Chapter Ninety-Six: The Barony Title Is in Hand
King Harauth looked at the blade of the axe that was getting closer and closer to his neck, and his eyes couldn't help but show a fear of death.
But just as he thought he was going to die, a dart suddenly burst into the air and slammed into King Ragnar's helmet, cracking his helmet, and one of the fallen helmet fragments made a long bloody streak on his cheek.
The sudden injury caused King Ragnar's strength to weaken for a moment, and King Haraus took this opportunity to push King Ragnar away with a strong push, and then pushed his legs on the ground and quickly retreated, pulling away several meters from King Ragnar.
King Ragnar reached out and wiped the blood from his cheek, then with a murderous face, he took out a throwing axe from behind him and threw it in the direction where the dart had just come from.
Like Baron Sol, King Ragnar is also a super strong man with a height of more than two meters, which can be called a natural power, and his throwing axe thrown with all his strength is full of power, and with the whirring sound of the wind breaking, he spins and splits to see a figure wearing a black hooded cloak.
But in the face of the flying axe, the black shadow only slowly stretched out a palm, and with a seemingly random catch, he firmly grasped the handle of the flying axe, and let the sharp axe blade stay more than ten centimeters in front of the door.
At this time, a force of the nobles of the Swadia Kingdom came up to reinforce him, and King Ragnar glanced at the dark shadow that had ruined his good deeds, and then shouted at his soldiers to retreat.
As when the attack began, these Nord Kingdom warriors retreated very quickly, and in just a minute or so, they were completely evacuated.
This is all because these warriors of the Nord Kingdom are originally professional in foot combat, and their running skills are all of a very high level, while most of the warriors of the Swadia Kingdom have focused their skills on horsemanship, so they naturally cannot be compared with the other party in terms of foot combat movement speed.
After the enemy withdrew, Haraus turned his head and looked around, and found that the corpses of his soldiers could be seen everywhere around him, just that seemingly short of time attack, his soldiers lost at least two or three hundred people, even as a king, Harlaus was distressed to death, after all, he had just taken the throne, and the more than a thousand soldiers and horses had almost exhausted his pockets, and now he had lost two or three hundred people at once, which was definitely a break to the bones!
However, in front of his men, Haraus had to pretend that nothing had happened, and even insisted that the encounter had been won by their side of the Swadia Kingdom, and that the vile and cowardly Nords had once again been beaten by them and fled deeper into the forest.
On the other side, Ye Tianlong and they repaired in the enemy camp outside Rudburg for a day, and after packing up all the spoils, they began to rush towards the main battlefield, after all, he had not met the king of Ragnar since he came here! After a period of time, Ye Tianlong is still ready to continue to mix under the other party's hands! Therefore, it is better to come and meet the other party as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be respectful enough to this His Majesty.
Ye Tianlong's troops, which were all mules and horses, marched very fast, and it only took about half a day to arrive at the original main battlefield.
In order to find the main army of the Nord Kingdom led by King Ragnar as soon as possible, Ye Tianlong had to go back to the real world and get a hot air balloon for reconnaissance.
With the help of this air unit to reconnoitre, the efficiency was indeed much higher, and it only took a few hours for Ye Tianlong and them to discover the location of the main army led by King Ragnar.
So Ye Tianlong hurriedly rushed over with his troops, ready to meet His Majesty the King. Ye Tianlong was accompanied by his titular boss, Baron Thor.
King Ragnar was overjoyed to learn that his general, Baron Saul, had returned safely, and immediately met Saul and Ye Tianlong in his makeshift camp.
After asking Thor in detail about the battle, and after seeing the nobles and officers of the Swadia Kingdom who were captured, King Ragnar felt that this time the national war was already in his hands.
In order to reward Baron Sol who has made great contributions, King Ragnar promoted his title to a viscount on the spot, and the territory was directly doubled on the original basis, as for Ye Tianlong, because Baron Sol was also very hard to ask for credit for him, so King Ragnar also promoted this little knight to a baron and became an official nobleman of the Nord Kingdom. In addition, Ye Tianlong's territory is also several times larger than the original, and the generous King Ragnar divided a large part of the coastal territory to Ye Tianlong, after all, in King Ragnar's opinion, the other party is a merchant from overseas, giving the other party some coastal territory, and it is also convenient for the other party to build a port to dock and maintain sea ships!
Receiving such a rich reward, Sol and Ye Tianlong are very happy, and when they are happy, some people will be uncomfortable, these people are naturally those old nobles who want to suppress Sol, Sol has now been promoted to viscount, if this makes the other party make some contributions, then I am afraid that he will be promoted to earl! At that time, even if the other party completely enters the high-level of the Nord Kingdom, it will be very difficult to control!
