Heart of the Castle

Chapter 788 The third offensive and defensive battle of the Holy White Rock Fort (Part [-])
The sharp blade cut deep into the demon's chest, and the thick skin covered with hard and thin scales could not resist the fierce slashing of the forged steel sword from the Greencastle Weapon Workshop. Winged Demon Destroyer let out a suppressed growl, Staggering back, the surrounding magical darkness dissipated due to loss of control.

Gordon Knight drew his sword vigorously, the blade was separated from the body, and the dark purple blood sprayed his head and face. The blood of Winged Demon Destroyer was quite acidic, which made the wound on Knight Gordon's cheek throb suddenly. , but the burning fighting spirit in his chest has already made him ignore this pain.

"Fight for the Kingdom of Arthur!" Knight Gordon raised his long sword again, "Fight for His Excellency King Regent Leviston!" With only sharp claws in front of it, at the same time, it summoned a cloud of magic darkness again, trying to resist the fierce attack of Gordon Knight.

However, the burning anger in Knight Gordon's heart completely suppressed the fear of blindness, and the long sword slashed violently at the demon's head one after another. Two swords, but the third sword hit the target fiercely, with such force that it almost cut the ugly head in half.

King Arthur's army has woken up from the initial shock, and there are figures shouting battle slogans everywhere. They gathered according to the plan announced before the battle, and some people stood shoulder to shoulder, forming a tight array, like a dam to block Some people launched a counterattack towards the weak points of the enemy group, and the long swords and battle axes set off heavy waves of blood.

Earth-shattering noises came from the ears of Gordon Knights, including the clanging of steel and sharp claws, the rattling of long spears snapping, the swishing of sharp knives and the sound of heavy breathing. There is also the terrified neighing of horses and the hymns chanted aloud by priests.He also heard the cries of pain from injured knights a few times, but most of them were the screams of demons dying. The voices were continuous and echoed in the narrow space of the Blade Rift Valley, finally converging into a song praising death and death. The chorus of killing.

Knight Gordon is also a member of this killing army that spreads death. He has long forgotten the wounds on his shoulders and cheeks, and even ignored his own life and death. The red and black demon shadow slashed fiercely.At first he followed closely behind an elderly gryphon rider--his team's second-in-command--charging forward, protecting his flank from dastardly sneak attacks.Gordon Knight completed this task very well. He killed several little demons by himself, and besieged a hellhound with two heavy infantry, almost chopping the evil monster that looked like a calf into pieces.

However, the good times didn't last long. The deputy team leader was seriously injured in a face-to-face fight with a horned demon warlord. His long sword burning with fighting spirit remained between the horned demon warlord's eyes, and he also received a blow The heavy punch left a terrible huge dent on the chest armor.

Gordon Knight and several other soldiers rushed up, let the dying horned demon warlord quickly die, and then dragged the deputy team leader to a safer place. "The chaplain will be here shortly, Lord Deputy Commander." Knight Gordon put his hand on the old knight's pale forehead, and found that his body temperature was very low and he was dripping with cold sweat. "...you'll be all right, sure."

"Of course I'll be fine, but you have something to do, Gordon boy." The elder knight reluctantly stretched out his right hand and grabbed the arm of Gordon knight. Gordon knight could feel the weakness of the deputy team leader, which was like steel pliers "The glory of the eighth newly-built knight unit of the first Griffin regiment... cannot be tarnished by lingering. As the deputy team leader, I appoint you to temporarily replace my duties..."

At that moment, Gordon Knight only felt that he heard it wrong, or was the serious injury making this elderly high-ranking Griffin Knight a little delirious? "Master Deputy Team Leader, but... I can't..."

"Boy Gordon, you can." The old knight's voice was a little weak, but his tone was so firm that he could not refuse, "You want to replace me and lead the boys to continue to charge and follow in the footsteps of the branch leader, understand? "

Knight Gordon could think of a hundred reasons to refuse this temporary appointment.A month ago, he was still a country bumpkin carrying a scythe to harvest oats in the field; there are many candidates who are older than him and have more combat experience; he has never commanded any battles, and the only time he commanded a few neighbors The child rounded up a Val sheep, and was given a big fight by the frightened sheep...

But when he saw the pale face and firm eyes of the deputy team leader, he couldn't say no to the word no matter what, and finally he nodded with a stiff neck, "I'll try, Mr. Deputy Team Leader, I... Even if I fall down, I won't let the wound appear on my back!"

