133. Great love, forever passed on to future generations
The tension of any training session is no match for the fear of a real life-and-death struggle.
The Knights Hospitaller, which Orlan had formed with all his family resources, rammed back and forth on the road outside the village fort, and the shield formation of women and boys worked well, and even some teenagers turned their heads and fled in horror when they saw the momentum of the horses' conflict.
Forgetting the glory, he was stabbed through the chest by the knights from behind with their spears in their spears.
But the other part is an adult Viking warrior who is experienced and cohesive.
Glock raised his arms and shouted, and Abu fought alongside him.
The two of them were in confusion, closing their formation.
Those who are wounded but still capable of fighting hide in the queue, and the Viking warriors outside raise their shield walls.
Towards Nanding, who rushed to the child again, he defended it with all his might.
The White Eagle soldiers have been winning streak of battles lately, and their morale is high, but some of the people who have been selected as riders are still inexperienced.
Training an infantryman will take you to the battlefield in a few weeks, and training an elite infantry will take several times longer.
But to train a rider, from horses, equipment, riding training, etc., more than five times longer than the elite infantry.
Just the emergency stop and turn during combat, the speed change remains stable, and those with poor balance do not know how long to practice?
Even Orlan himself, his riding skills are only good when he runs safely on weekdays, but when he is in a combat state, especially when he is harassed by a group of horses, he can't do it.
In the past, when there were no stirrups, if a soldier was sent to practice, he might have to urinate blood for a day or two of riding, and it was difficult to get it quickly.
The maneuverability of the horse, the impact distance, some riders do not grasp it well, and they think that the victory is in hand, and it is too light on the enemy.
"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"
The five riders forgot their instructions and rushed straight through the front wall of the Vikings.
The power that was on the woman and the boy just now did not appear this time.
This time the charge hit the shield wall that was both heavy and heavy, and the five war horses were crippled by gravity, and they died miserably.
Immediately the rider flew out upside down.
The Vikings at the front were so dizzy that some even vomited blood.
But another group of warriors behind him quickly stepped forward to fill the position, slashing with all their might, and someone even stabbed the long sword into the rider's chest, turned around to expand the wound, and then dragged all the organs out with a desperate pull.
"Don't be afraid, we are wolves, and a hundred sheep can't fight a noble wolf."
"Before going to Valhalla, let's fight until the last moment."
"Lao Tzu has seen Valkyrie!"
After slaying the knight, cheers erupted in the Viking shield wall.
"Fuck you!"
Kunsang, armed with a heavy sword, slashed down a shield girl who attacked him, not only cutting off her head, but also kicking it out as a ball.
By the end of the battle, the battlefield had been strangled together, and a small number of riders and infantry were chasing the fugitives everywhere, and they had completed this combat mission.
Riders who don't die have a lot of experience, and the boost brought by this life-and-death charge will make future training more effective.
The final harvest battle, which was fought by the infantry.
The Haman troops who entered the village fort were almost completely annihilated.
The one who killed the most enemies was Marcus's personal army, and he bravely took the lead and opened the way.
Looking over Orlan, Marcus was like a flying crossbow, and after being projected with great force, he would not behead the enemy and swear not to land.
Outside the field, under Golden Fang, the horse-tailed Gomon who was pushed out as an echo worm had given up resistance.
But Abu and Glock desperately broke through and made a breach to the north.
Nanding and Kunsang rushed to the front, not giving in to each other's pursuit.
Orlan quickly walked down the watchtower, leaving the three behind.
Sals glanced at Sally, then followed, leaving the Titan and Sally.
At the age of Titan's bloody strength, seeing a good-looking aristocratic woman who would be taken from her life, she felt a sense of reluctance in her heart.
"Miss Sally, maybe there will be a turnaround." The Titan plucked up the courage to say a word.
But Sally looked at him contemptuously, "Turnaround? Do you dare to let me go?"
The Titan was stunned, and Sally showed resentment on her face, "If I were a man, if I had soldiers in my hands, I would play with your master to death, crucify him, and never take it off even if it corrupts the remaining bones!"
After saying that, Sally turned to look at the battlefield and said, "All-knowing and all-powerful God, have you heard my plea?"
I'm 'Sally Sachs', I'm your servant, let me do that, do you hear?"
The woman let out a vicious curse, and the Titan was so frightened that he almost didn't stand still, and he desperately held the handle of the watchtower.
……
Occasionally, the lord needs to charge and show his courage and make a show.
After Orlan came down, Sals followed, and the two took the helmets from the soldiers and stepped forward with high spirits.
