After receiving the news, Punk quickly ordered the cavalry to turn around and respond.
What is surprising is that Punk, who left a small team for the civilian brigade, actually handed over the command to Roy!
"Roy, not far from this valley is the pass of this mountain. The princess and the others are there. This burden is left to you. Remember, this is war. As a leader, you have the right to make any decision.
Decide!"
Roy stood there blankly, with Punk's voice still echoing in his ears. Before his eyes, the knights were already flying away.
The sound of horse hooves was like rolling thunder, and the forest was shaken to a rustling sound. The fast horses galloped vigorously through the jungle, and in an instant, they were far away.
In the howling mountain wind, Roy clenched his fists tightly!
"Give the order, boy. When you charged towards the enemy's cavalry formation, you didn't hesitate much." A sergeant turned his horse's head and stood side by side with Roy: "Since we can follow you and charge back to the enemy's formation, now we don't have to
Let’s talk.”
"Okay." Roy gritted his teeth, wiped the wet sweat from his hands on his knees, and made up his mind.
He didn't know why Punk gave command to a half-grown child like himself, but since Punk could trust him without reservation, he would take this team out safely no matter what!
Facing the doubtful looks of many civilians, Roy puffed up his chest and said, "Let's go."
"Yes!" the sergeants responded in unison.
The team began to move forward again. Although there were some stumbles, the pressure of the approaching pursuers behind them still made the team walk much faster. Roy led the royal sergeants, running forward and backward. They had to cut down trees in front to clear the way, and also
Taking care of fallen civilians and injured people who were unable to walk was so busy that I was sweating profusely.
Mai Ya'er looked on with cold eyes and curled her lips from time to time. Except for the familiar Sister Xiao Lan, who stretched out her hand when they needed help, she ignored others at all.
In the devil world, there are not so many false feelings!
Whether they were dragging down civilians or soldiers fleeing for their lives, even some small nobles would often be killed with a single blow.
That big head really used himself as a dish!
The crowd was moving in the jungle, and from time to time there was the sound of tearing cloth strips torn by thorns, the sounds of women crying, the cries of children and the scolding of men.
An old man finally couldn't walk anymore. After walking for several prayer hours, he sat under a big tree. Amidst the urging and pleading of his children, he only had time to shake his head and closed his eyes forever.
.
After discovering that he had stopped breathing, his children cried loudly.
Roy stopped in front of the old man. He looked at the old man's dark skin unique to fishermen and sailors, and his old face full of wrinkles, which blended with the rough bark of the tree behind him, like a silent sculpture.
Another one.
How many more innocent people will die in the future?!
Roy gritted his teeth and helped dig a hole with red eyes, buried the old man hastily, and then rushed towards the front line where there was a commotion. He had no time to listen to the old man's relatives crying, and he had no time to feel sad.
.At this time, he carries everyone’s lives on his shoulders.
Mai Ya'er frowned and watched all this, and cursed with a complicated mood.
"fool!"
After half a prayer hour of arduous trekking, the team reached the pass just as the sound of swords clashing and loud shouts could be faintly heard behind them.
The princess, the Baroness, Lady Ellen and some royal knights were waiting at the pass. The Holy Knights, the escort of the Viscount Wenger and dozens of cavalry were stationed on the hillside on the right, looking down from a high position.
He looked expressionlessly at the endless line of civilians.
Buck and Andrew, who were following the Holy Knights, saw Roy running up and down at a glance.
"That kid actually escaped." Andrew said bitterly.
Buck said nothing, his eyes cold.
Not far from the bottom of the hillside where Buck and Andrew were, there were the Baroness, Anne and Les whose eyes were red from crying.
However, Buck didn't even look over there.
After learning the sad news of Baron Brian's death from the scouts who came first, Buck, Andrew and two other knights who originally belonged to Borabel Castle did not hesitate to keep a distance from the Baroness and followed her.
Behind the Holy Knights.
Now that the object of allegiance, Baron Brian, has died, their letters of allegiance have become useless. According to the rules, they can freely choose whether to continue to serve the Bora Bell Territory.
This is really good news.
You know, Brother Moon has just received the message from the Flying Eagle, and the reinforcements from the Knights Templar have arrived not far away.
This time, the branch of the Knights Templar in the Saint Solan Empire came out in full force. Among the rushing reinforcements, there were not only more than thirty armed knights, five just knights, and even a man named Alex
X’s three-star glory knight!
Lord Alex is one of the top ten young geniuses of the Knights Templar. As long as you join him, no matter how many enemies you have, they are still just chickens and dogs!
Therefore, the strongest force here is no longer the Royal Knights.
If you want to get out of the mountainous area alive, the best way is to stand in the team of Holy Knights and Viscount Wenger's escort team.
