Chapter 1248, Korona, Danger!
Latest URL: Just when Katalin was trying to find Aurora for medical treatment, Olika walked in from the outside. The dark elves were full of smiles, and seeing Aurora's appearance, Aurora's face There was a strange expression on her face, she seemed to want to say something, but she couldn't say it at all.
"Are you...the Dark Spirit Goddess?" Seeing that her question was interrupted, the female czar was very displeased: "Has no one taught you the most basic manners? How could you just walk into the tent without asking?" ? Get out, we have something to discuss!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that the whole program has been a little loose during the three years I have been away." Olika ignored Katarin at all, and she directly raised the staff of Erth towards Aurora, a purple rose The flower gave off a coquettish light: "Kneel down, sow!"
"No...you..."
"What's going on, what happened?"
"Another Ice Witch? Well, it looks like a good 'experiment'. You are very lucky, Your Majesty Katarin. I brought a lot of new good things from Naggaroth. You are blessed." Olika's joyful voice sounded.
The purple light is brighter.
The next day, Katarin woke up and found herself lying on the luxurious big bed in the tent wearing only Aurora's nightdress and a pair of thin meat silk pantyhose, while Aurora and Teresa had already Disappear.
Strange, after dinner last night, I chatted with Aurora, I asked her for medicine, what happened after that?
Why can't I always remember?
Just as the female tsarina was about to look for it, she felt a tingling sensation in her mind.
"Forget it, I'll find a chance to talk about it next time. I'm so tired. Let's sleep for a while."
What's even more strange is that this sleep took another whole day. It was not until the third morning that Aurora and Teresa were brought back by Olika. Like... dolls?
However, Aurora and Teresa quickly returned to normal, and the three ice witches went to visit the scenery of the Palaion peaks together, talking and laughing, leaving Olika smiling and silent.
When Palaon's Ryan seized the time to rest and reorganize the army.
Back in time to the day when the siege of Palaion was untied, at the beginning of 2524 in the Imperial Calendar, the capital of the Knight Kingdom was Kurona.
at this very moment,
The whole of Corona has become a mess.
News came from the front line that a Slaanesh army of 50,000 men had landed on the Krona Road, led by Prince Sigwald, the champion of Slaanesh's God's Choice! He swore that he was coming for revenge. He would capture Korona and kill all the people in Korona, and then he would stuff his big sculpture into the golden cup of the Holy Grail Cathedral and take a pee. .
And Krona has no leader at this time, and the regent of the Kingdom, Lawn, is currently in Carcassonne to transfer supplies, resume production, and settle the victims. Knight King Ryan and Knight Queen Suria are not there, and what is worse is Krona's elite defenders. All of them have been dispatched to the south. Now, as a giant city with a permanent population of 250,000, there are less than 10,000 conscripts in Krona's defenders and nearby conscripts.
Prince Sigwald is less than 150 kilometers away from Krona at this time, and he will be directly at the city within 6 days. As the news spread to the capital, Krona has fallen into a complete panic. The avenues leading to the west and the south are full of fleeing carriages. It seems that the thousand-year-old capital has inevitably fallen, and the order in the city is also in chaos. Various rumors are constantly circulating, and people are panicking.
Our Sun King! where are you Brittany needs you!
At the critical moment, Queen Suria of the Knights and Marshal Karard miraculously appeared near the city, followed by 400 old guards.
"Pass my order!" Suria rode on the horse, and the heroic knight Ji wore the silver armor of Iselama blessed by the lake god and held the holy sword angel alliance. After giving the order, Surya held the king's scepter in her hand, and behind the knight Ji, the sun was emitting faint heat.
"Kalad!"
"Here!" The fully armed and valiant Karard took a step forward.
"Immediately take fifty dragoons, take your marshal's scepter, and take over the defense of the Kurona barracks and the entire city! Those who resist, behead!"
"Yes!" Callard hurried away with the others.
"Bertrand, Raymond!"
"exist!"
"You each bring a hundred old guards. Bertrand takes over the Krona Palace, and Raymond takes over all the warehouses and grain depots to prevent any riots! If there is any abnormality, behead!"
"Yes!" Bertrand and Raymond left one after another.
"The rest, come with me!" Surya swung her long sword, and her bright golden long curly hair spread out like the wings of a phoenix. The Queen of Knights shouted coquettishly, then got on her horse and led the remaining old guards Rushing into the city, galloping along the main road, the bright red, white and blue tricolor banner was raised by the Queen of Knights, fluttering in the bitter air, but igniting the whole city.
"It's the tricolor of the Old Guard!"
"That's Queen Suria!"
"Our queen is back, our queen is back!"
"Her Majesty has not abandoned her people."
"Long live the queen!"
The city was boiling, and the residents took to the streets, shaking their fists, and shouting long live the queen.
The chaotic situation in Korona temporarily calmed down.
Suria first entered the Korona Palace to fully take over all internal affairs and resumed the palace's operations. Then the Knight Queen immediately led a few entourages directly into the Korona branch of the Holy Grail Knights, announcing that all the remaining Holy Grails are under orders. She, in the end she went directly to the Holy Grail Cathedral, demanding to use all the wealth in the Holy Grail Cathedral and to enlist all the lake god prophets.
