The Sun King's Evidence

A dark ritual, this ritual was not only a strict gift from the God of Darkness, but also an inevitable vent of desire. Egil's big tent shook for several days in the Lake Fairy Temple on Landry Island. The end has come.

There is no doubt that they will give birth to a dark child, and with Khorne's blessing, this child can be born in only two months or less.

Now, Egil, the Chosen Champion of Khorne, Chakoy, the Chaos Wizard, Kovindev, the Chaos Champion, and Egil-Yar (hereinafter collectively referred to as Yar), Egil's nephew and Chaos Champion, gathered in the ruined temple. Inside, the next move was discussed.

"We will go south, we will kill every Breton we see, we will destroy everything we see until my child is born, and I will celebrate my life with the blood of countless southerners. The birth of my son." Egil sat on his black skull throne and said to several Chaos Champions and Chaos Wizard Chakoy: "But before that, I need to wait for the follow-up army to arrive here, Kovindev, tell me , how long until my army arrives?"

"There are still about five days." Chaos Champion Kovindev placed the ax at his feet. His face was engraved with multiple streaks of oil paint and Chaos Marks, which were symbols of his status as Chaos Champion.

"Then we will wait for a while." Egil decided to wait for Skarins' army to arrive.

There is no doubt that the five thousand barbarian troops around Egil are elite enough warriors, but Egil knows deeply that although the barbarian warriors are brave, it is an indisputable fact that they lack heavy siege weapons.

When the Chaos Mammoths of the North and the Chaos Hell Cannons of the Chaos Dwarfs arrive on the front line, it will be the end of the Southerners!

…………

Dalhaide, Duke of Lyonnaise, still knows nothing about things in the north. Dalhaide is in a state of distress in his palace. The serfs in the north launched a riot and occupied the castle. He is still planning to prepare troops to regain the lost territory. As for the people on the coastline, He didn't pay much attention to the temporary loss of news from Landry Island.

Duke Dalheide is still planning how to organize an army to suppress the rebellion of the serfs.

At the same time, at the Holy Grail Knights branch in Corona, the Holy Grail Knight Commander Jules received a dream from the Lake Fairy.

A huge barbarian army has landed in Landry!

After hearing the news, Jules, who knew that the matter was serious, hurriedly got up.

At this time, it was still early in the morning, and the sky was still dark. It was extremely quiet in Kurona in the early morning, and there were no pedestrians on the street. Yules woke up from his sleep. He covered his chest with his hands and gasped for air.

"My lady... you entrusted me with such an important task... I will definitely live up to your expectations." Jules murmured to himself, and the quilt was pulled off his body, revealing his body covered with scars. Body.

Jules touched his beard. He was already dozens of years old and no longer young.

A pair of white jade arms stretched out from his back and hugged his neck: "What's wrong, my dear, don't you want to sleep for a while?"

A beautiful woman wearing a gauze nightgown hugged the Holy Grail Knight Commander from behind.

"I received the lady's oracle, Anna, I want to enter the palace to see His Majesty Richard." Jules stretched out his hand and pressed it on the woman's hand. His burly body was displayed in front of the woman, and his eyes were dazzling. The room was filled with bright light.

"Lady's oracle?!" This woman is Jules's lover Anala, the sister of Calard, Count of Garament in the Principality of Bastogne. She immediately knew that something big was going on after hearing the oracle from the fairy in the lake. occur.

"It's an emergency, Anna. I'll leave first. You can continue to sleep." Jules got up and started to change clothes.

"No, the lady's order is above all else, let me help you." Upon seeing this, Anala also got up. Her eyes were filled with the light of love, and she began to dress Jules in full equipment.

A set of gorgeous plate armor that is comparable to a work of art was removed. Every inch of the armor's surface has intricate details, pasted with ancient scriptures, and every detail is inlaid with exquisite silver crafts. A sparkling blue The colored cloak fluttered in the wind. The cloak was lined with soft fine fur. The belt of the cloak was fixed on the chest by a huge gold brooch in the shape of a chalice.

After Anara put countless prayer ornaments and holy objects on Jules, she patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, it's time for you to set off."

