Chapter 58: Preparation for a Fight to the Death



There was a madness in Drewry's eyes, just like King Graves at this moment. His retreat had been cut off, and now the only way to survive was to capture Walls alive.

The death scythe made a series of explosive sounds, and the sound of weapons cutting through the air was heard. Amirida's eyes moved, and her horse suddenly exerted force, breaking away from Drewry's attack at an extremely fast speed, swinging the scythe but still not giving up the pursuit. Compared with the speed of the warhorse and the horse, Amirida's horse was still faster, but just running away, not attacking, could not solve the problem. Suddenly, Amirida turned her horse's head.

"Want to fight me directly?" Drewry roared suddenly. To him, Emilida in front of him was just a turtle in a jar. There were densely packed Rhodok soldiers nearby, and this guy had no way to escape.

Emilida smiled without saying anything, and thrust out the knight's sword in her hand suddenly. After a few feints, she turned around and started to run away. Drewry's fierce aura suddenly burst out. These tentative attacks completely angered him.

"You bastard, I will tear you into pieces."

The two men moved one in front and one behind, and unknowingly left the vicinity of their respective soldiers. Only then did Drewry realize that he had been fooled. If he did not lead the Rhodok soldiers to attack, it would be difficult to capture Wals alive in a short time.

"Now it's time for us to fight."

Amirida stopped his warhorse, and his horse stood with its head held high, not afraid at all of the warhorse in front of it that was more ferocious than him.

Drewry's horse was covered in armor, sacrificing some mobility in exchange for absolute defense. At this moment, he hated Amirida to the core. The two had fought in Viruga, but because of their similar strength, they were evenly matched and could not determine the winner. Later, Count Leland was captured and Count Matras was captured as the commander-in-chief. It was obvious that the battle situation would be one-sided, so Drewry had to leave Viruga first.

At this time, Drewry had realized that he had no way out and he had to make a decision here no matter what.

The focus shifted to the other side. Fire Knife and Huanbian, who escaped from Viruga, met four of Wals's men, Resarit, Niza, Fatis, and Matilde.

Two people fighting against four people are obviously at a disadvantage, but fortunately, they are led by more than 2,000 Rhodok soldiers. Although the Nord army can fight one against two, so many people gathered together and their morale is high. It is still unknown who will win and who will lose.

This place is on the left wing where both sides are fighting, and in the middle, King Gryphus has poison hooks and double kills beside him.

The poison hook in his hand had killed more than a dozen Nord soldiers. In the crowd, he let out bursts of strange laughter, with a crazy look in his eyes, which also showed that he was in a state of extreme excitement.

“Kill!”

Du Hook was laughing wildly, and suddenly, he found a familiar figure in front of him. This person was wearing exquisite armor and a special helmet on his head, and his eyes exuded a calm and steady look.

"Aileen!"

Du Hook almost roared as he spoke, the person she dreamed of killing now appeared in front of him.

Desperately and like a madman, Hook rushed towards Airen, waving his chain.

Airen did not ride a warhorse, and the same was true for Hook. As Rhodoks, few of them fought on warhorses.

The chain of the poison hook has a hook tied to its tail, and the hook is coated with deadly poison. After the poison hook swings its chain and gains enough kinetic energy, it suddenly throws it forward. The powerful force wraps around the ferocious poison hook. If an ordinary person encounters such a hook, he might die on the spot, but Airen raised his sword above his head at the same speed. The action seems careless, but in fact it injects it with powerful force.

The chain and the sword collided, and Ailen's sword was entangled and caught by the chain. Seeing this, Poison Hook laughed strangely.

"I caught you again. You can't run away this time."

"I don't think you can escape."

A sharp look flashed from the eyes of both men almost at the same time, and they seemed to have entered a situation on the battlefield where no one was trying their best, and no soldiers, whether enemy or friendly, intervened in their fight.

On the other side, Jack, holding a big ax, stood alone against Double Kill. Double Kill's force was extremely powerful and suppressed Jack.

Seeing this, Hogarth wanted to step forward to help, but was rejected by Jack.