Several clergymen with the glorious Protestant sunburst badges on their chests arrived later, and after a brief inspection and treatment of the wound, one of them frowned, "The injury is more troublesome, the broken bone may have hurt the internal organs, and it must be sent to the rear immediately." , for further inspection."

When being put on the stretcher, the elder knight shook the hand of Gordon Knight for the last time, his lips squirmed, "Sweep away the darkness, have mercy on the weak, fear nothing..." The noise on the battlefield could not cover up the sonorous tone of the knight's motto, Because these words were not only spoken from the mouth of the elder knight, but also sounded from the heart of Gordon Knight.

"Follow me, brothers, fight for the Kingdom of Arthur! Fight for the glory of the Griffon Knights!"

The same scene appeared in every corner of the battlefield, as many as dozens of times.The young knights who have already been identified as possessing excellent aptitude and passed the initial test of being attacked were given the right to be temporary commanders for various reasons, and according to their subsequent performance, this temporary It is very likely that the position of the staff will be directly transferred to the official position.

The rear camp of King Arthur's army was set up nearly half a kilometer away from the entrance of the Bladed Rift. Hundreds of tents were brightly lit, and it looked like clusters of glowing mushrooms growing in the field, but there was nothing like clusters of glowing mushrooms growing on the outside of the camp. Usually, a fortified barrier with a mixed structure of earth and stone is built like that, but only a simple wooden fence is built.Hundreds of ashen knights wearing dark gray armor and holding steel halberds walked back and forth behind the wooden fence with solemn steps.

A large-scale tent was set up in the center of the camp, and a flag with a crown and two swords fluttered on the flagpole beside the tent, indicating that this tent belonged to Her Majesty Queen Fleischer I of the Kingdom of Arthur.There are four stone braziers in the middle of the tent, and the charcoal sticks soaked in clear oil show off a bright fire in the braziers, and there is no pungent smoke, just a faint fragrance.

Levi Ston held a crystal clear crystal ball in his hand, and watched with great interest. Queen Frasier was by his side, staring at the picture reflected in the crystal ball without blinking, from time to time Clenching his fists because of a dangerous scene, or blurting out curses because of a stupid action, it seems that he can't wait to rush to the front line and replace the bloody knights.

For Flaisher, who had been educated as a knight since he was a child, such thoughts lingered in his mind, and there was nothing worthy of criticism.But for Her Majesty the Queen, who sits on the Iron Throne and holds the power of a country, it is absolutely unacceptable.Just when Levi whispered for the third time to dispel Queen Frasier's idea of ​​going to war in disguise, the curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted, and Sir Rodriguez, who had the appearance of a young regent, walked away with a gust of cold wind. came in.

"Master Li Wei, the goal of military training has been largely achieved. Among the 42 young knights with excellent qualifications, 31 have passed the test, and four of them have performed quite well, and they can take on more important responsibilities in the future." He paused After a while, he said in a suggested tone, "Although the troops have not suffered major casualties, the battle situation is in a stalemate. If the stalemate continues, there may be danger. Especially some young people who have just entered the battlefield have already been stimulated. In a berserk state, if the fighting time is too long, I worry that overwork will cause irreversible damage to their bodies."

"Then let us end this battle." Li Wei suddenly stood up, and the dark green flames burned again in his eyes, "Sir Rodriguez, please tell Restor Robinson, let him inform the abyss Evil God General Yerudir, the long-awaited final scene can now be staged."

A trace of hesitation flashed across Sir Rodriguez's face. Instead of being ordered to find the blond bard, he stopped in front of Levi, "Master Levi, you didn't tell me all the plans, but if I don't If you guess wrong, are you going to deal with that abyss evil god Yerudir in person in this way?"

Li Wei nodded readily, "I have no intention of hiding anything, Sir Rodriguez, this is indeed my intention."

"Then I ask you to give up this reckless approach." Sir Rodriguez stretched out his right hand, grabbed Levi's left shoulder, and firmly clasped his fingers on the shoulder armor in the shape of a grinning skull. "The evil god of the abyss, Yerudir, once fought against the elf war dancer master Unicen Fizeld. Even with the assistance of two silver Pegasus knight captains, the war dancer master is still not his opponent. Master Levi, Although your strength has far surpassed that of knights of the same level, but after all, the power of fighting spirit has not crossed the boundary of the peak of Sanhua, even with Restoration Robinson at your side, it is difficult to ensure your safety."
