The Undying Death Knight failed to achieve the ending of the Heroic Spirit

Menicher narrowed his eyes and said nothing. One hand had already quietly reached behind him, but unexpectedly touched nothing. Only then did Menicher remember that he had already put his greatsword away.

What a pity, now Tai Lu's neck is perfectly exposed in front of him, and Minichelle is confident that he can kill him with one sword.

The fierce murderous aura was directed at Tailu beside him, causing this loyal grey-armored knight to shudder. However, Tailu still did not stand up, as if to say, "I am kneeling while he is standing. King, you should know who is the loyal minister."

Just as Menechel was considering the feasibility of killing with a knife and the possible trouble that might follow, Altria's light cough broke the stalemate.

"We'll discuss this later."

The cold aura around Menechel disappeared instantly, and it was obvious that Artoria was also afraid that he would really take action.

Shortly after Menechel stopped, Artoria announced the end of the meeting, but Artoria left Menechel alone.

Minachell was not surprised by this. When almost everyone had left, Minachell took off his head armor, shook his head and complained, "This is so annoying."

Altria raised her lips slightly: "He is still okay. The nobles in Camelot are more difficult to deal with."

After saying this, Altria's expression became serious: "If that's the case, then we should withdraw our troops now. Knights like Tylu will probably send a message back to Camelot tonight."

Altria's tone revealed helplessness, but Menechel raised his eyebrows: "Are you really planning to withdraw your troops?"

Artoria looked at Menechel with surprise.

The meaning in the girl's eyes was very clear, wasn't it you who came up with this plan?

"Although Tylu has selfish motives, it is indeed too risky to withdraw to Camelot." Minachell said as he fixed his hair that had been suppressed for too long, "So I deliberately showed a tough attitude. It would be great if he could send a message tonight."

During this period, Mina was the most irregular, retaining the habits of wild animals living in the forest all year round.

Chapter 24: Retreating to Advance is a Trap

2023-07-29

By the second night, Menechel's divine move had reached the ears of every noble in Camelot. This typical traitor who only cared about the little profits in front of him made the old ministers of two dynasties so angry that their faces turned blue.

Even if the rebels captured Camelot, it would just be family members fighting against each other. It would not actually cause any substantial harm to the nobles. At most, some of their interests would be divided up.

But how could they be willing to share what they had obtained with others? Those who could make it into the ranks of the nobility were not stupid. They knew very well that this was due to the previous step-by-step pressure that had touched the new king's bottom line. After holding a meeting, they decided to make some concessions.

So the news of Camelot's inexplicable restoration of supplies spread back to the rear city at an even faster speed, for fear that if the news was delayed, King Arthur would make a move to withdraw his troops, which would hurt his relatives and please his enemies.

The restoration of supplies also brought new life to the army that had been on standby in the back city for a long time. Those knights who had been procrastinating and avoiding fighting for various reasons also solved all their troubles overnight.

Apart from the fact that these armies were still in the hands of the nobles, the strategy of cutting off the source of the problem was generally successful.

But Artoria understood that this was her limit. If she did not fulfill her duties as a king, the nobles of Camelot would not mind welcoming a new king of a different surname.

One day, this cancer must be eradicated.

Altria looked at the good news in her hand, lowered her eyelids and made a secret decision in her heart. There was a regular knock on the door, and the girl immediately adjusted her facial expression and became solemn again.

"Please come in."

She said this in a tone that was extremely regal and majestic.

"King, Sir Menechel is here."

Outside the door was the one-armed knight Bedivere, who had just been sent out by Altria to look for someone.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Bedivere. Please let Lord Menechel come in."

Bedivere immediately bowed in return, and then the wooden door was gently closed. Taking advantage of this gap, Altria held her head with one hand to relieve her fatigue, but before the girl closed her eyes for long, the wooden door was pushed open from the outside with a rapid creaking sound.

"Sir Menachel, please observe etiquette."

Without even looking up, Artoria knew who was coming in. When the footsteps got closer, she reluctantly opened her eyes.

"I heard that we can counterattack tomorrow."

As soon as he entered the door, Minashel asked the most concerned question. He was also very loyal and concealed his identity as the disseminator of the news of a certain Knight Kai.

Artoria, who knew her sworn brother very well, of course knew who Menachel's information came from, but she didn't want to pursue this small issue. The girl nodded repeatedly, and the tuft of hair on her head swayed repeatedly, immediately attracting Menachel's full attention.

"I will arrange my knights into various knightly orders, although they are unlikely to be high-ranking positions." As if she was unaware of Menechel, Artoria continued, but the girl's tired profile looked a little red under the candlelight.

"Just asking in advance, do I want to go too?" Menechel did not look away. At this moment, his mind was filled with Merlin's explanation of love.

