When the knights of Britannia retreated in confusion and haste, Holy Grail Knight Aisen led his remaining one hundred knights and more than two thousand infantry to take charge of the rear.
They were soon overwhelmed by the tide of barbarians. Holy Grail Knight Aisen didn't pay attention. He still waved his sword and kept charging at the barbarian army.
Gradually, the number of knights around him became less and less. The Holy Grail Knight Aisen was surrounded by barbarians. He struggled to kill but was outnumbered. The blessing of the Lake God protected him from ordinary harm. However, a group of knights blessed by the evil god
The spear moved insidiously from the side
He was attacked from behind. Eisen struggled to pull the spear out of his body. More Chaos God's Chosen Warriors surrounded him. Several halberds pierced his body. The anger from the Lake God made the Holy Grail Knight wave.
The sword slashed several Chaos God's chosen warriors.
Now, Eisen was breathing heavily, and his consciousness began to become a little blurry. He was confused and hacking in the barbarian army formation alone, but his mind was recalling the memories of when he was a child.
He was born in a noble family in Lyonnais, and he has been a devout believer in women since he was a child. From a young age, he vowed to become a glorious Holy Grail Knight.
He spent his whole life in training and asceticism, and finally gained the lady's recognition during the twenty-year expedition and drank the water of the Holy Grail.
Everything was given to me by the lady, and now I will use everything I have to repay her.
A battle ax struck from the side, and the battle ax cruelly interrupted Eisen's memories. The Holy Grail Knight Eisen, who had been injured in many places, still seemed unstoppable. He condensed all his strength into one force, without hesitation.
Chanting the holy name of the Lady of the Lake: "For the lady!"
The shining blade of the sword shone with brilliance, and he broke through the defense of a warrior chosen by the Chaos God, and the sword pierced deeply into his chest.
At the same time, a battle ax also gave him a fatal blow behind him, and Egil's cruel face appeared in front of him.
Then the consciousness gradually blurred until it was far away.
The last resistance has disappeared, and now only thousands of barbarians are left shouting in victory. They occupied the camp in front of the knight army and frantically scrambled for the military supplies that the knights had left behind.
Supplies, they sang loudly and shouted the name of the God of Darkness. Thousands of heads were piled into a huge altar, and they wanted to perform a sacred sacrificial ceremony.
Many chiefs of small barbarian tribes dare not speak out about Aegir's brutal actions. Their tribesmen suffered heavy casualties in today's battle. After this battle, the number of more than 30,000 barbarian troops has been reduced to just over 20,000.
Although only more than 15,000 Brittanian knights fled back, there is no doubt that the nearly 9,000 heavy cavalry who fled back are the elite of Britannia.
Egil's vision of completely defeating the main force of the knight army in the wild was not fully realized.
But this is not important. What is important is that the blood god Khorne watched this battle and rewarded his chosen champion. Egil found that his body was filled with more blessings and mutations from Khorne, and his
Existence is evolving further.
This is reason enough to celebrate.
Now that the Brittanians have retreated, he is one step away from achieving a unique feat and unparalleled fame, which is to completely capture the Castle of Lyonnais. Egil noticed that Hangest's belly was being blessed by the Blood God repeatedly.
It has become so big that as long as Lyonnais Castle is captured, his son will be born.
He can then lead the army back to Skarins.
…………
The remaining army of knights fled day and night. After spending two days, they finally returned to Lyonnaise Castle. Now, only the high walls of the castle can give the knights a sense of security.
In the castle hall, Duke Leonace's body was covered with bandages. His face was pale and his left arm was hanging on his chest. Lake God Prophet Anara and his court physician had just changed his medicine. The defeated knight army
The Duke's medicine storage was almost completely emptied, and a large number of wounded were waiting for treatment. Fortunately, the knights finally retreated without suffering devastating losses.
"Uh~" Sitting on the Duke's throne, Dalhaide gasped hard. The spikes of Egil's battle ax caused great damage to him, but did not hit the vital point. The Duke could still bear this level of pain.
It’s just that it’s impossible for him to fight on horseback and give orders anymore: “Jules, I’ll leave it to you to defend the city for this period of time.”
"There are two thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the city. Fortunately, we have evacuated enough knights." Jules looked seriously and said to Dalheide: "My Duke, we must request reinforcements immediately!"
"Reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements? Is there any troops in the kingdom that can be mobilized now?" Dalhaide looked at Jules with a hint of hope in his eyes. The Duke was wondering if Jules had other troops that could be mobilized.
"In the south, the dukes in the south still have troops to mobilize. I have already made contact with them. As long as we ask for help, Earl Lane's army will immediately support us!" Jules showed Lane's letter to Dalheide.
"...Ryan?" Hearing Ryan's name, Dalhaide frowned subconsciously. He and Richard were from the same faction, and he really didn't like Ryan very much.
However, thinking that things had reached such a critical stage and that he had been seriously injured, Dalhaide couldn't help but hesitate.
Kalad, who was sitting next to Jules, was secretly worried. He thought to himself, what is Duke Dalhaide still hesitating about?!
If Darheide, who is the Duke of Lyonnaise, does not allow it, then even if Ryan wants to support him, he will not be able to enter the principality's territory. This is called illegal entry and will cause a very serious diplomatic dispute.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it now." Dalhaide finally nodded: "Jules, I'll leave this matter to you. I allow Ryan and his army to temporarily enter my territory."
The knights in the castle looked relieved after hearing this. Ryan's prestige resounded throughout the kingdom, and his army was extremely sophisticated. He also got the support of several dukes in the south. If he led the army to come to rescue, the plight of Lyonnaise Castle would be
Get maximum relief.
After a few people talked for a while, the topic returned to the defense of the castle.
Castle Lyonasse is a castle close to the sea. It covers a large area. The castle is built of very solid rocks and it also pays a lot of money to hire dwarves for guidance. It is strong enough to resist trebuchets and imperial artillery, but the knights have seen Chaos Hell.
The power of the cannon, they knew that this castle was still difficult to resist the attack of the Chaos Hell Cannon.
More importantly, Lyonnais Castle has not experienced war for nearly five hundred years.
"We cannot be trapped in the city. The firepower of the Chaos Hell Cannon will overwhelm us. We must find a way to destroy the Chaos Hell Cannon, otherwise the city will also be lost." A Holy Grail Knight whispered. After the Battle of Nanz, there were already
The two Holy Grail Knights died on the battlefield, and Siruf's battle flag was cut off. It was a time of panic in the city.
"Yes, the Chaos Hell Cannon is a huge threat to the city wall." Jules's blue eyes exuded the anger from the goddess. The anger in his heart was like the fire of the dragon and would never end. Nanz will fight.
The defeat was considered a huge shame by Jules: "We must find a way to destroy the Chaos Hell Cannon."
"Destroy the Chaos Hell Cannon? But how do we destroy it?" Darheide was seriously injured and could not move now. He felt that his mind was muddled, so he could only continue to ask for help from the Holy Grail Knight Commander.
"Annara's magic will protect us, so... I have a plan." Jules said to everyone: "We need to select the twenty most powerful knights in the castle..."
Jules revealed his plan.
"Hmm~"
…………
After a brief celebration, the barbarians spent three days continuing southward. They stopped and camped only ten kilometers away from the Lyonnaise Castle. After that, a grand banquet was held in a ruined village.
The barbarians took out a large amount of captured grain and fine wine stored in the Bretons' cellar, and started eating and drinking wantonly.
Egil sat on the main seat, his pale eyes glowed with blood-red light, and he drank glass after glass of ale. Chaos Champion Kovindev presented him with a roasted leg of beef, and Egil laughed loudly.
, the southerners may indeed have some strength, but they have
After reaching the castle of Lyonnais, the huge and towering castle has been completely exposed to the sight of the barbarians. Tomorrow, his army will attack the Castle of Lyonnais, which the southerners are proud of.
The buildings were completely razed to the ground, completely destroying the place.
Just as the barbarians lit bonfires wantonly, celebrated wildly under the dark night sky, and held a banquet, mist suddenly began to appear in the barbarian camp. All the barbarians did not take it seriously. They continued to drink and have fun, and even competed with each other.
Many barbarian warriors captured enough heads in this war
, they are evolving towards Chaos Warriors. Many Chaos Warriors have been upgraded to Chaos God's Chosen Warriors. Black lumps appear on their bodies. Over time, these black lumps will automatically grow into Chaos Armor, so the barbarians never worry.
Their armor is all given by the God of Chaos.
