Davian Holy Grail War

"David, is he more enthusiastic this time than before?" Altria was receiving front-line intelligence from the 10th Reconnaissance Company, including statistics on kills and losses, and daily distance traveled.

This time, Davidian was much more courageous than before. If it were someone else, he would probably be worried that his subordinates would become too successful and threaten their master.

"What's the matter? He's your knight and your champion. It would be strange if he didn't try his best. Not to mention he's just a Saxon.

They are fine against those small kingdoms with little training and few people. But it is just a small problem for them to face a large army of professional warriors like the First Legion. "

Merlin laughed and explained the current situation beside her. Davian was now firing on all cylinders, charging towards Londinium with unstoppable momentum.

If it weren't for the need to take care of the army in the rear, Davidian might have already been at the gates of the city by now.

Arturia nodded. It is true that the Saxons could not stop Davian. Then their army will have to speed up. As long as Vortigern is solved, peace will surely usher in for a while.

Chapter 84 Before the War

Finally, Davian overcame all the difficulties and obstacles along the way, and led the First Legion to the city of Lontinium, which he had been to once before.

He had met Vortigern here once before. This time, he was going to charge into this fortress city, chop off Vortigern's head, and put an end to his dark reign.

The entire First Legion quickly set up camp outside the city, preparing to welcome the arrival of our king from the rear.

Davian was outside the city observing the huge fortress city in the distance. If the soldiers' lives were used to fill such thick walls and gates, the 20,000 people he brought would probably not be enough to open the city gates.

[There is nothing we can do about this. For the sake of the soldiers’ lives, I will personally attack the city gate.]

Davidian thought silently in his heart that this was really a city that was too strong.

"Captain of the Legion, King Arthur has arrived. Please go to the meeting." Wincenrib came to Davian and announced the king's order to him.

Davian nodded, and then Wenqinlibu immediately led him to the king's tent. The others were already here, and Davian understood what was going on.

If Vortigern did not intend to leave the city for a field battle, then my king might plan to attack Londinium. They did not have much time to waste here, and they had to get rid of Vortigern quickly before other princes stabbed them in the back.

"Thank you for your hard work, Davian. I have learned all about your vanguard mission this time through intelligence. If you continue like this, I don't know what reward to give you."

Altria chuckled, this was really the end of the appreciation.

Although in fact, Artoria has not rewarded anything yet, whether it is the title of knight or official position, Davian has no such thing.

He only has an empty title, the commander of the First Legion, which is not even an actual appointment. It's just that Davian took on this job and has been doing it all the way to now. In fact, he doesn't even have a salary.

This is also why many people feel that Davian has been treated unfairly. He works for Altria without asking for anything in return. This weird dedication to someone also makes many people stay away from Davian.

They respected Davian, who killed enemies and sacrificed himself for the king, but they did not want to get close to such a Davian.

"I don't care about that. King, what should we do next? Should we attack Londinium directly, or will the other side come out and engage us in battle?"

Davian put his personal problems aside for the time being. Those were minor matters. The key at the moment was the strategy for Lontinium.

Arturia nodded and then said: "Well, I just received the opponent's letter of challenge. It seems that they plan to fight us in the wild, giving up the advantage of the city wall. It seems that they are very confident."

Everyone present laughed confidently. If they were to engage in a head-on battle, then their group of extraordinary knights would not lose to anyone. They were all confident enough to crush Vortigern's army on the frontal battlefield.

"King, I am not worried about the battle outside the city. But if this battle causes the enemy to collapse completely, they will retreat into Lontinium and start a defensive battle. The loss of soldiers will be high, and that will be the problem."

Tristan plucked the strings of the harp. He could almost foresee how brutal the war would be. This was not what they thought.

Arturia nodded, and they all saw the thick wall of Londinium, which was not something that could be easily crossed.

"So, what do you think?" Arturia wanted to ask her trusted subordinates what they thought and what they planned to do.

"King, if we can defeat Vortigern's army in one fell swoop, then I suggest that we try to storm the enemy's city gate directly when they are retreating.

If we can buy enough time for a few of us to lead enough soldiers into the city, we can then turn the battle into street fighting, and maybe we can capture Londinium."

Lancelot shared the thoughts of the others, and they all thought of this method of fighting.

Artoria nodded slightly, this is a method. As long as the speed is fast enough and the vanguard is strong enough to seize the most important city gate, they can bypass the thick city wall and rush straight to the palace through street fighting.

"King, I think Sir Lancelot's idea is a good one. I am willing to serve as the vanguard. With my abilities and protection, I should be able to do it."

Seeing that King Arthur seemed to be interested in this plan, Gawain decided to take on the task.

