Chapter 145, The Knightly Army Gathers

"The marriage contract was rejected by my father, and my brother also opposed this marriage." Suria's tone was calm, and she even wanted to laugh: "I don't know the reason why my father refused, but my brother thinks that the Marquis of Anxi is not a capable person. The one who brings me happiness is only coveting Winford's wealth and my dowry."

"And, I also think that I will not marry a knight who is weaker than me." The female knight shook her head: "Compared to being a knight, I think the Marquis of Anxi is more suitable to be a poet or a court minister."

"His strength is not as good as yours?" Ryan smiled. He also saw Olivier knock Chretien off his horse while yelling and won the duel.

"I'm not saying that his current strength is not as good as mine. What I mean is that I am eighteen years old, and my strength is high-level elite. He is twenty-seven years old, and his strength is also high-level elite. Do you understand what I mean? Ryan Your Excellency?" Su Liya didn't know why, so she explained a few more words: "And he is the same as the young ranger knights today, he always hopes to get the attention of ladies through a beautiful war, and compared to Governing his own territory, he cares more about what clothes to wear to the banquet at night."

Ryan understands that with Francois and Julius, an excellent father and an excellent elder brother, the female knight will definitely look down on the Marquis of Anci, so it is normal for the Grand Duke of Wenford to refuse Well, if the daughter doesn't like it, can he like it as a father?

"I also think that if you want to become a lady's husband, you must be at least a powerful knight of the legendary rank. It is best to have passed the Holy Grail trial and get the lady's approval..." Another female knight, Sylvia, added, It was only halfway through, when Sylvia felt her hand was pinched by the lady, so she shut up and stopped talking.

"Okay, I offended you, I'm sorry." Knowing that Suria didn't have a marriage contract, Ryan felt a little relieved. After all, men have this common problem, that is, they will feel heartbroken after seeing a beautiful woman. There are regrets.

The next few days were spent on the march. The army of the Principality of Wenford bypassed the Charon Forest, passed through the Principality of Boldrow, and then marched northeast. Finally, it arrived at the Battle of the Knights in mid-August. The rendezvous point is at Valemi's Camp in the Forest of Arden.

When he came to the Varemi camp, what Ryan saw was a large camp consisting of countless tents, wooden walls, sentry towers, and stables.

White, yellow, and gray tents were set up in the valley in an orderly manner, row upon row, and a large number of flags fluttered in the wind. Ryan saw the red and blue "jumping lion" Connet family coat of arms, I saw the coat of arms of the Bastogne family of the "Red Dragon", the coat of arms of the Montfort family of the "White Castle", and the family coat of arms of Le-Angulan of the "Blue Sea Monster", the "Trident of the Sea God" The Boldro family coat of arms and more...

Except for the Duke of Berleon, who is fighting Estalia, all the dukes have sent their own troops.

And located a few kilometers away from the camp, the lush forest that can't be seen until the end of the line of sight is the Arden Forest.

The Arden Forest, the largest forest in Britannia, occupies almost half of the northern half of Britannia, covering tens of thousands of square kilometers of land and spanning the territories of five dukes.

In the depths of the forest sea, there are the most terrifying beastman tribes. They will appear every spring and plunder the surrounding villages and towns. Go back to winter with your own spoils.

For hundreds of years, the Kingdom of Knights has waged countless wars in order to exterminate these Beastmen. There have been victories and defeats, and the offensive of the Beastmen has generally been contained on the front line of Varemi-Ursen. This year, King Richard even launched a new war. The war of chivalry is to kill people in the depths of the Arden Forest, and completely destroy the sacred totem and spiritual pillar of the Beastmen in the depths of the Arden Forest-the Wanmo Rock.

Teams of patrolling soldiers are constantly walking around the camp,

Seeing the arrival of a new army, a clerk dressed as an aristocrat soon greeted him: "Is it the army from Winford?"

"yes."

"Then please come with me." The clerk led Winford's army to a camp in the valley.

Groups of knights and infantry are constantly patrolling and practicing in the huge camp. The knights are wearing gorgeous plate armor or chain mail, holding high the flags of their own families. The colorful and various family coats of arms are impressive. It was dizzying, and Ryan, who had just arrived, couldn't recognize many family coats of arms. He could only identify which principality they belonged to based on the flags of each duchy.

