The palace of the city lord of Xituo City.

"Your Highness, the sentry has just returned to report that there is no unusual movement among the Tingxiao people today. It seems that after last night's battle, these people have become much more honest." Feng Yu said with a smile.

"The city guard worked hard during last night's battle." Onian said calmly.

"Where, where. The princess is really ashamed of her humble position. If she could have killed the general earlier, Her Highness would not have been put in danger." Feng Yuan said with shame.

"No one could have imagined that those Tingxiao people spent so much money to even use the magic potion 'Jin Ye Xing'." Lai Wu comforted.

"Now that they all know His Highness's identity, it's a bit strange that they didn't launch a large-scale attack." Alvin said.

"Is it possible that you are afraid of being beaten by us?" Chen Zhu said with a smile.

"After a quick glance on the airship this morning, there should be more than 20,000 Tingxiao people at the bottom of the mountain." Lai Wu said, "They should not give up so easily."

"It seems that we should not be careless." Onian said solemnly.

"Report! Urgent military situation, Tingxiao people down the mountain are taking action!" At this time, a sergeant rushed in from outside to report.

"What's going on, tell me quickly!" Feng Yuan said quickly.

"Ting Xiao and a group of troops at the bottom of the mountain are fighting. The flag looks like His Majesty's Royal Cavalry." The sergeant quickly replied.

Feng Yuan turned around and glanced at the princess on the main seat. Onian stood up immediately, leaving everyone behind and walked quickly outside.

"Let's go and take a look." Feng Yu followed immediately.

The princess walked outside the court. As soon as the staff dropped, the person was already floating in the air. Before anyone could walk out of the house, the figure had already passed over Xi Tuo City, crossed the towering city wall, and flew directly to the foot of the mountain.

Feng Yuan was afraid that the princess would make another mistake, so he climbed to the roof of the city lord's palace in two steps, jumped over the rooftops of private houses, and followed the princess closely.

"Let's raise the airship first, and you can go chase the princess." Lai Wu glanced at Alvin and said.

Alvin nodded, and after the levitation technique, the sky split, and the figure was already a hundred steps away.

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------

Originally, these Tingxiao people at the foot of the mountain planned to launch a new round of offensive against Xituo City in the afternoon after repairing for a whole morning. After all, after learning that the amazing female magician was Princess Onian of the Yafei Empire, the originally demoralized Tingxiao people suddenly regained their fighting spirit. The leaders of the mercenary groups, large and small, began to discuss how to extort ransom after capturing the princess alive, and how to distribute the ransom after receiving it. The greed and optimism of these Tingxiao people are really admirable.

But before noon, the sound of iron hoofbeats could be heard on the provincial road connecting Xituo City and Newin City. When these Tingxiao people came out of the camp, they were shocked to see that they were the royal cavalry of the Yafei Empire. Now they were even more convinced of the identity of the female magician.

When Tingxiao's mercenaries saw that the Yafei royal cavalry only had 10,000 troops, they didn't take it seriously. They did not plan to hold on to the camp, but chose to fight these Yafei reinforcements on the wide provincial road.

So the two armies faced each other, and a war was about to break out.

"Brother Nanton, these Tingxiao people look very miscellaneous, don't they?" Duke Jishan glanced at these Tingxiao people in formation from a distance.

"If it's not a mixed bag, why can't 40 or 50,000 people defeat the city of Siduo with 5,000 defenders?" Duke Nanton said with a sneer, "After all, they are just mercenaries, so they have no fighting power."

"That's right." Jiu Shan nodded.

"Let's go, charge into the formation!" A trace of murderous intent flashed across Duke Nanton's face, and then he shouted loudly to the entire army: "Soldiers of the empire, it's time to make these Tingxiao people pay the price for their ignorance of life and death! "

"Roar! Roar! Roar!" These royal cavalry, who had been running around for a day and night, showed no sign of fatigue and still roared like a mountain torrent. Obviously, these 10,000 spears are already hungry and thirsty.

"Kill!" Duke Nanton shouted and rushed out first, followed closely by Duke Jisugi. Two veterans over fifty years old, chatting like crazy, took the lead and rushed to the forefront.

Seeing the bravery of the two coaches, the Royal Iron Knights became even more energetic.

The people in Tingxiao couldn't help but want to retreat when they saw the tens of thousands of horses galloping and the roaring mountains and tsunami. The cavalrymen were so frightened that they had no choice but to face them bravely.

