"How long shall we stay in this place?"
A blood wolf knight kicked the wall with great force, and the iron skin wrapped in the front of the boot rubbed a few sparks on the wall. At the moment when the setting sun was half blank, it was particularly shining in the shadow behind the wall. Beside him, a companion sighed: "Stop complaining, Eric. Who doesn't want to go back here, we are actually protecting such a kid, which really insults the reputation of the knight. But what can be done, this is Earl Reckard. Command."
"Perhaps it was just the order of Lanza." The knight named Eric slapped the head of the wall bitterly: "He has allowed us to do enough shameful things, let alone the recent kidnapping. Sister of the earl. Just the day before yesterday, we wanted us to go to the village to rob women. What's the difference between this and a robber?"
"So I have to be patient for the time being. I didn't hear that Lord Glenn brought an army here. I think things will be resolved soon, right?" The knight smiled: "In this case, it can be very Go back to Dorne. It’s been a long time since I saw those guys at home."
"Me too, I don't know how Alyssa is now." Eric sighed, suddenly the corner of his eyes was stinged by light. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to block the block, and through his fingers, his eyes fell on the road in front of the white castle. At the other end of the road, a group of men and horses were approaching towards the castle. It was the armor on the opposing soldier that reflected the afterglow of the setting sun and pierced his eyes.
"What's the matter?" The companion next to him also noticed something strange, and rushed to the head of the city.
From their position, it is enough to have a panoramic view of the street below. There were about a hundred people in that team, about twenty knights rushing in front, and warriors on foot in the back. Whether knights or infantrymen, the armor on their bodies is silver-infiltrated white iron armor. On the chest of these armors, there is a pattern of a cross. The flag erected by the infantry in the rear is exactly the sword and cross pattern of the Church’s military force "Crusaders".
"It's the church?" Eric said nervously: "Go and inform Mr. Lanza, we are in trouble."
After his companions went, Eric summoned the remaining blood wolf knights. As for the soldiers, these guys from the Giles family can only make up the number, usually scaring the civilians. If you really want to fight, these people are simply unreliable. At this moment, they were also mobilized to the guard wall of the castle and set fire. The gun hands were constantly shaking.
White Fort is not a military castle, although at the beginning of construction, Aubin’s ancestors built it according to the scale of the castle. Although Baibao also has defensive facilities such as guard walls, arrow towers, guard towers, and gates, everything has shrunk greatly. After all, if the castle is built too rigorously, it is not conducive to the image of closeness to the people created by the jazz of the past. But now, from Eric's point of view, the defense provided by the castle is very limited, and it is better than the courtyard.
Around him, there were less than ten blood wolf knights, and twenty or so pale-faced soldiers. Once the opponent really launches an offense, Eric can already foresee the end.
The Crusaders stopped a hundred or so meters away from the castle, and the avenue went straight to the gate of the castle, and this distance was enough for the opponent to start a charge. Eric bit his scalp and stepped forward and shouted: "What are you doing! This is the White Castle, the castle of the noble Earl Giles. I ask you to leave immediately!"
The crusaders suddenly separated from the two sides. Whether the knight or the infantry, they moved in unison, and Rick's heart sank straight down. There is no doubt that this army is well-trained, and even if its number is small, its combat effectiveness cannot be ignored. From the separated stream, Vera and Father Miró walked forward. When Vera stopped, the priest still stepped forward and said to the castle: "In view of the filthy reputation of Earl Gilles and his cruel atrocities. Such a person has the virtue of losing a lord, and people hope to support a new one. Lord. As for Lord Giles, we want him to abdicate voluntarily. So at this moment, please open the gates of the city."
"Joke, can the church replace the authority of the empire? Lord Giles' title is conferred by the empire. What power does the church have to remove!" Eric said loudly.
Father Miró smiled slightly and said: "Of course the church cannot replace the empire to remove Lord Giles from the title. As I said just now, the church just speaks the people’s heart. And even if it’s the empire, I want to respect the emperor. Will you follow public opinion?"
Vera raised her hand at this time and made a gesture, and the soldiers behind sent a group of red fireworks into the sky.
After that, fireworks rose in every corner of Ark Harbor one by one. The fireworks of Eric City made his heart beat faster. He knew that something was going to happen, and it wouldn't be long before he heard footsteps from all directions. Eric was condescending on the streets that connected to the castle, and the black crowd came like a tide. They are in order, but they show a breath of suffocation.
I don’t know who took the lead, so I listened to a neat shout, "The lord has no virtue, abdicate and give power!"
The waves were higher than the waves, and Eric on the city wall seemed to be in a sea of sounds, with slogans rang from all directions. Don't talk about the soldiers at this time, even the blood wolf knight panicked. Things like this are extremely unlikely to happen in other cities, but now, the army in Ark Harbor is controlled by Rola, and Giles has no soldiers available, so there is no suppression.
Only relying on a foreign knight like Eric and twenty or so young family members who have never killed anyone before, it is impossible to disperse the gathering of thousands of people in the city. With so many people, Eric began to worry whether the oak door covered with copper skin would be too thin.
An orange firework rose into the sky. At this moment, the setting sun is gone, and the night is falling. Therefore, as long as it is empty, the exploded flame can be clearly bloomed. When the flames bloomed, everyone was quiet, terribly neat. At this time, Father Milo's voice sounded again: "Everyone in the city, you must have heard the voice of the people. Even the emperor knows that public opinion cannot be violated, so knights, please open the city gate." /
Eric gritted his teeth and yelled, "I can't do it!"
Father Milo smiled helplessly and looked back. Willick, who was encased in his armor, immediately left the crusaders with his horse belly, and galloped on the avenue, the goal couldn't be more obvious.
"Attack! Attack!" Eric shouted.
But there was no movement behind him. He turned his head back to the soldiers on both sides of the wall, neither of you nor me dared to shoot. The knight yelled and grabbed a fire. The gun was pointed at Willick. As soon as his finger touched the trigger, his pupils couldn't help but shrink. Just in the Crusades, a group of soldiers launched two Thor cannons, with their muzzles aimed at the city wall. There is no doubt that as long as he dares to shoot, he will be bombarded immediately!
