In the morning after dawn, the bright sunlight reflected the water vapor that had not yet dissipated, and the slight waves on the Kwen River made the aquatic plants sway gently. An army marched towards the Charles family's castle - well-armed cavalry, but also a handful of infantry armed with large kite-shaped shields and long swords and spears. They didn't carry much wagons or bags, just a few necessary things that looked dusty.

The only thing that could prove their identity was the banner that flew high - the black cross on a white background of the Elfwan family was also covered in dust, but it was still recognizable.

Sir Ludwig, who had been riding his horse all the way, led him to urgently summon from Laria, and the knights and soldiers who had been in charge of guarding the castle rushed to the castle as quickly as possible. At the forefront of the group, the normally unfazed Ludwig showed signs of fatigue for the first time - although he was still fighting his spirits and holding his head high, his slightly gloomy face still showed his mental state, and the fact that there were a few more visible blood stains on his otherwise clean burqa proved that the trip was not just a rapid march.

The castle of the Charles family has long since opened its gates, waiting for the arrival of the knight. Dressed in red, Mehemus stood at the city gate to welcome the powerful foreign aider, and the very friendly Haode extended his right hand: "Welcome to join us, Honorable Sir Ludwig Achart." ”

"You must be the general Mesimus!" Ludwig maintained considerable etiquette despite his exhaustion, turned over and dismounted, slightly bent down to hold Mesimus's right hand, and smiled on his face: "I have heard the honorable Lord Julian mention your name many times - the best general in Rome!"

"I prefer to believe that it was just Caesar's praise. Mehemus humbly bowed his head slightly: "You came in time, we are quite short of troops, and we need more well-trained troops!"

"I'm very sorry, but allow me to interrupt the conversation between the two of you. Lord Charles on the side walked over a little nervously and looked into Ludwig's eyes: "Honorable Sir Ahart." How many troops did you bring with you?"

"A hundred elite cavalry, and a thousand infantry, time is urgent, and we are not fully prepared. Ludwig said calmly: "In order to be able to come as fast as possible, we did not even bring much dry rations, and we were on the road at full speed almost every day - if we could, let the soldiers go and rest first." ”

"Did you run into an enemy on the way here?" Mehemus decided to change the subject, pointing to the blood stain on Ludwig's body, "I hope there aren't too many casualties." ”

"On the contrary, honorable General Mehemus. Ludwig shook his head: "Master Theodore Julian is right, there is indeed an orc tribe heading north. There were also quite a few wanderers - we had been attacked by a surprise attack when we first set out from the castle, but luckily we were able to leave the garrison, and the castle garrison sent reinforcements in time. ”

"Enemy...... Is it really a lot?" Charles's face turned a little ugly: "I mean, they're really ...... To the Kwyn River?"

"I don't know, we've only got a bunch of wanderers...... Poorly equipped, but more brutal. Ludwig muttered, "A wise suggestion - don't wait any longer for reinforcements from Salion, for the enemy is already coming this way, and it may not be long before we can find them on your castle towers!"

Charles opened his mouth and wanted to say something. only to find that he had nothing to say. He nodded, rubbed his hands back and forth, and turned to invite Ludwig in.

"Lord Charles! Lord Charles!" a distant sound of horses' hooves and shouts interrupted Charles, and a knight with a spear with a swallowtail flag hurried towards him. A short distance from the city gate stopped the horse beneath him, and it was evident that he was in great urgency.

"All the great men of the Kwyn River have arrived—all of them, hordes of knights carrying their banners!" said the knight with some disbelief, "not one of them has fallen!"

"It seems that you have come by such a coincidence, that all the adults of the Kwyn River have arrived. Sir Ahart. Charles smiled reluctantly: "Please let your soldiers rest in the castle." We will have the servants prepare clean rooms, as well as bread and hot soup to entertain them. ”

"That couldn't be better. With that, Ludwig beckoned to the knights behind him. The exhausted Larian soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and entered the castle, which looked a little small, with a little joy.

Lord Charles silently turned away, and only Mesimus and Ludwig, along with a few guards, stood under the gates, watching the soldiers enter in droves.

