Knight and Wand

Chapter 131 "A Hearty Victory"

The cavalry that stepped into the melee first waved their spears and stabbed the infantry below amidst the noisy roars.

The formation of the Pleyton people, who were attacked from the rear, had already collapsed. Corvis's battle flag had to be withdrawn to the high slope with the defeated infantry. Only three guards with swords were left who originally guarded the flag. The three shield and hammer guards on the outside were completely submerged under the iron hoof of Wolfenhall, and their lives or deaths were unknown.

The struggling Selva detachment reached the critical point of failure even with the support of the Ronca infantry on the left wing.

The battlefield entered the final moment to decide the outcome.

With no room for command, the old but strong Brian swung his sword and hacked at the Wolf Leader soldiers who were about to break through in front of him.

The sword blade was stained with blood, and in a trance, the old knight felt as if he was on the battlefield of the king's territory in the past.

Following the urgent command of the Knights of the Inner Court, the Wolf Leader's heavy cavalry who had stopped did not pursue the enemy's defeated army. The messy formation had no time to reorganize, so they had to follow their leader and turn back as quickly as possible to rescue the young master who had accidentally fallen off his horse and was involved in a fight with the generals in the rear.

The position they vacated was just filled by the advancing main formation of the Yom Knights Infantry. This phalanx, which had not yet engaged in battle and was still full of energy, drove the fleeing Pletton people and killed step by step towards the Duwana halberdiers who were fighting tiredly in the north.

Victory for the Wolfenhall Army was imminent.

However, the Knight of the Palace, who was concerned about the safety of the young master, had just led the cavalry across Yom's main formation when he saw a squad of enemy cavalry charging at full speed from the side and behind the friendly army.

Only then did he understand why Yom's army, while marching, even let down the defensive spear formation on the flanks and rear like hedgehogs.

At such a close distance, there was no chance to alert the troops within a few seconds. In an instant, two cavalry units, one large and one small, formed a V shape and suddenly met each other.

The war horses collided with each other. Although there were only a few riders left on the attacking Farolis side, the Wolfenhall cavalry, who had just broken away from the charge, had a loose formation. Caught off guard, several men were knocked off their horses by the cavalry's charging weapons at the moment of contact.

Lohak swung his halberd with his backhand, using the momentum to smash an enemy's helmet from behind, causing a dent.

The blade of his halberd and axe swirled around, knocking another cavalryman's spear out of his hand as the horse's hooves thrust forward.

The tall young man who was fighting fiercely roared and followed Sir Redo's horse's hooves to charge towards the Wolf Family Knight with the most distinctive battle robe in the formation.

The battle array was in chaos, Sir Redo raised his halberd high and collided head-on with the spear blade of the Wolf Knight with great force.

The heavy weapons kept colliding, and the knights of the wolf and the flower were in a fierce battle.

Lohak, together with Sir Redo's two knight squires, fought with all their might against the Wolf cavalry that surrounded the two generals as they fought.

Azerien worked together with Baron Anquila's second son to protect each other.

As their horses' hooves were gradually slowed down by the enemy, the noble son suddenly caught a glimpse of his companion's iconic winged helmet in the distance.

Seeing his best friend fighting with a crowned knight of the Wolf family in gorgeous armor, Azerien suddenly realized something. He turned around anxiously and shouted loudly to the armored figure on a white horse and a silver spear not far away.

"Olivia! That might be the enemy leader! Let's delay it! Go support Leon!!"

"!Leon?"

Amid the chaos of the army, Olivia heard her companions shouting their names loudly, and her spear blade swept through like a dragon, forcing back several besieging cavalrymen.

She grabbed the horse's head with her backhand, brandished her sword and galloped out of the encirclement. Through the gap in her visor, she looked at her lover who was fighting with the enemy in the distance. The girl was anxious and immediately shouted to the horse, threw the reins and galloped away with the spear in hand.
".You think you can defeat my wolf pack with just a few cavalrymen? I think you are still asleep! Look back! Your army is finished!"

Canis laughed heartily under his wolf-head helmet.

His arm armor clanked, and he adopted an almost identical crossed sword stance, instantly taking a step forward and pouncing towards the winged-helmet knight in front of him.

With his heavy steps, the dirt and rocks flew everywhere, and the young master of the Wolf family thrust his sword directly at his opponent's crotch.

Leon dodged the vicious sword attacking his vitals by leaning sideways, then raised the handle with his left hand and pressed down the sword guard with his right hand. The sharp blades collided with each other with a loud bang, and sparks flew everywhere like electric welding under the huge force, barely blocking the enemy's immediately changing attack.

The sharp edges of the two swords had long been worn down in the fierce fight, but the two steel-forged weapons were still entangled fiercely under the power of the knights, until the sword guards of the two weapons, which were of different shapes, bit each other tightly under the pushing, and then they were stuck in the wrestling with a creaking sound.

