Chapter 244 Meeting
After bypassing the phalanx of Alda’s army, Derrick led the family knights and stopped not far away.
After taking a short rest, they planned to return to the phalanx of their allies to help in the battle. Although the Arda army had uniform banners and looked well-trained, they were all infantry after all and were still too passive in the face of the high-speed moving cavalry.
Just leaving his allies behind and running away, Derrick asked himself whether he could do such a thing.
Before they could take a breath, a heart-wrenching scene happened. Two cavalry units of the Kent family, one on the left and one on the right, charged fiercely at the Arda army.
When many people began to pray for the friendly forces, something surprising happened.
A sound like exploding beans sounded, followed by a burst of thick smoke, and a large number of the Kent family cavalry who attacked the phalanx fell instantly. .
It’s so amazing that the cavalry were hit by something before they even threw their spears. Obviously, the invisible thing could cause fatal damage to them, because the number of people who fell to the ground was large. Some of them couldn't even stand up.
Only a few lucky people threw their spears, causing some casualties to Arda's army, but the entire phalanx did not loosen at all.
Derrick and his knights stared blankly as the offensive of another group of Kent family cavalry was easily defused by friendly forces, and then the two sides faced off.
It wasn't until the artillery roared like thunder that they woke up from their sluggish state.
“Quick! Join the Arda people!”
Derrick put his horse’s belly under his arms and led the knights towards the phalanx.
......
"Dear friends from Alda, I am Viscount Derrick Heller, son of Earl Winifred Heller. Who is your highest official here? person in charge.”
Hearing Derrick announce his name, Bryce adjusted his collar, raised his chest and raised his head and responded loudly: "I am Lieutenant Colonel Bryce Alder, commander of the 1st Battalion of the Alda Infantry. He commanded this army in the name of Count Lyman.”
Derrick jumped off his horse and walked quickly towards Bryce, and the soldiers made way for him.
The two held their hands tightly together.
"Alder... Lieutenant Colonel, thank you for rescuing us from the Kent family. On behalf of the Heller family, I would like to pay tribute to the Gleyman family and to you and your men."
"It is natural for friendly forces to help each other. On behalf of Earl Grayman, I also pay tribute to the Heller family."
The two exchanged polite greetings. Bryce had served as Alda's military director when he was old Grayman. Derrick had heard his name several times and knew that the other person was just a "wild knight". Based on Derrick's character as the son of an earl, he would always be polite to such civilians, but today he was saved by the other party, and he was unknowingly polite.
“Are the weapons you used to defeat the cavalry the legendary ‘Fire Crossbow’ and ‘Thunder Hammer’?”
Although he endured it again and again, Derrick still couldn’t help it. Asked aloud. Such a powerful weapon would definitely be regarded as an important military secret by the other party. Just now he had been debating whether to ask or not, for fear of causing the other party's displeasure.
"Firebolt? Thunder hammer? The name is quite vivid. Indeed, Viscount Heller, we officially relied on them to defeat the Kent family's cavalry."
Derrick asked further : "This...can I touch it?"
Bryce understood Derrick's thoughts at this moment, but still showed a troubled expression. Firearms are the greatest reliance of Arda's army.
"Sorry, I shouldn't be so abrupt. Everyone, let me lead the way to the station!"
Derrick quickly changed the subject.
“Then it’s time to work!”
Bryce ordered the troops to gather up and get back on the road. The speed of Alda’s army gathering once again surprised Derrick and his knights—— They blew the bugle, and everyone quickly found their position as if they had rehearsed it many times in advance. In less than 20 minutes, a neat marching column was formed. ……
When Bryce and others followed Derrick close to the station, the armies of other lords in the coalition had just finished their battle with the Kent family army. There was a melee between the two sides, and no one got any advantage.
“What a stupid battle we fought today!”
The officers complained to each other, and the morale of the team was even lower.
The two teams met halfway.
"Derrick! You are still alive! I thought."
Earl Malkan exclaimed when he saw Derrick.
"God bless you, otherwise how should we explain to your father."
Although the content of the words was thankful, the tone was full of ridicule.
“I retreated to the north after breaking through!”
Derrick looked ashamed, "Sorry for causing trouble to everyone!"
Earl Parker rode over and said, "We will sum up today's events after we get back. Who is this?"
< br>He had recognized the flag of the Graiman family, turned to the leader Bryce and asked.
Bryce bowed forward.
"Bryce Alder, on the orders of Count Greyman, has led his army to join you all. You must be Count Price Kent, right? Say hello to you on behalf of my lord."
"Yes, I am Price Parker. You are here just in time. Our war with the Kent family is about to begin, and we need a new force like you."
Earl Parker saw this team from Alda The military appearance is regular and does not look like a random soldier at all. It is true that I am secretly happy that Ragleman has joined the group.
So the two armies cooperated and returned to the village where they were stationed.
After arriving at the station, Bryce discovered that it was originally a village, but there were no villagers in it. They all hid in the lord's castle before the coalition forces arrived.
Looking to the west of the village, a castle suddenly comes into view. This is Bido Castle. Although the castle is not large, it is located on a high cliff. There is only a narrow road leading to its east side. , so dangerous, no wonder the coalition forces were unable to attack it for a long time. However, the way out of the castle was also blocked by the coalition forces.
Although the village is not small, there are six to seven thousand coalition forces, and the houses have long been divided by the troops who arrived first. The Alda army can only camp in an open space to the north of the village.
Bryce ordered the two deputy battalion commanders to direct the soldiers to set up camp and bury pots for cooking. Before we had time to eat lunch today, we had a fierce battle with the Kent family. During the battle, everyone was so nervous that they temporarily forgot about hunger. However, after the battle, they were even more hungry than before.
He and Joyce were invited to attend a military meeting to discuss future battle plans. The two hurriedly ate a few biscuits and walked to the largest room in the center of the village, which was originally the The village chief's house is now used as a conference room by the coalition forces.
"Welcome! Everyone from Arda!"
As soon as he entered the door, he heard Derrick's voice.
Sorry for the two-day hiatus. I have been quite busy, and recently I have been working on two projects. I was asked to work overtime again today. I would like to express my gratitude to you readers once again: this book will definitely not be a eunuch!
