The best way to deal with the new force is to strangle it in its cradle. The shrewd Varkas did not intend to watch Carter's rise, and a secret plan began to be arranged.

On the border south of Reesburg, the head of the Twelfth Knights of the Topis Empire, Simon, was leading a team of guards and escorting a carriage full of gold coins on his way. The team stopped at a wooded end, and Simon sat on horseback, waiting in the direction of the south side.

Not long after, Odosa arrived with a group of guards, and the two sides met and saluted each other.

Then Simon asked euphemistically, "Our empire and your Lord Dragon City have secretly negotiated several times, I don't know what Lord Dragon City King is thinking about!" ”

Odosa replied, "Lord Dragon City is still thinking about it, and I am afraid that your request is too harsh, and I am afraid that he will not agree to you. ”

Simon smiled and said, "Well, our prince said that everything can be discussed." If you don't want to fight the Nira, that's fine. Didn't Lord Dragon City always feel that Carter was a stumbling block, then we will create an opportunity for Lord Dragon City to let your Carter be defeated again and again, so that Lord Dragon City King will have the hope of taking back your military power. ”

Odosa was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and hurriedly asked, "Captain, please say, as long as it is not too much, I believe that Lord Dragon City will definitely consider it seriously." ”

Simon stretched out his hand and pointed to the east side and said, "Our prince wants to take back Litun Fort and directly let you Dragon City King let it out, which really seems very unreasonable. But if Lord Dragonshire can assist our Imperial army and take Fort Ritun by force, Carter will be discredited in Fort Ritun. What do you guys think of this plan? Can it be helpful to Lord Dragon City? ”

Odosa sneered and said, "That being said, what gain do we get? Just to discredit Carter? That doesn't seem like a good deal for us. ”

Simon smiled and gestured for the guards to carry the cart full of gold coins to Odosa.

At the sight of these large wooden boxes full of gold coins, Odosa's eyes straightened.

Simon said happily: "There are 50,000 gold coins here, if the King of Dragon City promises to secretly assist us in capturing Fort Litun, these gold coins are our filial piety to Lord King of Dragon City." ”

Seeing the money-eyed Odosa's attitude immediately took a big turn, he asked with a smile: "Then how do you want us to help?" ”

Simon waved at Odosa, and the two rode to the side, whispering in the woods.

Odosa was delighted to hear this, and soon he agreed to Wakas's request on Cologne's behalf, and the deal to betray Knight was quickly concluded.

After returning to Dragon City, Odosa happily went to see Cologne with 50,000 gold coins, but was scolded by Cologne.

"What is this, you would have promised them. Navakas was willing to pay Caldis 200,000 gold coins for a captive, and I, Cologne, were only worth 50,000 gold coins. Odosa, Odosa, you've embarrassed me this time. ”

Cologne sat back in his chair and glared at Odosa with a puff.

Seeing that Cologne was so unhappy, Odosa felt a little remorseful, and asked anxiously, "Hey, I'm ......, I'm not here to help you deal with Carter." So what do we do now? ”

Cologne said angrily: "Go, send me these gold coins back, my Cologne is not rare." After meeting Simon, you told him that I Cologne would not agree, and if they wanted to take back Ritunburg, they would send a large army to attack it, and I would wait for them in Dragon City. ”

Cologne is a man who loves face, and he doesn't really think that the amount of gold is small, but that he is not as important as Caldis in front of Warkas. In fact, he didn't know that Wakas was forced to do that, and the face given was purely important to Prince Whitt, which had little to do with Caldis.

When he heard that Cologne had refused to accept the gift money and had made that kind of rhetoric, he was furious.

In October 474 A.D., Yale led six Imperial Knights to a sudden siege of Ritunburg, and the war began in an instant.

Basel was very uneasy in the face of the repeated attacks of the Tubis, and he went to the city walls day and night to direct the battle, doing everything to defend the city from being breached. However, there were more than 10,000 Imperial troops involved in the attack on Ritunburg, and there were only two knights in the city, Basel and Xiao Daocheng, who rushed to Alto to participate in the new army review, and neither of them had time to return to the station.

In this matter, Cologne also knew the consequences of refusing Wakas, so he finally notified Carter in advance and told him to be wary of the defense of Rytunburg.

However, Carter did not expect Warkas to move so quickly, and when he received the news of the attack on Rytunburg, Carter was gathering an army of knights of the Second Legion in the city of Nedor.

