Gate of Apocalypse

(Two in One Long Section)

Chapter 242: The Showdown in Japan!

Being a centurion brings a lot of privileges to Chen Xiaocai - only relative to this era, of course.

That brain was chosen by Chen Xiaocai to be his own servant - a knight's servant is a position many envy.

Looking at a hundred soldiers dressed in Norman Corps gear standing in front of them, Chen Xiaocai still earned a few points - but this one, after seeing these guys line up loose, dissipated a lot.

Starting that evening, Chen Xiaoliang and the tire spare tires were divided into two shifts, secretly supervising the movement of Wang William's commander-in-chief.

To be precise, it's covert protection.

King William seemed to be a remarkable military commander of his time - as did future generations.

The next day, Chen Xiaoxiao participated in a military conference with tire spares.

This kind of medieval army, tumultuous military meetings, completely ruined Chen Xiaolian's fantasies about romanticism as seen from fantasy novels such as "knights," “medieval wars," “cavalry regiments,” etc.

It's like a bunch of dirt punches!

In contrast, the Taylor Buddhist knight, who can sing a few verses, is more like a nobleman.

And the real noblemen, Chen Xiaocai, saw a noble leader from the Brittany Legion in France... the guy had a strong odor, but he didn't know how much incense to use.

Chen Xiaocao unfortunately stood beside him, almost not smoked to death.

And this guy likes to wave his arms to make some mysterious speeches.

Basically, one morning of military discussions, you can sum up the subject:

How we divide England after the war triumphs!

This really opens Chen Xiaoliang's eyes!

Although they did win this battle in history...

But right now, before the showdown started, everyone started scraping their hands, and even you fought over my big money, almost drawing a sword to fight for a piece of land that might not yet belong to you.

This is King William's army that has won Hastings?!

If these guys are stupid.

Chen Xiaocai even suspected that King Harold of London... how stupid would that have to be to lose to such a group of people?!

King William had been sitting there not talking much, but came out to suppress it with his authority when several noblemen almost pulled their fists against each other.

It was Merlin who did not make much of a statement at the Conference.

Chen Xiaocai noticed that Merlin's position is next to King William's - obviously, Merlin is the core belly of King William from this position!

What surprised Chen Xiaolian was that Tyler Ford, who was so sick that he was so good at kissing his ass, was in a very good position.

In addition, King William's heart includes his two brothers, Old and a guy named Robert.

These two are King William's brothers… they do not yet have a high status… but once King William becomes King of England, their status naturally rises to a higher level, and most of them become duke or higher.

Chen Xiaoliang's assessment of these two is... tough, Wuyong!

These two seem to be typical French knights, and the marching marksmanship is pretty good.

silent oligarchy.

Chen Xiaocai asked after the meeting, basically, the backbone of King William's Norman Legion was controlled by his two brothers.

This does not seem to differ much from the home of the Eastern dynasty.

The royal army seems to be one of the traditions of the European dynasty.

However, Chen Xiaoliang also noticed a detail.

King William's two brothers, and Taylor Buddha, were laughing, but when faced with Merlyn, there was virtually no communication.

In fact... all the generals in the entire ledger seem to have a distant attitude toward Merlin, and even... some have shown a slight rejection, even... disgust, or fear?

That's weird.

And the big head worked this time.

Being a member of the Norman army for a long time, he had joined the mercenary army from home in France, and his head seemed to know many of the army's classics.

“A lot of people here don't like that Merlin. Because... he's a weird guy. ”

Chen Xiaoliang was somewhat curious: “Why? ”

“Because…” the divine colour of the brain seemed a little afraid, and looked around, as if he were afraid to be overheard by someone, so he lowered his voice: “Because… everyone legends that this Merlin is a wizard! ”

Wizard?

In medieval Europe, that's what magicians mean.

Chen Xiaojiao came to interest.

Merlin... Magician!

It fits perfectly with the self-contained attribute of the name.

The name Merlin... seems like a magician! If he wasn't, that would be weird.

“Wizard?” Chen Xiaocai thought about it and asked: “Do you have any conclusive evidence? Or has anyone seen him do magic? ”

“Er...” The head is hard to see.

After all, he was only a small figure. Before following Chen Xiaolian, he could only hang out in the mercenary corps and could not even enter the Norman Legion compound.

Even Merlyn himself has only seen it a few times from afar. Getting close to Merlyn is also thanks to now becoming Chen Xiaocao's cavalier.

But this guy still provided some interesting news.

“Merlin's nickname is… from a freak in the woods.” The complexion of his head and the tone of his expression at this moment remind Chen Xiaoliang of the movie Harry Potter he had seen.

Well, the guys in the movie, when they were talking about Voldemort, were just like that in awe of the scary mouth.

“This guy, nobody knows where he's from. Only that he came out of the woods before following King William, perhaps a wildling.

