The Sun King's Evidence

After five days of waiting, Egil finally received reinforcements from the northern wasteland as he wished.

Hundreds of dragon boats were flying over, and the black eight-pointed flags of chaos were like a dense forest. The dragon boats covered the originally clear sea. Thousands of barbarian warriors were filing in. The barbarians used everything they plundered as military supplies.

A short dwarf, led by Haldorn, the Chaos Champion, came to Egil.

He is the Chaos Dwarf Lord Zumara. This dwarf has a sharp and large aquiline nose, small eyes like needle eyes, huge fangs, gray skin, and blood-red eyes. He can barely On par with normal dwarves.

No matter which race in the old world, the origin of the Chaos Dwarves is not very clear. Everyone only knows that before Chaos came, it was the golden age of the dwarves. The dwarves not only developed westward and came to the seaside, but also moved eastward. The expedition reached as far as the edge of the Cathay Empire.

However, at this moment, the Dwarf Expeditionary Force encountered a dilemma. They came to the dark realm far east of the World Mountains. There were traces of corruption everywhere. Some dwarves chose to return to the World's Roof Mountains, while some dwarves firmly demanded Stay and settle here.

Finally, when the first Chaos invasion occurred about seven thousand years ago, the dwarf kingdoms located in the Roof Mountains of the World lost the news of these compatriots forever. They once thought that these compatriots were dead and sent their The spirit spreads widely.

However, when the dwarves spent more than five thousand years re-opening the road, what appeared in front of them was the Chaos Dwarf - a cruel and unsympathetic creature.

Just like Zumara in front of him, the face of this Chaos Dwarf Lord was filled with greed and ruthlessness, cruelty and savagery.

"According to the rules, my five hundred subordinates and I will obey your command. We brought two Chaos Hell Cannons." Zumala's long black beard was tied into countless braids, with skulls hanging on them: "As The condition is that the dwarves must obtain enough slaves and gold from your war."

"Okay." This was the condition they had negotiated before. Egil did not hesitate at all. The king of Scarins agreed to this condition.

The arriving army rested on Landry Island for two days. Then, relying on the help of the storm, Egil led the army and marched south.

In the spring, the first town to be captured was Elki, the northernmost town in the Principality of Lyonnaise.

Elki is a prosperous coastal town in the north of Lyonnaise. It is guarded by thirty knights and a thousand serf infantry regiments led by Baron Elki. When the black army of Chaos appears at the end of the horizon, Elki Baron Erji felt bad. He ordered all the bridges to be destroyed and assembled all the troops in the town to resist. All men over the age of fifteen were forcibly recruited and sent to the city. The soldiers were filled with fear. Standing behind the city wall, watching the approaching Chaos army.

The efforts of the townspeople turned into a joke, as the Chaos Mammoth War Elephant jumped directly across the river and the broken bridge, smashing open the city gate in one fell swoop.

In desperation, Baron Egil wrote to the Lyonnaise Castle in the south for help. However, before the messenger was delivered, the town had fallen. Egil's army captured this place, the town and several nearby villages with almost no effort. It turned into a sea of ​​fire and everyone was slaughtered.

Carnac Castle fell at noon the next day. Baron Carnac led his army to resist the invasion of the barbarian army until all members were killed. Egil lamented his determination and decided to take his head as his own. Collection.

The barbarian army rested for a long time. They destroyed all the villages in sight, and then continued southward.

On the third day, the coastal towns of Quimper and Skair fell.

On the fourth day, Sarzo Castle fell, and all eight hundred defenders including the castle owner were killed.

On the fifth day, more than 30,000 barbarian troops had penetrated deep into the interior of the Principality of Lyonnaise. Wherever they passed, there was ruins. Except for the scouts who sent the distress letter, no one survived.

Duke Dalheide of Lyonnais finally realized what was happening in the north of his principality. The Duke immediately ordered the recruitment of all the troops in the entire principality to prepare for this chaotic invasion. At the same time, a letter requesting help was urgently sent to Curona, requesting The king sent reinforcements.

