Mount and Blade

............

The days passed in the blink of an eye and it was time for the White Dragon Knights to go to the frontier.

Kadi seemed very busy recently. He only checked his exercise status occasionally at dusk. Now it was no problem for him to do a split. The front line was in urgent need. At dawn, the White Dragon Knights were ready to go with a solemn atmosphere.

"Everyone of the White Dragon Knights, I believe you have heard about the war in the front. My heart is very heavy. Although I just returned to the capital to welcome new companions, we must rush to the front line to defend our dignity! For Midland! For our homeland, fight!"

Yuris drew out the sword at his waist, shining in the morning light, and pointed directly at the northwest front.

"Oh!! For Midland!!!"

"Let's go!!!"

With the order of the general, the gate slowly opened, and the Knights drove away, raising dust.

The city at dawn was quiet and heavy, but the people on both sides had already watched the White Dragon Knights.

Seeing this, Yuris waved his hand to signal the Knights to slow down and pass through the city.

"You must come back safely!"

"You must win..."

"You must win and come back safely!"

People on both sides of the street looked at the well-equipped knights with heavy faces.

Some cheered for the Knights, and some prayed for victory. In the early winter, the cold weather added a bit of solemnity to the White Dragon Knights who were about to go out.

Snowflakes were floating in the sky. This was the first snow of the year. In such cold weather, they had to rush to the front line without stopping, which was enough to prove how fierce the battle was.

Green looked at both sides of the road, but he didn't see the familiar figure this time. It was also true that it was just dawn, and the day had just begun. I just don't know how long this separation will last?

Outside the city, the sound of horse hooves, the knights stepped on the first snow of early winter and rushed to the battlefield.

Barkley

Life is too boring except for traveling, eating and resting. There is no trace of the mysterious man in Barkley, and the owner of the arena thinks that he is too young and does not allow him to participate in the competition.

Lying on the roof of the tavern, Ali below is trying to swing the big sword in his hand. His strength is not small, but it is only the attribute of an ordinary person, with only 15 points of strength, although it is very good for this age.

Thanks to Ali, the box of loot bought a full 1,100 dinars! Now I can live in the tavern every day because the slums are too shabby.

"The army is going to the battle, civilians should avoid it!!"

There was a noisy sound of orderly steps on the street. It was Barkley's army that was about to leave the city. This scene attracted Green's attention.

The neat and uniform Barkley heavy infantry and about 20 to 30 Barkley Empire knights, the last row was Barkley crossbowmen, each wearing heavy studded plate armor, and they were the elite among the elite. After all, Barkley's legion is famous for its excellent heavy armor and is also a very powerful maritime empire.

What are they going to do with a hundred people like this? Green didn't remember that Barkley was in conflict with any forces now.

"Are those pirates from Vanskerry coming again?"

"Yes, I heard that they have looted no less than three or four villages. His Majesty the King is furious and is calling on the army and various militia groups..."

"What a bastard! These pirates from Vanskerry are simply evil..."

"No wonder..."

Listening to the citizens' discussions below, Green also learned a lot about the situation.

"So that's it..."

Green's mouth curled up a little. Such an interesting thing can't be missed. He quickly flipped down the roof and patted Ali's shoulder.

"Let's go over and take a look." Green took his old horse and mounted it, stretching out his hand to signal the boy to get on the horse.

"Okay." The boy nodded, stretched out his right hand and was pulled on the horse by Green, and the two followed the army that had already left the city and rode away.

............

Outside the city.

In order to avoid being caught as a spy, Green was only about three kilometers away from the army. Perhaps because the destination was clear and they were not afraid of being attacked on their own territory, the army of about a hundred people did not even send scouts.

When they were about twenty miles away, they heard shouts of killing in front of them. It seemed that two groups of people had met.

Green rode his horse to a high place far away from the battlefield. The fight between the two groups below was extremely fierce. The pirates were well-equipped. There were about a hundred people. Spears and axes were everywhere on the battlefield. It seemed that he could not intervene with his current equipment.

No matter how good the Vanskerry pirates were at fighting, they were no match for the heavily armored Barkley's elite troops. They were soon almost defeated. Green also noticed that a Vanskerry man with fine armor seemed to be injured. He should be a leader. He was being surrounded by several people and running towards the woods. The Barkley crossbowmen behind them were shooting mercilessly. The people around the leader were shot and fell one by one, but the man was shot with two arrows but still fled into the depths of the jungle.

The thirty or forty pirates left on the battlefield were completely unaware of the leader's escape. They fought back against Barkley's army, creating space for their leader to escape.

Seeing this, Green asked Ali to dismount and drove his horse to capture the leader, because such people are usually very valuable.

"Tap" "Tap" "Tap"

The sound of horse hooves made Bog, who was fleeing, feel uneasy. The armor on his body became heavier, his steps were weak, and the loss of blood made him sweat all over. He concentrated his energy to listen to the sound of horse hooves. There was only one horse! And it was a light cavalry.

Bog hid behind the tree cunningly. When he heard the sound of horse hooves stop, he carefully took a peek.

Damn, it's actually a child? What is he looking for? Wearing that armor, is he trying to catch me? What a joke, there are countless children who died under his axe!

Bog showed a cruel smile. There were still five javelins in his javelin bag. It was easy to deal with a child. With a touch of cruelty in his eyes, he threw the javelin in his hand fiercely at the child's heart.

Just when Green thought he had gone to the wrong place, the sound of cutting through the air behind him startled Green and he suddenly fell on the horse's back.

"Ping Chi"

He suddenly felt a pain in his back. If he had been a moment later, his life would have been lost. Green looked at the tree from which the spear had come, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
