Any tension generated during training cannot compare to the fear of a real life-or-death struggle.
Oran spent all his money to form the Knights Hospitaller, which collided back and forth on the road outside the village castle. It was very effective against the shield formation formed by women and teenagers. Some teenagers even turned around and ran away in fear when they saw the momentum of the horse conflict. .
Forgetting his glory, he was struck by the knights from behind with a spear, piercing his chest.
But the other group of adult Viking warriors are experienced and have strong cohesion.
Glock raised his arms and shouted, and Abramovich fought alongside him.
The two men gathered up their formation amid the chaos.
Those who were injured but still capable of fighting hid in the queue, while the Viking warriors outside raised their shield walls.
Facing Nan Ding, who was charging fiercely again, he defended with all his strength.
The White Eagle soldiers have recently won consecutive battles and their morale is high, but some of those chosen as riders are still inexperienced.
Training an infantryman can take him to the battlefield in a few weeks. Training an elite infantryman can take several times longer.
But training a rider, including horses, equipment, riding skills, etc., takes more than five times longer than elite infantry.
Just for making sudden stops and turns during combat and maintaining smooth speed changes, how long will it take for those with poor sense of balance to practice?
Even Olan himself, his riding skills are only good when he is running safely on weekdays, but in a combat situation, especially when being harassed by riding horses in groups, he is not good at it.
In the past, when there were no stirrups, if a soldier was sent to practice, he might pee blood after riding for a day or two, so it was difficult to achieve quick results.
Some riders do not master the horse's mobility and impact distance well, and they think they have a sure victory and underestimate the enemy.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
The five riders forgot their instructions and charged directly through the Viking shield wall.
The power that had been exerted on the woman and the boy just now did not appear this time.
This time the charge hit the shield wall, which was both powerful and heavy. The five horses were crippled by gravity and died miserably.
The rider immediately flew out backwards.
The Vikings at the front were dizzy from being pushed, and some even vomited blood.
But another group of warriors behind him quickly moved forward to take up positions, slashing hard. Some even stabbed their swords into the rider's chest, turned around to widen the wound, and then pulled hard to pull out all the organs.
"Don't be afraid, we are wolves. A hundred sheep cannot defeat one noble wolf."
"Before we go to the Hall of Valor, let us fight until the last moment."
"I saw Valkyrie!"
After killing the knight, cheers erupted in the Viking shield wall.
"Fuck you!"
Kunsang held a heavy sword and chopped down a shield girl who attacked him. He not only cut off her head, but also kicked it out as a ball.
At the end of the fight, the battlefield was strangled together. A small number of riders cooperated with the infantry to pursue the escapees. They had completed this combat mission.
The experience of the riders who did not die has greatly increased. The improvement brought by this life and death charge will make future training more effective.
The final harvest battle was fought by infantry.
Haman's troops who entered the village fort were almost completely wiped out.
The one who killed the most enemies was Marcus's personal troops. He bravely took the lead and cleared the way forward.
Seen from the sky above Oran, Marcus is like a flying crossbow. After being thrown out with force, he will not fall to the ground until he beheads the enemy.
Outside the field, under Jin Ya, the horse-tailed Gomon who was pushed out as a yes man has given up resistance.
But Abu and Glock desperately broke through and forced a breach toward the north.
Nanding and Kunsang rushed to the front, chasing each other without giving way.
Oran quickly walked down the guard tower, leaving the three of them behind.
Sals glanced at Sally, and then followed, leaving Titan and Sally alone.
At Taitan's young age, he felt a sense of reluctance in his heart when he saw that a beautiful aristocratic woman was about to lose her life.
"Miss Sally, maybe there will be a turn for the better." Tai Tan said with courage.
But Sally looked at him contemptuously, "A turning point? Do you dare to let me go?"
Titan was stunned, and Sally looked resentful, "If I were a man, if I had soldiers in my hands, I would kill your master and nail him to a cross. Even if the remaining bones are corrupted, I will never take them off!"
After speaking, Sally turned to look at the battlefield and said, "Almighty and omnipotent God, have you heard my plea?
I am 'Sally Sacks', I am your servant, let me fulfill this wish, do you hear me!"
The woman cursed viciously, and the Titan was so frightened that he almost lost his balance and held on to the handle of the sentry tower with all his strength.
…
Occasionally, a lord needs to charge forward to show his courage and make a show.
After Olan came down, Sals followed behind. The two took the helmets given by the soldiers and stepped forward with high spirits.
