The imperial city of the Luonan Empire, the imperial capital of the world's strongest empire in Madilan, has lost the bustling scene of the past, the civilian area is not half a human figure, the garbage on the stone-paved streets is not cleaned, the garbage is scattered in the wind, and the only living creatures are stray wild dogs looking for food.

In the closed houses, the civilians did not bother to care about these wild dogs roaming outside, sniffing and flirting, they stayed in their houses, waiting for the judgment of fate.

On the wide avenue of the Imperial City, a group of soldiers in armor was trotting towards the city walls.

In the procession, the soldier Seir followed the procession while observing the shops on both sides of the road, these shops in the prime area of the Imperial Capital Avenue almost all belonged to the dignitaries of the Luonan Empire, and any one of the things in the shops could make a civilian eat for several years.

However, the shops that brought a steady stream of wealth to their owners were closed by this time, and the precious items in the houses had been transferred.

Seyl couldn't help but have a mocking smile on his face, these big men who are usually high up on the ground can run faster than anyone else after the crisis comes.

Soldier—Seir despised the fleeing nobles, and then turned his gaze to the charismatic middle-aged man at the front of the line, his eyes showing deep reverence.

Only a nobleman who has the courage to take on a role like Lord Saroyan is a true nobleman.

The commander of the Saryan in Seyer's mouth is the commander of the Praetorian Guard of the Imperial City, and he is also a high-ranking nobleman with the title of count, and he is also a famous military strategist in the world of Madiran.

It was precisely because of the charismatic commander that Saroyan led the charismatic commander that Seil and other soldiers were willing to follow him in this battle that had no chance of winning.

Seir remembered that the other day, before the orcs had reached the Imperial City, the Commander of Saroyan called out all the brothers of the Praetorian Guard.

First of all, he sent his only son and the soldiers with families out of the ranks, distributed all his family wealth to these soldiers, and ordered them to leave the imperial city.

Then, Commander Saroyan said only one word to the remaining soldiers.

"Those who are willing to die with me stay, and others can leave. ”

The audience was silent, stunned that no one left, Saroyan took out all the delicacies in the Praetorian Guard's warehouse, and led the soldiers to empty the cellars of the major taverns in the empty imperial capital, and after a few days of drunken dreams and death revelry, the orcs came.

So there was a scene in front of me.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard, Saroyan, walked briskly through the walls of the capital of God, dressed in thick gray armor and carrying a broad-bladed greatsword on his back, almost as tall as himself, and the wind ruffled his flaxen hair, revealing the terrible scar on his resolute face, which was embedded in Saroyan's face like a large centipede.

This scar is definitely disfigured on the face of ordinary people, but on the face of this strong and charismatic commander, there is a different kind of charm, which makes people can't help but be in awe of this man who has experienced life and death for the empire.

"Quick! Go to the city walls! Brave warriors of the Empire, return to your posts, shoot dragon cannons, and get your crossbow arrows ready!"

As he directed his soldiers in their preparations for battle, he observed the approaching orc army outside the city, and when he saw five dragons flying in the sky in the distance, his eyes lit up with mad hatred, and he remembered his three sons.

Saroyan's full name is Saroyan Davidson, and the Davidson family is a world-famous military nobleman in Madilan, and it is their family's tradition to join the army and serve the empire.

As always, the three adult heirs of this generation of Davidson family all served in the military, and in the spirit of risk aversion, Saroyan had his three children serve in different regions.

But he never expected that the emperor would send most of the empire's elite troops to Blade Fortress with a paper order, and there happened to be three of his heirs.

Needless to say, the Davidson family was at the end of the day, and when he received the news, Saroyan felt that the sky had fallen.

Saloyan stood on the tall city wall, looking at the five flying dragons in the sky in the distance, and had the will to die, even if it was death, I would drag an evil dragon to bury him.

The dense dragon cannons and giant killers on the walls of the imperial capital gave him plenty of confidence.

Determined to die, Saroyan looked back at the self-contained castle at the end of the Imperial City Boulevard, which was the residence of His Majesty the Emperor of the Luonan Empire.

