Chapter 1097, Stonehenge and Hastings

Latest website: PS: The recent plot is indeed a bit hip-stretching, too many National Day activities, and often partying and drinking at night, resulting in a decline in the quality of writing, please forgive me, today the second son of heaven apologizes!

The military council of the knight army was held in Newland.

Bertrand stood in front of the map and described the current situation.

"The scouts reported that from the east and north, there are probably 20,000-30,000 barbarians coming towards Newland." Bertrand said in a deep voice with a big beard on his face: "The current situation and In other words, the enemy is far inferior to us in both quantity and quality."

"According to the existing intelligence of Newland and the intelligence of the last Lawn investigation, the enemy's commander should be the self-proclaimed King of O'Brien, Harold Gwenson." Bertrand went on to introduce: "This He is a very powerful sanctuary warlord, estimated to be at the beginning of the sanctuary, um, very powerful, especially for everyone."

"Hahahaha!" There were bursts of laughter from inside the big tent.

Only Ryan, Olika, and Francois are present at the peak of the sanctuary, Callard is the high-level sanctuary, Veronica, Boderick, and Bertrand are the middle-level sanctuary, and the first-level sanctuary There are also several, such as Chahis Morningstar, a female courtier of François.

Among them, the most powerful unit of the Obien barbarians is Harold's personal guard according to intelligence, a group of Norscan barbarian heavy armored champion warriors. The Holy Grail Knights, even the elite under the command of the major dukes can also wrestle with this army.

As for the legendary powerhouses, needless to say, more than 30 holy grail knights plus dozens of kingdom knights are all legendary powerhouses, and there are nearly 200 legendary powerhouses in the old guard army alone.

Ryan remembered that there were only twenty or thirty legendary strongmen in the entire Nord Kingdom, and there were only two in the Sanctuary.

It's true that the sanctuary is all over the place, and the legend is not as good as a dog?

In fact, Ryan is very clear that this is not the case, but that the faces and visions he contacts are different.

"Where do these barbarians have self-confidence?" Francois said sarcastically: "There are no more than 30,000 people, and they also want to resist our kingly teacher. Wait, let me meet the king of Obien." , and see what good things are in his fortress."

"I heard that there are mineral deposits everywhere in the Beast Mountain Range, this time we have to plunder it." Duke Boderick said relaxedly: "A few years have passed, let me see how much stock the barbarians have accumulated.

"

"Don't take it lightly, everyone." Ryan spoke, Olika stood behind him, the King of Knights sat on the main seat, and said to everyone: "My opinion is to fight the barbarians as much as possible, and don't defend the city."

"Your Majesty, defending the city is beneficial to us." Marshal Rokossovsky asked puzzledly, "Why did you give up defending the city?"

"Defending the city means being passive, and fighting in the field means taking the initiative. Historically, the initiative on the battlefield is very important." Ryan said slowly: "Besides, Newland doesn't have any high walls and deep trenches to defend. Moreover, if you choose to defend the city, then It is tantamount to exposing how many troops we have and how much combat power the imperial army has."

"So I think it's better than this. We take the initiative to attack, leaving only a few defenders of the United Empire to stick to Newland, so that we can show the horns. If we fail in the first battle, we still have troops behind us to provide reinforcements and support. Assuming the battle is tense, The defenders in Newland can be used as a strong deterrent." Ryan continued: "At the very least, they can shout and cheer to make the barbarians fearful."

"Is it like a tiger on a mountain?" The old man was the first to understand Ryan's meaning.

"That's right." Ryan said easily: "There is no need to directly attack the whole army. The thick fog and heavy rain in O'Brien often do not form an absolute advantage in numbers, but will cause problems in our command."

Don't think about victory, think about defeat first, right? Marshal Rokossovsky frowned. He thought to himself that this might be the difference between the King of Knights and ordinary people. If it was him, the whole army would definitely be pressing for a quick victory.

However, individual soldiers have different styles, so you don’t need to be very serious. For example, Luo Shuai and Francois are hard to get along with. The style of leaving nothing behind is really hard to say.

Every marshal has a different style of fighting, and it is not possible to generalize.

"How long does it take for the scouts to expect the barbarians to arrive near Newland?" Ryan asked Bertrand.

"I'm not sure, it should be about 3-5 days." Bertrand said subconsciously: "And Your Majesty, Newland has a huge area. We can't be sure when and where the opponent will attack."

