Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

"Like refugees, what are they talking about?" Pedro asked.

"Le Luni... the monastery..." Mayoufu frowned slightly.

Volgar let everyone off the guard and said, "It seems to be a peasant who was looted by woolen soldiers. What should I do?"

"Could it be a bait? Is there an ambush around?"

"No, everything is fine."

Youfu Ma nodded: "Then stop the boat. Let's understand the situation first, and then give them two days' worth of food, enough to reach Chinon."

With his moral bottom line, he will not be desperate for these desperate peasants.However, for safety reasons, Yoof Ma would not let these farmers on board.

This increases the risk of being attacked.

After the boat stopped, while others were carrying food, Ma Youfu met with the leader of the group of farmers.

Surprisingly, this is actually a priest.

"Good afternoon, sir. I am the abbot of the Abbey of Le Luni, Juvenier of Ulsen," said the priest.

This is a middle-aged man with a bookish air. Even though his body is scarred and weak, he still maintains the demeanor of an intellectual.

If Mayoufu has studied French history more deeply, you will know that this priest will become the think tank of Charles VII in the future, Archbishop of Reims and Minister of Justice, and will be greatly used.

"Hello, Father. What happened to you and these commoners?"

Yofu Ma had people bring boxes as seats, and they brought bread and wine.

Juvenil drank wine, ate a little bread, took a breath, and told his experiences one by one.

As the abbot of Le Luni Abbey, Juvenil has been trying to help the nearby villagers afflicted by war.About a month ago, a group of tough woolen soldiers ransacked and occupied the monastery.

Juvenir is also a professional, level 5 priest.But in the face of powerful enemies, especially the leader of the Wool Soldiers, Ian Gaskill, he was easily defeated.

About [-] civilians in Juvenir and two nearby villages were taken prisoner.

Ian brutally tortured and tortured villagers and monks every day, trying to find out their hidden possessions.I don’t know where this group of woolen soldiers heard that there is a stone with magical powers hidden in the monastery, so they are especially “careful” to Juvenil, and they carry out various tortures every day, which are beyond the imagination of normal human beings.

Later, Juvenir seized the opportunity of the mercenaries to revel and get drunk, and led the surviving villagers to escape from the monastery.Except for a few unlucky ghosts who were caught because they moved too slowly, the other 120 villagers escaped from the clutches of the devil.

The mercenaries who have plundered for a long time collected more than 60 war horses, and Juvenil must not run far with a group of farmers.

So he made a big detour of "crossing the Loire River four times", and made a big circle from the northwest of the monastery, and finally got rid of the pursuers.

"However, how difficult is it to survive in this war-torn land! In the dark night, under the influence of evil forces, the corpses of tragic deaths crawled out of the blood-soaked mud. All kinds of monsters that came to this world at the intersection! These farmers lack food and clothes, and people fall down every day. If I hadn't mastered the two magical arts of water making and basket of blessings, I would be able to maintain the needs of survival at a minimum, I'm afraid There are less than ten people who can come here today."

"Allow me to extend my sincerest condolences," Yoof Ma said.He glanced at the villagers who were weeping as they ate their food, and asked, "It's almost time for Chinon, and their suffering will end soon."

"I'm afraid it's not that easy." Juvenier shook his head with a wry smile. "Three days ago, for some unknown reason, Ian's men were dispatched to investigate everywhere. The road along the Creuse River has been set up by those woolen soldiers. The sentry, as long as we go south, we will definitely be found."

Yoof Ma and Volga looked at each other, and their expressions instantly became solemn.

"It's very likely that it's aimed at us," Volgar said.

"Only an English collusion with Ian Gaskill can explain the perverse actions of the woolly soldiers," agrees Mayof.

"How many are those woolen soldiers?" Yoof Ma asked again.

"More than 100 people, with excellent equipment and rich combat experience." Juvenir said in a deep voice, "Ian Gaskill himself is an elite fighter at level 11."

The shield dwarf rubbed his beard and said, "It seems that our plans are about to change."

