Chapter Seventy-Five: Is It Under My Command?
As for whether Farvia will die in this battle, of course it is negative, after all, the quality of Wall's army is still not as good as Farvia's, so Alva of the Pearl Light has already thought about how to deal with Farvia's investigation afterwards.
At this moment, Walls led his army, this time he himself went into battle, riding a horse at his feet, the fastest horse allowed him to rush to the front, and suddenly the dust was flying, and above the desert horizon, a vague figure appeared. And with that came a strange glow. It was the light reflected by the blade.
Who is it?
The question arose in Wall's mind, in this place where the battlefield was supreme, and there was a person who appeared here alone to say hello, then he was either a survivor of this battle or a deserter.
A crowd quickly stopped the knight's tracks.
She had a weathered face, and Walls noticed that the man had thick calluses on his hands, suggesting that he often used the sword at his waist. The sword had no scabbard, and he hung straight outside. And there was a little blood on his body, so it could be said that he had just experienced a battle.
"Who are you? Are you a survivor of the Great War, do you belong to Farvia or to Hakim Sultan? ”
Walls asked, and the other soldiers followed closely behind Walls. All eyes were on the lone knight.
The knight opened his old mouth and spat out a few words faintly.
"I don't belong to anyone! I belong to myself! It belongs to this desert. ”
Walls didn't know the legends of the desert, and he thought that the knight in front of him was playing tricks. I couldn't help but have a look of anger on my face.
Seeing the change in Walls' expression, the knight simply ignored the situation. Although it can be clearly seen that Walls is the leader of the team in front of him, offending this leader will not do him any good, this knight is not a fool, he understands the truth, but he still silently closed his eyes.
"I still have something! Can young people get out of the way? ”
The knight said slowly, and the centaurs of Walls were already blocking his way.
"Leave your name!"
Walls thought twice about letting this person go, although she had an arrogant attitude, but the thick calluses on his hands fully showed that he was not an ordinary person.
"Danzi!"
The knight faintly spat out his name.
When Wall first heard the name, it sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it!
"Are you from the village of Black Bayi? There was a battle between Farvia and the ruler of the Salander Sultanate, Hakim Sultan, in the village of Black Bayi, can you tell me where the Hakim Sultan is now? ”
Wall asked patiently, the group of subordinates around him couldn't bear it anymore, the angry expression on his face became more and more as time went by, and a dark cloud shrouded Danzi's face, if Danzi didn't answer honestly, maybe the next second Walls's men would also tear Danzi to pieces.
Dare to be disrespectful to the people they respect, it is really not a long brain.
Danzi was completely indifferent to the changes happening around him, and for him, these people around him were not worth fearing at all.
"Sultan al-Hakim is ready to withdraw to Sharitz, and if you are going to see him, you will be able to see him by the way you came. I know you, you are an ally of the Sultan of Hakim, Walls. The one who calls himself the king of the kingdom of Kallad! ”
Danzi continued to say unfazed, and when he said that he called himself King Karad, this sentence seemed to be a little uninhibited.
Walls seemed to understand that the man in front of him was with Hakim Sultan.
Just as Walls was about to continue with the question, Polcha beside him was already yelling, "What do you mean by that? It seems that the king looks down on us! ”
It turned out that because Danzi's last sentence seemed to mock Walls, this made Porcha a little impatient with his temperament.
"Polcha, don't mention these little things, the most important thing is to find out the information first."
Walls shook his hand and motioned for all of his men to stand back, as they couldn't talk to Danzi about where the Sultan of Hakim was now.
After everyone had retreated, Walls turned to Danzi and continued.
"Are you an ally of Hakim Sultan?"
"According to you, it should be! But if it's what I'm saying, it's definitely not, I'm short on time or, I hope you can get out of the way. ”
Walls looked at Danqi in front of him a little strangely, and then he grabbed the reins of his war horse and made way for Danzi, and the soldiers behind him also left their war horses one after another, and soon a straight avenue appeared. Above the desert, a crowd surrounded a knight who could have been killed if Wall gave the order, most likely a spy. But Walls believed he wasn't a spy.
The knight rode along his horse at a rapid pace, and Wall soon saw one of Danzi's backs. At this time, I heard a passage wafting in the distance.
"Life is always hard!"
It seemed to be saying it to Walls, but it seemed to be saying it to all the soldiers in Walls. Walls couldn't understand what he was talking about. But it doesn't matter, Hakim Sultan has returned safely to Sharitz, thinking that his fight against Farvia is not a victory, and the pearl light Alva is trying to trick himself into fighting Farvia in order to consume Farvia's strength.
Turning his horse's head, Wall's army began to advance west again, and he was going to Sharitz.
On the other hand, Farvia also gathered her own troops, and this time she was not able to capture the Sultan of Hakim alive, but she was able to defeat the Sultan of Hakim again, which made him lose his strength, and the battle was still worthwhile.
Suddenly, a familiar figure in the distance galloped past on a black horse. Farvia had a strange expression, and the person immediately was the Gozette she was familiar with. What kind of intelligence will you bring this time?
