Chapter 003: Fighting

What?" The answer was simply unexpected, and in an instant tears crept up my face, and a wave of anger rushed up, "You brute, why do you !!!!" I punched him in the face, and immediately blood flowed for a long time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Phew," Gonder spat out a mouthful of blood and a rotten tooth, and grinned, "for the great King Harlaus!"

I was even more amazed, instantly forgetting about my father's death, and I realized that it was a huge conspiracy," Haraus... What is your relationship with the king?!"

"I won't tell you, King, I'll get out soon, haha... You little kid can't help me!" Gonder rolled over and fell asleep again.

"I knew I couldn't ask anything, so I had to get out of this prison."

......

As Gonder said, King Harauth sent a letter to the Count five days later, denouncing him for taking the lords of another country without authorization, affecting the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and demanding that he be immediately released back to the Kingdom of Vecchia. The earl was confused, so he had to put it back. And only I know what's going on

"It's really strange that you say that this king finally caught a lord, and everyone wanted some ransom, and let him go. Eh, what do you think about him, it's not Alzheimer's, it's more than fifty or sixty......"

"Don't talk nonsense, there are people who like to make small reports now, and when the time comes, you won't be able to eat and walk around. ā€

I heard the conversation between these two men when I was dividing the salaries, and I had to laugh bitterly.

"What's the matter, brother, sad face. "It turned out to be Bob.

"Remember the Gonder that our cavalry team captured?"

"The one who robbed your wife? Of course I remember, I was let go by Harlaus. ā€

"I know why. ā€

"Oh, yes, you can talk to me about it. ā€œ

"You have to swear not to tell anyone, including Thomson. ā€

"What's mysterious about it? Well, I swear, you're such a weird guy. ā€

He had a personal relationship with Harlaus, and I suspect that Harlaus's usurpation had something to do with him. I said solemnly.

"What? Are you sure? That's no joke. Bob instantly became as serious as I was, and the old gag disappeared without a trace.

"Yes, I heard it from his own ears. But what puzzled me was that he, along with Harlaus, killed my father. ā€

"For rulers, they kill those who stand in their way. Did your dad ever oppose their rule?"

"No, I'm sure of that. I shook my head.

"Strange, why did they kill your dad..."Bob lowered his head, cupped his cheeks, and pondered.

I was speechless, and silently thought about the cause of my father's death.

After about five minutes of this, Bob suddenly looked up, as if it had dawned on him.

"What's wrong?" I looked at him strangely.

"Remember that sword?"

"Sword?"

"The sword forged by your ancestors. ā€

Oh... Is there any connection between that?"

"According to my reasoning, you definitely have more than just a simple identity as a blacksmith. Everything is hidden. Bob said slowly, "This sword most likely fell into the hands of Harlaus. ā€

"There's no doubt about it, it's all about why they killed my father. I wondered.

"You don't understand what I mean... Well, how can you say that? Your ancestors forged this sword, and this sword is a symbol of imperial power. Right?" "Hmm. "And your family has more or less something to do with this sword. If it were just a blacksmith family, then there would be no need for Haraus to kill your father, there would be no need. ā€

"And then?"

"Then there's only one reason. Your ancestors may have the royal blood of Kalade. ā€

"Ahh

"Then everything will fall into place. Your ancestors were royals of Kalade, and you know how to forge swords. When Harauth usurped the throne, Gond was an accomplice and obtained the sword, and killed all the people who were with the royal family of Karad, but your ancestors escaped and settled in the village of Elindaha. When Haraus examined the corpses, he found that not all of your people were dead, so he ordered a trace. You were captured as a soldier, you escaped, and you did great things and made great contributions. When you were in the army, your father was found out and died. I guess it won't be long before you, but the king can't do it, so it's okay for the time being. Of course this is just speculation"

I broke out in a cold sweat as I admired Bob's reasoning skills. King Haraus, no, the usurper Harauth stopped the attack on Vekia, the marshal was very dissatisfied with this, and went to Harlaus's fiefdom of Paravon to argue, but was scolded by Haraus and put in a prison that did not see the light of day, and removed his position as marshal, and at the same time took back the seal, becoming the new "marshal" of the Swadia kingdom , claiming that if anyone dares to oppose him, he will end up with the same fate as the marshal, and at the same time behead the marshal to show the public, many lords dare not speak out, but they complain a lot in private, including the Earl of Harringers, who has always been loyal to Harlaus.

