Chapter 528, Oath of Victory
Matthew Bard once thought that once the city gate was broken, victory was close at hand.
Although he fought for a day and a night and was finally close to retaking the Spire Palace, this Mu Xilong's poisonous snake didn't have any joy in his heart. On the contrary, something called anxiety was always tormenting his heart.
Ryan's army is close to losing more than half, but what about Matthew Bud?
Of the more than 28,000 undead army drawn from Mu Xilong, more than 12,000 undead army fell in front of the city wall of the Spire Palace.
This heavy loss made Matthew Bard really unable to have a little bit of joyful thoughts. His fierce attack regardless of the cost resulted in astonishing casualties. Several of Mu Xilong's last remaining blood knights also fell on the city wall. The two The Black Grail Knight also died, and the power flowed back into his body.
He had no choice. Tactically, Matthew Budd, who had an absolute superiority in numbers, could have been besieged without attacking, and he could grind slowly, but strategically, the Spire Palace had to be recaptured, and it had to be done within a very short period of time. Take it back immediately, so Matthew Bard can only attack at any cost.
Yes, no matter the cost.
But after breaking through the city gate, Matthew Bud looked at the street inside the castle in front of him, the corners of his eyes twitching slightly.
The streets in the entire Spire Palace have now been transformed into iron barrels by dwarf craftsmen and engineers in a short period of time! The sorceress Teresa led the apprentice witches of the ice department to create a large number of ice walls, mixed with dwarven architecture, and blocked the entire street! Just after the undead army entered the castle, the rain of arrows and the salvo of muskets caused them heavy losses!
Ryan and his army are already ready for street fighting!
After the remaining human army and dwarf army retreated into the street in an orderly manner, a new line of defense was built. Before Matthew Bud gave an order, a volley of muskets immediately took away hundreds of undead.
"Come on! Mu Xilong's poisonous snake! Come to your grandfather Dugan!" The dwarf engineer Dugan-Tiehan continued to shout from behind the fortification: "I am your grandfather! You are the son of your horse!"
"Damn dwarves! I must use your skull as a bowl!" Matthew Bud was enraged, and he vowed hatred, but he did not personally lead the undead army to charge.
After all, Mousilon's poisonous snake was still a little afraid of Ryan, especially after seeing Ryan defeat the champion of the four gods of chaos Gul, Matthew Bard was still afraid of Ryan. He gave up attacking himself, but ordered the undead to move on.
Frost Nova! Teresa released the ice-type magic, and the sorceress' face turned pale. Fortunately, it was still winter, and the ice-type witch could directly replenish mana from the environment.
Dugan Tiehan behind the fortification saw that Matthew Bud hadn't come over, and the dwarf yelled dissatisfiedly: "Damn, this guy didn't come over! I want to give his Sima face a taste of this!"
The dozen or so dwarves after the fortifications each held a grenade. They wanted to trick Matthew Bud into approaching, and then used the grenade to let him taste the dwarf's black powder.
It disappointed him, but that was all right, Duggan took the long-barreled musket from his back and was ready to fight, and the dwarves would never give up, ever.
Belegar led the dwarves of the Angrund clan to volunteer at the front, letting the exhausted human army go to rest first: "Brother Ryan, leave this place to us first! You and your people go to rest first! Dwarves OK!"
At this time, Ryan's whole body was covered with blood and various stains, and it was almost impossible to see that his armor should have been silver. Hearing Belegar's words, Ryan did not refuse: "Hold on for twenty minutes! King Belegar! I will take you immediately!" Get someone to support you!"
"Okay! Come on, damned undead, the brave dwarves will win!" Bellegar stood on his oath stone, ready to fight the army of undead.
After the human army withdrew into the fortifications, it took no time to eat. The soldiers ate soft and delicious ham bread and drank hot water. Many infantrymen were too tired to stand up. will fall asleep,
The knights were also exhausted, and many knights couldn't care less about their aristocratic demeanor. They sat on the ground in a disfigured manner, drinking the broth as soon as they received it, and eating as soon as they received it.
