Book 1: Believers of Light Chapter 45: Goals, Barracks
Dregri II looked at the oppressive black clouds over the Valley of the Kings and felt a little depressed in his heart. For the Sinmi of the Valley of the Kings, every Ovite king would inform his successor of the secret before his death. Shocked when he learned of this secret, Dregri II had expected too many times that his father had shown resentment towards the Valley of the Kings and hostility to the Holy See. It wasn't until he succeeded to the throne that he understood why his father behaved so unusually, and rightfully he chose hatred for the Holy See and resentment for the Valley of the Kings, even though it was the burial place of his ancestors, the seat of faith in the Kingdom of Ovite.
At the same time, Drage II had an expectation of when the Valley of the Kings would erupt. I thought that on the occasion of Arthur's coming-of-age ceremony, the Valley of the Kings would erupt in a wave of the undead, and then the Holy See would save the city of Corlus to hit the face of the royal family, but Dregri II did not expect that the Valley of the Kings would erupt at this moment, three years earlier than he expected. In this way, Arthur can only join the Holy See as a paladin according to the wishes of the Holy See. This is a great shame for the Kingdom of Ovite!
"Your Majesty, they have come. The Marquis Merston rode to Drgley II's side and whispered. "Well, let them follow the back of the line. Wait until we've dealt with the undead in the Valley of the Kings before letting them out. Can't let their influence expand anymore" Dregri II's expression was gloomy and terrifying, thinking of the grudge between the Ovit Kingdom and the Holy See, even if he had reigned for many years and had a very high level of literacy, Dregri II wanted to curse.
In order to avoid meeting the people of the Holy See, Dragori II took the lead and left the large army with a detachment of light cavalry and galloped towards the Valley of the Kings. At the back of the march, Archbishop Terraria, dressed as a red-robed archbishop, looked at Dragri II as he rode away, smiling silently. Cardinal Jerry Berwick on the side said with a smile: "Our King is worthy of being known as the 'King on Horseback', and he can't wait for this battle. ”
In the Valley of the Kings, although there are skeleton mages in the skeleton army, the other party does not seem to want to kill them, but wants to drive them back to the barracks, and seems unwilling to let them leave the Valley of the Kings. Perhaps it was the reluctance to let His Royal Highness leave the Valley of the Kings, Jerry thought. This time the outbreak of the tide of the undead in the Valley of the Kings came inexplicably, but it was menacing. Not only did the Black Warriors appear before before appeared, but even the legendary Bone Dragon descended on the Valley of the Kings. Although it is not known what happened in the Necronomicon Mountain, Master Heinris, the archmage of the court, was seriously injured and unconscious, and must have been attacked by an unknown powerful enemy. It seems that all this happened after Prince Arthur came to the Valley of the Kings? Could it be that the change in the Necronomicon Mountain was because of Prince Arthur? Jerry didn't dare to think further, if Prince Arthur was still only a twelve-year-old child anyway, although he was playful, he was a good boy, and he should not have anything to do with the undead in the Valley of the Kings!
"Lord Jerry, how long are we from the barracks?" Arthur shouted to Jerry as he fended off the skeletons' attacks. "Your Royal Highness, we are almost there. Things were probably worse on the barracks side than we were here, though!By the time we left the barracks, the barracks were surrounded by an army of skeletons!" Jerry said with Hank on his back. "It doesn't matter, as long as you get to the barracks, there will definitely be a way to solve the situation in front of you. I believe my father should have sent troops by now. Arthur's answer made Jerry happy too. Indeed, there is such a big thing in the Valley of the Kings, and it is impossible for the royal capital to ignore it. His Majesty the King will definitely send troops. "Your Royal Highness, let's speed up. "Good"
The situation in General Joseph's camp, who had successfully joined the Marquis of Ohebir, was briefly described. Knowing the specific situation, the Marquis of Oheber immediately ordered a part of the cavalry to go to the barracks and escort General Osard and the other wounded and sick skeletal army to surround it. Other cavalry opened the passage for the wounded and waited for the arrival of His Majesty's army before destroying the enemy in front of them.
Now that the strategy was decided, Joseph and the Marquis of O'Heber began to divide their forces. The Royal Guard, led by Joseph, escorted General Osard and his wounded soldiers out of the Valley of the Kings, and the Marquis of Ochber opened the way for them.
Although the entrance to the Valley of the Kings was crowded with skeletons, the cavalry of the Marquis of Oheb and Joseph was dominated by light cavalry. However, the impact of the horses is also extremely devastating to the skeleton's fragile skeleton. The reason why General Ossad was trapped in the skeleton army was because the king's army was all infantry, and in the face of a very large number of skeleton soldiers, he could only end up besieged.
