This time he used the hilt of the sword to attack, in order to capture Lord Kesto alive.
Afterwards, Lord Kesto could not endure Amirida's attack and she fell down helplessly.
And his other loyal guard, Glenbul, is now fighting with Joels. Glenbul is not Lord Kesto, he does not have an extremely noble status, he is just a small noble. When Joels faces him, he has no intention of holding back, and every move he makes is a fatal blow.
Grenbull could only defend passively. Suddenly, Joels swung the sword in his hand and made a few feints forward. This startled Grenbull so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. The sweat on his palms made it impossible for him to hold the hilt of the sword anymore. In fact, the sweat was only secondary. The main reason was psychological.
While he hesitated, Jowers's sword had already cut his throat.
Grenbull fell down, Joels looked at him and continued to move forward. There were still many Rhodok soldiers in Aaron's city who did not choose to surrender. This time, Wals wanted to wipe out the remnants of the Rhodok in one fell swoop.
Without the leadership of Lord Kesto and generals like Grenbul, most of the remaining Rhodok soldiers chose to surrender. In fact, the civilians did not have much resentment towards Wals. In the past, Wals had severely bullied the nobles who once stood above them, so they still had some good feelings towards Wals.
When Lord Kestor's flag was taken down and replaced with the flag of the white unicorn, the city gained new life.
After arranging a respected person as the mayor to temporarily manage Aaron, Wals began to distribute the surrendered Rhodok soldiers. Some Rhodok soldiers were transferred to the army by Wals. They could not stay in Aaron. In order to prevent them from gathering again to rebel, most of the Rhodok soldiers were transferred to the front line. But it's funny to say that now the Rhodok rebels have been eliminated, and Lord Kesto has been exiled by Wals. According to Wals, the only place he can be exiled is a few small islands on the seaside. Just find an uninhabited island to put Lord Kesto outside. Of course, the most important thing is that Lord Kesto's reputation is almost gone. He was defeated by Wals. I believe that no fool will support Lord Kesto to continue to oppose Wals.
After quickly arranging Aaron's situation, Wals began to return to Viruga, which was its capital. Now the entire Rock Kingdom was under the control of Wals. The top priority was to stabilize the situation and appease the civilians who were forced to displaced by the war. Once there were enough manpower, he could recruit soldiers from these villages.
When Wals returned to Viruga, it was already noon the next day. It was a forced march. Amirida and Joels led the remaining infantry to arrive later. Wals returned to Viruga first because there were many important documents that had not been reviewed in the kingdom during the past few days of suppressing the rebellion. He needed to rush back to his capital to manage the country's internal affairs.
As soon as I stepped into the castle hall, I saw a messenger standing on the left side of the castle hall.
It seems that this messenger should have received the notice long ago that Walls would return to Viruga within today.
Walls rubbed his eyes. He hadn't had a good sleep in the past few days, but since there was something going on, Walls would not delay.
"Your Majesty! The Sarande Sultanate has sent an envoy to us, asking you to send troops to aid the Sarande Sultanate. After the war, Sultan Hakim will give us a large sum of wealth in return."
The messenger saluted Wals and said respectfully that on Wals' right hand side was the mayor of Viruga. While Wals was away, the mayor of Viruga would temporarily manage the affairs of the town.
Seeing Walls looking at him, the mayor of Viruga nodded, indicating that this incident really happened.
"The messenger is here to greet you."
"Of course, Your Majesty. The envoys have been waiting here for a long time. They arrived two days ago."
"In this case, I cannot lose my manners and call him over. I want to meet him in person."
Walls waved and walked straight down the aisle to his throne.
As soon as he sat down, the door of the castle hall was opened again. Amidst a rumbling sound, a graceful woman appeared in front of Wals.
At this time, Wals was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Sultan Hakim would send a woman over?
However, Walls would never underestimate the person in front of him. Since the other party dared to send such a person, this person must have outstanding talents.
She was wearing a veil, which was purple, and the rich clothes he was wearing were also purple.
"A beauty!"
Walls blurted out, and the other party just smiled under the vaguely visible mask.
"Tell me! Why did Sultan Hakim send you here?"
Wals went straight to the point, but the messenger in front of him started talking from another aspect.