We left the eastern snowfield a month later, and Thomson, who had been complaining about the cold climate of the snowfield, was hurrying to pack his belongings in the tent. But Bob and I were the only ones who felt the weight, after all, we were the only ones who knew the reason for the withdrawal, and the resentment in my heart against the usurper Haraus deepened.

On the way back, Count Harengus received a letter from Harlaus, asking us to attack the Nord kingdom on the North Sea at once, without mistake. The whole army was full of complaints, everyone had fought for so long, and everyone knew how fierce the Nords were. Bob and I were silent, and when we heard the news, we turned our horses and headed for the distant North Sea. weeks later

Soon after Bob and I were made deputy captains of cavalry and infantry by Harengus, the army joined up with the marshal's army under Fort Elbuk, where we were cutting down trees in the woods not far to the north, making ladders, siege towers, and various siege equipment in preparation for the siege in five days.

Early this morning, my cavalry and Bob's infantry came into the forest with axes. I stretched, found a tree of the right thickness, and chopped it with my axe, and the sawdust flew into my mouth piece by piece, and I spat and cursed.

"Hey, boy, haven't cut down a tree?" Bob looked at me with a wicked smile.

"I've planted land, I've beaten iron, I've carried grain, but I've never cut down a tree!"

"But Lao Tzu has chopped it, in order to make my wooden weapons, sticks, axes, swords, shields, ......" Bob stopped what he was doing and said to me.

"Come on, I'm not as good as you, okay. By the way, you teach me, I can't move. I put the axe on the ground, wiped my sweat, and said helplessly.

"Ha, you kid, let me teach you. Bob laughed, put down his axe, and walked over to me.

"Hold it loose, don't be too tight, it will save you effort when you swing it, right. Move your wrist, don't wave your arm too much, okay. Try it yourself. Bob gave me some pointers and let me try it myself.

I tried to cut like he did, and found that it was much easier and much faster. One morning, Bob and I worked together to cut down 8 trees and were sent to the siege camp. After some preparation, towering siege towers and trebuchets stood in front of Fort Derberg. There's some wood in there that I cut down. Thinking like this, looking at the panic on the faces of the guards standing guard at the head of the city, I felt an inexplicable excitement and fear in my heart.

"Woo woo~~~~~~~"

Realizing that the siege was about to begin, I mounted my hunting horse and came to the ** ground with the sound of tapping.

"Soldiers, today is the day when we drive out the Nord dogs!!For the glory and tranquility of the Kingdom of Svadia, prepare to attack the city!!"

"Yes!" I shouted with 5,000 soldiers, and my blood boiled.

Several trebuchet operators hurried to the back of the camp and quickly took their positions.

"Pull the winch!" the starter waved the small blue flag, the operator quickly pulled the winch, the bowl on the trebuchet slowly approached the ground, at the same time, Nord's archers began to shoot at the head of the city, the "whoosh" sound of breaking the air did not stop, the moment everyone quickly raised their shields, the rain of arrows densely nailed to the ground, the sound of "tom" mixed with the screams of several people, it was some people who did not have time to raise their shields or did not have shields, such as crossbowmen and operators......

"Launch!!" The small red flag waved, the operator released the winch, several boulders with flames flew towards the city, two hit the city, a few pig-killing howls were heard in the distance, several Nord soldiers had been smashed into meatloaf, the flames on the boulder spread rapidly, the people around them hurriedly dodged, and in the pushing, a soldier fell to the ground, and suddenly the flames rushed to his body, and the man screamed while rolling, but unfortunately no one paid attention to him.

