But Wals had already ordered a forced march. Although his troops were carrying a large amount of gold and silver treasures, he quickly exchanged them for food on the way. Wals was in a very high position in the eyes of the Nord soldiers, so those soldiers did not hesitate to use the money they had robbed from Aaron. Due to the high price of the treasure, there were still civilians in the villages near the Rhodok Kingdom who were moved by the benefits and gave Wals food in exchange for money.
This is a fair trade, and Wals will not incur the resentment of this group of civilians, which will also make it easier for Wals to conquer this place. At the same time, Wals began to march, leaving King Graves's troops far behind. Wals's scout, Bolcha, has brought some news from nearby that King Graves has begun to pursue Wals, which makes Walsma keep moving forward.
There were high mountains ahead, two mountains standing on both sides of the road. The mountains on the left and right made Wals' heart tense suddenly. According to the news brought back by Bolcha, this place has reached Qiza, only a hair's breadth away from Viruga, but when they were in this mountainous area, Wals suddenly had a strange feeling. There was no doubt that this was a good place for an ambush, and Wals had to be careful.
Seeing the empty valley on both sides, Wals suddenly thought of a way. She walked forward slowly alone, riding a horse. The horse had an extremely fast speed and could help her escape from danger quickly when in danger.
At the same time, he hinted to Aileyen and Jack beside him to move part of the troops to the left and right temporarily. Gradually, when Wals walked in the middle of the valley, he made a move that surprised everyone present.
He raised his head, looked towards the sky, and laughed.
"If an army is ambushed here, I will definitely not be able to escape."
His voice and his laughter echoed in the valley and above the mountains. The clouds seemed to sense Walsh's voice and gradually became dispersing.
At the same time, small black dots suddenly appeared above the empty valley. A closer look revealed that they were vague human figures.
Although the figure was blurry, the flag was clearly visible. The flag planted above the valley was the flag of the Kingdom of Rhodok, which originally belonged to King Griffus. It was a black bear's head. At the same time, the flag of Earl Leland was also planted on it. This was enough to show that Earl Leland had led an army to ambush here. Wals, who was waiting quietly, entered his ambush circle.
Originally, Earl Leland hoped that Wals and his main force would enter the valley before launching a surprise attack. With the help of the high mountain terrain and his elite crossbowmen, he could deal a heavy blow to Wals. However, Wals's fierce roar at the foot of the mountain made Earl Leland impatient. He exposed his troops abruptly despite the strong dissuasion of his staff officer.
"Although the enemy has not entered our ambush range, our Rhodok crossbowmen can still shoot them."
There is no time to lose. He holds a huge siege crossbow in his hand. This type of siege crossbow used for individual combat is one of the longest range and most powerful attacking crossbows. There is no other crossbow on the continent that can be more powerful than it.
The crossbow in Count Leland's hand was aimed directly at Wals at the foot of the mountain, but Wals would not surrender so easily. He ran to the valley alone to lure out the ambushes lying in ambush above the valley. Logically, Wals didn't know whether there would be ambushes above the valley. He came to the valley with a mentality of luck and suspicion.
If there were no enemies, he could rest assured and lead his main force forward. However, this time Count Leland lost his patience, which was exactly what Walls wanted.
He was a person who must be assassinated, and Count Leland would not give up such a good opportunity. It would always be difficult to recognize Wales' appearance in the chaos of the army. This time Wales went out alone, and there was no one around him. He was the only one at the foot of the mountain, so he could clearly identify the target.
"Everyone, listen to my command and aim at Wals at the foot of the mountain. Whoever can shoot Wals to death will be rewarded with 10,000 dinars."
Under the huge reward, the Rhodok crossbowmen pointed their weapons at Wals, and whistling sounds were heard in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, countless crossbow arrows fell down. These arrows could easily pierce armor. With the help of the mountains, their power was even greater under the influence of gravity.
Wals also knew that the moment those figures appeared, Wals had already ridden his horse away quickly. The road along his way was full of crossbow arrows. In the blink of an eye, the originally flat and peaceful ground became noisy, with the sound of crossbow arrows hitting the ground everywhere. The land that was originally covered with green grass was now full of arrows. In any case, Wals was shot. It was the siege crossbow of Earl Leland. Earl Leland was not an ordinary lord. He was also a guy with strong martial arts. As the furnace used by the soldiers of the Kingdom of Rhodok, he would also use this siege crossbow to aim at Wals.
