PS2: Many people ask me to update twice a day. I also think that it's fine. One update a day, 4000 words per update, or two updates a day, 2000 words per update. It depends on everyone's opinions.
Julius Antley was the eldest son of Brittany Duke Winford. He was known as the strongest man of the Brittany generation.
Laing and Julius had known each other for some years. As the Griffon Duke and the Duke of Winford were on very close personal terms, Laing and Julius had been introduced to each other, and had fought each other.
In the end, Laing lost the battle on horseback and won the battle on foot. After the fight, the two young men were in disbelief. There was someone in this world who could compete with them?
Laing was the most surprised. He had the geno prototype. There was someone in this world who could compete with him as a geno prototype.
After that fight, the two young men became friends. They both saw each other as strong rivals.
The knight of Brittania carried a two-handed greatsword on his back, and his lance was held by his squire. There was also a shield hanging on the hind leg of his pegasus, and a one-handed sword was tied to the shield. His handsome face was as sharp as a knife, but it was cold as ice. His long blonde hair was tied into a ponytail behind his head. When he saw Leon approaching, he opened his mouth and spat out a few words, "If you are here, I will definitely come."
"I know you will come because I am here. I just did not expect Lady Suria to come with you." Laing shrugged and looked at the female knight standing next to Julius.
She had long, curly blonde hair, a straight posture, and a delicate, almost perfect face. The dignified and elegant temperament of a noble lady and the valiant temperament of a knight perfectly merged together. Her pair of ocean-blue eyes were filled with curiosity. The female knight in front of Leon revealed an incomparably standard aristocratic smile to Leon. "Nice to meet you! Mr. Laing, nice to meet you. "
Of all the women Laing had seen, only the deceased president of the Aesthetic Society, Annette, could compare to her in terms of beauty.
"Yuri is actually willing to bring his baby sister out?" Laing joked, and then took the initiative to extend his hand. "Hello! Miss Suria! It's an honor to meet you again. "
"My brother always talks about you. This time, I heard that Mr. Laing is in Marlin Castle, so I came as well." The female knight smiled and said.
"What awaits us is not a social gathering or a banquet. Are you ready? Yuri? The scouts reported that the green warlord, Uglock, had successfully obtained the command of this army after successfully killing 3 green warlords. After a short rest, we will face enemies twice as many as us. "On the way back, Laing said to Julius.
"It doesn't matter. I will destroy any evil in the name of the Lady." Julius still looked cold, and his poker face looked emotionless. "After this war, I will continue our unfinished duel."
"I also want to see your progress, but not now. We will have many opportunities to fight in the future." Laing thought that he wanted to fight as soon as they met. "In the future, we will fight side by side in the name of the Lady to destroy evil."
"…" There was finally some change in Julius's expression. He stared at Clayon for a while, and his tone changed a little. "It's my wish. I'm very happy to be able to serve the lady with you."
However, there was no trace of happiness on his face.
After the arrival of the Brittany's reinforcements, the last of the Empire's reinforcements had also arrived at Marlin Castle. The scouts had received news that more than 30,000 green skins were rolling in from the Gold Mine.
The Empire and the Brittany's allied forces were also heading to Collerson. They were preparing to meet the green skin army.
In the early spring, the night was as cold as water. In the boundless wilderness, the allied forces set up camp in Collerson. The logistics team continuously transported supplies into the camp.
The Iris Flower Guards and mercenaries who were willing to accept employment had also arrived. The Paladin Bierhoff also arrived with Al- Frey, Dyde, and other paladins to prepare for battle. Laing noticed that Lopes was also in the team.
After a long period of experience and battle, the childish look on Lopes' face gradually faded. What was left was a baptism of blood and fire. A few days ago, he accepted a commission from a merchant and was almost killed by a group of undead. Even though he was rescued in the end, the scars on his face and body told the story of his previous encounter.
The son of Lord Hyde of Mochern was starting to look like a real knight.
The scouts repeatedly reported that more than 30,000 green skins had officially rushed down the Gold Mine and were rolling towards Collerson. If there were no accidents, the allied forces would officially exchange fire with the green skin army at noon tomorrow.
