"Edenyar! Do you remember how the Vols conquered the Rhodok Kingdom?"
Rudjar looked into the distance, not looking at Edenjar. Edenjar just realized that he had seen a strategy to defeat Wals. But in a flash, Eden seemed to remember something.
"No! I think this will definitely play into Wals's hands. The last time he attacked Aaron, it was because Aaron's defense was empty. But now we are attacking Aaron again. Although there are not many soldiers there, Wals must have been prepared. Judging from Wals's cautious nature, he will definitely not let us enter Aaron like this."
If Idenyar's suspicion made him miss the best opportunity, in fact, Wals even gave up any part of Aaron. For him, defending the two cities of Viruga and Jelkala was the top priority. He knew how many troops he had, but he didn't know how much territory he could defend with his own strength. Moreover, Wals' control over Aaron was the weakest, and Aaron could launch a national restoration movement at any time and anywhere.
But in the end, Idenyar came up with a good idea, because the cunning Tuyayar was by her side, and at the same time many other lords were also making plans. These veteran lords were all battle-hardened and had extremely rich combat experience. It stood to reason that it would be perfect for them to come up with a way to attack Viruga.
According to Tuyaar's method, the army of the Nord Kingdom avoided Agollon Castle and Grunwald Castle, did not attack these two castles at all, and went directly through the forest between the two castles.
In the forest, the lush leaves are the best fuel for the flames. Wals' scouts have already discovered the unusual movements in the forest. In fact, Wals has deployed scouts near this forest. A large number of scouts have poured into this area, which is a forbidden zone for death. When the birds in the forest fly over the forest one after another, Wals' scout Bolcha has discovered all the unusual movements. His keen hearing and extraordinary vision allow him to discover things that ordinary people cannot discover.
"Look! Those people were not paying attention when they were walking. Such a big movement has been completely discovered by me."
Bolcha, who was lurking in the forest, spoke to his other scout companions. Those scout companions were all extremely surprised, because to them, they had not noticed that the Nord army was marching in this forest. Under the leadership of Idenyar and Tuyayar, this Nord army was a well-trained army. They marched cautiously in the forest with an orderly and slow pace.
This also made it difficult for them to be discovered by scouts, but fortunately, Wals had people like Bolcha, which enabled it to discover the enemy's location while so many people were moving.
Bolcha watched the Nord army slowly advancing, and then she patted her companion's shoulder. He whispered, "Men, it's time to report back to the superiors. Believe the leader, His Majesty will definitely arrange a fire to burn them all. Enjoy the beauty of the forest, because we may not see these tall trees for a long time, but we can have barbecue tonight."
Bolcha still had a beautiful fantasy, but the scouts could only think of the charred corpses. They couldn't help but frown.
As he was thinking, his body immediately started moving, and soon they returned to Wals's base. In fact, Wals's camp had been arranged outside the suburbs of Viruga, which was also to resist the attack of the enemy army.
"Your Majesty!" Wals could hear Bolcha's sharp cry from a distance. At this time, Wals had become the king of the Kingdom of Karad, and it was natural for people to call him Your Majesty.
Although the title of His Majesty will still be recognized by everyone on the continent, as time goes by, or when Wals wins the war and forces King Ragnar to recognize his status, he can rightfully become the king of the Kingdom of Karad.
"Your Majesty! I have found the enemy's tracks in that forest. They are moving as slowly as caterpillars. Send someone to set fire to the forest immediately. I believe they will be burned to ashes.
Bolcha was still wearing camouflage clothes, with leaves and branches entangled around his body, and his face was covered with some unknown substance, which smelled like tree sap. However, Wals approached him without any disdain.
"Very good! You have made great contributions in this war in Bolcha! Now you can go back to the camp and have a good rest, and wait for the celebration party in the evening."
After hearing this, Bolcha smiled with joy, and after paying a stiff courtesy to Wals, he returned to his camp. He was still a beginner and was still a little uncomfortable with the various etiquettes. Wals had become the king, and as someone close to the king, he must of course know some basic etiquette.
After watching Bolcha leave, Wals turned around and spoke to the row of people behind her.
Behind Walsh was row after row of elite soldiers ready to go. They were all veterans who had followed Walsh in battles for years and were loyal to him.
