King Griffith, who had this kind of fluke mentality, did not listen to the dissuasion of Haywood beside him at all. Now he was eager to rescue Viruga.
Haywood, who originally wanted to stop King Graves, was helpless as he watched King Graves gradually step into the forbidden land of the god of death.
Just as Greifus led the army into the valley, a burst of rocks suddenly rolled down from the mountain. These rocks were extremely hard. With the energy of rolling down from the mountain, each rock could kill a soldier. King Greifus looked at the Nord soldiers who suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain in horror. He knew that he should listen to the painting that harmed me, and should not move forward blindly.
On the top of the mountain, a familiar figure appeared in front of Grief Shiguang. That person was none other than Hott, who went to the position to command in person.
For some reason, King Griffus' heart suddenly trembled. He remembered the scene when he led the army to attack Su Luo. Wals led dozens of Swadian knights and rushed into his camp. The aura of wanting to live out his own life appeared in Griffus' mind again. Wals's aura was exactly the same as the current aura. At this moment, he was so scared that he trembled all over. King Griffus, riding on his warhorse, could no longer resist this fear.
“Retreat! Retreat!”
That was all King Gryphus could say, but things were not that simple. When the Nord Time ended, a group of Nord warriors suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain. What was even more surprising was that the ones rushing in the front were actually Swadian knights.
Originally, after this attack, King Gryphus' army had already lost its position. The Battleship was originally powerful enough to deal with the cavalry, and there was no time to drive it up. When facing the charge of the Swadian knights, this group of Rhodok soldiers could only flee in panic, and the sound of spears and the neighing of horses filled the battlefield.
Although King Graves wanted to resist, he knew that he could not accomplish this task. If he took another step forward, it would be his hell. In this case, he could not take another step forward. The Swadian Knights' spear formation was facing it, just like when Wals led his troops to capture him alive.
King Griffus left with fear and reluctance. Heywood and hundreds of Rhodok soldiers followed him. It was because King Griffus decisively chose to retreat that more Rhodok soldiers were saved. Most of the remaining Rhodok soldiers either died in battle or fled the army. They ran around in the wilderness. There were only two outcomes waiting for them. One was to meet King Griffus's troops again and reorganize and return to the team. The other was to meet Vols' soldiers and be captured in the dungeon.
There was a world of difference between the two results. There were only a few Rhodok soldiers left at this time. The Rhodok soldiers who were really able to fight had been killed by Wals's troops. When the Swadian knights charged with their spears, these Rhodok soldiers who had not formed a good formation were torn into pieces like thin paper.
This failure means that King Gryphus has no extra energy to save Viruga, so the next battle plan is very clear. Walls will lead his troops to attack Viruga. If Viruga is conquered, it will be the beginning of the conquest of the Kingdom of Rhodok.
King Gryphus, who fled in panic, had already thought of the subsequent battle plan while he was escaping. If Viruga was breached, he would still have to gather troops from all over the country to retake this important town of Viruga.
However, his adviser, Heywood, suggested that King Gryfus continue to hold on to the town and defend the rest of the territory, because Viruga is on the plain and is easy for the enemy to capture, while other castles are built on the top of the mountain. Such terrain is not conducive to attack, so it is easy to defend. Since it is easy to defend, it means that it is easier to defend these castles on the top of the mountain than to defend Viruga.
But if King Griffith lost Viruga, it would mean that he had lost something as well. The foundation of his rule would suffer a fatal blow and his prestige would plummet. Lords from all over the country handed over their troops to King Griffith for command, but King Griffith failed to defend Viruga. In this case, how many people in the kingdom would still listen to him?
These are things to be discussed later. Walls commanded his men to clean up the battlefield, and soon they returned with a full load. The weapons and equipment left behind by these Rhodok soldiers could be recycled very well.
Idenyar and Rudyar had already completed the siege equipment long ago, and there were still 1,500 defenders in Viruga. After several major battles, Wals had a total of more than 2,000 troops.
If they forcefully attack the city, there will inevitably be losses, but Wals couldn't think of any good way to break through the city for the time being. The last time they broke through Suno, they used a traitor. King Yarogerk, who defeated Kulau, and Khan Sega also used a traitor. This time, they were in a hurry to fight and there were really no traitors to send into Viruga, and the interior of Viruga was also tightly guarded. King Gryfus had seen through this strategy of using traitors to cooperate internally and externally, and he controlled the high-level officials in his kingdom, making his traitors completely useless.
