Carter and Mozart's private alliance with the Nila soon spread throughout Knight. Cologne was furious when he learned of this, and took the opportunity to publicly accuse Carter, and Knight began to accuse Carter and Mozart of betraying Knight from all over the country.

In the face of many accusations, Carter and Mozart chose to remain silent, and even though everyone was disgusted with them, no one dared to confront them head-on.

When Vaqas of the royal capital received the news, he was shocked and began to feel uneasy in his heart.

In the palace of the royal capital, Utores said to Warkas: "What we didn't want to happen, it finally happened, and we have to be careful in the future." ”

Vacas said sadly, "Yes. Originally, I thought that the Knight were very stubborn and arrogant, and they would not go to the Nila Alliance if they were killed. Now it seems that this Carter is more powerful than we thought, and he can break through the world of the Knights to ally with the enemy Nela, which shows that he Carter is very far-sighted. ”

Utorres frowned and asked, "In this case, we may have to face the simultaneous attack of the Knight and the Nila, should we focus on Cobilon next?" ”

Varkas replied with a smile, "Yes." Cologne has been in a stalemate with Carter lately, and it would be undesirable for Carter to attack Reesburg. Lisbourg is far away from Dragon City, and the supply of materials is more troublesome, and at the same time, they also have to consider the defense of Ritunburg, so we don't have to worry too much about Lisburg here for the time being. But Cobilon was different, since the last time the Nila retreated to Seoul, they Nila sent a new army to the west to hold Seoul, and now they have nearly 40,000 Nila troops in Seoul. If the Nila and the Knight were to attack, Cobilon would be dangerous. ”

Utores asked puzzledly: "But if Carter and they seize Reesburg, it will directly threaten our royal capital and Yuguan, should we also consider sending some more men to Reesburg?" ”

Vacas shook his head and replied, "Not for now." Reesburg is very close to the area we control, and if we lose it, we can always get it back. But Cobillon can't, and if Cobilon is lost, then our territory of Victoria will be exposed to the Nila. You must know that the Nila people have been very jealous of food in the past two years, and by that time the territory of Victorian has not been sacked by them very often, and we can't garrison a large army in every place in such a large territory, and things will become very difficult. So for now, we have to make sure that Cobilon is safe. ”

Utores nodded and asked, "Hmm." This warrior contest has also ended, and we don't know when the new army of the Empire will be able to come over, and with these forces in our hands, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with the combined attack of the Netes and the Neira. ”

Vacas sighed and said, "It's still early, this new regiment commander has just taken office, and it will take at least more than a year to train this new army alone. ”

Utores nodded, and soon he asked again: "This Montpot of the northern kingdom has married our princess, and now our relationship with the northern kingdom is not as good as before. If necessary, could we consider sending troops from the north to help us deal with the Nila? ”

Vacas's brows trembled slightly after hearing this, and after he pondered for a while, he slowly replied, "Well, this is also a way. However, we should not use this chess piece lightly unless it is absolutely necessary. After all, there is only a pledge of peace between us, it is not an alliance, and there is only so much they can do for us. ”

Utorres asked rhetorically: "Then can we negotiate with Caldis again to further deepen our relations and urge us to reach an alliance agreement?" That way we'll have an extra hand, and we'll have them help us pacify the people of Victoria, and we'll be able to stop worrying about the things of the Victorian mob. ”

Warkas sighed, "I don't want to sign an alliance agreement with their northern kingdom, but this peace oath and the covenant agreement are two completely different things. He Caldis originally only wanted to live a quiet life in the north, and did not want to have anything to do with the war outside, otherwise they would not consider signing a peace oath with us. ”

Utores nodded and said, "Okay, I get it. We can't count on the northern kingdom, so I'll arrange for two knights from the royal capital to garrison Cobillon. Then some archers and infantry were sent to Cobilon and Lysburg respectively to strengthen the defense of the city. ”

Varkas nodded and replied, "Okay, I am in charge with you here in the royal capital, so you don't have to think about defense matters for the time being, you can arrange it immediately." ”

Utores saluted and hurried out of the palace hall.

