Chapter 244, The Battle of Turis Castle (Part 2)
"It's Your Excellency the Green Knight!"
"Green Knight, Your Excellency the Green Knight has come to support us!"
The Green Knight, Champion of the God of the Lake, the greatest of the Lady of the Lake's fighters, and protector of the Holy Land.
Countless myths can be written about his origin. Many people believe that he is the incarnation of the eight virtues of knights, and some people think that he is the spirit body of a certain dead legendary Holy Grail Knight.
The only thing people know is that thirty years after the founding of Brittania, the Green Knight began to appear on the land of the kingdom. He constantly guarded the shrines and holy places of the fairy of the lake in the kingdom. Shuttle, he haunts the mountain springs and waterfalls, he slaughters any enemy who dares to invade the holy land, splits the enemy's head with a long sword full of anger, and disappears quietly among the ancient trees after all the turmoil returns to calm.
At the same time, he is also the great mentor of the Holy Grail Knights. He uses his own way to test the knights, especially when the expeditionary knights sometimes encounter challenges from the green knights without warning during the journey of seeking the Holy Grail. danger of being killed.
"Go forward! Soldiers, don't be afraid of the darkness, I will fight side by side with you!" The green knight who rarely spoke suddenly spoke. He was wearing a green armor with dense ivy growing on it, his green horse and The long sword exuded a strong spiritual light, and the horse's hooves were raised high in everyone's eyes: "Go forward! For the lady!"
"Forward! For the lady!" The morale of Poldero's army was shaken, and the green knight took the lead. Any vampire attack would have no effect on this knight who had been fighting for hundreds of years. The pain blade in his hand swung up and down, continuously Two bloodthirsty bat wolves were killed by his sword, and the pressure on the Seagod Knights was greatly relieved. In one go, they beat the vampire army back again and again.
Boderick finally recovered his strength. He pulled out his long sword and led the Sea God Knight to launch a counter charge. Wherever the Green Knight passed, there was no undead that was his single enemy. He broke through the army of undead by himself.
A blood knight spotted the green knight. He shouted loudly, raised his spear full of filthy energy, and charged towards the green knight.
"Blade of Pain." Any ordinary weapon could not hurt the Green Knight, and many halberds even passed through his body. Seeing the blood knight rushing, the Green Knight raised his dark green blade.
The sword was bright enough to blind the eyes, and the blood knight's spear directly passed through the green knight's body, but the green knight's long sword cut through the blood knight's flesh, the blade flashed, and the blood knight's head fell to the ground.
As he rushed all the way, the Green Knight stabbed several Blood Knights with blood. He continued to castrate and pointed at the Red Duke in the middle army.
"It's the Green Knight!" The Blood Red Duke noticed that the Green Knight was rushing straight towards him.
Memories of the past came to mind again. When he was the Duke of Aquitaine, he had heard the legend of the Green Knight. The sword of the Duke of Aquitaine, and the oncoming green knight had a face-to-face confrontation.
The moment the blades intersected, the vampire army was as bright as day, and the nearby undead couldn't open their eyes at all, and the weaker zombies were directly and completely purified.
At the end of the confrontation, the green knights and horses kept rushing past the central army, and then disappeared into the mist with a flash of green light.
"Hmm!" The Red Duke snorted coldly, a crack appeared on his armor, obviously he was injured.
"Forward! For Mannan! For Poldero!" The Green Knight had just disappeared, and Boderick led the Poseidon Knights to arrive. The vampire army was routed. on top of them.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It shattered into a rain of blood, hundreds of Poseidon knights and thousands of ranger knights charged into battle, and the vampires retreated steadily.
The Scarlet Duke clutched the wound on his chest and had no choice but to order the army to retreat temporarily.
The horses neighed, the knights shouted, and the vampire formation was seriously shaken after being disturbed by the green knight. The charge of the sea god knight became the last straw that crushed the undead. The undead lost control on a large scale, and then exploded automatically into A cloud of blood mist, hordes of zombie legions and barren tomb guards completely dissipated like this, turning into dust.
Boderick led the Poseidon knights to break through the two armies, and then he quit as soon as he saw it, and led the knights back to the castle.
"The castle is guarded." Back in the castle, Boderick finally relaxed a little: "Francois will be arriving tomorrow."
"Yes, my lord, thank you Ma'am, thank Mannan." Lieutenant General Sir Howlf was also covered in blood, and his burqa was covered with various gaps.
"No, it's all thanks to Your Excellency the Green Knight." Boderick shook his head again and again, with a sigh in his expression: "If it hadn't been for the assistance of Your Excellency the Green Knight, I might have...you know, Horf, I really want to do it right now." Drop everything and walk the path of the Holy Grail."
"My duke, Bordereau cannot do without your wise leadership."
"I know... rest, I'm a little tired."
"yes."
After Holff went out, Boderick raised his head, and there was a portrait hanging on the wall behind him.
It was the scene of Marcus, the first Duke of Boldrow, dueling with the champion of chaos, Svengar. On the huge tower, Marcus, the first generation of the Holy Grail knight, was brandishing a long sword and bravely dueling the champion of chaos.
The power of the ancestors made Boderick stronger, and his will became stronger.
The ancestors can become Holy Grail Knights, and so can I.