But legend has it that he can turn into a beast and talk to animals, in animal language! He can also talk to big trees, let trees and animals help him get the message across.

The scariest part is, he'll curse! Legend has it that whoever offends him will be cursed by him and will not die well!

And... he can predict!! He can predict the death of others...

Whether God knows is a prophecy or a curse! ”

Chen Xiaolian smiled: "Do you have any proof? ”

“Uh...” the head thought: "We waited for the sea in Normandy, and the pirates from Sicily were ready, but Merlin convinced King William to stop crossing the sea.

And two days later, a storm hit us!

The storm lasted a month!! ”

Chen Xiaocai laughed: “Isn't this... a good thing? If he hadn't stopped you... you'd already be buried under the sea. ”

“What are you... weren't you in the army?” The head is confused.

Chen Xiaoliang coughed twice and stared: “Stop talking nonsense! Then what?”

“Uh... then... then he predicted exactly when the storm would end.” Brain shook its head: “There are rumors in the army that the storm was not Merlin's prophecy at all... it was created by him using witchcraft! ”

After a pause, his head said: “Anyway, the old saying is good, wizards always bring bad luck! ”

Chen Xiaoliang was speechless.

These don't seem to indicate Merlin is a magician...

Can accurately predict a storm… This kind of thing is mostly not magic.

I'm just familiar with climate knowledge.

……

About whether Merlin is a magician or not... whether she is magical or not, Chen Xiaolian also discussed with the tire spare.

The three speculated differently.

The three of them actually fought side by side with Merlin.

Merlin was also killed in the ambush… he behaved more like a warlord than some magician witch.

If he is a magician, how can he face the muddy road of heavy rain and be helpless?

Why don't you get a magic teleportation array to teleport people directly when the guide is on the wrong path?

Uh... okay. Chen Xiaocao felt that he was mostly an occupational illness as a writer.

But it is true that generals in the army are reluctant to deal with Merlin.

Besides, I heard Merlin herself didn't have a squire!

He indicated that he did not need a waiter and generally did not like people entering his tent.

Maybe... because he has some secrets of his own that are not easily known?

Chen Xiaocai remembered seeing Merlin for the first time and went into his tent. This man was obviously right in front of him, but it seemed as if he was blinded by some strange power.

That's weird.

“I wish he was a magician.” The attitude of the tires is clear: “He is on our side, the stronger the comrades, the easier this battle will be. ”

Both Chen Xiaoliang and the spare tire agreed.

There is also a problem…

There are no other players in the enemy camp!

At the very least, it has not appeared so far.

Not encountered during the ambush.

Nor did they use similar beheading tactics to assassinate King William.

This surprised Chen Xiaolian a little.

Later this afternoon, Chen Xiaolian suddenly heard a hurried military call coming from outside the tent!

He immediately flushed out with the tire spare.

We saw a lot of soldiers running in a hurry, and a team of archers rushed out and approached the wall!

“What happened?” Chen Xiaolian saw Tyleford run over and this guy ran and plugged his sword into the sheath.

“Londoners! The army of Londoners is here!!” Tyleford glanced at Chen Xiaocai and continued to run out.

Chen Xiaoliang and tire spare tires immediately followed...

……

The Londoners did arrive.

In fact, when they arrived in the vicinity of Hastings, they were discovered by the French Rangers of the Norman Legion.

After a small-scale battle between the outpost and the Rangers, the Normans took advantage of some of the bargains and then withdrew decisively to deliver the letter.

The Village of King William's Army was built on a hillside on the Hastings Plains.

And Harold's army chose a hillbilly not far away as a camp.

The hill has a pretty good terrain and is easy to guard and hard to attack. King William had also considered where to build the camp.

But because of the large number of cavalry in King William's army, he abandoned the hill and chose a more expansive plain.

……

Chen Xiaolei and the crowd squeezed into front of the wooden mansion, across the high wooden fence, looking at the far hills, a team of London troops appeared on it... they arrived from the back.

After occupying the high post, the formation quickly opened up.

The black-pressed queue was so dense that a huge shield was erected on one side, the iconic Cross Badge Shield.

And one of the flags was picked out!

On high duty, the Londoners began to cheer.

“That's King Harold... Ah, I'm talking about the Pseudo King.” Next to Chen Xiaoliang was his big head. This guy stuck to Chen Xiaoliang's side and squeezed out a gap, looking curiously at the appearance: “That's the king's flag! He's on the battlefield himself! ”

Watching the London Army cheer on the high ground, the sound came from afar.

There were also some farmers' army guys who, at first glance, ran in line to the front of the front, turned around collectively, and then someone took off their pants and revealed their white flower asses in the direction of the wooden villa.

This humiliating move immediately provoked the anger of the Norman Army Soldiers after the Castle.

Someone raised the sword axe and shouted loudly. The curses in French fluttered.

