Chapter 101 Meeting before the Battle

Not far from the fortress, hundreds of people were moving stone bars onto ox carts.

After loading the scattered stones on the ground, they went to pry the outer wall of the fortress.

However, soon, they found the arrival of Simon and others, and they all gave up the stone bars, picked up weapons, and gathered together.

Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, Reed and others in the camp of Fengjian Village were refreshed, gathered their troops directly, opened the gate, and marched out in a line.

Now Baron Berlitt had to face threats from two directions, and the formation was adjusted immediately.

Simon led the soldiers to approach them slowly and observed carefully.

"This guy has some military literacy, at least he passed the test."

He thought to himself, because Baron Berlitt's army was relatively orderly, not panicked, and the formation was well-coordinated.

"Is it Baron Simon from Yongyi Territory who came!?" One of them with a loud voice began to shout.

"That's right! Why are you invading Yongyi Territory!?" After receiving the signal, Ai Lei also shouted in response.

"Nonsense!! This is the territory of Green Plain Territory! You have crossed the border! Hurry and retreat to the hills to save your life!"

"How dare you!!! How dare you confuse right and wrong and invade our territory? Do you want to live?

Robbing our stones, what's the difference between that and robbery!?"

......

Both sides were talking nonsense, and Simon's army slowly approached them, and finally stopped more than a hundred meters away from them.

He has a total of eight or nine hundred people, including the soldiers in the camp of Fengjian Village, far more than the troops of Baron Berlitt.

"Our Lord Baron requests a meeting with your lord!"

The two sides confronted each other for a while, and a voice came from Berlitt's side.

After hearing this, Ai Lei looked at Simon, who nodded slightly and whispered something.

After a while, he responded: "No problem, meet in the middle!

Both sides must not bring more than twenty followers, and no archers!"

"Okay!" The other side quickly responded.

After that, both sides began simple preparations.

Simon ordered: "Aile, come with me.

Mailan, pick eight more guards with the strength of silver warriors and above to go with me, plus you, to make ten.

Let Kelair figure out the rest."

"Yes!" Mailan responded, and immediately rode to the War Spear Mercenary Group and passed the message.

After a while, Kelair ran over with nine armored men, all of whom were wearing heavy armor.

This kind of armor doesn't look as fine as heavy scale armor, but it is also a full-body protective iron armor, which must be worth about twenty golden eagles.

It seems that he is using the core elite of the War Spear Mercenary Group.

At this time, Berlitt was also in an urgent discussion.

"Baron, is it a bit dangerous for you to go over and meet like this? I saw the flag of Kelair's War Spear Mercenary Group.

Their strength is not bad. Although they will definitely be seriously injured after destroying the Wolf Cavalry, they should not be underestimated."

There was an older knight next to Berlitt, who said in a serious tone.

"Don't worry, this is our first meeting, and we won't fight.

They have more people than us now, so we have to delay for a few more days. Once the support from other families arrives, we won't have to be afraid of them.

This is really too much. From the map, this area is obviously my territory.

Just watch, I must occupy all his hills..."

Baron Berlitt was still calm, but his tone was obviously full of resentment.

"Okay, Baron, I will select elite soldiers to protect you, even if it costs my life, I will definitely protect you!"

The middle-aged knight said loudly.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Berlitt smiled and said with satisfaction.

Not long after, they were ready first, rode out of the team slowly on horseback, and moved towards the center line of both sides.

Simon observed for a moment, felt relieved, and lightly squeezed the horse's belly, leading people to meet them.

Most of the twenty followers of Berlitt wore light iron armor lined with double-layer chain mail, and only a few wore heavy armor.

Only the baron and a knight wore a set of heavy scale armor with stronger protective ability.

On Simon's side, Kelair wore a set of high-quality heavy scale armor, and the other members of the War Spear Mercenary Group were all equipped with heavy iron armor.

Ai Lei wore a set of knight plate armor, and Mai Lan and others were either scale armor lined with chain mail, or heavy iron armor lined with chain mail, all heavily armed soldiers.

The two sides walked towards each other, and the more they walked, the more insecure Berlitt felt, and even had a sense of fear.

You know, in the era of cold weapon wars, there is a huge difference between wearing armor and not wearing armor, and the quality of armor has a significant impact on the combat ability of soldiers.

One hundred well-trained shield spearmen who know how to form a battle array and are equipped with light iron armor lined with a single layer of chain mail are enough to suppress or defeat a thousand conscripted militiamen.

If the morale of the militia was lower, it would not be uncommon for a hundred elite soldiers to chase thousands of others.

So in war, sometimes we cannot simply look at the number of people, but equipment and morale are also crucial.

And now, whether in terms of the number of soldiers or equipment, Berlitt is completely at a disadvantage.

If he is not afraid, he can be called a real person.

Soon, the two sides met and stopped at a distance of about ten meters.

"Baron Berlitt! This is the first time we meet, but you leave a bad impression on me!

We can discuss everything, but why did you bring people to steal my stones! This is not something a noble can do.

Just like a robber! ! You are a disgrace to the nobility! "Simon took the lead and scolded him when he came up.

Burrit was angry in his heart, but the military force on the other side was stronger and he really couldn't speak forcefully.

"Baron Simon! Please don't make excuses. This place is clearly..."

"Nonsense! Open your dog eyes and take a good look. This place is at the junction of the map and is led by Yong Yi!

Going over there is your territory!

Stop changing the subject and return my stones quickly!

I recently heard that many small caravans were robbed. Could it be robbers disguised as nobles like you? "

Simon said bluntly.

"Baron Simon! Please be careful what you say! Our Rona family has been around since more than a hundred years ago..."

Burritt began to talk about his family's history of struggle and glorious deeds.

"Then how come your family has a despicable descendant like you, who actually imitates a robber and comes to steal my stones?"

Simon didn't listen carefully to his story and just said sarcastically.

"Baron Simon! Please take a closer look at the map. This place is beyond the boundary of the Territory of Valor.

Even if there are some errors in this picture, it will never be this much different.

If you insist on bullying the weak, our Rona family will have no choice but to accompany you to the end!

When the casualties on both sides are too heavy, aren't you afraid that others will take advantage of you? ! "

Burrit's face turned red, and he was obviously very angry, but he was quite restrained in speaking.

"You return the stones to me first, and then we can sit down and talk.

No matter what happens, let's drink malt wine and eat roasted leg of lamb and talk slowly. "

Simon stared at him for a moment, then suddenly smiled and his tone became much kinder.

“That’s really nice of you to say that.

I was indeed a little impulsive. The stones are still here. We are moving them to the bullock cart and haven't had time to transport them yet. "

When Bolit heard this, he was very surprised. Why did the other side suddenly get better? Is it because he is afraid of his family's strength?

He was now at a disadvantage, and he didn't want to offend the opponent, so he immediately borrowed the donkey's advantage and offered some nice words.
