Before Artoria set out on the expedition, she entrusted the affairs of the whole of Great Britain to Zhou Xiaoning, and gave him decision-making powers equivalent to that of the king. This is equivalent to handing over the whole of Great Britain to Zhou Xiaoning's hands, and this trust is not insignificant.

And Zhou Xiaoning did not live up to this trust in Artoria, during the period when she was away, both government affairs and logistics and supplies on the front line were taken care of by him in an orderly manner, so that Artoria had no worries on the front line, all the way forward, not to mention the five thousand enemy troops who came to attack, and also defeated the enemy's support troops, and now she is in a stalemate with the enemy's main force on the border line.

The Anglo-Saxons were determined to capture Great Britain this time, and even did not hesitate to use force to mobilize a large number of young men in the tribe to form an army of nearly 100,000 people. Between the two armies, there is a river where the water level is not very deep, and the deepest part is only up to the chest, which can be completely waded through. And now, the two armies are facing each other with this river as the dividing line.

In the past few days, several small-scale battles have broken out between the two sides almost every day, and after many trials, they have a clear understanding of each other's strength.

After experiencing the baptism of iron and blood, the army of 10,000 kings has grown into 10,000 lions, even in the face of enemies several times their size, they can charge without fear of death and kill them.

Although she held such a trump card as the Kingdom Army, Artoria still couldn't relax, for no other reason, the enemy's numerical superiority was too obvious. Even if the king's army could defeat five with one, it would only be able to block 50,000 enemy troops. How should the remaining 50,000 be dealt with, and those noble private soldiers who were temporarily called in?

It's really not that Artoria looks down on those noble private soldiers, it's really that there is no harm if there is no comparison. With the same 50,000 enemy troops, the Kingdom Army can confront them head-on, and if they pay a certain price, they can even defeat them. On the other hand, it would be good for the aristocratic private soldiers to hold out for three hours without being defeated.

"My king, you see, can we make use of the talisman given by Your Excellency the Advisor?"

Seeing that Artoria was frowning, Lancelot immediately stepped forward to offer advice.

During this time, some of the talismans provided by Zhou Xiaoning were also used, but most of them were healing and auxiliary. But even so, those talismans were of great help to the British army, and the healing talismans allowed the wounded soldiers to recover quickly, which greatly guaranteed the vitality of the British army. The Auxiliary Talisman can make the soldiers faster, stronger, and more enduring, greatly improving the combat capability of the British army.

It was precisely because of this that the British army was able to maintain a stalemate with the Anglo-Saxon army in the face of an absolute disadvantage in strength, and no one dared to act rashly.

The healing and support talismans alone have such an effect, and if they use the attack talisman and summoning talisman, they may be able to return triumphantly in no time!

Hearing Lancelot's words, Artoria raised her head suddenly, and it was only then that she suddenly realized that it was not only Lancelot, but the other Knights of the Round Table, and even all the soldiers of Great Britain who thought so. It's just that they don't know that the talisman can certainly allow them to win, but all the price has to be borne by Zhou Xiaoning.

If he really did that, the two major inhibitory forces would definitely not let Zhou Xiaoning go easily.

Artoria asked herself if she couldn't do such a selfish thing, otherwise she wouldn't have tried her best to stop Zhou Xiaoning from taking action in person.

"Okay, the attack talisman must not be used, this is my order!"

Artoria was very irritated to give this order that made all the Knights of the Round Table feel inexplicable, but at this time the Knights of the Round Table were still very loyal, although they did not understand why Artoria was like this, but they still did not hesitate to accept the order, and sealed all the attack talismans as soon as possible.

And just like that, another three days passed.

Unlike the British Army, the Anglo-Saxons fought from a distance, and logistics were their biggest shortcoming. Originally, the Anglo-Saxons were confident that they would be able to capture Great Britain in less than ten days with their army. When the time comes, they have a rich Britain as a territory, are they afraid that there will be nothing to eat?

Because of this, the Anglo-Saxon army did not carry a lot of grain and grass. But the disappearance gave them a resounding slap in the face, and now the two sides have been in a stalemate for more than ten days, the Anglo-Saxon army has run out of food and grass, and the follow-up supplies will not be delivered for a while and a half, which can't help but make the people in the army panic.

I have to say that there are also capable people among the Anglo-Saxons, such as the leading general this time, who quickly found a way to solve the dilemma in front of him.

"My king, it's not good, the enemy has launched a general attack!"

A messenger rushed in in a hurry, and before he could salute Artoria and the Knights of the Round Table, he couldn't wait to tell the latest information.

"What!"

Everyone present was taken aback, and at this time they did not care about correcting the etiquette of a small soldier, and everyone rushed out to the area with a wide field of vision, looking across the river.

Sure enough, 100,000 enemy troops had all been drawn and slaughtered the British army.

"Everyone, get ready to fight!"

Despite the suddenness of the incident, the Knights of the Round Table showed their outstanding talents, and in a matter of minutes, they gathered the somewhat disorganized army and set themselves up to meet the enemy.

100,000 enemy troops waded in, and the British army waited for work, lined up on the shore, which can be said to occupy an advantageous position, especially the archers, when the enemy's vanguard was still a hundred meters from the shore, they opened fire on them, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy.

However, this did not deter the Anglo-Saxons, who were now running out of ammunition and food, and would have died sooner or later if they had not raided Great Britain and plundered it. Anyway, it's a death horizontal, it's better to fight this one, maybe it's really successful.

Looking at such an enemy army, Artoria and the others felt a chill in their hearts, and it was the first time they had seen such a crazy offensive, which was simply adding to the lives of soldiers, which was really against the knightly way they followed.

Soon, however, Artoria and the others had no time to deal with these things, for the enemy had already come ashore.
