Heart of the Castle

Chapter 447
Sir Kebal showed a shaken look on his face. Although he had already made up his mind to betray the Northern Allied Forces, getting rid of those soldiers who had been with him day and night... This made him hesitate. "Is it necessary to do that? I can guarantee that even if my men don't want to go with us, they won't inform us."

"No, absolutely not." Lord Seedorf said the words before Sir Twain could refute. His ugly and cruel face was distorted, as if he was excited about the upcoming killing.

Seeing Kebal's attitude still hesitating, Sir Tang En said with a heavy tone: "Other things are fine, but this one is not." He explained to Sir Kebal, "Anyone who does not go with us must be killed. , only the dead will ensure that secrets are not revealed."

"Then...well." Sir Kebal swallowed with difficulty, "Three of my soldiers may not want to participate..." He turned his face to the other side, "Lord Seedorf, how are you?"

"My subordinates are fine, they have long wanted to leave this ghostly place." Lord Seedorf showed a ferocious smile, "Sir Kebal, if you have subordinates who are inconvenient to deal with, I am willing to do it for you, please don't You're welcome."

Sir Kebal shivered. Seedorf's expression reminded him of the dire wolf howling under the moonlight. "No, I'll find a way to deal with it." He murmured.

Sir Dunn was about to speak, when suddenly a series of thunderous loud noises rang out all around, the ground trembled violently, people in the room had to hold on to the table so as not to fall, and then there was a metallic clang, and the top of the table The helmet inlaid with the family crest rolled to the ground.

"Gods should be damned!" Sir Tang En's expression changed suddenly, he rushed to the door and shouted loudly, "What's that noise? What happened outside?"

He was answered by a burst of noise, and then a guard knight ran in, and the light of Silver Moon Maya sprinkled on his face, making that face look extremely pale. "Sir Tang En, the devil suddenly launched an attack!"

"Launch an attack suddenly?" Sir Twain's composure has long been lost. In the face of sudden changes, his performance was even worse than that of Kebal and Seedorf, and he could only repeat the guarding knight in a daze. if. "Sudden attack... How is this possible?" He moaned. "Didn't that magician Frederick set up magic on the city wall to confuse the enemy? How could it be seen through?"

The guarding knight could only shake his head at a loss for this question, Sir Kebal was anxious and couldn't help but walked out from Sir Tang En's side: "Tell us everything, as long as you know about the situation, tell us everything. "

The guard knight glanced at Sir Tang En, and found that he had no intention of expressing objection, so he said everything he had heard and seen. "The main direction of the demon army's attack is the east. The city gate has been broken, and there is only the sound of killing. The other directions of the city are also under attack. Some arrow towers have been destroyed by the magic cast by the demon. Many Houses are starting to burn."

This terrible news made all three people in the room look at each other in silence, until the loud horn sounded, followed by echoing horns from several directions.The manic and hasty voice resounded through the night sky, as if urging something. "The assembly horn... no, no, it's not a assembly. This sound means... all mount?" Seedorf's face suddenly became as pale as the others, "There is no reason to mount a horse. Fight on foot, unless..."

"...Unless this place can no longer be defended, let everyone mount their horses and break out separately!" Sir Kebal finished for him, and fear seized everyone's heart like a devil's claw.Then the clanging of armor, the clanging of swords and the neighing of horses came from outside the house. These sounds seemed to break the spell binding the three people. Lord Seedorf was the first to react, "Sir Tang En, we The agreement has been cancelled, take care of yourself!"

Then he hurried out, followed by Sir Kebal, and the two left Sir Tang En's residence without looking back.

Sir Dunn still couldn't believe that his plan had come to an end. He stared blankly at the backs of Sir Kebal and Lord Seedorf as they went away. If it wasn't for the two guard knights helping him to run out, it would have been a long delay. "Damn the gods, how could this happen..." This soft moan was quickly drowned in the noise.

The city of Queensland was in complete chaos, and the sudden attack of the devil was very violent, beyond everyone's expectations.The group simulation technique used by Mr. Dish was enough to resist for quite a long time. However, the demon commander saw that there were a large number of defenders on the city wall. A terrifying innate magic.

This just happened to hit the only weakness of the group simulation technique by mistake.

When a large number of fire elements began to gather with the spells of the abyssal demons, Mr. Dish's hurried voice suddenly sounded from Li Wei's ears, which made the Griffon Lord, who was being disturbed by the nobles attending the military meeting, feel in his heart. There was a sudden shock.

"Li Wei, we are in trouble." Mr. Dish's voice contained a trace of anxiety, "The plan to confuse the enemy has failed, and there are signs of a large number of fire elements gathering outside the city, which is the innate magic of the abyss refining demons— — Lianzhu fireball!"

Mr. Dish's voice was still lingering in his ears, and Li Wei stood up suddenly, startling a noble lord who was speaking.This was obviously not very polite behavior, the lord immediately became angry, and accused Li Wei: "Master Li Wei, even if you have something to say, you have to wait until I finish speaking, this is The most basic courtesy..."