In the territory of Reesburg on the south side of the royal capital, Carter personally led five knights on an emergency march, and they moved quickly, appearing in the mountains and forests on the north side of Reesburg in advance like a gale.

The first battle of Reesburg soon began, and the Tubisi archers and infantry troops who came from the direction of Yuguan to garrison Reesburg were raided, and Xiao Daocheng and Assel attacked from both sides, quickly destroying the enemy troops who came to the aid of Reesburg between the mountains and forests.

The early intervention of the Knight greatly surprised Vacas and Utorres, and Utores had to personally lead the army to help Reesburg. When the defenders of Risburg found out that there was an attack from outside, they stuck to the city and closed their doors, which was the battle strategy arranged by Warkas to preserve their strength.

Carter is an excellent legion commander, and the battle will take a long time to be effective, while also being wary of reinforcements from all sides of the Tubis. Therefore, after Carter and his army cut off the supply route of Riesburg, he did not immediately attack Riesburg, but stationed on the main road and waited for the arrival of Utores reinforcements.

Since the main army of the Crusade had already arrived in Cobilon to assemble, Utores only brought reinforcements from two knights. Utores originally thought that Carter was busy attacking Reesburg at this time, but he did not expect that Carter and his army were waiting for him to arrive.

The two sides met on a wide plain, and the two armies immediately set up battle positions, and a fight was inevitable.

Utorres had already learned the Knight people in the Northland, and he wasn't very familiar with the Carter camp.

Seeing that there were three times as many enemy troops as his own, Utores did not plan to take any chances, but instead went into battle alone.

Utorres stood in front of the Knight army in Dragon City, and said loudly to Carter and the others: "Two years ago, I fought against your First Legion in Dragon City, and had a battle with Cook of the First Legion for more than 100 rounds. I still can't get enough of that duel, and I've been waiting for another chance like this. I've heard that in your Knights, it's not their First Legion that is really the most powerful, but your Second Legion's Carter faction. I don't know if there are any people like Cook among you, but I'd love to see them. ”

After listening to Utorres's challenge lines, Dimis smiled coldly, and then turned his head sideways to Carter and said: "This Utores said this on purpose, it is clear that he is stimulating us." Our knights have an absolute advantage in numbers, and there is no need to fight with him alone here. ”

Carter, however, smiled and said, "This Utores dares to shout at us like this, it's just that our people haven't shown us our strength to them." A large army should have its own reputation and prestige, and if we don't find an opportunity to let them know how powerful we are, it will be difficult for our Alto army to gain a foothold in the world. ”

After saying that, Carter reached out and drew his sword, wanting to fight Utores himself.

Carter was the supreme commander of the army, and such an impulsive thing was naturally stopped by Dimis. Before Carter could agree, Assel pulled out the long sword at his waist and rode out of the queue alone.

Seeing the leader of the red cloak coming out, Utores looked Asel up and down, frowned and asked, "It's a little familiar, have we met somewhere?" ”

Assel was very calm, and he replied quietly: "It's a little familiar, we seem to have met more than once on the battlefield of Luo Khan, and Lord Utores is very forgetful." ”

Utores was stunned for a moment and hesitated for a moment, and then he suddenly said, "Oh, I see. You are the former Knight Chief Asser, who was known as the hero of Luo Khan, under the command of King Luo Khan. ”

"That's right." , Arcel said coldly: "I am Acel, it's a pity that I have met you so many times in Luo Khan, and I have no chance to fight you alone." This time I finally got this opportunity, and today I must fight between you and me, so that you can see the true strength of my Knight swordsmanship. ”

Utores happily replied: "I have already seen the strength of Knight's swordsmanship, and your Cook has opened my eyes, so I don't know that compared to Captain Cook, you Assel can have a few percent of his skills." ”

This is obviously a sarcasm of Arcel, because Assel is behind Cook in the Dragon City Knights tournament, and it is Utores who deliberately provokes him. Naturally, Arcel was very unhappy to hear it, and he was furious, and rode his horse with his long sword to kill Utorres.

With a clang, the duel between the two masters began.

