PS: The recent plot is indeed a bit stretched. There are too many National Day activities, and we often socialize and drink in the evening, which has led to a decline in the quality of the writing. Please forgive me. Today the emperor apologizes for the second time!
A military meeting of the Chivalry Army was held at Newland.
Bertrand stood in front of the map and described the current situation.
"The scouts reported that there are about 20,000-30,000 barbarians coming from the east and north towards Newland." Bertrand, with a big beard on his face, said in a deep voice: "The current situation is...
In other words, the enemy is far inferior to us in both quantity and quality."
"Based on the existing Newland intelligence and the intelligence from the last Lawn investigation, the enemy's commander should be the self-proclaimed King of Obien, Harold Gevinson." Bertrand continued: "This
He is a very powerful warlord of the Holy Realm, and his estimated strength is at the beginning level of the Holy Realm. Well, he is very powerful, especially for you."
"Hahahaha!" bursts of laughter came from the big tent.
The ones present alone are Ryan, Olica, and Francois who are at the peak of the Sanctuary, Kalad is at the high level of the Sanctuary, Veronica, Bodrick, and Bertrand are at the intermediate and elementary level of the Sanctuary.
There were also several, such as one of François's female courtiers, Chasis-Morning Star.
According to intelligence, the most powerful force of the Obion Barbarians is Harold's Guards, a group of Norscan Barbarian heavy-armed champion warriors, with a number of about three to four hundred people. In terms of quality, let alone the Old Guards and
The Knights of the Holy Grail, even the elites under the major dukes, can compete with this army.
As for the legendary powerhouses, it goes without saying. More than thirty Holy Grail knights and dozens of kingdom knights are all legendary powerhouses, and there are nearly two hundred legendary powerhouses in the Old Guards alone.
Ryan remembered that there were only twenty or thirty legendary strongmen in the entire Nord Kingdom, and there were only two in the Holy Domain.
Is it true that the Holy Land is everywhere, and the legends are not as good as dogs?
In fact, Ryan knew very well that this was not the case, but that his exposure and horizons were different.
"Where do these barbarians get their confidence?" Francois said sarcastically: "There are only thirty thousand people at most, and they want to resist our royal masters. Wait, let me get to know this King of Obien well.
, and then see what good things are in his fortress."
"I heard that there are mineral deposits everywhere in the Beast Mountain Range. This time we are going to rob it." Duke Bodrick said easily: "A few years have passed, let me see how much inventory the barbarians have accumulated."
"Don't take it lightly, everyone." Ryan spoke, Orica stood behind him, and the Knight King sat on the main seat and said to everyone: "My opinion is, try to fight with the barbarians in the field, and don't defend the city."
"Your Majesty, defending the city is beneficial to us." Marshal Rokossovsky asked puzzledly: "Why should we give up defending the city?"
"Defending the city means being passive, and fighting in the field means taking the initiative. The initiative on the battlefield has always been very important." Ryan said slowly: "Moreover, Newland has no high walls or deep trenches to defend. Furthermore, if you choose to defend the city, then
It is tantamount to exposing how many troops we actually have and how much combat effectiveness the Imperial Army has."
"So I think it's better to take the initiative and leave only a small number of defenders to unite with the Imperial Army to defend Newland. This can show the power of a horn. If we are unfavorable in the first battle, we still have troops behind us to provide reinforcements and support. If the battle situation is tense,
The defenders in Newland can serve as a strong deterrent force." Ryan continued: "At least they can shout for support and make the barbarians fearful."
"It's like a tiger on the mountain, right?" My father-in-law was the first to understand what Ryan meant.
"That's right." Ryan said easily: "There is no need to attack directly with the entire army. Obien's thick fog and heavy rain often do not form an absolute advantage in numbers. Instead, they will cause problems in our command."
Do you think about defeat first before thinking about victory? Marshal Rokossovsky frowned. He thought to himself that this might be the difference between the King of Knights and ordinary people. If it were him, he would definitely have the whole army to press forward and strive for the best.
Quick win.
However, personal military tactics are different, so there is no need to take it too seriously. For example, it is difficult for Luo Shuai and Francois to talk together. My father-in-law is very cautious in using troops, and he and Luo Shuai often make big bets and suppress the whole army.
The style of leaving no room for retreat is really not the same thing.
Each marshal's fighting style is different and cannot be generalized.
"How long does it take for the scouts to expect the barbarians to arrive near Newland?" Lane asked Bertrand.
