Chapter 669 Goddess of War(1/2)
When Victor arrived at the camp in Maverick Village, soldiers on the Eastern Defense Line were cleaning the battlefield.
Jillian had sharp eyes and was the first to see her lover. She pushed past the attendants who were busy recording the spoils and ran over from a distance. She cheered, and in front of the attendants, she jumped on Victor's body, full of elasticity.
She wrapped her slender legs around his waist, kissed him quickly on the lips, and then let go of Victor with a giggle.
"Do you miss me? Did you bring me a gift?"
Miss Chebman stretched out her slender hand towards Victor, with a crimson complexion and affectionate phoenix eyes, which was less cold and glamorous than before, but more charming.
She is wearing a set of dark red women's leather armor, with beautiful shape and fine workmanship, which outlines the tall and hot body curves. This is a gift specially given to Gillian by the Sasanian royal family. It is made of gold-grade centaur leather and is tanned into a women's style.
Full-body leather armor. Gold-level centaur leather is a rare item that is compatible with the earth element. The affinity efficiency of the void earth element and the combat defense performance are better than the mithril armor, which is especially suitable for earth knights. Jillian usually likes this set
The leather armor was so precious that I couldn't bear to take it out and wear it even if it was stored in a big iron box.
Although the golden centaur leather armor is good, it also attracts the hatred of centaurs. However, when fighting against the centaur army, it doesn't matter whether it attracts hatred or not.
Victor held Jillian's soft and delicate hands, looked at her carefully from head to toe, and made sure that she was not damaged. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "What worries me the most is you, an Earth Knight who is not yet an Earth Knight."
Gillian felt sweet in her heart, but she persistently asked: "Where is my gift?"
"It came in a hurry, I will make up for it next time." Victor shook his head and laughed, looked at the dilapidated Maverick Village camp, frowned and asked: "What's going on? Why are our main reinforcements from Gombis here with half of them?"
A decisive battle between men and horses?"
"We just had a fight."
"Well, obviously."
"Won."
“Excellent.”
"We got many, many trophies, half of the centaur leather alone belongs to us..."
Jillian said with bright eyes.
"Yes, I saw it..."
Victor swept his eyes across the battlefield and collected a lot of information. Of course, anyone who is not blind can see what is happening here.
"Princess Freya Frederik promised to give our Cambys reinforcements a generous gift."
"I really don't know... My dear, I'm as happy about this as you are... Forget it, I'll ask someone else, and you can continue counting the loot... We'll see you later."
Seeing Count Terlandon from Centaur Hill and several high-ranking knights of Cambys approaching, Victor kissed Gillian's face and waved to the high-ranking knights to talk somewhere else.
The movement here has been seen by the priests and the Sasanian knights. His Royal Highness Randall stopped where he was and waited for the high knight of Gombis. They did not want to disturb him and they were all doing their own things.
Victor led the high-ranking knights of Gombis to find a secluded place, asked his entourage to disperse their alert, and asked solemnly: "There are two missing sirs... Viscount Giris York and Ford.
Count Auguste.”
Everyone's expressions suddenly became gloomy, and Earl Terlandon York said sadly: "Lords Giris and Forte unfortunately fell into the hands of the Centaur Great Khan."
Giris and Forte are the older generation of Silver Knights in Gombis. They are both over 100 years old. They have been stuck at the top of the Silver Level for a long time. Before Gombis’ reinforcements went north, Sylvia and
Marquis Gronn predicted that these two earth knights would be the most likely to fight to the death and the most likely to fall.
The royal family of Gombis and the descendants each lost a silver knight. Victor had mixed feelings in his heart, but the great knight felt it was a shame to end his life, and it was their tradition to return to the elemental sea by dying in battle.
He adjusted his mood and asked again: "Where is our eldest princess and the ladies from the major families?"
Victor's former neighbor, Viscount Erics, replied: "The Centaur Great Khan led a few ferocious centaurs to break through the encirclement and fled south. Over there is the Wharton Prairie, and Dodo's Iron Wall Knights are in a hurry
To pursue, King Friedrich asked us and the Sasanians to assist in the pursuit. Her Royal Highness the Princess felt that we people were running too slowly, so she and the three ladies led the Velociraptor Knights to pursue them."
