Chapter 41: The Feast

I took off my armor, took the wooden sword from the attendant, and saluted the Duke of Villeta. The Duke of Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info had just drunk a glass of wine elegantly, and was saluting me at this time.

Most of the Kugit people don't care about swordsmanship, which is something that Westerners play, so many people don't know anything about Duke Veleta, the "first swordsman of Svadia", so there is a situation where Yan Tansu should underestimate the enemy.

But I have to remind the lords of the khanate, so that I can look better after I lose, and also maintain a little dignity of the khanate. So I said, "It's a great honor to fight with you, the 'First Swordsman of Svadia'. I've also heard that the other day you defeated the masters of the countries of Calradia, and now you should be called the 'First Swordsman of Calradia'. ”

This title is well deserved, because no one dares to challenge him anymore.

"It's a prize!" said Duke Villeta, laughing.

I didn't waste any more time, because I had nothing to say, so I started jousting.

I've seen his speed, a little faster than Sir Anders. I didn't dare to rush forward, just waiting for him to attack. When he attacked, I blocked or dodged, and retreated, never entangled with him, and only made two or three moves at a time. That's how we came over twenty or thirty moves.

The Duke of Villeta, dissatisfied with my near-reliant tactics, pushed me to the table. I see that defeat is decided, so I might as well strike once. So I took my sword in both hands and swung it from the bottom up from the right side. The Duke took advantage of the situation to pick it up, and I hurriedly rowed back, and came again from the left, and the Duke hurriedly blocked. His sword spun so fast that it slashed at my face, and I had no time to use it, so I had to block it with my hands.

There was a sharp pain, and my gauntlets were shattered. Then my right arm felt like it had been burned by fire, and the pain was unbearable.

I gritted my teeth and held the wooden sword with my right hand, using my left hand to exert force.

I remembered what the knight had told me. He said, "If you can't dodge flexibly, use all your strength and attack." "So I began to use brute force to compare with the Duke of Villeta. I slashed with one sword, but was easily parried by the Duke of Villeta. It seems that I have the upper hand, but in fact the Duke of Villeta is the one who has the victory.

The Duke of Villeta knew that hard work would drain his stamina, but a steppe man like me had an inexhaustible strength. So after 20 rounds of my onslaught, he stopped struggling with me, spotted a flaw, and slammed the back of his sword into my face. He had the right amount of force to not hurt me badly, but also to knock me to the ground.

My face was hot, and I didn't know if it was the pain in my face or the shame of failure. The Duke of Villeta owes himself and says, "Accept it!"

I shook my head to sober myself up, and said, "Come again!"

Duke Villeta smiled: "I am happy to accompany you!"

I got back up, and in less than ten rounds I was knocked down again.

I was dazed and said again, "Come again!"

I don't know how many times I was knocked down that day, how many times I said "come again". I don't know how I fainted, all I know is that I woke up covered in bandage ointment and lying in a room

The first thing I saw was a spider with a web on the beams of the house.

I felt that it was hard to open my eyelids, and I wanted to close my eyes and sleep for a while, but my consciousness was awake and I felt a burning pain.

A young man with a beard appeared in my sight. I thought about it, oh, his name is Ressarit.

"You're awake. Resarit said, "Are you better?"

"It's not good at all. James interjected, "Miserable! There are four fractures, and one of them is comminuted! Oops, the corners of the eyes are also broken, if you go a little further, you don't need to ask for eyes! Thanks to my medical skills, or you will break your appearance! Stupid, if you lose, you will admit defeat, you have to be strong, what are you doing? Can't you get along with yourself? Why bother, life is so beautiful......

"Go!, get to the point!" the crowd scolded.

"Oh...... That one...... It is...... Well, I'm far away. Also, it's a little broken, but fortunately, it's not hot and there's no inflammation. There's no problem with anything else, the body is great, like an eighteen-year-old guy! I can eat and sleep, and it doesn't affect any bodily functions! Uh, you don't seem to be twenty yet, and you just don't say anything to me. You don't have any problems anyway. Really, I promise. Cultivate for a few days, and you will be as alive and vigorous, whether on the battlefield or in bed!"

I smiled laboriously.

I started a life of recuperation. In winter, there is no farm work in the village, only to go up the mountain to hunt deer and roe deer. Villagers who don't hunt take care of the business of the village's medicine factory and hotel. Resarit and Uligi were recruiting troops everywhere, ambushing caravans, and suppressing the cowards.

Uludana in winter is peaceful and quiet, but my heart is not here. Every day I listened to Resarit report to me on the situation in the south. Salander's army engaged in tug-of-war with the Khanate's army at Rana and Halma, each with its own victories and defeats. Nayan Azugan went south to harass Salander in the southeastern frontier territory of Asoganfort, and fought a battle with Salander's army in the desert, and was defeated and captured.

I was anxious to go to war, but James told me that if I didn't recuperate, I would probably end up disabled. I made a final agreement with him that if the Khanate came to call me up, I would go to war.

Soon, a Captain of the Kugit Ten, came to the village and conveyed to me the orders of Nayan Boura. He asked me to report to him with at least 30 soldiers, and he wanted to retake Rana.