Jules nodded silently.

When the sky was slightly light, the Holy Grail Knight Commander relied on his privileges as the head of the Holy Grail Knights branch in Kurona to forcefully enter the palace.

An hour later, Kurona Palace, restaurant.

The more than ten-meter-long dining table is covered with a white tablecloth, with bread and breakfast on it, as well as honey and cheese.

The gray-haired Richard was wearing casual clothes. He picked up the hot milk and said to the Holy Grail Knight sitting next to him: "Jules, you shouldn't bother me at this time."

The old king coughed a few times. He didn't sleep well during this period. Even though the king could sleep on the softest bed in the whole kingdom, with a down pillow imported from the high elves, Richard kept repeating it during the night. Again, this may be due to old age, or it may also be because a series of recent events have been in my heart, tossing and turning.

The defeat of Kasfann at the beginning of the year caused a major political upheaval, a tug-of-war that lasted for several weeks, and then there were serf riots and the emergence of a large number of escaped slaves. There was even an open rebellion by the serfs and they occupied the castle.

All these things left Richard feeling mentally and physically exhausted, and the king struggled to hold together the precarious relationships within the kingdom, not only between knights and serfs, but also between knights and knights.

"I'm sorry, your majesty, but the lady sent a message from the oracle that a huge barbarian army has landed on Landry Island. They massacred thousands of the citizens and destroyed the lady's temple. We must immediately organize an army of knights to reinforce the Principality of Lyonnaise, otherwise Lord Dalheide's army will not be enough to fight against this terrible chaos army. The lady gave me a dream, saying that this time the enemy is stronger than ever before." Yules didn't have much more to say. He went straight to the topic. The Knight Commander of the Holy Grail put down his knife and fork and said to Richard.

"Ding!" Richard's hands trembled a little, and the silver fork fell to the ground.

"Why...why do bad things always happen together?" Richard's face was filled with sorrow and anger: "The scum of chaos...are really good at looking for opportunities. The kingdom is very weak now, Jules, do you know?"

"I understand." Jules is not ignorant of the political situation. On the contrary, he is very clear about the current difficulties facing the Knight Kingdom.

"You understand... you understand, you don't understand, dear Jules, lady's Holy Grail Knight Commander, the north of the kingdom has suffered heavy losses in this serf rebellion, and the public order is unstable. I need a lot of troops to maintain public order, and now you But he wants to take them away." Richard shook his head, and the king slowly said to Jules: "Do you know how big an impact this will have?"

"My Majesty, we have no choice. The invasion of Chaos must be contained, and we must face the enemy head-on!" Jules' eyes were full of energy, and he looked directly at Richard with determination: "Your Majesty, Chaos is the kingdom of knights. The great enemy, they must be eliminated first, otherwise the entire kingdom will be plunged into flames and countless people will be massacred!"

"I don't need you to remind me, I know what is the top priority, and I know which enemies are the powerful enemies that the kingdom really needs to pay attention to!" Richard retorted a little irritably. The king picked up the silver knife and fork and placed it firmly. on the table: "My father has been telling me about the threat from Chaos since I was a three-year-old kid!"

"...Your Majesty, I was rude." Jules was surprised by Richard's angry look. He immediately realized his rudeness and apologized quickly.

Richard pursed his lips, closed his eyes, and his body seemed to be shaking with anger. He tried hard to control his emotions.

Jules' face was serious, and his figure exuded the light of piety like the sun. He came with the will of the goddess, and he would fulfill his loyalty and obligations to the lady. He was waiting for the king's answer.

"Jules, sending troops is not that simple... I said, the kingdom is very weak now, and the long-term riots have made the public security very unstable. If I announce that the army is summoned because of the invasion of Chaos, it will definitely make people panic at this juncture. ...The number of knights and troops in Kurona has dropped to the lowest point in the past twenty years." Richard took a deep breath and continued: "Furthermore, there is another important issue, and that is the food in the granary. There aren’t many left.”

Jules nodded cautiously. A lot of the grain that had just been harvested in the north was looted or burned by the rioters before it could be handed over. Even if it had been collected, the wages of the workers sent by the merchants of Marienburg had to be paid. The serfs had to pay much more for harvesting by themselves.