At this moment, apart from forcibly attacking the city, there is really no other good way to capture this city.
The lords gathered in Viruga accounted for half of the Rhodok Kingdom, led by Earl Rayland and Earl Mateas. They were both older lords of the Rhodok Kingdom and had high prestige within the kingdom, so the highest command here belonged to Earl Mateas. In addition, Earl Rayland had a great general, Death Scythe Drewry, under his command, and Earl Materas, as a prestigious lord of the Rock Kingdom, still had many powerful generals under his command.
Although Idenjar and Rudjar suffered many powerful subordinates when the Nord Kingdom was strong, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose when the two countries collide.
It was in this situation that Wals realized that it would be difficult for him to attack such a city. He wondered whether King Graves would regroup his troops and come to rescue Viruga. This time the ambush must not be set in Qiza, because King Graves had seen through this plan.
Before King Grace can bring in reinforcements, Wals must conquer Viruga.
Perhaps, King Gryphus would ask the Sarande Sultanate for help, but when the messenger told him a piece of news, Wals also dispelled this worry. It turned out that the Sarande Sultanate had put all its national strength into fighting the Khergit Khanate. The Khergit Khanate already owned part of the territory of the Kingdom of Swadia, plus half of the territory of the Kingdom of Home. In this way, the strong national strength made it not at all inferior to the powerful country of the Sarande Sultanate. In fact, it stands to reason that the suspense of this battle is actually very small, and the Khergit Khanate should have suppressed the Sarande Sultanate. But things seem to be taking a turn for the better.
As for what kind of turn of events will happen? This is not something that Wals said he would worry about. Fortunately, if the Sarand Sultanate and the Khergit Khanate were to go to war, King Graves would not ask for help from the Sarand Sultanate. Even if he sent an envoy, the Sarand Sultanate would ignore it.
In a short time, Wals knew that King Graves would either have to use money to buy a mercenary army or recruit the old, weak, sick and disabled farmers in his fields. Apart from these methods, he had no other way to assemble a large army.
On the evening of that day, Walls decided to launch a tentative attack on the city of Viruga to test the city's defense level and the generals under the commander-in-chief.
Wals watched the battle in person, Airen Jack and others climbed up the city wall, and Idenjar and Rudjar also sent their own people to build a city by hand. Count Matras and Count Leland took this attack very seriously. Their originally tense nerves told them to be careful and guard against every enemy attack, so they sent out all their trump cards that night, and this time Wals just ordered his Nord archers to shoot arrows at the city wall. Most of the Nord warriors raised their shields to protect the Nord archers from the crossbow arrows on the city wall.
On top of the city wall is Count Matias’ general. Count Matias is a very powerful lord, which also means that the people under him are all very powerful.
That is, from this moment on, Wals saw with his own eyes the ten generals under Count Matthaas. These ten generals were all powerful figures. All ten generals used code names instead of their real names.
But if he wants to capture Viruga, Walls must defeat these ten people.
