After bypassing Alarda Army's square formation, Derrick led the family knights to stop not far away.
They planned to take a short rest and then return to the phalanx of their allies to help in the battle. Although the troops under the Alarda Army flag were neatly organized and looked well-trained, they were all infantry after all and were still too passive in the face of the high-speed moving cavalry.
Just leaving the friendly troops behind and running away, Derrick asked himself whether he could do such a thing.
Before they could take a breath, a heart-wrenching scene happened. Kent Family Two cavalry troops, one on the left and one on the right, rushed towards the Alarda Army.
When many people began to pray for friendly forces, something surprising happened.
There was a sound like exploding beans, followed by a burst of thick smoke, and a large number of the Kent Family cavalry who attacked the phalanx fell instantly..
It was so amazing that the cavalrymen were hit by something before they even threw their spears. Obviously, the invisible thing could cause fatal injuries to them, because most of the people who fell to the ground could not stand up.
Only a few lucky people threw their spears, causing some casualties to Arda's army, but the entire phalanx did not loosen at all.
Derrick and his knights stared blankly as the offensive of another team of the Kent Family cavalry was easily defused by friendly forces, and then the two sides faced off.
It wasn't until Artillery roared like thunder that they woke up from their sluggish state.
"Quick! Meet Alarda People!"
Derrick clamped his horse's belly and led the knights towards the phalanx.
"Dear friends from Arda, I am Derrick Heller Viscount, the son of Earl Winifred Heller. Who is your highest person in charge here?"
Hearing Derrick announce his name, Bryce adjusted his collar, raised his chest and raised his head and responded loudly, "I am Arda Infantry First Battalion Commander Bryce Alder Lieutenant Colonel, and I command this army in the name of Earl Greiman."
Derrick jumped off the horse and walked quickly towards Bryce. Soldiers made way for him.
The two held their hands tightly together.
"Alder...Lieutenant Colonel, thank you for rescuing us from the Kent Family. On behalf of the Heller Family, I pay tribute to the Greiman Family, you and your men."
"It is natural for friendly forces to help each other. On behalf of Earl Greiman, I also pay tribute to the Heller Family."
The two exchanged polite greetings. Bryce served as Arda's military manager when Old Greiman was a child. Derrick had heard his name several times and knew that the other party was just "Wild Knight". As the son of an earl, Derrick usually behaves politely towards such civilians, but today he was saved by the other party, and he became polite unknowingly.
"Are the weapons you used to defeat the cavalry the legendary 'Fire Crossbow' and 'Thunder Hammer'?"
Although he endured it again and again, Derrick couldn't help but asked. Such a powerful weapon would definitely be regarded as an important military secret by the other party. Just now he had been debating whether to ask or not, for fear of causing the other party's displeasure.
"Fire crossbow? Thunder Hammer? The name is quite vivid. Indeed, Heller Viscount, we officially relied on them to defeat the cavalry of the Kent Family."
Derrick further asked, "This... can I touch it?"
Bryce understood Derrick's thoughts at this time, but still showed a troubled expression. Firearms are Alarda Army's biggest reliance.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have been so abrupt. Everyone, let me lead the way to the station!"
Derrick quickly changed the topic.
"Then it's hard work!"
Bryce ordered the troops to gather up and go back on the road. The speed of the Alarda Army's assembly once again surprised Derrick and his knights - they blew the bugle, and everyone quickly found their position as if they had rehearsed many times in advance. In less than 20 minutes, a neat marching column was formed.
When Bryce and others followed Derrick close to the station, the armies of other lords in the coalition had just finished fighting with the Kent Family's army. There was a melee between the two sides, and no one got any advantage.
"What a stupid fight we had today!"
The officers complained to each other and the morale of the troops was even lower.
The two teams met halfway.
"Derrick! You are still alive! I thought..."
Earl Mairken exclaimed when he saw Derrick.
"Heavenly Father bless you, otherwise how should we explain to your father."
Although the content of the words was thankful, the tone was full of ridicule.
"I retreated to the north after breaking through!"
Derrick looked ashamed, "Sorry for causing trouble to everyone!"
Earl Parker rode over and said, "We will sum up today's events after we go back. Who is this?"
He had recognized the flag of the Greiman Family, turned to the leader Bryce and asked.
Bryce saluted forward.
"Bryce Alder, under the orders of Earl Greiman, led the army to join you all. You must be Price Earl Kent, right? I would like to say hello to you on behalf of my lord."
"Yes, I am Price Parker. You are here just in time. Our battle with the Kent Family is about to begin, and we need a new force like you."
Earl Parker saw that the team from Arda had a regular appearance and did not look like a random soldier at all. He was secretly happy to recruit Greiman and it was indeed right.
So the two armies cooperated and returned to the village where they were stationed.
After arriving at the station, Bryce discovered that it was originally a village, but there were no villagers in it. They all hid in the lord's castle before the coalition forces arrived.
Looking to the west of the village, a castle suddenly comes into view. This is Biduo Fort. Although the castle is not large, it is located on a high cliff. There is only a narrow road leading to the east of it. It is so steep. No wonder the coalition forces were unable to attack it for a long time. However, the way out of the castle was also blocked by the coalition forces.
Although the village is not small in size, there are six to seven thousand coalition forces, and the houses have long been divided by the troops that arrived first. Alarda Army can only camp in an open space to the north of the village.
Bryce ordered the two deputy Battalion Commander to direct Soldiers to set up camp and bury pots for cooking. Before we had time to eat lunch today, we had a fierce battle with the Kent Family. During the battle, everyone was highly nervous and temporarily forgot about hunger. However, after the battle, we were even more hungry than before.
He and Joyce were invited to attend a military meeting to discuss future combat plans. The two hurriedly ate a few biscuits and walked to the largest room in the center of the village. This was originally the village chief's house, but is now used as a conference room by the coalition forces.
"Welcome! Everyone from Arda!"
As soon as I entered the door, I heard the voice of Derrick.
Sorry for the two-day hiatus. I have been quite busy, and recently I have been working on two projects. I was asked to work overtime again today. I would like to express my gratitude to you readers once again: this book will definitely not be a eunuch!
