Chapter 421 [Do You Want to Try It?]

Nurim province border.

One hundred and forty miles west of the city of Rova.

Cochran nervously chewed the tobacco in his mouth—a habit he had developed during those days in the imperial capital.

As a key member of Thor's Whip 2nd Division, a true son of the Plains of Lorraine, Cochran participated in the New Year's coup d'état in the imperial capital. Seeing that the Mesozoic leader of the Rollin family, Aker, supported Shiloh to ascend the throne and be crowned, and at the same time became the No. 1 military boss of the empire.

When it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, people like Cochrane have of course been vigorously promoted.

He stayed in the imperial capital for more than half a month - the life of more than half a month was unforgettable in his life.

When the coup d'état was successful, the lords of the aristocratic class in the entire imperial capital were terrified. Almost all the backbones of the 2nd Division, the "heroes" who participated in the coup, were co-opted and targeted by various forces - most of them were hoping to get some news from them, or to get them to try to get a ride on the Aker line.

Cochran lost count of how many people he had killed on that bloody night—including his colleagues who had fallen under his butcher's knife in the warehouse at the Imperial Capital Harbor Docks!

But he still remembered that in the days of the imperial capital, those nobles who were usually arrogant and high-spirited bowed their noble heads to him.

All kinds of banquet invitations, large and small gifts, intercessors, people who inquire about news.

The tobacco addiction came from a middle-class aristocratic family, and the cowardly nobleman, fearing that his family would be implicated in the reckoning, sent him to a banquet and gave him a bunch of goods, including ten barrels of fine tobacco.

Cochran didn't like smoking, but he liked the taste of chewing tobacco. He fell in love with the feeling of a bitter mouth with a strangely rich taste.

The following month after the successful coup d'état in the imperial capital, he was promoted. From a commander-level officer, he was promoted to one level, and officially entered the general class in the imperial ** team.

Although Cheng Dù, who has been promoted three or four levels in a row compared to most of his colleagues, Cochrane has only been promoted by one level, which seems to be a bit less. But only he knows it. The real gold content of this level!

For the vast majority of officers in the Roland Empire, the commander rank was already the limit of a mid-level officer. Especially for a person like Cochran, who did not have a deep background, he was able to climb to the commander of the infantry regiment of the second division of Thor's Whip at the age of forty, relying on his background as a child of the Rollin family and his absolute allegiance to Aker.

Commanders and generals. It's just one word missing, it's just one level away. But this level is very different!

He even clearly remembered the moment when the people around him changed his address from "Lord Commander" to "Lord General" after putting on the new badge he put on. There was a strong current of heat in my heart!

Even on my wedding night twenty years ago, I never felt so excited!

Checkmate!

What a nice title!

Cochran's current official rank is: Major General of the Roland Empire, Deputy Commander of the 3rd Division of Thor's Whip, and Commander of the 1st Cavalry Regiment.

Transferring from the infantry commander of the 2nd Division to the 3rd Division as the cavalry commander is already a promotion in itself. Not to mention, the rank became a major general...... And the most important thing is the title of this deputy division commander!

Because...... After Shiloh ascended to the throne. Relying on the strength of Aker and vigorously making personnel adjustments in the army, a delicate situation is: the commander of the third division of Thor's Whip is currently ...... Vacancy!

Yes, Cochran, the deputy commander of the division, is now the de facto supreme commander of the 3rd Division of Thor's Whip.

Before he took office, he had been personally received by Aker, and the leader of the Rollin family told him very clearly: Do a good job!

Commanding the entire Third Division as deputy division commander, Cochran certainly knew what Lord Aker meant by "doing a good job".

Obviously, as long as you work hard to do well. Then the position of "commander of the main division" will continue to be vacant until he waits patiently for a suitable opportunity...... And then......

What made Cochrane a little excited at the moment was that he thought he would have to wait a long time - after all, after entering the general level, it would be too difficult to move up one level every time!

But what I didn't expect was. This opportunity may have come in advance. Now, it's in front of your eyes!

Cochran received an order from Aker to enter the province of Nurin, to patrol the provincial border west of the city of Rova, and not to allow any organized military group to cross the provincial border until a new order was received!

Although the order does not specify directly, Cochran certainly knows who the "any military group" is referring to in the order.

In this place in the northwest, apart from the Tulip family's army, what other "military group" could there be? Could it be that there is such a poor old, weak, sick and disabled garrison army in Nulin Province?

His 3rd Division had been holding the border for three days—the army was scattered, and three infantry regiments plus one cavalry regiment were spread over two hundred miles of the border.

Thor's Whip 4th Division was south of Cochran, but two hundred miles away, and was tasked with patrolling another section of the border.

Rova has temporarily become the logistics camp of Thor's Whip, and the army's logistics have temporarily taken over Rova.

