Warhammer Throne

In Brittany, there is an extremely old legend. Shortly after the death of the first knight king Arthur due to illness, a green knight appeared among the mountains and forests of Brittany.

He has always been silent, except for very few special circumstances, he almost never said anything, but his powerful image is far beyond mortal, he is the guardian of the kingdom of Breton knights, and is also a household name in the entire kingdom. .

He appeared among the mountains and forests, wandered under the shade of old big trees, moved in the clear lake, appeared in waterfalls, and fought with evil creatures that defiled the sacred place of the lake.

There is no doubt that the most important enemy of the Green Knight is the Beastman. In the thousands of years of battle, the Green Knight is very likely to slaughter tens of thousands of Beastman with his own power, which made him win among the Beastman. The title of "Soul Killer".

He is the champion of the Lake Fairy herself, a demigod walking in the world, and the only existence in Brittany with strength above the sanctuary.

The gloomy green light was shining on the dim woodland, and Karad swallowed his saliva. First of all, his heart was joyful, and then he was serious as if he was facing an enemy.

The Excalibur Durandale was held tightly by him, waiting for the Green Knight's response.

For the expedition knights, the appearance of the green knight represents an important symbol of the expedition.

That is, Kalad’s Holy Grail expedition is about to usher in an important test.

The Green Knight will challenge the expedition knight to test his martial arts and piety. This matchup is a true champion showdown. The expedition knight must use all his skills, otherwise if he loses, he will be killed. Danger.

This is not nonsense. Some ignorant people often raise their own questions in the tavern about the bards and even the holy grail knights, that is, why the green knight with demigod power would attack the expeditionary knight with the general strength of the legendary rank. ?

The only reasonable explanation is that the Green Knight never exerts all his strength, and weapons are difficult to cause damage to the Green Knight. Swords and arrows penetrate the Green Knight’s body, just like flying through the morning mist, and nothing can be cut. No matter how badly the green knight was injured, he would not die. There was once an expeditionary knight who directly decapitated the green knight by relying on powerful bravery, but the green knight only calmly picked up his head with his hands and left.

The green knight's figure is illusory, his emerald eyes hidden in the helmet, looking at Kalad, the green knight said: "Knight traveling far, accept my test."

"Please." Karad nodded calmly, and it was time to fight.

The green-eyed king rides on a war horse that can no longer be called a living thing. This war horse spews green smoke, and its figure is looming in the illusion, just like the green knight's deity, the opponent is in the illusion. In addition to the sword of pain in his hand, Kalad even doubted whether the opponent really existed.

The coolness in his heart soaked the heart and lungs of the expedition knight, and Kalad gradually realized that just staring at such a mysterious and unpredictable thing brought him terrible pressure.

The Green Knight obviously didn't intend to give Calad a chance to breathe. When he noticed that the opponent was already on the horse and ready to fight, the Green Knight immediately drove his mount and launched a charge.

So fast! It's so fast! As soon as Kalad forced himself to turn his attention back, the charge of the Green-Eyed King was close at hand, his pace was like a phantom, penetrating all obstacles, and the ethereal figure allowed the branches to scrape his armor. In the blink of an eye, he was already close to Karad.

"Come!" Calad thought to the holy words of the fairy in the lake. He held the excalibur that Jules had left him with both hands. The excalibur was burning with golden flames, urging the horses and sharp blades. An arc was drawn in the air, the challenge sound from his mouth sounded a peculiar melody, the infinite anger encircled Calad's will, and Durandale's fierce blade arc pointed directly at the green knight's head.

The Green Knight faced Calad's challenge without a word, and the green sword of pain in his hand slashed towards Calad with the might of the sky and the earth.

"Dang~" The fierce sparks from the sword-blade confrontation made Calad almost unable to open his eyes. The Green Knight’s blow was enough to kill him several times. The Expeditionary Knight cleverly used his power to block the Green Knight’s. Attack, the two sides crossed.

This is the first round.

"Come again!" The expedition knight squinted his eyes. He felt the strength of the opponent. Kalad almost roared like a brave: "Use all your skills! Lord of Green Eyes!"

"..." The Green Knight turned a deaf ear to Calad's words. The Green-Eyed King just turned his horse's head, faced Calad again, and launched a charge.

