Heart of the Castle

Chapter 784

The army meandered forward, and the sound of hooves rolled across the sky like a series of heavy thunders, shaking the vast land of Beijing County.

Since His Majesty Arthur XII of the Kingdom of Arthur personally led the army to the four southern counties, this was the first time that such a large-scale army was mobilized.However, compared with the Wang Jun, who had loose discipline and different uniforms last time, the troops dispatched this time looked more orderly and equipped with more elite equipment.Hundreds of herald knights held pennants with winged coat of arms in their hands, and galloped on both sides of the marching column, issuing orders from the high command one after another; various arms—including light cavalry, heavy infantry, The queues of light infantry and archers lined up one by one, advancing slowly under the guidance of high-pitched marching horns, appearing to be quite orderly.From a distance, it looks like a giant steel snake that stretches for several kilometers, with colorful flags flying in the air.

Hundreds of meters above this team, dozens of alchemy airships lined up and slowly advanced forward. Due to the need to match the speed of the ground troops, these airships all adopted the propeller propulsion method, buzzing The sound is like tens of thousands of bees making noise in the air.The hot air balloon of the flying ship is covered with gold leaf, reflecting the rising golden sun, it is so bright that it is hard to look at it.

Many smaller black shadows hovered around the alchemy airship fleet. They were the figures of the Griffin Sky Knights who served as guards. After the tempering of the battle, this troop has formed three completely different combat methods.The sniper shooter unit armed with alchemy crossbows and long-range scopes is responsible for the escort of the alchemy airship, attacking all incoming enemies in the air; Surprise the enemy's key locations, or kill incinerators, pit priests, or other magician units that are less capable in melee combat.

Finally, of course, there is the gremlin bombing squad, which is noisy all day long.Under the ruthless suppression of the dark alchemist Master Youyue, the small monsters of the Secret Rhythm Tribe kept their alchemy talents in the right direction. It is almost the same as the traditional Thor's Hammer, and due to the extensive use of low-grade materials, the cost is only one-tenth of the latter.

However, the name given to this weapon by the little spirit is too difficult to pronounce, so after learning that the alchemy formula was improved from "Babrupa's Universal Door Opener", Levi Stone personally decided to name it "Babrupa's stepping stone" won the joyful approval of the vast majority of people and the sad eyes cast by the leaders of the four children.

Her Majesty Queen Fleischer I and Prince Regent Levi Stone rode at the forefront of the procession, accompanied by Marquis Osiris the Green Lion, Wilps the Flame Wheel Knight, three Iron Guard Knights and dozens of Gryphon Champions knight.Behind them were three hundred knights and nearly a thousand cavalry from the first regiment of Griffins. Countless horseshoes trampled on the ground covered with thin snow, making a dull and majestic sound.

Unlike the vast majority of infantry who couldn't help cursing in a low voice, Grunwalm was very grateful for the thin snow. First of all, the snow stopped in time and did not cause more serious trouble to the march than a little mud; Snow, there was no smoke and dust rising when the cavalry troops advanced, not only made breathing easier, but also allowed him to clearly see the figures of Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince Regent walking in the front.

And the strangely stiff atmosphere between the two of them.

It's not surprising that Levi Ston is half a horse's head behind Queen Fleisher. In public, the young regent has always paid attention to this aspect, respecting and highlighting Her Majesty's authority.But even the eyes don't meet, this situation is too unusual. Of course, Levi Ston kept silent, and Queen Fleischer even kept her eyes fixed. When she turned her head occasionally, the person she was talking to was often Osiris. The Marquis or Flame Wheel Knight Wilps.

This is indeed too abnormal.

Grunwalm at least put more than [-]% of his attention on those two people. Anyway, the marching method of the brigade is the kind of slow advance, not fast and slow, and the discipline of the Griffon Knights Sex is the best among all the troops, and he doesn't need to be distracted at all.At first, he thought that there was a serious disagreement or other problems between Levi Stone and Queen Frasier, but before the noon break, he overturned this idea. If something goes wrong, it's at least not a big deal.

The question now is, when did Her Majesty Queen Fleischer's feelings for Levi Stone turn from love to respect?

With this idea that confused his thoughts, Grunwalm was able to rein in the horse in time when the horn sounded. Si's sword hilt suddenly became hot.After waking up, Grun Worm looked around, only to realize that the entire army had stopped, and it should be time for a noon break.

Since it was only a temporary break for two hours, except for setting up a tent for Her Majesty Queen Fleischer, everyone else chose to sit around the campfire on the open-air ground, chatting and warming up by the fire while waiting for the barracks servants to bring lunch.

