Section 219 The Duke is attacked
Before Arod's words could be finished, he heard a sound of horses neighing. The Burgundian nobles were surprised to see a brown horse rushing into the camp. Several crossbow arrows were inserted on the left hip of the horse, and blood was flowing from the wound.
"What's going on?" The Burgundian nobles stepped forward one after another, and the stronger nobles stepped forward to pull the reins of the horse, and tried to appease the frightened horse.
"Isn't this Sir Aheng. Sir Selt's mount?" someone recognized the horse's owner and said to others.
"Is something unexpected? Soldiers go and have a look."
The Burgundian nobles also realized that something was wrong. The male nobles immediately asked the women and children to go to the center of the camp and pulled out the sword hanging around their waists.
"Sir, please be careful." Green also showed his sharp blade and stood in front of the Duke of Burgundy. Several soldiers surrounded him with knives, spears and shields.
"Who dares to be arrogant in my land?" The Duke of Burgundy was a little angry. He was the guardian of Italy and the ruler of the Duchy of Burgundy, and defeated Yuge, who several times.
"Send cavalry to the castle to summon soldiers to rescue." Green ordered to one of his men.
"Yes." The subordinate dressed like an ordinary servant. He quickly ran to the place where the horse stake was tied, untied the reins of a black horse, and jumped on to ride on the horse.
"Swoosh, puff." Suddenly, a crossbow arrow shot out from the dense woods, hitting Green's back.
"Oh, Gray Rule." Green's subordinate groaned, fell down from the horse's back, and his mount neighed and ran out.
"Damn it, it's the West Frank crossbow." Green hurried over. When he saw his subordinates' crossbow, he finally confirmed that this was not an ordinary attack. This was the West Frank military heavy crossbow.
"We are attacked, defended, defended, protected the Duke and Princess." The soldiers of the Duke of Burgundy quickly raised their pointed shields, and the nobles roared and raised the wooden tables and benches in the camp, trying to use these things to resist the crossbow arrows that kept shooting out of the jungle.
"Swish~."
"Arod, we are hunted as prey." Harvey waved his dagger and cut off a flying crossbow arrow, and the cut crossbow arrow fell to the ground.
"Let's go down, their crossbow arrows will not be fired infinitely." Aruod and Harvey pressed against the ground and flew over their heads. Aruod carefully observed the direction of the crossbow arrow shooting out.
"Oh woo." The Burgundians who were shot by the crossbow arrow fell to the ground one after another, and the wave of crossbow arrow attacks finally stopped gradually.
"How did they stop shooting?" Harvey asked Arod.
"Be prepared. They are going to attack." Aruod knew that the opponent was preparing to attack, so he quickly warned Harvey.
"Sir Duke, we escort you away." Green hid behind the shield and looked at the surrounding forest. He just judged that there were no crossbow arrows in the northwest direction, so he asked the soldiers to escort the Duke of Burgundy and the Princess to leave.
"Sharp." At this moment, the sound of plucking the bushes sounded in the forest, and dozens of hidden West Franks walked out. They held swords and long daggers in their hands and rushed into the camp quickly.
"Ah." The Burgundian nobles saw the enemy appear. They were just shot by crossbow arrows like animals, and now they are filled with anger. Even without armor, they hold their swords tightly and rushed forward to fight.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding" the swords on both sides collided with each other. A crisp metal sound was made, and the shouts of the Burgundian nobles and the West Franks circled in the forest.
"Arod, do we want to go up and help?" Harvey turned his head and said to Arod.
"No, let's take this opportunity to leave." Arod thought for a while and decided not to trek into this muddy water. Anyway, he would just leave Burgundy in the chaos.
"Then let's go." Harvey and Arudzi ran along the edge of the camp in the direction they had just observed.
"Damn Burgundians, go to die." Although Harvey and Arod didn't want to wade into this muddy water, the West Franks did not intend to let them go. After killing a servant, the two West Frank swordsmen saw Arod who was trying to escape.
"Tsk. It's so unlucky." Aruod smashed his mouth and took a T-step. He raised his sword and paralleled his sight. This is the standard plowing starting position.
"Ha, the posture is good." The West Frank swordsmen looked at each other and laughed disdainfully. Arod and Harvey were dressed like ordinary court servants, so they couldn't help laughing when they saw Arod picking up the sword.
"prick."
Arod pulled his steps suddenly, and the sword in his hand reached the chest of the West Frank Swordsman. The West Frank Swordsman hurriedly blocked with his sword. With a clang sound, the West Frank Swordsman Dunden stepped back a few steps. He was surprised to find that Arod's arm was full of strength.
Just as he was surprised, Aruod pressed step by step, and the sword dance in his hand was like a windmill. By turning his arms, it was as fast as lightning.
"Dang." Another West Frank swordsman quickly took action to block a sword for his companion, otherwise his head would be cut off.
"Who are you?" The West Frank Swordsman shouted in surprise. Their people were elites in the Count of Champagne, almost all of whom were veterans who had served for many years. They used various means to lurk in the Principality of Burgundy and transformed into many identities until they received the Count's new order.
