"Whew... Phew!" The Knights of the Songs stood by the blood-smelling pools of blood, and at her feet were mountains of corpses. www.biquge.info The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her body, and the armor that was originally shining silver was mixed with a different kind of red glow. It is a symbol of glory rendered by the blood of the enemy, a blend of blood and blood.

The Knights of the Songs picked up a weapon on the ground, her saber had been severed from the force of the recent battle. A normal iron sword is a little cumbersome for a Guardian Knight, and sometimes not as durable as a steel fork made of all-iron.

Looking at the scarred sword in his hand, who didn't know whose it was, the Knights of the Songs glanced at the battlefield around them that had turned into a hellish scene.

The corpses of the enemy lay in the vast grasslands, their blood staining the land, and their backs were littered with arrows, or their entrails were spilled through their bodies by iron arrows. These Tydes have used their lives to prove the brutality and absolute violence of the Pulen Legion.

The arrows that spread all over the earth were as dense as the weeds in the grassland, and from time to time you could hear a few human screams and groans from the areas where the arrows were densely populated. The screams of sorrow and the howling cold wind were mixed together, and they were faintly audible hundreds of meters away.

"Report the king's order, and the whole army will quickly clean up the battlefield! Two hours later, concentrate on preparing for the second phase of the military conference!" A herald carrying a banner brought the order from the high platform.

"I see. By the way, what happened to the third guardian knight land, and the fourth guardian knight holy lance?"

As soon as the song heard that it was the king's order, he instantly suppressed the sigh that lasted only a few seconds. Her eyes froze, and she looked at the herald with murderous aura.

"The Third Guardian Knight, Lord Earth, has suppressed the central enemy forces and is currently in the process of strategically sweeping the tail. The Fourth Guardian Knight Holy Lancer Master captured the enemy boss alive, and has now escorted the enemy back to the rear to prepare for torture. Because the sudden appearance of the Glory Legion has scattered the enemy's right flank, and the cavalry is now sweeping away the enemy's remaining forces, and will never let any of them leave this battlefield alive! ”

Song nodded when he heard this. It doesn't hurt to leave no one alive, the second phase of the plan itself is a more difficult and brutal battle, and now it is understandable to kill the enemy and prevent information leakage.

"Command the whole army - two hours to clean up the battlefield, and if you encounter those who are not completely dead, you will die on the spot! The city of Pullon treats the enemy - there is no mercy!!" the Knights of the Songs commanded, turning to the soldiers behind them.

"Yes!!"

After receiving the order, the British regiment immediately began to clean up the battlefield. And it is clear that they have done a very good job, that even a young man who has just been on the battlefield for a short time can execute those enemies who are not completely dead at this moment. After the baptism of the battlefield, many people have grown a lot and become much more stable, more sensitive to orders, and obviously more executed. It seems that he can barely be considered a real soldier.

................................................

Now, let's turn back four days.

At the beginning of the Tedes' invasion of Britain's borders, the Vikings, far across the sea, launched a massive cross-sea campaign. Far larger than the Viking invasion of King Uther 50 years earlier, the cross-sea assault on the British Isles was the largest Viking invasion in history.

Jutland, one of the birthplaces of the Vikings. It is located to the east of the British Isles and is only one-third the size of the land area. But the weather here is cold and the environment is harsh, which is why the Vikings who were able to survive and thrive here are even more formidable and terrifying.

The Vikings are actually a general term, and they are supposed to be composed of Danes, Norwegians, Swedes, and even exiles from the interior of Russia according to the modern division. The first record of the Vikings in Northern Europe dates back to the late 8th century AD, when the Vikings became famous all over the world.

However, in this world, because the technology tree is completely crooked, there are also a lot of deviations in history. For example, this and the Viking invasion fifty years ago should have been a historic event that happened 500 years later, but because of many factors such as the progress of iron tools, and more importantly, the improvement of shipbuilding technology, the Vikings were able to fight across the sea in advance.

The Vikings invaded the British Isles with the intention of seizing a piece of territory, and they traveled thousands of miles across the sea. At the same time, they also played the banner of revenge for the Viking Emperor who was killed by King Uther with a sword fifty years ago, and invaded the British Isles on the one hand, and pointed the spearhead at the British Kingdom at the time.

Fifty years ago, the Seven Nations Alliance fought against the Viking invasion with the Kingdom of Great Britain. At that time, King Uther and the legendary Merlin defended the southern coastline of Great Britain, giving the Vikings a head-on attack. The battle on the southern coast was extremely brutal, and four of the six British legions were crippled, with nearly 10,000 casualties! But at the same time, they also put an end to the invasion ambitions of the Vikings at that time, and let the more than 20,000 Vikings who invaded the sea with blood and fled. Since then, King Uther has received the same reputation as Merlin, and has been called the Guardian of the Light.

Fifty years later, the Vikings once again gathered a large army to form a large fleet. And after landing in Scotland four days ago, they made a bloody storm all the way into Kalukaya.

