Chapter 513: On the eve of the decisive battle

Alia made a pitiful look and said to Rangian in an extremely grateful tone, "That's really thank you so much for this knight!" ”

"After all, I'm already a homeless person!" As she spoke, Alia's eyes really squeezed out a few tears, which looked very pitiful.

Ranjinn was only about eighteen or nineteen years old, not very mature, and in the face of the temptation of this beauty, she couldn't resist at all, she blushed and comforted Alia.

"Okay, okay, didn't I say I'd take you to Bylebvine?"

Alia covered her face with her hands, and just under her palms, a sly smile appeared on her face.

Arthur has been very sluggish lately, and although he said that it will not affect the rest of the battle, it is clear that he is not in very good physical condition.

Norwin and his soldiers set up a camp on their own outside the manor, and took them to train every day.

After all, half of these soldiers are new recruits, and they must be as effective as possible before fighting.

Novon looked down from the top of the four-meter-high arrow tower alone, the training of 1,600 people looked huge, and the recruits were also making rapid progress, at least on the training ground, the gap between them and the veterans was not big.

Arthur's letter of covenant to the Duke of Vallar agreed that a decisive battle would be fought on the plain forty kilometers north of the city of Carmellot.

Forty kilometres north of Camelot City, it sounds like a long way from here.

But in fact, it is not, the territory of the Kingdom of Carmellot is small, only 120 kilometers from north to south, and only 150 kilometers from east to west.

The city of Carmellot is almost in the middle of the country, just a little south.

Therefore, the agreed plain is actually only twenty kilometers away from here, less than a day's journey, so Arthur asked Lancelot and Bedwell to lead people to patrol.

The Duke of Valral's army had almost all assembled, a full seven and a half thousand soldiers gathered outside the city of Carmellot, and there were more than nine hundred knights combined, which was a very strong force to be honest.

However, they had been assembling for several days, but had no intention of going on a campaign, and in this case they should have waited at the place where the two sides had agreed to fight, rather than still cowering in the castle.

The Duke of Vallar stood on top of the towering castle and looked out from the narrow window, the inhabitants of the castle were still busy living and paying high taxes, and the soldiers outside were gathering to gamble, or to vent the fire of the women of the camp, or to get drunk with several people.

Duke Valar didn't care, he thought that this was a way to maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops, and didn't the mercenaries who gambled and drank all year round, burned, looted and looked for women maintain a stronger combat effectiveness?

At this moment, one of the Duke of Vallar's courtiers came to his side, and he appeared to be a general in command.

He approached the Duke of Vallar and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, aren't we going to leave now?" It's been three days since the team was assembled, so it stands to reason that we should go to the battle site first! ”

The Duke of Vallar shook his head and rubbed his cheeks, which had become wrinkled with old age, he was in his forties, and his young and healthy body had left him.

He said without looking back: "It's not time yet, the time is ripe, I will issue an order to pull out, don't worry!" ”

The courtier listened to the words of the Duke of Vallar and stopped, as if he wanted to say something, but due to the majesty of the Duke of Vallar, he still did not speak, and after saluting respectfully, he left the room.

That night, a large, elite-looking, and well-armed group of knights arrived outside Camelot.

The defenders immediately reported the news to the Duke of Vallar, who handed him a note.

When he received the note, he immediately stood up from his chair, and the burning oil lamps in the room were shaky because he was moving too fast.

"Your Majesty, I am a subordinate of Captain Robella, Ken Ride, and this time, on the orders of the Commander, I am leading a wing of the Knights of the Holy Grail, and three hundred Knights of the Holy Grail have rushed to support Your Majesty!"

With a big smile on his face, the Duke of Vallar jumped off his horse, walked to Kenled's side, and said, "Please convey my gratitude to Commander Robella, your arrival is so timely!" ”

Ken Rider nodded, took off the helmet on his head, nodded and said, "I will convey your attitude to the captain!" ”

The Duke of Valar smiled with satisfaction and said, "Don't let the knights here, let them enter the city!" I've got them to be accommodated, and there's going to be a big party to welcome you tonight, I hope you'll enjoy it! ”

The reason why the Duke of Valar had assembled his army but did not move was to wait for the arrival of these knights.

After the end of the Holy War, the victorious Jihadist divided the territory of the original Norwids, and the kingdom of Astra, which was closest to the Norwid territory, could not be spared.

In order to consolidate his rule here, King Leonac specially sent Robella, the head of the Knights of the Holy Grail, to lead two wings, namely six hundred Knights of the Holy Grail, one thousand Guardians of the Holy Grail, and two thousand ordinary royal infantry.

They will be responsible for suppressing the remaining Norvids here, protecting the safety of the immigrants of the Kingdom of Astra, and ensuring the integrity of the Kingdom of Astra from being invaded by other countries.

And it was the agreement reached between Robella and the Duke of Vallar at the beginning, so this time the Duke of Vallar spent a certain price and asked for help from the head of the regiment.

And Captain Robella was really honest, and sent an entire wing of 300 elite Holy Grail Knights, which made him much more hopeful of victory in the war.

As for why no more troops were sent, it was because here, it was not only the head of Robella alone, he was only a deputy commander, and if too many Knights of the Holy Grail were sent, it would inevitably be discovered by others, which would not be good.

After the arrival of these three hundred Grail Knights, at noon the next day, the Duke of Valar issued the order to be removed.

All the soldiers were assembled and formed in marching formation, and the Duke of Valar, riding on a group of splendid horses and wearing armor specially made for the king, officially led the army to the march.

Their goal is the location of the battle, they need to know some about the terrain and the surrounding conditions, and let the soldiers like it and feel the atmosphere of the war.

And Arthur made the same decision almost at the same time.

Including the Denlenburg army led by Norven, they also formed a marching formation on the second day of the Duke of Vallar's army.

Preparing to go to the plains of the covenant war, the prelude to the war has begun, and the grievances of ten years will finally be settled this time.
