Just as Katarina was trying to ask Aurora for medicine, Olica walked in from outside with a smile on her face. Aurora had a strange expression on her face when she saw Olica. She seemed to want to say something, but she couldn't.
"You're … the Dark Goddess?" When Katarin saw that her question was interrupted, the Tsar was very unhappy. "Didn't anyone teach you the most basic manners? How can you just walk into the tent without asking? Get out, we have something to discuss! "
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. It seems that in the three years that I was gone, the whole process was a little loose." Olica ignored Katarin completely and raised the Staff of Urse at Aurora. The purplish red rose emitted a seductive glow. "Kneel, sow!"
"No … You …"
"What's going on? What happened?"
"Another Ice Witch? Hmm, looks like a pretty good 'test subject'. You're in luck, Your Majesty Katarina. I've brought a lot of new goodies from Nagaros. You're in luck. "Olica's cheerful voice sounded.
The purple light became even brighter.
The next day, when Katarin woke up, she found herself lying on the luxurious bed in the tent, wearing only Aurora's nightgown and a pair of thin, flesh-colored pantyhose. Aurora and Theresa had already disappeared.
Strange. After dinner last night, I chatted with Aurora and asked her about medicine. What happened after that?
Why can't I remember?
Tsar wanted to look for it, but she felt a sharp pain in her head.
"Forget it, I'll find a chance to talk about this next time. I'm so tired. Let's sleep for a while."
What was even stranger was that she slept for a whole day. It was only on the morning of the third day that Olica brought Aurora and Teresa back. The sorceress and her daughter looked a little dazed. Tsar felt like she was a … doll?
However, Aurora and Teresa soon returned to normal. The three Ice Witches chatted and laughed as they went to tour the Palawon Mountains. Olica was the only one left behind.
Laing took the time to rest and reorganize the army in Palawon.
Back to the day when the siege of Palawon was broken, the beginning of Year 2524 of the Empire. The capital of the Knight King's Kingdom, Kurona.
At this moment, the whole of Kurona was in chaos.
News came from the frontlines. On the road to Kurona, a perverted army of 50000 people had landed. Their leader was the champion of perverted gods, Prince Sigwald! He swore that he would come back for revenge. He would conquer Culona and kill everyone in the city. Then, he would stuff his condor into the golden chalice of the Grail Cathedral and let it piss all over itself.
Kurona was now without a leader. The Regent of the Kingdom, Laing, and Suria were in Kakasson to transport supplies, restore production, and settle the victims. The Knight King, Princess of the Knight King, was not there. To make matters worse, all the elite soldiers in Kurona had been transferred to the south. As a huge city with a population of 250,000, there were less than 10000 soldiers in Kurona.
Prince Sigwald was now less than 150 kilometers away from Kurona. If he was fast, he would reach the city in six days. As the news reached the capital, Kurona fell into complete panic. The roads leading to the west and the south were filled with fleeing carriages. It seemed that the thousand-year-old capital was going to fall. The order in the city was also in chaos. All kinds of rumors were spreading, and people were panicking.
Our Sun King! Where are you? Brittany needs you!
At this critical moment, Princess of the Knight King, Suria and Marshal Kalad appeared near the city, followed by 400 Old Guard.
"Pass on my order!" Sulia rode on her warhorse. The valiant and valiant Knight Concubine was clad in Yserama Silver Armor blessed by the Lake God. Wielding the Holy Sword of the Angel Faction, the elegant Knight Concubine gave orders to the old guards. The King's Scepter was held in Sulia's hand. Behind Knight Concubine, the sun was emitting a faint heat.
"Kalad!"
"Here!" The fully armed and valiant Kalad took a step forward.
"Take fifty dragoons and your Marshal's Scepter. Take over Kurona's camp and the city's defense! Anyone who disobeys will be beheaded! "
"Yes!" Kalad left with his men.
"Bertrand, Raymond!"
"Here!"
"Take a hundred Old Guard each. Bertrand will take over Kurona's palace. Raymond will take over all the warehouses and food storage. Prevent any riots! If anything goes wrong, behead them! "
"Yes!" Bertrand and Raymond left.
"The rest of you, follow me!" Suria waved her sword, and her bright golden curly hair spread out like a phoenix's wings. Knight King shouted behind her and jumped on her horse. She led the rest of the Old Guard into the city and galloped along the main road. The red, white, and blue flag was raised by Knight King. It fluttered in the cold air, but it set the entire city on fire.
"It's the Old Guard's tricolor flag!"
"That's Queen Suria!"
"Our Queen is back! Our Queen is back!"
"Her Majesty did not abandon her people!"
"Long live the Queen!"
The city was in an uproar. The citizens walked on the streets, waving their fists and shouting "Long live the Queen!"
The chaotic situation in Kurona calmed down for the time being.
