Chapter 19: The "Guest" from Far Away

"Squadron Leader Jenas!"

On the road, the cavalry galloped wildly, holding a team flag in their hands, and raised a circle of smoke and dust along the road paved with yellow sand.

His movements were apparently not so hidden, and a young soldier sitting in the shade of a tree spotted him from a long distance, tucked a book in his hand, and stood on a stone by the side of the road, carrying a kettle in his hand.

"Squadron Leader Jenas, there's a situation!" the cavalryman panted and rolled off his horse, saluted the officer in front of him, and said solemnly.

"Don't wear yourself out, my dear flag bearer. Jenas said with a smile, the mustache on the corner of his mouth was curled, quite chic.

Although he was not so tall and burly like the average Roman, his short pale blonde hair, mustache, and sky-blue eyes proved that he was not a purebred Roman, and that he must have had a Germanic blood relative in his ancestry.

But this doesn't have any impact on his life, and even this special appearance can attract the love of some girls because he is so special. After all, racists like Valence are still rare, and people value your character and ability more than the latter in the military.

casually threw the kettle to the flag bearer in front of him, and then sat on the side of the road. The man was not polite, he planted the flag aside, took the kettle, raised his neck and poured it into his throat in a big gulp, letting it spread on his collar, the cool water making his thirsty throat moist in an instant.

"A group of cavalry is rushing towards this side, and as far as Fang Xiangshang is concerned, they must know the exact location of Caesarea. After drinking enough, the flag bearer put the kettle back at Jenas's feet: "There is a special flag, heraldry, which should belong to a certain shili." ”

"How many are there?" asked Janas casually as he picked up the jug from his feet and took a sip.

"Four heavy cavalry, ten light cavalry, that is, only one piece of leather armor, with swords, shields, and maybe javelins but there should be none, and in terms of equipment it is more like an auxiliary unit. ”

"How can it be so clear?"

"They had a wide formation, but they were always on the same road, and two of our guys were resting and they happened to find out. Although it was cavalry, it was not equipped with weapons such as spears, and it was almost fully armed, and it did not bring any luggage, and it was not passing by. The flag bearer smiled: "So ......"

"It's the Scout Cavalry. Jenas also smiled: "Ha!

"There must be an army behind, and I'm afraid there will be no less than a thousand people in number. The flag bearer said solemnly.

"If you have heavy cavalry, it should be right. Jenas nodded: "But if it's scouting, Weishenme wants to send heavy cavalry?"

"I don't know, that's what you're thinking about. The flag officer shook his head: "I'm just telling the truth, and you have to analyze the specific situation yourself." ”

"The stupidity of the enemy is the greatest blessing of the gods!" Janus stood up and took his sword: "Okay, anyway, find a way to report this matter to Caesar and Master Mehimus, how many cavalry teams can be contacted nearby?"

"Two teams, and they're already coming this way, they'll be there soon!"

"Ten people, that's enough!" said Janus grinning in a devouring smile.

"Are you going to stop these people?" asked the flag bearer.

"Of course, otherwise I would have asked you to go back and report to Caesar. Janus looked as he should: "Or do you have to have someone to follow you to feel safe?"

Shrugged helplessly, the flag officer turned over again: "I will report the news as soon as possible, of course, I will also report the problem of your assertion truthfully!"

"Then you have to hurry!" Janus waved his hand indifferently, "Otherwise, before the higher authorities can pull me to punish the crime, Captain Belisarius will give me a medal first!"

"Driving---!!!"

The cavalry was dusting away, and Janus kept looking at him until the sound of the horses' hooves died down, when he turned his head and looked in the direction he had come, muttering to himself.

"Well, that's my job, how should I entertain these uninvited 'guests'? Perhaps, I should invite them to Caesarea for a good seat, the public bath built by Master Theodore should be a very good place to chat, and the new masseuse little sister Jishu is wonderful!"

"They're going to love it, right?"

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

Soon, almost after Jenas had finished packing his things, the two groups of cavalry arrived one after another, and after a short rest, Jenas explained the situation to the big men clearly.

"Well, here's the thing, those damn guys who dare to trespass into our territory should pay the price, and now is the time for them to pay. Jenus smiled and said, "The cost of visiting Caesarea is not cheap, if you want to bring your guys, you have to leave your life behind!"