Your Majesty of the Kingdom of Karad, I have heard of your fame in the Sultanate of Sarand. When you were still the lord of the Kingdom of Nord, I already knew that you were going to dominate the continent."
Francine did not directly say what the Sarand Sultanate sent him to do, but first praised Wals, but Wals did not buy it at all.
"Don't praise me like that! I've heard that a lot! Tell me why Sultan Hakim sent you here?"
Walls waved his hand and didn't want Francine to continue. Francine was not surprised at Walls's reaction. She smiled slightly and began to ask Walls to continue.
"The Sultan sent me here to ask you to send reinforcements to aid our country."
Wals was not surprised to hear the news. Francine was not surprised at Wals's reaction. When Wals was fighting in the west, he also knew about the things in the east. The Sarande Sultanate is now in the midst of a civil war. Hakim Sultan's throne is being challenged by Alva, the Pearl of Light. The one who supports Alva is Falvia, the only female lord in the Sarande Sultanate. Speaking of Falvia, she has some similarities with Wals, both of them are fallen nobles.
"I don't like beating around the bush! Tell me directly what benefits I can get if I help Sultan Hakim? Don't tell me that you will give me a lot of wealth after the battle. I will not accept such empty promises. Compared with a lot of wealth, I need the stability of my country more."
Francine smiled faintly, not at all dissatisfied with Wals' tone, because he was in the position of a person seeking help. Sultan Hakim had suffered repeated defeats. Originally, the Sultan thought that he could defeat the Khergit Khanate with Falvia's ability, but he never expected that Falvia had won over a group of lords in the process of conquering the Khergit Khanate. Under the leadership of Falvia, this group of lords nominated Alva, the Pearl of Light, as the new queen of the Sarand Sultanate, which posed a huge threat to his throne.
By the time Sultan Hakim reacted, Falvia had already assembled a large army and conquered many castles in succession. Sultan Hakim and Falvia suffered defeat in every battle, and now he can only hide near the capital, Sharez, and survive. Some of the lords who followed him have been persuaded by Falvia.
In desperation, Sultan Hakim was able to send troops to ask for help from Wals. The Khergit Khanate was Sultan Hakim's mortal enemy, and they were now caught in a civil war. They would definitely not send troops to save the Sarand Sultanate. The situation in the Nordic Kingdom was similar. The newly restored Swadia Kingdom was also busy recovering lost territory. The only one that could request reinforcements was the newly established Karad Kingdom.
"Very good! Your Majesty! If you want stability in your country, you must have others to support you, because you are neither Lord Kesto nor King Graves. They are both the legitimate rulers of the Rhodok Kingdom, and you are just a usurper! You just conquered this land by force."
Francine said this calmly, not caring at all that her words had angered Walls.
If Wals was said like this, it would be like calling him a robber. The guards around Wals were all very angry. They were very angry at Francine for saying this directly. But Wals was Wals after all. He suppressed his unhappiness and continued, "Very good! Do you have any way to make me legitimate?"
"Sultan Hakim is the legitimate king of the continent. With his support, I believe your reputation will be more perfect, and it will be more legitimate for you to obtain the throne of Rhodok."
"Just this empty words? You want to send hundreds of my soldiers to die?"
