Chapter 222: The Battle of Fort Agoron (4)

"It's finally here."

Seeing the flag fluttering in the distance, Count Mateas finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his forehead, which had been tense before, also loosened, and sweat flowed down the wrinkles to his cheeks.

"Reinforcements have arrived, drive out these mercenaries and northerners!"

The Count let out a roar of rage, and the anger that had been stored up for a long time exploded, and the emotions infected all the soldiers and officers around him.

The good news continued to be passed out, and even the soldiers on the front line received the news, and they rushed forward with cheers and pushed the Peony mercenaries and Suno cavalry back.

The distance between the two sides was again widened, and the formation began to regroup.

The army of Fort Kurma whistled their horns and marched straight for the troops of Count Mateas, who were surrounded. Once they arrived, the battlefield would be reversed, and the Peony mercenaries, who were still flanking the enemy just now, would immediately fall into a two-way battle dilemma.

"Ask a couple of the knights of Uxhall."

Byron felt the heavy pressure, took out his handkerchief and wiped his cheeks, which were not sweating at all, and with a gloomy expression, he asked Johnny to ask the Allied commander to come over. Now he had no other power at his disposal other than these guards around him, and he could only pin his hopes on these arrogant allies.

Fort Coolma's army continued to advance, and Kenrad had no choice but to speed up, even if the casualties were increasing. But he knew that once his back was exposed to the seemingly timid Rhodoc peasants, they would summon up the courage to deal a fatal blow to themselves.

"Von Byron is going to lose, he has no more troops to use. Regroup and get ready for the assault! ”

Count Mateas did not see the Uxhall army that had been left far behind, and the scouts similarly mistook it for part of Suno's forces. Coupled with the fact that Uxhall's troops had been behind Byron's convoy, the Count mistakenly believed that Byron's troops had all been mobilized. If that were the case, Byron would have failed by now.

When the forward of the army at Fort Kurma already had the Rhodoc arrows that had fallen here, the commanders of Uxhall also slowly rode from the rear of the troops to Byron's side.

"I wish you good health, Monsieur Baron."

The knight in the lead, dressed in plate armor with beautiful ornamentation, sat on his horse, bowed his head slightly towards Byron, and his nose was turned to the sky in a haughty manner.

Byron, of course, was not happy, but he had seen this attitude a lot when he visited some old stubborn nobles and rogue nobles. So he suppressed this breath and returned a salute to him.

"Today is a good day for battle, I think you saw the troops of Fort Coolma also come over to join in the fun, maybe your Excellency can teach them a lesson?"

Byron knew that his words were a bit of a middle-of-the-road, a little eccentric, but it was indeed said in the aristocratic style of Swadia. Even on the battlefield, the nobles in some places still fought in a dogmatic mode, and even had a fixed format for reporting military information and giving orders.

"Mistress Dilynard has entrusted me with his troops to bring glory to him, and I cannot risk the lives of these brave men. May the Holy Father and the King forgive me for my cowardice, and I will wash away my shame in the next battle. ”

The other party still maintained the attitude just now, and there was no shame at all. Byron knew that the other party saw this opportunity and planned to knock him out.

"When we win, I'll give half of the loot to the warriors of Uxhall as a reward for their valiant battle."

After hearing this, the knight's expression did not change in the slightest, and there was a bit of greed in his eyes.

"I'll give you an extra 10,000 dinars as a subsidy against the dead."

Seeing that the other party did not move, Byron gritted his teeth and offered these 500 people a peony mercenary, and the elite of the mercenaries rarely enjoyed the price.

Obviously, the other party's expression changed significantly after hearing the 10,000 dinars, but he still didn't act, as if he was waiting for Byron to set the price higher.

"Of course, if we lose, there won't be a single one! I think all the lords would wonder why Count DiLinald's troops were so unexpectedly not lost after our defeat. ”

In the face of the other party's greed, Byron lowered his face and his words became rude. He's had enough sweetness, and he's not going to budge anymore. He even used a little threat to make them completely abandon their intention to continue raising prices.

"In that case, we will crush the rabble and bring you victory."

The knights' attitude improved slightly, and after a salute, they came to the front of the battle with their soldiers, prayed briefly, and then took over a powerful melee weapon from the squire beside them, the chain hammer!

There is a reason why the other party is so arrogant, their equipment is much better than that of other knights, and each of them has a unique pattern on the plate armor and burqa, which is a male lion with wings, which is the symbol of the strongest combat unit in Svadia, the Royal Knight of Svadia!

Only these brave and strong royal knights can fight on horses with such skillful use of powerful but very easy to injure their own chain hammers. And the cavalry spears in their hands were longer and heavier than the other knights.

In some mods of the game, there will be this level 6 class unique to Swadia, the strongest cavalry unit. And in the real Calradia, Svadia does have such a strongest knight army in the kingdom, directly under the orders of the king of Svadia, does not buy property, and serves the king wholeheartedly, and Byron has long admired their great name.

Unfortunately, ten years before Byron crossed over to Calradia, the Swadia royal family stopped recruiting and training this already small royal knight force due to internal strife and financial problems, and dismissed a group of knights who were suspected of disloyalty by the king. Now there are no more than 100 royal knights in the entire Calradia, and half of them are under the orders of the lords of various places. Among the knights who participated in this battle, there were 4 royal knights.

Led by them and other knights, the Swadia heavy cavalry, as well as the mounted infantry, rushed towards the troops of Fort Kurma.

Fort Coolmar's forces had just surrounded Kenrad's troops, and had been cornered with crossbows and spears, and were about to cooperate with Count Mateas's forces to flank them in front and back, only to be attacked by Uxhall's cavalry.

Kulma's troops were well-armed, though with limited training, and could be seen as skilled spearmen dressed in the equipment of veteran spearmen. In addition, because they also thought that Byron had no troops available, the forward advanced too quickly, the troops were disjointed, and the formation was loose, and the defense line was directly broken away by Uxhall's troops.

The situation is interesting as Byron's troops are encircling Count Mateas, while Fort Coolmar's reinforcements are surrounding part of Byron's forces, and their vanguard is also outflanked by the Uxhall cavalry.

The tide of battle has become more chaotic and one step closer to the end.
