Chapter 107 Collapse

Since he sensed an unknown threat, Richard did not intend to continue to release magic. He drew out his two-handed heavy sword, ran a few steps quickly, and cooperated with Soros to attack the enemy.

When warriors fight, they mainly rely on strength attributes to win.

Whoever has greater strength and faster speed will be the first to knock down the enemy in a life-and-death battle.

Of course, fighting skills and enchanted equipment can also have an immediate effect in the battle.

The enemy who fought with Soros was named Howard Lien.

The two even had similar origins. They were both the second sons of the baron and had no territory to inherit.

Soros was the child of the court lady, and Howard's status was even worse. He was the illegitimate son of the Lien family.

Both of them were favored by their fathers. After they became adults, they were also excluded by their brothers who inherited the title. They set up mercenary groups one after another, hoping to rely on the power of mercenaries to establish merits and obtain the status of hereditary nobles.

It's a pity that Soros chose to rely on the mercenary group to kill orcs and make merits.

And Howard surrendered to Lady Holland, the favorite concubine of King Charles.

If Prince Felix can inherit the throne, with the support of the king, he will certainly have no shortage of opportunities to make meritorious deeds, and it will be easy for him to become a hereditary noble.

If he is capable, seizes opportunities well, and has a deep family background, with the support of the king, he can even become a hereditary earl, like Count Martins, and become an important member of this country.

The success of a big man depends on his own efforts, but also on opportunities and fate.

What is your identity when you are born? Where are you born and raised? Who do you come into contact with? It determines the fate of most people.

If he really becomes a hereditary earl, the Lien family will be proud of Howard.

In the battle just now, Howard already knew that Richard was a magician and martial artist. He also guessed a little about Simon Wimble's secret plan.

Although Simon Wimble is their commander and they are both illegitimate children, Howard looks down on him very much.

Howard has a rough and cheerful personality, while Simon is cruel and gloomy.

Moreover, Simon deliberately let Howard's brother consume Richard's mental power, which is too insidious.

If it weren't for the hope of becoming a hereditary noble, Howard would have turned against him and joined forces with Richard to besiege Simon.

Now the mercenaries under Howard's command are still under Simon's command, and he is willing to consume Richard's mental power for the sake of the overall situation.

According to his estimation, Richard used two powerful magics and consumed seven points of mental power.

Considering Richard's age, he is at most a three-ring magician.

The mental power of an average three-ring magician is only fourteen points. If Richard uses another magic, Simon will probably kill him.

Once Richard dies, the soldiers' fighting will will be weakened a lot.

Once the army loses its morale and collapses, it will be slaughtered immediately.

Howard has participated in many battles and knows very well that the casualties of the army are usually the greatest when retreating. Both armies are wearing iron armor in front of the battle, but it is difficult to kill people.

Richard came over with a two-handed heavy sword and fought fiercely with Howard.

The weapons of both sides are enchanted weapons, weighing up to dozens of kilograms. The weapons in the hands of ordinary soldiers will not exceed ten kilograms.

The weapon was too heavy to be wielded on the battlefield.

The two weapons collided, like a thunderclap. He could not help but take a few steps back.

Howard fought with Richard, but he did not gain the upper hand.

Normally, the strength of a fifth-level warrior is about 14 points. Howard's talent is better than that of ordinary people. According to Richard's estimation, his strength has reached 16 points after he was promoted to the fifth level. Even if such a person does not practice breathing, he is naturally strong.

However, Richard and William, father and son, have better talents. They are born strongmen and have four times the strength of ordinary people.

Although Richard is only at the fourth level, his strength exceeds that of his uncle Soros. Although he is slightly worse than Howard, the gap is already negligible.

Like Soros, Howard has practiced the family breathing method.

The family breathing method of the baron nobles basically comes from the founder of the family.

To be promoted to a baron, you must have military merits, and being a captain in the army is the standard. Most of the first-generation barons have a professional level of more than five.

Even though Richard's warrior level was lower, he practiced both magic and martial arts. Because of his outstanding talent, the physical attributes of a fourth-level warrior were enough to compete with fifth- and sixth-level warriors.

Richard became a hereditary baron by taking advantage of the heavy catapult blueprint to exchange for three great merits. His father William and his wife Sophia also merged their merits for him.

Before the death of the first generation of barons, they often passed on the breathing method they practiced to their descendants.

Such breathing methods can be practiced to a high level. The breathing method treasured by Howard's Lien family can be practiced to the seventh level.

The breathing method of the Dark family where Soros is can be practiced to the eighth level.

The Silver Wolf Breathing Method collected by Richard from the Stopa family is considered to be a relatively poor one, and can only be practiced to the fifth level.

The reason is also very simple. The first generation of Stopa Baron was only a sixth-level warrior. He accumulated enough merits at the age of 78 and became a hereditary noble.

The copies of the breathing method that were copied by heart were damaged, and the descendants could only be promoted to the fifth level.

Richard and Soros joined forces, and Howard was immediately under great pressure.

The two sides fought for several minutes, and the two armies were getting closer and closer.

The sound of military drums and horns rang out, and the soldiers raised their spears and got closer and closer.

Because Richard and his five men used long-range enchanted bows to shoot and kill more than fifty mercenaries, the morale of the mercenaries was even lower.

After the two sides approached, they fired many arrows and lost some people.

Before the battle, Norman had asked civilians to drive the carriages and hide in the back. More than a dozen iron-horned horses had been trained by humans for many years and could already serve as mounts.

Norman selected more than a dozen veterans from the Sixth Squadron and prepared to let them ride the iron-horned horses as cavalry.

Ordinary people in the Northern Frontier can ride horses.

Although it was the first time to ride a Warcraft mount, the full power of the Warcraft horse could not be exerted, but the impact of the Warcraft horse was still far greater than that of the infantry.

The commander of this cavalry was Kent, the son of my uncle Soros.

Although there were more than 260 mercenaries, they could not break the army formation of 130 people in the Sixth Squadron.

Once the two sides were in a stalemate.

The mercenaries in the capital had never fought a hard battle and could not stop the private army of the nobles in the Northern Frontier.

Seeing that the mercenaries' positions had loosened, Kent felt that the opportunity had arrived and immediately led the cavalry to charge from behind.

Seeing the Warcraft horse rushing over, they all used the horns on their heads to launch energy missiles.

More than a dozen missiles were fired, killing and injuring more than 30 mercenaries at once.

Such a cruel scene instantly crushed the mercenaries' fighting spirit, and they immediately scattered like ducks being driven away.

The mercenaries were defeated and scattered, and the rest was very simple. The veterans cooperated with the professionals to deal with the mercenary leaders.

The recruits led the civilians to chase the defeated soldiers, capture prisoners, and collect spoils.

Kent led his knights to hold the line and defeat the enemies who dared to resist.

Simon Wimble, who was hiding in the dark, never showed up.