"Everyone! I didn't want to make things like this, but King Ragnar slandered me, destroyed my honor, and wanted to take away my fiefdom. No one is allowed to infringe my title and my honor. This time, King Ragnar's elite troops have already attacked. The enemies ahead may be your former comrades, but now they have become enemies. I know you don't want to raise your butcher knife against your comrades, so go and tell them to leave this forest and never come back."
Wals pointed his sword, with the tip of the sword pointing towards the forest.
“Guys! Go shout to that forest, let them feel your call, let them leave here. Because one step forward will lead to the hell of death. If they continue forward, they will only turn into a pile of bones.”
Under the leadership of the officers, the soldiers walked to the edge of the forest in an orderly manner. At this moment, the Nord army led by Idenjar had not yet reached the edge of the forest. They were just in the center of the forest. If the people outside threw torches into the forest, they would probably be burned to ashes. Some people said that there would be no fire behind the forest and they still had a way to retreat, but this was a big mistake. A group of scouts had already ambushed near the forest. The Nord Kingdom was not very familiar with the terrain here, and most of the soldiers who conquered the Rhodok Kingdom stood on the side of Vols.
In the forest, the Nord army was marching, and suddenly they saw flocks of birds taking off in front of them. Their tense hearts suddenly realized that something had happened in front of them. They clenched their weapons, ready to fight at any time.
Originally they thought that what was waiting for them in front of them was the weapon of death, but suddenly he realized that it was not that cold-blooded weapon, but a kind call from his comrades.
Rough and noisy, these attributes all come from the voices of the Nords. The Nords' high emotions and voices are transmitted through the air to the ears of every Nord soldier in the forest. They suddenly remembered the day and moment when they fought side by side with their comrades.
Gradually, their will to fight began to slacken, and memories made them slack in spirit. Idenjar was also somewhat sentimental, but he was a veteran after all, and with rich combat experience, he quickly recovered from those cowardly thoughts. At this moment, he saw that the expressions of the Nord soldiers around him changed, from the original determination to die and the will of the Nords to fight to the last moment to infinite nostalgia.
