Blood flowed sizzlingly from Viscount Will's back along the sword.
"He actually wanted to run away and almost deceived me."
There was a bit of disdain in Viscount Sauter's tone. Just now, Viscount Will, his old enemy, looked like a madman, which really frightened Sauter. He thought he really wanted to fight for his life, but he didn't expect that he actually used a feint to shoot.
When he got a chance, he turned the horse's head and tried to escape.
Unfortunately, he was entangled by Ron who came over. In the end, Viscount Will lost his courage and was killed by Sauter from behind with a knight's sword without any honor.
"Ron, are you hurt?"
After all, it was a dying counterattack by a senior knight, and Ron seemed to have been injured.
"It doesn't matter, go and support Lord Richard first."
"Well", after all, the fighting was still going on. Viscount Sauter was not an old silver coin who was particularly good at playing the role of a polite corporal. He ordered the cavalry beside him to cut off Viscount Will's head and continued into the battle.
As the two knight-level combatants, Viscount Sauter and Ron, joined in, the already shaken Will family cavalry began to collapse. In the end, only two quasi-knights and a dozen cavalry fled the battlefield from different directions.
Richard did not ask to continue the pursuit. He slightly reorganized his remaining cavalry and observed the main force of the Will family's peasant soldiers. The infantry without cavalry cover simply had loopholes everywhere.
Leading the remaining cavalry, he easily penetrated Will's line from the flank, and kept shouting that Will was dead, and showed Will's head to the army.
The great collapse inevitably began. The peasants and soldiers decisively dropped their weapons and turned to flee. Even the quasi-knights and personal guards who had been bravely leading the way began to waver.
One by two, they fled, triggering a chain reaction in the end. However, several quasi-cavaliers gathered together and tried to organize the fleeing peasants and soldiers to mount a futile resistance. However, Richard led the cavalry to attack them hard. When the final
After several resisting would-be knights fell under Richard's sword, the war had lost any suspense.
The peasants and soldiers of the Will family fled in all directions on the snowy field, while the peasants and soldiers of the Hunter family chased after them with red eyes. Now, in their eyes, this group of people all had military exploits at their fingertips.
It wasn't until Richard issued an order prohibiting the killing of deserters that the Hunter family's farmers and soldiers reluctantly stopped.
Until the last chasing peasant soldier returned to the team, there was no trace of the Will family soldiers on the snow except for the prisoners lying directly on the ground.
…
After a brief cheer, the soldiers of the Hunter family began to clean up the battlefield. In the relatively iron-deficient Northland, these iron armors, knight swords and even gun heads are all good treasures. After cleaning up, you can collect almost
Hundreds of pairs of iron armor, even if some are damaged, can be dismantled by a blacksmith and used to sew cloth armor, laying a certain foundation for Richard's subsequent army expansion.
Finally, some surprises appeared in Richard's consciousness.
a brilliant victory

Skills: Beast Breathing Technique (Master) can be improved, and General Air Entrainment Technique (Beginner) can be improved.
New skill - primary offensive technique (the attack of soldiers under his command is increased by 10% - can be learned)
Available skill points: 3
Richard first tried to learn basic offensive techniques and used a skill point. Then he called Ron and a quasi-knight from the city guard to ask respectively. Ron bluntly said that he felt strengthened, but the other quasi-knight said
Richard's question was a little confusing.
Richard dismissed the two of them without explaining it carefully and then started to think about it.
After roughly confirming that the offensive technique was only effective for soldiers produced by his system, Richard fell into a dilemma.
After much thought, Richard added skill points to the Beast Breathing Technique. There were too few soldiers in the system, so adding offensive techniques was of little use now. The quality of general-purpose air-entraining techniques was too low, so he used skill points directly.
It's a waste to improve, so let's see what the Beast Breathing Technique that you have already cultivated to its peak will look like if you take it one step further.
After investing two skill points into the Beast Breathing Technique, Richard clearly felt a sense of relief in his body, and his strength and five senses were obviously improved.
Even the improvement plan to further strengthen the Beast Breathing Technique emerged in his memory, which meant that this set of breathing techniques was equivalent to a perfect improvement of the Beast Breathing Technique, and he could teach it to everyone in the Hunter family.
I intuitively looked at my property panel through the system, and now it has become
At this time, Richard's physical fitness has been greatly improved. Without taking into account his fighting spirit, based on physical fitness alone, Richard is no weaker than a senior knight who has been in the knight class for many years and introduced energy to temper his body to the peak.
It was already dark, and the soldiers who had finished cleaning up the battlefield set up camp. The main members of the Hunter family gathered around the campfire to discuss matters.
Richard did not choose to march to the Stone Fortress overnight. In this era, marching overnight is a very dangerous thing. The night is full of too many accidents. Even the most experienced elites will not march overnight unless they have to.
Now that the Will family is meat on the chopping board, there is no possibility of escape, so there is no need to take risks.
Except for the cheers of victory, the mood of everyone around the campfire was not high at this time. Although this battle was a complete victory, the Hunter family suffered a lot of losses. Not to mention that two system swordsmen were killed under Richard.
Two of the three quasi-knight-level centurions in the Guards were killed, one of whom was the son of the second uncle's family, Richard's cousin. The city guards even lost hundreds of people in the battle to stop the Will family's quasi-knights.
, the peasants and soldiers suffered the heaviest losses. They lacked armor and were cut down like grass in front of the would-be knights of the Will family.
Although the Hunter family also relied on martial arts, this was the first time they had experienced such a war with heavy casualties.
After making some simple arrangements, Richard also spoke a few words of comfort. Although the effect was not great, everyone finally lifted their mood.
Richard didn't say anything more and asked everyone to go back and have a rest early.
Only Richard and Viscount Sauter were left.
"You know, during the battle today, old guy Will saw his son dead. His look was really scary. I thought he really wanted to trade his life with me, but I didn't expect that he actually wanted to escape."
"Haha, I didn't expect that my father would be scared sometimes on the battlefield."
"Who knows, I thought he loved his son as much as I do."
"..." Richard suddenly fell silent. He had never been a person who liked to say sensational words, and he didn't know how to answer them.
"But, if I think about it carefully, he is right. If he could run away and bring some troops back to the Stone Castle to defend it, we might not be so relaxed now."
Sauter didn't pay attention to Richard's silence and continued.
"Richard, if one day your father dies on the battlefield, will you desperately seek revenge, or will you continue to plan rationally?"
Damn, send me a proposition.
I have to say that this sentence also made Richard question. Richard prides himself on being a rational and well-planned person. If the person who died in the battle today was not his cousin but Viscount Sauter, would he still be able to maintain his sanity?
"I don't know the answer until I get to that point. In order to prevent myself from encountering such a problem, I think I will try my best to prevent my father from going to the battlefield again."
"You go hunting, drinking and watching circuses in Ironwood City. I will invite all the most popular circuses in the Golden Dragon Kingdom to show you. You can enjoy yourself and leave the rest of the hard work to your son."
Richard actually avoided this problem.
It's a shameful escape, but it's really useful.
…
"You, hahahaha."
"What you are saying sounds like a prince in a bard's story who seeks to usurp the throne."
Richard also smiled. His authority in Hunter Territory is now that of the king, so there is no need to usurp the throne.
Once we take over the Stone Fortress, it will be a new beginning.
…
The camp tents rustled in the night wind, and the entire camp except for the patrolling soldiers had fallen asleep.
