575 A Woman from a Different Continent (6)
575 Women from Another Continent (6)
"Have you ever seen this?"
The fat man waved his hand proudly, took out a short cavalry crossbow from the crotch of his war horse, and made the crimson Rui who was holding his arm next to him brighten his eyes, the crossbow body was smooth and round with human hand frosting and polishing, and the shadow of the person could be faintly illuminated, and the side of the war horse weapon groove was equipped with a leather quiver, and there were ten short crossbow arrows with white feathers inserted on each side, and the Mitsubishi arrow was made of fine iron, which was cold and cold in the sun, bringing people a cold and piercing feeling,
"This is the latest cavalry assault crossbow of the Vekia cavalry."
Crimson Rui's eyes stared straight at the short crossbow in the fat man's hand, he took a deep breath of cold air in his mouth, his face was crimson, it was completely excited, a pair of eyes were shining, she was an expert in weapons, and she could see at a glance the ingenuity of this cavalry assault crossbow, the short crossbow body reduced the weight, which was more suitable for the cavalry to control the horse with one hand, and the other hand could calmly shoot the target on the horse,
The military cavalry crossbow of the Samore Guards is a symbol of the powerful strength and glorious status of the Vikia army, and with the strong rise of Vekia in the southwest of the continent, the reputation of the Vekia Guards cavalry is becoming more and more rumored.
It is said that these fierce light cavalry, even against the elite knights of Shangruierdian, are the sharp claws of falcons that tear apart their prey, as long as they appear, it is the moment when the whole battle situation is reversed.
They are the witnesses and implementers of the rise of the Falcon Legend, the sharpest claws of the Southwest Falcon, the sharp knives in their hands can easily split the heavy armor of the knights, and the short and powerful assault crossbows in their hands can make them always be at the commanding heights of mobility when facing the opposing cavalry.
They are listed as one of the top armies in the Ikadiva continent along with the cavalry spear spurts of the knights of Ryrdian, the shield wall of the senior warriors of the southern Nord, and the whirlwind wheel of the Kugit royal court cavalry in the north of the continent.
As the legendary weapon of the Wikiasian cavalry, the cavalry assault crossbow is a treasure that many mainland generals are extremely eager to see.
The era of the Kugit people who were powerful with cavalry and archery has been broken by this new weapon, and even the always fierce Kugit rangers are absolutely unwilling to encounter a group of Wikirian cavalry equipped with cavalry assault crossbows in the wilderness.
The shooting accuracy of the cavalry crossbow is more stable than the Kujit bows and arrows, and the range is not inferior to the ordinary cavalry compound bow, if the two sides find each other at the same time, the assault crossbow of the Vekia cavalry can shoot the enemy on the opposite side to the ground in the first shot, even if it cannot compete head-on, it can also take the method of fighting and retreating, constantly weakening the opponent's strength
It is said that there are more than 5,000 such cavalry crossbows in Vekia, but only the most trusted warriors of Vekia's falcons are qualified to have them, and it is completely unexpected that they can be seen here
"Can I touch it?" Crimson boldly stretched out her hand, her eyes full of longing
"Of course, if this is not an assault crossbow for cavalry, why not give it to you" The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, and handed the cavalry crossbow in his hand to Crimson Rui without care,
"Oh. (.) It turns out that you are also a stingy person" Crimson Rui took the assault crossbow and pretended to be angry, her small and playful nose was slightly upturned, and she looked more and more wild
"Hehe, don't lie to me, I know you're not a good horseback rider" The fat man replied with a smile on the corner of his mouth "Your legs are very straight and beautiful, if you are a long-term horseman, your legs will more or less have an inward curve, and you don't, which means that you are not a female knight, then there is only one possibility, you should be a warrior, this cavalry assault crossbow is not suitable for you and my collection, and a heavy infantry crossbow, that is the most suitable thing for you"
"I hope you don't lie to me" Crimson Rui turned her head, her delicate fingers slid along the tip of the assault crossbow, the tight and straight black bowstring slid gently, her eyes flashed with longing, that kind of pious touch, like worshipping the idol in her heart,
"Squeak"
The tight bowstring was slowly pulled apart by Crimson Rui with two fingers, and the black tendons that were tightly wrenched together shone with a dark black luster, and finally became a half-moon shape, creaking at the tip of the crossbow.
