Chapter 43: The Cunning Vulture

Noamun's phalanx of spears resembled a fortress of thorns that were rooted in the earth and fused with the earth, and no matter how Julian's army struck like a monstrous wave, it was difficult to move them and be impregnable.

After accounting for the casualties, the heavy infantry corps, which only had 1,500 people, lost nearly 300 men, and in the face of such a major defeat, Julian was furious and difficult to accept.

The sun was setting on the horizon, Count Simon's reinforcements were on their way, and the emissaries of Angry Waves were hurrying to chase after him----- in order to stop this war, if he could not completely defeat Count Noamon before sunset, then Julian would lose everything, and there would be no resurrection.

"This is only the beginning of my journey, and it should never be the grave where I am buried. Julian said.

Julian's eyes followed the vultures hovering in the sky and making voracious feeding sounds, the vultures have always been ominous symbols, they are the messengers of Hades, where there is death, there will be them, such filthy and unclean beings, they have pursued Julian all the way from the land of Karazhan to the Dawn Plains, hovering over Julian, as if smelling the stench of Julian's soul, patiently waiting for Julian's destruction, wanting to peck a piece of flesh from his body.

In the flock of vultures, there is a vulture leader about 1.5 meters long and four meters long with wings, which seems to be tired of hovering in the air, and with a loud eagle chirp, it flapps its wide wings and glides into the distance, landing on a cypress forest.

In a flash of inspiration, Julian crossed the layers of consciousness and exclaimed, "This is my vulture, the messenger who pronounced the death of Count Noamun." ”

Julian ordered his knights: "Go, cut down the trees, cut down all the trees around you, sharpen them, put them on the wagons loaded with supplies, and convert them into improvised battering rams, and if the Count of Noamon thinks his phalanx is an impregnable fortress, then I will destroy him by siege." ”

"Give you an hour to do as much as you can. ”

At Julian's behest, the cavalry scattered in all directions, searching the Dawn Plains for tall enough trees to serve as battering rams, cutting them down, dragging them back to their camp, and refitting their wagons to erect them. In this way, the already sparse trees of the Dawn Plains were toppled down one by one by Julian's orders, and they would become the stepping stones of Julian's success.

Count Noamun, who was in the distance, also noticed this anomaly and said to Knight Benson: "You disappointed me last time, but this time I will give you another chance to send scouts to check the movements of Count Karazan's troops, they seem to be planning something. ”

"Thank you, sir, I will definitely live up to my mission. The last time he led the cavalry to harass and intercept Julian's march, he caught a void and was severely reprimanded by the Count of Noamun, "I have given you five hundred light cavalry, even five hundred pigs." And was relieved of the status of the captain of the cavalry, and it can be said that he completely lost the favor of the Count of Noamon.

Benson was originally indifferent and arrogant, and spoke harshly, offended many people, but because of his identity as the captain of the cavalry team, no one dared to give him an ugly look in person, this mission failed, and the neglected Benson was ridiculed and ridiculed by his former colleagues, and even the original subordinates ignored him, because Benson was a cruel person and often abused his subordinates for corporal punishment.

It can be said that because of Julian, Benson was excluded from the court of Count Noamun, forced to leave the center of power, and endured humiliation that he had unimaginable before, and he blamed all the blame for all his humiliation on Julian, hating and hating Julian from the bottom of his heart.

Knight Benson led fifty light cavalry out of his base and ran towards Julian's position, and Edgar, who was in charge of monitoring the movements of Count Noamun's army, noticed the anomaly and sent his deputy Max with a hundred rangers to intercept Knight Benson.

Knight Benson found the pursuer behind him, and spat angrily, this mission will not tolerate failure, this is his chance to regain the favor of Count Noamun, if he fails this time, he will completely lose the hope of returning to the court.

"Divided into two teams, one was responsible for resisting the enemy, and the other continued to reconnoiter deep into the enemy. Benson said.

The team responsible for serving as the bait will die without a place to be buried, this is something that everyone knows, Benson looked back and forth at his solemn and silent subordinates with a cold gaze, no one wants to be a stepping stone for Benson to climb up.

"Malone, it's you. You meet with forty cavalry, and the others follow me. Benson named a young man named Malone.

Suddenly pointed out by Benson, Malone was so shocked that his face was bloodless, his mouth seemed to be glued together and difficult to open, and after a while, he muttered, "I understand, my lord." ”

In this way, under the oppression of Bensen's power, the forty cavalry represented by Ma Long were forced to embark on the road to death, and the remaining ten people who followed Benson had no joy on their faces, because they knew that Benson would decisively abandon the forty people at this time, and when they encountered a crisis, they would also decisively choose to run the line.

The young man named Ma Long faced the Karazhan cavalry twice the size, his face was withered, as stiff as the yellow leaves of autumn, the Karazhan cavalry stepped on the green grass like a thunderous iron hoof, as if hitting his soft heart, Ma Long raised his spear and pointed directly at the Karazan cavalry that was rushing forward, cheering himself up: "For Noamun, for the roaring lion, charge!"

Marlon led the charge, and soon the two cavalry teams collided and fought together, but the outnumbered Noamun cavalry was quickly crushed, and they were surrounded by the Karazan cavalry, struggling to resist and try to delay a little longer, which was their only remaining significance.

When Max's spear pierced Marlon's heart, the last hussar tossed as a decoy by Benson died, and his body was trampled under the iron hooves of the Karazan cavalry.

"Damn, what a tough bunch of guys. Max wiped the blood from Marlon that had splattered on his face, "But I admire your bravery. I called it a day and went back. ”

"My lord, it seems that the number is wrong, there should be more than these people. One of Max's cavalrymen counted the corpses and said.

"Damn, we've been fooled!" Exclaimed Max, "they're nothing more than decoys thrown out, and the real target has run away." Continue the pursuit. ”
