Chapter 144, Winford Fugitive Group

In August, the midsummer season, the scorching summer wind passed through the field and tortured the army advancing on the field.

The soldiers soon drenched their clothes with sweat, and the armor of the knights and their retinues was also hot. The army had to stop and rest every time they advanced.

Ryan also stopped. He has spiritual body protection and doesn't feel the heat.

Looking up at the scorching sun hanging in the sky, the knight-errant Olivier wiped his sweat with his hand: "My Baron, isn't it too hot here?"

"Aren't you used to fighting in this kind of weather? Olivier?" Ryan stretched out his hand to express that he didn't need knights to come over to help him. The baron always led his horse and walked in the wilderness wearing a psionic armor weighing dozens of kilograms. In contrast, Hux and Olivier are much more troublesome. Whether they mount or dismount, they need the help of the knight entourage. Even with the help of the entourage, it takes a lot of effort to put on the armor.

"It's okay. As a knight, we have to overcome all kinds of weather. This little thing doesn't bother me." The young knight with a beard and firm eyes smiled optimistically: "What's the difficulty?"

Olivier is optimistic and positive by nature, and he still has an unyielding drive. Ryan likes this young man very much, so he patted the knight ranger on the shoulder: "Come on, I look forward to your performance!"

"Of course, my baron." Olivier took out the water bag and drank gulp. There is a river nearby, so the soldiers don't have to worry about water.

The soldiers also stopped to rest, and they went to fetch water from the nearby river one after another. The scene seemed a bit chaotic, but Hux immediately ordered them to fetch water in batches and arranged for manpower to stand guard.

The quality of the recruits is not high, but they are not as difficult to command as many veterans, especially Ryan, who is the Holy Grail Knight, stands in front of everyone, and the morale of the recruits is very good.

Again, the existence of a Holy Grail Knight can greatly boost the morale of the serfs and enhance their combat effectiveness.

Ryan's army was resting. On the road in the distance, there was smoke and dust everywhere, and a large number of troops came from afar.

On the high flag, a pure white Pegasus is about to fly.

It was Duke Winford's army arriving.

Connery-Marquess of Ascot, riding a pure-blood elf horse, was wearing a full set of plate armor, a beautiful kite helmet, and holding the rein in his hand. Walking with him was Suria, the daughter of the Duke of Winford. - Kumani-Antri, this heroic female knight is also wearing a set of enchanted exquisite silver plate armor. There are many beautiful patterns on the armor, which are both ornamental and practical.

Behind them are dozens of knights, then hundreds of knights, sergeants and rangers, and finally a black mass of infantry.

The Duke of Wenford sent nearly 2,000 troops this time.

"Good afternoon, Lord Ascot, Miss Suria." Ryan stood in front of his horse and greeted the two of them.

"Good afternoon! Your Excellency Ryan." The female knight's eyes lit up when she saw Ryan's appearance and the family crest of the Holy Grail in his book. She waved to Ryan, and Marquis Connery also stroked his goatee: "Ryan Your Excellency, it's really early."

"Of course you have to come earlier, it's not easy to keep everyone waiting for a long time." Ryan said sincerely.

So the two armies merged and went together to the Varemi camp.

The Varemi camp is hundreds of kilometers away from where everyone started. They will bypass the Charon Forest, go north through the Duchy of Boldero, and then arrive at the Varemi camp in the north of the Duchy of Bastogne. This camp is located in The edge of the Arden forest is the last line of defense against the Beastman war.

The army of knights will gather here, and then go to Ursen Castle located in the Arden Forest, which is Britannia's first line of defense in the Arden Forest and the largest stronghold in the forest.

Suria took out a coat of arms from her body, which was the proof given to him by Grand Duke Winford that he would lead the army to the Varemi camp.

Most of Winford's knights knew Lane,

They gave him a warm welcome, and many of them went with him to kill the bandits, and it didn't take much for him to take over the command. The whole army regrouped and marched down the road to Vale Mi camp, this process takes about six or seven days.

That night, they camped in a village in the Poldero Principality.

After dinner, the temperature outside gradually dropped. Brittany is located in the middle of the old world, and the climate is comfortable and pleasant. Even in the hottest summer, the temperature will only be high during the day, and it will be relatively cool at night.