After all, the transfer of the elite divisions of the two empires' main battles is an extremely rare thing in peacetime - even if it is a coup d'état in the imperial capital, only one is transferred.

Originally, the transfer of the two divisions of Thor's Whip, after 50,000 troops, came to the northwest, and the logistics were under a lot of pressure.

The official treasury of Rova has been taken over, and the tax grain of the previous quarter in the province of Nulin has been temporarily diverted for use.

To Cochran's surprise, in solving the problem of logistics, another force appeared in Rova City, which took the initiative to catch up with its third division and took the initiative to sell a sum of food to the army.

Cochran did not know the specifics of the forces in this place. I just heard from the officials of Rova City that this is an alien religious group that has purchased thousands of acres of local land and operated its own industry here to open up wasteland. Farming, attracting displaced people, and forming villages and walled cities......

This kind of thing is not too unusual in the Northwest.

However, it is always good to have local forces willing to take the initiative to share a little of the pressure on the army's logistics.

After all, the two hundred sheep they bought for logistics were not enough for all the troops to eat, but at least it was much better for the soldiers to drink broth than to gnaw on dry food.

The army was placed on the border of Nurin Province - in fact, the border of Tulip Territory.

This kind of thing, Cochrane still has some pressure in his heart.

At least he couldn't be like a normal garrison. Send Scouts...... He can't cross the border!

Because he was given the order to prevent the military group from crossing the border, but if he dared to let his cavalry scouts out and run to the Tulip family's territory...... Then the meaning of the matter is completely different!!

In fact, Cochran's army was stationed just a kilometre behind the border line, and cavalry patrolled back and forth along the border line every day.

In the past few days, a small army of the Tulip family has patrolled the border - the other side has not crossed the border either. But in the face of the Thor's whip on the opposite side, the attitude of these Tulip patrol cavalry was obviously very unfriendly.

Tulip patrols are appearing more and more frequently and in number.

The Tulip family's army reacted very quickly to the large-scale pressure of the two divisions of Thor's Whip, and Cochran had already received the news that an infantry regiment of the Tulip family's private army had gathered on the other side of the border line, and another infantry regiment was also on the way.

Although the strength is superior. But Cochran doesn't rest on its laurels – the Tulip family doesn't have a lot of troops, but their reputation as elite has already spread all over the world. Whether it is among the people or the military, all kinds of praise and praise for the Tulip family army began more than 100 years ago and has not been interrupted until today.

What's more, the Tulip family has an endless stream of all kinds of novel equipment and weapons - although for more than a hundred years, many things have been shared with the Emperor ** team, but God knows how much those Tulip people have hidden.

Cavalry scouts on the ground can't cross the border, but Thor's Whip has its own methods.

Hot air balloons are not a novelty in Roland 6 for a long time, and hot air balloons have been raised in the army.

Although there is no border crossing. However, hot air balloons at high altitude have a natural advantage in vision, and dozens of hot air balloons act as the "eyes" of ground troops in the sky every day, closely watching the movements of the tulips.

On this day......

The news that made Cochran nervous has finally arrived!

The divisional headquarters received a message from a hot air balloon, on that side of the border line. There is a massive Tulip family cavalry on the ground approaching high!

When Cochran received the news, he immediately ordered the entire army to assemble.

The Tulip family's cavalry had a clear goal and were coming towards him head-on.

Most of his forces were scattered along the border, and he had only a full cavalry regiment at hand—the cavalry regiment he commanded directly.

Thor's whip was still very elite, and after the horn of emergency assembly was sounded, the cavalry regiment had completed the assembly in just half an hour, and the whole army was ready to go.

When Cochran rushed to the border line with more than 3,000 of his cavalry, he happened to see the opposite side......

On the horizon, it was as if a dark cloud had fallen from the sky and slowly rolled forward on the ground!

The massive cavalry ran and brought up a large cloud of dust, and in this dry northwest, a large area of sand was raised!

The dense sound of horses' hooves drew closer and closer, turning into a muffled movement like thunder.

In the sunlight, Cochran could clearly see the light reflected from the armor of the opposing cavalry.

Retracting the monoculars, Cochran raised his hand, and the adjutant next to him saw it and immediately raised the flag......

Behind Cochran, the cavalry regiment of Thor's Whip had lined up horizontally, the cavalry restraining their horses, nervously clenching their mounted spears in their hands, and sitting on the preparations before the battle.

Cochran's heart was pounding—he hadn't experienced a real large-scale cavalry hedge battle—because it was a time of peace, and few soldiers in the entire empire had ever experienced such a thing.

But he still gritted his teeth tightly! At least he had to complete the military orders he had obtained in his hands! Otherwise, not only would the future that was already within reach fly away, but what would await him would be the punishment of military law!

