The defeat of Gadi disadvantaged Spart's division, casting a huge shadow on the crusade of Nila. After listening to Ladd's report, Spartt was even more furious and rebuked the two ignorant and reckless regimental commanders in public.

Fortunately, the knightly army did not suffer any losses, and Spart's entire Crusade army was temporarily reorganized in the name of the commander. In addition to Ladd and Daniel, the other three rookie captains were demoted to knight captains by Spart, citing lack of experience, and the eight knights were consolidated into three major knights, led by Spartt himself, Ladd, and Daniel respectively.

The reorganized Crusade Army, with the Knights of Spartt as the main force, had 10,000 knights. Ladd's Knights were a right-wing army with 5,000 knights. Daniel's Knights was a left-wing army, and it also had 5,000 knights.

Spart's move completely broke the knightly system that had been followed by the Knight for hundreds of years, and the members of the knights were not limited to the standard size of 2,500 Knight knights. Spart hated the shortcomings of the old Knights' system, and from many battlefield experiences, Spartt summed up a truth, a good knight commander is the key to victory.

Just as Batun was about to attack the Handong Fortress, Spat took the newly reorganized Eastern Expeditionary Corps out of the fortress and advanced directly to the Batun army stationed in Jiadi.

The deafening sound of horses' hooves kept hitting the town of Gadi, and the Neela army stationed around the town panicked, and even Batun himself was shocked by the overwhelming army of Knight in front of him, so anxious that he immediately called for Elton to gather an army and prepare for battle.

The army of 20,000 knights quickly lined up on the grass, and then the infantry phalanx quickly swept past the knights, and went straight to the front to line up, and the archers followed the infantry phalanx in a line.

Batun knew that it was Sibat himself who led the main army to come, and when he saw the huge Knight army in front of him, Batun frowned and smiled. Soon he thought of his poor Funina, and at this moment he suddenly felt that Funina was getting farther and farther away from him, as if he was about to lose her.

Batun had such an idea, mainly because he had lost confidence in this war, such a huge army of knights of Knight could almost sweep the entire Nila, Batun saw the strength of both sides very thoroughly.

No matter what, Batun would not give up any chance to save his daughter, and he once again raised his sword and invited Spart's front to duel.

Spat didn't say a word, and directly drew his sword and went out of the ranks. Before and after coming to Batun, he saluted Batun very politely, and said to him aloud: "I am Spart, the commander of the Alto Empire's Eastern Expeditionary Army, and I am ordered by His Majesty the King of the Empire to levy the sinners who have violated the borders of my country. The empire's crusade did not accept any peace talks, did not accept any form of annexation, and did not aim at deterrence. ”

Batun gritted his teeth angrily and asked angrily, "Then what is your purpose?" ”

Spartt replied coldly: "It's very simple, capturing Nilagus and conquering all of Nila is the ultimate goal of our Crusade Army. ”

"Presumptuous." Batun was so angry that his blood swelled and he swung his sword to attack at the moment, eager to kill this arrogant man to the ground immediately.

Compared with the annoyed Batun, Spat seemed much calmer, he met the battle calmly, swung his sword freely, and started a duel with Batun in front of the battle without hurry. The shadow of the sword was chaotic, and the cold light was shining, even if Batun was the pillar of the Nila Empire on the battlefield, but in front of Spart, he did not take advantage of it at all.

Spartt was the winner of the last knightly tournament in the Knight Kingdom, and at the same time a microcosm of the era of the Knight Kingdom, representing the best young characters of that generation. Spart, who was over thirty-five years old, seemed more and more steady, his sword pointed as steady as a mountain, and every move was a real move, without any false moves and no small tricks.

After fighting with Spartt for dozens of rounds, Batun has already come to the conclusion that this Spartt is really not an ordinary character, and he is afraid that it will be very disadvantageous to himself if he continues to fight like this, after all, Spartt is in full swing, and his physical strength must not be comparable to him.

Batun was despicable and helpless, so he had to do his best to shoot, hoping to quickly defeat Spartt with his rich experience and strong swordsmanship.