Chen Xiaolian was not disturbed by these voices, and he watched Harold's army carefully!

……

Harold's army appears to be large.

Like most armies of this era, there are few regular professional soldiers.

Most of them were recruited peasant armies, a mob of unarmed people, and the weapons in their hands were very mixed and simple to wear, with most wearing robes and no protective equipment.

Regular armies, on the other hand, are at the forefront of the array.

That's a row of shield walls. It is clear that the formation is more dense and rigorous.

“These should be Harold's royal army.” Chen Xiaolian lowered his voice.

“Yes!”

A voice came from behind Chen Xiaocai.

Chen Xiaoliang turned around and saw Merlin's cold face.

No one next to Merlyn walked to Chen Xiaocai, glanced at him and stood beside him - his head was very knowledgeable and immediately retreated to his side.

“Harold's King's Close Guard… He has two regiments, the 'Dragon Flag Corps’ and the 'Combatant Corps’. This is Harold's most elite power. In addition, his army was composed of private militias that served as aristocrats in a number of localities, as well as a number of liberal militias.” Merlin said quickly, "Those people are not worried enough. All we have to do is defeat Harold's Royal Army and kill his' Dragon Flag Corps' and ‘Fighter Corps', and we will win this war.

Harold's reign is not solid! If we lose his elite lineage, the other nobles will not necessarily continue to submit to his reign... and our chance will come! ”

Chen Xiaoliang suddenly stunned.

He found an interesting detail!

From Merlin's point of view, it seems that… he does not believe that the war here can solve Harold once and for all.

Seems to listen to him… as long as Harold's clan forces can be annihilated or severely wounded in the next war.

Then… the purpose of this war was achieved.

Harold, having lost his lineage, was unable to continue to rule other nobles.

And then... King William seemed to be able to slowly encroach on each other's kingdom.

As if… this is a long-term plan!

But... that's not how history works!!

……

Chen Xiaoliang quickly turned his mind and realized what the problem was.

Historically, this battle was King William's biggest and last invasion of England!

After this battle, King William entered London with little resistance!

Because in history...

In the Battle of Hastings... King Harold, was killed on the battlefield!

This is a very unusual small probability event!

In fact, very few kings have died in wars in European history, wars between nations!

At this moment, even the ambitious King William himself would never have thought he could have killed Harold directly on the battlefield!

Because at this moment, there is not much difference between the two sides.

Harold's army is about 8,000.

And King William's strength… is similar to that of the other!

And King William is still a guest!

The force is comparable and the other side is the home field.

Even in his dreams, King William would not have thought that he could have killed Harold directly on the battlefield.

His most optimistic anticipation was to defeat Harold's army, preferably to rebuild Harold's lineage and shake his dominance.

Then he was slowly devouring each other's land.

This is King William's plan under normal circumstances!

……

“The Battle of Hastings… Harold died and King William entered London with little resistance… it was an accident! ”

Chen Xiaoliang suddenly figured out this key point!!

So...

If you fight for the throne...

If you want to contribute to this battle of Hastings and achieve the same glorious victory as in history,

So... the key thing is...

Kill Harold on the battlefield!!

Otherwise... I'm afraid the war situation will go in an unknown direction!!

After all, Harold is home!

He is the king of England now.

If he doesn't die, let him go back to London… with London's strong city defense… King William's French cavalry may not be able to attack!

Cavalry is not good at siege, as the whole world knows.

And Harold has a natural advantage, and he's king now!

He has lost his army, and if he is relieved, he can continue to recruit and mobilize more troops!

And William is different. He's a guest army!

One army dies, one less! Not replenished!

Chen Xiaoliang immediately told the tires and spare tires on the team channel.

The eyes of both of them are also a Rin!

To accurately kill each other's Supreme Commander, the other's King, on a battlefield close to 20,000 people in a mixed war!!

This……

This task seems to be difficult!!

And beside King Harold, there is a great possibility that there are game participants to protect him!

At this time……

A knight came from across the hill!

He had a spear in his hand and a flag on his spear tip!

Soon, the gates of the wooden villages opened and a knight from the Norman Legion rushed out.

Chen Xiaoliang identified this as Robert, King William's younger brother.

Robert wore the knight's full body armor, rushed out and took a photo of the knight opposite him.

Then he brought back a war book.

“Go back and get ready.” Merlin's face shows a glimmer of joy: “Looks like tomorrow is the time for a duel! This Harold is as anxious as the legend says! He just arrived and can't wait to send someone to fight the war! He's in such a hurry!

If he stays here for a few days, get some rest and maybe a better chance of winning!

Too bad... he's in such a hurry!

Looks like the showdown is tomorrow. ”

Merlin said, floating away, he was alone and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Chen Xiaolian glanced at Luntian spare tire: “Let's go back too. ”
