In fact, Walls wanted to attract their attention and inform them that if they came down from the rope, they would not be threatened in the short term.
The army was defeated like a landslide. The battle between Hook and Aileyen had reached a white-hot stage. At this point in the battle, Aileyen was familiar with Hook's fighting methods, and for a moment Aileyen had the upper hand. Hook realized that things were not good. Count Matras had not issued any orders, and the troops had not been called up. They had been guarding their original posts without cooperating with each other. Thinking of this, Count Matras must have been captured. Hook secretly speculated and decided to retreat first.
"That's all for today. I can see that you have the upper hand. If I stay here any longer, I will definitely die. The next time we meet, I will fight you to the death."
After leaving these harsh words, Poison Hook left the battlefield at an extremely fast speed, and Airen did not continue to pursue him. This time the victory was too narrow. Although Airen was already familiar with Poison Hook's combat methods, he still had to fight with his physical strength if he wanted to continue to defeat Poison Hook.
Du Hook had already escaped, and seeing the enemy generals gradually crowding towards him, Huanbian, Shuangsha, and Huodao also fled.
Elwin and Embleton had been injured when fighting against Fireblade. Fireblade had good martial arts and steadily suppressed Elwin and Embleton. The two could no longer continue fighting. Although Elwin and Embleton did not participate in the battle, the situation was still in the hands of Wals. The Rhodok soldiers were scattered without command, fighting here and there, unable to organize into an effective resistance force. Wals took command, like a god of war, and quickly commanded the Nord soldiers to reap the lives of the Rhodok soldiers like harvesting wheat.
When the last resistance fighter passed away, the Nord soldiers held high the white unicorn flag and planted it on the tallest building in Viruga, which meant that the city now belonged to the Nordic Kingdom.
After capturing Viruga, Walls urgently ordered his soldiers to rest. The next target was the territory of King Gryphus, which was the capital of the Rhodok Kingdom, Jelkala.
A part of the remnants of Viruga's defeated troops gradually moved southward. Among them, Drewry, Fire Knife, Illusion, Poison Hook, and Double Kill were also in this group. They were originally generals of the Rhodok Kingdom. After Count Mateas was captured, they led the troops and wanted to escape to the territory of King Gryphus.
King Griffus has not been idle in recent days. He has recruited groups of farmers from his own fields. These farmers, who make a living by farming, have average physical fitness. Because they do not have sufficient nutrition to build their strong physiques, their combat effectiveness is low. In addition, the weapons and equipment equipped by King Griffus are extremely simple. Therefore, King Griffus can only recruit an army with low combat effectiveness but large numbers in recent days.
He was planning to retake Viruga, but the news spread quickly. When Drewry led the other four generals and a part of the remnants who escaped from Viruga, King Griffith knew that he had to adjust his strategy from offense to defense.
However, after only a few days of rest, the impatient Walls had already assembled all his troops. After the battle of Viruga, there were only more than a thousand troops left.
The spies in Jelkala have provided Wals with enough intelligence that King Gryphus is at the end of his rope. Most of the soldiers are ordinary farmers who have just been recruited from the fields. They have not received professional training or powerful equipment, which makes their combat effectiveness extremely low.
After an impassioned speech that inspired the morale of the entire army, Wals's army began to move gradually south. This was the last battle of the Rhodok Kingdom. King Gryphus was captured, and the remaining lords resisted, but they were just a group of bandits. Ordinary bandits could not resist the attack of the regular army.
If Aaron is also included, this city that has been conquered by Wals is probably now completely demoralized. The entire country's military forces have been recruited before King Gryphus. There are not many garrisons left to defend the city, and the decisive battle is set in Jerkala.
Most of the lords in Viruga were imprisoned in the dungeon by Wals. Once the time was right and the Rhodok Kingdom was conquered, these lords would face exile. If some of the lords of the Rhodok Kingdom were not captured, they could seek refuge in other kingdoms. If they were lucky, they could still get a fiefdom as a reward. However, such an end was extremely miserable. Having lost the care of their motherland, not many forces in other foreign lands would truly accept these wandering lords.
The city of Jelkala is the direct territory of King Griffith. It is the last line of defense. Across Jelkala is a long river with a bridge built over it. If there is no ship passing through, this bridge is the only way to Jelkala. King Griffith fixed the line of defense here. As for the north bank of the river, the castles, cities and villages to the north, King Griffith decided to abandon them all.
Wals's spy conveyed this message to Wals who was on the march. After a little thought, Wals came up with a way to easily pass through King Graves's defense line.