It's not that he wants to steal the credit, but he can do this kind of task without fear because he has the sun protection and can avoid being hurt. He is indeed more suitable for this task than the others.

But Artoria said with a smile: "No, you don't need your ministers to handle this task. I will charge and open the city gate myself."

"King! How can you let the King undertake such a dangerous mission?" All the knights present, except Davian, panicked.

Even if the king's strength is extraordinary, it is too dangerous to directly attack the opponent's gate.

Only Davian smiled. It was also a thing like a city gate that had no value for people's livelihood. Arturia would not mind unleashing the power of the Holy Sword in that place. With the powerful power of the sword in the lake, it would probably not be a problem to blow open the city gate with one blow.

"Don't be nervous, gentlemen. Don't forget that my king has the Holy Sword. With the power of the Holy Sword, it is easy to blast open the city gate. This is also a good opportunity to declare my king's power. Just watch."

Davian spoke for Artoria. Now that Artoria said she would take the lead herself, Davian would definitely let her fully demonstrate her strength.

With her strength, it was Vortigern's army and that poor city wall that should be pitied.

Following Davian's words, everyone looked at the holy sword on the king's waist. Each of them knew that this was an unimaginable weapon.

But they had never seen how powerful this sword was. And now, it seemed that the opportunity to witness the power of our king was finally coming.

"I have made up my mind, so just wait and see. We will definitely win this battle." With Altria's words, the meeting ended amid everyone's curiosity and expectation.

Gawain and Lancelot both went to prepare their troops, but Davion did not leave yet.

Seeing Davian sitting there, Artoria asked him: "What's wrong, Davian? Is there anything you want to say?"

"I met Vortigern once several years ago. Artoria, you will fight him, right? Then you must be careful, there may be something wrong with that guy's background.

It would be best if Gao Wenqing followed you and won the victory smoothly. But if anything goes wrong, I will come immediately after suppressing the Vortigern army in the city."

Davian said this based on his intuition. His intuition told him that there might be a big scene tomorrow.

Artoria nodded, and then Merlin walked in from outside the tent. He said happily: "That's right, so in order to ensure complete victory. Artoria, I have something to give to you!"

Chapter 85 Breakthrough at Londinium

When the morning sun shone on the earth, the armies of both sides went into battle at the same time. This time there is no big advantage or disadvantage in terms of numbers between the two sides. Twenty thousand versus thirty thousand, this is not a headcount ratio that can be said to be a disadvantage.

But Davitian was very vigilant, because Vortigern's army could be said to be truly elite.

They have complete arms and orderly deployment, and they have all experienced the great war many years ago. They are truly elite veterans.

King Arthur's army was composed of young and energetic men, while Vortigern's army was composed of experienced warriors. David didn't know whether this battle would be a great victory as usual.

He put away the fantasy book that Merlin gave him yesterday. Merlin said that this book actually came with Davian, but Merlin couldn't open it no matter what.

Davian knew this book, the Evil King Dragon. He was very familiar with this book. But even he, the current swordsman of the Dark Sword, couldn't open this book now. He didn't know why.

This battle was simpler than the previous ones, and there wasn't even a pre-war declaration.

After the archers shot a rain of arrows, the enemy's infantry rushed directly towards King Arthur. When the battle lines of both sides were mixed together, the cavalry of Vortigern's side immediately launched a charge.

Their attack was so intense that even Davian could feel the dull oppressive feeling.

"The wyvern cavalry is coming!"

Davian, who had already charged into the enemy camp, saw the wyvern cavalry taking off from the city and heading straight for King Arthur's army, but fortunately they had already made sufficient preparations for this matter.

"Catapults, fire! Suppress the enemy's wyverns! Don't be stingy with your crossbow arrows, bring us your short spears."

Tristan stood next to the ballista troops, commanding his own troops to suppress the wyverns in the air.

Tristan's expression was so strong and firm at the moment, and his hand that plucked the bowstring did not stop for a moment. The enemy's air force was very strong, and at this moment he had to go all out.

At this time, more arrows were shot from the city wall. Davian blocked the arrows while killing the enemy. He could not help but roar:

"Vortigern, this cruel bastard, didn't even spare his own army?"

"Are you crazy? Your army wants to kill even your own people!" Lancelot hacked and killed the enemies around him, but no one responded to his shouts.

Most of Vortigern's army just tried their best to kill the enemy in silence.

No one escaped at all, it was just like corpses.

Lancelot no longer tried to communicate or persuade them to surrender. He had not given up fighting despite being attacked by his own archers.

That means these people are either crazy or being controlled by something. Lancelot can only focus on killing the enemies at this moment.

Arturia watched this scene on her horse. At this time, she decided not to be patient and wait and see. Now she was about to fight her way in. It was time to open the city gate and start the next phase of the battle.

