The war with the Upper Green Forest came very suddenly.
During the Month of Green Banyan Rebirth, Aaron was training his cannon fodder subordinates when one of his father's knights, Turner Shawlien, rode over on a warhorse and shouted, "The Davis family has launched an attack. His Lordship orders you to head to Black Crow Dune immediately!"
"Yes, sir!"
Aaron pounded his chest with his fist, looked at his subordinates who were still confused, and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Go equip yourselves immediately, we're going to war! "
As soon as he said this, the expressions of all the cannon fodder did not look good.
However, after these days of training and obedience, at least they knew who they should listen to. With the supervision of Sanchez, Green, and the other team leaders, they quickly calmed down.
"Sir!"
At this moment, Eight Fingers came to Aaron's side. He was wearing a worn-out iron helmet that he had found somewhere. Apart from that, he did not have any other protective equipment on his body. Under his beard, there seemed to be a hint of bitterness on his face. "Can we … win?"
"We must win!"
Aaron replied in a low voice. As a member of the Sotos family, if they were defeated, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At this thought, he could not help but secretly curse his own cheat code even more.
During this period of time, after entering the dream every day and increasing his energy, or rather mysterious units, he had strengthened the power of his consciousness in the dream.
At the very least, he could move faster and sense more.
However … in the real world, Aaron did not even feel a little more energetic …
Indeed, it was very difficult to bring the power in the dream into this world.
Suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Alan led his team to the Black Crow Dune.
This dune was located at the border between the Upper Green Forest and the Lower Green Forest, surrounded by a barren land of no value. It would not be a waste to use it as a battlefield.
'But the timing is a little strange!'
Aaron thought to himself as he looked at the farmland on both sides of the road.
The Green Forest people's method of measuring time was still very primitive. They only vaguely divided a year into more than ten months according to the growth of plants.
Why did he say that it was more than ten months …? Because this month was a blur.
According to Aaron's understanding, it was probably because there was a problem with the timing, resulting in a huge error. It had reached the point where it could not even adjust the leap years and leap months, so the number of months in each year was uncertain. Everything followed nature, especially the state of the [Green Banyan Tree Grandmother].
In Sotos's territory, there was a green banyan tree that was designated as the Divine Tree. The month was determined according to the state of the banyan tree.
Of course, because the banyan tree was an evergreen plant, it didn't have any leaves, so autumn in Sotos' territory was a very vague concept …And now, it was spring, the time when all living things grew!
In ancient times, it was farming season!
The two Feudal Lords had less than a hundred soldiers on standby, and they needed to recruit militia for war. If this continued, it would delay production, and there would definitely be a famine in the coming year!
The Davis family shouldn't be that stupid, right? Or … did they store a lot of food in advance, so they want to provoke the Sotos family into going to war in spring? If they delay the sowing until next year, the Sotos family will collapse without a fight? '
This can also explain why they were the first to start the war …
Aaron thought of this and felt a chill in his heart. He knew that the Davis family also had a desire and plan for a complete green forest.
…
Black Crow Dune.
At this time, it was divided into two major areas, the north and the south, with military camps stationed there.
According to Aaron's estimation, Sotos had sent out about 1,800 soldiers this time, while the Davis family had sent close to 2,000!
"This is indeed not a village fight over wild boar. It's at least a village fight!"
Aaron wore refined leather armor, walked through the various camps, and entered the large tent.
Theodore and Colin were both wearing fine armor, and there were a few knights behind them. When they saw him enter, they all revealed smiles.
"Father!"
Aaron stood straight with a firm expression on his face as he pounded his chest with his fists.
"This is your first time participating in a war. Follow Knight Alfred, and he will teach you well."
Theodore did not push his son to his death. He pointed at a knight with slightly white hair who held a huge meteor hammer.
"I'll follow your orders."
Aaron knew that this old knight had been on the battlefield for a long time and had rich experience. Although being by his side was not as good as being by Theodore's side as Colin, it was still relatively safe.
…
Woo!
Aaron followed Knight Alfred to a slightly higher area of the dune amidst the bleak sound of the bugle horn.
Nearly four thousand people formed two different military formations, forming a huge battlefield around the sand dune. The dark green and blue flags seemed to divide the land into two camps.
Among them, the Sotos family's flag had a dark green base, and there was a forked banyan symbol on it.As for the Davis family's emblem, it was a single vertical eye.
"Remember, this is your first time on the battlefield. Don't panic. Remember your family's motto," Alfred instructed as he glanced at Aaron.
"Unwavering!"
Aaron recited his family's motto, recalling the Davis family's motto — See through everything.
"Very good, Let's start!"
Alfred said calmly.
At this moment, Aaron saw that the enemy's
military formation began to move slowly.
At the front were similarly ragged peasant soldiers with old weapons. They looked panicked as they were driven by the regular soldiers and knights behind them to attack the Sotos family!
"Listen to my orders, archers, fire!"
In the middle of the military formation, Mark, who was in charge of the archers, roared and waved his hand.
A rain of arrows fell, hitting many unlucky soldiers. They fell to the ground, some of them not having their vitals pierced and were still wailing in pain.
But it was useless! Their comrades behind them were swept up and trampled directly over their bodies. Soon, there were no more sounds coming from them.
Rumble!
When the two armies charged, there might only be a few rounds of arrows before the two armies converged like a torrent.
"Charge!"
Alfred roared as he mounted his warhorse. Together with his armor, he was like a moving metal fortress.
Aaron's position was on the right flank of the Sotos family. He ordered, "Charge formation, forward! Forward! "
Although there was fear in the eyes of Eight Fingers and the other captains, they still carried out the order very well. This small team of dozens of people became a part of the battle.
Rumble!
Aaron charged forward for a distance. Suddenly, his vision darkened, and a touch of blue appeared in front of him.
The enemy had appeared!
"Kill!"
He brandished the cross sword in his hand and slashed down without hesitation.
The militia opposite him was originally just a farmer. Even after a few days of training, he still had the courage to kill. His eyes were filled with ruthlessness, but his equipment was too poor. The grass fork was directly cut in half by the cross sword. His upper body was also cut diagonally, and his intestines spilled all over the ground.
'I miscalculated!'
Aaron withdrew his long sword and assumed a defensive posture. He was vigilant of the enemies in all directions. He frowned slightly. 'I don't need to use a cross sword to deal with these militia without protective equipment. I need to conserve my energy … regardless of whether I'm retreating or pursuing!'
