In the ethereal night, two figures were attacking each other on the avenue between the woods. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It can be said that Cizer's tactics have been so successful so far that even the famous Sogrend is at a loss for him. But Sogrend doesn't care, he can use some risky play to force the opponent to show his flaws, but there is no need for that right now. The more seconds both sides spend here, the more chance they will have to wait for reinforcements from a large army. This can be said to be one of the necessary conditions for a military strategist -- patience and prudence.

Gradually, Sogrend could sense the eagerness of the other side, and Cezel's offensive began to become sharp, and he was not stupid - it would be beneficial for him to end the battle as soon as possible. However, the forced rapid attack brought two disadvantages to the attacker: first, the physical exertion would increase; Second, in order to increase the speed, the movements out of conditioned reflexes will become more numerous, and the movements will also become regular unconsciously. The latter point is fatal for Cizer, as he faces one of the best swordsmen on the continent.

After a series of flashes of combos, Sogre finally waited for the opportunity he had hoped for, and Cezel's sword was his use as a buffer, and his stamina showed a downward trend. Sogrend received "Tooth Moon" to his left hand side, waiting for Cizer's blade to reach its apex. "It's now!" He recited a sentence silently, and the "Tooth Moon" that was originally on the left side of his body drew a graceful half-moon shape under the explosive operation of his wrist.

"Oops!" Cizer sensed that he was in a bad situation, but it was too late.

With a crisp metal impact, Cizer's longsword was easily suppressed by the other party, and his middle door was wide open. Once again, the advantage of using Kataku's sword was on display, and Sogrend's empty left hand immediately delivered a solid left hook to Cezel's handsome face. Through the faint starlight, Sogrend could clearly see droplets of blood splattering from his opponent's nose.

Now, though, is not the time to feel sick. Sogrend took advantage of the victory to chase after him, first kicking the side of the opponent's calf bone with his right foot; Then he raised his hand and slammed the back of Cezel's hand with the hilt of his sword, and with a "dang bang", the other party was forced to let go of his long sword in pain. Twitching his chin and kicking his lower abdomen, Cizer took a few steps back weakly and squatted down with these few blows.

"It's over, Lord Bertrand." Thorgrande said as he crossed Cizer with his sword.

"Maybe." Cizer replied.

"Thorge, watch out!" China shouted.

Sogre clearly heard a "click", what seemed to be the sound of some mechanical device working, and he instinctively began to dodge. But a second later, I still felt a sharp stabbing pain in my right upper arm. Thorgrande looked at where the pain had come from, and a small iron arrow pierced his right arm. Cizer hid a short folding crossbow in his large robes, a weapon that many people loved.

Looking at the other party's rather smug face, Sogre immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, but he still calmly asked: "Your Excellency Bertrand, I wonder if my life is in danger?" ”

Cizer is of course not satisfied with such a reaction, and the person who regards himself as the protagonist in his heart is afraid that there are no more than the following two answers: one is annoyed and angry because of a small injury, and he is defeated by himself in the middle of an arrogant attack; The second is to show an expression of greed for life and fear of death, and ask for an antidote from himself.

"I'm not so vicious, don't worry, it's just some powerful paralyzing potions." Cezel slowed his expression, "Lord Leus, you can't use your right hand now, and you have no chance of stopping me." ”

"Maybe." Sogrend said with a smile.

Then, Cizer saw his opponent magically hand the sword in his left hand, drawing the same smooth arc of the "Tooth Moon" in the air.

"Your Excellency Bertrand, I only have about 1 minute to defeat you completely, so your Excellency will fight for your goal." As he said this, Thorgrande had no time to think about it.

"Skillful hands, this is impossible!" As Cizer let out such an exclamation in his heart, Thorgrand's harsh attack was sweeping towards him, as fierce and aggressive as a tornado on the summer plains. Even if the attack was changed to a left hand that he didn't use too much, Cizer was still no match. Within 10 seconds, Cizer had no way to retreat, and the crossbows hidden in both arms had been slashed by his opponent. After 20 seconds, he was completely unable to defend himself with his sword, and was stabbed in multiple places in his left leg. At 30 seconds, with Sogrede's 18th sword, Cezel's sword flew out again.

"How? "Saugrend asked in a deep voice.

He's going to kill me, he's going to kill me, Cizer struggled to suppress his fear in his heart. However, facing the tip of the sword pointed directly at his throat, he had no other choice.

"You won this time." Cizer bowed his head.

"Let's go," Thorgrande didn't seem to be affected by the anesthetic at all, "if you don't take off before dawn, I can't guarantee that Madame Singeld's dragon knight will leave the skies of Farensi alive with your mount." ”

"I understand, but I won't give up because of this, this time I lost to Your Excellency." Cizer limped away with his injured leg in his hands, and before leaving, he glanced at China affectionately, "Goodbye, my lovely little kitten, entrust you to this man for temporary safekeeping, I can rest assured that I am far away, hehe." ”

"I don't think it's good for us to see each other."

