1. Knights of the Round Table
The war has already begun, although it is not yet fully prepared.
Mia's vitality is very damaged, so it will definitely take time to recover during this period of time, but she also needs time to arrange. First of all, it is enough to accommodate all the Villadians, and send them to the human realm.
The passage connecting the two realms has long been closed, and instead of trying to teleport back and forth again and again, it is better to spend some time and energy to break it directly. In that case, not only the vampire people, but also the demons would be able to travel freely between the two realms at that time.
After all, Mia is not the only enemy of her own. Now, he is still an enemy of Anne. Speaking of which, at this time, how is her body? Has the wound healed well, did that guy Ashmar do anything strange to her?
"Sister, it's already here. ”
Villard's voice pulled Lilith back to reality, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost.
Yes, there is no point in thinking about it now, since he was already Anne's enemy after that witch's night, although, so far, he has not received any wanted notices about himself. On the contrary, the conquest orders of Villard, Loki and Yu are already flying all over the empire.
Anne chose to be her enemy, but she also chose to protect herself. It's really Sister Anne, it's because of your gentleness that I make my heart ache every time I see you.
The sudden loss of nature caused him to retreat for a moment, and ordered Verard to lift the night that would have been permeating forever. The Emperor to the east also stopped his offensive and turned to a port city to rest, and Arya to the north was a calm and intelligent man. I've helped her capture a corner of the fortress, so she doesn't have to worry about anything else. At this time, there is already a bone dragon entrenched in the Dragon Island, which is a masterpiece of You, but this time, he is also going to face one of the few dragons, with Ashmol, I believe that Geraint will be fine.
So. The only gap left from the formation of this encirclement is the church in the west. Although this is also the most troublesome place. If you don't reveal your identity, and at the same time tell Dolana Loki about their survival, you can't save the already defeated people on your own. Knights who have no fighting spirit.
Hopefully, Dorana can learn something after this series of defeats, she still hides the fact that the Pope has long since died, and at the same time, she has to take care of internal affairs and war, even if she is really a steel body, she will feel tired.
“...... Dorana, it's been a long time, are you okay?"
Lilith asked Dorana, who was resting alone in her chair, "I've come to see you." ”
In the last meeting. Dorana seemed to be helpless to express her tiredness, but unfortunately, it seemed that time did not give her a chance to relax. When we met again, she was already a lot haggard. The parched lips are constantly opening and closing, replenishing the nourishment called "air". His limbs stretched out at will, revealing the smell of fatigue.
It is true that her body does not feel pain, but mental fatigue is inevitable. with the former chief. It is an extremely torturous thing for a former subordinate to be an enemy.
"Ahh Lilith. ”
Tired of propping up, Dorana's gaze quickly rested on Verard's body, "It seems that the guards are so scarce that even vampires can't detect them. ”
"Are there not enough people?"
Although she was reluctant to talk about such boring things when they first met, Lilith couldn't help but ask, "Fight...... How much did you lose?"
"It's not combat attrition...... But...... Ay. ”
Dorana smiled self-deprecatingly, "The knights have long been out of the will to fight, plus the Pope has not shown up for a long time, and the saint has not moved, so many of them have gone to Alicia overnight." Now to say that the Pope is not there is already the opposite effect. ”
“...... What about the saints? The traitor ......"
"Killed. ”
For the first time, Lilith saw in Dorana's eyes something that didn't belong to her, to what she called "justice." Dorana didn't show a trace of regret, "I don't have any extra manpower, so I went to take care of another mole, so I killed it." Probably the same as the Knight Chief said, the church is going to be ruined. ”
"Don't say that, didn't I come?"
She winked at Verard, and after waiting for Verard to set up a qiē and make sure that no one would eavesdrop, Lilith slowly spoke, "Now, wood, you want to protect your church, albeit in the opposite way to Alicia." ”
“......”
"Harmony is often extremely incomparably superior, and Dorana, sometimes in order to win, can really ignore some means. ”
"I know...... I know that I've been waiting for you to come. Dorana propped herself up, her soft armor covered in dust and scratches pressed against her.
How much Dorana carried, and what kind of despair and helplessness would make her choose such a compromise, these are all things that Lilith does not know. However, it is not good to be overly probing into other people's thoughts.
That's not comfort.
"If you can, I really don't want to be in the company of the creatures of the Demon Realm, but for the sake of the church, it's not so difficult to bear this kind of thing like betrayal. Lilith, help me to repel Alicia, on the other hand, after this, I am willing to give up the honor of knighthood, leave the church, and assist in what you see in your ambitions. ”
......
That's right, that's good, although the light is desirable, but if you stand under the bright light all the time, you will be stabbed in the eye.
......
"So...... Let's rest. ”
After a brief star, Lilith laughed, "I promise Alicia won't make any moves during this time, so how about doing something interesting while resting?"
"What do you mean. ”
"That's literal. Dorana, you're still too stupid, sometimes, you want to find a good assistant. It's not as difficult as you think, Wood Man. ”
......
