Chapter 27 Strength is the last word

At noon, the flanking phalanx of the Laon front

"Is your Excellency Count Robert?" Edward looked at the attire of the man next to him and asked curiously.

The man glanced over and looked at Edward, nodded slightly doubtfully, and covered his silver scabbard with his cloak.

"I heard earlier that His Excellency the Earl sent a batch of stolen goods to Honfleur. It seems that he exchanged a lot of money." Edward chatted with Robert leisurely.

Robert looked a little flustered, and his eyes kept avoiding Edward's gaze.

"These are just rumors from the outside world. Mr. Marquis, you are still too worried."

Due to the superiority of the number of people on Capet's side, there were not many cavalry from the Duke of Lorraine on the opposite bank of the flanking phalanx, and the main forces of both sides were arrayed in the central base camp.

"I know what you care about." Edward leaned his head over and whispered softly.

"You're talking nonsense, I don't have such thoughts." Robert retorted hastily.

Edward showed a sincere smile, and turned his head to look at the position of the large army in the middle.

"It looks like it's about to start."

At noon, the center phalanx of the Laon front

"Your Majesty the Duke, the time has come. Have you considered carefully whether you should give me the position of King of France or let's compete to see who is qualified to sit on this throne." Capet's patience was exhausted and he began to hurry. Urgent.

Then the Duke of Lorraine first looked at the position of the sun, and then estimated it in his heart.

"There's nothing to talk about, let's fight to the end." With firm eyes, Charlie slowly drew out his sword.

"I gave such an answer after waiting for a long time. Strength is the last word. All troops are ready to attack in formation." The Duke of Normandy has already begun to issue offensive orders.

The war is about to break out. A whole column of cavalry rushes into the opponent's camp. There is a clanging sound of metal, the howling of the horses, and the shouts of the knights. This is a battle that concerns the fate of Frank.

"Report, there are a large number of unknown cavalry behind our army." A voice shouted loudly in the melee.

"How much is the number? How far is it from us." The Duke of Normandy understood the enemy's situation during the fierce battle.

"The number of people is about one or two thousand. It is predicted that they will join the battlefield within 5 minutes."

"Damn it, gather the troops on the flanks and form a formation to meet the enemy." The fearless Duke started his killing again.

On the other side of the fierce battle, a peaceful flank phalanx led by Edward
"There's a fight over there, let's hurry to help." Robert looked at the people over there who had been entangled with each other, thinking of rushing to help.

At this time, the military order passed from the middle required the flank phalanx to quickly assemble to the middle, and a large number of unknown enemy troops appeared in the rear, requesting cooperation in deployment.

"It's not too late, let's go." Robert was already pedaling his horse and preparing to drive there.

Edward wasn't in a hurry, "Let's go forward and surround the Duke of Lorraine's troops."

"Are you crazy? Isn't this exposing the two dukes of the large army to the enemy?"

Edward looked at Robert's puzzled eyes, and a strange smile crossed his face, "Isn't this exactly what you want?"

"All the troops, quickly rush into the enemy's position and surround them." Edward took the lead in giving the action order before Robert could figure it out. The cavalry on the flanks charged towards the Duke of Lorraine's position.

Behind the Laon Front
"Finally, I saw a figure. They are already fighting. Let's hurry up." Li Peijun kept pedaling his horse vigorously.

"We can catch them off guard by going around and outflanking them like this." Bernard was also extremely excited.

"It's your fault. There are four of us. Two more zeros are enough. When the time comes, we must first ensure our own safety when the time comes, and then consider going into battle to kill the enemy."

"The task is completed, gain strength +3, stamina +3, skill points +3."

"The completion notification sound is a bit slow. This time, the skill is added to the knight's exclusive skill, so I will pick this one. It is the most useful now."

"Skills upgraded successfully, currently trapped at level 3."

"Good guy, get ready for a big fight." Li Peijun licked the wet blood on his lips.

The middle phalanx on the front line of Laon.

"Report, Lord Duke, it's Burgundian cavalry." Another voice came from the melee.

The Duke of Normandy was still fighting hard with his left and right moves, and kept swearing, "The guys from Burgundy are also involved in this matter, have the flank troops assembled?"

"The troops on the right have not yet."

"Whatever that guy Edward is doing, don't care, hold on first, we still have an advantage here, Your Excellency the Duke, we must finish off Charlie's army as soon as possible." The Duke of Normandy was very heroic, and followed Capet all the way forward to kill .

"I will go directly to kill the Lord later, and you can just watch and protect yourself." Li Peijun's eyes exuded a cold light, and the blood in his hand had stained the hilt of the sword red.

