Chapter 65: The Defeat of a Lord

Aaron, and the surrounding area, the forces gathered by Lord Kesto were neither high nor low, not as elite as the forces of King Grievos, who had fought a great battle near Djerkhara, but relying on the mountainous terrain and the determination to stand up to the invaders. This force of Lord Kestow is not easy to deal with either. Moreover, the Rhodok kingdom was not firmly established in a short period of time, and Wall could not regain enough troops, and his descendants would lose one less if they killed one, and Wall hoped to win this war as much as possible at the lowest cost.

Walking from the west side of the Viruga net, across a long mountain range, Wall arrived at a small village under the mountain pass, this village is called Dumai, through Dumai's mountain pass, continue to the west, you can directly attack Aaron, when Wall advanced south from Marasburg to rob the Aaronic nobles, that is, at that time, Wall has formed an indissoluble bond with the nobles among Aaron, so when the situation on the continent has changed, Aaron's nobles poured out a large sum of money from their private wealth to raise a mercenary army, cobbled together an army with Rhodok's own army, and recruited their exiled propagandist, Lord Kesto.

Looking at the majestic rolling mountains, Walls felt a chill welling up in his heart. There was silence along the way, whether it was the civilians in the villages they passed by, or the caravans that traveled along the mountain paths. They avoided seeing Walls without saying a word, and the villagers closed their windows and gates tightly to keep their young and ignorant children from the sight of Walls' army. It seems that the people of the kingdom of Rhodok have feared Walls.

But Walls also knew that in the west, there was a group of people who were determined to fight Walls to the death.

"Your Majesty! I see that the terrain ahead is dangerous, and it is definitely an excellent place for ambushes, and if Aaron's group of rebels wants to strike an effective blow to our army, they will definitely arrange an ambush here, so I suggest that Your Majesty should arrange some scouts around here to reconnoitre. ”

Emilyada rode forward on one of his steeds, and unlike a dead land, the army of Walls was the only one in the kingdom of Rhodok that was highly moraled. Perhaps it was because the strength of Walls' army was so large that the land was lifeless.

Walls was just about to open his mouth to speak, only to see a figure gradually appear on a plateau in the north, he rode a fast horse, and soon all his figures were displayed in front of everyone, wearing a leather armor, which was the most exquisite leather armor, used to provide simple protection, the only advantage was that it was light, the fast horse he sat on was a fast horse that Walls specially provided to those heralds, their endurance was excellent and the speed was extremely fast, although it was said that it was also a good existence on the battlefield, Sometimes, however, intelligence is far more effective than the war horses used on the battlefield.

The man flew as fast as he could, and under his sturdy steed, the scout quickly ran in front of Walls. He dismounted, knelt on one knee and reported to Walls the information he had brought.

"Your Majesty! The rebels in the vicinity of Aaron have begun to attack Marasburg, and our defenders are extremely low in number, and if we do not rush to the rescue, Marasburg will soon be captured. ”

The scout brought such a piece of information, and Walls waved his hand to signal that it was a scout to go down and get some rest.

At this moment, Walls turned to Emilyada beside him and said: "Emilya, I already vaguely feel that in this mountain pass, there is a team of ambushes here, so I ask you to lead a part of the people to stay here, I know that as long as I have this part of the team here, then that team of ambushes will not evacuate." ”

Emilyada nodded, and he will follow the instructions I gave him.

Marasburg is an easy-to-defend castle, now Aaron's forces are too strong, and Marasburg's troops are very small, if this continues, Marasburg will definitely be captured, Walls only needs to take part of the troops to Marasburg secretly, and Emilyda chose to leave most of the troops here, and the ambush army lurking near the mountains will not leave. In this way, a part of the army of Lord Kesto was pinned.

The reason why Wall was able to see so quickly that there were ambushes left between the mountain passes was because Wall had never seen any signs of troops walking along the way, which also means that Lord Casto's troops had never left this mountainous area, and he honestly ambushed in this dangerous place, it stands to reason that Wall's army belongs to the elite division, and Lord Casto also knows that he can't have a hard fight with Wall.

