Chapter 74: The Surprise of a Successful Attack
The following afternoon, Lorist stood inside a large hall on the first floor of Williamiles Castle. Sitting in front of him was an eagle-nosed eagle-nosed man in full boating knight attire, wearing a breastplate depicting the head of a black bull. This man was one of the illegitimate Gold ranked sons of the number stationed at the Castle of Williamiles. Sitting further away from him were the four silver-ranked men in armor. The two in front were Silver-ranked illegitimate sons of the count with the other two being captains of the castle garrison squads.
"You mentioned that the spear cavalry company you brought was only formed 3 days ago, and that you were sent here by my 21st brother?" Said the eagle-nosed man as he stared intently at Lorist.
Lorist made a puzzled face and said, “That's right. I myself do not know the reason, but the order I received clearly stated that our company should go to Williamiles Castle to increase its defense. I myself think that there is some kind of battle going on here. It seems that our trip here was completely wasted. Oh, and, will you let my men into the castle? If not, we should go back to the city. ”
"returned? Yes right . Now that you're here, you better stay quiet. What is your name and Battle Force rank? ”Snorts the man.
Lorist nodded and said, "My master, this one is named Lorist and I am at the Three Stars Iron rank. ”
"Gift!" A man with a receding hairline started laughing out loud. "The current army really has no standards .. For a small Iron rank like you to be able to captain a spear cavalry company … It's a bit too unreasonable for us rank Three Silver Stars to just be the captain of the garrison troops . ”
“The 14th brother, I think the 21st brother is just trying to mess with us. Otherwise, there was no way he would have appointed a Three Star Iron ranked captain. We still have to face the army of allied nobles in front of us. Although the latter situation is quite stable, we might be more vulnerable to enemy attacks if there were no pike cavalry stationed here in the castle. That's why our father sent us this newly formed company to make sure we would be well protected from any potential threats ” said another man wearing armor.
“True, the words of the 19th brother make sense. Watch my orders, let the spear cavalry troops come out into the castle and order them to gather in the square in front. You ... Lok-something, you don't deserve to be the captain of the company, so train hard until you become first rank. I will reorganize the spear cavalry in the afternoon, so you will be assigned to be the captain of the garrison troops, ” said the eagle-nosed man.
Lorist stood there without making a sound as if he was dissatisfied with his position taken from him. The eagle-nosed man did not care and began to discuss with the other men beside him. "Who among you will lead the pike cavalry company? Choose two of you and join some of our own troops to the cavalry company so that we will be able to better control the unit … "
At that moment, the eagle-nosed man once again looked towards the shivering Tarkel. "Oh, don't you think, Tarkel? What are cowards doing in pike cavalry company? Are you sick of being a prison guard? "
"Sir 8, this one did not dare to disobey the 21st lord .. And he said that Iron rank like me should join the cavalry company .. So I got an allocation here," stuttering here, Tarkel.
The current Tarkel deeply regretted his previous actions. How could he make Lorist like him? He is not a talented person and just likes to pay attention to gossip and analyze the situation around them. Now that he had been chosen to be Lorist's personal servant, he was even taken to Williamiles Castle to participate in the surprise attack operation.
The only one guarding Williamiles Castle was the illegitimate 8th son of the tally, a Golden Two Star ranker who not only excelled in battle, but was also a, but also a cunning and considerate person who is not so easy to handle. This could be seen from how only a small group including Lorist were allowed to enter the castle for verification while the other soldiers they brought were denied entry and left outside.
Of all the people available, you must choose me to follow you inside! Sniper Josk would be much more beneficial for this purpose! Tarkel really did not understand why he was asked to come along. Was it because he had greeted some of his former comrades outside the castle? It was his acquaintance and it would only be more suspicious if he did not greet them. Lord Norton was also a very careless person. Even though he is only Iron rank, he actually came into the castle with an Iron rank like me! Basically suicidal because 2 Iron ranks rose against 1 Gold rank and 4 Silver rank!
