The royal knights were once again in a state of siege. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
In front of him was the banner of the Holy See, but some of the knights who rushed to it scolded despite their fatigue and pain.
Because under the banner of the Holy See, there is no trace of the commander-in-chief, General Schuckmann, and his entourage and guards.
The Templar, who had already reached the rank of Grandmaster, fled without a fight, without any honor.
Her Royal Highness the silver-eyed princess also showed a look of indignation.
But it was only for a moment.
With a flash of starlight, she slashed down the banner with a sword, then turned her horse back and led the team into the enemy line again.

General Sugarman felt that he had just made a reasonable choice.
There was no need for him to stay where he was and fight hundreds of royal knights and princesses with holy swords, it was not heroic, it was stupid.
It may not be that he will lose, but once he dies in battle, the whole army will lose its unified command and fall into chaos.
His duty did not allow him to be brave and brave, and when he saw that the battle situation was not right, he immediately left behind the broken troops and retreated on his own.

It had been several generations since a member of the royal family had been able to wield the Holy Sword and Sacred Armor, so no one could truly know the terrifying power of these two royal treasures.
Although there are many historical records about them, they are too legendary and lack of authenticity in the eyes of later generations.
What "destroying a city with a wave of his hand" or something, most people thought that it was just a praise of the shameless literati at that time.
But these two treasures in the hands of the princess, although far from being able to destroy a city with a wave of the hand, really played an incredibly huge role on the battlefield.
"Then the legendary princess turned the tide with the power of 'Starlight' in her hand in the rebellion of the undead in the south, even if it is not true, it should not be exaggerated too much...... And this time, the power of the holy sword seems to be even greater than rumored, is it still growing? β
General Schugman pondered as he retreated: "Fortunately, it is said that even this 'Valkyrie Princess' cannot use 'that thing', otherwise according to the history books, I am afraid that I will be wiped out directly." β
"General, look!"
He had just issued a few instructions with teleportation magic, when a guard next to him suddenly shouted and interrupted his thoughts.
He looked back and saw that the princess had been chasing after her knights, apparently having broken through the forces he had left behind.
The royal knights were now covered in blood and looked like mad demons, but their numbers were not much lost, and their morale was indescribably high.
Especially the silver-eyed girl in the lead.
Although it was still far away, the pair of eagle-like silver eyes stung his eyes.
General Schugman turned his head away from him and continued to drive his horse away.
However, the papal ace troops and the 10,000-strong reserve of the besieging army that had been arranged up and down the hill were again surrounded under his command.
It is true that the penetration is several times stronger than expected, and the block is not so easy to block.
But I don't believe that I can't really besiege it.

Suddenly, the horns of the defenders of Said, who had been besieged and attacked, sounded in unison.
Then, the gates opened, and a large army swarmed out, led by elite soldiers of the Royal Praetorian Guard, a thousand strange mercenaries, and several magical golems several meters high.
Except for some aristocratic troops, city defenders, and the princess's troops drawn from the imperial city, most of these soldiers rushed out of the rabble with little training, but they stood at the head of the city and saw with their own eyes that the heroic and beautiful Valkyrie broke through several formations with hundreds of cavalry, and even rushed into the enemy's main position, cut down the enemy's banner, and chased the enemy commander in all directions with nowhere to hide.
It looked like they were getting blood pumping all over their bodies.
- Even though it was a Valkyrie, could it be that such a girl was allowed to fight in front of her, and that she and the men were hiding behind the walls to survive?
ββWhat are we here for? Isn't it just to resist the rebellion of the Papal Army and protect the royal family and Her Royal Highness the princess herself?
Coupled with the fact that they had been pressed to siege the city for a whole day, these people were already angry.
As soon as the horn of the attack sounded, the defenders of Said, like bloodthirsty beasts, screamed and launched a counterattack.
The Papal Army is the opposite.
Although the quality of the soldiers was much higher, after a whole day of attacking, not to mention heavy losses, it can be said that the results of the battle were almost non-existent.
Now that it was getting dark, it was time to stop the siege as planned.
The so-called vigorous, lazy during the day, and return at dusk.
The soldiers in the city were already demoralized.
And the shuai banner on the mountain was cut down, which dealt a heavy blow to their morale.
At this time, the charge of the soldiers in the city just achieved the effect of "avoiding its sharp spirit and hitting its lazy return".
Under the leadership of the elite striker, the morale was high and the defenders of Said, who were very well armed by the local tyrant city lord, fought a painful and happy battle, and pushed the enemy troops under the city back in one fell swoop.
Several elite military formations have even collapsed.
ββββββββββββββ
Seeing this situation, although continuing to besiege the princess was a very tempting option, General Sugarman decided to withdraw his troops first.
The two royal treasures in the princess's hands don't know how long they can hold out for her, and the morale of the defenders is like a rainbow, and no matter how greedy they are, they are afraid that the whole army will be wiped out.
The order was handed down again, and the Templar guards of the Papal Army's Protector Legion, the unwounded Guardian of Light, and the remaining Templars formed a defensive formation, receiving the rout as they retreated, and slowly retreated.
He himself had retreated into the army, heavily protected.
The defenders of Sede chased after them for a while, and seeing that the opponent's formation was in good order, they suffered several losses from the holy light of the legion under the temptation, and the night had fallen again, so they also retreated and returned, and left people to clean the battlefield and treat the wounded.
Most of the sleepy royal knights were really unable to fight, not to mention attacking the enemy's main formation again, and it was difficult to maintain a sitting posture on horseback.
So they returned to the city with Her Royal Highness the Princess, and received the cheers of the people from above and below the city.
Although the knights were sleepy and even wounded at this time, they still tried to keep their waists straight.
Just because the shadow shrouded in the hazy starlight that is now at the forefront of them is the beautiful Valkyrie who leads them to victory.
Can't disgrace her.

Night.
Said's Residence.
The clerk, Yuri, rushed in at the first time, and after looking around, she found Her Royal Highness the princess, who had fallen asleep against the trunk of the tree before she could take off her armor under the big tree in the garden.
In today's siege battle, Yuri is not a direct commander, but also commands the magic puppets at the head of the city to attack the enemy together.
After that, she found that the princess who was not worrying about it suddenly rushed out with someone and tried her best.
She was worried at the time, but she couldn't do anything about it, and she wanted to jump out of the city to help.
As an admirer, she knew very well why Her Royal Highness the princess would do that.
She pushed herself into such a dangerous decapitation operation just to keep her troops dead.
ββββββββββββββββββ
It wasn't until Elizabeth returned in triumph as a Valkyrie that Yuri was relieved.
Looking at Her Royal Highness the princess's serene and beautiful sleeping face, she unconsciously burst into tears.
"This shouldn't be a burden for a girl your age."
ββββββββββββββββββββββ
In an underground wine cellar in the Lord's Mansion of Said.
A wine cabinet suddenly split in half from the middle, revealing a dark hole.
The lord of Bailuo was holding the wine bottle, and he was groggily lifted out of the cave by the middle-aged swordsman.
The decadent swordsman pursed his lips and sneered: "It's been a long time since the fight outside, and you dare to come out now." It's okay if you can't drink enough, and your guts are like a chicken. How embarrassing I should be to follow a boss like you. β
Who knew that although the city lord couldn't walk the road, his consciousness still existed, and he only argued inarticulately: "You know a fart...... Here's a covert security ...... Two...... What are you going to do......"
Before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged swordsman, who had been bored just now, suddenly had a sharp look in his eyes, and threw himself back into the secret passage of the cave when he mentioned his employer, who was basically delirious.
The cold light flashed, and the sword was unsheathed.
