Lords: From Civilization to the Stars.

Chapter 31 Knights, prepare to charge! (Edited)
The leader of the Falcon Knights is a knight who looks elegant and noble.

He always wore the shiniest armor, maintained the most elegant posture, and even his beard was neatly trimmed.

As a knight who followed the Holy Grail, he was now recognized by the Holy Grail. A brilliant light shone around him, which was the proof that he was a knight of the kingdom.

In Bretonnia, the knights of the kingdom must go to the Green Tide to prove themselves, or serve as the guardian of a city to supervise and act as the agent of the knight king to fill the vacant territory after the expedition. The style of Bretonnia destined their chivalrous path to be extreme.

In fact, the roots of Bretonnia lie in the knights.

Every time there is a call and the Knight King takes action, all the high-ranking knights will come out in force, and those who remain behind are often ordinary people who are regarded as unable to fight, or knights with inferior abilities.

It is precisely because of this that chivalrous expeditions are so popular. No knight or lord would tolerate such an insult. Bretonnia is about the strong protecting the weak, and if they are not involved in fighting the green tide and the undead, they will be the weak being protected.

That is why they chose the chivalrous expedition to prove the necessity of their existence from different places.

This kind of ritual did not exist in the beginning of Bretonnia, but with the development of several generations of Knight Kings, especially with the previous Knight King, the Paladin Artoria who always appeared in iron mask and full armor, this custom was eventually formed.

But now, they are not weaklings. On the contrary, they have completed the original purpose of the Chivalrous Expedition. Now, fighting against the demons is the climax of the Chivalrous Expedition.

“We were the underdogs.”

Riding on his steed, the Falcon Knight wandered in front of the many knights and said loudly:
"We were not chosen by the king to join the great battle against the Green Tide. We are the weak who are protected. In the eyes of those knights of the kingdom, we are just a group of common people."

"We failed to prove our strength in the Knights' Tournament. We failed to show our true bravery and grace. We are not as good as those great and noble upper-class knights. In terms of morality, character, and martial arts, none of us seems to be decent."

“But now we have done it.”

"The Holy Grail is here, and the enemy is before us."

"Moreover, it is our ancient enemy, a great demon called Knight's Scourge that appeared in the war against Chaos. It is a monster that has killed countless great knights."

Looking at the huge monster that was roaring below and whose shape was becoming brighter and brighter, the Falcon Knight's voice was extremely loud.

"We are now on the most noble battlefield!"

He shouted loudly.

"We will become heroes sung in all history books, and we will kill all the demons! Perhaps this will be the day we die here, but all of this will be worth remembering! Knights! See! There is an enemy over there that is worth fighting!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!!!"

The wind was cold and biting, but the blazing light of faith even ignited the sky.

The Holy Grail burst into a blazing light amidst the warm cheers, and countless light green mists spread out, making all the knights present feel their fatigue disappear instantly.

On the hillside, the knights had formed a column. Even though their team looked extremely thin and weak compared to the demons, their high morale and the light of the Holy Grail lit by their lances proved that they had the ability to fully kill the demons.

However, just when everyone wanted to start the tragic charge, a great will suddenly came to their minds.

'I'm sorry, but I don't think your life should end here.'

"...My Lord?" Hearing the voice that fell upon his ears, the Falcon Knight was stunned.

"We have seen the demon army you mentioned, and we are sure that this is our fateful battle. Why do you...?"

'How long do you think you can hold out?'

'Forever, my Lord. As long as we live, these demons will never threaten our land. As long as one of us is alive, they will never set foot on this sacred area.'

'No, I mean, I had an idea.'

In the knights' minds, Leon's voice was still so relaxed and indifferent, as if some transcendent being suddenly thought of something interesting.

'I suddenly remembered that if the demons want to enter this world, they must first understand the elements here. In other words, this world must be relatively stable, right? And they are fine if small places are unstable. Only large-scale changes in elements can cause the collapse of their existence.

And the demons are not afraid of death because they believe they will never die. Even if they die, they can be resurrected in another dimension. Right? '

'Yes, my Lord.'

Looking at the demons at the bottom of the hill, whose number had been reduced by almost nine-tenths, but whose sizes were growing larger, their breaths were becoming more and more realistic, and they were even beginning to leave scorched marks on the soil, the knight responded in his heart.

'As long as their concepts are not shattered and they are not allowed to leave forever, these demons will sooner or later gain power in the void and revive again. Even the Knight's Disaster has been suppressed several times. But on the contrary, if they can be truly killed, they will surely be extremely panicked, right?'

"Then I understand. Just charge ahead and I'll take care of the rest."

'Yes, my Lord.'

The Falcon Knights nodded their heads and accepted the order. Then they looked at each other, started to urge their horses, and in unison, raised their lances high and began to charge towards the demon camp at the foot of the hill.

"Poor little knights, are you going to show your blood? Do you think we have no ability to resist at this time? Very good, very good! I will grant you your wish! Dedicate all your blood and skulls to my Lord!"

Just as the devil was laughing at the charging knights, Leon stood silently in front of the Stonehenge a hundred kilometers away, smiled and snapped his fingers.

“Large-scale magic operation, flattening the area.

Transform all the mountainous areas on my border into plains."

The stable Stonehenge suddenly emitted a terrifying roar that no human could hear.

Large-scale gathering of factors and ultra-large-scale mobilization of elements will cause the surrounding environment to become unstable.

This is common knowledge in the wizarding world.

The moment the demons felt the turbulence of the surrounding magical elements, their faces suddenly became terrified.

"In the name of Lord Leon! Die forever! Devil!"

The knight, shining with white light, roared and instantly thrust the extremely hot lance in his hand into the demon's twisted head, instantly exploding it into a handful of white light.
