The First Tyrant of Daxia
Chapter 2136: The Legend of the Griffin Army
Western countries generally attach great importance to oaths, especially oaths of faith, which cannot be violated. Those who violate the oath will be regarded as traitors and will be despised by everyone, and even hunted down.
The Duke of Polk once swore allegiance to Henry VII under the flag of Great Britain, so it is impossible for him to lie in front of the Holy Sword Pendant.
Looking at the holy sword pendant held high, Polk swore with a firm look in his eyes and a solemn expression: "I, Polk, swear allegiance to the British Emperor. It was so in ancient times and it is still so today. If I break this oath, I will fall into hell and become a devil after I die."
"very good……"
Looking at Duke Polk who solemnly swore the oath, the man in the black windbreaker nodded with satisfaction.
"Can you tell me who you are now?" Polk stared at the man in the black windbreaker in front of him with burning eyes. He already had some guesses in his mind.
The man in the black windbreaker smiled gently. Facing Polk's oath, he felt that he had enough trust in the man in front of him.
"Uncle Polk, it's me."
The man in the black windbreaker lifted up his black cloak, revealing a young and handsome Western face. His high nose bridge and deep eyes were exactly the same as those of Henry VII when he was young. His bright golden hair was extremely dazzling under the sun.
"It's really you!"
When Polk saw this person, a look of "as expected" flashed in his eyes, and then he rushed up excitedly.
"Nephew Meredith, you are still alive." Duke Polk hugged the blond young man in front of him tightly.
Meredith Henry was the eldest son of Henry VII and the heir apparent to the British throne.
Three years ago, Meredith, who was not yet an adult, took the initiative to request to lead the army to invade the Western countries.
This crown prince, who was highly expected, did not disappoint anyone. Although he was young, he led an army of 200,000 to conquer several small countries within three years. He was called the youngest lion of the British Empire and was later named the Lion King.
Duke Polk raised his head slightly and looked at the blond new king in front of him. He was dignified and full of vigor, and was at the strongest age for a lion.
"Grown up." Polk said with emotion.
The two reminisced for a while, and Duke Polk asked, "Nephew Meredith, when the British Empire was in danger, why didn't you come out to rescue your father?"
Duke Polk was well aware of the ambitions of the young man in front of him, and he also knew that he was not the kind of person who would sit idly by and watch someone in danger, so he had this question.
Hearing Polk's words, Meredith's eyes flashed with pain, "Uncle Polk, it's not that I don't want to come back to rescue my father, but because I was held back by someone."
"Who?!" Polk frowned.
Meredith looked straight at him, then said, "You know this man too, his name is Delta."
"what?!"
Polk's eyes froze, and anger surged in his eyes.
"This damn Delta actually showed compassion to me on the surface. It turns out that he delayed you on purpose. Otherwise, with the strength of your army, once you come to support, that Qin Yun will definitely not be our opponent." Polk said angrily.
Meredith sighed, "Before this, I have observed Qin Yun's army. His army is too strong. It will be difficult for us to resist just the red cannons."
"Even if Delta hadn't sent someone to hold me back, I'm afraid it would have been useless if I had returned in time."
Hearing this, Polk's frown deepened.
"If even you can't deal with Qin Yun, then what else can we do?" Polk sighed, "In that case, nephew Meredith, why did you come back?"
"You can continue to fight outside with your army in the hope of gaining a foothold."
“As long as we have a place to stand, we can continue to develop and there is hope.”
"it's useless."
Meredith shook her head and said, "Qin Yun doesn't know about my existence, and the five western countries will not let me go. All the countries I conquered before have been occupied by them. I am at my wit's end."
"Hey……"
Hearing Meredith's words, Polk let out a long sigh.
After a moment's silence, Polk said, "Do you have any other intention in coming to see me?"
Now that Qin Yun has signed a peace agreement with the five western countries, the five western countries need to return the territories they have occupied on British soil, which means that his Hanos Castle will also return to Qin Yun's rule.
But the problem is that in order to avenge Henry VII, Duke Polk had already surrendered to Delta, and even joined forces with Delta to harm Chen Qingzhi. With Qin Yun's temper, he would never let Polk go.
So Duke Polk thought that it was not a wise choice for Meredith to come to him at this moment.
But he knew that Meredith was much wiser than his father, and he would definitely see through this trick. If he was not sure, he would never come back here.
Polk had already proven his loyalty, so Meredith did not hide it from him anymore and said bluntly, "Uncle Polk, I must have come back to see you for a reason. Have you heard of the Griffin Army?"
"Griffin Army? Isn't that a legend?" Polk asked in confusion.
Legend has it that Henry I, the founding emperor of the British Empire, once prayed to the gods for an invincible army in order to defeat the ancient Irish emperor. The gods responded by sending him an invincible army of griffins.
The Griffin Army soldiers all rode on sacred griffins that could fly. They attacked the troops on the ground from the air, and the troops on the ground had no ability to fight back at all.
Polk had always thought that this was just an exaggerated legend, but when Meredith mentioned it, he couldn't help but wonder whether the Griffin Army really existed?
Meredith smiled and said, "Dear Uncle Polk, that is of course just a legend. You don't really think there are creatures in this world that are as strong as a lion and can fly into the sky, do you?"
Polk smiled awkwardly: "Then why do you ask?"
As the crown prince of the Henry family, Meredith was naturally very clear about the affairs of his ancestors. He said: "Although the Griffin Army is just a legend, this legend also has a prototype."
"According to the ancient books in the palace, the origin of the Griffin Army is due to an ancient clan. The people of this clan can tame lions to fight for them, and they can actually fly and defeat the enemy from the air."
"real or fake!?"
When Polk heard Meredith's words, his first reaction was not shock, but questioning.
Because he knew too well what it meant to have the ability to launch air strikes.
That would be invincible!
