Gordon woke up inside a tent.
Fidessa was by his side.
Im glad! Youve regained your consciousness! Your Highness! Can you understand ?
Fidessa huh.how did the battle go.?
.due to the enemys offensive, we lost all defensive bases. Only the main base at the mountaintop is left. His Highness William managed to assu command but.
.you have endured well.
Gordon praised Fidessas hard work and got up while frowning at the pain.
When he sees his body full of wounds, he smiles.
So..I lost huh.
Not yet, Your Highness! If we can get off this mountain, there is still a chance for us to recover!
Rightbut, that will require help from the United Kingdom.
Saying so, Gordon looks at the entrance of his tent.
Standing there was William whose body is as much damaged as his.
Perhaps its hard to even for him to walk, he is now using his spear as a cane.
You woke up..Gordon.
It was a brush with death
Im glad that you are alright. Now, do you have anything you want to say to ?
William implicitly talks about how Gordon used children as weapons.
Hearing that, Fidessas face also clouded over.
Even if it is to win the war, there are still things that are okay and not okay to do.
As a result, their whole army collapsed because of that one incident. There is no doubt that his n are seeing him as a villain now.
However, Gordon smiles.
Using the children as weapons huh..I think that what I did was wrong too.
Thats all?
Do you want my apology? What can you do with it? The children are safe. My brothers helped them. That is good enough right.
Gordon said so as he got out of bed and wore his armor with the help of Fidessa.
Seeing that Gordon now has a different atmosphere from before, William stares at him.
Are you..really Gordon?
Who else can you see other than .? Did you lose too much blood..?
.Im just thinking that you were acting strange.
You idiot. If you think that I have changed then you should have just abandoned you are the only idiot who sided with through this rebellion where I was clearly on the inferior side you know.
I didnt side with you because I like it.
Right. Your father really has no eyes for people. Helping is nothing but a fools errand.
Said Gordon as he hangs a sword on his waist.
He is ready to battle.
Still, even when he hid it with his armor, the wounds he received were deep.
He might survive if he rests and is given proper care. Thats how grave his wounds are.
However, Gordon did not want to rest.
My idiot frienddo you still think of as your friend?
To be honest, I do want to quit being your friendbut it seems that our friendship can not be broken so easily.
Is that sothen I want you to hear out my wish.
What? You want a rematch with Leonard? Get in line.
NoI want you to head to Wismar and withdraw with the rest of the troops. Take my wife and daughter, no Take care of my [Family] for .
.are you telling to run away by myself?
William asks with an angry voice.
However, Gordon only nods to him quietly.
I know that you understand..right now the only place they can withdraw to is the United Kingdom. They wont be able to do that without you.
Dont make laugh..my father will surely kill as soon as I get there. As a peace offering to the Empire that is.
Even though our soldiers are injured, if you lead an army of nearly 10,000 n back to the United Kingdom, even your father wont be so hasty. The rest will depend on you.
Gordon said with a big smile.
He then sticks out his fist.
If you really think of as your friend.I want you to do this for .
Iwanted you to ask to die with you.
Sorry. For everythingfor making you go along with this rebellion, for making you go through all the pain.I am truly sorry. But I still have sothing left to do.
What are you planning?
I must purge the traitor. As long as our army is exhausted, they will be attacking us with an army that is still in perfect condition. Those guys are Erics pawns. They will never give the credit to Leonard.
Then isnt that all the more reason for you to run too?
We cant both run away. Im sure that they will chase us. I am going to lead the charge and stop the enemy. ThenI will finish off Duke Horsvath. I will never give my head to a coward. It was my younger brothers who have devised the strategies and gathered many allies under their wings who defeated . Let alone letting so hyenas steal their achievents, It would be strange if I dont give them so reward right?
Seeing the will behind Gordons eyes, William sticks out his fist as well.
The two fists collided.
I will honor your last wish. I will take care of everything. Leave your family to .
Im counting on you.
Gordon passed by William.
To such Gordon, William raises his voice.
Im gladthat I have you as a friend.
Being friends with soone like is only a stigma to you rightstill, I am honored. Going to the United Kingdom and eting you was the most fortunate thing of my life. Thank you.for being my friend. From my heart, you are a true friend.
William unintentionally turns around.
However, Gordon doesnt look back.
He went straight toward the soldiers and spoke to them in a loud voice.
We are breaking through the Horsvath army on the other side of the mountain and let the injured soldiers escape. I want only those who are prepared to die with for this assault.
