Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

After paying the boat fee, everyone will land here.

Able to avoid a battle and go to Anjou to sell wine without incident, the owner of the boat is very grateful to Youfu Ma.

"Ha, a typical village destroyed by war, curse those Englishmen!" John the Count of Luxembourg scolded in a low voice after disembarking.

He raised his crossbow and it was an arrow, and a wailing came from not far away.

After a wild dog with green eyes, smooth fur, and black aura was shot to death, its companions fled in all directions.

These beasts finally understood that the two-legged ape in front of him, wearing armor and fully armed, was not the same species as the corpse dug up from the new grave.

Night is about to fall, the roads outside the village are destroyed, and the wilderness is vast. It is not easy to figure out the direction.

Juvenir walked up to Youf Ma and said, "Sir, please use the Stone of Guidance. If you want to cross this dangerous land at night, you must rely on it."

Yofu Ma nodded.

After carefully writing down how to use it, he took out the stone of guidance.

In his heart, he recited the destination—the Abbey of Le Luni, Mayouf poured magic power into the stone in his hand, and at the same time recited: "Samoh, the god of travel, and Mirna, the god of concealment, in the name of the Seven Saints, using the black stone as a medium, please Bless me, please guide me..."

When the magic power in the stone accumulated more and more, and finally burst into a fleeting light, Ma Youfu found that there were several dotted lines under his feet that extended into the distance and only he could see.

It's like the wayfinding system in a video game, as long as you follow the dotted line, you will definitely reach the final destination.

Each dotted line has a different color and thickness.

According to Juvenier, the thicker the dotted line, the longer the journey, and the darker the color, the higher the danger of the road.

Yofu Ma called Volga.

According to the shield dwarf who has experienced many battles and has professional military knowledge, Ma Youfu learned that it would take about two days for those woolen soldiers to find their whereabouts.

Including the time for the enemy to assemble and march, if Yof Ma and his party can reach the monastery within one day, they will have three to five days to prepare.

This also improves the odds.

After weighing it, Ma Youfu chose a relatively dangerous but relatively short route.

After the whole team, everyone set off.

A night of marching, there are no surprises.There were three skirmishes, but the enemies were all skeletons, wolves, and the like.Four refugees were missing, a dwarf fell to the ground because of the heavy armor and sprained his knee, and that was the total loss.

In order to intercept Ma Youfu, the woolen soldiers were dispatched in full force, and only a few wounded soldiers were left behind at the monastery.They didn't even have time to escape, so they were caught in a pot.

The angry refugees rushed forward and killed all the wounded soldiers who surrendered.

If Youfu Ma had not seen the opportunity quickly and let Volgar rescue a prisoner, I am afraid that there will be no targets for interrogation now.

After some interrogation, after getting the information he wanted, Ma Youfu graciously gave the captive a clean death.I am fortunate to have not been tortured to death by those refugees who treated them in their own way.

Along the way, he witnessed many cruel scenes, and Ma Youfu had no mercy for these woolen soldiers.

Holding the key found from the prisoner, Mayoufu went to the underground of the monastery, opened the triple iron gate, and entered the warehouse.

Half of the space is used as a wine cellar, and the other half is used by the woolen soldiers to store looted goods.

Looking at the mountains of gold and silver, everyone couldn't help smiling, thinking about how to distribute them after victory.Youfu Ma estimated that even if he didn't feel bad about selling his cubs and tried his best to reward everyone, he would still be able to keep eight or nine thousand ducats in his hands in the end.This is equivalent to the annual income of a fief count.

The primitive accumulation process, which has caused countless capitalists a headache, was completed so easily.Sure enough, robbery is the shortcut to making a fortune.

Everyone is addicted to the light of precious metals, only Vulgar is an exception.

The shield dwarf sniffed, showing a happy expression, picked up a gold cup inlaid with rubies, and walked to the stacked oak barrels.

Pulling off the stopper, the amber liquid poured into the glass, making Volga even more drooling.

He couldn't wait to raise his head to drink it, after a long sigh of relief, he praised: "What a strong wine, I like it!"

