Chapter 29: Before the War
Just one attack made William feel the strength of the other party, although the attack just now was blocked by William, but the power transmitted through the shield still made William's arm numb.
William licked his lips, "Looks like a power-type opponent," he thought.
William took advantage of the gap after the opponent's attack and stabbed his long sword forward.
The stab is the fastest and most powerful move, although it is simple, but it is not easy to deal with, his greatsword has not been fully withdrawn, and it is difficult to block it.
The long sword stabbed the opponent's chain mail, and because Dale took a step back at the critical moment, the strength of the long sword was insufficient, so it did not penetrate the opponent's armor.
However, even so, it still made the knights on William's side in an uproar.
"Well done Sir William!"
"Beat him up and go home crying to find his mother!"
"Teach him a hard lesson, Sir William!"
Dale was not physically harmed, but he lost face because of this blow, and took a few steps back in anger, then rushed towards William, slashing the greatsword down again.
William placed his shield above his head again, defending against the attack.
"Boom!" With a crisp sound, the long sword slammed into the wooden shield, making a sound comparable to that of a battle axe.
William only felt a pain in his left forearm, numb from the shock, and began to tremble a little, and only then did he feel that the strength of the other party was so terrifying.
However, his attack was not over, William placed the shield diagonally above his head, the greatsword fell in the direction of the shield due to inertia, Dale was very familiar with the two-handed greatsword as a weapon, and turned around and slashed down again before William could react.
This is the most common way to use tomahawks and heavy swords, because the weight is too large to change direction at any time, so people who use heavy equipment will follow the inertia of the weapon to launch the next attack.
Dale used this method, and he was very skillful with the use of the middle, turning round after turn, and slashing at the shield of William's left arm three times in a row.
William put up his shield again and again, unable to fight back at all, and could only defend passively.
William only felt that the other party's strength was too great, and his left arm had begun to tremble, as if it was broken!
The knights below also saw the situation in the field, and the knights on William's side were silent and their morale was low.
The knights on the other side began to cheer one after another, and from time to time provoked like Viscount Raul's side, wanting to return the previous humiliation to them.
"Lord Baron, teach this kid a good lesson!"
"Haha, why can't you be arrogant, wasn't it very powerful just now?"
"Kill him, kill this guy!"
Willian doesn't pay attention to things off the field, he has to concentrate on the difficult opponent in front of him, this is the strongest opponent he has encountered in the nearly three years since he came to this world, and the slightest mistake will fail.
William moved his numb left hand, the stinging pain of the break and movement made him very conscious.
Although Dale's strength is strong, but on the contrary, his speed is not as good as William, William relies on flexible steps, and he has been around for a long time, if the strength is not as good as others, and the speed is not good, then there is no need to compare, just admit defeat.
It is easy to admit defeat, but the consequences are serious, not only will Baron Comos's status be seriously reduced, but it will also leave a bad impression in Viscount Raul's heart, and the popularity he left among the knights just now will also be lost, so he can't lose!
William's posture was very standard, both of them were looking for each other's flaws, and at this moment, William moved, and he swung his long sword, leaking a huge flaw.
Dale sneered, and then raised his two-handed sword above his head again, ready to deal with William directly.
In order to be able to wield the long sword to maintain balance, William's body has opened and leaked a flaw, and it is impossible to defend with a shield.
The greatsword fell heavily, but William's longsword had not yet fallen on Dale's body.
Viscount Raul's heart was cold, the light one-handed long sword did not cut at the enemy before the two-handed sword, it meant a defeat!
Just when everyone thought William was going to be defeated, he moved.
He placed the shield in his left hand on top of his head, but instead of lying flat as before, he placed it vertically above his head.
"Peng!"
All the knights on William's side began to cheer, and William put his shield up, causing Dale's two-handed sword to jam on the shield.
However, it is also very thrilling, if the strength of the two-handed sword is a little stronger, William's left hand will be separated from his body.
Dale was embarrassed, he was misled by William, this is obviously a very common move in battle, and he didn't even notice it.
Yes, William misled him, William raised his shield from the beginning and bounced off his attacks, but the reason why the shield was mostly wooden was to rely on the opponent's sword stuck in the wood for a few seconds to win.
Dale was so nervous that he forgot about it.
William, of course, couldn't let go of this good opportunity, and with all his strength, he kicked him on the other party's stomach, kicking him back several steps, and his face turned red in pain.
