Section 124 Dragon City Counterattacks the Knight's Solo Battle of the Nate River
The recapture of the fortress represents a complete victory for Prince Relton's counterattack strategy, and the Knight only needs to hold on to the fortress, and the barbarian army will soon be self-defeating. For this reason, the entire Knight world was jubilant, and before Montpot could send material supplies, the nearby Knight people pushed carts of all sizes and brought countless foods to reward these brave Dragon City knights.
All the Knight were immersed in a cheer of victory, and the knights of Knight, drunk in the barracks of the royal plain, slept soundly, and a vole sniffed the wine and crawled into the tent, burrowing between their bodies, and no one noticed.
The same was true of Cook, who, after learning of his cousin Caldis's victory at Yuguan, drank several jugs of wine with pleasure, and was now lying on a blanket and sleeping soundly. When the vole climbed onto the blanket where Cook was lying, Cook suddenly waved his hand in his sleep, and directly slapped the vole several meters away, and it kept squeaking and escaping out in pain.
"I can't sleep, damn rat." Cook sat up and stretched as he scolded.
Only then did he find that the guards were lying on the ground, and it seemed that they had drunk too much last night, and they had not had time to go back to their tent so they lay down here and fell asleep. Cook didn't wake them up, and climbed out of the tent with his feet up and through the gap.
The night outside the tent was dark, and there was silence all around Cook, and even the guards in the camp sat on the ground against the fence door and fell asleep. Cook was in a hurry, and he walked quickly to the fence of the camp to solve it on the spot.
As Cook comfortably fastened his belt, he seemed to hear something in the night breeze. Suddenly, Cook ran like mad to the watchtower, and sprang up with a brisk pace.
In the faint moonlight, he saw a large black shadow moving in the direction of the north side of the plain, and although it seemed to be part of the night, Cook's keen eyes had already seen it all.
"The barbarians are coming, and everyone is gathering at my speed." Cook roared as he scurried down the watchtower, angry at his carelessness, hating how he could be so overwhelmed.
Since Caldis led the First Army to attack the fortress of Yuguan, Cook stayed behind to guard the plains of the royal capital, protecting Cologne and others in the royal capital. Originally, there was a Cologne Knights of Cologne stationed in the royal capital, and the matter of defense did not need to be taken care of by the First Legion. But Caldis didn't trust those people in Cologne very much, and for the safety of His Royal Highness Prince Railton, he deliberately left the most trusted Cook to guard the plain.
When the panicked knights rushed out of the camp, Cook immediately gave the order: "Deran, quickly gather your troops and prepare for battle." Rosaba, you shall enter the city at once, and say that the barbarians have come to attack us with five thousand black knights, and inform Cologne that they will withdraw from the royal capital immediately. ”
The two replied together, "Yes, Captain." ”
Cook took the armor from the guard's hand, quickly put it on, and then immediately flipped over his horse with his spear. He then whistled at one of the assembled detachments of knights, and then led them out of the camp as fast as he could.
The night was thick, and a group of people rode their horses and galloped quickly on the path. Although everyone had drunk a lot of wine last night, everyone came to their senses at this moment, because the barbarians suddenly attacked, and they had to brace themselves to meet the enemy with all their might.
Cook didn't know how many people had come, but he was sure that this barbarian army would not be less than one knight. Due to the hasty assembly of the large army, more men would take longer to prepare, so Cook only brought a hundred knights of Knight to stop the enemy army. Cook knew in his heart that this alone would not be able to withstand the barbarians' attack, but for the sake of the life and death of the entire Knights, he had to do so, because only then could the other knights be fully assembled.
When the barbarians sneaking in the night heard the rapid sound of horses' hooves, they were all stunned, thinking that they might have entered the encirclement of the Knights, and everyone stopped in fright.
Cook didn't pay attention to so much, and directly led a hundred knights to break into the barbarian army, slashing and slashing frantically along the way. The barbarians, who had not had time to organize their formation, were in chaos, and they began to retreat one after another, believing that the Knight was coming with thousands of horses.
