Warhammer Throne

?Now, thousands of troops are gathering in the Lyonasse Castle, united under the Lyonasse family coat of arms of the white shield of the lion, the army of these two thousand people is already mobilized by the Principality of Lyonnaise Dahlheide knew that the serf conscription was of no use in the war against the northern barbarians, so he decisively chose to bring only the most elite five thousand serf soldiers.

The remaining seven thousand troops consisted of knights, knights, rangers, and sergeants. Duke Dalheide looked serious. He looked at the army gathering in the castle and said to the knights around him: "This battle, It will determine whether Lyonnais will survive."

There are some damages on the armor and robe of the holy grail knight Eisen. He didn't say much: "My duke, in any case, I will be with you, fighting in the name of a lady, until I die."

Another general was also standing behind Dalheide. He was the Earl of Wren and the Duke's lieutenant.

At the same time, Aldelaide, Dahlheide's son, was also there. The young man learned that his hometown had been invaded, so Starry Night rushed back to Lyonasse Castle.

"My Duke, the morale of the army is not high, and the state is a bit sluggish. Were we out of consideration when we attacked like this?" Earl Wren looked at the map with some worry in his expression.

"The barbarians are eager to fight with us. There is no doubt that what do these northern barbarians know? They only know how to burn, kill, and looting, and they don't know much about many things." Dalheide's tone was somewhat disdainful: "Obviously, the barbarians People set up their positions on the Nanzi Plain because it was a small plain full of mountains and woods, where the knights were not conducive to display, so the barbarians chose there to challenge us."

"Yes, it should be for this reason." The Holy Grail knight Eisen nodded. He also wanted to raise this question. As a result, Dahlheide was clearly already in his chest. The Duke’s leadership ability is not particularly good among the dukes, but big and small. There have been many wars.

He saw the barbarian's idea at a glance, which was obviously an open challenge.

"It is true that fighting the barbarians on the Nanzi Plain will indeed have a certain impact on the knights' charge, but this is also a rare opportunity for us." Dahlheide focused his eyes on the map.

On the map, the former glory and vast territory of the Principality of Lyonnais have been shattered. Three black lines extend from the Claw Sea in the north to the Isle of Landry, and then divide into two thick black lines, reaching straight to the island. The hinterland of the Principality of Lyonnais.

The Duke knew that he could not sit still, and the barbarians had crushed the entire northern part of the duchy into ruins. If he continued to hide in the castle, it would be sooner or later that the barbarians would hit Lyonasse.

The barbarians longed for a decisive battle with the Bretons, but what about the Bretons? If the barbarians are broken into pieces and raging around in the Principality, Dalhaid is the most worried thing, and now the barbarians are posing as if they are going to fight against themselves, Dalhaid can't ask for it.

"Nanz, Nanz... I planned to lead a pure knight force to directly attack the rear of the barbarian army, taking advantage of the fact that the opponent's foothold is not stable, and annihilate it in one fell swoop, but now the storm is blowing so hard that the Pegasus knights can't fly. , Ulles’ reinforcements are still on the way." Dalheide said sullenly: “Obviously, this plan can only go bankrupt in the end. Make a decisive battle."

"Yes!" Dahlheide ordered, and no one else had any more opinions.

"Take that out!" The Duke of Lyonasse saw that the morale of the army was a little weak. Dahlheide was prepared for this. With a big wave of his hand, several family knights raised a big banner from the castle.

This is a long military flag with a white background, as white as snow, with a touch of spiritual light radiating from the flag, engraved with a picture.

That is the figure of the founding knight king Arthur. He is standing on the sea of ​​blood on the mountain of dead bodies in the green skin. His whole body is covered with sacred light. The golden and red tassels on the banner are floating in the sky. This banner is made of the hair of the fairy princess. Success is an invaluable treasure that has been passed down from the establishment of Bretania for thousands of years to the present.

"That is... the banner given by the lady!" The first knight who knew the goods saw this banner, and he said incredulously: "This banner must have fought with His Majesty Arthur!"

"I know, this is the battle standard of the first Knights of the Holy Grail, and the first Duke of Lyonnais, Silrouf! Your Excellency Sirrouf fought side by side with this battle standard for more than two hundred years, until he died in Sanne. Riverside!"

"Oh my god! Oh my god! We actually have a chance to fight side by side with this banner!"

"My lady! I'm ready!"