At night, Laing, who had finished his dinner, stood alone outside the village. Looking at the quiet distance, he exhaled layers of white fog and stood silently at the entrance of the village.
The villagers of the small village had been forcibly evacuated by the Empire. Although the villagers kept crying that this would affect the spring plowing, the Griffin Duke's attitude was also extremely firm. Sacrificing a few people was to protect the majority.
Seeing Laing standing outside, the Brittanian knights-errant wanted to go up and ask for a duel with Laing, but their reckless actions were all stopped by the Holy Grail Knight Ulysses. In this army, no one could disobey the Holy Grail Knight, so the itchy knights-errant knights-errant had to give up.
For the Brittany, the Grail Knights were not just knights. They were already examples of the eight virtues of the knights, real living saints.
Laing thought that perhaps the Brittany had considered this situation and sent a Grail Knight to lead the team.
The main body of the Empire's army, except for the standing army, was made up of yeomen. These people enjoyed enough civil rights, but the Brittany did not. The main body of the Brittany infantry was still the serfs. Many of them may have never left their duchy in their lives. Fighting in a foreign country made them feel uneasy. The Grail Knight would make them feel at ease to the greatest extent. He could also make these young and reckless knights listen to his orders.
While he was thinking, footsteps came from behind him. "Are you afraid?"
It was Julius. This handsome blond man was wearing full plate armor. The Pegasus emblem on his body was constantly shining with dazzling magic light. He had a straight face, and his expression was like three feet of ice in winter. "You're afraid in the face of a mere green skin?"
"I'm not afraid. I'm just thinking, Ullers, who do you think can get more green skin heads?" Laing raised his war hammer and turned to Julius with a smile.
"I don't think there's any point in collecting the heads of those scourges, but I think that's a good suggestion." Julius stood beside Laing, his golden ponytail floating in the air. His sharp eyes stared at Laing, and then he suddenly said, "In the past few months, you've done a lot. You've changed. You've become stronger than I thought."
"Thanks to the Lady's glory." Laing raised his war hammer and stared at Julius for a while. "You've become stronger too."
The eldest son of Duke Winford nodded. "When I was training, I met the Green Knight. He guided me."
"The Green Knight?!" Laing was a little surprised.
The Green Knight, the leader of the Knights of the Holy Grail (also known as the Great Teacher), was the strongest knight under the Lady of the Lake. This legendary knight had existed for hundreds of years. He was the guardian of the Lady of the Lake's holy land and the guide of the path of the Holy Grail. No one knew his true identity. People only knew that his whereabouts were uncertain. His figure emerged from the waterfall, wandered in the ancient forest, and split the enemy's head with a long sword full of anger. After all the commotion returned to calm, he quietly disappeared into the fog.
Many people were guessing the identity of the Green Knight. Some said that the Green Knight was a title, and this title had changed countless times. Some said that the Green Knight was the embodiment of the Eight Virtues of Knights, and some said that the Green Knight was the Holy Spirit of the Knight King, Arthur himself …
"Then I really have to congratulate you." Laing was only stunned for a moment, but he immediately recovered and congratulated him again and again.
"But this is not worth mentioning compared to your achievements. I haven't had the chance to duel with the Champion of Chaos yet." Julius frowned, and his face was cold. He looked at Laing, and his eyes were burning with fighting spirit. "I will prove that I am stronger than you."
"You will have plenty of chances to prove yourself in the future, but not now." Laing walked to Julius' side. The two men of similar height looked into the distance covered by the night. "We still have a fierce battle to fight."
"…" Julius nodded. He naturally knew what was the most important thing. "When we return to Brittany, you and I will have a battle."
"And I will defeat you, because I am the Champion of the Ladies!" Laing raised his war hammer, not to be outdone. The person in front of him was a martial arts fanatic. If it was not for his strength that had gained his recognition, they probably would not have been friends.
"In short, I am very happy that you can choose the Ladies." Julius looked at Laing and suddenly snorted. "Your territory is not far from Helenhilde. It only takes fifteen minutes to get there on a pegasus. We will be neighbors in the future."