At the end of the charge, Cook led the knights away, causing the barbarian army to be disorganized and miserable.
By the time Cook led the knights back to the camp, the Knights had already assembled under Teresa's urging and were now marching on the plain with the Knights of Corbini, who had withdrawn from the royal capital.
However, the latest news received is terrible, the five knights of the barbarians have sneaked into the south side of the royal capital, and are now attacking the prince and Caldis stationed in Yuguan. As soon as he heard that several Imperial Knights were attacking outside Yuguan City, Cologne's legs trembled in fright, and he did not hesitate to order the Corbini army to retreat immediately.
Cook yelled at Cologne, scolding him for ignoring the prince and even reprimanding him for treason. But Cologne still did not change his mind, urging Gobini to quickly evacuate east with the Knights.
Watching the Knights of the Sunshine Waters move away from the plains with the death-feared Cologne, Cook's heart was very heavy. Although Cologne's treachery had been anticipated by Cook, Cook was furious at the despicable kingdom moth.
At present, only the knights of Cook are left in the entire royal plain, and if they can't stop the main army of Tubisi on the north side, then Caldis and the prince of Yuguan will be in a desperate situation. But the other side is attacking a full four Imperial Knights, and it seems impossible for one knight to stop the barbarian attack, and his task is difficult for Cook.
In order to prepare for this battle, Cook finally set up his position on the south bank of the only shallow section of the Knight River, and then ordered his knights to tear down all the bridges over the nearby river, so that he could use the river as a cover and occupy the favorable terrain to stop the enemy as much as possible.
Seeing those broken bridges, the Tubisi people were almost mad. The only way to cross the river to the south bank of the River is to detour through the territory of Reesburg on the east side, and the only way to cross the river is to cross the river by flowing water from that shallow section. In order to save time for the attack, Warkas had to personally lead the army of Tobis towards the location where Cook was stationed.
The battle began in an instant, and the first to rush over was Morey, who fled from Nedo, and he led 700 Imperial knights to attack directly. Cook ordered his knights to line up along the banks of the river and attack frantically with arrows. In just ten minutes of fighting, Morey's knights suffered more than 300 casualties, and in the face of the powerful attack of the Cook Knights, Morey finally had to order a temporary retreat.
It seemed difficult to storm the south bank of the river, and the Knight had been deployed high on the riverbank, ready to roll and fire at the army that was flowing across the river. When the army waded across the river, because the river flow was too fast, and the river was full of silt, the position was low, and it was difficult to launch an effective counterattack against the Knight people high on the river bank.
However, with four knights on the other side, it is difficult for one knight to withstand the constant attacks of the barbarians, since the knights of Knight carry a limited number of arrows. In order to delay as much time as possible, Cook had a plan in mind, and angrily rebuked the army of Tubis on the other side of the river: "You despicable and shameless villains have stolen the swordsmanship and spearmanship of our Knight, and also learned from our kingdom to form an army of knights. Do you think you've all really learned home? With the kung fu of your three-legged cats, you dare to dangle in front of us, and all of them will go back to the grassland to practice for a few more years. ”
This is the second time that Warkas has seen Cook in front of the army, and seeing that this Cook has always been so loud, Warkas suddenly became interested. He rode up a few steps, looked at Cook from afar, and said, "Good boy, it's you again." Last time, I was too lazy to bother with you, so you got away with it once, and today you won't be so lucky."
Cook was intimidated by him, and replied immediately: "You prince is not tired of what he has done, and he is not staying in Widun, what are you doing here with the army." How? Are you afraid that they will not work hard, but are you personally overseeing it? ”
As soon as Varkas heard it, he understood that this Cook was very witty and knew how to sow discord. Varkas then smiled and said, "You're Cook of the Earl's Palace, right?" I heard that your kid skills are very good, last time we didn't have a chance to fight alone, this time we will make up for it. What do you think? ”
Cook laughed and said, "What? Knowing that my learning skills are not proficient, are you here to ask us for advice? Okay, come on. ”
Warkas smiled and said nothing, when he was in Reesburg, Anthony was careless, and asked Robit to disguise himself as a knight captain and kill many commanders, and Warkas was very cautious about this famous Knight commander Cook.