The Marquis of Oheb gave Joseph a look, and then used his main vindictive cavalry as the arrow of the attack, and began to attack the Sea of Skelets. The horse's hooves galloped, and each trampling shattered the skeleton of a skeleton. In a few moments, the Marquis of O'Heber took the lead in breaking out of the way. When Joseph saw the opportunity, he began to move his horses and prepare to break out of this wall of men made up of the Marquis of Auherbert's personal army.
It's just that I didn't expect that General Ossad, who was very tired and weak, seemed to think of something, and suddenly Joseph stopped. "Commander Joseph, did you meet His Royal Highness the Prince when you came over?" "What?" asked Joseph hurriedly grabbed his horse and asked General Ossad, who was sitting behind him. "Have you not seen His Royal Highness?" Joseph's words made Osard understand that Arthur had not left the Valley of the Kings. Although there is also a trail in and out of the Valley of the Kings. But if you want to leave the Valley of the Kings completely, there is still only one road that can be passed, which means that if Arthur leaves from that path, he will definitely meet Joseph, and he will definitely meet him. Because according to the time Joseph came to the Valley of the Kings, Jerry and Hank had successfully left the Valley of the Kings. Unless Jerry was stopped by something, they still stayed in the Valley of the Kings and couldn't leave.
"Lord Joseph, we must return to the barracks! His Royal Highness the Prince has not yet left the Valley of the Kings!" Ossad's words made Joseph feel different, "You said that His Royal Highness is still in the valley?
"I won't be able to tell you the details for a while, but please believe me, Your Royal Highness, the prince is still in the valley. And it is very likely that His Royal Highness the Prince is in danger!" Although the situation was not clear, Joseph knew that Ossad's expression was not false. So what he said is most likely true. If this is the case, then the most important thing is to rescue His Royal Highness the Prince compared to breaking through. Now it is more urgent to tell the Marquis of Oheber to let him collect his troops and return to the garrison camp. Then send troops to rescue His Royal Highness!
"General Ossad, please lead them back to the camp, and I will inform the Marquis of Shan O'Heb. How about we talk about it when we get back?"
"Good"
Without further ado, Osaard led the royal guard directly in the direction of the barracks, while Joseph led his attendants to open the passage of life for the wounded soldiers of the King's army, who were still charging.
"Wait a minute, Lord Ochbert. Now that the situation has changed, we need to return to the barracks immediately. "Joseph shouted behind the back of the Marquis of Ohebir, trying to stop the Marquis of Ohebir. But the sound of the horse's hooves galloping was clearly higher than that of Joseph, so the Marquis of Auherber charged forward in an indomitable position. Seeing that he couldn't stop the Marquis of Ohebir, Joseph couldn't directly move his fighting spirit, "Marquis of Ohebir, please wait a minute!" The loud voice made the charging team of the Marquis of Oheber stagnate, "What's the matter?" The war horse under his crotch neighed, and the Marquis of Oheber finally stopped, and then looked behind him with a puzzled expression.
"His Royal Highness the Prince is in trouble, Lord Marquis, please return to the King's army camp with me immediately!" Joseph saw that the method was effective, and came directly again. The Marquis of Oheb was a little incredulous, "What is Commander Joseph talking about?" "My lord, Commander Joseph is still asking your lord to return, as if His Royal Highness the prince is in trouble." The knight beside the Marquis of Oheb said with some uncertainty.
In fact, the Marquis of Ohebo also heard what Joseph said clearly, but he still couldn't believe it. However, looking at Joseph's behavior, the Marquis of Oheb just wanted to confirm it again.
"Your Excellency, shall we go back?" asked the attendant beside him. "Go back!" said the Marquis of Auherbert with a kick of a long, rusty knife that was about to slash at him, and the skeleton soldier over.
As a result, the noble private soldiers of the Marquis of Ohebir, who had already rushed far away, began to launch a counter-charge against the king's military camp under the order of the Marquis of Ohebir.
On the road to the Valley of the Kings, Dergery II led the Royal Order at the gallop towards the Valley of the Kings. At the moment, it is only a few hundred meters away from the Valley of the Kings.
Arthur, Old Nose, and Tom Jr. stay at the end of the elite squad to fend off the attack of the skeleton army. The rest of the soldiers carried Master Heinrich and Hank on their backs, and ran forward as if they were killing the skeletons rushing through Arthur's defensive line.
"Lord Jerry, how long will it be before we get to the barracks. Arthur asked Jerry after slashing several skeletons in quick succession, holding a lion's fang. "Your Royal Highness, just turn that corner, and we'll be at the barracks. However, we have no idea what the situation is in the barracks now. Jerry exclaimed.