“不！这仅仅是其中一条，陛下你是从诺德王国叛乱而起来的国家，当拉格纳国王平定叛乱之后，他首先要开刀的一定是你，尽管说先知勒斯汶和艾索娜夫人都是强有力的对手，但是整个诺德王国大部分的人都是向着拉格纳国王的，相信再隔过了一段时间之后，拉格纳就会整合他部的实力前来进攻你的领土，到时候你需要一个盟友来帮助。如果说法尔维娅成功帮助珍珠之光阿尔瓦夺取了萨兰德苏丹国的王位的话，我觉得它只会成为你的敌人而不会成为你的朋友，到时候你要独自一人面对拉格纳国王的愤怒。”
听罢之后，沃尔斯微微一笑。
“你认为我会害怕拉格纳国王吗？即使他还拥有着诺德王国境，以及斯瓦迪亚王国境，我也不会畏惧他的，我有高山我有河流，我还有一群诺德士兵和一群罗多克弩手，他们是不会打败我们的。”
“可是一样！你会损失惨重的，法尔维娅帮助珍珠之光阿尔瓦夺取了萨兰德苏丹国的王位之后，他会在你衰弱的时候给你致命的一击。”
“这确实是一个麻烦！不过很难说我帮助了哈基姆苏丹之后，他还会过来帮助我？他难道他不会和法尔维娅一样，在我疲惫的时候给我一刀子吗？”
弗朗辛早已经料到沃尔斯会说这句话了。
“萨兰德苏丹国的死敌是库吉特汗国！哈基姆苏丹只对征服库吉特有兴趣，她从未对罗多克的一寸土地起过兴趣！难道这还不够足够证明我们不会和陛下您翻脸的！况且我们需要一个盟友，在这个危机四伏的大陆上面，迫切需要一个朋友来帮助我们。”
沃尔斯没有再接着说话了，他陷入到沉思当中，法尔维娅是什么人沃尔斯也听说过，自己一直在征服罗多克王国，可是萨兰德苏丹国之所以能够轻易打败征服了维吉亚王国的库吉特汗国，主要还是归功于法尔维娅，可以说法尔维娅是一个强大的对手，如果在他的帮助下他能够统一整个萨兰德苏丹国的话。对自己产生的威胁一定很大，既然如此不如将这个人扼杀在摇篮之中。
沃尔斯直勾勾的看向眼前的弗朗辛，作为一个女性，他却不曾畏惧的将自己的眼神和沃尔斯对视。
“好的！我同意。”沃尔斯缓缓说道。
弗朗辛浅浅一笑，算是对沃尔斯的回答以作回礼，这一个时候，沃尔斯才深深的感觉到这一个女人和其他的人是不相同的，哈基姆苏丹居然派这样的一个女人倒自己的首都来劝说自己，确确实实是有着一定的原因的。
“你不走吗？我已经答应支持哈基姆苏丹，既然如此你应该赶紧动身回去禀告你们的苏丹，这可是一件好事不是吗？”
沃尔斯带着些许疑问说道！
“不！”弗朗辛义正言辞的说道，“我要跟着你一起，跟着你一起和你的军队一起回到萨兰德苏丹国，哈基姆苏丹要求我亲自和你一起回去，并且带着救兵。”
“这可真是一个好主意啊！哈基姆苏丹看来是一定要我派遣援兵过去了。”
沃尔斯点了点头，对于哈基姆苏丹的做法表示赞同，不过这一个做法却有点惹怒沃尔斯，但是大局为重，沃尔斯不会因此而有丝毫的变动。
当时，沃尔斯亲自带领着自己的士兵去进攻亚纶的叛军，他分封的六个领主则各自镇守着自己的领土，经过这一段时间的休养生息，这六个领主也在征召着他们的士兵，现在是时候将他们聚集在维鲁加了。
很快，沃尔斯的信使就把召集部队的命令传到维鲁加的各处，被分封的六个领主接到了沃尔斯的消息，他们匆匆忙忙带领着自己的士兵到达沃尔斯的所在地，对于他们来说，他们能够重新获得高级贵族的身份，成为一名领主，一切都要归功于沃尔斯，他们对沃尔斯是忠心耿耿的。
虽然说他们来自于大陆上面的不同国家，也有的来自于另外一片大陆，但是他们所在的封地都是罗多克的领地，因此他们征召的大多数士兵都是来自于罗多克王国的士兵，罗多克弩手是最强大的弩手，不过因为连续的征战，并没有多余的财富重新组装一批精锐的罗多克弩手，他们带来的大多都是刚刚应征入伍的新兵。
六位领主一共带来了约500名的士兵，看着这一个已经被战争所践踏的国家，还能够匆匆忙忙的在短时间之内召集出500名士兵，沃尔斯也是深有欣慰，再加上他自己本部的另外的500名诺德士兵，和其他的一些斯瓦迪亚骑士，总共1100人的军队，其中包括在亚伦投降的那一部分罗多克士兵，这1100人可以说其中的一半都是一群散兵游勇，如果说真的要论起战斗实力的话，还是要靠着沃尔斯自己所率领的那500名诺德士兵。
在自己的王国内部安插一部分兵力作为守卫之后，这1100名士兵便开始马不停蹄的朝着沙瑞兹开始前进。
在沃尔斯答应了弗朗辛的第二天，招集军队是需要时间的，可是六大领主匆匆忙忙的赶过来，他们的行军速度跟速度也是取决于他们对于沃尔斯的忠心。
弗朗辛对于沃尔斯召集军队的速度感觉到惊讶，哈基姆苏丹要是想从国各地招集领主的话，是要花费相当长的一段时间的，一小部分领主因为不满于国王的统治，他们会当走足够长的时间，往往就延误了军机。