Grunwalm was no exception, but because of his preoccupation, he took a large bowl of hot soup and two pieces of black bread from a servant, then walked to the edge of the forest far away from the crowd, and found a plant that lay down on the ground. trunk sat down.

In any case, if the relationship between Levi Ston and Her Majesty Queen Fleisher changes, the Griffin Knights will be faced with a very serious choice, whether to be loyal to the royal power, or to be loyal to their chief. The choice will bring new changes to the entire future. As for whether it is good or bad, I am afraid that no one can know in advance.

However, Grunwalm was surprised to find that his mood was far less heavy than he imagined.

Isn't it a good thing that there has been a change in the relationship between Levi Stone and Queen Fleischer?Even if there will be a series of rifts and fights afterwards, isn't it a great opportunity for him who holds the holy sword Granat to take advantage of the opportunity?If the weather is calm and the sea is calm and the river is clear, where is there room for heroes to make contributions?Didn't the young regent, the lord of the Griffin, His Excellency Levi Ston, rise up just when the catastrophe came and the kingdom was in danger?In what way is the name Glenn Warm inferior to Levi Stern?Couldn't it be possible to add another name when everyone shouted the name Levi Ston?

"Glen Worm!" A voice yelled loudly, and the young title knight shook his head indifferently, continuing to think without paying attention, until a fiery red figure appeared in front of him.

"Knight Grunwalm!" The voice was a bit harsh this time, causing the young title knight to shudder, and then raised his eyes, "Master Wilps? You, when did you come?"

"I've called you several times, Knight Grunwalm, but you don't seem to have heard me at all!" Wilps had a puzzled and angry expression on his face, "Sir Clever Mouth brought some The reconnaissance report of the enemy's situation in the Holy White Rock Fortress, Queen Fleisher has ordered all knights above the rank of team leader to attend the military meeting."

"Sir Clever Mouth?" The overly familiar name made Grunworm's mouth open, "Master Wilps, could it be that..."

"That's right, it's the big crow, who was conferred the title of Lord because of his many achievements, and the fiefdom is in the middle of the Rotten Swamp." Wilps said every word, with a serious expression on his face, looking a little dissatisfied, But Grun Worm, who was familiar with him, always felt that the flame wheel knight was actually holding back a smile. "Knight Grunwalm, please remember that the title of Sir Clever Mouth is higher than yours. Please be the first to salute after you see him, and call him Lord Sir."

Grunwalm felt that he must be very stupid after hearing these words, because when Wilps turned and left, he seemed to be unable to suppress a low laugh, and almost slipped on the snow-covered stones. I fell.

The camping tent built for Her Majesty Queen Fleischer was huge enough to accommodate nearly a hundred fully armed knights to attend the meeting, and it looked like a banquet hall of a castle.The only difference is that there are not so many tables and chairs. Except for Queen Fleischer and Regent Leviston, who have their own seats, everyone else—whether it is the sky knight or the fire wizard—is in the bearskin around the tent. Sit on the floor on the mat.Several royal family Puyi ran around under the instruction of the Bamilian general manager, and served hot beer soup and fermented yoghurt to the participants. There were raging fires burning in several fire pits dug temporarily, and the darkness, cold and humidity were all gone. Drive out from the tent.

Grunwalm was almost the last one to come into the tent, and found an empty seat near the door. At the same time, he glanced around and noticed that the smart-mouthed "Sir" covered in black feathers was staying at Frye's door. On Her Majesty Queen Hill's shoulders, she shook her head proudly and said something strangely.

"Usually, isn't this bird more affectionate to His Excellency the Regent?" This idea suddenly popped up in Grunwalm's mind, but then he shook his head to expel this stupid idea.

A gust of cold wind suddenly blew into the tent, blowing the flames in the firepit to a height of more than two meters, fluttering like a banner.Glenn Worm, who was near the door, raised his head in surprise, and found that the person who entered the tent was a knight in thick black armor. The helmet was covered with a skull-shaped visor. shoulder.

"Isn't this the first guard beside the regent, the legendary knight Sir Rodriguez?" Grunwalm blinked, recognizing the familiar cold aura of the black-armored knight, and then saw Queen Fleisher Huo Ran got up with a face full of surprise, and strode over to meet him.

then……

Grunwalm suddenly felt that he should learn from some kind of magical creature called an ostrich and bury his head in the bearskin cushion under his buttocks.Because after Queen Fleisher came up to her, she stretched out her arms and hugged the body of the black-armored knight without saying a word!
