The Sun King's Evidence

Chapter 144, Winford Fugitive Group

In August, the midsummer season, the scorching summer wind passed through the wilderness and tortured the troops advancing on the wilderness.

The soldiers soon became wet with sweat, and the armors of the knights and knights' retinues also became hot. The army had to stop and rest every time it advanced.

Ryan also stopped. He had psychic protection and would not feel the heat.

Looking up at the scorching sun hanging in the sky, Olivier, the knight-errant, stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat: "My Baron, isn't the weather too hot?"

"Aren't you used to fighting in this kind of weather? Olivier?" Ryan stretched out his hand to express that he did not need the knight's retinue to help him. The baron had always walked with his horse, and he was wearing dozens of kilograms of psychic power armor in the wilderness. It was just a leisurely stroll on the mountain. In contrast, Hux and Olivier were much more troublesome. They needed the help of the knight's retinue whether they were getting on or off the horse. It took a lot of effort to put on the armor even with the help of the retinue.

"It's okay. As knights, we have to overcome all kinds of weather. This little thing doesn't bother me." The young knight with a beard and firm eyes smiled optimistically: "What's the difficulty?"

Olivier is optimistic and positive by nature, and has the drive to refuse to admit defeat. Ryan liked this young man very much, so he patted the knight errant on the shoulder: "Come on, I'm looking forward to your performance!"

"Of course, my baron." Olivier took out the water bag and drank heavily. There was a river nearby, so the soldiers didn't have to worry about water.

The soldiers also stopped to rest, and they all went to the nearby river to get water. The scene looked a bit chaotic, but Hux immediately ordered them to get water in batches and arranged for manpower to stand guard.

The recruits are not of high quality, but they are not as difficult to order as many veterans. Especially since Ryan, as the Holy Grail Knight, stands in front of everyone, the morale of the recruits is very good.

Again, the existence of a Holy Grail Knight can greatly improve the morale of the serfs and enhance their combat effectiveness.

Ryan's army was resting. On the road in the distance, smoke and dust were everywhere, and a large army came from afar.

On top of the flag raised high, a pure white Pegasus spreads its wings and is about to fly.

It was the Duke of Winford's army who had arrived.

Marquis Connelly-Ascot, who was riding a pure-blood elf warhorse, was wearing a full set of plate armor and a beautiful kite helmet. He was holding the reins. Riding beside him was Sulia, the legitimate daughter of Duke of Winford. -Kumani Antri, this heroic female knight also wears a set of enchanted exquisite silver plate armor. There are many beautiful patterns on the armor, which is both ornamental and practical.

Behind them were dozens of knights, then hundreds of knights' retinues, sergeants and rangers, and finally a dark mass of infantry.

The Duke of Winford sent nearly 2,000 troops this time.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Ascot, Miss Sulia." Ryan stood in front of his horse and greeted the two of them.

"Good afternoon! Your Excellency Ryan." The female knight's eyes lit up when she saw Ryan's appearance and the family crest of the Holy Grail in his book. She waved to Ryan, and Marquis Connery also touched his goatee: "Lane Your Excellency, you are here very early."

"Of course you have to come earlier. It's better not to keep everyone waiting as agreed." Ryan said sincerely.

So the two armies joined together and headed for the Varemi camp.

Waremi Camp is hundreds of kilometers away from where everyone started. They will bypass the Chalon Forest and go north through the Principality of Bordero, and then arrive at Waremi Camp in the north of the Principality of Bastogne. This camp is located in The edge of the Arden Forest is the last line of defense against the beastmen.

The knightly army will gather here, and then move to Julson Castle located inside the Arden Forest, which is Britannia's first line of defense in the Arden Forest and the largest stronghold in the forest.

Sulia took out a coat of arms from her body, which was the certificate given to him by Archduke Winford, and he would lead this army to the Waremi camp.

Most of the knights in Winford knew Ryan, and they gave him a warm welcome. Many of them also went with Ryan to exterminate the bandits. This made Ryan take over the command without much effort, and the entire army was reorganized. Army, and then drove along the road to Waremi Camp. This process took roughly six or seven days.

That night, they camped in a village in the Principality of Bordero.

After dinner, the temperature outside gradually dropped. Britannia is located in the middle of the old world, and the climate is comfortable and pleasant. Even in the hottest summer, the temperature is only high during the day, and it is still relatively cool at night.

