Chapter 30: The First Battle of the Arashi Falcon

"It's so close to the camp gate?" Old Seton glared at the three Knights of the Knights of the Glory Knights standing in front of him with majestic eyes, "What about our scouts?

"I'm sorry, Lord Marshal," said a tall commander with a pretended calm, but forgot that Setton's apology, which he preferred for his most straightforward report.

Another commander of the same size saw that Seton's eyes were almost spewing flames, and hurriedly continued: "Marshal, because the number of enemies attacking is so small, that the sentinel battle only returns 'two passers-by, a man and a woman', and such reports are commonplace, and we have not been able to report to you before. ”

"A man and a woman, you fools, if you have read The Knights of Yaohui, you know that during the Dawn War, a man named Wright Light entered the city of Boyi, and then countless troops under his control rushed out of the shadows and destroyed the city! You must think that I was alarmist, or that the name of the Outspoken Evil Sword himself was too unknown! But I would like to know now what you are doing now, whether you tore the man and woman to pieces or send them here for interrogation! Seton's voice grew deeper and deeper, and the three commanders only felt sweat pouring down, and no one answered.

The tall commander took a deep breath and whispered, "The marshal's newly promoted baron Lan Falcon, ignoring our orders, led a hundred of his subordinate lightly armed knights to intercept him. ”

Seton glared at him for a few seconds and said, "What are your orders?"

"Your Excellency, our order is to report to you first and then take action. ”

"Okay, the three of you have been dismissed, report to the recruit with your luggage, and before that, gather all your subordinates for me, and then tell your adjutant to report here in ten minutes!" Seton slammed his fist on the table, no longer looking at the three men.

The three commanders were all overjoyed in their hearts: "Fortunately, it is not a capital crime of slacking off military intelligence, it seems that it must be the private actions of the Lan Falcon that please the old marshal." ”

Just as Seton relieved the three commanders from their duties at the command post of the Knights of Yaohui, a hundred lightly armed knights led by Arashihara had already surrounded the man and woman in a pincer shape.

"Report to the Baron, the man and the woman were hiding behind the little hill, and it was possible for us to retreat directly to the west if we surrounded them in this way, but their mounts, one white and one gray, were not under the control of their masters, and were walking and grazing the grass not far from them. ”

Arashi's lieutenant, a young man known as Mansacki Mastiff, rode his horse and followed the chief's side without hesitation. Today, Arashiko deliberately put up the feathers on the top of his helmet and put on a sky-blue baronial cloak to show his status as a commander, which was also his first military campaign as a member of the Knights of Yaohui.

"This pincer encirclement is only a transition, what I need is a real encirclement, so that our men on the westernmost side can observe those two enemies! ”

The Falcon could faintly see the small hill and the gray and white horses strolling around, which were definitely not precious breeds that could be seen in the country stables, which showed that the man and woman must be the nobles of a certain country.

This annoyed and disappointed Arashi, "It's not the small group of shadow creatures I was expecting—the army of the swamp orcs." So he ordered the troops to move slowly, in order to wait for his mentor Setton to come out and watch his command of the troops, so as to gain the marshal's approval.

His calculations were soon proven, and just as the sparse but orderly encirclement he had laid took shape, the main army of the Knights of the Glory Emblem himself stood behind him, and Marshal Seton was stationed on his horse to watch Arashi's movements.

"Lord Baron, the encirclement is complete. Send an emissary to communicate with them now?" Mansacchi asked Arashiko in a low voice.

"Mansachi, do you see, the other party's mounts are quite noble, I guess their identity is definitely not the villagers of Ilaghar or the idlers of the nearby farms who accidentally hit our alert range, let's show politeness before the other party shows hostility. ”

"You assign one of your men to the other side of the encirclement, so that you can see these two men from the opposite side, and tell them to be ready with bows and arrows at all times. Arashi gave the order and walked towards the hill.

Arashifala rode forward quietly, using his calves to control the fiery war horse "Emperor Steed". The "Emblem of the Sky Cover Empire" on his bright silver armor shone brightly in the sunlight, making the new commander even more heroic.

"Distinguished visitor, please come out from behind the hill, we have no intention of offending!" Lan Falcon's voice was hearty and loud, and the somewhat tired Yaohui knights felt refreshed.

It was a perfect encirclement, and although it was only composed of a hundred knights, these lightly armed knights had excellent mobility, and the enemy would never be able to break through the encirclement unless they were some magicians who manipulated the sea of fire or bewitched the mind, and now they were in an absolute advantage. Lan Falcon couldn't help but slightly curl up the corners of his mouth when he thought of this: "If these two uninvited guests don't know the height of the sky, I will immediately order an attack, and I can also let Marshal Seton and the army of the Knights of Yaohui watch the courage of this knight under my command." ”

But what he never expected was that not only did there be no response from the other side of the hill, but on the contrary, directly opposite him, on the west side of the encirclement, a row of Yaohui knights fell down one after another.

