Chapter 312, After This Battle Is over, I Will...
South, Boldero border.
The 6,000 knights led by Ryan, with a total of 15,000 troops, are ready to go.
In recent years, the south of Brittania has been very prosperous. As a matter of course, the number of knights has increased significantly. In fact, many nobles are not unable to provide knights, but they are unable to purchase enough knight equipment for their family children.
Once the equipment catches up, many knight families can immediately equip a large number of knights and knight retinues. Many nobles are not short of talents who can become knights, but lack of money.
Knights were everywhere in the huge camp, and everyone was waiting for Dalheid's reply.
If Dalhaide didn't reply to give Ryan the right of military passage, this army would not be able to go north to support Lyonnaise, so even though the army was ready to go, they could only wait, and Francois had already led 3,000 knights to escort a large amount of food and grass to Kuro Accepted.
Looking at the cloudy sky, Ryan stood alone on the hill of the camp, looking at the distant sky, frowning.
He was dressed as an Earl, and the Nemesis Sword was hung on his waist. This sword was about 1.5 meters long, and the gold cup cloak with a white background was flapping in the air on the back.
"Ryan." Suria, who was also fully armed and heroic, approached from behind. The two stood together on the hill, not far from the dividing line between Bordereau and Mousillon, the Grace Murray River.
In fact, Ryan didn't really want Suria to come with him. The Earl originally hoped that Suria would stay at home, and he would just come out with Veronica and Teresa who had just returned to the Earl of Glamorgan.
But Surya insisted.
The marriage date of the two is not far away, and the female knight is unwilling to stay at home and wait for Ryan's news. Whether it is victory or failure, she will face it with him.
They are an unmarried couple.
Ryan persuaded for a while, and Suria was firm. Finally, Ryan said with a smile: "Suria, I always feel that the greatest respect for a lady is to let you make your own choice. Do you still insist on going out with me?"
"I insist."
The earl didn't say any more, he took his fiancée with him to set off.
Ryan turned around and found that Veronica was also there. The Garland Witch, who was dressed in a fiery red leather coat, outlined a proud figure...or it should be said that the female elder first greeted Suria respectfully,
Then he said to Ryan with some complaints: "Honey, why have you been fighting all day since I followed you? Can't you just rest for a few years with peace of mind?"
"I think so too, but the enemy won't give us this chance." Ryan could only smile wryly when he heard this. Since he came to Britannia, the war has never stopped: "Maybe my life is destined for war."
"You better not say such unlucky words, Ryan." Teresa also appeared. The sorceress was a little guilty when she returned to Glamorgan, because she hadn't finished the winter vacation homework left by Morgana.
As soon as she came back, she heard the news that Ryan was going on an expedition. Morgiana didn't have time to pay attention to Teresa's winter homework. She stayed with the fairy of the lake and Ryan to discuss for several hours, and then let Ryan Prepare for war.
Teresa was very afraid that Morgiana would ask about the winter vacation homework. The sorceress usually avoids Morgiana, and there are not many opportunities for Morgiana to appear in front of people. As a result, it was not until Ryan completed the army When the expedition was announced, the sorceress happened to follow.
Similarly, Teresa also greeted Suria respectfully, which made Ryan want to laugh.
Only when he has truly experienced the harsh class system in this world like the Middle Ages, can he know where the gap in status lies. Since Ryan has become the God-Chosen Champion and Earl of the Fairy in the Lake, it is impossible for him to marry a witch as his wife. The middle fairy will not agree, and neither will the nobles in the kingdom.
Veronica was the first to understand this truth, but Teresa was forced to understand it.
"According to the news from the front line, the Scalins Tribe fought against the Kingdom of Lyonnaise and the King of Korona on the Nanzi Plain. The knight army was finally defeated, but most of the knights and their followers have now withdrawn. Come out and retreat to Lyonnaise Castle." Teresa brought a message, and the sorceress asked Ryan: "What should we do now? The matter is very critical, should we wait here?"
"There is no news, we can only wait here." Ryan's face was calm: "We chose to send troops to rescue Lyonnaise out of chivalry morality, and we wait here at the border to respect the law."
