Riding and Slashing

Chapter 418 What to Do Now

The north gate of Emperor Lingang.

Seeing that 'Eileen' came back with a large number of fully loaded carriages, the Maritine troops stationed at the city gate were very conscientious and planned to check the carriages.

But this inspection led to a tragedy...

Those dozens of carriages were not loaded with supplies, but Li Ang's guards, the Silver Hand led by Klose.

More than 200 strong men jumped out of the straw pile in the carriage carriage, and more than half of the hundreds of Malitin soldiers at the city gate were killed within a few breaths.

The remaining few who did not participate in the search also had their heads smashed with a short-handled hammer—the 'farmers' driving were all brilliant knights, and they played tricks with small hammers.

Of course, the soldiers of Malitin are indeed well-trained. Before all the soldiers burped, they successfully sent a signal for help to the Malitin soldiers on several other walls.

Malitin soldiers from several other military depots also rushed over to rescue them, but as soon as they ran near the north gate, they dared not move...

More than 200 strong and strong men stood guard under the north gate, and more people also came from the north, rushing into Emperor Lingang.

Just looking at the scale, there are at least more than 1000 people in the follow-up, and all of them are accompanied by horses.

These more than 1000 people are of course the wounded, unable to fight, and they can only be used as a burden in a real fight.

But the Malitians didn't know this—the wounded soldiers who had just entered the city were dressed neatly. If only from the appearance, the only difference from the Silver Hand was that they didn't have Mithril gauntlets...

And they brought horses...

Those horses indeed belonged to the Bacchus, and they were spoils that Leon had won from Agathon's troops.But the heavy infantry of the Freedom Legion can't ride a horse at all, and they are not suitable for riding a horse with injuries.

These war horses are now used as pack horses, carrying various equipment on their backs.

However, for the Malitians, this means that a thousand heavy cavalry came here...

For them, now that the north city gate of Emperor Lingang has fallen, they have lost their geographical advantage;
The fleet at the port has just been driven away by His Majesty Caspers for two hours, and there is no way to escape from the port, which means they are blocked in the city, and the enemy is 'cavalry' - they have no way to go now. where to escape;
The number of enemies is more than three times that of his own, and they all look tough, and the combat power is estimated to be extremely strong...

And this is the home field of the enemy...

This is obviously impossible to fight.

Besides, His Majesty Kaspers is not here, even if he fights to the death, His Majesty will not be able to see him—doesn’t that mean he died in vain?
Therefore, the only remaining 300 Malitin soldiers in the city chose to surrender wisely.

Emperor Lingang returned to Alina's hands again.

Afterwards, the Silver Hand stripped off all the captured Maritines, selected some brothers of suitable stature, put on the Malitines' equipment again, and left the city...

The Knights of the Glorious Cross began to organize civilians to stand guard on the city wall—the wounded soldiers brought a lot of equipment with their horses.

……

At noon the next day, Kaspers arrived in Serendil with his fleet.

It was actually very fast from the sea to Serendil, and the [-]-mile voyage only took more than ten hours.

But Kaspers wandered around Serendil for a long time, but he couldn't find any hair. Instead, he ran into the army he had sent from Emperor Lingang to the west.

After asking, I found out that these 1000 people searched for 'Li Ang' from Dilingang to the west, and they didn't meet anyone at all along the way.

cheated!
Kaspers' face was distorted with anger, and he asked the thousand men to return to the ship and rush to Dilingang.

In the middle of the night, Caspers finally returned to the port of Emperor Lingang.

He is still standing on the bow of the flagship—to be honest, this is a dangerous position, the general leader would not stand there, the bridge is much safer...

But this time, what Kaspers saw was no longer an empty city.

"Ugh...uuuuuuuu..."

Just as Kaspers' fleet sailed into the port again, the horn of the enemy's attack sounded from the top of the city.

At the same time, a large number of torches were lit on the city wall, and the flames outlined the whole city into a golden mountain. At this moment, the whole Emperor Lingang was like daytime.

Under the torch, there are densely packed soldiers...uncountable soldiers.

All kinds of weapons gleamed under the firelight.

And on the pier, there were hundreds of carts lined up—all overturned, forming a car wall, blocking all the disembarkation space.

Behind the carriage, several rows of spears were waiting there quietly.

A battle flag was slowly raised to the guard tower of the city wall—it was the flag of Emperor Marius.

The fleet became silent at this moment, and the battleship was still slowly moving forward, less than 200 meters away from the pier.

The city wall is condescending, and more than 200 meters is already the effective range of the heavy crossbow.

Arina stood under the battle flag in military uniform, and asked Loris beside her to greet Kaspers with a crossbow.

