PS: In this chapter, I've listed out the list of troops in detail so that everyone can know how many troops participated in this war. Considering that the list of troops is a little long-winded, I'll add an update to this chapter. I hope everyone will be happy and satisfied with this!
PS2: I'll do my best to write a second update. Please vote, subscribe, donate, comment, and share!
Laing, Suria and Morgiana stood on the walls and looked at the endless army. Morgiana nodded slightly. "This will be a glorious moment in Brittany's history. Laing, you've once again gathered Brittany's elite troops. Every duke has sent their strongest troops."
Suria, on the other hand, seemed a little worried. The queen held Laing's hand. "Laing, you must win! If you lose, the whole kingdom will collapse. "
"I won't lose, and I can't lose." Laing said calmly, reaching out to hold Suria's hand. "Don't you even trust me?"
"You're the one who gambled too much, Lane. The preparations for this expedition alone cost 50 thousand crowns," Claude said with a frown. "If you can't keep winning to stabilize the morale of the army and the entire kingdom, then you will end up like King John II. Leon, my husband, all I can do is support you. Nothing must happen to you!" Sulia's tone was still a little uneasy. "Leon, my husband, the only thing I can do is to support you.
"Don't worry, Suria. How can there be gains without effort? How can we win without sacrifice?" Ryan raised his head and looked at the clouds on the horizon. There, the Pegasus Knights were descending. "Wait for my good news!"
Suria and Morgiana nodded. Laing thought for a moment and said, "After I leave, Suria, Morgiana, the two of you should return to the duke's castle in Gene. Don't stay in Culona any longer. Laing will take care of Culona's affairs."
"Got it." Suria nodded with a smile. The queen didn't intend to stay in Culona for long. She still felt that her home was more comfortable, and Morgiana wouldn't object to Laing's decision.
The king stepped onto the city gates and the thousands of knights and soldiers in Bodlius Fields cheered loudly. Laing's glorious story was clear for all to see. Every knight wanted to make a name for themselves and earn the goddess's attention.
"My brothers!" Laing shouted from the walls, "The Lady's knights! Now, we have a chance, a new chance! "
"The traitor Matthew Bad is dead, and Brittania is safe. We can sing the praises of the Lady to our heart's content and enjoy peace on this land that the Goddess has given us. We can have a chance to rest and spend our precious time on prayer and cultivation. But before that, everyone, have we forgotten something? How did the Lady guide us? My knights, tell me, who was it that helped us fight against Necromancer Kemmler Heinrich, using cannons, muskets, hammers, and axes to drive the evil and undead out of our land? "
"It was the dwarves!" the knights roared.
"Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it?
"It was Belega! It was Belega! It was our dwarven brother! "
"And who was it that built the irrigation works and workshops for us and the kingdom during the reconstruction after the war? Who was it that helped us build new towns and walls? Who was it that brought us advanced forging and smelting technology? Who was it that let the river water irrigate the farmlands? Who was it that made the kingdom prosper? Who was it that brought Brittania from its former glory to its new glory?
"It was Belega! It was King Belega! It was our dwarven brother!!! "
"Belega, Belega, Belega!"
The deafening roar shook the earth, penetrated the clouds, and caused the river to tremble.
"Tell me, my brothers, what should we do?" Laing continued his passionate speech. The king inadvertently used his psionic power, and his voice could be heard one or two kilometers away.
"Repay him!" A knight who was already boiling with passion stood up and shouted, "Repay our dwarven brother, our sincere friend!"
Repay him! Repay him! Thousands of knights began to respond. They used their fists to pound on their breastplates. They raised their lances and roared in unison. Something deep in their souls had been awakened. The heat in their blood surged from within their bodies to their minds. The knights let out a unified cry. The ancient and long-lost spirit had been awakened.
Brittany was once strong because of this.
"Knights, now we have a chance. We will once again march into the Evil Land and face our enemies. Those dirty and ferocious green skins and those despicable and insidious rat-men have destroyed the homeland of the dwarves. The king of Belega and his noble clan have become refugees. The green skins are wreaking havoc in their homeland while the despicable rat-men are running amok in the underground world. Knights, we have to unite and help the king of Belega and his clan to take back their homeland!" Laing said loudly, "This is a new holy war for knights. We will go to the Evil Lands, cross the terrifying desert, and conquer one Green Skin fortress after another until we reach the foot of the Eight Peaks! My glorious knights, the great moment has come. "
This time, the cries of the knights stopped. People looked at each other and whispered to each other. A small number of people had doubtful looks on their faces. Just as Leon had said, Brittania was too far away from the Eight Peaks Mountain. Was it really worth it to send out all the elites of the kingdom and even borrow money to repay the dwarves?