"What a heartless beauty." Cizer smiled bitterly and said that this time he had lost completely, even if he used a trick that was not above board. Completely disgraced in front of his sweetheart's eyes, although he could play despicable and shameless once, but he gave up. If he brings Qina back like this, he will never have the opportunity to get the other party's sincerity in his life. And the Prime Minister of Falunsi will not give up because of this, at that time, I am afraid that I will be handed over to Farensi by His Majesty Sigrani to calm the anger of the other party. However, this does not mean that he has given up, and in the future he will defeat him in the most prestigious field of this man in an upright way and reclaim his treasures.

Sogrend watched as he stepped onto his horse and disappeared from his sight. Then, slowly walking towards Chenna, the effects of the drug were already starting to affect his movements. After cutting the rope for Chenna, a strong sensation of dizziness hit his brain, and he fell to his knees, barely bracing his body with the "Tooth Moon".

"Thorge!"

Sogrend barely opened his eyes and glanced at Chenna, "Chenna, you are beautiful today. After speaking, he was about to fall, but was hurriedly supported by Qinna, "Now you can move freely, if that guy kills back the carbine, you can protect yourself, the sword is for you." ”

"Hey, don't sleep!" Although China shouted this, the irresponsible Prime Minister directly pillowed his head on her lap and fell unconscious.

China helplessly straightened the other's head to the sky, so that he could lie more comfortably, there was no sound around him, and the silence in the early morning made people feel very comfortable. Like all lovers, Ginna gently stroked Sogrend's handsome face and whispered unheard affection. In doing so, China tore off the skirt of her expensive evening dress and bandaged the wound on Sogrend's right arm. All she can do now is stop the bleeding.

However, this situation did not last long, and after about a quarter of an hour, Xiuyunston and the others discovered their captain.

"Legionnaire." Shoyunston tiptoed closer and shouted.

Cenna looked up to see several heralds leading their horses approaching, and she put her index finger to her lips and motioned for them to whisper. In fact, this is not necessary, if Sogrand can wake up, he will wake up long ago, and the effect of the drug will probably wear off after a while.

"Legionnaire, are you alright?" Xiu Yunston asked, "What is the matter, Prime Minister?" ”

"It's okay, he's just got some paralyzing medicine, you guys can take the arrow out for him."

"Okay."

Shuyunston and several hussars in his retinue immediately lit a fire and prepared to treat the wounds of the Prime Minister.

Fortunately, the wound was not deep, perhaps because Cizer relied more heavily on the paralyzing medicine on the arrows, so the actual physical lethality of the crossbow was very low. The hussars took out the arrows with ease, one might even say a little rough. Anyway, the prime minister was in a comatose state, and he didn't feel any pain at all.

In anticipation of injury, the teams had enough bandages, and now China was perfecting Sogrande's wounds.

"Legion Commander, then we will retire for the time being, we will rest not far from here, if you have any orders, call us." Xiuyunston was amused, preparing to leave.

Chyna was about to agree, when she was interrupted by the sound of horses' hooves—it was Haas.

"Xiuyunston, what are you still rubbing here, the First Legion has bitten our tails." Haas's voice was unquestionably loud and audible from afar.

Xiuyunston also wanted to signal the other party not to be too loud, but Qinna had already stood up from behind them, and then everyone heard a clear "plop". Xiuyunston's cold sweat suddenly fell, and China didn't seem to feel it yet, and called Haas over loudly to inquire about the situation.

Xiu Yunston immediately leaned down and lifted up the head of the Prime Minister, who was afraid that he had fallen from a coma into a coma, and called for someone to find a marching blanket and fold it for him.

"Captain Ingrid, please come over for a moment." Chinna's voice rang out.

Xiuyunston answered, abandoning the Prime Minister with infinite apologies, and turned to run to his legion.

Cena had already spread out the map on Haas's horseback and immediately laid it out for her subordinates.

Half an hour later, the regiments of the First Legion, which had been accompanying the hussars of the Thirteenth Legion, clearly noticed something unusual, and there were fewer and fewer opponents they could continue to track. The general is not a mediocre officer, and he senses the danger hidden under this anomaly. However, not all of his heralds made it to the various regimental commanders. Expecting such a difficulty, he sent out the herald while hurrying to the nearest 10th Regiment with his personal guards.

At a moment when the 1st Army was in a state of tension, the 32nd Division of the 13th Army Corps had been assembled under the command of Grripland, the result of months of painstaking training by Chenna—how quickly the cavalry group was transformed from a scout state to a combat state.

In later examples of the conduct of the Falencian cavalry, this tactic was called "snowballing". Because it was used to deal with sudden large-scale combat preparations, the commander could not fully convey orders to the various ranks, so he could only rely on the detachments that could be conveyed by the herald. Then these detachments absorb the neighboring detachments one by one, and then several main detachments will gradually expand like a snowball. Such an approach would improve the chances of survival of the scattered forces rather than a one-time assembly at a designated location, and would be tantamount to temporarily delegating command to the grassroots level, greatly increasing tactical flexibility.

With no orders to attack, the hussars of the 1st Legion, who were tracking, could only watch as they assembled, and by the time the commander decided to take the plunge to attack, they had already gathered to the point where they could not easily win.

"Sir, we don't seem to have much chance of winning the war now." Master Chief said.