"Captain, what are we going to do?" asked one of the cavalrymen cautiously, "I mean, what tactics are you going to use?"

"Ah, that's a good question. Janus said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Then soldier, please tell me, in which direction the enemy is?"

"This ......," the soldier pointed behind him, "over there." ”

"So how should the cavalry attack?"

"Charge, of course!"

"Is there any other road around here?"

"There is no one, there is only one way to go. ”

"Then what are you asking?!" Janus roared, "now we have only one mission, and the whole process is only three steps: find the enemy, attack the enemy, and destroy the enemy!"

"Because we are cavalry. Jenas looked around the soldiers around him: "It's not the hillbillies of the infantry wing!"

"This battle is an unauthorized operation, you may not be willing to do this, obedience to discipline is the first rule of Roman soldiers, I know, but this time is different, the enemy is prepared, no matter what he wants to do, we can't let them succeed so easily, break one of his claws, find out their details This is also one of the tasks of the investigation. ”

Jenas put on his helmet, pulled out his long sword and kissed the hilt of the sword, and then opened his eyes again: "From now on, no one is allowed to make any objections and obey orders, otherwise I will definitely kick him out of my squadron!"

"Understood-!!!"

"Draw your sword and prepare for battle!"

Eleven Roman cavalrymen, armed with their spears aloof, lined up in a neat line along the road, launched an attack on the unknown enemy.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

On a sunny day, a dozen cavalrymen in sharp armor and carrying a banner painted with a black falcon staggered along the old path.

"For the sake of an abandoned castle, you have to move people like this. The knight, who was heavily armed and armoured, drew his sword and placed it on his shoulder very casually: "Lord Boris, do you know what this is for? What logic is there in this?"

"Because they have violated the dignity of the dukes and encroached on the sacred land of the Empire, and that is what we are here for. The knight, dressed in a heraldic burqa on a tall horse, replied unpleasantly: "Insert your sword back and let the soldiers gather, for we will meet the enemy at any moment." ”

Some of the lazy knights shrugged their shoulders, put their fingers in their mouths, and blew a long, sharp whistle, which disgusted Boris even more, but had to admit that it worked well, and the cavalry, who had been scattered in a group, immediately gathered back and surrounded Boris in the middle.

"I swore allegiance to the Duke and received swords, horses, armor, privileges, and the harvest of the fiefdom. These are all things that all knights dream of, and your current battle for the adults is the only obligation you can enter. Boris gushed out a lesson: "Kill as many enemies as you can, win battles, and prove your worth to the adults, otherwise, you are ruining everything that was hard-won." ”

"Well, I just want the brothers to live more comfortably and die more clearly, and I don't want to care about the rest. The knight honestly put his sword back into its scabbard: "And who are we fighting against, a group of thieves or a lord?"

"It can only be a bunch of thieves. Boris replied in the affirmative: "Of course, these thieves are slightly different from the previous ones, but that does not change the fact that they are thieves." ”

"The roads here have been leveled, and it looks like they've even been repaired and covered with gravel as roadbeds. And we haven't encountered a group of damn bandits or robbers so far, and apparently they've also hit their counterparts in the neighborhood. Boris looked up at the road with his chin up, and analyzed to himself: "Of course, these guys must not have expected that their self-intelligent behavior made Duke Brenus detect an anomaly in one of the areas, and he would make up his mind to take it back." ”

"Ah, sir, you are very wise. The knight deliberately raised his voice and said in a strange "praise".

"I've said a long time ago that being a knight is not only about knowing how to fight, but also about reading books. Boris obviously didn't notice anything wrong, and turned his head very carelessly, and the feathers on his helmet swayed one by one.

"If you can be considered a bandit like this, then what are those fat pigs who can only bully the farmer?" said the knight to himself disdainfully, "robbers? or thugs? thugs in silk and satin, Hana is really a funny and nasty joke!"

Seeing this pretending nobleman beside him, the knight suddenly wanted to play tricks on him again: "My lord!"

"What's the matter?"

"What kind of man does you think is a nobleman?" said the knight, with a curious look: "Is it bravery, or is it omniscient?"

