Chapter 143

Gordon Menewa brimmed with pleasure.

Main an elite judiciary squad of ten, together with 5 knights, two on the sixth stage, and himself, a ninth-level knight

On the opposing aspect, although numbering 20, solely three reached knightly stature, with the mightiest barbarian on the seventh stage.

Extra crucially, inside the pagan group had been two spellcasters!

Deserves!

Deserves served to him on a silver platter!

The judiciary extremely prized pagan spellcasters. If he captured each alive, whether or not coercing conversion or binding them to the pyre, the deserves may safe his promotion, aided by the judiciary, to the coveted tenth stage!

The leap from ninth to tenth was monumental. Crossing it will elevate him to a grand knight, considerably boosting his fight prowess and church standing.

The extra Gordon ruminated, the extra his coronary heart kindled. Urging the workforce to quicken, the substantial deserves neared his grasp, but the pagans forward instantly veered, vanishing behind the mountain bend.

“Mellen! Fechi! Choose up the tempo!”

Gordon urged the entrance runners. The state of affairs forward blurred, and if not carefully pursued, these pagansespecially the spellcastersmight slip away, shattering his deserves and promotion goals!

But, Mellen within the lead abruptly pulled his horse’s reins, halting it. Fechi, caught off guard, swiftly halted his mount, narrowly avoiding a collision.

The horses neighed incessantly, circling in place. Had been it not for the cliff on one aspect and a mild slope on the opposite, the 2 knights and their steeds may need tumbled.

“Why the halt!” Gordon fumed. But, Mellen, undeterred by his anger, not solely kept away from advancing however dismounted, continuing on foot.

“Captain, up forward… it is blocked!”

“Then clear it! All of you, transfer up!”

Gordon answered with out hesitation. Mellen, Fechi, and the 2 knight squires within the entrance superior to clear the street. Mellen casually hung his greatsword on the saddle, muttering, “Block the street by killing these horses? Ridiculous, as if they cannot be moved…”

Horse corpses?

Horse corpses!

Gordon shuddered, each hair on his physique standing on finish. Intuition trumped cause, and the knight captain bellowed:

“You are taking them again, take excellent care!”

Solely 4 killed? Garrett glanced again on the barbarians with remorse. Corpse explosion could not alter the result. Quickly, the judiciary knights, fierce, caught up.

Garrett’s workforce fell, troopers with out horses working. Lastly, Blake, youngest and lowest-level, tumbled, holding an ankle.

“Captain!” The boy’s voice hinted at tears. He struggled, making an attempt to shake off Captain Barnes’s hand:

“Don’t fret about me! Run, run shortly!”

Twisted ankle?

Ruptured Achilles?

Fracture?

Garrett needed to heal however was carried by Bernard, working ahead, unreachable.

Pressing, pursuers with bows. Barbarians now not carried him on their backs however in entrance, broad backs shielding him. Garrett could not break away, so he threw a potion:

“Therapeutic potion! Use it!”

The fallen disappeared. Quickly, Captain Barnes caught up, eyes purple, working with head down.

Later, a distant scream got here from the mountain street.

“…We won’t go on like this.” Captain Barnes resolved. He stopped, took off his bow, lovingly stroked it:

“We cease! Let’s battle them!”

“Battle!” Defend warrior York responded first. Falling from his horse, he’d needed this, however the captain stopped him. Listening to Captain Barnes, he turned, erecting his metal defend:

“I will be on the entrance! Barnes, you go behind mego up!”

Warriors silently shaped a formation. Killing 5 horses, they piled them on the mountain bend, forming cowl. York in entrance, two low-level defend warriors behind horse corpses, shields raised. Captain Barnes and one other archer climbed greater. Remaining warriors with spears and knives shaped a small killing formation behind the shields.

Daniel the mage abstained. He stood apart, taking a look at comrades in life and dying, face flushed:

“My magic’s nearly used up… give me a knife…”