“…… That's true, so let's join up with the rest of our neighbors as soon as possible. The supreme commander of the hussar squadron, the lieutenant squadron leader, replied awkwardly to his subordinates. If it were in the Third Army, it is estimated that the officers would simply say, let's run away.

The reacting squadron immediately disengaged from the opposing side, but there was also a commander who hesitated a little, the commander of the 7th Regiment and his three squadrons, who had just finished assembling and were already forced to engage the 32nd Division. The last herald also managed to get rid of the pursuers with all his might, and the news reached Baiohuo, who had already joined the 10th Regiment.

"Cut...... Damn woman, is this a disadvantage for us? Byeo gritted his teeth in anger.

"According to the report, the enemy has now assembled at least 3,000 men or more." The staff reminded.

"Haven't you made contact with the 1st Regiment yet?"

"Only got in touch with their fourth squadron, which is moving closer to us, and there is still about 1 fata."

"Are we going to rescue the 7th regiment? Lord Baiohuo. ”

"Damn it!" "All of you get on your horse, let's continue to move closer to the Legionnaire's main formation, Herald!" "The commander of the 1st Division sent heralds to all sides in order to minimize the unexpected losses this time.

"As the successor of Admiral Oiffi Santero in the future, Lord Baiohuo's performance is indeed remarkable." Gribland saw the scout report that followed, and commented on his class.

"And how are you doing as Admiral Lanfonte's successor, Lord Gribland?" Kreitt, who had stayed on the side as temporary chief of staff, answered.

"Hehe, I'm far behind, with my ability to get the status I have now, it can be said that it can be said that it is the favor of Hasus." Griblane smiled nonchalantly, "The future of the Thirteenth Legion is actually on you little devils, I have always been taken care of by excellent superiors in my life, and I am afraid that you will not have this blessing in the future." ”

"What do you say, don't we have Mademoiselle Lamfonte too?" Ispal chimed in when he came back from the front.

"Women always have to marry and have children." Groslin, who had returned with him, helped the chief answer the question.

Since everyone was preparing for the exercise, the spearheads of the spears used were removed and the heads were wrapped in coarse cloth stained with lime; Axes and swords were also replaced with short sticks wrapped in such coarse cloth. If you are stabbed or hit, you will leave a mark, and even if you "die" in the drill without following the rules, you can make a supplementary judgment after the drill is over.

After learning that the other friendly forces had withdrawn from the battlefield, the officers and men of the 7th Regiment, who had just fought with the hussars of the 13th Legion, were sitting dejectedly to the side resting and handling the wounded. Now they all looked like they had just come out of the flour heap, covered in white spots of various sizes. The non-commissioned officers on both sides counted the results of the battle together. Even if one death is calculated for every 2 critical parts hit, the three squadrons of the 1st Regiment probably killed more than 3 times on average; If we calculate the number of casualties that are incapacitated, the average number of serious injuries per person who are incapacitated is about the same number. On the other hand, the enemy had only one-third of their casualties, and if the 1st Regiment was less disciplined, perhaps the other side was actually only one-fifth or even less.

However, although the Thirteenth Legion won a complete victory this time, only internal rewards were given in the future, and a one-year gag order was issued for this operation. All those who were supposed to be on the list of "killed" in the exercise were all "resurrected" when the exercise officially began on the 15th.

Just as an unplanned exercise was quietly over, our Prime Minister also woke up leisurely from the lap of the beautiful woman.

"Are you awake, Thorge?" Chinna's smile caught his eye first.

"Well," Thorgrande agreed, but was interrupted by a burst of pain, "ouch, what's wrong with the swollen bag on the right side of my head?" As he spoke, he stroked the sore spot with his hand.

"Don't you remember?" China looked innocent.

"What's wrong?" Sogrend stood up with half of his head covered, "I seem to have fallen in your direction before the effects of the drug took effect. Didn't you hold me? ”

"There's still some distance between you and me, and I can't be as flexible as I usually do in this dress."

"That's true," Thorgrande said, looking at his right arm, "thank you for bandaging my wounds." ”

"It's nothing, it's just a tie with your last help." China remembered her days of courage, "If it wasn't for Thorge, maybe I wouldn't be in this world." ”

"Don't think about the unpleasant things, we were going to dance at the ball tonight, even though the ball should be over by now. But, dear Chinna, can you enjoy the light and dance with me, the venue is very spacious. With that, Thorgrande made a standard invitation to dance.

Cenna stood up and saluted, "It's an honor, Lord Leus." After speaking, he handed his hand to the other party.

"Me too, Miss Lanfonte." Sogrede kissed his hand, unusually reverent, "Actually, at the ball at the Partra Palace, I wanted to ask you to dance. ”

"Lack of courage leads to missed opportunities." China didn't know who she was talking about, maybe both.

Accompanied by the rising star Venus, and accompanied by the singing of the birds in the early morning, two figures on the plains of Haider danced to the approaching morning light.

――――Lazy dividing line――――

As it turned out, I was pretty fast without the harassment. Let's go back and tie the little straw man, don't write the wrong name, "De" is the "De" of Dezhi, and "Zhi" is the "Zhi" of Dezhi.