此时，弗朗辛和沃尔斯并排走在一起，他们两个人都骑着一匹骏马，两人生活是王国内部的六大领主，在六大领主的身后，这是沃尔斯和六大领主的将领们。艾米瑞达和乔尔斯是站在最前的，自从艾雷恩和贝斯图尔等人成为了领主之后，他们就接手了沃尔斯手下大将的位置。
从维鲁加开始出发，往东南方向开始前进，在越过的平原草原与森林之后，一望无际的沙漠便出现在眼前最好在罗多克王国和萨兰德苏丹国接壤的一个城堡，这是平原与沙漠交界之处的卫耶哈堡，在他的南边，就是靠近海岸的沙瑞兹，沙瑞兹是萨兰德苏丹国的首都，哈基姆苏丹已经被困在这里许久了，虽然说在沙瑞兹的东边，是都库巴，而都库巴却没有被法尔维娅所攻破，对于法尔维娅来说，都库巴的战略位置似乎已经变得不再重要了，他已经集结了他手下的那一群追随他的领主，和他名义上所侍奉的女王珍珠之光阿尔瓦一起集结在特拉玛堡附近，特拉玛堡距离都库巴的位置比较近，可是法尔维娅的军队已经渐渐出现在特拉玛堡西边的村庄了，哈基姆苏丹惊恐万分，都库巴里面的守军他已经是联系不上了，任何试图靠近特拉玛堡和都库巴里面的守军进行联络的信使都已经被法尔维娅给截断了。哈基姆苏丹只能够躲在沙瑞兹里面狠狠的咒骂着法尔维娅。
可是咒骂归咒骂，哈基姆苏丹还是拿法尔维娅没有任何的办法，渐渐的，大军已经开始集结出现在特拉玛堡西边的村庄附近，越来越多的征召开始预示着法尔维娅要直接进攻沙瑞兹。虽然说这可能出现一定的风险，比如要是沙瑞兹没有进攻下来的话，后面的都库巴的守军便可以和沙瑞兹德哈基姆苏丹的军队前后夹击法尔维娅。
可是谁知道这个疯女人是怎么想的呢？他丝毫不顾及都库巴的守军，扬言说只要拿下了沙瑞兹，只要拿下了萨兰德苏丹国的首都，珍珠之光阿尔瓦就可以重新继承大统，成为新的萨兰德苏丹国的女王。其实真实情况也是如同法尔维娅所想的那样，都库巴的领主已经畏畏缩缩的躲在都库巴的城市里面的，名义上他对于哈基姆苏丹还是支持的，可是谁知道他会不会在哈基姆苏丹落败的时候倒戈投降呢？
或许吧，他仅仅只是在观望而已，他认为哪一方得利他就投靠谁，这是一场决战，决定谁才是成为萨兰德苏丹国的统治者的战争，而这一场战争就要在沙瑞兹附近开始发生。
沃尔斯的援军将会成为这一场战争至关重要的因素，哈基姆苏丹现在只是苟延残喘的只剩下1500人的士兵，众多的领主都已经失去了封地，而法尔维娅却聚集了2000多人。
Falvia and Pearl of Light Alva have gathered their troops near Shariz. His scouts have also reported to him that Francine has brought reinforcements from the newly established Kingdom of Karad. Falvia is well aware of the reputation of Wals. He feels that he cannot underestimate this opponent. This is Falvia's tent. Although she is a woman, she still sits in the tent like a man and waits for the report from the scouts.
Soon, the scout brought back the information Falvia wanted. This was Gozert, one of his right-hand men and the first person to follow Falvia.
He looks sneaky, just like Wallace's Bolcha.
"Marshal! Wals has led his troops to station near Fort Ha. If possible, we can gather our troops and charge directly towards Fort Weiyeha!"
Gozert knelt on one knee and reported to Falvia. As the rebel marshal of the Sarand Sultanate, Falvia's status was second only to Alva, the Pearl of Light.