Dalhaide sent a forward army of about 3,000 people, led by the Holy Grail Knight Aisen, and arrived at the important town of Tours in the north first. The Holy Grail Knight Aisen received an order from Dalhaide, Duke of Lyonnais, requiring him to stay here. Delay the barbarian army for enough time to gain an opportunity for the principality army to assemble.

At the same time, the capital of Britannia, Curona.

The long bells are ringing, and there are crowds of people everywhere in the capital. Knights are on horseback, and large groups of infantry are gathering under the command of sergeants. The scene is a bit chaotic. In the large square, the Holy Grail Knight Captain Jules is in full gear. Armed, looking at the army of knights.

A knight of the kingdom who looked to be in his thirties stood behind him. He was Kalad, the lover of Eules, the brother of Anara, the prophet of the lake god, and Count Garament of Bastogne. Upon hearing Les's call, Kalad immediately packed his bags, ignored the affairs of the territory, and rushed to Kurona with a few trusted knights.

"Two thousand one hundred knights, six thousand knights' retinues, and eight thousand infantry, which is 30% less than I expected." Jules looked at the large number of troops gathered in the square, and the Holy Grail Knight Commander looked a little sad: "Ms. Tell me this is an invasion more powerful than ever."

"The assembly order has been issued, and more knights will arrive with their retinues." Kalad stood behind Yules and whispered: "The kingdom has been in chaos recently."

"Yes, if we wait, more knights will indeed arrive here." Jules reached out and patted Kalad on the shoulder: "But we can't wait any longer. If we wait too long, Leona The game will fall and we must go."

"Yes." Kalad nodded gently. He held the sword at his waist and got on his horse.

"Dong~dong~dong~" The bell continued to ring for a long time. The knights put on their armor and got on their horses. The soldiers loaded their swords and guns and picked up their shields. The army of about 15,000 people was very powerful.

The residents of the city gathered around the streets, and there were people everywhere near the square. During this period, the news of the northern barbarian invasion had reached the ears of the residents of Curona, and almost the entire city fell into deep panic. , people rushed to tell each other that it was rumored that a certain Chaos Power in the north had led an army of hundreds of thousands to the south, determined to destroy everything.

Too many things have happened this year. Under such a crisis, Kurona is also in chaos. Now only high walls can bring residents a sense of security.

Jules knew what he had to say. At this difficult moment, when the serfs were rioting, food was scarce, and the number of knights had dropped to the lowest level in thirty years, he still had to take away most of the garrison of Curona and a large number of them. knight.

He had to say something.

"Knights of Britannia! You know that the kingdom is now in danger. The barbarian tribes from the north are riding dragon ships, bringing destruction and darkness." Jules looked at all the troops in the square, Even the residents who were watching nearby shouted: "The kingdom is in a critical moment, we must stand up, otherwise we will be in catastrophe!"

"This is the moment of decisive battle. Knights of Britannia, you have fought to the death. We have united together and established our country here in the name of Arthur. We have created glory here for thousands of years. history!"

"Now, the darkness is approaching, but we still have the strength to fight. In the name of the lady, we persist until now. In the name of the lady, we fight until now. Now, the kingdom needs us! The lady needs us! Tell me, knights, our duty What is it?"

"Defend the lady's land! Fight for the lady and the kingdom!" The knights roared loudly, and more than two thousand knights and their retinues expressed their deepest voices.

Knight, shield of civilization.

"Glorious knights of Britannia, draw your swords, raise your lances, and go to war for our most devout faith in the Lady of the Lake, and for the sake of bright and glorious Britannia!"

"Go to war!"

"Go to war!"

Jules grasped the divine sword "Durandale" at his waist, mounted his beloved horse, led the way, and left the city, followed closely by Kalad and Anara.

A large group of cavalry and infantry followed Jules and left Curona.

The king stood at the top of the city and watched all this silently. Jules took away 70% of the garrison of Kurona and a large number of troops near Kurona that were summoned in response to the king's order. His expedition made Kurona almost The emptiness was extreme.

"So, the war in Lyonnais will determine the survival of the entire Britannia. Once Jules fails, there will be no more troops to deploy in the northern part of the kingdom." Richard murmured to himself.