King Gryphus deployed his troops along the river bank and surrounded the entire river. No one dared to go into the river to fish because they were worried that they would be mistaken for enemies by the Rhodok soldiers. Everyone was waiting secretly. The last few days were the most peaceful days in the Rhodok Kingdom. No battle had taken place in these days, as if it was the approaching storm.
As usual, King Griffith personally brought Haywood and Drewry, a subordinate of Earl Leland, to patrol the other side of the river. They walked along the river bank to prevent the farmers who had just been recruited from the fields from being lazy. According to his orders, no suspicious person was allowed to come to his side. He was worried that Wales's spies would infiltrate his army. These farmers recruited from the fields could not withstand the blow. They were far inferior to the regular army. If someone started to make a fuss, their morale would be completely lost and the army would surely disperse.
Slowly moving along the river bank, Graves, Heywood and Drewry, all three of them were riding a horse, the fastest horse, they wanted to patrol the river bank quickly to prevent any accidents. At this time, there was some movement on the other side of the river.
"What is that?"
King Griffith looked into the distance, and the earth trembled slightly. The thing that King Griffith least wanted to see finally happened. A white unicorn was flying on a flag. There was no doubt that this was the symbol of Wals' army. At the same time, the flags of Edenyar and Rudyar also appeared here.
"Our enemies have arrived. Immediately inform the soldiers here to prepare for battle. A major battle is about to begin."
In fact, if the two armies really fought each other, King Gryphus would not dare to guarantee that he could resist the army of Wals with just a river.
King Gryfus accompanied Haywood to observe the enemy troops on the other side of the river. Drewry had already gone ahead to convey his orders to each military camp.
He stopped in his tracks when he saw the enemy in front of him.
They are setting up camp.
They moved quickly, and the regular army's posture was clearly visible. Soon, the other side of the river was filled with the flags of Wals, as well as the troops of Edenjar and Rudjar.
"It looks like the enemy wants to rest for a while before launching a general attack. In that case, we can use sharpshooters to shoot at the soldiers on the other side and harass them."
Haywood stated his command almost without thinking, which was also the best way for the Wals army, the only one that could fight back now.
