有声书 | King Arthur And His Knights 亚瑟王与圆桌骑士 06 | 自由微信

Not long after their marriage, there was another invasion① of Britain. The King of Ireland, the King of Denmark, and three other kings joined together. They wanted to conquer② Britain with their strong armies.

"We must fight these five kings," said King Arthur. "We must protect Britain."

The knights of the Round Table were ready to fight against the enemy.

Before leaving Camelot, Arthur said to Guinevere, "Dear Guinevere, I don't want to leave you alone. Please come with me. I promise to protect you. Your lovely presence③ gives me happiness and courage."

Guinevere smiled and said, "Arthur, I am happy to follow you."

Queen Guinevere rode next to King Arthur. King Arthur's army followed. After travelling for many days they did not meet the five kings.

Suddenly one night, the five kings attacked King Arthur's camp④. They almost destroyed the camp. The noise of the battle woke up King Arthur. He, Guinevere, and the other knights rode away quickly. They crossed the River Humber and went to the forest.

Then they heard horses across the river. In the moonlight, they saw the five kings. The kings were riding towards them, and they were alone.

One knight said, "Let's attack them by surprise⑤! They're alone! They can't see us, but we can see them!"

King Arthur and his knights killed the five kings.

The enemy armies were confused⑥ without their leaders. They all left Britain. King Arthur and his knights were again victorious⑦. They saved Britain from a dangerous⑧ invasion.
