Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Holy Golden Eagle
Because there is a high-ranking warrior Kordak in charge, and now they are also within the defense line of the Hawk Empire. Therefore, after returning to the camp, several people did not rush to transfer their positions, but followed the decision of Kordack, choosing to bandage and rest.
It's not risky, but since Regner and Alexander are both injured and can't go far, it's better to recharge your batteries here than to keep running around to increase that bit of safety. Besides, there are two well-preserved combat forces of Cordak and Vera, and they don't have to be afraid too much.
And the facts also proved that Kordak's decision was correct, and it was calm from night onwards, Salonn did not kill again, and Stoke did not send any team to sneak attack.
By the next day, Regner and Alexander had also regained some strength. And at this time, the benefits of Alexander's Endless Source attribute ability are reflected. From the moment of sunrise, Alexander's face began to gradually turn rosy, and within two hours, he was completely back to normal. Looking at Regner, this kid is still pale, and his whole body is sick.
"Hey, look at His Highness, and then look at you, who are also attribute abilities, why is the gap so big?" Cordak walked on the road and didn't forget to laugh at the sick Regner.
"I opened four layers of Dark Body, and I ate one of Salon's fireballs, so it's good that I didn't fall down now, right?" Regner said, rolling his eyes.
"Cut, I also slashed that Saron fireball with a sword, isn't it still a big deal?" Kordak triumphed, now feeling more and more that it was a wise decision to choose this lava blade as his weapon.
"That's your weapon, that lava giant blade specializes in fire attributes, and you are the light of this. Regner also saw the problem.
"Oh, lava blade?" Alexander's stunned moment, only then did he notice Kordak's weapon.
"That's right. Kordaq drew his two-handed sword, and played with it with some love: "I remember, this sword is still the trophy you got from Your Highness." ”
"Yes. Alexander nodded, "That Stoke general seems to be called Dottern, isn't it? ”
"That battle was thrilling, wasn't it?" asked Vera.
"The war has always been thrilling, but this one was more brutal, and my Golden Eagle Knights lost more than seventy of their brothers. Alexander said with some sadness.
"More than seventy?" The three of them were stunned, according to the introduction, in that battle, the Red Flame Cavalry Regiment of Dortern was almost completely wiped out, and Alexander's men only lost more than seventy people?
Here it is necessary to say a word about the formation of the Knights of the Hawke Empire. Under normal circumstances, every hundred knights can be organized into a knight squad, every three knight squads can be organized into a knight squadron, every three knight squadrons can be organized into a knight brigade, and three knight brigades can be organized into a knight regiment. So, under normal circumstances, the number of a knight order is about three thousand.
And according to Alexander, when two knights collided, one side lost only 100 men, while the other side was completely destroyed?
"Oh, the Golden Eagle Knights are different from other knights. Alexander explained: "My order is very small, less than five hundred. ”
"How can it be so little?" asked Kordak.
"That's right. Alexander nodded: "The Golden Eagle Knights are organized into a squad of every fifty people, and the three squads form a squadron, but there is no brigade establishment, and the three squadrons together are all the people of the Golden Eagle Knights." ”
"Such a small number of people...... Every knight must be an elite, right?" Cordak guessed.
"Yes. Alexander said, "The average rank of a normal knight member should be level four to five. In the Golden Eagle Knights, level eight is the entry level, and the average level is around level ten. ”
"Huh!" all three of them exclaimed, a knight order composed entirely of middle-level and above powerhouses, that is really the elite of the elite of the empire, but the people of the military are really relieved. Putting such a precious steel knife in the hands of Alexander, a young man who was not yet twenty years old, were they not afraid that the knights would be spoiled by him? Or was this knight actually the second prince's personal guard?
However, they did not know that the Order of the Golden Eagle had existed before Alexander joined the army. Even the second prince of the empire started as a herald of this knight order. And the reason why he can now become the leader of the Golden Eagle Knights is not because of anything else, but completely because of the outstanding combat exploits he has accumulated over the past few years!
The Red Flame Sorcerer Saron of the Stoke Empire is indeed awe-inspiring, but when it comes to the most dazzling new star in the Chino Continent, it is still Alexander, who has both strength, strategy, talent, character, and appearance. And the people of the Chino Continent also gave him a title based on his long hair as bright as gold, that is, the Holy Golden Eagle, and the eagle is the symbol of the royal family emblem of the Hawke Empire.
"I was previously operating with a makeshift Einsatzgruppen that raided the supply depots of the Stoke Empire. But on the way back, I was intercepted by Salon, and in order to cover their retreat, I had to entangle with him alone. Alexander explained.