Every request of the Sun Queen was met.
Even so, the situation is still not optimistic. On the afternoon when Suria took control of the entire Kurona, the Queen of Knights waited for Karard in the royal garden of the Kurona Palace, and there was a tiger-headed tiger following behind Karard's ass. Devonhill, the young baron was fully armed, with a wood elf tempered rune sword hanging on his waist. Seeing Suria arriving, Devonhill quickly called out: "Mother."
"Devin?" Suria looked at Devonhill, her son had grown into a strong boy unknowingly, the Sun Queen reached out and rubbed Devonhill's black hair twice, revealing a Smile: "Why are you here?"
"Lilith... Ms. asked me to come and fight with my mother, while Sister Nestella and Sister Arohan returned to the Great Forest temporarily, and King Orion summoned them back." Devonhill nodded, and Ryan's youngest son looked Eager to try: "Mom, I heard that Frey's stinky brother has done a lot of things in the past few years. He has played more than a hundred battles against Beastmen alone. I want to..."
"What a stinky brother, that's your brother!" Su Liya was so angry that she hammered Devonhill on the head. The younger son immediately covered his head, and when he wanted to hammer the second time, Devonhill avoided it. A: "I will not lose to Frey!"
You have lost to him now! Suria twitched the corner of her mouth secretly, but the blond knight Ji immediately became competitive. Yes, my son, how could it be worse than Emilia's little maid's son?
"Kalad, what's the situation?" The most urgent task is to defend Korona in front of the 50,000 Slaanesh army. Suria's heart is ruthless, and the knight Ji is determined that she must defend Korona no matter what.
"The situation is not very good, Your Majesty." Callard's face was ugly, and Marshal Britannia told Suria about the situation of the Korona City Defense Force.
As Suria predicted, the current city defense army of Krona has less than 10,000 people, and because all the elites have been transferred away, most of the rest are old, weak, sick, and semi-professional urban standing troops. Corps, Karard spent half a day reviewing the army, leaving only sighs.
"How many soldiers can go to fight the Chaos army in the field, Karad, report the number to me." In the middle of speaking, Suria and Ryan waved their hands to signal Karad to report the number, and the golden eyebrows of the Queen of Knights frowned. .
The Courona Plain is one of the most quintessential and richest core areas in Brittania. Defending the city is always the worst policy. The Queen of Knights knows that she must defeat the Chaos army through field battles as much as possible, otherwise she will be defeated by the city wall. After the Chaos army was defeated, all the manors outside the city were also destroyed.
"I took a look. There are probably only two battalions of the Lion Guards carefully organized by the Duke of Lawn, the Royal Palace Guard Corps, and those in the garrison who are responsible for the daily duty and patrol of the city, and clean up nearby towns... Armed tax collectors The army, the free folk rangers, the royal charter longbowmen, the left-behind artillery battalion, and the newly reorganized Le-Angourant Marine Corps." Callard did not hesitate: "According to the judgment of my subordinates, only these troops are capable of following The Chaos army is fighting in the field, including the 400 old guards we brought this time, the total is only..."
"How much?" Surya's tone was cold, and she spoke exactly like Ryan.
"Almost 3,300 people."
"That's all?"
"My queen, if you want to follow the standard of being able to fight against chaos, then there are only these, and the rest will be sent to die." Karard also told the truth, and the marshal did not give an inch: "This is your request, I'm just answering your question."
"Very good." Surya gracefully took the black tea from the maid's silver plate, and took a sip: "It's about the same as my calculation, Karade, you've made great progress."
Callard's heart trembled suddenly. The queen had already estimated how many soldiers were available without even conducting a field survey?
"My lord, there are 50,000 enemies, and we only have 3,300." Bertrand said anxiously: "In this case, it is unlikely that we will go out to fight in the field, and the gap is too big."
"Yes, Your Majesty, why don't we consider how to defend the city?" Lei Meng also said.
Surya just shook her head.
Callard, Bertrand, and Raymond are all soldiers. They only think about whether they can win and how to reduce losses. They calculate military accounts, but Suria is different. Suria is the queen who exercises the royal power on behalf of Ryan. Human beings are the helmsman of the knight kingdom. In addition to military accounts, she must first settle political accounts.
The political account is that if you can't come up with it anyway, you can consider defending the city. Suppose Prince Sigwald besieges but does not attack, and plunders all the surrounding areas of Krona? If the Kurona Plain were to suffer such a catastrophe, not only would the economy and food production in the northern part of the Knight Kingdom be devastated, but more importantly, the nobles down to the serfs would lose confidence.
Faith in the last moment.
Standing in the palace, the Queen of Knights was silent for a minute, and she suddenly walked outside: "Come on, I will hold a grand afternoon tea party tomorrow, please send my invitation letter to everyone in Korona. Go to the home of the noble knight! Whether you are still there or not, you must send my invitation letter to your home! I will write the invitation letter now."
"Yes!" The servant ordered.