"Not sure, it should be about 3-5 days." Bertrand said subconsciously: "And Your Majesty, Newland is a large area. We can't be sure when or where the opponent will attack."
"It doesn't matter, we let the other party choose the location of the decisive battle." Ryan sneered and said: "And we decide the time of the decisive battle."
After saying that, the Knight King stood up: "Everyone, this is our first battle in Obien. Obviously we are far superior to our enemies in terms of quantity and quality, but because of this, we cannot do anything in any way.
You can relax your vigilance, but you must cheer up and make a good start for this great expedition!"
"yes!"
After arranging the strategic plan, Ryan was not idle. The Knight King immediately took Orika and Veronica and walked towards Obien's Stonehenge.
Veronica now put on a fiery red leather jacket and high boots for combat. The female speaker's outfit also looked very attractive, especially the tight leather jacket that completely outlined her figure and her proud waistline.
After that, Veronica
Holding Ryan's arm, he complained to her: "It rains. It rains for several days in a row, and then there is thick fog and cloudy days. My dear, did you choose the wrong person? Theresa and Aurora
That’s why I should have come to this damn place, I’m so annoyed!”
"If you're bothered, you can go back and I'll accompany the master." Olica followed Ryan and held an umbrella. The dark elf was still wearing her black and white maid uniform, but a pale dress began to appear on her body.
A large number of cloaks with black flower patterns. At the same time, for the first time, the long staff exuding the cold air from the underworld appeared in Orika's hand. The top of the dark blue long staff was inlaid with a blood-red gem. Inside the gem was
Countless ghosts were screaming in pain and begging.
This scene made Veronica feel a little panicked. She could vaguely know what it was. It was a soul, and it was countless enslaved souls. Some of them were very powerful beings, but now they can only be controlled by Orika.
I prayed for her mercy and forgiveness.
At the same time, the white maid silk scarf on Orica's head has turned into a purple-white artifact crown that absorbs the surrounding light. It is full of divine power. A "♀" sign is inserted into the crown.
above.
The power above was so terrifying that Veronica couldn't help but want to get closer to Ryan.
Ryan didn't think too much as always, he came to Stonehenge.
Albien Stonehenge, a famous relic of prehistoric times, a symbol of the glory and perseverance of the ancient saints, also known as Salisbury Stone Circle, Ring of Stones, Temple of the Sun, Prehistoric Stone Table, Stonehenge Stone Railing,
Named as the Token Standing Stone Circle, some majestic boulders stand in a ring shape in the green wilderness.
Stonehenge is composed of huge stones, each weighing about 50 tons. Its main axis, the ancient road leading to the stone pillars, and the rising sun on the morning of the summer solstice are on the same line. In addition, there are two connected stones.
The line points in the direction of sunset on the winter solstice.
According to existing information, the purpose of establishing Stonehenge by the Ancient Sages was to maintain and maintain the great guardianship. After the Ancient Sages left the world in a hurry, the Truth Talkers were responsible for the maintenance of Stonehenge.
However, as time flies, after thousands of years of repeated incest and isolation in the dense fog of Albion, the Truth Talkers have long forgotten the knowledge of Stonehenge, what functions it has, and how to activate it. They only remember
They figured out how to maintain these things, and after the Be'lak incident, the True Speakers not only split into the Dark Messengers who knelt in Chaos, but most of them finally left Obiun.
Ryan nodded to Veronica and Orika, and then walked to the center of Stonehenge alone. The spiritual energy in his body turned into a halo of light and injected into the ground of Stonehenge.
Lightning exploded in the sky, thunder continued, and under the heavy rain, gravel flew up from the ground of Stonehenge. The green light of the six-pointed star and the eight-pointed star enveloped Ryan, and spiritual energy was injected into the ground along the six-pointed star and the eight-pointed star. According to the complex
The silk threads passed to the huge stones that were still standing, and the surfaces of the stones weighing dozens of tons lit up with an ancient light.
Ryan's consciousness began to sink into the depths of the magic circle.
The vortex was disturbed, and from another world, certain beings responded to the power of Stonehenge and heard ancient voices.
"Son of the Ancient Sage, you are finally here." The voice seemed very dry and old.
"Who are you?"
"I am Donald Trump. I was not diagnosed with the Corona virus. Hope Hicks betrayed me. He, along with Fudge and Biden, put me under house arrest in the White Palace! And then he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to monopolize power.
