The Sun King's Evidence

South, border of Bordero.

The army of 6,000 knights and 15,000 men led by Ryan is getting ready to go.

In recent years, the south of Britannia has been very prosperous. Of course, the number of knights has naturally increased significantly. In fact, it is not that many nobles cannot provide knights, but that they are unable to purchase enough knight equipment for their family children.

Once the equipment catches up, many knight families can immediately equip a large number of knights and knight retinues. Many nobles do not lack talents to become knights, but lack money.

The huge camp was full of knights, and everyone was waiting for Dalhaide's reply.

If Dalheide does not reply to the letter and grant Ryan military access, this army cannot go north to support Lyonnais, so even though the army is ready, they can only wait, and Francois has already led three thousand knights to escort a large amount of food and grass to Couros. Accepted.

Looking at the cloudy sky, Ryan stood alone on the hill of the camp, looking at the sky in the distance, frowning.

He was dressed in the attire of an earl, with the Sword of Nemesis hanging on his waist. The sword was about one and a half meters long, and the white gold cape behind him made a sound in the air.

"Ryan." Sulia, who was also fully armed and heroic, approached from behind. The two of them stood on the hill together. Not far away was the dividing line between Bordeaux and Mousilon, the Graysmoray River.

In fact, Ryan didn't really want Sulia to come with him. The Earl originally wanted Sulia to stay at home, so he could just bring Veronica and Theresa who had just returned to the Earl of Glamorgan.

But Lidya Su insisted.

The wedding of the two is not far away, and the female knight is not willing to stay at home and wait for news from Ryan. Whether it is victory or failure, she will face it with him.

They are an unmarried couple.

Ryan persuaded her for a while, but Sulia was firm. Finally, Ryan said with a smile: "Sulia, I have always felt that the greatest respect for a lady is to let you make your own choices. Do you still insist on going on the expedition with me?"

"I insist."

The earl said no more, and took his fiancée with him on the expedition.

Ryan turned around and found that Veronica was also there. The Gloria Witch, who was wearing a fiery red leather coat and outlined her proud figure...or should I say the female elder greeted Sulia respectfully first, and then complained to Ryan Said: "My dear, why have you been fighting all day long since I followed you? Can't you just settle down and have a good rest for a few years?"

"I thought so too, but the enemy didn't give us this chance." Ryan could only smile bitterly after hearing this. Since he came to Britannia, the war has really not stopped: "Maybe I have a destiny with war in this life."

"You'd better not say such unlucky words, Ryan." Teresa also appeared. The sorceress felt a little guilty when she returned to Glamorgan because the winter vacation homework that Morgiana left for her was not completed.

As a result, as soon as she came back, she heard the news that Ryan was going to go on an expedition. Morgiana had no time to pay attention to Theresa's winter vacation homework. She, the Fairy of the Lake and Ryan stayed together to discuss for several hours, and then asked Ryan to Prepare for war.

Teresa was very afraid that Morgiana would ask about her winter vacation homework. The sorceress usually avoided Morgiana, and Morgiana actually had few opportunities to appear in front of others. As a result, it was not until Ryan completed the army. When the expedition was announced, the sorceress happened to follow.

Similarly, Teresa also greeted Sulia respectfully, which made Ryan want to laugh.

Only by truly experiencing the harsh class system of this world like the Middle Ages can we know the gap in status. Since Ryan has become the divine champion and earl chosen by the Fairy of the Lake, it is impossible for him to marry a witch as his wife. The fairy in the middle will not agree, and neither will the nobles in the kingdom.

Veronica was the first to understand this truth, but Teresa was forced to understand it.

"According to the news from the front line, the Skarins tribe fought with the Kingdom troops of the Principality of Lyonnaise and Curona in the Nanz Plain. The knight army was ultimately defeated, but most of the knights and knight retinues have now withdrawn. Come out and retreat to Leonese Castle." Teresa brought a message, and the sorceress asked Ryan: "What should we do now? The matter is already very critical, do we have to wait here?"

"There is no news, we can only wait here." Ryan's face was calm: "We chose to send troops to rescue Leon Nasai out of chivalry, and we waited here at the border to respect the law."

