[Chapter 304 Thunder]

David was so sure because he had come into contact with this kind of energy fluctuation before.

At that time, Winter City was still Winter Village, with only a few wooden houses. He was attacked by an assassin while doing his daily practice at the edge of Winter Forest.

The power used by the assassin and the small prop found on him contained energy fluctuations that were basically the same as the fluctuations emitted by Sofia’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 they had expected.

With the support of the Holy Gaunt Kingdom, several lords in the surrounding area rebelled;

the army of the Holy Gaunt Kingdom was stationed on the other side of the border and could enter the territory of the Kingdom of Tiran at any time;

the lord of Baiyan City, Marquis Prior-Otto, was ill and could not handle official business, and could not even welcome His Majesty the King who came to the south to supervise the war. He could only rely on his wife, Princess Lana, the eldest daughter of His Majesty the King, to handle various affairs;

on the surface, Princess Lana represented the Tiran royal family and was responsible for various affairs of Baiyan City, which seemed to ensure that Baiyan City, a strategic location, would not be rebellious by the Holy Gaunt Kingdom.

As a result, Lana-Tiran, a princess of the Kingdom of Tiran, carried the power fluctuations of a god in the temple. What did this mean? Even the princess was rebellious by the Holy Gaunt Kingdom?

“Maybe Princess Lana was cursed by the wizards and warlocks of the Holy Gaunt Kingdom?” Jaina’s guess was not impossible. Considering that Marquis Otto had a problem with his body, this possibility also existed.

“What are you going to do? Help Sofia’s sister with treatment?”

Laura turned her head and looked at David. She found that David closed his eyes and seemed to be resting, or maybe meditating. But from the fingers that David kept tapping his thigh, it can be known that David was actually thinking.

After taking David’s hand and putting it back on his own leg, David opened his eyes again.

“During this period, no one should act alone.”

David hadn’t thought about how to deal with this matter. If it was really a “secret plot”, then it would be easy to deal with it. It wouldn’t be a big deal to help remove the curse.

But if Lana was not cursed, but really stood on the side of the temple, this matter would be complicated. If she rashly said “I noticed the traces of the temple on you”, it would be like reminding the other party to act quickly.

The most practical way is to continue to observe.

If Princess Lana’s body is in bad condition, then there is a high probability that she has been secretly plotted;

on the contrary, if Princess Lana is always alive and kicking without any abnormality, then there is a high probability that she has turned to the side of the temple.

Although David didn’t know what bargaining chips the Temple had offered to make the princess of the Kingdom of Tiran turn to him, he didn’t think it was difficult to understand. It was not uncommon for princes and princesses to stab their fathers for various reasons. Isn’t there one standing in front of him?

If it weren’t for him and Fording, Jaina would have killed her own father by now.

However, in the following days, David didn’t see Princess Lana again. The lord’s wife, who was currently handling various affairs on behalf of her husband, was so busy that she could not be seen at all.

In addition, His Majesty the King kept “deploying troops and generals”, and David often had to follow His Majesty the King to “gain knowledge”, so he didn’t know the specific situation of Princess Lana at present.

However, as the army left Baiyan City and headed to the plain not far from Baiyan City, David’s attention was completely attracted by the two overwhelming armies.

“This scene… is really spectacular!”

On the hillside at a certain distance from the battlefield, David was still sitting on his warhorse, looking at the army gradually lining up in the distance, and the army of the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt that was vaguely visible in the distance.

The two armies were facing each other on the plain. This scene was much more shocking in reality than it was on TV or computer screens.

Knights kept shuttling back and forth in the array, shouting and adjusting the formation.

Although it was a coalition army, the lords also had capable people under their command, including knights with rich combat experience. When they really arrived on the battlefield, these knights would be recognized by all soldiers and execute every order seriously.

Because it was related to whether they could return home alive, no one wanted to sleep forever in a place so far away from their hometown.

In addition, some members of the Tilan Knights appeared on the battlefield to protect several nobles. These Tilan officials would first have a dialogue with the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt, or they might even spar with each other. In

short, although both sides had already set up their formations, it was still unknown whether they could fight.

After David sat on his horse and watched for a while, Abelson in front of him suddenly motioned for him to come forward to his side.

“Your Majesty.”

“If you lead the army of Winter City to fight this battle, can you win the war?”

