Jack watched this scene from the side, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.
It is not impossible to get the holy oil for two people with the financial resources that Carlos has now, but Sir William obviously will not do so.
From this sign, this lord may have mastered the secret of making holy oil.
And being able to baptize knights alone is also the difference between great nobles and ordinary nobles.
In the past, only three factions in Fengying Plain had this qualification.
But now, another brand new force is booming!
…
Wharton Plains.
An army of 400 people was slowly driving on the grass.
The tall and strong soldiers have piercing eyes and well-equipped bodies. Half of them are wearing leather armor. Starting from the captain, they have armor inlaid with iron, and are also equipped with crossbow arrows. Horseshoes are rumbling. There are dozens of knights patrolling and investigating around. An army that is extremely elite and armed to the teeth.
In the forest of spears, there was a flag with a noble family crest on it, which represented the identity of this army, and it was a noble's private soldier.
On the blue flag, there is a shield-shaped coat of arms, marked by olive branches and crossed swords. If there are scholars and heralds here, you can recognize the meaning it represents at a glance. It is the magical piece. Lord of Carross, the sigil of Sir William!
"My lord, ten miles ahead, we will reach the earl's barracks, and a troop of cavalry will come to guide us!"
Wu Ming was wearing chain mail, riding on a black horse, looking into the distance.
Not long after, a cavalry galloped to report the latest news.
"Has the war started?"
"not yet!"
"The war hasn't started yet, that's good!"
Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief: "Follow the other party's guidance, enter the barracks, and immediately call our hundred people here!"
In order to silence other nobles, Amelia sent a brigade of hundreds of people to serve the earl when she received the call-up order.
Obviously, without a noble leader, such a team would not end well. If a war started, it would probably be cannon fodder.
Although Wu Ming's family has a great business, it is not such a waste, so it will naturally be taken back.
"Report!"
At this time, another ranger came back with news: "On our left, about five miles away, an army has been attacked!"
Although the war has not yet begun, it is perfectly normal to dispatch mercenary groups, adventurers, and rangers to spy on each other's intelligence strength and harass the grain and grass lines.
"Whose army was attacked?"
Wu Ming pondered for a while, then asked suddenly.
"Judging from the banner, it's Baron Terry from Nia Town!"
This answer surprised Wu Ming a little, and a smile appeared on his face immediately: "How many of them are there?"
"About a hundred people!"
"Call a team of cavalry and follow me!"
With a roar, Wu Ming rushed towards Baron Terry with fifty cavalrymen.
The closer they got, the faint shouts of killing came immediately, becoming clearer and clearer.
He crossed a low mound, and immediately saw a scene - on the opposite plain, a team of more than a hundred people was being chased by another team of the same number.
Although the numbers on both sides were equal, the militiamen on Baron Terry's side were dressed in ragged clothes, holding pitchforks and mallets, and their faces were full of panic.
On the opposite side is a joint brigade of mercenaries and adventurers. Not to mention equipment, at least courage is quite commendable.
They drove Lord Terry's army, as loud as a pack of wolves, and drove their prey on and on, eating the slowest waves at their leisure.
The reason why Baron Terry has been able to survive until now is entirely because he still has a knight with him.
At the end of the team, a knight who was covered in black iron armor and brandished a huge horned hammer roared, blocking most of the attacks.
Facing a real knight, those mercenaries and adventurers were naturally very afraid, holding bows and crossbows from a distance, and suppressing them with bows and arrows.
Once the special military crossbow forms a siege, it will be a huge threat even to the knights!
In Wu Ming's view, according to this situation, the best result for Baron Terry is to be protected by the knight, and he retreats completely, leaving the entire army here.
"charge!"
After seeing this scene, he didn't hesitate much, and immediately gave the order.
"Law!"
The horses roared, and a fifty-man cavalry team rushed into the battlefield, which was a huge shock to the commanders on both sides.
Immediately after seeing the banners raised by the cavalry, Baron Terry cheered suddenly, while the mercenary group began to riot.
Most of them are also infantry, so they are naturally aware of the power of an established cavalry in a war!
It's a pity that it's too late to escape now.
The commander of this mercenary regiment screamed loudly, ordering the archers to retreat and the spearmen to step forward, forming a simple square formation.
"Didn't run away immediately and collapsed, very smart, unfortunately..."
Wu Ming sneered and waved his hand.
Whoosh!
Behind him, more than a dozen knights raised their crossbows and shot the arrows of death.
puff!
A large amount of blood exploded in the hands of the spears. Perhaps only a few people were actually killed by this wave of attacks, but the casualties that occurred before the battle immediately caused the entire spear array to become scattered and collapsed.
