Chapter 860: Garon Defeated
The Olabe Hills, located in the middle of Alida Island, have a vast grassland, and the troops led by Xu Kai are preparing to cross here to attack Yaradhu from the southwest. Although some soldiers were hired with the funds given by Weiss, they were still almost young people of Xu Kai's age, and they might not be much higher than Xu Kai in terms of combat experience. For some reason, Vala also wants to follow Xu Kai, so she has to take her with her. After making some preparations, they set off for Yaradus according to the battle plan.
Xu Kai and his entourage walked quietly on the hills, and the sound of the wind blowing through the grass came to their ears. Suddenly, a low whistle sounded, "Be careful! Stay on guard! A seasoned warrior, Vala sensed the change in the atmosphere around her and issued a warning. In front, more than a dozen heavily armed warriors appeared, and it could be seen from their eyes that they were full of hostility towards Xu Kai and his party. Xu Kai had to smile bitterly, indeed as Weiss said, someone came to hold a welcome banquet for him.
At the head was a woman with a longbow in her hand, and she said in a hateful tone, "Welcome, knights of Grace, my name is Fenyi. Fifteen years ago, thanks to you, my hometown was burned down, my parents were killed, and I lost everything. Perhaps, now is the time to pay the bloody debt. ”
"But that's in the past......" Xu Kai didn't know what to say, and Fen Yi had lost her mind because of the belief in revenge: "For the invaders, those are in the past, but for me, this pain will always exist!" Your teachings of Grace claim to be sacred, and you can discern all human suffering. It can relieve all the suffering in the world. As a result, it is now just a pretext for your domination and aggression! Battle formation, attack! ”
A reluctant battle began. The soldiers on both sides lined up, the archers fired sharp arrows to cover the infantry's advance, the swords struck each other and sparked, the blades sliced through the armor and tore the flesh and blood, and the calm grassland suddenly turned into a battlefield of killing.
Vala's magical swordsmanship played a big role in the battle, and her knightly sword was nimble and powerful, and she could also use her magic to heal wounded soldiers. Gradual. The scales of victory began to tilt.
Fenyi's soldiers decreased one after another, while Xu Kai's side became more and more courageous, and her command gradually failed. Morale began to drop, and the annoyed Fen Yi vented her anger at Xu Kai with the bow and arrow in her hand. conAd1(); Although Xu Kai was hit by two arrows, they were blocked by the thick armor and did not make flesh. Vala took the opportunity to sneak up behind Fenyi and stabbed her in the body with a sword. Fenyi was knocked out. Blood spat out of his mouth. The remnants of the soldiers around her saw the scene. They no longer had the intention of fighting and fled. “…… I'm sorry, father, mother......" Spat out the last words with blood foam, and Fenyi closed her eyes.
At night, Xu Kaijun camped in the Olabe hills. After the fierce fighting of the day, all the soldiers were exhausted and now all had fallen asleep. There were not many wounded, and there were no dead among them, and it seemed that this time the battle had turned out much better than the battle on that stormy night. Xu Kai sat alone in front of the fire. Think back to what happened today. It seems that things are not as simple as originally thought, what is happening on this island. There are more insiders involved in the depths, and he doesn't know what else to face in front of him, and Xu Kai feels uneasy about this. Thinking about Fen Yi again, what made her have such a great hatred for the Grace people, could it be that the indoctrination policy of the Grace Sect was really so unpopular on Levitra Island.
"Why, haven't you slept yet?" Vala came out of the tent and saw Xu Kai in a daze by the fire.
"Vala, I've learned a few things lately. It is said that the Moss family in the north played a big role in the development of the island in the first place, is that true? Xu Kai vaguely felt that Vala was still hiding something, so he said straight to the point.
"Yes. The Moss family now holds control of the north, and like the rest of the Duno, the ancestors of the Moss family left the mainland more than 400 years ago to come to the island as their second home, and carved out what is now Levitra Island. The current Knights of the Island were formerly known as the Self-Police Regiment established to protect the land that had been carved out. ”
"Then why did you leave the Black Wolf Knights?"
"For the sake of ...... In order to investigate the truth of my father's death, if there is really any conspiracy inside, I will definitely avenge my dead father. Minenda, my full name is actually Valamos, daughter of the former lord of Duno. ”
"Moss? It turns out that you are ......" Xu Kai felt very surprised when he heard Vala's words.