Hearing that Roland was safe and sound, Victor breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Did we lose much in this battle?"
"The losses were heavy. 1,889 of the more than 20,000 elite members of Gombis were killed on the spot, more than 700 were seriously injured, and more than 5,000 were slightly injured." Count Terlandon said sadly: "Two great knights fell, 14 official knights died, 55
A trainee knight died in the battle. Your Highness, your little squire, Knight Salu, was also unfortunately killed. The rest of the people were injured, but are not seriously injured."
Saru is a noble child adopted by Silver Moon Manor from the Eastern Alliance. He is one of the few trainee knights who have naturally awakened. With the knight's spiritual secret method and golden potion designed by Victor, he has a greater chance of being promoted to a senior knight, and even
Achieve Silver level.
Little Salu died in the battle, and Victor felt sorry and sad, but the flowers in the greenhouse were destined to be fragile and useless. Only those who have truly experienced the war can become the pillars of the Randall family. Fortunately, Charlotte and other little
The knights are fine. Victor believes that this bloody battle will be the foundation for their growth and the beginning of their life transformation.
This idea can be regarded as a kind of self-comfort for Victor. Little Salu has just turned 15 years old. At his age, he should not participate in such a level of battle, and he does not need to bear the accusation of cowardice. Victor took the little squire from the army.
Qiu Ling brought them to the Sasan Empire, just to let them see the real pioneering war, and he was not prepared to let them die. Before leaving, Victor had arranged for them, but in the end, a young attendant died.
The culprit must be Roland!
"Patriarch Frides will not ask you to take the initiative. What happened in Duncan's Fortress?" Victor asked coldly, with ice in his eyes.
The high-ranking knights looked at each other with strange expressions. Finally, Viscount Alex stood up and answered the guardian's question:
"The Centaur Great Khan came fiercely and attacked the Maverick Village camp. We didn't want to fight at first. It happened that not long after Patriarch Frides left Duncan's Fortress, Princess Freya Frederick led three
High-ranking knights and 3,000 cavalry came to the fortress."
"My Highness personally went to the gate to greet Princess Freya and asked her directly if she came to avenge His Majesty Frederick and Archduke Frederick? If so, the 20,000 soldiers of Cambys will give her full assistance."
Erics couldn't help but smile and continued: "Princess Freya Frederick was stunned for a moment, nodded and said yes. Then, it became like this."
Terlandon added next to him: "While His Highness Augustus was summoning the army, we made suggestions and hoped to inform Patriarch Frides, Blood Wolf Castle, Duchess Basilius and His Majesty Frederick first.
Princess Roland refused to accept the suggestion and said in front of the generals that if we don't dare to fight the revenge battle against the centaurs, then there will be no need for Nantuo in Gombis."
Victor sighed in his heart. Roland and Freya had a similar experience. She first used words to pick up Freya, and then mentioned the battle of revenge. The Silver Knights of Gombis thought of His Majesty Ryan and the Three Eastern Countries.
Provincial war, what else can they say?
But why would Roland risk Gombis's elite cavalry?
The vassal cavalry are all elites painstakingly cultivated by each family. They are loyal, brave, and good at fighting. They are all all-rounders, even better than special forces. The cavalry from big families live in Pinghu Town. As long as they swear allegiance to the Randall family, they will be able to fight.
Qualified to serve as captains of ten in the mercenary corps, commanding 24 mercenary soldiers. They are the backbone of the mercenary corps and also military instructors. Nelson and Victor attach great importance to such people. Even if they cannot fully trust them, they try to win over and explore them.
Bring out their talents and improve the military quality of the hired soldiers.
In fact, when the lord issues a war order, the vassal cavalry will assume the responsibilities of grassroots officers. Each of them can command 10 to 20 armed militia. Once the people and horses are fully mobilized, the 5,000-man Fang Legion can be expanded to 70,000 soldiers.
.
If such an elite dies, the little lord will be heartbroken. Victor cannot understand Roland's military adventure, nor can he figure out her true intention of taking the initiative.
