Rackman explained slowly, without considering Gozert's inner thoughts at all. He was originally just an ordinary scout. Although he was doing well under Falvia's command, his fighting ability was not very high.
Gozert didn't say anything. He knew who was the boss here. Rackman led a powerful cavalry team, and he had proven to be the strongest here anyway.
"But I don't want to let you go. I can see that the sneaky guy in front of you is a scout, and our Gozert is also a scout. Why don't I let you compete? If you win, all of you will become my prisoners. If you lose, I will take everyone away from here."
Laxman had a smug smile on his face. He knew that Fatis would not refuse his proposal. Fatis's expression changed slightly. His army was too weak, so he had to suffer Laxman's threat. Although Wals ordered Fatis to send troops to follow Bolcha, Wals had guessed that Falvia might also send scouts to spy on her. Wals was not an ignorant person. He knew that he was not an ordinary person who could fight against Maltas of the Kugit Khanate. Knowing yourself and the enemy, you will win every battle. Falvia will definitely spend a certain amount of reconnaissance troops to inquire about his intelligence. Wals originally wanted Fatis to capture those scouts. But he didn't expect that Falvia was more skilled. In addition, Laxman led a cavalry team with more powerful mobile force to follow behind Gozert. This also meant that when an unexpected situation occurred, Laxman could attack and defeat Wals' ambush team in an instant.
"Okay! Then I believe our scout Bolcha will not refuse this proposal."
Fatis looked at Bolcha expressionlessly. Bolcha was at a loss at this time. He was just like Gozert, a scout who had never fought in a few battles. He had fought the enemy on the battlefield only a few times. She was timid, and the followers around her wanted to escape with him. The horses under her feet were also in a panic. They suddenly felt a sense of boredom. This was the instinct of animals. Although the horses could not understand the conversations of humans, this scene with a strong murderous aura affected the horses' minds.
Suddenly, Bolcha seemed to know that this was a battle destined for him. He patted his horse's butt without hesitation, and his horse whistled and walked forward, even though his horse walked timidly, as if he was a coward like his master.
Gozert was not much better. He also patted his horse's butt, walked forward, and the two of them dismounted in the same posture.
"I don't want to hurt my dear horse in the fight with him. I think you feel the same way, don't you?"
Bolcha said to Gozet in front of him, Gozet nodded, gently stroked the neck of her beloved horse, and pushed his body, letting his horse leave the battlefield, and Bolcha did the same.
Bolcha first held his sword across his body, and Gozert swung his sword not to be outdone. Rackman almost laughed out loud. He forced himself to remain calm and watched the two funny guys fighting with swords in front of him.
Unlike Rackman who was watching the show with a funny mentality, Fatis had a different expression. He was a little worried whether Bolcha could win the duel. He was an upright lord. If he lost, he would definitely become Rackman's captive willingly. Rackman seemed to see through Fatis' mentality.
Rackman laughed secretly in his heart, as he saw the uncalm expression on Fatis's face.
Lord Falvia has already understood your thoughts clearly, and he knows me very well too.
“This is a day worth remembering!”
Rackman deliberately said to Fatis in front of him, and the group of recruits behind him seemed to feel humiliated, but what could they do? They could only swallow their anger temporarily.
Bolcha had not really been on the battlefield many times, but everyone around him was a martial arts expert. She imitated what Ailen had done before, and suddenly raised the sword in her hand and swung it forward three times, slashing three times in a row, catching Gozert off guard. However, Gozert also had a group of martial arts experts around him, and he also imitated that group of people and used his sword to resist Bolcha's attack.
"Not enough strength!"
Rackman occasionally made a comment. He commented on Borcha's attack and shook his head as if he thought it was nothing interesting.
After Gozert resisted Bolcha's attack, he suddenly found that Bolcha was exhausted!
How is this possible? Although he is a scout, he is still active on the battlefield. However, he has just swung his sword three times and he is already out of breath!
Suddenly, Gozert felt like looking down on Bolcha. He quickly swung the sword in his hand and stabbed straight forward, just in time to stab the clothes on Bolcha's left arm. Bolcha only tilted his body to the side when the sword came at him, avoiding Gozert's thrilling attack.