I was laughing secretly when a few of our soldiers had already carried the ladder and ran towards the city. The archers had stopped shooting due to the attack just now, and now was the perfect time to ascend the city.

Bob trotted me into the Black Rumbling Siege Tower, and I asked to hide at the bottom, and Bob laughed at me for shrinking my head as a tortoise.

"One, two, three, !!", we pulled the winch inside the siege tower, and the wheels of the tower began to rotate slowly, followed by the advance of the tower.

Every time I move forward, my heart lifts a point. Afterwards Bob said that my face was "flushed red, like a little girl getting married." ā€

Gradually, I heard the roars of the Nords at the head of the city and the beating of their shields, and the sound of arrows hitting the water-drenched hard cowhide in front of the siege towers excited me, and I wanted to climb up to the top of the city for a bloody battle.

After a while, the sound of a sword stabbing into the body came from the city. Someone has landed in the city! I couldn't help but clench the sword in my hand, imagining the scene of the earth-shattering killing in the city.

"Bang!"

The planks of the siege tower were placed in the gap that had been smashed out of the city, and I quickly climbed the ladder to the top of the tower, and was instantly startled by the loud shouts of killing, many people had already rushed to the head of the city to slash and kill, and the crossbowmen were shooting under the city to cover it.

Raising my shield, I trotted up, and the arrows from the watchtower in the distance struck the shield, shooting out cracks, many of which had already penetrated the plank, staring at me coldly.

I gritted my teeth and kept going! After a race to the death, I came to the city. Blood was already pouring from the walls, corpses had fallen to the bottom of the city, piled up into hills, and several corpses that had collapsed in front of me were looking at me with empty eyes. I shook my head, distracted, and joined the fight.

A fierce man slashed with an axe and immediately chopped off my scarred shield. This time I had encountered the regular Nord army, far stronger than the motley army we had encountered in the woods and in the sneak attack. All of them have long beards, are tall, covered with muscles under chain mail, and are extremely skilled in throwing weapons and one-handed axes, and are extremely capable of fighting alone, and it is impossible to fight hard. The others nearby were fighting in a hot fight, and no one was paying attention to me, so I could concentrate on the enemy in front of me. I stared into my opponent's eyes, and they looked at me with ocean-blue eyes.

This big man was 30 seconds later, and there was a sudden murderous intent in his eyes, and I immediately subconsciously put the sword in front of my head, and happened to hit his sharp axe. Well!, if I had misjudged, I would have been in a different place.

The big man suddenly became interested, threw away the shield and one-handed axe, and pulled a two-handed axe from his back.

The guy licked the axe, and it was immediately a thunderbolt, and I slashed with my sword to cut through the attack. He was even more excited, and immediately there was a stormy combo, and I swiped left and right, and his attacks missed one by one. When I sliced his attack away again, I saw a hole in my left abdomen, and without thinking about it, I stabbed the ring in the chain mail and stabbed the skin.

I was overjoyed, but he was unaffected, and with a slash, I crouched down, and with a clatter, my peaked helmet flew away and struck a Nord recruit on the head, and the man fainted after a terrible howl.

I cursed and had to switch to a defensive stance. The people around me had already dealt with our soldiers and slowly turned towards me, but I had no support, because our soldiers were standing far away from me, their legs trembling, and Bob didn't know where to run.

Looking at the fierce Nords around me, I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and cold sweat broke out in my palms. I confessed this conclusion, which seemed incomparably correct at the time.

But I'm still alive after all.

"Bang bang" When I was in a stalemate with the enemy, several steel crossbow arrows were inserted into the heads of these people, and after 3 seconds, the only person besieging me was the big man, and while he was in a daze, I pierced his heart with a sword, and twisted it hard, and suddenly blood gushed like a spring, and my eyes were blurred. The big man screamed, I wiped my eyes, he was already on his knees, the blood was spreading wantonly, I pulled out my long sword, and a warm fountain spewed out.