"Out of chivalry morality, we can form reinforcements to assist him, but obviously, we can't break the law in order to save Dalhaide." Ryan turned around and explained to Teresa: "In addition to triggering a series of diplomatic problems In addition, this will also come true, regardless of whether we win or lose, if Dalhaide accuses us of illegal intrusion in the palace of the kingdom, we will have to apologize and compensate for the loss later."
"But in my impression, the Britannian knights will go to support the kingdom when they hear that the kingdom is in danger." Teresa understood what Ryan meant, and she said with great interest: "Especially the Holy Grail Knights , you are a model of chivalry, living saints."
These words were a bit teasing and ironic, and Surya glanced at the sorceress with some displeasure.
"Among the eight virtues of knights, there is no recklessness. Besides, we are the guardians of order. Let me make an analogy. Suppose you are halfway through the experiment in your magic workshop, and suddenly someone breaks in and says he can help you. Would you be happy to do it together?" Ryan continued.
"Then I'll definitely tell him to get out, and see if I want to reward him with a Pyroblast." Veronica kicked Teresa lightly with her high boots, signaling the sorceress to stop talking.
The two witches are still on the same front for the time being. Veronica and Teresa reached a consensus after some exchanges. They agreed to eat Ryan's cake together. Familiar people are better than unfamiliar opponents.
Teresa also realized something, she changed her tone slightly: "I didn't mean that, what I mean is, if the news doesn't come, we just wait here?"
"We need to dispatch, there are three conditions, as long as one is met." Ryan continued to look into the distance: "First of all, Dalhaide asked us for help, which is a direct method, and then the king's order, it is not possible, the lady's oracle You can also let us go."
The large camp was full of knights and knight retinues, and at the same time, the dukes also sent a lot of sergeants. As for the serf infantry regiment... Ryan also felt that this thing was useless against the barbarians, except for the Duke of Bastogne. In addition to the two battalions of longbows sent by Hemond, he took a team of dwarven musketeers composed of dwarven engineer Duggan-Ironman.
After waiting from the morning to the afternoon, Ryan finally got his wish and waited for the Duke of Dalhaide to ask for help. He ordered the army to set off immediately, and he himself rode on the pure-blood elf warhorse Grape, preparing to go north to support Lyonnasay Castle.
Not long after the army left the gate of the camp, a small group of knights came from the other side of the field. These knights were few in number, but after seeing them, the entire army stopped.
Because the dress of these knights is very special.
All of them are holding broad-bladed giant swords, riding on horses, wearing some old blouses and armor, and carrying a cabinet behind the horses. No matter how damaged and old the cabinet is, the icon of the fairy in the lake on the cabinet is still as clean as ever. new.
They are glorious expeditionary knights. They have gone through untold hardships in order to pursue the Holy Grail. Now, the kingdom is in trouble, and they choose to come to help the kingdom to tide over the difficulties together.
The Road of the Holy Grail never means that eradicating evil has nothing to do with them, because they have embarked on the Road of the Holy Grail in order to eradicate evil and protect the land of the goddess.
The leading expeditionary knight took off his helmet, revealing a slender and cold face. He had a serious expression, a long broad-bladed giant sword was burning with red flames, and there was only anger and indifference in his eyes.
Hux, the knight under Ryan, tried to communicate with him: "May I ask who you are?"
"Call Ryan to come and talk! What are you!" the expedition knight said coldly, and Hux's face turned red with a single sentence.
Ryan frowned, he thought to himself who is this person, why is he so famous?
Who knew that Armand, the Holy Grail Knight, the earl's flag bearer, spoke first. Armand's face was very excited. He took the initiative to step forward and stretched out his hand in greeting: "Long time no see! My friend, how are you?"
The expedition knight was a little surprised to see Armand. He reached out to hold Armand, and the words he spit out were as hard as a stone: "So it was Armand, and you are now loyal to Earl Lane? Yes, he killed the Red Duke." .”
Now Ryan knew that things were not easy, so he rushed forward: "Hi, I'm Ryan Malcador."
"Lady's God's Choice champion, it took less than ten years to become an earl from a Nord country bumpkin, um... the breath is not stable, it is a sign that he is about to break through the sanctuary." The expedition knight sized him up , and then stretched out his hand: "Hi, I'm Hubald."
