Chapter 25: The Fate of the Eagle and the Falcon
At midnight that day, in the calm lower reaches of the Yu River, a dozen strong figures appeared along the west bank of the river under the moonlight, and after wading into the water, they flexibly paddled to the east bank, these warriors wearing Germanic helmets were the royal guards under Joshim, crossing the river nearly 100 meters wide, these guards finally stepped on the shallows on the east bank of the You River, wading towards a torch planted on the bank of the river.

"It's the chief's handwriting, but where has he gone?"
"I don't know...... Now I'm freezing to death, this is the agreed place......"
Several guards stopped by the torches, and in the light of the fire there was a line written on the sand: Tonight, the guards of the rank of squadron leader and above must assemble here, and there is an urgent strategic need to negotiate - Joshim
"I'm sorry brothers, I'm late and I'm in some trouble on the way. ”
The footsteps of the three were heard nearby, and Joshim, together with Faye and Kai, came here to meet with the guards, and at this moment the guards curtsied, and after receiving the salute, Josim ordered them to get up, and said: "We are out on a mission, so these etiquettes will be waived, this is Instructor Kai and Augst from the Free Capital, and we will go to the heavily guarded camp of Javier together." ”
"We're on our own...... If we fail, won't we discredit our other brothers?" asked one of the guards.
Joshim pointed to Fihe and Kai beside him, and confidently assured the guards: "We have to believe that the hero in the hearts of the men, Keblake the Freedom Falcon, and his disciples, we will definitely not fail to rob the camp tonight, and please believe in my strategy, brothers!"
When the guards knew the identities of Kai and Fei, everyone sighed with emotion, and Kai just smiled at this: "We will do our best, this battle can be over as long as we capture Javier, please look forward to our performance!"
While Kai was talking and laughing, Faye was half-crouching and drawing a camp layout on the sand with a knife, and when everyone looked at him with regret, Faye replied, "Tristan of Freedom Wings deposited his falcon in Chanda, and I sent it to Javier's camp to reconnoiter before leaving, and this is the map of the distribution of troops there......"
"About a kilometer west of Udinillard, here is the first outpost, a dozen archers and two dozen heavy infantry, only three watchtowers and a barracks, it should not be difficult to force a breakthrough, all you have to worry about is the beacon fire tactics...... After this checkpoint, there were several cavalry patrols of twenty men on the way, and the enemy camp was in the center of the occupied village of Udineirad. ”
"The instructor's analysis is good...... Overall, our combat strength is still good, Nord's royal guards are all elite soldiers, if we can give full play to the advantage of close combat, we still have a good chance of winning after attacking the enemy formation!"
"Captain, since we are crossing the river, we only have short axes for battle, right? Then we can only snatch weapons from the enemy, please be sure to grab a batch of moon-bladed axes and kite-shaped shields when you capture the first outpost, and you must break through the encirclement of the patrol team to reach Udinillad halfway, and you must survive to use the village building to defeat the enemy!"
A cool breeze blew, and Josim hurriedly had an invisible pressure on his shoulders, but he still drew his sword and said confidently: "I will be responsible for the lives of every brother, and I will not let you die in a different place, now pick up your weapons, let's go!"
When the guards heard this, they all drew their short axes from their waists, raised them above their heads, and shouted: "For the king! For the sake of Nord!
The battle-spirited Royal Guard, led by Joshim, began to advance towards the area where the first outpost was located, and as Faye was about to catch up, Kai stopped him......
"Fei, I feel like it's going to be a little suspenseful tonight, Javier is also a well-known general of the Virgians, and his martial arts should not be underestimated. In any case, after the defeat, you must protect Josim and his subordinates from escaping, and I will take care of the rear. ”
"Instructor...... Aren't you the best at reversal? And I'm here. Seeing Kai's concerns, Fei decided to take some of the pressure off her teacher.
At this time, Kai laughed and patted Fei's shoulder: "Ahaha~ I'm old, and my physical strength and spirit can't keep up with the past, but my skills haven't deteriorated, trust your teacher!"
"Of course~"
In the face of this murderous and auspicious action, the two still talked and laughed and walked side by side towards the target location......
After walking along the trade road to Udenillad for dozens of minutes, they gradually approached the so-called outpost, three wooden arrow towers that had just been built stood behind a high wall of tree stumps that separated the trade road, and the only passable was a wooden gate less than four meters wide guarded by several guards......
Upon discovering that the two were approaching, the guards all clenched their moonblade axes in their hands, and two of the guards stepped forward and asked unkindly.
"Who are you!Why are you here late at night!?"
"It's just an ordinary tourist, and I hope that the big brother of the army will be convenient, let's go over~"
"Dressed like this...... It's suspicious! Well, pay a hundred dinars and we'll believe you're just tourists!"
