Unknown Knight

Chapter 143 The Forbearing King

King Yarogelk crouched in the dense wormwood, not caring at all about the mosquitoes that flew over his face and hurt him.

No one could have imagined that the king of a country would lie in the weeds in the wild, allowing himself to be bitten by mosquitoes, while enduring the stuffiness that the Viegians could not tolerate.

But these are child's play for the resolute man, as his forbearance is inherited from his family.

Thinking back, it was because of this forbearance that his father outlasted his brothers and eventually took over the power of the kingdom and passed this power to him.

This forbearance is also his magic weapon for victory. When he first came to power, various domestic giants expressed their dissatisfaction. It was also with this forbearance that he showed weakness to his opponents at the right time, making the big guys think that he was young and could be easily bullied, which temporarily alleviated their targeting and questioning.

After securing the title of king, he was not happy with his life as king at first, but through years of unremitting efforts, he gradually established his own power.

Especially in the battle against the Kugits last year, facing the loose coalition forces and the leaders of all parties who did not obey his orders, he had to stay in Fort Roma and wait for the best opportunity.

When the Kugits were tired of fighting for a long time and were about to be defeated, and the continuous heavy rain had greatly restricted the horses, he launched a fatal attack on the Kugits and drove them away.

During this period, he was constantly questioned by nobles both large and small in the country, but it was because of this forbearance that he persevered to the end and finally won. It was because of the victory in this battle that he established his power that he can now easily command the entire country.

Now has come another moment that requires him to be patient. He has been lying in the grass for more than an hour, still looking at the cheering and noisy Tismo Village in the distance with a grim gaze, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

It seems that the Kugits have broken into the city of Kudan. Just now, a fast horse coming from the direction of Kudan drove into Tismo Village, and cheers and noises arose.

The billowing smoke from the top of Kudan City in the distance made him worried. Once Kudan City fell, the whole of Vigia would never have peace again. The next city to fall might be Loma Castle, and the next might be Kulau City or his Rivadin City.

But at this moment he still needed to be patient. According to the intelligence he had collected, Tismo had become a base for the Kugits to store military supplies, and it had been reinforced into a heavily guarded camp. If he attacked at this time, it would most likely be difficult to break through the camp, which would attract a large number of cavalry from under the Kudan city to return for support.

In this way, King Yarogerk and more than a thousand elite Vigia soldiers behind him lurked in the jungle outside the village of Tismo until late at night, when the entire Tismo camp was filled with the aroma of wine and meat of victory.

King Yarogerk ended his forbearance and waved his hand. The Vigia warriors behind him, holding moon-blade axes, chopped open the wooden gate and broke into the Tismo camp.

In the camp under the city of Kudan, Saiga Khan, who was feasting with the nobles, was in high spirits. After taking over the city of Kudan, the entire Vigia was like opening its arms to him.

Whether it is attacking the city of Kulau, the city of Rivadin, or even the city of Rivacherze, it is all possible. This important water and land location was built as a springboard. It is too critical and important.

Hearing that there were still some Vaegir soldiers resisting in the city, Sega Khan did not take it seriously. They were just a group of defeated remnants of the enemy. How could they dampen the soldiers' interest in looting and sleeping with Vaegir women?

He wanted to bring out the brutality of the soldiers through this great robbery.

'If you want a hound to hunt, you must first give it a taste of the sweetness.'

He said complacently in his heart that he believed that in the next battle, the soldiers would fight even more bravely, and then his dream of conquering another city would be just around the corner.

Suddenly, a scream interrupted his tipsy reverie. He stepped out of the tent and looked in the direction of the sound. He was stunned. A huge fire several feet high was burning in the Tismo camp on the opposite bank, which almost made him vomit blood.

He even used up all his savings over the years to purchase and collect these supplies, and he was hoping to use these supplies to capture a few cities and fortresses to make a comeback.

Didn't the scouts say that Yarogerk's troops were hiding in Fort Loma? How did they suddenly appear in Tismo?

He left more than a thousand troops in the camp, so how could it be captured so easily?

However, the situation was so urgent that he didn't have time to think clearly about the reasons. The most important thing at the moment was to take back the supplies in Tismo's camp.

"Gather all the troops on standby at the camp. Even if it costs your lives, you must bring Tismo back to me!"

In a hurry, Saiga Khan issued a death order, and teams of cavalry galloped towards the Tismo camp on the opposite bank.

However, information was soon sent back from the front that the Vigers had blocked the only bridge across the river, and their numbers were increasing, as if they intended to completely block the stone bridge.

This news made Saiga Khan's eyes go dark, and he almost fainted. The enemy wanted to block them outside Kudan City! Could it be that they wanted to annihilate them completely?

“Blow the horn! Blow the horn! Withdraw the main forces in the city and recapture Tismo with all your strength! Quickly, quickly!”

Saiga Khan shouted at the top of his lungs. As soon as he finished speaking, the bugle guard blew the horn and blew the emergency recall call.

But he had completely misunderstood. King Yarogerk was afraid that the fire in Tismo's camp would attract the Kugits to come to the rescue in advance, so that the fire would not burn all the military supplies in the camp.

They were even more worried that there would not be time to move the valuable treasures in the camp, including gold, silver and copper coins worth millions, as well as precious materials such as velvet and woolen cloth.

So he sent 300 elite soldiers to block the only stone bridge, and gave them a death order not to retreat without orders.

So after the three hundred soldiers captured the stone bridge in a surprise attack, they immediately cut down trees and moved stones, intending to completely block the stone bridge.

They were working in full swing and had just blocked half of the road when the Kugit cavalry brigade arrived.

So the two sides started a desperate struggle on the stone bridge which was covered with branches and twigs and rocks.

The messy branches and twigs and the rubble on the ground hindered the Kugits, forcing them to dismount and fight on foot. However, in close combat, they were no match for the Vigria soldiers who were good at using two-handed axes.

They were soon driven off the bridge by the Vaegir soldiers, leaving only the bodies of the Kugits on the bridge.

However, the situation soon reversed. More than 3,000 Kugit soldiers who had broken into the city also rushed over, and more than 300 Vigir soldiers gradually became exhausted.

Especially those armored heavy cavalry who dismounted and fought on foot, wielding their wolf-tooth clubs, no Vigerian could match them and they all retreated in fear.

The overwhelming amount of arrows fell like rain, indiscriminately. Seeing that these 300 Vigians were about to die here, their life-saving assembly call was finally sounded.