I hurriedly sent someone to recall Resarit and Uliji. I ordered some of my soldiers, there were more than 60 Kugit soldiers in total, of which forty could already be called elite soldiers, this is the main force, and it is also the first team, which I personally lead. There were also the two Swadian knights who had just been canonized, and 15 Swadian heavy cavalry, the second team, led by Sir Anders, who followed closely behind. In addition to this, I had a third squad of 30 Swadia light infantry, militiamen, crossbowmen, and other troops, led by Bandak and Chenastu. The 120 men went straight to the tent of the marshal of the Khanate of Pahimi. I took my whole army out.

While we were resting in Halma, I met Fatis, a former Suno cavalry officer. This good-natured man fell in love with the same woman as his comrades-in-arms, and the depressed Fatis drank a lot of wine, and killed his comrades-in-arms by mistake after drinking. Shameless to face Suno's family and friends, he ran to Kugit alone to seek spiritual relief. Sir Anders was over sixty years old, and he was unable to do something, and he happened to lack a captain of the heavy cavalry, so I asked him to join my unit and be Sir Anders's lieutenant to manage the heavy cavalry unit.

We met Marshal Nayan Boura in Pahimi, who thanked me for his support. He said that he was waiting for the arrival of the other lords of the khanate.

In total, 1,500 soldiers were gathered, and the mighty Kugit army marched towards Rana. In response to the marshal's attack, Saiga Khan led the Khanate's elite Khan guards out of Tulga and headed straight for Zegasi.

We left Pahimi at night. I know that the mighty Sultan of Hakim has sent 800 troops to help garrison Rana, and Nayan Boura wants to launch a surprise attack. But the front army met the troops of the Sheikh of Hashwan on the road and fought. I was in the Chinese army, and I didn't participate in the battle, but I only heard the shouts of killing for two hours, and then gradually disappeared.

The battle hindered the progress of the Khanate's army and informed the Saland's army of its movements.

As the first rays of the sun fell on the ground, we saw the army of Salander on the horizon in the morning light.

"Arrows from behind!" I ordered.

Under the cover of the rain of arrows, the cavalry spears of the Kugit cavalry stabbed the Mamluks, and the steel spears of the Mamluks also stabbed many Kugit cavalry. I aimed at an enemy soldier and pierced him.

I didn't have time to celebrate, so I turned the gun and stabbed the other person. At that moment, my right arm was chopped off. In severe pain, I threw away my riding gun. I drew the knife with my left hand backhand, reversed the hilt, picked up the broadsword on my horse, and cut off half of a Mamluk's head.

I slashed left and right, and finally broke out of the encirclement after slashing three or more enemies. I did not dare to stop for a moment, and rode my horse wildly, and as I looked back at my soldiers, most of them rushed out.

I shouted, "Don't fight, follow me!"

I returned with my men back to Nayan Boryura. Nayan Akadan, beside him, dismounted, knelt down on one knee and saluted me, saying, "Thank you, Nayan Chinasi!"

I hurriedly returned the salute.

The marshal said: "You are behaving well, you can go and rest." ”

After thanking the marshal, I asked James to help me bandage. James shook his head while bandaging and said, "Miserable......"

At this time, Nayan Wulusamai's attack was unfavorable and he retreated with a team. The Mamluk troops followed.

Nayan Boruura looked at it and said, "Uyusamai, you stand down, let me release the arrow!" I ordered.

Under the cover of the rain of arrows, the cavalry spears of the Kugit cavalry stabbed the Mamluks, and the steel spears of the Mamluks also stabbed many Kugit cavalry. I aimed at an enemy soldier and pierced him.

I didn't have time to celebrate, so I turned the gun and stabbed the other person. At that moment, my right arm was chopped off. In severe pain, I threw away my riding gun. I drew the knife with my left hand backhand, reversed the hilt, picked up the broadsword on my horse, and cut off half of a Mamluk's head.

I slashed left and right, and finally broke out of the encirclement after slashing three or more enemies. I did not dare to stop for a moment, and rode my horse wildly, and as I looked back at my soldiers, most of them rushed out.

I shouted, "Don't fight, follow me!"

I returned with my men back to Nayan Boryura. Nayan Akadan, beside him, dismounted, knelt down on one knee and saluted me, saying, "Thank you, Nayan Chinasi!"

I hurriedly returned the salute.

The marshal said: "You are behaving well, you can go and rest." ”

After thanking the marshal, I asked James to help me bandage. James shook his head while bandaging and said, "Miserable......"

At this time, Nayan Wulusamai's attack was unfavorable and he retreated with a team. The Mamluk troops followed.

Nayan Boyura looked at it and said, "Uyusamai, you stand down, and I will command!"

, a neat queue of people and horses with flags fluttering appeared in front of them. From afar, I saw the flag of the Sultan of Hakim fluttering with the rising sun.

But by this time, the former army of Salander had been disorganized, the morale of the Kugit army was high, and the two armies began a brutal strangulation.

Nayan Boura knew that the Mamluks were all forcibly recruited by the Sultan of Hakim, and that they were loyal to the dinar rather than to the Sultan. He ordered his soldiers to shout in front of the battle: "Your life is your own, don't die for Hakim!"

Marshal Nayan Boryra was like a scheming steppe wolf king, and he arranged his army to attack on three sides, leaving a way for Salander's army to retreat. He stands on the high ground of the steppe, facing the rising sun, directing his wolves to hunt for their prey.
