Ride and Cut

In the temporarily expropriated residence of the mayor of Chaksh, Baron Cape, the commander of the Griffin Ambitious Legion, was swallowing a glass of locally brewed cider, trying to relieve the endless migraine.

He has been unable to count the number of days before the declaration of war on Pompeii, but it has been a long time anyway. It’s been a long time to train dogs to pierce the fire ring, but every senior Stuart officer knows that the upper-level command in the country is still a mess. This is a more decent way of saying. In private, it is mostly described as "a lump of shit".

It is well known that Stuart’s single legion is too small to be able to undertake the functions of the campaign alone, so it must be temporarily organized according to the upper order before the war.

Baron Capet received the military order two months ago, and his legion joined the royal guard nearby. This is the most reasonable grouping, and Capet has already been mentally prepared, and he will be in place soon.

Fifteen days ago, another order was received, this time from His Majesty King Belluni, who asked Griffin to transfer his ambition to Winter City. Although there was unavoidable complaint in my heart, after ten days of marching, the regiment commander once again led his troops in position.

The terrible problem is that-three days ago, Capet received another transfer order, still from His Majesty Belluni, to return them to the royal capital!

As soon as I had not had time to settle down in Winterfell, and the local specialty blue cheese hadn't eaten enough, Griffin had to wave goodbye to his new comrades on the road again. This time, it was not as calm as the previous two. Pompeii's army had already been dispatched, and it happened to be halfway down the road.

After a series of outposts were played, the regiment's associated scouts basically announced the reimbursement, and Capet already understood that the opponent's light cavalry was extremely high. His Griffin ambition is mainly infantry. If he wants to withdraw, he will be chased by the cavalry.

So he had to lead his men into the small town of Chakshi, seeking opportunities to defend the city.

The worse problem now is that it has not had time to connect with the new one without having time to break away from the old system. Capet didn't even know who his boss was besides the military department and His Majesty. I don't know how the surrounding friendly forces are arranged, and I don't know where to go for help now!

This confusion is not without reason.

Capet reached out and picked up a few slices of ham and swallowed them with the liquor.

Even the common people have always known that their monarch Belluni is not very interested in government affairs, and prefers to spend time and wine in his palace and conduct some longevity witchcraft research that has been denounced by the Magic Association as baseless.

Therefore, Stuart's government affairs in recent years have mainly been resolved by the formation of a cabinet by several ministers. Originally, it has been running smoothly, at least not that there will be too many problems, and some even think that this is a better way than the emperor's monopoly.

But from a few months ago, His Majesty Belluni suddenly returned as a king and began to intervene in government affairs very strongly.

If His Majesty Belluni has since become a diligent and good king, it would not be a good talk. But the truth is often cruel, and soon everyone realizes that he is purely fooling around!

For him, the so-called government affairs are more like a new adjustment after getting tired of spending time and drinking. Pompeii has developed far better than Stuart in recent years. This is a well-known fact. However, His Majesty Belluni insisted on disregarding everyone's opposition and forcibly declared war on Pompeii in the name of the court, causing the only full-scale war between the three powers in the past 100 years.

After that, it was like playing chess, commanding the movement of the army at will, which was nothing in comparison.

As far as Cape knows, some people have begun to secretly call Belluni the "Mad King", just like the rebellious Nero.

"What's the situation?" He toasted and drank the rest of the wine, then grabbed the bottle like venting and refilled it.

"Pompeii Barbarians are coming up." Surrounding Capet, are the best and most heroic knights in the entire army. In the face of the upcoming battle, their faces are fearless, and all of them have a straight back.

"Go, let's go and see." Capet threw the wine glass to the floor and broke into pieces, buckled on his helmet and led the knights to the observation post behind the wall.

Chakshi is surrounded by extremely wide and flat fields. After the crops are harvested, there is almost no cover, and the entire line of sight can be said to be unobstructed.

The opponent is making the final preparations before the attack. A team of light cavalry and centaur whistles, throwing arrows to the wall back and forth. There are also quite a few archers, under the command of the officers, shooting waves of arrows soaring into the sky, reaching the apex and then falling suddenly after a while.

Capet suddenly drew his sword and slashed it at lightning speed, easily knocking the oncoming arrows away. Before the others could react, the long sword had already been re-sheathed, and the martial arts was obviously extremely exquisite.

"It's actually three big arrows." He bent down to pick up the arrow shaft that fell on his feet, and a cut mark was clearly visible in the middle.

It's obviously longer than a normal arrow, and it's extra heavier in the hand. Judging from the blocking feel, the strength is very good, and the distance is a little closer, and ordinary iron armor can't hold this kind of heavy arrows.

A dozen of the bravest sergeants ran over with shields and built a shield wall in front of the adults.

The opponent's archers are not mediocre, and it doesn't take advantage of the ambition to shoot against the Griffon. But those rangers are very powerful, almost biting their horses and shooting. Especially the few centaur inside, with a purple jersey longbow in their hands. The power and accuracy are terrifying. Once hit, they can directly take people off the wall~www.readwn.com~ Their performance makes Capet became more certain that his previous choice of defense on the spot was completely correct. Rangers of this quantity and quality are absolutely capable of turning a chase into a battle royale.

"Look at the earth travel dragons. It is estimated that as long as one collision, the wall under our feet can be directly destroyed." Although the scout had heard relevant information long ago, it is completely different from what you saw with your own eyes.

Capey must admit that these hill-like heavy cavalry can only be described as horror, relying only on such a thin wall, the griffon ambition is almost impossible to resist. Once the city wall is smashed open, it is a dream for the infantry to want to fight the dragons by array, no matter how much a pile of eggs are united in front of the stone, it is not worth mentioning.

But it is completely nonsense to say how nervous or even afraid he is. Not only the legion commander himself was calm and relaxed with a smile, but even the ordinary soldiers around him were not frightened, even though they knew that they could not deal with those earth-fighting dragons.

Because it is not only the Griffin ambition that was transferred between the royal capital and Winter City.

Now they are trapped together in this small town of Chakshi.
