**********************

In the early morning, after the last soldiers of the duchy had carefully withdrawn from the Grey Castle, before the first rays of sunlight pierced the morning light, the magnificent and somewhat dilapidated city stood silently there, like a weathered but timeless sculpture in the darkness

"Alright, let the planned knights and soldiers stay, the champion swordsman is in charge of protecting the nobles to evacuate first, tell the soldiers to make some noise, it's time to inform our old friends Rolf and the Pope that it's time to get up"

A few words of light command to Al, Leo, who couldn't see his face clearly in the dark, turned his head, looked at the silent duke next to him with some worry, hesitated for a long time but couldn't say anything, and finally all his emotions turned into a sigh, and he refocused on the most important thing at present

The intermittent wind throughout the night made Rolf hardly really asleep, and no matter how heavy and sturdy the tent was, he could not really replace the luxurious palace, and just struggled to close his eyes and was confused for a few minutes, Rolf was awakened by the sound of the outside wind rolling up the rubble on the skin of the tent, and sat up on the bed in a daze, his physical and mental fatigue and sensitive nerves made him can't help but grab the wine jug next to him and slam it on the luxurious woolen blanket, roaring hoarsely

"Someone! Prepare me something to eat, and then have Saru come to me...... I couldn't stand the terrible weather for a day! ”

didn't let him wait long, just when Rolf himself was staring at the godless eyes in a daze, soon, the heavy door curtain was lifted from the outside, and the influx of a large amount of fresh air made his spirit somewhat better, and he looked at Saru who was in full armor and holding his sword in confusion

"Praise you my friend, did you feel my repression and anger, so you prepared for battle early in the morning, dear Saru, you really touched me very much...... Maybe today we can take this damn city? ”

Yawning heavily, Rolf didn't notice the ecstatic look on Saru's face

"Your Majesty! Your wish will come true in no time, and I think it won't be long before you can enjoy a wonderful breakfast in the Grey Castle, in the city that has held us back for half the year, and never have to sleep in a tent at night to endure the bad weather! ”

“？？？？？”

Rolf scratched his scalp unsightly, looked at each other suspiciously, and his poorly rested brain did not react for a while, until Saru repeated it again, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be struck by lightning and was stunned for a few seconds, and then jumped out of bed with bare feet and reached out to pull Saru's collar, and the sound even became extremely sharp

"What the hell did you say? If I'm not mistaken, you took the city while I slept? But I don't remember that I ever gave the order for a night attack, and told me the whole truth! ”

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Saru spoke slowly after Rolf had calmed down a little as he gasped

"You really don't have any orders, and no one has disobeyed your will without permission, Your Majesty! To be honest, now I am also confused about this matter, in the early hours of this morning, the soldiers on the shift heard a very noisy sound from the direction of the Gray Fort, in order to prevent accidents, an officer led the soldiers to venture closer to check, the result was ...... Hehe, they were horrified to find that there was not a single soldier on the city wall, and even the city gate that had been sealed before was useless, and the whole city was deserted like a ghost town."

"Oh?"

Bending down to pick up the flask from the carpet, after shaking it, Rolf didn't care and took a few sips directly into the thin spout, reached out and wiped the red wine from the corner of his mouth, and finally the shrewd and cruel gaze in his eyes finally appeared again

"I'm afraid it's a trap my friend, although I still think that victory will be ours in the end, but, more than half a year of fighting must make us raise all our vigilance, even if we don't want to admit it, but this hillbilly and his men are indeed opponents we need to take seriously!"

Hearing this, Saru nodded approvingly, "What you said is very right, so as soon as I got the report, I personally led the Knights of Glory to check, and even sent people to venture into the city, although I can't believe it, but Your Majesty, the fact is that Leo did give up the Grey Castle, and everyone evacuated at night......"

After pouring in a few more sips of cold wine, Rolf said fiercely

"Go and inform Nathaniel of the news, huh! He must be more anxious than we are to spread the majesty of the so-called Supreme God, and let the soldiers of the Church and the Knights Templar probe the situation first, and then we will follow."

