Suddenly, the city could not help but be in chaos, and all the knights resisted one after another, but Thorndike was like a mad dog, and killed more than ten low-ranking knights in a row, and then, laughing, roared: "Mars, Du Wei, Your Highness the Muse has promised to make me an earl, and sooner or later you will be hanged on the torture rack!"

With that, he leaped and jumped off the city.

Thorndike is a mid-level and high-level knight, and it is generally fine to jump off the seven-meter-high castle head, so in the angry roar of the knights at the head of the city, Thorndike fled so easily.

It doesn't end there, though.

The gate of the upper palace, which had not been opened for many years, did not seem to be so easy to open, and the thirteen renegade knights pulled the handle, but they did not pull it open in the slightest, and the knights at the head of the city began to shoot arrows downward, and the three hundred blood sword knights hiding in the corner could only retreat to a hundred meters away.

Du Wei rushed to the city gate first, and the long knife slashed like a horse, and the heads of the two renegade knights instantly splashed into the distance.

"Commander, spare your life!"

Several renegade knights immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but Du Wei glared angrily and said sharply: "The second article of the Royal Knights' Code, those who betray will be killed by a thousand swords, what reason do you have to ask for mercy?"

As a high-level mid-level knight, Du Wei's silver fighting spirit turned into a sword more than a foot long on the long knife, and these low-level knights were completely vulnerable in front of him!

After just a few knives, there were only two knights left, and Du Wei shouted: "Come on, arrest these two traitors, Your Majesty will interrogate!"

Soon, several knights of the Royal Order took the two knights down.

Du Wei went to appease the knights, while Mars and Audrey came to the city gate, he carefully inspected the city gate and only smiled slightly, the design of the upper palace gate is different from the lower palace gate, the lower palace gate only has a latch inside, and the upper palace gate not only has a latch, but also needs the underground chamber winch to pull the steel rope hidden in the wall to open the city gate.

The purpose of this setting is because the gate of the upper palace is not often opened, and it is also for the convenience of defense, after all, the designer probably also took into account the situation that the enemy often breaks in.

At this time, Du Wei came to Mars's side and asked, "Your Majesty, have you found anything?"

Mars smiled: "The design of this gate is a bit interesting, those betrayed knights probably didn't think that the opening of this city gate still requires the underground secret room to turn the winch to open, otherwise, even if you use a crash car, it is estimated that it will take a day to break the city gate." ”

"I see, fortunately, otherwise the gate of the palace will be lost, and we will be finished!" Du Wei looked worried.

Mars asked, "Is there any arrangement for the defense of the upper palace gate?"

Du Wei nodded and said, "Well, I temporarily appointed a deputy head of the regiment, but this requires your approval, so ......"

Mars smiled: "When this war is over, the instructions are that the war is lost, and there is nothing to say." ”

Du Wei suddenly looked worried and said, "Your Majesty, will we lose?"

Mars smiled and said, "Who knows, but whether I win or lose, I will be prepared to lose, because as long as we are alive, everything will have a chance to come again, but if we die like this, then there is no need to say anything." ”

"Your Majesty, you are also ......" Du Wei didn't know what to say.

Mars smiled: "Commander Du Wei, blood is important, but a good commander must consider the possibility of winning and losing, winning must also win beautifully, and losing must also minimize losses, understand?"

Du Wei was stunned for a moment, and he also understood that what Mars said was definitely not untargeted, and he immediately agreed respectfully: "Your Majesty is right, it is the minister who is stupid!"

Mars immediately said: "Okay, since this place is tentative, then we should also return to the lower palace gate, after the muse knows that the upper palace gate has not been successfully captured, he will step up the attack." ”

Lower Palace Gate.

Just when Mars and the other three returned to the lower palace gate, the second wave of attacks of the Blood Sword Legion broke out suddenly, and the attack was so fierce that the knights of the Royal Knights Regiments fell into a bitter battle for a while.

This time the battle lasted for an hour, and the Blood Sword Legion dropped more than 10,000 corpses and retreated, and the Royal Knights also lost nearly 100 people.

And at this moment, on the flank of the Blood Sword Legion, a knight group wearing black armor instantly cut in, they were different from the Royal Knights and the Blood Sword Knights, they held cavalry spears and shields in their hands, and their war horses were also covered with armor, they were completely heavy cavalry.

It was the Knights of the Sunset led by the red-bearded old man Macallan!

Behind the Sunset Knights, a knight dressed in cloth and holding a long sword led a thousand-man knight wearing various armors, which was the queen of the Sunset Knights.

Frank's sword was like a silver viper, harvesting the lives of the Blood Sword Legion soldiers like mowing grass, and the knights who rushed to stop him were not at all the enemies of Frank, the great knight.

The Blood Sword Legion was torn open in the blink of an eye, and this opening was also expanding at a very fast speed, and for a while, the soldiers and knights of the Blood Sword Legion fell one after another, and the entire rear army was in chaos.

The Grand Prince's Muse roared angrily, and it took him a quarter of an hour to organize the knights to resist, but nearly half of the knights were scattered, and less than three thousand knights gathered around him.

However, these three thousand knights are the elite of the Blood Sword Knights, and half of them are mid-level knights.

At the same time, Mars stood at the head of the city and immediately gave an order, "Commander Du Wei, when we attack, abandon the upper palace gate, leave only the guard knights, and the rest of the people will all converge at the lower palace gate!"

Du Wei immediately received the order, sent someone to pass the order, and then issued another order, let the nearly five hundred knights who had just participated in the battle rest, and let the knights who had been resting for a while gather and standby.

A quarter of an hour later, 1,300 knights of the Royal Order had assembled, and Mars ordered the gates to be opened and go out of the city to fight.

But when Mars got on his horse and left the city, he was stopped by Du Wei, who immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty, you can't take any chances, you still wait for me in this city, and let my royal knights fight for Your Majesty!"

Mars was speechless for a while, but he couldn't seem to refuse, he couldn't say that he was a mid-level magician, in that case, it was estimated that something would happen, even if Du Wei didn't rebel, the other knights would definitely rebel, the words "degenerate" and "wizard" were ingrained in their hearts, and it was impossible to change overnight.

"Alright, Commander Du Wei, I'll wait for your triumphant return!" Mars said earnestly.

Then he stretched out his hands and helped Du Wei up.

Du Wei immediately saluted, immediately mounted his horse, shouted, and immediately led the knights of the Royal Knights out of the city gate.