This kind of thought should not appear at this time.
Idenyar suddenly realized the danger now. If he didn't do something to save the fighting spirit of this group of Nord soldiers, he would be defeated without a fight. Wals could win without losing a single soldier.
Idenyar opened his mouth and tried to suppress his soldiers' foolish nostalgia.
But then something strange happened!
A familiar voice came from the sky above the forest. Edenyar could almost guess without thinking that this voice came from that person. He had undoubtedly heard this kind of voice many times. This was the voice of Wals.
"My former comrades! I didn't want to betray King Ragnar. It was because King Ragnar was so aggressive that I betrayed him. It wasn't my fault. If you take another step forward, the flames will burn every part of your body. My former comrades! I don't want to hurt you. Now you should leave this place quickly!"
沃尔斯原本的威信就足够的强大,此时在森林的上空突然出现的沃尔斯的声音,使得这些沉浸在无限怀念当中的诺德士兵出现了动摇之心。
伊登雅尔也知道自己无力再挽回这些诺德士兵的心了。有着丰富的作战经验的他,看了一看正在自己身边的图亚雅尔,图亚雅尔的双目凝视着远方,尽管前面是一层又一层的树叶和树枝,图亚雅尔完望不见前方到底有什么人。可是他头盔之下的那一双眼睛却隐藏着不为人知的睿智。
“图亚雅尔!我觉得我们还是退兵比较好。士兵的士气已经动摇了,在他们面前的本来就是在诺德王国名满大陆的沃尔斯,如果说我们强行逼迫自己的诺德士兵进行攻击的话,后果一定是不堪设堪设想的。毋庸置疑我们会被沃尔斯大军给击溃的。不如趁着现在赶紧收兵回家吧。”
伊登雅尔叹了一口气之后说道,这是最后的办法了,如果说继续带领着这些士兵前进的话,无疑是前往死亡的坟墓。图亚雅尔点了点头,在场的其他元老级领主也没有任何的意义,此时伊登雅尔重新率领着一群士兵按原路返回。沃尔斯的侦察兵也迅速向沃尔斯传达了这一个消息。
在后方的侦察兵告诉沃尔斯这一个消息之后,沃尔斯的军队都是大声欢呼着,他们不用再和自己的战友剑刃相向。这是值得庆幸的一件事情。
“陛下!这一场不战而胜的事迹一定会被后人所赞赏。而你的尊号也会得到别人的承认。”
艾米瑞达半跪在沃尔斯的面前,沃尔斯听见艾米瑞达所说的话之后,也就是点了点头。并没有多说话。紧接着他缓慢的转那你转过头将自己的目光望向了那一片森林。此时诺德王国的军队已经撤退回去了,看得出来伊登雅尔是不会再继续带领士兵南下进攻了,现在他要处理一下罗多克王国的那一群残余分子。自己将大量的兵力调集到维鲁加附近,这个时候地方上面的守军力量薄弱,那难保那些罗多克王国的残余分子出来闹事。
另一方面,那颜忽古所率领的那一部分轻骑兵在斯瓦迪亚骑士平原之上驰骋着,他们的要求和任务极其简单,就是尽可能的抢夺一切物资与财富。库吉特汗国的另一支军队由马尔塔斯率领,他北上和拉格纳国王亲自带领的一支军队相遇了。
鲁德堡,这是属于鲁德雅尔的领地,此时此刻,马尔塔斯在这附近和拉格纳国王所集结的一支部队相遇的。
这两支军队一经相遇,拉格纳国王的军队便溃不成军,马尔塔斯乘胜追击,拉格纳所率领的军队一直向北边退去,知道他们退到一条河流为止,在拉格纳国王军队的后面是一条河流,弯弯曲曲的河流阻碍着诺德人的后退路线。马尔塔斯有些轻举妄为了,对于马尔塔斯来说,他认为凭借着自己的才能击溃拉格纳国王是理所当然的事情。
本来他就是准备和拉格纳国王来决战的,此时此刻拉格纳光犯了一些致命的错误,从刚才的交手来看,马尔塔斯一直占据上风。
此时此刻,认为一切都已经稳妥的马尔塔斯开始得意忘形的。他的脸上浮现的必须嘲弄的笑容,即使是由有着丰富作战经验的拉格纳国王此时也不顾如此。可是异变就此而发生。
在这一条河流附近的森林当中,突然就杀出了一支诺德军队,而此时此刻马尔塔斯的所有轻骑兵都已经被派往前面去进攻拉格纳国王的部队,也就是说在马尔塔斯的中心大帐附近,没有多少兵力来保护她。这一支突袭的队伍没有优秀的将领来率领,可是依然势如破竹,因为他们都是一群诺德皇家侍卫。
