Just when Egil led his army to break through Lyonnasay Castle, reinforcements led by Ryan were fighting an undead army in the wild.
More than 20,000 zombies and skeleton warriors suddenly appeared in the wilds of Mousilon, halfway to aid the Lyonnais Castle. They stopped more than 10,000 reinforcements led by Ryan. Under the control of a necromancer,
Zombies and skeletons fight against Ryan's army of knights.
The attack of the knight army was overwhelming, and all the corpses wherever Veronica's flaming skull passed were turned into ashes. Duke Hubbard led the knights to rush around, and the undead army was quickly killed and defeated.
"Strange, why do these undead want to stop us? They obviously can't defeat us." Sulia said towards Ryan: "We just want to rescue Leon Nasai."
"That's why the undead stopped us." Ryan frowned: "The undead don't want to see Leonese be completely destroyed, because the dead want to rule the living, but the undead don't want us to stop Leonese before it falls.
Defeat the barbarian army, because then it will be difficult for them to interfere in the affairs of Lyonnais."
The earl's eyes explored the depths of the undead army's queue, and sure enough, he saw the vague figure of Mathubad.
"Duke, we can't stop this army." A Black Holy Grail knight said towards Mahhubard.
A few days ago, Mathhubard officially called himself Duke of Mousilon. Richard issued a strong protest against this, but Britannia was in internal chaos some time ago and had no time to pay attention to it.
"It doesn't matter. If you can't stop it, you can't stop it. We just want to delay their arrival at Lyonnais." Mahhubard's strength and state were completely different at this time. He was dressed in black armor and his young and handsome face was hidden.
Inside the helmet, his family crest turned into a golden snake on a black background.
The vampires no longer dared to clash head-on with Ryan. This was really because they were afraid of being beaten, so Mathubad made this plan and summoned a large number of soldiers to delay Ryan from assisting Lyonnais.
Of course Mathubad also knew that Lyonnais was invaded by the northern barbarians. Duke Mousilon tried to send people to contact Egil, hoping to negotiate with him and cooperate to destroy Lyonnais. The barbarians could take away everything they wanted.
Want, land and countless graves, corpses belong to vampires.
Egil cut the envoy Mashubad sent to negotiate into two pieces with an axe.
"The chosen champions of Khorne are indeed powerful, but they are not as terrifying as Lion Malcador!" Mathubad thought of the loss of the large group of blood knights and more than 10,000 elite vampire troops, and his heart trembled: "We must stop them here.
Ryan, consume his time!”
"yes!"
On the other side, Ryan is also giving orders: "We must defeat the undead army within two hours! Otherwise Lyonnais will fall! Speed up the attack!"
"yes!"
…………
King Skarins' decision caused a stir. His courtiers, attendants, and many Chaos Champions all disagreed with Egil. Such a great war should not be decided by a duel between champions.
Likewise, Egil insisted, no one dared go against the chief's wishes.
The challenge for the Chosen Champion of Khorne was sent to the inner citadel in front of Dalheide.
At this time, a quarrel was still breaking out in the inner castle. The knights were arguing over how to deal with Elizabeth and the barbarian bastard son in her belly. Elizabeth had been locked in an iron cage, and the outside of the iron cage was covered with various stickers.
The sacred curse seal of the Lake God, the Lake God's prophet Anara carved a magical seal on Elizabeth's tongue, making her unable to speak or cast spells.
"We should kill her immediately, she is carrying an evil seed in her belly! You all know how filthy this child is, how can we just sit back and do nothing?" Aldreeld, the legitimate son of the Duke, roared at the crowd: "His
The birth will be a disaster!”
"Aldreird, please calm down. Have you forgotten what the oath of chivalry is? Article 4: We will never harm women and children." Another Holy Grail knight said very painfully: "We cannot violate the lady's oath.
oath."
"She is a Chaos Bastard, and she carries a son of darkness in her belly. Chivalry does not apply to her!" Aldreeld pointed at Elizabeth who was locked in an iron cage, and then asked Jules, the Knight Commander of the Holy Grail.
And his father, Duke Dalheide: "Chivalry is not applicable to the barbarians in the north and all alien species! These rules are only suitable for fellow humans!"
