Warhammer Divine Throne-Chapter 488 - 209, Battle of the Kulona Plains (Part 2)
The first to arrive were two hundred stationed knights from Kulona. These knights were responsible for duty, and upon receiving the message, they responded immediately, riding for three straight hours to reach here.
A standard bearing the fleur-de-lis was held high in the sky, and the appearance of the knights immediately boosted the morale of the routed human army. As the standard bearer shouted to gather towards him, hundreds of scattered soldiers on the field began to rally at the flag's location, regaining some morale.
From all directions, more militia units converged.
Seeing the national flag of Brittania appear, the already chaotic Nurgle Army began to experience internal turmoil. Some demons wanted to pursue and kill the wounded and peasants, some demons wanted to eliminate the deserters, and some demons wanted to charge at the knights' standard bearer. The Great Army of Nurgle trampled over each other in chaos; the children of the Father of Decay fought amongst themselves, trying to gain Nurgle's favor, even coming to blows with one another.
At this moment, the White Wolf Knights also arrived on the battlefield. These Yurik's knights, upon hearing there was a battle, jumped out of bed immediately, singing and shouting, rushing to the battlefield with unparalleled zeal and faith.
Boris Todbringer was among them. This Prince-Elector burned with intense willpower, as if his eyes held fire. Despite taking considerable time to arrive at the battlefield, there was not a trace of exhaustion on the Prince-Elector's face.
He had spent much effort convincing Mogiana, who was about to depart, explaining that the White Wolf Knights and Cheetah Knights should be the first to move because the White Wolf Knights had a fire in their hearts.
Losing the competition today left them with great discontent, a defeat that not only diminished the White Wolf Knights against the Holy Grail Knights but also brought shame to White Wolf Yurik!
Upon receiving the request for aid from the Merciful Goddess Church, knight assembly required time, so Boris immediately thought of ways to persuade the Lake God Witch Mogiana, who was issuing orders and assembling knights, and then promptly brought his men out.
Losing the competition was a minor matter, but if they could destroy this inexplicable Chaos Army, wouldn't it greatly restore their reputation and bring mighty glory?
The Great Demon Master of Pus of Nurgle was struggling to reform his troops. The battle-hardened Boris Prince-Elector immediately realized that this was a golden opportunity, so he drew his Holy Sword, pointing it forward: "Advance! White Wolf Knights!"
"For Yurik!" The White Wolf Knights and Cheetah Knights immediately seized this opportunity, charging directly into the chaotic ranks of the Nurgle Army. Every strike of their sturdy Warhammer turned the proud bodies of Chaos Warriors into pulp, and the cavalry lance of the Cheetah Knights pierced through the Chaos Demons' bodies, emitting a piercing crack of breaking.
"Kill them all!" the Great Demon Master of Pus roared with a wide-open mouth.
"For Yurik!"
......
The sky was beginning to lighten, and all of Kulona was in a state of emergency mobilization. Clusters of knights armored and mounted, the kingdom mobilized its resources to the fullest extent, organizing logistics for the knights.
A small team of Holy Grail Knights led by Mogiana, including the Knight Commander of the Holy Grail Knight Order Eugene, the Lake Fairy Chosen Champion Laine, and the Duke of Connet Lorne-Rio Cornwall, had already set out with over eight hundred knights and more than a thousand knight's squires. The knight army led by King Richard and several dukes would follow later.
Normally, it would take at least two days for the kingdom to fully mobilize an army, but due to the arrival of the Knights Tournament, a large number of Ranger Knights, with their equipment and provisions, stayed in Kulona. They immediately responded to the Lake God Witch's call, mounting and preparing for battle. This allowed Mogiana to rally a knight army in just two hours.
"Set out!" Mogiana shouted loudly. Hundreds of knights responded thunderously, and the densely-flagged knight order advanced in the fields. More than twenty Lake God Prophets followed Mogiana. Laine, as the Divine Chosen Champion, rode his Pure-blood Elf Warhorse beside Mogiana, who wore an iron-clad expression. She said to Laine, "Chaos Demons actually appear in the heartland of the kingdom. This is Kulona, the capital of the kingdom!"
"Chaos Demons can appear anywhere, Your Highness, the difference is in the cost of their appearance. If it's true, as said by the Merciful Goddess Church, that there is a special medicine for treating malaria, it's not surprising the Chaos Demons would rush to eliminate the special medicine," Laine replied immediately, his face full of seriousness: "The Father of Decay would definitely not miss this opportunity! It will definitely find a way to erase this formula and special medicine from this world!"
"Exactly!" Lorne rode on the Horned Eagle Beast "Biquis". This giant beast, over two meters tall, might be one of the largest Horned Eagle Beasts in the entire kingdom. It had a head and talons like a Giant Eagle, with a presence that rivaled a Legendary Powerhouse.
The Horned Eagle Beast is a creature found in the Gray Mountain Range. If the Griffin is an "eagle-headed, tiger-bodied winged beast," then the Horned Eagle Beast is an "eagle-headed, horse-bodied winged beast." It is a powerful beast not inferior to the Griffin, and only knights with supreme martial prowess and the highest virtue have a chance to tame and maintain such a fierce beast.
"I hope we can make it in time, and the battle situation isn't too dire." Laine urged his warhorse forward.
"No time for chatting, gentlemen, prepare yourselves!" Mogiana thought for a moment, seemingly making up her mind, holding the golden Potion Chalice in her hand. "In the name of the Lady, we will reach our destination as quickly as possible!"