Li Peijun's four-member regiment rushed straight into the melee. Because he had learned how to be trapped, Li Peijun could come and go freely among the horses galloping and crisscrossing, all the way unimpeded, as if it had its own positioning system.

"The first one will take you." Those nobles are also very easy to find, and their distinctive attire is very eye-catching in the crowd. When Li Peijun saw the nearest one, he rushed over.

The Lord heard movement from behind, and immediately turned around to block. Li Peijun first tried to directly suppress the opponent with strength.

"This gang of dead nobles, why are they all so strong?" Li Peijun saw that he couldn't take advantage of it, first he held the rein in one hand and turned the horse sideways, and then pulled back to open the distance again.

Li Peijun adjusted his angle and threw his sword like a throwing back. The Lord sneered and calmly blocked the attack.

However, the sword kept spinning down along the Lord's blade strangely. Li Peijun took the opportunity to clap his horse and re-hold the sword and got stuck in the position of the gauntlet and hilt, and picked out the Lord's sword from his hand again. .

"You won't be the first, nor will you be the last." Li Peijun followed up with a stab and a throat slit, and then kicked him off his horse. This time he was completely put to rest.

"Who's next?" Li Peijun glanced sternly, and immediately found the target and chased after him.

The lord's reaction seemed a little slow. Before he could react, he was stabbed from behind by Li Peijun. Li Peijun pierced his sword into his thick armor like a skewer.

"This armor is quite thick." Li Peijun took a lot of effort to get the sword out, blood spattered all over his body again.

The sound of leather tearing came from behind, Li Peijun turned around, and Bernard helped himself block the cavalry who wanted to attack.

"Bernard, get out of the way." Li Peijun rushed over, directly held the sword against him and pushed the opponent's sword back.

Seeing his sword slowly approaching other people's bodies, Li Peijun raised his head directly, and then staged a good show of prancing horses spinning and killing.

"Are you all right, Mr. Bernard?"

"It's okay, it's just a bump here on the arm."

"Be careful, leave the rest to me." Li Peijun quickly got on the horse again and continued to search for the target.

"Your Excellency, another group of troops rushed in from the rear." Another message came out during the scuffle.

"Is it the enemy again?" The Duke of Normandy began to worry about his situation.

"There are only four people, they should be friendly troops. They fought with the Burgundian cavalry, and one of them has already killed several enemy generals."

"Four people? No matter, keep fighting." The Duke of Normandy continued to fight.

"Tell the left wing to stabilize, and quickly contact the right wing for support." Capet also issued an order during the fierce battle.

"Report, the right wing of our army has appeared in the rear position of the Duke of Lower Lorraine." Not far away came the news of the long-lost right wing unit.

"Edward is going here and there, don't care, hurry up and capture the Duke of Lorraine alive."

Laon Front, Lower Duke of Lorraine Position
"An unknown number of enemies appeared behind our army's position, please instruct."

The Duke of Lower Lorraine lost his expression, as if the general situation was gone, and he immediately lost the will to fight.

"The whole army retreated in an orderly manner. The operation failed." Charlie was also decisive. Before his situation completely deteriorated, he quickly started to shift his strategy.

"Where's Burgundy's allies?"

"Self-fed, iron-clad interests, and allies in the water, give up when it's time to give up." The Duke behaved like a cold-hearted politician, continuing to implement the retreat order.

"Your Excellency Charlie, long time no see." A shout came from a distance, and it was Edward who had led his troops to surround him.

"The flanks first cover the main force and retreat in an orderly manner." Charlie didn't care about the casualties of some people, and the only serious thing was to preserve his strength.

The two sides fought for a while, but there was no large-scale exchange of fire. The Duke of Lower Lorraine fled calmly with most of his troops, and Edward did not continue to pursue him.

"Return to the main battlefield." Edward readjusted the battle plan again, but Robert didn't understand what he meant.

Laon Main Battlefield

"The eighth."

Li Peijun shook off the arm he had just cut off, and looked at the remaining lords waiting for his butcher knife on the battlefield.

However, Burgundy's army had already begun to be defeated, and Li Peijun followed up to harvest a few people and stopped chasing them.

"The task is completed, gain strength +3, stamina +3, skill points +3, and achievement: kill the Quartet."

"It seems to be a victory." Li Peijun stroked his hair, the tip of the hair on his forehead was dyed brown red.

"Your Excellency Capet's wish is about to come true." The Duke of Normandy congratulated.

"It's just the last step."

Capet led the troops non-stop and marched towards the urban area of ​​Laon.
