Chapter Ninety-Five: King Harlaus vs. King Ragnar

And the army of the Kingdom of Svadia, led by King Haraus, pursued them to the edge of the woods, but did not immediately follow them.

King Nahallus burst out laughing after riding his horse around the entrance to the woods, and the captain of the guard asked him why. King Haraus said that he had seen through King Ragnar's little plan a long time ago, and now he had a way to solve it.

And the solution that King Harlaus came up with was also very simple, that is, arson, in his opinion, as long as a fire was put on, those Nords who had originally burrowed into the forest would have to obediently drill out and die.

Since the king wanted to set the fire, the soldiers below naturally did not dare to disobey, and immediately came to the edge of the woods with torches to light the fire.

However, to King Harlaus's dumbfounded, the fire was extinguished as soon as it was lit, and then only puffs of smoke came out, which was blown by the wind, and choked his own soldiers.

What King Haraus didn't know was that this forest was already very close to the sea, so the water vapor was very sufficient, unlike the woods in the inland areas of the Swadia Kingdom, it was difficult to ignite, unless it was directly on the incendiary bomb, but King Haraus obviously did not have such advanced weapons in his hands, so he could only let his soldiers use torches to light the fire, which wanted to really light the fire that could force out the enemy army, I don't know when!

In addition, the soldiers on the side of the Nord Kingdom are not dead! By the time the fire was about to be lit, it would have been moved to other places, and then King Harlaus's fire would only burn lonely.

After discovering this embarrassing fact, King Haraus was also a little embarrassed, but he quickly said that even if they dismounted and fought on foot, the knights of their Swadia Kingdom were also the most powerful warriors on this continent, and they were not afraid of the royal guards of the Nord Kingdom at all, not to mention that they still had an advantage in strength, so what if they chose to fight on foot and touch each other in the forest!

After saying this, King Haraus led by example, leading more than 1,000 soldiers under his command into the woods first.

The other Svadian kings and nobles saw that the king had already drilled into the forest, so naturally they couldn't continue to stay outside as spectators, after all, if King Haraus was killed or captured alive because of his lone army and being killed or captured by the enemy, it would be their Svadia kingdom that lost face in the end!

And don't look at King Harlaus's hard words before, but in fact, after he really led his men into this dark wood, he was still a little panicked. After all, the Nord Kingdom has piled up most of its resources on heavy infantry for so many years, and in the field of infantry combat, no one dares to call itself the first if the Nord Kingdom claims to be the second.

And although the knights of their Swadia Kingdom are well-equipped, their skill points are all focused on horse warfare, and they are really inferior to those Nord royal guards in foot combat!

Now King Haraus only hopes that those Nords have really been killed by them, and have no courage to stay in this forest and continue to resist them.

But this hope of King Haraus was soon dashed, and not long after they entered the woods, a javelin suddenly came from the front without warning, and pierced the neck of one of the hoplites in front of him, and a few drops of blood splattered even fell on his face.

"Be careful, enemy attack!" The captain of the guard roared, holding a knight's kite-shaped shield and hurriedly blocked in front of his own king.

Sure enough, in the next second, more javelins and throwing axes were fired from the trees ahead, mixed with a few arrows.

The captain of King Harlaus's personal guard was in the forefront, and the shield in his hand was almost instantly full of javelins and throwing axes, and as the shield durability was exhausted, the shield in his hand suddenly snapped and shattered, followed by a large number of javelins and throwing axes, and the striking power of these things was very strong, even if the captain of the personal guard was wearing a full-body plate armor, he could not be broken by these throwing weapons for the time being, but his body was quickly smashed by the huge force and fell to the back.

And as soon as the captain of the guard fell, the remaining javelins and axes came towards King Haraus, who had only a small wooden shield in his hand, and was torn apart by the axes and javelins in three or two blows, and then he could only wave the half-sword in his right hand and knock the javelins and axes that were shot at him.

Fortunately, the enemy's throwing weapon strike was also coming to an end, and after Harlaus hurriedly knocked a few javelins and throwing axes, the throwing weapons that kept flying were suddenly cleared.

But now is not the time to relax, as this wave of throwing weapons like a storm is over, a large number of Nord Kingdom warriors who have painted oil paint on their faces and are covered with branches and weeds rushed out of the dark woods in front of them with all kinds of weapons in their hands, and let out a beastly roar from their mouths, and rushed towards King Haraus and them.

Many of the soldiers of the Svadia Kingdom were injured in the previous throwing weapon attack, and at this time, in the face of these Nord Kingdom soldiers who pounced like wild beasts, they had no power to fight back at all, and they were quickly harvested and lost their lives.

