When Batun led the 5,000 knights of the Duke's Palace, whom Heott feared the most, to leave Nilagus with the army, Heot laughed heartily at the head of the city on the spot, and his happy appearance confused all the guards present.

After laughing, he continued to stand happily at the head of the city and looked at the west side, and after confirming that Batun and the army were gone, he hurried down the city and rode his horse back to the palace.

The crazy Heot couldn't wait for a moment, he didn't go to the main hall to perform the ceremonies with the ministers, nor did he return to the dormitory to rest, but went straight to the room where Funina was held.

The moment he saw Funina, the whole person became crazy. Ignoring Elvis's obstruction, he flared his teeth and claws, drooling from his mouth, and frantically pounced on Funina. Although Elvis pushed him away each time, Heot pounced again and again, and his crazy appearance had become delirious.

The demonic Heot frightened Funnina, who had only known that the king was very lustful, but she did not expect him to be so terrifying. Funnina, who was squatting in the corner, trembled with fright, she didn't dare to cry, tears silently washed her face, and her delicate and sad appearance made Heot even more crazy.

Elvis couldn't bear it anymore, and for the safety of Funina, he had to order the guards beside him to drag the king out of the room.

When Funnina left the sight, Heot regained some of his senses a little, and he immediately yelled at Elvis: "Elvis, you are presumptuous, you dare to ask someone to take me away, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”

Elvis replied calmly: "As an important minister of the empire, the old man strictly implements the orders of the king himself. If Your Majesty must kill me, that's fine, but you can't kill me until at least Duke Batun returns. ”

Heott stretched out his hand to push the guards away, grinning at Elvis, "Old immortal, I'm going to kill you now, what can you do? ”

Elvis replied quietly: "Your Majesty, don't forget, the garrison of the entire palace is in charge of the old man's people, and this was already the case when the first king was alive. I have the appointment of the previous king, and even you have no right to revoke my authority. ”

He stomped his feet angrily after hearing this, and suddenly he remembered something, and then laughed at Elvis: "Hahaha, are you really unprepared for me?" You're an old immortal, and you don't want to think about how many months you have left in your term. Why do you think I chose you to protect Funina, are you old and confused, why are you so uninteresting? Hahaha. You wait, you wait for me, and the day you step down will be your death. Hahaha~~~"

Watching the crazy Heot leave laughing maniacally, Elvis sighed deeply. Only then did he realize that he and Batun had fallen into the trap of Heot, and in two months the letter of appointment given to him by the former king would expire, and then he would no longer have any authority, and Heot would be able to do whatever he wanted with Funa. Thinking of this, Elvis closed his eyes in pain, and two lines of old tears slipped down his face, both sad for the misfortune of Batun and painful for the misfortune of the empire.

In the territory of Seoul on the west side of the Nila Empire, the newly appointed commander of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Spart, is slowly walking on the plain with the main army of the Eastern Expeditionary Army. Spat's Crusade had eight knightly orders with a total of 20,000 Alto Knights, 10,000 infantry, and 5,000 archers. In this expedition to Nila, Carter had high expectations for Spart, and handed over almost half of the regular knight army of the Alto Empire to Spart.

However, the pressure on Spart's body was also very great, because in the entire legion commander, except for himself who had rich combat experience, the others were newly selected, and most of them did not have any combat experience. Spat didn't want to do this either, he hoped that veterans like Xiao Daocheng and Assel could go with him, so that he would have a better chance of winning. It's just that Spartt knows very well in his heart that those veterans are all Carter's cronies, and their seniority and status in Carter's camp are much higher than his own, so he naturally can't invite them to accompany him on the expedition.

Fortunately, Carter had already thought of this embarrassing situation for Spart, so he specially equipped Spartt with an army of 20,000 knights to make up for the lack of experience of the commanders.

However, Spartt is not unavailable, at least his own knight chief Ladd is a good commander, so this time Spartt promoted him to the head of the regiment and let him lead a knight order alone. And among these rookie commanders, there is also a more famous regiment commander Daniel, who has also had many combat experiences before, and his ability is relatively comprehensive.

In order to test the strength of Nila's garrison on the border, Spartt appointed Rad to lead three knights as the vanguard and take the lead in entering Nila's territory to attack Gadja. With 7,500 knights in the three orders, this is a sizable army of knights, and it is not a problem to capture a small Khadi. So in this combat operation, it was completely Spartt who asked Ladd to take the other two regiment commanders to practice their hands first.

After the defeat of Nila's army back into the Empire, Elton remained in charge of garrisoning the border town of Gadi. Elton reorganized the remaining army of the Western Expedition and the original garrison to form a temporary team of 5,000 men, responsible for the garrison of the small town of Gadi.

When the vanguard of Spart's crusade arrived in Gadi, Elton was ready to defend, anticipating that the Knight would raise an army to invade the empire.

It's just that Elton didn't expect that if the Knight didn't come, the first would be the joint attack of the three knights, which he didn't expect.

The battle began in an instant, and the infantry and cavalry of the Nira were no match for the knights of Knight, and the soldiers who had fallen back to the empire seemed to be accustomed to fleeing, and the ranks of the Nira were in disarray.

Just when the Nira were about to lose the battle, Batun led an army of 5,000 knights from the east and directly stopped the attack of Kneth's army.