Wals' left arm was shot, but because of the angle and Wals's strong body, his arm was not completely dislocated, and only his entire arm was pierced. However, the horses under his feet were full of arrows. When Wals ran in front of his army, the Nord soldiers quickly used shields to rescue their marshal. As soon as they escaped from danger, the horse under his feet fell to the ground and died. Wals did not have time to touch his mount and immediately commanded his army.
Just at that moment, when Wals just arrived at this valley, Wals took a good look at the geographical location here. With his extraordinary memory, he knew that there was a road leading to the valley. It was at this place that Aileyen and Jack led part of the army to the top of the valley according to his suggestion. Now Earl Leland and his men have turned their attention to him and did not notice that another troop he had sent up the valley to attack his rear.
That's how it was. When Wals just ran back to his position, a group of Nord soldiers suddenly rushed up the valley. Earl Leland and his men were still immersed in the excitement of hunting Wals. Although the harvester had already been put into their position, they kept firing crossbows, trying to kill Wals. The sudden Nord soldiers caught them off guard. Earl Leland originally wanted to attack Wals, but he didn't expect to be attacked by Wals instead.
At the same time, Wals also ordered the Nord archers to shoot at the enemy soldiers on the valleys on both sides. Aire was responsible for the left valley and Jack was responsible for the right valley. The two teams killed the Rhodok soldiers and fled. Earl Leland was also shocked.
Suddenly, Count Leland dropped the crossbow in his hand and rushed forward. It was Aileyen, the general under Wals. Count Leland drew out the giant sword on his back without saying a word. This was his favorite weapon. After putting away the giant sword, he immediately fought with Aileyen.
Wals at the foot of the mountain continued to send troops to reinforce Aileyen and Jack. Their two troops first tied down Count Leland's troops, and then the rest of Wals' troops were also dispatched to the valley.
Airen was holding a knight's sword in his hand, and Count Leland was holding a giant sword in his hand. When the two weapons collided, there was a fierce collision sound. At this time, Count Leland realized that he was old. Facing Airen, he felt that he was powerless.
