Chapter 51: Angry Attack
"Let's go! Target Comos Manor! William didn't say much and gave the order directly.
The knights didn't dare to ask more questions when they saw William's unapproachable appearance, but they also vaguely understood in their hearts that there might be something wrong with the baron's fiancée.
Norwen and Urimu glanced at William worriedly, but did not say much, expressing their greatest support for his behavior.
It was clear that the speed of the march could not be as fast as that of the courier, and the seemingly slow troops marched along the country roads.
William didn't urge, because he knew that this was already the fastest speed, and he couldn't let the soldiers run forward, which would directly overdraw the soldiers' physical strength, not to mention that the soldiers had just finished training.
Therefore, even if William's heart was in a hurry, he did not show any dissatisfaction with the speed of the march.
The knights rode on their horses, and when they saw the face of their lord, they couldn't help kicking their horses in the belly, speeding up a little, and making the soldiers go from walking to walking quickly.
As night fell, William ordered a rest, let all the soldiers eat, and arranged for a sentry vigil.
They marched from the afternoon to the evening, and William knew that his troops were now sleepy, and even if he was in a hurry, he had to rest.
In the night, William lay in a carriage covered with blankets, and he could not sleep.
"If something happens to Wella!"
"If Wella is captured!"
"If Wella is insulted!"
William looked at the stars in the sky, thinking wildly in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, the more sad he became, he couldn't wait to order his troops to fly to Comos Manor now to rescue his Wella.
But he couldn't, he knew from listening to the loud snoring of the soldiers around him that they were very tired, although they didn't say it, but they actually had some complaints in their hearts, and the strict training made them bear it.
If it were replaced by any troops who had not been trained, they would definitely have started to get emotional, after all, it was forty kilometers in half a day!
William remembers the past in his mind, trying not to think about how Werner would be humiliated if Comos Manor fell.
It could be mental, it could be physical, and more likely it was twofold......
The feeling of depression could not be eliminated, and William forced himself to sleep, and in a hazy way, he seemed to see the fallen Comos Manor.
The smoke was filled, the mess was in shambles, blood was splattered, and only the main fort was left with the windows that had been burned to quietly recount the tragedy that had happened.
And his Wella, his little angel Wella, was ...... in the room
William woke up suddenly, and the sky had begun to lighten.
"It turned out to be just a dream!" William let out a long breath, he was really afraid that the dream would become a reality.
He lay in the carriage and thought quietly, at yesterday's speed, as long as it was close to noon, he could reach Comos Manor.
When it was time to get up, the officers called all the soldiers up, and the rigorous training made them extremely tenacious, and after breakfast, they set out on the road again.
His bloodshot eyes stared in the direction of Comos Manor, his spirit was a little trance, his dream yesterday gave him a sense of foreboding, and his spirit was not very good, after all, it was such a dream.
Finally, when it was almost noon, they arrived at the Comos Manor, which was already in shambles, and the villages near the manor were empty and full of corpses.
There are many gaps in the walls of the manor, especially the wooden gate in the middle, which has been violently opened, like a toothless old man, wailing about the misery of this place.
William's chest felt hotter and hotter, and the ominous premonition grew stronger.
William gave the order and rushed into the manor first, followed by the heavy cavalry and knights, and the infantrymen poured into the Comos manor under the leadership of the officers.
The manor was full of scattered local soldiers, none of whom wore a Komos family blouse.
Especially the main fort in the very center, which is already full of smoke! Smoked black!
William's pupils shrank suddenly, and the sound of "ho he" came out of his throat, followed by a cry of pain, the voice was full of despair, like a beast before death.
For no other reason than that he had seen the heads of Baron Comos and Valoran, sparsely laid out in an open carriage......
William's heart was full of despair at this moment, although he was also saddened by the death of Baron Comos, but it was not enough to make him so sad, what really made him despair was that the fall of the main castle meant that Wella was exposed to the control of the enemy army......
"Charge!!" William shouted hysterically, he shouted loudly!
The knights raised their spears and aimed them at the enemy in front of them, who would kill all their enemies for their lord!
The enemy outside the castle had apparently slackened much because of the victory, and many of them sat on the ground resting, overwhelmed by the sudden charge, and the knights had dashed them in a single charge.
Many soldiers were killed, but it seems that many of them entered the main fort, because there were only a hundred enemies outside, and it was certainly not all the enemy's strength, even if there would be some casualties in the battle.
