Without giving any chance to breathe, less than an hour after Pullen's reinforcements entered London, the French army outside the city launched another attack.
Climbing onto the city wall, Char, Merlin, Barona, and Artoria looked towards the French camp where the horn was playing.
The rows of neatly lined up French troops were ready to go, beating their shields and roaring to the sky. However, although the French army's horns representing war were played so loudly, their cloud echelons were not seen quickly attacking the city. They wandered back and forth beyond the range of the London garrison, neither attacking nor retreating.
Xia Ya looked at the strangely behaving French army and waved to summon an October Knight.
"King!" The burly knight standing behind him took a step forward and knocked his right shoulder hard.
Xia Ya pointed at the enemy troops a hundred meters away from the city and said, "How long does it take from the time the attack is discovered here until you report it to me?"
"King! It takes thirty-two seconds to gallop on horseback, and one minute and forty-five seconds to walk!" the October Knight responded loudly.
Xia Ya nodded in understanding and waved away the loyal October Knight.
"What's wrong? King Pulun." Merlin turned to look at Xia who looked thoughtful. The abnormal dynamics of the French army made this great sage smell the smell of conspiracy. His more than one hundred years of political career had already enriched his experience to an astonishing degree. But even so, this was the first time Merlin encountered this strange sight of blowing the trumpet but not attacking. So he subconsciously asked Char. In his subconscious, this guy who always created miraculous results should know something about this.
The corner of Xia Ya's mouth was slightly raised. The French army in front of him was playing trumpets but not attacking, encircling but not blocking. They just placed their troops in front of the formation as if they were showing off their power to stimulate Great Britain.
"It's not clear yet, but let's continue reading." Xia Ya replied.
Merlin nodded in understanding and smiled calmly: "In that case, let's continue reading"
Tsk! Faced with Merlin's answer that didn't take the bait, Char spat in displeasure.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? with using in his smile, and ? ? ? ? is unfathomable, has always been one of the things that made Xia Ya hate talking to Merlin the most.
At this time, ignore the intrigue between the two people.
Arturia was really curious about the female knight next to her who had always had a calm expression. Her posture that seemed not to be surprised no matter what happened reminded her of the knight in King Pulun's city .
"UmDrake.d.Barona.Finn.Pendragon?"
Barona turned her head and looked straight at Arturia with a pair of unwavering black eyes.
"No! It's nothing" Arturia suddenly remembered that calling the royal family by their surname was a very serious matter, and immediately changed the subject, pretending as if nothing had happened.
Barona tilted her head strangely, feeling a little surprised and amused by this girl who called her but deliberately ignored her.
"Al Artoris, right?"
Eh? Barona actually took the initiative to start a conversation with Artoria, which not only surprised Artoria slightly.
¡°Well¡ Artoria nodded.
"I, Zeng Jin, have heard of you. Three months ago, it seemed that you were the one who stopped the two powerful knights of King Pulun City in the upcoming Anglo-Prussian conflict, right?" Barona raised her hand to lift herself up. With black hair flying around her ears, she said to Artoria with a hint of a smile: "Your superior force allowed you to win the hearts of the people in that battle, and you were supported by the soldiers at that time. It's really amazing. "
Indeed, when all three armies were completely suppressed by the Guardian Knights, Artoria stepped forward and made countless soldiers respect her.
"Umthank you for the compliment." A slightly embarrassed reply. Arturia was not good at dealing with other people's pursuit, so she could only deal with it with a smile.
With a chuckle, Barona shook her head gently and stopped continuing the topic. She could see that Arturia's mind was not fully mature at the moment. Although she was the destined king of Great Britain, the only thing she could be worthy of now was her extraordinary martial power and her leadership aura that could easily gain support.
But unfortunately, her age is too young after all. After only sixteen years of growth, I have seen too little
kindness? !
Barona suddenly noticed that a line of sight had been staring at her from the beginning, and quickly turned around, just in time to see King Pulun who turned his head to avoid looking directly at her.
"The scenery in the distance is pretty good." Xia Ya looked into the distance with some concealment.Chu said.
In front of him, apart from the endless waves of enemy flags, there were only thousands of French troops.