Hearing the voice of the shield dwarf, Youf Ma walked over quickly, grabbed the glass of wine he had received half of it, and sprinkled it on the ground.

"Hey, Seris, what are you doing? This is a shameful waste!"

Ignoring the protest of the shield dwarves, Ma Youfu threw the torch on the wine, and the flames burst into flames immediately.

"We are very lucky. With these flammable spirits, the odds of winning can be increased by [-]%!" Youfu Ma laughed.

"These 'cold-repelling elixir' can be used for combat?" Juvenier asked.

In the past, the Abbey of Le Luni learned how to make whisky from the Scots who supported the French king in battle.So Juvenir upgraded the abbey's winemaking industry and started making this spirit.

However, because Europeans do not have the habit of drinking hot water for Chinese people, and there is no way to ensure the safety of water sources, they always use various low-alcohol beer and fruit wine as the main means of water intake.

In this drinking culture, the promotion of strong distilled spirits is difficult.

Juvenil could only sell whiskey as a potion to ward off the cold, and it made a fortune in winter, and many armies even listed it as munitions.

There are dozens of barrels of spirits and hundreds of empty bottles, so is it still difficult to make a Molotov cocktail?

If there are other accelerants that work better, that would be perfect.

Then, in the armory, Youfu Ma and his party found several cans of thick, pitch-black, foul-smelling liquid that ignited at a touch.

"oil?"

Juvenir explained: "This is the 'black water' collected by the woolen soldiers in the swamps of the east. They want to use this thing to mix sulfur and resin to make Greek fire. But the name of oil may be more appropriate."

In addition to oil, the armory contains plenty of armor and weapons, enough to arm a small army of 50 men.In addition, those wool soldiers actually got a snake cannon!

The cast-iron gun, made in a barrel-like manner, weighed more than a ton and had no wheeled gun mounts for easy movement. It was placed on a base that resembled a large wooden box.

It is also unknown how the woolen soldiers overcame the rough terrain and transported the artillery to the monastery.

Although he didn't learn how to shoot a gun, Ma Yofu's mathematical knowledge surpassed most of his contemporaries.He knew at a glance that with the depression angle of this thing, it would definitely not be able to bombard the enemies gathered under the hills.

"How to use this baby has to be carefully considered. The most urgent task is to get it out." Youfu Ma said while stroking the cold cannon body.

"Let those orcs move, anyway, their stupid strength has already overflowed, it is better to consume a little." Volgar didn't care, "The top priority is how to arrange defenses."

The two left the underground, pulled the Count of Luxembourg together, and walked around the monastery. After getting familiar with the terrain, they made a preliminary plan.

"Our defense focus should be here." The shield dwarf's stubby fingers pointed to a boulder not far away.

There is the last corner of the road up the mountain, narrow and steep, with cliffs on the left and cliffs on the right, and only one side faces the enemy.

If a battle breaks out here, the attacker will have to pay a lot of extra stamina for the upward attack, and long-range weapons will also be limited.And not only had to face the frontal defenders, but also had to beware of the condescending attack on the right cliff.

"It's a perfect plan." The Count of Luxembourg spread his hands, "Although I prefer to ride a warhorse, armed with a lance, and charge the enemy."

"Tsk, the French!" the shield dwarf whispered.

Since the professionals said so, Yo-Fo Ma made a final decision.

As for the Count of Luxembourg, since he likes slashing so much, then assign him a task.

Youfu Ma handed over the remaining two Castile knights and all the javelin cavalry to the command of this Mr. John, and asked him to descend the mountain ahead of time and hide in the nearby woods, waiting for the opportunity to backstab when the battle began.

This is probably the so-called "pulling the horns".

Boarskin can study "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as a military book, why can't I, Yofu Ma?

In any case, both Volgar and the Count of Luxembourg thought the idea was a good one.

The next day will be full of preparations for battle.

As a mountaineer in the Alps, Volga's best formation is naturally the Swiss phalanx.

This time it was a defensive operation, and there was no need to maneuver or consider flanking defense, so he also made corresponding improvements to the opponent's formation.

