Chapter 369: Goodbye
What is there to be romantic about being trampled into flesh by horses' hooves!But Stannis didn't bother to fight with his fiancΓ©e, he didn't want to die yet, and quickly turned his brain to see what else could save him. But this time he can really say that there is nothing he can do, unless a miracle can really happen, he has predicted that the bright tip of the gun on the opposite side will poke him into a skewer in the next second.
And Antonio on the horse also recognized Stannis on the horse, "Haha, as long as I take off the head of the dragon macer, I can become the duke's most important henchman, kill!"
With that, he pointed the tip of his gun at Stannis's head, looking determined to get the trophy.
However, just as Stannis was about to close his eyes and die, suddenly a meteor crossed the night sky, and a javelin whistled quickly above his head, and before he could see what was happening, the head of the cavalry captain in front of him disappeared.
The moment the tip of the javelin pierced his head, Antonio's helmeted head exploded like a ripe tomato, and the fresh brain burst into Stannis's face.
After losing the control of his master, Antonio's horse came to a slow stop, and then it began to eat the weeds on the ground.
The loss of the leader caused the rest of the cavalry to be in a mess, the people in front wanted to stop and know who was ambushing them, and the people behind hit it like cannonballs, and soon they lost the most important discipline of the wall cavalry charge without unified command, and occasionally a few guys who wanted to come out to grab credit were easily cut off by Stannis and dismounted.
But who saved them!
"Whoosh"!
Countless pike-like javelins flew out of the night and plunged into the Iron Cavalry soldiers' bodies with unmistakable accuracy, and soon the screams were overwhelmed, and Garcia's soldiers in the center still did not know who ambushed them again.
Finally the ambushers emerged from the darkness, they were also cavalrymen, but the horses were not equipped with vests and the riders were only equipped with light half-body armor, although they were armed with spears, but they did not charge, and each cavalry had a cloth bag on their horses, which was filled with sharp javelins.
Javelin cavalry, Stannis did not expect that in this era full of fantasy, there was still such a unique class of troops in the classical era, but the heads of these javelins seem to have been specially made, and they can penetrate the armor of heavy cavalry with a single blow, which is a flexible and mobile pursuit class in skirmishes.
Under several rounds of javelin volleys, the Iron Cavalry suffered heavy losses, not only losing the direction of the attack, but also not even organizing the retreat, and they were soon divided and surrounded and eliminated.
Everyone including Stannis was speechless in shock as they watched the group of rescuers appear inexplicably, but when one of the javelinmen stopped in front of them and dismounted, they recognized the Condor badge on the knight's armor.
They are the people of the Empire!
At this moment, the cavalryman took off his helmet, and his long flowing hair and sweet smile appeared from underneath, it turned out to be Sharachi, who should have left a long time ago!
"Good day, Count Stonis, we're late!"
"Charachi, why are you here!" Stannis shouted in surprise, he thought that the Empire had completely given up on him, but he did not expect that she would save himself from danger at this most critical moment.
The Imperial Colonel on the other side smiled at him, and then walked past him and hugged Robert behind him, "I said we would meet again, Sir Stennis Nis!"
Faced with a big beautiful woman throwing himself into his arms, Robert was about to faint happily, he raised his head with difficulty and asked Stannis, "Boss, who is this lady, introduce me!"
After a few days of not seeing, Charaki looked even more confused, but Stanis, who was used to it, reluctantly took off Robert who was glued to Charaki and threw it away, then looked at the female colonel carefully and said: "Characi, you recognize the wrong person again, I am Stanis." β
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I haven't seen you for a week and I've forgotten what you look like!" said Charaki, patting his head and apologetically.
"By the way, why did you come here, didn't you leave with your uncle?"
Charaki covered his mouth and smirked, "Our acting skills are not bad, although my uncle did bring back most of the people of the empire stationed here, but he still left my people and the intelligence network he has woven over the years to assist you." β
"I knew Uncle Bernard wouldn't abandon me......" Stannis was moved to tears, if it weren't for the special envoy Sean Bernard's hand, he would have been made dumplings this time.
"That's right, he asked me to lead more than 700 men to pretend to be the last group of troops to retreat slowly to the south, and if you have any conditions, come to your aid immediately, this time I brought in 300 cavalry, and then ambushed people at the mouth of the north and south valleys to ensure that no Garcia can leave here alive. β
I can't see that Characi is usually stupid, but he is still not confused at all in major matters, and it is true that if the Duke knows what is going on here, the consequences will be extremely serious, because once the information is leaked, it has already shown that the Empire has chosen to side with Stannis.
"But why! I'm not going to win compared to Garcia, and my uncle mentioned that he wouldn't put chips on me, so why did he secretly send you to help me?"
This complex political issue was obviously beyond Characi's comprehension, but she nevertheless provided an important piece of information: "Uncle only let me go to support you after getting a piece of information." β
"Well, what intelligence is so important?" Stannis said intrigued.
"Let me think about what?" the girl thought hard, and suddenly she raised her finger and shouted excitedly: "By the way, it is a tip-off from the person who was planted by the uncle next to the Duke of Garcia, because His Royal Highness the Duke said that he would kill all the people who attended his daughter's wedding, and also said that he did not mind Sophia's life and death, causing his eldest son Hunian to fall out with him!"
Sophia behind her almost fainted when she heard the bad news, "What, brother and father?
"I don't know, I heard that Hunian broke into the Duke's study and no one has seen him come out, although the Garcia family has released the words to put Hunian under house arrest to calm him down, but our informant revealed that he may have suffered an accident, and at the same time, Duke Garcia has officially appointed Pedro as the prince and sent his other children to a remote fiefdom. β
"Is Garcia's brain funny?" Robert didn't expect that Duke Garcia, who had always been known for his wisdom, would take the initiative to cause his people to betray his relatives like crazy.
