I must draw my sword immediately!

Chapter 23 Sir Hector

The land where plains meet hills.

Thousands of friendly cavalrymen took advantage of the terrain and charged down from above!

Dust billowed, and the neighing of warhorses mingled with the high-spirited shouts of the knights charging into the air.

And just beneath the plains they were assaulting...

Two figures stood there.

More precisely,

Sua shielded Meryl in front of her.

At this moment, he looked at Meryl with a serious expression and wondered to himself if this woman was hiding some invincible weapon that she could use to wipe out all the enemies if she just took it out now.

But at this moment, looking at Merry's confident expression and her posture like someone about to draw the last card in Yu-Gi-Oh!,
With her rose-red eyes, she calmly and indifferently surveyed the thousand cavalrymen charging towards her. Her small hand, clad in silver-white lace sleeves, slowly rose, her fingers spread wide.

Suya couldn't help but hold her breath.
What will she do next? Will she unleash a Kamehameha wave to wipe out all the enemies in front of her? Or will she, like a magician, summon a meteor from the sky to pay homage to the legendary cool guy Mada? Or, following Fate tradition, will she summon her entire Servant on the spot and carry the two of them through enemy lines seven times in and seven times out?
Summoning Zhao Zilong wouldn't be enough; we'd have to summon Lü Bu!
And the next instant
From the enemy's direction, a sudden commotion arose at the rear of the thousand-strong cavalry.
Then,

A fierce figure leaped up from behind the cavalry, and thousands of men looked up at the suddenly appearing figure, their faces showing surprise.

The figure that suddenly appeared in response to Meryl's outstretched palm was 2.2 meters tall, with black hair dancing wildly against the wind, carrying a two-meter-long sword on his shoulder, and his whole body was bulging with muscles!
Just by appearing in sight, one can't help but feel an overwhelming aura of power. His Hong Kong comic book style outfit and the thousand cavalrymen beneath him make him seem like a creature from two different dimensions.

This man was none other than the commander of this Macedonian army.

Hero, Seleucus!

"This...this..." Suya was speechless, and couldn't help but turn her head to stare directly at Meryl.
I was thinking to myself, even if you summoned Li Yunlong, I'd accept it, but you summoned the enemy's leader!

Do you want us to die even faster?!

At this time,
Upon seeing Seleucus suddenly appear on the field, Merry's previously calm expression changed drastically. She stared at the figure leaping down with a mixture of bewilderment and shock.
"This is wrong!"

"What's wrong?"

Mei pointed at the strangely styled powerful figure, swallowed hard, and her expression instantly collapsed.
"We're screwed!"

"This person can catch my attack with his bare hands."

Suya gasped.
"So, this guy is that strong? Your moves that could wipe out a thousand cavalrymen couldn't even scratch his skin?"

At this point, Suya finally had a rough understanding of the power of individuals in this world.

Simultaneously,

Watching that figure, spinning freely 720 degrees, land with a resounding crash amidst a billowing cloud of dust, a thought similar to Merry's involuntarily surfaced.

"We're doomed!"

Similar to Sua and Melly's reaction,
At this moment, seeing Seleucus's cavalrymen pull on the reins, the entire charging cavalry regiment came to a forced stop amidst a cacophony of "whoosh whoosh," with not a single one daring to take even a single step forward.

The leading cavalry general with short black hair rode his horse with small, quick steps to the fierce figure and lowered his head.

Suya couldn't hear what the two were saying, but just ten seconds later, the cavalry commander drew his sword and gave a command.
The entire cavalry regiment turned around as if facing a formidable enemy, facing the western pass, seemingly waiting for something.

Not long after,
Bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun and amidst the vast expanse of pale yellow clouds,
A rapid sound of galloping hooves rang out!
A cavalry force of fewer than a hundred men, all clad in silver-white plate armor and blue cloaks, ascended the pass and looked down from their vantage point.

Leading this cavalry was a middle-aged man with gray hair and a stern face. He held a 3-meter-long lance without a bar and wore a blue and white knight's armor with a skirt. A blue dragon-shaped emblem was printed in the center of the breastplate.

now,

The middle-aged knight with short, gray hair, occupying a high position, slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the thousands of cavalry below, meeting the eyes of the fierce figure behind them. Seleucus, too, felt that gaze and returned it with a burning, battle-ready look.

then,

The middle-aged knight with short, gray hair glanced at the spot where he was standing, seemingly feeling that occupying the advantageous high ground made it an unfair contest for both the enemy and himself.

He slightly raised his hand to stop the knights behind him who wanted to follow him, and rode alone on his white horse slowly toward the cavalry below.

The dispatched cavalrymen immediately parted to the sides to make way, at the command of their leader, who seemed somewhat unwilling.
They were clearly enemies, but they didn't attack immediately.

Despite occupying advantageous terrain, they did not launch an attack as a matter of course.

Despite one side being outnumbered and outgunned, the other side, which had a numerical advantage, dared not make any rash moves.

no doubt,

This middle-aged knight, who appears to be from the British side, is a powerful figure.

A hero knight of equal or even greater caliber than Seleucus!
"Who is that person?" Suya couldn't help but ask Meili beside her.
After carefully examining the details, Mary's expression changed slightly. Then, she looked at Suya with a look of utter astonishment, even confusion.
Meryl's voice was hesitant as she asked, "You don't know him?"

Suya was taken aback, and subconsciously replied, "Should I know him?"

After saying that, Suya suddenly realized something was wrong.

What Meili meant was that it was impossible for her not to know this person, and if she didn't know him, it would mean that there was a huge loophole in her identity!
Mary realized this flaw that directly revealed the truth, which is why she looked at her with such surprise.
She may have already guessed it from this—

Suya,

He was not the king, but a fake who killed the king.

However, Meryl didn't expose Suya on the spot. After taking a deep breath and brainstorming,

Her gaze suddenly sharpened!
Whether Suya is real or fake doesn't really matter to her. In fact, if Suya is a fake, then it's more in line with her initial expectations.

Now that Sua has demonstrated his formidable talent, Meryl has a reason to protect him until Sua sits down at the poker table with her.

"listen--"

“Sua,”

In a very solemn tone, Melly explained to Suya:

"You can only say these things to me from now on. From now on, no matter who you meet, you should try your best to find out their identity before you organize your words—if you don't know, ask me first."

"And regardless of whether you are being genuine or not at this moment, whether you are willing or not,"

"Now, you must all be the closest of kin to that heroic knight."

Meili pointed to the middle-aged knight with short, gray hair who calmly passed through the ranks of her cavalry, and said solemnly:

"And he was King Uther's most trusted advisor."

"They own numerous properties and estates throughout Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and all the kingdoms of Britain, and are among the wealthiest in the kingdoms,"

"at the same time,"

"He is also a peak hero knight who is close to reaching the legendary level!"

"Your foster father, Sir Hector!"
