Dominate the Game of Thrones with Mount and Blade

Chapter 16 No Soldier Can Die

"Your pace is still a little problematic, which is very disadvantageous on the battlefield."

When both of them were exhausted and slowed down their movements, Hans Darry suddenly said so.

Arthur was happy. Why did everyone want to educate him?

The last person who pointed out his problem was still tied up in his castle.

"So what? As long as I am strong enough, what opponent can take my sword? What's the use of flexible footwork then?"

Hans took a step back and said to Arthur while dancing with his sword to fight back: "You are not the Mountain. After all, your strength will not increase infinitely. Young man should be more humble and listen to the experience of the elders."

Arthur wanted to refute, but held back.

Should I tell this middle-aged man that his strength can really increase infinitely?

Let him remain ignorant.

"Ah, yes, yes, you are right."

Hans thought he listened to his advice and had a better impression of the young man.

He was in the castle just now, and he didn't know why Arthur came, nor why the fight started.

If it was just to cheer up the Brackens, Vance, and Piper sitting in the seats, then he felt that he had to advise Earl Janos on how ridiculous Hendry was.

It was just as absurd as King Robert who held a tournament or a large-scale hunt all day.

So he asked, "Why did you fight this fight?"

"To get Hendry to send troops, because he promised to give me 500 soldiers if I won three games." Arthur answered with a strong chop.

If the two were not fighting, this conversation would still be very harmonious.

"Why send troops?" Hans continued to ask.

"Because the Blackwood family sent troops to surround my castle and bully my people." Arthur changed the way he said it.

As for the kidnapping of Earl Tytos Blackwood's eldest son, he chose to ignore it.

"You sound like a good lord."

Arthur was very satisfied with the praise, "Yes, I am fighting for my people."

Hans quickly stepped back two steps and temporarily left the battle, "It sounds like I have stopped the reasonable demands of a righteous lord?"

"Ah, yes, yes." Arthur did not pursue and took the opportunity to rest.

After all, it is still very tiring to swing a big sword to chop.

The two stood with their swords, staring at each other.

In the audience, people who did not know what was going on quieted down, thinking that this was the quiet time before the decisive battle.

It was like the darkest moment before dawn.

Thinking that Hans was accumulating strength to prepare for a big chop, Arthur also secretly became nervous.

After all, a warrior with top strength and skills is not so easy to deal with.

Just when Arthur raised his sword again, Mr. Hans suddenly said:

"I can't fight anymore, I surrender."

When the people outside the field heard this, they looked at each other and did not react.

Even the military officer referee was stunned.

But soon, it became lively.

Both the small nobles and the knights took the moral high ground and launched a fierce attack on Hans Darry.

Most of them thought that this was a trick.

Some people even cursed and seemed to have lost a lot.

Mark Piper was confused. He was just getting excited when the battle suddenly ended.

Hendry did not expect such a situation. Although he won a lot of money as a banker, the idea of ​​not wanting to send troops was still disturbing his thinking.

Caryl Vance was a little relieved that the three of them were the same.

Arthur was even more confused. He put down his sword awkwardly and watched Hans put away his sword and left.

He didn't know what the middle-aged knight meant?

After a long period of chaos, Hendry announced that Arthur had won and added a condition for sending troops:

"As you can see, Mr. Hans did not use all his strength, that is, Arthur did not win completely. Although this is not in accordance with the agreement, I am still prepared to send 500 soldiers to help Sir Arthur."

"But I have one condition. None of these 500 soldiers can die. If there are any injured, the compensation and medical treatment should be borne by Sir Arthur Bracken and his family."

Hendry's speech has an extremely obvious aristocratic style. It seems that Arthur has breached the contract, and he continues to abide by his promise regardless of the loss.

Arthur thought about it and felt that he could accept it, but there was one thing he had to ask clearly to avoid future disputes.

"What if the soldiers died in the battle?"

Hendry said without hesitation: "That's easy. One soldier will compensate my family with 100 gold dragons."

Arthur was a little confused. "The ransom of a small noble is only 300 gold dragons. You want 100 gold dragons for one soldier. This is too much!"

"If you don't like it, you can leave." Hendry was unmoved.

How could Arthur give up when the lifeline was right in front of him?

"How could I dislike it? Then do as you say. When will the troops be dispatched? Who will lead the troops?"

As one of the top four forces in the riverlands, the main family of Bracken has about 3,500 standing troops, and there are about a thousand people near Stonehedge City.

"If you want, set off now. Three hundred people will be mobilized near Stonehedge City, and the rest will be recruited along the way. As for the commander, I will appoint Knight Andrew Bracken, and you, Arthur, will also obey his orders when the time comes."

Because he won a lot of money thanks to Arthur, nearly a thousand gold dragons, Hendry did not make it difficult for Arthur on the issue of sending troops.

There are still some Bu family soldiers stationed along the route to the north, and they can be recruited by the order of Stone Fence City on the way north.

Arthur was quite satisfied with this arrangement.

Without further ado, after thanking Hendry and Earl Janos, he and Andrew left the martial arts field and went to the barracks.

The two soldiers who came with him also followed him.

Andrew, with a round face and beard, of medium height, is a descendant of the branch of the main family of Bracken and has been trained according to the standards of senior officers.

In terms of status, Andrew is definitely not as good as Arthur, a minor noble, but in terms of actual power, Arthur is still not as good as him.

Two life paths, I don’t know who is better or worse.

“Sir, why don’t you take a rest first? I think you are already very tired.”

Andrew also watched these three battles and recognized Arthur’s strength very much, with a little compliment in his tone.

“No, I can rest soon. My people are still being bullied, and it’s nothing for me to be tired.”

Arthur pretended to be righteous and said.

Andrew stood in awe.

"It's still a while before afternoon. If we set off right away, we can reach the vicinity of the River Road before it gets completely dark."

The River Road is a road that runs from west to east through the riverlands on the south bank of the Red Fork River. It is one of the five roads built during the reign of "Arbiter" Jaehaerys.

Once there, it's not far from the Red Fork River.

Arthur nodded in agreement.

"In addition, we can send cavalry to notify the soldiers along the road who have been recruited in advance, which can save a little time." Andrew proposed again.

"You are a professional commander, and you can arrange everything."

Arthur was very satisfied with Andrew, and turned to consider how to sell Brynden Blackwood for a good price.
