Yingpu Jihad Chapter 44: Is it the king after all, not Char?

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In order to quickly support London, Char abandoned the slow-moving army and led a thousand cavalry directly to the capital of Great Britain.

    Thousands of cavalry were galloping on the grassland, and the sound of their horses' hooves was as loud as thunder.  Even the earth trembled under the hooves of Pullen's armored cavalry.

    In this era where tactics and strategies are still relatively backward, having an excellent cavalry unit is undoubtedly a very fortunate thing.  However, because training a knight is extremely labor-intensive and time-consuming, there are not many cavalry troops in various countries, and it can even be said to be relatively rare.  In addition to the high maintenance costs, it is more due to the scarcity of knights and the supply of horses.

    It takes at least five to ten years to train a knight, and a horse requires at least thirty gold coins to purchase in batches.  Therefore, although various countries are determined to form huge cavalry regiments to sweep across the world, in the face of the astronomical formation costs, even super empires such as the Roman Empire, the French Empire, and the Russian Empire only have a few relatively large cavalry troops.

    As for the three nations and one empire on the British Isles.  Ireland, a nation that had been enslaved by the English for decades, could not possibly have a strong army.  In other words, it is a miracle that they can form an army.  The Scots are an extremely tenacious and aggressive nation, and this is the birthplace of the super-pike troops now used by various countries.  Moreover, the Scots are good at foot combat and hand-to-hand combat, but if we talk about horseback combat or cavalry combattheir total number of cavalry is less than five hundred.  But even so, this cavalry unit of less than 500 people is one of the largest in the middle and lower reaches of the country.

    Of course, what they call cavalry is that there is a person on the horse, then this is the concept of cavalry!

    So when it comes to real combat effectiveness, the Pullen Cavalry is basically stress-free in one versus three.

    The British Empire has never been known for its cavalry, and the number of cavalry in the legions is not large, and most of them are patrol cavalry and cannot be counted as regular cavalry.

    Not to mention, compared to the heavily armored knights of the King of Pren, who were almost armed to the teeth, the cavalry of the British Empire and other tribes of the British Isles can only be regarded as a group of beggar cavalry.

    Excellent armor, sharp weapons, majestic horses, and glorious battle flags.

    Only by forming the above four elements can it be regarded as a real cavalry unit, or a knighthood.

    And in the entire world, the only one that can truly meet these four standards is King Pulun City, which is the only pocket country that can form the strongest knights.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Drive!!¡±

    Waving their whips, a thousand cavalrymen rushing towards London kept calling on the grassland.

    Because five days have passed, no one can confirm the current situation in London.  At this moment, there is no other choice but to rush on.

    Looking back, I saw those majestic knights wearing heavy armor and holding two-meter giant guns.  They wore face-covering helmets, with a white feather swaying in the wind on their heads, and their white capes swelled wildly during the charge.  Several people formed a group, and thousands of people formed a long heavy armored torrent.  Just imagine the scene of these cavalry launching a collective charge while shouting honor and victory.

    Even Bedivere felt his heart tremble

    Such a large order of knights has never been encountered since the British Empire in its heyday.

    ¡°And the knights of that era were not as aggressive as the knights of King Pulun City.

    ¡°I really feel sad for those who have become the enemies of such a monster and powerful knight, so it is also worth celebrating at this moment, because their enemy is not Great Britain

    And all of this is because of the adult in front of him.  It was precisely because of her that King Pulun sent out such an elite army to rescue Great Britain.

    ¡°As expectedshe is our true savior.

    Bedivere¡¯s expression remained unchanged, but his heart was actually going up and down at the thought.

    Ahead, Arturia rode her horse and ran side by side with Char.  Her beautiful blond hair was shining brightly in the sunlight, even though she was obviously frowning as if she was worried about something.  But even so, no one can ignore the beauty of this moment.

    Although, her identity at the moment is "him".

    "Char" Arturia suddenly called out Char's name, looking like he was hesitating to speak.

    "What's wrong?" Char turned his head and asked, but because the horse under him was running too fast, he couldn't look at Artoria normally.  Pulling the horse's rein hard, together with more than a thousand knights behind XiayaThe speed was lowered in a tacit understanding at the same time, keeping the original fast sprint at a normal running rhythm.

    "Altocough! Artoris, can I ask you a favor?" Char really didn't like calling Artoria Artoris, which made him feel like he was being deceived.  However, in the face of Arturia's insistence, and because she could not completely convince her subordinates because she was a woman, Char had no choice but to endure the discomfort of calling her an extremely masculine name.

    Arturia frowned, looking at Char's handsome and young face in distress.

    "Charis it really okay to do this? That knight seems to be very angry."

    Char knew that Artoria was referring to Yania, and of course she also understood what Artorya was talking about.

    "Really Artoris, is this why you look at me with a worried expression?" Char asked.

    Arturia nodded silently, she understood very well.  How bad the mood of the female knight was before she left. Looking at her no, it should be said that the eyes of all the Great Breton soldiers looked so unkind.  It was an extremely depressing look full of anger and inability to take action, and because he was too worried but did not dare to disobey the king's order, he could only suppress the cold aura full of his own nature.

    The anger of the knight under the moon is genuine. From the moment she appeared, she has never been separated from the king, and she cannot forgive any reason to let the king leave her sight.

    This is not surveillance or domineering, just a simple desire to protect.

    But it was precisely because of this heavy and persistent mood that the Knight under the Moon temporarily lost his former composure.