Gozette sped to Farvia's side, jumped off his horse, and got down on one knee to report to Farvia about his reconnaissance.
"Marshal! I have scavenged some information that the exchange of fire between the Queen and Walls has ended after the retreat of Sultan Hakim, and that Walls is leading his forces south as if preparing to pounce on us. There was something strange about this, as if Alva the Pearl Light had deliberately let Walls go. ”
Falvia frowned when she heard this, and she sensed that things had developed to the point where he could not predict it, and Alva of the Pearl Light could have held off Walls with his strength, but they acted according to their own plans and deliberately let Walls go.
"Tell me! How far is Walls from us? ”
Falvia's gaze instantly became sharp, and Gozette could only lower his head. However, Farvia felt that things did not make the atmosphere tense.
"Walls has departed, and I have observed his tracks, and it seems that he is preparing to head west, apparently to return to Sharitz."
Hearing this, Farvia's brow suddenly softened. For the time being, he can't fight Walls, his command ability Falvia is understood, and he suffered a loss in the first fight. Although the quality of his soldiers was low, if he was given time to recuperate, the consequences would be dire.
But now, Walls is gone, and he has to integrate his internal forces to be able to deal with Hakim Sultan and Walls with all his might. It is best to divide Walls and Hakiemsdam at this time, the two of them cannibalize each other, and they can easily achieve their goal.
"Okay! I already know the information, now that the battlefield is sorted out, let's go back first, Queen Alva of the Pearl Light seems to have an opinion on my plan and let Walls go, but fortunately he returned to Shariz halfway, otherwise I would definitely encounter a fierce battle. ”
On the other hand, the Sultan of Hakim, who had run back to Shariz, was counting his remnants on the city walls. This time he was attacked by Farvia's army, and his Salan Mamluk also suffered some losses. This almost represents the Mamluks, the highest combat power of the Salander Sultanate, who can run rampant in the desert with a certain number of them. Farvia clearly had such numbers, but she, who was supposed to be the ruler of the Salander Sultanate, had only a portion of the Salander Mamluks left.
"Walls, where are our allies now? Why hasn't he come back yet? Could it be that he has been entangled by Alva, the pearl light? Or had he been defeated by Farvia? ”
Sultan Hakim beckoned, and around him were his intelligence staff, the generals and lords who had continued to prepare their armies. Each defeat left an indelible scar on the hearts of these generals and lords. This is also a reflection of their loyalty to the Sultan of Hakim, and repeated failures will only lead to the increasing number of Farvia.
The intelligence officer quickly stepped forward to tell Hakim Sultan what he had learned from the scouts ahead.
It's a crisp sound.
"Your Majesty! Walls' army is already coming this way, and Walls was going to rescue you, but they met Danzi halfway through, so they're now on their way back to Sharitz. Your Majesty, rest assured, we will soon join forces and fight a decisive battle with Farvia. ”
"A decisive battle?"
Hakim Sultan replied in a voice of disbelief, and he turned his head coldly, just in time to catch the familiar face. It was Francine, and as usual, he covered most of his face with a purple scarf.
Only the fresh and agile eyes were revealed, and Francine was still staring at the Sultan of Hakim. The Sultan was no longer as wise as he had been, and his long failures had caused him to lose his cool judgment.
"And a decisive battle with Farvia? I've failed enough, I'm hiding in the city of Shariz from now on, and I'm never going out again. Let Walls, the mighty god of war, fight Farvia. ”
His voice became extremely harsh and terrifying, and at the same time he uttered deep fear at the mention of Farvia's name. All this shows that Sultan al-Hakim has long lost his fighting spirit.
As soon as Sultan Hakim finished speaking, Francine's face was like ashes, but as the host, he let the guests go to fight and hide in the rear, how could Vors fight for Sultan Hakim?
He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! No, Walls won't help us fight like this! He is not a mercenary. ”
Hakim Sultan jumped up in anger, and the expression on her face was like thunder on a cloudy day.
"Mercenaries! Yes! Aren't people living in this world chasing profits? Give him a sum of money and let them fight for me, and I will give him command of half of my army, and let him go. I think of it as a mercenary army. ”
Hakim Sultan has not completely given up his sanity, he knows that Walls will not willingly help him fight, and only if he is given enough profit will he destroy Farvia for himself.
Hearing this, Francine's face softened, this was the only way he could get Walls to move.
"So! How much do we have to give? ”
Hakim Sultan held a hand.
"Half of my wealth in Shariz is given to him, and half of my wealth stored in the palace is given to him. As long as he can defeat Farvia. ”
Hakim Sultan shouted loudly, immediately attracting the attention of all the guards and soldiers present. Several soldiers who didn't know why looked around, and were glared back directly by Sultan Hakim. But its aftermath was no longer there, and all the soldiers feared Farvia, and for Hakimsdan it had long since lost its former glory. The soldiers simply turned their heads in indignation.
Such a performance Hakim Sultan naturally saw it.
