Chapter 350: Counter-Ambush

Leon didn't explain Kavala's matter to Darion for the time being, after all, Leon wasn't sure if Kavala would appear on the Pander continent.

And the enemy that we immediately had to deal with was the Three Prophets. It may be difficult for Dalion to understand why the former High King of Pander would be a scourge, but he at least knows that the Three Prophets must be undoubtedly a scourge.

The slaughter of the village of Kwyn, the killing of the friendly villagers and the gentle nobles, was an unsolvable blood feud for Dalion and Charles.

Killing the Three Prophets has become the most important thing at present. So, the entire station almost poured out.

The current Griffin Knights are already a fairly strong armed force, and Dalion and Charles have brought out more than 500 people from the station.

However, there were only forty griffon knights among them. There were more than two hundred griffin squires - these squires were all cavalry, and they looked quite strong.

More than two hundred others, all carrying longbows and swords and shields, looked like well-rounded integrated soldiers similar to the Red Arrow longbowmen.

But in reality, these are recruits who have not yet reached the standard of squire, and some of them have just been recruited from the drunkard regiment.

Dalion also introduced Leon to his right-hand man, the Knight Master of the Griffin Knights, Ser Azrael.

Azrael's father was a scholar – a faithful historian and a respected historian.

However, when his father died suddenly in the Lion City ten years ago, Azrael became an apprentice blacksmith, studying at the largest blacksmith shop in the Lion City for several years.

But a few years ago, the Lion Knights suddenly came to the door to take back his father's bachelor's medal and tried to snatch the manuscript left behind by his father.

It was then that Azrael learned that his mother had kept a manuscript of his father's records, which recorded all sorts of dirty things done with the Three Prophets after the Lion Knights had been rebuilt by Ulrik ten years earlier, including many massacres.

His mother refused to hand over the manuscript, and as a result, a conflict ensued, and the Lion Knight killed his mother. Azrael wasn't the kind to go against the grain, he killed the lion knight and fled.

On the run, Azrael has been exposing the darkness of the Lion Knight in various places. A little over a year ago, by chance, he met Dalion's adoptive father, Sir Pauldemar, on the Mount of the Goddess.

Subsequently, Azrael became an important helper for Dalion. In fact, Azrael's greatest help to Dalion was not his martial arts and knowledge, but his iron-striking skills, which he had forged into weapons in the ruins of ebony mines for more than a year.

The most powerful thing about the current Griffin Knights is actually their equipment - this is a force that is fully equipped with ebony swords!

Even Charles' archers were armed with short swords made of ebony. In addition to this, every Griffin Knight is a top warrior.

Because becoming a griffin knight requires not nobility, but many tests. In general, the selection experienced by Amy's female soldiers is somewhat similar, but more rigorous.

First of all, you must swear allegiance to the Pander Kingdom, although there is no real king in the Pander Kingdom at this time, you still have to swear to fight for the people of Pande.

This is basically self-isolation from all other countries. Then, seek the approval and introduction of a griffon knight, such as Azrael.

This kind of referral is different from the general referral, the referrer is jointly and severally liable - if there is a problem with the person introduced by Azrael, such as committing a crime or rebellion, then Azrael must also be demoted to an attendant and re-evaluated, and he must also kill the sinner he introduced himself before he can be eligible for the re-examination.

But again, if no one has been introduced to meet the criteria for a reserve knight in two years, then the griffon knight will also be demoted to a squire - you can't go without referrals, you can't make random referrals, and you can't just find someone to fill up.

Relatives and friends are not easy to do - it is not easy to meet the standard of the Griffin Knights as a reserve knight, and introducing people who do not meet the requirements is tantamount to cheating themselves.

If you vow to fight for Pander, you really have to do it with your heart, which will force the griffin knights to take the initiative to find those promising young people and teach them their skills.

The Knights don't raise idlers, and they don't need the kind of lone rangers who can't communicate, and the active inheritance is the true inheritance.

After the newcomer is introduced to the team, he needs to train rigorously for a long time to ensure that he has enough martial arts and courage, and is familiar with military orders.

In fact, after doing all this, you can only become a griffin attendant. In fact, the requirements for squires are not low, and many people cannot meet the requirements after a year of training...... After that, it's time to become a knight.

Make sure you're literate, able to write all the phrases and military bulletins in their entirety, and then pass the more rigorous tests of horsemanship and swordsmanship – at least to defeat Dalion, who fights with only one hand.

Three griffon knights are required to prove that their daily performance and conduct are up to par, and they are considered to be apprentice knights.

Finally, if you want to become a glorious griffin knight, you have to go to the actual battle, find and take out some of the atrocity villains - that is, solve the problems of the people of Pande.

Protect the village, destroy the heretics, bring back the head of the Cato War Rider, save a village threatened by bandits, or wipe out a nest of thieves - of course, take out a lion knight.

Of course, the difficulty of these things varies, but each goal has a corresponding 'point', and it is fair to reach a certain number of points in two years to become a griffon knight.

This is the legacy of the Griffin Knights, which Dalion's adoptive father, Sir Pauldemar, has kept intact.

