Chapter 343: Church Armed Forces Occupy the Training Manor

Seeing this, the scouts were all in high spirits and full of fighting spirit. When the enemy approached within effective shooting range, they all displayed their superb shooting skills and achieved success.

In this fierce battle, even if the shot missed a little, it would often hit other targets, because the enemy soldiers on the rafts were crowded together, greatly increasing the probability of hitting.

Even if they occasionally hit other targets, the scouts knew in their hearts that they had not hit the intended target, and they took this as a warning and constantly adjusted their mentality and shooting skills, striving to hit the target as much as possible.

Accurate shooting ability is often one of the key factors in determining victory or defeat. Accurate strikes have always been the goal pursued by soldiers.

In this battle of crossing the river, the scouts were well aware of this. They continued to hone their skills and never missed any opportunity to improve themselves, just to play the greatest role on the battlefield.

Jean Tocque was fully focused, his eyes sharp as torches, and he concentrated on shooting the more than 40 arrows he carried with him to kill as many enemies as possible.

The four to six jin of matching arrowheads were already too heavy for the mount to carry. However, with his superb skills and resolute determination, this round of shooting caused thirty-nine casualties.

Although the enemies on the raft seemed defenseless in front of him and the shooting difficulty was relatively easy, Jean Toc was still not satisfied with his achievements.

The arrowheads the warriors were equipped with weighed about three pounds, which was a bit light in comparison. Nevertheless, in this fierce battle, their performance was still remarkable.

In an instant, a large number of corpses appeared on the river surface, which was shocking. In order to avoid being surrounded and counterattacked by the enemy, they quickly emptied their arrowheads and retreated quickly.

You know, some enemy soldiers have landed and are rushing towards the scouts' position...

Arrowheads are limited, so we cannot fight too long. After all, each person carries a limited number of arrowheads, and there are not many of them, so we cannot suppress the opponent in all directions.

Once all the arrowheads are used up, they will be in an extremely dangerous situation. When the arrows are gone, the scouts will immediately choose to evacuate without hesitation. The frontal battle is the business of others, and their mission is over.

As for how many enemies were shot and killed, let's not worry about it for now. But it must be said that this unexpected show of strength really made our side gain a big advantage.

This not only weakened the enemy's manpower, but more importantly, greatly undermined the enemy's morale, creating favorable conditions for subsequent defensive operations.

The soldiers quickly retreated to the castle and stood in the carefully arranged firing positions, all of them in high spirits, with determination and confidence in their eyes. From their expressions, it can be seen that they are all satisfied with their performance on the battlefield.

On the other hand, the church armed forces lost more than 2,000 people in this sudden attack.

Despite suffering such a severe blow, they began to cross the river normally without retreating.

The chaplains on the other side of the river were chanting and praying, trying to ask for the gods' blessing for the soldiers. However, there were also angry shouts from the crowd.

Some people accused their generals of poor command, while others cursed the enemy's cunning. The scene was chaotic and tense.

The church militias insisted on crossing the river even after suffering heavy losses, which may reflect their persistence and firmness in religious beliefs, believing that they were engaged in a sacred mission and could not retreat...

After listening to Jean Tocque's report, Tan Aili raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing an appreciative smile:

"Rang! You did a great job this time. You were so brave and fearless when sniping across the river. You were able to kill the enemy effortlessly. You really made great achievements! This not only greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers in the castle, but also gave everyone hope and confidence. It can be seen that the role played by our scouts on the battlefield cannot be underestimated..."

Hearing Tan Aili's praise, Jean Tocque smiled modestly and responded: "Thank you madam for your praise. In fact, we were able to achieve such a result this time only because we occupied a favorable terrain. Now, brothers should eat something to replenish their physical strength and wait for those enemies to fall into the trap and come to die..."

Tan Aili nodded slightly to show her agreement, but her eyes revealed a trace of worry, and then said: "It is not a solution to keep guarding like this, it is too tiring. It is better to take the initiative and fight a good battle. You know, if we can win this battle, then those church armed forces will never dare to provoke us easily again. Therefore, this battle is of vital importance to us, and we must go all out to win..."

However, Jean Tocque seemed a little unconvinced by this. He smiled nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry, ma'am. In my opinion, this is just a contest between magic and divine arts. Considering our current strength and preparation, it is almost impossible to lose this war. So, we just need to sit here quietly and wait for the enemy to come to our door and die."

Miss Tan Aili returned to the living room and had food brought to her. She read a book and drank a glass of wine while waiting for news in the hall. She didn't need to worry about what happened on the battlefield. At the moment, only her grandfather was left to protect her safety. The other servants were asked to support the allocation of materials in the underground space.

On a gloomy evening, the church's armed forces surged to the gate of the training manor like a tide. At this time, the dark clouds of war were gathering and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

However, everyone knew that now was not the time to loot wantonly. Once a battle broke out, this manor would become an important strategic stronghold.

So the commander ordered the troops to quickly occupy the manor and set up camp on the spot, preparing to rest for a night in preparation for the upcoming fierce battle.

As a result, the training manor was already empty, causing the church armed forces to have a false alarm.

After occupying the camp, the pastors began to visit it. As they walked, they looked at the surrounding buildings and facilities with amazement in their eyes.

Although the training camp is small, it has all the necessary facilities, which is amazing. The priests know that if it can be preserved intact, it will play a huge role in training more excellent soldiers in the future.

Therefore, even though they loved it, they were reluctant to destroy it easily. After all, after the war was won, it could accommodate at least 3,000 soldiers for training!

When they occupied the knights' kitchen, they found that the food inside had already been emptied out, not even a grain of food was left.

This made the priests frown, but they were soon relieved. After all, in such a war period, the enemy knew that they could not defend it, so it was impossible for them to leave food for them.

Fortunately, apart from the food, other facilities were well preserved. Whether it was the training ground, dormitory or arsenal, everything was satisfactory.