The appearance of the Wenford Principality's army attracted many knights to watch. Their camp was arranged in the valley next to a hillside. Hundreds of tents had already been set up. The sentry post was standing guard. Seeing the arrival of the army, some soldiers immediately walked in to report.

Several knights and about a hundred infantrymen had already arrived at the Varemi camp first, and the infantry quickly opened the gate, and Julius Antley led several knights out to greet them: "Suria? Your Excellency Nali? Ryan! Are you here too?"

"How can I be missing from the war, I am the champion of ladies!" Ryan laughed.

"Hahahaha~" The knights and nobles roared with laughter, yes, there is no war? What kind of knight?

A group of people walked towards the interior of the camp. The soldiers were arranged in ordinary tents, and the sturdy war horses lived in the stables. As for the knights, Julius had already built many spacious and comfortable rooms inside the camp. Big tent for the knights to live in.

The knights have all gone to arrange accommodation and distribute the various rations of the soldiers. Only the four knights of Ryan, Suria, Connery and Julius are walking towards the big tent with their entourage, half hair Marquis Connery of Bai asked first: "How is the situation, Julius?"

"It's not very good. We have repelled three waves of beastmen's offensive in the past two months." Julius was not wearing armor, and he motioned for several people to change into light clothes before saying, "I have already arranged the residence. , we will meet again in the big tent later.”

It is really not suitable to sit together and discuss things under full armor.

As the Holy Grail Knight, Ryan got a separate tent. This place is also shaded by trees, so it is not easy to be exposed to the sun.

Thirty minutes later, several people who had changed into light clothes sat in the big tent again.

Julius and Marquis Connery sat on one side of the wooden table, and Ryan and Suria sat on the other side of the wooden table. On the wooden table was a huge map, which carefully marked the entire Arden Forest The terrain and surrounding towns also have campsites.

"Since June of this year, the signs of Beastmen's activities have become more and more frequent. Since I arrived here, the Varemi camp has faced the Beastmen's beast tide three times, but they were all repelled by the knights." Yuli Uth pointed to the edge of the map.

Where his finger was located was the Varemi camp.

"So how did our Marquis of Glasgow plan to fight this war?" Marquis Connery asked. This Marquis is not very good at war, and he is more willing to listen to other people's ideas.

"The Marquis himself arrived at the Varemi camp in early August, and led his knights to wait for the assembly of the chivalry army." Julius said in a deep voice: "The Marquis plans to enter the forest first after all the troops are assembled. , arrived at Ursen Castle, and then directly attacked the Demon Rock in the depths of the forest."

"Ulsen Castle? Who is guarding it now?" Ryan saw that Ulsen Castle was located in the Arden Forest, about 70 kilometers away from the Varemi camp.

"Yourson Castle is now garrisoned by a hundred knights and more than 2,000 infantry from the Principality of Lyonnaise. The person in charge is the Earl of Adelaide, a subordinate of the Duke of Lyonnasay. A few days ago, there was information that Yule Mori Castle was attacked by Beastmen several times, but the defenders persisted tenaciously."

Ursen Castle is well-defended, with a large number of defensive equipment, and there are enough defenders, so it is not surprising that it can be defended. Several people nodded.

"After the scouts and rangers scouted at all costs, we confirmed that the Wanmo Rock is located in the depths of the Arden Forest about 200 kilometers away from Ursen Castle." Julius stretched out his finger in the Arden Forest. The depths are heavy: "This is our goal of this war, to destroy the Beastmen camp near Wanmo Rock!"

"When will we start marching?" Ryan then asked, suddenly realizing a problem.

All the troops who came to serve brought forty days of food, but some dukes' troops arrived first, and some dukes' troops arrived later. It is now mid-August, which means that the first troops to arrive have already been consumed. Food for about ten days.

"Except that the Duke of Berleon, who is fighting the Estalia army, will not send troops, the army of chivalry is still waiting for the army of the Duke of Carcassonne and the army of the Duke of Palaion in the south." Julius continued: " Maybe... a few more days."

