Proof of the Sun King

? Now, thousands of troops are gathering in the castle of Leonasay, united under the coat of arms of the Leonasay family, which is a lion and white shield. This army of 20,000 people is already mobilized by the Duchy of Lyonasay. With all the troops out of the way, Dahlhead knew that the serf levies were of no use in the war against the northern barbarians, so he decisively chose to bring only the most elite 5,000 serf soldiers.

The remaining 7,000 troops were composed entirely of knights, knight squires, rangers, and sergeants. Duke Dalhide looked serious. He looked at the army that was gathering in the castle and said to the knights beside him: "This battle, It will determine whether Lyonnais can survive."

There are some damaged places on the armor and burqa of the Holy Grail Knight Aisen, and he did not say much: "My Duke, no matter what, I will be with you, fight in the name of a lady, and die."

Another general also stood behind Dalheide, the Earl of Rennes and the Duke's lieutenant.

At the same time, Dalhide's eldest son, Aldreld, was also there. The young man learned that his hometown had been invaded, so he rushed back to the castle of Leonasse.

"My Duke, the morale of the army is not high, and the state is a little down. We are rashly attacking, are we unconsidered?" Earl Ren looked at the map with some worry in his expression.

"The barbarians are eager for a decisive battle with us. There is no doubt, what do these northern barbarians know? They only know how to burn, kill and loot, and they don't know much about many other things." Dalhead's tone was somewhat disdainful: "Obviously, the barbarians know nothing about it. The reason for the battle on the Nanz Plain is that it is a small plain full of mountains and woods, where the knights are not conducive to their use, so the barbarians chose that place to challenge us."

"Yes, that should be the reason." The Holy Grail Knight Eisen nodded, he still wanted to ask this question, but Dalheid was obviously already in the know. The Duke's leadership ability is not particularly good among the Dukes, but the size There have been many wars.

He saw at a glance what the barbarians were thinking, which was obviously an open challenge.

"It is true that fighting the barbarians on the Nanz Plains will indeed have a certain impact on the charge of the knights, but this is also a rare opportunity for us." Dahlhead set his sights on the map.

On the map, the former glory and vast territory of the Principality of Leonasay have been fragmented. Three black lines extend from the Claw Sea in the north to the isle of Landry, and then divide into two thick black lines, reaching the The hinterland of the Principality of Lyonnais.

The duke knew that he could not sit still. The barbarians had already turned the entire northern part of the principality into ruins. If he continued to hide in the castle, it would be a matter of time before the barbarians hit the city of Leonasay.

The barbarians are eager to fight the Bretons, and the Bretons are not? If the barbarians are broken into pieces and wreak havoc in the principality, Dalhide is most worried about it, and now the barbarians are posing as if they are going to fight with him, Dalhide can't ask for it.

"Nanzi, Nanz... I actually planned to lead a pure army of knights to directly attack the rear of the barbarian army, and annihilate them in one fell swoop when the opponent's foothold is not stable, but the storm is blowing too hard now, and the Pegasus knights can't fly. , Jules' reinforcements are still on the way." Dahlhide said a little sullenly: "Obviously, this plan can only go bankrupt in the end, we still follow the original plan, after joining forces with Jules, and the barbarians in Nanz a decisive battle."

"Yes!" Dahlhead ordered, and no one else had any more opinions.

"Take that out!" Duke Leonasay saw that the morale of the army was a little sluggish, and Dalhead was already prepared for this. With a big wave of his hand, several family knights raised a banner from the inside of the castle.

This is a long military flag on a white background, as white as snow, with a faint aura on the flag, engraving a picture.

It was the figure of Arthur, the founding knight king. He was standing on the sea of ​​blood and corpses piled up with green skins. His whole body was shrouded in divine light. The golden and red tassels on the banner were fluttering in the sky. This banner was braided with the hair of the elf princess. It is a priceless treasure that has been passed down for thousands of years from the establishment of Brittany to the present.

"That's... a banner given by the lady!" The first knight who knew the goods saw the banner and said incredulously, "This banner must have fought with His Majesty Arthur!"

"I know, this is the first Holy Grail Knight and the battle flag of Sirruf, the first Duke of Lyonnais! Lord Sirruf fought side by side with this flag for more than 200 years, until he died in Sanne. Riverside!"

"My God! My God! We have a chance to fight alongside this flag!"

