Chapter 393: The Will to Fight Back (2)

"You should already know that the Earl of Uzaid wanted to assassinate His Majesty in Dryden, and that Miss Letta and I had rescued him, and taken him out of Dryden to Lac City, and decided to fight back, but the first battle was far from ideal," said Coriford, "those archers they had never seen before, easily defeated the knights of Dryden, and had it not been for the timely arrival of the Dryden Shield to support us, and the whole army would have been wiped out that day."

For a world that had never had such a class of longbowmen, Edward's army of longbowmen, who could almost be called experts, was invincible.

"So you've been fighting each other?" Fettnay frowned, "I remember the shield of Dryden......"

"The Shield of Dryden is a well-built army of mages with only 20,000 men, but as you know, a large number of mages are not able to exert their full strength on the battlefield, and sometimes they need cavalry cover, while those longbowmen can easily break through the knights' defenses. Corifo shook his head.

"There are 20,000 people in the shield of Dryden, what about the others?"

"More than 10,000 knights, the rest are ordinary soldiers, in fact...... Those are the most troublesome cases. The thought of this gave Clifford a headache.

"Why?"

"You should know exactly who our enemy is......" Coriford sighed.

Holy See.

Fitney suddenly understood something: "They ...... Don't want to fight. ”

"Yes, for them, the Holy See is the representative of the faith, and they do not dare to fight with the Holy See at all. ”

This is indeed the most difficult problem, and if even the soldiers are not going to fight, then they will not be able to win in this battle.

"The thing they're worried about these days isn't how to defeat those longbowmen...... Those things are important, but ......" Coriford stopped talking.

"But what?"

"Now even the inhabitants of the city have begun to protest, and there are even rumors that His Majesty has betrayed Erentia, and it is all his fault. Corifo bent down slightly and whispered in Fitney's ear, "Perhaps, if we can't win again, or if we can't solve that problem, the Assassin should show up." ”

Fitney's expression was cloudy.

"It's so detailed. By this time, the conductors had finished reading the scroll, and Robert looked up, the hard lines of his face seemed to have eased a little, and he said heartily, "Thank you very much, Count Shevrin...... Miss. ”

"yes, I think we should be able to find a way to beat them here. Misse followed.

Seeing that they had eased slightly, and in fact there was still a clear doubt in their hearts - Fitney knew that it was not necessary for them to mention this in front of him.

"But......" said Fitney, "the rumors in the city, and the so-called causes, are the things to be solved?"

"You just have to beat them. Robert disagreed, "They will always know that the king's leadership is the most important." ”

"Do you mean that the king of the hearts of the commoners will prevail over the goddess in a war......? It's not possible. Fitney frowned and retorted unceremoniously, "It is impossible to win the war with a passive and indifferent attitude, and it is not their personal fault. ”

The atmosphere suddenly stiffened.

"But there's nothing we can do. Misse spoke, and he walked towards Fitney, trying to pat her on the shoulder and comfort her—but Fitney frowned, and took a step back without a trace, leaving his hand empty, so he could only withdraw it, "Civilians always have an easy mind to change. ”

"Miss Shevrin is tired too—anyway, you have brought us good news, and we will take care of the rest of the matter, which is a man's business. Dryden's garrison said.

Fitney understood that if Corifo hadn't told him about it, they would probably be hiding it from him...... No, they don't think it's necessary.

"No, gentlemen!" said a woman from the outside—Fettnay looked at her, Joan of Arc, dressed in white armor, with long silver-white hair and deep purple eyes, and her voice was unwavering, "faith cannot be destroyed, but it must be directed in the right direction." ”

Everyone's eyes were on Joan of Arc, and Robert couldn't help frowning: "Who are you......"

Especially when he was still wearing armor.

"She's my friend," Fitney said, stepping forward, standing beside Joan of Arc, "from other countries, and at one time, she led an army to fight against the enemy who invaded the country. ”

Even if Fitney's words didn't make them believe them immediately, the description was enough to surprise the conductors, who were accustomed to certain traditions.

"As God's spokesman, you should spread equality and fraternity to every corner of the world, not start a war and make people lose their homes!" Joan of Arc was not loud, but it was the most powerful voice heard here.

"Civilians won't understand this. With a rare expression, Monson could see that he did not approve of Joan of Arc's words—or that there was no one who agreed," and that they could not tell in their hearts whether they were just running away from war, and why they should be expected of them. ”

"So they need to be guided. Fitney looked at Monson, "If none of these things can be done, the Kingdom of Luther has no chance and no need to win this war." ”

"You ......" may have been Fitney's words too outrageous, thus making the atmosphere even more rigid.

"Please consider this!" said Joan of Arc, frowning, eagerly.

"Joan of Arc. Fitney interrupted her.

"Miss Fitney......" Joan of Arc looked at her with some bewilderment.

Fitney grabbed her and gave her a look, and Joan of Arc obediently followed Fitney out the door, leaving behind people with different expressions.

"Miss Fitney, do you have any plans?" asked Joan of Arc as Fitney let go of his hand.

"It doesn't make sense. Fitney was silent for a moment, "And, perhaps, the situation here is ...... It's really complicated. ”

"But we can't give up ......," Joan of Arc is still unwilling to give up the possibility.

She couldn't finish her sentence because Corifo ran out from behind and called Fitney's name.

"Lornay!" Corifo rushed over, "I'm sorry, they seem to be talking a little ......"

"I'm used to it. What's the matter?" asked Fitney.

"Misse asked me to take you to where you live...... By the way, you'd like to meet Leyta, right?" said Coriford.

It was only then that Fitney remembered that at the time Corifo said that Letta was also involved.