Suria first entered Kurona's palace to take over all the internal affairs and restore the palace to normal. Then Knight King took a few attendants and broke into the Knights of the Holy Grail in Kurona. She announced that all the Holy Grail who stayed behind would listen to her. Finally, she went directly to the Holy Grail Cathedral and asked for all the wealth of the Holy Grail Cathedral and all the Prophets of the Lake.
Every request of the Sun Queen was fulfilled.
Even so, the situation was not optimistic. In the afternoon when Suria took control of Kurona, Knight King waited for Kalad in the royal garden of Kurona's palace. There was also Devenhill, who was following behind Kalad. The young baron was fully armed, and there was a rune sword quenched by the wood elves on his waist. When he saw Suria, Devenhill quickly called out, "Mother!"
"Devenhill?" Sulia looked at Devenhill. Her son had unknowingly grown into a strong young man. The Sun Queen reached out her hand and rubbed Devenhill's black hair. She smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Lilith … Madam Lilith asked me to come and fight with you. Sister Nestra and Sister Alohan have returned to the forest. King Ao Laing summoned them back." Devenhill nodded. Laing's youngest son looked eager. "Mother, I heard that little brother Frey has done a lot these years. He fought more than a hundred battles against the Orcs. I want to …"
"What little brother? He's your older brother!" Sulia was so angry that she hammered Devenhill's head. Her youngest son immediately covered his head and was about to hit him a second time when Devenhill dodged. "I won't lose to Frey!"
You've already lost to him! Sulia secretly curled her lips, but the golden-haired knight instantly became competitive. That's right, how could my son be worse than Amelia's little maid's son?
"Kalad, what's the situation?" The most important thing right now was to defend Polona from the 50000 perverts. Sulia made up her mind, and Knight Ji was determined to defend Polona no matter what.
"It's not good, Your Majesty." Kalad's expression was unsightly. The Brittanian general told Sulia about the situation of the Culona city guards.
Just as Suria had predicted, the city guards had less than 10000 soldiers. Most of the elites had been transferred away, and the remaining soldiers were mostly the old, the sick, and the semi-professional soldiers. Kalad spent half a day inspecting the soldiers and sighed.
"How many soldiers are capable of fighting the Army of Chaos? Give me a number, Kalad." Suria waved her hand and signaled Kalad to give her a number, just like Laing did. Knight King's brows furrowed.
Culona Plains was one of the most prosperous areas in Brittany. Defending the city was always the worst thing to do. Knight King knew that he had to defeat the Army of Chaos as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if the city walls could repel the Army of Chaos, the manors outside the city would be destroyed.
"I've taken a look. There are probably only two battalions of the Lion Guards that Duke Lauen meticulously established, the palace guard legion, and those who are in charge of the city's daily duties and patrols, cleaning up the nearby towns … the armed tax collectors, the freedman rangers, the royal charter longbowmen, the garrison artillery battalion, and the newly reestablished Le-Angoulan marines." Kalad did not hesitate. "According to my judgment, only these troops are capable of fighting the Army of Chaos in the field. Including the 400 Old Guard we brought this time, the total number is only …"
"Only how many?" Suria's tone was cold. She spoke exactly like Laing.
"About 3300 people."
"That's all?"
"My queen, if you want to fight the Army of Chaos in the field, then that's all. The rest are sent to their deaths." Kalad also told the truth. The marshal did not give in. "This is your request. I'm just answering according to your question."
"Very good." Suria took the black tea from the maid's silver tray gracefully and took a sip. "Almost the same as me, Kalad. You've improved."
Kalad's heart skipped a beat. The queen had estimated how many soldiers they could use without even a field visit?
"Your Majesty, the enemy has 50000 people, and we only have 3300 people," Bertrand said anxiously. Bertrand said anxiously, "If that's the case, it's unlikely that we'll be able to fight outside the city. The gap is too big."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Why don't we think about how to defend the city?" Raymond said.
Suria just shook her head.
Kalad, Bertrand, and Raymond were all soldiers. They only thought about whether they could win or not and how to reduce their losses. They calculated the military accounts. Suria was different. Suria was the queen, the one who exercised the royal power on behalf of Laing. She was the ruler of the Knight King's Kingdom. Apart from the military accounts, she had to calculate the political accounts first.
What if Prince Sigwald decided not to attack and looted everything around Kurona? What if Prince Sigwald decided not to attack and looted everything around Kurona? If the Culona Plain was hit by such a disaster, not only would the economy and food production in the north of the Knight King's Kingdom be destroyed, but more importantly, the nobles and the serfs would lose their confidence.
They would lose their confidence in the final moment.
Standing in the palace, the queen of the Knight King was silent for a minute. Suddenly, she walked outside and said, "I'm going to hold a grand afternoon tea party tomorrow. Please send my invitation to every noble in Culona! No matter if they're still there or not, you must send my invitation to them! I'll write the invitation right now. "
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Sulia strode outside. Callaard, Bertrand, Raymond, as well as the Grail Knight Captain Eugene of the Grail Knights' branch in Colona, as well as General Louis Visser Moreau of Colona, who was appointed by Laun, looked at each other, not knowing what Sulia was planning to do.