Knight Commander Loris's shooting skills are actually pretty good, but he didn't shoot Kaspers, but deliberately shot at the battleship's figurehead—that is, the sculpture on the bow.

Kavala is carved on the bow.

Loris just shot the woodcarving in the head.

Kaspers was standing at the bow of the ship, of course he saw the arrow, and also saw Alina standing under the battle flag.

After being stunned for half a second, Caspers snatched the shield from a Malitin soldier beside him, and then ordered loudly: "Stop the boat! Anchor! Don't come any closer!"

Then, he cautiously retracted his body into the shield, and slowly retreated into the bridge.

"Your Majesty, we'd better get out of here quickly..."

Inside the bridge, Lieutenant Leo frowned and made a suggestion—there seemed to be at least five or six thousand people on the city wall, which is still a hair...

All the Malitin soldiers also looked like they didn't want to die.

Kaspers was also a little shocked. He never expected that in just one day, how could there be so many troops in Emperor Lingang? !

He even wondered if this was some kind of hallucination...

"Alina...you liar!! Liar!!"

Casper stared at Alina's figure through the porthole, roaring hysterically.

But Alina would definitely not be able to hear the roar from the bridge on the city wall.

However, Alina was still waving at Kaspers' flagship... She could imagine what Kaspers would look like now.

"Knight Commander Loris, shoot another arrow and shoot this letter to him."

Arina took out a crossbow arrow with a scroll tied on the shaft and handed it to Loris.

'Xiu...'

The arrow still didn't hurt anyone, because it was a loud arrow, and it was only used to whistle to convey signals.

"Your Majesty, a letter has been sent from the city..."

The adjutant Leo tremblingly left the cover of the bridge, went to the bow and retrieved the rattling arrow.

"Read!"

Kaspers' eyes were already bloodshot, and he had been staring at Alina fiercely, seeing the sounding arrow being shot the whole time.

"Your Majesty Kaspers, who came all the way: Unfortunately, your great cause of conquering the Pendor Continent may come to an early end. I don't want to be your enemy, but I also don't want to fight with the emperor of Maritim, Amaurian. Your Majesty is an enemy. You should understand what a young, powerful, and victorious 'Deputy Emperor' means to His Majesty Amaurian. If you have not become the sole master of the Maritine Empire, you will never be able to Victory on other continents. I think, have I said enough? - Alina Justus."

As Leo read the letter, he glanced at Kaspers' expression.

Fortunately, Caspers calmly listened to everything.

He rarely got angry, but frowned and asked his adjutant: "Leo, do you think we should go back to Maritim?"

Leo shook his head, put down the note and took two steps back: "Your Majesty, everyone knows the emperor's intentions... You have fought all these years and eradicated all the enemies for the emperor, but... when there are no enemies At that time, you were the last enemy of His Majesty the Emperor...but in any case, you are the one who makes the decision, and we obey all your orders."

"Perhaps you're right...but I can't leave the two thousand soldiers I've sent out!"

Kaspers closed his eyes and gritted his teeth: "Tell the fleet to retreat a little, get out of their range, and drop a deep anchor...I'm going to sleep..."

After finishing speaking, he left the helpless adjutant, turned around and entered the cabin.

Leo sighed helplessly. He is Kaspers' personal entourage and the person who knows His Majesty best.He knew that Kaspers would go to sleep whenever he encountered a problem, and usually would wake up soon, and every time he woke up, he would kill enemies like a demon until he won.

Leo felt that His Majesty might be a little bit schizophrenic.

Of course, this can actually be regarded as 'not chaotic in the face of danger', the demeanor of a famous general...

But unfortunately, Caspers slept from night to noon.

This is already the third day since Kaspers came to Pendor Continent.

When Leo, who couldn't wait for his Majesty, went to the cabin to find someone, what he saw was Kaspers crouching in the corner with eyes full of panic...

Holding his knees, his face was pale, like a lovely and pitiful child.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Are you having a nightmare?"

After following His Majesty Caspers for more than ten years, this is the first time Leo saw Caspers like this.

"No... I didn't dream... I didn't even dream..."

Kaspers murmured, tears rolling in his eyes: "I seem... to be abandoned by His Majesty Kavala..."

Leo knew that Kaspers admired Kavala, but he didn't quite understand what it means to be abandoned by Kavala?
You should have been abandoned by Alina...

But Leo dared not speak directly.

Although Kaspers is usually nice to his subordinates, if he despises Kavala, he will definitely be killed by Kaspers.

But now Kaspers' state is obviously difficult to communicate, so Leo can only use practical actions to comfort him-he did not wait for Kaspers' order, but directly ordered the withdrawal of troops to Serendil again.

In fact, the adjutant's choice was correct, at least he should leave the 'dangerous zone' of Emperor Lingang first.