"Otherwise it will be difficult for you to get rid of the suspicion of false surrender."

As if feeling helpless, Altria sighed softly and buried her face in her folded hands.

Then there was no word from Menachere for a long time.

It was only then that Artoria finally noticed Menachere's disrespectful gaze and glared at him, her tone firm: "Do you have any objection?"

This overly girlish tone formed a sharp contrast with the meticulous kingly image he had just shown when facing Bedivere, which made Menechel unable to help but smile, but he quickly realized his mistake.

He clearly came here to fulfill the girl's wish, but now he is indulging in teasing the girl herself. This is really wrong.

"No." Perhaps because the candle flame was too hot, Menechel had to take off his head armor and tuck it between his arms. He smiled confidently, "I just want the king to put me under the command of some Charlu Knight."

"You are talking about Knight Tylu, right?" Altria said with some dissatisfaction: "You should remember the names of your colleagues from time to time."

"Don't worry, it won't be like that soon."

It was true that Minichelle was acting for Tailu in the parliament not long ago, but he also really wanted to kill Tailu. Anyway, Knight Tailu had fulfilled his historical responsibility, and now it was time for him to withdraw from the stage of history.

When it comes to the matter of getting rid of a donkey after it has done its job, Menachere is extremely skilled.

In fact, not only Knight Tailu, but all the knights on the left side have no intention of staying. He will take back the military power for Altria.

"Don't go too far, or it will be hard for me to end it."

Altria obviously understood what Menachele meant. She warned him worriedly, "After all, those nobles are somewhat dissatisfied with me."

"Don't worry, sooner or later they won't be dissatisfied with you."

As Menechel spoke, he curled up the corners of his mouth and revealed a crazy smile. Altria watched this scene silently and couldn't help but reveal a long-lost smile that only existed in Menechel's memory.

Quiet and beautiful.

I didn't want to share it with anyone, I just wanted to watch it over and over again by myself. This was probably the twisted feeling that Minachell was experiencing at that moment.

——"But this has gone far beyond the level of repaying a favor. Young man, you are in love."

The deep and magnetic voice of Teacher Merlin seemed to echo in his ears again. After confirming again and again that this was not a prank created by Teacher Merlin using magic, Minachel immersed himself in the memories that were overwhelming him with peace of mind.

Some of the images were very blurry, but the only thing that remained clear was the charming, happy smile on the face of a young girl as she lowered her head and expressed her wish that "there would be no disaster victims in the world."

To this day, Menechel can no longer remember whether he was attracted by the beautiful world created by the girl, or by the happy look on the girl's face when she was dreaming of that beautiful world.

And this is probably what love is.

As he thought about it, a gentle smile appeared on his face, which was different from the usual one. However, this strange scene also made Altria freeze.

"It's getting late."

Altria coughed lightly a few times, her eyes a little vague.

"Well, see you tomorrow, Altria."

As the savior of Camelot, King Arthur Altria was destined not to be allowed to have a young love affair like a normal girl.

Chapter 25 The Security Captain is also the Captain

2023-07-29

Perhaps King Arthur's power was not as unbearable as Menechel had imagined. At least Menechel had successfully infiltrated the Knights of Teluo, and Teluo even had to give him an important position with a sour face - the Chief of Border Town Patrol Knights.

This name, which sounds very high-sounding, was just thought of by Menichel. In fact, Menichel was just a patrol captain who was in charge of five foot knights.

Maybe it was because of the consideration that "it would be difficult to conceal evidence of a crime committed in the city", but Artoria actually made the rare move of organizing the Knights of Tailu into an advance force, mainly launching harassment attacks, in preparation for Lanmarok to cut off the enemy's food supply.

So, with great reluctance, Tailu took his 300 knights and Menechel to defend the outer city of the rear city.

But this guy is indeed a war avoider. After being stationed in the outer city for several days, Menechel has caught several knights having secret meetings with local civilians during his patrols, but Tailu still plans to keep his troops in place. Except for the initial appointment, Menechel has never met Knight Commander Tailu again.

Apart from a few small-scale harassments by the enemy, this team of 302 people became temporary citizens of the outer city.

Tonight it was Menechel's turn to lead the patrol. Although the calm weather over the past few days had worn down the morale of his five knights, Menechel still insisted on patrolling fully armed.

As he passed the low city wall, Menechel could clearly hear the rustling sound of gravel falling to the ground. With the light of a torch held by a knight beside him, Menechel could clearly see the condition of the city wall.

There were several obvious scratches on the old city wall due to disrepair, and the gravel just now came from those recently added scratches.

Someone climbed over the wall these days.

Menashel could only make a rough judgment, at least these traces were not left when he inspected last time.

It can't be that it was left here just today - this thought suddenly occurred to Menechel. He suddenly became alert. The dragon armor on his body gave Menechel an unparalleled sense of security.