一名库吉特轻骑兵飞奔的跑向诺德皇家侍卫,他手中的轻型骑枪如果命中了诺德皇家侍卫的话,就可以像撕碎一张薄纸一般撕碎他们的身体,可是在他们的骑枪还没有触碰到诺德皇家侍卫的时候,一把飞斧便直挺挺的插进了他们的胸口。库吉特轻骑兵所穿戴的铠甲是普通的皮甲,提供的防御极其有限。
这名轻骑兵摔下马来,现在的他已经变成了一具尸体,这只是战场上面的一个普普通通的写着,越来越多的轻骑兵被诺德皇家是我的飞斧给击中,偶尔有几个轻骑兵能够躲开这一波飞斧的攻击,但是他们座下的马儿却没有这么幸运了,那些战马在种了飞斧之后速度明显下降,因为速度的下降导致了动能的不足,而动能的不足又直接导致骑枪威力大大折损,诺德皇家侍卫穿戴着重型铠甲,并且手中还配备了特制的诺德皇家世伟圆盾。这样的防护使得他们可以免受于伤害。
因此当那几位幸运而又倒霉的轻骑兵冲到诺德皇家侍卫的阵地当中的时候,一把接着一把的巨斧将他们活生生的撕成碎片。
这完就是野兽的行径。
马尔塔斯在自己的心里暗暗骂到,完忘记了他们自己军队的作风。可是此时此刻自己除了撤退又能够有什么办法呢?正想着,一把飞斧从自己的耳边滑过,他的几根头发就这样被斩断了。马尔塔斯顿时心惊肉跳,但是拥有着特殊心理素质的他不可能被这一把飞斧给吓倒,很快他就恢复了常态。脸上露出了前所未有的从容与镇定。在他身边死死护卫的四名轻骑兵看见自己的主帅露出了前所未有的镇定之后,他们也跟着缓和起来。前方越来越多的轻骑兵被诺德皇家侍卫撕成了碎片。
马尔塔斯指挥着为数不多的库吉特轻骑兵写出了库吉特人特有的打法,用一种放风筝的方式来射击那些诺德士兵。
可是,早就已经和库吉特汗国的人交手多次的诺德士兵早已经不畏惧这种打法了,曾经他们也见识过库吉特汗国的这一种打法,见怪不怪的他们举起自己手中的盾牌,开始放慢速度。一切都是为了能够和自己的战友肩并肩的前进。对付这种远程攻击,盾牌成为了他们最有力的防护武器。
尽管那些速度飞快的库吉特骑射手可以很轻易的射出他们手中的箭,并且因为他们常年在马背上面生活,使得他们弹无虚发。即使是骑射也是一流的骑射。可是面对徐徐推进的诺德皇家侍卫,第一次库吉特汗国的骑射手犯难了。
马尔塔斯站在远处看着徐徐朝着自己逼近的诺德皇家侍卫,对面没有一个他认识的有名的统领,或者说这一次带队冲锋的诺德皇家侍卫只是一群无名之辈罢了,尽管说他们是一群精英部队。
自己的骑射手的打法根本就没有奏效,没有一名诺德皇家侍卫倒下,相反她们还趁着间隙从自己的背后掏出飞斧,一把接着一把的飞斧洞穿着骑射手的胸口。
马尔塔斯作为中军主帅,不能够有任何的气站,他如果要是逃跑了,那么正在前面和拉格纳国王部队奋战的那一群库吉特枪骑兵就会迅速撤离。
为作为中心头上他必须要站在这里,眼睁睁的看着面前的敌人一步接着一步前进。马尔塔斯的心又凝重了几分。
是我太大意了!
马尔塔斯知道自己现在不是检讨自己的时候,要么就迅速撤退以减少伤亡,要么就和前面的那一群诺德皇家侍卫拼死一战。
猛然之间,马尔塔斯拔出了自己腰间的佩剑,就意味着他进入了戒备状态,在他身边护卫的轻骑兵此时也停住了呼吸,说不定下一秒的时候,他们的统帅就会命令他们向前冲锋。
处在战场最中心的拉格纳国王以及他麾下的士兵,都在抵抗着库吉特枪骑兵的冲锋,枪骑兵们来去如风,不过在拉格纳国王有效的指挥之下,这一群诺德士兵组成了坚固的防线。一时半会儿库吉特枪骑兵是无法攻破这道防线的。拉格纳国王已经得知了消息,自己的诺德皇家侍卫就快要把马尔塔斯给抓住了。即使抓不住马尔塔斯也可以让他自己先行撤退,这也算是知己了马尔塔斯想要捣毁自己首都的野心。
深吸了一口气,马尔塔斯执导自己这样鲁莽的冲上去,绝对只有死路一条,即使说自己在怎么继续作战的话!也不可能打败前面的那一群诺德皇家侍卫,既然如此的话,那么只有先行撤退了。
“收兵感到所有的人跟我撤退!”
马尔塔斯丢下了一句让身边的护卫越感惊讶的话,不过随之而来他们也松了一口气,连很快有几名护卫就冲到前线预示着前线的那一群中下级的指挥官命令他们的麾下测绘。
The Kugit Lancers came and went quickly, and when they returned to the battlefield, they disappeared completely. King Ragnar looked at the backs of the Kugit Khanate's army leaving, and he already felt pain for the Kugit Khanate. If there was a chance, King Ragnar would not mind destroying the Kugit Khanate.
But then he thought again, the Khergit Khanate had become an empire as powerful as his own. Ever since the Vols declared independence from the south, King Ragnar suddenly realized that there was no one who could conquer the entire continent for him.
The Vols, which originally belonged to them, has declared independence from the south, which means that all the land within the southern Rhodok Kingdom belongs to the Vols.