"If you dare to come over and hinder our duel, we will no longer be good brothers."

After saying this harsh words, Hoggs stopped and led ordinary Nord soldiers to resist the Rock army.

Many generals were resisting the Rhodok soldiers on the battlefield, but the most dazzling among the enemies was not Drewry and those generals, but King Gryphus who led the army in person.

He rode a sturdy warhorse with a heavy armor on it, which provided great defense. All the Nord soldiers blocking his way were knocked away by the warhorse. Following him was a group of special forces unique to the Rhodok Kingdom. These guys were called Giant Bear Knights.

But the number of Giant Bear Knights was pitifully small. They were just a cavalry unit established by King Gryphus after the defeat of Suno, with only a dozen people.

A huge knight's sword is the weapon used by King Gryfus. Like a cutting machine, this group of knights crushed one Nord soldier after another wherever they passed.

"Wols, this time it's time for me to wash away my previous shame with blood."

The sound is as loud as thunder and full of momentum.

A gust of wind blew up, and the person who appeared before King Gryphus was the one he wanted to see but was afraid to see.

"King Graves, I will not let you escape this time."

Wals was holding the Cliff Blade and riding a strong warhorse. Like King Gryphus, his horse was covered in armor. Behind him was a group of sub-armored Swadian knights.

When he first saw Walls appear, King Griffiths's majesty suddenly dropped by half, as if he was a mouse seeing a cat. But the next second, King Griffiths' body expanded extremely, and he turned from a tiny mouse into a huge bear.

"Wols!"

King Graves gnashed his teeth and shouted his name in extreme anger. Then, without saying anything else, he drove his warhorse forward, crushing the bodies of soldiers who were either enemies or ours. The knight's sword in his hand was ready to attack at any time, and his eyes were fixed on Wals' heart.

A fatal blow, this victory is mine.

But in front of him, Wals also moved as he pleased. Although the Cliff Blade had been burned by flames and its power was weakened compared to before, it was still more than enough to cut through King Gryphus's armor. The warhorse was neighing, and behind him were the charging Swadian knights. Wals was the first to stand in the front line of the battle, and the two teams suddenly collided with each other.

The two groups of people collided with each other, and a scene that Walls could not believe happened. The giant bear knight behind King Graves actually knocked his own knight away with his horse. The elite troops of the Swadia Kingdom seemed to become a blank sheet of paper in front of this group of giant bear knights.

"You are shocked, right? This is the secret unit that I am proud of. After you attacked and defeated me, I noticed the importance of cavalry on the plains. You should know that I have never been afraid of you. This team appeared just to defeat you."

King Gryphus laughed wildly, and his old face suddenly became ferocious. All this was caused by Wals.

Wals's expression remained unchanged, because he knew that he could not panic at this moment. The soldiers behind him were paying attention to him. If he showed panic, it would spread to his army like a plague.

"No matter how powerful your team is, there are only ten of them. I will tear them apart one by one."

Wals spoke fiercely, and as soon as he finished speaking, his horse rushed towards the giant bear rider closest to him.

A gust of wind blew, and the sub-armored giant bear knight had no time to defend himself. The cliff blade suddenly stabbed out and pierced the heart of the giant bear knight.

"Nothing more!"

He turned around and stared at King Graves with contempt. The latter became even crazier.

"No, you have been trapped in my encirclement. Giant Bear Knights, get rid of this guy for me."

Now there are only 9 Giant Bear Knights left. The other four are used to resist the team of Swaadian Knights, and the remaining five Giant Bear Knights are rushing towards Wals with heavy lances in hand. With the help of the powerful kinetic energy of the war horses and the huge power of the lances, ordinary people will definitely be pierced through the body by this lance charge. No armor can remain intact under the lance charge.

The fierce bear knights were like the gods of death on the battlefield. The Swadian knights seemed much weaker in front of them. Several Swadian knights had been killed by the bear knights. However, there were many Swadian knights. Two of them had died, and the remaining two were seriously injured. It was difficult to fight one against two, especially the famous Swadian knights. King Graves was not good at fighting. He just watched quietly.