"My lady! I'm ready!"

Blood surged in the hearts of the knights, and the sluggish morale that had been hit for days was re-inspired by this banner. Many young knights roared loudly, and the stable knights of the kingdom were also filled with enthusiasm.

Dalhead nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go!"

…………

After two days of marching, the army of knights approached the Nanz Plain. The general situation of the kingdom knights led by Euless and the army of the Duke of Leonasay joined together. There were about 28,000 troops in total, of which there were more than 5,000 knights.

Jules and Dahlhead met, they shook hands and greeted each other, and the group came to the big tent to discuss the battle plan.

In the tent of the knights, the candles were lit, and the great nobles of Dahlhide and Leonasay gathered, while Jules and other Holy Grail knights stood on the other side. They surrounded the large table in the tent and looked at it. map.

"Tomorrow, we will fight the barbarians on the Nanz Plain." Dahlhead pointed his finger at the small area of ​​the Nanz Plain: "Our plan is to first use a large group of knights to strengthen the barbarian army. Charge, break up their formation, and then lead some knights to detour through Sir Eisen on the left flank. Lord Jules on the right flank is responsible for the counterattack against the barbarians, and then I lead the central army to advance, defeat the main force of the barbarians in one fell swoop, and take these skas. The chaotic scum of the Linsi tribe drove into the sea to feed the fish!"

"Overwhelmed a large number of knights at the beginning? Directly attacked the barbarian army?" Callard asked: "My duke, will this be too reckless?"

"Oh, Your Excellency Callard, obviously you can see what the terrain of the Nanz Plain is like." Dalheide smiled disdainfully: "Do you think I can't see it? The barbarians want to fight us here, and they fight like this. The knights can't exert their full capabilities. I want to lure my knights to attack their carefully prepared army in batches, and then gradually eliminate them. I won't be so stupid and fall into the trap. Tomorrow, the knight army led by Earl Renne will directly Charge forward, be sure to crush the barbarian army in one fell swoop!"

Callard was silent, perhaps thinking that Dalhead's plan made some sense.

Jules nodded: "In this case, Your Excellency, your knights will attack the barbarian army head-on. I will lead the kingdom's knight army to respond to your actions from the side, and we will give priority to defeating the barbarian central army, because there is a Scarlin. The most elite warriors of the Skalings tribe, as long as they can force the King Aegir of Skalings to retreat, those vassal tribes will no longer obey the command of the Skalings tribe!"

"We need to set aside a reserve team." Eulers also had some opinions on Dalheide's bold plan. He said to the Duke of Lyonnaise: "We can't rush to overwhelm all our troops without a reserve team."

"My son, Aldreld will lead two hundred knights and eight hundred knights, a total of one thousand cavalry as a reserve." Dahlhead nodded.

"No infantry?"

"Infantry is not very useful in this war, Jules, this is not the first time I have experienced the war with the northern barbarians." Dalheid shook his head, he said seriously: "The only ones who can defeat the barbarians are the knights."

"..." Jules pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily.

That's right, the northern barbarians believe in chaos. Compared with the Brittanian infantry, their combat effectiveness is no problem with one enemy five, one enemy ten, and the infantry can easily be defeated by the brave barbarians. Soldiers are routed, and only knights with rigorous military training can unite under the Lady's banner against the fearsome barbarians.

So the decisive battle policy for the next day was finalized like this, and everyone took the time to rest.

Jules and Dalhide walked out of the camp, Dalhide tidied up his plate armor and burqa, and said to Jules: "Your Excellency Jules, please lead the army to support this time, Leona. Sai will always thank you."

"This is the lady's order, this is my duty, you don't have to thank me." Yules shook his head, on the contrary, his face was full of determination: "I'm just worried that the strength of the barbarians may exceed our estimates, The lady gave me a dream that this invasion was stronger than ever."

"...But do we have any other choice? We have to fight to the death." Dahlhead frowned, and he followed Eulers' gaze into the distance.

In the distance, it is pitch black. Tomorrow, the army will fight the barbarians not far ahead, and the barbarians have been waiting for them for a long time.

The night was like a black cloth, blocking all the sunlight, and Eulers and Dalhead looked at the sky and remained silent.

Something white began to fall from the sky, and it fell on the hair of the knights, on the armor of the knights.

It's snow, it's starting to snow!

