The city wall in front of Aldolph collapsed in a strong explosion, the city wall collapsed one by one, and the flying stones smashed into the crowd and buildings like hail, and the huge smoke and dust instantly enveloped most of Aldolph City, although the impact of the explosion was limited, but the houses closest to the city wall were all bulldozed, including the military camp that Zhang Hao had built became unrecognizable.

Hans, who was originally a little drowsy, was awakened by the sudden explosion, and looked at the faint ruins in the smoke and dust with an incredible face, "It's really ruthless, this Aldolf city wall is the first time that it has been destroyed so completely, so good, it turns out that the emperor kid used a griffin to pull more people to accompany the funeral, it doesn't matter, come on, I'll fight here today, hum!" Enjoy this last night, my Majesty Karl, for this is a surprise reward. Hans could feel the despair in Karl's heart, and for the first time experienced the life and death of an emperor, which made Hans feel extremely happy.

At this time, Karl felt the same as Hans, but in addition to despair and pain in his heart, this is really a shame for the Roald family, using Rick's Praetorian Guard and Griffin Knight as bait to annihilate the enemy at the cost of destroying the city wall, this is the most shameful day in the entire imperial history, Karl will always remember it in his heart, the monstrous killing intent burned like fire in Karl's eyes, "Sinners, all sinners, if Carl can live, I will definitely cut you with a thousand knives!" "A strong empire needs an iron-blooded king, otherwise no one would dare to challenge the emperor's dignity.

——————

The smoke and dust slowly dispersed in the wind, and the places that were out of sight began to become clearer, and the places that seemed to be covered with a layer of film in the ears gradually became clearer. Painful moans, cries, and cries for help could be heard from the ruins in front of them. Life is fragile, especially for humans.

All the defenders waited quietly, facing the ruins in front of them, no one felt the joy of victory, many of them had lived at the foot of the wall, planting at the foot of the wall, painting on the wall, or lazily leaning on the wall and chatting purposelessly, facing the beasts and ferocious enemies of the outside world, Aldolph's tall and thick wall that stood for a hundred years was like a strong warrior to give people peace of mind, but now, in the face of an invincible enemy, the city wall completed his last mission, He overwhelmed the enemy with his strong body and slept quietly.

At night, with the wind, a cold wind whistling through the ruins of Aldolphe, the civilians of the palace were sent out to clean the battlefield, carefully digging and searching in the moonlight.

At this time, in the dim hall of the palace, Karl sat gloomily on the throne, watching the light mage and the healer constantly treating an old man, and Robert and the others were also powerless to sit on the ground.

Teucer held Old John's head with tears in his eyes, and kept wiping the sweat on his face from the pain, Binny's body was covered with a hemostatic substance similar to gauze, and he stood beside him expressionlessly, the magic of the mage was no longer allowed to be wasted on anyone but Old John, and Bini was destined to leave a hideous scar on his face.

The result of the treatment ended under the mage's faintness and the healer's gentle shaking of his head, even the senior mage could not save Old John's life at this moment, everyone knew it, but they didn't want to admit it.

Seeing the crowd coming up, Old John endured the pain and laughed, "Don't look at me like that, I'm okay"

"Old fellow, let you be reckless again, it's very comfortable now," the witch hunter Chrissy squatted beside Old John, and gently sorted out Old John's clothes with her hands.

"You're not much younger than him, Chrissy" Robert didn't know how to open his mouth to Old John and had to joke about Chriss, but Chrissy didn't reply as before, just smiled and ignored Robert, and the others didn't know what to say, and time passed slowly in this silent and oppressive atmosphere, and Robert went out to take the army to set up the battlefield tomorrow morning.

"Your Majesty Karl," Old John rested for a long time before he had the strength to break the space that seemed to be frozen.

"Huh? Yes, I'm in Lord John" Karl, who didn't know what he was thinking, was called to God by John.

"Give these two lads who have been following me to Lee," John shuddered with each word, and it was evident that it was difficult for him to speak normally.

"No problem Sir John, just ......"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Li will definitely come back, and the empire will not collapse, cough cough cough!" Agitated, John tugged at the wound, and the place where the bleeding had stopped was stained red again.

"Hmm!" Carl didn't say much, now he can only believe that Zhang Hao will come back, "Your Excellency, please rest here, tomorrow's war will be even more cruel, and when I come back again, I will definitely bring you the good news" Carl couldn't bear to see Old John die in his eyes, so he made an excuse and went out, except for Christok and Binny, everyone else also found an excuse to leave.

"Chrissy, can I ask you one more thing?"

"Old thing, there is still so much nonsense at this time?"

"Hehe" is still a familiar recipe "Take me to the highest garden of the palace, I want to see Aldolph again"

"Good!"

There were too many people who lost sleep for various reasons this night, Robert led the remaining troops of less than 2,000 people to build a roadblock for a night, and the whole city was facing the ruins of the city wall to build five lines of defense, and Karl had ordered the throne to be moved to the walls of the imperial city, and the ministers also stood quietly behind Karl, waiting for the sun to rise.

"Whew!!" "Whew!!" "Whew!!" Hans wanted to capture Karl before Richter's reinforcements arrived, so when he was almost ready, he launched a new offensive before dawn, and now there was no shortage of stones on the ground.

"Everybody is not allowed to come out of the bunker," Robert was already at the front line.

In the face of the whistling stones, Karl had no fear at all, just stared fiercely in the direction of the trebuchet, "The emperor of the empire will not surrender for any reason, let alone be afraid of flying stones, this shame will be repaid a hundred times in the future!" ”

The night is getting darker and darker.

"Uncle John, are you cold, shall I add another dress for you?" Teucer asked Old John cautiously, lest he startle the old man with a loud voice.

"No, ahem," Old John trembled and was helped to the highest point in the city.

Old John felt the cold wind howling, quietly listened to the call of the gods, took out a badge from his body, and put him into Teucer's hand, the pain in his body made Old John's clothes that had just been dried by the wind soaked again.

"This is the Sun Knight Badge, with this you can join the Sun Knights," Chrissy said to Teucer the meaning of the badge in place of Old John, who was already speechless.

Old John nodded to Teucer, and with great difficulty, pulled out a pair of gloves and handed him to Binny.

Bini took it with both hands and looked at Chrissy with a questioning look on his face.

"From now on you will be the new butler of the Prince's Palace," Chrissy replied without emotion.

Old John nodded with satisfaction, looked at the place where the sun was rising, looked at the dawn that had just leaked out of the surface, as if he had heard something, and stood up regardless of the pain of the wound, "Did you hear that?" That's the horn of the sun!! "Could it be that the Knights of the Sun have returned from the river? Everyone hurriedly followed the direction of Old John, but there was nothing but a hint of morning light, and when they looked back, Old John had fallen asleep on Chrissy's shoulder with a smile, without pain or exhaustion......