The lake goddess Morgiana also came to the front line. She immediately chanted a spell "Goddess Mist", and the entire Spire Palace and Castle were immediately shrouded in thick fog, slowing down the marching speed of the undead.
Even with the help of the Potion Holy Grail, Morgiana's magic power was almost exhausted, and the witch of the lake came to Lane. She used clean water to help Lane wash his armor, and brought him exquisite poached egg bread with bacon, grilled chicken and wine. , and calmly said: "We may last until noon tomorrow."
"Matthew Bud is very smart." Ryan nodded, and he looked at his subordinates: "He knows we are tired."
Baron Devon Hux was covering his abdomen with his hands. He was injured. If it wasn't for the magical healing from the Lake God oracle, he might have died a long time ago.
The young Juan Carlos Sungazer, the knight of the sun, was also injured, he was out of breath, leaning to one side with a pale face, his arms and thighs were covered with bandages, he was being served by a serf Take small bites of your food.
Even Jerrod, who possessed legendary strength, was exhausted. He leaned against a wall and ate food and drank cider: "Damn undead! The lady curses you!"
Only the Holy Grail Knights will not feel tired. Fedmond, Armand and others are hurrying to eat. Three of the dozen Holy Grail guards brought by Morgiana have fallen forever in the Spire Palace. Stories will be told in poetry until the end of the world.
In fact, before the war started, Ryan's army was already tired. This is not without reason, and it is also the problem that Ryan considered before mobilizing the army. One is that the number of troops is insufficient. As a result, after taking the Spire Palace, the whole army has almost no time to rest to replenish supplies, transport supplies, and install artillery on the city wall. Then, Matthew Bard's attack continued for another day and night.
These are all situations that Ryan considered before using troops, and he also made targeted deployments for this.
First of all, he made a large number of artillery models to make real ones, and these artillery models basically completed their tasks, successfully dragging Ryan for a day.
Secondly, Ryan made full preparations for this battle. A large amount of materials were transported to the front line. The abundant reserves of gunpowder and arrows ensured that after a whole day of fighting, there would be no shortage of ammunition, and Ryan even more generously A large amount of food was distributed in the first war. Even the lowest-level serf soldiers could get 200 grams of roast meat, a large amount of salty bread, and various fresh vegetables before the war. Still barely able to hold on after a whole day.
Finally, Lane also ordered his men to release a message.
"A piece of news?" Morgiana's face was also ugly, and her magic power was basically exhausted.
"Before I set off, I told Oliver to spread the news to all the hotels in Brittany." Ryan nodded, he stuffed the food into his mouth in a few random mouthfuls, and took a big sip of water: "That means we have captured The Spire Palace."
"I see!" Holy Grail Knight Fedmond suddenly realized something, and he immediately said: "I understand, as long as I get the news of the fall of the Spire Palace, the Duke of Lawn, who is resting in Lyonnaise, must..."
"That's right!" Ryan's face was as cold as ice, he clapped his hands, and his subordinates brought his mount Griffon Imperius for him.
This huge griffin breathed out lightning, and it neighed continuously, showing its ferocity. Imprius knew that he was about to go to the battlefield, so he flapped his wings excitedly.
"It is eager to fight." Morgiana stretched out her hand to caress Imperus's face, and the lake goddess closed her eyes to feel the anger of this beast: "Imperus is sorry for you not bringing it to fight with you." Feeling dissatisfied."
"Then it must be very happy now!" Ryan shouted: "Amand, take out that military flag!"
"Yes!" Ryan's flag bearer, Holy Grail Knight Armand, answered loudly, and he strode into the depths of the inner castle.
"All the knights who still have the strength to mount a battle! And the sergeants!" Ryan pulled out the Nemesis, and he shouted at everyone: "Please follow me!"
"Our lances and blades fight for you, champion of ladies!" All the knights who could still stand up cheered, looking at the bright figure of Ryan in the dark night, the knights felt as if there were flames in their bodies on fire.
