Grand Duke Falstad laughed boldly, looking quite confident in himself. He looked around, but he didn't see Arthur.

"By the way, what about King Arthur?"

"About this..." Before Artoria finished speaking, a man wearing a cloak quickly walked up from the side and handed over a piece of paper.

That was the messenger from SI[-]. Because he was a succubus, he wore a cloak to conceal his identity.

Artoria finished reading the information sent, and then looked at Grand Duke Falstad in front of her:

"I will explain the details on the way, but there may not be any extra time for the dwarf warriors to rest... Arthur, he has already met the main force of the Anglo-Saxons ahead."

"Wait, is it so fast? It's ahead of schedule." Merlin beside Arturia frowned.

"Not only that, but the number of people also slightly exceeded our expectations..." Arturia raised her head worriedly and looked towards the north.

--------------

"One hundred thousand?!" Arthur was riding fast through the woods on a strong army horse. Behind him were the knights of the round table and the royal garrison who "defeated" as soon as they came into contact with the enemy. Guards.

However, Arthur, who encountered the enemy earlier than planned, soon received an urgent military situation from MI[-].

"That's right, at least [-] enemy troops! They are gathering here. Except for a road in the south, all the other three sides are enemy troops!" Gavin said quickly, although even he felt a little unbelievable , but MI[-]'s intelligence has always been quite accurate.

"Damn it! How is it possible? How did the Anglo-Saxons maintain the Northern Front and mobilize [-] troops? This is a big joke..." Arthur gritted his teeth, the number of enemy troops far exceeded that of Arthur. Se's prediction: "What about the time? When did they gather here?"

"One hundred thousand troops will gather here in three days, but half of them, that is, 5 people, will gather here tomorrow. Those Anglo-Saxon kings seem to be determined to eat us. Interesting." Triss smiled, and she also rode behind Arthur.

"What should I do? Do you want to cancel the plan?" Lancelot looked at Arthur. Even Lancelot understood the concept of 10 people. At least the British Empire should not have so many troops to fight. of.

"No, those enemies are obviously not aware of our plan with such a large-scale assembly. This is a great opportunity. If we can hold it, when the British army and Ireland gathered by Artoria, If the free army of dwarves, elves and Celtics arrives, they will really be able to annihilate the main force of the Anglo-Saxons in one fell swoop. With so many troops, their king must be among them! This is a good opportunity not to be missed!" Seul thought for a while, and quickly said: "According to the original plan, as long as the 5 people are eaten before the enemy is fully assembled, let MI[-] inform Artoria of the specific time, and hurry up Within three days, we will arrive at Barton Hill Castle, victory will be ours!"

"I see." Gavin responded, and then steered the horse, slowing down.

"The whole army continues to move forward, don't make any contact with the enemy's army, and move towards the direction of Barton Hill Castle!" Arthur shouted loudly at the knights behind him.

After thinking about it, Arthur decided to take a gamble. Although the number of enemies was a bit beyond his imagination, he was conceiving a large group battle with 10 people from the beginning, but he didn't expect that Anglo There are already 10 people on the side of the Saxons. If it weren't for the fact that the rest of the general army could only arrive in three days, Arthur would probably give up the battle plan. After all, an army of 3000 people wants to resist 10 people Attacking is simply a fantasy. If people fight with each other, it is estimated that they can capture the castle on the night of the first day.

But 5 people... is a bit too much.

no.650 "The Ball" at Barton Hill Castle

The staggered branches of the trees spread out profusely, green as if trembling leaves were woven into an incomplete sky, and in the gloom, they fluttered like the shadows of tree branches and demons.

The abandoned castle is like a crooked monster crawling on a raised hill, backed by the old castle of Mount Barton, and built in a col along the steep mountain range, surrounded by mountain walls on three sides of the entire castle. Blocking, only one side can pass.

Just like ordinary castles, the outside of the castle is surrounded by villages, but like the abandoned Barton Hill Castle, the villages that belonged to the original noble lords have also been abandoned.

However, when Arthur and others led the army to this abandoned castle at night, they saw these intact houses, which were not damaged except for being a little old, and the complete castle. The city walls and defensive tools are also readily available, and the buildings such as arrow towers, battlements, trenches, and gates are not damaged in any way.

Arthur, who was worried about how to guard the city gate in case it was damaged, was finally relieved after seeing the situation of the castle.

Although there had been intelligence from SI[-] before that everything was quite complete except that it was deserted and no one was there. After all, it had been deserted for so many years, and Arthur was quite worried before.

A 3000-strong army arrived at the abandoned Anton Hill Castle at dusk. These well-trained soldiers quickly took over the defense of the entire castle and began to count tools. The stones and wood that could be found began to be continuously The transport to the top of the city, but these trivial things are carried out by the generals leading the soldiers.

After Arthur walked up to the top of the city to boost his morale, he led a group of Knights of the Round Table towards the inner hall of the castle.

"According to MI[-]'s estimates, the enemy troops will probably chase here tomorrow. If there is no accident, they will surround Barton Hill Castle, and the pre-arrival force will probably reach [-]."

Gavin was wearing armor, holding the hilt of the sword with one hand, and said so while walking.

Busy soldiers, leading horses and transporting various supplies, were busy in the front yard of the castle.

While listening to all kinds of information, Arthur walked towards the gate of the castle while wearing neat armor.

"Then it looks like I can at least take a little rest tonight." Arthur said to himself.

Arthur still trusted MI[-]'s intelligence.

Arthur walked all the way to the gate of the castle and paused for a moment.

"That...do you find it strange?"

Arthur looked at the gate of the castle in front of him speechlessly.

"Ah? What's going on? There's nothing strange about it." Lancelot looked at the castle gate in front of him, and then at Arthur in front of him.

"No... maybe it's an illusion, it's just a feeling..." Arthur shook his head. Although looking at the door in front of him, he always felt a little strange, but he couldn't tell after thinking about it carefully.

In addition, now is the time of war, and he may have to face a strong enemy later. Arthur didn't take these trivial matters to heart.

Arthur pushed open the gate of the castle in front of him, the old gate creaked, and the afterglow of dusk shone through the open gate.

Triss originally planned to walk in with her legs, but just after taking a step, she realized that Arthur in front of her didn't take a step.

"What's the matter? Honey?" Triss patted Arthur on the shoulder, but Arthur in front of him didn't respond to Triss, but looked at the hall in front of him with dull eyes.

The girls of the Knights of the Round Table looked into Arthur's eyes, but before everyone's eyes, there was a dark castle hall. If there was anything strange, it would be...it was too clean .

"Is there still someone here to clean it every day? It was the housekeeper of Earl Barton?" Bedivere asked strangely.

"I'm not very clear, but this is indeed a bit strange, Arthur?" Triss patted Arthur again, and this time, Arthur finally had a little reaction, Arthur turned his head and looked in front of him girls.

"That... am I opening it a little wrongly?"

Rather than talking to the Knights of the Round Table, Arthur is talking to himself.

In front of Arthur's eyes, what he saw was not an empty but clean hall, but a hall full of nobles who were holding a ball.