As they talked, the archers on the nearby towers stared at Kai. Fei and the two, but too focused, there will always be trouble, a cold arrow from the nearby darkness, an archer helmet was pierced by a crossbow arrow, fell in the blood splash, when the other archers beside him searched for the enemy in all directions, a black shadow flashed from the wooden wall, and in the darkness Fei Fei out a few throwing knives killed all the remaining archers, silently eliminated all the archers on the arrow tower, until the splash of blood trickled down the wooden wall, dripping on the helmets of the guards who had not yet reacted.
"Blood!!" the sentries screamed and waved their weapons and looked around, but they didn't notice anything, not even Faye and Kai didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, but the Vigian soldiers pressed their weapons tightly to their chests, as if they thought they were responsible.
"This is really a misunderstanding~ Forget it, Joshim! Do it!!"
Kai kicked the guards in front of him down, caught up with the front kick and kicked him in the neck, Fei also repelled the guards who surrounded him, and Joshim, who was hiding nearby, led the royal guards to kill, and almost at the same moment, he threw a sharp battle axe, and the sharp axe blade swirling in the air was precisely embedded in the chest of these guards, and the battle ended in an instant.
A few minutes passed......
"Six moonblade axes, two old compound bows, and two bags of arrows...... You, give them to the guards!"
After counting the guards' sidearms, Josim took his sword and slashed open the wooden door that blocked his advance, and went with the guards to the barracks behind the wooden wall to search for the booty, while Kai and Fei climbed the arrow tower and found the assassinated archers, feeling uneasy in their hearts.
"Such a powerful method, he can actually accurately shoot the target while moving, and without the slightest bias, he continues to shoot throwing knives to kill other shooters on the nearby arrow tower...... Top-notch killing skills!"
After examining the corpse, Faye was very surprised by the killer's skill, and at the same time, Kai checked the only homemade crossbow arrow, which was not much different from the ordinary iron arrows on the market, but he found some clues in the size and arrow structure, and an idea flashed through his mind.
"It was a professional assassin who killed these archers, but we didn't find it, and there was a sense of déjà vu...... Forget it, let's go, take these people's bows and arrows. ”
After receiving the order, Faye picked up two hard bows, handed one of them to Kai, each carried a bag of arrows and left the arrow tower, Joshim and the others who searched for the loot also found some standard weapons of Vegia, and at present, the guards are all armed with a moon-bladed axe, and the javelin also ensures the basic equipment of each person, and after the armament is completed, they turn to march along the trade road towards Udenillad in the east.
The group came to the village of Udinillad with trepidation, and Kai immediately noticed a large tent with an iron helmet flag fluttering in the center of the village, but at this time, the whole camp was in flames, and the soldiers of Virgia did not have time to go out to patrol, but instead searched through the buildings in the village with weapons in hand, and rushed to Javier's tent anxiously.
"Looks like their camp has been attacked! Joshim shouted, personally led the guards to cover the past, Kai and Fei didn't have time to stop, the dozen royal guards rushed into the village, only to see the Vigian soldiers panicked, have picked up farm tools to resist, but in the face of the royal guards who were heavily armed at this time, they were killed without any resistance, and a moment later, the already chaotic camp was full of fire, Josim led people to set fire everywhere, and the uninhabited village buildings were all burned, and the fire and smoke rose to the sky.
"Really! Charge before you can figure out the situation! No matter what...... Let's hurry up and make sure the security situation is safe, don't break it!!" Kai gave the order to Faye and rushed to Javier's camp in stride, and Fei also rushed to the side of the village with his gun, preparing to cover the retreat after everyone successfully held Javier hostage.
After rushing into the camp, Kai hurried to the position of the commander, only to find a middle-aged man dressed in aristocratic heavy armor trembling with blood on the corner of his mouth, and a deep sword wound on his chest, as if he would die at any moment.
Looking around, the guards who should have been on duty have been killed, the huge wound broke through the scale armor of the protective body and cut off the chest, the whole camp was lifeless, Kai confirmed from the shield on the ground that the deceased was Javier's guard, and the man who almost died was the vanguard of the Vigian expeditionary force, the brave heavy knight Javier, after analyzing the clues at the scene, he had already guessed who caused all this.
At this time, all the Vigian soldiers outside the camp fell, but to Joshim's puzzlement, only the riders and ordinary soldiers were killed, and the most famous chainmail iron cavalry under the command of Javier was nowhere to be found, and in a nearby wood, hundreds of heavy cavalry in iron chain mail and a whole team of archers pressed towards the camp side by side, and shouted to avenge Javier, and in an instant the rain of arrows washed away the lifeless camp, Josim and the royal guards fell to the ground with arrows, but still held their shields to resist the attack.
"Quick!!Bring Mr. Javier aboard!!Hurry up!!"
