In the era of "Ripping Ground", there was no concept of "street fighting" in people's minds - castles, fortresses and even manors, no matter how they fought before, once the gate was breached, it was basically declared that the battle was won.

The breakdown of the defensive line would have caused the morale of the defenders to drop to the bottom, and the ensuing battle would essentially be a one-sided massacre.

With this in mind, when they saw the iron gate of the manor in front of them collapse, the hearts of the soldiers who rushed to the front were immediately excited.

According to common sense, the battle has become unforeseen in the future.

There was a slight commotion in the manor's mansion, but it was quickly drowned out by the sound of horses' hooves raised by the cavalry behind them. The candlelight in the master bedroom on the second floor flickered a few times, and a figure flashed hurriedly—seeing this scene, the two barons on the horse couldn't help but smile and squint their eyes, and promised a reward to the soldiers in front of them:

"A head is exchanged for three silver coins, and whoever kills Sodrol will be rewarded with a gold coin"

The soldiers' already hurried steps instantly quickened again, and the excitement and fanaticism in their eyes were undisguised... These people said that they were "soldiers", but in fact, they were all strong farmers in the village in the past, and all their desire to fight basically came from the yearning for money, so when they heard the words "gold coins" and "silver coins", they suddenly rushed up even harder - the gate of the mansion was close in front of them, and the soldiers at the front had already clenched their weapons in their hands, screaming and preparing to smash open the solid wooden door.

But when it was still seven or eight meters away, this gate was suddenly... opened.

The soldiers in front of them were stunned for a moment, because there were no candles lit in the dim hall of the mansion, it was pitch black at this time, and they couldn't see anything inside—but the echo of the horse's paw hitting the floor as the horse walked was clearly audible...

"They have horses and are cavalry"

"Be careful"

It was too late to react, and with a loud "ride", led by Sodrore, five knights on war horses suddenly rushed out of the mansion and crashed directly into the soldiers in the front row

The knights were dressed in half-length light armor, and except for Sodrol, who was armed with a heavy sword, the remaining four were armed with terrifying heavy weapons - two-handed axes, chain maces, maces... This weapon, which was difficult for ordinary people to hold, immediately exerted terrifying power in the dense battle formation of close sprints

The sound of a watermelon popping sounded, and in the splattering of blood, the five knights almost stepped on the corpses of the soldiers in the first row

The soldiers who had just rushed into the manor had no vigilance at all, so their formation was completely scattered - at this time, when they were suddenly attacked, they only felt that five black mountains rushed out of their faces, and when they raised their heads to meet the enemy, the originally high morale was instantly crushed...

Sodrore is 1.9 meters tall, and the scouts who follow him are all burly men who are 1.8 meters tall, and at this time, they are just riding their horses forward, which is enough to give people a sense of despair that they can't meet.

And what's even more terrifying is that Sodrore and the others are definitely not "looks", after waving the weapons in their hands without mercy, the infantry in the second echelon to meet the enemy flew out of a large area

Although there were only five men, the horses were like scythes ignoring the infantry's obstruction as they advanced - in the face of real professional soldiers, these soldiers could really only be called "farmers", and there was no enemy at all.

The infantry were dumbfounded, the people in front stopped trying to dodge, and the people in the back were huddled together because of the narrow entrance to the manor, which made some of the soldiers unable to retreat and dodge, and at the last they could only throw away their weapons and run to the side with their lives... And in this way, the morale of the infantry, which was still strong, completely collapsed.

"Rush out of the road"

Sodrore's command was calm and composed, in stark contrast to the soldiers who had already begun to flee in all directions by this time—the five armored light horsemen rushed out of the mansion with ease, and after leveling the line of more than twenty infantrymen, there was almost an illusion that the soldiers who had rushed into the manor would be pushed back

The two barons standing in the back were completely frightened by this scene, it felt like some kind of ferocious beast had been released from the manor, and several soldiers in the field of vision tried to attack these knights, but when the huge hammer wheel came, their bodies were smashed directly to pieces with a muffled sound

The chest cavity shattered, the skull exploded, and the terrifying power of heavy weapons was vividly illustrated in such encounters...

"I'm Baron Sodrore, shameless sneak attackers, you'll pay for it"

In the midst of the hellish bloody scene, Sodrore, who rushed ahead, shouted angrily at the soldiers. Then he didn't love fighting, turned around and ran towards the back of the manor, as if a "good man doesn't suffer the loss in front of him".