There were more than fifty knights plus light and heavy cavalry, and it was not difficult to eliminate more than a hundred people on the other side, so William dismounted and walked to the front of the main fort.
The knights threw down their broken rifles and followed William to the gate of the main castle.
William first ordered seventy armed infantry to enter, and then he led the knights into the main fort, while the heavy cavalry remained outside to keep guard.
Sure enough, there were quite a few enemy soldiers in the castle, and they seemed to be searching for something, and the sporadic troops were met by William and all of them were wiped out.
Baron Dale was sitting in the study, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, the messenger that Baron Comos asked William for help did not intercept him, and the other party's army may be about to arrive, thinking of this, Baron Dale hurriedly asked the servants around him to gather the army.
If he had known that he had killed Baron Comos, he believed that he would not let himself leave alive.
He already had the mind to retreat.
William led the men to the door of the hall, and the two guards were killed by the knight who opened the way without difficulty.
Screams from outside the door entered the hall, and Baron Dale and Duncan suddenly changed color.
"William has arrived!"
They all understand.
The two looked at each other and whispered orders to the soldiers to get ready, and the archers to prepare to shoot.
William was outside the door, he knew there were people inside, and although he feared for Wella's safety, he couldn't look for it right away, he had to deal with these enemies first.
"Raise your shield and get ready to kick the door!" William whispered, his bloodshot eyes filled with chill, he didn't plan to leave a single mouth alive!
"Bang!"
The two knights at the front kicked the door open at once, and the fragile latch could not stop the two strong knights.
"Dangdangdang......"
There was a clash, and twenty or thirty arrows were fired at the knights, but since the knights had already received orders from William, no one was injured, and almost all of them hit the shields.
Even if it hits the body, it is blocked by the encrypted armor, and even the structure of the armor is not damaged, and it does not even need to be repaired.
"Sir William! Long time no see! Baron Dale stood up at the front of the hall and drew the knight's sword he wore at his waist.
Duncan, the nephew of Baron Comos, stood by Baron Dale's side, and apparently, he was also one of the murderers of the Baron!
William watched Baron Dale stand up from the position that originally belonged to Baron Comos, his heart was full of anger, and his cheeks kept agitating, he was already angry to the extreme.
Duncan's appearance made him understand the scene in front of him, and his betrayal made him angry even more than Baron Dale's sneak attack, eating things inside and out!
"yes, long time no see!" William said through gritted teeth.
"Kill them!" William roared loudly, the anger in his heart could not be quelled by the blood of the enemy!
Baron Dale seemed to have anticipated this situation for a long time, what he did not calculate was William's marching speed, otherwise he would have been able to evacuate safely and return to the protection of Viscount Curvin, and William would not be able to help him at that time.
Due to the fierce fighting, there were less than three hundred soldiers left under Baron Dale, and so many were wiped out by William outside, and now there were less than a hundred people in the hall, and there were more than twenty people who were archers, and the other sixty or seventy were armed infantry.
As for the light infantry, it has long been exhausted, and even if there are those who survive, they have long been wiped out by William and them.
The dozen knights did not hesitate at all, their armor brought them a sense of security and courage, as long as it was not a heavy blunt weapon and a weapon such as a two-handed greatsword and battle axe, it was not easy to kill them with a long sword and spear.
The knights on the other side were not ambiguous, but obviously their equipment was not as good as William's knights, and the tacit understanding in coordination was not as good as that of the Menders knights who had been training together for nearly a year.
However, the battle between the knights was very slow, and it was not quick for both sides to kill each other, anyway, so far, two or three knights had been attacked by the enemy, but none of them died.
However, the battle of the armed infantry was more interesting, the blood was sprayed, and it was very fierce, and the spears of the Mendes infantry were too long, and there were some chicken ribs in the room.
Thankfully, William also did this by equipping them with short swords, an act that was initially met with a lot of dissatisfaction.
The blacksmiths felt that the work was too much, and the knights felt that it was not necessary to equip the infantry with swords, while Norwin felt that it was too expensive and that a lot of money was spent.
However, apparently no one thought that William's decision was a redundant move at this time, and without the short sword, the Manders infantry would face a very embarrassing situation.
Overall, the Menders had the advantage over each other, and although both sides were armed infantry, the Menders were significantly better equipped than the other side.
The iron leather armor was not comparable to the somewhat blunt spears and swords of the opponent, while the short swords of the Manders infantry were newly made and very sharp, and after hand-to-hand combat between the two sides, the enemy suffered more casualties.
