Chapter 118: The Ferry

As Friedlier envisioned, the Enigma carried the fifth team of the 1,000-strong Knights of the Stars to the right bank of the Garland River in one night.

At dawn, with a thin mist on the river, the Enigma set out north along the Garland River with the knights who had appeared on the right bank.

"Their equipment is amazing." Standing on the bow of the Enigma, Tarregalil looked at the starry knights marching neatly on the riverbank, and whispered to Friedlier beside him, "Tharu, did you observe last night, each of them has at least four weapons, they have not only riding spears, long swords, but also maces and short swords, in addition to this, they also wear heavy chain mail and hold various types of shields, and even some of their war horses are also wearing iron armor. It's unbelievable that they're so well equipped. ”

Friedleer said with a smile, "From last night's chat with several knights, I learned that each of them also has a retinue on foot. Only now they left their retinue in the rear for the sake of raiding the ferry. ”

"Oh my God, the warrior even has an entourage?" Tallegaril said in surprise, "That's unimaginable. They can afford to raise so many people. ”

Friedreer smiled and didn't say anything.

"Taru, the combat power of these Ranti knights must be terrifying." Tarregalil continued, "It's a good thing we didn't make enemies of them. ”

"Terrible?" Friedlier laughed and said, "I think they are all idiots, and there is nothing to be afraid of." ”

"Taro, what do you mean?" Tarregalil asked, a little confused.

"Last night they told me that they had gone to attack Azor because they had angered their gods by building unworthy structures in the holy places of their hearts." "They say they came to fight for the forgiveness of the gods, to save the world, and to destroy the demons. ”

Tare Galil was stunned for a moment, then then asked, "Taru, you said they fought to destroy the demons?" To gain the forgiveness of the gods? ”

Friedreel smiled and nodded.

Tarregalir then turned to laugh and said, "I can't believe that someone is fighting to gain the forgiveness of some god, not for women and wealth." Ha, Taru, you're right, they're a bunch of idiots. I think if the ancestors heard someone talk about war like that, they would have laughed until their stomachs hurt. ”

Friedlier glanced back at the hooded Oeve and said to Talligalir, "Old man, if our great ancestors were all alive in this age, would they try to conquer Randy and destroy his god along the way?" ”

"Oh, I think it will." "The ancestors were always able to conquer everything. ”

Looking at Friedreel, Tarregalil hesitated for a moment and whispered to continue, "Tarru, are you going to attack Randy?" ”

Friedlier smiled and said, "No, although Randy's main forces are now heading east, their rear is unusually empty. While attacking their hinterland from the sea would have been an easy victory, and we would have captured a great deal of wealth, I am not going to do that. ”

"Taru, what do you think?"

"I'd rather see the Ranti attack the Athore without any fear." Friedreel looked at the Starry Knight as he marched ashore and whispered, "Wouldn't it be better for us to use their power to conquer the vast, richer Athore?" ”

"Oh, Taru, you're right." "Athor is our true enemy, and if we join forces with the Ranti to attack the Athors, we will surely defeat them." ”

"It's not a union." "It's utilization. ”

As the two men talked, Friedlier, who was standing at the bow of the ship, saw that the group of starry knights suddenly gathered together under the command of their commander Stezick, and began to change formation.

"Keep an eye ahead, it looks like the ferry should be coming soon." Friedlier looked at the Starlight Knights, who were changing formations, and commanded Tarregalil.

As soon as Friedlier's words fell, Tarregalil immediately said, "Taru, it seems..."

Without waiting for Friedlier to look ahead, he heard an arrow burst through the wind. "Boom!" With a bang, the arrow was nailed straight into the bow of the Enigma, and struck Pegasus in the belly.

"Enemy attack!" Tare Galil immediately shouted, "Prepare for battle!" ”

At the same time, Friedlier saw the figure of an Athore river ferryboat suddenly appear in the mist of the river in front of the Garland.

"Raise your shield!" Friedlier immediately shouted in Randy to the Ouroboros guards and the people on board, "Arrows!" Port side to meet the enemy! ”

Under Friedlier's command, the Enigma made its way down the river. The warriors on board raised their shields to cover the crowd, and the sailors steered the ship in the face of the arrows fired by the Athol soldiers, and quickly turned the bow of the boat to the Athol river ferry.

Although the Mystery, which is used with a single layer of sail pulp, is slightly larger than the average Phetton warship, it can still only be counted as a light clipper among the ocean warships of various countries. However, at present, in the still narrow river, the Athors did not use the deep-drafted sea boats to enter the river to stop the attack of the Landians.

Faced with a river ferry with no cabin and no protection, Friedlier decided not to hesitate to let the Enigma ram at full speed. Faced with the attack of the Mystery, Yasor's ferry turned to dodge and was hit by the bow of the Mystery. The dragon-perched Pegasus head in the bow of the Mystery also smashed the side of the ferry to pieces as it slammed into the enemy ship, causing the Mystery to rush tightly into the enemy's hull.

As soon as the two ships met, Friedrie led the entire ship of warriors to attack the enemy ship. He jumped into the enemy ship with his sword in hand, and fought fiercely with the warriors of Athore.

"Be careful." Oyeve, accompanied by Abhikius and Brulis, also quickly jumped into the enemy ship, and after stabbing one of the Azor soldiers to death with her sword, she rushed to Friedlier's side and spoke of concern to him.

"Thank you, but you should remind the enemy to be careful." After stabbing Nightfall into the belly of one of Athore, Friedlier said to Oeve without looking back, "They're in big trouble. ”

Before Oeve could speak again, she saw Friedreel quickly swing the word "Night", and in an instant, he cut off the limbs of two more Athore warriors.

