Chapter 160 The end of the summer and the end of the chivalry war
PS. It’s a big chapter of 4500 words. I hope you all enjoy reading it.
The beastman army began to gradually fall into madness. Chaos was first caused among them, and all the beastmen lost control. They first slaughtered the captured humans and horses, and then collectively launched a final attack on the human camp.
.
After the destruction of the Ten Thousand Demon Rocks, the oaths of allegiance of all the beastman leaders of the warbands to the Beast King have become invalid with the destruction of the Ten Thousand Demon Rocks. They now only have a common enemy for the time being, so they can still maintain restraint.
After losing the Magic Rock, the beastmen will lose their totem and core of faith. In a short period of time, they will lose a large source of income from divine grace. They will lose the gift of the God of Chaos, and they will also lose the ability to mutate and evolve.
In a short period of time, the Beastman tribe will no longer be able to produce advanced creatures such as the Doom Bull, the Great Horned War Pack and the Cyclops. Even maintaining the existing army is a heavy burden.
To put it in layman's terms, the Beastmen's base has been upgraded from three technologies to one technology.
The Demon Rock was destroyed, and the Beastmen still had to bear the wrath of the God of Chaos.
They need a blood sacrifice, a blood sacrifice with an army of thousands of knights.
After the blood sacrifice, the God of Darkness was still not satisfied, and the beastmen began to kill each other. Countless unyielding beastmen leaders attacked each other, just to satisfy the God of Darkness's endless thirst for blood.
Warbands of beastmen who believe in different evil gods are fighting each other.
Warbands of beastmen who believe in the same evil god are fighting each other.
The chaotic beastman army began a crazy feast, and even the beast king was challenged by many doomsday bulls.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
"Maras...has lost...the Ten Thousand Demonic Rocks. He is not qualified...to be the king!"
"Kill it! Kill it!"
In the endless chaos, the beastman army collapsed on itself.
They will remain in this state until the new Demonic Rock is re-established, until a new Beast King is elected, or until the current Beast King suppresses all the Beastmen tribes again with bloody conquests.
This is destined to be a long process, and the reconstruction of the Ten Thousand Demonic Rocks is an even longer process. Two hundred years of accumulation cannot be accomplished overnight, not even such a huge blood sacrifice by the Beastmen.
…………
After destroying the Demonic Rock, Ryan and the others could predict that the beastmen would enter into internal fighting. The coalition forces took advantage of this opportunity to retreat calmly.
After only one day of walking, the woodland lord Delina led her army to say goodbye: "It was a wonderful battle, Holy Grail Knight, but it's time for us to retreat."
In just two days, the alliance between the resolute Brittanian knights and the brave and combative Wood Elves proved to be a wise choice, although most knights were still reluctant to hand over their backs to these notorious people.
They are obviously aliens, but after fighting side by side this time, their impression of the wood elves has also changed.
"We are very honored to receive your support. This is our luck. Perhaps you can go to Kurona with us to recover. His Majesty the King will definitely reward you, and humans will understand your role in the war." Ryan
Made a reservation.
"Destroying the Demonic Rock is our best reward. We don't want too many people to know our existence." The woodland lord declined Ryan's offer to stay: "You have received our support, and some of my tribesmen have also sacrificed their lives.
The price is enough, does Mr. Lane still think it is not enough?"
"...I am very grateful for your help to me. I will always remember your kindness in my heart. We still have a chance to meet again, right? In my territory." Ryan knew that the wood elves had decided to go, so he stopped.
To retain.
"Exactly, I hope Lord Lane can remember the agreement between us. The wood elves will come to your territory in the near future. By then, I hope Lord Lane can discuss with us the establishment of an observation station and a trading station." Delina
After saying these words, he turned and left.
The wood elves' army disappeared into the forest, leaving behind the fully loaded human army.
There are more than 4,600 people left in this army.
In other words, this is the last number of people left in the chivalry army.
Of the approximately 40,000 troops at the beginning of the war, only the right army led by Ryan survived. Among them, the other two armies of the Knights, which numbered more than 34,000, were buried forever in this forest.
This is equivalent to one-eighth of the entire force of Britannia.
But they still won the victory, and the Magic Rock was destroyed. Ryan's victory made the Beastmen's victory over the Chivalry army meaningless. In the next few years, the Beastmen will never form a decent beast wave again.
Thinking of this, Ryan felt better. After a long battle, the Primarch was finally able to relax a little.
Unknowingly, the time has come to early September. They will go north through the Arden Forest, go to Curona, the capital of the Knight Kingdom, to resume their duties, and then return to their respective territories... In fact, it cannot be said that they are separate, the coalition of ten principalities is.
