Chapter 25 A Hanging Heart



They could completely heal their wounds, discard their weapons and fight again, but now, time waits for no one, and before their wounds are fully healed, they have to pick up their axes and fight the enemy to the death.

On the other hand, although King Yarogerk's army came in a hurry and walked for a day, they had suffered certain physical losses, but they had not experienced a battle. Saiga Khan of the Khergit Khanate fled from the battlefield, or he implemented a policy of strategic transfer, which made King Yarogerk return without a battle. King Ragnar is now fighting against an elite army with a tired army.

Moreover, the other side had a powerful general like Kadoc, and King Ragnar knew that he had little chance of winning, so he specially sent people to the other side of the river to support him, so that he could escape if he was defeated. As long as they crossed the river north of Kulau City, no one could stop them.

Kadoc was the first to bear the brunt. He knew that King Ragnar had the courage to send soldiers to fight them outside the city, which meant that they must be very guilty. In order to bluff, King Ragnar had to send a group of people to the front to die. After all, in order to show the strength of their army, it was necessary to line up outside the city. At least for King Ragnar, this was necessary.

In fact, King Ragnar is now in a panic. He is not too concerned about tactical command because he already knows that this battle is bound to be a failure. It is indeed a difficult problem to deal with a figure like Kadok. If he can find another owner of the Evil Sword Baxue, then there will be a chance to defeat Kadok.

Or use other methods. Everyone knows that the owner of the Evil Sword Baxue is a man who likes killing. Such a person is definitely not a loyal subordinate. If there is a chance, he can be instigated to rebel, causing Kadok and King Yarogerk to become enemies. Then he can sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the tigers, wait for them to both suffer losses, and then send troops again to reap the benefits.

This was a good idea, but King Ragnar was too impatient. When he sent out his troops, he originally wanted to divide the Vaegir Kingdom equally with the Khergit Khanate. However, Sega Khan did not play by the rules and actually fled from the battlefield. He had no intention of continuing to advance. Perhaps he did not want to continue fighting with Kadok after seeing him.

King Ragnar had no choice but to send out his better troops as the vanguard to fight a fierce battle with the army under King Yarogerk.

In fact, this could not be called a great battle at all, because Kadoc, a subordinate of King Yarogerk, leaped forward and attacked, and alone scared a group of Nord soldiers so much that they fled in panic.

I saw Kadoc below the city holding his evil sword, Bloodthirsty. The sword was simply a giant sword, and the red face was a reflection of this evil sword.

A deep chill emanated from the evil sword, causing people to shudder. The Nord soldiers were actually very afraid of the chill on Kadoc's sword. This was an instinctive fear, but the Nord soldiers had to obey orders. For their King Ragnar, they moved forward with difficulty. Kadoc stood alone in front of a group of Nord soldiers. the Kingdom of Vaegir, he could show off his skills and enjoy this happiness alone.

Kadoc wielded the evil sword Bloodthirster in his hand. In a moment, blood flowed like a river and corpses were everywhere. Dozens of Nord soldiers were chopped into pieces. Washing off a piece of blood was like a knife cutting tofu, and those Nord soldiers were tofu. No matter how good the armor on the soldiers was, it was just like paper. the Nord soldiers dyed the battlefield red. The remaining Nord soldiers seemed to dare not take a step forward and could only watch their companions being slaughtered by Kadoc.

King Ragnar could hardly believe his eyes. He had originally estimated Kadok's fighting strength, but he did not expect that the scene would be so shocking when he saw Kadok wielding the evil sword Bloodthirster in his hand this year. If King Ragnar had another choice, King Ragnar would definitely not want to fight Kadok head-on. The best plan should be to use side attack to make Kadok and King Yarogelk turn against each other, and then he could reap the benefits.

Soon, King Ragnar ordered his soldiers to withdraw because their goal was completely failed. King Ragnar originally wanted to bluff and scare King Yarogerk, but he did not expect to be defeated by Kadok.

Everyone will face failure, just like when King Ragnar and King Yarogerk led their armies at the same time and were defeated by O'Donil. At that time, the Kingdom of Swadia was surrounded by enemies, but still defeated King Ragnar under the leadership of O'Donil.

At this moment, King Ragnar was defeated by Kadoc again. When King Ragnar announced that he would withdraw his Nord soldiers to Kulau, Kadoc took advantage of the victory and pursued them. He had not enjoyed enough, so he climbed up the wall with a siege ladder. The Nord soldiers wanted to push Kadoc's ladder down, but they found that Kadoc's strength was far beyond that of ordinary people, and his climbing speed was as fast as that of a monkey, which was simply incomparable to ordinary people. The word "monster" immediately appeared in the minds of the Nord soldiers, and they did not want to confront this monster head-on.