Under the fierce battle of Friedlier and the strong attack of the Ouroboros guards, the fifty or so Yasol warriors and sailors on the ferry were quickly wiped out. After confirming that it was only a patrol ferry, and that there were no other boats following, Friedlear asked several Facton warriors to loot the ship's booty.

After watching a soldier of Azor who had previously fallen into the water and tried to escape being shot at a distance by Tarregalir with a captured bow and arrow, O'Eve spoke to Friedlier, "We should fight as little as possible, I don't want to see anyone hurt or killed." ”

"Don't you want to see me hurt? Miss? Friedlier smiled at her.

"Anyone, including you, of course." O'Eve said.

"Thank you, I understand, but you also know that a fight like this is hard to avoid." Friedlier said.

"I don't want you to rush into the enemy pile alone if it's hard to avoid it." "You're brave enough to do that, but you're stupid. ”

"Well, thanks for the reminder." Friedlier smiled at Oiff again, then turned to the sailors on board and shouted, "Turn the ship, move closer to the right bank, and keep moving at the same pace as the cavalry on the shore." ”

The Enigma turned close to the river bank and continued its way, while the knights of the Knights of the Starlight marched in a dense formation on the shore.

As the river continued and the mist on the river cleared further, Friedlier, who was standing at the bow of the boat, soon saw that the river was beginning to narrow in front of him, and it was clear that it was a natural crossing.

At the crossing, there is a river pier located on the right bank of the Garland River with a large number of ferries. Behind the wharf, a Golden Eagle military flag of Yasuor was erected high, and dozens of Yasuor military tents were erected under it. Friedlier thought that the Azor must have tried to prevent the Duke of Ortstis' army from crossing the Garland by controlling all the ferries and docks on the river.

"The Randys should hurry up and launch a surprise attack." Friedlier looked at the Starlight Knight who was still moving forward and whispered to Tallegaril.

"Taru, what are they doing, the enemy is already close at hand." Tarregalil also looked at the Knights of the Stars and said, "Are they waiting for the enemy to come out and line up?" ”

"I really don't understand." Friedlier turned to O'Eve, who was hiding behind him under his burqa, and asked, "Miss O'Eve, do you know what your father's knights are inking?" At such a time, why don't they launch a surprise attack quickly? ”

Oeve looked at the knights of the fifth team of the Knights of the Starlight under the robe and said, "They're in formation. ”

"O'Eve, she said the knights were in formation." Friedreel shrugged his shoulders and said to Tallegalil.

"Oh, ancestors, do they know how to fight?" Tarregalil said, "The sneak attack even has to stay in formation. ”

When the knights of the fifth team of the Knights of the Stars were approaching the crossing in a dense formation, the defenders of Azor at the crossing had already spotted the enemy attack in advance.

Although the Ranty Knights lost the opportunity to launch a surprise attack due to their stubbornness, their fighting beliefs are extremely strong. In the face of the anti-cavalry formation organized by the Azores guarding the crossing, the knights of the fifth team of the Knights of the Starmang, under the orders of their commander Stezick, did not hesitate to charge the enemy formation from the front, even though there were many spears.

The Knights of the Stars rode their horses away like a torrent of steel, mercilessly devouring the Athorians.

Under the charge of the dense formation of the heavy armored knights in the vanguard, the first line of army formation hastily organized by the defenders of the Yasolo ferry was torn open in an instant. Taking advantage of this opening, the Starlight Knights rushed in and took advantage of the situation to attack the large array of the Chinese army of the Atholls in one fell swoop.

In the face of the cavalry formation of the Starlight Knights, who were tightly formed and did not dodge or intersperse space at all, the defenders of Asur, who lacked cavalry, were quickly completely defeated. Faced with the scattered defenders of Athore, the Starmen Knights did not continue their pursuit, as their goal was only to capture the crossing and capture the boats used to cross the river.

"Taru," Tarregalil asked, looking at the fleeing army of Azore, and asked Friedreel, "how could the Landi win so easily?" I feel that the Asurians still have the advantage in numbers, could it be that these Athol defenders are too stupid? ”

Friedlier looked at the Starlight Knights who were cleaning the battlefield, and said slowly, "It is true that the combat effectiveness of these ferry defenders is not high, but I have to say that these Randy Knights have shown amazing courage and resolute execution beyond my imagination. Of course, they were able to win so easily, thanks to their excellent equipment. ”

"Taru, you're talking about the armor worn by the knights?" Tarregalil asked.

"Not just the armor, but their horses and weapons." "Their excellent chain mail kept them at bay most of the arrows. A good warhorse can also carry a heavily armored knight and sprint at high speed at high speed even though it is wearing heavy armor. As for weapons, they are able to make more effective choices when it comes to the different armor conditions of the enemy. They can choose to swing with a long or short sword when facing unarmored or lightly armored enemies, while against heavily armored enemies, they can choose to stab them in the body with a spear, or use a mace to hammer them into the head. ”

"As you say, Taru, these Ranti knights are indeed very well equipped. It's too enviable. Tarregalil said.

"It's really enviable." "I hope that in the future, the warriors of Featon will be equipped with that kind of equipment." ”

"Friedlier, as agreed, we can now go and collect the loot." Bulliss came to Friedley's side and spoke.

"Okay." Friedreel turned to Tarregalir and smiled, "Something is better than nothing, and those armors are good." If you bring it back, the warriors will love it too. ”