时间是紧迫的，葛瑞福斯国王说不定就会有机会搬来救兵来营救维鲁加。
今天晚上所派遣的这一次部队的攻击，实际上是佯攻的，出现在城墙上面的十名大将，沃尔斯也一一看见了。
根据情报来看，其中有五名大将是拿着一种骑士剑，他们的骑士剑造型各异，分别是绝影，追风，断刃，幻变，木衣，这五个人，使用的武器普普通通，沃尔斯倒也是没有放在心上。在城墙之上，这五个人使用的骑士剑炉火纯青，一看他的武艺便知道是高手。可以说他们是不停的磨练自己而使得自己的武艺得以提升的普通之人而已。
但是根据情报来看，城墙之上应该还有其他的五个人。首先就让沃尔斯印象深刻的是那一把宽刃刀，这是马特拉斯伯爵手下被称之为火刀的一名大将，这位将领使用一把宽刃刀，宽刃刀是罗多克士兵常常使用的武器，现在他使用宽刃刀一样如火纯青，耍的那一把大刀，不停的将那些试图打到自己的弓箭给弹下去，同时，那些招呼上去的诺德勇士，也纷纷被他砍倒。
这也是为了试出维鲁加守军真正实力而使用派去的敢死队，这些普通的诺德勇士是牺牲是有所价值的。
除了这几位使用武器比较正常的人，还有着被称之为毒钩的一位将领，他使用的是一把弯曲的毒钩，钩子上面涂有毒素，沃尔斯并不知道它的毒钩的毒素到底有多毒，但是根据和他作战的诺德勇士的情况来看，这些钩子造成的伤害并不是太深，但是它的毒素却能够让所有的勇士的速度减弱，沃尔斯也知道，剧毒制造是需要大量的时间，因此钩子上面的毒素绝对不可能太多，因为每一次进攻之后，钩子上面的毒素就会有所损耗。那些毒素进入到士兵的体内之后，这些损耗的毒素要迅速重新涂抹在钩子上面，因此廉价的毒素才是毒钩最理想的物质。
而与此同时，在月光的照耀之下，一把白色的巨弩出现在沃尔斯的眼中，没错这也是马特阿斯伯爵手下的一位大将，这位大将被称之为白弩，在他的身边是使用两把单手长剑的双杀，这九名大将，在沃尔斯看来都是一些武艺高强的人是，并没有特别之处。
但是最后一位被称之为业火的，他却是神秘万分，沃尔斯并不知道他所使用的武器，根据情报来看，他仿佛是使用了一种特制的火弹，应该是使用某种特殊物质制作而成的，不过制造这种火葬的方法，仿佛只有业火他自己一个人知道。
这也就使得他成为十个人当中最为神秘的一个人。
之后，沃尔斯便命令自己的部队开始撤退，才知道今天晚上不过是佯攻而已，并不是真正要夺取这一座城市，实在是马特阿斯伯爵和雷兰德伯爵的神经太过于敏感了，死亡之镰德鲁里必然是少不了的人物，不过话说回来，雷兰德伯爵的手下似乎就只有德鲁里这一个人的。
因此，在沃尔斯知道了这些的情报之后，迅速命令部队回撤，雷兰德伯爵只有一个德鲁里，但是马特拉斯伯爵却拥有着十位大将，明天，沃尔斯就会准备开始发动面进攻，到时候自己手下的将领将会和这些敌方将领大战一场。
亲自坐正在城墙之上进行防守的马特阿斯伯爵，这个时候才松了一口气，他看见了那些大军已经离开了他的城市编辑，回到了诺德王国的营地当中，这也就意味着，他们今天晚上是不会再来进攻的。
马特拉斯伯爵不顾形象的一屁股就坐在城墙上面的地面。
“码头阿斯伯爵，这一次为什么会让我出场呢？”
一个若有若无的声音突然出现在马特阿斯伯爵的身后，马特拉斯伯爵以听见这一种奇特的声音，就知道来人是谁了，他就是自己手下最为得意的十位大将当中的最后一位，被称之为业火的那一位。
“你可是我的秘密武器，不可能就这么轻易的让你暴露你自己的作战方式。沃尔斯是一个极其聪明的人，民间的时候他一定会发动进攻，当我战斗到一半的时候，我才突然发现沃尔斯的这一次进攻只是一个佯攻而已，我推测他极有可能是要测试一下我们守军的实力，我真是后悔把那九位大将部都派出去，不过幸好我选择把你留在了后面，到时候当九位大将部战败的时候，你就出来偷袭我特，我敢打赌，如果明天诺德王国的军队要发起总攻的话，那么沃尔斯一定是首当其冲登上城墙的，你要牢牢把握中沃尔斯的位置，等待时机将他偷袭致死。”
“好的，马特阿斯伯爵，我明白你的意思的，中了我的火弹的话，浑身上下都会燃烧起火焰，沃尔斯想要不死也难。”
一声怪笑从业火的嘴中发出，他带着一种面具，那是一张红色的面具，不知道他经历了些什么，从他那宽大的袍子里面露出来的手臂可以看到，他的手上部都是些烧伤的痕迹，看来他是用火弹也是有着不为人知的伤痛经历。
月光照耀之下，落实业火把他的面具给拿下来的话，可想而知也一定是一张丑陋的脸，他使用火弹来进攻敌人，有时候也会伤害到自己，不知道在明天面对沃尔斯的时候，他能够发挥出怎样的奇效？
时间的流逝无人阻止，马特阿斯伯爵在吩咐了一些罗多克士兵值班之后，剩下的大部分士兵都安然入睡，今天晚上敌人突然过来，让他们着实吓了一惊。
