More than ten days passed, and a total of 150,000 people of the Eastern Jihadist Army finally arrived at the border of the Kingdom of Astra.

During this period, Archduke Wallace often came to William's place, or called William to him, and the two sides had a cordial and friendly exchange.

During this period, William finally had a certain understanding of the Grand Duchy of Krilla, the royal family of the Grand Duchy of Krilla is relatively large, and there are several royal families in the lineage, that is, there are brothers and sisters with Archduke Wallace.

This is the characteristic of countries with a long history, their royal families are often very large, except for some countries whose descendants are not prosperous, many royal families will have more members, and there is no need to worry about the end of the dynasty due to the extinction of the heir.

For example, this time, among the nobles brought out by Archduke Wallace, there was one of his own brothers, one cousin, and one of his own sisters.

The sister was now following Archduke Wallace to visit William in his carriage.

"William, this is Countess Vernell, my sister, that is, your little aunt, she is also a cadre of our Wallace family, she has led the army and made many achievements, I have awarded her the title of countess, you have to respect her!"

Archduke Wallace said to William.

"Yes, Father, I will definitely respect my aunt!" After this period of time together, William called Archduke Wallace his father, and he looked at Countess Venel respectfully and said.

"Auntie, you are really well maintained, you look younger than my wife, your skin is smooth like a teenage girl!"

William complimented Countess Vernell, whose words were exaggerated, but not unfounded.

Although the Countess of Vernell is nearly forty years old this year, she is very attentive to the maintenance of her skin, not to mention that she has the skin of a teenage girl like William's compliment.

But her skin is really good, a girl about twenty years old is estimated to have this skin, plus as a warlike nobleman, her body is also very elastic because of perennial exercise, and there is no trace of loss due to age.

She covered her mouth, and said with a smile in the usual manners of those noble ladies: "Haha, you are really good at talking, my dear little nephew, I like you more and more!" ”

"Haha, aunt, you're joking, I'm not complimenting, it's a fact, I haven't seen a more beautiful lady than you, my aunt!"

William smiled and said, this Countess Vernell is the most prominent person in the royal family of the Grand Duke of Krisla, so he values her more seriously.

A few more days passed, and William's relationship with his titular brother, Earl Creed, had always been lukewarm, but in the presence of Archduke Wallace, they had always been brothers, friends, and brothers.

They had entered the territory of the Norweed barbarians a day earlier, but after a day's march they had found no enemy.

At this moment, the fifty light cavalry outposts at the front who were responsible for exploring the way discovered the anomaly.

"Your Excellency! A group of armed men in action were spotted ahead, they numbered about two hundred, and I think they were the patrols of the Norweed barbarians! ”

One of the Cheker hussars, speaking a fluent Lordelian language, said to the officers beside him that these Chekers had already been subdued and assimilated by William, and now even if they were allowed to return to the Chekel tribe, they would desperately refuse.

After all, they don't want to go back to those days when they don't take the next meal, and now they live such a nourishing life in Denlenburg, who wants to go back?

"Norweed barbarian patrols?" The officer muttered, and then said to the man, "You go and talk to Officer Niza, let him act with us, this is the first battle of the beginning of the holy war, and the credit is ours!" ”

And the other team officer also agreed to his proposal, after all, this is the first battle of the holy war, if this battle can be fought beautifully, then their exploits will be remembered by everyone.

In this way, two teams of 100 men, dressed in leather armor and cotton armor and a layer of chain mail, with spears and sabers in their hands, and recurved riding bows on their backs, walked towards the Norweed barbarian patrol.

In fact, the current light cavalry is mainly because of the assembly, so they breathe a layer of leather armor and cotton armor and cotton clothing, otherwise there is only a layer of leather armor and chain mail, and the reason of the season makes their defense more powerful.

In this season of ice and snow, especially in the northernmost Norweed territory, the weather was unusually cold, and the bowstrings of the hussars were tight.

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves sounded, and bursts of snow foam were raised by the galloping horses' hooves, and the hussars kept their mouths shut and walked silently towards their targets.

"Listen! What was that? ”

One of the Norwid barbarian leaders spoke their language to another leader beside him.

"I don't know, is it thunder? No, how can there be thunder in winter? ”

The little leader said suspiciously, not reacting to what was going on, it was due to the fact that the Norweed territory did not produce horses and had no cavalry.

But soon, someone reacted, and another leader said in horror: "This is the sound of horses' hooves!" The enemy's cavalry has arrived!! ”

As soldiers patrolling and bordering, although they don't have their own horses, they have not heard some horses' hooves recently, and the wandering knights recruited from the Kingdom of Astra often attack them, so they also have some impressions of these horses' hooves.

Reacting to the sound of horses' hooves, they hurriedly began to be on alert, although they did not have any military discipline or formation, but they still knew the key points of vigilance after a hundred battles.

When the roaring hooves approached, the enemy appeared before their eyes.

Seeing the light cavalry arriving on war horses, the Norweed barbarians couldn't help but let go of the big stone in their hearts a little, after all, the equipment of the light cavalry was still inferior to those wandering knights before.

Although the equipment of the wandering knights here is not very good, at least they can put together a set of leather chain mail and horse armor, which looks much stronger than the light cavalry.

Therefore, after these Norwids saw the light cavalry, they subconsciously thought that this was not the elite force of the enemy.

As everyone knows, they are also a fairly elite part of William's troops, and after the heavy cavalry is divided, it is up to them to encircle, separate, annihilate, and pursue tactical actions.

In fact, they have more tasks to carry than knights, and it is only because the knights are too powerful on the battlefield and the tasks are too arduous that the knights have more status than these light cavalry.

The end is already predestined, and they will soon pay for their light enemies.

Before the hussars could reach him, they first took out their cavalry bows from behind, drew their bows, and prepared for the first round of shooting.
