Mount and Blade

"Dick, I'll leave this to you. If I fail, you can lead your troops and flee in the direction of the Fire Dragon's Lair. Gulenberudo will definitely accept you!!" Edward looked at him as if he was telling the aftermath. By Dick et al.

Dick's face turned pale with anxiety, but he looked determined: "Are you kidding me? I will definitely stick to this place!"

...Even if the Grand Duke's knights don't come after him, there are still light cavalry from the nobles who support the Grand Duke! This group of people came in a hurry, but there were no horses! How could he possibly outrun that group of light cavalry?

Edward nodded resolutely and led an elite team to fight in a roundabout way, preparing to attack the Grand Duke.

...

When Edward was about to lose his mind, Gulumberudo had just calmly organized the team and prepared to set off. This time, the team accompanying him was the 500-person Flame Dragon Knights and 500 elite cavalry. .

Gulumberudo held the war hammer in his right hand and held up a shield in his left hand. He put on a full set of armor and rode out into battle on a chariot.

This combat mission is to rescue the diplomat noble who fell into Judah's sphere of influence alone from the "Fire Dragon's Lair".

Although this combat operation had to bypass the enemy's frontline base, Fort Chester, which was extremely dangerous, Gulenberudo was not too worried.

There are so many complicated things happening recently. Whether it was the matter of the princess or Sikel... Now he was very happy to go to the battlefield and vent his grievances. He could worry about troublesome things after the war.

Gulenberdo quickly counted the men and horses, and based on the letter sent by the messenger eagle, he moved towards the place indicated in the letter.

Shortly after he led his troops away, Edward's Eagle Transformation arrived at the empty castle tower, and the palace of the city lord was already empty.

The letter eagle stayed at the window of the castle tower and tilted his head. He circled around the Fire Dragon's Lair. He didn't find anyone he knew, so he followed the footsteps of Gurung Beludo's team to look for them.

At this time, after about half a while, Gulumberudo's army seemed to have gone very far. General Kirsten came in a hurry.

"The general has already set off," the soldier replied truthfully.

"What? Oops, it's really careless!" Kirsten walked back and forth in the room, looking at the contents of the letter, feeling anxious.

...Even if he believed that Gulun Beru would return safely, if he was ambushed by Judah, his soldiers would suffer heavy losses!

Kirstin suddenly stopped and ordered to the soldiers: "Assemble a thousand troops, and we will immediately go to the jungle between the Fire Dragon's Lair and the Chester Fortress to prepare for Gulumberudo's safe return." The soldiers took the order and left, and soon an infantry regiment was assembled.

"General, all the elites of a thousand infantry regiments are here!!" the adjutant reported, and everyone on the school field was seen wearing battle armor, in full formation, ready to go.

Just as Kirsten was preparing to lead the infantry regiment to quickly move towards the destination. A light cavalry hurried into the "Fire Dragon's Lair" and found General Kirstin.

"Report to the General, the Grand Duke wants to clear out all the old nobles in the city who are against him! Although the Grand Duke's conspiracy has been temporarily stopped under the leadership of His Excellency Edward, there are insufficient troops and horses, and the battle is extremely tragic!"

"Please ask General Kirstin to quickly go to Norudkahuati for support!!" The light cavalry said panting with dust and sweat on their faces.

Kirstin's expression changed, he clenched his fists, and was in a dilemma. On one side is the adopted son Gurung Berudo who is about to go into danger; on the other side is Edward who is under threat in the city and his close friends from the past...

The adjutant of the Fire Dragon's Nest reminded in a low voice: "General, Captain Gulumberudo has always been the bravest of the three armies, and he must be able to deal with the dangers on the way. But the situation on Sir Edward's side is critical. If he does not receive timely assistance, I am afraid that When the time comes, Grand Duke He Kun, who is at the height of his power in the Principality of Grant, will definitely not let go of Gurung Beludo and hand over the back of the "Fire Dragon's Nest" to the Grand Duke. The consequences will be disastrous!"

