8. The goblins in the Lake of Enchantment
"Thanks, then you can rest for a while. ”
After listening to the report of the success of the "spy", Galahad nodded and sent her away, and the spy sent out came back unharmed, and she was very relieved that she had not been discovered, because even if she only knew the configuration of one side, the configuration of the other party could be obtained. It's just that most of the time something happened to him, and the other spy didn't come back until the third day.
This was beyond the agreed time limit, but in any case, it was particularly chivalrous to abandon his companions, so Galahad decided to keep waiting.
"I didn't expect that trio to really get together, and it's a bit tricky now. Galahad muttered, maybe it was done on purpose, or was the staffing really random?
Galahad, who had always thought that Percival and Tristan should be separated, could only sigh and accept the information from the spy. At this time, the actual combat power of Ranmaroke's group is far more than three knights of the round table with forty knights.
Of course, the battlefield relies on soldiers to fight, but the "general" who can affect the battlefield is the key to deciding the victory.
"What do you think, Bedwell?"
“zzz......”
"Wake up, is it still time to go to bed?"
"Huh, it's dawn?"
yes, it's getting dark.
"Forget it, Gareth, what kind of probe you are talking about, are you ready?"
After giving up arguing with Bedwell, Galahad came to Gareth's side, and sometimes, among a group of knights who could only wield knives and guns, there was a sorcerer's cunzài. It's a blessing really.
And. The magic used by Gareth. It seems to be different from ordinary, fireballs and the like, if anything, it's more like magic prepared for war.
"It doesn't matter, the upper limit of detection is fifty, and there are enough to detect it now. ”
Gareth's silver sword was glowing with blinding light, and if she remembered correctly, she had been holding it before. The serpentine sword, which looks like it will break if it breaks, fights with someone else.
It's obviously a spell caster, and she's really not afraid of playing it off.
“...... Forty-three points of reaction were detected, and the rebels' position was detected, but ...... The position of the regular army, but only forty-one reactions...... Strange, why is there one less?"
Because Galahad sent a spy to each side, if you simply look at the number of people, the other two sides should be forty-three, and his own twenty-one, in the case of a spy returning today. The side where the spy had stayed should have lost one less because of the spioner's departure, that is, forty-two. But now...... But there is one less.
The possibility of attrition without cause. Judging from the early stage of the current battle, there is only one.
"Quick, Gareth, search all the areas allowed by the battle and see if there are any suspicious people in existence. ”
“...... Can't do it, do you use my magic as a navigator?"
Gareth shook his head, "This time, it's because we know the exact location of the other two parties, so it can take a day to detect, if you look for it aimlessly, it's better to come by yourself." ”
"Let's go, then. ”
Even Galahad did not hold back his doubts, which may be explained by the feelings of people with the same personality.
Ranmaroke, who is also calm and composed, sometimes thinks the same as himself.
"Bale, you stay here to look after the house, I'll go with Gareth, two of us to investigate, this time I won't bring knights, otherwise there will be more people and it will be easy to be violent, and I also want to minimize the chance of attrition for no reason. ”
If he was Ranmarok, the spy he sent should definitely not be alone, although the "robbers" are at a disadvantage at the moment, but there is also a need to send spies, and there is no reason to send only the "regular army".
However, judging from the number of people in Ranmarokna, only one was dispatched, why?
......
"You mean really?"
Lancelot still had suspicion on his face, because in any case, judging an enemy by air sounded a bit ridiculous.
Not long ago, Tristan hurried over and said that there must be someone in a hidden place not far away. As for the reason, Tristan gave the answer.
"It's because the air doesn't smell right. Tristan explained, "It's a nature that grew up, so I'm telling the truth. ”
"Wouldn't it be an animal?"
Gawain shook out slowly, maybe it was Lancelot's illusion, he always felt that in this kind of noon when he felt hot when he stood up, Gawain became more and more radiant, and his blonde hair looked a little dazzling in the sunlight.
"We're not a desert here, so wouldn't it be better to take the animals into account?"