General Moreau was the commander of the Culona guards appointed by Laun. Although he was not happy with Kalad's decision, he was still Kalad's man! Kalad's prestige was too high. General Moreau not only obeyed the order and handed over the command of the army, but he also came along. "My Marshal, Marshal Roland still has three thousand soldiers at the frontline. I think they're already fighting the Chaos army."
"We can't count on those three thousand." Kalad shook his head. If Marshal Roland retreated, it would be a real military disaster.
"But other than these people, there's no army in Culona that can fight the Chaos army," Raymond said anxiously. Raymond said anxiously. This Holy Grail guard's experience and strength were clearly superior to General Mo Luo's. General Mo Luo looked at Raymond's red eyes and knew that this was an old guard who had drunk the water of the Holy Grail. He could only shut his mouth.
"Who says there's no one?" Devonshire opened his mouth, and the young baron laughed. "Mother has a large group of elite Lion Guards hidden in her sleeves!"
"Lion Guards?" Bertrand did not understand. "But … where is the army?"
"There's no army now, but mother's influence is not small at all. Now is the time to use it." Devonshire smiled and said, "Tomorrow, we'll see how mother conjures an army that can fight the Chaos army in the field!"
… I'm the section break of the magic trick …
Culona was still trying to gather the army and discuss how to fight the enemy.
Marshal Roland Marshall's Brittany border guards had entered their last moments.
On the border castle, Marshal Roland was fully armed. He was bathed in blood, and his shield was full of sword marks and axe marks. The lion statue on his helmet was cut in half. There were less than a thousand people left around him. The Army of Chaos stretched from one side to the other. Prince Sigwald and his Mirror Guards were personally supervising the battle.
In this day, Marshal Roland had led the army to repel three attacks from Perdition's army. Prince Sigwald seemed to have hit an iron plate and could not break through the border castle. However, with the fourth attack, Marshal Roland's border guards were like arrows at the end of their flight.
"Marshal, what should we do?" There were less than fifty guards left out of the three hundred. Most of them were dead or injured.
Marshal Roland was silent for a few seconds. He opened a letter stamped with the queen's seal and looked at Suria's beautiful but sharp words. He looked around and said, "There's no need to say anymore. Pass down my order. In the name of the Lady, fight to the last moment!"
"Yes!" The guards responded.
On the city walls, around the castle, and inside the city, there were shouts and screams.
After another two hours of bloody battle, the marshal was forced to retreat into the castle with his guards.
Marshal Roland's left shoulder and left arm were still bleeding. Even the bandages could not stop the bleeding. He leaned on his sword and watched the battle quietly.
The guards and generals around him were still trying to persuade him, but there were already heavy objects falling and cheering from the Chaos army at the entrance of the castle.
The guards in the castle were all shocked.
"Marshal!" A guard shouted anxiously.
"There's no need to say anymore. Show me the marshal's flag! In the name of the Lady, I will fight to the last moment! "Marshal Roland roared.
"Yes!" The guards around him roared for the last time.
The battle continued for more than an hour.
In the end, there were only two to three hundred soldiers left in the castle. They were still resisting stubbornly.
Prince Sigwald personally led the Magic Mirror Guard Legion into the castle that was in a mess. The champion of Perdition was very surprised by the bravery of the guards. He asked for them to surrender.
He was rejected.
The champion of Perdition felt that his face had been damaged. He immediately ordered an all-out attack.
Relying on the cannons and mechanisms in the castle, as well as the strong gate, Marshal Roland resisted for another ten minutes. At the last moment, when the guards were driven into the Fairy Chapel in the Lake in the castle, there were only thirty to forty people left.
Prince Sigwald asked for them to surrender again, but he was rejected again.
Looking at the Perdition Warriors rushing into the chapel, Marshal Roland's tears fell like rain. He clenched his broken sword and silently prayed to the Fairy Chapel in the Lake in his heart, recalling his life.
He knew that he was not a direct descendant of Laing, and he was not even a direct descendant of Laing. He was not very trusted. He was arranged to take on the responsibility of border defense in the desolate and cold Kurona Road for thirty years. Laing conferred him the title of Marshal only because of his seniority and political considerations to appease the knights and nobles in the north. He did not participate in any of Laing's expeditions, nor was he transferred once. Everyone seemed to have forgotten about him.
He could only be cautious and conscientious. He did not dare to neglect the slightest bit for thirty years. His family wanted him to transfer more than once, but Marshal Roland refused. He was very clear about his value.
Even if he was not trusted, even if he was not in an important position, even if he was arranged to be in a cold place for thirty years.
Lady, Your Majesty, Your Majesty.
I, Roland Marshall, am here today to show my loyalty to the Knight King!
In the late afternoon of January 2524 of the Empire, Brittany Marshal Roland Marshall and his three thousand Brittany border guards were all killed in the border castle of the Knight King.
