As the barbarians stopped attacking, the battle at the mountain pass came to an end for the time being, and the two sides continued to confront each other. Robit seized the opportunity and hurriedly ordered the knights to clean up the battlefield under the mountain pass, retrieve the arrows scattered at the bottom of the valley, and remove the corpses of the barbarians.

This mountain pass is the only entrance to the east side of the territory of Dragon City, and under the mountain pass is a slender canyon, more than 800 meters long and 70 meters wide. The Longcheng River flowed through the valley floor, occupying nearly half the width of the canyon, and the river was full of barbarian corpses at this time, and the blood completely stained the river red.

O'Higgins walked quickly from the back of the knights' ranks, and asked Robit curiously, "Isn't it better to have this corpse piled up at the bottom of the valley to stop the barbarians from attacking, why do you want to clean it up instead?" ”

Robit replied, "Piling corpses at the bottom of the valley will indeed deter the barbarians, but it will also prevent us from attacking. If the forces of these barbarians are not consumed here, even if they withdraw today, they will still come to challenge tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and our Dragon City will not be able to be at peace either. ”

O'Higgins frowned and asked, "Do you mean that you still have to fight their black knights head-on?" ”

Robit replied in the affirmative: "Of course, if you don't fight them head-on, how can you consume their troops?" This valley is the most beneficial for us, and if we don't eliminate some of their Black Knights here, how long will we stay? ”。

Robit's words were very clear, and O'Higgins knew very well in his heart that if the two knights faced off in an open duel on the plains, it would be difficult for the Dragon City Knights to have a chance to win.

But these barbarians have already suffered in the valley, will they be so stupid to send the knights to continue the attack? O'Higgins wasn't sure about this, but he didn't open his mouth to ask Robitt, and in his heart he felt that the young man in front of him, like his father, seemed to be born a good commander. The previous battle had proved this well, and under Robit's heroic command, the barbarians had dropped more than a thousand corpses in the valley, while the Knights of Dragon City had only a few minor injuries. Such an excellent result is the first time in the kingdom's two-year war that it has appeared, so O'Higgins is full of confidence in Robit.

However, at this time, Robitt was uncertain, and he was not sure whether the barbarians would attack. But one thing he knows very well is that only by staying here can Knight have any hope of winning. The first time he led a knight order to fight, Robit didn't dare to attack rashly, the two black knights on the other side were not so easy to deal with, and it was always right to fight steadily.

The two sides were at such a stalemate on both sides of the pass that it lasted until late in the evening.

Just when the people were at their most hungry, a huge convoy of people came from the east, loaded with fragrant bread, and all the refugees cheered happily.

Escorting the convoy was Roshabar, who could not wait to distribute food to the refugees and rode his horse to the mountain pass alone. Rossabar was in a hurry, and he called out as he ran: "Cook, has anyone seen Cook from our Earl's Court?" ”

When they reached the pass, Deran, who was stationed behind the Knights, replied in a loud voice: "Roshabal, I am Teresa. ”

When Roshabal heard this, he hurriedly rode to Deran's side, and asked anxiously, "What about Lord Knight Cook, why is he not with you?" ”

De Lan rubbed his aching right arm, stretched out his left hand and pointed ahead, saying, "Cook and Robit are in front, we have already fought a fierce battle in the afternoon." ”

Rochabal could not be separated, and rode directly into the ranks of the knights, all the way through the queue to the front of the mountain pass.

Cook turned his head to see Rossabar running over, and hurriedly asked, "Why are you here?" What about the knights? ”

When Rossabar saw Cook, his hanging heart calmed down, and he smiled silly: "Hehe, hey, I'm going to give food to the refugees in the back." ”

Cook's stomach was already drumming with hunger, and he complained, "I don't see you bring us some food, we are already hungry and have no strength at all." ”

Rossabar was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned around on his horse, got into the ranks and disappeared.

Robit glanced in the direction of Rossabar's departure, and asked Cook curiously, "Who is he, Cook?" ”

Cook yawned, rubbed his nose and said, "O Roshabal, my chief guard." ”

"Oh." , Robit felt a little melancholy after hearing this, even Cook had his own knight and chief of guard, and as the sole heir of the First Duke's Palace, he didn't even have half a knight beside him. I think that the first duke's palace was full of reputation in the kingdom and was the biggest representative of the nobility of the kingdom, but now with the death of my father and the fall of the royal capital, everything has become a thing of the past.

When he thought of the Duke's Palace, Robit thought of his lovely sister again, and no one could understand the sourness in his heart.

After a while, Rossabar ran back with a bag of food, and he handed the bag to Cook breathlessly, and said with a smile: "Here comes the food, Lord Knight, hurry up and eat a few more bites." ”

After saying that, he reached out and took out the water bag, handed it to Cook, and said, "Come, the water has been brought too." ”

Cook shook the spear in his hand and threw it casually, the spear swished, and the head of the spear was straight into the ground, and then Cook rolled over and jumped off the horse.

He took the water bag and the sack containing the food from Rochabal, and took out a piece of bread from the bag as he went.

