It is true that some women have been taken captive by the bandits, but even among the rescued hostages, Robin does not find Tess - Tess is missing - or perhaps a charred corpse. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After that, Robin never married, because he was disabled, and secondly, he never forgot Tess - ridiculously speaking, but it was just a glimpse, like the foggy, rainy, and wind-like spring/dream that every teenager has had, but Tess's shadow lingered in Robin's mind until ...... Reunion.

Robin never imagined that he would ever meet Tess, but the truth is like a miracle - Tess, as a peasant woman who delivers fresh vegetables to Count Tuss's house, once again appears in Robin's field of vision.

A gardener, a peasant woman, with Robin's approach, he finally talks to Tess, and also learns about Tess's life experience.

Tess's husband was a real farmer who had escaped military service because he was born with a blind eye - in the Arathi Heights, such a man who had not served as a soldier was usually looked down upon, and I wonder how such a man could have married a woman like Tess.

However, the man who made Robin envious and jealous was not lucky, he died in the sack of the bandits, and Tess, because she had taken her daughter back to her parents' house to see her parents before the thieves arrived.

Later, because her parents were getting old and could no longer do farm work, Tess sold her family's land and opened a farm outside Riptide Castle, where she grew some fruits and vegetables and gave them to the nobles in Riptide Castle for a living.

Though guilty of the unfortunate man, no one could imagine how excited Robin was when he learned of Tess's husband's death—so excited that he felt ashamed and unable to control himself.

Robin is ostensibly the gardener of Count Tass's family, but in fact, Count Tuss's family does not have a manor, and there is nothing in the garden in the mansion that Robin needs to take care of, he is just an idler.

Previously, Robin would have felt uneasy about the white-collar job and felt ashamed of Count Tus, but now he really has to thank the job - it allows him to meet Tess and get closer to her.

Since then, Robin has often visited Tess's home outside Riptide Castle to help her tend to the fruits and vegetables on the farm, and to Robin's delight, Tess has not found a new father for her daughter.

Robin's help was very timely for Tess, although she couldn't remember the big-headed soldier who hid in the shadows more than ten years ago and peeked at himself washing clothes by the river, and Robin didn't deliberately mention the events of the mountain village back then, for fear of evoking Tess's sad memories, but Tess and her family were very grateful for Robin's help and gradually accepted him.

Of course, Robin still has some scruples - now he is just a small gardener, and more importantly, he is lame, and Tess, although he has worked hard all these years, is still as beautiful as he was then, although he knows that he has a little affection for each other, but Robin, who has low self-esteem, has not said a clear word to Tess.

Seeing that Tess's daughter Erica is about to reach the age of marriage, Robin secretly resolves in her heart that when Erica gets married, she must tell Tess what she really thinks, even if she is rejected...... But now......

"No, I'm going to save them!" Robin wakes up from the memories, only to find that his face is full of tears. He struggled to get up from the ground, shook his head, and suddenly an idea occurred to him, and he limped towards the stairs leading to the city, still muttering, "Tess, Erica, wait for me, I will go back and save your ......"

As soon as De Jong arrived at the city, he saw King Solas, dressed in golden armor and holding a two-handed war hammer, standing on the walls of Riptide Castle and looking out. Seeing the broad and tall back of His Majesty the King, De Jong was terrified, walked quickly to King Soras's side, and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, I ......"

"Get up." King Solas stretched out his hand to support De Jong and did not let him kneel, "This is not a palace, there is no need for so much etiquette. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." De Jong straightened up and gave a military salute.

"What's going on down there?" King Solas kept looking out of the city and asked nonchalantly. Outside of Riptide Castle, in the hilly terrain illuminated by the light of the twin moons, a large black shadow was slowly wriggling—though it was not clear to see, King Solas knew that it was an army of orcs moving this way.

"Yes...... There were still some families outside the city who couldn't get in, but the city gate had been sealed, so ......" De Jong hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.

"Oh." The muscles in King Soras's cheeks twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Kurbanke sighed in his heart - he saw the tail of the farce under the walls, he probably already knew what was happening - De Jong closed the gates, and some of the inhabitants wanted to go out to inform their relatives and friends who were still outside the city, and a conflict ensued......

Now that this is the case, what else can we do? The orc army is not far from here, even if it is too late to inform those residents now, even if it is told that those residents will attack immediately, there will be people who are reluctant to give up the valuable things at home and insist on taking it away, if that is the case, it will definitely be impossible to reach Riptide Fort before the orcs, not to mention the safety range of the orc army's charge. Besides, how big is the definition of "nearby" by notifying the residents of Fort Riptide to take refuge here? 500 meters, 1,000 meters, or 5,000 meters? Since it is impossible to inform everyone, it is better to be cruel and close the gates as soon as possible - as long as Riptide Castle remains, as long as His Majesty King Solas is alive, the kingdom of Stormgard will still be there; If something goes wrong with Fort Riptide and His Majesty the King, even if a few more people can be saved, what's the use?

"Let go of me, let me pass!" At this moment, a terrible roar came from behind him, De Jong secretly screamed in his heart, and when he looked back, it was really Robin!

Robin, a lame gardener, was grabbed by several court guards and dragged backwards, trying to take him away from the city. However, Robin didn't know where the strength came from, and his hands kept waving wildly, like a mad leopard, staring closely ahead, struggling hard, and the brute force that erupted for a while made the palace guards unable to help him.

"Robin, are you crazy enough!" De Jong didn't even dare to look at King Soras's face, he secretly scolded Robin in his heart for being a mad dog, and at the same time angrily rebuked, "You can see who is in front of you, this is His Majesty, why don't you confess your mistake to His Majesty and ask for forgiveness!" ”