They were very confident in their swordsmanship and murder skills, but now they were unable to defeat even a servant dressed as a servant, which made the West Frank swordsman very angry.
"What are you still standing there? Let's kill him together." He shouted to his stunned companions. They had not taken Harvey, who was standing aside, and perhaps thought he was just a woman.
"Okay." Two West Frank swordsmen surrounded Arod from both sides. They rushed with their swords fiercely. Arod dexterously avoided the fatal attack with his steps, but at the same time his sword did not stop.
"Oh woo." When Arod was in full swing with the West Frank Swordsman, a West Frank Swordsman suddenly screamed. He stretched out his hand and tried hard to reach his back. When he fell down, a dagger appeared on his back.
"Damn it, it should be cursed." The surviving West Frank Swordsman saw in surprise, and Harvey was smiling at him. The dagger was thrown out by her. At this time, the West Frank Swordsman discovered that the situation had become two-on-one.
"Dispatch him Arod quickly." Harvey walked to the corpse impatiently and pulled out the dagger on the back of the corpse.
"Okay." Aruod's lips curled up slightly. He hadn't had a fight with others for a long time. No one dared to challenge him as the Duke on weekdays, and there was rarely such a chance to catch the right one on the battlefield.
"Oh, kill you." The West Frank swordsman was angry with their attitude. He raised his sword and slashed hard at Arud. This sword used all his strength. If he was slashed, he would definitely have two corpses.
"Do not get rid of Arude." At this time, even Harvey became nervous, and she couldn't help but blurt out. However, Arude did not avoid and directly greeted her with her sword.
"Scandium." The sword collided with the sword and made a crisp sound. The West Frank swordsman couldn't help but open his eyes wide, and his mouth showed joy. He was very confident in his arm strength. He once chopped an enemy from the beginning in half. Now this mysterious guy who didn't know how high the sky and the earth dared to directly take his sword. The next step must be to press the sword blade directly on his neck.
Just as the West Frank Swordsman was thinking this way, Aruod was calm and calm, and the sword in his hand tilted slightly downward, and the steady T-step moved to the right side of the West Frank Swordsman. The sword and sword slid.
"Swish." This series of movements was completed in one go, and it was completed in the blink of an eye. The West Frank swordsman stumbled forward and pounced forward. Aruod squatted, and the sword in his hand suddenly slashed across the swordsman's abdomen.
"Hmm." In Harvey's opinion, Arod and the swordsman were just exchanging positions with each other, but blood flowed down from the swordsman's abdomen, and then the West Frank swordsman plopped and fell to the ground.
"How is this possible?" When West Frank swordsman Park fell, there was only one thought in his mind.
"Hu." Arod exhaled the turbid air in his chest gently, and when he stood up, the screams of the Burgundians came not far away.
"Let's go quickly." Harvey and Arod quickly embarked on the road of escape. Unexpectedly, the West Franks lurked so many spies in Burgundy. In fact, the West Franks and the Principality of Burgundy were closely connected, and they were very close from culture to tribe. Therefore, the Duke of Burgundy was not wary of the West Franks.
Just as Arod and Harvey ran to the edge of the forest, Arod stopped his steps. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully, but walked in the other direction, which made Harvey feel very strange.
"What's wrong with Arod?" Harvey asked quickly.
"Here, I seem to hear the screams of the Burgundy Princess." Arod walked to the other side, and when he lurked carefully and pushed away the bushes, he saw the Duke and Princess of Burgundy were besieged in a depression in the forest.
"It's the Duke of Burgundy." Harvey also came up to see. A group of West Franks were surrounding the Duke and the Princess, and the bodies of several Burgundian soldiers fell down in front of the Duke. The Burgundy princess was trembling and holding her father's arm. The spy leader Greene was hit by a crossbow on his left arm. He half-squatted down and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"You bastards, do you know who I am?" The Duke of Burgundy was still like a lion even though he was besieged by the enemy. He shouted to the West Franks with great righteousness.
"Of course I know, otherwise we wouldn't have had such a big trouble." The headed West Frank man looked fierce, and he said to the duke with a chuckling.
"What are you? Mercenaries or spies, but whoever hires you, I am willing to pay ten times the price. How is this transaction very cost-effective?" Seeing that it was impossible to scare the group of people, the Duke of Burgundy changed his strategy and tried to buy these killers.
"We don't need your money. What our master needs is justice and the sweetness of revenge." The head of the West Frank people picked up a crossbow. He said as he pulled the strings apart and loaded the crossbow arrows.
"Master Duke." Green struggled to stand up and stood in front of the Duke of Burgundy.
"I know whose subordinates you are, the damn Count of Champagne." The Duke of Burgundy said gritted his teeth. He did not expect that the cowardly count would dare to make such a determination to assassinate him.
"Go and ask God." The head of the West Frank man grinned, raised his crossbow and pointed it at the Duke of Burgundy, put his finger on the trigger of the crossbow, and ended the life of the great Yuge with just a slight stroke.
