Chapter 244 reinforcements and confrontation
While Rody's cavalry regiment was sprinting outside Kiger Town, the five lords were not idle, and also led the team to the south of the town.
Earl Irving moved forward silently in the team, following his last advanced knight.
He knew very well that although his team still had some combat effectiveness, the only trump card that could have the final say was the loyal soldier around him. If he wanted to turn the tables, this knight named Gris was his only hope.
The successive defeats made Owen angry. When he looked at the smoke and dust brought by the cavalry team in the distance, he pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind to reach out and take out an extremely small crystal bottle from the deepest pocket of his clothes.
"Gris, hold it."
The advanced knight was skilled in riding. He immediately rode his horse and grabbed the bottle containing the green liquid: "Master, what is this?"
"Take it, your fighting spirit will always maintain the strongest state in a short period of time, and will be used without restrictions
Earl Irving's words shocked Gris: the "war energy" of a knight is not like the magic of a mage. The "war energy" consumes quickly and recovers quickly. Therefore, the "knight" profession has strong endurance, but its explosive power is extremely low. Except for the "ghost knight" like Wellington, few knights can explode a lot of damage in a short period of time.
But this bottle of rare potion refined by Ansadin himself is extremely amazing. The effect of "unlimited use of combat energy in a short period of time" can completely make Gris burst out with combat power several times that of daily life.
Gris was not stupid. After thinking for a moment, he understood Earl Irving's plan. He nodded and silently hid the potion in his arms.
"Mr. Ansardin...I have done my best."
When such words were whispering in his heart, the cavalry team in Soderol ahead had already appeared in his sight.
For Roddy's team, the situation was bad at this time.
The soldiers' injuries were more serious than expected, and many people basically lost their combat effectiveness. What's more important is that the entire team's physical strength has dropped significantly. The war horses have experienced at least four battles, and they almost held their breath and rushed from beginning to end. They took a few minutes of rest in the middle and didn't even drink a few sips of water...
Anyone who knows a little about horses knows that if they continue running so hard, the horse has a high chance of running to death.
Soderol naturally knew this, so when the entire team evacuated, he tried to choose flat and open streets, and at the same time he did not run away. He knew very well that the team must not be in chaos at this time, otherwise the morale of the army would be unstable and the consequences would be unimaginable.
But slow speed means that there is a possibility of being surrounded. It is not difficult to break out of Kige Town, because the enemy has not had time to react... But after rushing out of Kige Town, a large number of cavalry troops quickly caught up with the advantage of speed.
The southern part of Kige Town is next to an open plain, and is three kilometers away from the forest. In this era, no one has specially built roads. For war horses, the black and soft dirt roads are far less than the hard dirt roads in Kige Town.
The breathing of the war horse under his crotch became heavier due to exhaustion of physical strength... Soderol frowned. He was at the forefront of the team at this time, but in his vision, he could see at least three cavalry teams accelerating from the side and rear, and there was an infantry squadron holding weapons blocking the front in front of the left and making a forcibly intercepting posture.
The rumbling sound of horse hooves approached from both sides, and the physically energetic seventy or eighty knights quickly caught up with them, and then gradually moved forward in a parallel position with Soderol and others at a distance of 100 meters on both sides, and then accelerated and prepared to encircle in front...
"Run over?"
Ruge, who was at the end of the team, looked worried and turned his head to ask Roddy.
“There is only this way.”
Roddy frowned slightly, but then added: "What should be done has been done. If there is really nothing we can do, we can only accept our fate."
Ruge quietly pulled out the scimitar and spitted bloody saliva: "Even if you can kill here, even if you die, there is nothing to regret."
The veteran's words were sonorous and powerful, but at the same time it also made Roddy next to him a little dazed...
He never thought he could lead a group of useless scouts to this point: killing orcs, killing undeads, and even fighting traitors, without any disadvantage at all
Through repeated war experiences, this army has a "soul" that other noble troops have never had: they are not only war machines that obey orders, but also "awareness" that ordinary soldiers do not have - the scouts always think that what they want to do is absolutely correct, and they are 100% honored to execute Roddy's orders.
This "enlightenment" made all scouts have the same idea as Ruger: they will not regret it after the battle this time.
The cavalry teams on both sides gradually completed the encirclement, and hundreds of infantrymen in front of the road also raised their spears to form a dense phalanx against the cavalry. In this case, Soder's reaction was to raise his sword high and give the instructions to "prepare for battle"...