"Have a good rest, Jules." Dalhead patted Jules on the shoulder, and the duke himself knew that tomorrow would be a tough fight: "I'll go to rest first."

"Yeah." The Knight Commander of the Holy Grail nodded silently. He stood alone in front of the tent, silent.

The snow began to grow slowly, and it seemed unusual to see the snow in April, but the influence of the wind of chaos is like this. When the wind of chaos blows the earth, anything bizarre may happen in the mortal world.

"Karad? Come out, I know you're there." Eulers took off his cross helmet with the golden unicorn statue, revealing his resolute face.

On top of the helmet, several candles are burning.

Wearing a red and blue burqa with a sword hanging from his waist, Calad, the Count of Garamente of Bastogne, came up from behind, his face still a little worried: "Eulers, I'm still a little worried, Dahl. Lord Hyde's plan is detailed, but it's a big gamble to get too many knights in the first place."

"How can you not bet in war? There is never a 100% chance of winning a war." Jules' expression did not change much. Since he became a Holy Grail Knight, his emotions seemed to be hidden. He wears a helmet most of the time, and only people who are close to him like Anara have the opportunity to see him without a helmet: "In the beginning, a large number of knights will be pressed to charge, which will force the barbarians to use all their strength and peace. We are fighting head on, that's what we want, Karad, the kingdom can't afford it, neither can Leonathay! Do you know how much food our army of 28,000 people eats in a day? You know How many refugees and villages are there in the entire Principality of Lyonnais waiting for us to support? Curona’s garrison is empty, and the more time we spend on expeditions, the more variable the situation will be.”

"Indeed." Callard had nothing to say.

Both Eulers and Dalheid knew that after the serf riots and a series of events, and then the Chaos invasion, Brittany needed time to recuperate, so it is not surprising that Dalheid was eager to decide the winner. , Only when the main force of the barbarians is completely defeated in the war can he retain a bit of vitality for his principality and start the long recovery and reconstruction work.

Callard pays great admiration and respect to Eulers, who is also a teacher and a friend, brother and father, and is strictly a brother-in-law. The two have fought side by side many times, and it is because of this. , he dared to ask Jules, otherwise in Britannia, the words of the Holy Grail Knight are the truth, and no questioning and blasphemy are allowed.

"It's a lot of snow." Eulers turned his eyes to the dark night sky: "Go to rest early, Callard, tomorrow, we will ride the battlefield in the name of a lady. There is no luck in this war."

"Yes!" Callard bowed deeply and left.

Eulers stroked his brown beard and stood there, looking at the snow.

"Ma'am, please give us strength and courage, and let us continue to fight. Your loyal believer, Jules, swears here that we will fight in your name until the end, until the end comes."

…………

The next day, the army of knights finally set off to the Nanz Plain~www.wuxiaspot.com~ At this time, there was white snow between heaven and earth, and the army of barbarians had been waiting here for a long time.

The gathered barbarian warriors, beasts, thousands of numbers are densely distributed on one side of the Nanz Plain. They can't see the border like a dark cloud. The sound of sound and drums spread for several kilometers and continued for a long time. The dark chaotic octagonal flag and the eight-pillar emblem battle flag of Khorne symbolize the sailing flag of the Scalins tribe and the battle flags of countless small tribes. The shrines of the evil gods are everywhere. All, skulls adorn the shrines, and they are desecrating the goddess' land.

The knights of Brittany slowly entered the battlefield. The tip of the lance and the blade of the sword gleamed under the white snow. The gorgeous armor and the neat queue were simply a wonderful giant landscape painting.

Jules was proud of the knights of Brittany. Under the guidance of the goddess, no matter how strong the enemy was, the knights would not back down.

"Duoo~" The melodious and majestic horn sounded in the army of knights, and the knights crowded under the banner of Sirruf, the first-generation Duke of Lyonnais, and the horn sounded all the time.

The barbarian army also blew the horn, and then there were countless shouts of scolding and the sound of the axe hitting the shield.

"So, this is the beginning." Jules' eyes contained firmness and will, and the five Holy Grail Knights followed behind him.

"Get ready to fight! Knights, fight for the land of the goddess! For the lady! For Britannia!!!" Dal Hydra held the reins of the warhorse, raised his lance, and the duke shouted, he The voice echoed on the battlefield.

"May the lady grant us victory!"
