Chapter 553, Battle of Kingship (Part 1)
ps: This chapter says that it has been restored, please comment more, it feels so painful to be alone.
What these knights took away was not only their own followers, but also the morale of Matthew Bud's army.
Immediately afterwards, the appearance of the Green Knight began to cause panic among the Matthew Bard army. The rogue knights, rebel serfs, and despicable robbers gathered in the Matthew Bard army could not stop the appearance of the Green Knight A sense of panic arose in my heart.
The legend of the Green Knight is a myth that every Britannian is familiar with. When the embodiment of chivalry and virtue appeared in front of everyone with a green aura all over his body, all Britannian knights Everyone felt unparalleled excitement in their hearts, while those people who followed Matthew Bud were shrouded in fear.
The green horse stepped out of the army formation, and the green knight spoke.
"O son of Ron Leo Cornwall, you have been covered in a lie from the beginning, you once possessed noble virtues and outstanding martial arts, but you have not used them in the right place, you have been blinded by hatred and lies Eyes, because of you, countless people have lost their lives. In order to stop you, countless knights have sacrificed their lives, and you cannot be forgiven." The green knight said slowly: "The only way to save you is to completely destroy you. It is hereby declared that you are no longer a man of this country, stripped of all titles of Breton and citizenship of the kingdom,"
The Green Knight's words caused restlessness in Matthew Bard's army one after another.
Now, whether it was the rogue knights, the rioting serfs, or the robbers who made a living by robbery, they all felt fear and wavering.
Matthew Bard has always regarded himself as the son of the Duke of Lawn, the regent of the kingdom, the strong claimant of the title of Duke of Connet, and the legitimate Duke of Musillon. He also made such promises to humans in these identities, precisely because In this way, these people will follow him.
But today's situation made them feel scared and betrayed, because the real Duke Musillon was Ryan, not Matthew Bard, and the appearance of the Green Knight destroyed the validity of Matthew Bard's promise.
He has lost his citizenship of Brittany, how can he become king? How can promises be fulfilled?
Someone started to back away gradually.
Matthew Budd's army formed very quickly, and he easily attracted a huge number of people to serve him. That's because he made promises, and speculators naturally flocked. In this dark age, there has never been There is a shortage of people who want to seek higher status and more power.
However, these people come and go quickly. When there are benefits, they are as excited as sharks smelling blood, and when they learn that Matthew Bud can't bring them more, they are also excited He will never be willing to work hard for Matthew Bud's revenge.
Matthew Bard noticed all of this, and he felt very confused. At this time, Mu Xilong's poisonous snake had been burned by the flame of revenge and was about to lose his mind.
He didn't understand why such a country could survive, why this country's hypocritical chivalry and that elf god's hypocritical belief continued, and why so many knights worked for it?
The flames of anger burned in his heart, and Matthew Bard knew that he had to do something, otherwise his army was in danger of collapse, and Mousilon's snake drew its own snake sword from his waist.
"Ha! Very good!" Matthew Bard laughed wildly, and he said sharply: "It seems that we have reached an agreement on this issue, that is, no matter what,
One of us must die, the only difference is whether we fall or you become my servants. "
"Send your champion!!" Matthew Bard looked at the Britannian army of chivalry. Under the circumstances, it is not good for him to force a war at this time, but it does not matter, because he firmly believes that the Bretons will not be willing to fight this war. There is one thing in the spirit of the knight, that is, the knight must agree to the duel request (with additional conditions are equal in stature and at the right time).
He raised the poisonous snake sword in his hand and pointed it straight at the army of chivalry: "I demand, a champion duel! Send your champion! Come with me for a real champion duel! Only the victor is worthy of owning this country!"
Matthew Bud's arrogant challenge caused dissatisfaction among many knights, but most of the knights could only stare angrily at seeing Matthew Bud's provocation, because the poisonous snake had completed thirty consecutive vipers on the way to Korona. More than 30 Kingdom Knights, Expedition Knights, and even Holy Grail Knights have fallen under his sword in many singles.