"Elizabeth is a noble of Britannia, Aldreeld!" Dalheide covered his forehead, and the Duke himself sighed: "We have to ask Her Majesty Morgiana, His Majesty Richard or Madam whether to execute her, but...
"
An earth-shattering roar came from outside the inner castle.
"Bretonians! Come out and duel!"
Duke Dalheide leaned on his ducal seat in pain. Now that the castle had fallen, the inner castle was in chaos, the knights were demoralized and could no longer compete with the barbarians. He had no choice but to turn his attention to the Holy Grail Knight Commander Jules.
Jules nodded slowly towards Dalheide.
There was silence in the inner court of the inner castle.
Ten minutes later, Egil, who was challenging the battle below the city, finally received a reply as he wished. Duke Dalheide came to the city wall with the support of his attendants: "I agree to your invitation for a championship showdown, but we need a day to prepare!"
"One day? Ha!" Egil laughed, with countless sarcasm and contempt on his face: "You lowly southerner, I will give you two hours at most! Otherwise, my army and I will attack
Inner castle, destroy every Breton!"
Dalhaide's face was ashen. He knew that Egil had seen through his plan. After discussing it with the attendant, Dalhaide tried to negotiate again: "Then three hours!"
"Two hours!" Egil raised his hell axe: "When the two hours are up, I will attack the city!"
"...Okay." Dalhaide knew that he had no negotiating power. The Duke agreed to these terms and then went down from the city wall.
Intense preparations immediately began in the inner castle. There is no doubt that the Holy Grail Knight Captain Jules is the most powerful warrior currently in Lyonnais. The most powerful warrior in Britannia is first of all the Holy Grail Knight.
The Grand Mentor of the regiment, the Green Knight, then several veteran Grand Knights of the Holy Grail, Berhemond, Francois and others, and then Count Lane, the divinely chosen champion of the Fairy of the Lake.
But they are all gone now, and the strongest warrior Lyonnais can send is obviously Jules.
Egil's target was obviously Ules. After a series of battles, he judged that Ules was worth fighting.
In the inner court, the cold wind howled, and in the small Lady of the Lake worship room, Knight Captain Jules of the Holy Grail knelt before the icon of the Lady of the Lake, wearing armor.
His lover, Anara, the prophet of the Lake God, buttoned his clothes, hung the plate armor on his body, helped him put on his gauntlets, and pulled up his gorgeous robe. Jules knelt before the icon of the Lady of the Lake.
Praying in front of him, his eyes were full of cold anger.
"Kalad, come out, I know you are coming." After a long time, after the armor was put on again and then blessed, Jules said towards the corner of the worship room.
Lake God Prophet Anara turned her head, and her younger brother, Kalad, who was in his thirties, came out of the corner hesitantly.
"This is too dangerous, Jules, you should not agree to that barbarian's duel invitation so hastily." Kalad tried to say to Jules who was standing on the steps. The knight of the kingdom and the Count of Garamente
There was only pain and intolerance on his face: "This is all my fault, it's all my fault, it's my fault!"
Tears flowed from the corners of the kingdom knight's eyes. Anala, the prophet of the lake god, sighed softly and turned his head away, with a complicated expression on his face.
Elizabeth was once Kalad's fiancée! She was exiled by Kalad because she poisoned Kalad's father and stepmother.
Elizabeth's reason for doing this was simply because she was worried that Callard's father would not pass the title to Callard but to the younger son born to Callard's stepmother.
Because of this incident, Kalad and Elizabeth broke up, but judging from Kalad's never getting married, Jules knew that Kalad still had feelings for Elizabeth.
And now, Elizabeth is pregnant with the evil seed of the barbarian! Because of this, Jules is forced to have a championship showdown with Egil. Jules is Kalad's mentor and friend, and he admires him.
The person, and technically speaking, was his brother-in-law. Kalad was so uncomfortable that he could hardly speak.
Seeing Kalad's face filled with pain, Jules smiled. The Holy Grail Knight Commander stretched out his hand and patted Kalad's shoulder: "This is not your fault, Kalad, stop thinking so wildly."
"Born in this dark world, everyone is struggling to survive under threats. For thousands of years, under the guidance of the lady, we have continuously defended this country from the hands of chaos, undead, and green skins. At the same time, we
We also have to face internal threats, Chaos followers are wreaking havoc in the mortal world, and there are even dark elf pirates who frequently attack our coastline."
