Chapter 41: The Rising Sun

A few days after the kings sent their messengers.

Heavy snowfall for several days completely covered the city of Camelot, as well as the surrounding small towns and plains. As far as the eye can see, there is a white field, and there is no end to the horizon, as if connecting heaven and earth.

It is a very barren wood, not very far from the royal city of Camelot, but it is rarely inhabited. Now completely buried by heavy snow, it is even more desolate, and it is difficult to see people for several days.

But today it was a special guest. About a hundred people, all dressed in light armor, galloped through the forest. The knee-deep snow seemed to have no effect on them, and they didn't seem to slow down at all, and even if you looked closely, you could see that their speed was slowly increasing.

The forest is quiet, except for the occasional birdsong and the rustle of the leaves as the wind blows. The sun was still hiding below the horizon and not rising, and the misty area greatly hindered people's vision, under the dim sky, this forest looked particularly strange, and now the sudden appearance of a hundred or so ghostly figures added to the horror.

Suddenly, the person who had been running at the front and looked like a leader stopped, and then quickly raised his right hand, and in an instant everyone behind him, the movements stopped in place for a moment, and then they crouched down, looking around vigilantly, staring at the white ground that still did not see a trace of variegated like a tiger ready to kill its prey. And a trace of evil aura slowly rose from them.

"What's wrong?" a figure stepped forward and asked.

"No, I suddenly heard something unusual, so it's better to be careful, after all, our mission cannot be missed, and the future of England is at stake, you know?" said the leader in a low voice to the people behind him. What is revealed in the voice is absolute perseverance and the belief in sacrificing one's life for the country.

"We all know how important the order entrusted to us is this time. Since taking this order, the brothers have never thought that they will be able to return alive, and we will not back down as long as it can make Britain rise again. The figure also said like a leader. Anyone can see in his eyes that he is no less resolute than a leader and has no regrets.

Although the people behind could not speak, the leader could see from their bare eyes that they had the same belief as him, and they would not regret giving up their lives for the sake of their country.

"Very well, then move forward cautiously now, beware of ambushes. Although we deliberately found this rarely populated forest as a cover in order not to be discovered, there is no guarantee that the other party will not prepare here, once we find the other party's spies must be killed as soon as possible, otherwise the other party's army will know about it, and we will be finished. The order delivered failed, and it is not a pity for us to die, but because of this the whole plan has failed to the point that it will become an irreparable mistake, and we will become sinners of the country. Got it?" Glancing at the hundred or so people behind him, the leader said in an extremely serious tone.

"The crowd didn't speak, and they couldn't speak, otherwise they couldn't afford the noise if so many people spoke at the same time." Everyone simply placed the long sword in their left hand, and then placed their right hand in a fist in front of their chest, in response to the leader's words.

"Go" nodded in satisfaction, and the leader took the lead and slowly moved forward.

――――――――――― say the dividing line――――――――――

Leah woke up early today, perhaps because the upcoming battle had caused ripples in her calm heart, or perhaps it had become an unavoidable habit for her to wake up early.

The city of Camelot today is no longer as peaceful and calm as it once was. Before the sun appeared, the city was full of murderous atmosphere, and the sound of weapons colliding and the friction of armor as they walked around was endless throughout the city.

The murmurs of the officers and the voices of the soldiers whispering from one to another spread through the streets. Although too loud noises have been avoided as much as possible, it is inevitable that people who are asleep will wake up from their dreams.

Knowing that this was the sound of the king's army when it went on an expedition, they could only hide in their homes and silently pray for victory.

Taking advantage of the free time before the battle, Leah made her way to a hill not far from King Camelot's palace. Looking at the city of Camelot with a panoramic view, and the busy crowd, Leah knew that this was her country and its people. She could feel a deep sense of responsibility and honor, and she thought that the only thing she could do was to give her life to protect them.

I don't know how long it has been, but Leah just stood on top of the hill and stared blankly at the countries and subjects below who needed her protection and guidance, and her thoughts didn't know where to go. When he came back to his senses, he found that the horizon was fiery red.

Before I knew it, it was sunrise. Raising her head to look at the red patch in the distance, the girl's mind was already intoxicated.

As far as the eye can see, the eastern sky is slightly orange-yellow. As time passed, the orange-yellow color continued to spread and became more and more intense, and the place where heaven and earth were connected became golden yellow.

Then the sun slowly left the horizon, red, as if it were a dazzling agate disk, slowly moving upward. Around the red sun, the glow is completely stained. The light and rolling clouds were like a girl in a red suit, dancing.

For a while, the girl was stupid, since she came to this world, she had never seriously seen the scene of the sunrise, and she never thought that the moment the sun rose was so beautiful and so shocking. Maybe people are like this, they have never cared about the things around them, but they just blindly pursue the unreachable scenery, and they only find that they have already had the most beautiful scenery in the twilight.

"It's so beautiful, no matter how many times I've seen it, it's always unforgettable. Time passed unconsciously, and after an unknown amount of time, a voice pulled Leah back to reality.

Looking at the source of the voice with a little anger, he found a tall man standing on a piece of snow not far away, facing the sun with his hands outstretched, with an intoxicated look on his face.

The man was dressed in a knight's armor, heavy but not bulky, shimmering with a pale golden glow in the early sunlight. The long hair of the golden shawl was scattered unruly behind his head, and a bunch of silver-white hair on each sideburn fluttered in the air, showing the knight's free and easy character, and he looked quite stable and mature from the side, of course, talking about the side. Because if you look at it from the front, you will find that the man has a baby face that is very inconsistent with his figure and temperament.