Most of the members of the phalanx were pikemen.The first two rows selected elite orc warriors from the Duke's Guard of Burgundy, and the back was sturdy men selected from the refugees.

Join's dwarven blacksmiths don heavy armor, shields and one-handed weapons for use as hand-to-hand combat.

In such a formation, the dwarves can give full play to their "height advantage", which will not prevent the pikemen behind from attacking the enemy, but also can effectively protect the spear formation and prevent the enemy from bullying them.

While Volga was busy training the troops, Father Juvenir led other refugees in building fortifications and making Molotov cocktails.The entire monastery is in full swing.

And Yoo Ma, there are important things to do.

Chapter 22 New World Order

Mayouf finds Juvenir, who has just led the refugees in prayer.

"Father, can you tell me in detail how the woolen soldiers captured the monastery before?"

Before, Juvenier only briefly mentioned the fall of the monastery.But after personally observing the terrain here, Yofu Ma had doubts in his heart.

How could a monastery that is protected by priests and armed priests and whose terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, be captured by a group of woolen soldiers in a short period of time, without even organizing effective resistance?

"I don't know either." Juvenil shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Since Ian Gaskill's woolen soldiers appeared nearby, the monastery has strengthened its vigilance. Every day, several senior priests and I will lead the team to take turns to watch the night. , beware of the enemy. On the night when the monastery was breached, it was my turn. I went back to my room to rest the next morning without incident. Unexpectedly, after sleeping for a few hours, I was awakened by firelight and screams... "

It seems that the dean doesn't know much.

"Will there be a traitor?"

"Perhaps. But now, apart from me, the other clergy are either dead or missing, and the truth is never known."

A thread is broken.But Yoof Ma is not going to give up.Why are those woolen soldiers able to raid the monastery like magic soldiers?If this problem is not clear, the defense system he and Volga designed is a joke, and they are in danger of being stolen by the enemy at any time.

Mayofu suddenly thought of a possibility: "Father, will there be other roads leading to the monastery? Like a cave or something?"

Juvenier nodded and said: "There are indeed many caves in the hilly area of ​​​​tens of square kilometers near the monastery. However, these caves are too complicated, like a huge spider web woven underground by a creator. Even the local people who have lived for decades Even people can't figure out a tenth. It takes a lot of manpower and a long time to find out whether there is a cave leading from the foot of the mountain to the monastery. Moreover, those dark underground caves often condense a strong evil Magic, very dangerous..."

"Don't we have the Stone of Guidance?"

Juvenil was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I never thought that the stone of guidance can also be used to explore hidden paths."

He hesitated for a while when he saw Yofu Ma taking the stone out, and finally said, "Sir, I think you should use this treasure bestowed by the Seven Sages more carefully. It still has many restrictions, and I didn't have time to tell you. "

Simply put, the Stone of Guidance has two limitations.

First, the effective range of the Guiding Stone is an area of ​​[-] kilometers.If entering a new area, the Guidance Stone will turn white.At this time, the holder must travel and visit, let the guide stone collect geographic information, and finally turn black again before continuing to use it.

Second, there is a limit on the number of times the Stone of Guidance can be used.The exact number of times Juvenir is unclear, but after the magic power is injected into the Guiding Stone, its lifespan will be reduced accordingly.

"With such restrictions, it seems that a lot of prank operations cannot be realized." Youfu Ma sighed.

But even so, the Stone of Guidance is only downgraded from an open console to an SSR-level rare treasure, and it is still of great value - especially in the military.

"Mr. Yofu Ma, please allow me to apologize to you. I hid something before because I was afraid that after you knew about the flaws of the Guiding Stone..."

"Now you're not afraid, because you know that everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, and I can't turn my face over this kind of thing?"

Juvenil didn't speak, it was a default.

Youfu Ma waved his hand: "Forget it. You are only trying to survive in the cracks for those refugees. Only children think about the benefits. Adults know how to choose between interests."

He changed the subject: "However, I still need compensation. I want three books for the monastery's collection."
