575 A woman from a foreign continent (6)

"Ever seen this?"

The fat man waved his hand proudly, and took out a short cavalry crossbow from the crotch of his war horse, which made the eyes of Crimson Rui, who was holding his arm next to him, light up. The crossbow body was smooth and rounded by hand sanding, and it was vaguely recognizable. In order to cast a shadow of a person, the war horse's weapon slot is equipped with a leather quiver on the side, with ten short crossbow arrows with white feathers inserted on each side. The Mitsubishi arrowheads are made of fine iron. It is cold in the sun, giving people a biting cold feeling. Feel,

"This is? The latest cavalry assault crossbow equipped by the Vikia Cavalry."

Scarlet Rui stared straight at the short crossbow in the fat man's hand. She took a deep breath of cold air and her face turned crimson. She was completely excited. Her eyes were bright and shining. She was an expert in weapons. She could spot this cavalry weapon at a glance. The cleverness of the assault crossbow is that the short crossbow body reduces the weight and is more suitable for cavalry to control the horse with one hand, while the other hand can calmly shoot the target on the horse.

The military cavalry crossbow of the Samor Guards is a symbol of the powerful strength and glorious status of the Vecian army. With the strong rise of Vecia in the southwest of the continent, the reputation of the Vecian Guards Cavalry is becoming more and more popular.

It is said that these sturdy light cavalry are no less powerful than the elite knights of Ruidian. They are like the sharp claws of falcons tearing prey into pieces. Wherever they appear, it is the moment when the entire battle situation is reversed.

They are the witnesses and implementers of the legendary rise of the Falcon. They are the sharpest claws of the Southwest Falcon. The sharp swords in their hands can easily split the heavy armor of knights. The short and powerful assault crossbows in their hands can allow them to fight against each other. When attacking the opponent's cavalry, you are always at the commanding heights of maneuver.

Together with the lance thrusts of the Ridian knights, the shield wall of the senior Nord warriors in the south, and the whirlwind killing of the Kugit Royal Court cavalry in the north of the continent, they are listed as one of the top arms of the Ikadiva continent. The worthy light-armored ace cavalry,

As the world-famous legendary weapon of the Vecian cavalry, the cavalry assault crossbow is a treasure that many mainland generals are extremely eager to see.

The era when the Kugits were world-famous with their mounted archery has been broken by the emergence of this new weapon. Even the always tough Kugit Rangers are absolutely unwilling to encounter a team in the wilderness. Vecian cavalry equipped with cavalry assault crossbows,

The shooting accuracy of the cavalry crossbow is more stable than the bows of the Kugits, and the range is not inferior to that of the ordinary cavalry compound bow. If both sides find each other at the same time, the assault crossbow of the Vekia cavalry can kill the first one they encounter. The enemy on the opposite side will be shot all over the ground. Even if you cannot compete head-on, you can still retreat while fighting to continuously weaken the opponent's strength.

It is said that there are more than 5,000 such cavalry crossbows in Wikiia, but only the most trusted warriors of Wikiia Falcon are eligible to own them. To be able to see them here is completely beyond Crimson Rui's expectation.

"Can I touch it?" Crimson Rui boldly stretched out her hand, her eyes full of longing.

"Of course. If this is not an assault crossbow for cavalry, why not give it to you?" The fat man smiled and handed the cavalry crossbow to Crimson Rui without any care.

"Oh... come on, you are also a stingy person." Crimson Red Rui took the assault crossbow, pretending to be angry and pouting, her small and playful nose was slightly raised, looking more and more wild.

"Haha, don't hide it from me. I know you are not good at riding horses." The fat man defended with a smile. "Your legs are very straight and beautiful. If you are a person who has been riding horses for many years, your legs will be more or less perfect." There is an inward curvature, but you don't. This means that you are not a female knight. Then there is only one possibility. You should be a warrior. This cavalry assault crossbow is not suitable for you. I also have a heavy-duty one in my collection. An infantryman with a crossbow, that’s what’s best for you.”