Depressed shop, depressed business, depressed customers. The owner looked at the store that was about to close, and in the end, the helplessness of not making ends meet prevailed over the nostalgia for the store, so she decided to move out tomorrow. Go to a peaceful place to retire.
It's too dangerous, it's too depressing. The rebellious knights outside were ready to move, but neither the Pope nor the Holy Maiden made a statement. What will be the fate of the church?
The shopkeeper looked at the only customer in the store, and she was helpless. This guest is not a man yet.
A woman, in her twenties, was enough to show off her bewitching body as athletic as a warrior woman. She tied up her long water-colored hair, and though the shopkeeper thought that the blue hair would make her look more beautiful and holy, she was silently sipping the clear liquid from the quilt alone, even though the shopkeeper who had poured her a glass himself knew that it was not wine, but real, unquestionable plain water.
On the table was her sword. In keeping with her temperament, a gorgeous sword with an old scabbard but exquisite workmanship. It waited there silently, waiting for the moment when her master actually pulled it out, and it would probably be a light that no one could look at directly.
But......
"Strange woman. The shopkeeper muttered, though soon her face began to weep.
Because the biggest ruffian and violent woman in the city is here.
"Oh ha! Finally found you for me, Galahad. ”
A "flame" rushed in, that's right, flames. Her long flaming red hair exuded a heroic "fire" that even men don't necessarily have, the opposite of the woman who was sipping water.
If a woman is "water". Then the guy who rushed in was "fire". She is the biggest "hooligan" in the city - Bedwell. She often drank on credit, but it was rare for her to fill the hole.
Someone had asked her for trouble, but without exception they were all beaten to the ground by this "fire" woman, ten, twenty, and it seemed that more people faced her, and it was just a matter of a few more moves for her.
But her heart and eyes are unexpectedly not bad, yes, just like "fire", the reason why she has no money, the shopkeeper has seen it by chance. She seems to have given the money she earned from her work to many orphans. After that, the shopkeeper had no more complaints about her credit.
But...... I've been taking too much credit lately, and this guy can drink more than a man.
"Hey, Galahad, are you listening!
"Fire" roared at "water", but ......
It is a theorem of nature that water can extinguish fires.
"I'm not in the mood today, so I'm going to make sandbags by myself. ”
Galahad coped impatiently, "With such energy, you might as well join the Knights." ”
"Oh!
Bedwell exclaimed, "I used to go in and come back with too little pay, but this time it's different, look what this is!
"I'm annoyed, it's not that...... Huh?"
Galahad's gaze, which had been just to deal with it, quickly stopped on this announcement, because he was so concerned that the shopkeeper also leaned over.
"Hey boss, don't you get beaten up with your old body!?"
"What an old body! I'm also a retired knight, okay! Besides, if you want to pay on credit again, I'll let my daughter teach you a lesson." ”
Originally, it was just the shopkeeper blurting out angry words, but unexpectedly, Bedwell was unexpectedly excited: "Oh, I know, your Lancelot is really good at fighting, I have settled this account on credit." ”
"You ......"
"Please be quiet. ”
Galahad coldly interrupted a meaningless argument between an old man and a young man, "Bell, when did this happen?"
"Just today, I grabbed one just after sending it down, and many people have already signed up, ah, it's so cool, I think of meeting a lot of strong people who I don't usually see. I didn't expect you to have a hobby in this area, so I'll just say that the two of us are about the same. ”
"Who would be like you for that childish reason. ”
Galahad grumbled under his breath. The content on the paper is very simple, because of foreign enemies, for the sake of honor and the survival of the church, more than a dozen knights with leadership ability and martial arts or magic skills must be selected.
These knights will go through a strict assessment, and of course, their identity is naturally an ordinary paladin. Captain Dolana referred to them as the "Knights of the Round Table". The implication is probably that these knights are protected around the church.
It is true that the church is too weak these days, but today there seem to be signs of a resurgence. Honor, defending the country, it is estimated that with these goals, there will be many aspirants, or defenders who love the church, to sign up.
"It's good that the church didn't let me down. ”
"Hey Galahad, you don't need that thing to sign up, are you going to roll up and be a baby?"
"Hey...... You...... Never mind. ”
Galahad didn't want to explain anything to Bedwell, who only knew how to fight the strong everywhere, because it involved family reasons, and she wanted to sign up, most of which needed the consent of her parents, and this was an important piece of evidence.
Galahad carefully rolled up the briefing, "Bedwell, you are trying to pull me there, this time your provocation, I Galahad took it!"
(Yes, that's right, there are a lot of new characters coming out of this volume, of course, all of them are the Knights of the Round Table in the story, and I'll make a slight change, but at the moment Galahad and Bedwell have appeared, and Lancelot has also mentioned it.) Don't worry about why it's a girl.,It means that men I'm hard.。 )
(As for the question of Arthur's character, don't rush to ask it yet, of course I know that the master of the Knights of the Round Table is Arthur, which will be written later, because Arthur is the king.) After all, the story is apocryphal, so don't worry too much about the version. (To be continued)
