Chapter 244 Reinforcement and Confrontation
When Rody's cavalry regiment sprinted all the way out of Kig Town, the five lords were not idle, and also led the team to outflank the town to the south.
Earl Owen walked silently in the team, followed by his last advanced knight.
He is very clear that although his team still has some fighting power, the only card that can "finalize" is the loyal soldier beside him—if he wants to make a comeback, this knight named Gris is his only hope.
The successive defeats made Owen resentful. When he looked at the smoke and dust brought up by the cavalry in the distance, he pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind. He reached out and took out an extremely small crystal bottle from the deepest pocket of his clothes.
"Gris, take it."
The advanced knight was skilled in riding, and he immediately followed up with his horse, and reached out to hold the bottle containing the bright green liquid: "Master, what is this?"
"Take it, and within a short period of time, your 'battle spirit' can always maintain the strongest state, and it can be used without limit
The words of Earl Owen shocked Gris: The "battle spirit" of a knight is not like the magic power of a mage. The "battle spirit" consumes and recovers quickly, so the "knight" profession has strong endurance, but its explosive power is extremely low. A "ghost knight" like Wellington, few knights can burst a lot of damage in a short period of time.
But this bottle of rare potion personally refined by Ansardin is extremely against the sky. The effect of "unlimited use of combat energy in a short period of time" can completely make Gris explode several times the usual combat power
Gris was not stupid, and after a little thought, he understood Earl Owen's plan. He nodded and silently hid the potion in his arms.
"Master Ansardin...I have tried my best."
While whispering such words in his heart, the cavalry of Soderol in front had already appeared in the field of vision.
For Roddy's team, the situation at this time is very bad.
The injuries of the soldiers were more serious than expected, many of them basically lost their fighting power, and more importantly, the physical strength of the whole team had dropped drastically—the horses had gone through at least four battles, and they almost rushed from head to tail holding their breath. I didn't even drink a few sips of water during the few minutes of rest...
Anyone who knows a little bit about horses knows that if they run so hard, the horse has a high chance of being run away to death.
Soderol naturally knew this, so when the whole team evacuated, he chose a flat and open street as much as possible, and at the same time, he didn't throw his arms away. ,The consequences could be disastrous.
But the slow speed means that there is a possibility of being encircled. It is not difficult to rush out of Kieg Town, because the enemy has not had time to react... But after rushing out of Kieg Town, a large number of cavalry troops quickly caught up with the advantage of speed
The south of Kig Town is adjacent to an open plain, and the distance from the forest is three kilometers. In this era, no one specially built roads. For warhorses, the black and soft dirt roads were far less comfortable than the solid hard dirt roads in Kig Town.
The panting sound of the horse under the crotch became heavier due to the exhaustion of physical strength... Soderol frowned. He was at the forefront of the team at this time, but he could see at least three cavalry teams speeding up from the side and rear in his field of vision. , and there is an infantry squadron holding weapons in front of the left, blocking the front, making a gesture of forcible interception.
The sound of rumbling horseshoes approached from both sides, and seventy to eighty knights with plenty of energy quickly caught up with them, and then gradually moved forward in parallel with Soderol and others at a distance of 100 meters on both sides. Accelerate and run, ready to encircle in front...
"Rush over?"
Luge, who was at the end of the line, looked worried, and turned to ask Roddy.
"There is only one way."
Rody frowned slightly, but immediately added: "What should be done has been done, if there is really no other way, you can only accept fate."
Luge silently pulled out the scimitar, and spit bloody saliva: "If you can kill here, even if you die, there is nothing to regret."
The veteran's words were sonorous and powerful, but at the same time, it also made Rody next to him a little dazed...
He never thought that he could lead a group of useless scouts to this step: killing orcs, killing undead, and even fighting traitors, without losing the slightest advantage
Through repeated battles, this unit has possessed a "soul" that no other noble unit has ever had: they are not only war machines that obey orders, but also have the "consciousness" that ordinary soldiers do not have—the scouts always have think that what they are going to do is absolutely right and that they are 100% honored to carry out Roddy's orders
This kind of "awareness" made all the scouts have the same idea as Ruger: they have not regretted fighting so far
The cavalry teams on both sides gradually completed the encirclement, and hundreds of infantrymen in front of the road also raised their spears, forming a dense phalanx against the cavalry. In response to this situation, Suo Deluoer raised his long spears high. Sword, gave the instruction "ready to fight"...
However, at a distance of 200 meters from the infantry position, Rody narrowed his eyes slightly, looked past these enemies blocking in front, and stared at the edge of the forest two kilometers away.
