Section 48 The Imperial Wolf Banner
Seeing a war kill so many barbarians, Cook, who was bent on revenge, was shocked by the mountains of corpses piled up in front of him. Cook didn't even understand why people were fighting so much, why couldn't they get along well? We have killed so many barbarians here today, so how many barbarians should remember their hatred and come to the Knight for revenge? At the thought of these things, Cook's face was filled with sadness.
Cook's kindness can be seen, he is not a big evil person, he grew up in a training camp and has not been tainted with the vices of those nobles at all. Cook has always felt that a war can be won or lost, and the loser should let him withdraw immediately. And the real battlefield shocked Cook, it turned out that war is such a thing, and neither side will give up easily until the last moment. Cook was amazed by the bravery of these barbarians who sacrificed themselves in order to win the victory.
War is cruel, and there is no mercy for anyone here, and Robit, who is slightly older, understands this very well. He didn't feel bloody, on the contrary, he felt sorry for not being able to slash the other Knight's Leader. Robit was busy and treated the corpses of these barbarians like a pile of garbage, constantly urging: "Hurry up, these filthy corpses must be buried in time, so as not to accumulate and rot and breed mosquitoes." ”
Seeing Robit calmly directing the knights to clean up the corpses surprised Cook and Miller. The two admired Robit's might very much, but after they saw these corpses, their hearts seemed very unsettled, and they stood aside in a daze.
Carter seemed to be a very unusual young man, and when everyone was relieved, he came to O'Higgins' side, and asked worriedly, "Captain, if the barbarians send more knights to attack the mountain pass next time, or take advantage of our slackness, then what should we do?" ”
O'Higgins was in a very good mood because of the victory in the battle, and he patiently replied to Carter: "Don't worry, we will always send people to garrison here, and the barbarians have no chance." ”
Carter replied, "There are times when people are tired, and the days to come will be long, so that the Knights will not be allowed to watch like this twenty-four hours a day." The valley is so narrow that it's perfect for building a fortress like Yuguan, so that we can do it once and for all, and we don't have to worry about the barbarians coming to sneak up on it. ”
O'Higgins didn't pay much attention to it, he looked at the valley in the dark night, smiled and said, "Yes, when there is a chance in the future, the best thing is to build a fortress here, so that Dragon City can ensure that it is safe and sound." ”
"Why wait later?" Carter turned to the dense refugee camp and said, "There are so many refugees gathered here now, manpower is not a problem. ”
Carter's words woke O'Higgins, he frowned and thought for a moment, then wrote a letter and arranged for the knight to report to the Duke of Dragon City for confirmation.
Just as the Knight were planning to build a new fortress at the mountain pass, the Tubis who had fled back to Nedor were already arguing.
For the defeat of the Battle of the Dragon City, Johansen and Osborne shirked each other's responsibilities, blaming each other for not listening to their own persuasion and forcing the attack. The two quarreled so much that Morey didn't know who was real and who was fake.
When the two were arguing, Morey finally went berserk: "Shut up for me, defeat is defeated, what else is there to quarrel about." You two knights, after the First World War, can't even make up a knight order. How many knights do you think the Empire has in store for you? Don't talk nonsense, you two will stay with me to stay in Nado. I have already sent a letter to the royal capital, and I will wait for the prince to give a reply if there is any problem. ”
Morey was the commander-in-chief of the garrison in Nedo, and the two naturally did not dare to snub him, and accepted his orders one after another.
Prince Wakas, who is in the royal capital, is the younger brother of King Luojia VI of the Tubis Empire, he is forty-four years old, his wife has been dead for many years, and he is still single and has not remarried. His wife left him only a lovely daughter, Fiona, who was only fifteen years old.
The main reason why Varkas did not marry again was because he could focus more on state affairs. In the Tubis Empire, Varkas is the most trusted person of the king, he is in charge of all military and political power in the empire, and is the de facto ruler of the empire. Under the governance of Varkas for more than 20 years, the Tubis Empire has changed its cowardice and become the overlord of the western side of the continent.
For the humiliation of three hundred years ago, Warkas spent more than twenty years preparing for this war, and his ultimate goal was to occupy the royal capital and rob the fertile land of the Knights. Therefore, despite the opposition of the imperial ministers, he personally led the Eastern Expeditionary Army to the eastern border of the empire two years ago, and launched this earth-shattering Knight invasion.
In the past two years, the empire has achieved great success, not only killing the king of the Knights, but also capturing the royal capital of the Knights, and now setting up the command post of the Crusade army in the palace of the Knights. Vacas had already set a goal that had been completely accomplished, and he didn't expect the Knight to be so vulnerable, so he came up with another bold new idea. He decided to completely annex all the lands of the Knight people, and make the empire the master of the land forever.
The plan to completely conquer the Knight has already been implemented, and the Imperial army will attack Dragon City and the North Kingdom in two directions at the same time, as long as the advance speed is fast enough, the Empire will be able to completely conquer this great plain by the end of this year, making the middle of the continent a territory of the Empire, and then it can continue to carry out the sacred mission of unifying the continent.
However, to Warkass's surprise, a group of Knight knights from the north broke his dream and ruthlessly wiped out his two Imperial Knights in the northern realm. Seeing that the battle to capture Knight was coming to an end, there was such a group of Knight people who were not afraid of death running out to make a dying struggle, which made Vacas very annoyed.
Who is William? Warkas didn't know, he had never heard of this knight before. But it was such an unknown knight who led 2,500 Fengdu paladins to kill the imperial army all the way, and directly attacked the royal capital in the south.
