Chapter 074: Manid
A few hours later, when the last rays of the setting sun sank into the sea, Kai and his party came to a guard tower north of the Yu River that had been abandoned by the Vigias, and a Vigia patrol had recently passed through the place......
"Instructor Kai...... Are you really going to work hard for us??'s not worth risking your life?" asked again after a break, still a little surprised by Kay's decision. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Don't worry, I'll take this commission, it's nothing more than three points. First, you and I are friends, and I can't disappoint you, the heir to Ragnar's heart. Second, at present, Chanda's combat power is lacking, and most newcomers don't have the ability to complete this commission, so I'm here. Third, and most importantly...... The two brothers and sisters awakened the passion I had for the battlefield twenty years ago, and he volunteered to accept this anonymous commission, and all I could do was come with him. ”
Kai's answer surprised the two of them a little, and Josim asked with a little vigilance, "Heir to King Ragnar...... Why?"
"Of course it's identity, in short, you and I know it, so I won't break it. Kay only laughed at Joshim's question, but immediately became serious and said to Joshim, "Your Highness...... If it's inconvenient, I'll call you Joshim, the current war in the North Continent is nothing more than a pool of muddy waters, if other countries keep ignoring it, if the southern Rui Erdian takes advantage of the situation, what do you think they will do first? Your tactical cultivation must not be low, analyze it?"
"King Harauth is scheming...... I can't analyze the situation with his eyes, it stands to reason that once Haraus fishes in troubled waters, the thousands of heavily armored knights in Drehem will break through all the plain strongholds east of the Yu River in a week, so they will annihilate the Vigian expeditionary force first...... Then ...... "While trying to analyze the tactics of the Ryordians, he suddenly thought of something and stopped.
"We in the Nord Kingdom do not have any political cooperation with Ryrdian, and our presence is undoubtedly a threat to them...... I fear that they will continue to destroy the vigians, and march on the eastern plains in two separate directions to defeat the Vigias, and at the same time send cavalry to cross the river and camp for the support of the follow-up troops, and crush the king's camp on the west side of the river, and take the city of Sagoth by the way......"
"You are indeed an insightful young man......" Kay couldn't help but praise Joshim for his speculation about the intentions of the Ryordians, but he smiled and corrected a few points: "There are three things that are not realistic in such assumptions...... The most important first point is that it is now late October, the southwest plain of Vigia and the banks of the Yu River are in the rainy season, the heavy cavalry may not be able to rush through the Vigia marksman line, and the skilled Vigia defenders are also difficult to parry, the recent Riva Cheze Maligabouye has thousands of heavy cavalry, if the battle is full force, the morale of the Ryordian people will be damaged, and there will be a steady stream of Nord's elite infantry crossing the river to participate in the battle, Haraus will not fail to consider this...... So the raid of the heavily armored knights can be ruled out. ”
"What about the other two?" asked the two young men together.
"The kingdom of Ryordian is very powerful, but the tip of their sword is pointed at the Rhodoks in the southwest, the current situation seems to be the first fortified city on the mainland, the mainland heavy soldiers hoarded by the mainland's heavy soldiers, which directly affects the royal capital of Raldian, Paraven, and the current neutral beautiful city of Aaron, the ruler of Count Traggus and King Graves of Rhodok are close friends, as long as Graves has a letter, the defenders in Aaron City will also march east to contain Suno, and the resource land of Uxhall in the east is even more eyed by the rangers of the Kujits...... Finally, don't forget, the bandit gang west of the Pollack River, their new leader seems to have personal dealings with the Virgians, the mighty bandit army will cause a lot of psychological pressure on the Ryordians, and it must be difficult to advance east into Virgian, the only possible stronghold is the city of Drehem, do you still think that Haraus will divide the thousands of soldiers in that area into two ways?"
Josim suddenly came to his senses and said excitedly: "The Ryordians will not pursue, they will take this area for themselves, and after they have reaped the profits, they will act as intermediaries to persuade the two armies to retreat, then we will not be able to take anything back......!" This old guy is really insidious!"
Kai smiled and nodded, "So we need to hurry up and get the war over...... Capture Javier and trade him for lost ground, and if Yaroglke agrees, the war is almost over...... You just need to persuade King Ragnar to put aside his selfish desires and think about the overall situation, so as to prevent the already chaotic continent from becoming even more chaotic. ”
"I see, this mission is all up to you, Instructor Kai, and more than a dozen of my elite guards are camped by the river a few miles north of here, and when the time comes, they will attack the camp together. Joshim stood up and took Kai's hands.
"Don't rely too much on me...... Falcon is old after all, and Fei is the one you should trust. Kai said with a smile as he turned around and looked at the night view in the distance.