"I see, I heard that there is a support force on the battlefield on this side of Costa Canyon, presumably your highness's troops. Kordak nodded, if Alexander really gave up his golden body to save his men, as he said, then he was really a good man.
If it were Joffrey, even if he had Alexander's strength, he would probably not hesitate to order his men to fight with their lives to stop Saron, and then escape by himself.
While Alexander was talking, a cloud of smoke and dust rose not far away, and Kordak looked closely, only to find that it was a pair of cavalry.
"Is there an enemy attack?" said Regner, in a combat stance.
"It's not. Vera, who had the sharpest eyes, shook her head: "They have the insignia of the Hawke Empire, and they should be our people." ”
"Probably came to pick me up. Alexander said.
Within a minute, the group of knights rushed over, and Kordak felt it carefully, but found that although there were only four knights in this team, each knight exuded an amazing aura. Of the four people who came, there were two middle-level warriors, a high-level warrior, and a high-level mage, and they didn't recognize those three warriors. But that mage turned out to be a high-level mage sent by the Hawke Empire's Court Mage Association to guard Costa Fortress!
Two of the four men went straight past Kordak and then stopped behind them, encircling them in the middle.
"Let go of His Royal Highness the Prince, or I will kill you on the spot!" The middle-aged knight led by him drew his long sword without hesitation.
"Calm down, Just, they're a squad of Reapers, and I forced Saron back with their help. In order to avoid a misunderstanding, Alexander hastened to explain.
Just took a closer look, only to find that Alexander was not restrained at all, but his body was carefully bandaged, and it seemed that these people were really not enemies.
"I'm sorry......" Justt quickly put away his sword after understanding what was going on, he jumped off his horse, and then knelt in front of Alexander: "Just failed to support in time, please punish Your Highness." ”
"Alright Just. Alexander smiled and helped the middle-aged man up: "This was originally my voluntary stay, you don't have to blame yourself for it." And, as I said, there is only the head of the knight here, and there is no His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
"Shame on ......" Just bowed his head slightly.
"Go and apologize to Mr. Kordak, you've been a little reckless. Alexander whispered.
"......" Just's face flashed with reluctance, but in the end, he walked up to Kordak and said stiffly: "I was wrong just now, forgive me." ”
"It's okay, you're also the protector. Kordaq waved generously.
"It's good to know. Justt muttered.
"What did you say?" both Regner and Vera, who were good hearing, frowned.
But Justt ignored them, but turned to Alexander and said, "I have prepared the horses, and your Highness will go back with us." ”
"Okay. Alexander nodded: "Help a few of my companions get ready." ”
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I only brought four extra horses with me when I came, and these were for you. Just said with his head bowed.
"Your Highness, it seems that this subordinate of yours does not seem to be very kind to us. "Regner couldn't take it anymore.
"I'm sorry, Regner, Just's temper is a little weird at times, but he doesn't mean anything. Alexander hastened to explain.
"Your Highness, why do you apologize to them?!" Justter was also angry.
"So you should apologize?" Vera couldn't help it, this guy had been looking at the three of them incorrectly since he came over, and it was clear that he was looking down on them. Now that everyone has already slapped her face, she will not be polite to him with her Vera's temperament.
"Why should I apologize to you?" Justter was clearly not particularly good at talking.
"You're a megalomaniacal idiot!" Vera scolded. Although she is not from the Hawke Empire, the Kordak team has fought hard for this country, and now a guy suddenly appears here to target them for no reason, can she not be angry?
"Let's make two moves, and we'll know who is arrogant!" Justt angrily drew his sword.
"Okay, it's just a high-level warrior, do you really think the old lady is afraid of you?" Vera didn't back down at all: "Regner, up!"
"......" Although Regner was also angry in his heart, Vera's last sentence made him feel that he was the dog that Vera let the dog bite people......
"All right!" said Alexander and Kordak at the same time.
"Just, I command you, to apologize at once, and then give them the other three horses!I tell you, they are my friends, and if you dare to be disrespectful to my friend, you will give me the way back to Melindell!" Alexander was obviously also really angry, and spoke unceremoniously.
"Xiao Lei, Vera, don't be impulsive!" After all, the other party is from the Hawke Empire's army, and Kordak doesn't want to cause trouble, so he quickly pulls the two of them.
"......" Just's face turned pale, but in the end, according to Alexander's orders, he apologized again to the three Kordaks, and then divided the horses among them.
