Throne of the North

The speed of the army of Count Weiss and the army of the nobles around Viscount Miles was as fast as the panic of these nobles.

Just as Ryan said, Viscount Miles could not bear the food pressure of 5,000 soldiers, and did not let the earl's army go to Lingdu City, but directly arrived at the edge of Baron Barnes's territory.

At this time, Ryan had just completed the initial construction of the defense line.

Riding a warhorse and standing at the forefront of the army, Artel Weiss was in high spirits and extremely angry.

"Charge! Capture that damn frozen earth baron to me, I want him to return the humiliation he has inflicted on me a hundredfold!"

With his order, on this flat land, a large number of slave soldiers began to rush forward with various weapons with "enchantments", but just after running a hundred meters, the slave soldiers at the front stepped on the air one by one and fell forward.

In the big pits, sharp wooden thorns pierced the bodies of these slaves, and blood and screams mixed in their mouths, making the slave soldiers who were originally shouting to charge extremely frightened, and their running steps stopped at this moment.

The slave soldiers looked at each other, and all hesitated to move forward.

The enemy in front was real, and the death of their fellow soldiers in front of them was also clearly visible. They didn't want to die, and even the count's slave soldiers couldn't change the chaos of discipline.

In the back, Atel looked angry.

"These damn slaves should all be hanged on the tree."

"Ash, let your soldiers move forward."

Behind Atel, a knight with secret patterns carved on his armor came out. He was tall, and even Atel, who was riding a warhorse, was only half a body taller than him.

At this moment, the knight covered with armor was waving a huge butcher knife, and the bloody smell of the butcher knife made Atel couldn't help but shrink his head.

The guards wearing leather armor began to move forward slowly, and the spears forced the slave soldiers in front to move forward.

Faced with the imminent death oppression, the slave soldiers could only push forward, layer by layer, and the slave soldiers in the front could only move forward.

Their speed was very slow, because they were afraid that there was a deep pit under their feet in front, and they would be pierced by wooden spikes if they fell into it.

But the speed of pushing in the back was getting faster and faster, and finally, someone in the front stepped on the air again.

"Ah!!!"

The screams made the surrounding slaves extremely chaotic, but the regular army in the back could not bear it.

"All of you charge, you damn guys, charge quickly!"

There were knights roaring, whipping the slaves, and the group of slave soldiers ran again.

The screams came one after another, and finally, after hundreds of pits were eliminated, the army finally walked on flat land.

It was just because of fear that they were still not charging fast.

And at this time, what was Ryan doing?

He looked at the army rushing towards him and counted in his mind.

"One hundred, two hundred, five hundred..."

Finally, he frowned.

"The number is wrong."

"There are only three or four thousand troops here at most. Where are the rest of the troops?"

Just after Ryan finished speaking, suddenly, behind them, there were cavalrymen galloping towards this side quickly.

Ryan's face changed drastically and he shouted loudly:

"Brand, kill him!"

The knight next to him just had time to draw his bow, but the knight's voice had already come out.

"My Lord, it's not good. An army appeared to our east and they are heading towards your castle!"

Bang!

The sharp arrow penetrated the armor, and the knight fell off the horse in an instant, covering his neck in fear.

"Ryan!"

Barnes roared and looked at Ryan, but the latter looked at him coldly.

"Barnes, now is a war, don't you understand the consequences of disturbing the morale of the army?"

Barnes stared at Ryan.

"I want to go back to support my castle."

"Barnes!"

Ryan was also angry, pointing at the thousands of troops in front.

"If we win this war, nothing will happen to the North Wind Flower, but if we lose, you will lose everything!"

"I won't lose everything, and Ryan, if the North Wind Flower is breached, I will become a sinner of the Barnes family, and I must go back to support."

Barnes also looked at Ryan angrily.

"If you hadn't said you wanted to come out to fight, we should have used the castle's advantages to resist the army, but what about now?"

"I shouldn't have listened to you and brought the army out."

After saying that, Barnes anxiously commanded his army to turn around and go back to support his castle.

This time, they brought out all the troops, and Barnes was terrified. He didn't know how long his castle could hold out.

Staring at Barnes's soldiers retreating, Ryan didn't say a word.

He could understand Barnes's nervousness about his fortress, but he didn't expect the other party to be so stupid.

The Flower of the North Wind was the oldest fortress in the North Wind Province. What did the word "old" mean? It meant that the castle had survived countless wars and still stood tall. How could it be easily conquered by a few thousand troops?

The main force of Earl Weiss's army is here, and there is no one in the Flower of the North Wind Castle. Those slaves, as well as the knights and attendants, call the civilians and slaves outside, and the castle will be safe.

But Barnes couldn't listen to what Ryan said.

"Brand!"

Ryan roared angrily, and Brand beside him put his fist on his chest.

"Lord Ryan."

"You lead the cavalry to slow them down, and the remaining infantry will follow me and retreat into the forest."

After Ryan finished speaking, he turned his horse and led the infantry towards the left. A few hundred meters away, there was a small dense forest. It was impossible to win a head-on fight. Most of his soldiers were slaves. It's just formed.

"Do your will."

Brand said, then asked.

"What about those traps?"

"It's no use, we'll defeat them in the forest."

After Ryan finished speaking, he glanced at the enemy troops who were already a hundred meters away, and then moved forward without looking back.

The quality and discipline of his army were still much better than those of Count Weiss's soldiers, and they did not lose their formation when they quickly ran towards the forest.

"Come on, rush on, don't let that Ryan get away!"

Attel glanced at Baron Barnes who was walking away, but still looked at Ryan's position angrily. He knew what Baron Barnes was going to do, but that was not his war. He just wanted to catch the frozen man. Baron of the Territory.

As the slave soldiers ran, several gullies blocked in front of them. These were dug by Lane to block the enemy's cavalry, but the enemy they faced this time had no cavalry.

Brand led an army of more than a hundred knights to continuously attack. Their appearance made the slave soldiers instinctively fearful, and some even hid in the ravines and did not dare to come out.

"Don't be held back!"

Brand yelled. He understood what the biggest weakness of these knights was, which was their arrogance, but their bodies were not strong enough to crush so many soldiers. Once one of these slaves was brave enough to trip up the war horse, then Even knights are killed by slaves.

But even with Brand's reminder, several knights still fell from their horses. Some slaves seized the opportunity to cut off the horse's legs. Then those fallen knights were swarmed and killed by the surrounding slaves. Only two of them were lucky. After forcing the surrounding soldiers to retreat, he was picked up by the knights coming from behind.

After taking a look at the distance, Ryan had led his army to retreat into the forest, and Brand immediately gave the order.

"Let's withdraw!"

There was no way, they only had more than a hundred people, but there were thousands of enemies in front of them. When they looked over, they saw a sea of ​​heads in front of them, and under the pressure of the soldiers holding spears in the rear, these slave soldiers had to fight They fought tooth and nail.

Rumble.

More than a hundred knights riding war horses quickly disappeared in front of the army. Their mobility meant that they had no natural enemies on the battlefield.

"Chase me!"

Atel was still roaring, and thousands of soldiers continued to chase towards the forest in confusion, and in the gaps in the dense forest, pairs of stern eyes were staring at them.
