Standing on the stage, Barbara is radiant and charismatic.

Her gestures and smiles vividly portray how a woman grows from an ignorant village girl to a hero who fights against foreign enemies.

Holding a gorgeous long sword, he pointed at the "enemy army" on the opposite side, and Barbara, who was dressed in women's armor, seemed to be shrouded in divine light on her face.

With a solemn expression, she stood in front of the cross in the background, and said in a loud voice: "The Lord has called you and me to give eternal life to mortals." You have been sown until you bloom again! All by God's will! Listen, the heavens have sounded the bells! Get ready for a new life!"

At this moment, a rapid and long bell rang in Lone Rock City.

The audience, who were immersed in the plot, did not feel panicked at all when they heard the alarm bell, but cheered loudly.

As for Barbara, she frowned, glanced at the people behind the scenes, and found that the other party also had a puzzled expression.

The sound of the alarm bell became more and more urgent, louder and louder, and the audience finally realized that something was wrong and began to turn their heads and ears.

At this time, a heavily armed light cavalry galloped down the road, striking the gong in his hand and shouting loudly: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The southerners are coming!"

Barbara put down the sword in her hand and watched the audience in front of her screaming and fleeing in all directions, with uncontrollable panic and uneasiness in her eyes.

A solid arm reached out from behind Barbara, wrapped around her waist, and carried her off the stage.

Randall dodged the surging crowd, took the woman in his arms to a relatively safe corner, looked at the other party's pale face, and whispered: "Don't panic, according to what we said in advance, you go and tell the regiment leader, let him pack up immediately, throw away all unnecessary things, and leave Lone Rock City!"

Barbara bit her lip and nodded slightly.

Randall took out a palm-sized umbrella badge from his bosom and placed it in Barbara's hand: "Bring this to Knight Captain Horn and let him escort you back to Twilight City immediately!"

The clever Barbara heard the overtones in Randall's words, grabbed the other man's arm, and said eagerly, "What do you want to do?"

"I'm here to stay. ”

"Stay, you're crazy?!"

Randall hugged Barbara tightly in his arms and whispered, "I'm not sure how long this city can support against attacks from the south, rather than fleeing here with the troupe, it's better to stay and buy time for you......"

Barbara raised her head and stared into Randall's eyes, "If you don't go, I'll stay too!"

Randall shook his head: "You stay, I will always be worried about your safety." ”

Before Barbara could say more, an earth-shattering explosion and a violent shaking made her tremble.

The two of them looked in the direction of the explosion, and fire and smoke rose in the direction of the city gate of Lone Rock City.

At the gate of the outer city of Lone Rock City, an armored plate car full of explosives was detonated by the fire oil of the defenders of Lone Rock City, which had been prepared for a long time, causing a huge explosion twenty meters outside the city gate, causing different effects on the armies on both sides of the battlefield.

The Ayyubid army's proximity to the blast site and the lack of a barrier to withstand the explosion resulted in nearly fifty casualties, while the defenders of Lone Rock were well prepared and had solid walls, with only four or five soldiers wounded by the tremors.

"That Garcia is right, the southerners are attacking......" Looking at the dense imperial soldiers under the city, and the huge crater in front of the city gate that was more than one person deep and more than twenty meters wide, Jenningston, the regent of Lone Rock City, felt a tingling scalp: "If it weren't for that guy's ventilation message, the southerners might have really been able to blow up the city gate." ”

"My lord, the enemy is coming up again!"

Jennings froze and looked down on the city, where a large number of Imperial light cavalry jumped off their horses and lined up with muskets.

With the sound of gunfire one after another, a puff of dust and rubble suddenly rose from the city wall.

Hiding behind the forts, Jennings shouted to the heralds: "They are all cavalry, no artillery, only improvised weapons, let the archers enter the watchtower to shoot, and the watchtower keeps an eye out for the enemy's explosive carts!"

As orders were relayed, Lone Rock's defenders moved into their positions and began to meet the enemy.

The Ayyubid Empire's army consisted of just over 1,000 men, all cavalry, and they carried only basic light weapons and armor for mobility and surprise attack. But this southern army, which chanted Allah, far exceeded Jennings' expectations in terms of will to fight and desire to win.

An Ayyubid soldier who was climbing up an improvised wooden ladder was shot into the shoulder by an arrow, and was unmoved, and continued to climb towards the top of the city wall, while the soldiers of Lone Rock were unable to raise their heads under the suppression of muskets, and some of the timid people even cowered behind the wall and refused to show their heads.

The battle lasted for nearly thirty minutes, although Lone Rock City had the advantage of the number of soldiers and the terrain environment, but because of the gap in morale and quality, it gradually lost the initiative on the battlefield, and even several soldiers of the Ayyubid Empire had climbed the city wall.

Seeing this scene, Jennings was anxious in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh: Lone Rock City, which has not been at war for decades, is accustomed to peace and ease, and in the face of sudden enemies, it has long lost its past sharpness......

Thinking of this, Jennings turned his head to the adjutant behind him and asked in a low voice, "Have all the messengers asking for help left?"

The latter nodded in response: "It's all gone." The closest to the royal city was the Marquis of Doranthal, who must have brought his troops with him at this time. ”

Jennings took a deep breath and shouted, "Heralds, order the Guards to enter the battle, and if any soldiers are cowardly, they will be executed on the spot......!"

Before Jennings could finish his sentence, there was a sudden commotion behind the walls.

A warrior wearing black armor and holding a sword and shield jumped directly onto the towering city wall through running and rock climbing under everyone's attention.

"God, he moves like a nimble antelope!" The adjutant looked at the black-armored warrior and said dumbfounded, "And he's wearing a heavy armor!"

The black-armored warrior swung his sword and slashed through the iron shield of an Ayyubid soldier, then kicked him off the wall, then slammed the knee of another Imperial soldier with his toes, and with a piercing bone cracking sound, the sword stabbed into the victim's chest without delay.

A startled Jennings watched the warrior's fluid attack and asked, "Who is he?!"

Everyone present shook their heads, and no one knew.

It turns out that under the leadership of a lion, even the most cowardly hyena will give birth to the courage to bite.

Under the influence of the heroic battle of the Black-Armored Warriors, the soldiers of Lone Rock gradually rose to the fighting spirit, and the latter shouted the glory of the Father, melee with the enemies who climbed the walls, and gradually gained a foothold with the advantage of numbers and terrain, and finally drove the Ayyubid Imperial army off the walls.

"Your Excellency, we have won!"

Listening to the adjutant's shouts of joy and looking at the enemy soldiers all over the city wall, Jennings, who had not been in battle for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The regent of Lone Rock had been nervous since hearing the news of the invasion from the south, and now he was finally able to relax.

"Let someone count the battle loss ratio as soon as possible! Also, I want to meet that warrior!"