"Freya hoisted the black flag of revenge, and the news quickly spread throughout the defense area of Duncan's Fortress. The knights and soldiers on guard asked for battle one after another, and the priests stationed in the fortress couldn't hold it back." Terlandon continued: "In the afternoon, we
Arrive at the Maverick Village camp. Outside the camp, there are about thousands of centaurs on guard and confronting us. Waiting for the centaurs to break through the fence and carry food supplies. His Highness Roland led more than 280 dragon knights to attack first, and then everyone
The army pressed forward. The garrison infantry came over in a steady stream, but the second person to join the battle was Her Highness Oroxia Basileus."
Victor's mind moved. The Centaur Great Khan attacked the Maverick Village camp. Oroxia, who was guarding the northern section of the defense line, and King Friedrich, who was guarding the southern section, should mobilize mobile cavalry to move closer to the Duncan Fortress defense area. They
It can indeed quickly support the Maverick Village camp.
Princess Freya Frederik showed the black flag to avenge the emperor and the archduke. The garrison soldiers on the eastern frontier were furious. The high-ranking combat priests of Duncan Fortress could not suppress it. Oroxia and Friedrich both
Even the commander could not stop the commotion of the garrison.
Especially Oroxia Basileus, the murderer of the Emperor and the Grand Duke was camped in Maverick Village. Freya launched a war of revenge with a clear-cut banner. Duchess Basileus did not respond to the call for revenge and even prevented the garrison soldiers from supporting them.
The defenders of the Maverick Village Camp seek revenge for their monarch. Is this a blatant act of separatism?
Roland ran against Freya for revenge, which was equivalent to coercing the soldiers of the Sasan Empire to join the war. Their number exceeded the Gombis reinforcements and became the main force in the attack, and their military morale was available!
Of course, their casualties must be more than those of Cambis reinforcements.
"Her Royal Highness Oroxia joined the battle, and we worked hard to squeeze the centaurs into the camp. The soldiers from the defense area rushed in one by one and fought fiercely with the centaurs inside the camp. The third cavalry arriving on the battlefield was the Dodo.
, but they did not go into battle immediately, but gathered their troops in the south."
"Duke Basilius's Griffith Knights rushed to the battlefield when the sun set. Without rest, they rushed directly into the camp to join the battle." Viscount Erics said excitedly: "This battle was fought very fast, and the centaurs were better than us.
As expected, he was weak and unable to perform, and was squeezed on the south side of the fortress, leaving a mess of casualties. Finally, the Centaur Great Khan broke down the fence and led a few ferocious centaurs to break out from the Dodo people."
The Dodo Cavalry hesitated to move forward, which was reasonable. King Friedrich was most worried about this Centaur army entering the undefendable Wharton Prairie. They deployed heavy troops in the southern section of the defense line to either deter the Centaur from going south, or to
Try to kill the centaur warriors and reduce their numbers. Roland wants the Dodo cavalry to take the initiative, and it is almost impossible for Friedrich to agree.
Freya raised the banner of revenge for the emperor and the archduke, and the Sasan garrison soldiers in the southern section of the defense line were ready to move. King Friedrich had no choice but to make an immediate decision and summon the Iron Wall Knights and the Motorized Cavalry to support the battle of the Maverick Village Fortress.
He used practical actions to tell the garrison in the southern section of the defense line: We are going to fight the Centaurs, and you can safely hold on to the fortifications.
Duduo's reinforcements arrived at the battlefield, but they stood still and defended on the spot. First, the Maverick Village camp was full of people and centaurs, and they couldn't squeeze in. Second, they had to prevent the centaur army from breaking through the fence and escaping to the south.
Therefore, the Iron Wall Knights and the Dodo Cavalry formed their formations on the spot and adopted a defensive posture.
Friedrich's response may have been part of Roland's calculations.
According to Terlandon, Roland and Oroxia led the army to squeeze the centaurs to the south side of the fortress, and outside the south wall there were tens of thousands of human soldiers waiting to work. Therefore, the centaur Great Khan
Unable to make up its mind to break through to the south, it waited until all the centaurs were dead or injured before breaking the fence of the camp and leading the remaining centaurs to flee south.
Victor's thoughts gradually became clearer and he gradually grasped Roland's intentions.
The Centaur Great Khan gathered his troops and counterattacked the hinterland of the human empire. This move was very clever. It mobilized at least half of the human cavalry, which greatly reduced the pressure on the Centaur tribe who fled to the eastern region. The Centaur gang could even counter-hunt.
Human Cavalry.