Lan Falcon's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw that one of the men and women had shot the subordinate knights on the opposite side of the encirclement with a bow and arrow, and the enemy had drawn his bow, set up his arrows, aimed, and pulled the bow so fast that in an instant, he had lost more than a dozen knights.

Lan Falcon was furious, pulled out the saber at his waist, raised it to his chest, and ordered loudly: "The Knights of Yaohui charge!" When the words fell, several more knights fell, and at this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in his ears, and the adjutant Mansacchi had returned.

"Baron, that woman is like a demon, and she shot down a row of our brothers in an instant!" Mansacki Mastiff's tone was full of grief and shock, and he really had an arrow in his hand that the female demon used.

It was a steel arrow that could be seen everywhere, but the arrow had three forks, which was quite a rare shape. The arrow was still dripping with the blood of a fallen knight, and it seemed that Mansacki had been plucked from the dead and brought to Arashi.

Thirty knights from the north and thirty from the south shouted, "Long live the Empire!" and the light knights, who were not armed with more vicious spears, drew their swords at their waists, and their horses rushed towards the hill with neat and deadly steps.

And Lan Hayabusa himself led a dozen knights on the west side to rush to the hill, and he ordered these knights around him to prepare bows and arrows, as long as the two enemies showed their heads, "string their heads together!"

There were constant screams from the masses of knights flanking from the north and south, and the sixty Knights of Yaohui who had not yet reached the vicinity of the hill had lost a third of them under the inexplicable three-pronged arrows, and the enemy never showed their heads.

Thinking of his dead brother (or more precisely, the great loss of his subordinates due to the defeat in front of his mentor and immediate superior, Seton), Arashihara felt only annoyed and angry, and quickly whipped his horse, and the emperor rode first, stepping on the hill like a thunderstorm, and the man and woman were under the hooves of his mount.

Just when he saw the white cloak of the man and woman in a trance, he suddenly felt his body lean back sharply, and the war horse emperor let out a wail, and the person stood up and fell backwards.

Fortunately, Lan Falcon is extraordinary, and in an instant, he threw off the reins, rolled to the side, and only avoided after gnawing a few weeds in his mouth. And the imperial steed rolled and stood up behind the small hill, and it seemed that he had not been shot by a bow and arrow.

Just as he wanted to straighten the helmet on his head, which symbolized the identity of the commander, he suddenly felt a darkness in front of him, and hurriedly leaned back again, dodging the deadly fierce shield impact that had just overturned his war horse alive.

The captain of the Athletic Captain of the Source Heart City had already unsheathed his sword, and at this moment, he immediately launched a counterattack under the anger of his master: Arashifala was holding the long sword and slashed at the wrist of the owner of the shield.

After a tooth-to-teeth sound of gold and fire, Lan Falcon only felt that his palms were numb, and the strength of the comer's hands was so extraordinary. But this wonder and admiration was quickly replaced by anger, and this time he stabbed his opponent in the heart with a sword, and whether the enemy was separated by a shield or resolved with a sword, he had the opportunity to kick him in the stomach, "I want to capture this thief alive!"

And the opponent's sword skills were really not as good as Lan Falcon, and he immediately returned a sword, but as a result, Lan Falcon's fierce kick in the abdomen staggered back a few steps. Lan Falcon immediately changed from absolute passive to relatively passive, which was completely based on his previous sword skills course, "If this continues, this kid will definitely lose!"

Only then did he have a chance to have a large number of opponents, a young man in white robes and silver armor, wearing a long white cloak, holding a pointed shield with intricate patterns in his left hand (Arashi immediately imprinted the pattern of those patterns on his mind), and in his right hand, like himself, he was holding a sword that glittered white in the sun.

It was a handsome, slightly childish face, and a pair of large, childish eyes were calmly looking at themselves.

And behind this white-robed young man, a girl in the same dress was holding a bow and arrows, looking at herself viciously.

Behind the girl, there was a pile of corpses with sharp arrows stuck in them. That is the brother who died by the arrows of this girl on the way to the charge of the Yaohui Knights, and it is even more shameful for Lan Falcon, less than half of the surviving knights are staring at this man and woman with blood-red eyes, like a pack of vicious wolves looking at the lions that bite their companions to death.

But farther away, the hill was surrounded by an army led by Seton himself, and the banner of the Knights of the Glory Medal fluttered in the spear bushes where the knights stood upright, hunting in the winds northeast of the Changmu Plain.
