Gate of Apocalypse

(Long section)

Chapter 238 [First Unified Army]

Merlin, the name seems to be a Western legend about the magician as a symbol of his profession.

Especially in the legend of King Arthur, Merlyn is a legendary character painted with great color.

He is King Arthur's magician, advisor, prophet, thinker...

Well, yeah, it's "he”, not “she”.

Though in some films and television productions Merlin has been interpreted as a woman.

But in fact, in the orthodox Western legend, Merlin is a man.

According to orthodox Western legends, Merlin is descended from the devil tribe (first and foremost from the elves) and the human race. Out of the forest, he can change his appearance into images, men, women, children, even animals, and communicate with animals in language and animals. In addition, he possesses some prophetic and prophetic abilities.

As can be seen from these descriptions, Merlin appears to be a standard magician in Western legends.

Or is it a... Druid?

In King Arthur's legend, Merlin took on an important part - even more important than Lancelot.

For example, after King Arthur's stone sword broke, Merlin took King Arthur to the shore of the lake and obtained a more sharp Victory Deed sword from a fairy in the lake.

And at this point, Merlin made an interesting prophecy:

Merlin warned King Arthur that although the sheath was sharper than the blade, the significance of the sheath was even more important because the sheath's presence prevented the bleeding and warned King Arthur to carry the sheath with him and not forget it.

And at the end of the legend, King Arthur died because he forgot to bring the sheath with him.

This is a famous prophecy.

But the problem is…

Merlin, like King Arthur, is a man who exists only in legendary stories!

Though Chen Xiaoxiao has made his own assumptions, perhaps William, is the prototype of King Arthur.

But the problem is... I didn't expect that there really is a Merlin around William!!

This Merlin... is also a magician?!

Is there really a magician in history?!

……

Merlin seemed to notice the surprise on Chen Xiaolian's face, but the middle-aged man didn't ask much.

Tire spare tires react much more normally than Chen Xiaocai - they don't seem to have seen many Western stories and don't seem to know much about the meaning of Merlin itself.

“So... Lord Merlyn.” Chen Xiaoliang sighed: “What can we do for you? ”

Merlyn took a deep look at Chen Xiaocai: “Just now, I found out that you could understand the map, which surprised me very much, or rather, was an unexpected surprise. I had an arrangement for you, but now it seems that the original plan could be slightly modified. ”

Merlin came to the map and drew a circle with her fingers on it.

“Harold sent a pioneer army with a strength of between 500 and 1,000 men. This is judged by our intelligence gathering and Harold's current mobilizing potential. Real data should not be too different from our judgment.

Harold had just fought with the Norwegians in the north. The Norwegians are our allies, and although they have failed, they have succeeded in depleting part of Harold's army and, most importantly, those aristocratic private forces loyal to Harold have lost a lot in the north.

Harold's strongest army at present should be his King's Guardian Army, which will not leave the King, so the formation of this vanguard should be part of an army led by a loyal nobleman, plus some liberal peasant army.

The advantage we currently have is that Harold has no cavalry, his army is mostly infantry, and this pioneer army should be no exception.

Here, in this position, is a hillbilly, where we can ambush them at night… according to my calculations, they pull out of London and calculate their marching speed, and they should be here tomorrow night, the morning after tomorrow at the latest. We're attacking here, and there's a lot I can do to break this pioneer. ”

Merlin said here, he paused deliberately for a while and looked at Chen Xiaolian.

Chen Xiaocai behaved very calmly. Instead of asking any urgent questions, he looked at Merlin quietly and waited for him to continue.

This calming calm caused Merlin to have some surprises in his heart, and increased the emphasis on Chen Xiaolian.

“This is how our army was made up, and Wang drew 100 men from the Norman Legion to me. These include the three of you. In addition, the Knight of Taylor carries his twenty squire and private army, plus a hundred mercenaries collected from the mercenary corps.

Our allied Brittany Legion is willing to provide 80 soldiers, all of whom are gladly cavalry. Together with the Taylor Knight and his men, we can gather up a hundred horseback riders, which can all play an important role in defeating the enemy. ”

Chen Xiaolian estimated that he was about 300 soldiers...

The number of enemies is about 500 to 1,000.

Even though the force is at a disadvantage, this is an ambush battle. It is unintentional, coupled with the fact that the other side has no cavalry, all of them are infantry. … We have 100 cavalry.

