When the knights of Brittany were retreating in chaos and panic, the Holy Grail Knight Eisen led the remaining 100 knights and more than 2000 infantrymen to bring up the rear.
They were soon drowned by the barbarians like a tide. The Holy Grail Knight Eisen did not care. He was still waving his sword and killing the barbarian army.
Gradually, the number of knights around him decreased. The Holy Grail Knight Eisen was surrounded by the barbarians. He tried his best to kill them, but he was outnumbered. The blessing of the Lake God protected him from ordinary injuries. However, a spear blessed by the evil god sneakily attacked him from behind. Eisen tried his best to pull the spear out of his body. But more and more Chosen Warriors of Chaos surrounded him. Several spears pierced into his body. The anger of the Lake God made the Holy Grail Knight Eisen slash several Chosen Warriors of Chaos with his sword.
Now, Eisen was panting heavily. His consciousness began to blur. He was confused as he killed the barbarian army alone. In his mind, he was recalling the memories of when he was still a child.
He was born in a noble family in Lyonnesse. He was a devout believer of the Lady since he was a child. Since he was a child, he swore to become a glorious Holy Grail Knight.
He spent his whole life in training and asceticism. Finally, he was recognized by the Lady during the twenty-year expedition and drank the water of the Holy Grail.
Everything was given to me by the Lady. Now, I will use everything I have to repay the Lady.
A battle axe came from the side. The battle axe cruelly interrupted Eisen's recollection. Eisen, the knight of the Holy Grail, who was already injured in many places, still looked unstoppable. He gathered all his strength into one and chanted the holy name of the fairy in the lake without hesitation, "For the Lady!"
The dazzling sword shone in all directions. He broke the defense of a Chaos Chosen Warrior, and the sharp sword pierced deeply into his chest.
At the same time, a battle-ax also gave him a fatal blow from behind. Egil's cruel face appeared in front of him.
His consciousness gradually blurred until he was far away.
The last resistance had disappeared, and now there were only tens of thousands of barbarians cheering for victory. They occupied the camp in front of the knights and crazily fought for the military supplies that the knights didn't have time to take away. They cheered loudly, shouting the name of the God of Darkness. Thousands of heads were piled up into a huge altar, and they were going to perform a sacred sacrificial ceremony.
Many of the chieftains of the smaller barbarian tribes were angry at Egil's cruel actions, but they didn't dare to say anything. Their tribesmen had suffered heavy casualties in today's battle. After this battle, the barbarian army of more than 30,000 had been reduced to a little over 20,000. Although only about 15,000 of the Brittanian knights had managed to escape, there was no doubt that the 9,000 heavy cavalry that had managed to escape were the elites of Brittania.
Egil's' plan in the wild. of the barbarians' army army army...
But that wasn't important. What was important was that the Blood God Khorasan was watching this battle and rewarded his champion. Egil found that his body was filled with more blessings and mutations from Khorasan, and his existence was evolving further.
. was enough to celebrate.
Now that the Brittany army had been defeated, Egil was only one step away from achieving his unparalleled achievement and fame. He had to conquer Lyonassai Castle. Egil noticed that Hangest's belly had become very big after the Blood God's's' blessings. Once he conquered Lyonassai Castle, his son would be born.
Then, he could lead the army back to Scarinth.
… …
The remaining knights fled day and night. After two days, they finally returned to Lyonassi Castle. Now, only the high walls of the castle could give the knights a sense of security.
In the hall of the castle, Duke Dalhead of Lyonasser was covered in bandages. His face was pale, and his left arm was hanging in front of his chest. The Prophet of the Lake, Annala, and his court physician had just changed his bandages. The defeated army of knights had almost emptied the Duke's medical stores. A large number of injured people were waiting to be treated. Fortunately, the knights had retreated without suffering any devastating losses.
"Ugh …" Sitting on the Duke's throne, Dalhead panted heavily. Egil's battle axe had dealt a lot of damage to him, but it didn't hit any vital parts. The Duke could still endure this level of pain, but it was impossible for him to give orders on horseback again. "Uhles, I'll leave the defense of the city to you during this period of time," he said.
"There are only two thousand old and weak people left in the castle. Fortunately, we've evacuated enough knights." Ulles's expression was serious. He said to Dalhead, "My duke, we must ask for reinforcements immediately!"
"Reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements? Does the kingdom still have soldiers to mobilize? " Dalhead's eyes were filled with hope. He looked at Ulles, wondering if Ulles still had other troops to mobilize.
"The dukes in the south still have soldiers to mobilize. I've already contacted them. As long as we ask for reinforcements, Earl Laing's army will immediately support us!" Ulles showed Dalhead the letter from Laing.
"… Laing?" Hearing Laing's name, Dalhead frowned subconsciously. He and Richard were in the same faction, and he didn't have a good impression of Laing.
However, when he thought of the fact that things had come to this point and that he was seriously injured, Dalhead couldn't help but hesitate.
Kalad, who was sitting beside Ulles, was secretly anxious. He thought to himself, What is Dalhead hesitating for?!
If Dalhead, as the duke of Lyonassai, didn't allow it, then even if Laing wanted to help, he couldn't step into the territory of the duchy. This was illegal entry, and it would cause a very serious diplomatic dispute.
"Alright, there's nothing we can do now." Dalhead finally nodded. "Ulles, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll allow Laing and his army to temporarily enter my territory."
After hearing this, the knights in the castle relaxed. Laing's prestige was well-known throughout the kingdom, and his army was excellent. He also had the support of several dukes in the south. If he led his army to help, the predicament of Lyonassai Castle would be greatly alleviated.
After a few words, the topic returned to the defense of the castle.
Lyonassai Castle was a castle by the sea, occupying a large area. The castle was built with very sturdy rocks, and they had spent a lot of money to hire dwarves to guide it. It was enough to withstand the catapults and Empire's cannons. However, the knights had seen the power of the Chaos Inferno Cannon, and they knew that the castle would still have a hard time against it.
More importantly, Lyonassai Castle hadn't experienced a battle for nearly 500 years.
"We can't be trapped in the castle. The firepower of the Chaos Inferno Cannon will drown us. We have to find a way to destroy the Chaos Inferno Cannon, or the castle will be lost," a Grail knight said in a low voice. The Battle of Nanze had ended, and two Grail knights had died on the battlefield. Silluff's flag had also been cut down. The people in the castle were in a state of panic.
"Yes, the Chaos Inferno Cannon is a huge threat to the castle walls." Ulles's blue eyes were emitting the anger of the goddess. The anger in his heart was like the fire of a dragon that would never stop. The failure of the Battle of Nanze was a great humiliation to Ulles. "We have to find a way to destroy the Chaos Inferno Cannon."
"Destroy the Chaos Inferno Cannon? But how do we destroy it? " Dalhead was seriously injured and couldn't move now. He felt that his mind was muddled, and he could only continue to ask the Grail Knight for help.
"Annara's magic will cover us, so … I have a plan." Ulles said to the crowd, "We need to choose the twenty most powerful knights in the castle …"
Ulles told them his plan.
"Okay …"
…
After a short celebration, the barbarians spent three days continuing south. They didn't stop until they were only ten kilometers away from Lyonassai Castle. After that, a grand banquet was held in a destroyed village. The barbarians took out a large amount of food and wine that the Brittany had stored in the cellar and ate and drank without restraint.
Egil sat on the main seat. His pale eyes glowed with a blood-red light. He drank cup after cup of ale, and the Chaos Champion, Corvindoff, offered him a roasted beef leg. Egil laughed out loud. The Southerners might have some strength, but they had already reached the castle of Lyonassai. The huge castle was completely exposed to the barbarians. Tomorrow, his army would attack the castle of Lyonassai and raze this building that the Southerners were so proud of to the ground. They would completely destroy this place.
While the barbarians were brazenly lighting bonfires and celebrating under the dark night sky, a thin mist suddenly appeared in the barbarian camp. None of the barbarians cared about it. They continued to drink and have fun, and even competed with each other. Many of the barbarian warriors had obtained enough heads in this war, and they were evolving into the Chaos Warriors. Many of the Chaos Warriors had already been promoted to the Chaos Warriors. Black hard lumps appeared on the surface of their bodies, and in time, these black hard lumps would automatically grow into the Chaos Armor. Therefore, the barbarians never worried about their armor, because everything was bestowed by the Chaos God.