This moment. Cochrane suddenly had a strange sense of absurdity in his heart:

Maybe...... Will the curtain of the Imperial Civil War be lifted in my hands?

......

............

Finally, it was as if God showed a trace of mercy and couldn't bear too much killing on this land.

Or maybe some god heard Cochrane's prayer.

Just as Cochrane's clenched fist was about to be lowered...... As soon as his fist was lowered, then the flag in the adjutant's hand waved. The cavalry will start charging!

Thankfully, in the field of view of the telescope, the Tulip family's cavalry began to decrease!

According to the law of cavalry warfare, because of the weight of the horse and the limitation of horsepower, the cavalry has the distance to effectively charge.

So, at the time of the battle. Qualified officers can judge whether the enemy will be ready to charge based on the distance of the enemy's cavalry.

Seeing the Tulip family's cavalry coming from a distance, they had already begun to reduce their ...... before they could enter the sprint distance And not mention.

This move calmed Cochrane's heart a little.

Immediately, he saw the other side. In the cavalry of the Tulip family, there was a standard-bearer rushing to the front and shaking the flag a few times.

Cochran, who was familiar with the cavalry banner, was even more convinced: it was a signal to command the whole army to be reduced.

The flowing dark clouds slowly stopped.

When it was completely stationary, it was less than 500 meters from Cochrane.

This distance is relatively safe. Everyone knows it.

A distance of five hundred meters was not enough for a massive cavalry to rush - the distance was too short. The addition of horses is not enough to achieve the best charge.

"It looks like they don't want to fight ......"

Cochran felt a little secretly relieved.

However, in the next moment, he was stunned!

The standard-bearer led by the Tulip cavalry suddenly put away the military flag, and then he slowly turned his horse's head and ran away from the side of the team.

Then, among the cavalry, he saw that among the cavalry, he slowly gave way to a passage......

Run out a fiery red war horse!

The horse's whole body was as red as a flame!

Immediately, a golden armor, all over the armor is the gorgeous lines!

And what's even more amazing is that this owner of the armor!

The fiery red cloak flutters in the wind!

The sword hung from her waist. A shiny riding spear was in her hand!

As she slowly rode her horse up, the cavalry on both sides of the cavalry, in addition to getting out of the way, the cavalry who were close to each other all made a posture of hanging down......

And just behind her, a standard-bearer followed closely. A big flag has been erected high!

In the midst of the flames...... The golden tulip flower in full bloom!!

At this moment, including Cochrane, Thor's Whip here, everyone knows the identity of the female knight on the opposite horse!!

Duke Tulip!

Only Duke Tulip!!

In the entire Roland Empire, only such a person is qualified to raise such a banner!!

In the flames, the golden ...... Tulip flowers!!

Messiah Lorin Rudolph!

Present-day Duke Tulip!

......

Cochran's heart is going to jump out!

He was given the order to organize a military group to cross the border - but he was not mentally prepared to face the Duke of Tulip!!

Even if reason tells him about Cochrane, the person opposite him is a young chick who is no more than twenty years old.

But, after all, the title she wore on her head was enough to make most of the people in this world fall to their knees on the spot!

Duke Tulip!

That legendary god-like family!

Seeing that the duchess personally came out of the battle, he slowly came out of the crowd...... Cochran knew he had to step in.

The dukes of the other party have come forward in person, and if he has a small rank of deputy division commander and major general, and is still hiding behind, it will be a joke.

Not only cowardly, but also a kind of "chiluo" naked insult!

Cochran slowly let go of his fist and lowered his hand.

He even hung up his riding gun. Just pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand, grasped the reins with the other, and slowly rode the horse forward.

Du Weiwei didn't get too close.

She was about twenty meters away from her opposition before she stopped. Cochran continued on for about a hundred meters.

Even if you can become an enemy. But it's really a Roland 6 etiquette.

A distance of 100 meters, if Cochran walked half a step less. Then he will immediately be considered by all the nobles as an insult to the duke!

Sitting on his horse, Cochran bowed, his cold sweat running down the inside of his helmet. After coughing vigorously, Cochran said loudly: "I am the third division of Thor's Whip......"

"I know who you are. ”

Du Weiwei's voice was very cold.

But the sound was enough to spread throughout the entire team on both sides.

"Your name is Cochrane, and you were born in an ordinary family on the Plains of Lorraine, and you are a native of Lorraine. Du Weiwei's tone seemed to be an understatement. But the words that came out were as sharp as an awl, and pierced Cochran's heart fiercely: "Before the New Year, you were only an infantry commander under the Second Division Aker, and on New Year's Eve, your hands were stained with a lot of blood...... Including more than 100 of your colleagues. And then...... Their blood. Dyed your epaulettes red, now you, have become a general of the Empire. Well, the deputy division commander of the 3rd Division, the de facto Supreme Commander. I said, yes!"

