Heart of the Castle

Chapter 918 Facing the dawn, towards death
The location of the swearing-in meeting was chosen to be on a wilderness dotted with countless stones and shrubs about five kilometers away from the death pass. In the sky, the golden griffin flag fluttered in the wind, adding a touch of bright color to the dark sky at dawn.

According to Li Weiston's requirements, the troops that can participate in the final battle are all elites selected from a hundred, especially the core troops that are preparing to break into the desperate pass. The minimum level also needs to have the title or strength of a regular knight to be selected.A total of [-] heavily armored knights from various countries stood in a neat square on the wasteland, accompanied by equally armed mounts, and the white mist exhaled from the mouths and noses of the horses and people rose upwards. , seemed to be the cause of the thick fog that enveloped the wasteland.

Although there are more than [-] people, the elite are worthy of being elite, and there is no noise of whispering and talking in the whole wasteland.Countless pairs of eyes stared at the towering Tarlon Fortress in the distance, waiting for the protagonist of the swearing-in meeting to arrive.

The rising sun renders the eastern sky a fiery rose color, and stretches out like countless golden fingers towards the west. The light drives away the darkness, the stars hide in the sun, and the half-collapsed peaks around the fatal pass are transformed into thick black silhouettes. Gradually turning into the true color of ocher, thousands of heavily armed Griffin Knights galloped out from under the wide-open gate of Tallon Fortress, and the smoke and dust raised by the horseshoes shot straight into the sky like straight spears. Hundreds of flags of all kinds are flying overhead.

This is not the first time that the prestigious Griffin Knights of the Kingdom of Arthur have appeared in front of all nations and armies, but the shock still hasn't weakened much.In the face of the Griffon Knights coming towards them like a huge steel mountain, a small commotion inevitably appeared in the originally neat formation. Dented and stretched, a small but real flaw was exposed at the junction of several troops.

Such a flaw may not directly lead to a disastrous ending, but it will inevitably be used by the Griffon Knights, occupying a limited but decisive advantage.

Seeing that the troops under their command showed flaws, many knight leaders, sub-heads, and company captains cursed angrily. While yelling at their subordinates to restore a uniform formation, they threw mixed attacks at the galloping Griffin Knights. With envious and jealous eyes.

King Regent Liviston, the guardian of the Kingdom of Arthur, personally led this army, which can be called the most elite army on the mainland. Today, the young regent wore a set of simple and exquisite iron blue armor, with a The extraordinarily gorgeous griffin feathers, the mask lifted high, revealing a resolute and resolute young face, with only a touch of fine fluff on the lips.Behind him, the four chiefs of the Griffon Knights rode side by side. Sir Grace, the sniper archer, held a silver fir longbow in his hand and wore a gray-green cloak on his shoulders. Cedric, the Earl of the White Wolf in the cloak, complemented each other; the Flame Wheel Knight Wilps and the Steel Fist Knight Dragoonson, who were also fully armed, rode on the outer sides, with extremely vigilant expressions, painted with a round of red flames and A shield of an iron armored giant fist was slung on the outer arms of the two, as if ready to block the flying arrows from both sides for Li Wei at any time.

Under the protection of the wedge-shaped array formed by the Griffin Knights, the kings, grand dukes and city lords of the continental countries came together to bid farewell to the warriors who were about to go to the Pass of Desperation.After several days of running-in, few people still have a fluke mentality about facing the doomsday crisis. Although many people's faces are unavoidably pale due to uneasiness and inner panic, their expressions are at least firm, one by one. His mouth was tightly pursed, as if he could spit out some impassioned words at any time.

Her Majesty Queen Frasier I of the Kingdom of Arthur rode a silver-gray war horse, slowly walked out from among the many kings, and walked straight towards Levi Stone.The same young Her Majesty was wearing a set of silver-white knight armor, but the buckles in many places were not fastened, and the laces were not fastened. It seemed that she was ready to take off the armor at any time to reveal the clothes underneath.

This approach is not surprising. More than one kingdom has the custom of the king personally conquering, while the queen guards the capital. This custom usually has a ceremony of handing over the sword representing the royal power, so many queens also symbolize their status in the ceremony. In uniform.After the ceremony is completed, they will take off their military uniforms as a matter of course, revealing the gorgeous clothes underneath.The Kingdom of Arthur is nothing more than reversing the gender of the king and queen—this is almost a recognized thing. During this period of time, there are more than one kingdoms that use marriage as an excuse to test whether they can win over the young regent of the Kingdom of Arthur. However, they Both were rebuffed by Levi's firm refusal.

In the mouth of Grand Duke Zandora, who claims to be an insider, this kind of firm refusal can only represent one thing. The regent of the Kingdom of Arthur and Her Majesty the Queen have long regarded each other as lifelong partners. Within a short period of time, what about the absolute trust between the two that is enough to entrust life and death?You know, it is also the relationship between the Regent and His Majesty the King. The Kingdom of Deldes needs to be wiped out with blood and life several times before Grand Duke Zandora's butt can sit firmly on the throne.

Queen Fleischer rode slowly in front of Levi Stern, and looked at each other, looking deeply into each other's eyes.In the next moment, there was no hint or reminder, the two jumped off their horses at the same time, and then Li Wei shook the dark gray woolen cloak behind his shoulders. Knock hard on the chest.

"Li Weiston, the head of the Griffon Knights of the Kingdom of Arthur, led the Griffin Knights and all the soldiers of the Continental Allied Forces to pay tribute to Her Majesty Queen Fleisher I of the Kingdom of Arthur, as well as the kings and grand dukes of all countries."

"Salute to Her Majesty Queen Fraser I, and to the kings and grand dukes of all countries!"

An orderly sound came from behind, [-] griffin knights tapped their breastplates on horseback at the same time, and was repeated by more people. It was made by tens of thousands of voices at the same time. The sound rolled across the sky like a thunderbolt, shaking the surrounding air.

Queen Fletcher didn't respond right away, she seemed a little emotionally unstable, her body was stiff, her eyes were fixed on Levi Stone's face, and crystal tears gradually overflowed from her eyes.Immediately afterwards, she stretched out her hands to support Li Wei's arm, then took a step back, and gently unfastened the gold buckle on her shoulder.

The cloak embroidered with the coat of arms of King Arthur's two swords and crown slid to the ground first, followed by the silver-white breastplate falling with a clang. However, to everyone's surprise, Queen Frasier was taking off the silver-white armor. Afterwards, a black dress representing a widow was revealed, and a black moon flower, which means "kiss of death" in flower language, was pinned on her left chest close to her heart, with a sad and resolute expression, not like It is a farewell ceremony, but it seems to be attending a solemn funeral.

The attire of Queen Fleischer inevitably aroused the speculation of many people, but the extremely dignified atmosphere at the scene made it impossible for them to ask questions in their hearts at will, until a mighty horn sounded through the clouds, dispelling all discussions, The whispers and noise were all swept away, and tens of thousands of people held their breaths, waiting for the opening remarks that Queen Fleischer was about to make.