What's more, the lands that Sol and Ye Tianlong were granted were all originally owned by other great nobles! Although King Ragnar has already chosen the wasteland that has not been developed as much as possible, it is really more uncomfortable to let these big nobles take out the land in their hands and reward it to others!
However, these guys also understand that King Ragnar did this on purpose, in order to weaken the power of these old nobles and let them better control the entire Nord Kingdom, so they did not dare to openly oppose the order of His Majesty the King, but they were already discussing privately how to trap Viscount Nasol next time.
Because the hostility of those old nobles towards them is almost undisguised, which makes even heartless guys like Zhou Jiale feel it, and this rich second generation who is not afraid of big things After discovering this, he ridiculed those old nobles, saying that those guys control so much territory and population, and they have more troops than Viscount Sol, but they have not been able to make any decent contributions until now, where is the right to be jealous of Viscount Sol!
After hearing Zhou Jiale's taunts, the subordinates of those big nobles immediately ridiculed Viscount Sol and Ye Tianlong tit-for-tat that they were just a group of hillbillies who had taken shit luck, and hillbillies like them with low-blooded blood were not qualified to be compared with their masters at all.
In the end, he used the radical method, saying that if Viscount Nasol and Ye Tianlong really had the ability, they would go and destroy the main army of the Swadia Kingdom!
At this time, the armies of the two countries went through several rounds of confrontation, and they all suffered damage to each other, among which the Swadia Kingdom suffered more losses, with about 1,000 casualties, and the Nord Kingdom also suffered more than 300 casualties.
And even with more than 1,000 casualties, the main army of the Svadia Kingdom still has more than 5,000 horses! And after suffering several losses, King Haraus finally stopped insisting on fighting the Nord kingdom in the woods, but withdrew from the woods with his troops and camped on the plains outside.
In the eyes of the men of the great nobles, if they continued to catch up at this time, they might encounter a counterattack by the heavy cavalry forces of the Swadia Kingdom.
In the plains, the heavy cavalry troops of the Swadia Kingdom are indeed invincible, and no country's cavalry can compete with them.
Therefore, the subordinates of those big nobles were so aggressive with Zhou Jiale, and they also wanted to let Viscount Sol and Ye Tianlong, the newly promoted barons, go to death, so that their masters would not waste so many brain cells to think of any plans to harm each other.
However, this agitation method is a bit too obvious, and they feel that Sol and Ye Tianlong should not be fooled.
However, what they didn't expect was that in the afternoon of the same day, Ye Tianlong and Sol led the attack, aiming directly at the main army of the Swadia Kingdom.
In fact, of course Ye Tianlong didn't fall for those guys' agitation! He just saw that there was a great military merit in front of him, and he felt that it would be a bit of a waste if he didn't eat it.
The hoplites of the Swadia Kingdom are naturally powerful, but after many battles, Ye Tianlong can be seen that the soldiers under his command can completely deal with the hoplites of the Swadia Kingdom by relying on the chariot formation. This time he brought so much ammunition, even if the other side had 5,000 men, it would be completely enough.
At the same time, King Haraus was discussing something in the tent with the black-robed man who had saved him before, and the other nobles and even his personal guards were driven to a distance of at least a hundred meters from the tent, so as not to overhear his conversation with the black-robed man.
After King Harlaus finished talking with the black-robed man, the information that Ye Tianlong led his troops to pursue was also sent back to the Chinese army camp by the scout cavalry.
After getting the news, King Haraus left a few hundred mercenaries to take charge of the rear, and then retreated neatly with the rest of the troops, and had no intention of fighting Ye Tianlong at all.
So when Ye Tianlong led the army to kill, he was faced with an empty enemy camp with only a few hundred miscellaneous mercenaries left.
Faced with this situation, Ye Tianlong had no interest in continuing to do it, and directly asked Du Yong, who had the loudest voice among them, to go out and shout to the mercenaries in those large camps, asking them to surrender immediately.
Those mercenaries are naturally not stupid, and at this time they can also see that they should be regarded as outcasts, and it is meaningless to continue to resist, after all, King Haraus has more than 5,000 horses in his hands and dare not fight with the one in front of him, which can only show that the other party really has a few brushes in his hands, and they continue to resist stubbornly It is not in vain to die!
However, for the sake of the large sum of money that King Harauth had given them before leaving, these mercenaries did not surrender immediately, but used the negotiation as an excuse to delay for another two or three hours to ensure that the main army led by King Haraus had gone far before opening the door and surrendering.