Laing did not stop talking. He used his iron gloves to hit his war hammer. "Knights, soldiers, my brothers, I know what you are thinking. The Eight Peaks is indeed very far away from us. It is also true that in the long history of the kingdom, our relationship with the dwarves is not as close as that of the Empire. There are also many knights who have never received any help from the dwarves. This is not wrong. If you refuse my summons, no one in the kingdom can blame you. Your ancestors' glory will not be disgraced, your noble family's coat of arms will not be stained, and your subjects will not think that you are unqualified knights or qualified lords!"
"But do you still remember the teachings of the Lady and the glory of your ancestors? The Duke of Bastogne, Arthur, stood up and decided to form an alliance because of the invasion of the evil race. In the end, he established the Kingdom of the Knight King. In the long history of the kingdom, the Black Death and the Red Pox, which despicable and evil race left us with pain and scars? The Holy Grail Cathedral recorded the twelve founding battles of our nation. Have you all forgotten about them? "Leon roared angrily." Have you all forgotten about the foundation of our nation? Louder, I can't hear you! "
"No! No! Never forget! Never forgive! " A commotion broke out below the stands. The knights seemed to have been greatly humiliated. They roared and shouted to express their anger.
"In this dark age, there is no place in the world that can enjoy peace and stay out of trouble. But when we helped the king of Belega and his clan to recover the Eight Peaks Mountain, his throne, and his ancestor's temple, we also used our lances and swords to defend the harbor of Bordero, the wilderness of Carcassonne, the city walls of Curona, and the lighthouse of Le-En-Courant!" Laing shouted loudly. "It's time. It's time to let the golden irises bloom all over the evil land and the mountains. It's time to purify the evil land in the name of the Goddess. We will destroy the evil outside the kingdom's gate. We will spread the kingdom's flag and spirit across the land and sea!"
"Laing! Our king! "The people below the city walls shouted in unison.
Laing, our king!
Our king!
The champion of the Lady's Chosen One!
Laing, Laing, Laing, Laing!
"This expedition is destined to be extremely difficult and tragic. We will be far away from our home. Our enemy's strength is beyond our imagination. The Green Dwarfs and the Skaven Ratmen almost destroyed the world. But tell me, my knights, have we ever been afraid of death? Have we ever shown any cowardice? Death is not scary. What's scary is being forgotten. I can tell you, my knights, countless riches and endless treasures are buried under the Eight Peaks Mountain. It's the accumulation of the king of Belega and his people for thousands of years. Now, the dwarves are willing to share their riches with us. The countless Green Dwarfs in the Evil Land are all our prey! Previously, it was the Green Dwarfs who robbed us. Now, it's our turn to rob them! "
"Our bodies may die in the war. Our souls may be annihilated by time. But our stories, the echoes in the depths of our souls, will become epics that will be remembered and passed down by future generations until the end of the world!"
"Let us bring war to the Evil Land and bring wealth and glory back to Brittany!"
“Aye！ Aye！ Aye！”
The knights were boiling. The knights pulled out their swords and chanted ancient songs. The voices of tens of thousands of people suppressed everything, trampling the land and the sea under their feet.
"For the lady! For Brittany! "
The king looked at everything in front of him with satisfaction.
He was the king of this country. He would lead the cavalry of Brittany and liberate the world from the shadow of evil.
He was the king!
Looking back, Laing noticed that his women, including Suria, were all looking at him with dazzled eyes. Even Olica, who had experienced countless storms, could not help but have stars in her eyes. The knights under his command looked at the king with admiration. Belega stood at the side, gently wiping the tears from the corner of his eyes with his meteoric iron gloves.
"Don't be too touched, Brother Belega." Laing smiled and patted Belega's shoulder.
"I'm not crying. It's just that the wind is too strong. I'm just rubbing my eyes!" Belega said stubbornly. "Brother Laing, you picked a bad time and place. The wind blowing in my face made me uncomfortable. Don't do this next time."
"Hahaha, I'll definitely do it next time." Laing just smiled and did not refute.
"Brother Laing?" Seeing that Laing did not refute, Belega felt embarrassed. He paused and said hesitantly, "No matter what … thank you."
"Let's talk about that after we win."
"Of course!"