When Batun raised his arm and danced the long sword in his hand, he was horrified to find that Spartt had reservations. No matter how hard Batun tried his best, Spat was always able to deal with it calmly, without showing a trace of flaws, and did not give Batun any chance at all.

When the duel was close to a hundred rounds, before Batun could exhaust his strength, Spat suddenly increased his speed and pointed a sword at Batun's neck.

This move was ferocious, startling Batun into a cold sweat, causing him to hurriedly draw his sword to block. However, Spartt deflected his sword, shook Batun's long sword, and struck directly at Batun's left arm.

Due to the strong power of Spart, the speed was completely unexpected by Batun, and he was about to be stabbed by Sparter if he was not careful.

But Spartt only slashed the tip of the sword through the armor of Batun's left arm, but did not stab it hard, and then Spartt drew his long sword and reached out to hold the reins to stabilize the warhorse.

Batun reached out and touched the armor on his left arm, and then asked very puzzled, "Why did you let me?" You could have stabbed it with a sword. ”

Spart's expression was indifferent, and he replied solemnly: "I said, our ultimate goal is to conquer you Nila, but we are by no means here to slaughter your Nila. Even on this battlefield, as long as you can distinguish the winner from the loser, try not to kill if you can kill less, and try not to hurt if you can hurt less. ”

This sentence made Batun feel Spartt's powerful aura, and he couldn't help but have a respect for Spartt from the bottom of his heart.

But Batun couldn't abandon Funina, and there was no other way but to continue to hold on.

Seeing that Batun raised his sword again and was about to continue, Spat immediately frowned and said, "Since you and I have already divided the winners and losers, don't entangle anymore, it won't do you any better." ”

Batun ignored it, and swung his sword at Spart, causing Spartt to angrily raise his sword and continue to fight.

But this time Spartt shot faster, he had thoroughly figured out Batun's sword path, and after more than a dozen moves, Spartt once again put the long sword on Batun's neck, forcing Batun to admit defeat in the most direct way.

The long sword was against his neck, Batun had no nostalgia, he had tried his best, but in the end he couldn't fight this powerful Spart. Batun had already felt the breath of death, but he couldn't hide the pain in his heart, and immediately raised his head and said sadly: "Funina, my father is really useless, it was my father who hurt you." ”

Looking at Batun, who revealed his true feelings, even Spartt deeply felt Batun's great fatherly love. Batun was about the same age as Cologne, and seeing Batun sad like this, Spartt instantly remembered his father.

Cologne's temper has always been very short-tempered, and Spartt didn't know what fatherly love was since he was a child, and he was very envious of others having a kind father.

Spartt didn't say anything, he put away his sword again, and comforted Batun and said, "Lord Batun, what's wrong with your daughter?" What's the trouble? If you need my help, just say it. ”

Batun was stunned for a moment, although for a moment he showed a hint of surprise at Spartt's words, but as soon as he thought of King Hoot, Baron immediately shook his head and replied: "It's none of your business, since I can't beat you, then let's fight the army on the battlefield tomorrow." ”

After saying that, Batun left without looking back, so that Spartt had to sigh and lead the army back.

At night, a flying horse came from the direction of the imperial capital, rushed into Batun's camp non-stop, and brought Batun's handwritten letter from Elvis.

After reading the letter, Batun in the camp tent leaned on the wooden pillar in despair, and two lines of old tears immediately poured out.

Elton didn't know what was going on, and it would make the steady Duke of Batun wash his face with tears. So he hurriedly took the letter from the table and read it carefully from beginning to end.

Suddenly, Elton jumped up and yelled angrily, "Damn Hort, it's shameless. In the past few years, our people in Nila have been miserable, almost hovering between life and death, and he has ignored the problems of people's livelihood and blindly launched a frantic war, so that our empire will be destroyed immediately. Funnina is the goddess of all our Nila people, not the personal belongings of Taheot, what right does he have to detain the goddess? ”

Batun stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, and replied sadly: "What can be done, he is our King Majesty after all." ”