The green figure turns into a meteor and rolls in, just like imagined. The Green Knight ignores any terrain restrictions. His movement is not affected by the branches of the forest and the muddy ground at all. His actions are like a destructive phantom, only The sword of pain in his hand exudes an astonishing killing intent, and there is no emotion in the eyes of the green-eyed king.

Karad wasn't sure what was the reason, it was because he lost all his feelings as a human being in the thousands of years of war? Or do you mean that the other party is not human?

The expedition knight didn't know. What he knew was that if he didn't cheer up, there was a real possibility of being killed. The green knight would never be merciful to the expedition knight.

I will not lose! Accompanied by fear was a strong fighting spirit, and Kalad clenched the divine sword in his hand.

Durandale witnessed the glory and ending of Ulles, and now this sword will also witness him.

fighting! ! !

Karad yelled, he only felt the flame of anger ignited in his chest, and the lady's knight would never admit defeat! no way!

"Clang!" Durandale confronted the Blade of Pain again. The blade in the Green Knight's hand rotated back and forth. In one round, Calad faced the Green Knight with six fierce attacks.

"Um! Um!" Calad hurriedly resisted the Green Knight's attack. He flipped the blade, and the flame on Durandale's blade forced the Green Knight to retract the Blade of Pain. The horses staggered. Second This is the end of this round.

Turning the horse's head, Kalad held his sword in both hands: "Come again!"

"..." The Green Knight said nothing.

Fight again.

Just in the Arden Forest, in the fog of the Green Knight, a great championship duel kicked off.

Kalad's posture is like an angry lion. He proudly and proudly shows his strength, challenging the green knight who sits on the throne of the lion king.

The rule of the Green Knight is a lion king who reigns over the herd. He has the freedom to enjoy the championship duel from the challenger. The king of green eyes has never said a word. His power flows endlessly like an eternal waterfall, every time With a swing, the power of the Green-Eyed King is a bit stronger than before.

The collision between the Blade of Pain and Durandale is endless. The strength of the expeditionary knight Calad is even stronger than the ordinary Holy Grail knight by three points. As a strong man at the pinnacle of the legend, Calad has gained countless results from two years of experience. He had already integrated his riding skills, swordsmanship, and spirit into one. In the infinite martial arts and the blessing of the goddess, he kept up with the green knight's growing power.

The crazy tug of war began.

In the mist, the brave expeditionary knight and the legendary green knight began a never-ending battle.

The clash of gods and soldiers played in the woods. It seems that only the expeditionary knights and the green knights are left in the sky and the earth. Guard the country as it fights against endless enemies.

This is a championship duel that is destined not to belong to mortals.

Time has lost its meaning, the sky has lost its color, everything has lost its existence, and the only thing left is the figure of Kalad and the Green Knight fighting.

The sun rises and sets, from the refreshing morning, from the morning when the sun rises, until the afterglow of the sunset and the evening when the night falls, and then to the cool morning, the championship matchup continues.

Calad’s horse can no longer be sustained. The Expeditionary Knight chose to fight in foot, and the Green Knight is obviously seeking a fair duel. The horse fight has become a foot fight. Under the understanding of far beyond mortals, one round, two rounds, Three rounds...

Fifty rounds...

One hundred rounds...

Two hundred rounds...

Two days and one night had passed by the time the championship match reached the five hundredth round.

Calad’s body was so scarred that even the dwarf’s rune-engraved plate armor could not resist the attack of the Green Knight. Despite the blood, Calad was full of energy and never tired. The expedition knight was silently reciting the names of Ulles and Anara. His scarred body and tortured heart never compromised with the enemy.

This is the vow he made to the body of Ulles, and he will keep it until he becomes a Knight of the Holy Grail...or until he dies.

Contrary to his imagination, the Green Knight stood in front of him but did not lift up the Blade of Suffering. The eyes of the Green-Eyed King seemed to flash with a sense of identity and regret for a moment. Kalad did not understand why, but He immediately adjusted his breathing, and then continued to fight.

Durandale was still as sharp as ever after two days and one night of hard work. The Expeditionary Knight instinctively cut Durandale towards the Green-Eyed King, and the Green Knight avoided him. He stretched out his surprised gaze. Holding his neck with one hand, the expedition knight was raised on the spot, and the green phantom used his other hand without emotion and slammed it on Calad's chest.

The expedition knight felt his ribs broke on the spot. He endured the pain of his internal organs and pierced the green knight's shoulder with the sword.