Hubbard? ! This person in front of him is Hubald?
There was a huge wave in Ryan's heart, but his face remained calm. He shook hands with Hubald and extended a knight's salute.
Hubald, the Duke of Carcassonne, the ruler of the Principality of Carcassonne!
Ryan and Hubald did not meet face to face, because when he came to Britannia, Duke Hubald had just embarked on the Holy Grail Road not long ago, and there was no news for several years, and there was no news again. For more news, all the government affairs in the territory were handed over to the Order of the Holy Maiden led by Morgiana and the headquarters of the Knights of the Holy Grail in the Fairy Cathedral in Lake Carcassonne. After Morgiana was seriously injured, the Principality of Carcassonne In fact, it fell under the control of the Knights of the Holy Grail and several prophets of the lake god. The political situation has been stable and peaceful for a period of time.
On the surface, Hubald has given up the title of duke, but Ryan knows that this is only symbolic, because for the Holy Grail knights, if they are ordinary knights of the kingdom (the fief is generally a village or enjoys a fixed income), they can complete After the Holy Grail Trial, they will give up their mortal duties and concentrate on guarding the holy land of the fairies in the lake. However, if the knight of the kingdom has a solid title, then they will come back to restore their own after completing the Holy Grail Trial. Title, to fulfill one's obligations as a lord.
Because according to the instructions of the fairy in the lake, defending one's own territory is the best protection of the land of the goddess.
"I know your strength, and I also understand how much you are favored by ladies, so these expeditionary knights and I will obey your command." Hubald said calmly: "We will fight side by side on the battlefield, I With my sword and my lady's wrath, I will drive away those disgusting followers of Chaos."
"Welcome." Ryan could see that Hubald didn't want to say more, so he decided to say less and do more.
A group of expeditionary knights joined, and the army continued to set off.
"Your Excellency, we have such a powerful army, why worry about the northern barbarians can't solve it." A knight said to Ryan.
"The barbarians are very powerful. They defeated the knight army from the Principality of Lyonnaise and Korona. We must not underestimate the barbarians. They are all fighters favored by evil gods." Ryan did not shy away from his past: "At that time, I When Nord was a knight of the kingdom, he would go to war with the barbarians almost every few years."
"After this battle is over, I'm going back to the Netherland Knot..." Ryan wanted to say something more.
Su Liya on the side immediately stretched out her small hand to cover his mouth, shy and annoyed: "Lian!"
The knights next to them all laughed and burst into laughter. Everyone knew about the engagement of Earl Ryan and the Marquis Suria, and they were well-matched. , she is obviously also very satisfied with this marriage, but her face is tender, and she is embarrassed to let Ryan continue.
…………
Relying on his incomparably strong physique and powerful blessings from Khorne, the king of Scalins persisted until his adopted son Chakoy took the antidote for him, and Egil struggled to recover from the brink of death. .
After he woke up, the bad news came one after another. The Chaos Hell Cannon was destroyed, and a large amount of food and supplies were burned. Now, how will the barbarian army attack the strong castle of Kleonasay?
And the bigger bad news is yet to come, his son was snatched away by the Britannia! According to what many barbarian warriors saw with their own eyes, the woman who was pregnant with his son, Hengst, was taken away by the Holy Grail Commander in Britannia!
Unlimited rage flooded Egil's chest, and the King of Scalins vowed that no matter what the cost, he would take his son back from the hands of the Bretons.
But now, the first thing he has to face is how to attack the Cleonasay Castle.
So on the first day, Egil personally commanded troops to attack Lyonnasay Castle. And Brittania also killed dozens of knights and 300 peasants and soldiers.
All the males over the age of fifteen in the castle were forcibly recruited to guard the city wall. Egil knew that he would not be able to fight this time, so he ordered to retreat.
However, the probing attack was not in vain, and while the barbarians were storming the walls, Chaos Wizard Chakoy and his trusted Chaos Champion Kovindev took the opportunity to survey the waters near Leonasse Castle.
They found that the water near Lyonnasay Castle was very shallow, and the depth of the water in the shallowest place was only five or six meters.
Egil showed a bloodthirsty expression after listening to his subordinate's report.
He already has a plan to break through the castle.
