Heart of the Castle

Chapter 783 Departure, the sword guides the four counties of Fang
The entire Green Castle was immersed in an ear-piercing noise.

The old red-robed scholar Master Sujiad once vowed that it would be a sunny morning, but until just now, the sky was still shrouded in light gray haze, the biting cold wind whirled and blew in front of him, and occasionally fine snow fell on the ground. on the cheek.The face of the golden sun was completely covered, only a layer of gray morning light pierced through the clouds and fell on the high walls of the Green Castle. However, that color intensified the chill of the wind and snow, piercing straight like a steel cone. marrow.

The ice dragon knight Grun Worm sat on the back of his own steed, trying his best to wrap up his thick cloak woven from high-quality Vaal wool without losing etiquette. Even so, He still couldn't help but shiver.The armor on his body was as cold as an ice sculpture, perhaps under the blowing of the cold wind, a layer of white frost had already hung on the surface.Glenn Worm secretly envied the flame wheel knight Wilps, his fiery red armor looked very warm, and the flame wheel fighting spirit was far more suitable for keeping out the cold than his own ice dragon fighting spirit.

Cedric, the Earl of the White Wolf, looked different. This old knight from the aborigines of the northern border had always been known for his rough appearance and vulgar attire. Today he brought this vulgarity to a certain peak, wrapping his entire body in Under a thick layer of bear skin.The furry bearskin probably had some problems during tanning, and it gave off a strong fishy smell. If it was normal, the number of people frowning at him would definitely rise to an astonishing number, but it stood tall in the wind and snow. Half an hour later, all the ridicule and disdain turned into equally strong jealousy, so many envious eyes shot from all directions, the jealous flames burning inside were about to burn through the old bear skin on Earl Cedric up.

Fortunately, there was warmth from the hilt of the holy sword Tranatsis at his waist, which made Grun Worm feel better.He happily clenched the hilt of the sword, allowing the warm current to fill his body, drive away the cold, and bring the peaceful feeling as if soaked in warm milk.

Whenever he grasps the smooth and comfortable hilt of the holy sword, Grunnorm can't help but think about it. This sacred weapon chose him and helped him, which undoubtedly proved his excellence and irreplaceability, regardless of forging Who is the god who owns this sacred weapon? Now they must be watching him from the sky, and maybe they can bestow divine favors when necessary.As the real master chosen by the holy sword Tranyatesis, the name Glenn Worm will inevitably leave a strong mark in the history of the Kingdom of Arthur.

And now is the last chance!The young title knight secretly clenched his fists and said to himself silently in his heart.

As an attendant knight of King Regent Lee Weiston, Grunwalm has been exposed to far more secrets than ordinary Griffon knights, and even more detailed than most team leaders.Those who are eligible to hear the news that Li Weiston announced from the Burning Dragon King Dariga are limited to the important officials of the kingdom.Many people think that the kingdom has indeed turned into a counterattack, but the situation is still not optimistic. After all, although the capital of Fermeyer has been restored, the demon army assembled in the four southern counties is no less than [-]. In terms of military strength, the Arthur Kingdom There is no advantage.

However, Grun Worm had already analyzed a conclusion that surprised him from the confidential information he had learned. Regardless of whether what the Burning Dragon King said was true or not, the demon side had already fallen into a defensive situation.Especially after the two fierce battles between the Moonlight Glade Outpost and Dirk City, the two remaining abyssal lords were not enough to pose enough threats and obstacles to Arthur's kingdom. In the confrontation on the frontal battlefield, the abyssal demons had suffered a crushing defeat.

A high-pitched and majestic horn sounded, awakening Grunwalm from his complicated thoughts. He smiled a little self-consciously, and then refocused his attention on the towering ceremonial building in front of the main gate of the Green Castle. on stage.

Hundreds of important officials of the kingdom, noble lords and wealthy children who stayed behind in the Green Castle gathered on the temporary viewing platform, each of them dressed in luxurious clothes and behaved reservedly, just like an exhibition of silk, fur, gold and silver, and all kinds of exotic clothes .The old red-robed scholar, Master Sugard, was wearing his heavy scholar necklace, and stood side by side with another important minister of the round table, the Marquis of Geros, at the top of the viewing platform, and between the two of them, there was the The Iron Throne representing the supreme power of the newly born King Arthur.

Yet the Iron Throne was empty.

Grunwalm could hear whispers behind him.This kind of situation is not common. Her Majesty Queen Fleisher I is not a king in the ordinary sense. Although she has the blood of the Arthurian royal family and has the right to wear the king's crown, she has never received similar teachings. .After all, the late King Arthur XII had his own offspring. Even if the crown prince died unfortunately, Fleischer still had multiple elder brothers—thanks to the hard work of Grand Duke Raul—as heirs to the throne.

If it wasn't for the treacherous lord Shacklesh's ten-year-long secret plan to bloodbath the royal capital, which put the entire Arthurian family on the verge of severing blood, Fletcher would not have the possibility of wearing the crown.When she was unprepared, she suddenly found out that she had become the last blood of Arthur's royal family and was about to take the throne. The panic in her heart made her refuse to admit the reality for a while, and would rather give up the throne to Li Weishi, who holds military and political power. It doesn't matter if Arthur's kingdom becomes a relic in history because of this.