Seeing that the opponent had not completely lost his combat effectiveness, William hurriedly took advantage of this time to rush forward with his shield and knock the opponent to the ground.
William placed the sword on Dale's neck, and if he made the slightest movement, William stabbed the sword back and killed him through his chain mail.
"Your Excellency, you have lost!" William said with a mocking smile.
The knights on William's side immediately began to cheer: "William! William the Maniac! ”
"Well done William! See if he dares to squirt! ”
"I knew it, William, the bravest knight!"
The knights on the other side were silent, the representatives of their own side had lost, and they had no face to speak again.
William was immersed in cheers, and Dale seemed unconvinced and wanted to get up, but William's long sword around his neck was too threatening after all, and finally gave up resistance.
"Don't forget the ransom!" William withdrew his sword and said with a sneer.
Delton's face turned pale, and he looked at William with hatred, and returned to the group.
Walked behind a man in leather armor, it was probably his feudal lord Viscount Kewen, all the way
Someone who is against Viscount Raul.
William returned to the ranks, knelt down on one knee again to Baron Comos, and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your accomplishment!" ”
Baron Comos smiled and nodded, letting William return to the group, and Viscount Raul looked at William with some smile in his eyes.
"Well done Sir William, teach them a lesson to their arrogant and incapable pigs!"
"Yes, Sir William, it depends on their displeasure!"
William was surrounded by a group of knights, and his actions had won everyone's favor just now.
The Viscount left a few knights to lead the light infantry to camp outside the city, and the rest of the knights walked to the city gate, and the two teams met in a narrow way, and to William's surprise, Viscount Curwen's team retreated to the side.
It should have played a role in the victory just now, so that they did not dare to go against their side again.
The group walked proudly in front of Viscount Curwen's team, leaving a trail of dust behind.
Viscount Kewen's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn Raul, that damn knight!" ”
Entering the castle, there were already people waiting here, and the receptionist led a group of dozens of people to the lord's hall, where a banquet was being held.
In the evening, the banquet officially began, and more than 380 people ate and drank in the hall, chatting and talking.
These more than three hundred people, except for a dozen viscounts and barons, are all the kings of war in this era, knights!
The most face-saving person here is Baron Comos, sixteen knights are the most among all barons, the others are about ten or eleven, the worst Baron Wilson only has seven knights left, plus William defeated Dale just now, Baron Comos has an incomparably long face.
William and the three of them found a corner to sit together, eating this thing, drinking ale and wine, and chatting with each other.
At this moment, the Count of Loire stepped up to the main seat of the hall and said in a loud voice: "Be quiet! Be quiet! ”
The Count of Loire was a middle-aged man with a little gray hair, not an old man, but he could not be said to be middle-aged.
Hearing the Earl's words, the originally noisy hall gradually fell silent.
The Count exclaimed, "Valliant knights! According to the news, the day after tomorrow! Just the day after tomorrow! 10,000 Chekers are going to invade us from the north! Their granaries have been ransacked by the Magyars, and they want food from us! Can we tolerate it? ”
"Can't!" All shouted hoarsely, they who made a shock with the number of enemies, but could not show cowardice in the presence of the Count and other colleagues, besides, their faith told them that it would never be tolerated for the infidels who did not believe in God the Father to burn and loot under the Holy Father, and besides, their homeland was here.
"The royal family is at war with the enemies of the West, we are alone, and no one can give us shelter! So we can only rely on ourselves, our spears, our swords, our shields, and our horses under our crotches, and we must defeat the infidels and protect our parents, our wives and children, and our father's people! They are numerous, but the Father's people are fearless! The earl's words were so impassioned that even William felt like he was about to kill the enemy on the battlefield.
"Defeat them!" Everyone shouted loudly, and a loud voice filled the hall, and all the people were boiling with blood, their faces flushed, and the green tendons on their necks and foreheads were clearly visible.
"Get ready, knights, there is a tough battle waiting for us, but the castle will help us!" The Count shouted loudly, told the plan of battle, and held the castle!
After boosting his morale, the count changed his tone again: "Knights! Before the war, we had enough to drink and eat, and then we went to cut off the heads of the infidels! ”
After the impassioned speech, the knights were still immersed in excitement, shouting with wine glasses in their hands, and shouting in their mouths that they would kill all the infidels.
The three of them sat down, and William said: "The situation the day after tomorrow must be very dangerous, don't work too hard, you can't deliberately go to a dangerous place!" You know what? It's a question, but it's unquestionable.