The blood was surging in the hearts of the knights, and the sluggish morale that had been hit for several days was reinvigorated by this banner. Many young ranger knights roared loudly, and the steady kingdom knights were also passionate.

Dahlheide nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this: "Go!"

…………

After two days of marching, the army of knights approached the Nanzi Plain. The knights of the kingdom led by Ulles merged with the army of the Duke of Lyonasse. There were a total of about 28,000 troops, of which there were more than 5,000 knights.

Ulles and Dahlheide met, and the two shook hands to greet each other. The group came to the big tent and discussed the battle plan.

In the knight’s tent, the candle was lit, and the great nobles of Dahlheide and Lyonace gathered. Ulles and other holy grail knights stood on the other side. They surrounded the big table in the tent and looked at it. map.

"Tomorrow, we will fight the barbarians in the Nanz Plain." Dahlheide pointed his finger on the small area of ​​the Nanz Plain: "Our plan is that first a large group of knights will force the barbarian army. Charge, break up their formation, and then pass the left-wing Sir Eisen led a part of the knights to roundabout, and the right-wing Lord Ulls is responsible for the counterattack against the barbarians. Then I will lead the Chinese army to advance and defeat the main barbarian forces in one fell swoop. The chaos scum of the Lins tribe drove down to the sea to feed the fish!"

"Suppress a lot of knights at the beginning? Directly attack the barbarian army?" Kalad asked: "My Duke, will this be too reckless?"

"Oh, Lord Karad, obviously you can also see how the terrain of the Nanzi Plain is." Dahlheide smiled disdainfully: "Do you think I can't see it? The barbarians want to fight us here, just like that. The knights are unable to perform their full abilities. The knights who want to lure me into attacking their carefully prepared army in batches, and then gradually wipe out, I will not fall into the trap so stupidly. Tomorrow, the army of knights will be led by Earl Rennes directly. Charge head-on, be sure to crush the barbarian army in one fell swoop!"

When Karad saw this, he was silent. Perhaps he thought that Dahlheide's plan also made some sense.

Ulles nodded: "In this case, your lord, your knights will attack the barbarian army head-on. I will lead the kingdom's knight army to respond to your actions from the side. We give priority to defeating the barbarian army, because there is Scullin. The most elite fighters of the Skarins tribe, as long as they can force the king of Skarins to retreat, those vassal tribes will no longer obey the command of the Skarins tribe!"

"We need to set aside a reserve team." Jules also had some opinions about Dahlheide's bold plan. He said to the Duke of Lyonace: "We can't rush to overwhelm all our troops without a reserve team."

"My son, Aldelaide will lead two hundred knights and eight hundred knights, a total of 1,000 cavalry as a reserve team." Dahlheide nodded.

"No infantry?"

"Infantry is not very useful in this war, Ulles, I have not experienced the war with the northern barbarians for the first time." Dahlheide shook his head, he said seriously: "Only knights can defeat the barbarians."

"..." Ulles pondered for a moment and nodded heavily.

That’s right, the northern barbarians believe in chaos. Compared with the Bretonian infantry, their combat effectiveness is no problem with one enemy five or one enemy ten. The infantry can easily be defeated by the brave barbarians. Soldiers are defeated, and only knights who have undergone strict military training can unite under the banner of the lady and fight against the terrifying barbarians.

So the decisive strategy for the next day was finalized, and everyone took the time to rest.

Ulles and Dahlheide walked out of the camp. Dahlheide sorted out his plate armor and burqa, and said to Ulles: "Your Excellency Ulles, I will trouble you to lead your army to support this time, Leona. Sai thank you forever."

"This is a lady's order. This is my duty. You don't need to be grateful to me." Ulles shook his head. On the contrary, his face was filled with determination: "I'm just worried that the strength of the barbarians may exceed our estimates. The lady entrusted me with a dream, saying that this invasion was stronger than ever."

"...But do we have any other choice? We have to fight to the end." Dahlheide frowned, and he followed Ulles' gaze to look into the distance.

In the distance, it was pitch black. Tomorrow, the army will fight the barbarians not far in front, and the barbarians have been waiting for them for a long time.

The night was like a black cloth, blocking out all the sunlight. Ulles and Dahlheide looked at the sky and remained silent.

Something white began to fall from the sky, it fell on the hair of the knights, on the armor of the knights.

It's snow, it's snowing in the sky!