The Green Knight didn't seem to have been hurt. He calmly threw Kalad to the distance. When Kalad's body hit the water, he found that the place of battle had become a lake, blessed by the fairies in the lake. In the middle, he stood on the crystal clear lake, and the face of the expedition knight was reflected in the reflection of the lake.

The power of the whole body is fading away. Kalad understands that he is a mortal after all. In the face of the powerful green knight, he cannot win victory, even if he has the blessing of the fairy in the lake, even if he has a strong will and the will of Ulles. , It is impossible for him to fight like this forever.

So what is the significance of this challenge? His strength has long surpassed many ordinary holy grail knights! He shouldn't be the one that failed!

Something must be wrong, the expedition knight recalled Ulles's teaching.

"Knighthood is not the spirit that guides us to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."

"Some things are more valuable than life."

"The Holy Grail makes me strong and long-lived, and I also have to take my responsibilities."

It was another round of confrontation. Calad was forced back again. The Green Knight seemed to have given up using the Blade of Pain. He still looked at Calad calmly, as if waiting for something.

"Humility, honesty, compassion, bravery, justice, sacrifice, honor, and soul." Karad meditated on the teachings of the fairy in the lake. On the knight.

The wind passes, the lake moves, the wind stops, the lake is quiet.

When the bright moonlight reflected from the sky above the lake, the expedition knight already understood everything.

"Puff." Karad put down Durandale, the expedition knight with tears in his eyes, he knelt on one knee, and gave his life to the green knight for execution: "The duty of the knight is to protect, not destroy, my strength, I My soul, my will will protect the land that the lady has given us and fight, relying on my own bravery, and the abuse of force will only add more blood and hatred to the mortal world, and my sword only exists for protection."

After that, Calad gave up the championship matchup.

The green knight nodded slowly, the mist filled the sky.

A faintly beautiful song gradually sounded from the lake. It was an ancient fairy song. Such beautiful voices churned under the lake, and the white moonlight enveloped the entire lake.

In the radiance of the gods, the graceful figure of the fairy in the lake appeared from below the surface of the water. She wore a golden corolla on her head, and a silk-like blond hair hanging straight down her ankles, and her blue eyes were shining brightly and covered with light. The silk dress of emeralds and iris petals is engraved with countless ancient words, and her indescribable beauty was shown before the expedition knight.

"My lady!" Karad knelt down on her knees, and the bright golden light wrapped the expedition knight. The fairy in the lake was smiling. She looked at the knight who was kneeling in front of her. Her voice was like a clear spring in the mountains. People’s hearts: "Calade-de-Garamente, you have proved your martial arts and your virtues."

The expedition knight only felt his heart beating faster, his face was hot, and his head was lowered. Kalad did not dare to look directly at the beauty of the goddess: "My lady...I..."

"The Holy Grail was not obtained by the knights." The fairy in the lake was still smiling, and her voice made the expedition knights feel ashamed: "It was obtained by the knights themselves. You have proven that you are qualified to get the Holy Grail. The brave man, there is no doubt about it."

"Now, this is your reward." The goddess held the golden holy cup in her white jade-like hands, and the pure and glowing serum rippled in the cup: "Don't forget, you are a knight dedicated to spreading the virtues of knights, the glory of justice. , So I give you the Holy Grail."

"Thank you very much." When the gem-encrusted Holy Grail approached Kalad's dry lips, the Expeditionary Knight finally lowered his head and took a sip from the Holy Grail.

His body was changed forever.

After drinking the water of the Holy Grail, infinite power flooded Karad's soul, his eyes were red, and a faint aura was emitted from them, his body was healed, and the golden light was flowing in his body.

His height has become taller and his appearance has become younger. The wind and frost on his face and the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes disappeared under the power of the Holy Grail. At the same time, a terrible aura erupted from his chest.

The expedition knight who has suffered, lost his mentor, and loved ones has officially advanced to the sanctuary.

"Go back, go back to your territory... Karad." The figure of the fairy in the lake slowly descended on the surface of the lake, and her long golden hair was gradually submerged by the lake: "Fulfill your duty, my Holy Grail knight."

"I will." The newly promoted holy grail knight knelt down again full of piety.

The Green Knight also disappeared, and only Karad was left alone on the calm lake.

The moon is over in the sky.

"My lady, thank you!"