The armies of the two principalities are left.
The serf soldiers were already discussing what rewards they would receive, and many young knights errant were also discussing whether they could be promoted. The entire army received a large number of captures. There was a large amount of gold and silver in the beastman's collection. In fact
Almost every race in the entire world loves gold and silver.
Only Ryan's face was not elated. On the contrary, the Holy Grail Knight's face was more of a smile.
He has conquered an entire army through his performance.
As they gradually leave the forest, the distance between the trees becomes larger and the bushes become sparse. The knights can finally ride on their beloved horses and enjoy the feeling of walking among the woodlands.
Ryan did not choose to ride a horse. He just led his pure-blood elf war horse Putao into the forest. The head of the four-armed bull Moset hung on the horse's hind legs, which was Ryan's trophy.
He will offer this head to the lady as proof of his victory.
The cool forest breeze blew across Ryan's face, and the Holy Grail Knight raised his head. He found that unknowingly, the leaves of the forest trees turned from lush green to yellow, some turned red, and began to fall. The grass also gradually changed from lush green to green.
Withered and yellowed.
Summer has gone and autumn has arrived.
"We are the only ones left, my soldiers!" Ryan sighed towards the knights nearby.
Fallen leaves cover the ground, everything is lonely, the forest begins to gradually lose its vitality, the grass and trees wither, the fallen leaves return to their roots, and the good scenery is no longer there.
The dead are like this. Although a great war of chivalry has achieved its goal, Britannia has also paid a heavy price. More than two thousand knights and more than thirty thousand troops are buried in the bone forest. I heard my coach say this.
, even the knight errant many years ago sighed lightly.
They have experienced the cruelty of war, and today's victory is based on the sacrifices of countless people.
"Your Excellency Ryan, please don't be so sad. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even be able to win." Marquis Gabriel also led his horse and came up from behind: "In any case, the Chivalry War has achieved its goal.
, I believe those soldiers who died in battle can also rest in peace."
"..." Ryan and the others had learned from the scouts that the Chivalry Army had been wiped out. Facts have proved that Ryan's judgment was correct. The Chivalry Army only lasted for one day, not to mention three days.
If Ryan had chosen to return reinforcements at that time, one can imagine the outcome. The right army would have been in a dilemma when they heard the news that the Chivalry Army had been destroyed.
Ryan's choice proved to be the right one.
"I hope so." Ryan nodded, knowing that his choice was right.
At least the result of this war was a tragic victory.
At least the Ten Thousand Demonic Rocks were destroyed.
Otherwise, at this time next year, half of the kingdom's army may be deployed near the Arden Forest, preparing to face the terrifying beast tide.
…………
Just as the remaining armies gradually withdrew from the Arden Forest, the entire Kingdom of Knights also learned of the fate of the knightly army.
The left army and the center army suffered a disastrous defeat and were completely annihilated. Instead, the right army, led by the newly enthroned Baron Jean, led by the God-chosen champion of the Fairy of the Lake, the Holy Grail Knight, and the recently enthroned Baron Jean, completed the assigned mission and won the victory.
Brought it back.
There were 40,000 people who went on the expedition and more than 4,000 people came back. The outcome of the war left many nobles not knowing what to say.
The person who reacted most violently to this matter was none other than the current King of Knights, "Tiger" Dinoat-Jean-Richard de-Le-Angoulant.
After hearing the news, the old Knight King covered his chest with grief and murmured to himself inside the empty palace: "Anxi? Angxi! You return my army, you return my knights, you
Give back my army of chivalry!!!"
This chivalry war was planned and ordered by the king. Now that the armies of eight principalities have been wiped out, how is he going to explain to the dukes?
The royal power of Britannia was originally weak. The dukes enjoyed many powers such as customs duties and autonomy. The king was originally a leader-like existence. Since he ascended the throne, Richard did not know how much energy he spent on strengthening the royal power.
The king was still thinking about what to do, but the Duke had already arrived at the palace in Curona.
The first to arrive were the Duke of Dalheide from the Duchy of Lyonnaise, and the Duke of Connet from the Duchy of Connet, "The Righteous" Louis Cornwall de Connet.
It is said that other Dukes are also on their way here.
Duke Dalheide looks to be in his forties, but in fact he is already in his seventies, which is in the prime of life for a legendary powerhouse.
Louis the Righteous, Duke of Connet, was quite different.
The Duke is nearly a hundred years old this year.
But he looks like a man in his thirties, exuding astonishing power in every move he makes. His energy and blood are so strong that he can't help but overflow outwards. He has bright eyes, a beautiful mustache, and a handsome appearance.
