Ataquay walked down the walls and into the castle.

The castle was well guarded, but most of the soldiers had already reached the walls, and only a few knights stood vigilantly in the doorway with their weapons in the castle.

"Go and get your horses and supplies ready, hurry," Ataqui shouted to the knights as he stormed into the castle.

The earl's eldest young master died in the Cold Iron Fortress, and the eldest lady was the oldest, and she had been married many years ago. The second young master, Sirigon, and the third daughter, Silina, had been sent out by the earl a long time ago, so only the second young lady and the third young master were currently staying in the castle.

"Ma'am." Ataquay ran into the room sweating profusely, and saw the Earl's third young master holding a weapon, glaring and about to rush out of the door, while the countess grabbed the third young master's arm and begged bitterly not to let him go out.

Ataqui knew what the third young master wanted to do, the heirs of the Renault family never lacked blood, and the eldest young master died in the Cold Iron Fortress.

"Third Young Master, you can't go out." Ataqui blocked the door, first nodded to the lady, and then said to the third young master: "Lord Earl asked me to take you away, I have asked the knights to prepare their horses, and leave immediately." ”

"Butler, you take my mother and sister with you, how can I, as the third son of the Renault family, escape?" The third young master wanted to push away Atakui, who was blocking the door, but Atakui, who was thin and weak in the past, was extremely resolute today, he grabbed the door frame, looked at the third young master, and said loudly: "Third young master, do you want to see the continuation of the Renault family cut off?" ”

"My second brother is still alive, what's the big deal if I die?" The third young master roared, he stretched out his hand and was about to forcibly push Ataqui away, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he felt the back of his head sink and fainted.

"Butler, hurry up and leave with them." In the second young lady's exclamation, the lady took the scabbard and slammed it on the back of the third young master's head. She dropped her scabbard and commanded the butler.

"Yes, ma'am." Ataqui recovered quickly from the initial shock, and now this is the only way to go. He summoned the knight to carry the third young master out, and tied him to the saddle firmly after he was unconscious.

The second lady reluctantly said goodbye to her wife, with tears on her face.

"Hurry up, Lord Earl won't be able to stand for long." Madame shook off her daughter's hand, pushed her away, and said, "Remember that you are the daughter of the Renault family, don't embarrass the Renault family." ”

"Yes... Mother. The second lady wiped her tears, glanced at her mother, and left with the knight.

"Madame, won't you go along?" Ataquay arranged the second lady and came back to ask Madame.

The Countess looked up from the window at the warriors who were fighting bloodily on the walls, and she smiled, and the cold wind blew, and she was like a violet flower blooming in the cold of winter. She said to Ataqui, "I am the Count's Lady and the Lady of the Leno family, how can I abandon this family I love at this time?" Butler, take the two of them first, and if you meet Hirigan and Lina later, tell them that their mother has always loved them dearly. ”

"It's a pity that I can't attend the wedding of my two daughters." This was Madame's last sigh.

With her slender sword in hand, she walked up to the city wall without hesitation, and the slender back was the last thing Ataquay saw. Ataquay wiped away his tears fiercely, turned around and yelled, "Go... Come on... Look, the countess are buying time for us. ”

"Yes, sir." The knights mounted their horses, took one last look at the broken banner, turned and shouted and walked away.

on the city walls.

The Count led the warriors to fend off the orcs to the death, but without the suppression of archers and long-range weapons, the orcs rushed to the city wall in an endless stream. Tired warriors, fighting the orcs with blood.

The Earl held his sword to block the orc's blow, and the huge force made the earl take a step back unsteadily, and the orc roared wildly, holding the axe and striking again. The cold weather in the Northland had already frozen a thick layer of ice and snow on the city walls, and even the steaming blood was frozen into ice on the walls. The orc's feet slipped, and the huge battle axe slashed at the ground on the side of the count's head, and the shattered ice cut through the earl's face like a sharp blade.

The pain in his face was reflected by the Count, who raised his sword and plunged it into the orc's waist. Poof...The surging blood splattered the Earl, who staggered to his feet, brandished his sword, and slashed the orc's head with a single sword.

"Whew...," the Count let out a long breath and looked at the battlefield on the city walls, where the few warriors were gradually showing signs of decline, and were retreating step by step. And the orcs who climbed the walls were more and more, greenskins, goblins, gnolls, their fierce and fearless attackers of their own warriors.

"I can't hold it." The Earl knew that the Ice Castle could not be defended, he looked at the black pressure of the orc army outside the city, this time the orcs planned to capture the Ice Castle at one time, they would not retreat, nor would they retreat, and capturing the Ice Castle was their ultimate goal.

"Your Excellency." A familiar voice sounded behind him, and for the first time, the count's face covered with wind and frost showed a smile, a happy smile, and a happy smile.

"Madame," the Count turned to look at the woman who had been married to him since she was sixteen years old, who had been with her for half her life, who had given birth to three daughters and three sons, the woman who did not abandon herself at the last moment, the woman whom she loved so much. He stretched out his hand, his rough palms covered with calluses, as if he was afraid of hurting her delicate skin, and his movements were gentle, gentle. "I knew you wouldn't leave me, ma'am." The Earl said softly.

"I'm your woman, how could I leave you at this time." Madame tilted her head slightly, feeling the roughness and warmth of those big hands with her face. "The butler has already taken the two of them away, you don't have to worry." Madame said.

The Earl nodded, withdrew his hand, looked at the woman he loved deeply, and said with a smile: "Madame, can you go to the battlefield with me?" ”

Madame smiled and raised the long sword in her hand, "My lord, I will be with you. ”

"Haha......." the Count laughed, leading the last of his soldiers towards the orc troops.

On the mountain road, Ataquay rode on his horse, listening to the voices in his ears getting smaller and smaller, and looked back at the direction of the Ice Castle with a worried face.

"Madame, Lord Earl, you must be well." Ataqui prayed in his heart to God the Father, who was so devout.

At this moment, a cold wind blew, and a broken flag fluttered in the wind, and Ataqui's old face suddenly burst into tears, he knew this flag, and it was because of this that he knew what it meant.

He knew - the Renault family was gone!