Seems likely to win!

Besides, have yourself and tire spares in battle!

Unfortunately, they had already tried in the tent and were unable to take out thermal weapons for use.

Otherwise, a handful of AK47 might solve the problem.

It really makes sense that the system doesn't allow technology to participate.

Otherwise, if that Roddy boy comes in, he doesn't need anything else, just summons the armor, then this battle won't have to be fought, one armor will be enough to take the whole of England several times.

“What do we do? ”

Chen Xiaolei gazed at Merlin.

Merlyn smiled slightly: “My new vision now is… the three of you, lead an army, and I intend to hand over the 100 mercenaries to your command. ”

He pointed to the map and said, "The ambush point is here. You ambush at the front end and wait for each other to pass. Don't do it yet. Then, wait for them to pass your ambush point. I will strike first with someone else and crush them face to face. At this point, whether they resist on the spot or turn around and flee… you, with the mercenaries, surround yourselves from behind! ”

Chen Xiaolian reckoned silently and nodded.

“Once we do, I'll make people light the fire on the hillside. As soon as you see the fire, take them from behind! Remember, as soon as you see the fire, do it! And if you don't see the fire, keep lurking! ”

“Okay, this order is clear.” Chen Xiaoliang nodded.

“In addition, I need a good hand who can break through the defense positively.” Merlyn's eyes turned to the tires and spare tires and finally landed on them: “I wish he could be with me. Harold's men are infantry, but their shield defenses are great, and I need a warrior who can dig right through each other's shield walls at a critical time! ”

Chen Xiaocai glanced at the tire, and the tire frowned, silent.

Chen Xiaoliang understands that tires are in his own hands.

“Yes.”

Chen Xiaocai thought carefully, although the tire leaves his side, everyone has team channels to use, and there are no communication problems.

“So that's it.” Merlin smiled, his eyes squinting, and looked at Chen Xiaocai: "I very much hope that in this war you will show enough strength and show some performance. King William is generous, and he will not give you anything if you contribute.

Maybe you don't have to go to London. After this war, you'll get the Knight title. ”

……

Soon, Taylor also came to Merlyn's tent, where Merlyn asked Taylor to take Chen Xiaoli and spare tires and go to the mercenaries.

In the Mercenary Corps, Taylor announced King's order that Chen Xiaolei and Spare Tire become commanders of this 100-man mercenary corps.

The decision was, of course, opposed by a number of mercenaries - after all, the identities of the three of them, who had formerly been very insignificant in the mercenary corps, all of whom were undisciplined and untamed.

However, after the spare tire took out seven or eight strong mercenary fighters in a row with only one hand, the voice of opposition gradually disappeared.

Strength is the norm that prevails in the mercenary community.

……

“How's it going? It's all arranged."

William was in the tent, and when he saw Merlin walking in, he looked up and asked.

Merlyn nodded: "I'm ready to say goodbye and ready to go. ”

William stood up and walked to Merlyn, staring closely into Merlyn's eyes; "You... be careful! I'm waiting for your triumph! And... you must come back alive! Merlin!”

“Your Majesty…”

“I'm not distrusting your abilities.” William shook his head: “You have to understand that your presence is more important to me than the triumph of this little attack! I don't even care if these 300 people are dead - as long as you come back alive! For me, your wisdom and loyalty are priceless riches! ”

Merlyn stared into William's eyes, and the middle-aged man's eyes seemed slightly agitated, but quickly disappeared.

“By the way, how are the three new boys? ”

Merlyn thought, "There's something beyond what I expected —— and I've made sure that the youngest of these three guys, the one named Galen, seems to have absolutely obeyed him, and he's the boss. ”

“Interesting. ”

“Perhaps you can consider one thing, after this ambush, if they achieve a very good result, you can first seal one of them as a knight. ”

“I'll think about it.” William's solemn commitment.

……

“Remember your mission. ”

Taylor Buddha is one of the few “acquaintances” in this army, such as Chen Xiaoliang.

Though this William's squire knight, he was often ridiculed as a butt kisser.

But it seems that this guy is actually capable of something. At least, the 20 followers he brought, all of them look very tough - they are cavalry in one color!!

Even in France, which is famous for its cavalry on the European continent, this is rare.

