Chapter five hundred and forty-one reinforcements build up
It was already early morning when Ryan met the allied forces of Britannia and the Empire led by Dukes of Kalad and Hagen in the camp.
This army only numbered over 3,000 people, and almost everyone was injured. Their supplies had long been exhausted. When they arrived near the Spire Palace, the melted ruins of the entire castle almost made this army despair. They even thought that the South
The chivalry army has also been completely wiped out.
Fortunately, Ryan had arranged for rangers to be on guard outside. After seeing the knight army appearing, Bertrand decided to take the initiative to show up and get in touch. Only then did the remaining Brittanian knights and imperial troops arrive.
Under the cover of moonlight, we crossed the pontoon bridge and arrived at the camp in Chalon Forest.
At this time, there were only more than 800 knights and knight retinues left in the Brittanian army, and about 100 imperial knights, about 2,500 imperial troops, and more than 20 knights were left in the empire.
There are only eight cannons left and only four Hellstorm rocket launchers left. Fortunately, the most powerful Hellstorm rapid-fire cannon is still intact.
In order to attack Mousilon, Lane had stored enough food and military supplies. These troops were obviously starving, and a fire was lit in the camp to cook food for them in the middle of the night.
After this defeated army arrived at the camp, it obviously gave Lane's army a greater impact. Although Lane had tightly blocked the news and claimed that Kalad and others took the initiative to join him, many knights were still able to guess that the knightly army in the north must be
Something happened.
Everyone's psychology was contradictory. On the one hand, the two defeated armies were entangled together, which would inevitably affect each other's morale. Ryan's army had already tasted a defeat in the Spire Palace. With the arrival of this army, the morale of the knights became even lower.
.
On the other hand, Calard raised the head of Mad Duke Merovingian high, indicating that Mad Duke Merovingian had been beheaded. The mad Duke who had brought endless pain to Britannia once again died bravely.
At the hands of the Holy Grail Knights, this seemed to emphasize that there was still hope of victory in this war, and the arrival of the imperial army also gave the knights some hope.
At the dinner table, everyone exchanged information. Kalad and Duke Hagen of Gisoleaux, who were already exhausted from the battle, were so surprised that they were speechless after hearing Ryan's information.
The Tzeentchian army also joined this war?
Duke Hagen suffered some minor injuries, and half of his proud antlered cross helmet was broken. After hearing the current situation of the war, the Duke was so angry that he held a large roast leg of lamb in his hand.
He gnawed on the fat lamb leg dripping with fat and muttered: "Chaos is here too? Damn it! The whole of Musilon has been reduced to a pot of porridge!"
"We also saw the greenskin tribe and the beastman tribe fighting on the road." Imperial General Dietrich nodded. The imperial general's body was covered with blood and mud, and his carefully groomed beard and hair became
It was dirty and messy. Lane noticed that his beard and hair were clumps. Dietrich and Boris von Zhukov felt a little unnatural when they saw Lane's eyes moving to them.
Before coming to Britannia, both of them had met Emmanuel in Noor's court. The newly appointed duchess received them under the protection of many guards, and first gave them gentle words of encouragement.
After a while, he told them that they must be polite if they see Ryan, and remember to visit Sister Sulia if they have the opportunity.
But whether it is Dietrich or Boris, they always feel a little uncomfortable when they look at Ryan. They feel inexplicably unhappy when they think of such a man marrying Duchess Emmanuel. After all, countless imperial nobles want to marry him.
The dreams of Duchess Noor, Elector and Duchess Wesson, even if Dietrich and Boris had a family, they still felt unhappy.
A man.
Fortunately, Ryan didn't pay too much attention to them. He was obviously worried and just said a few polite words to say hello. Dietrich and Boris von Zhukov also followed the pre-planned diplomatic speech.
The greetings from the little maid came: "We bring the greetings of the Countess Emmanuel, wishing good health to His Excellency Earl Lane and Countess Sulia. The beloved Countess has a question to ask the venerable
Mr. Ryan, when do you plan to come to Nuer to see your son?"
The resentment and dissatisfaction contained in this greeting could be felt by everyone in the big tent. After hearing this, Ryan felt a little embarrassed. He quickly replied: "At least we have to wait until the war is over."