The more Tarkel thought about it, the more scared he became. By the time the 8th master ordered Lorist's men to be allowed inside the castle, he was afraid that they would immediately attack and cause their intentions to be discovered and make his death on the rock. When he first entered the large hall, Tarkel tried his best not to utter a sound or draw attention to himself. But, just because he coughed once, he was discovered by the 8th master. Luckily he was smart enough to come out with an excuse on the spot.
“Hmm, 21st brother must have had too much to drink. Then again, Tarkel, you coward, are you really afraid of fighting? If you were this lump right now, I wonder if you would faint while on the battlefield! Hahaha .. ”laugh the eagle-nosed man out loud.
Lorist turned his body slightly to the side and looked outside the window of the first floor's large hall from the corner of his eyes and saw that his people had already entered the palace. Good, the gate is already under our control. Right now, Terman was heading to the two side gates with the light cavalry scouting squad Yuriy who was making their preparations in the square. Josk has also been heading here.
The garrison troops of Williamiles Castle were not fully armed for some reason and simply gathered together to watch the spectacle. Maybe they just finished lunch and are still lazy. Some of them even sunbathe on the side of the wall. This is the perfect opportunity to launch an attack …
Lorist unsheathed his sword and said, “He's afraid because you're all going to die. He's allergic to cadavers, you know … "
The eagle-nosed man was shocked and angry at the same time. “How dare you fight a superior officer? Your ambition must drive you crazy. So that you really dare to draw your sword before me.. Calm him down, make an example out of him so that the other spear cavalry troops can see .. ”
Even though the 8th master was sharp, he completely misunderstood the situation. He thought that Lorist rebelled because he was not satisfied being demoted from his position as captain of the company.
Two of the Silver rank garrison troops rushed over without bothering to draw their swords. One of them thought, hmph, sheer iron rank .. My hand was enough to conquer it …
Tarkel immediately crouched on the ground and thought, This is over. Is Lord Norton crazy? Why would an Iron rank like him even draw his sword in front of 1 Gold rank and 4 Silver rank? It was like saying, 'Please come and kill me!' He even boasted that they would die .. I think the first one to die was an Iron rank like me and Lord Norton .. Why can't you wait for your person to arrive first before hitting? Now you even dragged me into it too. Oh my poor wife and my precious son .. What would she do without me, her father, beside her?
The eagle-nosed man and his two brothers jumped in confusion. No one would expect the Iron rankers to be able to dispatch two captains of the Silver rank garrison squad with just three sword attacks.
"Who are you?" Asked the eagle-nosed man as he stared intensely at Lorist while slowly pulling his sword.
Lorist laughed in a light tone and said, “My identity is not important. You just need to know that I'm coming for your life … "
"19, sound the alarm! Pike cavalry is not on our side! They're enemies! ”Shouted the eagle-nosed man to the one wearing the armor as soon as he regained consciousness.
"OK .." he replied as he unsheathed his sword and paced cautiously towards the exit and ran over.
An arrow floated in an instant and pierced through his chest, sending the man flying for a full three meters before he fell back to the ground and spewed out a huge mouthful of blood with both of his hands clasping tightly the arrow on his chest as if he was trying to pull it, he said, before exhaling his last breath and stopping fighting altogether.
At that moment, Josk appeared at the door of the large hall with a large bow in his hand.
"Sniper Josk .." said the eagle-nosed man faintly.
"For a long time no see, 8th lord …. "Said Josk with his red eyes. The eagle-nosed man, Count Corby's Gold ranked 8th bastard child, was also referred to by others as '8th master', he was the one who had attacked the castle of Baron Omador during the wedding and was one of the main culprits who caused the deaths of Josk's loved ones.
"Hold him!" Shouted the eagle-nosed man to the man with his hairline receding as he rushed towards Lorist while drawing a bow in the air with his sword.
