Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

In a few days.

Looking at the stone castle standing at the junction of the forest and Sharas Bay, the people of Richard who drilled out of the forest were finally relaxed, and the castle’s gates and walls were hung depicting the lord’s house. The patterned flag shows that the city is still under the rule of the Kingdom of Valandia.

“Damn it, as long as we enter the castle, we will be safe.”

Altamund mumbled, his experience of driving in the forest in the past few days made him very unhappy. It feels good. There are several pieces of yellowing and dying leaves on his fluffy brown hair. The armor is also muddy and bloody because it has not been cleaned and wiped. It looks very embarrassed. He stands with the square flag Knight beside him. It is not even clear who is the nobleman.

Richard is also uncomfortable. He only feels that his body is sticky and has a sour smell. Thanks to the absence of mosquitoes this season, otherwise their group will be worse than they are now.

“Speed ​​up and enter the city!” He turned his head and shouted to the soldiers behind him, and then took the lead and ran towards the gate of Fort Sangker on a horse with Altamund.

In addition to the direction of the city gate of Fort Sangker, the other three sides either face Shalas Bay or are blocked by marsh puddles, and a not shallow moat was dug outside the city gate to allow outsiders except from There is no other way to pass the wooden bridge. The walls of the castle are tall and strong, roughly estimated to be nearly ten meters in height. The surface of the wall tiles is covered by many cyan-green moss vines. Behind the neat wall stacks can see fully armed soldiers patrolling back and forth.

The soldiers patrolling the city wall quickly spotted the team that had drilled out of the forest. The sharp-eyed people saw the somewhat dilapidated Valandia flag they were holding, and quickly moved towards the castle. The comrades inside shouted loudly and reported to the lord who lived in Naiburg.

Not long after, when Richard and the others walked to the wooden bridge outside the city gate, the local lord Perilian also put on a bearskin coat, followed by his attendants and hurried up the city wall and stood. Look out behind the wall stacks.

Without waiting for them to ask questions, Altamund first shouted: “I am Altamond of the Dai Cortan family, let us go into the city soon!”

Because he didn’t carry the certificate of nobility, he could only hope that Bolilian would recognize himself.

“Altamund?” Perilian, who was cautious by nature, looked suspiciously at Altamund and the army behind him. It was not that he had never seen Altamond, but the opponent was now His embarrassed appearance made him suddenly unresponsive.

“What have you experienced?” He asked again.

“Legion suffered a terrible defeat outside Cerektor Castle, and only a few people escaped.” Altamund explained to him patiently, he did not forget Richard, and pointed to the latter. , Introduced for Burrillen: “He is Richard, who recently swore allegiance to King Your Majesty, and I joined him on the way to retreat.”

When I heard the news of Legion’s fiasco, Burrillen’s face turned sharply. In a big change, he saw that most of the soldiers behind Altamond were downcast and morale was low, and he understood that there was nothing false about what he said, so he ordered the soldiers to open the city gates to welcome the friendly forces into the city.

Entering the castle, Richard discovered that the castle occupies a large area. The first thing he saw after passing through the gate was the 2nd wall with the lord’s flag hung inside the two walls. There are stables, warehouses, and wood sheds. Behind the second wall are the soldiers’ barracks and the residences of the inhabitants of the castle, that is, the living area. After the 3rd wall is the inner fort where the lord lives, except for the Castle Lord building, which is heavily guarded. The dungeon.

While Richard was observing the interior of the castle, Burrillan walked down with a few attendants. He greeted Altamond, and then said: “You go and clean up first. Then come and explain to me clearly what happened in Serektorburg.”

“Yeah.” Altamund nodded, greeted Richard to follow along, after Richard walked by Burrillan. The reader smiled friendly at him, and walked towards the inner castle together.

About half an hour later, the castle hall.

Richard and Altamond, who had cleaned up their personal hygiene, put on the clothes prepared for them by the butler, and walked into the hall under the guidance of the servant. Perilian was already sitting on the main seat and waiting. They had been for a long time, and after he seated the two of them, he couldn’t wait to inquire about the fighting that took place outside Fort Reichtor.

Richard came all the way without questioning, so he was also very curious about the battle at Serektorburg, so he pricked his ears and listened earnestly.

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Altamund laughed bitterly, recalling the scene at the time, and whispering…

“Legion besieged Serektor On the 2nd day of the Fort, our scouts had already discovered the imperial scouts and fought with them. Our scouts were not at all an enemy’s opponent. They were repelled after several battles, but they still detected the approximate size of the enemy’s main force—— The damn empires assembled most of their domestic army, and the Green Brother Lin also joined their Legion. Their strength is twice ours. King Your Majesty immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army after learning this information. This is also okay. Explain that if we wait for the Empire’s Legion to come over, we will be surrounded.”

“However, we still underestimated the imperial’s marching speed. When Legion just started to evacuate, the empire The human purple eagle flag appeared on the distant horizon. We could not continue to retreat, so we had to line up to meet the enemy. At the same time, in order to defend against the defenders in Serektor Castle, we also separated some troops and deployed them in the rear. , The facts have proved that this is a correct approach.”

“The battle began soon, and the imperial archer and the green Brother Lin would vent arrows to our position with the gang of gangsters. The soldiers could only Raising the shield for defense, our crossbowmen were far fewer than the enemy, and the counterattack was quickly suppressed.” At this point, Altamund’s eyes were full of anger, and his mind had recalled the scene at that time. ——A round of arrows rained down like a downpour on the shield wall composed of Vallandia soldiers. The surface of each shield was filled with arrows, and from time to time someone was shot by arrows passing through the gap between the shields. Turn over, wailing in pain. The Valandia crossbowmen who tried to fight back only had time to shoot one round, and they were spotted by the enemy shooters, relying on the faster rate of fire and the superior number of people to suppress them, and they were shot out of nowhere.

The Empire cannot be said to be a good shooter, but if all the members of Archer’s Green Brother Lin will help, they will be compensated for in the long-range part, and have experienced the continuous shooting of the Varandi runners. It looked like a hedgehog from the outside, which was terrible.

The development of the next battle is not at all eye-catching. The infantry of both sides began to fight in close combat. The defenders of Serektor Castle went out of the city and joined the friendly forces to attack the Valandia army, while the imperial cavalry remained on hold. At the same time the friendly archer restrained the Vallandia cavalry, led by the son of Emperor Gallius Theferos launched an unstoppable violent charge on the flank of Vallandia Legion, and the catastrophic defeat came on the flank. And quickly swept the whole army…