After dinner, Ryan and his two knights were taking a walk in the wild.

Normally, the wild is a dangerous place, but for Ryan, the wild is a place to walk.

"Hex?"

"My Baron?"

"You have also seen Winford's army, what do you think?" Ryan looked at the gradually darkening sky and asked Hux, who was proficient in training.

"They are well-trained and have a fierce style. I can see burning fighting spirit in their eyes, which is relatively rare among infantry." Hux followed behind Ryan, holding the long sword at his waist Shen Sheng said.

"Is it because of the Baron's appearance?" Olivier followed on the other side of Ryan: "The appearance of the Holy Grail Knight always cheers up the soldiers."

"Maybe, but it should be more than that." Hux retorted, the ranger knight was wearing a black cross helmet, chain mail and breastplate, shaking his head: "The appearance of the baron will really cheer up the infantry , but these infantrymen will not be so fierce... Have you heard of the Winford Fugitives?"

"Winford fugitive regiment?" Olivier was introduced by Grand Duke Schulz of Marienburg. He didn't know much about it.

"The Winford Fugitive Group is famous in the south of the country, and it originated from a story." Ryan finally spoke, and he told a story from the past.

More than ten years ago, the necromancer Heinrich Kemmler and the Grand Duke Winford had an epic duel. In this tragic war, François successfully reversed the disadvantageous number Relying on the fast maneuvering detour and group charge of the knights, they defeated the undead army and expelled them from the Kingdom of Britannia.

However, something disgraceful happened on the battlefield. Some knights fled in fear of the onslaught of the undead on the battlefield, causing a battle line to collapse, and a large number of infantry were routed as a result, which almost caused the defeat of the war.

The serfs collapsed and fled in all directions. Many serfs wanted to flee back to their homes, but they were afraid of the Duke's ruling. Finally, most of the serfs decided to go to the Duke's castle and beg for the Duke's mercy.

Fortunately for them, François decided to be magnanimous to forgive the sins of these serfs. He personally gave these infantrymen the name "Fugitive Regiment", representing the shame of their desertion, and then let them continue to serve.

It is for this reason that these infantrymen, in order to repay the duke's forgiveness, fought very hard, fearless of death, and became a very fierce force.

This time, it may be to protect the safety of his daughter, Duke Winford actually sent this army.

"Fighting with them should be beneficial for us to train our own troops." Hector nodded, his face was still dry and expressionless, the knight had suffered a lot.

"It's like this, our soldiers lack training." Ryan and the two knights walked together for a while, the sky was getting dark, some monsters appeared in the field, some water ghosts crawled out of the river, but saw the Holy Grail The knight was wandering and hurried back into the water.

These monsters are more bullying than humans themselves.

"By the way, Hux, you are originally a knight of the Duchy of Le-Angoulant, you must know the Marquis of Anci better?" Ryan asked Hux again.

"Of course I know." Hux nodded, he breathed the fresh air at night, and said to Ryan and others: "The Marquis of Anxi is a relative of the current Knight King Richard. He is twenty-seven years old this year, specifically The grandnephew, that is to say, the Marquis of Anchy is the son of the daughter of His Majesty Richard's brother, and with his support, the Marquis of Anchy obtained the title of Marquis."

"Marquis, what is the title of Marquis of Your Excellency Anxi?" Ryan then asked.

"The Marquess of Glasgow, the title of Marquis newly created by His Majesty the King for his nephew and grandson, ironically, this Marquess had only twenty knights and three hundred soldiers to defend his domain, and he never stayed in the Instead, Glasgow Castle stays in Korona all day long, enjoying a good life." Hux continued: "The Marquis of Anxi has also participated in many chivalrous wars, but as the commander, he directly commanded so many armies It's the first time."

A relative of the king, young and never ruling the territory himself? Ryan frowned, and then asked, "Is there any other news about this Marquis?"

"There is news that this Marquis is pretentious, he thinks he is a very good general and commander, rather than charging on the battlefield as a knight, and there is also news that he did perform well in the tactical deduction of the Courona Knight Academy. Hux continued: "The Marquis of Anxi likes to participate in various banquets the most. In addition, it is said that the Marquis of Anxi has always been a loyal suitor of the Marquis Suria, but it is said that he is pursuing many women at the same time. "

"Then is there any result after this matter?" Ryan thought it was interesting.