"I feel very sorry about Elizabeth, but this has never been your responsibility. It is everyone's responsibility. You can hate the greenskins and the Chaos believers, but you must not be immersed in self-blame and pain.
Among them, remember, Karad, in this dark age, it is the lady who brings us commandments and faith, so that we can be saved. Without her, there would be no knightly kingdom. When you are confused, when you are confused, keep you
Have faith in the lady and you will be saved."
Kalad wiped away his tears hard and nodded gently towards Jules: "I have learned a lesson."
"Now, I'm going to have a championship duel with that damn barbarian." Jules put on his cross helmet, the golden fire dragon statue shined on the top of the helmet, candles hung on both sides of the statue, and the Holy Grail Knight emblem hung on his
On his chest, Jules then said to Kalad: "Maybe I can defeat Egil, maybe not, but the important thing is that I must seize this opportunity. The championship showdown is the only rule that the barbarians must abide by. Now in the castle
Our military strength is no longer enough to continue fighting against the barbarians."
Anara put Jules' sword Durandal into his hands, and Jules took the sword. He continued to speak to Kalad: "I became a knight errant at the age of fifteen. I was born in Wen.
Ford, I grew up in Bastogne. I killed two chaos giants, killed a giant dragon, and went deep into the grasslands of Carcassonne to kill a troll.'
"The Demon of Carcassonne", I once killed the Necromancer among the thousands of armies, and wiped out the "Ox Blood Beast" that attacked Bastogne. I have spent my whole life fighting to protect the country and chivalry, fighting in the name of a lady.
The battlefield, so when that barbarian challenges me, out of honor, I will not and cannot refuse, you understand? Kalad."
Kalad nodded silently. He seemed to have caught something, but he still didn't understand it.
"Chivalry is not a spirit that guides us to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, nor is it a spirit that teaches us how to obtain the greatest benefits. In this world, there are things more valuable than life, and there are always things worth pursuing.
Sacrifice, the lady gave me the Holy Grail. When I drink the water of the Holy Grail, I will no longer be me. I enjoy the respect and worship of the entire kingdom. I feel honored wherever I go. The people trust me and the knights worship me.
, the Holy Grail makes me strong and long-lived,
Then I have to shoulder my responsibilities." Jules continued: "I only want to enjoy the benefits and not take responsibility. I just want to gain strength and respect from others, and I don't understand the sacrifices and sacrifices I need to bear.
Paying, simply thinking that the weak can eat the strong, I am strong and I am justified, that is the thinking of serfs and tramps, Chaos believers, not knights, and they are destined not to be close to the Holy Grail. Kalad, that's all I have to say, the rest is up to you.
Got it."
After saying that, Jules strode out of the worship room and never looked back.
When the two hours were approaching, Egil finally got his wish and waited for the long trumpet sound of the Bretons.
The gate of the inner castle slowly opened, and the Holy Grail Knight Commander Jules walked out of the castle quickly. The legendary Holy Grail Knight Commander sang the hymn of the Fairy of the Lake loudly, with cold anger burning in his eyes, and walked in front of the barbarians.
Aegir strode forward past his endless bloodthirsty warriors, his weathered and bearded face donning a red horned war helmet, Skarins' kingly stride was very confident, he roared the word of challenge
, his voice echoed with the power of Khorne.
Who has single-handedly massacred an entire race, and who has trampled an entire country under his feet?
Egil was just one step away from achieving his great feat.
The Chosen Champion of Khorne and the Holy Grail Knight Commander of the Lady of the Lake stood face to face. Both acknowledged that the other was a respectable warrior. Egil even took the lead in raising his hand. He raised his hand towards Jules with respect.
He then put down his battle ax and pressed his left chest with his hand, expressing his respect for the Holy Grail Knight Commander who had fought and blocked him from winning several times.
Jules nodded slowly, and the Knight Commander of the Holy Grail also held the sword with both hands, showing respect to Egil.
There is a strange silence. Both sides are favored by their respective gods. They are both unrelenting enemies and sympathetic warriors.
This strange silence quickly disappeared in the air, and with the roar of Aegir and the cold snort of Jules, the long sword blade and the battle ax intersected, shooting out dazzling sparks.
The championship showdown begins! (To be continued)