"Now we have joined forces, but there are only more than 6,000 people at most, and the morale of the army is not high, and it is very tired." Kalad saw Ryan's embarrassment, and the great knight of the Holy Domain helped Ryan to relieve the siege.
His face was full of fatigue, the fatigue of defeat, and the fatigue of learning that the battle situation was complicated.
, This is rare for a Holy Grail Knight, but if it weren't for Kalad's brave fighting, this army that had been marching in Musilon for more than three days might have disappeared forever in the corrupted land of Musilon.
on the land: "Do we still have reinforcements, Sir Lane?"
"The reinforcements from Francois and Duke Birhemond are already on the way." Ryan frowned and said to everyone present: "They will join us soon. In addition, Duke Bodrick
The Poseidon knights are also on their way."
"No one can stay out of this war. We must protect the holy relics left by the twelve Holy Grail Knights of the first generation. Otherwise, the only thing that awaits this country is destruction."
Hearing that the two dukes were about to arrive, the atmosphere in the big tent became better. If Bohemond and Francois arrived, there would be five powerful saints here (Lane, Kalad, Mo
Jaina, Berhemond, Francois), plus the armies of these three principalities, may still have a chance to show off with the Tzeentch demonic army.
This is not because the knights overestimated the strength of the Tzeentch Demon Army, but because the Chaos Demons are already so strong. Historically, in the face of wars with Chaos Demons, mortals had to do their best and even pay an unparalleled and painful price to barely defeat these demons.
The nightmare of space, but the exiled demons will not die. One day, they will return and bring destruction to mortals.
One day, because mortal perseverance is short-lived, chaos is eternal.
"By the way, I heard that your mercenary group at the Pyrotechnics Academy also has a group of dwarf butchers?" Ryan shook his head. It was meaningless to think about these things now. He asked casually: "Why didn't I see them? Could it be that I didn't see them?"
Did the dwarf voluntarily divorce his offspring?"
"No, those dwarf butchers haven't arrived at Musilon yet." Imperial General Dietrich said helplessly: "Your Excellency, your early dispatch of troops disrupted everyone's plans. We were originally going to arrive at this time.
We just set off from Nuer and won’t arrive until early April.
Le-Angoulant, after learning that you launched an attack at the end of February and captured the Spire Palace in just one day, Regent Laune urgently ordered us to come to Mousilon immediately, so we had to set off quickly and take the dwarf steam from Nour.
The ship departs, passes Marienburg and arrives at Le Angoulan.”
"At this time, the group of dwarf butchers are still in the Black Mountains assisting the dwarves of Karak-Desolation Castle in clearing out the greenskins in the mountains." The imperial general said helplessly: "If everything goes well, these dwarf butchers should have just boarded the ship to head to Le
-Angoulan's ship, the dwarves value their oaths most..."
"That's right! That's how we dwarves are. Every debt must be paid! Every revenge must be avenged!" Belegar, the king of the Eight Peaks Mountain, sat on a raised bench, his body hidden behind the big table. He shouted loudly: "This is it.
dwarf!"
Ryan watched for a long time and couldn't determine whether Belegar was standing up or sitting down, so he couldn't tell how excited the dwarf king was.
"We are going all out to deal with Chaos, but what about Mathubad and his army of the undead?" Kalad became concerned about this issue, with pain in his voice: "Leonasse is no longer able to resist the invasion of the undead. As long as
Mahhubard thought he could even go straight to Kurona."
"Yes, but there are enough defenders in Kurona to cope with it." Holy Grail Knight Fedmund shook his head violently, and he immediately emphasized: "It shouldn't be a problem to hold on for at least a month or two."
"The Holy Grail Knights of the Kurona branch and the Lake God Prophets will fight hard to defend the capital." Morgiana, the Lake God Witch, also said seriously: "The capital is not that easy to break."
"Things have to come first. At present, our most powerful enemy is the Chaos Demon Army." Ryan set a tone for this matter: "Of course, I want to emphasize that giving priority to dealing with the Chaos Demon Army does not mean that we
Let the undead go! Wait until the Chaos Demon Army is crushed and retrieve it
Holy relic, we will naturally defeat Mahhubard's army! Moreover, what I am most afraid of is that Mahhubard defends Mousilon, then we must be prepared for a long-term siege, and if this guy dares to go out of the city and fight with us in the field
, the undead army under him is naturally not worth mentioning!"