The Viking army burned and plundered along the way, causing great damage in Scotland.

In desperation, the king of Scotland ordered to completely block the communication artery of Kalukaya, organized 50,000 militia troops and 20,000 regular troops to hold the Kaludian fortress, and burned all the bridges that could lead to the Karodia fort to completely block the southward route of Kalucaya, forcing the Viking army to turn north.

Let's take a look at the route of the Viking invasion, as they descended from Kalukaya north through the Sakalo Gorge and then across the banks of the Rhodes River. By this time, the Vikings had already left Scotland's northern border and entered the southern border of Great Britain.

At this time, the southern border of Great Britain was already an open space, and the three major cities controlled by the noble alliance such as Rover, Carlo, and Sriland that the Viking army would encounter on the way north had all been evacuated before the arrival of the Viking army, including the residents and the army, all retreated hundreds of miles to the east.

But in this way, the southern part of Great Britain was completely undefended, and what was even more hateful was that the royal capital was less than a hundred miles behind the city of Sriland. What's even more frustrating is that the Puren King City is right next to the capital!

This meant that if the Vikings continued north, it would take less than ten days at most for them to reach the city. Due to the backwardness of information in this era, in fact, Great Britain still did not know that the Vikings had landed on the British Isles, and the army was directly attacking the royal capital.

At this moment, Great Britain is still in the midst of a battle with the kingdom of Tedus. There were a total of five legions in the country, two of which were in King Arthur's hands, and the remaining three were the private troops of the League of Nobles. There are also two legions in the royal city of Pullen, but one of them has been pulled out to fight the Tydes, and one legion is left to defend the royal city.

However, this time the Vikings brought 36,000 troops, plus more than 20,000 slave soldiers who burned and plundered along the way, and the army that invaded the Vikings this time has reached a staggering army of nearly 60,000!

For a time, the entire British Isles trembled at the feet of the Vikings......

......................................................

Dusk passed, and darkness covered the land.

A bright moon hung in the sky, shining on the ground and the British garrison.

The daytime victory did not bring a welcoming banquet to Great Britain, and the whole barracks was dull and silent at first. There were guards patrolling back and forth in every corner, and in every tent was a group of soldiers who were resting and their weapons were under their heads, ready to get up and go for battle.

It's already around 23 o'clock in the evening, which is an approximate time based on the change in the position of the moon. After all, in this era, the positioning of time is still relatively vague, and we can only rely on some unreliable astronomical knowledge to make up for the shortcomings.

The king's tent in Great Britain was brightly lit at this time, but the atmosphere inside was particularly tense.

Inside the royal tent, the Knights of the Round Table in Great Britain and the Guardian Knights of King Pleon sat down on two sides, while King Pleon and King Arthur, who were sitting in the front position, did not look good at this time. The faces that condensed into ice showed that they were under tremendous pressure deep inside.

“...... Plunqing, is the CIA intelligence in your mouth true?" King Arthur pinched the bridge of his nose with a tired expression on his face and said with some sadness: "If it is true, it means that we have to face two ordinary legions and three elite legions of the Tydes, and then at the same time we have to face the 60,000 army of the Vikings who are attacking fiercely. There are only four corps of our side and Pullen together...... The size of more than 6,000 people to fight against the Vikings who are ten times their size, and they can't consume too much strength in this battle. Otherwise, we will not be able to defend the royal city of Prim and the capital of Great Britain. ”

After saying this, King Arthur's always resolute expression showed a somewhat poignant and lonely smile. What the hell is going on, is it really the gods who want to completely destroy the Kingdom of Great Britain? Why did the kingdom and the people she so hard protect suffer such a desperate thing in a row!

Char sat in silence with a gloomy expression that could drip water.

Now even a fool can feel that this is absolutely wrong, a small kingdom of Great Britain with a population of more than 200,000 people, and in its heyday only six corps of the middle kingdom has been invaded by strong enemies three times in a row. Leaving aside the Frisian bunch, the sudden betrayal of the Tides, and a Viking who suddenly crossed the sea with the slogan of avenging something that died fifty years ago!

What's there...... No, it should be said that there is some force that is causing the whole world to change, and the singularity of this change is Great Britain or the royal city of Prun. Or even more carefully, is it just coming at me?" Char thought gloomily.

This sudden news made the entire British high-level collective bewilderment, and it is no exaggeration to say that no one can still keep their composure when they hear the news. Suffice it to say, if it weren't for Draco. The existence of the man D. Char firmly controls the rhythm of the whole situation, and I am afraid that at this time Great Britain will fall into an extremely dangerous state of division.

In fact, there are already Knights of the Round Table who strongly recommend that they immediately withdraw their troops and return to the royal capital, and before everything is too late, they can either quickly pack up their things and run away like the noble alliance, or they should quickly consolidate the city defenses and prepare for a bloody battle.