Although the enemy forces attacking Rytunburg were numerous, Basel was not easy to mess with. The fifth-place winner of the Dragon City Competition, his talent is not only a great personal skill, but also a capable general in the command of the army.

After receiving the import of refugees, Ritunburg gradually regained some popularity, and when the barbarians besieged Ritunburg, Basel immediately organized the people in the city to form a temporary team of archers. Earlier, the fort had been prepared for the attack of Tubis, and the city was stocked with arrows, stones, and fuel, and the walls were repeatedly reinforced. In the face of the fierce army of Tubis, countless arrows, slings, and fuel repelled wave after wave of enemy attacks. Basel decided to hold on to the end, believing that the army of Dragon City would come to his aid sooner or later, and that as long as he continued to hold on, the barbarians' plot would not succeed.

On the third day of the battle, the Tubis moved out of their mighty catapults and began to bombard the walls. But it was of little use, and the fortified walls remained as strong as ever, standing motionless in front of the Imperial army.

Seeing this tall and thick city wall, Yale was a little worried, he turned his head and asked Anthony beside him, "Anthony, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Anthony pointed to the back of the city wall and said, "Don't bombard the wall, just throw stones into the city, you can always kill some troops and kill their morale." ”

Yale smiled after hearing this, and immediately ordered a change in the offensive strategy, throwing countless stones into the city of Ritunburg.

In an instant, a rain of stones fell in the city of Litunbao, and everywhere the houses were destroyed, people and animals died, and there was a mess everywhere. In order to avoid the powerful catapult attack of the Tubis, Basel arranged for the people and guards to take shelter in the tall buildings, quietly waiting for the end of the Tubis attack.

Yale didn't think so, anyway, these stones could be fetched on the spot, and they could quickly destroy the opponent's living force through this offensive method, so he naturally seized the time to launch a continuous attack.

Catapults have a limited lethality, and when the populace and guards take refuge in safe buildings, the rest is a waste of Tubis.

The assault continued throughout the day, and when night came, the Tubis finally quieted down, and the guards raised their shields to attack the walls.

The battle continued, and groups of Knight people died tragically at the head of the city, and a new group of Knight people came forward one after another, and they wrote the story of the unyielding war of the Knight people with their lives.

By the sixth day of the battle, the garrison in the city had already been exhausted, and just when everyone was almost desperate, a loud trumpet sounded outside the city.

Carter arrived in time with an army of more than 10,000 knights of the Second Legion, and the two sides engaged in a head-on battle in the field west of Ritunburg. Xiao Daocheng and Asel each led the left and right flank armies, and cooperated with the Carter and Dimiss armies in the middle lane, and launched a full-scale attack together on the three fronts.

Yale and Anthony fought and retreated, but they were soon attacked by Thomas on the back, and the army of Tubis was difficult to cope with. In the end, Yale had no choice but to order the army to retreat westward in an orderly manner, and in a failed way, he made a detour to Cobillon.

After repelling the attack of Tobis, Carter led the people into the city to pacify the many soldiers and civilians, and praised Basel for holding the city.

In front of everyone, Carter praised Basel and said, "Captain Basel has worked hard, and your persistence has made our entire Dragon City applaud." If every knight of our knight can be like you, then we Knight will never have to fear anyone, and the entire continent will become our Knight land. ”

With a smile on his face, Basel replied happily: "My duty is to guard Litunburg, and losing Litunburg is equivalent to losing the confidence of our entire Dragon City." I've been going through failures all the time, and I'm tired of failing more, and I can't go back anyway, because we have no way back. ”

Dimis followed Basel's words and said: "Well, we have no way back now, and we have no choice but to face the barbarians head-on. This victory in the Battle of Ritunburg can be said to have completely suppressed the arrogance of Wakas. ”

Even the always conservative Asel spoke: "Yes, after this battle, Vacas will definitely be taboo against our Dragon City. Rittunburg was the turning point for our Knight, and when our new army training was over, our next target was Risburg. As long as we stay the course, one pit at a time, we will soon be able to drive the barbarians out of our land of Knight. ”

The joy of victory made everyone full of confidence in Dragon City and Carter, and the myth of the invincibility of the Tubis army had been shattered several times in front of Carter.

The victory in the defensive battle of Ritunburg marked Carter's further emergence as the military soul of the Knight world, and also implied that Carter's rise was unstoppable.