“...... So I can't be wrong, I can still tell the difference between animals and people, otherwise I would have been squatting in prison by now. ”
Tristan unexpectedly looked very motivated, "Anyway, I want to give it a try, and it's useless to carry it here anyway." ”
"Then I'll go too, such a beautiful sun, it's too inelegant not to move. The knight didn't bring it, because it was just to take a look, and I think that if it was an enemy who came to the decisive battle, he would have rushed over with great momentum. ”
"I'm in charge of staying behind, anyway, please be careful. Lancelot wasn't unhappy with the boring job, and she wanted everyone to be confined to the camp if she could.
After all, the camp is already filled with spies, and a rash attack will only allow the spies to seize the opportunity to escape back to inform, in which case, the so-called attack is meaningless.
Offense is indeed the best defense, but if you can't break through the opponent's defense, it's just a waste of body.
Although it's not good to say it from my own mouth, my two partners are really not very reassuring, one ...... Too arrogant? The other is a little too ordinary. But their action is so strong.
A rare break, let's go for a spin.
Thinking like this, Lancelot left in the opposite direction of Gawain and Tristan's operation, and the actual battle site was clear to him, because there seemed to be a legend circulating here.
No, maybe it's not a legend to me, because I did see the witch that everyone in the church had talked about. Merlin lives in the Enchanted Lake.
The Enchanted Lake seems to be just a name that looks like "magic", in fact, there are already many people who think that they can get magic by drinking the lake, and run to the lake to sip, of course, the result is nothing but diarrhea for three days. On top of this, the church is probably trying to keep the believers from committing two more crimes, and has built the legend of a powerful witch guarding the lake.
"Whoever is not recognized by a witch will have nothing even if he drinks the water of the lake. ”
"Where's the witch?" hehe, if I knew, would I have time to tell you?"
That's right, the Enchanted Lake, the witch Merlin in the lake, seems to the people of the church to be just a legend, but ......
"Merlin. ”
After making sure that there was no one around, Lancelot sat down on the rocks by the lake and called softly to the center of the lake.
If the next scene hadn't happened, it might have been just a fine secondary girl, but in the seconds after Lancelot called, the center of the lake began to gather and abandon the whirlpool.
The turquoise waters of the lake began to converge in one place, and like a girl who had just come out of the bath, Merlin, the girl rumored to be a witch, emerged from the center of the lake. In fact, the rumors are nonsense at all, because what kind of witch is such a Merlin?
There is no such noble witch, whether it is from her thin, soaked white dress, or the wet blue hair that clings to her cheeks, this should be called a fairy, right?
The fairy of the Enchanted Lake, Merlin. Well, let's end the fantasy, because soon Merlin is about to speak.
"Finally have time to see my mother!?"
That's right, the fairy, the fairy of the Enchanted Lake, is digging her nostrils and squinting her eyes to show her dissatisfaction, "I'm really a dog, how did I think of giving you the lake water to drink, and I ended up catching a negative person." ”
Please, fairy, a little bit of grace, okay...... It's because of you that I don't dare to introduce you to more friends.
No one would believe that a female sling is actually a fairy in the Enchanted Lake.
"Because I was hindered by the selection of the 'Knights of the Round Table'. ”
Lancelot replied honestly.
You don't have to think about it to know that in this magical lake where no one comes and goes, the only fairy in the lake, the only goblin, must be lonely.
How long had she been living here? Until I met her.
"If I didn't have time to come over today, I wouldn't have had time to come. ”
"Knights of the Round Table?
Merlin "swam" to the lake, but her range of action was limited to that, because she couldn't get ashore, she was just a fairy in the Enchanted Lake.
"How can young people nowadays try to get some formalism...... Hey, it must be the church's fault. ”
"No, the knights who have been selected are really strong. Laslot shook his head, "Sometimes, I feel like I'm ......"
"What are you talking about, you are a person who has fought with the old lady, and you don't look at the old lady's strengthening technology, but even Lilith couldn't compare to it back then......"
After a long series of sermons, Merlin suddenly fell silent, "What you lack now is a weapon that is strong enough to withstand power, except for the treasure, ordinary swords and branches are really the same to you, but don't worry, the old lady is already helping you find a way." ”
“...... Thanks"
"Ahh Merlin looked away, "After all, you're mine...... The first friend. (To be continued......)