His noble face and every move highlight his temperament as a descendant of Arthur.
This is a great knight of the Holy Domain and a Knight of the Holy Grail.
The vitality and vitality exuding from him formed a sharp contrast with the aging and silence of Richard.
Duke "Integrity" Louis of Connet came up and asked a question: "My lord, I would like to ask, where are the troops of Connet, the chivalry army that I personally handed over to you? Why are there only
Did the armies of Berhemond and François survive?”
"Where did the Marquis of Glaswegian Desmond, whom you appointed, go with the army of our principality? Why could their army of more than 30,000 people be wiped out by the beastmen, and that little guy named Ryan could actually lead the army?
By the time the 6,000-strong Right Army Army completed its mission?"
"I need an explanation, my lord!"
Duke Dalhead also asked: "My Majesty, when you appointed the commander-in-chief of the chivalry army, I reminded you that Angie Desmond is an excellent young man, but he lacks experience. You should let him first."
Go fight against the dens of thieves and water ghosts, rather than just come up and command the entire chivalry army."
"Now everything is messed up. Oh my God, there are more than 30,000 troops and more than 2,000 knights. How much pension do we need to pay for this?"
"This is not the most critical thing. The most critical thing is, how can we trust you again? How can we trust you again with our military?"
The questioning of the two dukes put great pressure on the king. Richard snorted coldly at first. Faced with Louis' questioning, he was unable to fight back for the time being, so he turned to focus on Duke Dalhead: "Dalhead, you are criticizing
Come on, if the Earl of Adelaide you appointed hadn't ambushed the entire army first and then failed to defend Yulson Castle, Angsi would have had to rush back for reinforcements? Would this have resulted in this kind of consequence? "
Dalheide's voice paused, and then Duke Lyonnaise emphasized: "Then the Marquis of Anchi has not completed his mission. He should have arrived at Yulson Castle earlier, but he was delayed too much on the way.
As a result, the Juulson Castle could not be defended due to time. I think that Adelaide should bear the secondary responsibility for the annihilation of the left army and the center army, while Angsi should bear the main responsibility!"
Richard knew that Duke Dalhead was planning to shirk responsibility.
But he doesn't want to shoulder this responsibility.
The lives of more than 30,000 people were too heavy. The king must not be responsible for this, otherwise the throne might be shaken waiting for him. So the king shouted angrily: "Enough, it is too early to draw a conclusion on this matter. This
We still don’t know many of the details, and I think we still need to send people to investigate many places, so I don’t think we should give the remaining right army the glory of triumph.”
"But that boy named Ryan brought victory. He led the remaining right army to destroy the Ten Thousand Demon Rocks!" Sure enough, Duke Louis of Connet retorted directly: "If it weren't for him, maybe we would have to face each other next year.
Against tens of thousands of beastmen and beasts."
"Out of chivalry, he should go to aid the friendly forces!" Duke Dalheide said tit for tat: "What does it mean to destroy the Ten Thousand Demonic Rocks if you go ahead alone, greedy for credit and ignore the friendly forces? I can't think of such a selfish act.
Man, why did the lady let him become a Knight of the Holy Grail? I think he should be taken into custody immediately, I suspect that he played a disgraceful role in this chivalry war!"
"Ha! You have no right to detain a Holy Grail Knight, Darheide. If you want to detain a Holy Grail Knight, you need at least six Holy Grail Knights to sign and sign together to report it to the Grand Master of the Holy Grail Knights. At least three Grand Knight Commanders must jointly approve it.
He can only be arrested after he has been arrested, not to mention that he is the divinely chosen champion of the ladies. Do you want to alarm Her Highness Morgiana or even the lady?" Louis, Duke of Connet, laughed loudly at Dalheide's stupid plan: "Your brain has been destroyed.
Filled with herring paste? Or do you question the credibility of the Holy Grail Trial? Just because you failed the Holy Grail Trial?"
"Louis, you have a weak soul!" Failing to pass the Holy Grail test was the pain in Darheide's heart. Now that Louis had opened the scar, Duke Lyonnais was furious, but he could not refute.
In Britannia, no one can question the Lady of the Lake and the Holy Grail system.
"That's enough. This is not a meeting of knights. I won't allow you to make such noise in my throne room!" King Richard ordered the noisy two red-necked dukes to stop.
Only then did Dalheide and Louis give up.
"In this way, after paying such heavy casualties, we will not hold a triumphal ceremony for the right army. As for the treatment of Jean Baron Ryan Macado, whether it is a reward or a punishment... we will wait until this time to participate in the Cavaliers
All the dukes from the Dao War are here, let’s discuss the details separately!” (To be continued)