By this time, Marcus had already killed Haman.
"Seven meters, that's enough!"
Marcus's speed stunt was displayed again, his body pressed to the ground, and he stabbed out his long sword and rushed over.
Sonor!
But the Vikings around him drew their swords left and right to block him back.
However, the two Vikings who blocked Marcus from capturing Haman showed their target and were shot by cold arrows at the same time.
Orlan drew his immortal sword, the tip of the sword pointing downward, extremely close to the ground, and slashed all the way through.
The defender gives him the ability to perceive danger and increase his eyesight.
Once a person becomes stronger, he will despise the danger and thus become complacent.
For the first time, Oran chose to enter the arena when the battle was still so intense.
When he appeared on the battlefield, the crossbowmen led by Tuman surrounded him, watching for Vikings to throw axes around.
Under Oran's persistent admonition, everyone knew that even if the lord took a risk, they would reduce the risk in advance.
The first to die under the Orlan sword was a young warrior who held a sword in his left hand and an armband made of silver, which belonged to a Viking freeman with a slight status, and his swordsmanship was also good.
But he was at the end of his crossbow, and with the archers behind Oran, he had to be distracted to defend his head, and to avoid exposing his body for too long, and his feet had to move flexibly.
In this kind of unfair battle, Orlan didn't even need to draw his sword, and after a few false shakes, he seized the opportunity and cut down this person with a sword.
Orlan continued to step forward and killed two more people.
Marcus watched Orlan's movements, and his mind flashed, this angle suddenly passed, can he succeed?
But this is just ordinary speculation to keep the Olan on guard.
He will not take things lightly until he solves the safety of the people he cares about and is sure that he can get out of the way.
There were fewer and fewer people around Harman, and finally with himself, there were only six people left, all tightly encircled.
But at this time, even if he raised the shield wall, he couldn't defend anything, and as long as Orlan raised his spear in his hand and stabbed it hard, these people would turn into meat sauce.
Seeing Orlan coming, Marcus knew that this was to steal credit, but he couldn't say anything, and the acquaintance stepped aside.
Withdrawn from the battle, Marcus's hands were shaking, and his injuries were not yet fully healed, and this battle cut twelve people, dodged multiple attacks, and had exhausted his strength, and even his sword collapsed into four corners.
"Haman?" Orlan raised his immortal sword and aimed it at the bastard.
"Lord of the White Eagle, Lord Oran." Harman knew that the tide was turning, and he switched to honorific titles.
After the greeting, Orlan didn't talk nonsense, gave Tuman a look, and the crossbowmen surrounded the six men, making them drop their weapons.
Harman, Orlan didn't want him to die, and the five Vikings except him were all stabbed with spears and bled all over the ground.
The spearmen went over with the infantry, stabbed Haman around his neck, and pressed him to his knees, making him look like a criminal ready to be beheaded.
The fighting outside the village fort also subsided.
Abu the Scavenger eventually escaped, but the boy and his horsetail were grabbed and brought with the other captives.
Among these captives were eleven shield maidens.
When they lost their weapons, they were like peasant women.
The shield maidens were ungraced, and their faces were as dead as ashes.
After all, a woman's desire to go to Valhalla is much lower than that of a man.
The wounded soldiers of their own side also leaned together in twos and threes, and let out cries of pain.
"Save as much as you can." After Oran finished instructing the military doctor, he compared the ponytail, the boy, and the one-eared, "Bring the three of them here." ”
Gomon didn't expect his name to be mentioned, and when he was shocked, he was dragged away along with Harman and Glock.
The scene was devastated, and Orlan randomly chose the nearest room and walked in.
The three chiefs were chained under a quilt, and behind them stood Kunsan, Nanding, and Armand, so that the three of them had no power to resist.
One captive entered the house at a time.
In the previous raids, Oran had seen two people besides Haman.
He didn't talk nonsense, and said to Glock who came in first, "I checked on you, you were supposed to take over the position of leader, but after Shi Meng appeared, you lost your beloved woman and status, and you were forced to flee."
You are a warrior, a warrior does not deserve this treatment, take refuge in me, and I will help you reclaim it all. ”
There are so many Vikings in the four northern counties, Orlan doesn't want to spend time on management, so he just picks a few leaders out first, and they can manage the oppression.
Shi Meng has thousands of people, even if he swallows it, it is difficult to digest it, and supporting a native Viking will be their master, and the cost is the smallest.
"Hahaha." Glock just laughed, he felt ridiculous.
