Chapter 541, Reinforcement Assembled
When Ryan greeted the Britannian and Imperial coalition forces led by Karard and Duke Hagen in the camp, it was already early morning.
This army was only in the early three thousand years, and almost everyone was wounded. Their supplies had already been exhausted. When they came near the Spire Palace, the ruins of the entire castle that had melted almost made this army feel desperate. The army of chivalry has also been wiped out.
Fortunately, Ryan had arranged for rangers to guard the periphery in advance. After seeing the knight army appearing, Bertrand decided to show up to get in touch. The remaining Britannian knights and the imperial army Only then did they cross the pontoon bridge under the cover of the moonlight and came to the camp in Sharon Forest.
At this time, there were only more than 800 knights and knight retinues left in the Britannian army in this army, and about 100 imperial knights remained in the empire. The imperial army of about 2,500 people, 20 There are only eight cannons left, and only four Hellstorm rocket launchers. Fortunately, the most powerful Hellstorm rapid-fire gun is still intact.
In order to attack Mu Xilong, Ryan had stored enough food and military supplies. These troops were obviously starving, and a fire was lit in the camp to cook for them in the middle of the night.
After this defeated army came to the camp, it obviously brought a greater impact to Ryan's army. Even though Ryan had tightly sealed the news and claimed that Karard and others took the initiative to join him, many knights could still guess that the chivalry army in the north must be problem occurs.
Everyone's psychology is contradictory. On the one hand, the two defeated armies are entangled together, which will inevitably affect the morale of each other. Ryan's army has already tasted a defeat in the Spire Palace. Coupled with the arrival of this army, the morale of the knights is getting lower. .
On the other hand, Callard held up the head of the Mad Duke Meroving, indicating that the Mad Duke Meroving had given the head. This seems to emphasize that there is still hope for victory in this war, and the arrival of the imperial army has also raised some hope in the hearts of the knights.
At the dinner table, everyone exchanged information. Callard and Duke Hagen, who were already exhausted after the defeat, were surprised and speechless after hearing Ryan's information.
The Tzeentch Demon Army also joined the war?
Duke Hagen suffered some minor injuries, and half of his proud antler cross helmet collapsed. The Duke groaned angrily after hearing the current battle situation. He was holding a roast leg of lamb in his hand. He gnawed on the fat leg of lamb dripping with fat, and muttered, "Chaos is coming too? Damn it! The whole Mu Xilong is smashed into a pot of porridge!"
"We also saw a battle between the Greenskin tribe and the Beastman tribe on the road." The imperial general Dietrich nodded. The imperial general was covered in blood and mud, and his well-groomed beard and hair had become Dirty and messy, Lane noticed that his beard and hair were matted, and Dietrich and Boris von Zhukov felt uncomfortable seeing Lane's eyes move to them.
Before coming to Britannia, both of them had seen Emmanuel in Nur's court. The new Duchess received them with a big belly under the protection of many guards. After a while, tell them that if they see Ryan, they must be polite and remember to visit Sister Suria when they have a chance.
But whether it is Dietrich or Boris, they always feel a little uncomfortable when looking at Ryan. When they think of such a man as the Duchess Emmanuel... they feel inexplicably uncomfortable. After all, countless imperial nobles are doing it. Want to marry The dream of the Duchess of Noor, the Elector and the Duchess of Wesson, even if Dietrich and Boris have families, they still feel uncomfortable.
man.
Fortunately, Ryan didn't pay too much attention to them. He obviously had something on his mind, so he just said a few polite words as a greeting. Dietrich and Boris von Zhukov also followed the pre-planned diplomatic speech Greetings from the little maid: "We bring the greetings of Duchess Emmanuel, I wish the Lord Earl Ryan and Countess Suria good health, the beloved Duchess has a question to ask the venerable Your Excellency Ryan, when do you plan to come to Nur to see your son?"
The resentment and dissatisfaction contained in this greeting can be felt by everyone in the big tent. After hearing this, Ryan was a little embarrassed, and he quickly replied: "At least we have to wait until the end of the war."
"Now we join forces, but there are only more than 6,000 people at most, and the morale of the army is not high, and they are very tired." Karard saw Ryan's embarrassment. The holy knight helped Ryan to relieve the siege. His face was full of tiredness, including the tiredness of defeat, and the tiredness of knowing the complicated situation of the battle. This is rare for a Holy Grail knight, but if it weren't for Karard's brave fighting, this one would have been marching in Musilon continuously. The army that has lasted for more than three days may disappear forever on the corrupted land of Mousilon: "Do we still have reinforcements, Your Excellency Ryan?"
"The reinforcements of François and Duke Bohemond are already on the way." Ryan frowned, and he said to everyone present: "They will join us in a few days. Besides, Duke Boderick The Sea God Knights are also on their way."
"No one can stay out of this war. We must protect the sacred objects left by the first twelve Holy Grail Knights, otherwise the only thing waiting for this country is perish."
Hearing that the two dukes are about to arrive, the atmosphere in the big tent will be a little better. If Berhemond and Francois arrive, there will be five sanctuary powerhouses here, Ryan, Callard, and Moji Anna, Bohemond, Francois, plus the armies of these three duchies, may still have a chance to compete with the Tzeentch army.
This is not because the knights overestimated the strength of the Tzeentch Demon Army, but that the Chaos Demons are already so strong. In history, in the face of wars against Chaos Demons, mortals had to do their best and even pay an incomparably painful price to barely defeat these Asian demons. The nightmare of space, but the exiled demons will not die. One day, they will return and bring destruction to mortals.