"It doesn't matter, we let the other party choose the location of the final battle." Ryan said with a sneer: "And we decide the time of the final battle."

After finishing speaking, the King of Knights stood up: "Everyone, this is our first battle in Obien. Obviously, we are far superior to our enemies in terms of quantity and quality, but because of this, we will not fight against you anyway." You can relax your vigilance, you must cheer up and start a good start for this great expedition!"

"yes!"

After arranging the strategic policy, Ryan was not idle, and the King of Knights immediately took Olika and Veronica and walked towards Obien's Stonehenge.

Veronica put on a fiery red leather jacket and high boots for battle at this time. The female speaker's outfit also looks very charming, especially the tight leather jacket completely outlines her figure with her proud waistline After that, Veronica took Ryan's arm and complained to her: "It's raining and raining, it's been raining for several days, and then it's foggy and cloudy, my dear, did you choose the wrong person? Teresa and Aurora should come to this ghost place, I'm so sick of it!"

"If you are bothered, you can go back, and I will accompany the master." Olika followed Ryan holding an umbrella. The dark elf was still wearing her black and white maid outfit, but a pale color began to appear on her body, with A large number of black flower-patterned cloaks. At the same time, for the first time, the long staff exuding the cold air from the underworld appeared in Olika's hand. The top of the navy blue staff was inlaid with a blood-red gemstone. Countless ghosts were screaming and begging in pain.

Seeing this scene, Veronica felt a little flustered in her heart. She could vaguely know what it was, it was souls, countless enslaved souls, many of them were very powerful, but now they could only be controlled by Olika. I beg her for mercy and forgiveness.

At the same time, the white maid silk scarf on Olika's head has become a purple-white magic crown that absorbs the surrounding light. It is full of divine power. A "♀" symbol is inserted in the crown. above.

The power on it was terrifying, and Veronica couldn't help but want to get closer to Ryan.

Ryan, as always, didn't think so much, and he came to Stonehenge.

Albion Stonehenge, a famous prehistoric relic, once a symbol of the glory and perseverance of the ancient saints, is also known as the Salisbury Stone Ring, the Ring Stone, the Temple of the Sun, the Prehistoric Stone Table, the Stonehenge Stone Column, and the Stonehenge Stonehenge. Token Standing Stone Circle and other names, some towering boulders stand in a ring in the green wilderness.

Stonehenge consists of huge stones, each weighing about 50 tons. Its main axis, the ancient road leading to the stone pillar, and the rising sun on the morning of the summer solstice are all on the same line. In addition, the line connecting two stones points to the direction of the sunset on the winter solstice.

According to the available information, the Old Sage established Stonehenge to maintain and maintain the Great Guardian. After the Old Sage left the world in a hurry, the Worders were responsible for maintaining Stonehenge.

However, time flies. After thousands of years of repeated inbreeding marriages and self-closing in the thick fog of Obien, the Truthsayers have already forgotten the knowledge of Stonehenge, what functions it has, and how to activate it. How to maintain these things, and after the Belak incident, the Truthsayer not only split into the dark messenger who kneeled in chaos, but most of them left Obien in the end.

Ryan nodded to Veronica and Olika, and then walked to the center of Stonehenge alone. The spiritual energy on his body turned into circles of light and poured into the ground of Stonehenge.

Lightning exploded in the sky, thunder continued, and under the torrential rain, gravel flew up on the ground of Stonehenge. The cyan light of the hexagram and the octagon enveloped Ryan, and the spiritual energy was injected into the ground along the hexagram and the octagon. The silk thread was transmitted to the giant stones that were still standing, and the surface of the tens of tons of stones shone with ancient light.

Ryan's consciousness began to sink into the depths of the circle.

The vortex disturbed, and from another world, some beings responded to the power of Stonehenge, and there came an ancient voice.

"Son of the Old Sage, you are finally here." The voice seemed very dry and old.

"Who are you?"

"I am Donald Trump, I have not been diagnosed with Corona virus, Hope Hicks betrayed me, he, together with Fudge and Biden, put me under house arrest in a white palace! Then he wants to take this opportunity to monopolize power, Without my help, Mike Pence will be doomed, Biden will win the election, Son of the Old Ones, I need your help, I need you to pour all your power into Stonehenge, let me escape the white palace, go Gather my troops in Washington, D.C. When it's done I'll introduce you to Penn Business School for a master's degree in economics! And I'll make you Secretary of Defense!"

