Section 40 Duel before the battle
In the Tubis camp, the knights' skin color, armor, and horse color were all black, and even the wolf flag above their heads was black. This is the legendary Black Knights of the Barbarians.
The Wolf Banner was familiar to the Knights, and it was the barbarian army with this banner that occupied Yuguan and the royal capital, that is, this army destroyed the knight kingdom. The Wolf Banner is the battle flag of Prince Vacas' Palace, and is now also the military flag of the Crusade Legion of the Tupis Empire.
The Black Knights came to a halt a hundred meters away from the Knight Knights, and the two armies faced each other, and the two sides fell into a brief silence.
The hot south wind gently swept across the earth, quickly blowing away the dust raised behind the Black Knights, and the entire army of Tubis clearly appeared in the field of vision. This is a complete barbarian black knight order, two thousand heavily armed black knights lined up, forming a semi-encirclement of the small group of knights in front of them.
The number of enemy troops exceeded everyone's imagination, and I thought that it was only the advance vanguard of the barbarians, but I didn't expect it to be a whole black knight order. The Knight only had eighty knights from the fort, and it was obviously impossible to win the war in front of them.
Surrounded by vast plains, the enemy army is a powerful army of the Black Knights, and there is no way to escape. As for Cook, he had no choice to escape at this time, because behind them were thousands of Knight people, and all their lives were tied to their own lives.
It seems as fate has been arranged, and Cook is destined to undergo the most severe test here; Whether it's a hero or a bear can be revealed after this battle.
Cook was by no means as mediocre as he seemed, although he was the son of an earl, and although he was only one of many knights of Knight, at this moment, Cook had one thing on his mind.
Cook knew very well in his heart that taking these 100 knights to fight against the army of 2,000 black knights would be simply sending them to death. This war must not be fought like this, and it must be done in a different way, which requires the use of the brain.
The barbarians on the opposite side did not move, not knowing what they were waiting for. Cook rode his horse alone, slowly stepped forward, and shouted to the commander in front of the enemy army: "I heard that you are also knights, and I don't know what your skills are. I've never met any of your masters, and I'm looking forward to it. ”
The commander of the other party smiled coldly after hearing this, and said to Cook with disdain: "You knights of the Knight are all dead?" Why did you send a little fart kid to battle? How old are you, little friend? ”
Obviously, Cook is not a child, but he is still two or three years away from adulthood, and the other party said this to satirize Cook's youth.
In this battlefield matchup, mentality is key, and Fox told Cook this countless times in training camp. Cook smiled slightly, and said very briskly: "I'll just be idle, and take a team of knights out for a walk." I've heard how terrible you Black Knights are, but I don't think so. On the other side, if you think you're a knight, you might as well come and fight me for a few rounds, do you have the guts? ”
Hearing a young man provoke himself like this, Commander Tubith obviously couldn't hold his breath. I saw him snort coldly, and motioned to the knight chief beside him, asking him to go out and teach this kid who didn't know the height of the sky.
The chief knight grinned, as if he had been waiting for a long time, and immediately rode over with a broadsword.
The two of them swore high and low, and the two horses drove head-on, and at the moment of contact, the sound of the blade clanged. The two war horses were staggered and circling, and you attacked and I defended in turn, and it was indistinguishable for a while.
At this time, Cook was no longer the same as when he was a bandit, he was still afraid of killing a person before, and now he only had revenge in his heart, and he wanted to kill a few more barbarians to vent his anger. It's just that this is an extraordinary time, and nothing can be rushed, and Cook knows very well what he is doing, and his purpose is very simple, which is to delay as much time as possible for the evacuation of the people in the rear.
Because this is something that Cook had planned in his heart for a long time, although he has the skills at his disposal, now he has to pretend to be tender and play with this knight for dozens of more rounds.
Faced with the destruction of the kingdom and the lives of tens of thousands of people, Cook knew how heavy the courage was on his shoulders, and he seemed unusually calm at this time.
In the matter of pretending, Cook can be said to have taken great pains, he can neither show that he is better than the barbarian knight, nor can he let the other party see any flaws, so this is actually a technical job. Cook slowed down a few beats, blushed pretendedly, and waved his spear with difficulty, reluctantly struggling to fight the knight.
But De Lan, who was behind, was terrified, and several times when there was danger, he almost couldn't help but rush out, but fortunately, Cook could still dodge in time, which was considered to be dangerous. Delan was in a hurry, because Earl Fox had entrusted Cook to him, and he absolutely did not want to see any accident for Cook here, otherwise he would never be able to forgive himself.
can confuse this knight from the battlefield and can't score clearly, Cook's performance can be regarded as very wonderful.
However, the barbarian commander was impatient, and he broke Cook's plan to kill time, and shouted at the knight chief, "Get back to me, useless things, not even a child can handle them." ”
Hearing the commander's scolding, the chief knight had no choice but to put away his broadsword, and reluctantly turned around and withdrew to the camp.
At the signal of the barbarian commander, another knight with a double scimitar rode out and continued to fight Cook.