And when Armand appeared with a huge battle flag on his shoulders, all the knights were silent, and some knights couldn't help but burst into tears.
They recognized the battle flag.
The battle flag depicts the figure of the Fairy of the Lake. Blessed by the divine power of the Fairy of the Lake, this battle flag has spanned thousands of years. By chance, Arthur, who was the Duke of Bastogne at that time, was kneeling devoutly by the lake, drinking the holy water from the Holy Grail.
This battle flag accompanied Arthur's life, and it was blessed by the Lake God himself. Under this battle flag, Arthur unified the entire Britannia and opened a bright era for human beings.
The battle flag fluttered against the cold wind in the dark night. It was under this battle flag that the twelve first-generation Holy Grail knights fought twelve epic battles. Even after thousands of years, this battle flag still remains. Shiny as new.
That magnificent history seems to be just yesterday.
"Everyone! Look!" Ryan approached with a big smile. The champion of the fairy in the lake was full of vigor. His whole body was wrapped in spiritual light, like an ancient god of war descending to fight with mortals: "Knights! On the battle flag With the oath of knights! Knights! Do you remember the oath of chivalry?!"
"Remember! Remember!" How could you not remember that every Britannian knight was taught to abide by the knight's oath from birth, when he was babbling, it was a teaching engraved in his soul.
Under the banner of the Lake God, Ryan began to chant in front of everyone, and all the knights responded accordingly.
"By this sword! In the name of Britannia and the Lady of the Lake, I sing praises here."
"I swear to be kind to the weak!"
"I swear to stand up to rape!"
"I swear against all mistakes!"
"I swear to fight for the defenseless!"
"I swear I will not harm any women or children!"
"I swear to help my brother knight!"
"I swear to be true to my friends!"
"I swear to the one I love till death!"
The history full of glory has become blurred with the passage of thousands of years. Greed and arrogance have replaced glory and morality. Knights have gradually become selfish and conceited. Reciting the oath of the knights on the battle flag of the Lake God, many knights couldn't help but burst into tears. No matter how much they denied their family history, the oath of the knights would not be false. It was they who did not keep their oaths and abandoned taught by the Goddess.
"Knights, my brothers! The undead are raging in this land, and our dwarf friends are fighting bloody battles not far away, but we will not surrender, just like our ancestors, we will never surrender to any evil! Knights The oath is not only for you, but also for myself!" Ryan said loudly: "My brothers, please remember, don't forget the glory bestowed on you by your ancestors, forgetting the past means betrayal! We stand upright How can we let the undead defeat us, and how can we treat the ancestors of the heaven? The forgotten past must be picked up again, this is the knight's oath! Let us guard everything with lances and blood, this is The way of the knight!"
"That's right! That's right! Fight for the lady! Fight for the knight's oath, fight to protect this land!" Warm cheers erupted in the entire Spire Palace, and the excitement surged like a mountain cry. The tsunami shook the sky, the fatigue disappeared, the remaining knights waved their fists, the cold of the winter night disappeared, the air was like a furnace, exuding a scorching smell.
The Knights of the Holy Grail knelt down on one knee to express their allegiance. With trembling hands, Fedmond looked directly at the battle flag of the Lake God: "My ancestor, Lord Marcus de Boldro, I found I want to be loyal to someone, just like you were!"
"My brothers! Let us fight bloody battles to conquer Musilon! To recover the land bestowed on us by the goddess, and to defend the kingdom!" Ryan turned on his horse and Armand, who was carrying the battle flag of the Lake God, followed closely. Behind him: "Even if you die, you must die with honor. Never bow your knees in front of the enemy, and never turn your back to the enemy. Can you do it?"
"Yes!" All the knights roared from the bottom of their hearts, and the momentum was as mighty as the tide of the sea, and their morale was high, and they got on their horses.
They are ready to fight.
"Forward!!!" Ryan was riding a griffin, he raised the Nemesis, and the sorceress Teresa immediately melted the ice wall, and all the remaining five hundred knights who were still able to fight joined the battle charge.