This Taylor Buddha must be rich!

In the Middle Ages, it was a very expensive expense to equip a soldier for horseback combat!

“Wait for us to light the fire heap!” Taylor finally ordered Chen Xiaoliang and others.

“Where is Lord Merlyn?” Chen Xiaoxiao watched Tyleford prepare to take the cavalry away.

Tyleford smiled back and said with some disdain: "Lord Merlyn is the king's most trusted person, he has been very lucky to receive you once. Are you still going to walk with him? Lord Merlyn will leave with soldiers from the Norman Legion.

As for you… the guide will take you to the designated location. ”

Wizard?

Chen Xiaocao soon found out who the guide was.

… another old acquaintance.

……

His head was helplessly caught in the middle by two soldiers.

The guy looked frustrated and had a chain armor on his body, and the helmet seemed a little small and couldn't be worn at all - his head was really big.

“How come it's you?” Chen Xiaolian couldn't bear laughing: “Didn't you say you wouldn't attend this event? ”

“I... I was forced. ”

His head was crying and his face was like, "I was in London the year before, one of my brothers, and we were smuggling alcohol. Familiar with the terrain of the place. It's also my fault, when I was drinking the other day, I bragged a lot, and these guys caught me. I must participate in this battle… Otherwise, they have a hundred ways to kill me. ”

Chen Xiaoliang smiled, indicating that the soldiers beside his head let him go.

His head struggled for a moment, relieved the control of the soldier, and quickly walked to Chen Xiaolei, a low brow and a smooth expression: “I said, this master, I didn't know who you were before. You see..."

Chen Xiaocao waved: “If you want to go, I can't agree - I need a guide. ”

When his head turned pale, he smiled bitterly: “I understand, but..."

“Don't worry, I'll take care of you as much as I can. As long as you behave yourself, I can guarantee you'll come back alive. ”

The look on the face of the brain is obviously somewhat disapproving.

He also heard some news that 300 soldiers had marched in the battalion halfway to snipe the enemy - the number of which was said to be close to 1,000.

In the Middle Ages, military discipline in the Middle Ages was poor, and the concept of confidentiality was not very clear, and it was not too difficult to hear the news.

And this guy with the big head, just in the simple idea that 300 people go and hit a thousand people.

Is this kind of mission still possible?

Your own foot is tied to the corner of Death.

Perhaps... you can escape halfway?

Chen Xiaoliang had dragged this guy directly to his side and touched a dagger to put it on the cheek of his big head.

The cold dagger blade changes the complexion of the head.

“You better not play tricks.” Chen Xiaocao faintly said: “As long as you behave yourself and take us to the right place, then I can personally assure you that you don't even have to go to war. When we go to war, you can hide behind us! Of course... you don't have the right to distribute loot after the war. ”

“Really?!” Big head eyes shine!

“Of course it's true.” Chen Xiaocai glanced at him: “You don't seem to be able to fight either. There's a lot more of you and a lot less of you. ”

“Good! I hope you keep your promise!” The big head said solemnly.

“Gavin!” Chen Xiaocai shouted, but only when he shouted for the third time, the spare tire responded by shouting at himself, hurrying to respond: “What is it? ”

Chen Xiaolei deeply looked at the spare tire and pushed his head to him: “This guy gave it to you, you keep an eye on him all the way, if he ran away, break his legs! ”

“I will never run away! I can swear to God!!” The head hurriedly believed in the promises made by Dandan.

Chen Xiaoliang stopped ignoring him and walked up to the hundred mercenaries, shouting: “Are you ready? You bastards! Ready, let's go!! Remember, this time, we don't lose our lives! We're going to make a fortune! The Londoners had no idea we were waiting for them there! Our presence will scare the shit out of them! All you have to do is cut off their heads with a knife in your hand! Then take your loot!

Got it!! ”

Mercenaries are, after all, knife-headed blood lickers. At this moment, they all provoke the fierceness of their hearts, shouting and drinking.

Then we barely listed a loose queue and set out.

Chen Xiaoliang walked at the end, the spare tire came to him, whispering: “Captain, how is the first commanding army, how is it? ”

“Shit.” Chen Xiaocai grinned. “These medieval mobs are also called the army? When I went to junior high to fight with my classmates, I was more organized and disciplined than they were. ”