The girl's voice was slightly sharp, but it had an awe-inspiring majesty. This majesty is not deliberately artificial, but seems to be natural!

Especially...... Behind her, there was the dense cavalry.

Especially...... Behind her, on that banner, golden tulips in the flames!!

Cochran's face immediately flushed, and he was almost oozing blood!

A coup d'état on New Year's Eve, in which he killed more than a hundred of his colleagues who disagreed with the coup d'état...... This is an eternal knot in his heart, and a sin in his heart that can never be erased!

At this moment, he was directly provoked by the Duke Tulip opposite, so "chiluo" naked, so that the shame in his heart was exposed in broad daylight......

Cochran's blood has rushed to the top of his head!

But he still remembers who he is. He took a few deep breaths, suppressed the shame in his heart, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Lord Duke! The empire has a decree, and the private army of nobles is not allowed to cross the border without permission! With so many soldiers and horses, what is the intention?Does the Duke want to ignore the laws of the Empire?"

Du Wei smiled.

Sitting on her horse, she leaned forward slightly.

Cochran could clearly feel that there was a sharp look on his body, and he couldn't help but breathe a little sluggish.

"I know what you're trying to say. But I'm in a bad temper right now. So, I don't have the heart to play with you with all this verbosity. Du's slightly indifferent voice came: "I'm here, take with me the loyal knights of the Tulip Family! And I'm going to pass from here, take them with me! What kind of national law you are talking about has no meaning to me! If the national law is useful, then that Shiloh should not sit in the imperial palace of the imperial capital now, but should be in prison clothes and rotten in prison! As for you, Your Excellency General, you should not stand here and talk to me...... You should be hanged in a court-martialed for the murder of your colleagues. ”

Cochran's face darkened.

Du Wei paused deliberately, and then, she lifted her breath and shouted: "Now, I sue you! I am coming! And I am ready to go! I have a sword in my hand! Behind me are knights who are loyal to me who I thought I would serve to the death! And behind them, there is the tulip flag that has never been lowered!"

Cochrane is in a cold sweat more and more!

He has been in the army for half his life.

He also fantasized about fighting on the battlefield, experiencing the fiercest wars, and fantasizing about becoming one of those famous generals......

But......

Even in the most absurd fantasies and dreams...... Nor had he ever been so ridiculous as to think he could...... Defeat the tulips?!

He also tried to say something: "Lord Duke...... Please calm down...... If the army crosses the border, it is a blatant rebellion...... Are you going to bear the sin of provoking a civil war......"

Du Weiwei ignored him at all!

She turned her head abruptly and tilted her neck behind her.

The standard-bearer immediately rode his horse and ran over, and then held the flame tulip battle flag in front of Du Weiwei with both hands.

Du Weiwei took it, grabbed it, and weighed it in his hand......

The next moment, Du Weiwei, who was sitting on the horse, suddenly smacked lightly and threw forward with one hand!

The flaming tulip flag, the flagpole is like a javelin, drawing a shining curve in the sky......

This curve went over Cochran's head, and even over the heads of the thousands of cavalry behind him......

And then, far away, fell behind the column of the cavalry team of Cochrane !!

The flagpole is rooted in the ground, although it is a little crooked, but the big flag is still flying!!

Du squinted his eyes slightly, staring coldly at Cochran.

Her voice carried a trace of undisguised awe-inspiring murderous aura!

"Since the founding of my Tulip Family, no one has been able to stop us in the direction that my Tulip Battle Banner points to! The 200,000 Northwest Rebels have not done it! The Iron Cavalry of the steppe has not done it! The Orcs have not done it! The fierce Wolf Cavalry Legion has not done it! The dwarves and elves have also failed to do it! So far!!! For one hundred and forty years, no one can stop this banner!!"

Speaking of this, Du Wei looked at the "Imperial Major General" in front of him with disdain.

Her voice was very soft, so light that only the two of them could hear it, but it was full of hideous killing intent!

"As for you...... Do you want to try it?"

......

Cochran couldn't even speak.

At this moment, he seemed to be completely suppressed by some strange aura!

And Du Weiwei didn't pay attention to the imperial major general in front of him at all.

She turned, and suddenly pulled out the long sword at her waist!

With a long neigh, her fiery red war horse lifted its front hooves off the ground and got up!

Du Weiwei, who was sitting on the horse, looked at the dense cavalry queue behind her!

Her longsword pointed at the sky, then forward...... Where the tulip battle flag flies!

"Tulip warriors!!Do you see that flag!!That's where you're heading!!!"

"Towards the Tulip Banner!!"
