Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 663: At the Lady’s Intention

What a feat it is for more than a hundred Holy Grail Knights to march together?The villagers who were lucky enough to live in Briogne witnessed this sacred scene. An imperceptible shimmer enveloped each of them, and the momentum of the horses running seemed to overwhelm the mountains until they were reduced to dust.

These knights with faith came from all directions. Even Cologne, the farthest place from Briogne, still sent knights of the Holy Grail.

The leader was Henry Leo Cornwall, the current king of Bretonnia. He came from the end of the distant gray mountains with his strong vultures, vowing to win honor for the lady.

On the other hand, the movement in the direction of Helmgart seemed very quiet. Twenty demi-griffon knights gathered from all over the empire.

Under the leadership of Magnus, he walked in the southern land in the name of the White Wolf God. No one knew why Ulric issued such an oracle.

…………

Watching Aslay's construction team move rocks and build a platform under the spell of the curser, Imrik smiled unkindly and found a bench to watch the fun from a distance.

With your construction skills, even a mouse would shake his head to express hopelessness. The ground of the duel ground is uneven. Find some dead branches and tie them together and put them on the edge as a fence.

If these Asrais were to fight a tough battle, not to mention morale issues, but relying on poor construction skills, even the artillery trenches might look like they were gnawed by rats. No wonder they were invaded by beastmen all day long, and the level of social productivity and development was worrying.

No matter how stupid a race is, they at least understand that the battle line needs to be drawn outward, build a few permanent fortresses at key nodes in the outer circle of Athel Loren, and install powerful long-range firepower.

If the beastmen gather in large numbers to invade, whether it is to bypass or attack by force, they can have better countermeasures. Relying on the forest they depend on for survival as a line of defense can only be said to be a good strategy, and counting on the forest spirit to get a piece of it. .

If Dwarf Duozi encountered the same situation as Aslay, guarding a forest without going anywhere, and his opponents would be brainless beastmen, he would probably be happy.

But this is fine. The poor construction ability can give the Shadow King some time to find the location as soon as possible. It is best to stay here for a month.

Imrik, who was yawning, excused himself and refused to participate in Edgar and Odd's complaints about Aslay's skills. I'm afraid that some people will have to be transferred next, and the air combat is still a bit troublesome.

"Assanil, Edtelis, take the dragon to Hethiota immediately. Lord Mazdamudi will instruct you on your next move."

"Yes."

"Yes."

This is the good thing about cross-distance communication. Any news can be sent out immediately. The command headquarters to be formed must be equipped with all-weather communication equipment.

Just as Imrik was thinking about where to go next for some fun, someone noticed the untimely sound of iron hooves from a war horse, which was obviously coming from the rear. The guards who were already in preparation for war immediately prepared their formation, thinking that It was Aslay who was planning to ignore martial ethics and carry out a sneak attack from both sides.

The Flame Knights were all on standby, forming a triangular formation in groups of 30 people, preparing for a countercharge.

But as the sound of iron hooves got closer, I finally saw the appearance of the visitor. Various coats of arms and flags were carried by knights. Hundreds of knights were enough to form a heraldry sequence.

The one in the first row is the battle flag of the warbler symbolizing the Lady of the Lake. The faint shadow on the sky also proves that Bretonnia is not only sending out ground cavalry this time. "Monkey's Holy Grail Knights? What are they here for?" Edgar was confused. These Holy Grail Knights couldn't be here to cheerleading.

"No matter what they are here for, if you don't like it, I'll kill them all." Odd was quite free and easy, and asked the Sword Master of Hoth to give up his position. Didn't you see that our old brothers have all changed to new ones? Why don't you show off your skills.

"By your ladyship, the elves of Ulthuan and Athel Loren, your unjust acts must stop immediately!"

The thundering orders made people feel pressured, and combined with the slightly loose formation of the Holy Grail Knights, the sparse number of people seemed to be like thousands of troops rushing forward, which was more imposing than Aslay's wild cavalry.

Imric and Tigris looked at each other. Sure enough, Lilith would summon the Holy Grail Knights. It would be best to win all the competition champions. Caledor felt humiliated and never wanted to get close to Athel Loren and Ba. Tonya.

Squinting his eyes to look at the Holy Grail guard holding the war flag of Orioles, Imric waved his hand and gave the order,

"Creon, go to battle."

After receiving the order, Creon walked out of the queue and charged towards the running Holy Grail Knight alone. The horse wrapped in dragon-shaped armor was faster than the hybrid horse, and with the unique glorious color of the little golden man, it was just one person, as if can defeat the fierce Bretonnians.

The Grandpas of the Holy Grail, who are well aware of the virtues of knights, knew that the elf meant to send only one person to charge. The running formation was controlled to spread out in the middle, leaving a highly respected female believer to face off against the golden man.

Creon did not choose to charge with a gun. In fact, the guy in his hand was completely prepared for foot combat. However, due to his superb martial arts skills and the reasonable length, the Flameborn Knight gradually developed a unique fighting style.

His eyes were fixed on the incoming Holy Grail Knight, especially the lance that shone with faint light. Controlling the distance was the key to charging head-on.

As a dragon prince whose son is almost 150 years old, Creon has broken countless stones and replaced wooden lances just to show the glory of his family at this moment.

Three point two meters!

His veteran experience allowed him to quickly determine how long the invisible lance was. After clamping the belly of the war horse and making it neigh in a low voice, the speed increased a little.

The lance thrust out like a dragon, and he could already see some wrinkles beside the fanatical eyes of the Holy Grail Knight, aiming directly at his heart!
If it were in the past, Creon would have stabbed the lance into the ridiculous chainmail of the robe, but the lapis lazuli long-handled hammer in his hand did not allow this, and he did not want the precious dragon armor to get even a scratch.

Just hold the war hammer with both hands and use it to hit the point, intending to hit the top of the lance accurately.

Onlookers were sweating for Creon. Although he was not good at mounted combat, the saying that the longer he had the greater advantage was true in any battle. Not to mention the advantages and disadvantages caused by the differences in weapons between the two sides, the Flameborn Knight chose to use Taking an opportunity in a blink of an eye as a breakthrough was already considered a huge risk.

How could he ensure that when the Holy Grail Knight's spear thrust out, he would not only accurately predict the direction, but also swing out the long-handled hammer in an instant to resolve the attack.

But Creon did it under an incredible condition. When the lance was thrust out from the Holy Grail Knight's hand, only half a body away, the long-handled hammer he was holding in both hands was also brought out with the horse's momentum, and it was extremely hard. The lapis lazuli hammer surface just falls on the top of the spear tip.

The divine weapon blessed by the lady turned into sawdust and broke. The strong steel spear tip turned into a blunt spear head when it first came into contact. The strong force caused the middle wooden pole to fall apart in a shattering manner, and the next step of the lapis lazuli long-handled hammer The attack location is the chest of the Holy Grail Knight!
