The Sun King's Evidence

PS: Something happened today, so I updated it early.

Alfred did not leave Lane's Duke Castle immediately. As Lane's de facto vassal, he had to pay a visit to Surya in addition to visiting Lane.

Of course, compared to the easy-to-talk Ryan, Queen Surya is much more difficult to deal with, because the friendship between Surya and Alfred is actually limited. Under business, Alfred must report to him in detail this time The strength of the troops for the expedition, the arrangements for the territory, and who to call when encountering problems.

There was no way to fool him. Alfred took the pre-written report and went to the office to find Lidya Su.

In the end, I don’t know whether it was good luck or bad luck. When the Patriarch arrived at the office, the Lake Fairy was also there. The goddess was holding hands with Sulia and laughing and talking about something. She was still smiling when Alfred appeared. He said: "Afu is here, are you going on an expedition too?"

"Uh, yes." Alfred was very embarrassed, neither kneeling nor standing.

Fortunately, the fairy in the lake did not embarrass him and just asked him to tell him the size of the army for this expedition.

The scale of Alfred's expedition was quite large. After all, it was the conscription of Archbishop Vicmar. He took away all the elites and most of the troops in the territory.

Fifteen Templars and twelve Hospitallers, including Alfred.

Six combat priests.

Twenty-two great swordsmen.

A group of halberdiers, a group of sword and shield soldiers and a group of crossbowmen in Freya's ancient church area.

Two teams of paladins and two teams of whipper dervishes.

and a small number of military personnel.

Based on the 90-120 people in a company, Alfred will dispatch more than 800 people this time, which is considered to be all the best.

After finishing speaking, Alfred obviously felt that Queen Surya was a little unhappy. After all, Afu's army was Britannia's army to a certain extent, but the fairy in the lake didn't care very much. He straightened his skirt and nodded indifferently: "Then, have a nice trip!"

"Yes!" Ah Fu was granted amnesty, nodded quickly, and then withdrew.

The Patriarch did not delay further, and after the report was completed, he gathered the troops as quickly as he could and set out on the road to Brunswick.

The army set out from Mousilon, advanced along the Grismoray River, passed through the Principality of Gisoleaux, and entered the Principality of Montfort. Alfred was fortunate enough to meet Duke Ford of Montfort at Montfort Castle. Ford and these In 2000, due to the prosperity of trade between the Empire and Britannia, the Duchy's customs revenue repeatedly reached new highs. The Duke's family has had a relatively good relationship with the Empire's Reikland for generations (of course they are not always friends), so he generously waived Alfred's army passed the tariff.

After being stationed in Montfort for one night, the army successfully crossed the border, passed through the Axbite Pass, and arrived at the imperial border city of Helmgart at the end of February. This city, which was destroyed once by the plague, has now been completely rebuilt, and with the help of the empire and cloth With the signing of the trade contract, Retania became the most important trading city for both parties.

Here, Alfred unexpectedly met the demon hunter Abel, who had met Ryan many times. After hearing the news about Alfred, Abel and the six demon hunters under his command Decided to go with Alfred to Brunswick on an expedition.

In March, in the Reikland of the Empire, in the Reikwald Forest.

"I thought the witcher would wander forever." Alfred rode a white war horse and smiled at Abel: "But I didn't expect that you would settle in Helmgart."

"I have not settled in Helmgart." Demon hunter Abel is now a master demon hunter. However, his many years of cleaning up rats and evil have made him look like a middle-aged man in his forties. Now, his hair has turned a lot whiter, and his originally extremely sharp temperament has gradually become gentler and restrained. He smiled bitterly twice: "I tried my best to let my school take root in Helmgart. Due to the previous plague and destruction, The citizens and nobles of Helmgart need someone to help them deal with evil and cleanse the monsters."

"Isn't this great?" Alfred was dressed in silver armor and white robes. The patriarch still maintained his sunny attitude and enthusiastic smile: "Everyone gets what he needs."

"That's it for the time being." Abel was carrying two swords behind his back and a gun hanging on his waist. He looked a little tired: "It won't always be like this. As time goes by, if we completely eliminate the monsters, then the monsters here will People will no longer welcome us. If the evil cannot be contained, people here will feel that we are not capable of helping them. But if the balance of power is maintained for a long time, it will not take long for rumors to appear that we are raising monsters. Those who respect themselves will eventually be met with hatred and hostility.”

"But you are indispensable. If it weren't for the demon hunters who always clean up corruption and eliminate evil under the light of our Lord, I don't know how many mutations will occur in the old world." Alfred was helpless about this.

"The variants in the old world are like diseases. They are contagious and extremely destructive terrorist threats." Abel nodded: "New mutant babies are born every year, and people will immediately treat a mutant they don't recognize Babies are thrown into the fire, but when mutations fall upon themselves or those they love, they compromise on their sacred duty and make the most shameful choice of all: hiding."

"This is indeed a problem." Alfred said with a wry smile: "We all know that this is very cruel and ruthless, and the territorial residents will never welcome a group of people who break into their homes and take away their children."