"My territory?"
"Yes, the Knights of the Holy Grail cleared it. Her Highness Morgiana named it Baron Zeon." After Julius said a few words, the son of Duke Winford suddenly turned his head and looked behind him. "Suria?"
Seeing this, Leon turned his head as well. The female knight Sulia, who was dressed in military attire and had a head of dazzling blonde hair, was standing behind the two of them. She was like a blooming iris flower. Seeing that both Julius and Leon were looking at her, the female knight smiled brightly. "Brother, this is the first day that you've spoken the most since I came of age."
"Pfft!" Lionheart couldn't help but laugh. Julius was just like that. He was a martial arts fanatic and a man of few words. Lionheart looked at Julius and said, "Julius, is this the reason why you brought your sister out? You know that tomorrow will be a fierce battle. No matter how many guards there are, it will be difficult to protect her. "
"Please don't underestimate me, Mr. Laing." The female knight raised the knight's longsword in her hand, her sea blue eyes full of seriousness. A strand of blonde hair fell from her forehead. "I will prove to you that I am also an excellent knight."
Laing could feel that she was not joking with him, so the champion of the Lady of the Lake also replied seriously, "Then I look forward to your performance."
The night passed quickly.
When the first rays of the morning sun appeared on the horizon, the camp of the human alliance quickly woke up with a loud bugle call. The soldiers boiled water and cooked, the human and dwarf engineers were constantly adjusting the cannons, the musketeers cleaned up their guns, and the knights put on their plate armor with the help of their squires.
The scouts went out in waves, and then came back in waves. The latest news was constantly sent to the central tent.
"The Green Skin army is twenty kilometers away!"
"The Green Skin army is ten kilometers away!"
"The Green Skin army is five kilometers away!"
Under the command of their captain, groups of imperial infantry were arranged in their positions, while Brittania's infantry also stood in their positions under the command of the knights.
The Duke of Gryphon arranged the Iris Flower Guards from Marienburg to the right wing. Groups of mercenaries and paladins were holding all kinds of weapons, most of them carrying bows and crossbows on their backs. They were capable of both long-range and close combat. A large number of mobile rangers were mixed in. These rangers were mostly armed with simple handguns, and huge trebuchets were placed behind the formation.
The most elite troops in the right wing were undoubtedly the Sea God Knights. These trident wielding Sea God Knights were ready to go, loudly shouting the name of Sea God Mannen.
The left wing was formed by the reinforcements from Brittania. A large number of rangers and a small number of knights from the Kingdom formed a square formation. The young rangers were shouting and shouting their names. They couldn't wait to show off their bravery to the lady.
The Knight King's infantry were arranged around the knights. They were wearing simple leather armor and round helmets. They raised their weapons and shouted the name of the Holy Grail Knight to cheer themselves on. At the front of the line were the archers. These archers were only wearing cotton clothes. They were all real serfs who were forced to go to the battlefield by their lord. Coming to a foreign country was even more torturous for them. At this moment, only the big bows in their hands could give them strength. These big bows were passed down from generation to generation. For the users, the older the bow, the more trustworthy it was, the more it provided spiritual comfort. From this weapon, they could feel the protection of their fathers.
The hearts of the serfs were full of contradictions. They hoped to win the war. Not only could they survive, but they could also receive more rewards from the knights. On the other hand, they did not want their fighting skills to be noticed by the lord and forced to join the infantry.
Their fear and fear were obviously noticed by the Brittany knights. The young knights loudly cursed and criticized the serfs, condemning their dishonorable behavior. Under the stern gaze of the knights, the archers also stood in position.
In the middle was the army of the Empire.
The Griffin Knights were arranged in three rows. In front of them was the elite Empire infantry. The Empire's pike and halberd corps were wearing breastplates and holding spears. The soldiers were proud to be able to fight side by side with the Griffin Knights. The two-handed swordsmen from Carlow Castle were wearing luxurious, glittering plate armor produced by the dwarves. Only the bravest and most honorable warriors could be promoted to the ranks of the greatswords. Today, their greatswords would drink the blood of the Green Dwarfs as the best reward for the Empire. The best swordsmen could even win the praise of the lord and be knighted.