In addition, most of the Guardian Knights who went out on the expedition also had the same meaning. Led by the moon, the earth, the holy spear, and the hymn all tried to persuade Char to return to the royal city of Pulon immediately. They are all the older generation who grew up with the Puron Royal City, and it can be said that the Pulon Royal City is the bond and witness between them and the king, and no one wants the Puron Royal City to turn into a sea of fire under the Viking invasion.

-- Burning the royal city, every guardian knight felt a cold sweat behind their backs when they thought of this, and an indescribable humiliation and anger almost made them irritable to the point of losing their minds! So in order to avoid this, the guardian knights were almost persuading Char, and even the arc knight persuaded Char to come back quickly in the letter.

The same is true of King Arthur. Lancelot of the royal capital also got a notice from the CIA department, and when he heard the news, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, if it weren't for the fact that the royal capital still needed him to maintain stability, he felt like he was about to go crazy.

At this moment, a messenger wearing a green cloak and a white feather stuck in his head suddenly walked outside the tent. The standard dress of the CIA scouts and messengers was no surprise to everyone in the king's tent, and no one wanted to reprimand the herald for entering without permission.

The CIA's messenger whispered a few words in Char's ear, and then left in a hurry.

Focusing on Char, everyone could clearly feel Char's mental change at that moment after listening to the news. His eyes were sharper and his expression was colder, but at the same time, he had finally regained a bit of his true color compared to before.

Char glanced around, then fixed his gaze on King Arthur's face and said, "...... The Blood Knight, who had just left for reinforcements in London, received a reply from Rome. They agreed to send an elite heavy legion to support us, and have already set off on the same day and will arrive here about two days later. ”

As soon as the words fell, a cheer suddenly rang out in the king's tent.

The knights present, including the Guardian Knights, hugged each other with great emotion, and they shouted slogans such as Rome, Great Britain and Long Live the Princely City of Prun. The previous gloomy mood seems to have been swept away, and I have become full of expectations for the future.

King Arthur was not as unfocused as the knights, and she read a different message from Char's dark gaze.

“...... What are their conditions?" King Arthur asked.

It was this sentence that immediately quieted the entire venue.

The expressions of the knights, who had been celebrating for a second a second, suddenly froze, and they were so excited that they even forgot that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Because one second he was still excited, and the next second he twitched coldly, which made the knights' expressions look particularly funny at this time.

Take a deep breath.

Char said with a wry sneer, "Their Roman commander will personally lead his troops to assist us in attacking the Tydes. However, only if their commander asked for permission to lead a mission into the city of Pleon, as well as direct trade with them. ”

Looking at the expressions of "what, I see" on the faces of the people present, the corners of Char's mouth twitched.

...... These idiots.

At this time, Bedewell, who was still behind King Arthur, explained for Char: "The Roman mission to the royal city of Pulon means that their Roman Empire affirmed that the royal city of Pulon is a political signal of an independent state, but it may also be a simple exchange mission. The introduction of direct trade meant that the import and export trade regulations of the royal city of Pleon were directly overturned, and the Romans could directly obtain precious porcelain, glassware, refined salt, white paper, and grain without having to pay large taxes. In particular, porcelain, glassware, and refined salt, both of which are rare items that cannot be bought at a high price, can earn more than ten times the huge profit when they are directly resold to the European continent. ”

"They're taking advantage of the fire!And the city of Pullen is part of Great Britain, not an independent kingdom!!," cried a knight of the round table, who apparently didn't look at the atmosphere.

The first sentence was okay, but the latter sentence directly made all the guardian knights look displeased. Originally, they were unwilling to let the Pulen King City be subordinated to Great Britain, and it was difficult to say anything because of Char's face before, and the king didn't listen anyway. But Nima speaks tactfully, don't you understand?! Really, when we don't understand what it means to add a yellow robe, it's not reversed?!

The knight of the round table's companion was quick-eyed, and he went up and slapped the idiot who couldn't read the air. Then he helplessly smiled at the ugly-faced guardian knights opposite: "Hehe, I'm sorry he hit his head when he charged today, don't worry too much." ”

Although most of the knights believed that the city of Prun was part of the Kingdom of Great Britain, it was time to put the rest aside for the sake of unity. In fact, the guardian knights of Pullen also plan to do the same, and we will talk about it later, but how can they come up directly and fan them in the face like this?

“...... No, the royal city of Pleon is indeed part of Great Britain. But there will be a little difference, but I will also talk about the details of King Arthur himself. Don't worry too much about the people below you, or else - do you want to die once? The words were addressed to King Arthur, but the last glance drifted to the guardian knights behind him. Obviously, this is Char warning the guardian knights not to be too self-conscious, and it is he who says that the Pulen King City is independent or not!

These bastards really can't see that they want to play the yellow robe and force him to be the king independently, but the point is that there is no need for independence, Char just needs to go down slowly according to his own plan. After all, he already had the whole plan......
