Chapter 120: The King's Army

About ten minutes later, the two returned to the group.

"Shirou, I'm back. Sister Skaha gave us a great gift! The girl smiled and put her arm around me.

"yes, that's a good thing for you, Skaha-senpai." I said to Skaha, who was standing with his arms crossed.

"It's nothing. I'm leaving the timing of my use entirely to Lily, after all, that's a power that only she can wield. Skaha waved his hand, "So in the middle of the battle for a while, you can just command the army in peace, and don't worry about it." ”

…………

As we talked, there was a commotion among the soldiers in front.

"Did the outpost find something?" The girl suddenly became alert, and pressed her arm to the sword at her waist.

Not wanting to be too conspicuous before the battle began, the girl didn't use the holy sword she had just regained as soon as she came up.

Now her sword is still the "Brilliant King's Sword" taken from Mordred's corpse.

…………

"My king, Lord Guard! A large number of enemy troops have been spotted ahead and are coming towards us at full speed! ”

At this moment, Bedwell approached quickly with a vigorous and sonorous step, and on the way, both soldiers and knights dodged to the side to make way for her.

As a true former Knight of the Round Table, Bedwell spends most of her time with everyone, so her direct authority in the military seems to be more obvious than that of me and the girl.

…………

"Well, we got it. And Bedwell, do you see who the commander is? The girl asked calmly.

"This ......is still unknown," Bedwell bowed his head in shame, "the commander of the opposing side did not command the whole army at the front like us, but put himself in the safest center of the whole army. Because of the heavy shadows, the identity of the commander could not be confirmed. ”

"I see. Then don't blame you Bedwell, you've done your best. The girl shook her head and whispered reassurance to her knights.

…………

"And what about the characteristics of enemy soldiers?" I thought for a moment and then took over the topic and said, "The soldiers who were originally stationed near the border must have seen the invading army three days ago." Why don't you ask them if they are the same enemy troops who came this time and last time. Presumably, this will be a valuable piece of enemy information. ”

“——! Subordinates understood! Bediwell's eyes lit up suddenly, and he bowed down to me sincerely, "Thank you Lord Weigong for mentioning it, my subordinates will go and ask the relevant people and so on!" ”

With that, Bedwell hurried out of the army and did as I suggested.

…………

"Okay, little ghost, the mind is lively enough, if one method doesn't work, try the other immediately. I can't help but look forward to your performance in this battle. Skaha smiled approvingly and gave me a slight thumbs up.

"Well, Shirou always brings something completely different to Britain. Camelot really began to rejuvenate and revitalize after Shirou arrived. The blonde girl also nodded in response to Skaha's remarks, her clear blue eyes staring at my body without blinking.

"Spare me, you two, you've never praised me so much when you're training before." I hurriedly raised my hands in surrender.

…………

A moment later, Bedwell hurried before us again.

"My king, Lord Weigong, my subordinates have inquired about the details of the other party's soldiers. The enemy forces that attacked our British border last time have all joined the enemy line this time. And not only that, but there are many soldiers on the opposite side who are dressed like we have never seen before, presumably foreign mercenaries. ”

"More power?" I muttered a summary of Bedwell's words.

Three days ago, the opponent's army was strong enough to capture one British city after another, and now it has added a large number of men.

Could it be that the other side also felt the tension before the decisive battle and decided to respond to our preparations for this day with the strongest force?

…………

As the opposing army advanced, even without Bediwell's report, the whole picture of its military formation was also in my view.

Tens of thousands of soldiers marched in a neat square formation, moving in unison to the point of being physically and mentally terrifying, as if a person's footsteps had been simply amplified countless times.

There were about 10,000 people in front of them, all of whom were shirtless, with explosive muscles all over their bodies, and strong men holding sharp axes. Needless to say, this classic outfit can only be a Saxon warrior of this era.

Most of the soldiers in the rear were in the opposite equipment. Dressed in well-armoured armor that covered their bodies, with spears in their hands and short swords at their waists, they resembled well-trained dynastic iron armies.

And in the center of this part of the elite soldiers, you can distinguish a carriage in which it slowly marches with the surrounding soldiers, but because it is heavily protected, it is impossible to see who is sitting on it.

…………

“…… Did you find the little ghost, those soldiers in the rear all had a faint magic on them. Skaha reminded me softly.

“……! Is it magical? I shuddered inside, quickly covered my eyes with the magic in my body, and began to pay attention to the soldiers behind me who had a distinctly different style of painting.

Sure enough, although the body structure of those soldiers was no different from ordinary people, there was a very inconspicuous flow of magic on the surface of their bodies, which made them look a little weird.

…………

"Artoria, this is what you mentioned earlier, the many Macedonian soldiers around Iskander." I looked at the girl beside me and smiled bitterly inside.

Although I had been mentally prepared, I did not expect that the number of Macedonian soldiers who would descend on Britain with Iskandar would be so large.

This level of interference can no longer be regarded as influencing history, but is simply equivalent to rewriting history!

…………

"Yes, Iskandar has the treasure 'King's Army', which can restore the original appearance of the Macedonian army that fought with him in his lifetime." The girl nodded slightly, looking at the well-groomed Macedonian army with a solemn expression, "If in the regular Holy Grail War, although his treasure level is high, it is useless. Because as long as he encounters a powerful servant, he can only temporarily trap the other party in the world of mental images for a moment. But now ......"

"Now Iskandar, who has gone down in history, has a top-notch army on call, and he is the most famous conqueror himself." I took what the girl hadn't been able to say, "So, he's an extremely formidable and difficult opponent to deal with." ”