The war horses kept wandering and roaring, and the sound of weapons clashing one after another. Known for his swordsmanship, Asser attacked and defended quickly, and the thirty-six-year-old middle-aged regimental commander was at the peak of his life, completely overpowering Utorres, who was over fifty years old, in terms of momentum.

After dozens of moves, Utores felt pressured, he didn't expect this Asser's long sword to be so sharp, and he didn't even notice that Acer showed a flaw in the duel for more than half an hour.

When a Tubis guard approached in the distance, Utores knew that there was an urgent military report, so he had to slash a few swords with all his might, and retreated to the side as Assel took advantage of the random inspection.

The guard rode his horse and shouted anxiously, "Captain Utorres, Cobilon has been attacked by the Nira, and the prince has asked you to withdraw to the royal capital immediately." ”

Utores looked at Assel coldly, he didn't reply to the guard's words, but asked Assel rhetorically: "It's strange, your swordsmanship strength is on par with Cook, but why did you only win a third place in the Dragon City Knight Competition?" ”

Assel replied: "In the duel between masters, the victory or defeat is often only a small negligence. It's like between the two of us, maybe it's you who is negligent this time, maybe it's me next time, and I can't say who is better than whom. If you can ask such a question, it only proves that you are the only one who is particularly outstanding in swordsmanship, and there is no one who is comparable to you. In our Alto army, there are many people with the skill of swordsmanship like me. Two years ago, you did defeat the First Legion in Dragon City, even if you have the ability, but in front of our Alto army, I guarantee that you Utores will not take any advantage. ”

The muscles of the corners of Utores' mouth twitched as Carter had led this army to defeat the Imperial armies in Neido and Ritunburg many times, and Asser's words were obviously full of sarcasm, which made Utores look very angry.

He really wanted to save face for the empire, and he wanted to defeat them immediately, but Vaqas came with an order, and he had to stop there.

When Utores led the army to retreat, Dimis pointed to the billowing dust and said: "Hehe, Duke Carter is really like a god, this old man Wacas really pays more attention to Cobilon, it seems that they have given up on Reesburg and don't want it." ”

Xiao Daocheng replied: "Then what are we polite, let's go back and attack the city." ”

Carter nodded, and after leaving Dirmit to garrison the mountain pass, Carter led the other four knights south to encircle and attack Reesburg.

As early as when Carter's army suddenly appeared in Reesburg, Carter was ready for the later attack on Reesburg, cutting off the water supply to Reesburg in advance. Riesburg was not prepared for battle, and the city's water reserves were quickly depleted, and the will of the Tubis defenders to resist was quickly eroded.

The Battle of Ribsburg lasted only three days, and as the Topis broke out of the city, Lysburg eventually returned to the hands of the Knights.

Although Carter successfully captured Reesburg, the battle between the Cobilonira and the Tupis was very close, and the war lasted for more than a month before it was declared. Eventually, the Nira occupied half of the eastern part of the Cobillonian territory, while the Thubis still controlled the city and the western half of the territory.

For Carter, the capture of Reesburg was like a chicken rib, and once the barbarians counterattacked the city, it could be abandoned at any time, because with the current strength of Dragon City, it was not enough to maintain such a long defensive line.

However, this is just a move by Carter, in order to suppress the unfair distribution of Cologne's territory in Wucheng and Huiyuan, and show the world that he is the actual controller of Dragon City. The Reconquest of Reisburg silenced everyone, and Carter proved his wisdom with practical actions, so that all Knight people no longer felt that Carter and the Neela alliance was a betrayal.

Everyone has a scale in their hearts, as long as it is for the sake of the best, the process is not really important. People can understand Carter's plight, the aristocracy has also given up their prejudice against Carter, more and more people have begun to choose to support Carter, and the Knight world has been calling for Carter higher and higher.

At this time, Cologne, who was in the Dragon City, had spoken out before the First World War in Reesburg, and the final result slapped him in the face, which made many nobles who supported him begin to fall to Carter, making Cologne further isolated.

There is a constant rumor in the world of Knight that Carter has been protected by the gods of Knight and that the true king of Knight has been resurrected.
