Chapter 184 Pocket Encounter (3)
Earl Fran is tired of running away. He is alone and has no hope. It is like losing the sun, and the world is dark.
So Count Fran turned his horse's head, drew his sword and shouted:
"I am not an excellent lord, but I am a lord loyal to the king. My knights, I do not ask you to follow me to hell, but please remember that the Demon Kingdom of Avarus will never fall!"
He tried to ride his horse across the ford and came face to face with the oncoming cavalry.
Even if he only killed one person, he fought to the end as the lord of the Demon Kingdom of Avarus, and he did not let the oath he swore in front of His Majesty the King bring to shame.
The cavalrymen who had already started to escape saw the lord turning, and they pulled the reins without hesitation and hurried to follow.
Earl Fran believes that he is not perfect as a lord, but his subordinates do not think so. There will definitely be no shortage of knights supporting him beside this lord who is ready to die.
They shouted "For the Kingdom" and followed the lord's footsteps. Even if death was so close, it was not enough to scare away the iron will of the knights.
The team turned around quickly, the horses' hooves tapping against the watery rocks. For a moment, the momentum was even stronger than that of the incoming cavalry.
But at this moment, an arrow broke through the rain and struck Count Fran on his left arm.
The strong force directly pulled Count Fran off his horse. He rolled in the foreshore and his helmet was thrown off.
"My Lord Count!"
The knights under him quickly helped him up. At this time, Count Fran's head was bruised by the pebbles and was bleeding. With water stains all over his body, he looked particularly embarrassed.
His sword fell into the water just above his feet, and a corner of the blade was chipped off.
Are you going to take away even my last dignity as a lord?
On the nearby hillside, Isaac, who had put away his long bow, looked at Count Fran kneeling in the water and was actually a little unbearable.
For a warrior who was prepared to die, he took away his glory. This kind of behavior was the most despised by Isaac.
But this is not a competition on the school field, but a war.
He remembered what his grandfather said to him.
There is no glory in war.
"Tell the other cavalry teams to hurry up, this will be the end of Earl Fran."
Seeing that Isaac was in a bad mood, the messenger nodded and went to deliver the message. The heavy rain prevented the cavalry from advancing rapidly. At present, they have only driven Count Fran to the predetermined position. The troops on hand alone cannot quickly eliminate Count Fran. troops, it would be even more difficult to capture him alive.
Yes, although he couldn't bear it, he didn't intend to change his plan.
If there was no war, Isaac would enjoy associating with people like Count Fran, and maybe they would become friends.
But in war, everything must be based on the will of the country as the highest criterion. Earl Fran is willing to dedicate himself to the country, and Isaac is also willing to dedicate everything to his beloved motherland.
Even if it’s your own conscience.
——Hush!
The neighing of the horses echoed in the valley. It was incredible, because there were all cavalry below, and the horses' neighing should be mixed together. But this neighing sound was as eye-catching as a ray of sunshine piercing the dark clouds.
Immediately afterwards, Isaac saw a man and a horse walking through the thick mist in the distance. He immediately saw the eye-catching rose pattern on the man's armor, saw the man's short hair as red as blood, and saw her clearly. face.
"Princess Viola?! Impossible, absolutely impossible! Hasn't the canyon road been blocked long ago?"
The position surrounding Earl Fran is indeed not far from the canyon road leading to Leon's territory, but this only land passage was blown up by Viola herself a few months ago, even with the full strength of the Subia Demon Kingdom army It would take several months of digging to barely pass the carriage, and it would not be possible to get through it normally and smoothly in a short time.
This is why the four-nation coalition knew that Viola was in the territory of Leon, but they did not attack Huanglong by land. After all, they had time to dig through the canyon, so they might as well capture the other lords who had not yet surrendered.
Viola, who should not and could not be here, was reflected in Isaac's retina.
But after a brief moment of consternation, Isaac fell into ecstasy.
Capturing Earl Fran would at most mean capturing the Half-Moon Castle that had been too lazy to attack. It was just the icing on the cake, and it didn't make much difference whether it was different or not.
But if you catch Viola, it will be different. Not only can they play the same game as Boss Cao and control the princes, but if the Subia Demon Kingdom is more ruthless, they can also let Viola marry their own prince and legitimately annex the entire Avarus Demon Kingdom.
As for whether Viola is willing?
That's not her decision.
"Quickly, let the First Cavalry below turn around. Don't fight Viola head-on and seduce her to chase her. Then send a message to the Third Cavalry, asking them to advance at full speed and mobilize the Fourth Cavalry as an ambush from the right. Move forward and attack sideways!"
Due to the existence of something as unscientific as magic, it was clearly a war in the cold weapon age of the Middle Ages, but it was able to achieve short-distance communication between modern and modern armies.
Isaac issued a series of orders, but within a few seconds, the messenger ran back with a look of disbelief on his face:
"Report from the Fourth Cavalry!"
"Is the Fourth Cavalry moving in?"
"No, the Fourth Cavalry was attacked by unknown troops and is fighting fiercely."
"What?"
"Report, the 3rd Cavalry was raided, what should the general do?"
"Report, the 2nd Cavalry encountered unknown enemy forces three kilometers away and is trying to escape."
The series of reports made Isaac confused. He quickly opened the map. This situation was not written on the map at all.
"Could it be that I was the one who fell into the trap?"
–‐‐——–‐‐——
In the canyon road about two kilometers away from the river beach, Wendy was standing in front of the sand table.
"The shape of a soldier is like water. The shape of water avoids heights and tends to go down. The shape of soldiers avoids reality and attacks the weak. Water controls the flow based on the ground, and soldiers win based on the enemy. Therefore, soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape; energy can be controlled by the ground. He who changes his enemy and wins is called a god."
She reached out and picked up a chess piece and placed it on the sand table:
"There are so many miraculous creations in the divine world where your Majesty resides, but I never expected that there would be such an incisive argument."
"You'd better speak in translation, it's too troublesome for me to understand."
Aldai, who stood aside, seemed reluctant.
If it was a mechanical design, Aldai would be very interested. The art of war was not her specialty.
"I know you don't understand, but I just want to see your troubled look. It's cool. It's considered revenge."
“…..”
When she was a child, Aldai would often whisper in Wendy's ears with esoteric magic theories, but now she finally found the opportunity to torture her.
"You are so vindictive."
"Please call me a great memory."
Wendy gently held her temples, as if listening carefully.
"Yeah, don't complain, come to work, let Zola's team move along the river, where they can block an enemy cavalry, tell her that there is no need to annihilate, just let them flee in confusion, and then call Snow Lai's troops turned southwest to intercept the enemy's attempt to regroup."
"I think there is something wrong with your use of resources. I am a high-level mage..."
"Send the message quickly. Don't forget that your Majesty said that you must cooperate with me fully."
Aldai reluctantly pursed her lips, but still sent the order through the communication technique.
Looking at the sand table, especially the most eye-catching red chess piece on the sand table, Wendy looked particularly excited.
"The grandson of the Tiger of the Kingdom and the granddaughter of the Lion General really have a sense of fate. Hey, let me see if you are worthy of being my opponent!"
