Chapter 23: Glory and Dreams
Five minutes earlier, on New Lorrainburg, on the other side of the Rick River, a light had been lit. Because of the angle, only those north of New Lorrainburg could see that the lamp was lit four times and circled the air four times.
Looking at Martin who was holding the lamp, Sylvie said strangely: "Wait, didn't the offensive signal agreed with Uncle Coolden go around three times?"
Martin shouted in his heart at that time: "I'll strangle the grass! I was excited for a while, sir......
Of course, Martin, as an honest and reliable gentleman, will never admit that his hands are shaking and twisting around.
He pretended to be deep: "A knight who doesn't want to be a general is not a good knight." My ploy has burned most of those damned orcs to death, and all that's left is some sweeping. I'd be disappointed if Kouden didn't even know how to improvise. They've been testing me, so why haven't I tested them?"
Originally, Sylvie wanted to complain about Martin, but unfortunately she was deeply shocked by Martin's sentence "A knight who doesn't want to be a general is not a good knight!".
Being able to become a real, canonized knight was already the biggest dream of her life. Who would have thought that Martin's words would raise her dream to a whole new level - a female general!
"It would be great if I could become a female general and gallop on the battlefield...... Sylvie muttered softly.
Although this sentence was light, it was still heard by a few people around him in the silent night.
Sylvie's face turned red for a moment, she expected to be ridiculed by Martin.
Who wants Martin's next sentence to be more shocking -
"People have dreams, what is the difference between a person without dreams and a salted fish?" was Martin's casual remark.
In the Celestial Empire, this sentence is a rotten joke used by countless people.
In the Kaos Continent, it is tantamount to a god-level inspirational proverb that no one has ever heard!
You must know that Martin's current identity is the young lord of Lorrainburg! Now this battle is full of advantages, and it must not be long before the word 'generation' will be removed.
Listening to Sylvie's ears is tantamount to Martin admonishing her not to be decadent and not to give up on her dreams!
That's right, since she was a child, Sylvie has had the most fanatical knightly dreams. It's one thing for her to be indomitable, it's another to be recognized, and it's the highest level of spiritual satisfaction to be recognized by the next lord.
For a moment, every cell in Sylvie's body was overjoyed with ecstasy, and she wanted to make an immortal contribution to Martin's promise.
If it weren't for the fear that Martin would fool her, maybe she would have kissed Martin a few times in ecstasy.
"Just wait, I'll make a great contribution!"
"Ugh. ”
On the other side, on the bank of the river, Charlie asked, "The agreed signal for the attack is three laps, right?"
Kouden disagreed: "It's okay, anyway, the signal to stop the attack is to swing from side to side, and the more times you swing, the more serious the situation is." Listen to those screams...... The young master has done a good job, it's a miracle. If a fourteen-year-old boy can do it perfectly, then I will be afraid of what kind of demon he is. ”
"That's too. Charlie was relieved.
"Prepare to attack!" Kuden's shout suddenly caused a clattering sound of folding armor around him.
The more than 100 cavalry here are already all the mobile forces of Lorraineburg. This is still the number that was made up by pulling out all the knight apprentices.
Unless there is a matter of life and death, a knight apprentice who has been trained for less than three years will never be sent to the battlefield.
Apparently that now is the juncture.
Kuden raised his spear and shouted, "Rejoice! It was his ploy that allowed you to face a bunch of rabbits dressed in orc skins. Now the glory is before you, all of you, listen to me—"
A rabbit with an orc skin?
It sounds funny, but in fact, every apprentice knight, knight servant, and knight apprentice is boiling with blood.
Ggent's skull-splitter orc clan is the largest cancer in the kingdom of Bakaria, a thorn in the flesh of the eye.
Because Gynt belongs to the northwestern peak of the Eight Peaks of Karas, it happens to be stuck in the core of the kingdom of Bakaria. Bakaria is located in the westernmost part of the Kaos continent and is long from north to south on the map.
The richest royal capital, Kot, was located to the north, followed by the province of Baden Forest to the west of Ggente, Ernès to the west, and the province of Rüks to the southwest.
It can be said that because the orcs ran down from the highest ground from time to time to fight the autumn wind, the four provinces, including the royal capital of Kot and Lorrainburg, were not at peace.
However, the kingdom has carried out many sieges and suppressions, but they have not been able to capture Ggent, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. King Keane can only issue a crusade with a bounty of 1 silver Pegasus for each goblin's head, and 10 silver Pegasus for ordinary orcs......
The Pegasus Knight is a legendary class of troops in Baccaria, so the head of Pegasus is also printed on the Bakaria coin, which is divided into three types: gold, silver and bronze, because the gold, silver and copper content in the coin is extremely high, so it is a typical hard currency in the entire human world and even the dwarf country.
50 silver Pegasus, you can already buy a good leather armor. 2 golden pegasus, a 2-year-old war horse beckoning to you. 10 golden pegasus, a set of armor that can be passed on to children and grandchildren.
If it were a normal matchup, it would have turned out to be a brutal fight like when Kouden rescued Martin a few days ago.
But now, the orcs who fled in a hurry are simply money bags that can run away!
And cavalrymen with actual combat experience are the easiest to promote!
Whether it is glory or money, it deeply stimulates every nerve that sprouts in these knightly worlds. Old Kuden led the charge, and the cavalry followed closely with a rainbow of morale.
Kouden suddenly discovered that when arranging the assault route of the cavalry, the image of Major Master Martin in the minds of these old knights was definitely not that of a rookie who had never really commanded the battle.
The route starts in a grove on the edge of the river beach, where it is least easy to spot, and rushes out of a 200-metre straight dirt road that allows the horses to accelerate to the limit.
On the other hand, it was the orc cavalry who had just escaped from the fire. That's all for all, because the terrain of the old Lorraine Fort is relatively higher than the river beach, and there is a drop of more than ten meters. However, down this slope, there is just a low-lying area. When the orc cavalry came from the low-lying ground, there was no speed.
A knight who is not in a sprint state is no different from a large infantryman.
Even more brilliant was the timing of Martin's order for the assault, when the Lorrainburg cavalry arrived, it was the moment when the orcs suddenly changed and fled from the fire.
This wonderful attack timing is no longer just an excellent general can be described, it is simply the god of cavalry.