Without my help, Mike Pence will be doomed and Biden will win the election,
Son of the Ancient Saint, I need your help. I need you to pour all your power into Stonehenge. Let me escape from the white palace and go to Washington, D.C. to gather my troops. After that, I will introduce you to the University of Pennsylvania School of Business.
Master of Economics! You will also be appointed Minister of Defense!”
Ryan: "???"
The King of Knights looked confused and was stunned.
Ah? What is this and what?
"Hurry, son of the ancient sage, time is running out!" The voice from the other side came quickly, full of anxiety and seriousness: "Victory or defeat depends on this one move!"
"You are not him at all!" Ryan was freed from confusion at this time, and his eyes immediately became sharp: "You are not that person at all! I know who you are, you are the greatest demon under Slaanesh.
En-kali!”
The voice on the other side of Stonehenge was silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly laughed. Its voice was distorted and full of charm: "You are indeed the son of the ancient saint. There have always been many people who have seen through my disguise, but only you only need a few seconds."
Time has revealed it, it’s strange, I have obviously fused some memory fragments deep in your psychic power, there is no reason!”
"..." Ryan thought to himself, I can't tell you that those memory fragments are too old and lead directly to my previous life. If you can deceive me, then there is something wrong with me.
"You're right, young man with strong will, don't believe it!" An extremely tired and weak voice came from the other side, and the shadow of a high-level mage shouted towards Ryan: "The power of the maelstrom is getting stronger and stronger.
It is getting weaker and weaker. The power of En-Kali can already affect outside the maelstrom, young man! You are the King of Knights, right? Can you bring my last bloodline, Imrik of Caledor?
A word?"
"What?" Ryan's spiritual energy turned into a silver sword, cutting off En-Kali's arm. Purple blood spurted out, colliding with the spiritual energy, and was dried by Ryan's purifying spiritual energy. Slaanesh was destroyed.
Moen-Kali let out a cry of pain or pleasure, and immediately withdrew its arms and magic power, intending to shut down the conversation.
"Don't try to get... things that don't belong to him." The high-level mage shouted towards Ryan: "The Phoenix Throne... is not an... glory, but a... (inaudible)
…Elves have been… (inaudible) from the beginning.”
"Boom!" There was a big explosion, and the ground in the middle of Stonehenge exploded, and Ryan flew out.
"Ryan!"
"Owner!"
Veronica and Orica hurried over and helped Ryan up.
"Master, are you okay?" Olica quickly pressed Ryan's face to her chest, trying to revive him.
"I'm fine." Ryan shook his head. The King of Knights struggled to stand up and looked at Stonehenge: "Damn it, I originally thought that the Ancient Saint would leave something in Stonehenge, but it turned out that this thing was in disrepair and only maintenance was left.
The only function of the great whirlpool."
"Then what should we do now?" Veronica breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Ryan was fine. She stood up and looked at Stonehenge. Due to the explosion, a crater had been made in the ground, and a stone pillar had been cracked and was crumbling.
"What can we do?" Ryan shook his head with a wry smile. The King of Knights stood there, looking at the glittering Stonehenge, and suddenly smiled: "At least, we got a benefit."
"Benefits?" Veronica looked at the ancient Stonehenge with curiosity on her face.
"A way to solve the weather problem." Ryan nodded: "Okay, forget about this, let's go."
"It's time to prepare for a decisive battle with the barbarians."
Four days later, Knight King Ryan Malcador personally led 35,000 soldiers, plus 1,300 Nord Marines who arrived temporarily, a total of about 36,300 people, in the northeast about ten kilometers away from Newland, a
On a small hill called Hastings, they encountered a barbarian army of 26,000 led by Harold, King of Obion.
It has to be said that Harold is indeed a proven barbarian warlord. He chose a hillside in the middle of a swamp for a decisive battle with the Breton army. The swamp can prevent the Bretons from attacking to the greatest extent.
Strong cavalry, and the hillside means having a commanding advantage.
In fact, the heavy rain and mud did bring great trouble to the Brittanian army. The artillery and trebuchets were stuck in the swamp. Lane had to order most of the artillery to stay in Newland, only bringing it with him for convenience.
Moving mortars, in the heavy rain, only the fine muskets made by the dwarves can be used, which means that except for the musket grenadiers of the Old Guard, Lane lacks firearms troops to form an overwhelming long-range advantage over the barbarians.
In this way, the first battle of Obien's great expedition was almost a decisive battle.
On this small hill called Hastings, the battle to decide the fate of King Harold of Obion began in the morning.
