Chapter 499: The Hero King's First Battle

Arthur's military strength was not bad, except for 1,200 Red Dragon Guards, who were so strong that they were perverted, and 300 Dragon Prince cavalry, there were other weapons.

After all, Arthur was just a kid back then, and Merlin and Bradion had been desperately trying to regain the throne ten years ago.

After ten years of hard work, they have also accumulated a lot of strength on this fast island.

When he first fled Camelot City, he was followed by hundreds of elite Camelot royal knights loyal to King Uther.

Ten years of agitation and covert contact, as well as recruitment, have amassed more than 300 knights, and 1,500 fully armed and well-trained regular soldiers.

The total of more than 2,300 troops is much less than the more than 5,000 soldiers that the Duke of Vallar had warned in the last holy war, but at this moment, the kingdom of Carmellot can be said to be full of wolves.

He must have to allocate a large number of troops to other regions to stabilize the situation, and after there are rumors that he has pulled out the sword in the stone, the nobles and commoners will not necessarily listen to him, this is the advantage of pulling out the sword in the stone.

The crumbling Duke of Vallar, even if he had more troops, probably wouldn't be able to maintain his rule.

After half a day of dispatching, all the troops brought by Arthur this time finally landed on the coast.

They quickly lined up on the coast, more than 600 cavalry lined up together, and the infantry, the Red Dragon Guards in front, and the other infantry behind.

"Gawain, you are responsible for getting the soldiers in formation and preparing for the march, to our first and first target!"

"Lancelot, you lead twenty dragon prince cavalry to explore the way ten kilometers in front of the troops!"

"Bedwell, you load and lead fifty knights to escort grain and grass behind the troops!"

"The other soldiers themselves brought their own rations for the march for three days and began to march!"

Arthur's goal this time was simple, which was to capture a castle or manor near the coastline as his base.

This base can be used as a springboard to attack the enemy in close quarters, and if the enemy gathers a large number of troops to attack in close quarters, it can also be relied on for defense.

At this time, Lobin Khan was vigilantly watching the enemy troops who were only surrounded below.

After he shot and killed a fighter, the enemy retreated dozens of meters in unison.

His move succeeded in boosting the morale of the troops and demoralizing the enemy.

They firmly believe that with the leadership of Lord Lobin Khan, they will be able to defeat these minions of the Duke of Wallar and prevent them from continuing to plague the kingdom of Camelot.

However, Robin Hood seemed a little worried, although his previous words were scrappy, but as a nobleman, he knew the form he was good at at this time.

He watched the movements of the enemy forces below and knew that their attack was not far off.

And he was once only a baron, with only eighty or ninety regular armed infantry and a dozen knights, and he had never experienced such a large scale of war at this time.

The national model of the hundreds of thousands of troops fighting in the previous holy war battlefield seemed to him as far away as a book from heaven.

Moreover, his command ability is only at the level of a baron, and he knows very well how many pounds and taels he has.

Now there are more than 1,000 people, and he is a little laborious to command, and the waste of manpower and the unreasonable distribution are very serious.

And his strategic vision is still only on the battlefield of the hundreds of people at the baron level.

In fact, his team went from more than 3,000 to more than 1,000, purely due to his poor command.

If these people hadn't known that they were fighting in their reigning homeland and that there was no way out, they would have scattered long ago.

After all, the armies that could withstand one-third of the losses in the era of cold weapons were all elites, and they lost more than two-thirds.

Sure enough, although Lobin Khan's command ability was not outstanding, he still had some judgment on the battlefield, and after half an hour, the enemy really gathered his forces and began to attack the hills closely.

Since it was a hill defense, it was impossible for him to ride a horse, so he took the powerful longbow in his hand, took the bow and shot arrows, and kept shooting arrows into the enemy's sequence.

Even if they held a shield, it would be of no avail, he could always shoot arrows into the tricky parts that the shield could not protect, and every arrow he shot took a life.

However, he is a master of archery alone, and obviously has no impact on the overall situation.

Soon the enemy was closing in where they were, and brutal hand-to-hand combat ensued.

At such times, Lobin Khan, with a sword and shield in his hand, led the way to the front of the line and fought hard with the enemy.

In the Holy Cult world, noble lords have always had the habit of going to the battlefield to fight in person.

This is a custom that has been handed down for many years, and the nobles are nothing more than the military governor of a region.

Before the fall of the Dells Empire, the current Loerdes were just small tribes, and the battle between dozens and hundreds of people was still very useful for personal force.

So for the sake of their rule, as well as to accumulate fame on the battlefield, the nobles would go to the battlefield in person.

Later, after the fall of the Dells Empire, the Loerdes on the road were divided into hundreds of kingdoms, which were large and small, and even a territory the size of an earl and viscount dared to claim to be kings.

At that time, the mobilized army was not large, so they would still fight in the mall.

It's just that in the later stage of development, the Loerd people have become larger, the population has exploded in large numbers, and the population of a kingdom is millions, and the role of personal bravery on the battlefield is getting smaller and smaller, and the nobles are fighting less and less.

However, among the minor nobles in some underdeveloped areas, they would often go to war to encourage their soldiers to move forward.

Arthur had been marching for a day, and finally saw a small manor house at noon the next day, which was their goal this time.

Soon, Arthur ordered his right-hand man, Sir Gawain, to lead the knights on standby, while Lancelot led three hundred Red Dragon Guards to attack the manor.

However, to his surprise, the defenders in the manor were extremely scarce, and after the wolf-like Red Dragon Guards killed a dozen guards like chopping melons and vegetables, the champion did not put up any resistance.

After the gate of the manor opened, Arthur rode in and asked the trembling lord's wife, who had been captured, "Dear lady, I wonder why there are only a dozen guards in this manor?" ”

"My husband and my son have responded to King Camelot's omen, His Majesty Vallar, and have led troops to encircle and suppress the rebel army in the vicinity against His Majesty Valral, in the name of the pseudo-prince Arthur!"

She didn't know how strong Arthur really was, so she plucked up her courage and threatened Arthur: "They have a force of 2,000 men, they are ten kilometers to the south, and they will be back soon, I advise you to get out of here quickly, or you will be killed by him!" ”

The lord's wife and her husband were apparently loyal to the Duke of Vallar, and even in the midst of all these rumors, he remained loyal to the Duke of Vallar.

And calling Arthur, who has fulfilled the prophecy of the Hero King, a pseudo-prince, is obviously incorrigible.