Thinking of the country for which he had devoted his life, Saroyan's heart was saddened, and he understood that the Luonan Empire was about to fall.

This is obvious, from the common people down to the emperor.

Saroyan thought of the Emperor, the emperor to whom he was loyal, and he was furious that the Emperor had not issued a single military order since the provincial city he had concentrated his forces had been breached by the Orcs.

So much so that at one point the people thought that their emperor had fled.

Until the Emperor issued a proclamation to all the common people in the Imperial City, the content of the proclamation was only one sentence: according to the information of the previously occupied cities, the orcs would not kill innocents indiscriminately, and would hide at home during war.

The commoners, who could not afford to flee, were somewhat appeased, and understood that the Emperor had not fled.

However, as the commander of the forbidden army, the emperor always knew that the emperor was still in the palace, but for him, this was no different from escaping, because the emperor was so desperate that he gave up resistance.

As early as a few days ago, the emperor dismissed his servants and let the princes and grandsons flee the imperial city disguised as civilians.

Saroyan could understand the emperor's approach, but he couldn't accept it, and resentment against the emperor arose in his heart.

But His Majesty the Emperor himself did not run away, which still gave Saroyan and the others a little psychological comfort.

At least, their emperor was not a coward who feared death.

The approaching orc army gave Saloyan no energy to think, and he touched the scar on his face, the scar ached faintly, and he couldn't help but think of the hateful orc.

The scar was a gift from a dying orc chief when Saroyan was a young man, while serving in Blade Fortress.

National hatred, family hatred, coupled with personal grudges, this is the reason why Saroyan stayed desperately to find the orcs and dragons.

Leap over the deserted Imperial City Boulevard, through the thick and tall city walls, and over the flower-filled garden paths, in the palace hall of the Luonan Empire.

The Emperor of the Roland Empire wore the imperial robe of the previous dynasty and sat on a golden throne, which was inlaid with colorful gemstones, centered on a huge golden gem, in the form of a peacock open screen, showing the royal luxury.

This golden throne is the first emperor of the Luonan Empire, collected treasures from all over the world, and ordered craftsmen to build it in half a year, and successive Luonan emperors have sat on this throne and accepted the worship of ministers and envoys from various countries.

For thousands of years, the throne was still as bright as new, but in just a few days, the person sitting on the throne seemed to be dozens of years old.

The emperor leaned on the throne, his original black hair had turned into silver threads like snow, and the luxurious imperial robe could not hide the aging and powerlessness of his body owner.

"Why don't you leave?"

The Emperor's tired voice reached the ears of the three people below, and the three people standing quietly below raised their heads when they heard this.

One was a middle-aged man dressed in a civil official uniform, with a little silver thread in his hair, and the corners of his eyes had begun to wrinkle, but it could be vaguely seen from his handsome face that this civil official was also a handsome and dashing talent when he was young, and he heard the emperor's question and opened his mouth to answer.

"Your Majesty, when I stepped into the court, I swore before you that I would live with the Empire, and now it is time to fulfill my vow. ”

Hearing this, a rare smile appeared on the emperor's face, and then his face showed bitterness.

"In my Great Luonan Empire, the court of nearly 100 people, you are the only one who remembers this oath, Langma Khan, why did you stay?"

An Imperial General in thick armor and two heads taller than ordinary people, Langma Khan, replied loudly.

"More than ten years ago, Your Majesty, you left my life in the battle for succession, and treated my family and soldiers well, and my life of Langma Khan is yours. ”

The voice of this famous executioner of the empire was like thunder, which made the emperor's ears itch, but at this time, he did not mean the slightest blame.

"It's rare that you remember, it's good, it's good. ”

The Emperor didn't ask any questions, and one of the remaining old men in a waiter's robe took the initiative to speak.

"Your Majesty, my legs are too old to walk, so I choose to die with you, hahaha. ”

The Emperor couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, but he laughed and laughed and laughed with tears, of course he knew the real reason why the old man stayed, in fact, he was just asking the first two for the reason for staying.

This old man is the emperor's teacher from childhood to adulthood, and he is also the guard brought by the emperor's mother from her mother's house, the royal family has no relatives, and since the emperor's mother died, this old man has been by his side.

