GOR Chapter 248: Knight’s Glory
Before the break of dawn, the soldiers within the wooden stronghold had been anxiously preparing the their armours and bundles of sharp spears were carried out
The squires led the warhorses out and carefully placed saddles upon thehts equipped in armour that made them look like tin cans were seated there as they rested They quietly built up their strength as they rested On the side, their squires carefully polished their swords and sharpened the edges of the blade Then, they anxiously went to check up on the Knights’ lances to see if there were any problems
For breakfast, they had broth with meat
Naturally, each pot of broth that the elite soldiers of the Norman armies took was added with a few spoonful of Merlin’s speciallyeaten breakfast with meat, the soldiers’ morale was lifted
When the horn was sounded, the camp finally displayed the hard ath this was an army of the medieval period… an army was still an army!
…
Chen Xiaolian’s 100-man team ithin the Nor since been distributed to the Williauards Chen Xiaolian felt soened to be part of Chen Xiaolian’s teaether with Tian Lie was Sasha
However, in this war using cold weapons, Sasha’s hacking skills could only serve as a decoration – naturally, that was only when facing off against other game participants Sasha was at the very least an Awakened whose body had been enhanced before He was at least stronger than the average person
Chen Xiaolian saw King Williaenerals
The commanders of the troops from Brittany and Flanders had returned to their respective armies These 2 allies who came from France would be responsible for offense and defence in the battle
The Norman armies would play the part of the central army Additionally, they have the mercenary army to act as the reserve
Chen Xiaolian becahtyhe had been expecting fro William wore his armour – military leaders in this Western period would personally participate and engage in battles The commander who remained behind the army would not receive the support of the ar Williaenerals within the arht red cloak while his two brothers, Odo and Robert wore black coloured cloaks
Ahts It consisted of over 100 Knights and over 200 squires who rode on warhorses – in total, there were over 300 mounted soldiers Within this era in Europe, this team could be considered as a very powerful tea, the doors to the wooden stronghold were opened up and the army marched out in a line They marched onto the battlefield
Beneath the hill where Harold was stationed was an open area of plains
The light of dawn descended upon the lands and King William’s army encroached upon the surface of the plains like a swarm of ants The swords and spears in the soldiers’ hands were akin to a forest The thousands of feet tra sounds to es of thunder!
If one were to observe the scene fro William’s army had formed a formation that was a standard in the medieval period
The Norman army took the central location, the allied Brittany arht
The ar forward It was only after they were close to the arrow range of the distant hill that they finally stopped
Atop the hill, Harold’s army had already for the hill, one layer after another, one column after another! These London soldiers raised their ovate shields and stacked theether to form a shield wall
Under the rays of the sun, the cross-shaped crest on the shields flashed out! The spears hidden behind the shields brought a chill down the spines of their ene William’s army was more abundant compared to Harold’s army from London
Be it the Norman army or their two allies, they were all equipped with more than one weapon They also had ly no mounted soldiers in Harold’s army – Harold had rushed his way out from London Thus, his army consisted only of infantry soldiers
Chen Xiaolian was thankful that during this period of tibow archers’ had yet tothe distance between the two sides, King Willialish longbow archers
The sound of horns kept resonating through the air without respite
At this point in tiized They used their puhten up their tea back and forth to keep the spirit of their team up
Chen Xiaolian noticed that teaetting in line, they marched out from both sides and formed a line before the rows of infantry soldiers!
After the teaan pulling out their arrows and inserted thein!” Bei Tai took a deep breath and his face revealed a trace of excite He carefully stared at Harold’s ar William rode out until he was in front of his arht sword and roared out with all his ed his horse to move around before his armies as he used this final chance to use a valiant voice to drum up his armies’ morale
Truth be told, his armies number up to 8,000 men and they were all spread out in formation across the open plains Even if he were to use all his ht, his sound could not possibly be heard by everyone
However, as he sat on his horse, his red coloured cloak billowed in the wind
His voice that was cut off by the wind fell interh he could not e of King Willia Willia Williaht or a psychological effect – see up his arh upon the hill The soldiers fro the shouts from the other side, the Nor outdone The Nor out French, Italian, all fore and expletives were hurled out
Chen Xiaolian suddenly let out a smile He said, “Is this that ti spirit? Bei Tai, let our tea!”
Bei Tai suppressed his desire to laugh out He strode out, stood before the team and shouted loudly, “Manchester United!!!”
The 100out loudly in unison
This was the lyrics that Lun Tai and Bei Tai had taught theh it only consisted of a feords
“Glory, glory, Man United…”
…
The orderly and unifor theeven spread out to the other side…

“I… did Iin the first row of her teahter
Phoenix stepped forhile holding onto a bow in one hand She used Monster’s shoulder to gain support as she peered into the distance
In the distance, the interlory, Man United…” spread over and the corners of Phoenix’s lips involuntarily curled up
“Is this a spoof by an Awakened? Manchester’s song?” Phoenix narrowed her eyes and said, “Could it be that Xiaolian fellow?”
…
King Willia by Chen Xiaolian’s 100- had more momentum behind it compared to the lanced at thee abilities
After that, King William pulled out his sword and pointed it up to the sky!
“For the King!”
The one positioned closest to Williaht Tayloff This felloas the first to shout out vigorously
His shout immediately received support as the countless soldiers and officers began roaring
“For the king!”
“For the king!”
After the shouts of expletives were changed to shouts of the phrase, the sounds becaed his horse to lanced at his two brothers ere also on horseback and said, “Odo, those London felloill hide on the hill and be on the defensive! It seeive the orders, !”
Robert answered in a low tone
“Archers!”
Robert harru toward the tea the orders given by the officers, the archers pulled out the arrows placed before them Then, they drew the bows and positioned them toward the sky
“God is with us!”
The officers of the archers shouted!
Weng!
A hail of arrows flew out un!
…
The hail of arrohich blotted out the sun descended like a swarm of locusts!
On top of the hill, the soldiers within Harold’s armies raised up their shields to form what seemed like a tortoise’s shell