"kill!"
Wu Ming roared, and the huge sound almost spread throughout the audience.
He raised his knight's spear horizontally, like an awl, and pierced fiercely into the square formation.
Whoosh!
There were also sporadic arrows shooting from the opposite side, but it was a pity that it was a joke to his armor. Even if it did not penetrate armor, ordinary arrows would not be able to pierce his defense at this time. out.
With amazing resilience, facing this kind of wound is like being bitten by a mosquito, and you don't even need to bandage it.
Click! Click!
The torrent of steel crushed the other party at once, and flesh and blood flew under the horse's hooves.
As early as the moment they met, the fate of the other party was already doomed.
Wu Ming moved his spear a few times, picked up a few mercenaries at random, and saw that the other party had completely collapsed, narrowed his eyes slightly, and chased after several horses.
Among a group of infantry, those who can ride horses are not only orderlings, but also senior commanders, and even generals!
As for the rout behind them, the guys who had completely lost their will to fight, even if Baron Terry came back, he would be able to easily deal with them.
"The power of all peoples, increase!"
While the horse was galloping, Wu Ming's eyes flashed golden, and a trace of power poured into the mount, forming a special boost.
"Law!"
The warhorse he was sitting on was originally a purebred horse, and after receiving the booster, its speed increased by several tenths, and it caught up with the escapee in the blink of an eye.
"I'm James, the head of the Silver Eagle Mercenary Group. I want to know who defeated me?"
Wu Ming rushed to the front and stopped the retreat. Those cavalrymen reined in their horses and seemed to have given up resistance. The leader took off his helmet, revealing a handsome face of about forty years old, and drank in a deep voice.
"The one who defeated you was the lord of Carross Land—William Wallace!"
Wu Mingyang replied: "Hand over your armor and weapons, and I will fulfill the sacred contract and treat you as prisoners!"
"It turns out to be the legend of the Spring Tournament, Master Clothed Sword Master!"
There was a wry smile on the face of James on the opposite side: "I believe in your character, my lord. Being your prisoner is not a disgrace to me... It's just that I haven't lost my fighting power yet!"
"drive!"
As soon as the words fell, he immediately steered the horse and bravely launched a charge.
Wu Ming pulled out the Longxin Longsword, and rode his horse forward as well. The two longswords met in mid-air, making a loud noise.
"Um?"
Wu Ming was slightly moved by the force coming from his hand.
The opponent had obviously reached the limit of his race, but he hadn't been baptized with holy oil, but his skills were quite good, and his combat power was comparable to that of a knight.
It's just that all of this is nothing in his eyes.
boom!
He exerted all his strength, but with just one sword strike, James exclaimed. The long sword in his right hand flew high, fell straight to the ground, and penetrated deeply into the turf.
Out of admiration for his courage, Wu Ming didn't kill him, but knocked him out with a scabbard.
Seeing that the regiment leader was taken down within a few moves, the other two mercenaries looked at each other, especially when they saw the encircling cavalry, they gritted their teeth and made a decision.
They got off their horses and handed over their long swords to Wu Ming: "We choose to surrender!"
"Very well, you will be treated like prisoners!"
Wu Ming called a few people, escorted them down, and immediately turned his horse's head to meet Baron Terry.
"Oh! William! You're my lucky star, it's great to see you!"
The baron was riding a horse, wearing a plate armor, and had some makeup on his cheeks. He looked very nondescript. When he saw Wu Ming, he had a surprised smile on his face.
"Long time no see, Lord Baron!"
Wu Ming said hello.
"Thank you for saving me this time, otherwise I'm afraid I will become a prisoner again!"
Baron Terry looked at the battlefield with a gloomy expression.
Immediately, he pointed to the horned hammer knight next to him: "Let me introduce you, this is Knight Auf!"
"Master William!"
The black-armored knight took off his helmet, revealing a bull-like head, and said in an authentic voice.
"Master Auf!"
In theory, the other party is still equal to him, and Wu Ming also pays back the courtesy.
"Hey... I let Thakur Knight stay in the territory. Now it seems that I should bring him too..."
Baron Terry looked a little regretful.
The last war obviously hurt his baron's neck, and he still hasn't recovered. Before, he barely brought some farmers, but he was very shivering. When he heard that Wu Ming had brought five hundred soldiers, The expression on Baron Terry's face became even more ashamed.
"By the way, I have already captured the leader of the enemy army, James, the leader of the Silver Eagle. How will the Baron plan to deal with him?"
Wu Ming naturally changed the topic immediately.
"James?"
Baron Terry's expression was slightly puzzled. When he saw the captive, his eyes lit up and he called out, "James Wilfer?"