As a Chosen Champion of Chaos continues to gain the favor of the Evil God and improves, they will all become Champions of Chaos.
At this time, Hangest, a woman with a big belly, held up a golden cup filled with clear wine. She appeared at the banquet swayingly, and then presented the cup of wine to Egil.
: "My warrior, the greatest king of Skarins, please let us drink this cup to the full. I wish you and our children good health and long life."
Egil was in a state of triumph at this time. The chosen champion of Khorne looked down upon the woman Hengst, but the timing of her toast was just right. Egil, who had just won a great victory, had no reason to refuse.
He happily took the wine glass and swallowed it in one gulp: "I wish our children health and longevity! Hahahaha!"
Seeing Egil drink the glass of wine, Hengst's eyes flashed with light. She drank another glass with Egil, and then pretended to be too drunk, chose to retreat, and disappeared into the mist.
Egil didn't take it seriously either. He signaled the barbarians to continue eating and drinking, and he also picked up a leg of cow and ate it wantonly.
The barbarians sang the song of the Blood Berserker, a barbarian berserker named Gnut, who used countless heads over the endless years to offer enough gifts to the Brass Throne of Khorne, and
In the end, he became a demon and became a terrible demon prince.
Becoming a demon prince is the dream of all barbarians. Becoming a demon prince means the true transformation from "mortal" to "god". From then on, they will gain powerful power and true immortality, although no one knows about becoming a demon.
Whether the prince will retain the memory and self-awareness he had as a mortal in the future, but there is no doubt that becoming a demon and becoming a demon prince is the highest reward the God of Darkness gives to his followers. Lowly southerners cannot understand this kind of reward.
Gnut's story continued, but Chaos Wizard Chakoy felt that the fog in the camp was really unusual. He turned his head and said to Egil: "Father, the fog is so thick, it's a bit strange."
Egil held the wine glass and remained motionless.
"Father?!" Chakoy suddenly realized that something was wrong with Egil. He quickly shook Egil's arm: "Father! What's wrong with you?"
"Well~" Egil struggled painfully, and a lot of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth: "Wine... wine is poisonous!"
"Poisonous?!" Chakois thought about it, and his expression changed drastically. It was Hengst, and the glass of wine she presented to Egil was poisonous!
"Come here! Defend the king!" Chakoy suddenly shouted, and he signaled the Scarlet Guards to come up and defend the king in the middle: "The king is poisoned!"
The entire barbarian camp suddenly went into chaos. The Scarlet Guards came in the mist. They killed all the barbarians who stood between them and the king, and then defended the king. Chakoy checked the wine glass that Hangest was toasting, and Chaos
The wizard gritted his teeth: "It's the Spiral Root! This woman, the Spiral Root she added is enough to poison our entire tribe!"
"Father, just wait, I will prepare an antidote for you immediately!" Chakoy rushed towards the big tent without even thinking about it.
Aegir nodded painfully. Khorne's chosen champion was very tenacious, and the blessing from Khorne ensured that he would not be easily defeated by poison.
In the wilderness not far from the barbarian camp, the woman Hangest let out a mocking laugh.
The barbarians, Egil, and Brittanians are just pawns in her hands. This child belongs to her and only her.
The great evil god, Prince of Joy Slaanesh, has made a deal with her. The son of darkness in her belly will be sacrificed to Slaanesh in exchange for eternal youth.
This is the oracle she received. Stupid Egil thought the two people received the same oracle, but in fact they were completely different. This is a common trick used by the gods of chaos. They don't care about the life or death of their believers at all.
, and also enjoying this process.
However, not long after she walked out, she found herself surrounded.
Holy Grail Knight Captain Jules led fifty knights, and under the invisibility magic of Lake God Prophet Anara and the thick fog created, he easily sneaked into the barbarian camp and destroyed two Chaos Hell Cannons.
Things went surprisingly smoothly. Jules didn't know why the barbarians were in chaos and had no decent resistance at all, but he knew that once the barbarians realized what had happened, they would launch a frantic counterattack, so he quickly evacuated.
Hangest's figure fell into the eyes of Jules and fifty knights, and they immediately realized how filthy she was and what kind of monster she was gestating in her belly.
One of the Holy Grail Knights wanted to kill her on the spot.
But when Anara, the prophet of the Lake God, and her brother Count Calad saw Hangest's face clearly, the siblings screamed in disbelief.
