"It's the Green Knight!"
"The Green Knight, the Green Knight is here to support us!"
The Green Knight was the champion of the Lake Goddess, the most outstanding fighter of the Lady of the Lake, and the protector of the Holy Land.
His origin could be written into countless myths. Many people believed that he was the incarnation of the Eight Virtues of Knights, while others believed that he was the soul of a legendary Knight of the Holy Grail who had died.
The only thing people knew was that the Green Knight began to appear on the land of the Brittany 30 years after the founding of the country. He constantly guarded the shrines and holy lands of the Lady of the Lake in the kingdom. He traveled through the forests and appeared in the mountain waterfalls. He slaughtered any enemies who dared to invade the Holy Land. He split the heads of his enemies with a long sword filled with anger. When all commotion returned to peace, he quietly disappeared among the ancient trees.
At the same time, he was also the Great Teacher of the Knights of the Holy Grail. He used his own methods to test the knights, especially the expeditionary knights. Sometimes, the Green Knight would appear without warning to challenge them on their journey to find the Holy Grail. If they were defeated, they would even be in danger of being killed.
"Forward! Soldiers, do not fear the darkness. I will fight with you! " The Green Knight, who rarely spoke, suddenly opened his mouth. He was dressed in green armor with thick ivy growing on it. His green warhorse and long sword emitted a strong spiritual light. The warhorse raised its hooves high up in the air and shouted, "Advance! For the Lady! "
"Forward! For the Lady! " The morale of Bordero's army was greatly boosted. The Green Knight took the lead. All the attacks of the vampires were useless against this knight who had fought for hundreds of years. The Blade of Agony in his hand slashed up and down. Two bloodthirsty batwolves were killed by his sword. The pressure on the Sea God Knights was greatly reduced. In a spurt of energy, they forced the vampires to retreat.
Bodrick finally recovered. He pulled out his long sword and led the Sea God Knights to launch a counterattack. Wherever the Green Knight passed, no undead could withstand his attack. He broke through the undead army alone.
A Blood Knight discovered the Green Knight's figure. He shouted, raised a spear filled with tainted energy, and charged towards the Green Knight.
"Blade of Agony." No ordinary weapon could hurt the Green Knight. Many halberds even passed through his body. Seeing the Blood Knight charging at him, the Green Knight raised his dark green sword.
The blade of the sword shone with a blinding light. The Blood Esquire's spear pierced through the Green Knight's body, but the Green Knight's sword cut open the Blood Esquire's flesh. The blade flashed, and the Blood Esquire's head fell to the ground.
Along the way, the Green Knight had slain several Blood Knights. His momentum did not stop as he headed straight for the Red Duke in the middle of the army.
"It's the Green Knight!" The Blood Red Duke saw the Green Knight rushing towards him.
When he was still the Duke of Aquitaine, he had heard of the legends of the Green Knights. The Blood Red Duke felt fear rise in his heart. He roared and pulled out the sword of the Duke of Aquitaine, which had been passed down from generation to generation. He fought the Green Knight head-on.
The moment the blades clashed, the vampires' army was as bright as day. The undead nearby couldn't open their eyes at all, and the weaker zombies were directly purified.
After the clash, the Green Knight's horse continued to charge through the army. Then, with a flash of green light, he disappeared into the mist.
"Ugh!" The Red Duke grunted coldly. There was a crack on his armor. He was clearly injured.
"Advance! For Mannan! For Baldro! " Just as the Green Knight disappeared, Bodrick arrived with the Sea God Knights. The vampires' army was defeated, and the Blood Red Duke felt a great sense of danger. He had to order the Blood Knights to fight.
"Argh!" Bodrick's eyes were bloodshot. He raised the golden trident of the Sea God and pierced it into the mouth of a bloodthirsty batwolf. The power of the Sea God spurted out, and the head of the bloodthirsty batwolf exploded into a rain of blood. Hundreds of Sea God Knights and thousands of Ranger Knights charged at the vampires. The vampires were defeated. The Blood Red Duke covered the wound on his chest and had to order the army to retreat temporarily.
The war horses neighed, and the knights shouted. The vampires' formation was seriously shaken after the Green Knights disrupted it. The charge of the Sea God Knights was the last straw that broke the camel's back. The undead lost control on a large scale, and then automatically exploded into a cloud of blood mist. Just like that, the zombie army and the graveyard guards disappeared completely, turning into dust.
Bodrick led the Sea God Knights to break through two groups of vampires. He knew when to stop and led the knights back to the castle.
"The castle is defended." Back in the castle, Bodrick's expression finally relaxed. "Tomorrow, François will be here."
"Yes, my Duke. Thank you, my Lady. Thank you, Mannan." Sir Houlf was also bathed in blood. His robe was full of holes.
"No, it's all thanks to the Green Knight." Bodrick shook his head. He sighed. "If it wasn't for the Green Knight's help, I might have … You know, Houlf, I really want to let go of everything now and embark on the path of the Holy Grail."
"My Duke, Bordero can't leave your wise leadership."
"I know … Rest, I'm a little tired."
"Yes."
After Houlf left, Bodrick raised his head. There was a portrait hanging on the wall behind him.
It was the scene of the duel between the first generation Duke of Bordero, Marcus, and the Chaos Champion, Svenka. On the huge tower, the first generation Knight of the Holy Grail, Marcus, was waving his long sword and bravely dueling with the Chaos Champion.