Elton asked rhetorically, "Lord Duke, Lord Duke. How can he Ho Ot, what can he do? Doing whatever he wants all day long, treating the entire empire as his private property, what qualifies him to be the king of our Nila? The former king was fashionable and favored by the people of the empire during his lifetime, and you also have good respect for the duke, and that kind of king is the king who deserves our true support. The Nila Empire is not the empire of Tahort alone, but the empire of millions of our Nila people, and we must not allow the empire to be destroyed in the hands of Tayot alone. ”

Elton shook his head and replied, "It won't help to kill Heot, now that Spartt's crusade army is in sight, it's too late." ”

"Not necessarily." Elton replied, "I, the Nila people, have been here for thousands of years, and we Nila have never been completely conquered. The army of the Knight Kingdom also captured Nilagus, so what? As a result, they didn't retreat? ”

Batun shook his head and said, "This time the situation is different from the past, you don't need to say it anymore, I will never risk betrayal to deal with our own king." ”

Elton sneered, "Yes, your Barton loyalty to the empire is well known to the world. Well, if you continue your foolish loyalty, then let's watch all of us Nila become slaves. ”

Batun shook his body violently after hearing this, and he frowned and asked, "Then what do you say we should do?" Shall we kill the king and save the Knight from war? ”

Elton replied, "We can talk to Knight slowly, whether it succeeds or not, at least we have to try, better than watching Knight army drive in, right?" ”

After saying that, Elton continued to point to Batun and said, "Don't forget, Lord Duke, so that we can at least have a chance to save Funnina from the clutches of the king. You only have such a daughter, so don't hesitate at this time. Didn't Elvis say it all in the letter, he only had a little more than a month to serve, and it would be too late to do so. ”

Batun nodded, for Heot's incompetence and mediocrity, Batun had long been disappointed in this king. Once Batun also thought about getting rid of the biggest cancer of the empire and establishing a new king for the Nila people, but the charge of rebellion was the most unacceptable to Batun, and in the end it was not implemented. Now that Heot has insidiously driven himself to a dead end, Batun can no longer tolerate Heot's mediocrity and meanness.

That night, accompanied by Elton, Batun made all the way to Spartt's camp, and the two were taken to Spartt's camp under the care of Kate's guards.

After seeing Spartt himself, Batun bowed respectfully and pleaded with Spartt: "Lord Commander, please allow me to sue for peace with you on behalf of our empire. ”

Spartt was stunned and said, "Didn't I tell you, we don't accept any form of peace in this crusade." ”

At this time, Ladd on the side spoke: "I don't know whether I am alive or dead, and I dare to break into our camp without guards." Lord Commander, let's just take them both down, what a great opportunity. ”

Spartt stretched out his hand to stop Ladd, and then continued to ask Batun and said, "Then tell me first, what kind of peace do you want?" ”

Batun replied, "I have always advocated that our empire should not provoke war with your knights, and I have always persuaded Your Majesty, but Your Majesty will not listen at all. Truth be told, this time I went on the expedition under the persecution of our king, who seized my daughter Funina and used my daughter as a threat, and I had no choice but to do so. ”

Sparta nodded and said, "I didn't expect your King Heot to be such a mediocre person. So what do you want to do? ”

Batun pleaded, "I hope that the Commander will help me to attack Nilagus together, and help me take the imperial capital and kill Heot." Then we will elect a new king and make peace with your Alto Empire. As long as you can ensure that our empire will not be invaded by war again, we Nila people are willing to submit to the Alto Empire in the form of vassals, which is also equivalent to being conquered by your Alto Empire. ”

After hearing this, Ladd reminded Spartt and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's instructions to us are to completely conquer Nira, and we will never accept the existence of Nila as a vassal state. Don't ......"

"Shut up." , Spartt stopped Ladd again, and then replied to Batun: "Okay, as the commander of the Eastern Crusade Army, I will vouch for my honor to meet your requests." Your Majesty's side will do the maneuvering, and you can rest assured of that. ”

Batun nodded again and again and said, "Okay, Lord Spartt is quick to speak, I, Batun, am here to thank Lord Spartt for his kindness on behalf of thousands of Nila people." ”

The two sides reached an agreement, and now Spartt asked Batun and Elton to camp and begin the battle against Nilagus in front of the map.
