"Save ~ Help...... I, I don't want to die...... Save~"

At the edge of the fire, an Imperial soldier was struggling with mud and mud, and his lower body exuded a disgusting and burnt smell, he rubbed forward with one arm on the ground, his young face struggling with severe pain and longing for survival, and occasionally a few wisps of fire could be seen flickering from his thighs that were not completely burned......

Unfortunately, none of the soldiers who passed by him looked at him more, most of them covered their mouths and noses and hurriedly bypassed his location, and even more, they didn't know whether they were trying to save time for fleeing or if they didn't pay attention at all in panic, and ran directly by stepping on the body of the young soldier lying on the ground

In the chaos of the noise, the soldiers' cries for help grew lower and lower until they disappeared completely, and when the group of soldiers finally passed by, only a corpse like a rag doll was left underground, a corpse that had been burned to the brink of bones by the lower half of its body......

Images like this are happening all the time in the Grey Castle, where the natural fear of fire makes these soldiers panic everywhere in the sudden disaster, and the unorganized army constantly pushes and fights in the crowd, which once makes the number of soldiers who die in the chaos exceed the number that dies in the fire

The screams of the sky and the cries for help before death seemed to make the clouds in the sky feel a little frightened, and they gathered together tightly, no matter how hard the rising sun tried, they refused to let a trace of sunlight shine on the earth, and the dark and gloomy environment made the firelight extremely hideous and terrifying

Perhaps Pope Nathaniel had not fallen into a coma at this time, and he might have felt a sincere sense of relief, because all the knights and soldiers in the city were desperately shouting the name of the Most High God at the moment, and Leo's ruthless plan had inadvertently made these people now become devout to the gods from the bottom of their hearts......

"This may not be a war anymore, it seems to me that it is a naked massacre!"

The right hand pressed his chest tightly, and the rich smell of flesh wafting in the wind made Leo Hadron endure it so that he didn't vomit, his pupils were red and bright like blood in the firelight, looking at the fire that was already raging and uncontrollable and the sound of buildings collapsing, Leo barely squeezed out such a sentence from between his teeth

"Are you soft-hearted? Your Highness! ”

As if accustomed to this, Keith stepped forward without any discomfort and asked softly behind Leo

“…… No, um, I'm sorry Keith I don't know exactly what I'm thinking right now, you know my friend, when I was still living in the ordinary life of my hometown in that incomparably peaceful country, I always fantasized about the romance of war in the middle of the night when no one was around, and I always felt that it was a means of embodying male worth and charm, and then ...... And then I came here, and with you I got what I wanted, and I went through wars of all sizes......"

Licking the corners of his mouth, Leo turned his head away from the horrific scene and smiled indescribably at the listeners

"I admit that with such a powerful Knights of Punishment around me, many times the war is indeed as I imagined it to be, with an indomitable charge, handsome armor weapons and war horses, blood and poetry seem to be perfectly combined, romantic and intoxicating......"

At this point, Leo's tone suddenly deepened

"However, I don't know when I began to find that the endless wars of this era made me ...... Let me gradually from joy to numbness, and then from numbness to disgust, in a few years I seem to become more and more cold-blooded, more and more disrespectful of life, every time I look at my hands in the dark late at night, the smell of blood emitted from them makes me sick, but I can't stop, it's ironic, isn't it, friends, whether it's hypocrisy or hypocrisy, because I hate violence but have to use violence to solve problems, hehe......"

Leo's words made Fain and the others look at each other and didn't know how to persuade them, and after a while, the Marquis of Auston, who still insisted on staying, sighed and spoke

"I may understand your heart, dear Leo, my friend, I am not trying to comfort or persuade you to change, but I am here to explain to you the fact that whether you are here or not, the killing will never stop, those lives will still be worthless, and your arrival may not save the lives of all those who should have died, but it can make their deaths work, think of the people who regarded you as a god in Stormwind? For their sake, you must not be lost and decadent, as a nobleman, we must have the courage to face all thorns and difficulties, this is the responsibility entrusted to us by the times! ”

"Thank you for your persuasion, it makes me feel much better, dear Auston I understand that there are many things that I must take on my responsibilities and obligations, please rest assured, I will not be decadent or hesitant because of this, these years have taught me that the kindness of the enemy on the battlefield is the cruelty of my true friends around me"

Smiling and patting Marquis Auston's arm, the last trace of unbearability on Leo's face disappeared, and he turned to Al and asked

"Are all our soldiers ready for the second strike?"

"Yes, Your Highness, your will has been perfectly executed, Finn, Keith, and Captain Aldalyan will personally lead the Knights of Punishment and the Knights of the Dawn as the arrows of counterattack, and in addition, after the baptism of war, we have selected five thousand veterans, who are more than willing to cut off the heads of the invaders with their own sharp blades."

Marshal Al Andrégrestes' forehead did not hesitate to say that behind him, whether it was a knight in full armor or a noble private army eager to try, it seemed to carry a hideous attitude of choosing people to devour in the dim woods

"Also...... Hey? Your Excellency the Duke, are you preparing for this? ”

Hearing this, Leo, who was about to say something else, inadvertently swept over the position of the Duke of Lancaster, and he was surprised to find that the silent duke, who didn't know when, was already draped all over, and was holding the last piece of armor on his chest with the help of two family knights, and a delicate two-handed long sword with a sheath was placed across the horse's back......

Hearing Leo's question, the Duke turned his head calmly, first silently and carefully fastened the last buckle of his cloak, waved away the two family knights and straddled the long sword diagonally behind his back, and then replied with a slight forehead

"Your Highness, I will personally participate in this battle, no! You need no further persuasion, although we have to sacrifice this great city that has witnessed the rise and glory of the House of Lancaster for the sake of the final victory of the war, but, as a patriarch, as a former warrior, I have a reason to fight for it for the last time, and the stain on the golden iris coat of arms must be washed away with the blood of the enemy! ”

Facing Leo, who still wanted to say something, the duke, who was over seventy years old, had a determination on his face that could not be refused, and his eyes were mixed with pain and a hint of begging

"I have to!"

As if feeling the Duke's heart, Leo raised half of his arm and slowly lowered it weakly, and on horseback he bowed deeply to the old man opposite

"I understand your request, Your Excellency, Your Excellency...... Can't say no ......"

With a long sigh, while the Duke was not looking, Leo whispered Keith to his side and commanded in his ear

"Case, I have only one request, when the battle begins, you must firmly follow behind His Excellency the Duke, I don't want this venerable old man who has sacrificed so much to be hurt in the slightest, and I can't allow after the war is over, I have to tell Elena and the Lancaster family in person, what happened to the Duke because of my negligence! See what I mean? ”

Looking at Leo seriously, Keith, who had just heard the conversation clearly, buckled his chest heavily and spoke in a resolute tone

"You can rest assured, Your Highness, I swear by the honor of a knight that as long as I can breathe, as long as I can swing the sword in my hand, no enemy can touch the Duke's body with their evil weapons, not even if the so-called Supreme God descends!"

Patting Keith on the shoulder gratefully, Leo understood that after his captain made this oath, he could hardly take the initiative to obtain merit in battle, which was quite unacceptable for a knight who valued honor more than life, but Keith accepted this order without hesitation

After a small hiccup, Elzema came up behind Leo and spoke with suppressed excitement

"Your Highness, the time has come, we can't afford to delay it for too long, the soldiers need your orders!"

Nodding silently, Leo drew the paladin sword at his waist and pointed diagonally at the sky, and then slashed down heavily, the silver-white trajectory was like a lightning bolt in the sky, with a faint light desperately trying to tear apart this dim and oppressive world......