Chapter 20 All Tactical Converters

The basis of all previous plans was that the strength gap between the two sides would not be too large.But now it seems that the wool soldiers alone are very difficult.

In particular, the opponent has a lot of horses, and they have the upper hand in terms of power.

And Volgar's single combat advantage as an elite rank warrior was also offset by the opposing mercenary leader.

The shield dwarf paced back and forth, looking a little irritable.

The plan to rely on ships to defend on the spot is no longer feasible.After all, it is not a real fortification, and it will definitely not be able to hold it in the face of the siege of hundreds of mercenaries.Moreover, there is a fatal weakness - fear of fire.

Entering Kanders Castle and relying on the city defense to resist is a seemingly feasible option.But what if you are intercepted by enemy cavalry on the dozens of kilometers from the ferry to the castle?

Concentrating all the horses, selecting the elite, and then breaking through the blockade in one go, and fleeing to Chinon, may be the most feasible way now.

However, after Volgar proposed this plan, it was immediately opposed.

His distant cousin, Qiao Yin, was the most determined.If he escaped lightly, the goods and belongings he was carrying would have to be discarded.That is the property of thousands of ducats!

Out of some simple chivalry, several Castilian knights also refused to flee without a fight.

Only the Count of Luxembourg does not matter.His task was simply to escort Mayouf safely to Chinon.

Juvenir also disagreed with the shield dwarves' proposal.

"General Volgar," the priest put a high hat on the shield dwarf, "if you gather your elite and walk away, the rest of you—especially these frail, defenseless refugees, will definitely not survive. possible. Can you find another way?"

"I have a goblin solution!" The shield dwarf cursed, tugging at his beard irritably, "The huge gap in strength cannot be made up by wisdom alone!"

Yoof Ma, who had been listening quietly, suddenly asked Juvenier a question: "Father, you lead these weak refugees to circle back and forth, relying on complex terrain such as swamps and forests to escape the pursuit of those fleeing soldiers. I think, There should be something to rely on, not just the blessing of the Seven Saints, right?"

Juvenil was startled, looked at Youfu Ma, was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Because I have a 'Guiding Stone'. It can help us pass through those dangerous areas full of monsters."

Juvenil knew that he had leaked his mouth before, and let the other party know that he had a "stone with magical powers".Although Youfu Ma and others behaved relatively friendly, he did not dare to guarantee that these nobles would still be able to restrain their greed when faced with treasures with extraordinary power - the priest had seen too many counter-examples.

With the lives of himself and hundreds of refugees in each other's hands, Juvenier chose to confess.

Seeing that the priest took out a black cobblestone of unknown material, Mayoufu asked again: "Can we use this stone to bypass the enemy's blockade and go to the monastery? What is the condition of the monastery, and is it suitable for defensive operations?"

"Yes. With your elite warriors, it is very easy for us to use the cover of darkness to return. The Abbey of Le Luni is built on a hill with a steep terrain. There is only a narrow Z-shaped mountain road leading to the mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to defend. attack."

Volgar, who was on the sidelines, had already guessed Ma Youfu's plan, and his irritable laughter swept away his irritability: "Haha, Seris, I admire your wisdom more and more. Occupy the enemy's lair, and then force the opponent to return to help, Defeat the opponent by virtue of the location! That's a really good idea."

"If I'm not mistaken, the monastery should be hoarding the wealth looted by the woolen soldiers." Ma Youfu smiled, raising his hands, his tone was full of incitement: "Everyone, whether you can achieve freedom of wealth depends on this. once!"

Whether or not he can defeat the enemy, Ma Youfu has no idea.But that doesn't stop him from using the magic of money to boost morale.

As soon as these words came out, not only the knights of Castile and the soldiers brought by the Count of Luxembourg, but even the dwarves who were only blacksmiths, became excited.

"Father, if we can defeat the enemy this time, then I will return the looted property of the monastery and the villagers. But only if you can mobilize those refugees. I don't ask them to take up arms to fight, but at least do Good logistics."