As soon as they clashed, the approximately 5,000 Tingxiao cavalry were instantly overwhelmed and split into two groups in the middle. The Tingxiao infantry in the back row were immediately affected. Although they had giant shields in their hands and had already set up their formation, they were unable to withstand the high-speed impact of the Sapporo horses, and the entire front collapsed instantly.

At this time, Onian, Alvin and Feng Yu also arrived on the hillside, watching the battle at the foot of the mountain from a height.

"Your Highness, do you need to humble yourself and lead the defenders out of the city to annihilate the enemy? This is a great opportunity for the two armies to attack the Tingxiao people." Feng Yu looked at the battle and quickly asked for instructions.

"Then it's up to the city guard." Onian nodded.

Feng Yu took the order and left. After all, this was a great opportunity to fight for victory, and he naturally couldn't let it go. Just like Laiwu, the airship has been lifted into the air and is heading towards the hillside at full speed.

"The regular army is different when it comes to fighting. These Tingxiao mercenaries are no match for them." Alvin sighed as he looked at the chaotic formations of the Tingxiao people down the mountain.

"I'll just take a look at how the Maine elite trained by Prince Reza fight in a while. Yesterday I only saw them defending the city. Now I can see how they look like when they charge." Onian said.

"It's a pity that the mountain road has been destroyed, so we probably won't be able to rush up." Alvin said calmly.

While the two were talking, the airship of the Quartet mercenary group finally arrived.

"Let's go down the mountain and kill the people of Tingxiao." Lai Wu called out to the two people on the hillside from the airboat.

Alvin looked at Onian with a smile, and saw her blinking her eyes thoughtfully. He took the girl's cold hands, and the two figures jumped into the air.

The airship did not stop and headed directly over the battlefield on the provincial highway.

"All martial artists, please give me a bright look with your eyes, aim your bow and crossbow before firing, don't hurt your own people, do you understand?" Laiwu had already begun to give orders to the martial artists on the deck.

"Magics, I don't need to say more. These Tingxiao people at the foot of the mountain are now targets. Use all kinds of magic and be careful not to hurt these royal knights." Alvin also began to command the magicians. Combat.

"Lai Wu, I seem to have seen your father." Chen Zhu suddenly said while looking at the fierce battlefield below.

Kaiba followed Chen Zhu's gaze and said, "Don't say it, it's true."

"Ha, Lai Wu, your father is quite capable. With regard to his martial arts skills, I feel like you are not as good as him as a son." Alvin also looked over and saw Duke Nanton's sword coming in and out. He killed a Tingxiao mercenary with a very neat technique, so he teased Lai Wu.

"Yes, I think your father is better than your kid." Chen Zhu also joined in the mocking of Lai Wu.

"What do you mean? You are mocking me collectively?" Lai Wu said amusedly, "Okay, you want me to go down and show off my skills?"

"Hey, why do I feel like you're scared?" Alvin laughed.

"Ha." Laiwu sneered, and then shouted to the steering wheel: "Langyun, lower the airship a little, and let me lead the people down."

At this time, Langyun was driving the airship. After the quarrel in the morning, Kui Qing locked herself in the room. However, Langyun has been learning from others in the past few days, and now he can drive alone.

So the airship dropped a few feet, enough for the martial artists to jump off the deck without being injured.

"Come on, brothers, follow me!" Lai Wu roared, and the flag of the Quartet Mercenary Group in his hand was thrown with all his strength, and it was firmly inserted into the charred black soil, and then he The first one jumped down and entered the chaotic battle group.

"Don't be anxious. Follow up one by one, fifty by fifty. Don't be anxious by those behind." Xia Ye directed the order on the deck.

"We're going down too, but we can't let Lai Wu stand out alone." Kaiba and Chen Zhu said to Alvin, and both of them flew down with murderous expressions on their faces.

"The magicians and crossbowmen are all on fire, be careful to cover our close combat martial arts." Alvin directed the remaining people on the airship while looking at the battle situation below.

The Tingxiao people, whose formation was originally in disarray, were locked in a bitter battle with Yafei Royal Cavalry. When they saw the ghostly airship appearing above them, their hearts went cold.