这一天晚上，沃尔斯他也检查了一下自己这一方面的人员。
鲁德雅尔和伊登雅尔都是诺德王国里面很有威望的领主，他们都是身经百战的人物，在自己的手底下面肯定有着一些实力强大的人物，万幸的是，今天这个时候，伊登雅尔和鲁德雅尔都把自己的这些人物部都带到了战场之上。
被称之为斧魔的塞林格，这是伊登雅尔的手下，与此同时还有个埃尔温，他使用的是一把战斧，以及恩布尔顿，武器是一把巨剑。
另一方面，鲁德雅尔也有着三位大将，首当其冲的是被称之为银刀的菲迪恩，以及使用长弓和短刀的西尔斯，使用剑和盾的萨奇森。
而沃尔斯他也有自己的手下，分别是马蒂尔德，艾雷恩，雷萨里特，波尔查，杰姆斯，尼扎，贝斯图尔，亚提曼，法提斯，德赛维，杰克，詹克斯，霍格思，艾米瑞达。
其中，波尔查和杰姆斯，以及亚提曼，这几个都是智力型人物，根本就不适合上战场上作战，因此剩下的还有11位，再加上自己，那么能够出战的就有12位，伊登雅尔和鲁德雅尔都是战场上的老将，这一场战斗凶险万分，她们两个是不会亲自上战场的，也就说能够派上用处的就有这18位。
其他的一些小领主，也有这其他的一些将领，不过沃尔斯也没有多少时间能够去一一查阅一下这些将领的真正作用，因此沃尔斯暂时拟定作战计划，就派以自己为首的18位将领来对抗马特拉斯伯爵和雷兰德伯爵手下的11位大将。
很快作战计划便拟定完毕，第二天的时候，诺德王国部的军队便开始进攻维鲁加。沃尔斯打算一战就把维鲁加给攻取。
马特拉斯伯爵和雷兰德伯爵亲自指挥战场，呆在他们身边的是十个人物，双杀，白弩，毒钩，火刀，木衣，断刃，绝影，幻变，追风，以及死亡之镰德鲁里。
至于那个神秘莫测的业火，却没有出现在这里。尽管说从情报来看，她穿着宽大的袍子，带着一张红色的面具，这样的形象特征沃尔斯在城墙之上找来找去都没有发现。跟谁在他身边的是17位将领，鲁德雅尔和伊登雅尔没有亲自上战场，他肯定是把他们手上的将领交给沃尔斯来指挥。
马特阿斯伯爵并没有对外公开他手下的十位大将的姓名，只是用特有的代号来称呼这些将领，使得它们神秘莫测，这些只是他的称呼，而不是他的名号，并不像那些死亡之镰，寒风骑士，这样是拥有的称号一般。
不用说，首先要干掉的人是使用远程的武器的弩。
白色的巨弩攻击力强大，在远程作战当中，能够迅速干掉中下级士官，这对于指挥协调自己的部队极为不利，因此沃尔斯打算派遣德赛维以及西尔斯就两个人干掉白弩。
战斗一开始的时候，德赛维和西尔斯站在诺德弓箭手的行列当中，目标对准的是城墙上面的白弩。
Both of them were using longbows, and they looked a good match together. There was a whooshing sound in the air, and it went without saying that it was the sound of the Nord archers starting to shoot. The reputation of the Nord archers was not very loud on the continent, and their combat power was limited. Although they shot a large number of arrows, they were responded with ruthless crossbow arrows from the Rhodok crossbowmen on the city wall.
That’s right, the Rhodok Kingdom has the most powerful crossbowmen on the continent, and there is no telling how many Rhodok archers there are on Viruga.
The role of the Nord archers was to cover Desevi and Sears. Their target was the white crossbows on the city wall. The Rhodok crossbowmen had strong long-range combat capabilities, and in the first wave of attack, the careless Nord archers were hit by arrows one after another.