"Don't think about it, you can protect that woman, 'Smon Pig' can't.
Now, break your crest, kneel down to Bemb, and if you don't want to, I'll pick someone else to replace you, and then gouge out your eyeball, and have someone take it, and hang it on the watchtower on the day you kill Shmon, so that you can see what happens to those people. ”
Armand let go of the suppression of Glock, but the longsword was ready to swing at any moment.
The noble wolf bowed his head at last.
Glock told himself in his heart that this was to find an opportunity, not to be afraid of death.
And Oran despises it in his heart, and it is for women, bullshit love......
Ten minutes later, Glock walked out, no longer in chains.
The second to enter was Kunsang and Gomon.
Seeing that there were no Viking companions by his side, Gomon immediately knelt down, "Your Excellency, I am willing to stand by your side and ask for your forgiveness. ”
Orlan didn't like the bones that were too hard, but he didn't like them either, because the latter could easily rebel in order to survive, so Oran scared him first.
"Although the Golden Fang is dead, he is the initiator, and you are the leader of his settlement, and you will inherit his sins."
"I was forced, Haman pushed me out, and it was only convenient to control me, except that I was the son of the former chief, I have no prestige, no power at all......"
Oran paused, and with a gesture, Kunsan behind him raised his heavy sword and swung it with all his might, and Gomon fainted with fright, but when he was woken up by the water again, he found himself collapsed in his chair and his chain was lost.
"Ben Bo has seen your repentance, I ask you, do you know the location of all the Vikings' strongholds in this operation?"
"Yes, I know."
"Okay, get down on your knees."
"Yes."
As soon as Oran's voice fell, Gomon almost jumped up in his chair, then hit his knees and bumped into him.
After the White Eagle Cross was put on, Gomon chanted the greatness of Oran.
"Wait a minute, pick out all the Viking warriors who are still alive, and those who may affect your rule, and solve them tonight......"
Oran intends to keep Gomon firmly in control by accusing him of harming his companions.
After explaining the night wedding action, Gomon was also forgiven and walked out.
Finally, Haman came in.
But Orlan didn't give him a chance to speak, and gagged him, broke his hands and feet, and cut off his other ear, causing him to lose his hearing completely.
"Thou hast slain the Golden Tooth and maimed my people, and to-night thou shalt die with the woman thou loved."
Oran's hands were bloodied, and Harman watched Oran's lips flicker, but he couldn't hear the slightest meaning.
After noon, the pursuing horsemen and infantry returned, some with their heads, others with wounded men.
Oran announced that the captives were in centralized custody and that a wedding feast would be held in the evening in the village fort, in a church that had not been destroyed.
Originally, Haman kept the church, and he also planned to forcibly unite with Sally after winning Orlan today.
But at this moment, he went from being the dominant to the forced.
Among the Viking warriors who did not die, Gomon singled out a group of brave and uncrossed paths, as well as people in the original settlement of Golden Tooth, who knew each other but looked down on him, a total of twenty-two.
Orlan pardoned the Vikings who had not died and were willing to convert, and allowed the twenty-two to attend the wedding with Haman.
But all of them were bound with chains or ropes, broken bones of their hands, and forcibly thrown into the church.
Claidon is the groom, and Sally is the bride.
At about six o'clock in the afternoon, it was already dark, and the two entered the church before and after.
No red carpets, no musicians, just murderous White Eagle soldiers, and lifeless Viking wounded.
The wedding was officiated by a military monk from Oran.
Harman sat in his seat closest to the stage, or rather paralyzed in pain, completely unaware of what was going to happen.
When Oran entered, the bride Sally followed behind, led by Sals.
Cledon, who entered the venue in advance and waited, was not happy to see the bride.
The strange sights around him made him panic, but he couldn't get out, and after betraying Earl and defecting to Orlan, he would not tolerate Earl's subordinate nobles.
The private soldiers who are still loyal to their manor, there are only a few people left, and they are all outside.
"Your Excellency." Everyone saluted and watched Oran walk onto the stage.
"Sally, your face!" Claidon saw that under the transparent veil, Sari's face was pale and terrible, and her lips were frighteningly red.
Sals smiled, "Makeup must be made on sacred days, and I use 'flour' to apply to Miss Sally's face, and 'horse blood' to her lips, is it beyond imagination?"
"That's what you want? Kleden, you betrayed us, and in the end you hurt yourself!"
After Sally finished speaking, Cledon barely dared to look at her.
It's terrible, this face is not the sari I want, it's not beautiful and pure at all!
