When Ryan, Su Liya and others rushed to the meeting hall of Helenhild, almost the entire Weinford nobles were already present. Kuangsha Literature Network

Su Liya’s cousin, Earl Antelm, and others were already present. There were a dozen great nobles present. When they saw Ryan and Sulia come in together, they all greeted them, and Ryan and his wife also greeted them one by one. Response.

After marrying Su Liya, Ryan was finally fully integrated into the core layer of this duchy.

Many members of the Quinalis Champion Knight Brotherhood were present, and here are a few very famous legendary knights.

The most famous are undoubtedly the "Long Legs" François, Duke of Winford, and his son-in-law, the "Pious" Ryan, Earl of Glamorgan.

Many other legendary knights are also famous in the kingdom and even the old world.

Knights of the Holy Grail, Count of Kuilau, Antelm of Ostay.

The paladin of Azarix, Sir Gerrod, François' cousin.

Sir Jeffrey of Angleton, "The Brawler", once slaughtered a dragon named Scala alone.

The conference hall of Helenhild Castle is full of talents and stars like clouds. Today, these heroes, who have been extolled among Bretonian folk songs, have gathered together, these epic creators who have created countless epic stories.

They will work together to deal with this crisis.

"Ryan, Suria, are you here?" Francois, Duke of Winford was looking at the map. Seeing that Ryan, Suria, Armand and Bellega had all arrived, Francois reached out and gestured: "sit down."

"Hey~ folks, are you interested in listening to me tell a story?" With so many legendary knights gathered together, the king of the Angland clan, Belga-Hammer, his eyes lit up, and he wanted to be these people. All went to participate in the expedition to Bafeng Mountain, and defeated Skarsnick and "Headhunter" Quick!

"The story will be told later, Bellegar...King." Count Antelm of Kuilau called out to the king. He felt awkward how he shouted. The dwarf king in front of him didn't even have a fortress, and he was embarrassed to say he was. king?

But this is not the point now: "Ryan, now that you are here, let us introduce what we know so far."

"What's the situation?" Ryan motioned to Bellegar not to rush to tell the story. The business was important. Bellega shrugged. He found his own small bench. Bellega's arrival was expected by Francois, and the meeting room was full. There is a raised bench in the front position.

Everyone began to listen to Antelm's story.

Ryan took Su Liya to the seat, he held Su Liya's small hand, and the female knight also put her small hand on his big hand to show that she was okay. The couple looked at each other and smiled and began to listen.

"Two days ago, Vulcade, Duke of Montfort, sent people to ask for help from the whole of Brittania. A huge army of undead came out from the black stone stronghold in the gray mountains, and the target was Montver in the axe bite pass. Castle." A huge map of Brittany was hung on the wall, and Antelm pointed to Montferre Castle located on the Axe’s Pass. In the tentative offensive, Vulkad himself had gone through a hundred battles. He did not care but assembled a three thousand army led by two hundred knights for the expedition, and ordered to retreat immediately if the situation is unfavorable."

"On the plain near the town of Sorden on the upper reaches of the Grismori River, this army encountered the undead army. Under the First World War, it was immediately surrounded by the undead army. Only less than a hundred knights and two hundred farmers remained. The soldiers withdrew."

"Knowing the seriousness of the matter, the Duke of Vulcade immediately ordered the wall to be cleared. He ordered all the serfs and nobles on the way of the undead army to immediately take refuge at the Montfern Castle. The Duke of Vulcade himself led the duchy's knights in Pousse. The town temporarily repelled a small number of pioneers of the undead army and responded to the retreat of the refugees. According to the scouts, the number of the undead army is astonishing. The preliminary estimate is more than 50,000. The Duke of Vulcade knew that his army was not enough to fight the undead army, so he told the king Seek help with all the dukes!"

"Is there a reply from the king at the moment?" Francois frowned, and Duke Winford himself asked first.

"The Regent Raun received a request for help. His response was to let the Duke of Vulcade hold on for the time being. At present, the entire kingdom is harvesting in autumn and is temporarily unable to immediately organize an army of knights. He asked the dukes of the north to gather the army together. Before facing the threat of the undead army, the army must be assembled and reorganized. Any sporadic support is only to increase the number of replenishment for the undead army." Antelm said.