"Out of chivalry, we can form reinforcements to assist him, but obviously, we cannot break the law in order to save Dalheid." Ryan turned around and explained to Theresa: "In addition to causing a series of diplomatic problems In addition, this will also be true. No matter whether we win or lose, if Dalhaide accuses us of illegal invasion in the kingdom's court, we will have to apologize and compensate for the losses later."

"But in my impression, as soon as the knights of Britannia heard that the kingdom was in danger, they would risk their lives to support them." Theresa understood what Ryan meant, and she said with interest: "Especially the Knights of the Holy Grail. , you are models of chivalry and living saints."

These words were a bit teasing and sarcastic, and Sulia glanced at the sorceress somewhat unhappily.

"There is no recklessness among the eight virtues of knights. Furthermore, we are the guardians of order. Let me give you an analogy. Suppose you are halfway through doing experiments in your magic workshop. Suddenly someone breaks in and says he can help you. Would you be happy if we did it together?" Ryan continued.

"Then I will definitely tell him to get out, and then I will reward him with a Pyroblast depending on the situation." Veronica lightly kicked Teresa with her high boots, signaling the sorceress to stop talking.

The two witches are still on the same side for the time being. After some exchanges between Veronica and Theresa, they reached several consensuses. They agreed to eat Ryan's cake together. Familiar people are better than unfamiliar opponents.

Teresa also realized something, and she changed her tone slightly: "I didn't mean that. What I meant was, if the news doesn't come, we just wait here?"

"We need to go out. There are three conditions, as long as one is met." Ryan continued to look into the distance: "First, Dalhaide asked us for help. This is a direct method, and then it is the king's order. If it doesn't work, the lady's oracle You can also send us out."

The large camp was full of knights and knights' retinues. At the same time, various dukes also sent many sergeants. As for the serf infantry regiment... Ryan also felt that this thing was useless against the barbarians. Except for the Duke of Bastogne, In addition to the two longbow battalions sent by Seamond, he brought a team of dwarf musketeers composed of the dwarf engineer Dugan Ironman.

After waiting from morning to afternoon, Ryan finally got the request for help from Duke Dalhaide. He ordered the army to set off immediately. He himself also rode on the pure-blood elf war horse Grape, preparing to go north to support Lyonnaise Castle.

Not long after the army left the camp gate, a small group of knights came from the other side of the field. These knights were very few in number, but after seeing them, the entire army stopped.

Because the costumes of these knights are very special.

They were all holding broad-bladed giant swords, riding on war horses, and wearing some old blouses and armor. The war horses were all carrying a cabinet on the back. No matter how damaged and old the cabinet was, the icon of the Lake Fairy on the cabinet was still as smooth as before. new.

They are glorious expedition knights. In order to pursue the Holy Grail, they have gone through a lot of hardships. But now, the kingdom is in trouble, and they choose to come to help the kingdom tide over the difficulties.

The Path of the Holy Grail never means that eradicating evil has nothing to do with them, because they originally embarked on the Path of the Holy Grail to eradicate evil and protect the land of the goddess.

The leading expeditionary knight took off his helmet, revealing a slender and cold face. His expression was serious, a long broad-blade giant sword was burning with red flames, and there was only anger and indifference in his eyes.

Ryan's knight Hex tried to communicate with him: "Who are you?"

"Call Ryan to come and talk! Who do you think you are!" the expedition knight said coldly, and Hux's face turned red with just one sentence.

Ryan frowned, wondering who this person was, and why he was so good at it?

Who would have thought that Armand, the Earl's flag bearer and Holy Grail Knight, would speak first. Armand's face was very excited. He took the initiative to step forward and extended his hand to say hello: "Long time no see! My friend, how are you?"

The expedition knight was a little surprised to see Armand. He stretched out his hand to shake Armand's hand, and the words that came out of his mouth were as hard as stone: "It turned out to be Armand. Are you loyal to Earl Lane now? Yes, it was he who killed the Red Duke. .”

Ryan now knew that things were not simple. He stepped forward and said, "Hello, I am Ryan Macado."

"The lady's divinely chosen champion took less than ten years to grow from a Nord country bumpkin to an earl. Hmm... his unstable breath is a sign that he is about to break through the holy realm." The expedition knight looked him up and down. , then stretched out his hand: "Hello, I am Hubald."

Hubbard? ! Is this person in front of me Hubald?