"Don't lie to me." Crimson Rui turned her head, her delicate fingers slid along the front of the assault crossbow, and the tight and straight black bowstring gently slid across. Her eyes shone with desire, and that kind of pious look was like Worshiping the idol in my heart,

"Creak"

The tight bow string was slowly pulled apart by Crimson Rui with two fingers. The black beef tendons that were tightly winched together shone with a dark luster, and finally formed a half-moon shape, making a crunching sound at the front end of the crossbow.

Loosening your fingers, the bowstring turned into an almost invisible shadow, sending out a trembling shadow, like a sharp blade, cutting open the air in front of you, making a tearing sound.

“So strong”

Crimson Rui's face changed slightly, and she secretly praised in her heart. With her magical power, she felt a difficulty when she pulled the bow string just now. But if she puts a specially made light and sharp arrow cluster on it, once it is shot, it will probably even thick knight Heavy armor is also extremely difficult to withstand. Its killing blow at close range is equipped in the hands of elite light cavalry that are as fast as the wind and can advance and retreat. It can be said that it is extremely suitable for light cavalry to be used in assault operations. It directly kills the light cavalry. Combat power more than doubled

"With the help of such powerful weapons, it's no wonder that the Vecian Guards Cavalry is able to intimidate the north."

Crimson Rui said slowly, then suddenly turned his head and stared at the fat man curiously for a while before hesitating and said, "Military cavalry crossbows are rarely deployed weapons in the Wikiya army. They are not only cumbersome to manufacture, but also extremely strictly controlled." Seriously, only a few personal guards of the Vekia Falcon are qualified to possess this kind of weapon. How did you get this one?

"Vekia Falcon was given to me as a gift," the fat man responded seriously.

"Lord Lord"

At this moment, a guard cavalry from the castle came. Before he reached Tinma, he quickly turned over, ran over and half-knelt down in front of the fat man and said, "Your Majesty, the Northern Commander-in-Chief, Jehardo, has arrived in the city." Instructor Waipalskina asked the adults and Miss Nile to greet her at the city gate.

"Is Jehardo here?" The fat man's face turned cold, his gaze became straight, and he asked again, "Besides him, who else is there? I remember that he came to the north this time with a son. Is he there too? inside?"

"No, there is no one else except the thirty Mamunuk knights who are guarding me."

The guard responded half-kneeling. This answer made the fat man's face become more and more gloomy. He could feel that his opponent this time was a little different from before.

On the outskirts of Vic Castle, which is built against the mountain, Fatty specially built a row of magnificent arrow forts according to the mountain. Built against the mountain, the tall and thick city wall stretches along the mountain, forming a wide and thick city wall. A man-made barrier will completely isolate the entrance to the open space from the south,

If you want to attack forcefully, this open area will become a place of death. Both sides of Arrow Castle are steep and dangerous boulder cliffs.

The fat man asked Mao Monaqing to accompany Scarlet Rui back to the main castle in the city, and then joined Nilai who had arrived to go to the city gate. The sky instructor Parskina was already waiting there. The fat man quickly dismounted and saluted, and then saw a group of people on their bodies. The fully armored Mamunuk knight galloped down the opposite hillside, kicking up a puff of choking smoke.

On the fluttering flag, there is a golden shield embroidered, and inside the shield is embroidered a white eagle, which is the flag of the Northern Commander-in-Chief Jhardo. The leader is a middle-aged general with a Chinese character face, wearing a gorgeous golden uniform. Armor, the horse is wearing a red waistcoat, looking majestic.

Behind him were more than a dozen Mamunuk knights, with cyan shields embroidered on their shoulders.

"It's the Blue Shield Corps." Fatty heard a solemn whisper from Ni Lai next to him.

"What is the Blue Shield Corps?" The fat man turned his head curiously and asked.

Nilai's expression changed as she stared at these marks, and she whispered in Fatty's ear, "His Majesty the King has a total of 7 such legions, each of which is assigned a color of the rainbow for the exclusive use of all signs and flags." Color. There are 7 corps, the most famous are red, orange, yellow, and green, and the other three corps are in the color sequence of green, blue, and purple.