Therefore, it was only natural that he chose to ambush this mountain pass, and Wall could not think of any good way to defeat Wall's army. Therefore, once the plan was issued, Walls and Emilyda split up in two routes, with some of their forces remaining near the mountains for the time being, while Walls himself led his own troops from Dumai and detoured north to Marasburg. Aid to the defenders of Marasburg.

Rozman is the leader of the mercenary army hired by Lord Kestow at a large price, Lozman has a mercenary army of more than 300 people, and with the more than 300 people personally recruited by Kestow, there are a total of 600 troops, and the army led by Wall this time is just over 600 people. Now that Wall's territory is in danger, the Rhodoks may raise the banner of restoration at any time, so most of the troops have been planted by Vors in various parts of the Rhodok Kingdom to stabilize law and order.

Lord Kesto's strategy was very simple, he ordered Rozman to lead his own mercenary group to the mountains near Dumai to ambush him, as soon as Walls's army entered the valley, Rozman would shoot arrows from the mountains, and Lord Caysto wanted to take the situation by surprise and take Walls by surprise. As long as you win the first battle, then it will motivate the other soldiers, and when the time comes, you will not have to fight to win the second and third battles.

Moreover, as you win more and more victories, you will gain the support of the people of Rhodok and become the de facto king of the Rhodok Kingdom.

Now he himself is personally commanding his army in a fierce assault on Marasburg. Marasburg is an easy castle to defend and difficult to attack, now there are only a hundred defenders on it, when Idenjarr led a large number of elite troops to attack Walls, Wall gathered most of his troops near Viruga, the east of Rhodok has been inhabited by many Nord soldiers, and in the west he is relatively weak. The more than 100 Nord soldiers in Marasburg were a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, but because of the dangerous land occupied by Marasburg, it was difficult to take the castle for a while.

It can be said that this time Lord Kesto is exhausted, and he does not have many troops left in Aaron's city at all, if there is a problem on Lozman's side, Walls can drive straight to capture Aaron, but as long as there is no mistake, it is the beginning of victory.

Today is the second day of the siege, on the first day, the lord of Kesto almost knocked down Marasburg, in order to regain the lost territory, those Rhodok soldiers are desperate enough, but the resistance of the Nord defenders is still stubborn, Walls is their spiritual support, after all, they will never dare to lose this castle before Walls arrives.

The next day, the weather was cloudy, and it was clear that a heavy rain was about to fall.

"That's not a good sign!" Lord Kesto said to himself, and the guards around him changed color when they heard this, and their faces turned white at once.

For some reason, Lord Kesto also had some weakness in the face of Walls, who was outside the kingdom of Rhodok, and she had long known the prestige of Walls. He really didn't want to confront Wall face to face if he had to, but she had already set up an ambush in the mountains, and it was impossible for Wall to come here. Let Lozman face it.

However, to Kesto's surprise, a flag appeared on the high ground in the distance, and the tall flag was painted with a white unicorn, and when he saw this flag, Kestow was already frightened, and a cold sweat broke out all over his body, and Walls actually appeared here.

No! Perhaps it was just one of his detachments, and he learned that Marasburg was under siege, so he sent a reinforcement to save Marasburg.

At this moment, most of the Rhodok soldiers were fighting fiercely with the Nord soldiers on the city wall, and the appearance of Walls' banner turned out to be a boost to the morale of the Nord soldiers on the city wall, and below the city wall, a group of Rhodok soldiers also stopped their movements, Lord Kesto had already issued an order, and one of his previous troops went to meet the army that rushed to the rescue of Marasburg. The leader was Joels, a knight who had belonged to the kingdom of Vegia, and at this moment he once again appeared on the battlefield wearing his armor like a hellish reaper, and the war horse rushed into the defensive line of Rhodok soldiers with him.

The Rhodok soldiers were panicked, for them, after all, he had not felt the oppression of such death. They were just a part of the soldiers who had not been on the battlefield, they were gathered by Lord Casto, and the soldiers who had not been on the battlefield were a little undecided in the face of Joles's strong momentum.