Kai rolled out of the camp, tore off Javier's iron armor of more than fifty kilograms, threw the wounded to Joshim, turned his spear to defend them against the bow and arrows, Josim pulled out the arrow from his shoulder, and picked up Javier, who was hanging by a thread, and shouted: "Instructor Kai!! ”
"What are you waiting for!
The Pulse Spear spread out a shockwave under Kai's swing to knock down arrows in a straight line, and as Vegia's cavalry had already stormed the camp, Josim immediately led his men across the village's farmland and toward the outskirts.
Seeing Josim and the others go away in the rain of arrows, Kai couldn't resist anymore, and hurriedly flashed to the side of the bunker, scolding in his heart: Damn, Veguia's bow and arrow really deserves its reputation, why didn't Fei do it?
"He's not coming back!"
There was a voice nearby that made Kaidu feel panicked, and the archers of Virgia who were lined up in a line were instantly pierced by a sword qi shock wave in a straight line, and the blood rain covered the ground nearby, and the heavy armored cavalry also suffered misfortune, and in a flash of swords, some fell off their horses, and some were directly divided into two.
In an instant, two crossbow arrows shot at the position where Kai was standing, and Kai, who had avoided earlier, was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth and asked himself: "Is this murderous aura him?"
He jumped on top of a nearby building again to dodge several throwing knives flying from the same direction, and finally two sharpened steel cones hit Kai in the air, causing him to fall heavily, and the sound just now sounded from nearby again, and Fei walked towards Kai's location under someone's hostage.
"Ahem...... Thankfully, I caught the weapons, but it was just a collision, and it's sad! Kai threw away the steel cone in his hand and stood up from the blood-stained ground, shouting to the figure behind him.
"Akai, you're old, I'm old...... But unlike you, who have been weakened by aging, my strength will always remain at its peak, so what will happen to us this time?" the figure behind Fei revealed his true colors, he was Shion Freeman, who had threatened to fight Kai again, and today he was wearing the same coat he wore when he went to Zenda that day.
"Instructor...... I'm sorry, I fell for this guy's ambush......" Fei smiled bitterly as Shi Ang held a bayonet to his throat.
Kai picked up the war spear on the ground and pointed in the direction where Shi Ang was: "Fei ...... He is Shi Ang, the Eagle of Freedom, the strongest of the three back then, and it is normal that you will lose to him...... As for Shion, what do you want to do with Filipino?"
"Not good...... He's just a spectator!!"
Shi Ang drugged Fei in an instant, robbed him of his mobility, and took off the skull-textured greatsword DevilSpirit from the buckle on his back, a huge murderous aura swept over, and Kai's body also diffused bursts of fighting energy, and the two looked at each other and walked towards each other in unison.
In an instant, the two exchanged dozens of moves, the fierce collision of blades and spear blades splattered in the air, and finally the two of them bounced off each other's attacks and retreated, staring into each other's eyes after standing still.
"Looks like I'm underestimating you...... I didn't expect you to be able to use this ancient weapon today. ”
"DevilSpirit, why don't you wave it with the Devil's wrist? You do have demonic blood in your body, but using the Demon Weapon in the flesh will eventually have a backlash. Kay worried.
Shi Ang wielded the big sword without pressure, his palm clenched the bone-like hilt, a simple swing action triggered a huge vacuum blade, the opposite Kai urgently dodged the attack, and also stabbed out a shockwave in response, Shi Ang of course could easily dodge, and the two continued to confront each other after regaining their composure again.
"You attacked Javier, why did you miss, did your strength degrade, too?" asked Kay, pacing back and forth in front of Shion, carrying his spear over his shoulder.
"Although the name of Heavy Knight Javier is well-known on the mainland, the gap between him and you and me is not half a star, so if I try to kill him, he will not live. ”
"Really...... Are you going to turn back, and get out of the devil's bondage......" Kai asked again.
Shi Ang shook his head indifferently: "Why? I just know that I am still free, and I have acquired this power that will never weaken! Ten years ago, I received the blood of the devil, but you turned against me because of it, and this degradation is what you want?"
"As under the control of the devil as you are, do you really think you are free?"
"It's enough for me...... All that remains is to use this immortal body to get back the revenge of the defeat of the year!"
"Well! Since you are so obsessed! Then don't blame my old friend for being ruthless! Today I will challenge you as the Falcon of Liberty! Will I be a coward, or will I fight!?"
"As the former Eagle of Freedom! I, Sylon Freeman, accept your challenge!
In the center of the fiery village of Udinerad, the eagle and the falcon duel under the impetus of their fate, accompanied by murderous and strong winds, the two fought together again, and under the moonlight, the two continued to spill their own blood, at the cost of their own souls to drive a powerful force, and the terrifying shock wave and sword aura destroyed the already dilapidated camp......