As for the Baroness and her children... let's wait and see if they can get out alive. No one is willing to be loyal to a noble who has lost his territory.
Not far from Buck, Moon was looking coldly at the approaching civilians.
"madness!"
"It's just the royal knight's sense of honor." George next to him sneered: "Who knew we had gotten rid of these untouchables, and they actually picked these guys back up again."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Munn: "Lord Munn, what should we do now?"
"We can't stay here any longer," Munn raised his head, listening to the sound of fighting that was getting closer and closer, his face changed slightly: "We have wasted too much time, and I heard that the other party also has a magician. In any case, we
Gotta go first!"
"I agree." Matthew next to Moon agreed. From the moment they left the civilian brigade, Wenger Viscounty had come together with the Holy Knights under the leadership of Matthew.
"But princess..." George's eyes flashed.
Their mission is to protect the princess. If the princess doesn't leave, they will be tied here. This is the key.
"In extraordinary times, use extraordinary means!" Moon's eyes flashed sinisterly: "The enemy is coming too fast. If the Royal Knights retreat, we will all be involved. We must keep these people here and wait for the Phillies to kill them all.
They and we should have joined Sir Alex as well."
"The princess won't agree, right?" George asked confused.
"When did the Knights Templar see the faces of the royal families of the three major empires? Which is more important, the wishes of Lord Augustus or the wishes of the princess?" Moon said coldly: "If she doesn't agree, then force her to agree.
!If she doesn’t leave, force her to leave.”
As he spoke, Moon turned his head and looked at Buck and others who were laughing behind him, and whispered a few words to George and Matthew.
Hearing Moon's words, George's eyes widened, and Matthew's face turned pale. When Moon's lips left their ears, the two of them looked at Moon again, their eyes already full of shock and fear.
It is said that all the Wen cultivators are full of evil schemes. Unexpectedly, Moon would dare to make such a decision in a split second!
If word spreads, it would be tantamount to conspiracy!
"Don't worry, if His Majesty Edward is angry, it depends on whether Donald nods or not." Moon said coldly. "Do you understand?"
George and Matthew looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and made up their minds: "Yes!"
Moon smiled leisurely. Seeing that Mrs. Allen and others below had already met the civilian team, they spurred their horses and galloped down the hillside.
At the same time, George and Matthew turned their attention to Buck and others who were looking humble behind them.
When the team entered the pass, Roy saw the baroness coming towards her with red eyes from a distance, and felt sad.
To this day, he still finds it difficult to accept the fact that Baron Brian died in battle.
If the baron hadn't been for the common people under his rule, he could have...
Thinking of Baron Brian's hearty laughter, his obedient appearance in front of the Baroness, and his generosity in inviting everyone to drink in the tavern...the scenes in his mind made Roy dare not raise his head to look at the Baroness.
For the first time, the young man discovered that human life is so fragile. The life in the past was vulnerable to the roaring knights and lances.
Are those extremely powerful people who ride war horses, wear expensive magic armor, and wield butcher knives the knights they aspire to be?
No, it's not!
A real knight should be someone like Hugo and Baron Brian.
"Roy..."
Hearing the familiar and trembling voice of the Baroness, Roy jumped off his horse, turned away and looked at the mud beside him.
"It seems that it is true."
Tears welled up in the Baroness's eyes again. She hugged Roy like a child in need of comfort, tears dripping down Roy's shoulders.
"Holy Father!"
The baroness's sad howling made many residents of Borabel burst into tears.
One day and one night, they experienced the life and death of their loved ones, the destruction of their home, the frightening siege in the castle, and their escape with swords and swords flying everywhere.
At this moment, all the emotions surged into my heart along with the cries of the lord's wife, and they were out of control.
Anne had long since cried and fell into Les's arms. Mrs. Ellen and the royal officers also looked away and wiped away their tears.
Roy's lips were trembling, his nose was sore, and he could only grit his teeth desperately.
He raised his head and saw that not far away in front of him, Aleshia and Susan stood holding hands, as if they were in tears.
Several holy guards stepped forward and silently separated the crowd from the princess and others.
Moon rode his horse to Aleshia's side.
"Your Highness Princess, it's time for us to set off."
"Brother Moon, you can leave on your own." Alessia wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, took a deep breath, raised her proud chin, and said with a hint of sarcasm in her calm tone: "I will go with them. I
I won’t leave my subjects behind again.”
"I'm sorry, Your Highness Princess, I'm afraid this is not up to you."
Moon's cold and unquestionable voice made Alessia's pupils shrink, and she turned her head sharply.
The crying gradually subsided. Roy, Baroness, Susan, Mrs. Ellen and several royal non-commissioned officers all glared at Moon.
Munn listened to the sound of fighting getting closer and closer, and said to Alessia: "Your Highness, please set off immediately."
