The Sun King's Evidence

Chapter 439: Move to Gisoleaux

Above the sky, fifty Pegasus knights from the Swift Sky Spear Club were penetrating through the clouds and falling rapidly.

Kemmler was attacked and in a hurry, he lost control of the undead army. The entire army instantly turned into a group of irrational rabble, who only knew how to rely on instinct to fight.

The time when the Undead Archmancer lost control of the entire legion was very short, only about thirty seconds. When Kemmler regained control of the legion from the protection of the Soulbinding Knight, the Undead Archmancer was immediately keenly aware of what was happening in the battle. Variety.

The Pegasus knights of the Swift Sky Spear Society swooped down from high altitude like a whirlwind and quickly swept away the undead army on the city wall. The impact of the Pegasus knights pushed the out-of-control Tomb Guards and Skeleton Warriors down the city wall.

Ryan, who missed the hit, immediately drove his Griffin Imperius to make a sharp turn in the air. The golden Griffin's wings spread wide and drew a spin in the air. Then, the Griffin Imperius made a sharp turn. It swooped down, stretched out its front paws amidst the screams, and grabbed the head of one of the tomb demons. It pecked three times with its sharp beak, and several strips of carrion were torn off the neck of the other tomb demon. .

Thor's hammer hit, and several key structures of the siege ram that was attacking the city gate were destroyed.

The Pegasus knights followed Ryan's footsteps. They raised their lances and rushed down the city wall, defeating the barren guards responsible for protecting the connection between the ladder and the city wall.

Duke Fourcade and Kalad reacted, and they loudly ordered the soldiers to launch a counterattack. The undead army on the city wall was defeated steadily in the chaos and was unable to support them.

"The situation has changed!" When Kemmler regained control of the Tomb Army in his own hands, the Undead Archmancer discovered that the situation on the battlefield had changed, and the human defenders had regained the advantage.

More importantly, Kemmler himself has been exposed. The figure of the undead wizard has been exposed in the military formation. This is too dangerous for him. Kemmler himself is really not very good at close combat. If he is facing an ordinary He can barely match the legendary knights such as Duke Fourcade, but the Holy Grail knight riding on the griffon is obviously a great knight of the Holy Realm!

He can't deal with that.

Will Gul be dispatched?

Kemmler reached out to the sword hanging at his waist.

This sword is called the Chaos Gravedigger Sword. It is a gift given to him by the Four Gods of Chaos. The sword is engraved with the octagonal emblem of Chaos. The souls of enemies killed by this sword will be enslaved by him forever and will never be reincarnated.

Of course, if you summon Gul, you can continue the fight, but no one knows when Francois and his reinforcements will arrive. If you continue to fight forcefully, you will not only fall into a dangerous situation of being attacked from both sides, but also expose Gul prematurely. A trump card.

After thinking for a moment, Kemmler decided to give up. He shouted to Mathhubard behind him: "Mahubard, prepare to retreat. You bring your people to my rear. If all the knights here come out to pursue, My Cairn Spiritbinder Legion and Spiritbinder Knights will assist you!"

"Mahubard?" Kemmler turned around without waiting for the answer he wanted.

Mathhubad and his army have all disappeared!

Damn it! This bastard can run faster than me! Kemmler's face was ferocious, and he immediately thought of Mashubade's plan.

He also wants to sell Mathhubad! In the end, this guy actually escaped before me!

withdraw! withdraw! Kemmler immediately ordered the army to retreat. He mounted his armored nightmare horse and led his Tomb Army to retreat towards the north.

The siege of Montfort Castle was finally lifted. The remnants of the undead soldiers who lost Kemmler's order turned into a rabble, and were easily defeated by the morale-shocked defenders. As Kemmler moved away, the remaining undead army Disintegrate into a pile of slag.

When Ryan rode a griffon and landed on the high wall of Montfort Castle, Duke Fourcade immediately came up to him. He even asked Ryan anxiously: "Why don't you pursue? Why don't you pursue? Those undead? We managed to hold on to the castle, we should attack immediately and annihilate these undead in one fell swoop!"

"If conditions permit, of course I hope to pursue the undead, my Lord the Duke." Ryan shook his head repeatedly: "Unfortunately, the only ones who came to support were me and the Swift Sky Spear Club. It will take at least a day and a half for the knight army to arrive."

"Did you come here day and night?" Duke Fourcade was stunned for a moment. Only then did the Duke himself notice that the reinforcements were only Ryan and fifty Pegasus knights from the Swift Sky Spear Society.

"Yeah." Ryan nodded calmly and shrugged: "Fortunately, I wasn't late."

"On behalf of the Principality of Montfort, I will always thank you and Francois for their efforts!" Fourcade sighed. The Duke himself hesitated for a moment, but still thanked Ryan and others as a Duke: "It's been a hard work coming all the way, thank you. , you saved 80,000 people."