One day, because the perseverance of mortals is short-lived, but chaos is eternal.
"By the way, I heard that there is a team of dwarf butchers in the mercenary group of your pyrotechnics academy?" Ryan shook his head, thinking that these things are meaningless now, he asked casually: "Why didn't I see them? Did the dwarves voluntarily cut off the heir?"
"No, those dwarven butchers haven't even arrived at Musillon yet." The imperial general Dietrich said helplessly: "Your Excellency Ryan, your early dispatch of troops disrupted everyone's plans. We would have arrived at this time." We only set off from Nur, and we will not arrive at Le-Angulan until the beginning of April. After learning that you launched an attack at the end of February and captured the Spire Palace in just one day, the Regent of Lawn urgently ordered us to come to Mousilon immediately, We had no choice but to set off quickly, starting from Nur on a dwarven steamship, passing Marienburg and arriving at Le Angoulang."
"At this time, the group of dwarf butchers are still assisting the dwarves of Karak-Desolate Castle in the Black Mountains to clear up the greenskins in the mountains." -Angrunn's ship, the dwarves value oaths above all..."
"That's right! We dwarves are like this. We must repay our debts! We must avenge our vengeance!" Belgar, the king of Eight Peaks, sat on a raised bench and hid his body behind the big table. He yelled loudly: "This is dwarf!"
Ryan watched for a long time and couldn't determine whether Bellegar stood up or sat down, so he couldn't judge how excited the dwarf king was.
"We are going all out to deal with Chaos, so what about Matthew Budd and his army of undead?" Callard cared about this issue, and his voice was filled with pain: "Lionase is no longer capable of resisting the invasion of undead, as long as Matthew Bard thought, he could even go straight for Corona."
"That's right, but Korona still has enough defenders to deal with it." Holy Grail Knight Fedmond shook his head violently, and he immediately emphasized: "It shouldn't be a problem to persist for at least a month or two."
"The Holy Grail Knights of the Korona branch of the Holy Grail Knights and the prophets of the lake god will fight to defend the capital." The lake goddess Morgiana also said seriously: "The capital is not so easy to be breached."
"Things have to come first. At present, our most powerful enemy is the Chaos Demon Army." Ryan set a tone for this matter: "Of course, what I want to emphasize is that giving priority to dealing with the Chaos Demon Army does not mean that we Let the undead go! When we crush the Chaos Demon Army and get back the sacred objects, we will naturally defeat Matthew Bard's army! Moreover, what I am most afraid of is that Matthew Bard will stick to Musilon, so we must prepare for a long-term siege And if this guy dares to go out of the city and fight us in the field, his undead army will naturally be nothing to worry about!"
After listening to Ryan's words, everyone nodded again and again. The undead are enemies, and they will only be enemies.
In fact, a strange concept has often been circulated in Britannia these years. This concept has been circulated among the serfs and among the knights, and there is still a market.
That is, knights, as guardians of humans and defenders of the kingdom, seem to be worse than undead in terms of governance. There are many gossip that even undead are not so harsh on serfs. In contrast, vampires Serfs were never required to pay tithes, but were only required to pay the "bones tax" and "blood tax" on a regular basis, which seemed quite enlightened in comparison.
But in fact, the Holy Grail knights headed by Ryan are very clear in their hearts that life and death are like the positive and negative sides of a coin, and they can never be unified.
As for why these midnight nobles are so kind to some of the serfs they enslaved?
For example, if a farmer builds a pigsty and raises a group of piglets, would the farmer intentionally torture these pigs and let them be tortured to death?
No, the farmers will raise these pigs to make them fat, and then wait for the right time to slaughter them for meat.
As for why vampires sometimes fight to protect humans, the reason is very simple, just like someone wants to get or destroy the pigs in the pigsty. As the owner of the pigs, the farmer will naturally take up arms to defend his property.
This is the relationship between vampires and runaway slaves who think they are alive.
"I don't care much what the prey think of me. Do you think the meat will think of you? Do you remember how much bread you ate?"
Konstantin von Carstein
There is nothing wrong with vampires advocating honor and blood, but this has nothing to do with humans. Even the most honorable blood dragon family has never been human guardians or noble knights. What they bring to the mortal world is still only death and fear , indulge and hunt.
Except in the most extreme and special cases where the living and the dead will temporarily fight side by side, most of the time, humans and vampires are enemies.
The knight nobles of Brittania do have a lot of problems, but in any case they have always fought to protect humans and the mortal world under the guidance of the fairies in the lake. Vampires may have some commendable excellent qualities, but most of the midnight nobles The ultimate goal is still to make the mortal world a kingdom of the dead.
It's like a batch of good canned food and bad canned food. No matter how you divide Britannia, it will be good canned food after all, and vampires will be bad canned food after all. The inhabitants came to test their sword skills, something that even the most corrupt Breton knights could not do.
"Okay, everyone has worked hard along the way, please take a good rest these few days." Ryan narrowed his eyes: "When the reinforcements arrive, we will immediately send troops to cross the Grace Murray River and follow the downstream to the tomb of Landuin! "
"Yes!" It was early in the morning, everyone retreated one by one, and set up camp to sleep.

………I am the dividing line between good cans and bad cans………
A few days later, the reinforcements led by the three Dukes of Behemond, François, and Boderick arrived in the Chalon Forest.