"The Seven Saints praise your generosity, sir. You will receive my most solemn promise." Juvenier bowed.

Of course, that "guidance stone" still has to be handed over.

After making the decision, the fleet picked up more than [-] refugees and set off again.

However, one of the Castile knights did not leave with the ship.

Because his mount is an excellent Andalusian warhorse, coming and going like the wind, few horses can catch up.The task Ma Youfu gave him was to wait for an opportunity to cross the blockade and go to Chinon for help.

In case the war is unfavorable, there is also a hope that "reinforcements are coming", which can effectively maintain morale and not be trapped in a lonely city.

The fleet sailed through the crossing, did not stop, and continued to sail down the Loire.

Youfu Ma noticed that in the forest on the shore, a figure was constantly flashing.

It is estimated that the English people found that the prey did not get into the trap as planned, and it was a bit unexpected.

However, the opponent's preparations are clearly still sufficient.After the fleet sailed for two or three kilometers, the lookout post found that there was an abnormality in the river ahead.

"Is that an iron cable?" Looking at the black object across the Loire River in the distance, Yofu Ma narrowed his eyes.

"That's right." The shield dwarf cursed loudly. "The damned Englishmen are really thoughtful. They want to block all our escape routes. The only option is to land at the ferry and head to Kanders Castle!"

"You know how to lock the river, can't I go boating on dry land?" Youfu Ma was in a normal mood, and he was still in the mood to play tricks.

"What do you mean?" The shield dwarf didn't know why.

"It's nothing, I mean, I have a way to fix this iron chain."

Of course, Yoof Ma did not have the manpower and resources to drag the boat from shore.But he can do magic.

The boat reeled, gradually reduced its speed, and slowly stopped in front of the iron rope.

Yoo Ma gathered the strongest warriors and asked Joey to get a batch of axes.

He picked up an axe and used the artificer's exclusive "magic infusion" ability to enchant the "acid splash" spell on it.

Although the effect only lasts for 24 hours, it is enough.

An orc who was more than two meters tall took the green axe that was infused with magic power, walked to the bow, and slammed down the iron rope with a thick arm!

Clang!

The sound of metal hitting is sour.In the splashing sparks, the dark green acid jumped out and dripped on the iron cable, making a "chichi" sound.

After counting interest.

The effect of the magic infusion is exhausted, and the axe is no worse than wear and tear.The iron wire was corroded by about one-twentieth.

Mayouf continues to use Mana Infusion to create an axe with corrosive damage.

His magic power was gradually being consumed, and when he wore it on his chest, the holy emblem given by Joan of Arc began to glow slowly, becoming more and more warm.

The fatigue quickly subsided, and Yoof Ma continued to cast spells.

Suddenly, an ethereal feeling of detachment descended from the sky, and for a brief moment, the mind went blank, and some new knowledge appeared out of thin air.

Youfu Ma felt that his upper limit of magic power had suddenly increased, and even his physical fitness had been strengthened a little.

"This is... an upgrade?"

Chapter 21 Preparations

Although there is no intuitive data-based experience value, every time Ma Youfu uses the ability of the artificer, it is a process of slowly accumulating.

These experience points converge like a trickle, until an unstoppable torrent forms, breaking the bottleneck.

From making ten grenades in the Dijon palace to making twenty infusion axes in one breath today on the river, after hundreds of spells, Yoof Ma finally got a promotion.

Yoof Ma had to thank Jeanne.If it wasn't for the holy emblem she gave him that greatly improved his recovery, he wouldn't have been able to cast spells so frequently.

In addition to the improvement of abilities in all aspects, the biggest gain of this upgrade is that Ma Youfu has learned a new magic engraving - spell enhancement.

This mark can be combined with other spells to get better effect when enchanting.

After the relentless hacking of the orc warriors, the iron cable was finally cut.

The fleet set sail again.A cavalry came from the shore and followed behind.

However, the banks of the river were covered with wetlands and swamps, and it was difficult for cavalry to pass through.

In the evening, in the afterglow of the setting sun, the fleet arrived at an abandoned fishing village.