It may seem like a hassle and not easy, but at least it's fair—much fairer than the knighthood that can be easily obtained by relying on nobility, whether you were a farmer or a beggar, as long as you can do it, all of them are the same.

Of course, it is precisely because it is not easy that in two years, only forty people have become griffon knights.

Bodaisy was intrigued by the Griffon's inheritance, and felt that if she could reclaim her throne, she would use it in the future to build her Ficavia Knights.

She also believes that nobles and knights should be distinguished, nobles can rely on reincarnation, but knights must rely on ability.

Of course, the knight in her eyes has to be a female knight...... Soon after, Boudis saw the rudiments of her female knight.

The center of the village of Kwyn. A group of people are holding a funeral at the countess's estate. The funeral was set up like that, but it was a little eerie, and there seemed to be a lot of people at the funeral—it looked like there were thousands of people.

Moreover, these people surrounded a force of about four hundred people. The unit was all women, led by a girl wearing a crown and white light armor on a tall horse.

"I didn't expect to lure her over so easily......" The little girl-looking Sercy smiled and waved her hand, and the black-robed men all lifted their hoods and drew their weapons.

The women's unit also drew their weapons, but did not act rashly—the number of people surrounding them was probably ten times that of them.

"Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to meet you! You'd better come with me for a cup of tea, lest there's any blood here......" Midia gestured to the winery behind her.

"Blood eucalyptus? …… Hasn't this already happened? The girl with the crown said calmly, and then rode back a few steps towards her troops: "What are you going to do?" The prophet ......"

"Haha...... Sweet little girl, Amy, do you think there is a forbidden tower here to protect you? Hum ......" Midia laughed twice, then let out a dull roar, "Hum ............

"Oops! Speed up! The Three Prophets are already casting spells! Leon had not yet entered the west side of the village with the Griffin Knights, but his perception was too strong now to hear the roar easily.

The griffon knights and squires began to gallop their horses, and Boudis drew her spear. Rushing to the entrance of the village, he saw two troops facing each other from a distance, and Li Ang saw the girl wearing a crown and wearing light armor at a glance.

But...... That's not Amy! That's Alina! Leon was so familiar with these girls that he could tell at a glance that something was wrong—Amy didn't have that big breasts...... Moreover, there were two other people in front of Alina, although they were both wearing the helmets of the female explorers, but Leon could easily tell them, one was Wendy, and the other was Vendatil!

By this time, Mitya's face had changed dramatically, and after that roar, she even fell under the horse at once.

Probably because of the pain, her entire face was completely distorted.

"Why?! Why is it forbidden here?! Leon heard this incomprehensible question from a distance, and he also heard that it was Midya's voice.

"I made you run away in Payne last year, and I won't let you run away today......" Wendy glanced back, she shouldn't be able to see Leon from her position, but she must have heard the sound of horses' hooves.

Then, she took off her helmet and threw it at Midia, then charged with her sword raised: "Let's go!" Kill her! "Those purple eyes looked like they were glowing!

Several of Midya's followers raised their shields, presumably trying to get rid of the helmet, but the helmet exploded before it could make contact with the shield!

After a "boom", several followers fell to the ground covering their faces - helmet fragments in their faces.

With this explosion, all the female warriors behind Wendy rushed up! Faced with an enemy that surrounded them and was ten times their size, they actually charged directly!

"Griffin Knights, charge at that little girl—that's an evil witch!" Leon commanded loudly, and he saw a teenage girl on a horse holding a sword and trying to slash someone—he wasn't really sure who it was, but in any case, a ten-year-old child on the battlefield was certainly not a normal person...... And, that kid is dealing with Wendy!

In fact, there is no need for Leon to greet him, but anyone with an average IQ can realize that there is something wrong with the little girl, so Bao Daisi and Dalion have already rushed over.

At this time, to the south of the village, a large army poured in, led by Godric. There were also troops in action to the north, a large group of men, all armed with hammers or swords, huge silver gauntlets gleaming.

And in the eastern part of the village, a unit with black armor and two black horns on its helmet also began to charge.

"Traitor, I'm right, the Three Prophets are planning to occupy Queen Sonad's body!" Alistai shouted at another big black man as he drove his horse forward.

That's Jocelyn.

"Of course I believe you, but can you please stop calling me a traitor......" Jocelyn was still dressed as the same demon at this time, heavily armoured, riding a majestic war beast.

Only this time he didn't raise the flag, but held his two-handed sword in one hand.

"Hmph...... But you're a traitor...... Whatever the reason, it is a shame to betray the Order! Alisthai snorted and drove his horse faster.

His voice was a little sharp now, and he hummed a little weirdly.

"Hmph, but you're a traitor now!" Jocelyn snorted twice in return. To be honest, the luck of the Three Prophets in this operation was really quite bad.

They had planned to ambush the army at Kwyn, then hold a funeral, send someone to lure Amy over, and let Midia take Amy's body.

But they didn't expect their people to meet Amy in Long River Town, who thought that Leon had returned, and left Long River Town with a group of cavalry, presumably planning to meet them in the direction of Yaragare.