A Rhodok soldier raised his broadsword in a daze, and aimed the tip of the broadsword at Joels, who was rushing towards him, Joels almost didn't look at it, and the heavy cavalry gun in his hand passed through his chest, and the Rhodok soldiers behind him reacted at this time, and pointed the broadsword spear in their hands at Joels.

But for Joels, these things were nothing more than nothing, and he leaped on his horse, and in an instant he leaped with his horse, and at the same time the heavy cavalry spear was slowly lowered, and a miraculous scene happened, and Joels's horse carried her over the line of Rhodok soldiers, and at the same time Joels' lower rifle just passed through the chest of one of the Rhodok soldiers.

Joels hurried down the hillside, breaking through the line of Rhodok's soldiers, and now single-handedly slaughtered Lord Kesto.

The Rhodok soldiers stayed where they were, and they didn't react until groups of Nord soldiers appeared on the hillside. The commander of the army seemed to be at a loss, not knowing whether to lead his group of men down to meet the Nord soldiers coming down from the top of the hill, or to go back to save their commander.

In fact, there was no time for the commander of this team to continue to think, the Nord soldier's axe had already taken the lead, the commander brandished his saber in his hand, raised his shield against the Nord soldier's axe, and the other Rhodok soldiers did not have to obey the commander's command at all, their instinctive reaction would tell them how to save their own lives. As a result, the group of Rhodok soldiers no longer went to the rescue of their commander, but tried their best to fight against a group of Nord soldiers.

The Nord soldiers were condescending, with the help of throwing axes, they threw axes and rushed downward, while the Rhodok soldiers just raised their shields in place, their thick and strong shields provided them with sufficient defense, so these axes did not hurt them, but the next battle between the first melee warrior on the continent and the second melee warrior on the continent was about to start a battle.

The leader is the most outstanding royal guard Jack, Jack followed Walls to death, now he is holding a royal guard round shield in his left hand, and a Nord battle axe in his right hand, he is the first to rush up and engage the Rhodok soldiers, the dazed Roque soldiers were instantly cut off by Jack's head, but when the Rhodok soldiers reacted, a straight spear stabbed Jack's left arm, but Jack is also a battle-hardened person, and the shield in his left hand moves with the trend, When Rhodok's spear slammed into Jack's shield, Jack felt like he had been touched by a mosquito.

"Haha! You guys have so little strength and still come out to fight? ”

Jack's right hand exerted, and his Nord tomahawk slashed through the Rhodok soldier's spear, and the soldier looked at Jack in front of him with an incredulous look, his tall and burly figure had already shocked him, although the Rhodok was not inferior to the Nord. But in the next second, Jack's tomahawk severed the Rhodok soldier's head.

In this operation, Walls did not take the Swadia knights with him, this is a mountainous area, and he is not charging with the Swadia knights. After Jack's charge, Wall's close army followed, surrounded by dozens of Nord royal guards. It's all about keeping Walls safe. The battle ahead was already clear, and the Nord soldiers killed the Rhodok soldiers in front of them like a bamboo.

Believing that it would not be long before this line of defense would be breached, his eyes slowly looked down the hillside, only to see that below the hillside, Joels single-handedly rushed to Lord Kesto's position, Kesto watched the brave knight appear in front of him, and almost forgot to give an order for his soldiers to intercept this man.

Joels sat on a war horse that swept the battlefield like a wind, the tip of the heavy cavalry spear was still dripping with blood, how sharp and cruel this spear was, the battlefield never paid attention to mercy, like a storm, Joels appeared in front of Lord Kesto, but fortunately, Lord Kesto also had a strong guard by his side.

The tip of the spear was almost clear to Lord Kesto, and if it weren't for the help of one of the guards, perhaps the tip of the heavy cavalry would have pierced her head at this moment. The man who shot was a big man with a burly build, and like Joels, he rode a group of heavy warhorses, and he was a loyal escort to Lord Kesto. He used to wander with Lord Kesto, and his name was Glenbull.