The fingers were released, and the bowstring turned into a barely visible phantom, emitting a trembling phantom, like a sharp blade, cutting through the air in front of him, making a tearing sound
"It's so strong"
Crimson Rui's face changed slightly, and she secretly praised in her heart, with her divine power, when she pulled the bowstring just now, she also felt a struggle, but if you put a specially made light and sharp arrow cluster on it, once it is shot, I am afraid that even the thick knight heavy armor will be difficult to resist, and its killing blow at close range is equipped in the hands of the elite light cavalry who are as fast as the wind and can advance and retreat, which can be said to be extremely suitable for light cavalry for assault operations, and directly doubled the combat power of light cavalry,
"With such a powerful weapon to help, it's no wonder that the Vecchian Guards are able to shock the North"
Crimson Rui said slowly, suddenly turned his head, and stared at the fat man curiously for a while before hesitating, "Military cavalry crossbows are rarely equipped weapons in the Vikia army, not only cumbersome to manufacture, but also extremely strict control, only a few close guards of the Vekia Falcon are qualified to have this kind of weapon, how did you get this one?"
"The Vecchia Falcon gave it to me as a gift," the fat man replied with a serious face
"Lord Lord"
At this moment, a cavalry guard in the castle came, and before he could stop his horse, he hurriedly turned over, hurriedly ran over, and knelt down in front of the fat man, and said, "Your Excellency Commander Gehardo has arrived outside the city, and Tutor Palschena has asked her and Miss Nilai to meet her at the gate of the city."
"Jehardo is here?" the fat man's face turned cold, his eyes fixed into a line, and he asked again, "Who else is there besides him?" I remember that he came to the north this time with a son, is he also in it?"
"No, there is no one else except the thirty Mamunuk knights who served as escorts"
The guard replied on his knees, an answer that made the fat man's face darker and darker, and he could feel that his opponent was a little different from before
On the periphery of Vic Fort, which is built by the mountain, is a row of magnificent arrow forts built by the fat man according to the mountain, built by the mountain, and the high thick walls that stand along the mountain make a wide man-made barrier, which completely isolates the entrance from the south to the open land.
If you try to force your attack, this open field will become a place of death, and the two sides of the Arrow Castle are steep and treacherous boulder cliffs.
The fat man asked Mao Mona Qing to accompany Crimson Rui back to the main castle in the city, and then joined Nilai who had rushed to the city gate, where the Sky Mentor Parschena was already waiting, and the fat man hurriedly dismounted and saluted, and then saw a team of fully clothed Mamunouk knights galloping down the opposite hillside, rolling up a puff of choking smoke
On the fluttering flag, there is a golden shield embroidered, and a white eagle vulture is embroidered inside the shield, which is the banner of the northern commander-in-chief Jehardo, and the leader is a middle-aged general with a national character face, wearing gorgeous golden armor, and the war horse under the crotch is draped with a vest with a red background, which looks majestic,
He was followed by more than a dozen Mamunouk knights, with cyan shield emblems embroidered on their shoulders,
"It's the Green Shield Corps," the fat man heard a solemn whisper from Nilai next to him
"What is the Green Shield Corps?" the fat man asked, turning his head curiously
Nylai's face changed as she stared at the markers, and she whispered in the fat man's ear, "There are seven such legions, each of which is assigned a color of the rainbow as the exclusive color of all the signs and banners. 7 corps, the most famous red, orange, yellow, and green, and the other three corps are blue, blue, and purple according to the color order."