The power of the ancestors made Bodrick stronger, and his will became firmer.
If the ancestors can become a Holy Grail Knight, I can definitely become one too.
… …
At noon the next day, François led the reinforcements and arrived. More than two thousand reinforcements greatly relieved the pressure that Duke Bordero was facing. Bodrick personally led the Sea God Knights out of the city and received the reinforcements.
After a short rest, in the evening, François and Bodrick met on the city wall.
The two Dukes looked at the undead army outside the castle. Even after a night of fighting, the undead army showed no signs of decreasing. Standing on the tall city wall, François knew how hard the battle was just by looking at the blood-stained walls and the battlefield. "The vampires' attack is amazing. We have to find a way to defeat the Blood Red Duke."
"Thank you, François. I'm very happy that you can bring people to support me." After a day of rest, Bodrick's spirit was slightly better. He led the Sea God Knights on the city wall and said to François, "It's just that we're still too few in number. Are there any movements from the other Dukes?"
François shook his head. "Berchemund's reinforcements are still on the way. They've been ambushed by a few undead knights and won't be able to arrive anytime soon."
"Heh, so this is our king. I can bet that if Turis Castle falls and I retreat to Bodlius, our king will definitely start preparing to support me." The fine lines at the corner of Bodrick's eyes widened. He was nearly ten years older than François, but François was already a Holy Grail Knight. He looked like he was in his thirties, but Bodrick looked like he was in his forties.
"Now's not the time to discuss that, Bodrick." François was very calm. "The Red Duke's attack won't last for long. Fighting like this is a drain on us, but it's also a heavy burden on his magic power. Also …"
"Not good! Your Grace! "A soldier on the city wall hurriedly ran over." A new army has appeared! And there are two siege towers! "
"Looks like the vampire's reinforcements have arrived." François brought his son, Julius, a large group of blue-and-white-striped Vanford knights and a group of blue-and-yellow Poseidon knights to the city gates.
In the distance, a group of hundreds of undead knights joined the vampire army. Apart from that, two makeshift siege towers stood about two kilometers away from the castle.
"They're siege towers," Bodrick said with a solemn expression. "What are you still standing there for? Use the catapults and destroy those siege towers! "
"My Lord, the catapults aren't far enough. We won't be able to hit those two siege towers!" the soldier replied.
"No, arrows won't be able to destroy siege towers. If those two siege towers get close to the walls, we'll definitely lose. The soldiers won't be able to stop so many enemies." Bodrick frowned. He pointed at the large group of undead knights and a group of blood knights in the distance. "Obviously, this is a trap. If we go out of the city and try to destroy these siege weapons, the undead knights will definitely fight us in the open."
"The siege towers are too far from here, my Lord. The maximum range of the catapults is 800 meters," the soldier said to Bodrick. "We won't be able to hit them that far!"
The huge siege tower was about 15 meters tall. As dozens of zombies and graveyard guards pushed forward, the siege tower was slowly moving. The surface of the siege tower was covered with animal skins and tarps. Obviously, it was used to defend against rockets.
The two dukes reached a consensus. "We can't let this thing get close to the castle."
"Dwarf, where are your heavy cannons? Bring them over! "François shouted." We need cannons! "
"Coming, coming!" The heavy cannons of the dwarves were gradually being moved up the city walls. The dwarf engineer, Dugan Ironman, stroked his beard. "Come, my Lord. Where do you want me to hit?"
"We're going to attack that siege tower? Can we hit it? " Bodrick was surprised that there were dwarves in Vanford's army, but he couldn't care less. The duke tried his best to point at the two siege towers that were moving forward side by side and tried to make himself speak clearly. "That one! Can we hit it? "
"Wait! Wait! " Dugan thought that the Brittany knights were also so rough. The dwarf engineer gave a thumbs up to the siege tower and then narrowed his eyes. "The distance is about 1200 meters!"
François and Bodrick looked at the dwarf engineer with anticipation.
After ten seconds, Dugan shouted, "Yes, brothers. Adjust the position! The angle is 37 degrees and 21 minutes! "
The dwarves who followed the army nervously adjusted the muzzle of the heavy cannons. The wooden box was opened, and the round black cast iron cannonballs were taken out by the dwarves with dirty hands and then placed into the barrel of the cannon.
When everything was ready, Dugan shouted, "Fire!"
"Fire!" The heavy cannons of the dwarves made a heavy muffled sound, and the black cannonballs shot out with thick smoke, bringing with them a gust of wind.
"Bang!" The bottom of the siege tower on the right was hit by the cannonball, and a huge hole was blown in the makeshift siege tower made of wood and stone. Pieces of wood and stone flew in the air and fell like raindrops.
Creak, creak, creak … The lower part of the siege tower could no longer withstand the gravity from above and the large number of tomb guards who were ready to climb up the tower. It let out a twisted sound of being crushed. The tower tilted, and after breaking many wooden pillars, it collapsed.
"Beautiful!" Bodrick shouted happily when he saw that the siege tower on the right was directly smashed by the cannonball.
"Isn't it? The dwarves are always the best. " The dwarf engineer, Dugan Ironman, blushed a little. He stroked his beard proudly, ready to swallow some secrets into his stomach.
He was actually aiming at the siege tower on the left. "Let us continue!"
"Fire!"