Immediately, he breathed a sigh of relief, and gave the command to "slow down" to the front of the team.
On the other side, the approaching lords thought they would see the cavalry fighting with the encircling and annihilating troops, but the army that suddenly appeared from the forest stunned them for a moment...
A team of more than 20 people ran out of the forest and galloped towards the infantry squadron that was in formation—judging from their attire, they were all those guys who escaped from Kig Town just now
what is this? Rushing back to seek death?
A mere twenty or so people, even if they are all elite cavalry, but in the face of a mixed infantry and cavalry team of more than 300 people, charging like this is completely moths to the flame...
Baron Howard sneered: "Hey, do you know your fate and plan to die with that baron?"
But after saying this, he couldn't laugh anymore.
Behind this team, a larger cavalry team suddenly emerged from the forest, and the banner that this team unfurled in the cold wind completely stunned the lords
Frostwolf Head Emblem...the emblem of House Luciferon
When looking at the front of the team, the two guardian knights who looked like giants made everyone hold their breath——
Wellington and Titus
The two most powerful men in the Efta Territory charged side by side, and the aura that belonged to the strong made the lords feel the chill from 800 meters away...
"What's going on? Why did Angmar intervene?"
"Didn't it say that Wellington and Titus went to the Northwest Fortress?"
This situation caught them off guard... During the pre-war intelligence reconnaissance, there was no evidence that Angmar was interested in Kig Town, but at this time, two guardian knights with extraordinary strength suddenly appeared to disrupt the battle. They used Knee also understands that the other party is definitely not here to help him
They naturally didn't know that Nata and the others escaped from the town ahead of time, it was completely done on purpose by Rody, the main purpose of which was to enter the forest and guide the "possible arrival" reinforcements to the correct location for support
Rody received a letter from Angmar three or four days ago, which mentioned that Rody's current situation was critical, and he was ready for reinforcements at any time—and in the current situation, Rody bet that the Duke had Courage to send someone to help protect yourself...
Obviously, he won the bet.
However, Luo Di was happy, but the nobles were dumbfounded...
What to do next?
The lords looked at each other in blank dismay, Baron Howard already had the intention of retreating, but Durant and Earl Owen showed some decisive emotions in their eyes...
"Surround it first and then say that Angmar didn't come, there is room for maneuver in this matter."
Earl Owen gritted his teeth and led the team up. He didn't think about "circling" at all, but he was only thinking about how to get rid of these guys in the first place.
It stands to reason that after the two "Guardian Knights" joined the battlefield, these nobles had no reason to continue fighting: because whoever dared to fight again would completely lose face to the Duke of Angmar.
Not giving face to the old duke, the consequences are definitely not something ordinary people can bear.
As a result, the team that had been preparing to encircle immediately slowed down, and the tense atmosphere on the entire battlefield was suddenly diluted, and the running horses gradually stopped... The three forces gradually occupied three directions of the battlefield.
The situation fell into a stalemate and confrontation, but under this situation, the lords' team still had an absolute advantage: except for the 100-man escort, the 200 cavalry and infantry squadrons that rushed over made them appear to be large in number, and the infantry that was constantly replenished in the rear The number was over a thousand—compared to the combined soldiers of Rody and Wellington, who only had more than a hundred soldiers, and they were obviously at a disadvantage under such a siege.
"The battle ends here, the Duke of Luciferon does not want to see any bad fights in the territory."
Knight Titus walked out of the queue and said to the five lords with gloomy expressions, "Baron Soderol and his team are our escorts, and now they need to return to Hollier City, please lords make way, Let's cooperate."
This tone made the faces of several lords change several times... Titus didn't mean to give them face at all, it was completely in the posture of "brother is here, you hurry up".
However, Baron Howard and several small lords really dare not speak out—although they said before that "Angmar is about to die" and "Efta is about to collapse", but when they really met these two guards Guardian knights, with their power, can't do without admitting cowardice.
"Knight Titus, I think it's not appropriate to do this."
Earl Durant lost the elemental master Cohen, and at this time he hated Sodlore so much, so he shouted indignantly: "Baron Sodlore took the initiative to provoke a war in Kig Town, and we There is a battle... If you leave, I think the two knights should wait until we solve this problem before leaving?"
This is actually nonsense. Let's test each other and see their attitudes.
"I came here on the order of the Duke. If you have any other opinions, you can submit them to the Duke, but now... I am only here to carry out the order."
The lance in Titus' hand shook twice intentionally or unintentionally, with a cold expression on his face.
However, regarding the knight's tough attitude, Earl Owen's performance was more straightforward...He directly led his knights to surround Soderol and others