After listening to Ryan's words, everyone nodded repeatedly. The undead are enemies, and they will only be enemies.
In fact, a strange concept has been circulating in Britannia over the years. This concept was spread among the serfs and also among the knights, and it also had a considerable market.
That is that knights, as guardians of humans and defenders of the kingdom, seem to be worse at ruling than the undead. There are many rumors that even the undead will not be so harsh on serfs. In comparison, vampires
Serfs were never required to pay tithes, but were only required to pay "bone tax" and "blood tax" regularly. In comparison, they seemed to be more enlightened.
But in fact, the Holy Grail Knights headed by Ryan know very well that life and death are like the two sides of a coin and can never be unified.
As for why these midnight nobles are so kind to some of the serfs they enslave?
For example, a farmer built a pig pen and raised a group of piglets. Would the farmer deliberately torture these pigs until they were tortured half to death?
No, farmers will raise these pigs until they are white and fat, and then wait until the right time to slaughter them for meat.
As for why vampires sometimes fight to protect humans, the reason is very simple. Just like someone wants to get or destroy the pigs in the pigsty. As the owner of the pigs, farmers will naturally take up arms to defend their property.
This is the relationship between vampires and escaped slaves who feel as if they can still live.
"I don't really care what the prey thinks of me. Do you think Meatloaf would have any problem with you? Do you remember how much bread you've eaten?"
Constantine von Carstein
There is nothing wrong with vampires advocating honor and blood, but this has nothing to do with humans. Even the most honorable Blood Dragon family has never been the guardians of humans or noble knights. What they bring to the mortal world is still death and fear.
, indulgence and hunting.
Except for the most extreme and special circumstances where the living and the dead temporarily fight side by side, most of the time, humans and vampires are enemies.
The knights and nobles of Britannia do have a lot of problems, but no matter what, they always fight to protect mankind and the world under the guidance of the Lake Fairy. Vampires may have some commendable outstanding qualities, but most of the midnight nobles
The ultimate goal is still to turn the mortal world into a kingdom of the dead.
It's like a batch of good cans and bad cans. How to distinguish between Britannia and the good cans? Vampires are bad cans after all. A blood knight can use all the resources of an entire human village for his newly devised sword skills.
The residents came to test their sword skills, something that even the most immoral Brittanian knights would not be able to do.
"Okay, everyone has worked hard along the way. Please take a good rest these days." Ryan narrowed his eyes: "When the reinforcements arrive, we will immediately send troops to cross the Graysmoray River and follow the lower reaches to Landuin's Tomb!
"
"Yes!" It was already early in the morning, and everyone retreated one by one and set up camp to sleep.
…………I am the dividing line between good cans and bad cans……
A few days later, reinforcements led by the three Dukes, Berhemond, François, and Boderic, arrived in the Chalon Forest.
The arrival of the reinforcements, numbering more than 15,000 people, greatly boosted morale. Soldiers and knights left their tents to welcome the arrival of the reinforcements.
Under the coat of arms of the Knights with a mermaid pattern holding a Poseidon trident, a thousand Poseidon knights, led by Duke Bodrick, marched into the camp. The Poseidon knights will fight to defend the land given by the goddess and the ocean given by Poseidon. The son of Poseidon
Never give in to darkness!
The red fire dragon flag fluttered in the wind, and Duke Bohemond, who led the Red Dragon Knights Brotherhood, appeared. Most of these knights of the Red Dragon Knights Brotherhood were Holy Grail Knights! When Britannia was in danger,
The knights of Bastogne feel that they have no shirking responsibility, because they are glorious and proud Bastogne people! The knights who came out of the land of Dragons in Britannia are never afraid of strong enemies!
The pure white horse and the pure unicorn flag tell the arrival of François and the Brotherhood of Champion Knights of Quinaris, the best elite knights in Britannia who once competed in the first La Maison.
The Battle of Er Monastery, the Battle of Blackstone Stronghold and
They gained a great reputation during the Second Battle of La-Messnel Monastery. Their reputation has already resounded throughout the old world. When Chaos strikes, the knights of the Principality of Winford will shout "Purity", one of the twelve original Holy Grail Knights.
Fight in the name of "Redmond"!
This is also the last new force in the Kingdom of Knights.