"We have to save more people next!" Fastrik, the leader of the Swift Sky Spear Club, "Ghoul Killer" jumped off the Pegasus. Thanks to Ryan's accurate discovery of Kemmler's figure and launched In the surprise attack, the fifty Pegasus knights did not suffer any damage. He said seriously: "The attack of the undead army is not over. We need to decide the outcome with them after all."

"Yes." Duke Fourcade nodded heavily, full of anger: "Yes, we will make the undead pay the price for this!"

"Let's wait here for the arrival of Duke Francois's army!" Kalad came up and greeted Ryan. The expedition knight had fought hard for several days and looked very tired: "Everyone in the entire castle Our troops are very tired, many people are injured, and everyone needs to rest."

Ryan and others also nodded. Ryan and fifty Pegasus knights rode their mounts and flew for a day to get here. They could still hold on, but their mounts couldn't hold on either.

Duke Fourcade of Montfort turned around and looked at his castle. Montfort Castle was defended. His home could be rebuilt after it was destroyed, and his livestock could be raised again after it was destroyed. With such a strong city, the undead would no longer be able to shake his glory. .

But when he turned his gaze to his soldiers, a pinprick of pain pierced the Duke's heart.

He had previously ordered that all refugee men between the ages of fifteen and forty-five must go to the battlefield. Relying on his forced allocation, the garrison exceeded 10,000 people.

Now, the soldiers are clearing the scene in vain under the command of the knight. Many infantrymen are limping and staggering. They were injured in the battle. The war with the undead is unusually cruel. This is not a human civil war or ordinary annihilation. Goblin's security war is a bitter battle against the undead. Many infantrymen cannot understand why their compatriots turn into terrifying zombies and skeletons in the next second, but they still raise their swords and guns towards their former brothers and feet.

Over the endless years, Montfort people have learned to be strong.

But the strength of mortals can't do anything. If it weren't for Ryan's forced march to support, these soldiers would have suffered terrible losses and eventually become one of the undead. How many wives would lose their husbands, how many children would lose their fathers, how many old people would Lost his son, lost the hope of his family?

Thinking of this, Fourcade stopped Ryan who was about to turn around and leave. The latter seemed to feel that he was not liked by Fourcade, so he left under the guidance of the butler: "Your Excellency Ryan, please stay."

"What's the matter? My Duke?" Ryan turned around and asked curiously. The war hammer in his hand was still stained with dark blood, which was the blood of the tomb demons. Two tomb demons died under his hammer.

"You're not bad." Fourcade came to Ryan's ear. The thoughts in his mind were changing back and forth. The Duke himself looked at his territory and his people rejoiced because of the aftermath of the disaster, because Ryan's arrival was everywhere. While watching, he felt a little shaken in his heart. Duke Montfort patted him on the shoulder and said in Ryan's ear: "You know, Richard and I have a very good relationship."

"So?" Ryan's heart moved.

"But who knows what will happen in the future?" After finishing these words, Fourcade left without looking back: "Have a good rest, Mr. Ryan."

Ryan smiled meaningfully.

His efforts to urge the air force to march to support Francois, his father-in-law, were indeed not in vain.

…………

In the northern hills of Montfort Principality, on the upper reaches of the Graysmoray River, ten kilometers away from Montfort Castle.

The Great Undead Wizard Kemmler led his army to retreat to the plains near the town of Soden. Before he could contact Mathubad, he found that the Duke of Mousilon was waiting here with two legions of undead knights and a group of blood knights. He, among others, were followed by two vampire lords and three Black Grail Knights.

Kemmler was so angry when he saw Mathubad. His old face was wrinkled, and he said sarcastically: "You are really fast, Duke Mousilon? Yours The godfather taught you how to escape in battle? Do you want to be proud that you can run faster than Wallace?"

Amber Wallace, the ancestor of the blood dragon, the ancestor of all blood knights, the Blood Red Duke himself is the blood descendant of Wallace (he himself does not know it), and Mathubad himself also learned from Amber Wallace. combat skills.

In history, the Green Knight, the guardian knight of the Kingdom of Britannia, the guardian of secrets, and already a demigod, once had a duel with the ancestor of the blood dragon, Amber Wallace, and the outcome was indifferent.

Amber Wallace never backed down from a fight, Kemmler was satirizing Mathew Bader.

"I am leading the army to meet you here." Mashubade's face was always calm. He looked at Kemmler calmly: "If you choose to retreat, then this is where our pre-war headquarters is. If you choose to fight with Bu Let the Retanians fight to the death, and I won’t stop you.”

"You are my assistant, you should obey my orders!" Kemmler put the Noisy Skull Staff on Mahhubard's head, and he threatened viciously: "A coward like you alone If you run away, maybe I can use my magic to blast you into pieces and turn you into a withered walking corpse?"

"I'm just your ally, Lord Kemmler. I'm not your servant. Do you think that apart from enemies, the only people left in your life are servants?" Mashubade was completely unaware of Kemmler's threat. , On the contrary, he smiled sarcastically: "We are allies, I am not your servant, never will be, you can never order me."