When he came to Robit, Cook reached out and handed Robitt the bag of food, and said with a bite of bread in his mouth, "I've been hungry for two days, and I finally have something to eat." ”

Robit also stuck his spear into the ground, took the bag with a smile, took a random loaf of bread and put it in his mouth and took a big bite, then took out a large sweet potato from it, and then handed the bag back to Cook.

Rossabar was very enthusiastic, and he walked briskly, took it for Cook, and said, "You eat first, and I'll get the bag." There's also dried beef in there, would you like some of it? ”

"Beef?" , Cook couldn't help but ask. For him, beef is a luxury in such a hard day, and it would be nice to have something to eat.

"yes!" Rosabar replied as he reached into the bag, and soon found two large pieces of beef and handed them to Cook and Robit.

Robit seemed to like this Rochabal very much, and praised it with a smile: "Yo, Cook, you are really good as the captain of the guard." When I have my own knight in the future, I'll be able to follow me, the captain of the guard. ”

Rossabar was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said with a smile: "Lord Robit, don't be joking, I'm from the Knights of the Royal Capital." ”

The Knights of the Royal Capital, the name is too familiar to Robit, it is the Knights of the Chief Instructor, Count Fox, and the only garrison knights in the Royal Capital. Robit understands, and knows very well, that he will definitely not be able to ask for the people of the Knights of the Royal Capital, not that Cook will not give it, but that they will definitely only be loyal to the Earl's Court.

Robit was very envious, nodded again and again and said, "Oh, it turned out to be the chief of guard of the Royal Capital Knights, disrespectful. ”

Hearing Robit compliment himself, Rossabar smiled from ear to ear. Cook glanced at him and said disdainfully: "Lord Robit is your blessing to take a fancy to you, how many people want to be loyal to the First Duke's Palace, then there is no chance." ”

Hearing Cook say this, Rossabar smiled at all and lowered his head in shame.

While they were chatting and eating, the barbarians couldn't help themselves after all, and they couldn't wait to win the battle. Johansen didn't plan to spend time with the Knight here, and he suddenly decided to sneak up on the night so that he could catch the Knight by surprise.

As night wore on, it was pitch black. Under the cover of night, the army of Tubis knights quietly burrowed into the valley. They abandoned their mounts and marched on foot, pretending to be infantry to deceive the Knights, hoping that this would deal a fatal blow to the Knights.

However, Cook's hearing was keen, and he and Robit sensed something almost at the same time, and the two quickly returned to their fighting positions, drew their spears and signaled the Knights to prepare for battle.

In the darkness of the night, a dense crowd of Tubis people appeared in front of them, and when they saw the Knights, they suddenly burst into a roar of rage, and swept through in a frenzy.

The battle began again, and the cries of killing at the bottom of the valley were earth-shattering. The bread had just been sent up the cliff, and before Miller could take a bite, he heard that there was a mass of slaughter below. The canyon in the night is pitch black, and it is completely impossible to distinguish between friend and foe, and arrows should not be fired indiscriminately, otherwise it is easy to injure one's own people by mistake.

Miller had no choice but to order everyone to collect the hay and branches next to him, make makeshift torches, light them, throw them into the valley floor, and then keep dropping the hay down.

The torches fell with a whirl, and the flames lit the falling hay that followed, and the bottom of the valley was brightly lit. Then they saw that the knights of the barbarians had walked into the valley and squeezed the whole valley slowly.

Torches, flaming hay, and countless arrows fell on top of the Tubis knights, mercilessly devouring the lives of the Tubis people.

However, these fierce black knights did not retreat, but they continued to pour in, as if the other side had launched a general attack, wanting to use the tactics of crowds to break through the defense line of the Knights, and take the entire valley at the cost of some people's lives. But they were completely wrong, they completely ignored the fact that there were more than 3,000 archers on the cliffs on both sides, and it was the hunters chosen from these refugees who were the protagonists of the battle.

The slaughter lasted for more than an hour, and there was no mercy or mercy for all of these savage invaders, which was an act of revenge by the Knights, seizing the favorable moment to desperately plunder the incoming barbarians. The Tubis tried their best, but because Johansen greatly underestimated the strength of the Knights, the Imperial Knights suffered very heavy losses, and finally he had to order the evacuation of the few Black Knights back to Fort Retun in disarray.

With the withdrawal of the barbarians, the war finally came to an end. In this battle of the Dragon City River, the Knight people won a brilliant battle and successfully kept their last place of hope, Dragon City.

After the battle, the knights cleaned the battlefield and collected all the supplies left on the ground, including the horses that were too frightened to run away.

In this battle, the Tubisi lost more than 2,400 black knights, more than 1,200 infantry. The Knights, on the other hand, lost just over 40 knights and won a huge victory at minimal cost.

After the battle of the Dragon City River, the Tubisi people missed the opportunity to capture the Dragon City, lost half of the strength of the Neido Legion, and completely destroyed the Tubisi people's plan to capture the Dragon City.