Ryan: "???"

The King of Knights looked puzzled, and he was stunned.

ah? What is this with?

"Quick, son of the Old Sage, time is running out!" The voice on the other side came quickly, full of anxiety and seriousness: "The victory or defeat depends on one move!"

"You are not him at all!" Ryan had already escaped from the confusion at this time, his eyes immediately became sharp: "You are not that person at all! I know who you are, you are the number one demon under Slaanesh, En-Kali!"

The voice on the opposite side of Stonehenge was silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly laughed, its voice was distorted and full of charm: "As expected of the Son of the Old Ones, there have been many people who have seen through my disguise, but you only need a few seconds Time will see through, it's strange, I clearly fused some memory fragments from the depths of your spiritual power, there's no reason for that!"

"..." Ryan thought to himself that I can't tell you that those memory fragments are too old, leading to my previous life. If this can deceive me, that is my problem.

"Done right, young man with a strong will, don't believe it!" An extremely tired and weak voice came from the other side, and the phantom of a high-spirited archmage shouted at Ryan: "The power of the maelstrom grows stronger and stronger!" It's getting weaker and weaker, and En-Kali's power can already affect beyond the maelstrom, young man! You are the knight king, right? Can you bring me the last blood, Imric of Caledor? Words?"

"What?" Ryan's psionic energy turned into a silver sharp sword, cut off En-Kali's arm, purple blood spurted out, collided with psionic energy, and was dried by Ryan's purification psionic energy, Slaanesh the Great Moen-Kali let out a cry that he didn't know whether it was pain or pleasure, and it immediately withdrew its arm and magic power, intending to turn off the dialogue.

"Don't try to get...things that don't belong to him." The high-spirited archmage shouted at Ryan: "The Phoenix Throne...is not a...glory, but a...(inaudible) ... the elves have been ... (inaudible) since the beginning."

"Boom!" There was a big explosion, and the ground in the middle of Stonehenge exploded, and Ryan flew upside down.

"Lane!"

"Owner!"

Veronica and Olika hurried over and helped Ryan up.

"Master, are you okay?" Olika quickly pressed Ryan's face to her chest, trying to restore his spirits.

"I'm fine." Ryan shook his head, and the King of Knights struggled to stand up, looking at Stonehenge: "Damn, I thought the Old Sage would leave something in Stonehenge, but it turned out that this thing was in disrepair for a long time, and only the maintenance was left. The only function of the maelstrom's operation."

"Then what should we do now?" Seeing that Ryan was fine, Veronica breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and looked at Stonehenge. Because of the explosion, a pit had been blown out on the ground, and a stone pillar was also blown apart, crumbling.

"What can we do?" Ryan shook his head with a wry smile. The King of Knights stood still, looking at the gleaming Stonehenge, and suddenly smiled: "At least, we got a benefit."

"Benefits?" Veronica looked at the ancient Stonehenge with curiosity on her face.

"A solution to the weather problem." Ryan nodded: "Okay, let's leave this alone, let's go."

"It's time to prepare for a decisive battle with the barbarians."

Four days later, Knight King Ryan Macado personally led 35,000 soldiers, plus 1,300 Nord Marines who arrived temporarily, a total of about 36,300 people. In the northeast about ten kilometers away from Newland, a On the small hill named Hastings, they encountered a barbarian army of 26,000 led by Harold, the king of Albion.

It has to be said that Harold is worthy of being a proven barbarian warlord. He chose a hillside in the middle of the swamp to fight a decisive battle with the Bretanian army. Strong cavalry, and hills meant a commanding vantage point.

In fact, the heavy rain and mud did bring great trouble to the Britannian army. The artillery and trebuchets were stuck in the swamp, and Ryan had to order most of the artillery to stay in Newland, only to bring a convenient Mobile mortars, in the heavy rain, only the precision muskets made by dwarves can be used, which means that apart from the musket grenadiers of the Old Guard, Ryan lacks firearms to form an overwhelming long-range advantage over the barbarians.

In this way, the first battle of Obien's Great Expedition was almost a decisive battle.

On this small hill named Hastings, the battle to determine the fate of King Harold of Albiion started in the morning.

It's updated, and the second one is asking for votes!