Seeing the disapproving look on the fat man's face, Nilai paused and said in an emphasis

"These Mamunuk Cavalry Regiments belonging to His Majesty the Kingdom are not comparable to those ordinary Mamunuk Knights. They are all regular soldiers. They not only have loyalty to His Majesty in the past, but also have extremely good martial arts and military discipline. He is also very strict, unlike those motley crew who will panic when encountering difficulties."

"Marquis of Wicktonsee, this may be your last chance."

At this time, Sky Instructor Palstina, who was standing in front, also turned her head and said softly, "You have also seen that the most elite corps dispatched by the kingdom this time will be able to provide the safest help to the north. They will lead the way." We come here with a sincere heart and are willing to do our best for our country. Dedicate everything they have, even their young and noble lives, so I believe that you can cut off all ties with the Vecians, freeze all their property in Vic City, and truly surrender to His Majesty's authority. I believe that these noble The Mamunuk Knight will definitely forgive you."

The fat man listened quietly to Sky Mentor Parstina's words, and then said softly, "Teacher, I think these knight matters should not be within the scope of discussion between you and me during the Winter Veil Festival."

Sky Instructor Palstina shook her head a little disappointedly, as if she had expected such a result, and said in a stiff tone

"I'm not blind. Although I don't know how powerful you are in the north, I definitely don't think you can compete with Kyoto. People always make mistakes. In the past, due to our carelessness, we have done some wrong things. We don’t have the chance to make corrections. I believe His Majesty will forgive you for your temporary confusion.”

The fat man sneered at the corner of his mouth and said slightly deeply, "Some mistakes are irreparable. Besides, it's too late now."

After a pause, the fat man continued without waiting for Sky Instructor Palstina to speak.

"If Kyoto can protect us, how come our Vic family was killed by the Normans in the last war? Where was Kyoto at that time? If Kyoto can be trusted, why do all the Kyotos just mention our north? People will show contempt. And why do you think that we are sorry for Kyoto in the first place? Is it just because Kyoto has sent away the northern lords like beggars countless times? "

"Shut up"

Sky Instructor Palstina's face was livid, her pretty eyes stared at the fat man, and then dimmed again. Of course she knew that the fat man would not give in so easily, so she gently raised her beautiful eyebrows and said slowly, " No matter what happened in the past, now, only Kyoto can save the north. Unless you really want to be bloody suppressed, that would be terrible."

"If the dignity of the North is placed on a balance with my humble life, I choose the dignity of the North." The fat man said slowly and calmly, "Dear mentor, tell the truth, if we hadn't offended the nobles of Kyoto, Your Majesty, will you come to the north to host the Winter Veil Festival? "

. . . . . . .

There was a slight blush on the face of Sky Instructor Palskina, who was as smooth as a plate and as white as melon seeds. It was an implicit expression of anger and helplessness in her heart. The faint blush added to her beauty and charm.

Her red lips opened, but no sound came out in the end. Yes, she knew that the fat man was right. If the north was not getting stronger and stronger, even making Kyoto feel threatened, wouldn't she, the highest-level sky priest, be able to do it? Maybe he came to this wild area in the north to host the Winter Veil Festival.

The fat man shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said calmly, "Only when you are strong can you be truly strong. This is what the North has earned through hundreds of years of humiliation."

Sky Master Parstina saw her most beloved disciple leaning against the fat man with a proud look on her face. She knew that nothing she could say was of any use, so she could only sigh.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves became heavier and heavier, and the cavalry on the hillside rushed over in an instant and lined up in front of the gate.

At the front is a middle-aged knight who is about fifty years old. He is short, stocky and has a dignified appearance. The Mamunuk knights behind him all have arrogant expressions and do not look friendly at all.

The middle-aged general's chest was covered with badges, letting people know that his identity must be of great importance. He looked at the fat man carefully for a while with his scorching eyes, and then moved to the sky to worship Parstina's face. He placed his right hand on his chest. He first saluted the Sky Priest Parscina, and then said loudly, "Dear Sky Priest, Jehardo salutes you."