Several cannons were aimed at the distance. The human and dwarf engineers were making the final adjustments to the cannons. The giant cannons, developed by the Royal Engineering College of the Empire in Nur and the dwarves, were the nightmare of all the enemies of the Empire. They would smash steel shells into the enemy's formation and bring destruction to the enemy.
At the forefront of the Empire's formation were the musketeers. The dense rain of bullets would sound the death knell of the Green Dwarfs.
Laing Macado rode on his warhorse Pine Cone and stood beside the Holy Grail Knight Ulles. From the moment he received the invitation letter, he was no longer the White Wolf Knight Laing of the Kingdom of Nords. He was already the Brittany Baron Zeon, the Holy Grail Knight Laing Macado.
For a moment, he was a little uncomfortable. The change of role made him feel at a loss. The Holy Grail Knight Ulles noticed his abnormality. The older Holy Grail Knight just smiled and said, "For the lady!"
"For the lady!" Laing raised his warhammer. Unexpectedly, his heart calmed down. The new badge of the Holy Grail Knight hung on his chest. He could feel that the Lake Fairy was watching him.
That's right, for the lady, for father, and for mankind! Laing gripped his warhammer tightly. His fighting spirit was burning in his chest.
The ground was trembling slightly. A low horn sounded in the distance. These horns were messy and uneven, but no one could doubt that this was the arrival of the Green Dwarfs.
"Fellow humans! Today, we stand here and fight side by side! " Ivan Ferdinand, the Griffin Duke, pulled out the Griffin Real Silver Holy Sword from his waist. He rode on his griffin Calamity of Beasts and gave a speech to the soldiers.
"Whether you are from Marlin Castle, Rick Territory, or Brittany, today we are gathered here together to fight against the evil Green Wave."
"Since more than 1,500 years ago, Charlemagne established the Empire on this continent, we humans have become the rulers of the continent. We have taken root on this land, we have prospered and flourished here."
"But peace and prosperity come at a price. Ever since humans took root on this land, countless powerful enemies have besieged us. Countless evil forces have tried to take everything away from us. After that, the Empire went through many long and arduous wars. There were the invasions of the Green Dwarfs and Ogres, the destruction of the Vampire Court, and the attacks of the terrifying Chaos Army. What never stopped was the betrayal and unrest from within."
"We were once on the verge of destruction. We were once torn apart. We were once weak. We were once defeated. But we never compromised. We never surrendered!!!"
"Because we all have a belief. One country, one race, one belief!"
"We believe! We fight! We win! Let us hold the most loyal belief in our ancestor, Charlemagne, and fight to the death with evil! "
"For Charlemagne! For the Human Empire!!! " The Griffin True Silver Holy Sword was raised high in the sky. The holy light illuminated in front of all the soldiers. The courage in the hearts of the soldiers was ignited. They responded loudly, "For Charlemagne! For the Empire!!! "
"For the Lady! For Brittany!!! "Holy Grail Knight Uhles also shouted loudly.
The soldiers used their halberds to pound the ground. "Agreed! Agreed! Agreed!!! "
Dong, dong, dong. A rhythmic sound was the most powerful response of the Human Alliance Army to the Green Dwarfs. The trembling of the ground was suppressed by the voices of the humans.
Then, a few green figures appeared at the end of everyone's line of sight. They were wearing tattered armor and holding simple swords and shields. They had fierce and rough faces and rough sharp teeth.
"WAAAAAGH!!!" A few green figures rushed towards the Human Alliance Army.
Behind them was a green sea. This sea covered the mountains and plains, almost covering all the fields and roads. It filled the end of everyone's line of sight. Countless Green Dwarfs rushed out from the edge of the horizon and rushed towards the Human Alliance Army like a tide.
Laing licked his dry lips. The geno prototype raised its head. The Griffin Warhammer shone in the sun.
"Let's begin."