However, just as it was two hundred meters away from the infantry position, Roddy narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes passed the enemies blocking the front, staring at the edge of the forest two kilometers away.
Then, he breathed a sigh of relief and issued an order to "slow down" in front of the team.
On the other side, the approaching lords thought they would see the scene of this cavalry fighting with the encirclement and annihilation troops, but the troops that suddenly emerged from the forest made them stunned for a moment...
A team of more than twenty people ran out of the forest and galloped towards the infantry squadron that were lined up. Judging from their outfits, they were all the guys who had just escaped from Kiger Town.
What is this? Are you rushing back and looking for death?
Even if they were elite cavalry, when facing a mixed infantry and cavalry team of more than 300 people, rushing over like this was a moth to the flames...
Baron Howard sneered: "Hey, are you aware of your destiny and ready to die with that baron?"
But after saying this, he could no longer laugh.
Behind the team, a cavalry team with more people suddenly surged out of the forest, and the flag spread out by this team in the cold wind completely stunned the lords.

When they looked ahead of the team, the two guardian knights who looked like giants made everyone hold their breath-
It's Wellington and Titus
The two strongest people in the Everta territory charged side by side, and the aura of the strong made the lords feel the chill through eight hundred meters...
"What's going on? How could Angma interfere?"
"Didn't it mean that Wellington and Titus went to the Northwest Fortress?"
This situation caught them off guard... During the pre-war intelligence reconnaissance, there was no evidence that Angma was interested in Kieger Town, but at this time, two guardian knights with great strength suddenly appeared to disturb the battle. They thought with their knees and understood that the other party was definitely not here to help them.
Naturally, they didn't know that Nata and others escaped from the town early, and it was Roddy who did it on purpose. The main purpose was to enter the forest and guide the reinforcements that "may be here" to the correct position to support the
Roddy received a letter from Angma three or four days ago, which mentioned that Roddy's current situation was critical and he was ready to reinforce at any time - and in this situation, Roddy bet that the duke had the courage to send people to protect him...
Obviously, he won the bet.
However, Roddy was happy, while the nobles were stunned...
What should I do next?
The lords looked at each other, and Baron Howard had already retreated, but Durant and Count Irving had some resolute emotions in their eyes...
"Let's surround you first and say that Angma has not come, so there is room for maneuvering in this matter."
Earl Irving led the team forward with gritted teeth. He didn't think about "confrontation" at all, but he was thinking about how to get rid of these guys as soon as possible.
Logically, after the two "guardian knights" joined the battlefield, these nobles had no reason to continue fighting: because whoever dared to take action would be completely disrespectful to Duke Angma.
If you don’t give your husband face, the consequences will definitely not be something that ordinary people can bear.
Therefore, the team that was originally preparing to encircle immediately slowed down. The originally tense atmosphere on the entire battlefield was suddenly diluted, and the running horses gradually stopped... The three forces gradually occupied three directions of the battlefield.
The situation was in a stalemate and confrontation, but under this situation, the lords' team still had an absolute advantage: except for the 100 guards, the 200 cavalry and infantry squadrons who rushed over before made them seem large, and the number of infantry replenished in the rear was more than a thousand. In comparison, Roddy and Wellington's soldiers combined were only more than one hundred, and they seemed to have obvious disadvantages under such siege.
"The battle ends here, Duke Russifron does not want to see any serious battles in the territory."
The Knight Titus walked out of the queue and said to the five lords with a gloomy expression, "Baron Soder and his team are our escorts. Now they need to return to Hollier City. Please give up your way and cooperate."
This tone made the faces of the lords change several times... Titus had no intention of giving them face at all, it was completely like "Brother is here, you guys get out quickly."
However, Baron Howard and several young lords really dared not speak out - although they said before, "Angma is almost finished" and "Everta is about to collapse", but they really encountered these two guardian knights, with their power, they would not be able to admit defeat.
"Knight Titus, I think it's a bit inappropriate to do this."
Earl Durant lost the elementalist Cohen. At this time, he hated Soderol so much that he yelled at the beginning of his teeth, so he shouted indignantly: "Baron Soderol took the initiative to provoke the battle in Kiger Town and fought with us... If you leave, I think the two knights should wait until we solve this problem before leaving?"
This is actually nonsense. Everyone tests each other and sees their attitudes.
"I come on the order of the Duke. If you have any other opinions, you can ask the Duke, but now... I am just here to carry out the order."
The rifle in Titus's hand shook intentionally or unintentionally, with a cold expression.