Kirstin gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind, "Prepare your horse!!"

Since the Fire Dragon's Lair is in an extremely dangerous strategic location, there are always a few fast horses left to deliver messages to the capital, Norud Kahuati, but now it has come in handy.

"I will lead the Guards to support Edward and the others. You...the adjutant under Hickel, what is your name?"

"My name is Tino, General." The young man straightened his back and looked at the idol he had admired since childhood with burning eyes.

"Very well, Tino, I will temporarily appoint you as the thousand-man commander of the infantry regiment. The plan is as planned before. You must bring Gulumberudo back safely!!"

Tino nodded, put his right hand into a fist and placed it on his left chest, with a loud and firm voice: "Yes, General, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

At this time, the two fast horses prepared for Kirstin for transfer were also brought in. Kirstin quickly got on his horse and led the light cavalry who came to deliver the message towards Norudkahua. Speeding away in the direction of the embankment.

Little does he know whether what is waiting for him is the snare of fate or a glimmer of hope for a miracle?

Tino took the order and turned to face the infantry regiment behind him, his eyes were cold and majestic: "Brothers, we are setting off now to meet General Gulenberudo. Everyone must remain vigilant. There may be Judah soldiers along the way. The scouts are full of dangers!"

The soldiers shouted in unison: "Obey the order of the Thousand Leader!"

During the march, Tino was both nervous and excited. He was nervous because he didn't know what kind of danger he would encounter ahead, and he was excited to be appreciated by General Kirstin and take on such an important task.

——Norudkahuati——

When Kirstin finally got the news and rushed to Norudkahuati, Edward had already deployed his team to capture and kill He Kun, the enemy leader.

When Edward led the elite team to sneak into the alley on the side of the battlefield, He Kun was still roaring at the chaotic battle situation in the back, urging the soldiers to regroup and attack.

Edward and his team quickly shuttled through the narrow alley, trying not to make any noise to avoid exposing their whereabouts.

At this time, the shouting and killing on the battlefield gradually faded away, replaced by the nervous breathing and light footsteps of Edward's team. They went back along the alley to not far behind He Kun's position. Edward signaled the team members to stop, and he carefully stuck his head out to observe. He Kun was surrounded by several confidants and knights, pointing at the battle ahead with a face full of anger.

Edward took a deep breath, clenched the sword in his hand, and whispered to the team members: "We will rush out later, break through the knights' defense line as quickly as possible, and take He Kun's life directly. Remember, there is only one chance, success or failure depends on this one move." The team members nodded one after another, their eyes firm and resolute.

With Edward's order, the team rushed out of the alley like an arrow from a string. The sudden attack caught He Kun's guards off guard, but they quickly reacted. The knights quickly rode their horses to block He Kun and raised their spears to prepare for the battle.

Edward rushed to a knight first, sidestepped the spear he stabbed, then jumped up suddenly, slashed the knight's arm with a sword, and the spear shaft broke, and the knight was pulled off the horse unexpectedly.

Other team members also fought fiercely with the enemy. For a while, the sound of metal collision and shouting rang in this small area.

However, these knights trusted by He Kun were not all ordinary people. They reacted and fought desperately, which caused a lot of obstacles to the attack of Edward and others.

The battle fell into a stalemate. Every second of delay was more and more disadvantageous to Edward and his men, because once the large army in front noticed something strange in the rear and returned to help, they would be in a desperate situation.

Just when Edward was anxious, he suddenly found a flaw in the defense of a knight. He seized the opportunity, rushed forward, pulled him off the horse, stabbed his sword into his throat, and took the lance. Edward, who was proficient in horsemanship, quickly grabbed the knight's warhorse and pulled away for a distance.

Then, he took advantage of this momentum, flashed by the other knights who were still entangled, turned his horse's head and charged at He Kun.

He Kun widened his eyes in horror and reached out to draw his sword in panic, but Edward's lance was already close at hand! !
