The gift given by the Lady of the Lake made Artoria once think that everything was a fantasy, but she suddenly realized it after leaving the woods in a blur.
Feeling heavy, as if something is protecting you? In other words, blessing yourself.
Her body felt relaxed like never before. A cold wind blew. She had experienced this cold wind countless times. Arturia thought she would feel the cold, but she didn't expect that her body's temperature did not change at all.
It¡¯s as if the gust of wind is absorbed by your body, and then converted into energy and sleeps in your body.
With a slight squeeze of the power between your hands, a small whirlwind will rise around you. Although this is a power that he already possesses, this is the first time he can use this power without holding a sword.
"What on earth is this?" Artoria lowered her head and looked at the palm of her hand, filled with confusion.
Thinking back on what just happened next to the lake, it was still as beautiful as a dream, but just like a dream, it was so unreal and false.
She was so beautiful that even a woman could be tempted. She gently kissed Artoria's forehead with her moist lips.
"By the name of our lake, which has been lost for thousands of years, I bless you, King Arthur, who will never be confused by the waters."
Then, after saying this, the mysterious existence disappeared
The sword in her hand also disappeared with her.
But Arturia could feel that the sword had not disappeared, it was beating with her heart at the moment.
At night, the main formation of Pullun Army Camp.
Char is worried about how to attack this fortress with its back to the ocean and its front terrain that occupies a very favorable position. At the same time, Char is also feeling uneasy and anxious. Why hasn't Artoria appeared until now?
Why didn¡¯t she show up at the meeting, as she always kept time and knew what was important?
Char cast doubtful glances at the two knights of Artoria, while Lancelot and Bedivere shook their heads in embarrassment. As a knight of the guard, he would not know the whereabouts of his master. This was a big dereliction of duty for both of them.
"Ha Sir Bedivere, please lead a hundred knights to find your master. Once you find her, bring her to me immediately! As a leader, she disappeared during a war meeting. What kind of joke is this? "Xia Ya said slightly angrily, but in fact, Xia Ya didn't care whether Artoria would attend the meeting. He was more concerned and worried about whether something happened to Artoria.
"Yes, thank you very much! King of Pulun."
In fact, Bedivere could not sit still for a long time. Being so late and not showing up was not a mistake that Arturia would make. Therefore, Bedivere was extremely anxious. After getting the approval of King Pulun, he hurriedly ran out of the camp.
Lancelot originally wanted to follow him, but in the end he received a glare from Char, which meant, "Just stay here. Even if you leave, I will go there to find someone to transfer you." Your legion?!". Lancelot, who clearly understood what Char meant, had no choice but to stay in his seat. It has to be said that Char has given absolute respect to the British Army, at least he will not be so dominant that all the power is vested in him.
Part of this is because of Arturia, but more of it is that neither Char nor the Pulun Legion likes to team up with foreigners to fight against the enemy, because they completely look down on each other, whether it is equipment discipline or teamwork. The other party was simply vulnerable to the coordination of the Pu Lun army's arms. The only thing worthy of praise was the number of people.
Of course, there will be special examples, such as the Guards Heavy Shield Troops of the Saliya clan. They are the only foreign army recognized by the Pulun military.
When Bedivere left the military camp, Char felt at ease because he was a trustworthy person who went to look for Artoria.
"Let's get down to business." Xia Ya held a long whip and pointed at several crude models placed on the conference table.
The table is covered with nearby terrain provided by the Irish. A red square on the table represents the Centennial Blood City, and there are four blue squares next to the red square, representing the Pullen Legion.
The representative color of the British Army is white. Eh? Why white, you ask? That is of course a matter of Charia's personal taste.
In short, Xia Ya put a few red squares on the table and started to say with a serious expression: "The century-old Blood City is surrounded by lakes and is alone on the high ground! The only way to the Blood City is a stone curved bridge. It has not been repaired for many years and has become dilapidated. It cannot be advanced at the same time by large armies! In addition, there are tens of thousands of French troops guarding the castle. It is almost impossible to capture it!"
I think back then, King Uther, who swept across the British Isles, was defeated in six out of six battles, and was never able to capture this invincible fortress. And it is said that there were only more than 40,000 Irish people who were stationed inside, but King Uther sent out a hundred thousand troops to attack day and night! But even so, they had to suffer defeat in the end, and they never attacked this place again for more than thirty years.
"The natural advantages of this fortress are too huge. If there are no strong enough siege weapons or trebuchets, even our Pullen Army will all hate it!" the Psalm Knight said pointedly.
Indeed, if this fortress was not connected to the ground, basically everyone would think that it was a miraculous sky fortress, not an ordinary castle on the earth.
"Since this castle has such huge advantages, why did the Irish abandon it to this day? And let alone the Irish, even the English did not further occupy this fortress after conquering the British Isles. Is it too difficult to understand?" The knight spoke under the moonlight.
Regarding this, Lancelot on the side knew a few things.
"No, it's not that we don't occupy it, but because this fortress has lost its strategic value. Not to mention the astronomical number of gold coins that would be needed to rebuild the fortress if we occupy it. Just considering the situation of the three islands, it is no longer necessary. The Irish Before the arrival of King Pulen, they suffered from starvation for many years, and their rebels did not even have decent weapons. They were no match for the English second-line army. Besides, the Hundred Years' War between England and France had already begun, and the British Isles They are all busy dealing with the strong offensive of the French Empire, and there is no way to station a large army on the island. In that case, not only will they lose the balance of power of the mainland military, but they will also fall into a passive situation." Lancelot explained to everyone .