Matthew Bard, who has completely integrated the power of the Black Holy Grail Knight, has now steadily reached the mid-level strength of the Sanctuary. He is no longer an opponent that can be easily challenged. At this time, it is undoubtedly self-defeating to go up to the championship match against Matthew Bard. Its humiliation and death.
All eyes focused on the middle of the army formation.
In this case, there are only four players who can represent the Brittany side.
Fairy of the Lake's God's Choice champion Ryan Macado.
Richard the King of Knights.
A direct descendant of Arthur, the first knight king, Bohemond, Duke of the Red Dragon, has a high status.
And the most mysterious green knight.
Among them, the option of Richard was automatically excluded by all the knights. If Richard was young, he was still a brave enough knight, but now he is too old. De knocked down with a sword.
Richard is also very self-aware, he slightly shook his head towards Ryan, meaning that it is all handed over to you.
In the same way, Bohemond also shook his head. Although the Red Dragon Duke really wanted to smash the bastard Matthew Bud into a pulp, he still controlled himself. He gave up the chance of the championship duel because it was not suitable. .
Just like that, there are only two candidates left.
At this time, the green knight spoke, his voice was ethereal like a dream in a dream, and the green-eyed king said to Ryan: "Successor of Landuin, lady's chosen champion, it's time to end all this .”
"Yes, it's time to end all of this." Ryan rushed out without hesitation, and Duke Mousillon took over the championship matchup as an undisputed identity.
He will face Matthew Bard.
All the way out, Ryan accepted the cheers of the knights. The will of the fairy in the lake to choose the champion was unrivaled, and his authority was inviolable. The miraculous light and heat shone on his handsome face, and the long black hair parted in the middle Swaying gently in the breeze.
Ryan also doesn't want to decide the outcome through a big battle outside of Courona. Matthew Bard's request for a championship matchup is simply something he can't wait for, and Matthew Bard thinks so too.
Now, the two are face to face. They got off their horses and stood on the banks of the Sandnes River, looking at each other. Ryan and Matthew Budd met on the way to Bordeaux for a banquet, and now they also Eight years have passed.
The river was flowing, and grass and wild flowers were everywhere on the field. In front of the two armies, Ryan and Matthew Bud finally faced each other. Ryan held the Nemesis and said, "We meet again."
The wind passed, the water flowed, and the wind stopped, but the sound of the water continued.
"Yeah, we met again. I always felt that we are very similar." There was a slight smile on Matthew Bud's handsome face. He was not wearing a helmet and stared at Ryan's face. Mu Xilong's poisonous snake was calm instead. Come down: "Don't you think so?"
"I don't think so." Ryan shook his head: "You are a scum of chivalry."
"Really? Do you think so?" Matthew Bud moved his steps sideways, and he said with a smile: "I think we are very similar, we are all abandoned children, you were thrown in Nuo In the snow and ice of Germany, I was thrown in the wilderness of the Korona Road."
"You are very lucky, you were picked up by Lord Norman of Auterne in Nord, adopted, and named Ryan, and I am also very lucky, I was picked up by the Lich King Akhan, named Matthew Bard. "
"We all grew up in this environment. You became a white wolf knight in Nord, and I became a ranger knight in the Principality of Connect. We all fought on our own. You rely on yourself in Nord. I became famous in that bitter cold land for my bravery, and I also won the title of paladin for my excellent martial arts and so-called virtues."
"Yes, from this point of view, we are very similar." Ryan did not refute this, he clenched the hilt of Nemesis's sword: "But you have gone astray after all."
"The wrong way in your eyes?" Matthew Bard also clenched his snake sword, he didn't seem to intend to argue any further, he just continued the topic: "Before I met you, I always felt that, I should be the protagonist of this story, I see through the truth of your goddess, I know everything, my godfather told me my life, from then on, I swear, I want revenge on this country, I must It is my vengeance to save this country from a whopper of a lie."