And King Haraus also saw that before his captain of the guard could get up from the ground, he was trampled on the chest by a soldier of the Nord Kingdom, and the solid plate armor on his body was dented, and then his captain of the guard immediately spurted a mouthful of blood, and died in such a suffocated manner.

Then the Nord Kingdom warrior jumped violently, his body jumped more than two meters high, and like a fierce tiger, he waved the two-handed battle axe in his hand, and slashed at him condescendingly.

Seeing this, King Harlaus hurriedly raised his hand and blocked the half-sword, only to hear a loud sound of the bell, King Haraus felt a terrible force coming from the blade of the sword, and the sword in his hand was carefully crafted by domestic skilled craftsmen using the finest steel, and in a burst of sparks, an obvious gap immediately appeared on the sword body.

Although King Haraus tried to stabilize his body, he was finally pushed back several steps by this huge force, knocking down one of the soldiers behind him.

Before King Harauth could stabilize his form, the enemy stepped forward quickly, following him like a shadow, and swept his great axe towards his neck.

Seeing this, King Haraus had to control his hands, which were still a little numb, and tried to raise the sword in his hand to block.

After the sound of the bell, King Harlaus, who was already unstable, barely blocked the opponent's blow, but his body was involuntarily swept by the opponent's axe and fell to the left.

As soon as King Haraus fell, the right foot of the other man, wearing an iron legging, kicked between his legs, which was one of the few places on his body that his full plate armor could not protect.

"Damn! It's so vicious! King Harauth roared, his right leg retracted inward, and he used his right knee to resist the kick, while the half-sword in his hand stabbed the opponent in the abdomen.

The other party looked at the half-sword of the hand that stabbed him in the abdomen, and actually reached out directly with his left hand, and squeezed it violently with the palm of the iron gauntlet, and actually pinched the sword body stabbed by King Harlaus, so that he couldn't recover the long sword for a while.

The other party took advantage of this opportunity to swing the giant axe in his hand with one hand and slashed at Haraus's neck.

King Haraus looked at the rapidly falling axe blade, and was so frightened that his body was like a caterpillar on the ground and tried to avoid the blow, but although he was wearing full-body plate armor, his defense was very high, but his physical flexibility was greatly limited, and he couldn't move his body far after several chrysalis, and finally he could only see the axe smash his helmet.

Fortunately, the opponent's axe was chopped down with one hand, resulting in less force than before, so it only split King Harlaus's barrel helmet a little dented and deformed, and failed to directly split his head.

However, King Haraus also felt that his brain was buzzing, and for a while he seemed to be unable to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and the barrel helmet that had been split and dented and deformed made his head very uncomfortable, which seriously affected his vision, so King Harlaus simply lifted the barrel helmet off his head, and then slammed the barrel helmet at the other party after identifying the enemy's position a little.

The other party casually waved the battle axe in his hand and split the barrel helmet away, and then held the axe in both hands, gathered enough strength, and slashed at King Haraus's head with another axe.

At this time, King Haraus had already taken off his barrel helmet, and the only defense on his head was only a layer of chain mail head and shoulder scarf.

So he hurriedly held the sword in both hands and blocked it in front of him.

After the giant axe from the other party slashed at the sword, the blade once again collapsed into a soybean-sized gap, and at the same time, the huge force carried on the giant axe continued to press down, making the body considered strong, and King Harlaus, who was in the prime of life, could not support it, and the long sword in his hand was slowly pressed down, and finally the opponent's axe blade was about to touch his shoulder.

At this time, because the lack of the barrel helmet affected the line of sight, and the two were almost face to face, so although the other party smeared several black oil paints on his face, King Haraus still recognized that this Nord soldier who had been pressing himself was actually Ragnar, the king of the Nord Kingdom.

As the same king, he has been pressed and beaten by the other party, which makes Haraus feel very ashamed, so with a loud roar, he doesn't know how to give birth to a force in his body, and he actually slowly supported the opponent's giant axe.

King Ragnar was also a little surprised by this, he looked at the other man's arms that were trembling violently, and thought to himself, this kid really has a lot of potential! was able to increase his strength under intense stimulation, and he was able to temporarily suppress him in terms of strength in turn.

But this is indeed only temporary, as King Ragnar also suddenly strengthened, and even his body was pressed on the back of the axe, King Harlaus's sword was slowly pressed back, this time no matter how King Harlaus squeezed his own strength, it didn't work, the long sword was still being pressed down, and this time the other party also adjusted the direction, and pressed the axe blade against his neck.