"Fifteen years ago, my father died, and his younger brother, my uncle Fan Di, succeeded him as lord according to his father's last words. conAd2(); ”
"Fifteen years ago, it was when the Grace Sect implemented the policy of indoctrination, and at that time, the entire island of Levitra was already under the jurisdiction of the Church and the Principality of Besca."
"At first, the southern part of Levitra Island did not want to be part of Grace, so it was ruthlessly destroyed, and the Knights of Thunder, who were sent to the island, began to suppress the opponents, many cities were burned down, and many people were killed. Seeing this, my father signed a peace treaty with Grace and agreed to be part of the Church. That same year, my father died of illness, and my mother died with him. But a few years later, I heard a rumor that my father was not sick and died, but by my uncle. ”
"It's the head of the Black Wolf Knights, Van Dimoth."
"Yes. He was very opposed to signing a peace treaty at the time, because he was so confident in his own strength that he was not willing to let Dunor become a vassal of Grace. Maybe he was jealous and resentful of his father, who was the head of the clan and lord of Duno, or maybe it was really him...... Xu Kai, I want to go with you, I want to investigate the truth about the cause of my father's death, I don't know if you are willing to help me. ”
"Walla...... I need your help too, let's work together. ”
"Thank you, Kai Xu. In order to avoid my uncle, I left the Order to live in seclusion away from him and learn swordsmanship. Perhaps, it can help you in future battles. ”
"Your knowledge of the situation on the island is very useful. It's too late, rest well, it's time to attack Yaradus, and we'll find out the truth of all the events. ”
Yaladhu Fort, located in the eastern part of Levitra Island, is an easily defended fortress. The Black Wolf Knights have taken over the area, turning the castle into a stronghold of the Knights. Xu Kai's army rushed to Yaladu Fort and, according to the battle plan, prepared to launch a surprise attack from the west.
High on the city wall, stood a tall and strong man, a high-ranking knight of the Black Wolf Knights, Garon.
"Grianor, the Graces could attack here, be on guard. conAd3(); Garon said to his knight captain.
"Is it the Beskar Knights hired by the Lobarians, these hateful fellows!" Griano said angrily.
"It is said that they were attacked by pirates and suffered great losses, and now they are just a remnant. Griano, you are now in charge of guarding the fort of Yaradhu, and you are in command of the garrison. Remember, don't let the Graces get in the way. ”
"Yes! Garon-sama! Where are you going now, though? Griano asked cautiously.
"There are some things that I want to leave...... Griano, I heard that the leader of the enemy army is only a fifteen-year-old child, but you can't underestimate the enemy, you have to take it seriously. ”
As soon as Garon finished speaking, Xu Kaijun suddenly appeared under the city wall.
"You are the Black Wolf Knights of Duno, I now ask you to withdraw from Yaladu immediately and return to your hometown."
"It's the Grace!" The soldiers of the Black Wolf Knight Order on the city wall began to commotion after seeing Xu Kaijun: "Prepare for battle!" ”
"Why, it came a little earlier than expected. Griano, I'll leave it to you, keep it for me. Garon turned to leave.
"Do you want to escape, knight of the Black Wolf Order? Either retreat, or fight to the death. Xu Kai saw that Garon was about to leave, and couldn't help shouting loudly.
"Boy, you're not my match yet. Remember the name Gallon, the strongest knight of the Black Wolf Knights. There will be a period later! Garon walked into the fortress, and more soldiers emerged from inside.
This time it was a battle against the regular troops of the Black Wolf Knights, and unlike the mercenaries, guerrillas, or small groups of knights he had encountered before, Xu Kai couldn't help but feel nervous. But after several bloody battles, Xu Kai's combat experience has become richer and richer, and he has become more confident in himself. With his order, the siege began.
It was undoubtedly a difficult battle, with enemy archers firing arrows at Xu Kai's army from the high walls, mages chanting words and fingers radiating deadly fireballs and lightning, monks weaving across the battlefield to heal wounded soldiers with divine magic, and heavily armored knights wielding swords in hand-to-hand combat.
Xu Kaijun was caught in a bitter battle, and due to the unfavorable terrain, the dead and wounded continued to appear. "Assault! Assault! Xu Kai commanded his troops, fighting desperately with a long sword in hand. Before you knew it, it was getting dark and it was starting to rain heavily. Eventually, Xu Kai and Vala broke through the enemy's defenses and climbed the city walls, quickly taking out the enemy's mages and archers. The threat of a long-range attack was gone, and the soldiers of the Knights of the Thunder roared and pounced on the remnants of the Black Wolf Knights. (To be continued......)