Soon, the remaining snipers of the Rhodok Kingdom were sent to the other side of the river. They stood in a loose formation, half-knelt, and pointed their crossbows at the Nord soldiers on the other side of the river. The Nord soldiers were camping on the other side of the river and seemed to have no idea of the sudden crisis. Just like that, the first wave of arrow rain appeared.
The Nord army, which was completely unprepared, was hit one after another at this time, and the Nord soldiers who had just set up camp fell to the ground and died.
The success of this sneak attack greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers nearby, but the Nord army was led by Wals after all. Only a few minutes later, a considerable number of Nord archers appeared on the other side of the river, and a wave of arrows slid down from the sky, aiming at the Rhodok archers.
The two sides started a shooting battle on the other side of the river. After Wals determined the situation, he set up his camp out of the range of the Rhodok sharpshooters.
双方对射了一阵之后，各自都退回了原有的驻地，因为罗多克神射手的人数很少，导致在这一场射击战争当中并没有占据上风，这对于葛瑞福斯国王来说简直就是致命性的打击，作为大陆上面拥有最强大的弩手的国家，居然在远程射击战争当中，还打不赢诺德弓箭手。诺德弓箭手的力量比起诺德勇士来说要差了一大截，诺德王国远程兵种的攻击力极其不足，只能够使用数量来弥补。
这是两方军队交会的第一天，这一天的晚上出奇的平静，可是海伍德却怎么也睡不着觉。冥冥之中他总能够感应的到一些诡异的事情。
在第二天早上，海伍德亲自趴在河岸之上，他的身边就跟随着几名罗多克士兵，他距离河对岸的对岸的距离很近，近到诺德弓箭手可以直接对他进行射击，但是他为了得到关于沃尔斯的情报，这一次他亲自出马，就是想要看一看敌方军营当中的虚实。
既在他意料之中，又在他意料之外。沃尔斯的军营里面一阵忙碌，到处可以看见士兵正在巡逻的，搬运战略物资，以及进行必要的军事设施建设。
说是在意料之中，这也是合乎情理的，毕竟沃尔斯作为进攻方，肯定要调动军用物资来，现在大部分的兵力都集中在河岸附近，沃尔斯看来是想打一场持久战，而出乎他意料之外的事，他昨天晚上感觉到那诡异的不安，使得他对沃尔斯的所作所为有着怀疑。
“难道是我多虑了？”
海伍德这样安慰着自己，消除自己心中的不安，转眼便回到自己的营地，加强安排防守，只要把战争的时间拖得越长，自己这一方取胜的机会就会越大。
就这样过了两天时间，两天时间之内沃尔斯却没有对河对岸发起过进攻，按理说如果双方军队想要在大桥之上交战的话，占据优势了一定是诺德军队，毕竟诺德军队步兵的战斗力比罗多克王国的士兵要强，再加上大多数的罗多克士兵都是刚刚从田地里面征召而来的农夫，作战力远远不及诺德士兵。可是现在沃尔斯却根本就是在自己的军营里面调兵遣将，安营扎寨，似乎并没有想要发起进攻的模样。相反他似乎想打持久战。
“难道沃尔斯运认为我们的兵力过于强大，想步步为营换一种方式来和我们进行决战？”
海伍德和格瑞福斯国王都是这样想的。
可是在第二天，换言之也就是沃尔斯到达河对岸的第三天，间谍已经传来的情报，越来越多的旗帜插在了沃尔斯的军营之上，这说明了一个道理，那就是沃尔斯军营里面的士兵越来越多，此时此刻，海伍德和格瑞福斯国王才恍然大悟。
原来沃尔斯是在等待着援军的到来，这可让葛瑞福斯国王有些焦躁不安。本来一千多名的诺德士兵已经足够可以打败他们了，要说越来越多的诺德军队出现在这里的话，简直就可以碾压他们。
不得已，葛瑞福斯国王只好将自己的兵力集中，按理说对方拥有着这么多的兵力，要想渡河的话，船只数量是一定不够的，既然如此的话只有抢夺连接河岸的大桥才是最好的办法，因此葛瑞福斯国王将自己的防线进行收缩，大部分的兵力都安插在大桥附近。
在沃尔斯他自己的军营里面，一些大将完不理解沃尔斯现在的行为。不知道为什么沃尔斯现在按兵不动，反而在自己的军营里面插起了许许多多的旗帜。
更为古怪的是，伊登雅尔和鲁德雅尔悄悄地离开了军营，军营当中流传着一个不为人知的消息，据说伊登雅尔和鲁德雅尔带领的军队已经先行撤退。
他们认为继续征服罗多克王国的代价实在太大了，因此就这样退回了原有的领地。想要等待的拉格纳国王将维鲁加赏赐给他们。
艾米瑞达和艾雷恩这一系列的大将都认为缺少了鲁德雅尔和伊登雅尔，是打不败对面的敌军的。毕竟敌人人数众多。
可是沃尔斯却平静的出奇，仿佛什么事都没有发生过一样。若是有人问起他这个问题的话，他就是笑而不语或者一概不答。
不知不觉当中，沃尔斯已经来到河岸五天了，军营里面的这一个不为人知的消息，传到了罗多克王国的间谍的耳朵当中，间谍迅速把这个消息禀告给葛瑞福斯。
葛瑞福斯国王这个时候才恍然大悟，鲁德雅尔和伊登雅尔已经离开了沃尔斯，沃尔斯只不过是在使计谋而已，悄悄的在区域里面插更多的旗帜，不过是虚张声势而已。
“这可是一个好机会，既然说沃尔斯的军营里面的兵力有所减少，不如现在就杀？
“第八天，罗多克王国的军队已经集结完毕，葛瑞福斯国王可以说是意气风发，经过他的间谍详细打探，已经确定了沃尔斯的军队里面的士兵大为减少，此时不进行反击的话，还要等到什么时候呢？
“今天是一个好日子，我们已经得到确凿的情报，对面沃尔斯的军队数量大为减少，伊登雅尔和鲁德雅尔因为认为征服我们的代价太过于庞大，撤回了他们原来的领地，这一个时候只剩下在顽抗的沃尔斯，击溃他们，我们就有机会收复失地。
葛瑞福斯国王忍不住发出一番慷慨激昂的演讲，正在演讲激烈的时候，一名传令兵却突然飞奔到他的面前。