Compared with his father, who has hardly met a few times, this old man is more like his father, who taught him swordsmanship and culture since he was a child, became a pioneer in the later battle for succession, and later became a minister in the court, assisting the emperor in managing the world, this old man has accompanied him all his life, and now, he will also accompany him to death.

"Good! good!"

The Emperor shouted three times in a row.

"Before I die, the three of you are willing to accompany me, and I am not too much of a failure in this life. ”

A few days earlier, the Emperor had dismissed his army and servants, and at this time, only these four men were left in a huge palace.

At this time, the civil official also said curiously.

"Your Majesty, knowing that you can't resist those monsters, why didn't you leave with the prince and grandson?"

"Leave?"

Hearing the question of the civil official, the emperor was not annoyed, he sighed and asked rhetorically.

"Where can I go?"

Boom, boom, boom!

At this time, the earth-shattering sound of war entered the palace, and the emperor was not frightened in the slightest, but only felt a little surprised.

"Oh, didn't I order the army to be dismissed and the gates opened? Why are these orcs still attacking the walls?"

The Emperor issued a proclamation to pacify the populace and dismissed his servants and army, and then lost contact with the outside world, so he was ignorant of the actions of Saroyan and others.

The executioner of the empire, Langma Khan, replied.

"Your Majesty, Your Excellency Commander Saroyan and several other lords are also willing to live and die with the Empire, and they are fighting the orcs on the walls. ”

The Emperor knew about Saroyan's situation, and his face was cloudy, and it didn't take long for him to sigh helplessly.

"Forget it, let them go. ”

The four of them were not in charge of the flood outside the gate, and they talked about it.

"Shoot the arrows!"

On the city walls, Saroyan looked at the enemy with a shield above his head, braving a rain of arrows, and began to charge from a distance, feeling extremely annoyed.

Because, his enemies are not orcs, but humans.

"These damned betrayers!"

Not only Saroyan, but also the soldiers were very angry, after all, Erwuzai was much more hateful than the enemy.

Arrows kept coming out, but all of them hit the shield with little effect.

Bang!

At this time, another stone projectile from the distance of the catapult group, across the parabola hit the city wall, the hard city wall of the Luonan Empire instantly cracked, and shallow craters appeared on the city wall.

Saroyan, who leaned over and hid under the battlements, felt the entire wall tremble.

There were also stone bullets that hit the battlements, instantly smoothing out the protruding battlements, leaving a bloody bullet mark covered with mosaics.

Hit by a stone bullet, he is not dead or disabled.

Saloyan was just about to make his head, but a crossbow bolt flew past with the sound of the wind, grazing his helmet.

Immediately, the screams of the soldiers being shot by crossbow arrows reached the commander's ears.

Saloyan's teeth were clenched, and his heart was almost desperate, and the moment the orc army's bed crossbows fired, he began to understand why some cities had surrendered without a fight.

The range of these orc bed crossbows was so great that they were almost completely submerged when they were shot at the city walls, and the orc army could attack the city walls with their bed crossbows while standing outside the range of the dragon cannons.

This is by no means a technology that orcs can have!

Saroyan didn't know where the orcs' skills came from, but he knew that his goal of slaying dragons was going to fail.

Not to mention slaying dragons, even if you kill a few orcs, you may not be able to do it, these damn orcs actually let the traitors who surrendered to fight the vanguard!

Saroyan was sad and indignant.

After a round of attacks, Saroyan stood up and shouted.

"Shoot back!"

While the orcs are out of range of the dragon cannon, the human traitors operating the trebuchets are within range.

The surviving soldiers hurriedly ran to the operating table of the dragon cannon, and a moment later, one after another, the crossbow arrows struck the trebuchet in the distance.

Looking at the broken trebuchet, Saroyan was relieved and felt more and more sad and angry, because the trebuchet and the dragon cannon were both war weapons produced by the empire, but now they were used for internal friction.

In the distance, the White Dragon Lord hovered above the sky with the five dragons that helped the orcs, observing the battle situation below, seeing the orc's strategy, he couldn't help but praise.

"Pretty smart!"
