Chapter 311, Different Oracles
?When the Britannian knights were retreating in chaos and haste, the Holy Grail Knight Eisen led his remaining 100 knights and more than 2,000 infantry, and was responsible for breaking the rear.
They were quickly overwhelmed by the tide of barbarians. The Holy Grail Knight Eisen didn't care, he was still waving his sharp sword, constantly charging and killing in the barbarian army.
Gradually, the number of knights around him became less and less. The Holy Grail Knight Eisen was surrounded by barbarians. The spear attacked him insidiously from the side and rear. Eisen tried his best to pull the spear out of his body, and more Chaos God's Chosen warriors surrounded him, and several halberds pierced into his body. The anger caused the Holy Grail Knight to swing his sword and slay several Chaos Chosen Warriors.
Now, Eisen was panting heavily, his consciousness began to be a little fuzzy, he was beheading and killing alone in the barbarian army in a daze, but he was recalling the memory of him as a child in his mind.
He was born in an aristocratic family in Lyonnaise, and he has been a devout lady believer since he was a child. From childhood, he swore to become a glorious Holy Grail Knight.
He spent his whole life in tempering and asceticism, and finally got the lady's approval during the twenty-year expedition, and drank the water of the Holy Grail.
Everything was given to me by the lady, and now I will use everything I have to repay the lady.
A battle ax struck from the side, and the battle ax brutally interrupted Eisen's memories. The Holy Grail knight Eisen, who had been injured in many places, still seemed unstoppable. Chanting the holy name of the nymph of the lake: "For the lady!"
The shining sword blade was radiant, and he broke through the defense of a Chaos God's Chosen Warrior, and the sword pierced deeply into his chest.
At the same time, a tomahawk gave him a fatal blow behind him, and Egil's cruel face appeared in front of him.
So consciousness gradually blurred until far away.
The last resistance has disappeared, and now there are only thousands of barbarians shouting victory. They occupy the camp before the knight army, and frantically scramble for the military supplies left by the knights. Materials, they sang loudly, shouting the name of the God of Darkness, thousands of heads were piled up by them into a huge altar, and they were going to perform a sacred sacrifice ceremony.
The chiefs of many small barbarian tribes dared not speak out against Egil's brutal actions. Their tribesmen suffered heavy casualties in today's battle. Although there were only more than 15,000 Britannian knights who fled back, there is no doubt that the nearly 9,000 heavy cavalry who fled back were all Britannian elites.
Egil's vision of completely defeating the main force of the knight army in the wild has not been fully realized.
But this is not important, the important thing is that the blood god Khorne watched the battle and rewarded his god-chosen champion. Egil found that his body was filled with more blessings and mutations from Khorne. Existence is evolving further.
That's enough to celebrate.
Now that the Bretons have retreated, he is one step away from making great achievements in the world and not being famous in the world, that is, the complete capture of Lyonnaise Castle. Egil noticed that Hengst's stomach was under the repeated blessing of the blood god It has become very large, and as long as the Lyonnaise Castle is captured, his son will be born.
He could return to Scalins with the army.
…………
The remaining army of knights fled day and night. After spending two days, they finally returned to Lyonnaise Castle. Now, only the high walls of the castle can give the knights a sense of security.
In the castle hall,
Dalhaide, the Duke of Leonese, was covered in bandages. His face was pale, and his left arm was hanging on his chest. Anara, the prophet of the lake god, and his court physician had just changed his medicine. All the storage was emptied, and a large number of wounded were waiting for treatment. Fortunately, the knights finally retreated without suffering devastating losses.
"Uh~" Sitting on the Duke's throne, Dalhaide panted hard. The sharp thorn of Egil's battle ax caused him a lot of damage, but it missed the vital point. The Duke could still bear this level of pain. It's just that it's impossible for him to give orders on horseback again: "Yules, the city defense for this period of time is up to you."
"There are two thousand old, weak, sick and disabled left in the city. Fortunately, we have withdrawn enough knights." Jules said with a serious face, and he said to Dalhaide: "My Duke, we must call for reinforcements immediately!"
"Reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements? Does the kingdom have any troops to mobilize now?" Dalhaide looked at Ures with a little hope in his eyes, and the Duke wondered if Ures had any other troops he could mobilize.