Seeing the disapproving look on the fat man's face, Nilai's voice paused, and he said in an accentuated tone
"These Mamunuk knight regiments belonging to His Majesty of the Kingdom are not comparable to those ordinary Mamunuk knights, they are all regular troops, not only have loyalty to His Majesty in the past, but also have extremely good martial arts and are also very strict in military discipline, unlike those miscellaneous armies, who will panic when they encounter difficulties"
"Marquis of Victoronse, this may be your last chance"
At this time, the Sky Mentor Parschena, who was standing in front, also turned her head and said softly, " You have also seen that the most elite legions sent by the kingdom this time, who will be able to provide the safest help to the north, are here with sincere hearts, and are willing to sacrifice their qiē for the sake of our country, even including their young and noble lives, so I hope that you will cut off all ties with the Vicchians, freeze all their possessions in Vik City, and truly submit to the authority of His Majesty, I am sure that these noble Mamunuk knights will definitely forgive you"
The fat man quietly listened to the Sky Mentor Parschena finish before he said softly, "Mentor, I think the affairs of these knights should not be within the scope of the discussion between you and me at the Winter Veil Festival. ”
Sky Mentor Parschena shook her head a little disappointed, as if she had expected such a result, and said in a stiff tone
"I'm not blind, and although I don't know how powerful you are in the north, I don't think you can compete with Kyoto, people always make mistakes, and in the past, because of our carelessness, we have done some wrong things, and we hope that we can correct them if we have the opportunity. I believe that the wise Majesty will forgive you for being confused for a moment",
The fat man sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said in a slightly deep voice, "Some mistakes are irreparable, besides, it's too late now." ”
After a pause, without waiting for the Sky Mentor Parschena to speak, the fat man continued
"If Kyoto can protect us, how could my Vic family be killed by the Normans who attacked in the last war, and where was Kyoto at that time? If Kyoto can be trusted, why do all Kyoto people show disdain when they mention us in the north. And why did a person like you think in the first place that we were sorry for Kyoto? Is it simply because Kyoto has sent away the northern lords one by one like beggars countless times?"
"Shut up"
Sky Mentor Parschena's face was pale, a pair of pretty eyes stared at the fat man, and then it dimmed again, of course she knew that the fat man would not give in so easily, so she gently raised her beautiful eyebrows, and said slowly, "No matter what happened before, now, only Kyoto can save the north, unless you really want to be bloodily suppressed, it will be terrible"
"If the dignity of the north and my humble life are put on the same scale, I choose the dignity of the north," the fat man said slowly and casually, "Dear Mentor, tell me the truth, if it weren't for the fact that we stimulated the face of the nobles of Kyoto, would you have come to the north to preside over the Winter Veil Festival?" ......
Sky Mentor Parschena's milky white sweet potato seed face flushed slightly, which was a subtle expression of anger and helplessness in her heart. This faint blush adds even more to her beauty and coquettishness,
Her rosy lips opened, but she didn't make a sound in the end, yes, she knew that the fat man was right, if it weren't for the fact that the north was getting stronger and stronger, and even Kyoto felt threatened, it would be impossible for her, the highest level of sky worship, to come to this wild region in the north to preside over the Winter Veil Festival
The fat man shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said lightly, "Only if you are strong, you are truly strong, which is what the north has exchanged for hundreds of years of humiliation"
Sky Mentor Parschena saw her most beloved disciple leaning proudly against the fat man, knowing that it was useless to say anything, she could only sigh
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves became heavier and heavier, and the cavalry on the hillside galloped in an instant, lined up in front of the gate.
At the front was a middle-aged knight of about fifty, short and sturdy, with a dignified appearance, and the Mamunouk knights behind him were all arrogant, and there was no hint of friendliness at all
The middle-aged general's chest was full of badges, so that people knew that his identity must be extraordinary, and his burning eyes first carefully looked at the fat man for a while, and then moved to the sky to sacrifice Parschenna's face, put his right hand on his chest, and first saluted the sky priest Parschena, and then said loudly, "Respected sky sacrifice, Jehardo salutes you"
After the salute, the northern consul raised his head arrogantly and looked at the fat man carefully, without the slightest meaning of greeting.