The captains of the several knights under his hands, what their skills are, Warkas knows best in his heart. In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, Warkas directly asked the capable regiment commander to challenge, first letting Morey, who had just retreated, take the lead.
After hearing the order, Morey walked into the middle of the river with a broadsword, and said to Cook: "It turns out that you are the son of Fox Earl of the royal capital, no wonder you escaped in the territory of Nedo two years ago. I must kill you today, and see how arrogant you will be in the future. ”
Cook laughed casually, and then rode his horse out into the river.
Without saying a word, one met and fought in the river, and within a few rounds Morey was defeated on the north bank.
Seeing Morey's defeat so quickly, Vacas was so angry that his face turned red, he didn't expect this Cook to be so powerful, even the big swordsman Morey was not his opponent.
In order to dispel Cook's arrogance, Varkas sent his most proud knight chief to duel with Cook, and after a few rounds, the knight chief was stabbed into the water by Cook's shot. The blood stained the water and splashed red, and the patches spread out on the surface of the river, which made the Tubisi people a little angry.
Several of the Tubis knights tried to wade to pick up the dead knight, but were stopped by Vacass's angry gaze. For Warkass, such an incompetent knight would die for a long time, and it would be such a disgrace to the reputation of the empire, so that his body should be fed to the belly of the fish, and it was not worth burying him in the ground. Eventually, Warkas made a trick, and Utorres, who was standing behind him, finally rode down the river.
Utores was the number one of the Knights of the Empire of Thubis, and even the famous Anthony of the Empire was his apprentice, and he was a man of great achievements in the Crusade. His biggest characteristic is that he is calm-headed and very calm when doing things, so he has always been Wakas's most powerful helper and the most trusted person of Wakas.
After Utorres approached Cook, he smiled and said to Cook: "I have fought with your first Duke Connor, but unfortunately Duke Connor is old, and he was stabbed to death by me after only forty rounds. I wanted to fight your father again, but your father refused to fight me in a duel with the king, and then died with the king. My greatest wish in life is to be able to fight you Knight for hundreds of rounds, but unfortunately, I have never been able to meet such an opportunity. But God treats me well, and I was able to meet the son of the instructor of the king of Kate, and it seems that I can finally have a good fight today. ”
This Utores Cook has heard of it for a long time, and naturally he does not dare to underestimate his extraordinary strength, and he quickly solved it with Morey just now, in order to conserve his physical strength to waste time with this powerful guy. Looking at this murderer who captured Yuguan and killed Uncle Connor, Cook's heart was full of anger, and he said coldly to Utorres: "It turns out that my father also died at your hands, it seems that you are not only the enemy of Robit's brother, but also my Cook's enemy." Today, if the two of us don't kill you or me, none of us should withdraw halfway, let's get ready to take over. ”
After saying that, Cook directly drew his sword and unceremoniously slashed at Utorres.
The atmosphere of this duel was completely different from the past, as a life-and-death duel between masters and masters, coupled with the special noble status of the two, the victory or defeat decided was directly related to the highest knightly honor of the Knight and Tubis clans, and both of them raised their vigilance by twelve points.
But something surprising happened, the two were almost equal in strength, and under the entanglement of the fast wind, there were more than two news in a duel, and the two were still dead until nightfall.
Utores was very excited and passionate, he shot hard, and then took the opportunity to turn around and retreat to the side, laughing at Cook and saying: "Good boy, he is worthy of being the heir of the royal capital instructor Fawkes, his skills are really very comprehensive, and his strength is extraordinary." It's getting late now, I'm a little hungry, and you and I haven't had enough fun. Well, we'll continue here tomorrow after dawn. ”
Cook's stomach was already rumbling with hunger, and the long period of physical exertion made him feel tired and tired. He replied in agreement, "Always with you." ”。 With that, Cook turned his horse and headed back to the south bank.
