Chapter 218: Dawn Decisive Battle
Sir Cerf lay on the ground, the sword in his abdomen penetrating his body completely because of its neutrality, and blood continued to seep out of his body.
And his own long sword was tightly held in his hand, soaked in blood all over the ground, and the scene was quite tragic.
"Tse...... Sir Seph ......" the other knight looked at Sir Sef lying on the ground, muttering his name.
There was grief in his tone, he had grown up with Sir Cerf, and the two of them were the closest people except Viscount Cowen.
Viscount Cowen is like a father to them, and between the two of them, they are like brothers, and their feelings are very deep.
"Cerf!!"
The knight collapsed to the ground, blinded, followed by a terrible wail, full of despair and utter sorrow.
"Cerf ......"
And Viscount Cowen, who was on the side, also looked at the corpse of Sir Sef lying on the ground in despair, as if he had been drained of all his strength.
"Cerf...... You don't need such ......! ”
Viscount Cowen also has a very deep affection for Sir Cerf, not to mention that he raised Sir Cerf since he was a child, just after he fell during this time, other knights have been out of his control.
There are only two of them left, and they can still serve him by his side as usual, in addition to the feelings they usually get along, they are also mixed with some touching.
This act of perseverance deeply touched Viscount Cowen, just as Viscount Serindil said, he is no longer the nobleman of Denlenburg who had many talents and soldiers under his command.
He was just an exiled nobleman who had lost his territory and army, as well as all the knights, and was dispensable to anyone.
It was already his luck to have these two knights and Sanming squires by his side.
There are always such brain-dead knights among knights, Sir Cerf is not that kind of brain-dead knight, if Viscount Curvin hadn't raised him since he was a child and treated him well, then it is estimated that he would definitely not follow him.
He will not give his life for him, but often many times, the word knight does not represent only a low-level nobleman who fights professionally.
He also represents a spirit that has little to do with the knightly declarations, still the spirit of sacrifice and risk, and most importantly, loyalty!
It is true that most of the knights are some self-righteous goods, and their character is not very good, but you can't beat everyone to death just because some of them are killed.
There were indeed some vindicators among the knights, who kept their vows and regarded loyalty as honor, and desperately defended their lordship.
Sir Cerf was not even a typical example of this, for his loyalty was due to the actions of Viscount Curvin.
But those knights, as long as they are loyal to their lord, will serve him for the rest of their lives until they die in battle.
William used to really scoff at this spirit, and he didn't even believe in knightly loyalty, he only thought that knights were mercenaries for the territory.
Therefore, for a long time he did not even want to recruit knights, and he had even thought of a plan to completely abolish the knightly system and establish a heavy cavalry unit.
However, in the past five years, William had really seen a knight like that a few times, and when he was on the battlefield, there were even knights who blocked the stabbing spears for his lord.
This made William's heart very emotional, even the young knight who was canonized by William before, the father of Knight Ouruo, he died on the battlefield to protect William.
His death touched William's heart very much, and from that time on, William began to understand the knight class, and had more communication with his knights, often exchanging feelings with them.
Of course, the number of such knights is also very small, it can be said that they are rare, but the chivalry and atmosphere here are even stronger than that of Western Europe and France, the hometown of knights in William's previous life.
At that moment, Ser Bwin, who had killed Ser Cerf, stepped forward, turned Ser Cerf's body over, and drew the sword that was stuck in his chest.
"You're a good knight, but it's a pity you didn't follow a good monarch!" Sir Bowen drew his sword, crouched down, and whispered into Sir Cerf's ear.
Sir Seph, on the other hand, widened his eyes as if he had not died, as if he were telling of his bravery and loyalty during his lifetime.
"Cerf!!"
The other knight finally recovered from his stupor, and with a "clang" he drew his long sword at his waist and was about to charge towards Sir Bowen.
His expression was crazy, and his mouth was screaming desperately, and his posture was like a vow not to kill Sir Bowen.
Although Viscount Cowen was extremely sad in his heart, he was still able to maintain a certain level of calm due to the experience he had experienced, and he knew very well that if the knight really fought hard with Sir Bowen, it would be a real consequence.
Sir Bowen's ability to easily kill Ser Cerf shows that he is extremely strong, even if Ser Cerf is injured in the left arm.
Therefore, this knight is not necessarily an opponent of Sir Bowen, and if he dies again, then Viscount Cowen will really be alone.
And if this knight is lucky enough to win, then it will definitely annoy Viscount Serindil, anyway, Viscount Serindil did not accept his challenge, he can completely use the excuse of being offended to deal with this knight.
"Stop Sir Barrus!"
Viscount Kewen hurriedly ordered the three attendants who were hiding on the side.
The three attendants received the order of Viscount Curwen and hurried to Sir Barrus's side, and the three of them hugged him tightly.
Especially with the hand in which he held the sword, if Sir Barrus went mad and stabbed them with a sword, it would be more than worth the loss.
Sir Barrus screamed desperately as he stopped, and by this time he had lost his mind, and had no idea what he was doing.
And Viscount Cowen endured the shame and sadness in the letter, walked up to Viscount Serindil, lowered his body, and said in a humble tone: "I'm really sorry, Viscount Serindil!" ”
"My knight is so reckless that he dares to launch a duel against you, it is simply beyond his strength, but fortunately, your knight is strong and killed him in time, otherwise I don't know what to do with him!"
Just as Viscount Curvin bowed his head and admitted his mistake, William and Viscount Winston were already facing each other on relatively flat ground.
Time was not more than dawn, and they both set up their formations and watched each other's troops like this.
William's side desperately mobilized more than 6,000 people, plus more than 7,000 mercenaries, while Viscount Winston on the other side mobilized more than 10,000 people.
They have completely squeezed out all the potential of the territory at this moment, except for the old ones who can't move, all of them have been pulled out.
Even some of the more sturdy peasant women were in the enemy's light infantry sequence.