At this time, Marcus had already reached Haman.
"Seven meters, that's enough!"
Marcus showed off his speed skills again. He pressed his body to the ground and fiercely thrust out his long sword and rushed towards him.
Keng!
But the surrounding Vikings drew their swords from left to right and blocked him back.
But the two Vikings who blocked Marcus from capturing Haman showed their purpose and were shot by cold arrows at the same time.
Oran pulled out the Immortal Sword, pointed it downwards, very close to the ground, and drew it all the way across.
The ability that the defender brings to him is the perception of danger and the enhancement of his vision.
Once people become stronger, they will despise danger and become complacent.
For the first time, Olan chose to enter the field while the battle was still so intense.
When he appeared on the battlefield, the crossbowmen led by Tuman surrounded him, paying attention to whether there were any Vikings around who wanted to throw throwing axes.
Under Olan's persistent warning, everyone knew that even if the lord took risks, they had to reduce the risks in advance.
The first person to die under Oran's sword was a young warrior. He held the sword in his left hand and the armband on his hand was made of silver. He was a Viking freeman with some status and good swordsmanship.
But he was at the end of his strength, and with the archers behind Olan, this man had to concentrate on guarding his head and avoid exposing his body for too long, and his feet had to move flexibly.
In this unfair battle, Olan didn't even need to draw his sword. After a few feints, he seized the opportunity and killed the man with one sword.
Oran continued to move forward and killed two more people.
While Marcus was watching Olan's movements, a thought flashed through his mind. Can he succeed if he approaches from this angle?
But this is just a common conjecture to keep a vigilance towards Oran.
He will not take action easily until the safety of the people he cares about is resolved and he is sure to escape unscathed.
There were fewer and fewer people around Haman. Finally, including himself, there were only six people left, all crowded together.
But at this time, even if the shield wall is held high, there is nothing to defend. As long as Oran raises the spear in his hand and stabs it, these people will turn into meat.
Seeing Olan coming over, Marcus knew that he was trying to steal credit, but he couldn't say anything and stepped aside.
After being separated from the battle, Marcus's hands were shaking. He was still injured. He had killed twelve people in this battle. He had dodged multiple attacks and was exhausted. Even his sword had four corners broken. .
"Haman?" Oran raised the Immortal Sword levelly and pointed it at the bastard.
"Lord of the White Eagle, Your Excellency Oran." Haman knew that the end was over, so he used the wording as an honorific.
After the greetings, Oran stopped talking nonsense, gave Tuman a look, and surrounded the six people with crossbowmen, asking them to drop their weapons.
Oran didn't want Haman to die. The other five Vikings were all stabbed with spears and their blood flowed all over the ground.
The spearmen and the infantry went over, put weapons on Haman's neck, and knelt on the ground, making him look like a criminal ready to be beheaded.
The fighting outside the village fort also subsided.
Scavenger Abu finally ran away, but the boy and Ponytail were captured and brought over with the other prisoners.
Among these captives were eleven shieldmaidens.
After losing their weapons, they were no more than peasant women.
The shield maidens have no appearance, their faces are ashen.
After all, women's desire to go to the Hall of Valor is much lower than that of men.
Our wounded soldiers also leaned together in twos and threes, shouting in pain.
"Save as many as you can." After Oran ordered the army doctor, he gestured to the ponytail, the boy, and the one-eared man, "bring the three of them here."
Gemeng didn't expect his name to be mentioned. He was so surprised that he, Haman and Glock were all taken away.
The scene was devastated, so Olan randomly chose the nearest room and walked in.
The three leaders were covered with iron chains, and Kunsang, Nanding, and Armand stood behind them, leaving the three leaders powerless to resist.
One prisoner at a time entered the house.
In the previous operations to seize the fort, Oran had met two people except Haman.
He didn't waste any words, and first said to Glock who came in, "I checked on you, and you were supposed to take over as the leader, but after Shi Meng appeared, you lost your beloved woman, your status, and was forced to flee.
You are a warrior. Warriors do not deserve this kind of treatment. Come to me and I will help you take back all this. "
There are so many Vikings in the four northern counties. Oran doesn't want to spend time managing them. He just needs to select a few leaders first and let them manage and exploit them.
Shi Meng has thousands of people under his command. Even if he swallows it, it will be difficult for him to digest it. Supporting a native Viking to be their master will cost the least.
"Hahaha." Glock just laughed, feeling extremely ridiculous.
"Don't think about it, only you can protect that woman, not 'Simon Pig'.
