Chapter 497: Arthur Rises
Lobin Khan was a former nobleman, and even if he was a hunter in the forest for ten years, that did not change his education.
Although his words were not very inflammatory, they were accompanied by his hoarse cries and the fact that he called the serfs brothers and sisters as a nobleman.
Those teenagers are the most susceptible to seduction, they have not yet been crushed by life, they still have heroic dreams in their hearts, hoping to find wealth and honor on the battlefield.
Instead of starting to become numb like their fathers and not holding out any hope for their own voice.
Their emaciated bodies were inconspicuous in the crowd, but they were the first to wave their modest arms and shout in response to Lobin Khan's words.
Later, the men were also infected by Lobin Khan, waving their arms that looked thick from years of working in the fields, and shouting loudly.
In this way, they went home and began to look for weapons, some with their dung forks, some with hoes from ploughing the fields, and some even picked up a wooden stick and used it as a weapon.
This village was mobilized by Lobin Khan dozens of people, Lobin Khan picked up the long sword he brought out ten years ago, and the two servants were also battle-hardened knights, who followed him for many years and were loyal.
In this way, they attacked a small local fortress, which was only defended by seven or eight men, and there was no fighting here, so they wanted to relax.
It was easy to be rushed in by Lobin Khan and two henchmen, and then the serfs who were instigated also rushed in, quickly annihilating the enemy.
Although the outpost is not large, there is a lot of food stored in it, although it is not too much, but it makes every serf have a full meal.
The well-fed serfs had happy smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.
"In this life, I finally tasted the feeling of eating!"
A rough-looking serf man touched his son's head with tears in his eyes.
Although he didn't say anything more, he had already made up his mind that this uprising must be carried on, and that his son would be fed every day, and that he would no longer be exploited by the nobles and their minions like himself.
At this time, the serfs who were instigated had a dream for the first time, that is, to completely overthrow the rule of the Duke of Vallar, use the hero Prince Arthur, and make themselves live a good life in the future.
They believed that all this hardship was caused by the Duke of Vallar, but there were some reasons why they had a good time during the reign of King Uther, but it was good to eat once in a while.
Immediately after the reign of the Duke of Vallar, the tax rate was raised, making their situation even more difficult.
Therefore, they hope to overthrow the rule of the Duke of Valar and usher in Prince Arthur, known as the King of Heroes, even if it is only a prophecy.
Even so, these serfs never thought of subverting the rule of the aristocratic lords, they never thought about it, and they didn't dare to think about it.
The best and best they could think of was to support a wise lord and overthrow the tyrannical and unkind lord of the past, and that's it.
Having defeated the defenders of the fortress, Lobin Khan gave their weapons and armor to the more capable men, which further inspired the determination of the serfs, who were perhaps now called rebels.
As for Lobin Khan and his two servants, they were also fully armed at this time, after all, they were former nobles and knights, and their full sets of fine chain mail were still well preserved, and they were dressed in blouses with irises.
With that, they moved on to the next target village, where Lobin Khan hoped to mobilize more serfs to join his rebel army.
At this time, William received a reply from Arthur again, saying that he could hand over an extremely rapid healing potion, and sometimes even a healing potion that could reverse fatal wounds, and promised that after he returned to China, the navy of the whole country would be used by William, and immediately become a permanent ally with William, share one-tenth of the tax revenue, and help him open up the nearby business situation.
and all kinds of other resources, such as a large amount of wood and stone, will be provided for William for free, all in the hope that William can provide some military help.
William was satisfied with the letter, so he sent three brigades of 1,200 Denlenburg infantry, a brigade of archers, and a company of 200 Iron Cross Knights, a total of 1,800 men, under the command of Norwen, to lead the army on a journey to support Arthur.
At the same time, William also wrote a letter to King Leonac, explaining the situation to him, and assuring that Arthur would not pose any threat to him, and would respect the kingdom of Astra in the same way, believing that King Leonac would understand the relationship and transaction between the two.
After a month's march, the 1,800 troops led by Norwin finally reached the vicinity of the Kingdom of Carmellot, and William also received a reply from King Leonarque, expressing his understanding of the matter and saying that he would not send troops to support the Duke of Vallar.
In a month's time, Lobin Khan's rebel army had swelled to more than 3,000 people, and in addition to him, there were two rebel armies in other places, which made a mess of the Kingdom of Carmellot and seriously shook the rule of the Duke of Valar in the Kingdom of Carmellot.
Lobin Khan had defeated his local baron, taken possession of the manor and its main castle, conquered the castle before the other nobles came to their rescue, and ambushed two barons' troops, annihilating them all.
It can be said that they are in full swing in the Kingdom of Carmellot, and the momentum is quite strong.
Arthur also knew about the situation in the Kingdom of Camelot at this time, and William's letter said that he had sent troops, so Arthur had no last scruples.
Over the past few months, Merlin and Bradian have left almost everything to William, and apart from a little scrambling at first, he has gradually become better at handling all kinds of things.
"Gawain! You go and assemble all our knight troops, including the dragon prince cavalry, and all our archer troops! ”
Arthur said to a handsome knight who also looked very young, and the knight's seriousness revealed his fortitude and loyalty to Arthur, and nodded and walked out.
William turned to the other man and said, "Lancelot, you go and gather all our infantry, and let the Red Dragon Guards wait for me outside the gate after they are assembled!" ”
The knight nodded respectfully and walked out.
"Bedwell, you are in charge of our logistics operations, let the grain convoy go first, stop at the coast of the Kingdom of Carmellot, and don't dock yet!"
Arthur gave orders with ease, someone was responsible for defending the camp, someone was responsible for mobilizing the army, everything was in order and nothing could be faulted.
He also found several followers for himself, each of whom was a man of outstanding ability and force.
Looking at Arthur, who has a very obvious leadership temperament and noble personality charm who has initially revealed the appearance of the Holy King, Merlin and Bradian want to be satisfied and relieved.