"South, the dukes in the south still have soldiers at their disposal. I have already contacted them. As long as we ask for help, Earl Lane's army will immediately support us!" Jules showed Lane's letter to Dalhaide.
"... Ryan?" Hearing Ryan's name, Dalhaide frowned subconsciously. He and Richard belonged to the same faction, and he really didn't like Ryan very much.
However, thinking that the matter had come to such a critical moment and that he was seriously injured, Dalhaide couldn't help but fell into hesitation.
Callard, who was sitting next to Jules, was secretly anxious. He thought to himself, what is Duke Dalhaide still hesitating about? !
If Dalhaide, the Duke of Leonnasay, does not allow it, then even if Ryan wants to support him, he will not be able to enter the Principality's borders. This is called illegal entry, and it will cause very serious diplomatic disputes.
"Well, there is nothing we can do now." Dalhaide finally nodded: "Ules, I will leave this matter to you. I will allow Ryan and his army to enter my territory temporarily."
The knights in the castle were relieved after hearing this. Ryan's prestige resounded throughout the kingdom, and his army was extremely sophisticated, and he also had the support of several dukes in the south. get the most relief.
After a few people said a few words, the topic returned to the defense of the castle.
Lyonnasay Castle is a castle near the sea, covering a large area. The castle is built of very strong rocks and spent a lot of money to ask dwarves to guide it. It is strong enough to resist trebuchets and imperial artillery, but the knights have seen Chaos Hell The power of the cannon, they know that the castle is still difficult to resist the attack of the chaos hell cannon.
More importantly, Lyonnasay Castle has not experienced war for nearly 500 years.
"We can't be trapped in the city. The firepower of the Chaos Hell Cannon will overwhelm us. We must find a way to destroy the Chaos Hell Cannon, otherwise the city will also fall." A Holy Grail Knight whispered. The two Holy Grail knights died in battle, and the battle flag of Shirruf was cut off, and the people in the city were panicking.
"That's right, the Chaos Hell Cannon is a huge threat to the city wall." Jules' blue eyes exuded the anger of the goddess, and the anger in his heart was as endless as the fire of a dragon. The battle of Nanzi The failure was considered a great shame by Jules: "We must find a way to destroy the Chaos Hellcannon."
"Destroy the Chaos Hell Cannon? But how do we destroy it?" Dalhaide was seriously injured and can't move now. He felt his mind was muddled, so he could only continue to turn to the Holy Grail Knight Commander for help.
"Anara's magic will protect us, so... I have a plan." Jules said to everyone, "We need to choose the twenty most powerful knights in the castle..."
Ulles speaks out of his plan.
"Hmm~"
…………
It took the barbarians three days to continue southward after a brief celebration. They stopped and camped only ten kilometers away from Lyonnasay Castle. Afterwards, a grand banquet was held in a ruined village. The barbarians took out a large amount of seized grain and the fine wine hoarded by the Bretanians, and ate and drank wantonly.
Egil sat on the main seat, his pale eyes radiated blood-red light, and he drank glasses of ale into his belly. Chaos champion Kovindev presented him with a roasted beef leg, and Egil laughed loudly Well, the southerners may indeed have some strength, but they have already reached the castle of Lyonnaise. The huge and towering castle has been completely exposed to the sight of the barbarians. Tomorrow, his army will attack the castle of Lyonnaise. Raze this proud building to the ground and completely destroy it.
Just as the barbarians lit the bonfire wantonly, celebrated under the dark night sky, and held a banquet, the barbarian camp suddenly began to mist. All the barbarians didn't care. They continued to drink and have fun, and even competed with each other Many barbarian warriors have captured enough heads in this war. They are evolving towards Chaos Warriors. Many Chaos Warriors have been upgraded to Chaos God's Chosen Warriors. Black lumps appear on their body surfaces. Over time, these black lumps It will automatically grow into chaos armor, so the barbarians never worry about their armor, everything is bestowed by the God of Chaos.
As a Chaos Chosen continues to progress through gaining the favor of the Fiend, they both become Chaos Champions.
