Chapter 9: King Arthur's ominous premonition

"King Arthur has arrived!"

At this time, as the voice of the palace attendant sounded, the entire round table instantly fell silent, and everyone looked respectfully at the blonde girl in silver armor who walked into the round table hall.

Undoubtedly, this is their invincible god of war, beautiful and dazzling as a goddess of Arthur - Altoria Pendragon.

"See my king!" The Knights of the Round Table stood up in unison and headed to Artoria

"Sit down, everybody." Artoria nodded lightly and motioned for the knights to sit down.

"What about the rebellion in the Southeast? Have you found the mastermind? ”

As soon as Artoria sat down, she immediately asked seriously, and it was obvious that it was a mistake of her as a king that there would be a rebellion of such a scale under her rule.

"Returning to my king, the rebel army in the southeast has moved closer to the direction of the royal capital, and at the same time, the rebellion seems to have a tendency to develop to the north, but so far the mastermind has not been found." King Arthur's most loyal Knight of the Round Table, Bedwell, immediately reported that in general, it was him who followed King Arthur to report on the situation of the battle.

"With such a huge rebellion, why was there no rumor at all before? What are the scouts doing? What are the agents doing? Artoria's brow furrowed slightly, obviously quite dissatisfied.

"Honorable King, this rebellion may have been caused by Dagonit." At this time, the Knight of the Round Table Aguiwen immediately said.

"Dagonit?" Artoria was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I know this person best, although it is not very satisfactory at times, but when it comes to chivalry and loyalty, he is definitely not inferior to anyone present. ”

"However, according to one of the scouts who survived, Dagonit was once seen in front of Galahadqing's castle, and besides, the place where the rebellion broke out in the first place was Dagonit's territory, and even if he was not the mastermind, he could not escape it." Aguiwen immediately explained.

Listening to the description of the Aguiwen, Artoria couldn't help frowning, it was obvious that this matter was indeed inseparable from Dagonit, and it was not the time for her to defend Dagonit.

"In addition, according to the reports of the scouts, there are rumors among the fleeing civilians that these rebels are not people, but messengers from hell." Bedwell continued.

"Messenger of Hell? Why? Artoria frowned.

"According to the reports of the surviving soldiers, this time the rebels will eat humans, and they will look like dead corpses, even if they are disemboweled, they can still be on the front line." Bedwell replied.

"This ...... How can it be? ”

The giant round table exploded in an instant, obviously the news they had received before did not have this article, if the enemy was not human, but from hell, then this time it was not just a rebellion!

"Calm down, everyone!" Artoria let out a loud shout, which made some of the rioting Knights of the Round Table instantly fall silent.

"Don't worry too much, this is probably just a trick by the dark wizards." Artoria calmly analyzed, "This rebellion is so rapid and so large, there must be something strange, so I think we should send an elite army to contact it first!" Let's find out! ”

"Dear King! I'm willing to share your worries! ”

At this moment, Mordred, who was usually silent, suddenly got up and said loudly, and the voice was unusually low after passing through the large exaggerated helmet.

"Mordred, would you like to go to the front?" Artoria gave a satisfied look.

"Yes, honorable king!" Mordred nodded vigorously.

"I'd like to go with you, too." At this time, the relationship with Mordred, which was quite good, also stood up and spoke.

"Since you are so brave, then I will hand over the vanguard to you, but all the soldiers under your command together are afraid that it is not safe to face the rebels with dark wizards, so let's mobilize a thousand elite cavalry from among my royal division to you, and at the same time, the other knights of the round table will return to their own territory to protect the people and prevent more people from being bewitched by the dark wizards."

"We must live up to our mission!"

The Knights of the Round Table replied in unison.

"Everyone remembers, the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, and this rebellion must not be underestimated!" Artoria said with a serious face.

Soon, after receiving King Arthur's orders, many of the Knights of the Round Table got up and left the hall, leaving Bedwell alone at Altoria's side.

Artoria waved his hand, signaling everyone in the hall to evacuate, and then said to Bedwell beside him with a sad face: "Bedwell, what do you think of this rebellion?" ”

"Wang, I'm not sure, but I have a hunch that I don't know." Bedwell said respectfully, but when it was only the two of them, Bedwell spoke a little casually.

"That's right, I also have a sense of foreboding, as if the purpose of this rebellion is exactly mine." Artoria frowned and said, as a king, her sixth sense was usually very accurate.

"I don't think the king needs to worry too much, now under your leadership, our troops are strong, and this rebellion will definitely be put down peacefully." Bedwell said immediately, but he didn't understand what King Arthur meant by this, after all, every rebellion is not against King Arthur, who else can it be targeted?

