Between Hurricane Castle and Star City, a tower city called Guanting became the road after all. However, there were only a few sentries observing the movement of the grasslands. In the event of a foreign invasion, all they need to do is light the torch on the tower and send the signal to Hurricane Castle and Star City.

After the Aika army's army entered Star City, Byron had all the soldiers repair for two days before Barton walked the news of the fall of Star City. And the elite infantry of the Aika family led by Patton had already gone to ambush in the hills of the Guanting generation. Byron took Geraint and Joshua to the front with him.

When they arrived at the hills on the outskirts of the court, they found that there was also a huge camp in the north of the court, and the familiar banner was waving in the wind - the crescent flag of the Baines family, and the area around the hurricane castle was originally the fief of the famous nobles of the Reims kingdom, the Baines family. They were all vassals of the royal family, and they were all princes of the southern part of the northern steppe. It's just that now the fortifications around the court have been removed, and the people of the Baines family have scattered in all directions, because the Five Dragons Knights have begun to take over the deployment of various military points. The Baines family is now sparsely populated, with only a few hundred private armed men guarding the Hurricane Castle, and the elders of the Baines family think that being a simple nobleman is very satisfying. If the family is too strong, it will inevitably be suspicious of the royal family.

From a distance, they saw something dark swaying along the road outside the wall, and as they got closer, they realized that it was the reinforcements of Fort Hurricane. Obviously, the news that the Aika family had raised the anti-flag and attacked the city of Stars had reached the neighborhood.

"Looks like they've learned the news of the fall of Star City. Barton commented.

"Looking at the appearance of their troops, they were prepared very hastily. Geraint said pleasantly.

"It looks like it's going to be a battle again," Joshua joked.

The troops of Hurricane Castle are under the banner of the Black Dragon and Red Dragon Knights, but they are certainly not the generals of the Knights. Therefore, their combat experience and combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the knights at all. The infantry brought by Patton also spotted the enemy's flag early and was waiting for them to approach to launch a general attack.

The leader of the group was a knight on a tall horse, who was supposed to be an executive from the Floating City, accompanied by three of his subordinates - a big-bellied leader, a sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked steward, and a knight who resembled the captain of the guard, who was a large bald head. The three of them were completely lazy and lackluster, and they looked like they were ineffective.

Patton wore an ochre-red cape, and his armor was embroidered with the coat of arms of the Aika family. From his countenance, it appeared that he had not cultivated a beard since crossing the northern grasslands, and that his brown beard covered his chin. "After this fight, it's time for me to go back and fix my beard. ”

"Haha, you're right, General Patton. If your belly is a little fatter, it will match your chin better. Joshua laughed.

"There's no news from the Great Wall. It seems that Sir Collick did help us convince the defenders of the Wall to stay put. However, as long as we deal a heavy blow to the reinforcements of Hurricane Fort first, even if the defenders of the Great Wall change their minds, it will not pose any threat to us. Byron said.

As long as the defenses around Star City are consolidated, then everyone's plan is half complete. The products around Star City are relatively the most abundant in the area of the Great Wall, and even if the supplies are not available, the Aika family can send people from Flame Chasing City to cross the northern grasslands for resources, although this is a bit far, but it is enough to reach Star City before the resources are exhausted.

When the reinforcements from Hurricane Castle entered the ambush circle, Barton waved his hand and said, "Warriors of the Aika family, show your fighting enthusiasm. The enemy army in front of you is no threat, and it will collapse at the first touch, so get ready to charge!"

"Understood!" shouted the infantrymen in unison. "Teach these noble lords a good lesson. ”

"Parsa's failure to send the top generals of the Order to command here was his biggest mistake. Byron said.

"The whole army charged. Barton gave the order. Geraint helped Joshua onto his horse, and the rest of the group immediately drew their weapons and charged.

"What's going on, where are the enemy troops coming from?" the horn of the charge sounded, and the troops of Fort Hurricane were thrown into disarray. The bald horseman in the lead was even more shocked.

"Oh no. The big-bellied head on the side shouted loudly. The purple banner of the Aika family appeared in front of them. Due to the narrow road on the hill leading to Star City on the outskirts of the court, these soldiers were immediately at a loss. "What are we going to do, it's too narrow here, we've been completely cut off from front and back by the enemy. The manager shouted.

"Damn, the enemy is aggressive, let's get out of here, it's useless to have too many people here!" said the captain of the guard.

"The question is where do we retreat?" shouted the bald horseman.

"I'll lead a group of people to break through from the west and retreat directly into the viewing court. You come to defend the rear. "The head of the sect built yì road.

Of course, these tactics can only be flashed in their minds. "Damn, the team is completely chaotic, don't listen to the command, everyone run for their lives!"

"I didn't expect the rebels to be so combative. The bald head looked surprised. "What a Black Dragon Knights, they were defeated and defeated, and if we don't run for our lives, we will become the substitutes of the Knights. ”

The ambush battle was still raging, the soldiers of the Aika family let out a frantic cry, the morale of the troops was extremely high, and victory was only a matter of time.

Byron knew that after the battle, hundreds of new graves would be added next to the court. After all, the purpose of this ambush is to destroy the living forces of Hurricane Fort, so it is unlikely that they will show mercy.

Seeing the red-eyed soldier of the Aika family, the bald knight's heart tightened. "I thought that taking the army of Hurricane Castle to rescue Star City would increase the merit, but now my life is going to be put into it. ”

"The soldiers didn't listen to us and fled for their lives. The manager said in a panic. "Let's surrender, the road behind is cut off by the enemy. ”

"We surrender...... Don't kill us......" The bald horseman hurriedly raised his hands and frowned. God forbid, don't ask for our names these rebels.

"Everyone, lay down their arms and stop putting up fearless resistance. "The Governor called for surrender.

After all, the soldiers of these knights were only nominally subordinate to the Five Dragons Knights, and in fact they had not been guided by any of the core members of the Five Dragons Knights. Seeing that the defeat was decided, everyone threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground to pray for mercy.

Patton also wanted to end the battle as soon as possible: "Everyone unarmed the enemy, the leaders were brought to us, and the rest were escorted to Star City. Soon the skinhead was escorted to Byron and Patton along with three of his retinue.

"Lords, spare your lives!" begged the bald knight as he knelt before them. "We were also ordered to exterminate the rebels. Now that you have won, forgive us people. ”

"How dare you say that the king's army is a rebel?" Patton laughed, then pointed to Joshua who was riding behind Byron, "You eyes are wide open, this child in front of you is the current king." We are on the king's behest, the real culprit, Parsa. ”

"What...... The king is here? We are so stupid to say such a rebellious thing. The bald horseman hurriedly turned to Joshua's side, "Great King, please forgive us ignorant lives. ”

"Get up, we didn't want to kill you!" Joshua laughed.

"Thank you, merciful king!" replied the bald knight with trepidation, but kept his head bowed and did not dare to get up.

"Hey, what's your name, big bald?" Barton asked suddenly.

"I ...... They all call me the bald Benjamin Knight......"

"Knight Benjamin, well, we can spare your name, but you have to do something for us. Byron stepped forward and said.

"For His Majesty the King, I am willing to do a hundred things. "The bald horseman is not bad at slapping his horse.

"I want you to quickly spread the news of the fall of Star City and the destruction of the defenders of Hurricane Castle to the south......" Byron nodded, "Now that the main forces of the White Dragon and Red Dragon Knights are in the area of Riverrun, you should quickly let them come to support, after all, Floating City has been exposed to danger." ”