At this time, the woman with a big belly held a golden cup filled with clear wine. She appeared at the banquet with a sway, and then presented the glass of fine wine to Egil : "My warrior, greatest king of Scalins, please let us drink this cup to the brim, and may you and our children live long and healthy."
Egil was in a state of elation at this time, and the champion of Khorne's God's Choice dismissed this woman, Hangst, but her toast was just at the right time. Egil, who had just won a big victory, had no reason to refuse, He happily took the wine glass, and then swallowed it in one gulp: "I wish our children a long and healthy life! Hahahaha!"
Seeing that Egil drank the glass of wine, Henggst's eyes flashed, and she drank another glass with Egil, and then pretended to be overwhelmed, chose to retreat, and disappeared into the mist.
Egil didn't take it seriously, he signaled the barbarians to continue eating and drinking, and he also picked up a cow leg and gnawed wantonly.
The barbarians sang the song of the Berserker of Blood, a barbarian berserker named Gnut, who in countless ages gave enough gifts to the Brazen Throne of Khorne with countless heads, and In the end, he became a demon and became a terrible demon prince.
Becoming a demon prince is the dream of all barbarians. Becoming a demon prince means a real transformation from "mortal" to "god". From then on, they will gain great power and real immortality, although no one knows that becoming a demon Whether the prince will retain the memory and self-awareness of the mortal in the future, but there is no doubt that becoming a demon prince is the highest standard reward given by the dark god to his followers, and the lowly southerners cannot understand this kind of reward.
Gnut's story continued, but Chaos Wizard Chakoy felt that the fog in the camp was a bit unusual. He turned his head and said to Egil, "Father, the fog is so heavy, it's a bit strange."
Egil held the wine glass and remained motionless.
"Father?!" Chakoy suddenly realized that Egil's situation was wrong, and he quickly shook Egil's arm: "Father! What's wrong with you?"
"Ugh~" Egil struggled in pain, a lot of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth: "Wine... wine, poisonous!"
"Poisonous?!" After thinking about it, Chakois changed his face drastically. It was Hengst, and the glass of wine she offered to Egil was poisonous!
"Come on! Defend the king!" Chakoy yelled suddenly, and he signaled the scarlet guards to come up and defend the king in the middle: "The king is poisoned!"
The entire barbarian army camp was in chaos, the scarlet guards came in the mist, they killed all the barbarians who stood between them and the king, and then defended the king, Chakoy checked the wine glass that Hangast was toasting, chaos The wizard gritted his teeth: "It's the screw root! This woman, the screw root she added is enough to poison our entire tribe!"
"Father, just wait, I'll prepare the antidote for you immediately!" Chakoy rushed towards the big tent without thinking.
Egil nodded in pain. The God-Chosen Champion of Khorne was very tenacious, and the blessing from Khorne ensured that he would not be so easily overwhelmed by the toxin.
In the wilderness not far from the barbarian camp, Hengst, this woman let out a mocking laugh.
The barbarians, the Egils, and the Bretons were just pawns in her hands, and this child belonged to her and only to her.
The great evil god, Slaanesh, Prince of Pleasure, has made a deal with her, and she will sacrifice the Son of Darkness in her womb to Slaanesh in exchange for eternal youth.
This is the oracle she received. The stupid Egil thought that the oracle received by the two people was the same, but in fact it was completely different. This is the usual trick of the gods of chaos. , but also enjoying the process.
However, after walking not far, she found herself surrounded.
The Holy Grail Knight Commander Jules led fifty knights under the invisibility magic of the lake god prophet Anara and the dense fog created, easily sneaked into the barbarian camp, and destroyed the two chaos hell cannons.
Things went smoothly unexpectedly. Jules didn't know why the barbarians were so chaotic that they didn't have a decent resistance at all, but he knew that once they realized what happened, they would launch a crazy counterattack, so he quickly evacuated.
The figure of Hengst fell into the eyes of Jules and the fifty knights, and they immediately realized how filthy her body was, and what kind of monster was conceived in her belly.
A Grail knight wanted to kill her on the spot.
But when the lake god prophet Anara and her younger brother, Earl Karard, saw Hengst's face clearly, the siblings screamed in disbelief.
