Rise In Calradia - Chapter 428: : loyal and unyielding
“King! Protect His Majesty the King!”
The panicked shouts turned into fear and uneasiness and quickly spread among the crowd. The soldiers who were still fighting bravely just now suddenly lost their vigor, and they kept gathering in the direction where the shouts were most dense, and the large area they had controlled The area surrendered to the enemy.
“Graves is dead! He’s shot!”
At this time, Bandak made up the fatal blow. Under his instigation, Amira’s soldiers shouted “King Graves is dead”, although this is not true, but in a chaotic battlefield How do the monks distinguish lies? As a result, the soldiers who belonged to Byron were very motivated, and the voices of “Long Live Saint Byron” became more and more intensive. I don’t know how to keep fighting. They vowed to take back their homeland with the king, but now? Now how to do?
Some people threw away their weapons, and more people were defeated and disarmed by the enemy when they were at a loss. Only half of them gathered near the king.
King Graves endured the pain and covered one eye and stood on the shoulders of the two guards. The king’s personal guards lifted him up so that everyone could see him.
“I’m alive! Don’t worry, the Rhodoks will win!”
The king’s appearance stabilized the morale of the army, but at this time they had already lost the foothold they had gained in the opponent’s position, and half of the soldiers surrendered or were captured or died in battle because of the chaos just now, and the rest had nothing to do. The other way is to start trying to break through.
Bhandak sighed looking at the king who was still alive, but laughed again when he saw the king’s blood-stained helmet and hands covering his eyes under the open visor, and he did not continue to shoot King Graves , but intended to capture him alive.
So a large number of troops began to surround the remaining soldiers of the Royal Army, trying to force them to surrender or eliminate them. But at this time, His Majesty the King is still in control of the wall, and his crossbowmen can condescendingly provide cover, and the assembled soldiers are very elite, including the lords and their well-armed guards, and the soldiers of Amira’s army. Many attacks ended in failure, and the Kingdom Army also had no intention of fighting and began to attack westward, trying to break through.
They did so not only because of the king’s injury and the loss of hundreds of soldiers, but also because Byron’s large army had reached their line on the other side of the wall, and the two sides had begun fighting. But obviously, those refusal horses may prevent the Swadian heavy cavalry from charging towards them unscrupulously, but they cannot stop the larger number of enemy infantry, especially those Nord warriors, who gave their phalanx very large pressure.
So, the soldiers and their monarchs and lords made a sad but helpless choice. An army composed of about 500 wounded soldiers and slow-moving infantry gave up retreating and broke through, covering the remaining troops to break out from the other side through the wall.
King Graves’s heart is broken. Abandoning hundreds of brave soldiers who are completely loyal to him is more painful than his eye injury, but there is nothing else he can do. With the continuous flow of blood, his consciousness is a little blurred , the Earl of Toobiton took over the command. The lord was very anxious. He had someone make a stretcher out of flagpoles, gun poles, his cloak and flag, and wrapped the king with another flag and tied it to the stretcher. , and then led the most elite soldiers to break through.
The most elite fighters of the Rhodok Kingdom didn’t care about anything, they killed with bloodshot eyes, just to send the king out safely. Some people cut off the belt buckle with a sword and forcibly took off the plate armor, in order to rush to the front faster and open the way for the king. A bodyguard who did this was full of bows and crossbows, and the chain armor almost shattered on his body, but he still refused to stop, and crazily hit the shield of the enemy in front of him with his warhammer until the shield was completely broken. A big hole was punched in the ground, and after smashing the opponent to death, he was stabbed to death by several spearmen.
No one cares whether their situation is bad or their weapons are curved. These warriors who are still loyal to the king have used their lives to open the way for their monarch, desperately fighting a **** path among the crowd, and protecting King Graves Killed out with several lords.
This time, even Fatis and Bundak have nothing to do with it. Amira’s infantry is definitely one of the bravest troops they have ever seen in combat, but even they can’t stop the crazy Jere who is almost desperate Kara Wang Wei and the loyal warriors of the kingdom, this is no longer something they can solve.
After hesitating again and again, both out of respect for the other party and in order to reduce unnecessary sacrifices, Fatis ordered Amira’s soldiers to separate a road and hold high the peony flag to those brave warriors and their former king. Paying tribute, watching them leave covered in mud and blood, without any further obstruction.
This will definitely cause him to be angrily accused by others in front of Byron, but he will not violate the justice in his heart. He respects brave warriors, even his enemies. He respects those warriors who are true to their oath, those who sacrifice their lives to protect the monarch they serve, and those true knights who practice the word of glory in practice instead of talking about it. When those Jelkala and the Rhodoks in the south used their lives to explain what loyalty and faith were, Fatis bowed down to them in his heart.
“Countless people will tarnish loyalty and honor, but that’s not what I did.”
After talking to himself, Fatis waved his hand and asked the trumpeter to blow the horn, announcing that the battle on the wall was over.
On the other side, the 500 warriors who left behind refreshed Byron’s understanding of Calradia soldiers. In his impression, 20% casualties are enough to collapse an army, and 30% to 40% casualties are unbearable even for a charge formation composed of knights. He spent a lot of time and energy, and with spiritual beliefs and systematic blessings, he raised the tolerance limit of his troops to about 50%, and Amira’s believers who regarded him as a saint were even higher.
But in front of these dilapidated troops composed of the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, they all had to bow down.
455 people.
That was the number killed by Byron’s army before the last squad gave up their arms. As for the captives, there was no one willing to be taken by them except these crippled warriors who had seen the king’s banner go away and did not resist any more.

In front of the whole army, Byron dismounted from his horse, and the knights stood in three rows behind him. The whole army lined up neatly and raised their banners high, but none of them seemed to accept surrender. Byron walked to the front of the team, and solemnly said to the remaining Rhodok soldiers in front of him:
“You have faithfully performed your duties, and your bravery is admirable. You are the key to the people of this land not being enslaved. You have taught all of Calradia today what a true warrior is and what a warrior is.” True Iron Army. Come home, warriors of the Rhodoks, I will send the cavalry to **** you away, so that you can embrace your families again. Come home, unyielding warriors, you can take your weapons, your armor , wearing your current burqas, holding your current battle flags, you can proudly tell your family and friends that you have never bowed to von Byron and his troops, and you have never betrayed your King, you have defended the honor of the Rhodoks, and you may declare to them that you went to the battlefield with a duty, and now you return with a victory that is yours. What an honor!”