"The chips I need!" Lorist exclaimed as he raised his sword to meet the incoming sword. The moment the two collided, the sharp sound of a metallic clash resounded rapidly throughout the large hall.
The 8th Master intended to let the half-bald man hold Josk while he took care of Lorist before moving to suppress Josk together with his partner. That way, they would have a better chance of turning the tide of the battle, since Lorist was only an Iron rank. He thought that no matter how good Lorist's swordsmanship was, it would only allow him to take Silver rank at most. Given the Gold Battle Troop ranked 8th master, he would be able to easily defeat Lorist with brute force alone regardless of the level of swordsmanship given the difference in raw strength between their ranks.
It was the 8th master's first mistake. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that when he first got into a dispute with Lorist, his Battle Forces felt like it had no effect at all, causing a Gold rank like him to stagger backwards against the supposed Iron rank and even almost get slashed. Even the half-bald man who was busy with Josk stared in shock at the outcome of the first clash.
Tarkel looked at the fight with his mouth widened with leaking saliva, making him seem like a fool. So Lord Norton wasn't crazy and confident in his abilities all along! This swordsmanship was truly godly .. So much so that he was able to withstand the Two Star Golden Sword like the 8th master to the point where he had no choice but to become defensive!
The half-bald man jolted out of his fainted state and noticed that Josk was still mesmerized by the battle between Lorist and his half-brother. Overjoyed, he carefully edged back and intended to escape. This was the second mistake of the 8th lord: he overestimated the loyalty of his subordinates to him.
As a star sniper, Josk soon realized the thin movements of the half-bald man. He quickly lifted the green bow upwards, stretching it wide like a full moon and releasing three arrows in a row.
The first arrow had been blocked by that person, but it took a lot of effort to do so and he retreated 3 steps back as a result. The second arrow broke the man's sword in half and caused the man to bleed. By the time the third and final arrow arrived, the, the bald man had already lost all his strength to resist and could only stare at the arrow that stretched inside his field of view until the arrow entered his mouth and lifted him into the air, nailing him upwards. nearby wall at the back.
After witnessing the middle-aged man's death, the 8th master began to panic. His hands were already filled with battles against Lorist. Now that Josk was taking care of the half-bald man and started to point his bow at him, the 8th master started to feel even more nervous. In his disturbed mental state, his hand did not beat and gave Lorist the chance to make the final blow. With a flash of a blade, the savage 8th master let out a snort of pain before his head separated from his body and flew through the air. Lorist retreated quickly to avoid the fountain of blood that had come out from the stump of the man's neck.
“How long will you stay flat on the ground like that, Tarkel? Quickly get up and hang this head on the veranda and announce to the army that Geldos City is already under our control, ”command Lorist.
By the time the five heads were displayed on the first floor porch, the entire castle became panicked which was quickly suppressed. It was especially so after the 7 or 8 soldiers who died loyal to the count began to fight back against the troops of spear cavalry entering the castle, only to be shot dead with one arrow each by Josk, further expedited the surrender of the castle garrison troops. When night fell, Lorist's forces had already taken complete control of Williamiles Castle.
“Yuriy, after resting for an hour after dinner, I will bring the army of Terman knights and Josk Knights back to Geldos City. I'll leave Williamiles Castle in your care. Make sure you let your light cavalry guides patrol the surrounding area from time to time, but do not attack the surrounding allied forces unless they are initiating an attack, in which case you can retaliate. Tarkel, stay here and calm the mental state of the garrison troops and tell them that by the time the soldiers who came to take their place to keep the castle arrive, the, they will be allowed to return to Geldos City to check on their family members . Don't worry, it won't be too long. I am confident that I will be able to send a courier within ten days, " Lorist said as he bit off a piece of bread in his hand.
"Master, I understand. Please leave that place to me, ” Yuriy said before continuing to eat.
Tarkel placed the piece of bone in his hand onto his plate, rubbed his mouth with his sleeve and said, "My master, as long as I am here, I will make sure that the garrison troops do not cause any problems. ”