"Correct judgment." Ryan, who was sitting at the round table, nodded and said. Lawn's approach may be less familiar, but his doing well is undoubtedly correct.

"The Duke of Bastogne has just received a request for help. It takes time for him and his Principality to gather troops. All of us know that Bastogne is special..." Antelm continued: "So at least we have to wait until the autumn harvest is over."

Most of the knight lords of the Principality of Bastogne are holy grail knights, which makes the entire principality immersed in the glory of the past, and the life of the people is fairly decent. The level of greed of the nobles is relatively low, but at the same time, the domestic ability of the entire principality It is also relatively low, especially Berhemond himself. He always appoints commissioners to manage the principality. He stays with the knights of the Brotherhood of the Red Dragon Knights in Bastogne Castle to compete and expel various powerful enemies. .

In this case, Bastogne must spend a lot of time trying to organize an army.

"Carcassone doesn't need to think about it. Its border is too long. It's good that Duke Hubald's army can defend the border..." Ryan continued to think: "Similarly, Burleon doesn't have to think about it."

"Then Pallaon and Pordro are left... Will the Poseidon Knight support us?" Gerrod also raised his own question.

"Don't count on others, Gerrod, we can only rely on ourselves." François interrupted Gerrod's question, and the Duke still frowned: "It is certain that the other party is Heinrich the Necromancer. -Kemler and his Tumulus Corps?"

"It can be determined."

There was a whisper in the conference hall, and Heinrich Kemler returned, and he returned with him and his Tumulus Army.

"Then what should we do now, should we temporarily stop the autumn harvest and immediately support Montferre Castle?" said Sir Jeffrey of Angleton.

"If the army is recruited now regardless of the autumn harvest, it will be a huge loss to the territory."

"But if we don't support Montferre Castle as soon as possible, maybe the castle will fall. This is forbidden. We must not let the land that the lady gave to us Bretons be desecrated in the hands of the undead."

"Montfort Castle is a famous and strong city in the old world. It is not so easy to fall! We must be fully prepared."

There was a quarrel in the conference hall. The nobles were arguing about whether to send troops during the autumn harvest. After all, the autumn harvest is their own interest. Montferre Castle is a famous and strong city in the entire old world. Many knights think that the Kofun Corps will not be so easy. Destroy Montfort Castle.

Furthermore, the knights and nobles of Weinford understood that to fight the army of the undead, it must be done quickly and without delay. Every dead knight and soldier will become a new undead, and fueling tactics is not advisable.

Ryan frowned, what should I do?

"Vulcade's request for help this time is really straightforward. For his pride, he would not have asked for help so quickly." Antelm continued: "But the destruction of the Axe Pass at the beginning of the year made the Principality of Montfort economical. There was a major blow, so Vulkad immediately asked for help from the entire country, and by the way, he also asked for help from the Empire. At present, the imperial court has not responded."

"Reorganize and gather the army first, and when the autumn harvest is over, we will send troops immediately!" In the end, François's decision was finalized.

…………

In the mountains of the Duchy of Montfort, Brittania.

A huge number of undead legions, with no end in sight, are marching along the mountain road. Tens of thousands of zombie legions and skeleton warrior legions crowded the entire mountain road. The black bat legion and the sky ghost legion covered the mountain sink. In the sky, in the middle army, Kemler’s two most elite grave guards and the tomb ghoul and the tomb goblin army moved slowly. He himself was holding a staff and did not ride a horse.

Mathieubad led two army of undead knights and a team of blood knights next to Kemmler. This black knight of Mousillon wears all black cursed plate armor. He is behind Kemmler. The main provider of cavalry in this war.

"Montfort Castle is now a crowded barrel, and most of the refugees have already withdrawn into the castle under the cover of Vulcade." Mathieubad said to Kemmler: "Yours The slow march gave Vulcade plenty of time to prepare."

"Are you questioning my decision?" Kemmler raised his head, and his shabby and burred wizard hat lifted slightly.

"No, my task is to assist you. This is the condition of our alliance." Mathieubad said disapprovingly.

"Humph! Then follow my orders." Kemmler lowered his head again.