"You're asking the right question, as Lord Brenus's personal attendant, I can get answers to these things from my lord's actions. Boris smug and proud, and deliberately pretended to be very serious: "I have found all these things you said in adults, but these are not the most important. As a nobleman, especially a nobleman like an adult, the first thing to do is absolute justice, and the second is to have an orthodox family with a long history like an adult, and then ......"

"Stop!" the knight suddenly shouted, and Boris was shaken for a moment, but it also made him stop.

Boris, who was interrupted, stared at him angrily, his eyes as fierce as if he was about to eat people: "What do you want to do?! Don't you know the minimum morality of being a knight......

"My lord, I'm afraid your preaching will have to be put off for the time being. The knight glanced at him with a serious expression, and the murderous aura accumulated over the years made Boris feel a chill in his back, and the words in his mouth were held back again.

He gestured to one of the cavalrymen beside him, and the man immediately turned over and dismounted, and the whole person was pressed to the ground with his eyes closed, and listened carefully. After a while, he climbed up in the saddle and nodded to the knight.

"Sure enough. The knight whispered, turned his head to look at Boris: "Someone is coming, and it's a cavalryman, do you want to go back, sir?"

"Is there a lot?" Boris asked cautiously.

"It shouldn't be much. The knight nodded.

"Then what are you waiting for?!" Boris shouted excitedly, drew his sword and waved vigorously: "Rush over and kill them! Let them know the fate of daring to offend the majesty of the adults!"

"Well, follow your orders. The knight waved his hand behind him: "Everyone! draw your sword!"

"My lord, please be by my side. The knight pleaded slightly, "Just in case." ”

"Oh, okay. Boris straightened his collar: "That's it for now." ”

The cavalry consciously formed two formations - the heavy cavalry in front and the light cavalry in the rear.

Soon, their enemies came.

It was also a double formation, and it was similar in number to them, but the opponent's neat military appearance and unified equipment were really shocking, and the neat ten cavalrymen, holding their horse spears, trotted towards this side.

It was no ordinary thing - the knight sensed almost immediately that he might be meeting an opponent, his sword tightened, and the cavalry beside him began to trot.

"My lord, Lord Boris!" the knight knight turned his face to find that Boris was trembling all over, and his upper and lower teeth were shaking.

"Dry dry...... What are you doing?"

"Hehehehehe......" the knight suddenly laughed.

"No, no, no, you are not allowed to laugh! Give me me, I'll shut up!"

"Now I admire you from the bottom of my heart!" the knight said earnestly, nodding slightly at Boris: "You are a brave knight. ”

"Nonsense!"

"Brethren!!!!

Slowly accelerating, slowly accelerating, both sides began to sprint almost at the same time, like two rushing torrents, desperately rushing towards each other!

The speed of the war horse was increased to the limit by both sides in this short distance, and the neighing and the sound of the horse's hooves echoed in their ears, and it seemed that the entire shijie had been reduced to this short stretch of road.

There are no detours, no dodges, the battle between the cavalry and the cavalry is always the most fierce and turbulent, the staggering of spears and blades, the excitement of blood spraying, are just a short moment!

As if the two sides had already discussed it, the battle would be over in one round!

Soon, in just a few seconds, the two cavalry walls collided like this!

"For Glory - !!!" / "Strength and Honor - !!!"

The Roman cavalry had a huge advantage - the cavalry spears, and almost instantly the ten cavalry spears played a crisp music, accompanied by heart-rending screams and blood sprays!

The storm stopped.

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

Boris, who was tied up like a twisted flower, passed out on the side of the road, his face covered in blood and mud. Janus clutched his shoulders and sat on the ground - he made the knight slash hard.

"It's amazing to put down my two brothers by yourself!" Janus tilted his face to look at the knight who was also tied, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching: "Tell me?

"Call me Bode. The knight looked at him with a smile: "If I could do it again, my brothers would definitely be even better!"

"I believe it!" Janus nodded, if it weren't for the fact that the other party didn't ride a gun, this one wouldn't have been so simple.

"Can you tell me who you are?" Bode glanced at Boris, who had fainted next to him, "so that I can know who I lost!"

"Hah!" Jenas grinned, "Brothers, tell this one, who are you?!"

"We are invincible Roman legions - !!!Long live Rome - !!!"