Although those abandoned fishing ports in Serendil are not suitable for warships to berth, it is a good choice to stay there and wait for the two thousand troops that were sent out before.

However, whether you can get it or not depends on luck.

The Maritine fleet has left again...

Emperor Lingang cheered up and down.

In fact, there are currently only more than 200 soldiers in Dilingang, and more than 100 of them are recruits in the militia.

The densely packed 'soldiers' on the city wall were all dressed as civilians.

Anyway, wearing armor and taking weapons, no one can see it from a distance.

Of course, such pure civilians have no fighting power, and most of them would scream if they saw blood...

But it can be used to scare people, at least Kaspers' fleet was indeed scared back.

You really don't need to fight to win, the only skirmish is when the Silver Hand took over 100 Maliti soldiers when they took the city gate, and it was mainly because the enemy was too cooperative - if those Maliti soldiers didn't plan to check the carriages, Then even this skirmish would never happen.

The only price was that Alina didn't sleep for three days and three nights - from Kavala to Kaspers, after a series of things, Alina couldn't get any rest.

Although she usually slept very little, she really couldn't bear it if she didn't sleep for three consecutive days.

On the contrary, Li Ang rested well, and the wounds on his body were scabbed over.

Li Ang is currently also in Dilingang, he didn't go far at all, he just waited outside Dilingang for a day and then came back with the wounded soldiers - he couldn't run far with his injuries.

After Kaspers' fleet left, Alina prepared everything, and when she returned to the Governor's Mansion, it was already dark again.

Alina, who hadn't closed her eyes for three days and three nights, naturally wanted to catch up on dozing off, so she plunged into the bedroom of the Governor's Mansion, and fell unconscious as soon as she hugged the quilt—truly fell asleep in a second.

……

early morning.

A bedroom in Emperor Lingang Governor's Mansion.

"what!"

It's a soprano.

"what!!"

It's a tenor voice.

"Come..." "Come..."

This is the same subconscious reaction of both men and women.

"Hush..." "Shh..."

This is also the same subconscious reaction of the two, they both changed their mouths halfway through the 'come' call, and covered each other's mouths - even the movements were the same.

Then, there was silence for several minutes.

"You...why are you here?"

Alina lowered her voice and pulled the quilt over her chest.

"I still want to ask you... I didn't find anyone in this room when I was sleeping last night! And... This is my room! My room, understand! When did you touch it?!"

Li Ang also lowered his voice, and dragged the other corner of the quilt over, probably trying to cover his chest too... But Alina held on tightly, and he failed.

"Uh... Let me think about it... So... I went to the wrong door?"

Alina glanced left and right, and found that this really seemed to be Li Ang's room...

She lifted the quilt and took a look, then let out a sigh of relief, smiled a little awkwardly, and then threw the quilt to Li Ang.

The skirt on Alina's body was still there, although because of her disheveled sleeping position, the hem of the skirt had reached her thighs, and her chest was also drawn obliquely—a little bit of it was gone, but at least it wasn't naked.

Li Ang now understood what was going on.

After he returned to Emperor Lingang, Klose took the silver hand and replaced it with the Malitin equipment and left the city.In other words, his guards were preparing to ambush the enemy in Serendil, but they didn't stand guard in front of his bedroom—so Alina was so tired that she went to the wrong room in the middle of the night and was left unattended.

"Hey, you're still laughing! What now?!"

Li Ang grabbed the quilt and covered his chest, shrank into the corner of the bed and asked.

"What should I do? Since nothing happened, then of course nothing happened..."

Alina said confidently.

"I mean how do we get out? See if there is anyone outside..."

Li Ang was a little flustered, even more panicked than he was when he faced the enemy's large army. If someone saw this, he would really be unable to wash it away even if he jumped into the endless sea.

Don't look at Wendy who usually looks like a little bird, but if this happens, I'm afraid she will have to use a sword to heal people with abundant martial arts -- and Li Ang can't beat her...

"Your Majesty Li Ang, you... hiss... I didn't see it, I didn't see anything..."

I really came here for whatever I wanted, and I was wondering if there was anyone outside, and here I was, and I just opened the door to come in—this is the doctor who treated Li Ang's injuries, and came to change Li Ang's medicine.

The doctor of the Knights of the Glorious Cross came to treat him every day during this period, and Li Ang had already disappeared. Hearing 'come' inside, of course he went in directly.

It's just that today, the doctor just brought Knight Commander Loris with him...

Loris actually just came to say hello, but he didn't expect to see Li Ang and Alina on the bed!
Besides, Li Ang didn't wear any clothes, and Alina's clothes were disheveled...

The doctor was very calm, he covered his eyes and turned around and closed the door behind him.

And Loris' eyes widened, lying on the crack of the door and still peeping - that style was quite similar to Klose.