Now, break your ridge and kneel down to Uncle Ben. If you don't want to, I will choose someone else to replace you. Then I will dig out your eyeballs and let others carry them. On the day I killed Shi Meng, I will hang them on the sentry post. On the tower, you can see with your own eyes the fate of those people. "
Armand released his hold on Glock, but his sword was ready to swing out at any moment.
The noble wolf finally lowered his head.
Glock told himself in his heart that this was to find opportunities, not to fear death.
And Olan despised it in his heart, it was for women, bullshit love...
Ten minutes later, Glock walked out without the chains on his body.
The second ones to enter were Kunsang and Gemeng.
Seeing that there were no Viking companions around him, Gemeng immediately knelt down and said, "Sir, I am willing to stand by your side and ask for your forgiveness."
Olan doesn't like those with too hard spines, but he also doesn't like those with too soft spines. The latter can easily rebel in order to survive, so Olan scares him first.
"Although Jin Ya is dead, he was the initiator, and you become the leader of his settlement, so you will inherit his sins."
"I was forced. Haman pushed me out just to control me. Apart from being the son of the former leader, I have no prestige and no power at all..."
Olan paused and raised his hand. Kunsang behind him raised his heavy sword and swung it with all his strength. Gemeng was frightened and fainted. But when he was splashed with water and woke up again, he found that he had fallen on the chair and the iron chain was gone. .
"Uncle Ben has seen your repentance. Let me ask you, do you know the locations of all the Viking strongholds in this operation?"
"I know, I know."
"Okay, kneel down."
"yes."
As soon as Olan's voice fell, Gemeng almost jumped up from his chair, and then his knees touched the ground with a sound.
After putting on the White Eagle Cross, Gemeng shouted that Oran is great.
"Single out all the surviving Viking warriors who may affect your rule later, and deal with them tonight..."
Oran plans to keep Gomon under control by making him responsible for hurting his companions.
After explaining what happened at the wedding that night, Ge Meng was forgiven and walked out.
Finally Haman comes in.
But Oran didn't give him a chance to speak. He gagged his mouth, broke his hands and feet, and cut off his other ear, causing him to completely lose his hearing.
"You killed Jinya and brutalized my people. Tonight, you will die together with the woman you love."
Olan walked out with blood on his hands. Haman watched Olan's lips flashing, but could not hear any meaning.
After noon, the chasing riders and infantrymen came back one after another, some carrying heads, and some carrying injured alive.
Oran announced that the prisoners would be under centralized custody, and said that a wedding banquet would be held in the evening, in a church that was not destroyed in the village fort.
Originally, Haman kept the church and planned to forcefully marry Sally after defeating Oran today.
But at this moment, he changed from the dominant one to the forced one.
Gemeng selected a group of brave and unrelated Viking warriors among the surviving Viking warriors, as well as people in Jinya's original settlement who were familiar with him but looked down upon him, a total of twenty-two people.
Oran pardoned the Vikings who were still alive and willing to convert, and allowed these twenty-two people to attend the wedding with Haman.
But these people were all tied up with chains or ropes, their hand bones were broken, and they were forcibly thrown into the church.
Clayton was the groom and Sally was the bride.
At about six o'clock in the afternoon, it was already dark, and the two of them entered the church one after another.
There was no red carpet, no musicians, just murderous White Eagle soldiers and lifeless Viking wounded.
The wedding was officiated by a military monk from Oran.
Haman sat in the seat closest to the stage, or rather slumped in pain, having no idea what was about to happen.
When Olan entered the scene, the bride Sally followed behind, and Sals helped hold her hand.
Clayton, who entered the venue early to wait, was not at all happy to see the bride.
The strange sights around him made him panic, but he couldn't get out. After betraying Earl and joining Oran, he was not tolerated by Earl's nobles.
There are only a few private soldiers of the manor who are still loyal to him, and they are all outside.
"Your Excellency." Everyone greeted him with salutes and watched Olan walk to the stage.
"Sally, your face!" Clayton saw that under the transparent veil, Sally's face was frighteningly pale, and her lips were frighteningly red.
Sals smiled and said, "Make-up is required on holy days. I used 'flour' to smear Miss Sally's face and 'horse blood' on her lips. Isn't it more beautiful than imagined?"
"Is this what you want? Clayton, you betrayed us and ultimately harmed yourself!"
After Sally finished speaking, Clayton could hardly dare to look directly at her.
It's so terrible. This face is not the sari I want. It's not beautiful and pure at all!