Mashubade pulled out the black blade from his waist. This cursed knight's sword was wrapped with a golden serpent sculpture. He opened Kemmler's staff and then raised the blade: "Come on. , Lord Kemmler, you can pull out the sword from your waist, fight me for victory, and lose your last ally in this land, or we can pretend that nothing happened and discuss what to do next. .”

Chaos Gravedigger Sword! Kemmler grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist.

No, at least not now.

"Go north to Artois and Gisoleaux! Tell me where the corpses of Duke Zilfroy of Artois and his knight family are." Kemmler gave up arguing with Mathhubard. He thought that Mahhubard was still useful now: "We will wait for the main force of Britannia there and defeat them in one fell swoop!"

When Mahhubard is no longer useful, it's time to summon Gul and kill Duke Mousilon.

The time for a decisive battle is not yet ripe.

But it doesn't matter, let the country feel the pain first.

Mathhubad was a little curious. He had seen the combat effectiveness of Kemmler's Tomb Army. It was indeed very strong, but it did not have a particularly obvious advantage against the Chivalry Army.

Why is he confident that he can eat up Britannia's main force?

More importantly, Mahhubard always felt that there was something wrong with Kemmler's behavior, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Kemmler... is a little too fond of killing and destruction. As an undead, it is necessary to kill chickens to scare monkeys and create corpse pits appropriately, but the goal of the undead is to rule, not to destroy, after all.

Is it caused by his hatred for this country?

Over the next two weeks, Heinrich Kemmler and his Tomb Legion began to roam the mountains of the Gray Mountains and the giant woodlands of the Arden Forest. The Tomb Legion attacked every settlement along the way. Dozens of villages were completely destroyed by the attack of the undead army. The undead army was like a snowball, growing bigger and bigger.

The armies of the Kingdom of Knights are exhausted, blocking back and forth, but the shrewd undead wizard never appears on the plains and hills. He and his army only move in the mountains and forests. The undead are tireless and do not need to rest. The knights simply pursue them. Not following in the footsteps of the Tomb Legion.

The Principality of Gisoleaux was attacked by Kemmler's devastating attack. One town after another was reduced to scorched earth, and one village after another turned into a huge corpse pit. Count Jean-Harun, who was responsible for staying in the principality, was anxiously mobilizing troops to defend various places. At the pass, he frantically asked for help from the entire kingdom.

In late autumn, in the south of the Principality of Gisoleaux, in a forest clearing.

The knightly army from the south is stationed here.

"We received news from Regent Lawn that the knightly army in the north is still gathering and reorganizing." Duke Francois of Winford, Duke Fourcade, Ryan and others stood together and looked at the map.

Three black lines cover the entire Principality of Gisoleaux. Currently, only some strongholds in the north and east of the principality have not yet been captured. The south has been completely occupied by the undead army, and more than 60% of the lords have fallen.

"The Duke of Laune only gathered knights from the two principalities of Connet and Le-Angoulant. The principality of Lyonnais refused to send troops." Duke Fourcade frowned and said dissatisfied: "Aldre De is really confused!"

"Last year, under the invasion of Egil, the strength of the principalities in the north suffered a huge blow. The Principality of Lyonnais still has a lot of no-man's land in the north. There are constant civil strife, serf rebellions, cult activities, complicated title succession and noble civil strife. , it is understandable that they are unable to send troops." Ryan whispered: "Duke Aldreeld currently cannot control the principality himself, let alone send troops to support us."

"We cannot advance rashly. No one knows what is waiting for us ahead." Kalad looked at the map and continued: "This is how the reinforcements in Bastogne were wiped out."

Everyone nodded.

Despite repeatedly emphasizing the need to act together, Count Jean-Rabiot from Bastogne still led an army of 2,000 men to rush to rescue Guisoleaux. The result was that the entire army was annihilated, and he himself was resurrected as A member of the Undead Knights.

This defeat caused the Brittanian nobles to blame each other. The southerners accused the northerners of being slow to come to support, and the northerners accused the southerners of being arrogant. Even though the army had arrived in the south of Guisoleaux, they still refused to fight. The decisive battle between the Tomb Legions resulted in the annihilation of Count Rabiot and his reinforcements.

In the end, Ryan and Lawn stood up together and used the will of the Lake Fairy to suppress the argument.

But there is no way to go on like this. Prestige will eventually run out.

Everyone stood together and discussed for a long time. The dilemma they faced now was that if they marched slowly, the army of knights would not be able to catch up with the undead army. If they marched hastily, they would be easily annihilated if they encountered an ambush.

After thinking for a while, Ryan suddenly set his sights on the Black Stone Stronghold.

"I have a plan..." whispered the Earl of Glamorgan.

"What's the plan?" Francois asked casually.

"That is……"
