Meeting with the soldiers left behind, it''s a little dim the day after tomorrow.


    The season is already a bit of summer. The days are longer and the nights are shorter.


    When the team went back, it was about six o''clock in the afternoon. There was a red glow in the sky, but it was still bright all around. One of the soldiers of the general guard who stayed at home was slightly injured. Because he forgot to leave anthelmintic powder for them, one of the soldiers seemed to have been stung by some poisonous insect during the night watch and had a big swelling on his leg near his bare foot.


    In the dense forest, there are many such poisonous insects. Although they are not fatal, they are prone to wound infection and fever after being bitten.


    Therefore, almost all wild adventurers will carry some antidotes on them.


    The wounded soldier made a cross with a dagger at the wound, then released poisonous blood and sprinkled some holy water. By the time Murphy and others came back, he had regained his mobility.


    Holy water in the territory is a strategic reserve resource, and Murphy does not intend to sell it.


    Now, as we enter a period of peaceful development, the demand in the territory is not very large, and there is a surplus every day. But if there is a large-scale war, then the holy water is basically not enough.


    When they went back, they didn''t need to save the strength of the horses. They let go and drove all night.


    Here we must briefly talk about the terrain within 100 kilometers of the territory, because it is located in the southern plain. The terrain in the territory is gentle. Except for the occasional hills and slopes, it is all plain areas covered with grass. But also because of the connection with the karazan mountains, the southeast of the territory is a dense forest, which used to be a towering mountain range.


    In front of the karazan mountains, behind is the nidoria river.


    To put it simply, the territory is like an inverted bowl, on which are the hard mountain roads formed by the karazan mountains, and behind which are the spacious rivers of the nidoria river.


    There is only one exit between the two faults in the mountains. The good point is that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The hard point is that it is not easy to enter and it is not easy to go out. This is also the reason why it was abandoned by human city states. Because of the terrain, if there is a war here, it is impossible to mobilize troops from the rear for support in a short period of time, unless a fleet is organized to transport troops from the nidoria river.


    But in this way, the battle line will be lengthened, and the city-state will send its soldiers to an inverted bowl to fight against the jackals!


    This is absolutely something the aristocratic Council does not want to face.


    So when the jackals invaded a year ago, the aristocratic Council of the human city-state resolutely abandoned it.


    On the west side of the territory is the nidoria river. On the other side of the nidoria river is a flat terrain, but in the past is the barren rock highland. It''s a scattered place for goblins. It''s the Salma basin where centaurs live. These cunning creatures are very annoying. They are far more difficult to deal with than the Kobold. In this way, the pace of human expansion to the West had to stop, not because of the goblins, but because of the fear of those Centaur tribes.


    Human beings are still in awe of this kind of species that was born as cavalry and archery talent is only under the elves.


    Born cavalry with bow and arrow expertise.


    At the present level of human civilization, it is almost a living target to be on the right track.


    "Your Highness, there is a battle ahead!" Galloping in the front of the cavalry suddenly turned the horse, came to Murphy''s side, sink.


    "Stop!"


    A horse''s neighing, galloping team suddenly stopped.


    Murphy took two guards up a high slope and looked at a forest not far away.


    Sure enough, someone is fighting!


    At this time, the sky has been dim, but the moon has risen, there are not many clouds in the sky, it does not affect the vision.


    It''s the humans who are besieged, and the attackers are Murphy''s old opponent, the Jackal!


    "Let''s go and have a look." Murphy raised his hand, and the knight of the general''s guard immediately followed.


    The terrain here is gentle, and with the speed advantage of horses, Murphy is not afraid to be surrounded by these jackals. At present, only the mercenary and jackal clans will fight in the territory. Now that I have met you, I have to go and have a look.


    About 300 meters from the battlefield, Murphy stopped with the Knights of the general guard.


    "It''s them!" Murphy was a little surprised, but he didn''t expect these people to be besieged by the jackals.


    It''s a puccian!


    The number of people besieged was about 80, most of them injured. There were about 150 jackals besieging them, most of them were females. Murphy only saw a few tall males.


    As the battle begins to glue, the puccians contract into a circle for defense, keeping their seriously injured companions in the circle, while the jackals surround them. The tribe of the puccians is a bit similar to the barbarian tribe, which is made up of clan surnames one by one. The soldiers are of the same clan with a trace of blood relationship. This kind of consanguineous soldiers are very reliable, they will not easily give up their comrades in arms!


    Just as human beings will not give up their relatives.


    Because of the night, neither side found Murphy close.


    "Rest of the army!" Murphy simply judged the current situation and decided to save the puccians.


    There are two reasons. The first is that they still have more than half of their fighting capacity. Second, the number of jackals is not too much, and there are few males with strong fighting capacity. The most important point is that they have a night cover!


    The Mercedes Benz just now has consumed a lot of physical strength for the horses, and the soldiers also need a rest to recover their combat effectiveness.


    Murphy took out the kettle and poured it into her mouth.


    This time, there were no Greek infantry around him, only 32 general guards and javelin knights, and the melee combat effectiveness was not very considerable. Without the strong confrontation ability of the Greek founder, the only way to defeat the jackal is to rely on the mobility of the cavalry.


    When they came out, each general guard javelin cavalry carried four short javelins.


    In other words, after four rounds of javelin throwing, the cavalry had to fight hand to hand.


    To tell you the truth, Murphy is not sure that he can defeat these jackals, because if he wants to win a beautiful battle, he needs to see the war sense of the leaders of the puccians!


    The number is still too small.


    Murphy can only use the night to make the jackals have a riot for a while.


    But if you want to defeat these jackals head-on, you need the leader of the puccians to grasp the fighter plane and launch a counterattack decisively when the jackals riot!


    After that, Murphy''s cavalry can charge!


    If the other side doesn''t have such a sense of war and can''t grasp the opportunity of counterattack, Murphy can only say sorry.


    He won''t make fun of soldiers'' lives, let alone his own.


    If the other side didn''t launch a counterattack until the Jackal recovered from the riot. Murphy will run away with the cavalry of the general''s guard!


    He''s done his best.


    That''s it.