Sally's features were like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter to herself, and Cledon was frightened back a few steps and turned to look at Oran, wanting to end the terrible wedding.
"What do you say? The Knight of Cledon, Lord Oran, who has done great things, destroyed countless wings for you, finally eliminated the Vikings, and held a wedding banquet as soon as possible, and you now say that you want to stop it?" Sals made an incredulous expression.
"No, it's not a wedding!" Claidon touched his waist and drew his sword, but he didn't know who to aim at.
"Ben Bo asked you, didn't you say that you are willing to do anything, even to sacrifice yourself, for the sake of Sally?"
"I ...... I don't want it!"
When Sals approached, he cheered him on in a voice that only Claidan could hear, "The wedding and the death day are on the same day, the body dies together, the soul is never separated, it is too enviable, and the greatest love is nothing more than this." ”
"Shut up!"
Cledan swung his sword, but Sals quickly dodged.
Sals and Orlan have made a plan to pardon the Vikings, bring the unruly Vikings into the church, and set them on fire.
After the "Ponytail Gomon" who were present got rid of these people, they began to control the remnants of the Vikings with the help of Orlan and the other captives.
The Gomon Society announced to the other Viking captives that Haman had no idea what to do, and even drew his sword in the church, disregarding the safety of the other surrenderers, and finally found that he could not break through and set fire to the church, but Lord Oran still chose to spare the Viking captives who did not participate.
As for whether they believe it or not?
All unbelievers will be rewarded with a sword.
Oran's confession to his fellow believers was that Kleden had seen his wife killed by the Vikings, and after angrily avenging her death, he committed suicide in the church.
A loyal and touching "knight's love" will be passed down and become a well-known love story for future generations.
Some versions even say that the two of them turned into a pair of butterflies and flew out after the church burned down......
Under Sals's later advocacy, "Cledon and Sally", this great love, will become a timeless story in the mouths of English bards.
Seeing Cledon crazy, Orland, "Cledon is so happy, stabilize his mood." ”
After Oran had finished speaking, Nandin went up and struck down Cledon's sword and knocked him to the ground with the back of his sword.
It was almost time, and Orlan got up and left.
As she walked past her, she looked at him, but Oran didn't stop.
When Orlan and his men walked out, he snapped his fingers, and a large number of torches were thrown in, and smoke quickly rose out.
The front and rear doors are locked.
Credan shouted frantically, picked up his sword and aimed it at the Vikings, who had lost their ability to fight, one sword at a time.
After killing all these Vikings, the sword was also broken, and finally he used his sword to face Sally, and the two children turned red, and changed from a handsome knight to a knight who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
Sally took off her veil and raised her hands for Claidon to do it.
But Cledon's hands trembled, and he would rather slash indiscriminately than dare to attack her.
Sally walked over, easily took the broken sword from Claidon's hand, hugged him and said, "Don't be afraid, it doesn't hurt." ”
Kleden's mind was already confused, and he chose to hug Sally.
Card!
Sally abruptly pushed Klaiden away, holding her sword in both hands, and slashed down from top to bottom, slicing blood in his face.
After Claidon fell in pain, Sally made up for multiple swords until she slashed at the hard bone and the whole sword was stuck and couldn't be pulled out.
At this time, the crosses on the stage were burned down, and Sari's breathing was difficult, and she was surrounded by flames, ready to meet death.
The back door suddenly opened, and a figure rushed in!
The man quickly hugged Sari, covered her mouth and nose with a towel, and led her to escape.
The man held Sally in his arms and fled in the darkness of the night, until he was completely away from Orlan's camp, and then put down Sally, who had inhaled too much smoke and was half dead.
The man dropped a dagger, a filthy blood-stained shieldmaiden's costume, and a bag of silver nuggets.
"If you escape, you will want revenge."
The man wore a mask and did not leave his identity, but the voice was heard by Sally.
It's the Masked Knight.....
Marcus didn't stop long, and hurried back.
Sally held the dagger in her hand, placed it on her chest, and slowly fainted.
......
......
No matter what happened the day before, the sun always rises as usual.
In the morning, Orlan came outside the church, looked at the ashes and bones on the ground, and sighed to Sals beside him, "She is a good woman. ”
Sals replied, "Well, I'll send his father and brother to be reunited right away, and the family should be in order." ”
Orlan glanced at him, "It's too urgent, stay for two more days, slaughter Shi Meng first, this dog thing, dare to bargain with Benbo, I want him to end up like Haman." ”
