Start as Inherited Baroness

Not long after, the soldiers of the Sword Legion advanced to a certain distance, and the archers behind them began to shoot arrows.

Thousands of arrows fell like rain in the formation of the Green Forest Brothers Army.

Suddenly, waves of miserable wails resounded through the sky.

The soldiers of the Green Forest Brothers Army were equipped with uneven equipment. Some had large shields and some had small shields, which made it difficult to protect them comprehensively, so many people were hit by arrows.

After several rounds of arrow rain, their formation was in turmoil, and many officers shouted loudly to boost morale.

Simon was a little further behind, watching carefully, and judging in his heart that if this bandit army really deployed its formation to fight them, it would have no chance of winning.

The gap was not ordinary.

Prince Feddy's fall was too pathetic. If it were not for this swampy terrain, more than 2,000 cavalry would have come and gone like the wind and harvested at will.

"Kill!"

After more than a dozen rounds of arrow rain, the shield spearmen of the Sword Legion began to advance slowly and fight with the people of the Green Forest Brothers Army.

Their side was in the swamp, their movements were limited, and their physical strength was consumed more.

However, they were well-trained, well-armed, and strong in armor.

After the two sides fought on the front line for more than ten minutes, many people in the Green Forest Brothers Army were injured and fell to the ground.

The losses of the Sword Legion were much smaller, and the iron armor on the soldiers resisted a lot of damage.

At this time, the lord's army attacking from both wings also arrived at the front line and fought with the Green Forest Brothers Army with uneven quality.

The most powerful was the Vanguard Regiment, which only took a few minutes to get out of the swamp and attack the shore.

"As expected of the lord's personal guards, they have good combat effectiveness." Simon smiled lightly.

"My lord, you see, the Sword Legion has also attacked the other side." At this time, Mai Lan pointed to the front battlefield and reminded.

"Well, if we had been so steady earlier, we would have won earlier." Simon nodded and continued to watch the battle.

About half an hour later, the Green Forest Brothers Army couldn't stand it anymore and issued an order to retreat.

Suddenly, the army was defeated and the crowd fled.

The Sword Legion and the Lord's Army chased for a few miles and then stopped to rest.

Simon and others also came to the other side through the solid dirt road in the middle of the swamp.

The ground here was scarlet, with piles of corpses and a bloody smell.

He looked around and estimated that three to four thousand soldiers died in this battle, with casualties of about one to three.

Three people killed in the Green Forest Brothers Army could kill one soldier on their side.

"My Lord Viscount! Fortunately, we have won this battle!" Trodo came to report to him with blood on his body.

"Well! We fought well, especially the Vanguard Regiment.

You can divide the spoils of this battle."

Simon nodded and said with satisfaction.

"Thank you, my Lord!" Trodo responded indifferently and took people to clean up the battlefield.

This Green Forest Brotherhood Army didn't have much to gain. Apart from a weapon, there were few soldiers wearing leather armor.

Their relatively strong fully armored army was placed in the center of the army to fight against the Sword Legion.

Simon looked around and looked at the corpses on the ground. He felt that they were basically trained refugees.

He shook his head secretly and thought, "Look at the calluses on their hands. They used to be good at farming. What a pity."

At this time, the sound of the horn rang again.

Simon looked up at the source of the sound and found that the Sword Legion had rested for a few minutes and then started to attack again.

"My Lord Viscount! Commander Ravens has issued an order to pursue the victory!" At this time, a herald came to convey the order.

"Okay, chase them and kill them!" Simon nodded slightly when he heard the words, and then drew his sword and shouted.

"Yes! Kill!"

The people of the Vanguard and other lords' armies followed the Sword Legion and trotted forward.

Simon, with the somewhat chaotic formation of the West Guard Corps and the Guards, followed behind at a distance.

He felt a little uneasy in his heart. After all, as the saying goes, don't chase after a desperate enemy, and the terrain here is full of valleys, which is easy to bury ambushes.

After chasing for half an hour, Simon looked at the terrain in front and suddenly shouted: "Stop chasing!"

Mai Lan and others heard the words and ran to call for orders. Soon, the soldiers of the West Guard and the Guards stopped.

The Guards were fine, and they were all in high spirits.

The physical fitness of the soldiers of the West Guard was much worse. They were all panting, and some even sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

The terrain ahead was no longer relatively flat, but hills rising from the flat ground, and only the valleys between the mountains were passable.

"Ravens can't not even understand this? Still chasing? It's easy to be ambushed!"

Simon was surprised and didn't understand what the commander was singing. The results were good, and it was time to rest.

"Rest for half an hour, then move forward, be alert!" he ordered.

"Yes! Lord Viscount!" Mailan heard the words and went to convey the order.

Ai Lei and others led some soldiers to establish a temporary defense line.

Simon was riding on the Red Flame Horse and had nothing to do. He looked around and found that there were many bodies of soldiers from the Green Forest Brothers Army scattered on the ground.

Some of them were wearing iron armor and chain mail.

"Hey! Mailan, go and take off their armor, it's not a small amount if you put them together." He smiled.

"Yes! Lord!" Mailan and others heard the words and immediately went to collect them.

Soon, a poor soldier not far from Simon was stripped of his armor.

This is a set of good-quality iron light armor, which looks relatively new. It may have been robbed from the long narrow fort or the weapons dealer.

But after a moment, Simon's expression was stern, he turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the corpse.

"Sir?" Mai Lan looked at him with some doubt.

Simon squatted down and carefully observed the corpse, then reached out to touch the man's neck and took out a copper pendant.

"Huh? Isn't this cross mark the symbol of the Holy Spirit Church?

Do the rebel soldiers have the leisure to wear this..." Simon murmured.

After that, he came to another corpse of a soldier of the Green Forest Brotherhood and found that there was no decoration on this neck.

This person's equipment was also relatively poor, just cloth armor with a low-quality spear.

Simon went to the corpse not far away to check. This one's equipment was good, exactly the same as the previous one, a set of iron light armor.

"Hey! This one has it too! The style is the same, the same pendant..." He frowned and said in his heart.

"Mailan, search these bodies carefully to see how many of these pendants there are."

Simon threw the copper cross pendant to him and ordered.

"Yes! Sir!" Mailan took the order seriously and left.

After a while, he came back and reported: "Sir, we found seventeen pendants of the same type, and their owners were all well equipped..."

Simon listened carefully and felt a chill in his heart. He thought to himself: "Could this Green Forest Brotherhood still be related to the Holy Spirit Church?

But the Holy Spirit Church is already very weak, how can it still stir up trouble?"