Sally's facial features were like a venomous snake spitting messages at him. Clayton was frightened and took a few steps back. He turned to look at Oran, wanting to stop this terrible wedding.
"What did you say? Knight of Claydon who has made great achievements, Your Excellency Orlan destroyed countless wings for you, finally eliminated the Vikings, and held a wedding banquet as soon as possible. Now you want to stop it?" Sars made an unacceptable decision. An expression of confidence.
"No, this is not a wedding!" Clayton touched his waist and pulled out his sword, but he didn't know who he was aiming at.
"Uncle Ben asked you, didn't you say that you would do anything for Sally, even sacrifice yourself?"
"I...I don't want it!"
After Sals approached, he added jealousy to him in a voice that only Clayton could hear, "The wedding and the death anniversary are both on the same day. The body dies together and the soul will never be separated. It is so enviable. The greatest There is nothing better than this love.”
"Shut up!"
Clayton swung his sword, but Sals quickly dodged it.
Sals and Orandu made a plan. They first pardoned the Vikings, brought these difficult-to-handle Vikings into the church, and then set them on fire.
After the "Ponytail Gomon" present got rid of these people, with the help of Oran and other prisoners, he began to control the remaining Vikings.
Gomen would announce to the other Viking captives that Haman did not know what was wrong and actually drew his sword in the church, regardless of the safety of the other surrenderers. Finally, he found that he could not break out and set fire to the church. However, His Excellency Oran still chose to forgive the Vikings who did not participate. captive.
As for whether they believe it or not?
All those who don’t believe in it will be rewarded with a sword.
Oran's explanation to his fellow believers was that Clayton saw his wife being killed by the Vikings, and after being angry to avenge her death, he refused to live and committed suicide in the church.
A loyal and touching "cavalier's love" will be passed down and become a well-known love story that will be passed down to future generations forever.
Some versions even say that after the church burned down, the two of them turned into a pair of butterflies and flew out...
Under Salz's later encouragement, "Clyden and Sally", this great love, will become an eternal story among English bards.
Seeing Clayton going crazy, Orland said, "Clayden is so happy, please calm down his mood."
After Oran finished speaking, Nanding went up and knocked down Cledon's sword and knocked him to the ground with the back of the sword.
It was almost time, Olan got up and left.
Sally looked at him as he passed her, but Oran didn't stop.
When Olan and his soldiers walked out, he snapped his fingers, and then a large number of torches were thrown in, and thick smoke quickly emerged.
The front door and the back door were locked.
Clayton yelled wildly, picked up his sword and pointed it at the Vikings who had lost the ability to fight, one by one.
After killing all these Vikings, the sword also fell apart. Finally, he pointed the sword at Sally. The two children turned red, and they changed from a handsome knight to a knight who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
Sally took off her veil and raised her hands for Clyden to take action.
But Clayton's hands were trembling, and he would rather slash randomly than dare to attack her.
Sally walked over and easily took the broken sword from Clayton's hand, hugged him and said, "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt."
Clayton's mind was already confused and he chose to hug Sally.
Card!
Sally suddenly pushed Clayton away, held the sword in both hands, and slashed hard from top to bottom, leaving bloody marks on his face.
After Clayton collapsed in pain, Sally struck with her sword many times, until she hit a hard bone and the whole sword was stuck and couldn't be pulled out.
At this time, all the crosses on the platform were burned down, Sally had difficulty breathing, surrounded by blazing fire, and prepared to face death.
The back door suddenly opened, and a figure rushed in!
The man quickly hugged Sally, covered her mouth and nose with a towel, and led her out.
The man held Sally in his arms and ran away in the dark night until he was completely far away from the Oran camp, then he put down Sally, who was half-dead after inhaling too much smoke.
The man dropped a dagger, a dirty and bloody shieldmaiden costume, and a bag of silver nuggets.
"If you can escape, then think about revenge."
The man wore a mask and left no identity, but Sally could recognize his voice.
It's the masked knight...
Marcus didn't stop for long and hurried back immediately.
Sally held the dagger in front of her chest and fainted slowly.
...
...
No matter what happened the day before, the sun always rises.
In the morning, Oran came outside the church, looked at the ashes and bones on the ground, and sighed to Salse beside him, "She is a good woman."
Sals replied, "Okay, I will send his father and brother to reunite immediately. The family should be in order."
Oran glanced at him, "It's too urgent. Stay for two more days and kill Shi Meng first. This bitch dares to bargain with Ben Bo. I want him to end up like Haman."