    "The twelve guardian knights are absolutely loyal guards who will never betray the king and protect the kingXia Ya, you told me this once. But now, you have taken the initiative to leave the guardian knights. This  Is this decision really just made because of the need to rescue London?" Arturia closed her eyes gently, then slowly opened them and looked at Char and said.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? !  !

    suddenly!  Char held the reins tightly and stopped the horse. The knights behind him also skillfully controlled their second-life horses and followed Char to stop.

    Looking at the knights behind him, Chara gestured to her knights with her eyes.

    "King!" The knights hammered their chest armor hard and scattered around, leaving the distance where they could hear the conversation between the two.

    Arturia was slightly startled when she saw this scene, but then she understood.  In the same way, she also gestured to her soldiers, Lancelot and Bedivere. In the eyes of many unclear and confused eyes, Arturia followed Char and walked forward on horseback.

    "Bedivere us?" Lancelot looked towards Bedivere.

    I saw Bedivere shaking his head slightly and waving his hand to signal Lancelot to stay where he was and calm down.

    After leaving a hundred meters away, Xia Ya stopped.

    Turning to Artoria behind him, he said: "Continue the topic just now, Artoria"

    "Do you think I don't really want to save London?" Char let go of the horse rope in his hand, jumped off the horse, walked to Artoria and continued: "Do you think, as the king of a country, I  , it¡¯s incomprehensible that you want to rush to London quickly even if you give up the protection of a close knight, right?¡±

    Arturia nodded seriously.

    "Indeed, although I am very grateful to Xia Ya and I also like everything Xia Ya has done. But that I understand one thing clearly."

    "What?"

    "Char, whenever and wherever you talk about Great Britain, you always decide your actions as a king, with a king's thinking mode, and with a king's behavior. It is not like this now you are just talking about equality.  So tell me, Charwhy are you so eager to rush to London? What is there that attracts your attention so much?"

    Arturia was very keenly aware of the trace of eagerness and anxiety that Char was hiding in this almost unreasonable behavior.

    At this time, Char narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his finger and slowly stretched it to Artoria's forehead, and then tapped it gently.

    "Have you noticed? Just right, then it's up to you to guess my reason?"

    Well, Artoria, who was hit on the forehead, blushed, and Char was enjoying this scene happily.

    ¡°Well¡ªthis kind of behavior is not what a king should do.¡±??Made!  " Arturia protested.

    "Humph, the behavior that is not normal is king." Xia Ya very unkindly used fallacies to justify the fact that he took advantage of others.

    Arturia feels helpless sometimes. Why can't Char always maintain the cold expression in front of her that she always maintains in front of outsiders?

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­After thinking about it for a while.

    "Now the sun is setting on Great Britain. Although I don't want to admit it, in fact, there is an atmosphere of despair in the hearts of the people and the army." Arturia stared into the distance with a very serious and calm gaze.  The most dazzling sunlight at noon shone on her delicate body.  : "The news that London is under siege has probably been obtained by all the towns in the southern peninsula at this moment. Those generals and soldiers are likely to go to support, but it is more likely to protect themselves wisely. After all, even if the army dares to besiege London,  They are in the minority, but they are also the absolute elite.¡±

    "At this moment, under the background of the end of the empire, those nobles who have even a little bit of ambition or are dissatisfied with Great Britain are probably not willing to waste their military and financial resources to support it." When he said this,  Arturia lowered her head with a disappointed expression.  I don't know whether she was disappointed with the dirty nobles, or the generals and soldiers who had clearly sworn to defend their homeland to the death.

    "The hearts of the people are full of despair, and the soldiers dare not rush to the battlefield without the leadership of a general. London is besieged, and the pride of Great Britain is at stake If once the city is broken, it is conceivable that there will be another hundreds of years of war.  Sweeping the entire British Isles. For power, for honor, and for those defeated soldiers who are unwilling to give up their past glory. In addition, the French are watching behind them. Once the war breaks out, it will only reduce the pressure for them to plunder wealth. After all  How can a group of troops that are patchwork together face the regular French army that looks like tigers and wolves?"

    Xia Ya nodded slightly.  Indeed, what Artoria said is correct, because this is human nature and one of the inevitable results of the drive of the incomparably sacred human desires.

    Arturia is indeed growing.

    "However, the above premise is that the city of London is captured. But if before London is captured, there is a person no, or a leader, no matter who the leader is! As long as he can suddenly appear and save London, then  He is the savior of the entire Great Britain, the heroic man who prevented the beginning of war for a hundred years in the future! No matter what status or identity he had before, he will be grateful to the entire Great Britain Empire!"

    Arturia slowly lowered her head, looked at Char standing under the horse and said.

    "Charwere you planning to be that person from the beginning? Using the title of being the hero who saved the British Empire, you took the opportunity to win over the nobles and erode Great Britain from the inside? After all, the British Empire is not interested in the general situation at this moment.  Lun is still very powerful. So rather than attacking from the outside, it would be easier to use the nobles within Great Britain to rectify it bit by bit?"

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Saving the allies is just a slogan, and fighting together is just an excuse for you, Char. Hidden beneath these Char, from the beginning of the French invasion, from the time you met me in that battle, did you  Is there such a plan?" Arturia held the horse rein in her hand tightly, and her eyes suddenly became sharp.

    "Xia Ya, youbefore you became a man, were you a king who put the country's prosperity as your top priority?"

    A strong gust of wind blew by, ruffling Xia Ya's hair and exposing his smile that had been hidden under the shadow of his hair.