¡°¡¡¡¡±
Squinting her eyes, Barona twitched the corner of her mouth.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªIt seems that Artoria is not the only young and immature king. And in a certain aspect, it seems that this person is even more unbearable
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Boom! Boom!
The sudden sound of war drums in the French army immediately attracted the intense attention of Merlin and Char.
"Lion's roar drum?" Merlin frowned.
"You can actually beat the war drum?!" Xia Ya said with a hint of surprise.
War drums and horns, as we all know, were used to convey messages on ancient battlefields. It first started in BC and evolved from beating animal bones in the tribal era. At its peak, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, as well as the War Drums of the Qin Dynasty, the thirty-eight rhythms are divided into thousands of combinations, which can effectively control one's own soldiers to change their formations on extremely chaotic battlefields.
However, this method of using war drums to control the formation of soldiers has not been accepted by the West. They generally still like to use low and loud trumpets to control the battle situation.
So when the Three Lions and Leopards Army actually brought out war drums or animal skin drums, it was natural for Xia Ya to be surprised.
Unfortunately, these are not the point.
The real surprise is yet to come. I saw that when the drums sounded, the rows of soldiers formed their formations, allowing the figures from behind to move towards the front. The soldiers who came out from the rear of the formation each held a rope in their hand and a bloody machete in the other hand, escorting groups of soldiers, prisoners, or ordinary civilians to the city of London.
When the crying and even frightened people were crushed below the city of London. The first thing they saw when they looked up was the city wall of their motherland that they had always relied on. Those soldiers standing on the wall were the saviors they had always thought about. So, when they burst into tears and tried to run to London on their hands and feet.
"knife!!"
The French soldiers escorting these prisoners instantly raised their butcher knives, their eyes filled with the pleasure of revenge, and their breathing gradually became heavier.
? !
Arturia's eyes suddenly shrank, and the muscles in her whole body tensed up.
This scene instantly stimulated all the London garrison. While shouting curses, their extremely angry and ferocious faces were full of hatred and helplessness for the tragedy that was about to happen.
"Oh?" Xia Ya raised the corners of her mouth slightly, showing a look of great interest.
"Do you want to massacre the prisoners to lower morale?" Merlin's tone was still as comfortable provided you ignore his already extremely cold face.
"Oh, you have finally changed!!!" He was only halfway speaking. Suddenly, a golden light flashed in front of Xia Ya! Looking at that extremely familiar figure, a light fragrance drifted past my nose. With almost no time to hesitate, Char turned around and quickly stretched out his arms to grab Arturia who had jumped onto the battlement!
Char swore that if he hadn't reacted just now, he would definitely have to watch Arturia rush down the city wall to save people in the next second.
"Impulsive ghost!! What do you want to do!!" Xia Ya, who was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat, yelled angrily.
"What to do?!" Artoria was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "Of course to save them!"
In the French camp, Carroll, who was sitting upright in his seat, sneered and looked at the city of London ahead.
With a sinister and cunning expression on his face, Military Advisor Qi Man sat three steps behind Carol and stared at London.
"You said would anyone really be stupid enough to come out to save people? Qi Man." Carol looked extremely happy, and her resentment at the interference of Knight Pullen seemed to have been relieved a lot.
"No, there won't be." Qi Man replied firmly.
Carol tilted her head slightly with a pity expression: "Really That's really a pity."
He waved slightly towards the soldier outside the tent, and the soldier immediately took the order and walked towards those who were escorting the prisoners.
After a few words with the leader, the soldier left.
¡°Then the leader-like guy roared loudly, screaming like a wolf, and the executioners who were escorting hundreds of Englishmen all flashed their machetes!
Crack! ! There was a loud bang in the sky.
Under the pale light of lightning, the sharp butcher knife swung down!
The screams that followed one after another were interrupted by the thunder that followed.Covered, only the bright red reflected in the pale light is deeply reflected
Merlin had closed his eyes, Barona was frowning and slightly out of control, and under Char's expressionless face, there were thousands of shocked British soldiers with their mouths open with expressions of extreme pain, and the last ! It was deeply reflected in Artoria's frozen gaze.