When a Chaos Warrior continued to gain the favor of the Evil God, they would all become Chaos Champions.
At this time, the pregnant woman, Hannes, held a golden cup filled with clear wine. She swaggered into the banquet and offered the cup to Egil. "My warrior, the greatest king of Skalinth, please let us drink this cup. I wish you and our child a long and healthy life."
At this time, Egil was in a good mood. The tyrannical Chosen of God champion did not care about Hannest at all. However, the timing of her toast was perfect. Egil, who had just won a big victory, had no reason to refuse. He happily took the glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. "I wish our child a long and healthy life! Hahahaha! "
Seeing Egil drink the glass of wine, a light flashed across Hannes's eyes. She drank another glass with Egil and pretended that she couldn't handle the alcohol anymore. She chose to leave and disappeared into the mist.
Egil didn't care. He signaled the barbarians to continue eating while he picked up a cow leg and chewed without restraint.
The Barbarians sang the ballad of the Blood Berserker. It was a Barbarian Berserker named Gruth. Gruth had sacrificed countless lives to the Brass Throne of Khorne over the course of countless years. In the end, he ascended and became the terrifying Demon Prince.
Becoming a Demon Prince was the dream of all barbarians. Becoming a Demon Prince meant that they had truly transformed from a "mortal" to a "god". From then on, they would gain great power and true immortality. Although no one knew if they would retain their mortal memories and self-awareness after becoming a Demon Prince, there was no doubt that becoming a Demon Prince was the highest reward the Dark God could give to his followers. The lowly southerners couldn't understand this kind of reward.
While Gruth's story was still going on, Chaos Wizard Chakeyi felt that the fog in the camp was a little strange. He turned to Egil and said, "Father, the fog is so thick. It's a little strange."
Egil held the cup and didn't move.
"Father?!" Chakeyi suddenly realized that something was wrong with Egil. He quickly shook Egil's arm. "Father! What's wrong? "
"Ugh …" Egil struggled in pain. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. "The wine … the wine is poisoned!"
"Poisoned?!" Chakeyi thought for a moment and his expression changed. It was Hangest. The wine she offered to Egil was poisoned!
"Guards! Protect the king! " Chakeyi shouted. He signaled the Scarlet Guards to come forward and protect the king. "The king is poisoned!"
The entire barbarian camp was in chaos. The Scarlet Guards came out of the fog and killed all the barbarians who stood between them and the king. Chakoi checked the wine cup that Hannest had given him. The Chaos Sorcerer gritted his teeth and said, "It's the Spiral Root! This woman, the Spiral Root she added is enough to kill our entire tribe! "
"Father, wait for me. I'll make the antidote for you immediately!" Chakeyi rushed into the tent without looking back.
Egil nodded in pain. Khorne's Chosen Champion was very tenacious. The blessing from Khorne ensured that he wouldn't be defeated so easily.
Not far away from the barbarians' camp, Higster let out a mocking laugh.
The barbarians, Egil, and the Brittany were all her pawns. This child belonged to her, and only her.
The great evil god, the Prince of Pleasure, Perseus, had made a deal with her. The Child of Darkness in her stomach would be sacrificed to Perseus in exchange for eternal youth.
This was the oracle she received. The foolish Egil thought that the two of them received the same oracle, but in reality, they were completely different. This was a trick that the Gods of Chaos often used. They didn't care about the lives of their followers. They just enjoyed the process.
However, she didn't get far before she found herself surrounded.
The leader of the Holy Grail Knights, Ulles, led 50 knights into the barbarians' camp under the cover of the fog created by the Lake Prophet Anna's invisibility spell. They destroyed the two Chaos Cannons.
Things went unexpectedly smoothly. Youles did not know why the barbarians were in such chaos that they did not put up any decent resistance, but he knew that once the barbarians realized what had happened, they would launch a crazy counterattack, so he quickly withdrew.
Hangest's figure fell into the eyes of Ulles and the 50 knights. They immediately realized how filthy her body was and what kind of monster was inside her.
One of the Holy Grail Knights wanted to kill her on the spot.
However, when the Lake Prophet Anna and her brother, Count Carad, saw Hangest's face, they screamed in disbelief.
"Elizabeth?! It's you?! "