Joshim sighed and asked, "Fei, ...... you?"
"I'm just his student...... But the instructor taught me his skills without reservation, and in order to hone these skills, I went out to practice for several years, and only recently returned to Zenda, but in fact I came back to my exaggerated death sister...... It's a pity that she left. ”
Fei took out a gold necklace from the watch pocket on her costume and dragged a golden clock underneath......
"She's always been reckless and often can't figure out the time, so I brought back a linked list from Gronia, but now it seems like I'll have to ask the instructor to give it to her next time...... Is that okay, instructor?"
"Haha, no problem! Shaw is the hope of the whole Zen now, although she doesn't know that she has a brother like you, so I'll give her the linked list in my own name?" Kai laughed.
Josim was a little surprised, and said incredulously, "Shoey is your sister, so your name is Philip August? If I'm not mistaken, you served in the royal guard camp in Sagoth, and then you secretly escaped from the army during a training camp, and your name was recorded on the list of deserters." ”
"yes, that's why I know you so well, three years ago, when you were the head of the royal guard...... I didn't expect you to pay attention to someone from a civilian background. He laughs.
"You have always been the best soldier in the squad you belong to, no one in the thousand guards at that time could reach your level, I thought about promoting you, but you left the barracks, it is indeed a pity......"
Kai pointed his spear horizontally and pointed at the light of a few torches in the distance, it was a patrol of more than twenty people, a group of Virginia's hoplites rode towards the outpost, and several riders with bows and arrows drew their bows and aimed at the top of the watchtower, apparently finding the traces of the three men.
The night breeze blew Kai's long hair, and he brushed the hair that blocked his view to the sides, and his eyes locked on one of the heavy horsemen in the patrol like a falcon, and said to Faye and Joshim: "Heaven is not what the people want, we should not have fought here, but now, we can only kill them, Fey! Joshim!
Josim drew his sword from the scabbard at his waist and removed a sharp hatchet from the buckle at the back of his waist, wielding his two-handed weapon in battle.
Fei took out a metal short stick from his waist, the same as Kai's three-section stick, and after pulling a certain mechanism, it stretched to a metal long stick that was more than six feet long, and at this time, Kai in front of him smiled and took out another gray-red thorn blade from his body, and instructed.
"If you really get this ancient artifact back from that guy in Gronia, then take this bayonet and complete the pulsating shock spear 'Punishment', and hopefully you'll have enough power to push it. ”
Taking the forged steel bayonet, he looked at the two-headed hound ornament on the gauntlet, Fei nodded silently, and quickly assembled it, completing another pulsating shock spear that was not much different from Kai's war spear.
After that, the tip of the spear exuded a chilling murderous aura, as if it was about to kill all the enemies around it, and as Faye swung the spear and walked to Kai's side, Josim stared at the backs of the two men, feeling that as long as they were there, the battle would be over in just a few minutes.
"Dabaran's Prehistoric Technology...... That's the true face of the two pulse spears, and it seems that I don't need to shoot anymore. ”
He put away his short axe and slid down the wooden ladder on the side to the ground, and the patrol leader in heraldic armor who was targeted by Kai on the opposite side ordered the arrows to be released, and several riders released their bowstrings at the same time, and about a dozen arrows flew towards the top and bottom of the watchtower......
Someone was knocked down by a heavy impact, and then there was a crisp sound of a sharp blade piercing the armor through the flesh, and the horses were inexplicably startled and stopped, and the riders of Vegia looked back in surprise, and the captain of the cavalry in heraldic armor had been knocked off his horse by Kai Fei's knee, and the tip of the spear had pierced his heart.
Just as Joshim sighed how swift Kai was, there was a sound of a strong blow from the hilt of the gun, and Fei swirled his spear and knocked down all the horses, several cavalrymen were unable to get up due to the fall of their horses and the weight of their armor, and after a sudden stop in the crowd, Fei jumped up on the spot and stabbed each of the cavalrymen who stood up in the turn, and the moment he fell back to the ground, a dozen cavalrymen beside him had fallen, and the scales on each of their chests were pierced, and blood flowed all over the ground.
"They...... These two people give me the feeling ...... As if a samurai is a hundred, it seems that we are bound to win this camp robbery. Josimton, who was already shocked by the strength of the two, put away his weapon and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
With the collapse of the patrol, the road under the night sky was unusually quiet, the night wind blew Kai's long hair and coat, and the hem of Fei's windbreaker also fluttered with the wind, the two of them rotated the guns in their hands, and after a while, they shook the ground with the tail of the gun, standing in the moonlight against the night wind.
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...... (To be continued.) )
