Section 57 Warkas Surrenders to the North
In October 475 A.D., in the early hours of late autumn, an army of 10,000 Nira suddenly launched an onslaught on the eastern side of the Victor. At the same time, Carter led four knights of Knight to attack the southern part of the territory of Widden from the direction of the royal capital.
Varkas hastily assembled the Knights and divided their troops to resist on the southeast and southeast roads.
A week later, Simon, who was in charge of the southern defensive line, was routed by Xiao Daocheng's army, and Anthony was unable to do anything in the face of Knight army, which was several times his size, and finally had to lead the army to retreat towards the city of Widun.
The crisis of the situation made Warkas have no time to think about it, so he had to send someone to take the initiative to send a distress letter to Caldis in the north.
There are wars going on all over the country, and many of the regimental commanders and civil officials in the northern country are naturally anxious, because the war has extended to the northern crossing, and the northern country may be involved at any time.
In the Northland Fortress, the crowd sat around the table and began to discuss how to respond to Warkass's distress cry.
Since Jombus and Sarah were reunited, he has become more and more energetic, and he has become more and more active in the affairs of the northern kingdom, because after all, this is related to the future of the two of them.
Jombus was the first to speak: "This Warkas is very sophisticated, he didn't say that we should save him and his crusade legions, but he said that we should save the people of Knight and the herdsmen of Tubis in the territory of Widun. He knew our purpose very well, and he said it for a reason that we could not refuse. I mean, whatever the purpose of Tavaqas, whether it's a people or a herdsman, we have to be saved. ”
Miller replied with a smile: "Yo ho, Captain Jombus has a good analysis, but this reason is something we can't refuse. ”
Marcello was very excited and said, "Of course, didn't we come to the northern country to better help the people who are suffering?" Now that Victorian is in the midst of war, I wonder how many innocent people will die in the war. We have fewer people in the north and more land, and the people of Knight can all be resettled in the territory of Fengdu, and those Tubisi herdsmen can just settle down to Wutuo to graze, which is a good thing for our northern country. ”
Cook frowned and asked, "But in this case, we helped Varkas, so what will Carter think?" And when rescuing Warkass, it is inevitable that there will be a head-on conflict with Alto's army, wouldn't this be a feud with Alto's gang? ”
After hearing this, Miller retorted without hesitation: "It's important to save people now, and I can't care about it so much." If he Carter is really the legendary king, he naturally understands the importance of the people. If he turns against us because of this, I don't think he's the legendary king. ”
Mont Bo nodded and said, "Well, what the chief minister said is, let's save people first, and talk about other things later." ”
Xodor asked a question, he frowned and asked everyone: "But there is a question we have to think about first, once Vacas comes to our northern country, then the thousands of black knights under his command will also come with him." If this Vacas had other intentions in mind, then we probably lure the wolf in. ”
"Hmm." , Cook nodded and replied, "That's right." This Vacas was originally a wolf in their empire, and even his prince's banner was a wolf flag, so we must be careful. ”
Finally, Caldis spoke: "Everyone is right, and all aspects have been thought of. Otherwise, the resettlement of the people would have been done according to Masaro's words. As for the army of the Black Knights of Warkass, we can have them assist in garrisoning the Tuttle Fortress in Uto. As for Varqas himself, we invited him to join our civil officer team on the pretext of governing the Fengdu territory, so that he could live in Fengdu City for a long time. In this way, even if they have any conspiracy, they will not pose any threat to our northern country. If Warkas agrees to such an arrangement, then he will naturally sincerely join our northern kingdom. If he does not agree with our garrison arrangements for his Crusade Corps, and insists on bringing all the troops to our Fengdu territory, then this proves that he has selfish intentions, and we cannot take him in. ”
"It's a good idea." Cook was the first to agree: "I don't think Navakas has any choice, because he is the one who is desperate now, whether he wants it or not, he can only choose to agree." ”
Miller smiled coldly after hearing this, then got up and said, "Okay, then let's arrange it like this." Without further ado, if you don't have any other opinions, let's get started. ”。 After hearing this, everyone got up, and at the order of Caldis, everyone left one after another, and prepared to go.