The gloomy weather was a good way to hide the trap in the early morning, and don't expect how serious these rigid soldiers of the Middle Ages could be, and when the soldiers came to report that there was indeed no enemy in the city, Nathaniel had already changed into the gorgeous crown dress that he could only wear for grand celebrations, and the round head of the pure gold scepter in his hand was polished with light, and he rode on a gentle white horse accompanied by the deputy head of the Knights Templar, and the Pope bowed gently to Rolf beside him

"Your Majesty, perhaps the honor of being the first to enter the city should be yours, after all, you are the supreme ruler of the empire and the presiding officer of this just war......"

Glancing at the Pope, who was trying to suppress his desires, Rolf covered his mouth and coughed a few times, smiled and waved his hand

"I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy the process, I'm not feeling well these days, I'll have to wait for the lowly and lazy servants to bring my carriage, please take your own crown, I trust that the light of the Most High God will give the city a new lease of life when you enter!"

After a few more excuses, Nathaniel finally hypocritically agreed, and under the neat guard of honor of a large group of soldiers and knights, he took the lead in stepping into the city that had blocked them for half a year

Behind him, Rolf looked at Saru, who was also smiling falsely, and shook his head

"If Nathaniel's intelligence in political intrigue had been a little bit divided into the war, he might not have been so impatient, knowing that the original owners of the city had plenty of time to make some arrangements before retreating, and although I don't know what it was, I always had a bad feeling, and even the open gates made me uneasy."

"It's a pity, Aeoris's serious injury has made His Majesty the Pope only have a fool like Ilya who relies on his whiskers to take the throne, but even if the other party has some arrangements, there may not be any danger with the protection of so many knights and soldiers, maybe he will become more cautious and more respectful to you after he suffers a little, Your Majesty!"

Saru shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and although he maintained basic respect, he was also cautiously optimistic that Nathaniel would be able to endure some hardships, thinking that the Pope's disrespectful behavior towards his own emperor had made the Grand Master of the Knights of Glory a little disgusted

Flicking his whip, Rolf led his horse in the direction of the camp, and the sound reached Saru's ears

"Come back with me, Saru, and then let your lieutenant lead some of the knights and our soldiers into the city, and let them control the center of the city, the ducal palace, and the noble districts, which must be firmly in our hands, and I will be more than happy to enjoy my breakfast in the ducal palace after some setbacks to Nathaniel, the god, and perhaps this will make my mood better......"

"As you wish, my majesty!" Saru smiled and bowed lightly on horseback

**********************

In the mountains behind the north gate of the Grey Castle, waiting made everyone feel that the time had become long, and the anxiety seemed to be contagious, making the atmosphere a little solemn, and the knight sitting on the knight hidden in the woods behind Leo seemed to be unable to bear it, and sometimes he snorted heavily and shook the wet dirt under his feet with his hooves......

After a long time, with a few unfamiliar birdsong sounds, Aldalian, who had been highly concentrated, listened attentively for a while, with a relieved expression on his face, and rode his horse closer and whispered in Leo's ear

"Your Highness, news has come from my people that the enemy has entered the city!"

"Whew~"

All the tension disappeared with these words, and wiping the sweat dripping from his forehead due to nervousness, Leo let out a long breath as if he had collapsed, but soon, an irrepressible sense of excitement quickly filled his heart, which meant that his somewhat crude plan had worked

Grinning and slamming his fist at the same smiling crowd, Leo narrowed his eyes and commanded Lord Noldor beside him

"Go, my friend, I hope your archery skills are still worthy of my trust!"

Closing his eyes slightly and then opening suddenly, the radiant Aldarion's eyes were full of pride, and the dazzling fingers flicked and the bow was already in the palm of his hand, and he pulled out a special rocket from the quiver on his waist, and looked at the somewhat depressed Tyr defiantly, and Lord Noldor gracefully saluted Leo

"This is an indisputable fact, Your Highness!"

After that, with a slight grip on the horse's belly with both feet, the elven war horse, which had long been unable to hold back, neighed with excitement, and its four hooves flew like a white lightning bolt quickly rushed towards the direction of the city, and the short distance was fleeting, and at this time, the sharp-eyed Leo could already see that the elven arrow wound in Aldalian's hand had burned dazzling fire

"Burn, let everything be reduced to ashes with the flames, our enemies and our cities......"