"Okay, I got it. You go first, I'll break it off!" Arthur suddenly stopped, holding the lion's teeth in both hands and raising them to the sky.
Arthur's lion's fangs were once the sword of Arthur the Lionheart, crafted by legendary dwarven masters, and the technique of forging was lost after the end of Age of Heroes. One of the unique features of weapons crafted in the Age of Heroes is that they have a machine spirit. Like guardian spirits, weapons with machine spirits can summon machine spirits to aid the Director in battle.
As the name suggests, the Lion's Tooth Sword was made by Arthur, the Lionheart, after defeating the Golden Lion, with its sharpest lion teeth.
Previously, although Arthur had given Arthur the lion's teeth to Arthur since birth, Arthur had never summoned the sleeping golden lion. And today, for some reason, Arthur actually felt the fierce consciousness sleeping in the lion's teeth. Arthur could actually communicate with him and summon him. That's why Arthur will directly let Jerry and them all go, leaving himself alone to face the endless army of skeletons!
With a majestic roar, the lion's teeth flashed with a golden flash. Arthur felt the lion's teeth in his hand lighten, and in front of him, a majestic lion covered in gold looked at him majestically. "You're Arthur's descendant? Well, you really have a smell on you that I hate. It's just that I didn't expect Arthur's descendants to be really inferior to the next generation. You can't even sense my presence and wake me up until now. The golden lion said contemptuously to Arthur.
Arthur squinted and didn't speak, just pointed the lion's fangs in his hand at the skeleton army behind the golden lion. And the golden lion, who was originally extremely arrogant, wanted to be unable to control his body, so he jumped up directly and threw himself at the skeleton behind him. When he got the lion's fang, Arthur got a hint from Dregri II, saying that there was an unruly golden lion sleeping in the lion's fang, and because he was not convinced that Arthur the Lionheart would defeat him, even if he summoned it, the golden lion would not cooperate. But fortunately, King Arthur had expected it, so there was no need to talk nonsense with the golden lion, as long as he waved the lion's fang, the golden lion would act with the lion's fang.
Arthur waved his lion teeth at will, looking at the golden lion wreaking havoc in the army of skeletons, Arthur actually felt an inexplicable sense of joy. "Boy, stop me. I'll cooperate with you. The golden lion was also a little depressed, and every time he came out, he wanted to scare King Arthur's descendants so that he could make himself feel better, and not let him do those tiring and dangerous jobs, but he didn't expect everyone to know how to command themselves. After a few random swings, Arthur put away his playfulness, "You stay here to fend off the skeleton army." After saying that, Arthur didn't wait for the golden lion to express his opinion, and went directly to chase Jerry and the others.
At the entrance to the Valley of the Kings, the Marquis of Oheber had successfully joined up with Joseph, and three thousand cavalry began to move towards the King's army barracks. "Lord Joseph, what the hell is going on?Why did you change your plans halfway?What about your Highness the Prince who is in trouble?" "Well, I don't know. But General Ossad did tell me that Prince Arthur was still in the Valley of the Kings, and that he was in danger. Joseph explained with a wry smile.
"Why is His Royal Highness the Prince here, eh, as soon as you say that, I found out that I didn't see His Royal Highness the Prince on this march. And His Majesty the King did not explain it to us either. "In the kingdom of Ovite, being twelve means you can go to war and prove that you are a man. Like Dregri II, who joined the army at the age of ten and began training, coinciding with the invasion of the Gates of Hell, so at the age of fifteen, Dregri II embarked on a war to exterminate the devils of hell. Dragri II was also known as the King on Horseback.
"Then General Osaard is not wrong, and he has no reason to deceive us!" said Joseph affirmed, now fully convinced that Arthur was still somewhere in the Valley of the Kings, and that he was in danger. As a result, he didn't expect that Arthur at this moment was not only not in danger, but also successfully released the golden lion in the lion's fang.
"Without further ado, let's hurry back to the barracks and make another decision. With that, the Marquis of Oheber rode directly in the direction of the King's Valley barracks, followed by Joseph.
On the other side of the Kings Valley barracks, Arthur had successfully joined Jerry and the others, and with the help of the Golden Lion, Arthur and his party could advance to the barracks without worry. At the same time, Dregri II, with the Royal Knights of Ovit, had reached the Valley of the Kings. The large army led by the Earl of Palmers was less than a mile from the Valley of the Kings. The noble private army led by Duke Hendries has successfully surrounded the Valley of Kings on the other side and is ready to attack!