"The halberd warriors you hid did cause some trouble, but clever tricks cannot win a war. Your front line has been defeated, but I still have troops on the river bank that have not been put into battle. Surrender and I can still leave you some dignity!"

Kanis harassed him verbally and took the opportunity to step out and trip the other person's knee.

Leon ignored his opponent's trash talk and just retracted his legs and stepped back.

Kanis felt the force of the sword loosen, and immediately kicked the opponent's knee armor as a response to being kicked away just now.

Bang!
Leon was kicked off balance and almost half-knelt. He hurriedly stabilized his lower body and used his sword to reach the opponent's sword that was pressed down by his raised arm.

Leon roared as his left hand suddenly released the force. He then turned sideways while gripping the hilt of the sword with his right hand and smashed his fist into the opponent's face with the steel edge of the glove.

Bang! !
Canis was hit hard by a steel fist. Although the heavy helmet, chain mail hood, and inner jacket hood offset the vibration of the blow, the distorted vision caused by the force forced him to temporarily take two steps back and slightly adjust his helmet.

"If we capture you, your army will collapse without a fight!" Leon stood firm again and raised his sword in a deep voice.

"Ha! I can fight with you until dark, but your physical strength is getting weaker and weaker!" Canis could feel that his opponent's strength was much weaker than when they fought just now.

"Don't worry, it won't take dark to defeat you." Leon listened to the horse hooves getting closer and closer behind him, and the corners of his mouth covered by the helmet raised.

Because it's not me who's going to defeat you!

Pretending to swing his sword, Leon took a step forward to feint.

He knew that the enemy general in front of him did not take Olivia, who was riding a horse and rushing towards him from behind, seriously at all.

“Leon!!”

The girl called out her lover's name, reminding him to dodge her spear charge.

Seeing Leon's back suddenly move out of the way, Olivia's five fingers, wrapped in iron gloves, clamped the spear in her hand like hydraulic clamps, and the blood-stained spear blade accurately stabbed the knight in plate armor with wolf patterns.

Listening to the clear and pleasant voice of a young girl under the helmet of the petite cavalryman on horseback, Canis's expression even showed a hint of mockery for a moment.

A girl? Let a little girl go to war. Will all the men in the Farolis family die?
The young master of the Wolf family held the long sword tightly in both hands, slightly tilted his body, and swung the sword horizontally in an attempt to deflect the spear tip.

Bang! Canis's powerful and sure-fire slash only shook the spear shaft, causing the point where the force was applied to vibrate slightly.

However, under Olivia's unshakable control, the spearhead, which had not deviated from its trajectory at all, still pierced the neck armor of the young master of the Wolf family.

——Bang! ! The sound of the golden bell resounded, and his body was tilted backwards under the galloping of the warhorse. Feeling the constant pressure of the armor on his neck, Canis's face changed drastically.

Abandoning the sword, he quickly grabbed the spear shaft with both hands, trying hard to slow down the impact of the cavalry's spear heads, but his whole body was still moved, and his heels dug out two mounds of earth. The next moment, his body flew into the air as if he was hit by a high-speed vehicle.

Click!

The tough spear body could not withstand the collision of the two knights' huge force, and it broke and shattered, with wood chips flying everywhere.

The sudden destruction of the weapon saved the life of the young master of the Wolf family. The heavy body in plate armor fell back to the ground with a bang.

But Canis, whose neck armor was dented, didn't have time to get up.

Leon, who had been charging after Olivia, held the hilt and blade of the sword upside down with both hands, and pounced on the fallen Wolf Knight with all his weight and armor.

With a bang, he pressed heavily on the enemy, and he stabbed the sharp blade with his reverse hand towards the gap in Canis's visor!
In shock, Canis covered his face with his hands to resist.

Crack! A teeth-grinding friction sound was heard, and the sharp tip of the sword pierced the layers of iron sheets on the palm of the hand armor, but it still could not penetrate into them.

Damn it! ! !

The young master of the Lang family roared, then immediately wrapped his right hand around the tip of the sword, grasped the blade with his left hand, and pushed upward with all his might in a desperate struggle.

".Say it again, you lose! I won't repeat the same thing three times!" Leon pressed the blade down slowly, his eyes fierce: "Don't force me to kill you here, surrender! Canis!"

As he threatened, a sharp sword blade with a cold glow hung in front of Canis' eyes.

Olivia held the long sword, and at this moment she only needed to pierce the enemy's face with force to end the life of the leader of the Gunnar family.

But when the girl heard her lover's threats, she did not rush to kill him.

She knew that her own line was about to fail, her companions were surrounded, and the enemy was still strong. There were even four spearmen on the north bank who were about to cross the river.

At present, it seems that only by capturing the enemy general alive can we force Wolf's army to be cautious.

"Kill me, Wolfenhall's army will avenge me, and you will all die!" Canis said sarcastically.

"Okay, I'll help you!"

Leon opened his eyes wide and shouted without hesitation: "Olivia! Do it!"

