Chapter 2: Griffin and Warriors! (The protagonist still failed to appear)
"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!" The bell sounds very urgent, which means the enemy is very strong.
"Guards! Guards!" At this time, King Uther threw away his previous weakness, his expression was as hard as iron, and he shouted loudly to the royal guards.
A group of knights in red smocks rushed in immediately, each of them holding a weapon. It was obvious that the situation was urgent, otherwise no one would draw their weapons in the king's dining room.
"Yes, YourMajesty." (Yes, my Majesty)
"What happened outside?" King Uther asked calmly. As a king, King Uther would never show an expression unbecoming of a king in front of anyone.
Several knights obviously didn't know how to explain it. King Uther was very unhappy with the knights' hesitation. Uther's father once taught him a sentence: Don't let your subjects be confused when they ask you for answers.
When the time comes, you must answer without hesitation! Even if the answer is made up.
King Uther deeply believed in this sentence, and he also asked his ministers to do so. Of course, he did not say the last sentence. But for the king's questions, if the ministers could not answer in time, then he wanted these ministers to have the answer.
What is it for?
"Leon! Tell me!" King Uther had no time to deal with these guys now, so he asked his most trusted knight, Leon, to answer the question.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Knight Lyon is a typical Celtic, with red hair and beard, slightly curly. Like the king he serves, he is a serious and rigid knight. However, at this time,
, this knight who had never hesitated in the past was a little hesitant to speak, because he knew how serious a sin it was to deceive the king. Although he did not think that the soldier who reported the message would lie, the problem was that the answer was unrealistic no matter how he sounded.
"It's a griffon... Your Majesty. The soldiers on the city wall saw the griffin flying towards Camelot." However, as a knight, Knight Lyon could only answer his monarch's question truthfully.
King Uther's head grew big when he heard the word gryphon. Recently, this monster has caused great damage to the surrounding villages. At least fifty people have been eaten, and countless properties and livestock have been lost. Uther
It’s not that the king didn’t organize soldiers to fight against it, but the problem is that the body of this beast is as hard as iron. The weapons of knights and soldiers have no effect at all when they are slashed on it. Instead, it will stimulate the ferocity of this monster. For this reason, King Uther lost a lot.
Soldier.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let the knights set off!" King Uther was too lazy to care about the hesitation of the previous knights. It would be a real disaster to let this monster enter Camelot.
Arthur couldn't care less about being depressed at this moment, and immediately called his little friend Merlin, asking him to prepare armor and weapons for him. He was the commander of the knights, and he didn't have time to sit here now.
But at this moment, Knight Lyon stopped Arthur with a strange look on his face.
"Wait, Your Highness!"
"What? Is there any more bad news?" King Uther was a little nervous due to Leon's surprise. The city of Camelot has definitely been in trouble recently, and bad news is always followed by another one.
A piece of bad news. King Uther has not had a good night's sleep in so many days, and he is a little numb.
"No...I'm not sure whether this is good news or bad news. I prefer to call it strange news..." Knight Lyon is not a person who likes to make wisecracks, but the news from the soldiers really made him a little confused.
Accurate. "The soldiers reported that the gryphon was fighting a man."
King Uther was very dissatisfied with the Knights of Lyon today. He spoke incoherently and lacked the rigor and stability that a knight should have. However, this strange news was not bad in King Uther's eyes. The gryphon's rampage before had made many
Both knights and soldiers have become timid. Now that someone dares to fight this monster, it is definitely exciting news.
When King Uther was about to give instructions to reward this warrior, Knight Lyon told all the unfinished news.
"They were fighting in the air..."
The words King Uther was about to say stopped in his throat. He looked at his knight in surprise and asked uncertainly: "In the air?"
On the other hand, Merlin, who was doing soy sauce on the side, became energetic when he heard this. After all, being able to fight griffins in the air seemed to be caused by magic! Merlin has always been very concerned about this aspect.
Of course there is another person who cares very much.
"Is it magic?" King Uther's face, which had been a little joyful just now, immediately became serious.
Camelot prohibits all magic and witchcraft. Anyone who dares to have anything to do with magic in the city of Camelot will be beheaded. There will be no exceptions and absolutely no mercy. And it all started with King Uther's decree.
, the most proud thing of this iron-fisted monarch in his life is that the laws of Camelot have never been broken. Anyone who dares to violate the laws will be punished with the cruelest punishment. King Uther treats magic.
He is particularly attentive, and any slightest disturbance will arouse the monarch's vigilance.
Upon hearing this, Arthur and Merlin looked at each other, the helplessness in their eyes was obvious.
Knight Lyon and others were not surprised. After all, the name of the tyrant King Uther did not come out in a day or two.
"I'm not sure, my majesty... at least the knights on the city wall didn't see any traces of magic." These knights of King Uther have killed countless wizards and mages with King Uther over the years. For some,
They are still very familiar with the traces of spells. "That... that warrior seems to be fighting on a griffin... at least that's the news I got."
King Uther secretly breathed a sigh of relief. King Uther knew the weirdness of spells and witchcraft best. If he could, he would never want to have anything to do with those ghosts in his life. Then King Uther expressed his hatred for the man who dared to
The warrior fighting the griffin in the air became interested.
King Uther has the same problem as any king of this era. He likes warriors, and the braver and more powerful the warriors are, the more they like them.
"Then let's go and see the heroic appearance of the warrior who dared to fight the griffin in the air!" After saying that, Ana couldn't control her curiosity and walked out first.
Arthur and his father had the same virtues, and both had a good impression of brave warriors. So he rushed out without even putting on his armor, not caring about the heavy armor behind him, and staggering after him.
of Merlin.
…
When everyone came to the city wall, the knights and soldiers on the city wall were not concentrating on defense, but were whistling and shouting "Come on".
As we all know, King Uther is a stern king, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a tyrant. So when he saw the chaos on the city wall, his face turned black... This is not a bit of Camelot.
Warrior style.
But soon, King Uther no longer had the intention to care about the lack of organization and discipline of his soldiers.
Because his mind was completely attracted by the battle in the sky.
…
An eagle chirped in the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a five-meter-long monster rolling and struggling in the air. It was a green-black monster with the head of an eagle and the body of a lion.
This monster has been very popular recently. Many knights and soldiers have seen it, but every time they meet it, the ending is not very happy.
So few people have a good impression of this monster. Now that they see someone beating it up, of course they have to cheer up. What's more, this monster's target this time is Camelot! They really don't want to face it again.
This is a monster.
It's not that they lack courage, but that they really have no choice. Their weapons can't do anything against this monster. How can they fight it? So they forget it. Now there is a warrior who can help them take down this monster. They think this is good and better.