"I'm not too sure about this matter, maybe you should ask Your Excellency the Marquis Suria." Hux raised his head.

Under the dark sky, two female knights were walking in a field surrounded by many knight-errants.

In addition to the Marquis Suria, who has an exquisite face and a tall figure, another heroic female knight is standing beside the Marquis. She has beautiful purple pupils and wears a full set of knight armor. She is taller than Suria. He is shorter, with blond hair tied high and tied behind his head, with a long sword hanging from his waist.

Ryan recognized her, her name was Sylvia, she was Suria's personal maid, she came from a family of knights, and she was also an excellent female knight. There were many young knights who pursued her, but this female knight made up her mind to serve Su Liya. Marquise Leah for life.

The two female knights became a beautiful landscape in the wilderness at night.

The ranger knights rushed to talk to her, and the Marquis responded one by one, but she didn't seem very interested. The old-fashioned way of chatting up a conversation with the ranger knights and all kinds of rhetoric made her feel bored. She had heard enough of those who were too A story of a pompous knight.

"What a coincidence, Your Excellency the Marquis of Suria also came out for a walk?" Olivier said with a smile: "My Baron, you see, the walk of Your Excellency the Marquis triggered a frenzy of walking among the ranger knights, everyone wants to be a flower guard messenger."

"However, if I go over and become the focus again, all the ranger knights want to duel with me." Ryan rolled his eyes, and he hurriedly turned to leave.

It was too late, and a young knight-errant had already stopped in front of Ryan: "Holy Grail Knight, Lord Ryan-Macado, I, Chretien of Winford! I challenge you!"

"I don't have time right now..." Ryan said impatiently.

"No! Your Excellency Ryan, you have time! You have time to take a walk but don't have time to accept my challenge? I think I have the qualifications to challenge!" The knight-errant thought that it was rare to find such a good opportunity, how could he miss?

It's not ashamed to lose. It's normal not to beat His Excellency Ryan. He is the champion of ladies.

And... what if it was evenly matched or won?

"Olivier." Ryan called his ranger knight Olivier over lightly: "Beat my knight first, and then I will consider whether to accept your challenge."

"Hmph~ Your name is Chretien? Let me be your opponent!" Olivier stood in front of Ryan and said to Chretien.

"Okay... okay." This is not what the young knight-errant wants, but there are indeed rules in this regard in the virtues of chivalry, and knights under the lord's command can accept challenges for honor instead of their superiors.

So in the crowd watching, a duel began. Two people each mounted their horses, raised their wooden lances, and began to duel. This kind of lance would shatter when touched, and it was a special weapon for duels between knights.

The summer night began to be lively, and the knights and serfs yelled and joined the ranks of onlookers.

Ryan also just wanted to see how good his knight was in actual combat. The Holy Grail Knight stood in place with his arms crossed, without saying a word. In the dark night and the torches, his blue eyes stared at the horse on the horse. The two confronting each other were thinking about many things.

There was a burst of fragrant wind around him, it was the fresh scent of jasmine, and when he smelled this scent, Ryan knew who it was: "Miss Suria?"

"Good evening, Your Excellency Ryan." The female knight walked to his side, smiling at him in the night wind.

"Good evening, Miss Suria, Miss Sylvia." Ryan nodded, he shrugged: "Too many people challenged me, I decided to let Olivier accept the challenge on my behalf."

"I have witnessed the strength of Lord Ryan with my own eyes. There is really no need to waste time on this kind of thing. They are just eyeing your glory and reputation." Suria smiled softly: "Everyone wants to be the champion of ladies .”

Ryan thought to himself that the Duke's prostitute was really clear about this kind of thing.

By the way, just in time, Ryan asked directly: "I heard that the Marquis Anxi, the general of the Chivalry War, once pursued Miss Suria?"

"Your Excellency Ryan even knows this kind of thing?" The female knight was a little surprised, but she quickly calmed down and nodded slowly: "Yes, the Marquis of Anxi not only pursued me enthusiastically, but also proposed an engagement to my father. ask."

"What about the result?"

The new chivalry war is about to start, I hope all the audience will be happy.