After dinner, Ryan and his two knights were taking a walk in the wild.

Normally, the wild is a dangerous place, but for Ryan, the wild is a place for walking.

"Hex?"

"My baron?"

"You've seen Winford's army, what do you think?" Ryan looked at the darkening sky and asked Hux, who was skilled in training.

"They are well-trained and have a fierce style. I can see burning fighting spirit in their eyes. This is relatively rare among infantry." Hux followed behind Ryan, holding the long sword at his waist. Said in a deep voice.

"Is it because of the Baron's appearance?" Olivier followed Ryan on the other side: "The appearance of the Holy Grail Knight always makes the soldiers feel excited."

"Perhaps, but it should be more than just that." Hux retorted. The knight errant wore a black cross helmet, chainmail and breastplate, shaking his head: "The appearance of His Excellency the Baron will indeed cheer up the infantry. , but these infantrymen will not be so fierce...Have you heard of the Winford Fugitive Regiment?"

"Wynford Fugitive Regiment?" Olivier was introduced by Archduke Schulz of Marienburg. He didn't know much about this: "Hey~ It's really interesting that the word fugitive is used as the name of the infantry regiment."

"The Winford Fugitives are famous in the south of the country. This originated from a story." Ryan finally spoke, and he told a story from the past.

More than ten years ago, the Necromancer Heinrich Kemuller and the Grand Duke Winford had an epic showdown. In this tragic war, Francois successfully reversed the numerical disadvantage. With the knights' quick maneuvers and group charges, they defeated the undead army and drove them out of the Kingdom of Britannia.

However, something disgraceful happened on the battlefield. Some knights fled in fear of the undead onslaught, causing a front line to collapse and a large number of infantry to be defeated, almost causing the defeat of the war.

The serfs collapsed and fled in all directions. Many serfs wanted to escape back to their homes, but they were afraid of the Duke's ruling. In the end, most of the serfs decided to go to the Duke's castle to pray for the Duke's mercy.

Fortunately for them, Francois decided to be magnanimous and forgive the sins of these serfs. He personally gave these infantrymen the name "Regiment of Fugitives", representing the shame of their desertion, and then allowed them to continue serving.

It is for this reason that in order to repay the Duke's forgiveness, these infantrymen fought particularly hard and were not afraid of death, becoming a very fierce force.

This time, probably to protect the safety of his daughter, Duke Winford actually sent this troop.

"Fighting with them should help us train our own troops." Hux nodded, his face still dry and expressionless. This knight was bearing a lot.

"It's like this, our soldiers lack training." Ryan and the two knights walked for a while together. The sky was getting dark, and some monsters appeared in the wilderness. Some water ghosts climbed out of the river, but they saw the Holy Grail. The knight was wandering and quickly got back into the water.

These monsters are more bullying than humans themselves.

"By the way, Hux, you turned out to be a knight of the Duchy of Le-Angoulan. You must know the Marquis of Anchy better, right?" Ryan asked Hux again.

"Of course I know." Hux nodded. He breathed the fresh night air and said to Ryan and others: "The Marquis of Anchi is a relative of the current King of Knights, Richard. He is twenty-seven years old this year. Specifically, he is Grandnephew, that is to say, the Marquis of Anchy is the son of the daughter of His Majesty Richard's brother. With his support, the Marquis of Anchy obtained the title of a marquis."

"Marquis, what is Your Excellency Angsi's title as marquis?" Ryan then asked.

"The Marquess of Glasgow is a new title created by His Majesty the King for his great-nephew. The irony is that this Marquis only has twenty knights and three hundred soldiers to defend his territory, and he never stays there Glasgow Castle, but stayed in Curona all day long, enjoying a luxurious life." Hux continued: "The Marquis of Anchy has also participated in many chivalry wars, but as a commander-in-chief, he directly commanded so many armies. It’s the first time.”

A relative of the king who was young and never ruled the territory himself? Ryan frowned, and then asked: "Is there any other news about the Marquis?"

“There is news that the Marquis is pretentious and thinks that he is a very good general and commander, rather than charging on the battlefield as a knight. There is also news that he did perform well in the tactical deductions at the Curona Knight Academy. "Hex continued: "The Marquis of Angsi likes to participate in various banquets. In addition, it is said that the Marquis of Angsi has always been a loyal pursuer of Marquis Sulia, but it is said that he is pursuing many women at the same time. "

"Is there any result behind this matter?" Ryan thought to himself, this is interesting.

