows shot into the carriage."

"Yes, two adults were shot by random arrows, an adult from the Capital Academy died, and an apprentice was slightly injured. This is something we can't avoid..."

"It's no wonder Lord Triss."

Anyang smiled and nodded comfortably.

In fact, he is not stupid. The mercenary group's equipment and horses are set very high. If there are no archers and knights among the thieves, the mercenary knights can completely gallop, and a dozen or so people are enough to defeat them. However, the mercenary group came out in full force, leaving no one to protect the carriage, as if there was no awareness of protecting people.

This should be the intention of the mercenary group.

It should have been inspired by Flynn.

The purpose is to let ordinary talented people know that they may die at any time along the way, even a trivial threat may be accompanied by an accident, and they must rely on the protection of the mercenary group. At the same time, it also lets the trainees know that as long as they do not become mysterious people, they will always be mortals, and even ordinary thieves may kill them with one arrow, so that they can let go of their pride.

This in itself is a journey of experience.

Triss looked at Anyang's smile, but suddenly felt a little embarrassed. I don't know if Anyang saw through him or felt a little ashamed of his help, and quickly said goodbye and left.

Everyone continued to move forward.

The talented people from Metropolitan Academy have become more honest, and their attitude towards the knights of the mercenary group has also improved. Perhaps this is also related to the reason why they suddenly discovered that this mercenary group seems to have the strength of a full-fledged knight. Those who are not very smart feel at ease because of the mercenary group, and those who are smart begin to think about how powerful an enemy needs such a force to protect.

Martin still had nothing to do with tris, occasionally revealing his own strength to him, occasionally defeating him easily in the process of learning, and occasionally giving him some pointers.

At the same time, the news is also continuously sent back.

Such a mercenary force actually loses at least half of it every year. The reason is that the slaves and other races in the Federation who have been suppressed by the Silent Tower are attacked. The attack of the mysterious organization, the whole army is likely to be wiped out!

This is undoubtedly important information!

A week goes by in a blink of an eye.

Since leaving the small town of Solanka, the number of thieves I have encountered has gradually increased. In the past few days, there have been several waves of thieves almost every day. On average, they are attacked once a day. Some thieves will give up the attack because they see the strength of the mercenary group, but as long as they come, they will be killed by the mercenary group.

Anyang gradually discovered a rule.

If they encounter weak thieves, the mercenary group will come out in full force, and the apprentices or talents will suffer more or less casualties. And if the opponent's strength is strong enough, the mercenary group will take sufficient protective measures for everyone, but no one will be injured.

Slowly, everyone saw that the mercenaries did not seem to be trying their best to avoid casualties, but to keep casualties within a certain range. Of course, there is Flynn's inspiration.

They dare not disobey.

So everyone began to form a group, nobles and nobles, commoners and commoners united with each other, the southern and northern parts of the federation were also the basis for dividing factions, and academics and direct admissions did not integrate with each other...

The same is that everyone began to move closer to the trainee.