Suria strode outside, Calade, Bertrand and Raymond, as well as the Holy Grail Knight Commander Eugen of the Holy Grail Knights stationed in the Korona branch, and the Korona general Louis-Vey appointed by Lawn. Se-Moro, you look at me, I look at you, and you don't know what Suria is going to do.
General Moro was the Korona guard chief appointed by Lawn. Although he was dissatisfied with Karad directly rushing into his barracks to seize power, it was Karard! Callad's prestige is too high, General Moreau not only obediently obeyed the order, handed over all the command of the army, but also followed: "My Marshal, Marshal Roland on the front line still has 3000 troops. We fought."
"We can't count on those 3,000 people." Callard shook his head violently. If Marshal Roland retreated, it would be a real military disaster.
"But apart from these people, there is no army in Kurona that can fight against the Chaos army." Raymond said anxiously. The qualifications and strength of this Holy Grail guard obviously surpassed that of General Moro. General Moro watched The light of the lake god on Raymond's body and his red eyes knew that this was an old guard who drank the water from the Holy Grail, so he could only shut up.
"Who said there is no one." Devonhill said, and the young baron smiled: "There is a large group of elite lion guards hidden in mother's sleeves!"
"The Lion Guard?" Bertrand didn't understand: "But... where is the army?"
"There is no army now, but mother's influence is not lacking at all, and now is the time to use it." Devon Hill said with a smile: "Tomorrow, let's watch my mother do tricks and create an army that can fight against chaos." !"
……… I am the dividing line of the juggler………
Korona is still desperately trying to concentrate the army and discuss how to defend against the enemy.
Field Marshal Roland-Marshall's Britannian frontier guards were entering their final hours.
On the border castle, Marshal Roland was fully armed. He was soaked in blood. His shield was covered with sword marks and ax marks. Half of the lion statue on his helmet was cut off. There were less than 1,000 people left around him. The forces of Chaos stretched from horizon to horizon in numbers, and Prince Sigvald personally oversaw the battle with his Legion of Mirror Guards.
During this day, Marshal Roland led his army to repel the three attacks of the Slaanesh Army. Prince Sigwald was like hitting an iron plate and failed to break through the border castle, but with the fourth attack It is suggested that Marshal Roland's border guards are at the end of their battles.
"Marshal, what should we do?" Now there are less than 50 people left in the 300-person guard, and nine out of ten people were killed or injured.
Marshal Roland was silent for a few seconds. He opened a letter sealed with the Queen's ring, looked at the beautiful but sharp words on Suria, and looked around: "No need to say more, pass my order, Ma'am In the name of your name, let's fight until the last moment!"
"Yes!" The guards responded.
On the city wall, around the castle, and inside the city cave, there were shouts of killing.
After another two hours of bloody battle, the marshal was forced to withdraw into the castle with his personal guards.
Marshal Roland's left shoulder and arm were still dripping with blood, even gauze bandages could not stop it. He leaned on his sword and watched the battle quietly.
The surrounding guards and generals were still persuading, but heavy objects had collapsed and cheers from the Chaos army could be heard at the gate of the castle.
The defenders in the city all changed face.
"Marshal!!!" A guard shouted eagerly.
"Needless to say, show me the commander-in-chief flag! In the name of a lady, I will fight to the last moment!" Marshal Roland roared.
"Yes!!!" The surrounding guards let out a final roar.
The fighting continued for over an hour.
At the end of the battle, only two or three hundred soldiers remained in the inner fort, still resisting.
Prince Sigvald personally led the magic mirror guards into the messy castle. The champion of Slaanesh was very surprised by the bravery of the defenders and offered to surrender.
be rejected.
The champion of Slaanesh God's Chosen suddenly felt his face was damaged, and he immediately ordered a general attack.
Relying on the artillery and mechanisms of the inner castle, as well as the strong gate, Marshal Roland resisted for tens of minutes. At the last moment of the battle, when the defenders were driven into the fairy chapel in the lake in the inner castle, there were only three soldiers left. Forty people.
Prince Sigwald offered to surrender again, but was rejected again.
Seeing the warriors of Slaanesh rushing into the chapel, Marshal Roland burst into tears. He clenched his broken sword, prayed silently to the fairy in the lake, and recalled his life.
He knew that he was not Ryan's direct descendant, not even Lawn's direct descendant. He was not very trusted, and he was arranged to undertake border defense duties in the desolate and bitterly cold place of the Korona Road all year round. He stayed there for thirty years. However, Ryan canonized him as a marshal only out of his old seniority's political considerations and to appease the northern knights and nobles. He did not participate in any of Ryan's great expeditions, nor was he transferred once. Everyone seemed to have forgotten him.
He could only be conscientious, and did not dare to neglect in the past 30 years. His family wanted him to propose a transfer more than once, but Marshal Roland refused. He knew exactly where his value was.
Even if it is not trusted, even if it is not reused, even if it is arranged in a bitter cold place for a full thirty years.
Madam, Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Queen.
I, Roland Marshall, am here today to serve the Kingdom of Knights with my allegiance!
In the late January of 2524 in the imperial calendar, in the afternoon, Marshal Roland Marshall of Britannia and his 3000 Britannian border guards were all killed in the border castle of the Kingdom of Knights.
