Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Woo~~"

Gently pulling the reins, the jujube red horse slowly stopped like an old man who had been in tacit agreement for many years, shook his head and gently rubbed his master's arm with his slender neck, his huge eyes were full of curiosity and incomprehension

Stroking the supple mane of the war horse, the heavily armed Saru stopped in the city wall in some surprise, and the expression on his face changed several times in an instant, there was happiness, relief and a trace of inexplicable contradictions

He didn't need to make a close look at the source of this movement, there was no other possibility than a large and well-trained army, and at this time, perhaps the only answer was the main force from the northern Principality of Pande, Leo

Subconsciously shaking his head slightly, Saru turned his head to look at the Knights of Glory who followed behind him, and as expected, what he saw in the eyes of many people was not ecstasy but unconcealable consternation

It is no wonder that they have long been mentally and physically prepared to help their knights with the belief of death, but on the eve of their generous death, they find that they seem to be no longer needed, which is like punching out but hitting the cotton makes people feel extremely uncomfortable and depressed

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Saru could only smile bitterly, at this time, if he still had to force out of the city to fight, it was undoubtedly the most stupid act, not to mention whether it would disrupt the deployment of allies, and it might also lead to the balance of the battlefield situation being broken again

Perhaps seeing that the atmosphere was too weird, the deputy head of the Glory Knights, who was one of Saru's lieutenants, took a few steps forward, approached the other party and said softly

"Look, sir? Everyone is waiting for your orders, and I can swear that no matter what happens, the enthusiasm of the lads to fight heroically has not diminished in the slightest, so? ”

The right hand holding the hilt of the sword tightened and loosened several times, and Saru let out a long breath of turbid breath and said with some interest

"There is no need, at least for now, let everyone disband on the spot and resume the garrison according to the original defense area and establishment, we can't let the city that could be defended have an unforeseen crisis in this situation, otherwise the history books will portray us as stupid people who don't know how to describe it anyway......"

Nodding, the figure of the deputy head of the regiment conveying the order had not gone far, and there was a deliberately sharp voice unique to the nobles on the side of the road

"Praise the gods, I told you before Your Excellency Saru, you only need to protect the safety of the imperial capital, as for the group of demons outside, it can be completely solved by the hillbillies and other nobles in the northern territory to lead reinforcements, you must understand that the continuation of the bloodline of the Bernadote royal family and the continuation of the empire is the thing we need to pay attention to the most!"

Out of the corner of his eye, the corner of his eye swept to the speaker who was walking briskly, and Saru forced the thought of spitting on the other party and spoke

"At a time when most of the people of the Imperial Capital have only enough food to eat, and when the commoners are contributing their houses and negligible possessions to help defend the city, I can't understand why you and the people around you should use luxurious golden carriages to show the dignity of the so-called nobles, and to hell with that ridiculous demeanor, you and your companions should go to the palace at this time to accompany His Majesty the Emperor, instead of appearing here, pointing fingers at me, and at the warriors who have protected your wealth with their lives, do you think?" Honorable 'Your Excellency Duke Nalan?' ”

The area near the gate had been trampled and destroyed by months of fighting, blood mixed with the missing fire oil emitting a pungent smell in the dirt

The middle-aged man known as the Duke of Nalan cautiously approached Saru with the support of the maid, and the occasional black dot splashed on his clean little lambskin boots made the duke have a look of fear and disgust on his face

Standing beside Saru, Nalan looked at Saru without a trace of dismounting, and a little anger flashed in the depths of his eyes, but the racial expertise exclusive to the noble group allowed him to hide his emotions well, and he loosened the white silk scarf covering his mouth and nose, and His Excellency the Duke bowed slightly with impeccable etiquette

"Your kindness is admirable and respectable, Your Excellency, oh yes, those civilians have sacrificed a lot for their own survival, I believe that after the war, the young Majesty will reward them generously, and you, as the commander-in-chief of the defense of the imperial capital, will bring you incomparable honor, I think, maybe the nobles will agree that you will truly inherit the great title of [Heavenly Knight]!"

"Hehe......"

The cold laughter did not seem to interrupt the conversation of Duke Nalan, and several nobles followed him cautiously approached this side, but judging by their wandering eyes and frightened looks, at least these people had mustered up a rare courage to come to the edge of the city wall

"Leo...... Well, the arrival of His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Leo may be able to convince us of your impulses, just as we have asked you before, Lord Saru, do not forget that you have always been a soldier of the Empire, and you must not forget that your mission is to protect the city and protect the blood of the royal family of Bernadotte, and not to impulsively join the battle like a reckless young man, look at how sad Aeoris's sacrifice has made His Majesty the Pope......"

"Shut up, that's enough!"

Resisting the urge to draw his sword, Saru pointed his fingers hard at the nobleman in front of him and roared

"Nalan, don't let your words disgrace your family, His Excellency Aeoris is worthy of the oath he made when he became a knight, without the sacrifice of him and the Templars, maybe we wouldn't have been able to hold out before reinforcements arrived, and at that time I am afraid you can only watch the demons burn and loot in your luxurious mansion and be powerless!"

Shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and did not continue to pretend to be respectful, Duke Nalan smiled slightly frivolously

"Well, whatever you want, but even if the saddest thing happens, I think we, as nobles, will still be treated respectfully, after all, we are nobles, aren't we? The whole continent knew that no matter what the outcome of the war, the great nobles always enjoyed the privilege of pardon, and those demons ......"

"Are you an idiot, Nalan? Or is that handsome head of yours not brains but mud? Wake up from your dreams of aristocratic supremacy and hypocrisy, and go and see the deplorable state of the Western Territory, and see the ruins of the slaughter of Fort Gale so close at hand, when will you bastards who will only add chaos to the back know that those demons bring nothing but destruction? ”

After roaring, Saru's gaze swept over the numb, ragged and silent civilians around him, swept over the scarred and tired soldiers, and suddenly approached Nalan from his horse, whispering in his ear

"And...... After this war, whether it is a human victory or a demonic victory, the empire that brought you a high status, or the child who sits on a big chair simply because he has Bernadotte blood in his veins, I am afraid that you will be disappointed, do you know why? Demons will destroy everything you have lived and enjoyed, and Leo ...... He will replace you rotten beings with a new nation! ”

After saying that, Saru nodded lightly to the soldiers around him, turned his head and spat fiercely at several luxurious noble carriages not far away, and turned around and left without looking back, leaving Duke Nalan and his companions alone in the same place

"No...... Damn, none of this is going to happen...... No!!! ”
