Chapter 170 Provocation before the battle!
In the afternoon, Anthony and Brand, who had been vigilant, did not wait for the "big knight to attack alone" as they expected.
Towards evening, when the soldiers were almost ready, the cavalry team from the Kingdom of Crean arrived belatedly.
What surprised both Anthony and Brand was that the Kingdom of Crean did not appear from the road set up with magic roadblocks and traps.
——In the rocky wilderness not far from that road, a flat road dozens of meters wide slowly extended out, and a continuous team of cavalry wearing silver-white armor followed along this road!
"This is the wild road to take directly!"
After sighing inwardly at the stability of the Crean Kingdom's cavalry regiment, Brand quickly opened his eyes of insight.
At the front of the Crean Kingdom's cavalry regiment, three very conspicuous figures shining with dazzling golden light were slowly approaching on war horses!
"Three junior knights!"
Although it was still within the tolerance range, it was already the limit of what they could handle.
Looking at the cavalry regiments wearing silver-white armor coming out from behind the three knights along the smooth road, Anthony's eyes gradually became serious.
Most of the scouts he sent out before never returned, and even the few who returned safely were unable to find out the other party's detailed information.
——The other party’s information has not been revealed to them until now!
——Not only are they well-equipped, but their numbers are also large.
At least judging from the strength comparison on paper, they are at a huge disadvantage!
After a brief glance, Anthony turned his attention to Brand.
Anthony didn't need to say anything, Brand said first:
"Uncle Anthony, come on!"
After saying this, a transparent partition like a wave of water quickly enveloped him.
Then, Brand quickly disappeared beside Anthony.
It is definitely impossible for Brand to have a head-on confrontation with the Great Knight!
He is just a mage apprentice.
Of course, in order to make his Uncle Anthony's disadvantage slightly smaller.
The Grand Knight Golem will follow Anthony.
At this time, the Great Knight Golem was standing next to Anthony.
I have to say that the Great Knight Golem is truly one of the highest achievements of the Imperial Arms Department.
During this trip, Brand truly realized its power.
In addition to not having the power of a great knight, the power and speed it can exert even exceed that of an ordinary junior great knight!
According to the plan they discussed, if the opponent has two junior knights.
Anthony alone restrains the power of the other two great knights, and then cooperates with the great knight golem to suppress the other two great knights!
Brand was waiting for an opportunity to kill one of them directly with the "super enhanced version of the giant spear of the gods".
But since there are three opponents, the plan will be more complicated!
At this time, the three great knights of the Crean Kingdom were setting up the battlefield for the cavalry legions behind them!
Outside Manxiang City, the originally bumpy ground gradually became smooth and smooth.
As they continue to move forward, this "flat ground" is gradually extending towards Manxiang City!
It is conceivable that after they complete this arrangement, the cavalry regiment of the Kingdom of Crean will be able to charge towards the Elephant City without any care!
Of course, they all know that things cannot be that simple.
——Just look at the magic roadblocks and traps along the way!
——The 6th Infantry Regiment of the Kaya Empire must have some arrangements in this area!
Although both sides understand it tacitly.
But Anthony is not prepared to let the other party arrange the battlefield so unscrupulously!
After arranging all kinds of matters, Anthony rushed towards the opponent, and the knight golem on the side also quickly followed.
On the Crean Kingdom side, they saw two imposing figures, one white and one black, rushing from the Elephant City. They also quickly stopped arranging the battlefield and also moved towards Anthony.
Nor were they in any hurry to engage Antony in battle.
After all, the cavalry team behind them has not yet fully arrived.
Under this premise, they still want to delay for a while.
As for Anthony, he is not in a hurry.
After all, the 6th Infantry Regiment is on the defensive side and will certainly not charge forward to engage directly with the Cavalry Corps of the Kingdom of Crean.
In addition, the Earl of Mesa told him last night that Holland's knights were rapidly approaching their position.
Compared to other ordinary legions, which can take up to three days to arrive, the Knights are much faster than them!
Calculated based on the general marching speed of the ordinary knights of the empire, the Holland Knights will arrive at the Elephant City at the latest tomorrow morning!
So if possible, Anthony wants to learn from the previous leader of Liuyue City and talk to the other party to stall for time!
If the opponent is willing to repair in place for a night, attack them in the best condition! That would be the best!
Anthony said that he and his Sixth Infantry Regiment would definitely not escape!
At this point, he can even sign a magic contract with the other party!
Of course, I think so.
But Anthony also knows that this is almost impossible!
After the two sides got close, Anthony smiled and asked first:
"What are the names of the three of you?"
Hearing Anthony's friendly words, the three great knights of the Crean Kingdom looked at each other.
Then, the older one came forward and said to Anthony:
"I am Vernon Dragon, the commander of Antony's army. I am honored to meet you!"
Anthony was surprised for a moment when the other party called his name directly. .
Then, without waiting for what Anthony wanted to say.
The great knight opposite named Vernon continued:
"Excuse me, Commander Antony, do you want to surrender? The Cavalry Corps of the Kingdom of Crean is very willing to accept your regiment's surrender.
At the same time, I can guarantee that we will do it with the highest possible Treat the soldiers of your regiment like prisoners of war!"
Hearing the provocative words of the Lord Knight of Vernon, Anthony wanted to use the sharp sword in his hand to make him understand his status!
But that was just a thought, and the anger rising in his heart quickly subsided!
——It is not impossible to start a war directly, but if you start a war directly because of verbal provocation, it would be disrespectful to spread the word!
After brewing for a moment, Anthony responded with a smile:
"Mr. Vernon, I think you need to catch up on some sleep to understand the facts. How dare a mere kingdom army dare to challenge the majesty of the empire army! When you are locked up in the dungeon in two days, I will come to visit you. Yes!"
Even though Anthony said so.
But the great knight named Vernon always looked normal.
He responded with a slight smile:
"It seems that Captain Anthony's treatment in the prisoner camp will be reduced."
Anthony was also not annoyed and continued to fight back with a smile:
"It's hard to say whether my treatment will be reduced, but I will definitely We will prepare the best cell for Mr. Vernon!"