In order to give some sense of security to the knights who were yawning at the moment, Menechel did not immediately grasp the hilt of the sword. He had some good ideas at this time.

After patrolling for a few more miles, when there was a hint of light in the sky, the younger brother who had taken turns holding the torch all night finally extinguished the torch impatiently and threw it on the ground.

The footsteps and the sound of the stick hitting the ground came almost at the same time, but Menachel could clearly distinguish the direction of the footsteps. The stick was thrown to the side, and the deliberately suppressed footsteps came from behind.

"Then tonight's patrol mission is over, and everyone can have a good rest."

Menechel did not hide his laziness. He pretended nothing had happened and suppressed the approaching footsteps with a calm tone.

I hope the person who comes here doesn't think too much and attack him first.

Thinking so, Minashel adjusted his position step by step, trying to face the direction where the sound came from.

The dimming light caused by the extinguishing of the torches provided a good protection for the attackers. In the almost integrated darkness, Menachel clearly caught a flash of cold light.

He turned sideways to avoid the blood that splashed out like a fountain, and then there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. Unlike Menechel who was well prepared, the other four knights were caught off guard by the sudden assassination.

Then there were a few more puffs, and the knights who had no time to make a sound followed in the footsteps of the former.

The number of lurkers was slightly higher than expected.

Menechel calmly grasped the hilt of the greatsword behind him. He estimated that there would be no more than ten people coming. Based on Menechel's experience of staying in the rebel army for a few days, he knew that there were no noteworthy opponents in a one-on-one fight, and even if there were ten of them, they would not pose any threat.

After quickly taking care of the five knights, the lurkers did not attack again, but there was no sign of them leaving either.

Minasel, who had no sense of tension at all, even missed Knight Tailu who was about to enter heaven. At this time, Knight Tailu should not have woken up yet.

"If we wait any longer, it will be dawn."

Menachel said, with a hint of urging in his tone, if it was any later, Teluko ​​would have to get up. Although the straw bag who had taken refuge with the nobles had no fighting power, it would be very troublesome if he was called by him.

There was another moment of silence, and then the sound of chaotic footsteps spread from in front of Menechel to the surroundings. Menechel suddenly drew his sword, and the heavy sword made a strong sound of breaking through the air and slashed towards somewhere in front of him. The sound of metal clashing was heard, and then a quick and short cry of grief was heard, which was immediately stopped by the sword.

He tried to use the sound of his footsteps to hide the sound of the sword breaking through the air, but his killing intent was too strong. Menichel raised his lips slightly, but this time he didn't have time to avoid the spurting blood, which soaked his armor.

Clicking his tongue in annoyance, Menechel dodged the sword attacking from behind and reached out to grasp the hilt of the sword at the moment of their crossing. The guard made of dragon armor easily blocked the sword edge, and Menechel crushed the blade with a slight force.

He held the sword fragment in his horizontal hand and threw it to the side, forcing the enemy charging from the left to stop their attack.

"Keep your voice down. It won't be good if you wake others up."

Menichel spoke slowly. He was enjoying the hunting-like battle at the moment. Only such a battle could show his strength - this made him fully aware of his own morbidity, but the corners of his mouth still couldn't help but rise.

The calmness that came from the depths of his soul made all his enemies who faced him feel the huge gap in strength.

The sun had already appeared in the distance, and several blurry figures gradually became visible. Apart from the man lying on the ground with his head and body separated, there were three people left.

Knowing the difficulty of the situation, several people immediately scattered and fled. Seeing this situation, Menechel narrowed his eyes and flew forward, swinging the sword in his hand and beheaded another person.

With the greatsword in his hand, Menechel slapped the headless corpse heavily. However, as he deliberately used less force, the corpse did not explode into flesh and blood, but instead smashed like a cannonball towards the second person who was about to climb over the wall.

The sudden heavy blow from behind caused him to lose his balance and fall off the wall. Menechel took advantage of the opportunity and pierced his body with a sword.

He bent down and picked up the weapons left behind by the two men. They were uniform knight swords with no special features.

It only took a moment for the third lurker to disappear. But Menacheer Gua didn't bother to pay attention to the insignificant third person. He picked up the body of the man with the chest and abdomen pierced, carried it on his shoulders, and trotted in one direction before dawn.

That was the tent belonging to Knight Commander Tailu.

Chapter 26: The Highest Level of Frame-up

At this time, the sky had just begun to brighten, but the outer city had already become bustling. This morning, a great event suddenly happened in this small city - Knight Commander Tailu was fortunately killed last night, which put a full question mark on his sinful life.

"You mean to say that four enemies sneaked into the city last night and killed five guarding knights right under your nose, and also killed Knight Commander Tailu and his guards."