The next day, the team from the North set off and went directly to the south side of the Victorian Territory to garrison and protect the Knight people and the Tubis herdsmen in the Victorian Territory.
On the southern side of the Widden Territory, Caldis, Cook, and Mompot led the army to guard against Carter's army on the south side.
Cook asked Montpot in the wind and said, "I heard that during the last battle of the king's capital, Bill and Carter of the empire met, and the two of them even fought to their deaths. Have you heard of this? Montpott? ”
"I know, that Carter is wearing a Cologne knight's sword, and that Bill and Carter have fought dozens of rounds without winning or losing, and that shouldn't be." Could it be that Bill also wielded a knight's sword? ”
Cook nodded slightly and replied, "I also think it's strange, that's why I asked you about it." Hey Mompott, could that Bill's sword be our sword of King Lockan? ”
"Hmm." , Mompot nodded again and again and replied, "Very likely." In this world, except for the thick weapon of the great axe, there is no weapon that the knight's sword is constantly sharpening. If he didn't hold the sword of King Lockan, how could he be Carter's opponent. ”
As the two chatted, the sound of horses' hooves began to rumble over the southern field, and Carter appeared in front of them with four Knights of Alto.
After seeing the Knight army in the North, Carter's expression was a little heavy, and he hurriedly rode his horse and ran over, directly stopping the horse less than a meter in front of Caldis. Carter was not close enough, so he rode close to Caldis and asked him in a low voice, "Duke Caldis, shouldn't the people of Wakass be stationed here?" Why did you people from the north come here? ”
Caldis replied, "You have come just in time, and I will tell you by the way, that the people and herdsmen of Knight are innocent, and that we have come to take them to our northern country to settle down." ”
Carter frowned and asked, "Herdsman?" ”
Carter was very smart, his brain turned very fast, and he smiled happily at Caldis: "Hehe, I'm afraid you not only picked up these herdsmen, but also Warkas and his army, you must also take them to your northern country to settle down, right?" ”
Caldis replied unabashedly: "Yes, all of them are taken." ”
Carter's face was full of helplessness after hearing this, he shook his head and sighed: "Caldis, Caldis, what are you asking me to say about you." I know you've lived in Tubis for ten years, and maybe these Tubis people are half a clan to you. But you also have to take care of the overall situation of our Knight, when you were expelled from Dragon City by Cologne, no nobles came forward to stop Cologne, don't you understand why this is true? ”
Caldis stared at Carter coldly, mentioning this past, Caldis still has some anger in his heart.
From Caldis's eyes, Carter saw his displeasure, and soon Carter comforted him and said, "Okay, I'm not here to train you today." Hey, okay, you guys take them to settle down first. Warkas is in complete decline, and it doesn't make sense for us Alto to kill him all. Our current enemies are Bill of the Empire, and the Neelans who have come to Widun to loot on fire. ”
After hearing this, Caldis frowned and asked, "Aren't you in front of an alliance?" How? It's going to turn against you so soon? ”
Carter replied with a smile: "The situation in the world is changing rapidly, one time and another. We can be allies when we need each other, or we can join forces together, and when we don't need each other, they are still invaders to us Knight. Wait and see, in less than half a year, I guarantee that we will be able to recover all the lost territory in the east of our Nete, and that both the Handong Fortress and the Haodong Fortress will be returned to the hands of our Knights. ”
Carter waved at Caldis and Cook, then turned and rode away.
After running a few meters, Carter turned back and said, "You are waiting for our good news in the northland." Long live Knight, long live the knights. ”
After shouting these two classic slogans of Knight, Caldis, Cook and the others involuntarily gave a knightly salute to Carter, and then silently watched Carter leave quickly.