At this moment, a fierce light flashed in Bolcha's eyes. He looked very much like Airen on the battlefield. Unfortunately, although he imitated Airen's aura, he failed to imitate Airen's swordsmanship.
Bolcha thrust out his sword suddenly, and the arrow hit Gozert's right arm.
Seeing that Bolcha had won the first battle, his followers and Fatis's group cheered, but only Fatis frowned.
Because he had seen that Rackman's expression did not change at all. Does this mean that Rackman is fearless? Even if Gozert loses the competition, he will go back on his word and annihilate his entire group?
Obviously, the facts are not as Fatis thought. Rackman believes that Gozert will not lose this competition easily. He can clearly feel that Gozert and Bolcha are actually almost the same in strength. Therefore, Rackman asked the two to compete in order to see who can win between the two people with almost the same strength.
At the same time, this was also a test for Gozert. After all, he had not really participated in a battle since he followed Falvia. Rackman was somewhat intolerant of this guy. Although the intelligence he brought back was of great value, a soldier was a soldier after all. How could he be allowed not to go to the battlefield?
However, things did not go as planned. In the distance, where the plain and the desert met, a cloud of dust was flying. The battle-hardened Laxman had noticed that the direction of the dust was the direction from which Fatis was coming. There was no doubt that, as Fatis had said, their camp was near Fatis. If they wanted to send reinforcements, it would be a piece of cake.
As for Rackman, his main force is very far away from him. If he wants to send reinforcements, it will take some time. Falvia did not take this into account, and Rackman himself did not think of it either.
Although the troops he led were all cavalry, he still needed to judge the quality of the enemy's reinforcements. If they were ordinary recruits like Fatis, then Rackman would be fearless. However, if the elite troops under Wals came over, he would not be able to defeat them anyway. Only Falvia's command could save them from defeat.
Gozert and Bolcha, who were fighting, were stunned. They had noticed the dust flying in the distance. The tall white unicorn fluttered in the wind. This flag was very familiar to everyone. Whether it was Fatis or Rackman, their soldiers showed two different expressions.
Fatis's group of recruits were naturally very excited. They felt the murderous aura emanating from the Rackman soldiers on the opposite side and had already been trembling with fear. However, the Rackman soldiers were somewhat hesitant. The arrival of the enemy reinforcements was not good news for them.
Boom boom boom!
Sure enough, what appeared in front of Rackman was not a ragtag army, but the Swadian knights led by Amirida herself.
Spears and war horses!
Rackman didn't want to leave just like that. If he ran away as soon as the enemy appeared, it would really affect his reputation. Therefore, he had to find an explanation before leaving.
For a noble who is good at fighting, reputation is the most precious thing, especially the reputation on the battlefield. He glanced at the group of somewhat arrogant soldiers. These soldiers were usually a group of cavalry led by him personally, and Rackman understood their feelings very well.
"Don't panic! We haven't officially started the war yet. Besides, you are also Falvia's elite troops. How can you lose your composure when you see the enemy?"