The other Nord soldiers also gradually moved towards this side. It was obvious that they saw that their commander was in danger, but the Rhodok soldiers were not to be outdone. These Rhodok soldiers, who were fighting for their homes and their families, moved towards the Nord soldiers like the wind. They picked up simple weapons and fought desperately against the Nord soldiers. Therefore, a considerable number of Nord soldiers were held back by this group of ordinary Rhodok soldiers, and only a small number of Nord soldiers came to rescue Vols.

Five giant bear knights rushed over from five different directions, leaving Walls with no way to avoid them.

"Since there is no way to avoid it, then I will fight to the death."

Wals did not use the lance. The weapon in his hand was still the Cliff Blade. Five lances charged towards him, and after choosing a direction, Wals rode his horse towards a giant bear knight.

The four giant bear knights formed a tail-chasing trend. They ran behind Wals, and in front of Wals, Wals rushed towards the giant bear knight. The cliff blade and the giant bear knight's lance crossed, and his lance was actually caught by Wals.

Under the Giant Bear Knight's surprised gaze, the Walls Cliff Blade suddenly slashed downward, and the lance was cut off.

That's not all. After the Giant Bear Knight's lance was cut off, the horse under him did not stop moving. Instead, it missed Wals and rushed forward. The four giant knights behind him obviously couldn't stop, and the lance of one Giant Bear Knight accidentally stabbed the horse of the unlucky Giant Bear Knight, and the Giant Bear Knight fell off the horse.

After making sure that their companions were not injured, the remaining four Giant Bear Knights continued to chase Wals, but at this moment, the four Giant Bear Knights actually saw Wals driving his warhorse towards them.

What's going on? Can't he see that there are four more people on his side?

The armors worn by the four giant bear knights were like iron barrels, and they were covered with hard armor from head to toe, which provided them with sufficient defense. Unless it was a magical weapon like the Cliff Blade, no one could break through this layer of defense.

Just as the remaining four giant bear knights were about to launch a charge, they suddenly discovered a dense layer of Nord warriors appearing behind Wals.

He is not fighting alone!

This information suddenly appeared in the minds of the Giant Bear Knights. But for the sake of the country, what would it matter if they died on this battlefield? Even if there were thousands of troops in front of them, they would never retreat. Besides, rushing to the front was their primary goal.

"Take him down, for the sake of the motherland!"

The Giant Bear Knights launched a final charge towards Wals with the determination to die.

The strong belief turned into tremendous power. Before the four giant bear knights rushed to Wals, they saw a sky full of axes in front of them. This was a common tactic used by Nord warriors. Every time they fought in close combat with the enemy, they would throw flying axes to weaken the enemy's physical strength.

All you could hear was a series of bang bang sounds coming from the Giant Bear Knight's body.

Because of the solid armor as protection, the flying axes only left a shallow mark on the armor, but the strong impact still caused some pain, and these giant bear knights still had an indelible pain in their brains. This could easily affect their thinking ability.

"Never retreat!" shouted a giant bear knight in the lead, and an incredible aura suddenly appeared from his body.

This really scared the Nord soldiers on the battlefield. His roar made the Nords also feel fear and shock.

However, a scene that shocked the Giant Bear Knight appeared. The speed of Wals, who was rushing towards them, did not slow down but increased, and his eyes exuded a calmness and composure that ordinary people could not have. The four people crossed paths with Wals, and the Giant Bear Knight who was the leader was beheaded.

Wals's arms were scratched by the lance on both sides, and his armor was badly damaged, revealing the bloody flesh inside.

"Warriors, kill these three for me."

As soon as the words fell, the Nord warriors behind Wals rushed forward to fill the gap on the battlefield. A group of Nord warriors wearing metal armor took up their battle axes and were not afraid of the tall and strong giant bear knights. In front of the large number of Nord warriors, these giant bear knights were just a few corpses. In the unwilling anger of the giant bear knights, they were torn to pieces by the Nord warriors' axes.