In front of the two armies, Elton hurriedly rode towards Batun, and said breathlessly to Batun, who had just arrived: "Great, Lord Duke Batun, you have finally made a move." We'll finally have an army of knights, and we'll see how arrogant they are with the knights. ”

For Batun, Elton, who had reached the age of thirty-five, was still very young, and he immediately reprimanded Elton and said, "What are you panicking, you have participated in so many battles, why are you still in such a hurry?" ”

Elton replied sadly, "Well, our cavalry can't compare to their knights." You see, they were all scared of the Knight people, and when they saw the Knight killing, they were all so frightened that they fled for their lives. ”

Batun sneered and said: "There are not many of the 40,000 troops left dead in the hands of their Knights, it's not bad if they don't die scared, normal." ”

Elton asked with a sad face: "Lord Duke, according to what you say, isn't it impossible for us to fight them in this battle, so we can only sit and wait for the empire to fall?" ”

Batun replied coldly: "Not necessarily, I haven't been on the battlefield for a while, let me move my muscles and bones first." ”

After speaking, Batun stepped forward with a long sword and invited the head of the regiment on the opposite side to fight alone.

Two of the three captains on Knight's side were selected from the Empire's knight competition at the beginning of the year. Both of them were young and pretentious, thinking that if they entered the top ten in the Imperial Competition, they would become the first-class masters on the continent, so they didn't take the Nila people seriously.

One of the regimental commanders was particularly impulsive, and as soon as he heard that the other party was going to duel, he was like a chicken, completely ignoring Ladd's obstruction, and couldn't wait to ride his horse out of the ranks, wanting to learn from Cook to kill the enemy back then. But in front of the powerful Batun, the young regiment commander only resisted thirteen moves, and was stabbed to death by Batun on horseback with a sword.

Who knew that there were many people who were not afraid of death, and another Knight's head also rushed out angrily, no matter how Rad called, he never looked back. After more than 20 moves, this guy who didn't know the height of the sky was slashed off his horse by Batun's sword and died in a pool of blood on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, the Crusade army lost two knight commanders in a row, which was a completely failed war operation for Spart.

Ladd was so angry that he turned his head and lashed out at the knight captains behind him: "What kind of bullshit are you guys, why are they all tendons, do you have to toss yourself to death to know how high the sky is?" ”

The knights looked at Rad silently, each with a helpless expression on their faces.

One of the chief knights asked, "Captain, what should we do now?" ”

Ladd is more stable, although he knows that the opponent's skills are very strong, but in order to complete the task of testing the opponent's strength, Ladd has to ride out of the ranks.

As soon as he came to Batun, Batun said: "What kind of ghost knights are you, why are the captains all like wretched, and another one who doesn't know whether to live or die." ”

After saying that, Batun was angry and didn't fight, because he felt that with these incompetent people, dueling with them was simply an insult to his dignity.

When Batun slashed at Rad with a fierce sword, Rad hurriedly dodged a sideways and skillfully dodged Batun's blow. Ladd was indeed a good knight, and he stabbed his sword directly into Batun's mount in a sideways position, causing Batun to hurriedly lift the reins.

Then Batun exclaimed: "My good boy, you kid is sensitive enough to think of dealing with my beloved horse." Come on, come on, fight with me well, don't attack the war horse, be serious. ”

After saying that, Batun slashed at Rad with another sword, and Rad hurriedly dodged, and another sword quickly dodged towards Batun's mount.

This time, Batun was well prepared, and immediately checked and blocked in time, and then frowned and complained: "Hey boy, why are you still here, you said not to attack the war horse." ”

Ladd sat up straight, held his sword and smiled, "This Commander is really funny, this is the first time I have met such a humorous person on the battlefield. ”

Batun nodded and smiled and said, "Well, the young man's mentality is still quite good, it seems that you still have some aura, and your skills are indeed okay." I don't know what Your Excellency calls that great nobleman who is loyal to your knight? ”

Ladd saluted and replied, "My name is Ladd, and I was originally a knight captain under Lord Spart, and I was promoted to the head of the regiment in this expedition, which makes you laugh." ”

After hearing this, Batun couldn't help but sigh: "Spart's knight chief? I really thought that a knight commander has such skills, and you Spartt must be even more powerful, no wonder he can sit in the position of commander. ”

Ladd continued: "I haven't asked for your first name yet! ”

Batun put away his smile and replied sharply: "I, Batun, the supreme commander of the Nila Empire's army, how about it, do you want to continue to fight with me." If you can take my head back, your King Carter will reward you greatly. ”

After hearing this, Ladd said with a smile: "Forget it, how can I have this ability." A mighty big man like you, you have to let our commander personally compete with you, forget about small roles like us, and don't daydream about it. Say goodbye! ”

After saying that, Radze rode his horse and left, commanding the army of the three knights to slowly retreat in the direction of the Handong fortress.

Seeing the Knight army retreating westward, Elton hurriedly rode to Batun's side, and anxiously asked him, "Lord Duke, why did they retreat, should we immediately launch a pursuit?" ”

Batun shook his head and replied, "No need, this Ladd is completely different from the two people in front of him. You see that when their army retreated, it was orderly and the formation was not chaotic at all, and at a glance you knew that this Ladd was experienced and not so easy to deal with. ”

After saying that, Batun turned his head and continued to ask, "By the way, Elton, have you ever met their Sparter before?" ”

Elton nodded and said, "Well, I also fought against Spartt when he attacked the Handong Fortress. But this Spartt is too good, and I'm no match for him at all. ”

After hearing this, Batun sighed and said, "Oh, it was exactly what I expected. Hey, it looks like we've met a strong opponent this time, and this Spartt is not easy to deal with. ”