Kadok carried the evil sword Baxue on his back, and his monkey-like skills enabled him to quickly climb the city wall of Kulau City. On the wall, another feast of killing was waiting for him. King Yarogelk nodded at this point and praised Kadok's fighting strength. This was one of the reasons why Kadok defeated their army. When King Yarogelk and Kadok were enemies, King Yarogelk also faced deep despair. But now the situation has changed, and it is time to let the enemies of King Yarogelk have a taste of Kadok's strength.

Therefore, King Yarogerk was extremely happy and ordered his army to launch an attack. It was simply a pressure-free war. Those Nord soldiers were slaughtered by him like tofu. All this was because of the joining of Kadoc. At this time, King Yarogerk turned his eyes to Count Daigran. For Count Daigran, what kind of expression did he have for having such a good son?

King Yarogerk saw the dramatic scene. Count Daeglana, who was surrounded by Swaadian knights, did not show the slightest joy on his face. This made King Yarogerk puzzled. Was she not happy to have such a good son who was good at fighting? Or was he used to his son's brave performance?

In fact, for the current Count Dagran, he is more and more worried about his son's current situation. If he had seen his son's powerful performance in the past, he would have felt somewhat relieved, but the longer time passed, the more he felt that his son could not stay there. His appearance only slowed down the speed of the Swadia Kingdom's demise a little.

Earl Degran was worried that his son would do something bad to him. If he, as a father, was killed by Cadoc one day, Earl Degran thought that this was not impossible. He was afraid that his son would kill him.

King Ragnar on the city wall was under strict protection, with Farrington guarding him closely. Nisbet also stood beside King Ragnar with his own axe. Now Nisbet didn't want to go forward to fight. Originally, Nisbet was also a person who liked fighting, but compared with Cadok, Nisbet's fighting will was simply not worth mentioning. The two of them were like the sun and the firefly. The light they emitted was not comparable at all.

At this moment, the most important thing is to protect King Ragnar honestly. It is not only to protect King Ragnar, but more importantly to protect your own life. For some reason, Nisbet felt that his courage was also frightened.

Even a general like Nisbet was frightened, not to mention the other generals. The lords who followed Ragnar Guang also felt fear at this moment. Although they had rich combat experience and were all old men who had fought in hundreds of battles, they were all frightened by Kadok at this moment. Before they attacked, these old lords had done some homework and had a detailed discussion on the origin of the Evil Sword Tyrant Blood. Those lords knew that the former owners of the Evil Sword Tyrant Blood were all bloodthirsty people. They had only heard of lust and alcoholism.

But at this moment, they also gained some experience, seeing a man who was bloodthirsty. Killing seemed to be born for him.

The sound of his breathing was enough to strike fear into his enemies.

His wild laughter frightened everyone present. The soldiers of the Kingdom of Vaegir who were preparing to attack the city slowed down their movements after hearing Kadoc's wild laughter. The Nord soldiers who were supposed to resist the soldiers of the Kingdom of Vaegir did not want to do anything at this moment. If King Ragnar was not still here, they would have long lost control of their bodies and would have stayed away from Kadoc. This was their body's instinct, and this was their will to escape from danger.

But now, King Ragnar has not ordered a retreat. In fact, Ragnar knows that it is almost hopeless to fight with Kadoc. Now he is looking for a gap, a gap where all his troops can escape. If he goes back alone, what troops can defend his homeland? Even if the Kingdom of Vaegir does not attack, King Gryphus of the Kingdom of Rhodok may gather a large army to attack again. The last attack may be his negligence, but when he gathers a large army again, what can he use to defend? The troops led by the younger generation of lords are limited. It will take a long time to reorganize this elite division led by him. They must not let all their lives be lost here.

King Ragnar's eyes were always looking for an opportunity to escape, and some other lords were also calculating in their hearts that a head-on confrontation with Kadoc was obviously not a good idea.

Looking at the corpses of dozens of Nord soldiers killed by Kadoc, none of these corpses were intact, all were chopped into pieces by Kadoc. At the same time, more and more Nord soldiers did not want to fight with Kadoc. Fear had gradually buried all their will.

At this point, King Ragnar knew that he would not be able to defeat Kadoc if he continued like this. He had been looking for an opportunity to escape from Kadoc. This was simply a huge joke. Kadoc alone could cause the entire Nordic army to collapse. If this were to get out, it would really undermine the dignity of the Nordic Kingdom. But this was the fact. Not only that, anyone on the continent would feel strange.

Because Kadoc was too strong, and Saiga Khan also fled without a fight, right? Compared with Saiga Khan, King Ragnar was even better. After all, King Ragnar dared to fight Kadoc. If Saiga Khan came, he would probably have fled in just one round.

King Ragnar turned around and said to the guards around him: "How are the people by the river preparing? Will there be enough opportunities for us to escape from here?"