Li Wei didn't care to look at the lord named Walder or Bard, his voice was hurried and deep, but the meaning in his words shook the entire venue like a thunderbolt. "Your Excellency the Sheriff, my lords, there is no time to continue arguing, the demon army is about to launch an attack!"

The venue was silent for a while, and then the voice of Lord Piper rang out, "Master Li Wei, I would like to ask you a question. How did you know that the devil was coming when you sat here with us? Could it be your fault?" Can eyes see through houses, city walls and night, and see every move of the devil outside the city?"

There was a burst of laughter in the venue, but it stopped shortly after it started.Because there was no need for Li Wei to explain, a burst of dark red fire flashed suddenly, followed by earth-shattering explosions billowing from all directions.The time was so short that the interval between one heartbeat and the entire city of Queensland seemed to be caught in a violent explosion. The ground shook, the sky collapsed, flames flew, and the foul-smelling sulfur smoke poured into the streets of Queensland city along with the sound of buildings collapsing. In the alley, the wild roar of the devil was faintly heard.

The order in the venue suddenly became chaotic, and many people stood up and shouted, but their voices were drowned out by bursts of loud noises, and they couldn't hear anything at all. It was like a funny pantomime .

The cessation of the loud noise was as sudden as its appearance. If it weren't for the lingering sound still echoing in everyone's ears, they would have thought that what just happened was an illusion.

"Guards, go and see what's going on!" Someone ordered loudly, and several city guard knights held torches and took a few steps outside, when the sound of hooves suddenly sounded, and then a cavalry rushed into the venue.Those city guard knights stepped forward to block his way and asked sharply.The war horse neighed wildly, its front hooves danced and kicked, and then fell to the ground slumped.Only then did everyone see that the cavalryman didn't hold a weapon in his hand, and there were several dents on the armor, and blood crawled out of the armor gap on his left shoulder like countless small snakes, staining half of his body red.

"Your Excellency the Sheriff, and my lords..." The cavalryman's voice was dull because of his exhaustion and weakness. As soon as he opened his mouth, dark red blood flowed down the corner of his mouth, but he didn't seem to know it. "East... the demon broke through the east gate, several knights died in battle, speed...rescue..." The last word was difficult to utter, and the cavalryman's head drooped, and Archbishop Bovava hurried forward He checked it, then turned around and shook his head with a look of pity.

Another roar sounded, although the sound was slightly smaller than before, but the distance seemed to be closer.The war horses in the stables began to neigh uneasy, and the people in the venue were almost equally uneasy. Levi saw Sir Todd turning around frequently and chatting hurriedly with the people around him, while Sir Ozzie and Lord Piper also lost their sense of humor. With a confident attitude, the former casts his eyes outward from time to time, while the latter inserts the dagger he has been playing with back into the boot.

Lord Frodo's loud voice was the only one that could cut through the rumble, and he drew the sword from his belt, the sharp blade gleaming coldly in the firelight. "Lord Sheriff, please give me an order! I will take the cavalry to drive those demons back out of the city..."

Earl Ansair sat quietly in his seat, his face was as expressionless as a stone sculpture, but the knuckles of his fingers holding the sword hilt were already turning white. "No, it's too late!" Under the blessing of fighting spirit, his voice tore through the noise like a sharp sword edge, making everyone in the venue hear it clearly. "We have lost this battle, we have already lost, Queensland City can no longer defend, we must break through."

"Your Majesty Sheriff?" Earl Ansair's position changed so quickly that Baron Frodo thought he had misheard something: "Are you talking about... a breakout, or an all-army attack?"

"Didn't you understand me when I said breakout?" Earl Ansair stood up, his cloak fluttering in the night wind, his eyes reflected the torches around him, flashing a little bit of fire. "Blow the horn immediately!" He then ordered to the city guard knights standing beside him. Seeing the hesitation in their expressions, Earl Ansair repeated it again in a stern tone, "Blow the horn immediately! Order everyone to mount their horses , we must break through immediately!"

Then the horn sounded quickly, short, long, short, and the sound was thrown into the sky like a steel wire, echoing between the high towers and battlements of Queensland City.Several horn players blew the horn with all their strength. The horn was so powerful that it almost exploded. The rest of the city guard knights rushed into the stables holding torches.

The echoes of horns came from many places, short, long, short, and the sound was fiery, urging people to quicken their pace.Short, long, short, fast, fast, fast.Some of the lords attending the council of war rushed out, cursing, to join their guardsmen who had left outside their garrison, spreading chaos into the nearby streets.I don't know when, the sky has turned gloomy, the brilliance of the silver moon is blocked by dark clouds, and fine snow, as cold as dead ashes, falls to the ground.

Earl Ansair jumped on his horse amidst the snow and chaos, and stood upright on the stirrups, "Arrow formation! All go south, and then break out towards the west gate!" He shouted loudly.

