Chapter 713: I am here, so not one can be missing!

~4 min read 761 words

8th year, May: Spain.

Standing at the forefront of the army, Charlemagne looked at the Twelve Peers behind him and revealed a confident smile. He said to Lin Ye beside him:

"Lin Ye, I just received news that my third son was born. How about you give him a name when I go back?"

Astolfo: "Ah ah! You already have a third prince? Me, me, me! Can I be his godfather when I go back!"

Roland: "I feel you are more suitable to be his godmother."

Astolfo...

"Roland!! You heartless guy, go die!"

Astolfo looked at his suspender socks, and then cursed at Roland.

And watching Astolfo and Roland fighting, Lin Ye also said helplessly: "I really don't have any talent for naming. The last time I named a friend's child, it was quite a failure."

Bradamante: "Hmm? Lord Lin Ye has named others? Who is it that is so lucky!"

Looking at Bradamante beside him, Lin Ye said helplessly: "My friend's name is Peleus, and I named his son... Achilles."

Bradamante...

Fursbeta...

These two descendants of Hector were stunned on the spot. Good fellow, it turns out the ancestor was killed by your nephew!

"Ahem." Charlemagne looked at the two, and then said embarrassedly: "Alright, that's all history from thousands of years ago, don't mind it. But having said that, how long have you actually lived, Lin Ye?"

Living from the Golden Age of Ancient Greece to the present, it must be at least two thousand years old.

However, Lin Ye said with a smile: "Don't ask, if you ask, it's eighteen."

Everyone...

I believe you, ghost!

And Roland on the side also hurriedly changed the subject. He pointed at the black mass of people before him and shouted:

"Look, the Saracens are coming!"

The Saracens, the most powerful and stubborn race in Europe.

Historically, Charlemagne fought this group of people from 772 to 804, and only truly conquered this ethnic group when he was old.

And the reason for all this was this Battle of Spain!

20,000 Frankish troops were ambushed by 100,000 Saracens and wiped out. Only Roland and Tobin remained of the Eleven Peers.

And even so, they still achieved victory, but the victory didn't last long, and another 50,000 Saracen troops made a comeback.

In a desperate situation, Roland and Tobin covered Charlemagne's retreat. Tobin was still praying for the departed companions before he died. Roland blew the war horn three times, but unfortunately, the reinforcements that should have appeared did not appear.

Finally, Roland wielded Durendal until the last moment. At the end of his life, he threw the sword into the lake to return it to the elves who forged it, and finally stood proudly facing all the Saracens to die generously!

And the reason for all this was the last one of the Twelve Peers, the traitor Ganelon!

Lin Ye looked at the eleven peers beside Charlemagne, and he frowned and asked:

"Where is Ganelon?"

Listening to Lin Ye's words, Charlemagne said with a smile: "Ganelon leads 20,000 troops, and when we charge, he will kill this group of people from behind!"

In Charlemagne's eyes, he led 40,000 elite troops, enough to defeat this 100,000-strong Saracen force!

The facts were indeed so, it should have been so...

"Sigh~"

Lin Ye sighed and didn't say anything.

Charlemagne's life has two postures, one is the spirited young man before him, and the other is Emperor Karl who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals!

Both are equally great, but Lin Ye still likes this sunny and cheerful big boy before him.

And why Charlemagne became Emperor Karl, it's very simple.

In this battle, all eleven peers Charlemagne trusted most died in battle, and the 20,000-strong army was wiped out.

Friends are gone, and the Frankish family foundation is also gone!

20,000! What kind of concept is that in Europe at that time! If it weren't for the heavy losses in this battle, how could he have taken 32 years to conquer the Saracens!

Lin Ye: "Charlemagne."

"Hmm?"

"If one day you find yourself betrayed by someone you trust, don't be sad and don't doubt. At least you have to believe that there is a group of people who always stand behind you."

Listening to Lin Ye's words, Charlemagne laughed: "What am I afraid of, Lin Ye? With you, with everyone, what do I have to fear?"

"Haha, that's true, with me here, what reason do you have to lose?"

Lin Ye smiled.

Charlemagne and King Arthur are actually very similar. ===== CHAPTER 715 =====