"None of you obey my commands! In that case, let this guy Walls lead you to fight Farvia. ”
Then he turned to Francine again. "Go too! You and Walls defeat that woman in Farvia, and by the way, bring me back Alva the Pearl Light, and go, these guys don't obey my orders anymore. ”
With that, Sultan al-Hakim sat down in his chair like an angry child, staring blankly into the distance. There was still an endless desert in the distance, but the desert at this time was still the same as before, except that his territory had changed owners.
"Let's go! Let's go! ”
Sultan Hakim muttered to himself that he had lost all hope, that every time he fought against Farvia she had ended in defeat, that he had lost most of the Sultanate of Saland, and that he was now able to survive in the small land of Sharitz.
"You're crazy!"
Francine angrily dropped this sentence, then turned away, and no longer paid attention to the Sultan of Hakim, now he looked like Francine had never seen before, Francine did not give up any hope, but the Sultan of Hakim lost his fighting spirit because of this defeat, which was enough to make Francine a little angry. In fact, under the hands of Hakim Sultan, there is still a group of upright men who follow Hakim Sultan, to be honest, without this group of upright lords to support him, I believe he will not have enough troops to fight against Farvia.
Sultan al-Hakim was not angry at Francin's words, he was now like a rock, and he had no interest in the changes outside. He could only sit still, surrounded by one guard after another and soldiers. And he just seemed to be out of the way, quietly watching everything that was happening around him. No one knew what was going on in his mind, and no one was thinking about what was going on in his mind right now. Hakim Sultan was indifferent to the people around him, and how could the people around him care for him?
Of course, apart from the righteous lords, Chief Diu sent a caring look to the head of Hakim Sultan, but it was to no avail, he knew that Hakim Sultan would not listen to anyone again now. It stayed quietly in Sharitz, in his impersonal castle hall, quietly waiting for news of the decisive battle between Walls and Farvia.
Francine ran to the gate as fast as he could, and the two Salander soldiers guarding the gate looked at him, and then continued to look blankly at the desert in front of him. At this time of the year, there would always be more or less caravans passing through this city, which was the capital of Sharitz, the Sultanate of Saland, so a large number of caravans poured here to trade.
But now, there was nothing else on the desert but the golden sand. As the army passed by, rows and rows of footprints appeared on the sand. From these footprints, it can be seen that this is a scattered army. His fighting spirit was gone.
Francine looked into the distance, the Salander soldiers were still worried about whether they would survive tonight, who knew if Farvia would start the siege tonight? Soldiers have soldiers' worries, and Francine has his own.
He was waiting for someone to appear.
The sun was approaching the horizon, and if Walls hadn't seen Francine, the sun had set, and Hakim Sultan, who was on top of the city walls, shuffled back to the castle hall. He didn't want to leave the castle hall for a moment now, waiting quietly for Farvia's knife to fall across his neck.
But there is always hope, when half of the sun's body falls below the horizon, in the distance, the yellow sand is everywhere, and the white unicorn flag first appears above the yellow sand horizon.
Francine's eyes lit up, he had been standing with the two Salander soldiers for a long time. The Salander soldiers didn't stop at Francine because she was a woman.
Francine took a step forward, and the gates of Sharitz's castle were not closed, all because Walls had not returned. This time Hakim Sultan had already spoken out to put half of his own army under the command of Walls. As a result, Walls' army could have entered the interior of Sharez and merged with the army of Hakim Sultan.
Francine looked at the banner with excitement, and the defenders on the walls noticed something strange, they were still vigilant in battle, they were worried that the flag was Farvia's, and they hurriedly stood up, and stood in their own position where they should have been fighting. But when they were able to see what the flag looked like, they were relieved. Everyone knows this god of war from the territory of Rhodok. The appearance of the white unicorn soothed the tense nerves of the soldiers a little.
Danzi, who was also on the ramparts, glanced intently at the flag in the distance. Mumbled to himself, no one could hear what he was saying, but he just nodded and left. No soldier paid attention to the hermit's movements, they all knew who Danzi was, a master that Chief Diu had brought in from the depths of the desert.
The master should have attracted attention, but now this group of Salander soldiers had lost interest in everything around them.
A group of soldiers whose hearts are dead. Danzi said in his heart, looking up at the sun that was about to set.
"It's another cold night!"
Walls' troops had slowly moved into the city, and it turned out that the Hakim Sultan had sent a herald to inform Walls of his plan, and Walls learned of it and quickly entered the interior of the city of Sharitz. Something may change tonight.
"Your Majesty of the Kingdom of Karad, do you already know the news of the Sultan of Hakim?"
Francine looked at Walls' army, which was already preparing to enter the city, and said knowingly.
Walls turned his head and smiled lightly, this woman was able to stay by Hakim's side to show that he was definitely very capable.
"Of course! I would gladly command the other half of the Sultan al-Hakim's army, and I am grateful for the wealth she has given me. ”
Francine smiled, and despite the purple veil, Walls could only read his mood in his eyes. He is happy now because he has found his hope. The Sultan of Hakim had lost his fighting spirit, and Walls was willing to lead the group of Salander soldiers to continue the fight. This has to be said to be Francine's savior.
"Then I hope you can defeat Farvia!"
"Of course! What would I do, but I think you're under my command now?
"Huh?"