The knights of the City Guards and the Guardian Knights of the Temple of the Storm got on their horses one after another, struggling to control the panicked mounts to form a neat formation, and the Griffin Knights also joined in, making the breakout formation more solid and powerful.

However, as far as Earl Ansair looked, he found several people who did not mount their horses. Among them, the tall hero of the Dark Nightmare in the Northern Territory was particularly eye-catching.He cursed in a low voice, turned the horse's head, and controlled the horse to trot over. Before the person arrived, the shout was like a sharp knife cutting through the hustle and bustle.

"Li Wei! Fleischer! What are you doing? Don't delay for a moment now! Mount your horse immediately and prepare to break through!"

Earl Ansair's shout stunned Frasier for a moment, and Li Wei lifted her up to the Dark Nightmare in the Northern Territory, then patted the black horse's forehead that was about to grow sharp horns, and said in his mouth, " Xiao Hei, remember, you must protect Miss Frasier well, and when necessary, open the resistance fire ring, and charge him all the way! Before you get rid of the devil's pursuit, no one can block your way, you know ?"

"Understood, big!" The black horse's firm answer sounded in Li Wei's heart, and then it immediately turned around and ran towards the formation formed by the knights.

"Lee Wei, no, let's go together..." Fleischer's anxious cry was quickly suppressed by the noise, and now Li Wei only had to face the furious Lord Sheriff of the North Frontier County. "Lord Earl Ansair," he kowtowed to the sword dancer on horseback, his eyes shining brightly in the dark night. "Someone must stay behind, and at the same time gather the scattered and defeated army as much as possible to delay the pursuit of the demon army, otherwise..." The Griffon Lord looked at Earl Ansair's frown and said sincerely, "Even if you can rush out Encircled by demons, under their pursuit, how many people can go back alive?"

"Then I will leave the queen!" Earl Ansair gritted his teeth and said, "Just as we discussed, the mistakes I made can only be washed away by myself, even with blood."

"No, Lord Sheriff, you can't, and neither can other knights." Li Wei shook his head and said, "You have to command the breakout troops, the war is not over yet, we will come back sooner or later to teach these damned guys an unforgettable lesson, and there is no Humans are better suited to the task than I am.”

The roar burned Earl Ansair's lips and tongue like a flame, and he couldn't help but want to roar, but Li Wei's words were too fast for him to utter, completely choking the sword dancer's reason in his throat.

"Don't forget my nickname—Griffin Lord." Li Wei said in a low voice, "I am sure to get away at the last moment."

"Sure? A griffin?" Earl Ansair shook his head stubbornly, "There are many winged demons in the demon army, and the griffin may not be able to safely take you out of the battlefield!"

"But you would have no chance at all." Li Wei pointed out bluntly.

Despite the urging of the horn, Earl Ansair still frowned and thought for a moment, finally he nodded heavily and said, "I understand, Viscount Leviston, you must come back alive. This is my wish, It is also an order, and it is...Fleischer's hope." Then he looked deeply to the east, and the noise from there was getting louder and louder, indicating that the demon's footsteps were getting closer. "How many people need to stay?"

"I don't need any of them." Li Wei replied very simply.

"Don't be kidding, none of the sword dancer's knights is afraid of death!" Earl Ansair emphasized, "They are real knights who can take death as home just like you!"

"I'm sure I can get away, but I may not be able to bring other people with me." Li Wei explained with a hand gesture, "And I have a whole knight order by my side, and there is no shortage of manpower."

"Where is there any knight order around you..." Earl Ansair hadn't finished speaking when a voice suddenly sounded from the side, interrupting his words. "Twilight Knight Rodriguez is here, enough to top the last knight order?"

"It's natural for the butler to protect the young master. No matter what he wants to do, how can he miss me, an old guy?" Butler Frederick's voice came from the other side, and then the old butler leaned on the dragon with a wooden carved walking stick. The figure of Zhong appeared there, with a decent smile on his face, as if standing in front of the living room door to welcome guests.

Li Wei and others watched Earl Ansair turn his horse's head and gallop towards the breakout troops.Those people were ready to go, but when they saw Earl Ansair returning alone, they suddenly let out a sound of surprise.

"Dawn of the North, Lord Griffin, His Excellency Viscount Levi Stern blocked the enemy for us, everyone, salute them!" Earl Ansair stood up on his stirrups and slammed his breastplate vigorously, " May the god of war Balud bless you, and may all the gods in the sky bless you, our hero!"

"Salute, salute! May the gods bless, and the gods bless Lord Li Wei!" The sound of the knocking on the breastplate was chaotic, but every knight's face was full of reverence.Li Wei is sure that if he raises his arms now, at least [-]% of the knights will stay and fight side by side.

"Northern Allied Forces! Breakthrough begins!" Earl Ansair shouted again, "Don't fall behind, don't look back, go forward, go forward, go forward!" Following the order, the formation of front arrows rushed out like a sharp arrow Station, into the vast darkness.