…………
At noon the next day, Francois arrived with reinforcements. The two thousand reinforcements greatly relieved the pressure on Duke Boldroux. Boderick personally led the Sea God Knights out of the city and brought the reinforcements in. .
After a short rest, François and Boderick met on the city wall in the evening.
The two dukes looked at the army of undead outside the castle. Even after a night of fighting, the army of undead showed no signs of diminishing. Standing on the tall city wall, Francois could see the blood-stained walls and the battlefield alone. Knowing how hard the battle has been: "The vampire attack is amazing, we must find a way to defeat the Scarlet Duke."
"Thanks, François, I'm very glad that you can bring someone to support me." Boderick felt a little better after a day's rest. Rancois said: "It's just that our number is still too small, is there any movement from other dukes?"
Francois shook his head: "Berhemond's reinforcements are still on the way. They encountered sporadic sniper attacks from undead knights, and they won't be able to arrive in a short time."
"Heh~ This is our king. I can bet that if Turis Castle falls and I retreat to Bodleix, our king will definitely start preparing to support me." The fine lines at the corners of Boderick's eyes widened. , he is nearly ten years older than Francois, but Francois is already a Holy Grail Knight, he looks only thirty years old, and Boderick's appearance is already close to forty years old.
"Now is not the time to discuss this, Boderick." Francois was very calm: "The Red Duke's offensive won't last long, and this kind of attack will be a waste for us, but it will be a heavy burden on his mana. and……"
"It's not good! Your Excellency the Duke!" A soldier on the city wall hurried over: "A new army has appeared! Two siege towers have also appeared!"
"It seems that the reinforcements of the vampires are coming." Francois brought his son Julius, a large group of Winford family knights with blue background and white stripes, and a group of blue and yellow Sea God knights along the city wall. Above the city gate.
In the distance, a group of hundreds of undead knights joined the vampire army. In addition, two temporary siege towers stood about two kilometers away from the castle.
"It's the siege towers." Boderick said with a serious face, "Why are you still standing there? Use the trebuchet immediately to destroy those siege towers!"
"My lord, the trebuchet doesn't have enough range, we can't hit those two siege towers!" replied the sergeant.
"No, bows and arrows can't destroy the siege towers. If we let those two siege towers get close to the city wall, we will definitely lose. The soldiers can't stop so many enemies." Boderick frowned, and he pointed at the distant A large group of undead knights and a team of blood knights: "Obviously, this is a trap. If we go out of the city and try to destroy these siege weapons, the undead knights will definitely fight us."
"The siege tower is too far from here, my duke, the longest range of the trebuchet is 800 meters." The sergeant said to Bo Derick: "We can't hit that far!"
The huge siege tower is about fifteen meters high. Amid the advance of dozens of zombies and barren grave guards, the siege tower is moving slowly. The surface of the siege tower is covered with animal skins and tarpaulins. Obviously defense rockets.
The two dukes reached a consensus: "This thing must not be allowed near the castle."
"Dwarf, where's your heavy cannon? Bring it to me!" François yelled, "We need artillery!"
"Come here!" While a dozen people were struggling to carry, the dwarf's heavy cannon was gradually being carried up the city wall, and the dwarf engineer Dugan-Tiehan held his beard: "Come on, my Duke, where do you want me to fight?" ?”
"Just hit that siege tower? Can you hit it?" Boderick was surprised that there were dwarves appearing in Winford's army, but he couldn't control that much anymore. The Duke tried his best to point at the two towers and advance side by side. The siege tower, try to speak clearly: "That's the one! Can you beat it?"
"Wait a minute! Wait a moment!" Dugan thought to himself that the knights in Brittania were so rough, the dwarf engineer gave a thumbs up to the siege tower, and then narrowed his eyes: "The distance is about One thousand two hundred meters!"
Both Francois and Boderick looked at the dwarf engineer expectantly.
After ten seconds of comparison, Dugan shouted: "Yes, brothers, adjust the position! The elevation angle is thirty-seven degrees and twenty-one minutes!"
The dwarves accompanying the army nervously adjusted the muzzle of the heavy cannon. The wooden box was opened, and the round black cast iron shells inside were taken out by the dwarf's dirty hands, and then put into the barrel of the cannon.
After everything was ready, Dugan shouted: "Fire!"
"Fire!!!" The dwarf's heavy cannon made a heavy muffled sound, and the black shells shot straight away with thick smoke, causing a gust of wind.
"Crack!" The bottom of the siege tower on the right was hit by a shell, and a huge hole was blown out of the improvised siege tower made of wood and stone, and wooden blocks and stones splashed everywhere in the air. It fell like raindrops.
"Creak creak~" The lower part of the siege tower that was blown out of a big hole can no longer support the gravity above it and the large number of barren grave guards standing on the top ready to climb the city. It made a distorted sound of being crushed. After many wooden pillars, it collapsed.
"Beautiful!" Boderick shouted happily when he saw the siege tower on the right was smashed into pieces.
"Isn't it? The dwarves are always the best." The dwarf engineer Dugan-Tiehan's old face was a little red, and he stroked his beard triumphantly, ready to swallow some secrets into his stomach.
He was actually aiming at the siege tower on the left: "Let's continue!"
"fire!!!"