After all, the information he got was that Leon was buying horses in Yargar. This time is relatively chaotic, and there is likely to be danger on the road, so it is necessary to meet it, even if you don't encounter it, then you can use this cavalry to clear the possible obstacles along the way...... Therefore, it was Alina who received the news that the Three Prophets had sent to inform him that the Countess of Kwyn had died.

Alina and the Countess didn't know each other, so she wasn't in a hurry, and planned to wait for Amy to come back.

Then, Amy didn't come back, and Aliste came first. Alistey planned to defect to Amy, and the certificate he brought with him was the plan of the Three Prophets, who had previously intercepted the letter from Sir Roland, which had actually been passed on to him.

The rebellion in Barranley at that time also had a small credit to the Knights of Dusk. Originally, the whole plan of the three prophets was to control the nobles of Barranli, create a revolt of refugees, and storm the Lion City.

If the Lion City takes in the refugees, it will create the Fallen in the city and destroy the Forbidden Tower.

After the Forbidden Tower is destroyed, Anna is able to try to take possession of Amy's body. If the Three Prophets succeed in establishing their kingdom, then the Knights of Dusk will become the National Order.

But what they didn't expect was that Amy actually evacuated Lion City at the same time as they rioted...... This unexpected change caught the Three Prophets by surprise.

At that time, Alistai felt that either the plan was exposed, or Amy had someone to guide him.

He wanted to evacuate, but he couldn't convince the Descha to return to attack Singar, so he simply came to Amy.

After all, what Alisthai wanted was to make a career, not follow the path of heresy. In his opinion, Amy, who gave up Lion City and returned to Long River Town, had more opportunities.

Of course, the rest of the town in Long River didn't like to see Alista, but Jocelyn was going to give him a chance, and he let Aliste meet Alina.

Jocelyn has always been in charge of training troops in Changhe Town, and this flag officer is now very prestigious.

After Alina learned of the original plan of the Three Prophets, she keenly felt that the affairs of Kwyn Village might be a little strange, and it happened that Wendy was in Changhe Town at that time, so she found Wendy to help.

Wendy was actually waiting for Sir Roland in Long River - she owed Alaric a dragon's tear, and she planned to save Araric.

Sir Roland's warcry cleanses the spirits of their spells, as Wendy had seen when she was fighting Agrim.

It's just that Wendy didn't bring any troops, and only Wendatil was with her - Wendatier was Wendy's bodyguard, and Wendy had been running around for the past year, and Wendatil was very worried.

Wendy and Alina put it together and decided to have Alina dress up as Amy to see the situation, protected by Wendy and Vendatier - the main thing is that Wendy's eyes are too obvious, otherwise it might be better for Wendy to pretend to be Amy.

After dealing with Aegreme, Wendy already knew that she would definitely not be corrupted by heresy, and she felt a little guilty about her early withdrawal of troops that caused Midia to escape, and she planned to cooperate with Alina to take this opportunity to kill Midia.

Of course, no one expected Midia to run away with Oswood's stump - that lump of flesh didn't even have feet, and no one knew how Midia got rid of it.

The main reason was that everyone was busy searching for Leon at that time, and no one had the heart to care about Midia. Wendy and Alina actually brought most of the army from Long River, but only Amy's personal guard was the first to enter the village.

The more than 400 female soldiers were Amy's Griffontal, all female explorers. Alina's plan was that if the Three Prophets were ambushing Kwyn, they would set up an ambush and try to wipe out the Three Prophets' forces.

In order to try to annihilate the forces of the Three Prophets, she herself could take a risk—she had always been willing to take risks.

If Amy was there, she probably wouldn't have made such a decision, but Amy just wasn't there...... So, Alina disguised herself as Amy and used herself as a bait, planning to lure out all the ambushes of the three prophets, and then let the troops outside the village besiege from all directions, striving for the annihilation of one of the remaining ones!

Now the ambush of the Three Prophets has indeed lured out, and Midia looks like she has been devoured by magic.

So, after hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Wendy tried to capture the thief and capture the king first. With Vendatil by her side, Wendy is not afraid of anyone.

Speaking of which, Vendatier is indeed a humanoid monster...... Although it is a bit difficult to describe a beautiful lady in this word, I really can't find a better word...... Probably Wendy had greeted her in advance, and Vendatier didn't use her stabbing fencing skills when dealing with the Three Prophets' men this time, but instead slashed her horseback with a wide open and closed horseback - she held two long knives in both hands, and everywhere she passed was the corpses of the first two pieces!

Some people say that when the knife is extremely fast, you can only see the moonlight like a match. But in reality, that may not be fast enough...... The fastest knife can't see any sword light at all, not even the afterimage - it's like there's nothing in your hand!

Vendatil was like this at the moment, he couldn't see the knife in her hand at all, he could only see her rushing to the front, and the enemy around her fell all the way like blades of grass cut by a weeder.

However, Wendy's judgment when she launched the charge was actually a little wrong - the sound of horses' hooves she heard was not the large army arranged by Alina outside the village, but the griffin knights led by Leon......