All kinds of magic fell from the sky and exploded in the area where Tingxiao mercenaries gathered. Although these meteor fires and electric shocks were not comparable to Onian's earth-shattering posture, they were enough to make these Tingxiao people drink a pot.

Although the more than 20,000 Tingxiao people had a numerical advantage, facing the well-formed royal cavalry, these numerical advantages could not be used at all. Coupled with the continuous magic bombing from the air, the situation was almost one-sided at this time.

But at this moment, things that made these Tingxiao people desperate happened one after another. High-pitched shouts of killing broke out from the mountain. It was obviously the defenders of Xituo City who came out of the city.

Perhaps at this moment, the leaders of these Tingxiao mercenaries will regret that their greed has driven them to a dead end. If only they had ordered a retreat when they saw the 10,000 Yafei reinforcements. In that case, they would only be defeated by these The cavalry chased for a while, but the whole army would not be wiped out under the city of Xituo.

However, money can't buy it. I already knew it.

"Attention, those Maine defenders are coming down the mountain." Alvin said to Onian beside him.

"Yeah. Just look at it." Onian looked at these neatly dressed Maine elites. Taking advantage of the high sight of the airship, she was unwilling to let go of any detail.

The mountain road was blown up by Onian's magic yesterday. It was full of potholes and rugged, but it didn't seem to be a problem at all for these Maine elites. I saw that they were all strong and healthy, and their steps were unhurried. Walking on flat ground, the marching speed was not affected at all.

"These elite men from Maine follow Prince Ressa to fight in the Traledi Mountains all day long. This is nothing to them." Onian expected this situation.

The Tingxiao people who had been beaten so hard that they were running away now were completely desperate. Looking at the tiger and wolf warriors running down the mountain, their faces were ashen.

The formation on the rear side of Tingxiao's mercenaries began to retreat after encountering such a strong insertion. A group of mercenaries leaning on the northeast had begun to run away regardless of the life or death of their companions.

"Look, have you never seen the formation of these Maine elites?" Onian reminded.

Alvin looked at it carefully and was quite surprised. These Maine sergeants formed teams of eight and fought in small units. One team consists of two giant shield bearers, four spearmen, and two crossbowmen. Eight people fought together, with two giant shield bearers guarding the front, four spearmen guarding both sides of the team, and two crossbowmen at the end of the team. Once in contact with the enemy, the giant shield bearers immediately retreated to both sides of the team and replaced themselves with long gunmen to rush forward. The two crossbowmen hid behind the giant shields and waited for opportunities to shoot crossbow arrows to kill the enemy. The crossbow, which could only be used at long range, was actually used in close combat. Alvin had to admire Prince Reza's imagination. And looking at these crossbow arrows with a strange ink glow, they are obviously coated with some kind of magic potion. Once those Tingxiao mercenaries were hit by the crossbow arrows, they went crazy and began to hack and kill their own people.

"Don't tell me, these Maine sergeants don't even have any wounded in such a close-quarters battle. The team combat mode developed by Prince Reza is really quite impressive." Alvin sighed in surprise. road.

"Not only that, haven't you noticed that the martial arts skills of these Maine soldiers are terrifyingly high? Even my father's royal cavalry pales in comparison to them." Onian said with a frown.

Alvin couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

At this time, in the battle below, Nanton and his son were already fighting.

"Father, you didn't come here specifically to save me, did you?" Laiwu stabbed and then turned back with a sword, and the two Tingxiao mercenaries became dead souls under the sword.

"I came to relieve the siege of Xituo City under His Majesty's military order. What does this have to do with you?" Duke Nanton said seriously. He swung the long sword in his hand and pierced the thigh of a Tingxiao mercenary.

"I'm just telling you, why are you so kind?" Lai Wu said sarcastically with a wry smile.

The two looked at each other and then began to massacre Tingxiao's mercenaries.

Under the joint attack of the royal cavalry, the defenders of Xituo City, and the mercenary group from all directions, it was only after noon, and the encirclement and suppression of the Tingxiao people on the provincial road had come to an end. In fact, the more than 20,000 Tingxiao mercenaries were completely defeated without any decent resistance. Except for the more than 1,000 people who escaped, the rest were wiped out. Some Tingxiao mercenary leaders saw that the situation was one-sided and wanted to surrender, but Duke Nanton refused to accept it.

After this battle, the main force of Tingxiao's mercenary army was completely wiped out, and the war on the Yaofan coastline came to an end.