Maple Paladin, this is a name that scares all Tubis people. Three hundred years ago, the Horde Alliance invaded Kneten and swept through the battlefield to become invincible. Seeing that the tribal army was about to successfully capture the royal capital, a group of paladins from Fengdu swept the tribal army overnight, causing the tribal alliance to return defeated. This humiliation lasted for more than three hundred years, during which countless tribesmen died tragically at the hands of the knights of Knight. The blood debt owed by the Knight people is remembered by every tribesman in the west, and it will never be forgotten from generation to generation.
Now the Tubis Empire, which represents all the tribes, has made a comeback, and wiped out the 10,000 most elite Fengdu paladins of the Knight people in Luo Khan.
The scene of three hundred years ago seems to be repeating itself, the Holy Knights of the Knight have already attacked the town of Uba, and it is only a dozen miles away from the royal capital.
After more than twenty years of hard planning, and now that he is about to be destroyed by the paladins, Prince Vacas has long been on pins and needles.
Outside the royal capital, the First Knights of the Empire of Utores and the Princely Order of Warkas assembled together on the plain. Dressed in a set of pitch-black armor, Varkas calmly stood at the front of the army, personally commanding the army to break the myth of the undefeated army of the Knight Paladins.
He seems to have been waiting for this battle for a long time, it was this army that humiliated their people for hundreds of years, and today, as the rising man of the imperial army, he wants to prove with practical actions that the glory of the Knight is a thing of the past, and the new imperial knights are the real warriors on the continent.
In order to achieve this goal, this time Vacas did not use traps, did not send people to ambush, and did not intend to bribe and surrender the Knights. He wants to fight the Paladins of the Knight in a dignified manner, and if he wins, he will destroy the spiritual pillars of the Knight so that the Empire can rule them well.
The black knights of Tubis were densely lined up on the plain, and the ranks of the Prince's Knights were exceptionally neat, and the black war horses of the entire Knights, together with the black wolf flag above their heads, looked like an undead army from hell.
They waited for the arrival of the Knight until the sound of horses' hooves rumbled in the distant plains.
The army of paladins in Fengdu arrived as scheduled, and they rushed forward in a gallop and shouting.
The paladins were fully equipped, each with a shield and spear, a sword at his waist, a colorful cloak, and even a special cloth for his horses. This is indeed not the average Knight Knights' attire, especially the red maple leaf flag above their heads, which looks particularly bright in the sun. The maple leaf represents the northern kingdom and also represents the maple paladin, and it is this awe-inspiring banner that once created the myth of Knight's invincibility.
But standing here today is the more powerful Imperial Wolf Banner, and Warkas is wearing the sword of their Knight King Furyk, the first of the four knightly swords that the Knight are proud of, the King's Sword, which is the sword of their god of war, Knight. After Warkas killed the king and many princes in Yuguan, the king's sword became a trophy for Warkas and a deterrent to the Knights.
The knights' army of paladins came rushing all the way, and they didn't seem to plan to gather their troops to regroup, but rushed straight at the army of the Tubis.
The battle was simpler than expected, they did not fight in an orderly formation, did not pay attention to how to form and form, and simply rushed to kill and fight. The two armies quickly mingled with each other after clashing, and they were purely competitive with each other.
This time, Varkas did not act as a commander who watched the battlefield from afar, but personally swung his sword to lead the army to meet the enemy. As the founder of the Imperial Black Knights' army, pure knight-style fighting is his favorite battle, and this time he wants to win the knights' paladite army with dignity, so Warkas also personally fights the knights in the battlefield with the knights.
The Knights of Utores did not join the war, as the Prince had repeatedly told him not to break his rivalry with the Knight Paladins. Because only by winning the Knight in this way can the myth of the invincibility of their holy horse army be broken, and the world of Knight can be completely conquered.
The battle lasted from noon to evening, and the blood-red maple leaf flags fell one by one, and the ground was strewn with the corpses of the knights on both sides. At the end, there were more and more black knights standing on the plains, and the banner began to slowly turn into a uniform Imperial Wolf Flag, until the last Maple Leaf Banner also fell, and the Knight finally failed.
Vacas reached out to wipe the blood from his face, instructed the knights to intercept the fleeing knights, and then began to search for the other party's commander, William, in the corpse.
Seeing that the war was coming to an end, Utores rode over happily and was very active in finding William's body for the prince.
Soon, Utores had the guards drag a bloody paladin's corpse to Varkas in front of him.
After coming to Vakas, Utores said cheerfully: "Your Excellency, you have finally done it, you are the true god of war of our empire. Look, this is that William. ”
I've been looking forward to seeing what kind of character William is on the other side, but when Warkas saw the body of the knight chief William, Warkas felt that this person was very ordinary and had nothing to pay attention to. So he waved his hand very casually, and asked the soldier to drag the disgusting corpse away.
After his own personal pressure, a scene of history did not repeat itself after all, and his black knights did not disappoint him.
Vacas looked up at the wolf flag fluttering in the wind behind him, and a proud smile appeared on his face.
In mid-July 470 of the year Nether, the army of paladins, representing the soul of the Knight army, attacked the royal capital and was defeated by Prince Waqas. In this battle, the knights' army of paladins was wiped out with nearly 2,000 killed. The Knights of the Princes of the Tubiss lost 1,600 men, and Warkas narrowly won the war. The myth of the undefeated army of the Knight Holy Horsemen has since been shattered.