"Jules, we must win... and bring the knights back safely."

…………

The army left the city. Kalad followed Yules. The knight of the kingdom looked at the gray sky and frowned: "The weather is a little abnormal."

Almost all the knights have felt this. The main sources of this knight army are the four principalities of Connet, Le-Angoulan, and Gisoleaux. The dukes in the south have received orders from the king and A letter from the Duke of Lyonnais for help, but it would take time for them to assemble an army, and they would have to travel about ten days.

"It's the power of chaos. The power of chaos is eroding the main material world." Yules raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky: "The wind of chaos is blowing the earth. Under this situation, any weird things will not be enough. Strange."

A long army of knights is marching on the road. The capital Curona and the surrounding area are very prosperous, with manors and farmland visible everywhere, and various workshops lined up along the Sandnes River.

Five Holy Grail Knights followed Ules, which was already the maximum number of people Jules could bring considering the law and order in Kurona.

"Your Excellency Jules, our food can last for a month and a half at most." A Holy Grail Knight came up from behind and said to Jules: "If it takes too long to decide the winner, we will run out of food. danger."

"The decisive battle does not need to take so long, one and a half months is enough. The northern barbarians are a warlike race, and I know their character well." Regarding food, Yules still has confidence in his heart: "What I am worried about now is Curona’s grain reserves.”

The dukes in the south have already responded. When the kingdom is facing a crisis, the dukes all understand who is the primary enemy. Berhemond's army is already preparing to move north, and Lane, Bodrick, Francois and others have also begun preparations. Support food.

I heard that the south has been very prosperous in recent years, and Yules thought that I must go south to see it if I have the opportunity.

The army continued to advance for two days, and Yules began to send out a large number of scouts to detect the movements of the barbarian army. The scouts suffered heavy losses, but they still brought back valuable intelligence.

The barbarian army was once unstoppable and advanced rapidly. However, after successively conquering multiple coastal towns and castles, the barbarian army began to advance slowly. Many chiefs of small tribes indulged in burning, killing and looting and ignored Egil's orders. In spring, many rivers and mountains began to melt snow, and the muddy environment made it difficult for the barbarian armies, especially the Chaos Hell Cannon and Chaos Mammoth War Elephants of the Chaos Dwarves, to advance.

Holy Grail Knight Aisen led the vanguard of the kingdom's army and had many battles with the vanguard of the barbarian army, temporarily blocking the barbarians on the line of Tours. Tours is a strong castle, and the barbarian forwards were temporarily blocked by this castle. But it was only a matter of time before the castle was captured. Once the Chaos Mammoth War Elephants, Chaos Hell Cannons, and the elite army of 10,000 Skarins led by Egil himself arrived at the front line, it would be impossible for the defenders to hold on to the castle.

"Once the Castle of Tours is breached, the barbarian army will face the Castle of Lyonnaise." After a few days of marching, Jules and several Holy Grail knights, as well as Kalad and his sister Anara, analyzed the information sent back by the scouts. Intelligence: "Have you confirmed which tribe this barbarian army belongs to and who is leading it?"

"It's the Skarins tribe in the northern wasteland. The leader is the king of Skarins, the Blood God's... God's chosen champion Egil Stirbjorn." A Holy Grail knight said: "The situation is not the same. Well, the barbarians destroyed all the villages to destroy possible supplies on our advance route. The forward led by Lord Aisen can only expel them but cannot destroy them. The Lyonnais Castle is still gathering troops."

"Khorne's, God's Chosen Champion?" Jules looked at the map and suddenly smiled: "It's a good gift. I will dedicate his head to the lady."

"The damned barbarians will eventually turn to ashes under the light of the lady!"

"These Chaos scum will pay for what they have done!"

At this time, a scout held a big flag and came to Yules and others: "Your Excellency Yules, we have the latest information."

"explain!"

"The barbarian army has already captured the Castle of Tours, and they are gathering in the nearby Nanz Plain! They seem to be planning a decisive battle with Duke Dalheide's army there!"