"Thank you for your help. Mehemus whispered, "I'm sure they've recognized the seriousness of the problem." ”

"Where, where, go down to a butler, just carry out the master's orders. Ludwig smiled and bowed his head slightly: "Everything is according to the orders of the Emperor Bixia!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"It can't be! Even if you say it again, I can't agree to it!"

In the camp, Theodore, with an excited expression, looked straight at Helena, who was quietly in front of him, as if he was just asking his own questions, and his voice was as loud as if he was arguing: "Do you know how dangerous the Kwyn River is now?!

Theodor roared with a sinking face, he couldn't understand that Helena Weishenme suddenly wanted to go to the Kwyn River, and she was still a jiashi who was about to leave.

According to the information obtained by Theodore, the orc tribes marching from the east would not be fewer than those from the west, and there could even be more. But how many enemies could an army withstand? a thousand Roman veterans, and those militia units that had been hastily drafted to meet them?

For Mesimus, Theodore trusted him 100 percent to get the job done. But even so, he stubbornly believes that Helena is safest only by her own side - an unwavering way of thinking. Because of this, even though it was clear that Helena would be able to demoralize those who still had a longing for her if she could go to the Kwyn River instead of her, and make the Kwyn River Lords obedient, Theodore still chose the riskier way rather than letting Helena go.

"You've always been like that, Theodore. Helena smiled. Shrugged her shoulders a little helplessly: "Always so stubborn, and won't express himself - exactly the same as my brother, of course, you are slightly better than him!" Speaking of this, Helena also playfully stretched out her right hand, putting her thumb and index finger together, indicating that "a little".

"Perhaps, please forgive me if I was being rude - of course I don't have any other thoughts. Theodore turned around, took a glass of wine in a sullen voice, and drank it: "But you must not leave, I need you Helena." The soldiers need you too. As long as you're there, every soldier will fight for their goddess!"

"No, they don't need me. Helena's voice was soft, and she stepped forward slowly, her arms around Theodore's neck from behind, her pink face pressed against him. Helena clearly felt Theodore's body stiffen for a moment, and the smile on her face was even worse, but she still spoke softly: "They already have a new human emperor, a human emperor worthy of their allegiance, by their side." ”

"I ...... I'm scared. Don't leave me Helena......" Theodore trembled and grabbed the soft little hand on his neck, his mouth was a little dry, and his eyes didn't even dare to roll again: "It's too dangerous...... I can't let you ......."

"I'm not asking you, my Emperor Bixia. Helena's voice became a little solemn: "Aren't we in charge of the Radiant Cross together? I also have the blood of my ancestors in my body!"

"Artoria can disguise herself as a man for the sake of her lover Aragorn, and I can also ride a war horse and wield a sword for the sake of my human emperor Bixia!" Helena took Theodore's hands and turned around, craned her neck and looked at him stubbornly: "I am not a young lady who always needs to be protected, and every descendant of the Pendragon family has the consciousness and preparation of the bloody battlefield!"

"You call me stubborn. But it seems like you're pretty stubborn too...... And quite heartlessly, you know how much I don't want to see you hurt - even a little tetanus can kill you Helena. Theodore smiled wryly: "Don't you think about it?"

"I've made a plan for zuihou. Helena blinked, "You've always made me worry about you, but this time we're going to pray for each other." Theodore. ”

"Well, my esteemed Princess Pendragon!" Theodore glared at her through gritted teeth, and then shouted outside the tent, "Valens!"

"Summoned by you, my Caesar. The stereotyped Captain of the Valence Guard walked in, his right hand clenched into a fist pressed against his chest, as if it were a military statue.

"Join fifty knights of the Imperial Guard and follow Her Highness Helena Pendragon to Salion, and in the name of the bearer of the Radiant Cross, make Salion's reinforcements obey all her orders. Theodore said in a deep voice with a serious face: "I want you to protect her from any harm as you protect me, and use your liliang to bring your honor, if His Highness Pendragon wants to charge ...... himself"

"We are her sword and shield - just as we are yours. Valence bowed his head stiffly: "In the name of Mars, no one can hurt His Highness Pendragon!" (To be continued......
