Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

“Your Excellency Vareen, I have decided to accept your invitation. Let’s go to your Fiefdom Castle and see.”

In the morning of 2nd day, we will prepare at Richard When leaving Laltai and returning to Fort Loffey, Cassia Griffin took his few packages and a Knight armed sword pinned to his waist, and led a warhorse in a black burqa to take the initiative in the city. Waiting outside the door, as soon as he saw Richard appear, he took the initiative to greet him.

Listening to what he said, Richard grinned and laughed, and said, “I am glad you made a pleasant decision. Then, Lord Griffin, we will be one in the future.”

“Of course, but you have to promise me one thing first.”

“What’s the matter?” Richard asked.

“I used to swear to God in the church before I left home. From now on, I will only stab my sword at the heretic, and will not deal with the brother sister who also believes in God, so I will only tell the heretic Join the battle when the battle begins.”

“I respect your choice, Lord Griffin.” Although Richard was a little disappointed, he still agreed. Cassia said he would not join the battle, but he did not. It means that he will not command soldiers to fight, and Richard will have room for rotation in the future.

Moreover, the most threatening to Richard at the moment is those Bailey heretic who have war horses. Compared with them, although there are more people, the threat of Touraine robbers who are only mobs is not that great. It’s big, of course, there is one more thing. Touraine robbers can be killed, unlike Bailey’s heretic horse team, which will cross the border from time to time.

……

After leaving the town of Laertai, Richard entire group walked along the dirt road in the direction of Fort Loffey. The road system in Braté’s territory is made up of dirt roads. Such dirt roads will become muddy and difficult to walk in bad weather (such as rainy days). If you walk, it is better to say that if this is a carriage walking on it, The wheels will fall into a mud puddle after a short distance, which is one of the reasons why the nearby caravans don’t like to come here.

As the saying goes, good. If you want to get rich, build the road first. Richard considers whether the road in the territory should be renovated into the most basic paving road to attract foreign caravans to walk around.

However, road construction is not a simple project. It takes a lot of stones and labor from Laltaixiu to the border with Latakia. The money, materials and manpower invested are not the current Richard. It can be supported, and the danger of banditry has not been eliminated. Even if repairs can be started immediately, it is difficult to guarantee that they will be attacked by bandits during the construction process.

Just as he was thinking, Cassia, who was riding a horse alongside him, suddenly spoke, pulling him back to reality from thinking.

“Your Excellency, I can feel that there is a group of cavalry coming towards us.”

“What? Cavalry?” Richard was taken aback and didn’t understand what he meant. .

Cassia stopped the horse, turned to look towards the end of the road behind him, browse tightly frowns: “Well, there are at least ten cavalry.”

“Is it the enemy?” Richard Asked, and then asked, he had the answer in his heart. In the Braté collar, besides he has more than ten war horses in his hands, who else owns so many horses?

“Stop advancing, line up on the spot, ready to meet the enemy!”

Richard touched the hilt of the saber at his waist, shouted to the soldiers behind him, The soldiers who heard the command froze for a moment, and then stopped moving forward, holding their shields and weapons in their hands, and looked towards all around vigilantly.

At this moment, Phyllis, who was standing on the ground, suddenly changed his face. He took off his helmet and handed it to the soldiers beside him. The movement on the ground is unbelievable. He hurriedly got up and said to Richard: “My lord, there are indeed cavalry. I can hear more than ten horses running in the direction when we came.”

hearing this, Richard couldn’t help but feel the enchantment of Cassia, and he could tell that cavalry was approaching without moving his expression. After feeling this, he asked the soldiers to place the two carriages sideways at the back of the team, holding the wooden carts. The two Belimas also untied the ropes and led them to the front. Then, the soldiers equipped with shields lined up behind the wooden carts, put the shields in front of them, kneeled on the ground diagonally, and supported the shields with their bodies. Behind them, the archers nervously filled with arrows, doing Ready to shoot.

Let the wooden cart horizontally in front mainly to withstand the impact of the cavalry and serve as a cover for the soldiers. It is not cracking a joke to encounter the cavalry charge in this place, even if the soldiers are equipped with Shields or lances, unless they are arranged in a very dense phalanx, cannot resist the charge of the cavalry. Of course, if the offender is a light cavalry fighting with a javelin, the wooden cart can also protect the soldiers from being shot by the javelin.

A few minutes later, a group of cavalry of about seventeen or eight men appeared at the end of the road and appeared in the sight of everyone. Richard squinted his eyes to observe them carefully and found that the cavalry of this group was very well dressed. In line with the Bailey’s style, they wear furry fur on their heads regardless of the summer heat. The weapons in their hands are either a nearly two-meter-long lance or a javelin with an iron spearhead, or a rusty javelin. Iron sword.

The cavalry team was also taken aback when they saw the two wooden carts lying in the middle of the road. They stopped their pace. They pointed at the two wooden carts and the one standing behind the wooden carts from a distance. The soldiers had no intention of actively attacking with pointing fingers, so the two sides ended up in a stalemate. Within a few minutes, a person walked out of the cavalry team. He drove his horse and ran to a place less than 20 meters away from the wooden cart to stop, and shouted loudly in unskilled Touraine.

“Is the newly appointed Viscount Bulatai the opposite?”

When he heard the other party asking himself, Richard walked behind the shield and said in a proficient Berry language: “I’m Viscount Blatai, you are who? What do you want to do?”

Richard’s proficient Berry language made the other person stunned. He was stunned for a few seconds before reacting, and then simply did the same. Conversation in native language: “We are bloodskin warriors from Bailey, how dare you use such cruel torture to execute our compatriots, this is a declaration of war on our bloodskin warriors!”

“What the hell Bloodskin warrior, have you heard of it?” Richard asked in a low voice, looking towards Cassia behind him.

“I’ve only heard one thing. They claim to be the protectors of the Baileys. They often cross the border to attack Touraine people. In fact, they are just a bunch of brutal and rude bandits that’s all. The next door to Yangkul leads the activity, why is it here?” Cassia said puzzledly.

Richard didn’t know the answer either. He looked towards the Bailey rider and asked loudly: “Then what do you want to do when you show up here?”

“What are you going to do?” Bailey The rider sneered and said: “As long as you can hand over 500 gold dinar, this will stop here, otherwise, I will let you know what cruelty is!”