“怎么回事？你来干什么？”
葛瑞福斯国王完搞不清状况，这一个传令兵是他安插在杰尔喀拉的亲信，这个时候跑到自己的军营里面来做什么？难道说杰尔喀拉出了事情？可是这不可能的事情，沃尔斯的军队就在这里，还有什么能够让杰尔喀拉出大事？
“陛下，杰尔喀拉完了，杰尔喀拉那些卑鄙的诺德人给攻占了！”
传令兵一脸悲痛的说道。刚一说完这句话，这名传令兵便抱头痛哭起来。
“怎么回事？”
宛如晴天霹雳一般，葛瑞福斯国王简直就不敢相信自己的耳朵。
不仅他自己不相信，站着葛瑞福斯国王身边的几个人都不敢相信，却只有这一个时候海伍德才反应过来。
传令兵抹干眼泪，哭哭嚷嚷的说道：“鲁德雅尔和伊登雅尔，不知道从哪里出现，并且穿着我们军队的服装，天黑的时候潜入到杰尔喀拉的城市里面，就在昨天晚上，他们占领了整个城市。”
葛瑞福斯国王之前那一番信心满满的面孔，这个时候**然无存，剩下的只有悔恨与悲痛，当这悔恨与被碰到了顶点的时候，转化为对沃尔斯的致命怨恨。
“我知道！我知道了！”
葛瑞福斯国王此时出奇的平静。
传令兵的话只是让葛瑞福斯国王和附近的几位大将听到了而已，而是台下面的士兵却是根本不知道。他们只看见那一名传令兵正在痛哭，葛瑞福斯国王的表情也变得有些不自然的。
出了些什么事情吗？大多数的士兵都是这样想的。
“大家不要紧张，不过是我的爱妻死了而已，我才有些悲痛而已，可是今天我们将用我们的血和生命来捍卫我们共同的家人。
原来如此！
士兵们想起了在战争当中失去的家人，浓浓的怨恨转化为想要捅破诺德军队的动力。
逼不得已的葛瑞福斯国王下定决心想要做最后的反扑。
就算伊登和鲁德雅尔并没有退回诺德王国，他但是他们的兵力现在也在杰尔喀拉，沃尔斯的军队数量依然没变，他只有区区余人而已，自己这样活捉了沃尔斯，相信以沃尔斯为代价来换回整个罗多克王国的领土还是有机会的。
“我现在下令，所有的军队出发，目标活捉敌方大将沃尔斯。”
葛瑞福斯国王几乎是用吼着对他的士兵说到，却是一把被海伍德死死抓住。
“陛下，不能够打，绝对不能够打。我们是抓不住沃尔斯的，不如现在赶紧回去，夺回杰尔喀拉。”
海伍德立刻就明白自己的国王是怎样想的，但是葛瑞福斯国王是不会听从海伍德的建议的，他现在极度怨恨沃尔斯，他失去了理智，一支年老而又疯狂的巨熊，在这里诞生了。葛瑞福斯国王亲自骑上他的战马，穿上他那经过铁匠精心打造的铠甲，亲自统率的士兵要与沃尔斯决一死战。
“冲啊，我的勇士们。你们的敌人就在前方！”
国王亲自带队冲锋，立刻就得到了极大的士气鼓舞，几乎不用他们的军官上级说话，一排又一排，一群又一群，这一支混杂着普通士兵和征召农夫的军队，渡过大桥冲向了沃尔斯的军营。
在大营当中，正坐在主将位置上的沃尔斯，已经听见了在他军营外面敌军冲过来的声音。
原本平静的双眼突然散发出一种猛烈的气息。
"Everyone, get ready immediately. King Gryphus is going to have a final decisive battle. Jelkala has been captured by us. If we capture King Gryphus now, we can occupy the entire Rhodok Kingdom."
Wals revealed an astonishing piece of news. Everyone did not doubt it and obeyed Wals's orders. Soon, teams of Nord soldiers lined up. What appeared in front of them was an ordinary peasant army with simple equipment and no discipline.
This army was untrained and had extremely low combat effectiveness. They disrupted their formation while running, and what supported them to move forward was the belief in their hearts.
"Crush them!"
The aura in Walls' eyes never dissipated. After encountering the enemy's fierce attack, this strong aura became even stronger, and a strong murderous intent revealed in his eyes.
Drewry, riding his warhorse, was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. This time he led the charge in order to defeat Wales and rescue his lord, Earl Leland.
In the chaos, Drewry with a sickle in his hand was extremely conspicuous. The black death sickle reaped the lives of the nearby Nord soldiers. Under Drewry's leadership, the Rhodok troops he belonged to quickly rushed to the place close to Wals. Seeing this, Amirida knew it was time for her to take the stage.
A white horse appeared on the battlefield, the black death scythe and the sharp knight's sword collided with each other, and the two men who had fought to the death in Viruga a few days ago met again at this moment.
"Needless to say, this time it's either you or me. This is the last battle!"