"Wait!!! Wait a minute!" Looking at the sword light that was almost hitting his eyes, the young master of the Wolf family yelled in shock.

The other party was too disrespectful. As the eldest son of the baron, could he be killed just like that?

Feeling that he might die without honor or meaning in a village battle instead of a great and glorious battle, Canis could only grit his teeth, his throat trembling with anger, and had to bow his head and admit his mistake: "You damn rude man, can't you say something polite to give me a way out?
Okay! I admit, Knights of the Thorn Flower Family, you win. But remember, this is only temporary! "

Olivia held high the symbol of the enemy general, using the broken spear shaft to support the red-feathered wolf-head helmet.

Leon, on the other hand, was holding the knight of the Wolf Clan, who had taken off his breastplate and whose arms were bound behind his back with his battle robe, and he was following closely on horseback, holding a dagger across his neck.

"The enemy general has surrendered! The wolf leader has been defeated!"

With the declaration of victory, the two men's horses galloped across the north bank where the elite troops were fighting to the death, across the cavalry that were fighting each other, and across the crowded and chaotic front.

"The enemy general has surrendered! The Wolf Leader has been defeated!!" The shouts were heard again and again on the battlefield, until he rode his mount around the battle line, passed through his own scattered soldiers, and stepped onto the top of the high slope.

Leon pushed Canis by the back of the collar, showing the captured enemy general to all the fighting warriors.

The soldiers in the Wolf Leader's main camp looked up in disbelief at the young master Canis, who had been captured alive with disheveled hair and a dishevelled face.

The Lonka defenders did not recognize the enemy, but cheers still broke out, one wave louder than the other. Even the young and strong men who had originally collapsed and fled stopped running at Olivia's shouts, holding their weapons, and gathered again at the foot of the high slope with their morale boosted.

In the center of the army, the blood-soaked old Brian grabbed the Selva soldier who wanted to pursue him. He knew there was no need to continue fighting.

Capturing the leader of the enemy army would be a victory even if Longka was completely lost at this moment.

Knight Yom, who was commanding the Wolf Lord's main camp, frowned. After a brief thought, he immediately ordered a retreat without hesitation.

He couldn't possibly ignore the life and safety of his lord's eldest son. There was no point in continuing the fight.

Now he had to lead his soldiers away from the battlefield as quickly as possible before the other side had a chance to threaten him.

He didn't want to be forced to become a prisoner of war with the young master.

The whistling retreat horn sounded in the Wolf Leader's main camp.
The knight of the Wolf Family led his horse and the cavalrymen around him to slowly retreat. He threatened the knight of the Thorn Flower Family in front of him in a frustrated manner, "Assholes! You'd better not hurt Lord Canis, otherwise you will have to bear the real wrath of the Wolf Family!"

"Canis? I've heard of this name, the eldest son of Baron Gunnar? Hahahaha. I think the first ones to bear the wrath of Baron Grey Wolf will be you useless losers who failed to protect your master!"

Sir Ledo twirled his halberd in his hand and laughed wildly.

The Wofenhall soldiers in front and behind the battlefield retreated with anger in their eyes. Although there were still some selfless warriors who were unable to stop fighting, more soldiers had already withdrawn from the battle.

The Wolf Leader's elite troops were able to retreat in an orderly formation, but those scattered conscripted soldiers had already turned around and fled without a trace.

Looking at the enemy line that was retreating decisively like a tide, Leon pulled the collar of the Wolf Knight in front of him and said, "The troops you brought are quite obedient. They care about your safety. Is your identity important?"

"?" Canis gritted his teeth and looked sideways: "Don't you know who I am?"

Leon raised his eyebrows: "Why do I have to know who you are? Are you famous in Kossos County?"

"."Canis was silent, thinking that no wonder the knight was so decisive when he was about to take action just now, it turned out that he didn't know what the consequences would be if he killed him.

He turned his gaze to the armored girl beside him.

In order to make it easier to shout, the girl had already removed her visor.

The young master of the Lang family looked at her young and beautiful face and still couldn't believe that he almost died at the hands of such a delicate-looking girl.

Even though she was wearing armor, he could see that she was petite and did not have the sturdy and majestic appearance that a normal "female knight" should have.

But given the force of the lance impact he had just taken, any other knight of the Order of Merit would most likely have been pulled off his horse by his own brute force.

But the fact was, he was actually lifted up into the air with his armor on with just one hand by the girl.

Even though the charge of the warhorse contributed to this, one must know that the reverse force also needs to be borne by the rider on the horse himself.

And if the spear had not been of average quality and broken in time, his throat would have been crushed into pieces through the concave cervical armor.

In terms of strength alone, this girl is far beyond the average level of a Knight of the Order of Arms.

".What about her? Who is she?" Canis couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Leon looked proudly at the armored girl who was holding up a wolf-head helmet, sword in hand, and standing on her horse, declaring victory on the battlefield.

"She is my lion, the lion of Selva"