Ryan's heart was filled with huge waves, but his face remained calm. He shook hands with Hubbard and gave him a knighthood.

Hubald, Duke of Carcassonne, ruler of the Principality of Carcassonne!

Ryan and Hubald had never met each other, because when he came to Britannia, Duke Hubald had just embarked on the road to the Holy Grail not long ago. After that, there was no news for several years, and there was no news again. More news came. All the government affairs in the territory were handed over to the management of the Holy Sisters Order headed by Morgiana and the headquarters of the Holy Grail Knights at the Fairy Cathedral in Lake Carcassonne. After Morgiana was seriously injured, the Principality of Carcassonne In fact, it fell under the control of the Holy Grail Knights and several Lake God Prophets. For a period of time, the political situation was stable, quiet and peaceful.

On the surface, Hubbard has given up the title of Duke, but Ryan knows that this is only symbolic, because for the Holy Grail Knights, if they are ordinary kingdom knights (the fiefdom is usually a village or they enjoy a fixed income), they have completed After the Holy Grail Trial, they will give up their mortal duties and concentrate on guarding the holy land of the Lake Fairy. However, if the Kingdom Knight has a real title, then they will come back to restore their own after completing the Holy Grail Trial. title and fulfill one's obligations as a lord.

Because according to the instructions of the Lake Fairy, defending one's own territory is the best protection for the goddess' land.

"I know how strong you are, and I also understand how favored you are by the lady, so these expedition knights and I will obey your command." Hubbard said calmly: "We will fight side by side on the battlefield, I I will drive away those disgusting followers of Chaos with my sword and my lady's fury."

"Welcome." Ryan could see that Hubbard didn't want to say more, so he decided to say less and do more.

A group of expeditionary knights joined, and the army continued to set off.

"Your Excellency, we have such a powerful army, why can't we solve the problem of the northern barbarians?" A knight said to Ryan.

"The barbarians are very powerful. They defeated the knight armies of the Principality of Lyonnais and Kurona. We must not underestimate the barbarians. They are all warriors favored by the evil god." Ryan did not avoid his past at all: "At that time, I When I was a knight of the Kingdom in Nord, I would go to war with the barbarians almost every few years."

"After this battle is over, I will return to the territory..." Ryan wanted to say something else.

Lidya Su on the side immediately stretched out her little hand to cover his mouth, feeling embarrassed and annoyed: "Lian!"

The knights next to them all laughed and burst into laughter. Everyone knew that Earl Lane and Marquis Sulia were engaged, and they were considered to be a good match. Everyone gave their blessings, and judging from the happiness on the female knight's face , she was obviously very satisfied with the marriage, but she was too shy to let Ryan continue.

…………

The king of Skarins relied on his extremely strong physique and the powerful blessing from Khorne to persist until his adopted son Chakoy took the antidote for him, and Egil struggled to recover from the edge of death. .

After he woke up, the bad news came one after another. The Chaos Hell Cannon was destroyed and a large amount of food supplies were burned. How can the barbarian army conquer the strong castle of Lyonnais now?

And the bigger bad news is yet to come, his son was snatched away by the Brittanians! According to what many barbarian warriors saw with their own eyes, the woman who was pregnant with his son, Hangest, was taken away by the Holy Grail Knight Commander of Britannia!

Infinite rage flooded Egil's chest, and the king of Skarins vowed to wrest his son from the Bretons no matter what the cost.

Now, the first thing he has to face is the problem of how to conquer Lyonnasay Castle.

So on the first day, Egil personally led his troops to attack Lyonnasay Castle. This was a tentative attack. Sure enough, facing the desperate resistance of the large group of knights and the strong city defense, the barbarians lost more than 500 warriors. Britannia also lost dozens of knights and 300 peasant soldiers.

All men over the age of fifteen in the castle were forcibly recruited to guard the city wall. Egil knew that he could not defeat them this time, so he ordered a retreat.

However, this trial attack was not without success. When the barbarians stormed the city wall, the Chaos wizard Chakoy and his trusted Chaos Champion Kovindev took the opportunity to survey the waters near Lyonnasay Castle.

They found that the water near Lyonnaise Castle was very shallow, and the water in the shallowest place was only five or six meters deep.

Egil showed a bloodthirsty expression after listening to his subordinate's report.

He already had a plan to break the castle.