"I don't want to change my decision." Alessia said coldly.
Moon's eyes flashed and he said expressionlessly: "In that case, please forgive me. Your Highness, our responsibility is to protect you. If necessary, we don't mind using some extraordinary means if you don't cooperate. So, you
It's better to leave with us. We sincerely think about your royal knights."
"What do you want to do?" Alessia's nails almost dug into her palms.
"If you continue to stay here, we will line up here to face the enemy..." Moon smiled faintly and glanced at everyone present, "Of course, in order to seek the opportunity to win in a disadvantageous situation, some sacrifices are made.
It must be done. Maybe only when the enemy kills everyone who is guarding you, can we find the most suitable time to attack. Maybe we can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"
No one can describe his anger in words.
How could everyone not understand that if Alessia did not agree to leave, Munn would regard this pass as a dead line. Those Holy Knights would act as a law enforcement team, standing firmly at the back, forcing the already exhausted
Royal knights and civilians resisted each other's attack.
That would kill everyone!
Everyone turned to look at the hillside. Eight holy knights, four knights of Viscount Wenger, and dozens of retinues and cavalry had already formed a threatening formation on horseback.
"Shameless!!" Alessia's voice was almost squeezed out from between her teeth!
"Personal honor and disgrace are of no importance to a loyal believer of the Holy Emperor." Munn bowed slightly without changing his expression and accepted Alessia's evaluation, "As long as I can protect the safety of Her Highness the Princess, after returning to the Imperial Capital
, I will confess my sins to the Holy Father.”
Looking at Moon's face, Roy's whole body was trembling.
He had to use all his strength to restrain himself to prevent the bone spear he summoned from piercing Munn's throat!
Among the separated crowd, a sarcastic smile appeared on Mai Ya'er's lips. With the elf's naturally sensitive hearing, she understood what was happening far better than the anxious civilians next to her.
All this, in her opinion, was completely normal.
"Brother Moon, you are treasonous!" Mrs. Ellen took out her staff.
"No, dear madam, as the envoy of the Holy Emperor in the human world, I never succumb to the secular imperial power. Since I am not loyal to the Saint Solan royal family, it is not possible to talk about treason. Moreover, in our view, this is our only
A way to ensure the safety of the princess." Moon stared closely at the staff in Mrs. Ellen's hand: "If the madam wants to take action, I will naturally kill her by the neck, but the consequences must be borne by the madam herself."
Mrs. Ellen almost broke her teeth.
"I think if Her Royal Highness the Princess moves quickly enough, the civilians will have more time to escape." Munn leaned towards Aleshia and made an invitation gesture, "Your Highness probably doesn't want everyone to be because of your
Why is he waiting to die here?"
For a long time, Alessia, Susan and Mrs. Allen turned around and mounted their horses with pale faces. However, they could not move their horses forward for a long time.
"I won't leave!" The baroness, who had been silent, looked at the princess, "Your Highness, I'm sorry..."
"No, Mom!" Les, who was holding Anne in his arms and looking uncertain, looked away from the hillside where Matthew and others were, and interrupted the Baroness: "We must leave with Brother Moon."
The Baroness looked at her son in disbelief, and Anne also lifted her arms from Les's arms and looked at her brother in surprise.
"I don't want to die here." Lesby began.
"Les..." The Baroness looked at Les and shouted: "Les, look at me!"
Les turned his head, his face ashen.
"Is this your decision? Tell me, is this your decision?" The Baroness's eyes were full of disappointment and pain, and her voice was trembling.
Les avoided his mother's gaze and nodded: "Yes!"
"Pah!" The Baroness used all her strength to give Les a slap in the face!
The sound of the slap echoed in the valley. For a long time, Les stroked the raised fingerprints on his face and said, "Since you slapped me, let's go."
The Baroness turned pale, looked at her son, and suddenly let out a burst of sad laughter, tremblingly saying: "Okay, okay, you are really your father's good son! I will help you for the last time! Anne, get on the horse!"
As she said that, she took Roy's hand: "Roy, come with me."
After hearing the Baroness's words, everyone turned their attention to Roy. Just from the scout's mouth, everyone already knew what happened ahead. They were shocked and admired at the young man's action of attacking the enemy's formation.
"Madam, let's go." Roy helped the Baroness onto the horse and took a step back.
"Big Head, what about you?" Annie asked anxiously.
"I won't leave." Roy said calmly, "Since Mr. Punk has entrusted everyone to me, until I complete his entrustment, I can only bite the bullet and pretend to be a hero. Just like..."
His eyes glanced at Buck, Andrew and others, then turned back towards the direction where the sound of fighting came from behind, and said softly: "Mr. Hugo and Baron Brian are like that."