There were no shrill horns in this charge, but only the prayers of the knights before the battle. At this moment, whether it was from the Duchy of Winford, Duchy of Boldroux, Duchy of Bastogne, Duchy of Carcassonne or The knights of other principalities, their hearts are united again.
When the knights patted their horses forward, the early morning sky had gradually brightened, and the phantom-like figure of the fairy in the lake appeared in the clouds. The goddess opened her arms and chanted sacred mantras.
On this day, all the knights in the Spire Palace enjoyed the blessing of the goddess.
Under the mighty hooves of the war horses, the earth trembled, and the battle flag of the Lake God radiated the purest light in the darkness of the early morning.
The Bretons will not sit still! If you die, you will die on the way to charge!
"Damn it!!!" At the farthest distance, Matthew Budd was commanding the army to push the dwarves into the final position. His hearing was suddenly drowned out by the sound of horseshoes hitting the ground, and when he looked up and saw Ryan and When the lake god's battle flag was behind him, Mu Xilong's poisonous snake screamed in his heart: "Oops!"
Ryan dared to launch a countercharge against the undead in the castle? !
What Matthew Bud did not expect was that the battle flag of the Lake God appeared here!
He didn't have a chance to think about it anymore. The knights put their spears flat and drew their swords out of their sheaths. The collision of steel resounded back and forth on the streets of the Spire Palace. The anger of the Britannia could not be stopped. They tore the army of undead in an instant. Attempts to reform.
The lance pierced through the armor of the Grave Guards and the helmets of the Skeleton Warriors, and the Crypt Haunts and Crypt Ghouls fled as their swords slashed into their bodies.
The entire tide of undead corpses was crushed by the colorful torrent. The knights roared and charged. They didn't try to kill every enemy they saw on the road, but they smashed the efforts of the undead army to regroup. The undead were trampled Flattened under the iron hooves of the horses, the knights on the horses fought bravely and gloriously, shouting loudly to fight for the goddess. When they saw Lion charging at the forefront alone, all the knights could feel their pain. The spirit is pushed to new heights.
The battle flag of the Lake God fluttered back and forth in the castle, and the divine light on the battle flag suppressed the morale of the undead.
Ryan charged at the forefront alone. The wild, unruly Imperius breathed lightning. It shredded the enemy with its sharp claws. The silver torrent of psionic energy in Ryan's blue eyes swirled around the eyeballs. Already staring at his target.
That is Matthew Bard who just entered the castle, Musilon's poisonous snake! Now that the black knight is here, don't go out!
The Goddess of Nemesis chopped off and split a blood knight's head and shield in two. Ryan wiped out the enemies in the entire street with his own power. He showed his strength and his personal bravery boldly. Countless enemies were swept away by him, no matter how hard the undead army tried to stop him, but no one succeeded, Imperius rushed into the fire and smoke, and the griffin grabbed a The bloodthirsty sky ghost tore its wings off the monster's body.
Getting closer, getting closer, when Ryan came to Matthew Bard holding the Nemesis, Matthew Bard had just used the Viper Sword to draw an arc and cut down a man from Bastogne. Kingdom knight.
With a scream, Imprius flashed past Matthew Bard, and the Nemesis and the Serpent Sword confronted each other. Matthew Bard only felt the terrible force coming from the sword, which made him and His undead horse took two steps back, and Duke Musilon stared at Ryan who turned back with his disgusted eyes, and he yelled frantically: "Are you happy to be her licking dog?"
"..." Ryan didn't answer, he used Nemesis to make the most powerful response, the God's Chosen Champion of the Fairy in the Lake tightened the reins, and he drew Nemesis in a shining arc with one hand, burning silver The flames and the pale blue glow of Nemesis cut a deep gash in Matthew Bard's shield, flashed white, and Matthew Bard was knocked off his horse with a single blow.