The knight's strength was indeed stronger, and the two knives danced wildly in his hands, and the knives went straight to Cook's vital parts. Playing with swords and guns is Cook's specialty, and in the previous training camp in the royal capital, Cook has been playing with these weapons every day since he was a child, and he has been playing for ten years.
Although it was the first time that Cook had seen someone make such a scimitar, Cook casually glanced at it and got a rough idea of the arc and length of the scimitar, and then he repeated the old trick and continued to play the trick of delaying time with the knight.
The new knight captain still couldn't succeed, and the two fought, and the time passed for more than twenty minutes in a flash.
The commander of the other party is named Morey, twenty-four years old this year, and he is the head of the Black Knights of the Tubis Empire, and he is currently leading the fifteenth knight order of the Empire. Morey was an impulsive man who easily lost patience, and when he saw that the two knight captains could only draw with Cook, he gritted his teeth in anger and wanted to peel Cook immediately.
However, this Morey is indeed a capable commander under Vacas, although his knighthood ranks fifteenth in the Empire, but this Morey is very brave and tenacious. The Tubis Empire, like the previous Knight Kingdom, also talks about status and seniority in the ranking of the clan number. Therefore, although Morey's number is fifteenth, this does not mean that his strength ranks fifteenth in the empire.
The Tubis Empire, which is thriving, has countless masters of Wolong and Tibetan Tiger, and no one can conclude that Morey's strength can rank first in the Tubis Empire.
Either way, Morey couldn't wait any longer, and he roared angrily to call back the Captain of the Twin Swords, and rushed out with a long sword in his hand.
Judging from the previous two duels, Morey felt that he had figured out the details of this young man, and for the sake of the reputation of the Knights, he decided to solve him himself, and Morey was sure of this.
At this time, Delan also pulled out his long sword and stepped forward, and shouted at Morey: "What do you mean by taking turns, is there no one to bully me Knight?" ”
Seeing a middle-aged knight coming out, Morey did not panic, he grabbed the reins and replied: "Okay, you young man is quite capable, I will let you go down to rest first, and then come to you to compete with him after I clean him up." ”
Cook didn't expect Deland to pop up suddenly, which completely disrupted his plan, blaming himself for not discussing it with DeLan. Now that the opponent also agreed to Deland's challenge, Cook had to lead the horse back to the back to watch the battle.
What Deland's strength is, Cook is very clear, after all, Delan has been the chief knight under Fox for many years, and Cook is very familiar with him, and he is full of confidence in Delan Cook. However, the other party is the supreme commander of the Black Knights, and presumably his strength will not be worse than the two knights in front of him.
Delan is from the Yuguan battlefield, and Morey has more combat experience, but Delan has always been a knight captain, and his position seems to be a lot lower than Morey. For Cook, it is of great significance to observe Delan fighting the head of the other Knights, and it is completely possible to touch the opponent's bottom through DeLan. You can see who is more powerful compared to the excellent knights of the Knight and the excellent knights of the Barbarians.
The world says that Fawkes is a master, not to mention that Delan is also the chief knight of the Royal Capital Knights, and as the two of them intertwined their long swords, a fierce battle began to be staged.
The other party is only a small detachment of knights, and to Morey, their highest officer is only the chief of the guard, how powerful can he be. But from the performance of the previous boy, it can be seen that the leader of this team of Knight Knights seems to be a little different, and even his own two Knight Captains failed to take him down, which is rarely seen in the previous Knight army.
So although Morey was more aggressive, he was more vigilant in the fight with Deran, because he felt that this man dared to come forward, and he must be more powerful than that young man. Thick and fine is one of Morey's characteristics, which is why he is qualified to become the head of the Imperial Knights. Every knight leader in the Tubis Empire is not an ordinary person, and money can't buy the position of captain in the empire, everything has to rely on strength, which is the biggest difference between them and the knights.
Morey's vigilance was necessary, because at the moment of the fight, he felt the opponent's strong attack. If you hadn't been on guard early, you would probably have died here because of carelessness. At such a life-and-death moment, Morevan did not dare to underestimate the enemy, he calmly faced the fight and counterattacked with all his might, without leaking a flaw to Delan.
This fight lasted for more than an hour, and the two of them were like they were spent here, endlessly entangled, and no one could take down the other.
Cook, who was standing on the side, was overjoyed, but he didn't expect Delan's appearance to help him achieve his goal, delaying the time minute by minute. Every minute that delays this army of black knights here gives the people more hope of escaping, and it is everyone's duty to be a knight.
In fact, Cook didn't know, and Delan thought so in his heart at this time, but he felt that it would be safer for this kind of task to be completed by himself, after all, Cook was still young.
But the strength of the barbarian commander in front of him is not simple, and he is much more powerful than the two knight commanders in front of him. From the moment they last met, Delan knew that it was going to be a tough battle, and who would be able to hold out until the end was not clear in his own heart.
Delan is not acting, he is indeed doing his best to fight Morey, this is a battlefield, he can be killed at any time, no child's play.