拉克曼轻声喝道，这时他的士兵才又重新回到以前的那一副镇定的模样，这一切大半要归功于法尔维娅的名号，他们早已经把法尔维娅视为自己的战神们，这一群萨兰德苏丹国的士兵的心目当中的形象就如同诺德士兵当中的沃尔斯的形象一般。
不一会儿，这一伙骑兵便出现在拉克曼等人的面前。戈泽特和波尔查早已经不打架了，拉克曼默许他回归自己的队伍，而波尔查也到了法提斯的身边。艾米瑞达骑着他的战马走到了法提斯面前，向法提斯行了一礼，法提斯点了点头，即使法提斯的军队素质在差，他也是沃尔斯亲自分封的一位领主，按理说艾米瑞达这样一位骑士，是需要向他敬礼的。
法提斯默许了艾米瑞达的一切，他静静地退到艾米瑞达身后，这时艾米瑞达那一双好看的眼睛盯着对方的大将。
拉克曼早已经听说了沃尔斯手下的那些赫赫有名的大将，眼前的这位想必就是传说中的艾米瑞达。他的名号是美女骑士。
“果真是长的有些特别！”
拉克曼自言自语的说道，他的声音很小，但是他身边的侍卫还是听得清清楚楚的，那几名侍卫和其他的一些士兵在看到了艾米瑞达的容貌之后有些惊愕，明明是一副男儿身却长得女儿相，再因为听到了拉克曼的话之后，实在憋不住哈哈大笑起来。
这一个时候，拉克曼才注意到自己已经失了分寸，则并不合乎贵族的礼仪。他低声喝住着自己身边的侍卫，侍卫们迫不得已蒙住自己的嘴巴，低下头来，但是他们仍然在继续笑着。
艾米瑞达对此早已经见怪不怪了，他的眼睛并没有多看那些侍卫或者拉克曼的士兵一眼。
他的目标只有一个也就是敌方的大将拉克曼。戈泽特感觉到情况不妙，眼前出现了这一个服武装的骑士，作为情报员他也是了解沃尔斯手下的大将，戈泽特这个时候尽管知道他是敌方的大将，可是他也是跟着那些侍卫笑了起来。
艾米瑞达对那些笑容不屑一顾，但是他麾下的那一群斯瓦迪亚骑士却有些不满的，可是碍于艾米瑞达的命令，他们并没有发动进攻，而是在磨拳擦掌，如果艾米瑞达要开战的话，他们不介意给眼前的这一伙人深刻教训。
拉克曼此时觉得自己应该做些什么，结束这场闹剧的。
“我的士兵还欠缺一些教养，希望艾米瑞达先生不要见怪。”
拉克曼直接判定眼前的这一位容貌出众的骑士这是艾米瑞达。
艾米瑞达点了点头，对于这件事他早已经不介意了。
“不知道法尔维娅手下的拉克曼到这里过来要做些什么是？”
艾米瑞达也没有问拉克曼的姓名，直截了当就认出了他是法尔维娅手下的拉克曼。
两方的情报工作都做得极为突出，对方的大将都已经了如指掌。
拉克曼也没有过多惊讶，想艾米瑞达行了一礼，这也算是对敌人的尊重。
“我们是来解救我的侦察兵的，他是被贵方的法提斯领主给抓住了，我们是过来解围，现在人已经安的到达了我们的手中，既然如此我们就先告辞。”
拉克曼编造了一个绝好的理由，然后头也不回的带领着自己的骑兵队伍离开了。戈泽特则回头望了艾米瑞达一眼，他默许了拉克曼的行动。
在一群人走后，波尔查才和法提斯一起满脸疑惑的看着艾米瑞达，对于艾米瑞达的突然出现，在场的人都非常不理解。法提斯下马向前一步，艾米瑞达也下马以示尊敬。
“艾米瑞达先生，为什么？为什么你会出现在这里？陛下除了安排我之外，还安排你来接应吗？”
艾米瑞达听到这句话之后，他哈哈大笑起来。
“这其中的一切部都掌控在陛下的手中，陛下已经算到了法尔维娅的动作了。”
艾米瑞达微笑的说道。
“走吧！我们在回去的路上再给你细细的讲吧。”
数名骑士踏上了归途，另一方面拉克曼和戈泽特也要回去向法尔维娅复命。拉克曼已经感受到沃尔斯并不是一个好对付的人，他的名声并非是浪得虚名，没想到除了安排法提斯这一队人之外，还安排了其他的人。
拉克曼的心情现在非常着急的，他知道法尔维娅的对手已经出现了，既然如此的话自己应该赶紧向法尔维娅报告这一消息。要求法尔维娅认真对待沃尔斯。拉克曼一行人很快就回到了法尔维娅的大营，法尔维娅已经将自己的大营继续向沙瑞兹靠拢，他的大营距离沙瑞兹越来越近。
在沙漠的一个小村庄附近，大量的部队驻扎在这里，使得这个原本荒凉的小村庄变得有些嘈杂，源源不断的补给从后方进行运输，如果说在后方有一些忠诚于哈基姆苏丹的领主率兵去去袭击那些运输队的话，势必会给在前线的大军造成一定的混乱。可是没有一位领主这样做，他们几乎都是在观望，而且拉克曼她也清楚的相信，就算有领主去袭击运势运输队，法尔维娅也会以雷霆之势将那些袭击的领主通通撕成碎片。