"Your Majesty! You get out of here first, and I'll cut it off! ”

Glenbull used his long knife to pick off Joels' heavy cavalry, forcing Joles to shift one position and stagger away from Lord Kesto. After hearing Glenbull's words, Lord Kesto quickly turned his horse's head, and without even giving the order to retreat, he left with a few guards around him.

Joels didn't want to see his easy prey disappear like this, he kicked the belly of his war horse, let his war horse chase forward, Glenbull saw this, his long knife was not to be outdone and swung at Joels, the heavy cavalry spear is not good at close combat, Joels immediately threw down the heavy cavalry spear in his hand, the knight's sword on his waist was suddenly pulled out, and the two-handed sword was used as a two-handed sword. The two of them faced each other on the battlefield like this.

While the two men were fighting, the Rhodok soldiers on the hillside had already been routed, and the Rhodok soldiers had already begun their flight, and the part of the Rhodok soldiers who were besieging the city had also withdrawn from the city walls and fled with their lord Casto. Jack and the other generals rode down, and the Nord soldiers rushed down the hill, and soon surrounded Glenbull.

Glenbull also knew that he was gone, and it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, so he shook the long knife in his hand at Joels for a few moves, and then patted his horse and wanted to leave, but since Joels had let Lord Kesto slip away, he would not let this Glennbull in front of him slip away. The two men chased after each other.

Glenbull looked at Joels, who was following closely behind him, and he didn't know what to do with it for a moment, because he knew that he was sure that he would defeat him head-to-head. In this case, he had to speed up his horse and try to get rid of Joels.

It seemed that the heavens were on Glenbull's side, and a dull trumpet sounded from behind him, the cry of Walls ordering his troops to retreat and concentrate. Halfway through the chase, Jols heard the sound of the horn, and he understood that it was Walls to warn him not to pursue the enemy any further. He reined in his horse's head, looked his deep eyes at the fleeing enemy in front of him, snorted coldly, and turned his horse's head and ran in the direction of Walls.

Glenbull secretly rejoiced that he had followed in the footsteps of Lord Kesto back to Aaron. Marasburg had been saved by Wall, and the soldiers on the city wall were very excited to see Wall's arrival, and Wall also spent a few hours comforting the soldiers who were defending the city for him.

Then he looked at Joels, who was returning from his horse. Joels was originally a knight of the Kingdom of Veggia, and he once fought a big battle with Walls, and at this moment his heroism on the battlefield has been fully seen by Walls.

"Your Majesty!"

Joels galloped past Walls, who immediately turned over and knelt down on one knee and said to Walls.

"I couldn't catch her up after the enemy general, and if you can blow the horn later, maybe I can get him back alive."

Joels said with some regret that this was a good opportunity for him to make meritorious contributions, since Walls raised the banner of rebellion, he had already decided to follow Walls, and his enemy was the Nord Kingdom and not Walls.

"There's no rush! We will continue to the south, but before that we need to go to Dumai and fight on both sides of Dumai's Emily, and the ambush above the pass will be broken by us, at which point I can muster all my forces against Lord Kesto. ”

"Everything is under His Majesty's command!"

After bidding farewell to the defenders on the walls of Marasburg, Walls also continued to march south, and Rozman, who was on the mountain, had noticed an army from behind him, he shook his head and looked left and right above the mountain, and finally when the white unicorn knight appeared in her field of vision, he realized that it was not a reinforcement sent by Lord Kesto, but an enemy army that had circled behind.

"Is this the army coming from Marasburg?" Rozman immediately realized that something was wrong, and he looked ahead again, and at the foot of the hill, Emilyda had already set up camp, and the soldiers were ready to attack, and they might attack when it was almost dark today.

Even if Rozman occupied the terrain of the mountains, without a steady stream of supplies from the rear, he would soon be defeated. Because looking at the army beneath the white unicorn banner, Rozman already knew that Lord Kestor had failed.