Duke Mousilon threw away his shield frantically. He reached out and grabbed Ryan's arm and grabbed the griffin with him. Ryan leaned forward on the seat and fell forward, smashing the back of Matthew Bud with his fist. Nemesis pierced Matthew Bard's cursed armor, and Matthew Bard's Serpent Sword sent sparks along Lane's shoulder armor.
Through the secret method, Matthew Bud's strength is advancing by leaps and bounds, and his current strength is not inferior to Ryan. However, because this is not the power he cultivated himself, Matthew Budd is still at a disadvantage in the battle, and he is faintly unable to match a feeling of.
But he didn't retreat.
A horrific duel thus unfolded. In the flickering light and shadow, it was the duel between Ryan and Matthew Bud. After more than a dozen rounds, the Nemesis in Ryan's hand fell heavily, knocking the place where Matthew Bud had stood before. The entire tone of his voice was chopped into pieces, and the second sword was swung out, and the flames on it burned Matthew Budd's face, and then Ryan swung a punch, covering Matthew Budd's handsome face in his fist Down.
"Crack!" The bridge of the nose on the black knight's handsome face was broken, and Matthew Bud screamed. He grabbed Ryan's white Holy Grail cloak and threw him out.
Ryan took out Thor's Hammer, he roared and threw Thor's Hammer directly towards Matthew Bud's head.
The thunderbolt Thor's Hammer flew towards the target, leaving behind the sound of burning air in its trajectory. Matthew Bard used his hands to resist it in desperation. Immediately, the sound of bones being smashed came from his left arm. The pain made him scream out, and the terrifying kinetic energy brought by Thor's Hammer made him fly out and land at the gate of the castle.
"My Duke!" The vampire lord Belitus hurried to his side and helped him up: "Oops, we can't stand it anymore! Also, there is news from Castle Richard! Lawn, Duke of Connet Leading an army of more than 20,000 knights, they entered Musillon from the north and are currently besieging Richard Castle! We must support Richard Castle! Otherwise, there is no way to defend it!"
"What?!" Matthew Bud covered his chest with blood on his face. He looked at the scene in front of him: the undead army could not withstand the impact of the knights, and all the undead were burned where the sacred lake god battle flag passed. A pile of bones, under the leadership of the lake goddess Morgiana and a dozen Holy Grail knights, the Britannian knights swept and crushed the undead army that entered the castle, and gradually rushed towards the city gate.
"Retreat!" Matthew Bud clenched his teeth, and he issued an order: "Tell Meroving to lead people to retreat! Let Chilfroy lead people to break the rear!"
"Yes! Retreat, retreat!!!" Belitus then shouted: "Retreat!"
Ryan fell from mid-air. He knocked down a noble stone house and bounced on the ground. He fell again among the bones of the undead. Ryan coughed twice and wanted to get up. Hearing the sound of the Horror, a Horror was swooping towards him!
Ryan immediately gave up standing up and wanted to use Nemesis to resist, another scream came from the side: "Ahhh!"
It's Imperius! The griffin slid past and directly attacked the horror beast's neck! The two behemoths collided right in front of Ryan and rolled aside, crushing two houses. Imperius stretched out his beak and stabbed fiercely into the Horror's belly, tearing out a Big piece of flesh and blood!
"Go to hell!" Ryan rolled over and got up immediately. He trotted a few steps to the front of Horror Beast. Imperius pressed his claws on the Horror Beast's head with a tacit understanding, and Ryan immediately held Nemesis's sword hilt with both hands. , thrust down hard, a stream of dry black blood sprayed all over his body.
The horror did not move.
When Ryan came back to his senses, the undead had been routed, and they withdrew from the Spire Palace under the command of the Mad Duke Meroving.
In the distance, dawn has come, the sun has risen into the sky, and the undead have retreated. Mousilon's army of undead finally fled before the anger of the Britannia!
There were cheers one after another, and I don't know whether the knights were celebrating this great victory enough to be recorded in history, or celebrating the rest of their lives.
"victory!"
"We have won! We have defended the Spire Palace!"
"Long live ma'am! Long live Ryan Malcador!"
"victory!!!"