This time, in the battle on the top of the mountain, Earl Leland had only four or five hundred soldiers, while at the foot of the mountain, although the Wals side was at a disadvantage, they had about 1,500 soldiers, and all of them were strong warriors, which meant that they could quickly attack the top of the mountain and kill all the soldiers from the Rhodok Kingdom.
Count Leland realized that he was old and his fighting ability was not as good as before. Most of the other lords in the kingdom were guarding near Viruga, which meant that he was fighting alone now. In front of him was a young and strong Aileyen, who was as agile as Count Leland when he was young.
However, Count Leland still has a powerful general under his command, Drewry the Scythe of Death.
德鲁里拿着他的那一把镰刀，劈死了数名诺德士兵之后，便赶过来营救他的领主，雷兰德伯爵这一个时候看见自己的忠心的手下到达自己的面前，也是赶紧挪动脚步朝的朝他的方向前进。无论如何，在自己面对艾雷恩的时候，自己显得太过于不力不从心的。
德鲁里手中握着的那一把镰刀，就如同真的死神一般，收割生命毫不留情，冷酷无情的他将每一个诺德勇士的生命都给收割而走，不一会儿在他身边的尸体已经积成了一堆，诺德勇士即使再强大再勇敢，在看见了德鲁里之后，也不免朝后退了几步。除了艾雷恩之外。
艾雷恩已经逼走了雷兰德伯爵，雷兰德伯爵亲自带领着一些护卫骑士离开了这里，现在的他不应该在这里久留，这一处山头虽然说地势险要，但是上山和下山的路依然很多。沃尔斯因为作战比较仓促，在短时间之内无法占据整座山的道路，这也意味着雷兰德伯爵可以轻松的找到一条路然后离开这里。
而留下来断后的这是死亡之镰德鲁里，艾雷恩和德鲁里这一个雷兰德伯爵手下的头号大将扭打在一起。
与此同时，在另一处山头，杰克以及其他的诺德勇士把这里的罗克士兵部都消灭得一干二净。剩下的大部分人都成了俘虏。
由于罗多克王国的人民没有遭受到诺德王国的阅读，这也使得罗多克士兵对于诺德王国并没有太大的憎恨。他们在被俘虏之后倒也是安安静静的。除了有那么几个宁死不降的家伙，已经跳下山崖致死自尽而亡。
杰克在消灭这一处敌人之后，就迅速带领自己剩下的士兵前来会合艾雷恩，沃尔斯也正在上山的途中。他步行上山，手中的那一把断崖之刃闪闪发光，似乎是因为山崖地势的影响，这一把剑刃比之之前更加有魄力。
德鲁里并不是一个好惹的家伙，曾经他和斯瓦迪亚王国的三大英雄之一的奥多尼尔打成了平手。虽然说在智谋上他并不如奥多尼尔，但是在武艺之上，他倒是可以和奥多尼尔相提并论。
不久到来的沃尔斯也是感慨着，德鲁里实力过于强大，不是一时半会儿就能够打败的人物。
艾雷恩手中的那一把骑士剑和德鲁里手中的那长长的镰刀碰撞在一起，金属碰撞声震动着空气，传达到战场之上每一个人的耳朵当中。诺德勇士已经避开了德鲁里的锋芒，他们正在围剿那些进行顽强抵抗的罗多克士兵。因为人数的差异，这也导致了在战场的上也是出现了一面倒的局势。本来他们已经掌握了地利的优势，凭着这少数的人数可以歼诺德王国的军队，不过沃尔斯反将一计，派遣自己的部队先杀上山头，这样的话罗多克王国原先的计划就被打乱了。这也是这一处地形不好的原因，毕竟上山的路居然还留有给敌人，这也是雷兰德伯爵的失策。或者说这是因为他沉不住气才会导致现在这样的结果。
德鲁里手中的那一把镰刀，挥舞的快如闪电，而艾雷恩也不是吃素的，金属碰撞声连绵不绝，两把兵刃不停的碰撞在一起，原本他们两个看起来好像是打成平手一般，不过艾雷恩却渐渐吃不消了，他的速度越来越慢，但是德鲁里的速度却还是如同如同以前一样快。
是的，如果再这样继续下去的话，德鲁里一定可以打败艾雷恩的，德鲁里当初也跟随着雷兰德伯爵侵略过诺德王国，虽然说在当时的一场战斗当中，因为沃尔斯调派人数众多的话并且突袭葛瑞福斯国王的阵营，直接突入他的大营当中，眼看着就要抓住了葛瑞福斯国王，却在最后关头让葛瑞福斯国王逃跑的，葛瑞福斯国王的撤退命令使得德鲁里暂行撤退，可是这也使得沃尔斯没有和德鲁里分出胜负。
事情发生转变就是如此的戏剧性，在艾雷恩快要吃不消的时候，沃尔斯突然出现，身上穿的也是一样一套能够遮盖头脸脚的铠甲，身每一处都被遮挡了住，艾伦看见沃尔斯上来说，也明白了沃尔斯的用意。
他赶紧退了下来，紧接着沃尔斯就接下了艾雷恩的位置，德鲁里那一双冷漠的眼睛里面闪出了愤怒的火花。这简直就是在使用车轮战，如果这样的话，就算自己再怎么强大也迟早会被打败的。
德鲁里的眼睛瞥了一下正在山脚下逃跑了雷阳德伯爵，他知道雷兰德伯爵已经快要逃到维鲁加，或者说他真离开了危险地带。既然如此的话自己也就没有必要再这样坚持下去了。如果在这样的烂军当中还能够砍下沃尔斯的脑袋，这种事情他连想都不敢想。越来越多的诺德勇士将他团团包围住，就算自己能够杀掉沃尔斯，剩下的这一群落的勇士也不会放过自己的最好他们只是暂时的恐惧而已。
