Start as Inherited Baroness

"Lord Viscount, what do you think His Highness Feidi is planning? Can the cavalry fight in a place like this?"

Saumur asked doubtfully after drinking a few glasses of ale.

Simon shook his head and said he didn't know.

"I've been to the Changzhai District. Although there are many canyons there, the passable valley roads are flat and wide. In fact, you can still run horses..."

A baron with slightly curly brown hair answered.

"I think His Highness Feidi must have his own considerations. Let's not think too much about it. Come on! Have another drink and go to bed after eating.

There will probably be a battle tomorrow..." Simon said casually.

"Hey! It's so full..."

Everyone greeted and after eating, drinking and chatting for a while, they dispersed.

In the distance, Prince Feidi was outside the big tent, looking at the scene here.

He suddenly whispered to the middle-aged man next to him: "Hey, this kid has a pretty good relationship with those guys."

"This person must be a strong general if he can be used by us, but he will definitely be a big trouble if he becomes an enemy.

If you can't win over him, it's best to get rid of him as soon as possible. "

Upon hearing this, Prince Feidi nodded slightly without making a sound. After a while, he returned to the tent.

…

The next day, before dawn, the soldiers were called up, hurriedly packed up their tents, ate some yellow bread, and got on their horses.

By noon, the surrounding terrain gradually slowed down, and occasionally some flat wilderness areas appeared.

And they also encountered a sentry built by a local lord. The sentries were frightened at first, but later they became calmer after seeing many noble flags.

Prince Ferdy did not stop here, but drove southwest along the way.

At about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, they saw a village with fireworks emitting from a distance, and vaguely visible figures running around and shouting.

Apparently bandits had sacked the village.

The Sword Knights finally came to a slow stop, and an order came from the front to take a short rest and then attack.

"Stop!" Simon waved his hand immediately, and the more than 500 cavalrymen in his group stopped immediately. The horses under them were all wet and covered with sweat.

He turned over and dismounted, took some black beans from the bag for Chi Yan to eat, and then let it eat the weeds on the ground and drink the clear water from the stream.

"Lord Viscount, the horses are too tired and cannot charge unless they rest for twenty minutes." Mai Lan leaned over and said.

“Just follow behind later, there’s no need for us to take action.

The cavalry of the Knights of the Sword are one man and two horses. Simon whispered.

"Yes!" Mailan nodded and immediately went to inform their direct cavalry.

After only about ten minutes, Prince Fedi in front issued the order to attack.

When the news reached Simon, he immediately called his soldiers to mount their horses. In fact, the horses had not rested yet, but the military order had been issued, and at least he had to make a show of it.

"Kill!!" The soldiers of the Sword Cavalry Regiment in front roared in unison and rushed forward, their momentum was like a rainbow and they were extremely brave.

This cavalry is really well trained.

Simon and other lords also drove forward with their cavalry, so slowly that if it weren't for the huge horses riding on their backs, they would have been thought to be riding on donkeys.

After a while, the Sword Knights rushed into the village. The bandits inside were frightened and were running around like headless flies.

By the time Simon and others arrived, more than a hundred bandits had already been killed.

"Your Highness, these should be some local bandits, not members of the Green Forest Brotherhood."

A strong knight went to report to Prince Ferdy.

"Let's move on. We are less than a hundred miles away from the Long Narrow Fortress. Please be energetic." After Prince Fedi finished speaking, he led the army along the way.

Simon and others had no choice but to follow.

Towards evening, they came to a wide canyon area, and the smell of fish and blood blew in their faces with the wind.

This is a battlefield relic. The battle seemed to have just ended not long after it happened, and there were still many people cleaning the battlefield.

"Your Highness! He is from the Green Forest Brotherhood!"

The side that was cleaning the battlefield was carrying a flag. The pattern drawn on it was two crossed spears, and there was a tree behind it. This was the military flag of the Green Forest Brotherhood.

They must have just fought an ambush and eliminated an army of lords who came to support them.

"Warriors! Change your horse! Charge with me!" Prince Feidi raised his sword and ordered.

The soldiers of the Knights of the Sword immediately mounted their horses and left a small number of cavalry to look after the horses. The others rushed over like a torrent.

Simon and others had no horses to change, and their mounts were all tired, so he did not move.

He did not move, and neither did the other barons.

Simon frowned slightly, feeling a little annoyed. These people were like plaster monkeys, just staring at him.

In desperation, he had no choice but to draw his sword and shouted: "Kill!"

Immediately, they also rushed forward on horseback, and more than 500 cavalrymen set off, following the Sword Knights in a leisurely manner.

"Sir! There are cavalry!" The people of the Green Forest Brotherhood were in chaos. They had just fought a battle and their strength was at a low point.

"We can't run away! Hurry! Get into formation quickly! Spearmen in front! Archers in the back! Shoot arrows! Shoot arrows!!"

A commander wearing a horned helmet shouted with sweat on his face.

More than a thousand soldiers near him gathered and formed a formation in a short time. Everyone looked happy and unafraid.

Of course, there were also some poorly qualified stragglers who fled towards the mountains on both sides with their hearts broken.

As soon as more than a thousand elite members of the Green Forest Brotherhood formed their formation, the Knights of the Sword rushed towards them.

Hundreds of riders in front pulled out short spears from their backs and threw them out without aiming. Then they ran to the sides instead of charging directly.

The short spears flew dozens of meters and landed in the formation of the Green Forest Brotherhood, piercing a group of spearmen.

The cavalry behind followed closely and rushed into the formation with a loud shout.

"Ah!!" Suddenly, people and horses fell to the ground. Many Green Forest soldiers were knocked away for more than ten meters. Some horses were pierced by spears and rolled on the ground with people and horses.

The formation of the Green Forest Brotherhood was completely penetrated, and more than half of the troops were killed in one wave of killing.

"Run!"

"We can't hold it anymore! Run to the mountain!!"

The remaining Green Forest soldiers were scared, and after the formation was broken up, there was no hope of resistance, so they all ran for their lives.

Simon saw an opportunity, waved his sword and shouted: "Kill!"

They immediately adjusted their direction slightly and chased the fleeing soldiers.

Two legs can never outrun four legs. Although their horses were exhausted, they still caught up with many fleeing soldiers.

Simon held a cavalry spear and chased after an armored bandit soldier. He stabbed him hard and stabbed him through the heart.

The iron light armor did not provide much protection for this soldier.

…

The battle lasted only more than half an hour and ended. Nearly two thousand green forest rebels were wiped out.

Simon and his party killed one or two hundred fleeing soldiers, which was a small gain.

He ran to Prince Fedi with a bleeding spear and complained: "Your Highness, each of us has only one horse and can't keep up with the speed of the army.

Can we follow behind as a rear guard?"