"Hehe, what a big shelf" The fat man's face became very ugly, the smell of gunpowder on the northern commander's body was too much, and he deliberately only saluted Palschena, but omitted himself and Nilai of the same status, the arrogance here was too obvious
Parschena felt the hot atmosphere between several people, and hurriedly introduced, "Lord Jeha, this is the Marquis of Victonse, who killed the goshawk Avize, and the Duchess Nia next to him, you should have seen it." ”
"Duchess Nilai?" the corners of Jehardo's mouth showed a hint of disdain, and he smiled, "This is the daughter of the Grand Duke of Lazar, the little girl with a runny nose next to Lazar at the beginning, now she has grown so standard, and the years have not left anyone behind."
Parschena's face changed, she didn't expect that the two sides would be such a hot scene as soon as they met, one was a representative of the kingdom's forces, and the other was her most beloved disciple, she originally wanted to gradually change her disciple's attitude if she adopted a policy of softness, but the northern commander clearly said that she did not regard Niya as a northern force with the same status as him.
At this moment, to the left of Jhardo, a young man with long blond hair, Mamu Balbow, withdrew his eyes from Nia and looked at Parschena, who had a dissatisfied face
"I don't know the respected sky sacrifice yet, Salander is now in an extraordinary period, in order to encourage the morale of the warriors to the greatest extent, so Kyoto is preparing to abolish the old inheritance system in the past, and change it to the reward of war merits, whoever has the most military merits can inherit the vacancy of the lord, so this Miss Niya, whether she is a duke or not, it is up to Kyoto to decide. ”,
"Why don't I know, when I left Kyoto, my majesty promised in person, and the affairs of the north were dominated by me" Parschena's face turned pale, and her voice said angrily,
Parschena asked, and Gehardo had to stand up and answer in person
"This is a new decision that Kyoto has only recently made, and I am about to inform the priests. Moreover, His Majesty the King also ordered that the former useless southerners should take back their status as knights of Mamunuk, because they could not even hold the territory, and His Majesty the King despised them the most, and they would do heavy labor as servitude in Kyoto to atone for their sins."
"What"
Parschena's body trembled slightly, her family was a southern nobleman, thinking of her old father and many young clansmen, just like the captured baby soldiers she saw in Hutu Beien, she had to take up arms to fight, crystal clear tears rolled down from the corners of her beautiful eyes,
The air was oppressive and terrible, only the long wind that blew through the arrow tower, blew and blew...... ,
Beside her, the silver-haired Yesug, who had not yet recovered, suddenly fell to his knees with a dead face, and snorted, and a thick mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and he fell to the ground
"toutoutou"
The subordinates next to him suddenly made a mess, hurriedly lifted Yesug, patted his chest and back, and worked for a while before he saw Yesug slowly open his eyes, and there was no longer the same vigor in them, and the despair crawled all over his pupils
"A knight of Mamunuk, who was defeated in a duel, didn't let you commit suicide, it's already a good grace" The corner of Jehardo's mouth sneered, "Marquis of Victonse, do you know what the king's decree is, from this moment on, this city of Vic and the Lazar Territory of Nilai will be directly under the direct administration of the king"
Jehardo suddenly took out a golden scroll from his waist and shouted to the Mamunouk knight who had been arranged behind him, "Come on, arrest these traitors immediately, and kill those who dare to disobey."
"Don't"
Parschena stretched out her hands to stop her, but was pushed away by a Mamunuk's knight very roughly,
Her face was as pale as a piece of paper, she felt that she had been completely sold, and now she was like a clown, sandwiched between Kyoto and the north, knowing that if the inheritance patriarchal law was changed in this way, there would be a big change in the power structure of the north and the south, and imagine what would happen if a northerner was sent to govern the southern city of Vic.
Niya's face was also cold at the moment, and she didn't say a word, and Jehardo's words shattered the last bit of peace illusion in her heart.
More to that address.