"I'm not sure about this either. Maybe you should ask Her Majesty Marquis Sulia." Hex raised his head.

Under the dim sky, two female knights were walking in the wild surrounded by many knights-errant.

In addition to Marquis Sulia, who has an exquisite face and tall figure, another heroic female knight is standing next to the Marquis. She has beautiful purple pupils and is also wearing a full set of knight armor. She is taller than Sulia. He was shorter, with his blond hair tied high and pinned behind his head, and a long sword hanging from his waist.

Ryan recognized her. Her name was Sylvia. She was Sulia's personal maid. She came from a knight family and was also an excellent female knight. There were many young knights pursuing her, but this female knight made up her mind to serve Su. Marquise Leah for life.

The two female knights became a beautiful scenery in the wilderness at night.

The knights errant were vying to talk to her, and the Marquise responded one by one, but she didn't seem to be very interested. The knights errant's old-fashioned ways of chatting up and all kinds of rhetoric made her bored. She was tired of hearing those excessive A tale of arrogant chivalry.

"What a coincidence that Her Majesty the Marquise Sulia also came out for a walk?" Olivier smiled and said: "My Baron, you see, Her Majesty the Marquise's walk triggered a walking frenzy among knights errant, and everyone wanted to be a flower protector. messenger."

"However, if I go there, I will become the focus again, and all the knights errant will want to duel me." Ryan rolled his eyes, and he quickly wanted to turn around and leave.

Too late, a young knight-errant stopped in front of Ryan: "Holy Grail Knight Ryan Malcador, I, Chretien of Winford! I challenge you!"

"I don't have time now..." Ryan said impatiently.

"No! Sir Ryan, you have time! You have time for a walk but no time to accept my challenge? I think I am qualified to challenge!" The knight errant thought that it was rare to find such a good opportunity, how could it be possible? miss?

There is no shame in losing. It is normal to be unable to beat Mr. Ryan. He is the champion of ladies.

And...what if it's a close match or we win?

"Olivier." Ryan called his knight errant Olivier over calmly: "Defeat my knight first, and then I will consider whether to accept your challenge."

"Hmph~ Your name is Chretien? Let me be your opponent!" Olivier stood in front of Ryan and said to Chretien.

"Okay... okay." This was not what the young knight errant wanted, but there were indeed rules in this regard in knightly virtues. Knights under the lord could accept challenges on behalf of their superiors for the sake of honor.

So with everyone watching, a duel began. The two men each mounted their horses, raised their wooden lances, and began to duel. This kind of lance broke into pieces when touched and was a special weapon for duels between knights.

The summer night became lively, and the knights and serfs joined the crowd of onlookers, each shouting.

Ryan also just wanted to see how good his knight was in actual combat. The Holy Grail Knight stood there with his arms crossed and said nothing. In the dark night and torches, his blue eyes stared at him as he mounted the war horse. The two people dueling were thinking about many things.

There was a gust of fragrance around him, which was the fresh fragrance of jasmine. When he smelled this fragrance, Ryan knew who was coming: "Miss Sulia?"

"Good evening, Mr. Ryan." The female knight walked to his side, smiling at him in the night wind.

"Good evening, Miss Sulia, Miss Sylvia." Ryan nodded and shrugged: "Too many people challenged me, so I decided to let Olivier accept the challenge on my behalf."

"I have witnessed the strength of Lord Ryan with my own eyes. There is really no need to waste time on this kind of thing. They are just eyeing your glory and reputation." Sulia smiled softly: "Everyone wants to be the champion of ladies. .”

Ryan thought to himself that the Duke's legitimate daughter really knew this kind of thing.

By the way, when there was a chance, Ryan asked directly: "I heard that the general of the chivalry war, Marquis Angsi, once pursued Miss Sulia?"

"Your Excellency Ryan even knows this kind of thing?" The female knight was a little surprised, but she quickly recovered and nodded slowly: "Yes, the Marquis of Anxi not only pursued me passionately, but also proposed an engagement to my father. ask."

"What's the result?"

A new chivalry war is about to begin. I hope all viewers will enjoy it.
