Chapter 498: Arthur Returns Home
Norwen led the army on the way to the kingdom of Camelot, and they made their way through mountains and rivers, overcoming many hurdles, and making their way with difficulty.
When King Leonac received William's letter, he actually thought about this matter.
When Robella, the deputy head of the Knights of the Holy Grail, offered to help the Duke of Valral take the throne of the Kingdom of Carmellot, he didn't think much about it.
After all, the strength of the Camelot Kingdom is really not worth mentioning compared to the Astra Kingdom, not to mention that Deputy Commander Robella also told him that he could get some wealth and a more deferential Camelot Kingdom, and in this case, he agreed to the plan to send troops.
And afterwards, the Duke of Vallar did expropriate and loot in the Kingdom of Carmellot, and finally scraped together hundreds of thousands of silver coins to send to the Kingdom of Astra.
Now, in addition to the obedience of the Camelot Kingdom to the Astra Kingdom, the Camelot Kingdom cannot always loot any effect on him, so the economic benefits are almost nil.
On the contrary, it was the trade with William that brought him more profits, and William's promise to export 10,000 orcs a year made him even more satisfied.
Therefore, he did not subjectively reject William's letter, plus William promised that after the Kingdom of Carmellot returned to Prince Arthur, he would not have any hostility towards the Kingdom of Astra, and would be as obedient and honest as before.
Having received these promises, King Leonac, of course, did not object at all, and wrote directly to William to agree.
The climate in the northern part of the continent is cold, and even though it is already spring, the occasional breeze still makes people feel cold.
Lobin Khan and his two servants were dressed in fine chain mail, covered with smocks, and carried a longbow that looked very powerful behind his back, in addition to the sword hanging from his waist.
He was surrounded by more than a hundred heavily armed soldiers in chain mail and with swords and spears in their hands, and in addition to him, he was surrounded by five knights in various smocks, with long swords hanging from their waists, and horses under their hips.
These knights were all wandering knights whom he met when he came to the army and thought it was profitable to follow him, and during this time of battle, they were all neatly equipped.
After more than a month of bloody fighting, his team had lost more than 3,000 men in the battle, and had grown from more than 3,000 to more than 1,000, but after thwarting several attacks by the Duke of Vallar's minions, he had also assembled an elite army in all iron armor.
As for the others, most of them had a long sword or short sword and spear in their hands, and a third of them also wore leather armor.
It was not the same as when they first rebelled, and they even captured some horses, but since no one could ride them except Lobin Khan and his two servants, and the wandering knights who accompanied the army, the rest of the horses could only be used as horses to transport supplies.
Lobin Khan rode slowly on his warhorse, and a knight beside him carried a banner of more than four meters and embroidered with irises.
Behind them, the serfs were helping them to carry the cavalry spears, and the three-meter-five cavalry spears were also supported by the pennants with irise-de-lis patterns, and they had already broken the enemy's encirclement and suppression several times with the charge of eight people.
And his archery skills, which can be called a hundred steps through Yang, are also widely spread in the team, and are talked about by the soldiers below.
On one occasion, he shot the enemy's leader with a single arrow to death, which directly led to the collapse of the enemy, leaving them almost without a fight.
In addition to training and physical fitness, in terms of combat experience, fighting will, and courage, they are no longer much worse than the regular army.
At this time, he took the army to hide in Tibet, although the rule of the Duke of Valar was shaken a lot, making him shaky, but he also faced the vigorous encirclement and suppression of the Duke of Vallar.
So he fought and retreated, to the edge of the Duke of Valar's power, to the northern coast.
But even so, he was surrounded by the men of the Duke of Vallar on a hill forty kilometers from the coastline.
The generals sent by Valar led 800 troops of the Duke of Vallar, 200 knights, and 1,200 vassals, as well as 200 vassals and knights, all of whom were elite regular troops, and surrounded them.
"Your Excellency, let's give up our resistance! Most of our men are just serfs, and they don't have the ability to resist at all! ”
One of Lobin Khan's servant knights spoke bitterly to him.
However, this well-intentioned persuasion attracted a rebuke from Lobin Khan.
"Has ten years in the forest cost you the courage of your people? The enemy is only twice as many as us, and it is not a certain defeat, how can you be so cowardly before fighting? ”
"I, the noble Baron of Charles Manor, have been compelled to flee into this Sherwood Forest with my wife and son because of the persecution of the Duke of Vallar!"
"Now, the news that Prince Arthur has drawn the sword of Bologna has spread throughout Camelot, and it is my mission to resist the tyranny of the Duke of Valral, even if I die!"
"So, don't talk about running away again, I've already run away once ten years ago, and this time I'm going to fight on the battlefield like a noble nobleman!"
As these words were spoken, a look of admiration appeared in the knight's eyes, and at the same time they were ashamed of their cowardice.
Suddenly, Lobin Khan removed the longbow from his back, and with a whoosh, an arrow flew out of his hand.
More than 200 meters away, a scream was heard at the foot of the mountain, and a soldier of Warlar who was looking up was shot in the throat and fell straight to the ground, desperately trying to cover the wound in his throat.
But the arrow had cut through his great artery and penetrated his trachea, and no matter how much he struggled, a minute later, he was still dead in place.
At this time, Arthur was heading towards the continent of Carmellot on a sea ship.
And more than a dozen warships escorted the perimeter, while in the center, there were more than a dozen transport ships with no combat effectiveness, but a big belly.
The convoy carrying heavy grain and grass had already set off, and even if it was slow because of its weight, it was still ahead of the troop convoy.
Two days passed, and after two full days of wandering at sea, Arthur finally saw the shores of the Kingdom of Camelot.
After ten years away, he finally set foot on his hometown again after a long absence.
Landing was also a troublesome thing, and they didn't land at the dock because of the secrecy.
Because of their large boats, they had to stop in the deep water, and then the soldiers landed on the shore in small boats, and the food, soldiers, armor, horses, weapons, all of these things needed to be moved a little bit.