"Your Majesty, everything is ready, just waiting for your order. As long as you swear, I guarantee that our ships can allow everyone to cross the river. As long as they cross the river, no one can stop us." The guard said confidently. King Ragnar has placed all his hopes on that fleet. If he does not escape, he may be caught by Kadoc. However, according to Kadoc's character, once King Ragnar is caught, death will be waiting for him.

Therefore, King Ragnar never prayed to survive Kadok's hands. Now it was King Ragnar's responsibility as a king to make his troops survive Kadok's clutches on his own. This elite army of his must not be wiped out here. According to King Ragnar's expectations, Sega Khan would surely continue to attack the Kingdom of Vaegir. Now that Kadok was not in Dheerim, this was the best time for Sega Khan to seize Dheerim.

Everything is waiting for the situation to change. King Ragnar will also start preparing to deal with Kadoc. In history, the owner of the evil sword Overlord Blood will also be defeated. No one is invincible, at least there is no such person in the historical records. There are only victorious generals, but no completely victorious generals.

King Ragnar waved his hand and said, "Everyone, listen to my command. Split into several groups and escape secretly. Be careful and make sure the enemy cannot discover our whereabouts."

King Ragnar's escape plan this time must not be discovered by the enemy, so he told his men to act cautiously. Because King Yarogelk was in a hurry and had a general like Kadok, King Yarogelk did not surround the city of Kulau from beginning to end. He only stationed troops in the south of the city of Kulau. This means that King Ragnar now has three directions to escape. For King Ragnar, the most perfect escape plan is to escape towards the river in the north, cross the river and then move westward to return to his kingdom.

Soon, after a group of Nord soldiers were sacrificed, most of them had left the city of Kulau. King Yarogelk did not notice this situation at all. He was watching Kadok's performance with great interest. Although Kadok's cruel methods made King Yarogelk extremely frightened at first, after experiencing one or two battles, King Yarogelk no longer had any aversion to Kadok's cruel methods.

All this was because Kadok had joined his camp. Now the enemies Kadok was killing were the enemies of King Yarogelk. How could he not feel happy when he saw his enemies dying painfully on the battlefield?

"King Yarogerk, our scouts suddenly discovered that King Ragnar has led his troops to escape, and now the Nord soldiers in the city of Kulau are the last ones to escape." A scout suddenly ran over and said to King Yarogerk. This news came too late. After all, King Ragnar and his lords had already fled. King Yarogerk could no longer prepare to pursue King Ragnar.

"What?" King Yarogerk's tone was filled with surprise and doubt, but after thinking about it calmly, King Yarogerk suddenly realized the mistake of this war. In fact, King Yarogerk should have surrounded the city of Kulau, but now King Yarogerk made a fatal mistake. He only surrounded one side of the city of Kulau and left three sides empty, so King Ragnar had enough opportunities to escape.

"Humph! You coward, you run away like this, Kadoc will definitely kill you all." King Yarogerk simply sneered at King Ragnar's behavior. But now he didn't have enough time to continue chasing King Ragnar. After all, Ikkyu had to accept the city of Kulau first. According to the original agreement, he still had to return the original lord of this place, Mamunboye.

Kadoc has killed the last Nord soldier. He has killed nearly one hundred Nord soldiers. These soldiers died in the battlefield to cover their large army. There should not have been such casualties. King Ragnar should not have been so brave as to fight Kadoc. He should have just escaped like Khan Sega. This is the best way to preserve his strength for the next war.

Soon, King Yarogelk took over the city of Kuraw, and all the soldiers of the Kingdom of Vigia who were imprisoned in the city were released, including Voldratboye and his knights.

"Voldratboye, first of all I want to thank you. It is because of your heroic fighting that we were able to delay King Ragnar's army until our army returned to our homeland. However, I think you still made some mistakes in the command of the war. After all, the city of Kulau was still taken away by King Ragnar, wasn't it?" King Yarogelk called him over as soon as he released Voldratboye and questioned him severely. In fact, for King Yarogelk, he almost felt that he had reached the peak of his life. Since the birth of Kadok, King Yarogelk seemed to be arrogant. The victory of this war was too easy.

"Your Majesty, all this is due to my mistake. Your Majesty is the one who is brave and powerful. You defeated King Ragnar without any effort. Not only did you take back the city of Kulau, but you also destroyed the elite army of Ragnar the Fox King. Your Majesty, you are truly the most wise king on the continent of Calradia." Coach Voldratboye said that things had come to this point, so he had no choice but to flatter King Yarogerk first.

King Yarogelk couldn't help but feel elated when he heard this. He loved these words now. These flattering words sounded so comfortable in his ears. All this laid the groundwork for his future failure.

At this moment, King Ragnar, who would give King Yarogerk a heavy blow in the future, was on the run. Most of the soldiers of the Nord Kingdom were infantry, which meant that their marching speed was relatively slow. When their scouts discovered that King Yarogerk did not send pursuers to pursue him, King Ragnar finally let go of his worry.