Ryan's heart moved. He knew how Matthew Bud had gained insight into the true body of the fairy in the lake. It was obviously arranged by the Lich King Akhan, but he cleverly said: "The way you save this country is to get close to Su Li. Ya, and then participate in the knight meeting?"
"That's just a part of the plan." Matthew Bard nodded: "Pursuing Suria is not a necessary condition, but it can bring great help to my plan. At that time, I thought a lot, like Suria It is not easy to pursue such a noble lady, because she must have a very high vision as the Duke's daughter, and I must seize the only opportunity."
"So you will participate in the knight meeting." Ryan expressed his understanding: "Winning the laurel of the knight meeting is one of the few opportunities to impress Suria, you know it very well."
"But you preempted everything." Matthew Bud's eyes became resentful again, and his tone was filled with deep hatred: "You knew Suria earlier than I did, and you let her On the other hand, if you weren't seriously injured in the battle with Nurgle, Surya wouldn't be able to break through the limit under the stimulation of extreme emotions, and she wouldn't be able to defeat me."
"So, blame me?" Ryan was still calm, and he motioned for Matthew Bud to continue.
"It all started after that. You repeatedly obstructed my plan, and you repeatedly destroyed the well-designed plan of me and the godfather. It's all because of you!" Matthew Bard also knew that Ryan was famous for his firm will and pious faith In the whole world, a few words are unlikely to shake him: "However, these are not important now, I will defeat you here, I will enter Courona, enter the Holy Grail Cathedral, and expose that Bi Chi's lies! I swear!"
"Up to now, you are still obsessed with it." Ryan sighed, and he said suddenly: "Have you ever thought that it might not be a coincidence that you were adopted by the Lich King Akhan from the beginning to the end? He was just using you , use your blood, use your hatred, and at the same time... use your strength?"
"Of course I know." Matthew Budd also wouldn't be shaken by Ryan's words, he just chuckled and said, "Godfather...he has a purpose in doing things, and the starting point of all his actions is for his master Service, yes, maybe the godfather did use me, but without him, I might have died in the wilderness, he raised me, I am very grateful to him, compared to that person, it is the godfather who saved me , Everything about me was given by the godfather, I can be used because of the value of being used, I want to avenge that person, I want to expose the lies of this kingdom for thousands of years, I am willing to be used by him."
Ryan knew that the "that person" in Matthew Bud's mouth referred to Lawn, who was seriously injured and missing, and Matthew Budd's biological father.
"I have always firmly believed that I can be used because I have value, and that is enough." The black aura of the dead emerged from Matthew Budd, and all the strength, combat skills, and experience of the black Holy Grail knights had been completely absorbed by him. Absorption: "I can't wait that long. Everything I do is for revenge. Without Godfather's help, how long will it take me to accumulate strength to complete my revenge? Godfather gave me this opportunity."
"What right do you have to criticize me? Ryan Machado?" Matthew Bard's voice became playful: "If it wasn't for that bitch who extended a helping hand to you at a critical moment, you might have been there Did you fail in the championship match? Look at your current situation. If it weren’t for that bitch supporting you with all its strength, you would have been able to push forward your reforms so smoothly? You could have been a duke after ten years here ?”
"No one is nobler than anyone else, Ryan." Matthew Bard summed up everything, his voice was more sinister: "In the end, we will all become the people we hate the most."
"Venomous snake." Ryan sighed after hearing this: "You are not likable at all... Strangely, you can't be hated either, yes, we are very similar, it's just our camp and position Just different."
Nemesis slowly unsheathed, and the silver flame blazed in the air.
"This is Lord Landuin's last wish..."
"I must bring Musilon and Brittany back from the abyss of the undead." The blade flipped, and the light blue light flickered endlessly.
"So, poisonous snake, I must kill you! Talking is useless, let's fight!"
"That's right, let's fight!"
In the roar that sounded almost at the same time, Ryan and Matthew Bard charged face to face, and the collision sound of Nemesis and Viper Sword rang out!
The battle for royal power begins!