既然如此的话，那他就要先走一步。
他张开他那嘶哑的喉咙，难听的声音从他的嘴巴里面发出来。
“沃尔斯，我记得你，我知道下一步你将会进攻维鲁加，在那一个时候我们再来决一死战。”
都已挥手砍死一个正要挡住自己的诺德勇士，这逼迫着其他的陆地也是不敢再上前一步，在沃尔斯还没和德鲁里交手的时候，他就已经先走一步。
伴随着嘈杂的声音，最后，在击破雷兰德伯爵的军队之后，沃尔斯以及他的大军抵达的维鲁加城下，这个时候可以清楚的看见伊登雅尔和鲁德雅尔的旗帜阵飘扬在维鲁加的附近，他们安插大营驻扎维鲁加附近，现在已经对维鲁加形成了合围之势。不过从分布情况来看，维鲁加的后方还处在罗多克王国的掌控之中，不然的话雷兰德伯爵也无法突破包围圈然后偷袭沃尔斯。
要想攻占维鲁加，维鲁加里面的守军自然是一个大难题，不过现在葛瑞福斯国王已经带领了部分兵力来追击沃尔斯，他首先进攻马拉斯堡，在马拉斯堡攻下之后，继续挥师想要追击沃尔斯，这意味着维鲁加一半的守军已经被葛瑞福斯国王给调动了。沃尔斯决定联合伊登雅尔和鲁德雅尔一起进攻维鲁加，在短时间之内攻克维鲁加。
可是，这样的想法明显不够现实，在短时间之内攻破维鲁加，不提里面的守军，就凭借着维鲁加那坚固的城墙，就已经让在这里久久守候的鲁德雅尔和伊登而望而止步。
没错，沃尔斯无法想明白有什么办法可以在短时间之内攻克维鲁加，不过他现在可以继续谋划，在葛瑞福斯国王到达之前，埋伏着袭击葛瑞福斯国王的军队，这样变相的削弱罗多克王国的实力，最后打倒了格瑞福斯国王的主力部队之后，再来进攻维鲁加，只是没有了葛瑞福斯国王在外协助，维鲁加的守军这是瓮中之鳖。
雷兰德伯爵偷袭过他的这个做法，给了沃尔斯一个很好的契机，他决定就在其家附近埋伏一队兵力，等待的葛瑞福斯国王的到来，击破了格雷福斯国王，便等于击败了一半的罗多克王国。
沃尔斯迅速包围维鲁加的整个城市都好并命令伊登雅尔和鲁德雅尔收缩包围圈，将维鲁加给团团围住，就是为了防止维鲁加里面传出消息，如果说维鲁加里面的消息呗葛瑞福斯国王知道的话，说不定他会有所提防。
话说到这里，葛瑞福斯国王一直在追击着沃尔斯，这里是山地，行走本来不变，加上罗多克王国的军队只有这少量的轻骑兵，这些亲戚兵只是用来侦查而已，并不适用于由于主要战斗，主力部队还是要靠着他们拿拿着大刀和长矛的罗多克军士。
跟随着沃尔斯行者的踪迹，葛瑞福斯国王直接走到了其家附近。
这里的尸体已经被沃尔斯派人给收拾干净了，但是经历过一场战斗的痕迹还是无法避免。
这不免使得跟谁在葛瑞福斯国王身边的海伍德有所警惕。
“陛下，这里的地方感觉阴气深深，从这里的痕迹来看，这里似乎最近经历过一场大战，看来维鲁加附近的守军一定是在这里突袭了沃尔斯，不过我们从这里得知的信息来看，沃尔斯战胜了那些出城而来的维鲁加守军，原因很简单，如果说这一群偷袭沃尔斯的罗多克军队获得胜利的话，他们一定会派遣使者告诉我们这个消息的。而现在我们一直朝着维鲁加附近逼近，根本就没有察觉到有任何的使者朝我们移动，这足以说明维鲁加的这一支守军已经战败了，维鲁加现在的形势情况岌岌可危。而在这里，沃尔斯肯定也布置了重兵在这里进行埋伏。”
As soon as King Gryfus heard that the situation in Viruga was precarious, he threw everything behind his mind. Viruga was the gateway to the Kingdom of Rhodok and it was a plain. Although it was not easy to defend, if it was defended, the Nord Kingdom would not be able to move further south.
Moreover, if I send a large number of troops to Viruga, and lose my home, my influence in the kingdom will be greatly reduced. It will be extremely difficult to rule the country and unite forces at that time. Therefore, Viruga must not be lost.
King Griffith looked over the valley, where low grass grew luxuriantly and there was no sign of any human figure.
However, there are still some traces of battle left on the ground, which can be seen from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
King Gryphus felt that Wals would not continue to ambush here. After all, there had been previous experiences, and people who came here would definitely be vigilant. If Wals continued to ambush here, it would definitely be ineffective. If he wanted to ambush, he should choose another road.
