Chapter 24: War to retake the fortress of Dekker Reis

Three days later, Artoria stood before the assembled soldiers wearing armour.

"Everyone, the Saxons disturbed our homeland and committed many heinous crimes. Now, we will expel them from our homeland and defend our people in Britain!"

"Expel the Saxons! Defend Britain!" Wu Ming raised the Exsilver holy sword and shouted loudly.

"Expel the Saxons! Defend Britain!" The crowd also raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

"Send my orders, march!" Artoria gave the order, and the army began marching towards Fort Dekker Reis in northern Britain.

Since Dekker Reis Fortress was not too far away, Artoria only needed half a day to reach the nearest town to Dekker Reis Fort, Liyk City.

The City lord of this place established himself as a king, called King Liyk.

Ever since the Saxons occupied Dekker Reis Fort, the Liyk king was worried every day. If the Saxons wished to continue their aggression, the territory of King Liyk would bear the brunt of it, and as ruler, he would be killed by the Saxon demonstrations. After all, this is what the Saxons do when they attack.

If it weren't for Fort Dekker Reis being the only way to connect north and south Britain, Artoria wouldn't be bringing troops there so quickly. Of course, what Saxon did also aroused Artoria anger.

After Artoria arranged the soldiers and knights, King Liyk invited Artoria to the castle mansion.

Artoria sat firmly on the seat of the city lord, behind her stood Wu Ming and Lancelot.

King Liyk, who was standing in front of Artoria, said with a broad smile.

"Ah! King Arthur was very young and promising. Behind you there must be Lord Vero known as the British Silver Dragon, and Lord Lancelot, the knight of the lake, both truly talented"

"Enough, King Liyk, you need to be quick to talk about enemy-specific information." Artoria frowned and said with some displeasure.

King Liyk also knew that he had angered the king in front of him. After considering that he would have to use someone else power to confront the Saxons, he began to explain the enemy information.

After all, the intelligence Artoria received was incomplete, and she needed to add to the local intelligence.

Before King Liyk could finish speaking, Artoria said suddenly.

"Tell me the point!"

Artoria voice frightened the Liyk King. After all, Artoria was born with the Red Dragon bloodline, and she also excelled in momentum.

Wu Ming shook his head silently in his heart, what King Liyk said was complete nonsense. He turned out to be telling the information like a story from the start.

For a moment, Artoria took Wu Ming and Lancelot and left the city lord mansion, leaving King Liyk with a frightened face.

After returning to the camp where the soldiers were stationed, Artoria gathered the knights and started the meeting before the first war.

In the end, everyone decided unanimously that they should not attack by force, but rely on strategy.

With the strategy given by Wu Ming, Artoria immediately decided that she would personally lead the team to face the enemy.

She personally sent Wu Ming to form an assassination team to sneak into Dekker Reis Fortress

Artoria greatly disdained a method like assassination, thinking that it was not in line with the ways of the knights. But under Wu Ming persuasion, Artoria agreed.

After all, Dekker Reis Fortress was built on a mountain, easy to defend and hard to attack. Even if the Saxons were no match for Artoria, they could still hold on to the gate. After all, the Saxons were a group of soldiers and not knights.

At night, Wu Ming led five warriors personally selected by him who were agile and had experience in assassination operations.

Under the reinforcement of the Primodial Runes, they entered the Dekker Reis fortress through the cliff next to the Dekker Reis Fortress.

The Dekker Reis Fortress is called a fortress, but in fact it is still a city, but the city walls are very strong.

When Wu Ming and the others saw the scene where the people in Dekker Reis Fort had no civilians, the five soldiers instantly became uneasy.

On the wide streets, no one could see the figures of the residents. There were figures of savage Saxon soldiers everywhere. There would be bloodstains on the ground at every distance, and there would even be Saxon soldiers dragging people out of their homes into the streets and committing crimes just because the Saxon soldiers were in a bad mood.

Wu Ming quickly led the five soldiers into an uninhabited house. As for the natives of this house, he guessed that they had been killed by the Saxon soldiers.

The previous five soldiers were almost exposed as they were emotionally excited. In fact, when Wu Ming only chose five, it was because the families of these five warriors were in the Dekker Reis Fortress.

They were the knights chosen when King Arthur announced the formation of the reserve Knights. They were knights set to barracks due to insufficient strength.

That night, Wu Ming ordered the five people out to inquire about the Saxon army. On the other hand, let them go to their homes to see if their family members are still around.

The next day, only four soldiers returned. Their faces don't look good. Wu Ming even saw traces of tears in the corners of an assassin eyes. As for the person who did not return, he did not believe that the assassin could be found by the Saxon army.

According to the four returnees, the non-returner witnessed the scene where the Saxons killed his parents. In order to prevent his sister from being humiliated, he rushes out, kills his own sister, and kills several Saxons around him.

Due to the exposure, the assassin personally rushed to the assembled Saxon army, and was killed.

Wu Ming sighed and said nothing.

Wu Ming integrated the distribution information of the Saxon army collected by the five people. After a rigorous calculation, they set a target for assassination and an escape route. That night, the Saxon camp lost several team captains.

Soon three days passed.

During the day, Wu Ming and the five others continued to gather information about senior Saxon officials, while at night, Wu Ming and the others continued to commit murders.

Artoria led the troops to attack the Saxons, and the Saxons naturally closed the city gates, because on the first day the Saxons were beaten by the Knights of the Round Table and Camelot soldiers during the day.

On the fifth day, after the Saxons had lost almost all of their generals, the only remaining team leader immediately ordered the withdrawal from Fort Dekker Reis.

After retreating, the Saxons left behind a small number of remains and began frantically slaughtering the residents of Dekker Reis and setting houses on fire.

The four warriors led by Wu Ming couldn't stand it and rushed straight to the enemy team, Wu Ming also participated in the battle furiously.

In the end, all the remaining enemy Saxon troops were killed, but on Wu Ming side, he was the only one left.

Wu Ming put down the corpses of the four people and opened the gates of Dekker Reis Fortress. He did not find the body of the fifth killer.

So far, it has taken King Arthur five days to recapture the fortress of Dekker Reis in Britain, which was known to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, much to the surprise of the British kings. This battle was called the Dekker Reis blitz war, and it marked the beginning of the unification of Britain by King Arthur.

By the way, King Arthur usurped King Liyk rights, and King Liyk was sent to the guillotine amidst the cheers of the people in Liyk City.
