Chapter 165: The Banquet (I)

The sound of horses' hooves accompanied by the smoke and dust rising from the ancient road, and the knights of the brigade holding high the banner of "Head of the Red Dragon" finally really appeared at the end of the Charles Ancient Road.

At the entrance of the camp at this moment, 600 Norse hoplites lined up in a neat line, and in front of them, 400 knights of the round table with official knightly rank were fully armed.

Artoria stood at the front of the line, her golden fur arrogant and straight, and the power of the red dragon's veins boiling slightly in her veins.

The girl's eyes, unconsciously, turned as green as a deep pool.

Lancelot, Casiso, Val~Ter, the old butler, Garevot (a follower of the Knight of the Lake), and Gao Wen's two younger siblings, all dressed in purple armor, were all lined up in a row less than half a meter behind her with a serious face.

The knights who came galloping at a rapid pace also saw the red dragon flag representing the Camelot royal family and the blonde princess who came to greet them in the camp.

Their faces instantly flushed with excitement.

Sweat slipped down their long, tarnished hair.

Although the formation was already a little scattered, the group of about 200 knights who were the most loyal to the royal family in England and their 400 servants still accelerated the speed that had already reached the limit.

About twenty meters in front of Artoria, the knights collectively rolled over and dismounted, touched the ground on one knee, and half-knelt in front of Artoria.

"The vanguard of the abyss, the most powerful sword in the kingdom!"

The gray-haired and strong man at the front walked forward, but his huge body was in everyone's perception. It exudes a sharp glow that runs through heaven and earth.

"Royal Knights of Camelot - Ranmarok, see Your Highness!"

He bowed his head. Half-kneeling in front of the blonde princess.

The massive edge suppresses everything around it.

Under Lancelot's soft purple hair, her eyebrows furrowed slightly. But seeing Artoria, who had been calm all the way ahead. There was silence again.

The whole scene was silent for a while.

All you could hear was the sound of branches and branches rubbing against each other in the forest next to the camp.

Half ringing.

"Hah!"

The blonde princess chuckled, and then her eyes swept over the gray-haired knight's figure, and glanced at the knights behind him.

With a half-bang, he naturally pulled out the red dragon sword at his waist, and placed the back of the sword at the front of the sword body flat on the right shoulder of the gray-haired knight.

The gray-haired knight's body tensed violently as the blade approached, but then relaxed.

"Sure enough, it's you!"

The gray-haired knight's powerful aura collapsed in an instant at Artoria.

You can see it. This simple and dangerous action has a certain unusual meaning.

She raised her head, her pupils flashing with a look of remembrance, and spoke to the knight who was half-kneeling behind her.

"Ranmarok, and, everyone!"

"Long time no see!"

The slanting sun in the evening exudes the soft sunshine of reunion after a long absence, and warmly illuminates everything on the earth······

——————————————————

Minutes and seconds passed.

When the silver moonlight sprinkled over the entire Charles Road.

The low roar of beasts and the low chirping of unknown birds. The whole forest comes alive at night.

About an hour after the arrival of Lan Ma Luo and the others during the day, Gao Wen took more than a dozen knights of the round table to escort the real receipt of Artoria and the others' hunting.

A lot of prey and the joy of reuniting with old friends after a long absence.

simply, under the order of the dull princess. A grand open-air barbecue banquet turned the atmosphere of the whole camp into a lively atmosphere.

Almost everyone, except for the heavy infantry, who were on duty in shifts, attended the banquet in the name of Artoria.

Our Edwards. Nature is no exception.

At the rare request of his real fiancée, he still gave up the work of continuing to study the "Fortress Tower Spirit" with a few spellcasters. and the dumb princess came to the banquet.

"Edward, this is the Roscoe Knight."

Artoria took the rare initiative to take Edward's big hand. His eyes flashed with excitement, and he was introduced to a young knight with a beard and a white white wine glass the size of a fist in front of him.

"Good evening, Your Highness!"

"I'm so lucky to see you again!"

The bearded knight greeted his lord with some excitement.

Then he turned sideways and raised his glass of wine to Edward.

"Hello, Mystic, our vice-monarch!"

Despite his rugged appearance, the knight, named Rothko, raised his glass quite elegantly.

"Although it is the first time I have met Your Excellency, with my sixth sense as a knight, you should be a good person!"

He poured the wine into his stomach in one gulp.

"I hope you can take care of our Highness in the future!"

Edward, who was suddenly given a good person card by a big man, couldn't cry or laugh for a while, but he still drank the wine in the cup into his stomach in one gulp.

This kind of heroic act in front of the public, which somewhat ruined the quiet and wise atmosphere of the caster, unsurprisingly caused a round of heckling and commotion among the surrounding knights······

————————————————

Next, Artoria took Edward by the way and recognized each member of the Royal Knights.

Under the brilliant fireworks, endless laughter and laughter spread throughout the camp.

Even the clone knights of the Round Table, who lacked emotion, were infected by this joy, and under the leadership of these members of the Royal Knights, they showed smiles that could not be concealed.

"Each and every one of them is the most loyal knight of the Pendragon family!"

The blonde princess's goofy fur lay softly on top of her head.

She pulled Edward back to the main seat, happily watching the lively scene in front of her, and spoke to Edward.

"The most faithful knight?"

Edward was a little puzzled, although Artoria had already explained to him at the beginning of the banquet that these members of the Royal Knights were all playmates when she was a young princess of the Kingdom of Camelot, and the direct members of the noble family of the Kingdom of Camelot were the most loyal to the royal family.

In Edward's view, this system is the same as the "companion reading" system of the "mother plane" Tian~ Dynasty in ancient times that grew up with the imperial princes.

After Artoria hid in the Helpac family for more than ten years, these noble children who had been free from the constraints and emotional cultivation of the royal family for more than ten years were able to come here to meet Artoria, which had already surprised Edward with their temperament.

There must be truly loyal people, but Edward doesn't think that everyone still remembers the old love of more than ten years ago, maybe there is someone who is the shadow of those real old nobles hidden in the depths!

"Don't overthink it!"

Artoria deserves to have browsed the existence of many books of conspiracy in the Marvel world, although she has not practiced much (╮(╯▽╰)╭), but she still saw the confusion in Edward's tone, and gave him a cute white look.

"Their families are all blood contract knights of the royal family."

The Dumb Princess's tone was firm, and she stood up, raising her glass to the whole banquet.

All the members of the Royal Knights raised their glasses in the same way, and warmly saluted her, responding to her!

"They are as loyal to us as Casiso and Val~t are to the Helpache family where you and your sister exist!"

Artoria's tone was unwavering at this moment!