Kemler and his Tumulus Army were actually not ready for the first coalition attack with Ryan and François, but the attack at the autumn harvest would make Brittany rush, they have launched the offensive for three days. There are no signs of assembling troops everywhere.

However, Kemler’s march was not particularly smooth at the beginning. The Principality of Montfort had very little farmland. The vast majority of serfs depended on grazing and mining for their livelihoods. Without the task of autumn harvest, the serfs saw the number one in the army of the undead. The reaction is to turn around and run.

At this time, Kemmler ordered not to pursue the chase. On the contrary, except after slaughtering several villages in a row at the beginning, he let the army slow down the marching speed, which allowed the Duke of Montfort Vulcade to have time to connect the refugees to the castle. And improve the castle’s defenses.

Mathieubad was puzzled by Kemler's orders. Since he was rushing to attack at the Bretania's autumn harvest at the beginning, why did he slow down and advance now? Since the intention was to create a large number of corpses to replenish the army through massacres at the beginning, why did Kemler let the Duke of Vulcade cover the retreat of a large number of refugees?

Isn't this a contradiction?

This necromancer really became confused after being chopped off by François for half of his head?

Well, you can die hard, Kemler, Mathewbad has a hideous smile on his face hidden under the helmet. When you die, I can take over all your forces.

Do your best!

The undead army continued to advance. On the rugged mountain road, Kemler looked at Matthew Bard without a trace, and he also sneered in his heart.

Did not persuade me, this kid hopes that I lose, so that I can take over all my forces.

If this kid advises me not to do this, then he wants me to win.

Like Matthew Bard’s abacus, Kemmler also has his own plan.

Montferre Castle is extremely strong, and the undead is a race that is not good at siege. His tomb army has no siege equipment, and it is almost impossible to conquer this castle quickly.

This is what he intended for the Duke of Vulcade to lead the refugees to retreat. So many refugees, how many mouths? How much food is stored in the castle? How long can this castle last in the absence of food?

What he has to do is to fight for help. The Principality of Montfort must turn to the Kingdom for help. He only needs to wait for other reinforcements from the Knight Kingdom and annihilate it!

At the same time... Kemler recalled the battle of La Mesennere Abbey more than twenty years ago, and remembered that Francois rode up to him on horseback. In the fury from the **** of the lake, the sword of the unicorn struck him. After a cold front almost decapitated him, the hand of the necromancer firmly squeezed his noisy skull staff.

François, I will repay everything you bring to me!

A week later, Montferre Castle, Brittania.

Montferre can be described as a model castle in Brittania. It is located in the middle of the gorge of the axe bite. It shows the world the best example of fortifications: the five-story huge and strong city wall divides the castle successively, and the towering stone wall extends from the west. It starts at the very end and ends at the bunker at the eastern mountain pass. The castle collects lijin from all transit personnel, and a prosperous trading city has also been formed in the castle.

It is said that Montfort was a fortress of dwarves in ancient times. It was later abandoned due to the decline of the dwarf power. The current Montferre Castle is a Breton tribe that crosses the gray mountains. of.

The main fort of the castle is on the north side of the mountain pass. It is a huge fortress over 20 meters high. The five-story stone fort is filled with eliminated artillery imported from the empire and fixed giant trebuchets. Each floor is divided into Two independent fortifications. The lower three floors are parallel to the cliff, and the top two floors are towering watch towers.

Every city wall was filled with Bretonian defenders. There were as many as tens of thousands of them, but even behind such strong and tall fortifications, their hearts were still surrounded by fear.

Now, the entire giant castle is submerged by a sea of ​​undead.

The Duke of Vulcade stood on the watchtower and looked at the undead army that could not be seen, with a grim expression: "My lady is here, this will be the most severe test that Montferre Castle will face in decades. May you grant me victory."

"In the face of the dead, there is no peace, no surrender, the people of the Principality of Montfort! We can only fight to the end!"

"Unite together, under the faith of the lady, we have only one battle. May the lady bless us!"

"May the lady protect us!" The huge response from the castle echoed in the valley.

As if responding to the words of Prince Vulcade, a distorted and hateful horn sounded in the army of the undead.

The war has begun.
