Under the Root

"Mordred's retreat was my previous will. My judgment is that saints are more valuable than those useless soldiers and supplies." The pure white knight looked around and said every word.

"Master Arturia. Even you..." the generals said in unison.

But Arturia didn't pay attention, she just looked down at Mordred. "My son, how many saints did you bring back?"

"5000, including the number of saints collected from the west and north of the empire, there are a total of about 5000." Mordred replied.

"Very good." Arturia nodded in satisfaction. "Including the 4000 people from the south of the revolutionary army, the total is 9000, which is not far from my limit of [-]."

"Then the next step can be implemented."

"The next plan? General Arturia, we just lost the entire western part of the empire. At this moment, we should beware of the imperial army's counterattack." At this moment, the generals were in an uproar again.

"Counterattack? What are you talking about?" Mordred knelt on the ground and laughed.Since her father approved of her approach, there is nothing to fear from her. "Don't you think that playing political games with your father is her full strength?"

"What!?" The generals were even more surprised now.

"Father. I speak in the name of Mordred, the knight of the round table. This is the time for you to show the majesty of the supreme king!"

"Gu Zhunzuo." The Lion King raised his holy spear slightly, and the next moment a pillar of light shot up from the lobby.

"Brant, do you still blame me for pulling you out of the night raid?"

Standing on a flat grassland, Gawain asked Bratt beside him.

"No, why do you ask this question? General Gawain." Brant asked puzzled.

"Because you have been frowning recently. I thought you were reluctant to part with your former companion." Gawain said with a smile.

"Well, although I feel very sorry for my former companion, didn't you say that I was only on secondment, and I will return to my companion as soon as the time comes." Brandt smiled.Said indifferently.

"Oh, then why do you put on such a look?" Gawain pointed to Brant's brow, where a deep Sichuan character was engraved.

"Because this is simply ridiculous. With just 1000 troops, the Revolutionary Army Headquarters wants us to take down Sishuiguan, an important military town that leads directly to the imperial capital. How is this possible!" Brandt pointed to the solemn figure behind him. True knights, although they seem to be very strong, but the number is too small.You must know that the guards guarding Sishui Pass are half of the imperial guards of Bud, the strongest in the empire, combined with the original defenders and a strong city.

This Sishui pass is strong enough to withstand a million soldiers.

"There is nothing impossible in this world." Gao Wen didn't care about it. "In fact, if I want, this city can be captured by me at any time."

"Oh, then why didn't you do it?" Brant asked in disbelief.

"Because this is not allowed. We have to do all this without the lord's knowledge. And attacking Sishui Pass is too big a move." Gao Wen replied. "However, thanks to the sacrifice of the leader in the West, he bought enough time for us. From now on, we only need to cook the raw rice."

"What do you mean? I can understand every word, but I don't even know it." Brant twitched the corner of his mouth.

"What I mean is. Protect your own life, Brant. The future of mankind belongs to you and the saints." Gawain looked at the beam of light suddenly rising in the distance, drew his sword, and turned around.

Then, a blazing light like the sun poured out from the top holy sword of human beings.

"Its name is—Excalibur Gallatin!"

----

In 999 Imperial Calendar, on the third day after the fall of Julu, General Gao Wen of the Revolutionary Army led a thousand knights to break through the Sishui Pass, the southern barrier of the Empire.

This is the battle, where the thousand-year-old essence of the empire is located, and half of the guards are wiped out. So far, there is no danger between the imperial capital and the revolutionary army, and the empire is at stake.

ps: Well, I feel that I have written the feeling

Chapter 59 Reservation of the court

"Your Majesty, Sishui Pass has been lost." In the imperial capital, in the majestic and sacred palace.Bude knelt on one knee in front of the emperor with a respectful expression.

"Oh, I see." The little emperor picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite. "It seems very troublesome."

"Yes. It's very troublesome. The enemy has an unknown strongman. And... stronger than me." Bud said calmly.As if it wasn't me who admitted my insufficiency.He is a warrior, but he is also a general.He knew the limits of what a man as powerful as himself could do.

In a guerrilla way, he might be able to wipe out half of the Guards.But if he was head-to-head, he himself would be exhausted to death by the guards.

It has nothing to do with ability, it's just the limit of the human body.

But what kind of existence would such a person be if he completely destroyed half of the guard army with just one offensive.Bude didn't know, but he knew that he must be strong, very strong, terrifyingly strong, terrifyingly strong.

So, he reported his deficiencies to the emperor.The empire cannot be destroyed because of incorrect judgment.Suppress the samurai's urge to fight an unknown strongman.For the sake of the empire, Bud thought purely and calmly.

"Well. That's really too bad." And this really caught the emperor's attention.He groaned in surprise, then stood up from the chair with a whoosh. "Does the general have any countermeasures?"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. I have already recalled the Esdes army in the west of the empire. With the addition of half of the guards, the defense of the imperial capital is still within the allowable range. However."

"but?"

"However, because the Sishui Pass has been broken, the generals are a little ready to move." Bude reported another bad news.See how vulnerable the imperial army is.People in various powers who have been photographed in the past by the prestige of the empire's supreme force can't help but want to get a share of this feast.

"What is that! No, Bude, come and find Li Lin with me right away. You can't let the empire's thousand-year foundation be destroyed by lonely hands." The emperor jumped up in surprise, he was not ignorant Young man, as an emperor, he certainly knows the weight of the word "about to move" in Bud's mouth.

That must have been one step away from mutiny.

but.

"Your Majesty!" Bud shouted at the emperor. It was a fierce attitude he had never had before. Even when the ministers were wreaking havoc on the empire, he had never yelled at the emperor so disrespectfully.

"Hey, what's the matter, General?" The startled little emperor subconsciously took two steps back, and then straightened up under Bud's gratifying eyes.

"Your Majesty. After all, Li Lin is only a foreign minister. The emperor's personal visit will not be of great influence," Bude said. "I'm going to ask Mr. Li Lin for his opinion."
