"Actually, you yourself know this very well. Your name is so resounding that in the towns near the Emerald Border, especially the Emerald City, your words are more effective than His Majesty's. How could His Majesty not have any dissatisfaction with you?

"

Paulwater's talk was further shattering Duke Beifeng's psychological defense.

"So this is retribution!"

He smiled coldly, and the long sword in his hand hit the ground with a clang, as if giving the last heavy blow to Duke Beifeng's heart.

"So, Your Majesty ordered me to brutally kill your son and let me take over the barrier. Your time has passed, Your Majesty the Duke."

"I have never had any intention of competing with His Majesty. I have been on duty here for 28 years. Even if I had the chance to go back, I have never gone back. Even my son would not dare to use my name to tyrannize in the capital...

"

Duke Northwind murmured to himself.

The desolate voice was like the fallen leaves that withered in the wind in late autumn, filled with bitterness.

"You say none of this makes any sense."

Paul Wurth spread his hands.

"Your Majesty only looks at the results, not the process. Maybe you are indeed honest and responsible, but who wants to have another safety hazard around them?"

"So, why don't you give up this barrier to me, and I will defend the elves' attack for you, while you just go on your way. What do you think?"

The old knight lowered his head, as if he didn't hear Paul Wurth's words.

He seemed still immersed in the sad news of his son's death and the abandonment of the country he protected.

"Can you defend the elves' attack?"

After a while, the old knight suddenly asked softly.

He raised his deep eyes and stared at Paul Walter calmly. The wrinkles on his forehead became more dense, and the whole person seemed older than before.

Paul Wurth originally thought that the old knight would collapse and go crazy, scream for revenge, abandon the protective barrier and die with him.

I didn't expect to say such a sentence at the end.

This surprised Paul Wurth.

For a moment I didn't know how to answer.

The air became stagnant again. After a moment, Paul Wurth said:

"You and I are both Sky Knights under the influence of the Moonlight Holy Well. No matter how powerful the elves who attack the barrier are, they will eventually be restricted to Sky Level. Since you can defend it, then naturally I, who is also Sky Level, can do it too.

.”

Duke Beifeng laughed when he heard this.

That smile was full of sadness and desolation, with a touch of contempt.

But those complicated emotions gradually disappeared as the smile disappeared.

"You can't defend yourself against the elves' attack."

"From the time you started calculating the strength of the elves and comparing it with mine, I knew you couldn't hold it, so I can't hold this fortress for you. Either you leave with your army, or you kill me here.

Or be killed by me."

Paul Wurth was impatient.

He originally thought that saying these words would make the old knight lose his will to resist and capture him directly, but he didn't expect that the old knight still looked like a stubborn donkey.

"What's the point of your persistence? All the soldiers under your command are almost dead."

Paul Wurth pointed behind the old knight.

There, relying on the advantages of numbers and equipment, the army he brought had gained the upper hand. Although the veterans under the old knight's command were rich in combat experience and stronger, they were ultimately unable to defeat four hands with two fists.

The old knight said nothing.

He just clenched the long sword in his hand, and his aura became fierce, like a ferocious beast that was already dying.

The attacking elves were also like this, even crazier than him.

He was ready to hand over the barrier to Paul Wurth or someone else.

But the premise is that Paul Waters must be able to kill him and step over his body.

Otherwise, you are not qualified to guard this barrier.

"Old man, are you crazy?"

The hairs all over Paul Wurth's body stood up. When he faced the old knight, he felt like he faced a shadow leopard when he took the knight's assessment for the first time, but at that time he was just a knight's retinue.

"Boom!"

The sound of knight's boots hitting the floor tiles suddenly sounded.

next moment.

Duke Beifeng moved, and only his shadow remained in the place.

And his figure had already jumped into the air, and came to Paul Wurth's side like lightning. He had already picked up the giant hammer again. The strong wind howled, and he hit the load-bearing column next to Paul Wurth hard with the hammer.

superior.

"boom!"

The load-bearing column shook violently.

The terrifying impact hit Paul Wurth through the load-bearing pillar, sending him flying and hitting the city wall, with a large mouthful of blood spurting out of his mouth.

"You...you don't protect the barrier anymore? You also smash the load-bearing pillars? What if there is a problem with the barrier and the elves attack? How do you defend it?"

Paul Wurth struggled to get up from the ground.

He questioned the old knight, but the old knight turned a deaf ear. It was like a chariot crushing him forward. The giant hammer in his hand swung in a circle with a loud "click" and hit Paul Wurth's body after he had avoided it.

position.

The entire barrier trembled violently under the hammer.

Fortunately Paul Wurth hid quickly.

If this happens, he can basically say goodbye to this world.

Although they are both at the Sky Knight level, there is still a big gap between the Sky Knights in terms of weapons and combat experience, as well as their mastery and skills of power.

At least in front of Duke Beifeng, who was attacking with all his strength, Paul Wurth could only flee in confusion.

"What's the difference between giving you a barrier, but you can't defend it against the elves' attack, and giving up the barrier to the elves? It's better to smash this barrier to pieces before the elves take over this place, and then destroy the moonlight holy well.

!”

The old knight's heavy footsteps and his almost crazy words could be heard in the dust.

Paul Wurth knew that it was not that the Duke of the North Wind was not irritated, but that he had been greatly irritated by his previous words, and even planned to destroy the entire barrier and the Moonlight Sacred Well, so that the elves would not be able to take advantage.

"In the past 28 years, I have been worthy of the Kalanli Empire and the people of Kalanli."

"If the barrier is handed over to a waste like you, then the barrier will be destroyed sooner or later. All I can do is prevent those elves from taking advantage of the Narvit Barrier to continue to capture several other barriers in the Emerald Fortress."

As the old knight spoke, his footsteps gradually moved closer to Paul Wurth.

The two of them had moved from the second checkpoint to the first checkpoint without knowing it.

At this moment, Paul Water's rebels were still attacking the city wall, and the Duke of Northwind's defenders were also resisting desperately. However, this resistance gradually became pale and feeble after facing an enemy five or six times better equipped.

On the other hand, Duke Beifeng had already arrived at the Moonlight Sacred Well.

Just behind Paul Wurth.

The silver-white spire-shaped building more than five meters high, the spire holds the hazy and mysterious moonlight, inspiring a light blue light curtain, guarding the entire Emerald Fortress!

What the old knight has to do now is to try his best to destroy the Moonlight Holy Well.

The human race will not perish, nor will it be killed by the elves until they are left alive.

One day the Human Emperor will lead his army to counterattack the Emerald Forest, and the Moonlight Holy Well that has been destroyed by then will not be able to stop the human army!

Duke Beifeng firmly believes in this.

So he took a deep breath and raised the hammer in his hand.

Then, it crashed down.

He was facing Paul Wurth, who was injured and unable to move, and also facing the corner of the moonlight holy well.

"Clang——"

The giant hammer was held firmly by a big sword, and the power from that big sword was even stronger than the old knight's, which made the old knight raise his eyes in surprise.

What came into view was a handsome knight with blond hair and blue eyes. He was holding a simple sword in one hand and seemed to be particularly relaxed and comfortable in catching the hammer.

"Old sir, things are not as bad as you think. Maybe your son is not dead yet, and this barrier may not fall into the hands of the rebels?"
