Chapter 117: Simon (Please Collect and Recommend)

The next day, civilians outside the city began to be transferred into the city. The war was about to begin, and the whole city was mobilized. All the sealed arsenals in Camelot were opened, and bundles of weapons and arrows were moved out of the warehouse. →All adult men aged 16 to 50 in the city were gathered together. These people began to be assigned to work according to their training level. Those who had served in the army were given priority to support the city walls, the strong and healthy were assigned to the reserve team, and the old and weak were assigned to logistics.

In short, everything became just in order under Kai's meticulous care. Kai was also an old soldier, so this matter was not difficult for him. What's more, there was a large group of court ministers to help, so both the mobilization order and the relocation of personnel went smoothly.

"Hakashu! Send messengers to all the lords and ask them to gather their troops for rescue. Remember, tell those lords to wait for the army to gather before advancing to Camelot, and let them follow the orders of my father, Sir Ector."

Although Camelot is impregnable, its military strength is still too small compared to the entire kingdom. There are only 150 knights and their servants in the entire city, as well as 3,000 defenders of Camelot. According to the scout report, Sennod has more than 30,000 troops!

Although Camelot is confident in defense, it is seriously short of troops if it wants to counterattack. But passive defense has never been the habit of Camelot people. So when formulating the battle plan, Kai formulated a counterattack plan.

First, they will use Camelot's solid defense to delay the enemy and consume the enemy's manpower. →

Once they fall into a strategic stalemate, they will have an absolute advantage by defending Camelot. It is now January, and it has been more than two months since last year's autumn harvest. The food reserves in the city are sufficient, so they are not afraid of a protracted war.

After that, as long as they consume some time and wait for the Sennod army to become unstable, the Qinwang army can cooperate with the city inside and outside to defeat the Sennod army in one fell swoop.

Looks simple, right?

Things like fighting never need to be complicated.

Moreover, the key to this battle is not the competition between the forces of Sennod and Camelot. The real focus is Segen and Niwei! Sennod dared to openly attack Camelot at this time, and someone must have given them confidence.

It can only be Segen and Niwei, otherwise Sennod is not that stupid!

Thinking of this, Kai felt very upset. He didn't want much, he just wanted to find a place to live peacefully, at most he wanted to change Arthur's tragic fate. But he didn't expect that before he started to change Arthur's fate, a lot of troubles would happen.

Soon, Kai threw these messy things out of his mind. No matter what the result is, Kai will not escape his own responsibility. If the price of saving Camelot is to expose himself, then Kai will never hesitate.

Anyway, even if he leaves Camelot, he can live well anywhere. What's more, there is Morgana following him.

...

At dusk on the third day, the army pressed on. Under the city of Camelot, Sennod's army stood in black mass under the city.

Arthur stood in his room, looking at the direction of the city wall, feeling nervous and expectant. As a young man, as a young man who wants to prove himself, Arthur encountered such a scene for the first time. At the same time, he also knew that this battle was destined to be written into poetry and history. He hoped that he could establish his own merits in this battle and let everyone see that he is not just the son of King Uther and the younger brother of Grand Duke Kai of the Rhine!

He is the Crown Prince of Camelot! He is Arthur!

Merlin was helping Arthur put on his armor at this time. Both of them were very heavy and had no interest in talking. After helping Arthur put on his knight's half-body armor, Merlin drew out his sword and said seriously: "You are destined to become a wise king who has never been seen before. Today's victory will be recorded in history, passed down from generation to generation, and passed down through the ages."

Arthur took the sword handed over by Merlin with a confused look on his face, and his expression was very strange.

"You must believe in yourself." Merlin nodded seriously after saying that.

Merlin, who was so serious and aggressive, really made Arthur unable to adapt for a while. Arthur suddenly felt a little strange. Although it was not strange, he always felt that he didn't know how to respond to Merlin's serious words.

Accept it all? It seems a bit too shameless.

Don't accept it? It seems... he likes this statement. He is the same as King Uther. To put it bluntly, he likes to show off. This is not a bad thing, because almost all rulers throughout history have this problem.

It took Arthur a long time to come back to his senses.

"Don't pretend, you are usually a complete idiot!"

He turned around and left, and there was a sense of fleeing. Merlin curled his lips behind him, thinking that this kid was really dog ​​meat and could not be served at the main table. Then his thoughts diverged to other places. For example, the Grand Duke of Rhine.

Sometimes he thought, how great it would be if the person he was destined to assist was the Grand Duke of Rhine.

Compared with Arthur, this Grand Duke undoubtedly has more of a king's posture. Unlike Arthur, he is impulsive, childish and always likes to order him around. If Kai was the king, Merlin felt that his duties would be much easier, and he didn't even need to do anything. Kai would definitely become a good king.

...

Night fell quickly.

Originally, night was never the time for war to break out. Because visibility is too low, the difficulty of command is greatly increased. In the dark, orders can only be issued by shouting, and receiving orders is even worse, as it can only be done by listening.

A battlefield with tens of thousands of people, let alone other things, the sound caused is not much different from thunder. In this case, shouting? Don't be funny!

In short, launching an attack at night is definitely a thankless task.

But the army of Sennod did not set up camp outside the city, but lit torches and stood outside the city wall, ready to attack at any time.

"What are these guys doing?" King Uther stood on the highest tower, looking at the "stars" under the city wall, completely confused.

Kai did not answer his question, but kept patrolling around. He felt that Sennod was waiting, waiting for Niwei and Segen to make a move.

Suddenly Kai felt that the ground seemed to be shaking. It was very slight at first, so Kai thought it was an illusion, but soon the vibration became stronger and stronger, and the physical sensation was very clear.

"Not good!!!"

"Boom!!!!" Before Kai finished speaking, a huge explosion attracted everyone's attention.

A huge explosion occurred in the direction of the west gate of Camelot, and a gap was directly blown open in the city wall in the direction of the west gate! ! !

King Uther was shaken by the explosion and lost his balance. He held onto the battlements to avoid falling. But he didn't pay attention to this. He immediately stood up and looked towards the west gate.

"Quick! Quick! Send people to the west gate to build a defense line immediately. Don't let them break into the city!!!"