But the above are only secondary reasons. The main reason is the internal structure of the Great Britain Empire itself: "Perhaps you guys in Pullen don't know it clearly, but within Great Britain there is a system where the power is completely controlled by the aristocracy. The two major institutions of a huge empire are mainly divided into Senators, and the royal family. What the senators are responsible for is no different from that of the Pulun nobles. But one thing is that they can intervene in military affairs, military expenses, and logistics supplies are all their responsibility. The royal family is equivalent to the twelve guardian knights. They control The power of the military, on the one hand, hates the nobles for infiltrating military tentacles, and on the other hand, they are helpless because the lifeline of the army is in the hands of the nobles."
"Then, what does this have to do with the abandonment of this natural fortress?" Yuexia and the Song Knight asked at the same time.
At this time, Xia Ya had already vaguely realized the reason and sneered. This reason was also one of the reasons why he had been restricting the rights of the nobles.
"Dirty political insider story. Let me guess, is it because the English nobles no longer want to hand over large sums of money to the army, so they use various excuses to prevent the Imperial Legion from stationing here? In the eyes of these nobles, as long as One or two soldiers' positions are insignificant What's more, all the money to repair the fortress comes from them. In their eyes, the army gathering place is worthless. While increasing the power of the royal family, they also have to invade it. Naturally, they will not be willing to benefit from their own interests." Xia Ya said coldly.
Lancelot nodded silently, what King Pullen said was absolutely correct.
English aristocrats are famously wealthy, but they are also stingy, especially in front of the army and the royal family, and they are unwilling to give any more.
But the royal family is ridiculously powerless to do this, because the nobles have become more powerful, and they can¡¯t do anything if they want. The foundation has been penetrated by them
"Forget about those disgusting things, let's first take a look at how to break this fortress. Although it is very dilapidated, don't forget the fortress that can withstand the onslaught of a hundred thousand troops with 40,000 troopsExcluding the King of Purun City back then, This is the second existence that makes my heart palpitate!" Xia Ya said.
And when he was talking about King Daopulun, everyone present could clearly see that Yuexia¡¯s expression was extremely ferocious for a moment
"Under the moon!" Xia Ya shouted in a low voice.
Slowly Yuexia suppressed the evil fire in her heart, raised her head and looked directly at Xia Ya: "I'm sorry, Wang. I'm rude"Waving his hand, Xia Ya said that he didn't care.
Others were also careless. Only Lancelot touched his chin and showed a very interested expression.
"That guy over there, stroking his chin and charging at the capable guy! Don't look at others, I'm talking about you!" For some reason, Char just doesn't like Lancelot. Whenever he gets a chance, his mind is full of thinking about how to defeat him. The thought of being killed without a sound.
Lancelot stared, looking helplessly at King Pulun who was deliberately causing trouble for him. He didn¡¯t understand where he had provoked him
"You seem to have done some research on this castle. Tell me, how can this fortress be captured? And preferably with minimal damage."
Lancelot showed a bitter expression. If he knew that he would still be sitting here in a meeting?
However, since the question has been asked, no matter whether it is for Great Britain or Artoris, there must be no embarrassment.
"Dear King Pulun, this is just my humble opinion. Please forgive me if there are any shortcomings." Lancelot praised Xia Ya very politely.
Nodding, Xia Ya said it was okay.
Lancelot stood up from his seat, walked to the red square representing the century-old city of blood, and tapped it lightly with the hilt of his sword.
"King Pulun, this fortress is surrounded by lakes and is not suitable for attacking from all sides, and the only passage is like a line of sky. If all the troops are sent It will be okay if the opponent does not have long-range attacks. If there is, If so, it may be like how the Pu Lun Army destroyed their opponents a few days ago, but this time the ones being destroyed are us."
Xia Ya raised his head slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes: "Pulun Legion will never be afraid of war, and will never reveal its backside to the enemy. Continue to talk I will do everything."
¡¡¡¡
Lancelot looked at Char, his eyes filled with surprise. He is really quite confident and domineering King of Pulun.
"Ahem, so in this case, and facing this miraculous fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are only two methods we can use."
Both the Moon Knight and the Psalm Knight showed expressions of listening attentively, and Char also tilted his body, supporting his head with one hand and sitting in his position to listen.
"First one: we fly in directly from the sky!"
Yuexia and Shengge¡¯s eyelids twitched together
"What about the second one?" Xia Ya also twitched the corner of her mouth and asked.
"The second one?" Lancelot looked at everyone present, and then continued with some embarrassment.
"The second one we killed him directly from the lake Ahhh! Don't mess around, everyone!!"
The moment Lancelot said the second method, Yuexia and the Song Knight pounced on him.
Xia Ya ignored the bloody incident that happened in front of him and pretended not to care at all about this violent incident that might cause disputes between the two countries
It¡¯s just that Lancelot¡¯s words aroused some thoughts in Char.
"Running across the lake? Regarding thisit seems that there is indeed someone who can do it."