Public security is unstable, the number of troops is insufficient, and food reserves are low. If the current knight kingdom wants to assemble an army of knights to go on an expedition, it will face panic and low morale. The newly restored public security level may have to withstand severe tests.

However, just like Richard said, the king also knew what the threat of Chaos was. Facing the invasion of Chaos from the north, the king must respond to the call of the Lake Fairy and send reinforcements.

After a long silence, Richard told Jules about all the difficulties he was facing. The Holy Grail Knight Commander was not the kind of idiot who didn't know how to adapt. Jules thought for a while and said to the king: "My Majesty... we can Ask the dukes in the south for help. The political situation in the south is relatively stable. Whether it is His Excellency Berhemond of Bastogne, or His Excellency François of Winford, and other dukes, the political situation in their territories is stable. Maintain prosperity for a long time and have enough resources to support us."

"Hey, I understand. We are facing a powerful enemy. Personal grudges and internal political opinions are put aside in advance. The most important thing to fight against chaos is unity." Richard nodded slowly: "I will write a letter and request troops and supplies from the south. aid.”

"...Gather the troops! Jules! No matter what, we can't let Chaos set foot on the land of the goddess!" Richard stood up, and a vague figure of his former glory seemed to burst out of his old body: "I will The army is summoned in the name of the king, and this army will be given to you to command. You can take away as much food as you can from the granary."

"I have only one request from you, Jules, to bring victory back."

"Yes!" Jules stood up proudly, looked up at Richard, then turned and left the palace.

Richard looked at the sound of Jules leaving and nodded.

"The land of the goddess will never be allowed to be trampled by the scum of chaos!"

The king finished his meal hastily, came to his throne room, and began to write a letter. In the letter, he asked the dukes in the south for help. Several letters were sent to Berhemond, Francois, and Bodrick respectively. , Theodoric... and Ryan.

After writing a few letters, Richard picked up the parchment. He took out his quill and dipped it in ink, but quickly put it down again. He looked at the written request for help on the parchment and smiled bitterly.

The quill was repeatedly picked up, put down, picked up, put down. The trembling fingers and the changing expressions on Richard's face told of the king's struggle.

Emotionally speaking, the king did not want to write a letter asking for help. This would be a blow to his personal prestige and to the royal power. However, Britannia is different from the empire. In the empire, powerful electors can directly Ignore the emperor's orders, whether they are justified or not.

In Britannia, although the dukes also enjoyed an independent status, with the spirit of chivalry and devotion to the Fairy of the Lake, Richard knew that if he wrote a letter asking for help, the dukes in the south would definitely respond.

The king looked up silently and looked back. The portraits of the previous knight kings were behind him, staring at him. The first generation knight king "Unifier" Arthur, the second generation knight king "Lewis the Reckless", and the third generation knight king "Lewis the Reckless". Guillaume, the White Death, Ron, the fourth-generation Knight King "Greenskin Killer", Louis, the fifth-generation Knight King, "Young Man" Louis, Philippe the Strong, the sixth-generation Knight King...until his last Knight King , the "tyrant" John II who was brutally pulled down from the throne by the Lake God Witch and the Holy Grail Knights.

Both John I and John II were denied the knighthood by the Fairy of the Lake and were deposed as knights. Therefore, in official records, Richard is the ninth knight king of Britannia, and his previous knight king was Rose. The images of the knights Taylor, John I and John II were erased, leaving a white frame.

"Hey, the most difficult word to write in the world is your own name." Richard suddenly sneered. He took a deep breath, grabbed his right hand holding the pen with his trembling left hand, and finally wrote his name. .

"Someone, send these letters to the Holy Grail Cathedral!"

"yes!"

…………

It took more time to gather the army than Jules imagined. It took a week or more for the army of knights to gather more than half of it in Curona. The three thousand knights and twenty thousand troops that Jules expected have only been assembled now. There were two thousand knights and more than thirteen thousand people.

He understood now why Richard was so concerned about this.

"We can't wait any longer! Call in the troops!"