“The Kingdom of Tilan will win without a doubt!” In fact, David wanted to shout that Winter City was invincible, but he finally held back: “Your Majesty, do you think this war is unavoidable?”

“…” Abelson was silent for a few seconds before he confirmed David’s guess: “I came to Baiyan City to investigate in advance. This war is unavoidable. The determination of the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt exceeded my expectations.”

He came here in advance because he wanted to understand the specific situation earlier.

In fact, after issuing a call to the lords of the country, Abelson sent the best investigators and intelligence personnel of the Tilan Shadow Guard to various regions in the south to collect intelligence information. He

came here in advance to take over the intelligence information earlier and make some arrangements in advance.

The information he received made Abelson very frightened. At present, many territories in the south of the Kingdom of Tiran have been seriously infiltrated by the Temple. Some territories have even openly placed the interests of the Temple above the interests of the Kingdom of Tiran.

What he found most unacceptable was that even his daughter actually ran to the Temple!

Abelson already knew that his daughter Lana had colluded with the Temple. He sneered at his daughter’s “naive” idea.

What about using the power of the Temple to control the Otto family? Everything is just for the sake of the Kingdom of Tiran. The Temple is just a tool for her to control Baiyan City. Lana, who can say such things, is considered by Abelson as “stupid and ignorant”.

Now, Lana has been controlled by his guards knights, and Baiyan City is also in the hands of Abelson’s trusted nobles, but he still handles various affairs in the name of Marquise Lana to ensure that no outsiders know the real inside story.

After doing all this, Abelson was sure that the war with the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt was unavoidable. He no longer considered weakening the nobles and lords in the country. The two countries had a war, and as a king, he now had to consider how to lead his country to victory.

To this end, he would use all the forces he could mobilize.

Earl David Glamorgan, who was originally just brought with him to familiarize himself with the situation on the continent and see 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, may play a huge role.

“Sure enough, there is no point in talking.”

While David and Abelson were talking, the messenger sent out to communicate with the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt had already returned to his own army on horseback.

When the knight commander at the front of the battle raised the flag symbolizing the Kingdom of Tilan and made a flag signal to prepare for battle, the war was inevitable.

“Order the Tilan Knights! Attack!”

Seeing this situation, Abelson decisively issued an order to start the war.

And he did not order the Lords’ coalition to launch an attack, but directly ordered the most elite Tilan Knights to launch a surprise attack!

At the same time as the order was issued, there was a rumbling sound of thousands of horses galloping from the direction of the battlefield. A cavalry team emitting golden light suddenly appeared on the battlefield out of thin air. Then, these knights kept flashing various kinds of brilliance on their bodies. The speed of the team’s sprint became visibly faster, and they launched a charge towards the Tilan army from the side and front.

“It’s the Knights Templar!”

“Where did these guys come from?”

“Damn, it must be the magic cast by the believers of the God of Shadows, Amber!”

“When did Amber’s shadow magic become so powerful?”

Just as the Lords’ coalition urgently adjusted its formation to prepare for the impact of the Knights Templar, and the knights and cavalry were still adjusting their formations, wanting to launch an offensive from the flank. The

Tilan Knights, who had received the order to attack, suddenly rushed out.

The Knights of Tilan received an order to attack, but the commander of the Knights of Tilan decisively gave up the original target according to the situation on the battlefield and aimed at the Knights Templar who suddenly appeared. The Knights of

Tilan, who came out from the side and rear, dressed in gorgeous armor that also exuded magical brilliance, rushed towards the Knights Templar.

“In the name of the gods!”

“For the greatness of Tilan!”

Slogans, the sound of horse hooves, and the collision of armor and weapons resounded through the sky. As the two knights were completely strangled together, the lords’ coalition also responded quickly, gradually wrapping up the two knights who were fighting from the outside, preparing to cooperate with the Knights of Tilan to strangle the Knights Templar.

As the coalition gradually surrounded the two knights, the Knights Templar were like food that took the initiative to deliver themselves into the enemy’s mouth, which made Abelson in the distance smell a conspiracy.

“Something’s wrong…”

Just as Abelson was thinking about whether to order some adjustments, the originally cloudless sky suddenly became overcast, and thunder kept flashing in the thick black clouds, as if some kind of terrifying power was brewing.

After just a few seconds of silence, a violent bolt of lightning, whose thickness was unknown, struck straight towards where Abelson was!

David: “…”
