But humans give rhythm to sound, and that is music; Bestow ordinary day rituals, that is, festivals; Giving the butcher responsibility and faith, that is the knight. β
- The Song of Roland
β¦β¦
A night of fierce fighting passed.
The sun had not yet risen, but the eastern sky was already faintly lit.
The walls were littered with the corpses of soldiers and monsters, and the forts and forts were in flames.
"Poof!"
As the scarred Gavin stabbed his sword into the heart of the last ghoul, the city walls fell completely silent except for the "whooping" cries of zombies and skeleton soldiers under the city walls.
"Captain Gavin! Hold on! We held it! A paladin looked around and shouted excitedly.
The seven or eight remaining paladins also raised their weapons and cheered.
"Whewβ" Garvin let out a long sigh.
"Bang!" But with the sound of a silver sword falling to the ground, several people who survived the catastrophe turned their heads again.
I saw a paladin who was also cheering and froze in the distance, and his hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.
"End...... Finished! β
A few people followed the paladin's gaze, only to see that to the east of T Fortress, a large area of black and oppressive monsters attacked again.
"Was it just a tentative attack? Not really an attack? Jiawen, who was relieved, looked into the distance and frowned again.
Several paladins who were frozen in place froze in even more despair, unable to say a word.
I saw the second wave of monster attacks from afar, and the walking monsters on the ground were no longer a single ghoul.
The two-meter-tall centaur led the charge with four hooves, and with a flick of the bone two-handed axe in his hand, he directly threw out the zombies and ghouls that were dangling in front of him.
The body resembles a butcher with a ball of flesh sewn together with needles and threads, and his body exudes a green miasma visible to the naked eye, constantly driving away the advance of the monsters with the rusty butcher knife in his hand.
And what worries Jiawen the most is the cyclops who can be seen at a glance, even a few meters taller than the walls of the fortress.
Walking with the footsteps that shake the ground, leaving one deep footprint after another on the ground.
Carrying a square hammer on his shoulder, a one-eyed man with the diameter of an adult on his head, was also looking at the few remaining Gavin on the city wall.
This wave of monster attacks, both in terms of number and type, is not comparable to the previous wave of attacks.
"You guys go first, it should be too late to evacuate along the dungeon passage now." Gavin saw that several paladins who had survived the catastrophe were scarred, and knew that it was impossible for them alone to resist the advance of the monsters.
"Where's Captain Gavin?"
"I, wait until I get rid of the cyclops, and come later, if I leave it alone, I'm afraid it will pose a threat to the city walls.
We were not able to complete the task of defending, but at the very least, we had to leave a complete wall for the reinforcements of the crusaders as we retreated.
Otherwise, you're going to be looked down upon by those guys! β
"But......" The paladin looked at Gavin's serious eyes, and then at the monsters surging east of T Fortress, but still didn't say anything.
"Then Captain Garvin must be careful!" After a moment's hesitation, several paladins chose to leave.
"Alas! Knowing this, it would have been better to retreat in the first place. Listening to the departing footsteps of several paladins disappear, Gavin sighed as he looked around the messy battlefield full of soldiers.
Then he pulled out a photo from the pocket on the inside of his jacket.
In the photo, Jiawen, who was sweating profusely, was ridden by the neck of a little boy who held up a wooden sword in his hand and shouted with his mouth open, and a woman in a white dress on the side also covered her mouth with one hand, watching the two fathers and sons squint and smile.
"Bonnie, I must take care of our son when I am away, but don't let him be fooled by those guys and join the crusade." Garvin wiped the photo with his thumb and finally kissed it before putting it back in his pocket.
Jiawen's eyes changed, and his head was raised as he lowered his head to look at the photo, looking at the cyclops in front of him.
"Anyone else?" But Jiawen just wanted to draw his sword, but turned his head because of the sudden sound of footsteps behind him.
I saw that the few paladins who had evacuated before ran back out of breath.
"You ...... What are you guys doing with the rubbish! Get all of this back! Seeing the first glance of a few people coming back, Jiawen was a little moved, but instantly scolded again.
"Hmph, the captain wants to kill the cyclops alone to steal the credit? No way! After so many years of being born and dying with you, all the previous exploits were robbed by you alone! Now this piece of fat can no longer be swallowed by you! "A paladin didn't give Gavin a good face either.
The others also looked angry, "yes, yes".
Hearing that several paladins were dying and wanted to "grab credit" with themselves, Jiawen's eyes were hot, and he smiled with red eyes.
"Well, this last battle, I will also leave a few places for you on the monument of the martyrs!"
Hearing Jiawen's words, several paladins also had hot eyes and laughed.
"Boom!"
I saw Jiawen draw his sword, and with his other hand, he also pulled out the blue and white holy land lion flag inserted in the city, and jumped down from the large number of zombies and skeletons under the city wall.
"Bang bang bang!"
Several other paladins also jumped from the high walls.
Following Jiawen, who was waving a sword in one hand and holding a flag in the other, he rushed back against the incoming army of monsters.
"Valor, sacrifice, honor, spirit, fighting for the defenseless, unswerving ...... to the death of what you love"
Led by the Holy Land Lion Banner and facing the first light of dawn, several paladins carried their first oath and charged unstoppably like chariots.
In the posture of knights, one after another fell on the battlefield this final destination.
Only one person was left holding the lion banner of the Holy Land in his hand, waving the sword in his hand, and letting the wind sway his torn shirt towards the cyclops whose footsteps were enough to shake the earth.
"Yikes! Go to hell! Brute! Garvin yelled at the cyclops, and the sword in his hand flashed with a dazzling golden light, slashing at the bonecrusher hammer under the cyclops.
"Boom!"
Just as the swords and hammers were about to collide, a thunderbolt fell from the sky.
"Bang!" With a bang, thunder and lightning fell from the sky, with splashes of hot black flames and a wild storm, directly hit the Cyclops's head, and exploded a ring of black flames on the Cyclops's head.
"Woo-oh!" The Cyclops let out a long hiss, too, and fell backwards.
"Boom" fell, kicking up a puff of smoke and dust, crushing the large group of monsters behind him into pulp.
"Boom, boom!"
The cannonballs flying from a distance also exploded next to Jiawen, one by one, blowing up all the monsters beside Jiawen into flying minced meat.
"The Son of a Two...... Finally...... Watching as the lightning storm swept away, Frey and Anna appeared, and the paladin, who had fallen to the ground with a mouth full of blood, cursed again, and then closed his eyes.