With that said, Gordon begins preparing his horse.
Seeing that, the soldiers who had been looking at the ground all this ti started to stand up.
Eventually, the base which was overco with despair began to regain its vitality.
The morale rose even further when Gordon straddles on his horse and raises his sword.
EVERYONE, YOU HAVE FOUGHT WELL! THIS IS OUR LAST BATTLE! FOLLOW THIS GORDON AND GO TO WAR! KEEP YOUR EYES ON MY BACK! AS LONG AS MY BACK IS STILL VISIBLE TO YOU, i WILL NEVER FALL! REMBER, I AM ALWAYS IN FRONT OF ALL OF YOU! I WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO FALL BEHIND! FIGHT WITH ! CHARGE! ! ! ! ! !
After Gordon gave his command he led the cavalry and charged down the mountain.
Only 500 riders followed Gordon.
There were only that many soldiers who could still move satisfactorily.
So injured soldiers insisted on fighting with him until the end but they were all entrusted to William.
On the other hand, the army of Duke Horsvath is 3,000 strong.
The difference in numbers is six tis.
However, they were able to surprise the enemy by beating them to a punch.
Duke Horsvath who had begun to climb the mountain to attack Gordons base could not set up the defensive in ti.
Hmph!!
Gordon blows away several knights with a single swing and opens the path for his n.
He was followed by a suicide squad.
When they decided to die with Gordon, they beca much stronger.
Even if they were stabbed in the belly, dragged down from their horses, they never let go of their swords and take the knights around them with them.
Duke Horsvaths army was confused by the situation and could not stop Gordons assault.
However, with the difference in numbers, Gordons side will eventually wear out.
Nevertheless, Gordon ca to the front and headed directly toward Rolf, the head of the Horsvath house.
Im going to give you the proper reward for your betrayalTRAITOR.
My my, Prince Gordon. It seems that you are quite angry arent you?
Yeah, I am. Im already sickened by a credit-hungry bastard like you!
Blowing away his escorts, Gordon points his sword at Rolf.
However, at that mont.
Gordon was wrapped in fla.
Fool! Theres no way that I didnt co prepared when I have to deal with a monster like you!
It was magic.
Then mages who had been standing by around Rolf burned Gordon with fla magic.
The fla constantly attacks Gordon.
We of the Horsvath house have always carefully prepared to protect our bloodline! We are not so foolish like the Adler who always causes only more conflicts!!
Saying so, Rolf smiled, convinced at his victory.
However, before his eyes, an arm protruded out from the fla.
Wh, at.?
Gordons arm strangles Rolf.
Rolf whose movent was stopped with one hand tried to say sothing but when he saw Gordon coming out of the flas, his face can only distort in horror.
You talk too much.it turned out like this because you didnt run away imdiately
GaA, Uagh.!
Cowardice is the strength of the Horsvath house. And it is exactly because of that that you are not suited to be the Duke of Horsvath..
Wa, ait..
Rember wellif the Horsvath house has been protecting its bloodline.then the Adler house has been polishing ours!! It is not sothing that the likes of you can ridicule!!!!!
Saying so, Gordon swings his sword and bisects Rolfs body.
He then throws the upper half at the mages.
You thought that you could stop this Gordon with that kind of fla!!
Said Gordon as he slashed at the mages.
The Horsvath army lost its chains of command with the death of its master.
Gordon and his n imdiately broke through them.
This is to prevent the pursuit.
Williams army only has injured Soldiers and they had just gone down the mountain. Now, they have to make their way to Wismar.
Gordon turns his gaze in their direction.
A red Flying Dragon was flying in the sky.
It was Williams.
On top of his dragon, William raised his spear.
I pray for your good luck!!
luck huh..
With that said, Gordon turned his gaze to the opposite direction.
An army led by Leo was just around the corner.
He must stop that army from pursuing William.
However, there were less than 200 n of his suicide squad left.
Leos army exceeded 5,000 in number.
There will be many exhausted soldiers but in terms of morale, theirs is incomparable to the Horsvath army.
Even so, Gordon smiles.
Fidessa.
Yes! Right here, sir!
This sure brings back mories, isnt it.I was only capable of attacking and only know how to order an assault
I do rember because that made it so easy to raise military achievents, sir.
I see.will you keep up with until the end?
Gladly!
Good! Sa as before! Follow my back!! As long as you can see my back! I will not allow anyone to give up! Lets go!! Charge!!