After giving the salute, the Northern Commander-in-Chief raised his head arrogantly and looked at the fat man carefully, without any intention of saying hello.

"Haha, what a big arrogance." The fat man's face became very ugly. The Northern Commander-in-Chief smelled too much of gunpowder. He deliberately only saluted Parstina, but omitted himself and Nilai, who had the same status. The arrogance here is too obvious

Parstina felt the heated atmosphere among the few people and quickly introduced, "Lord Jha, this is the Marquis of Victonsee who killed Avize the Goshawk. Next to him, the Duchess Niya, You should have seen it too.”

"Duke Nile?" Jehardo showed a trace of disdain on his lips and said with a smile, "This must be the daughter of Grand Duke Lhasa. The little girl with a runny nose next to Lhasa has now grown so beautiful that time has passed. "Human"

Parstina's face changed. She didn't expect that the meeting between the two parties would be such a heated scene. One was a representative of the kingdom's power, and the other was her most beloved disciple. She originally wanted to adopt a gentle policy and gradually change her disciple. attitude, but the northern commander clearly showed that he did not regard Niya as a northern force with the same status as him.

At this time, on the left side of Jajardo, a young Mamunuike with blond hair took his eyes back from Niya, looked at Parstina who looked dissatisfied, and said

"Dear Sky Priest, you don't know. Salander is currently in a non-tide period. In order to encourage the morale of the soldiers to the greatest extent, Kyoto is preparing to abolish the old inheritance system and replace it with rewards based on military merits. Whoever has the most military exploits will be rewarded. , who can inherit the vacancy of the lord, so whether this Miss Niya is a duchess will be decided by Kyoto. "

"Why don't I know? When we left Kyoto, His Majesty personally promised that I would take the lead in matters in the north." Parstina's face turned pale and she said angrily,

Parstina asked, and Gajardo had to stand up and answer in person.

"This is a new decision made by Kyoto recently, and we are about to inform the priest. Moreover, His Majesty the King has also ordered that the Mamunuk knighthoods owned by those useless southerners should be taken back, because they can't even defend their territory. His Majesty the King despises the trash who lives in them the most. They will serve as laborers in Kyoto and perform heavy labor to atone for their sins."

"What"

Parstina's body trembled slightly. Her family is a southern noble. Thinking of her old father and many young tribesmen, just like the child soldiers she saw captured in Hutubei'en, she had to pick up the Weapons to fight, crystal clear tears rolled down from the corners of her beautiful eyes,

The air was depressingly terrifying, with only the long wind blowing through the arrow tower blowing...

Next to her, the silver-haired Yesug, who had not yet recovered, suddenly knelt on the ground with a pale face. Poof, a mouthful of thick blood spurted out from his mouth, and he fell to the ground.

"Touchou"

The subordinates next to him suddenly became confused. They hurriedly lifted Yesug and beat their chests and backs. After working for a while, they saw Yesuge slowly opening his eyes. They no longer looked as cheerful as before, but looked ashen. Despair filled his pupils

"For a Mamunuk knight who was defeated in a duel, it is a good grace that he did not let you commit suicide." Jajardo sneered at the corner of his mouth, "Marquis of Victonsee, do you know what His Majesty the King's order is? From this moment on, the city of Vic and the Lazar territory of Nilai will be directly under the direct management of the king."

"Jajardo suddenly took out a golden scroll from his waist and shouted to the Mamunuk knights who had been arranged behind him, "Come here, arrest these traitors immediately. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed." "

"don't want"

Parstina stretched out her hands to stop her, but was pushed away violently by a Mamunuk knight.

Her face was as pale as a piece of paper. She felt that she had been completely betrayed. Now she was like a clown, caught between Kyoto and the north. If the inheritance system was changed in this way, there would be a major change in the power structure between the north and the south. Imagine what would happen if a northerner was sent to govern the southern city of Vic.

Niya's face was as cold as water at this moment, and she said nothing. Gerhardo's words shattered the last fantasy of peace in her heart. ..
