Chapter 78 Sir, times have changed

After the battle on the Plain of Dias, Richard did not lead his army back to the city of Aosta. Instead, he pursued the victory along the footsteps of Ingiard's escape, no matter how capable Ingiard and his defeated army were. Even if he ran, he still couldn't outrun the four-legged Richard Cavalry.

When Richard led his cavalry in pursuit to Ingiard, the once glorious rebel leader looked very embarrassed, and walked straight along the paved road under the escort of his loyal soldiers. ——If they realize that Richard's cavalry can quickly catch up with them, I'm afraid they won't take the road openly.

However, he never realized this.When Richard's cavalrymen appeared in their sight, the noble rebels who were still gathered around Inguiard screamed heart-piercingly, and then fled in all directions like mice seeing a cat. Just throw Inguiard and his senior management and their guards in the middle of the road.

"Charge! Capture Inguiard alive!"

Richard, the leader, yelled loudly, slashing the sword in front of the void, and the cavalry behind him raised the knight's long sword, roaring towards Ingiard and the nobles who were surrounded by personal guards.Facing the charge of Richard's cavalry, the guards seemed to have returned to the battlefield that took place on the Diasd Plain a day ago, back to the time when they witnessed the frontline soldiers being crushed and destroyed by the heavy cavalry.

"Mother of the Seven Hundred Gods!"

Under the desperate eyes of the personal guards, Richard's cavalry ran into their weak line of defense head-on, and the burqa-clad horses slammed into the enemies blocking the road with a powerful impact, and then the horseshoes stomped heavily, The strength of a thousand catties collapsed the chest of the guard who fell on the ground. The poor guard instantly bled from his orifices, twitched a few times in pain and lost his vitality.

Although these personal guards still chose to stay to protect their Yars when facing a strong enemy, it does not mean that each of them is a brave warrior who is not afraid of death. Under the powerful charge of Richard's heavy cavalry, these The guards suffered heavy losses, and the psychological defense finally collapsed. They threw away their helmets and armor, fled in all directions, and surrendered the nobles to the enemy.

Richard's cavalry ignored the fleeing guards, but rode their horses to surround the abandoned nobles. Ingiard and others drew their swords at the enemy, and the former even shouted loudly: "We Will not surrender! Only fight to the death!"

"Inguiard, just because you are willing to die in battle doesn't mean they are willing to die in battle." Richard, who was sitting on the back of his horse, looked coldly at Turgayer, who was trying to resist, and said from his perspective It can be seen that the nobles behind Inguiard dodged their eyes, obviously not the kind of people who would resist to death.

"Put down your weapons and surrender to me. I can guarantee that you will not be punished in any way!"

"Who are you? What qualifications do you have to make such a promise?" A nobleman shouted, but Ingiard's stern eyes glanced over immediately, making the young nobleman take a step back.

"I am Richard Stuart, Earl Cuban of the Kingdom of Ravana. As you can see, I am a foreign aid invited by King Anders." Richard said lightly, "I swear on the honor of the family, As long as you are willing to lay down your arms and surrender to me, I will intercede with King Anders."

"But." Richard changed the subject again, pointing at Ingiard, who looked solemn, and said, "Ingiard, the leader of the rebel army, will not be pardoned."

"hiss--"

As soon as they heard that Richard was the famous Earl of Cuban in the Sea of ​​Shining, several nobles couldn't help but gasp, and what Richard said next made them couldn't help turning their eyes to the people standing at the very end. Inguiard in the front and the back peeped at each other, exchanging glances.

"Why are you still hesitating? Are you going to fight with Inguiard?"

Richard's slightly icy voice sounded again, and as Giarde's face became more gloomy, he turned his head to look at the whispering noble allies, and said, "Are you going to betray me?"

"This..." Several people's expressions changed, and they were speechless for a while.

Inguiard smiled coldly, turned his head to look at Richard who was not much older than his son, and said, "Earl Richard, King Anders must have promised you a very good condition, so that you Send you across the open sea to join our civil war."

At this point, Richard was not in a hurry, he looked at Inguiard with interest, and wanted to hear what he could say, so he replied in a relaxed tone: "The conditions are just so-so. .”

"What condition did King Anders promise you, I can give you better." Inguiard stared at Richard with piercing eyes, his eyes were full of unwillingness, "As long as you can help I have seized the throne of the Kingdom of Falcone, and I can give you any benefit."

"Like what?" Richard asked with interest.

"For example..." Seeing that Richard seemed a little interested, Inguiard was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said, "I can give you everything except the throne."

However, he thought in his heart that he was just talking casually anyway, and at that time, it was still unknown whether he would fulfill his promise.He didn't think that after becoming a king, he would fail to fight against the little Earl Richard with the power of the whole country.

"Haha..." Richard laughed out loud. He looked at Inguiard as if he were a fool, and mocked: "Inguiard, although I am still underage, this does not mean that I am not yet an adult. I'm stupid, don't use the things that your soybean-sized brain comes up with on me."

"you……"

The face of Inguiard who was suddenly insulted was flushed with anger. He suddenly raised the saber in his hand and pointed at Richard. Before he could utter harsh words, Richard stepped behind him. Several nobles shouted: "How many of you are still not acting?"

"what?"

Yingyard's expression changed, and just when he was about to turn around to check, two cold sword blades suddenly crossed his neck. The cold touch made his hair stand up, and his whole body became stiff and unable to move.

"Inguiard." Only the voice of the young nobleman who asked Richard a question just now sounded in his ear, "My lord, times have changed."
