Cam is a Tier 4 warrior.
Like the knights of the human race, in the troll race, the profession of the gods such as warriors is generally the monopoly of noble children.
However, Samurai Kam is still a mercenary.
This is more unusual.
Because ordinary noble children are more willing to fight for honor than money.
But Cam is an outlier, he prefers money.
When he was Baron Cam, in order to get more taxes, he raised the tax rate in the territory to the appalling nine out of ten...
It is conceivable that Baron Cam's subjects soon ran away because they could not bear such exploitation.
Then, Cam was deemed incapable of management by the troll emperor, and was deprived of his title and territory.
Since then, Baron Cam has become Captain Cam.
The Tusk Mercenary Corps he established is quite famous in the troll empire, with nearly 2,000 members, and most of them are lunatics like Cam, who want money but not life.
This time, Samurai Cam received another mission—to garrison Windhowl Castle.
Sending a mercenary group to garrison a military fortress on the border of the empire sounds a little unreliable.
Regardless of the large number of mercenary regiments, there are many masters in them, but if you really want to meet elite regular troops, you will have to be killed wantonly.
Because of this, many more powerful troll mercenary groups have rejected this task one after another, and only Cam, who wants money and life, takes it.
Moreover, this troll warrior, who never leaves money, once asked the military representative who issued the mission, if the Tusk Mercenary Group killed the invading enemy while stationing at Windhowl Castle, would there be any additional rewards? remuneration.
When he heard such a question, the military representative had a strange expression on his face, but he still promised Cam that every time he killed an invading enemy, he could exchange their heads for ten gold coins.
Ten gold coins per head!
When Cam heard such a reward, his eyes turned red with excitement, and he nodded repeatedly, agreeing to the deal.
However, when Cam was gearing up to lead the Tusk Mercenary Group into Windhowl Castle, he was shocked to find that there was no sign of the enemy at all.
In the first few days, the fang mercenary group was still on duty and patrolling seriously, but after several days of calm, the nature of the mercenary group's lax discipline was exposed.
Alcoholism, laziness, fighting, fighting for female slaves... In short, the entire Castle of Windhowl was polluted by the Tusk Mercenaries.
Faced with such a situation, Cam didn't care about it, because in his opinion, as long as his mercenaries can kill people, it's fine. As for discipline, what is that
The only thing that worried the mercenary captain was why the enemy never showed up
But soon, Captain Cam's dream came true.
In the early morning of this day, there was a loud bang, and the entire Windhowl Castle seemed to be shaken by a giant hand.
Cam woke up from his sleep and was wondering what happened when he heard his subordinates yelling, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Now, instead of being surprised, Cam was overjoyed, and his eyes shone with golden light.
I saw him quickly put on the chain mail, took the scimitar, and shouted as he rushed out: "Brothers, kill! Here comes the opportunity to make big money!"
…
Outside the Castle of Windhowl, Colin was overjoyed when he saw that Knight Brad had knocked down a section of the city wall with a few sticks of wood. He immediately ordered Knight Logue to command the army to rush into the city.
Although he knew that the narrow terrain in the military fort was actually not suitable for cavalry, but at this time, he couldn't care about it.
If they can't even conquer Windhowl Castle, what about the Troll King's City
Go straight home and forget it.
The Logue knight estimated the size of the gap in the city wall, and then arranged ten batches of cavalry teams, each with two hundred men, and prepared to order them to charge into the city in batches.
But before the first team of cavalry began to charge, the defenders in Windhowl Fort rushed out from the gap in the collapsed city wall!
what's the situation
The Logue knight was a little confused.
The Brad knight at the foot of the city wall saw the black troll soldiers rushing towards them, and quickly led the soldiers under him to run back.
After running for a certain distance, Brad Knight looked back, and was shocked to find that those troll defenders were chasing after him!
What's happening here
Knight Brad was also a little dumbfounded.
Don't you see we have cavalry here
Don't use the location of the military fort, and run out to fight the cavalry
"Isn't this a trap?" Colin was also a little puzzled when he saw this situation.
"Shouldn't it be a tentative attack?" Knight Logue suggested.
"Okay! When the trolls come out a little more, send cavalry to strangle them, but don't rush into the city, and deal with the trolls outside the city first."
"yes!"
…
"Kill!"
The trolls followed the footsteps of Brad Knight and the others, roaring and cursing, as if annoyed that these humans ran too fast, causing them to lose a lot of gold coins.
Cam also rushed out of Windhowl Castle at this time. The leader of the Tusk Mercenary Corps is indeed not a fighter. Of course, the battle of the Mercenary Corps is indeed very different from that of the regular army.
But to be honest, Cam's brain is really not very good - which lord with a normal mind would set a tax rate of nine out of ten...
But he still has a normal brain around him.
"Master Commander, Commander-in-Chief! We can't charge anymore! Now that the enemy's situation is unknown, if we rush out in such a rash way, if the enemy is powerful..."
"Fart!" Cam glared and scolded angrily, "Fighting depends on courage, if you don't even dare to charge, then what a fart!"
Seems to make some sense...
However, the next second, Cam regretted it.
boom boom boom...
The ground suddenly began to tremble, and two cavalrymen appeared on both sides of the fang mercenary group.
They were sticking to the formation of the trolls, like a pair of big hands, hugging all the trolls that rushed out into their arms.
whoosh whoosh…
A sharp arrow rained into the troll formation like a rainstorm.
"Counterattack! Counterattack!" Cam was furious, roaring repeatedly, and asked his mercenaries to shoot arrows and counterattack.
But in the wilderness outside the city, the space for cavalry movement is too wide.
They kept galloping at high speed, and after firing a wave of arrows, they immediately distanced themselves to avoid the troll's counterattack.
Then, when the troll's arrow rain thinned out, it would approach again and shoot another wave of arrows.
Because they were worried that this was a trap, the Black Cavalry's attack method was still very conservative. Instead of using a frontal charge, they carried out harassment tactics, patiently cutting off the troll's flesh bit by bit.
Actually, Colin was too careful.
It was impossible for these troll mercenaries without heavy shields and tight formation to withstand a frontal charge of the black cavalry.
As time went by, the Logue Knight gradually came to his senses.
This group of trolls is simply a group of wandering soldiers. They can't even display the basic army formation, so they are probably not regular troops.
After receiving the reward, Colin also shook his head helplessly: "Hey, it seems that the internal defenses of the troll empire are really empty. Let's quickly resolve the battle."
"yes!"