After witnessing the fall of the Giant Bear Knight, Wals turned his head to the other side. In the distance, the battle between Amyrida and Drewry was still going on. This time, Wals was not in a hurry to worry about Amyrida.

He brandished the sword in his hand and pulled the reins, causing his mount to turn around.

The battle was not over yet, the sounds of fighting could be heard everywhere, and corpses could be seen everywhere, most of which were the bodies of Rhodok soldiers. After all, they were just ordinary farmers who had just been conscripted into the army not long ago. They had no formal training and no sophisticated equipment. Facing the Nord warriors who dominated the continent with their foot combat, these ordinary Rhodok soldiers were just coming to die.

Looking across the battlefield littered with corpses, Wals fixed his gaze on a man in armor who was commanding his soldiers to resist the charge of the Swadian knights.

The bear knights were killed in the battle. The Swadian knights were weaker than the bear knights. After all, they were the last trump card of King Graves. However, they were outnumbered. Therefore, when they were outnumbered, the Swadian knights finally killed the bear knights who were holding them back after losing several of their companions. With this, they were free to capture King Graves. Unfortunately, following Graves's footsteps, a group of Rhodok soldiers rushed into the camp of Wals.

This is why he was not caught for a while. There were still some elite Rhodok soldiers who escaped from Viruga. King Gryphus gathered these elite troops and let him command them personally. The broadsword and spear were powerful weapons against cavalry. These elite Rhodok soldiers arranged their battle formations while the giant bear knights were holding back the Swadian knights, giving them enough time for the Rhodok soldiers to arrange their battle formations, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of breaking through them.

Wals frowned, endured the pain in his body, and ran as fast as he could to the side of King Graves. Now he would personally command the soldiers to break through King Graves' last line of defense.

When Wals's warhorse passed by King Griffith, King Griffith roared angrily at Wals through a group of Rolok soldiers.

"You damned fellow, my Giant Bear Knight failed to send you to hell. In that case, this is also a chance given to me by the gods, a chance for me to kill you with my own hands."

As he spoke, King Gryphus brandished the greatsword in his hand. The sword was extremely sharp and stained with blood. It was obvious that he had killed several Nord soldiers.

"This sword is the sword that will kill you."

The resentment in King Gryphus' eyes grew stronger, and a fierce aura radiated from him in all directions, which inspired his Rhodok soldiers.

Wals did not answer. As he passed by King Gryphus, he was observing the group of Rhodok soldiers surrounding him. There were two circles of Rhodok soldiers in total. The outermost circle of Rhodok soldiers raised their shields and held short-bladed soldier knives in their hands, which was a light and effective saber. The inner circle of Rhodok soldiers held up broadswords and spears. They were all long weapons, and they extended these long weapons between the shields.

This defensive formation is extremely basic, but it can easily defend against cavalry charges. If any cavalry dares to face such a formation, they will definitely be stabbed into hedgehogs by swords and spears.

Soon, Wals arrived at the place where his soldiers were making money. This group of Swadian knights and some Nord soldiers nearby remained motionless. They had seen Wals coming towards them, which meant that they would command them personally. Moreover, the formation in front was extremely difficult to break. They were in the rear where the two armies were fighting. Therefore, the Nord and Rhodok soldiers who were concentrating on dealing with the enemy in front of them had no time to take care of the situation here. Wals' soldiers gathered here were only a part of the soldiers in the rear.

He looked at the expectant eyes of his soldiers and knew that these guys were waiting for his arrival.

Since King Gryphus said some inspiring words to inspire his soldiers, I should do the same.

Walls turned to his soldiers and spoke to them.

"Soldiers, you are all the most powerful warriors on the continent, and in front of you is the Rock Army that we once defeated. This time we must defeat our defeated opponents again. Everyone, follow me and charge forward."

“We will win!”

I don't know which clever soldier shouted this word, and then the soldiers nearby all shouted this word. The shouts one after another clearly overwhelmed the Rhodok soldiers.

After getting a satisfactory result, Walls turned his gaze again. King Graves was wearing a helmet, and Walls could not see the emotions in his eyes at such a far distance.