"Then there is not much time left for the army to march." Ryan's face was a little gloomy. If it takes a few more days, it means that food will be consumed for a few more days, so there is really not enough time.

"By the way, brother, Your Excellency Connery, Your Excellency Ryan." The female knight said hesitantly: "Father said...Winford's army may not be reused in this war, I hope everyone be careful."

"In short, after the long journey, everyone should rest for a while and wait for the notification from the Marquis of Anxi!"

"Ok!"

At the same time, the main camp of the Knight Road Army.

A handsome young nobleman was enjoying his lunch. The table was filled with various fruits, white bread, meat, and many condiments.

This nobleman has dazzling blond hair, slender phoenix eyes, blue eyes, and a fair face, but now this face is a little impatient and frizzy. After pestering the king for a long time, he finally became the knight of this time. The commander in chief of the war, but when he led his army to the camp with great interest, he found that most of the army had not yet arrived.

This poured cold water on the young Marquis, who had to wait patiently for the arrival of other principality troops.

After gulping down a glass of red wine, he shouted outside: "Come here!"

"My marquis?" Immediately a knight-errant came in from outside.

"How many people are here today?"

"About two thousand people are here today! My Marquis." The knight replied in response: "Winford's army has also arrived."

"Winford? Well, then the remaining armies of Palaon and Carcassonne have not arrived. What are they doing? I wonder if this is the most important war in recent years! We are going straight to the Demon Rock Yes!" said the Marquis Anchi impatiently.

No wonder the marquis was impatient. He arrived here in early August. He thought he would finally have a chance to do a big job and win the attention of the lady, but he was tied up because of some late arrival troops and waited for ten days in vain. time.

"Our messengers have already contacted Carcassonne's army, and they should arrive in a few days. As for the Duke of Palaion's army, we haven't heard of it yet," the knight continued.

"Then let's wait for Carcassonne's army to arrive and get ready to go. Palaion's army won't wait for them." The Marquis immediately made a decision: "If we wait any longer, the food will be gone."

"yes!"

The Marquis of Anxi suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to ask if the Marquis of Suria was here. Thinking of the beautiful figure of the female knight, he felt a little regretful.

It doesn't matter, as long as I fight well in this chivalry war, there will be more opportunities in the future, and if Surya can't, I still have more choices.

The Marquis began to stand on the map and observe the map. After more than a month of thinking, he and his courtiers had formulated an effective strategic plan, a strategic plan that he thought was perfect.

…………

Five days later, as the army of the Principality of Carcassonne arrived at the Varemi camp, the knightly army officially announced the completion of its assembly.

This army consists of 300 kingdom knights, more than 1,800 ranger knights, more than 3,000 rangers, sergeants, and more than 16,000 infantry.

Coupled with the support staff and various family members accompanying the army, the number of this army of chivalry has reached more than 40,000.

Britannia claims to have assembled an army of 100,000.

The camp also began to become more and more crowded. There was constant friction between the armies of the principality who had a bad relationship with each other. The young ranger knights began to fight all day long. The experienced knights of the kingdom did not stop them, but seemed to be happy to see this scene.

For the past few days, Ryan stayed in the camp and lived in a simple way. Most of the time, he hid in his camp and read books, and exercised his spiritual power by the way.

After testing his psychic power armor, Ryan discovered a serious problem.

His set of power armor is specially made, it is lighter than ordinary power armor, and it is easy to put on and take off. From the outside, it is not much different from normal knight plate armor.

However, as a special psionic powered armor, just like the Nemesis on his back, Ryan wearing this suit will also consume a lot of his physical strength and spiritual energy, and if he wears this set of power armor and uses Nemesis at the same time, it is Double consumption.

He couldn't last long in this state.

Ryan knew why, the emperor wanted to exercise his ability to use psychic energy, so he specially ordered the great sage not to have built-in energy for the power armor.

It's just that my son always feels like he's been tricked again.

The baron wanted to try his power armor again, but Suria pulled up the curtain of the tent: "Your Excellency Ryan?"

"Good morning, Miss Suria?"

"The Marquis of Anxi informed all of us to participate in the pre-military meeting, Your Excellency Ryan."

"Okay, I'll come now."
