Section 58 Suspicious Soldiers
Arold glanced at the closed gates, and in the grove of the castle the knights of the inner palace were waiting patiently, their horses holding sticks in their crotches and their hooves holding coarse linen, and all kinds of noises resounded in the lit village not far away, but it was as quiet as two worlds.
"Let's leave, those Slavs won't come out." Arold looked up at the sky, and the commotion of Watergastburg in the moonlight became quiet again, and if you listened closely, you could hear the shouts of the Slavic nobles.
"Lord Earl, won't you wait any longer?" Knight Victor whispered to Arrod.
"No, they seem to have seen through our plan, damn it." Arold muttered a whisper, and then got back on his horse, and the knights of the Inner House saw that Arold was about to leave on horseback, so they had to follow him closely.
"Lord Earl, we have almost burned the enemy's territory, what should we do now?" Victor. Sir Duncan was originally a wandering knight, but he was warmly received by Arjord in Mecklenburg, so he stayed in Arold's inner palace to serve Arrod.
"Besides those villages, aren't there also Lomwa shrines? Let's go there. Arold turned his head to look at the torches lit on the walls of Watergast Castle, the well-defended castle was not so light that it could be taken, although it was a little regrettable, but Arold would not let these Slavs stop.
"Yes, Lord Count." Victor. Sir Duncan took the helmet that hung from the back of the saddle and put it back on his head, as long as there was a fight for him.
Mecklenburg's cavalry swept like the wind across the land of Watergast, and this time it was not just the village that suffered, but the temples surrounded by high walls, and the temples dedicated to the Lomwa gods gathered many of the devotees' offerings. However, because of this, these temples are as difficult to attack as small fortresses.
"Archers on alert, watch out for the enemy coming." On the gatehouse of the temple, the temple guards gathered with bows and arrows, and they saw a cavalry unit appearing in front of the temple at some point, and these cavalry did not rush to attack the temple, but surrounded the temple on the perimeter.
"Doh. Chemical element. "When the Germanic cavalry jumped off their horses, they took out their axes and other tools and began to cut down the oak trees around the temple, and the temple guards did not know what they wanted to do, so they could only watch the cavalry work.
"What the hell are these Germanic people trying to do?" The temple guards craned their necks in curiosity, but they couldn't see it, which only increased their curiosity.
"Hold your posts, and the gods will send these heretics into a land of no return." The priests of the temple walked back and forth, encouraging their soldiers and cursing the infidels, but their hearts were terrified. You must know that the temple is the most respected place for the believers, there are no defenses at all on weekdays, and the troops they can provide are very limited, not to mention that their monarch Kang Tuoyi also drew out most of the soldiers, and as a result, the huge temple is only guarded by dozens of soldiers, they just expect that the heretics who cut down the sacred oak tree will be damned.
"Lord Earl, we must hurry, or the people of Watergastburg will find out." Victor. Sir Duncan was amazed at Arold's audacity. The night before, Arold had been attacking the castle of the capital of Watergast, which was home to thousands of troops. But now he is leading the cavalry to attack the temple, and if Kang Tuoyi of Watergast Fort knows about it, I am afraid that he will immediately lead his army to the rescue. "Don't worry, I've left the Javelinmen outside the castle, they won't be able to leave the city for the time being, but I agree with the idea that this temple should be conquered immediately." Arold looked at the soldiers who had cut down the trees. He was to make some crude but effective weapons for attacking the temple, barely cutting off the branches of the branches, tying them with thick linen rope collected from the looting of the villages, and covering them with the sheepskin that had been slaughtered.
On the walls of Fort Watergast, Contoyi and Calvin looked out, only to see a lot of dust rising from the otherwise calm distant clearing. And there was the neighing of horses and the shouts of soldiers, and the dust that rose obscured their vision, but in the dust there were faint cavalry shuttling through it, as if a large army was stationed outside the castle.
"Lord Kang Tuoyi, we should send an army to test the number of enemies." After observing for a long time, Chief Calvin finally couldn't help but say.
"But what if it's a trap?" Kang Tuoyi said with some worry.
"Then we don't have much to lose." Calvin Chief said.
"Then go ahead, if you find something wrong, let the soldiers run to the sides, and the door of the castle will be closed." Kang Tuoyi nodded and agreed to this construction, in order to avoid being rushed into the city by the enemy, the door of the castle would be strictly guarded, and he had lost the upper hand in the repeated wars with Arrod, and Kang Tuoyi was unconsciously a little suspicious psychologically.
"Yes, no problem." After the Calvin leader saluted Kangtuoyi, he turned and walked down the city wall, he was going to find some brave volunteers, and walked out of the castle to have a look.
"Click." The gates of the castle were opened, and the leader of Calvin personally led a group of more than 100 soldiers out of the castle, but although Calvin kept urging, the Slavic soldiers also hesitated.
The timid army led by Calvin Leader took half a day to touch the village outside the castle, and to their surprise, there was neither fierce fighting nor any other army here, which made Calvin Leader wonder what was going on with the dust that was raised.
"Chief, look at the horses of the Mecklenburgers?" I saw a peasant soldier point his finger, and saw the javelinmen rushing out of the woods, and they unexpectedly did not attack the Slavs with their javelins, but the Slavic soldiers who came out of Watergastburg saw that each javelinier had some branches tied to the tail of his horse under his crotch, so that when they ran, the branches would sweep the dust like a sweep.
"That's how they make an army." Calvin Leader said angrily, he didn't expect the branches tied behind the buttocks of a few horses to make the Slavic warriors stay for so long, it's really incredible to think about it, just as Calvin Leader commanded his men and rushed towards the javelin cavalry, those javelin cavalry turned their horses and ran away without looking back.
