The fiery red sun rises in the east.

A ray of blinding sunlight pierced through the thick clouds, illuminating the dim city of Yeovil, as well as the silver-white armor and resolute expressions of the knights gathered near the city gates.

More than 1,000 members of the lower knights, riding tall war horses, gathered in the square.

With the exception of a very small number of wounded soldiers who had to be stationed in the city because of their physical disabilities, everyone had to leave the city.

Jester, the head of the Knights, counted the time and looked around with a sharp gaze, and after confirming that the knights were ready, he said to the lieutenant beside him, "It's almost time to open the gate." ”

"Yes."

The adjutant nodded, and then ordered the knights guarding the gates to open them.

The gate slowly lifted upward, and the drawbridge connecting the inside and outside of the city was lowered with the sound of iron chains rubbing against the ground.

In the previous days, the knights had been doing such things every day, but they knew today that this time it meant something completely different to put down the drawbridge.

Because once they go out, they can't come back.

Jester nodded, drew the knight's sword from his waist, and held it high.

He was about to utter a slogan when a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Wait! I'm going to join too! ”

Jester looked back in amazement to see a green-haired ponytail girl riding a gray horse running towards her.

Jester looked at the girl in confusion and remembered for a few seconds before remembering that he had seen her at the mentor's house yesterday.

"You're, the one from yesterday?"

"yes, I'm here." Kayilu gasped, she had just spent a long time convincing the groom who wanted to follow the knights and escape from the city to sell her the horse, so she had delayed her arrival until now.

"Let me join you, too, I explored the forest yesterday and can show you the way." Kayiru pressed his chest and said, "Also, I have a prop that can sense the presence of enemies, and I believe it can be of great use. ”

"You also want to go on a crusade against the barbarians?" Jester frowned slightly in surprise, as if he didn't quite believe it. In the case of the disparity in the strength of the enemy and the enemy, joining them is not much different from seeking death, is this girl making a choice with the knowledge of this?

Because of the mentor's proof last night, Jester didn't doubt the girl's proposal, and knew that it would be beneficial to them, but he couldn't help but ask, "Do you understand what it means to join us?" ”

"Of course." "But I joined you to help you save the people, not to die. As a British, if you want to fight, you have to win. ”

The girl said, her eyes shining with an unyielding light.

It was as if he firmly believed that he would win in the future, which made Jester, who originally regarded death as home, stunned, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, but his heart was shocked.

He laughed and said, "You're right. If you want to fight, you have to win. We didn't go to die, we did it to save the people. ”

Jester reached out his right hand.

"You're welcome to join us, ma'am. Please help us in our fight. ”

"Leave it to me."

Cairu shook Jester's hand.

Kayilu then looked behind Jester and asked, confused.

"By the way, I was a little concerned about something just now, why are you so human? Didn't I remember that there were nearly three thousand of you? ”

Jester was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "I already sent a team of men two hours ago. We then caught up. After all, something like that happened. ”

Yesterday, Jester heard from Kairu that there were traitors in the city, and he was worried that there would be traitors in the team, and there was a danger of reporting to the enemy, so he changed his decision on the fly.

Otherwise, according to his plan, everyone would have set off at six o'clock.

"Report to the Captain!" The adjutant walked over to this side, "The gate has been opened, when will I go?" Also, I have just received a report from the liaison officer of the First Force, saying that the main force of the barbarians has been successfully fished out. ”

Noticing Jack beside Kayilu, the adjutant gave him a puzzled look, but didn't ask more.

"yes, I see. Excuse me, let's go. Jester nodded, then looked at Kairu, "Well, it's almost time, please follow my group." ”

Kairu nodded.

"Let's go, guys!" Jester raised his shiny knight's sword and swung it forward, "From now on, this is the most important battle for the Knights. ”

"Oh!!"

"For the glory of the Knights!"

"For the glory of the Knights!" The knights said in unison.

"Who are we!?"

"Sword of the Imperial Kingdom of Britain!"

As the horn sounded for the departing march, the knights pulled up the reins and kicked the horses in the belly with the spurs in their boots.

The horses galloped out of the city gates with loud steps. Rows of messy footprints were left behind.

Kairu followed in the middle of the group, behind Jester.

……

An hour later, the team had traveled twenty kilometers.

Jester ordered the group to stop, splitting them into two parts.

To be more precise, a squad of about 100 people is selected from among them.

The members of the squad are all knights with high individual combat ability, including the familiar face of Kayiru, the deputy head of the Knights, Gulha.

"Report to the head of the group, everything is ready." Deputy Commander Gulha ran to Jester's side and reported.

"Good." Jester took a breath.

The barbarians' attention should be on the first troops they sent now, because the direction of the troops is the rebel garrison of Bass, they will definitely try to intercept it, and they must have planned to merge with the rebel garrison to encircle and suppress the knights. As long as the troops sent by themselves adopt the tactics of fighting and running around, they will certainly be able to gain a lot of time.

However, the opponent is not a fool, and it is very likely that they have left another force to attack the city, so Jester has to make another decision.

"Gulha, this hundred-man squad is under your control, I'm going to attack the barbarians' territory to confirm whether they still have an army." Jester finished speaking to Gulha, and then said to Kayalu behind him, "I can't go to the forest with you. Please go to the forest with the deputy commander. ”

"Elite troops?" Kayilu looked at the group of people who had been separated, and thought to herself that there might be a small number.

However, considering that the terrain in the forest was not suitable for cavalry walking, and that it was easy to be exposed when multiple people invaded together, she also accepted this assignment.

"I see, how will I notify you when it's done?" Kailu asked.

"Actually, I borrowed a silver stone from my mentor a few days ago." Jester smiled, "I'll take one piece, I'll give the other to Gulha, if it works, please use that to contact me." ”
