Chapter 304 Thunder
David can be so sure because he has been exposed to this energy fluctuation before.
At that time, Rinwinter City was still Rinwinter Village, with only a few wooden houses. When he was doing daily practice on the edge of Rinwinter Forest, he was attacked by assassins.
The power used by the assassin, as well as the small prop found on his body, contains energy fluctuations that are basically the same as those emitted by Sophia's sister Lana.
After listening to David's words, several people looked at each other and realized that the situation in Baiyan City seemed to be more complicated than originally expected.
With the support of the Holy Gunter Kingdom, several lords rebelled;
The army of the Holy Gunter Kingdom is stationed on the other side of the border, and can enter the territory of the Kingdom of Tilan at any time;
The lord of White Rock City, Marquis Prior-Otto, was sick and unable to handle official duties, and could not even welcome His Majesty the King who came to the south to oversee the battle. His wife, Princess Lana, the eldest daughter of His Majesty the King, could only handle various affairs. ;
On the surface, Princess Lana represents the royal family of Tilan and is in charge of various affairs of White Rock City. It seems that she can ensure that the strategically important White Rock City will not be rebelled by the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt.
As a result, Lana Tilan, the princess of the Kingdom of Tilan, has the power fluctuations of a certain **** in the temple. What does this mean? Even the princess was instigated by the Holy Gunter Kingdom?
"Maybe Princess Lana was cursed by the mages and warlocks of the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt?" Jaina's guess is not impossible, and it is possible that there is a physical problem with Marquis Otto.
"What are you going to do? Help Sophia's sister heal?"
Laura turned her head to look at David, and found that David seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, or he might be meditating, but from David's fingers tapping his thighs, it could be known that David was actually thinking.
After taking David's hand and putting it back on his own lap, David opened his eyes again.
"During this time, everyone should not act alone."
David didn't think about how to deal with this matter. If he was really 'reckoned', then things would be easy to handle. It's not a big deal to help solve a curse or something.
But if Lana was not cursed, but really stood on the side of the temple, the matter would be complicated, and he said rashly, "I noticed traces of the temple on you", which was simply a reminder The other party hastened to do it.
The most practical way is to continue to observe.
If Princess Lana's health is in bad condition, then there is a high probability that she has been plotted against;
Conversely, if Princess Lana is still alive and kicking without any abnormalities, then there is a high probability that she has fallen to the side of the temple.
Although David didn't know what bargaining chip the temple offered to make the princess of Tilan Kingdom fall to him, he didn't think it was difficult to understand. The prince and princess backhanded him for various reasons. It's not uncommon for my father to stab me, isn't there just one in front of me?
If it wasn't for herself and Fording, Jaina should have killed her own father by now.
However, in the days that followed, David never saw Princess Lana again. The wife of the lord who was currently handling various affairs on behalf of her husband was so busy that she never saw anyone.
In addition to His Majesty's constant 'dispatch of troops', David often has to 'grow knowledge' with His Majesty the King, so he doesn't know the current specific situation of Princess Lana.
However, as the army left White Rock City and headed to the plain not far from White Rock City, David's attention was completely attracted by the overwhelming two armies.
"This kind of scene...is really spectacular!"
On the hillside a certain distance from the battlefield, David was still sitting on the horse, watching the army that gradually lined up in the distance, as well as the faintly visible army of the Holy Gunter Kingdom farther away.
Two armies confront each other on the plain, this scene looks much more shocking in reality than it looked on TV or computer screen.
There are knights constantly shuttled and shouted in the formation, constantly adjusting the formation.
Although it is a coalition army, the lords also have capable people, and there are many knights with rich combat experience among them. When they are actually on the battlefield, these knights will be recognized by all soldiers and earnestly execute every order.
Because this is related to whether you can go home alive, no one wants to sleep forever in a place so far away from home.
In addition, some members of the Knights of Tilan appeared on the battlefield protecting several nobles. These high-ranking officials of Tilan will first have a dialogue with the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt, or they may be opposite.
In short, although the two sides have already set up a battle, it is still unknown whether they can fight.
After David sat on the horse and looked at it for a while, Abelson in front suddenly motioned him to come forward to him.
"Your Majesty."
"If you lead the army of Winter City to take charge of this battle, can you win this war?"
"The Kingdom of Tilan will surely win!" In fact, David wanted to shout that Winter City is invincible, but in the end he held back: "Your Majesty thinks this war is inevitable?"
