Chapter 105: The Name of Darius (5)
In the town of Irwindale, Gregory looked out at the bloody battlefield not far away, where countless Noxians fought, and the blood of the blood stained the blue sky.
"Noxians never run away!" Gregory discarded the red strip of cloth that had wiped his armor and lowered his head to look at the double-edged axe emblem on his breastplate.
"Cooper, I don't think you're going to disappoint Master Modrian, are you?" Gregory asked, turning around and patting Cooper on the shoulder.
The faint gaze shot over, making Cooper's heart condense, his pale face flushed, the sword at his waist was unsheathed, and a blood mark was drawn in the palm of his left hand, and the flowing blood stained the palm and the sword.
"I, Cooper Adolphus, will defend the town of Irwindale and destroy it!"
Heroism and sacrifice are the rules of a knight, and Cooper's knightly gift is a testament to his determination that he will not disappoint Lord Modrian again, and that his inner conviction will carry through to death.
Gregory didn't say anything more, and the determined figure left the tower, the bright red cloak pulling out the glorious brilliance.
Crunch! Crunch!
The heavy and broken city gate slowly opened, and the Noxian Scarlet Cavalry and the remaining more than 100 Noxian Imperial cavalry rode out under the leadership of Gregory, piercing the sky with a fierce momentum.
Searching the continent of Valoran, there is no army as feared as the Noxian Empire.
And in all the Roads of Noxus, there was no soldier who was as adored and revered as Darius.
Looking through the military precepts of Noxus, none can compare to this sentence:
Loyalty is paramount!
The soldiers of the Noxian Empire are loyal to their hearts, to the banner of the red-bottomed axe, to the Noxian Empire, even if they pay with their own blood and lives.
With the sound of horses' hooves, Gregory led the Scarlet Cavalry and the Noxian Imperial Cavalry to charge towards death, rushing to the battlefield like a flesh millstone.
No one could have imagined that the remaining cavalry in the town of Irwindale would rush out, including the commander of the aristocratic coalition stationed outside.
When the roaring and trembling sound of horses' hooves sounded, the commander of the aristocratic alliance army hurriedly arranged the aristocratic infantry to form a strict defensive formation, and even many soldiers were unarmored and their faces were panicked.
A few arrows could not stop the heavy cavalry charge, and even if the enemy was only a third of them, the fear of death could not help but spread in the hearts of the infantrymen.
Thundered!
The Noxian cavalry burst into the defensive formation of the aristocratic coalition like black arrows, the cavalry spear pierced into the armor, the horse's leg was broken in the trap, and dozens of life breaths instantly dissipated on this battlefield.
Gregory ignored the Noxian Imperial cavalry who were constantly breaking away from the formation, his eyes were already red with the splattered blood, and the cavalry spear in his hand was slightly heavy.
Fighting for Noxus is their destination, death is glory, and they will continue to move forward on the road of glory.
The slaughter is spreading, the battlefield is relentlessly harvesting lives, and people are dying all the time, it is the cavalry of the Noxian Empire, it is the infantry of the noble coalition.
As soon as his body was loosened, Gregory turned his head to see that they had penetrated the formation of the aristocratic coalition, and the panic and fear filled the hearts of the aristocratic soldiers, and the defensive formation that had been formed in a hurry was already crumbling.
Just as Gregory turned his horse's head and charged again, many of the infantry in the formation dispersed in a hurry.
Yes, in a hurry!
The fear of death destroyed the faith of the noble soldiers, some of whom until the war were no more than farmers in the noble domains, but the nobles who were high up forcibly conscripted them as soldiers for the benefit of the iron ore veins.
The effect of the flight completely destroyed the defenses left by Viscount O'Neien, and the other soldiers of the noble coalition began to flee one after another.
The current group of soldiers thought that it was best for them to survive, and even threw away their weapons and armor in order to be able to run faster, for fear of being chased and killed by those black heavy cavalry.
As a matter of fact, the heavy cavalry slaughtered the infantry as easily as the pursuit of a lamb.
But Gregory waved his hand, signaling all the Noxian cavalry to stop the pursuit, regroup their formation, and then continue to advance under his leadership.
The victory here didn't change anything at all, and Gregory's eyes locked on his companions who were surrounded in the flesh mill.
That's where the decisive battle is, and Noxus will fight their way out.
.....................
At some point, the power of Noxus boiled through Darius's body like a hot molten slurry, and the crimson light burned around his body like substantial energy, like a blood-colored flame baking the air.
The pressure on Darius from Palitzel grew, but it also reminded him of the joy of combat, which he rarely tried since he became the hand of Noxus.
Not only Darius, but also Palitzel's heart was full of pressure at this time, and the viscous life energy like mercury was supporting his fighting rhythm.
Although he had the upper hand on the surface, he sensed the deadly threat that permeated the guy on the other side.
"Darius, on behalf of the Jeffrey family, I solemnly invite you to join the Jeffrey family." Palitzel's heart moved, and he said abruptly.
"I don't know what kind of benefits the Perris family, or Modrian, has given you, but I, the Jeffrey family, are willing to pay three times as much..... No, five times the value of the benefit, plus the title of a viscount with real power. ”
"How? You can consider my proposal, as for the current war situation, haha, you should be able to see the final outcome! Palitzel relaxed the movements in his hand slightly, and patiently persuaded him, the title of nobleman, and he is also a viscount with real power, this is already the biggest weight he can come up with.
Victory is on the horizon, and the Jeffrey family has a lot to gain from this war.
It's just that in Palitzel's opinion, they are far less important than the current Darius, and if Darius can be recruited to join the Geoffrey family, then the next arrangement of the Geoffrey family will be easier to implement.
In particular, he was amazed by Darius's terrifying talent, considering that he had been a knight for nearly twenty years, and both life energy and combat skills had been baptized by time.
And Darius, who broke through to the knight for less than half a year, has already shown no less than his combat skills and terrifying strength.
All of this made Palitzel feel terrified and excited, if he could recruit .........
"Do you think you have a chance to win?" A silent smile appeared on Darius's cold countenance, a little excited, a little crazy.
But it gave Palitzel a sense of fear, as if something terrible was about to happen, and he watched as the crimson blood slowly floated beside Darius, like a jungle tiger, unleashing its hideous fangs.