"Gawain, come with me! Bring forward all the forces of the Royal Guards!" Artoria spurred her horse and rushed towards the enemy. The light of the holy sword was as bright as the stars on the ground.

Riding on Ramlei, Altria slashed left and right, and no enemy could stop her attack. The invincible King Arthur showed his impressive military strength at this moment, and he was the invincible god of war on the battlefield.

"Wenqinlibu, tell the brothers to stay away from the city gate! Everyone prepare to meet the attack, and once the city gate is opened, immediately charge into the city and engage in street fighting!"

When Davian saw Altria coming towards him, he knew what she was going to do. He couldn't let his brothers get caught up in the king's attack. That was no joke.

King Arthur, who was leading the way, swung his sword and spilled blood. She began to chant the prefix of the liberation of her true name. This blow was about to break open the city gate!

"This light is the hope of the stars, the proof of life that illuminates the earth! Let's fight it out, the sword of victory!"

The golden light bombardment swept forward and engulfed the entire city gate area. Davian couldn't help rubbing his eyes. What kind of attack is this? Is this the liberation of the holy sword?

At this moment, Davian heard the sound of weapons falling to the ground one after another. The people who were controlled in his mind by the light of the holy sword had given up the fight.

They were soldiers, but it depended on who their opponents were. When they woke up and saw the city gates turned to ashes, they thought, what a joke, can they win against such an opponent?

This is already a myth, right? How can humans defeat a monster with such power?

"Charge! Fight your way in and capture Lontinium!" Davian took the lead and rushed into the city.

At the same time, Vortigern's last loyalists who were not under mind control began to return to the city.

They all knew that the people-loving Altria would not fire in the city, so they could find a way to use street fighting in the city to wear down the enemy.

"Lancelot! Go and capture the city walls, clear out their archers, and allow more soldiers to enter Lontinium!"

Artoria immediately gave the order, asking Lancelot to occupy the city wall to ensure that everyone could enter the city while also ensuring a way to retreat if things went wrong.

"Yes, my king!" After entering the city, Lancelot immediately rushed up the stairs to the city wall.

Arondette's cold blade tasted the blood of the enemy. At this moment, Lancelot could truly be said to be an unparalleled knight in the world, and his strength was unquestionable.

Arturia and Gawain rushed directly towards the palace, where Vortigern was. As long as Vortigern was eliminated, the battle could be said to be completely over.

[It's strange, why is there not a single resident? When I came to Londinium, I lived in fear, but there were many residents.]

Davian continued to kill Vortigern's last loyal followers in the street fighting. Although he didn't know why these people wanted to die with Vortigern, he was too lazy to care.

Lancelot had also secured the city wall as quickly as possible at this time, and his direct subordinates took over the gate area and part of the city wall that had been blasted open.

He also began to advance towards the city, but when he had just advanced a dozen meters, several daggers attacked him from a dark corner.

He swung his sword to block all the daggers and slashed at the enemy at the same time, but the opponent's body was very agile and was able to dodge his attack.

"Sir Lancelot! Watch your back!" As the soldiers shouted, several daggers came at him from behind. Lancelot reacted sharply and dodged the sudden attack again.

"You go first! I'll handle the assassins here by myself! Go!"

Lancelot resisted the attacks of these people, and then blocked the attacks of Vortigern's assassins himself.

He didn't know how many sharp blades were hidden in secret, but he knew that his soldiers staying here would not be of any help, but might even become a burden.

So he planned to deal with all the assassins here by himself before moving on. If the opponent's target was him, then he would fight back!

"Yes! I wish you good luck in martial arts!"

The other soldiers also knew that they could not help Lancelot at this time, so they quickly left here and joined in suppressing the other Vortigern troops.

And Lancelot began to deal with these assassins in the shadows wholeheartedly.

When two sharp blades came at him again, Lancelot swung his sword with all his strength and split open both the man and the weapon. Now, he can concentrate on dealing with these guys.

"Okay, let's see who will stand at the end."

Chapter 86: Their respective opponents

Davidian was also rushing towards the palace at a rapid speed at this moment, accompanied by a dozen soldiers from the First Company.

The soldiers of the First Company are all the most elite fighters, and Wen Qinlibu selected these people to play a role at the critical moment.

Either for the decisive battle or to cover the rear, these people now followed Davidian and turned into a sharp knife rushing straight into the heart of the enemy.

But at this time, a person slowly walked from the front. In Davian's eyes, the man clearly looked like an old man, but he gave him a sufficient sense of oppression.

"Nice to meet you, Dragon Knight Davian Slyric. I am the only magician under King Vortigern, my name is Anagumas. I have been ordered to stop you here, and it would be even better if I can kill you."