"So it's only a matter of time before we leave Helmgart." Abel has become accustomed to all this: "Get used to it."

"Looking at the map, there is a village ahead, Patriarch." The army continued to advance, Alfred and Abel chatted about many topics, and the time came to three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and a Templar Knight said : "Maybe we can go to the village to spend the night."

"No village can accommodate our army of more than 800 people for the night." Alfred retorted directly, and the Patriarch said displeasedly: "Also, there are very few villages that can provide food for our more than 800 people! Don't do it!" Disturbing the people! This is not Britannia! It is not our territory. Put away your idea of ​​getting food from the villagers, water, bread, bacon! It is enough for us to persist until the next town."

"Yes!" The Templars were a little embarrassed by Alfred's words, but also a little aggrieved. The atmosphere of the march was a bit stiff, and they spoke less to each other.

Alfred let out a long sigh when he saw this. He was very strict about military discipline, but after all, very few people could do it to the level of Ryan. Besides, Ryan had always done a good job with logistics. The Old Guards The food is famous all over the world, but Afu himself does not have the financial resources of Ryan. The supply of a small amount of beer, barley bread, and bacon for more than 800 people along the way is already a considerable expense.

Within the Church of Justice, there are many cases of clergy or religious knights extorting civilians.

I am still the boy I was before without any change... the Patriarch thought.

As dusk gradually fell in the gloomy Reikwald Forest Avenue, a strange movement shrouded the terrifying forest. Demon Hunter Abel's face changed slightly: "The forest wind is smelly! Your Excellency the Patriarch! Nearby! There are beastmen!”

"It's not that there is (one) beastman! There is a large group of beastmen!" Alfred's expression changed drastically. The Patriarch immediately signaled to take out the compass, and then stretched out his hand to signal the soldiers to prepare for battle: "Soldiers! Cheer up! Come on! It’s Beast Man!”

The army instantly entered combat mode. Although a little panicked and poorly prepared, Alfred's army also fought against beastmen and undead remnants in Mousilon.

The halberdiers formed a formation, the sword and shield soldiers lined up, the knights drew their swords from their scabbards, and the witchers loaded their guns.

Alfred held his own warhammer marked by a double-tailed comet with both hands, burning in flames, and the Patriarch silently recited the names of Charlemagne, the God of Justice and the God of Man.

Before the battle, it was so peaceful.

"Hooooo!" "Hooooooo~"

The roar pierced the dusky sky of Reikvald Forest.

A large group of beastman troops appeared in the forest, and they rushed towards Alfred from all directions under the leadership of a goat horned beast!

Ah Fu clenched the warhammer in his hand. There were many enemies. Normally, there shouldn't be that many beastmen operating as tribes. One or two hundred people was the limit, but now it seemed that there were three to five hundred enemies.

This is not normal!

However, Alfred didn't have much time to think. A large group of horned beasts had already appeared following the goat horned beast. Their clothes were in tatters, the weapons in their hands were rusty, and their formations were chaotic. However, they all followed the goat horned beast brainlessly. Following the beastman battle flag made of human skin: "Eat...meat...fresh...meat!"

"Let go!" The crossbowmen began to fire volleys, harvesting the reckless beastmen. The horned beast war group also appeared from the forest, using bone arrows and wooden arrows to fight back. The chaotic beastman formation was scattered, and they rushed straight towards them. The shield wall of Alfred's army.

The battle begins.

Just in the forest, various weapons were waved, blood was sprinkled on the frozen and hard ground, the sound of shields rang back and forth, and various war cries continued to sound. Some belonged to the human army, and some belonged to the beastmen, but Alf Red was always commanding calmly. He asked the flag bearers and drummers to move forward to encourage the soldiers to move forward. He shouted slogans in the military formation to boost morale. The halberdiers used sharp halberd points to pierce the bodies of the beastmen, and the sword and shield soldiers Use your shield to block the Beastman's weapon, then slash the blade through the flesh of the Beastman's sturdy leather armor.

The beastmen encountered a tough situation this time. Alfred's 800 men were clearly not something that could be easily defeated. Their strongest horned beasts began to join the battlefield. These elite beastmen wore heavy armor and used giant axes or machetes. The human defense line was finally torn apart, the halberds were blocked by them, the axes shattered the shields, and the entire human front began to twist.

"Soul Flame!" Just as Abel and several demon hunters were skillfully slashing the beastmen with swords or axes, Alfred had already raised his sacred war hammer, and the red flame turned into The platinum light ignited the whole place. The beasts' fur burned under the golden light, and they covered their eyes with their hands. The cold patriarch immediately ordered the great swordsmen and knights to join the battlefield, and the paladins and flagellants followed.

The changes brought to the battlefield by knights and great swordsmen were devastating. Without monsters or even behemoth troops, the beastmen could not fight against these human elites.

The goat-headed horned beast realized that the situation was not good, but at this moment, a bottle of cocktail had been thrown on him, and the demon hunter Abel shouted at everyone: "The enemy has been marked by me. Got it!"