"..." Abelson was silent for a few seconds before affirming David's guess: "I came to White Rock City to investigate in advance. This war is inevitable. The determination of the Holy Gunter Kingdom exceeded my expectations. .”
He rushed over ahead of time, just wanting to know the specific situation earlier.
In fact, after issuing a summons order to the lords of the country, Abelson sent the best investigators and the intelligence personnel of Tilan Shadowguard to collect intelligence information in various southern regions.
Come here in advance, also want to take over the intelligence information earlier, and then make some arrangements in advance.
The information he received shocked Abelson. At present, many territories in the south of the Kingdom of Tilan have been heavily infiltrated by the Temple, and some territories have even put the interests of the Temple above the interests of the Kingdom of Tilan. on.
What made him feel unacceptable the most was that even his own daughter ran to the temple!
Abelson already knew that his daughter Lana had colluded with the temple, and he scoffed at his daughter's 'naive' thoughts.
The use of the power of the temple to control the Otto family is only for the sake of the Kingdom of Tilan. The temple is just a tool she uses to control White Rock City. Lana who can say such words is identified by Abelson as 'Stupid and unaware'.
Now, Lana has been controlled by his Knights of the Guards, and White Rock City is also under the control of Abelson's trusted nobles, but it is still adjudicating and handling various affairs in the name of the marquise Lana to ensure that there will be no Outsiders know the real inside story.
After doing all this, Abelson also confirmed that the war with the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt was unavoidable, and he no longer considered such things as weakening the nobles and lords in the country. When a war broke out between the two countries, he, as the king, The thing to consider now is how to lead your country to victory.
To this end, he will use all the power he can mobilize.
Earl David Glamorgan, who was originally just brought with him to familiarize himself with the situation on the mainland and witness the "real war", was also included in his consideration.
The Winter Knights are very strong, but the number is too small, Abelson did not expect any heroic performance.
But those Quinjet fighters, and Arcee, who can transform into a pink fighter, might be able to play a huge role.
"Sure enough, the conversation doesn't make any sense."
Just as David and Abelson were talking, the envoy sent to communicate with the Holy Kingdom of Gunter had already returned to his army on horseback.
When the knight commander at the front of the battle line raised the flag symbolizing the kingdom of Tiran and made a semaphore to prepare for battle, the war was inevitable.
"Order the Knights of Tiran! Attack!"
Seeing this situation, Abelson decisively issued an order to start the war.
And instead of ordering the coalition forces of the lords to launch an attack, they directly asked the most elite Tiran Knights to launch a surprise attack!
At the same time as the order was issued, there was the sound of rumbling horses and galloping horses from the direction of the battlefield, and a cavalry team exuding golden brilliance appeared on the battlefield so suddenly and out of thin air, and then the knights kept flickering With all kinds of brilliance, the speed of the team's sprint became faster visible to the naked eye, and they launched a charge towards Tilan's army from the front side.
"It's the Knights Templar!"
"Where did these guys come from?"
"Damn it, it must be a magic spell performed by followers of the shadow **** Umber!"
"When did Umber's shadow magic become so powerful?"
Just as the lord coalition forces urgently adjusted their formation to prepare for the impact of the Knights Templar, the knights and cavalry were still adjusting their formation and wanted to launch an offensive from the flanks.
The Tilan Knights, who had already received the order to attack, suddenly came out.
The Knights of Tiran received an order to attack, and the commander of the Knights resolutely gave up the original target according to the situation on the battlefield, and aimed at the Knights Templar who suddenly appeared.
The Thiran Knights, who came out from the side and rear, rushed towards the Templars wearing gorgeous armor that also exuded magical brilliance.
"In the name of the gods!"
"For the greatness of Tiran!"
The sound of slogans, the sound of horseshoes, and the collision of armor and weapons resounded through the sky. As the two knights were completely strangled together, the lord's coalition quickly responded, gradually enveloping the two fighting knights from the outside. Prepare to strangle the Knights Templar together with the Knights of Tiran.
As the coalition forces gradually surrounded the two knights, the Knights Templar seemed to be actively feeding themselves into the food of the enemy's mouth, which made Abelson smell a conspiracy in the distance.
"Something is wrong..."
Just when Abelson was thinking about whether to order some adjustments, the originally cloudless clear sky suddenly became cloudy, and thunder flashed non-stop in the thick black clouds, as if some kind of terror was brewing the power of.
Just stunned for a few seconds, a violent thunderbolt of unknown thickness struck straight towards Abelson's position!
David: “…”