How did Levi Stern persuade Fleisher to agree to become king? Information about this is classified as top secret in the kingdom. Next, no news can leak out.Grunwalm can only speculate based on some gossip. After Her Majesty Queen Fleischer I ascended the throne, the military and political power of the Kingdom of Arthur did not shift accordingly, but continued to be controlled by the important ministers in the form of a round table meeting. In the hands of the Prime Minister and the Regent, Li Weiston, this should be part of the agreement.

Queen Fleischer had always clearly supported the Regent, Lee Viston, in taking over the power of the kingdom. It was even more impossible for her not to be present at such a large-scale troop dispatching ceremony to express her support and best wishes.However, there was indeed no one on the Iron Throne, and it remained so until the second round of horns sounded and the army was about to set off.

The whispering voices had turned into an emotional debate. The noble knights from the royal capital made a request to suspend their departure, but the knights belonging to the Griffon Knights immediately refuted them sharply.The two sides immediately fell into a tense confrontation, and even Grunwalm's subordinates—the light cavalry team belonging to the First Griffin Regiment—were discussing something in an uneasy tone.

The two huge copper-inlaid oak gates at the main entrance of the Green Castle slowly opened amidst the creaking sound of the winch, and the figure that appeared after that made all the arguments come to a standstill, and many people watched with unbelievable expressions. Knights of the Gate.

The knight was wearing a silver-white knight armor. The armor was skillfully polished, and it still shone bright silver in the gray morning light.The knight's shoulder armor is decorated with dragon claw-shaped cloak buckles, and the cloak woven with fine gold filaments has a defensive power that is not inferior to that of chain mail. The only problem is that it is heavy, even if it is The knight is riding his horse and charging, and he will not be blown by the wind.

"My gods, that's Her Majesty Queen Fleisher I!" Someone exclaimed, and then there were shouts everywhere, and many people shouted loudly, "Long live the Kingdom of Arthur" or "Long live Her Majesty Fleisher!" There were also slogans, and some people shouted a request of "I implore Her Majesty the Queen to stay at the Green Castle".

However, Queen Fleisher didn't seem to hear it, and rode her horse until she reached the neat formation of the Griffon Knights, and then gently reined in the horse. "Loyal subjects of the Kingdom of Arthur, please listen to me!" Her voice was not loud, but it seemed like a miracle that she silenced the noisy surroundings, "I thank you for your concern and kind persuasion, but I will not stay, Stay in Greencastle, waiting for the news of victory or defeat from the soldiers who fought bloody battles on the front line. I will fight with them on the front line, regain the lost ground, drive out the demons, so that every inch of the Kingdom of Arthur will no longer suffer from evil forces ravages!"

The sound of heavy horse hooves sounded, and then the figure of Li Weiston appeared in front of everyone. This young regent was also fully dressed in military uniform, holding a beautifully shaped long sword in his hand.Seeing this scene, many wealthy nobles couldn't help taking a breath, because that long sword is the famous sword of victory and oath, the sword of King Arthur I, and it is also the symbol of victory for the royal family of Arthur. .

In the centuries-old history of the Kingdom of Arthur, this long sword has always been held by the king himself. Although it is occasionally handed over to the head of the iron guard knight to carry it, it will inevitably return to the king's hand when it is unsheathed.There are only two exceptions, one of which was taken away from his brother by the conqueror Gonitz Adams; and the other happened 12 years ago, when Fidel Adams brandished the sword of victory and oath to drive his father away. Get off the Golden Throne.

However, even the older nobles who were the most rigid in rules did not object to this.No one believed that Levi Ston would be an ambitious man who usurped the power of the kingdom. He didn't need to usurp it at all. For him, the power of the kingdom could be obtained with his hands. Even just a few months ago, there were many people who supported this A young regent sits on the Iron Throne.

Queen Frasier held high the Sword of Dawn, the symbol of the highest power of the Arthurian royal family, and then crossed with the sword of victory and oath in the hands of Levi Ston, and the silver sacrificial fighting spirit flames began to burn from the hilt On the other hand, in the blink of an eye, both long swords were turned into blazing silver torches.

"Kingdom of Arthur will win!" Two young and passionate voices sounded at the same time, like an oath, more like a prophecy.The clouds above the sky seemed to be cut by an invisible sharp sword, and the golden morning light spilled along the gap, and happened to fall on the bodies of Queen Fleischer and Levi Stone, coating their armor with a layer of gorgeousness. golden light.Immediately afterwards, the Black Nightmare in the Northern Territory suddenly let out a long hiss and leaped forward. Afterwards, almost all the mounts of the knights and cavalry neighed in response. Even the pack horses of the luggage troop and the animals of the Greencastle also raised their voices one after another, which immediately heightened the atmosphere. to the most intense degree.

"This is a good omen, a good omen!" Master Sugard, an old scholar in red, suddenly raised his two haggard arms, and shouted loudly, "The gods in the sky bless Arthur's kingdom, and Her Majesty Queen Fleisher I will conquer the south with her own hands. Complete victory, regain lost ground!"

The cheers that followed sounded like heaven and earth, echoing under the towering walls of Green Castle.