"Kill!" Alfred charged in person. The Patriarch lowered his body on the war horse, dodging the beast man's machete, and then rotated the war hammer. The flames and steel hit the head of the goat big horned beast. The big horned beast's head It exploded, and sheets of black blood spilled from the two horns. The big horned beast whined and moved sideways for a few steps, stumbling and trying to escape into the forest. Alfred immediately added another blow. Kill it completely.

These three to five hundred beastmen quickly collapsed, leaving more than two hundred corpses and fleeing in a hurry.

"This is not normal." Alfred shouted towards Abel: "Why are there such a large number of beastmen here?"

"Obviously we disturbed their eating!" Abel put away his weapon, and the demon hunter looked anxious: "There must be a nearby village that is under siege, hurry, otherwise we will only see bones and charred ruins all over the ground!"

"That's right! Hurry!" Alfred immediately realized the problem, and the patriarch grabbed the map: "The nearby village is - Bad Smile Village!"

"Everyone, drop all your luggage, leave fifty people to look after the wounded, and all the rest follow me and rush to Bad Smile Village immediately!"

"yes!"

Alfred and Abel led their troops on a rapid march for nearly an hour, and finally arrived at the nearest village. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the forest was burning and the village was filled with black smoke. This scene almost made Alfred feel... Anger attacks the heart.

Are you late?

Human voices and the sound of weapons clashing came from the village. The patriarch and the demon hunter couldn't help but look at each other with joy. Fortunately, they were not late, and the villagers in the village were still resisting!

However, what happened next left Alfred and Amber stunned.

The village lit up with golden flames all over the sky, and several horned beasts were blasted into the sky on the spot, falling to the ground and smashed into a ball of mud. The roar of a young villager drowned out the shouts of the beastmen.

"For Charlemagne, for the Empire!"

Amidst the collapsed houses and thick black smoke, a young man emerged from the golden flames. He looked to be no more than a teenager, with long blond hair parted in the middle, wearing blacksmith's clothes and holding a pair of blacksmiths in his hands. With a heavy hammer, he was unusually tall and strong, and his handsome face was full of hatred and anger towards the Beastmen. The young man chose the most reckless way of fighting. He rushed directly to where the Beastman and Beast King were alone. at.

This man must be crazy! Alfred quickly ordered the army to rescue the village and the villagers. The patriarch thought it was a pity that this was a good young man, but he was going to die in the first battle today.

As a result, a few seconds later, Alfred and Abel refreshed their knowledge again.

I saw this young man's body like a dazzling meteor, and the two hammers in his hands were like fluttering butterflies wherever he passed, instantly tearing apart all the beastmen who tried to stop him, and the shining The light shot out in all directions, shining like gold.

The group of horned beast spears were blown into the sky or smashed into clouds of blood mist. The screaming shaman's staff was shattered into pieces and burned to ashes in the golden flames. In less than two minutes, the young man directly killed them. In front of the Beast King.

Alfred was stunned speechless.

A strong man from the sanctuary who looks about seventeen or eighteen years old?

This was not over yet. The bull-headed beastman Beast King accepted the young man's challenge. It swung its machete and slashed at the young man's chest, preparing to dedicate this guy's head to the God of Darkness.

The young man groaned and twisted around forcefully, and directly faced the surprised look of the Beast Man and Beast King, he hammered his chest to block the machete.

With the other hand, he raised the remaining blacksmith's hammer.

The hammer body was burning with terrible flames, and two long tails were formed that rolled up and down in the air. Under the will of the young man, they fell like comets and hit the Beast King on the forehead.

The beastman's bull-headed head shattered instantly, and the golden red light circled and refracted outward, illuminating the entire dusk sky as brightly as if it were plated with a layer of gold. The beastman's body exploded together with his head. It was strong and strong. His body exploded like glass and completely disintegrated.

The Beastmen Chapter collapsed and was quickly slaughtered by Alfred's forces.

But all eyes were focused on this young man.

"Twin-tailed comet?!" Alfred muttered incredulously: "According to legend, Charlemagne will return with the twin-tailed comet when the empire he founded is in danger... Luther the Savior Vichy also said something similar when he took off his crown and left. Could it be that..."

The Patriarch hurriedly rode towards where the young man was. The battle was over at this time. Around the young man, beastman corpses piled up into a hill. There was no filth that could be his enemy.

"Thank you for your support, righteous priest." The young man also noticed the reinforcements. He showed his white teeth towards Ah Fu: "Your people helped us, Bad Smile Village thanks you for your support."

"Are you?" Alfred quickly turned over and dismounted. He even lowered his head slightly to show respect for the strong man in the sanctuary.

"Me? I'm a villager from Bad Smile Village!" The young man seemed not to realize what terrible thing he had done. He put down a pair of big hammers, took out a water bag from his waist, and took a big sip. eyes filled with gratitude.

"Oh, by the way, my name...my name is Woten."

"Woten?"

The clothes on the young man's chest were spread out. On his chest, there was a birthmark that was exactly the same as the pattern of a twin-tailed comet. It reflected light slightly under the dusk sky.