"Take a good rest, Ulles." Dahlheide patted Ulles on the shoulder, and the Duke himself knew that tomorrow would be a fierce battle: "I'll go to rest first."

"Yeah." The Knight Commander of the Holy Grail nodded silently. He stood alone in front of the big tent, silent.

The snow began to grow, and the snow in April feels unusual no matter how you look at it. However, the influence of the Chaos Wind is like this. When the Chaos Wind blows on the earth, anything weird may happen in the mortal world.

"Karad? Come out, I know you are there." Ulles took off his cross helmet with a golden unicorn statue, revealing his resolute face.

On the top of the helmet, a few candles are burning.

Wearing a red and blue burqa and a sword hanging from his waist, Calade, Count of Galament of Bastogne, walked up from behind, his face still a little worried: "Jules, I am still a little worried, Dahl Your Excellency Hyde's plan is indeed detailed, but it is a gamble to overwhelm too many knights at the beginning."

"How can you not bet on war? There is never a 100% chance of winning in a war." Jules' expression has not changed. Since he became a holy grail knight, his emotions seem to be hidden. The usual holy grail knight grows huge He wears a helmet most of the time. Only people who are close to him like Anara have the opportunity to see him when he is not wearing a helmet: "At the beginning, a large number of knights are charged. We are fighting head-on, which is exactly what we want, Karad, the kingdom can’t afford to drag, nor can Leonesy! Do you know how much food our army of 28,000 will eat in a day? You know How many refugees and villages in the entire Principality of Lyonese are waiting for us to support? Curona’s garrison is empty. If we spend more time in the field, the situation will be more variable."

"Indeed." Kalad had nothing to say.

Both Ulles and Dalheide knew that after the serf riots and a series of events, and then the Chaos Invasion, Bretania needed time to recuperate. Therefore, it is not surprising that Dalheide was eager to decide the winner. Only by completely defeating the main force of the barbarians in the war can he retain a vitality for his principality and begin the long restoration and reconstruction work.

Karad greatly admires and respects Jules, who is also his teacher and friend, brother and father, and in the strict sense the brother-in-law of the Holy Grail Knight Commander. The two have fought side by side many times, and it is precisely because of this. , He dared to ask Jules, otherwise, in Bretania, the words of the Knights of the Holy Grail are the truth, and there is no room for questioning and blasphemy.

"It's so snowy." Ulles cast his gaze on the dark night sky: "Get some rest early, Karad. Tomorrow, we will ride the battlefield in the name of ladies. There is no fluke in this war."

"Yes!" Karad bowed deeply, and left for another place.

Ulles touched his brown beard and stood there, watching the heavy snow in the sky.

"Madam, please give us strength and courage. Let us continue to fight. Your loyal believer, Jules, swears here that we will fight to the last moment in your name until the end of the battle."

…………

The next day, the army of knights finally set off for the Nanzi Plain. At this time, the snow between heaven and earth was vast, and the army of barbarians had been waiting here for a long time.

Thousands of barbarian warriors, wild beasts, are densely distributed on one side of the Nanz Plain. They can't see the border like a dark cloud. The plain is exuding a stinking stench. The horn from the Scarlins tribe. The sound and drum noise spread for several kilometers and it is endless. The dark chaotic octagonal flag and the eight-pillar emblem battle flag of fear of abuse symbolize the sailing flag of the Scarlins tribe and the battle flags of countless small tribes. There are many shrines of evil gods everywhere. Yes, the skulls are decorated with shrines, and they are desecrating the land of the goddess.

The army of Brittany knights slowly entered the battlefield. The tip of the lance and the blade of the sword gleamed under the snow. The gorgeous armor and the neat queue are simply a wonderful giant landscape.

Jules was proud of the Breton knights, and under the guidance of the goddess, no matter how powerful enemies they faced, the knights would not back down.

"Beep~" The melodious and majestic horn sounded in the army of knights. The knights flocked to the battle banner of the first Duke of Lyonasse, Silluf, and the horn kept sounding.

The barbarian army also blew the horn, and then countless shouts and the sound of axe hitting the shield sounded.

"So, this begins." Ulles' eyes contained determination and determination, and the five Holy Grail knights followed behind him.

"Get ready to fight! Knights, fight for the land of the goddess! For the lady! For Britania!!!" Dar Hydra stayed on the reins of the horse, and he raised the lance in his hand, and the Duke screamed, he The voice echoed on the battlefield.

"May Madam grant us victory!"