After being silent for a long time, Montpot couldn't help but sigh: "This Carter is really amazing, coming and going with a gust of wind, it can be described as domineering and extraordinary." ”
Cook nodded slightly, he looked at Caldis silently, and found that Caldis was still staring in the direction Carter had left, as if he was thinking deeply about something. Seeing that Caldis's expression was so deep, Cook didn't bother him, just lowered his head and silently sorted out the armor on his body.
After more than half an hour, one of the Tupis guards rode up and called from afar, "Lord Caldis, the last of the people have already rushed to the road, and the Prince has asked me to inform you that we can withdraw together." ”
Caldis replied, "Yes, got it." ”
After saying that, Caldis turned his horse's head and motioned for Cook to direct the team to withdraw in the direction of Wu Tuo.
A few hours later, in front of the fortress of Tattle, numerous armies of knights turned together, and all the commanders gathered in front of the city gates and began a brief conversation.
Caldis was more serious, his face was expressionless, and he said aloud to Varkas and other Tubis commanders: "Our northern country belongs to the Tuttle Fortress and urgently needs a large army to garrison it, so I hope that the knights of your Crusade Corps can be stationed here in the Tuttle Fortress, and cooperate with Captain Robit and Captain Anne to be responsible for the garrison of the fortress." ”
Varkas replied with a smile: "Okay, I, Varkass, promise that there will be no mistakes in the Tuttle Fortress, and we will fully cooperate with the guards of the fortress, and everything will be at the disposal of Robit and Captain Anne." ”
Caldis shook his head and replied, "Your Excellency, you don't need to stay here, there are many things in our Fengdu that still need your help. Since the Prince has chosen to join our northern kingdom, then you are an important member of our northern kingdom, and you must be consulted on many important matters in the northern kingdom. ”
Utorres reacted most quickly, and he immediately refused: "That won't work, we have to stay with the prince." ”
"Presumptuous." , Wakas suddenly rebuked angrily: "Utores, you listen to me, in the future, our allegiance will be to Lord Caldis and the northern kingdom, you put away all the previous sets for me." If you can't change your stinky temper and can't adapt to life in the north, then you can go, and I, Warkas, will never leave you. ”
Utores immediately apologized and said, "Your Excellency, I didn't mean that. ”
Varkas glared at Utores with a cross eyebrow, then turned his head away, ignoring him.
Frustrated, Utores dismounted, knelt down on Caldis's horse, and apologized very sincerely: "My lord, please forgive me for being rude. It's just that the Prince treats me like a relative, and we are used to being by the Prince's side at all times. Just now, I was in a hurry, and I was worried about the safety of the Prince, so I said something I shouldn't have said. ”
Caldis replied, "It's okay. You don't have to stay in Tuttle Fortress, your knights are led by Yale and Simon, and both you and Anthony can accompany Warkas to the Northlands with their guards. ”
"Really?" Utores hurriedly saluted and thanked him: "That's great, thank you very much, Lord Lord." ”
After hearing this, Warkas turned his head to Utores and shook his head helplessly, and then told Yale and Simon: "You two must remember that when you are stationed at Tuttle Fortress, you must carefully follow the orders of Captain Robit and Captain Anne. There are rules in the north, and you must obey the laws of the north in everything, and if I let me know that you have broken the rules, I will personally come and punish you doubly. ”
When Yale and Simon heard this, they immediately saluted and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Wakas didn't seem to be at ease, he saluted the two and explained: "Two good brothers of the Eastern Crusade Legion, we have been together in life and death all the way. Now that we are fortunate to be taken in by the Northland, please cherish this opportunity with me, and we must not cut off this last way of life. Remember, remember ....... ”
After saying that, Vacas's eyes were a little moist, probably because he felt uncomfortable for his bumpy fate, and at this point, he couldn't say any more.
Then Warkas turned around and stood silently in the line behind Caldis. Soon, Utores and Antony counted their guards and stood behind Warkas.
Caldis explained a few words to Robit and Anne, and then led the group back to Kaede.