"Forget it, I don't think you understand what I mean, you lead a cavalry team, blend in with Mordred's team, and if something goes wrong, rush back to report to me immediately." Artoria sighed softly and said.

After giving the order, Artoria stood up and walked back to her study with a heavy heart, even without this rebellion, as a king, there were too many things to deal with if she wanted to make the people live a good life, so she needed to work harder.

Time passed quickly, Mordred and Aguiwen, who had received the order to conquest, arrived with an army of nearly 10,000 people, and among these 10,000 people, in addition to most of the soldiers in the two territories and the cavalry directly under King Arthur, there were also a large number of volunteers recruited along the way.

Today, however, they face an enemy far outnumbered them, at least three times as many as they were.

"The Knights of the Round Table on this expedition is Mordred, my master." At this time, seeing the exaggerated mask of the knight in the front, Dagonit immediately recognized his identity, and at this time, he was mixed with Rocky in the middle of the zombie herd.

"Mordred? Seems to be a very powerful knight, huh? ”

Rocky was a little surprised.,I always feel that this name is very familiar.,But Rocky, who hasn't paid attention to the FATE series for a long time, won't be able to contact him at all for a while.,It seems,Before he enters the next shijie.,It's good to make up for it.。

"Yes, Mordred's strength is very good, and he can be ranked in the top five among the Knights of the Round Table, but there is still a big gap compared with the top Lancelot, Gao Wenqing and Galahadeqing, but he seems to be very young, and he is the knight of King Arthur, but his lack of combat experience is a point that you can take advantage of." Dagonit said immediately, beginning to show his old fox nature, in fact, in addition to being a little timid and lazy, Dagonit was also quite a brainy man, very good at arguing between knights and King Arthur.

"Really? Then turn him into your companion first! Rocky had a confident smile on his face, and it was clear that he already had Jihua to deal with Mordred.

"Mordred, look at the momentum of this rebel army, do we need to take the lead in the first place?" At this time, looking at the black pressure on a large crowd, Yaguiwen frowned, although their side was stronger, but he didn't dare not act rashly when he didn't know if the enemy still had reinforcements.

Thinking of this, Yaguiwen couldn't help frowning, the dozens of scouts he sent a few hours ago, but none of them came back, you know, this is his carefully trained elite scout force, and it will not even be able to handle this group of rabble without weapons, it seems that he needs to rectify the scout force after he goes back.

"It's fine." Mordred nodded, and let out a dull voice, "They are keeping a distance from us now, and they don't know what they want to do, so I'll lead a team of people to explore the truth!" ”

"Mordred, you're really a leader! I'll go with you! Aguiwen showed a look of reverence, among the Knights of the Round Table, the most promising are none other than Mordred, as long as he follows him closely, his status among the Knights of the Round Table should also rise in the future.

"No, there needs to be someone here to preside." Mordred immediately shook her head, "When the time comes, you can come and pick me up!" ”

However, before Mordred could gather all the men, the giant zombie group on Rocky's side moved, and one simple catapult after another was sent to the front of the zombie group.

"What is this?!" Mordred made a puzzled voice, in this era, although there were siege weapons such as catapults, there were no ancient Chinese catapults, so Rocky made a catapult based on the famous ancient Chinese thunderbolt, they did not know it at all.

"Mordred, what's going on?" Yaguiwen also showed a puzzled expression.

"Look at this structure is very similar to a catapult, could it be a siege weapon?" Mordred guessed, but while lamenting that the catapult could still do this, Mordred also wondered what the catapult did on the plain, in the time of King Arthur, the catapult would only be driven by craftsmen during the siege of the city, used to smash through the heavy stone walls of the castle, but on the plain this catapult was not very useful, not to mention, now the distance between the two armies is very far apart, I am afraid that such a small catapult can't hit them at all, right?

"Reload!"

At this time, as the catapults all entered the calculating haode position before Rocky, Rocky in the zombie group made a low voice and issued instructions to the secondary zombies who controlled the catapults, although the lower-level zombies had no intelligence at all, but the secondary zombies were still very easy to use, and a total of twenty catapults here were all assisted by these beautiful zombies who were personally infected by him.

At Rocky's command, huge balls of human flesh were loaded into the net pockets of the catapult.

"Oh no, these catapults are loading!"

Seeing this scene, Mordred secretly screamed, although he was not sure that the rebel attack would be effective, but seeing that the ammunition that was loaded seemed to be made of corpses, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