As a result, the faces of the two barons were instantly extremely ugly, and they wanted to chase them, but when they saw the smashed corpse in the shape of a human being, they had to hold the reins tightly, and shouted angrily to the side: "Go up, go up, chase and kill them, only five of them, do you still let them run?" ”

The more than sixty knights beside him immediately rushed forward, hula and rushed towards the manor - but they ran fast, and the soldiers in front of them who tried to pursue ran slowly, so the space in the manor was not enough for the cavalry to bypass, so many infantry could not dodge, and were actually knocked out of the city by their own people...

The scene was chaotic in an instant.

This was not the scene the two barons expected - when they saw that there were only five of them, they were secretly happy in their hearts, but in an instant, the other party was gone, but their own soldiers were huddled together like waste, this kind of disparity was unacceptable...

"Damn, get out of the way and block them from the left and right, can they still run away in the manor?

shouting like this, but there are only a few that can really be heard on the chaotic battlefield - the lord's combat method in this era is actually like this: it is difficult for the commander's orders to be transmitted to the battlefield, a group of "militiamen" who have not undergone systematic training, and a group of knights who have been pampered all year round, it is indeed difficult to respond to such a battlefield suddenly...

However, the cavalry was fast enough after all, and after getting rid of the entanglement of their own people, they immediately began to accelerate, bypassing the manor mansion and passing through the abandoned back garden, these knights who finally took advantage of their original advantages expected to see the five knights who were forced into the corner, but when they turned their vision, they only saw the back of the fast running towards the distant forest...

Turning their gaze closer, they realized that a section of the manor's wall had been torn apart

The faces of the two barons who followed were extremely ugly - sixty cavalry and more than a hundred infantry, how could five people escape so easily?

"I'm going to see Sodrore's head in an hour's chase"

With an angry rebuke, more than sixty knights rumbled towards the five black shadows in the distance. And the soldiers who were left behind also reported a piece of news at this time-

"The catacombs are empty"

"There is no one in the manor"

"Lord Baron, this place is empty..."

"I know that the Tao is empty, so what are you waiting for? Let's chase it together."

A roar sounded in the back garden of the manor, and then the two barons looked at each other, but they raised their horsewhips at the same time - the opportunity to avenge Ansardine was in sight, and they could not afford to miss it anyway.

"A bunch of retarded people."

In the forest two kilometers away from the manor, Roddy stood on top of the makeshift watchtower and looked at the knights who were chasing after him like bees in the distance, and gave a very unkind "evaluation" in his mouth.

With a pine needle in his mouth, although Roddy's tone was more playful, his face was not relaxed at this time.

After noticing that there was a problem in the negotiations between the nobles, he immediately withdrew with most of his soldiers to the defensive line that had been repaired a week ago - speaking of which, the current defensive line with a large number of fortifications was originally used to deal with this group of "traitors", but its activation time was advanced due to the attack of the other party...

This is an extraneous situation - according to the original agreement, Roddy only needs to enclose these nobles in Kiger Town until the 2nd, but this targeted attack launched in the early morning of the 10th still makes Roddy feel a little uneasy in his heart.

If you don't make it to No. 2, you'll have a bad time.

But such thoughts were fleeting, and looking at the knights chasing after him in the distance, Roddy quickly suppressed those unreliable thoughts - joke, if you can't even beat this group of guys, what else do you have to plan?

Counting the time of Sodrore's march, Roddy turned around and made a "Ready for battle" gesture to Ruger.

Turning his gaze to the other side, Akasha, who was squatting behind a tree, just as he looked at each other, Roddy nodded indifferently, and then went to sort out the quiver behind his back.

Akasha below blinked, pursed her lips slightly and looked away, her expression didn't seem to change, but the palms under the sleeves of the robe were slightly clenched, and the palms were unconsciously a little wet.

Unable to tell if it was nervousness or other emotions, Akasha looked down at the ring on her finger and whispered to herself, "Remember what he said, you can't hold back..."

The soldiers in the line were ready, but to outsiders it looked completely "empty" - both scouts and temple guards had been ordered to hide their bodies under the fallen leaves, motionless.

Time passes.

The sound of horses' hooves grew louder, and when the first rays of the rising sun lit up the trees at the top of the forest, Sodrol and the others rushed into the dense forest.

And behind them, sixty cavalrymen dragged in a long formation, chaotically chasing in...