再穿过一队队严密的巡逻队伍之后，拉克曼进入到大营的中心，也就是法尔维娅所呆的地点。
一进入大营的营帐，正好就看见了法尔维娅坐在属于他的位置上。她尽管是女儿身，但是却有着男人不曾拥有的威严，左右两边是同样坐立的大将，他们正紧紧的盯着在自己面前桌子上面的一份文件，很明显他们在将自己所要下达的命令写成文书传递给下一级。法尔维娅的面前的桌子上面也叠着厚厚的一堆羊皮纸，这些文件都是来自于各方面的情报与局势。
最近一段时间以内，国各地本来应该忠于哈基姆苏丹的领主都停止了动静，他们似乎都在观望，法尔维娅很庆幸看到这一个现状。“元帅大人！”
拉克曼一踏入大营里面，就径直走到法尔维娅的面前对他行了一礼并且说道。
“我按照你的吩咐跟在了戈泽特的身后，原本按照计划，我们本可以万无一失的话可是不知为何，沃尔斯安排了一支部队跟随在他的侦察兵后面，本来率领着一支队伍的是沃尔斯分封的领主法提斯，他带领的部队都是一群杂牌军，以我的骑兵队伍是可以轻易的搅毁他们的，可是很不幸……”
拉克曼欲言又止，他实在不想承认自己的失败，失败和无能这个词是联系在一起的。
法尔维娅将自己威武的面孔伸到前面去，一字一句的对着阿克曼说道。
“然后呢？”
拉克曼知道自己无论如何也要说出自己的失败的。
“之后，沃尔斯手下的大将艾米瑞达率领着一队斯瓦迪亚骑士出现在我的面前，他们实力实在太强了，单打独斗这群斯瓦迪亚骑士或许还能和我打个平手，但是他们还有法提斯所带领的那一支杂牌军。有他们当作挡箭牌，斯瓦迪亚骑士能够在一个回合之内将我的部队部铲平，所以……”
“所以你就灰溜溜的跑回来了？有发生战斗吗？”
法尔维娅冰冷的说道，拉克曼赶紧把头低下去，她似乎已经感觉到法尔维娅快要发怒的表情的，虽然她把头低了下来，完看不见法尔维娅的脸，但是他的脑海当中依旧清晰的出现的法尔维娅极度愤怒的表情。自己无功而返，必定遭受惩罚。
“不！我没有和艾瑞达战斗，因为我觉得这是无意义的战斗，只会让我军徒增伤亡罢了！”
拉克曼单膝下跪，他想以此来平息法尔维娅的愤怒。左右两方的大将都有些惊愕的放下自己手中的文件，望着单膝下跪的拉克曼。
“我失败了！请求你的惩罚。”
拉克曼闭上眼睛，仿佛要等着那责罚降临到自己的身上一般。可是过了良久，法尔维娅也没有说话，她疑惑的抬起头睁开双眼看见了法尔维亚陷入了一副沉思的表情。
“元帅！”
拉克曼似乎不愿意打断法尔维娅的沉思，但是他就这样跪着也不是一个办法。因此她轻声喊出了元帅这个称呼。
这个时候，法尔维娅才回过神来，此时他仍然是一脸凝重，但脸上已经寻不出愤怒的表情，其实法尔维娅愤怒的表情只是拉克曼自己想象的罢了，法尔维娅并没有生气。
“我知道了！你下去吧。”
拉克曼没想到等来的是这样一个回答，她有些不知所措，但他还是低下头接着说道：“元帅！这个沃尔斯不可小瞧，还请元帅能够小心提防他。”
“我知道了！你先下去吧，我自有分寸。”
她那一双美丽好看的眼睛在说完这一句话之后就再也没有看一下拉克曼，拉克曼咕噜的吞了一口唾液，紧接着便转过身去朝着大营外面离开。
At this moment, he suddenly realized that from the beginning, Falvia had never underestimated Wals, and he had always regarded Wals as his number one enemy. It was really unnecessary for him to advise Falvia to be careful of Wals again.
After watching Rackman leave, the generals in the tent continued with their own work. They knew Falvia's character well, so they didn't say much.
At this time, Falvia was thinking about how to defeat Wals. Suddenly, he felt that he had met an opponent stronger than Maltas.
