Chapter 62: Not Afraid of Challenges

Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info has to admit that Rita's curses and accusations before her death made Leo feel extremely bad, although he couldn't hate a woman who had lost her lover and had a mental breakdown, although he understood that a woman's worldview was very different from a man's, but it definitely didn't mean that he could be without guilt......

After returning to the lavish palace, Leo had all his subordinates summoned, taking advantage of this gap, his somewhat impetuous mood calmed down a little, and it didn't take long for the deliberately light footsteps to sound one after another, until El Andréstes finally stepped in, the heavy door of the palace was closed from the outside, isolating the damp and cold air, and making the room look a little dark

After rubbing his hands together to make himself feel more energetic, Leo looked around and nodded lightly as a greeting, without any greetings, he went straight to the point

"I have a general understanding of the enemy's situation after I returned, can anyone tell me what the form of the imperial capital has been so far, and whether Saru and they will be able to continue to hold on?"

They looked at each other a few times, and finally Al stepped forward and bowed slightly

"I'm afraid it's very difficult, before you come back, we have received several messages for help from the imperial capital, including carrier pigeons and messengers, if you take into account the interception ratio of the other party, the messengers actually sent by Saru should be several times that, hmm...... Since you weren't here at the time, we can't ......"

Mentally tired, he waved his hand and placed the scepter across his knees, Leo didn't want to talk about this unexpected thing anymore, he thought about it and asked

"What about the Messenger? Bring them up, I need to ask about some information personally"

"Of course, as you wish, sir"

……

In a short silence, the three knights who acted as messengers were brought into the palace, but Leo couldn't help but be a little puzzled after seeing their outfits, not to mention the shame and anger on the faces of the three people, as knights, they were now only wearing ordinary robes, and the swords on their waists were missing......

"Sorry gentlemen, I don't understand why you are like this, but you must know that armor and weapons are the root of a true knighthood, the embodiment of the divine status bestowed on you by the law, ...... Has the situation in the imperial capital deteriorated to such an extent? ”

Leo had a bad guess in an instant, and he even thought that these messengers were able to break through the siege in disguise

"Your Highness!"

Led by the leader, the three knights fell to one knee

"None of us gave up the dignity of knighthood, no! It was your men who deprived us of our armor and weapons by dishonorable means......"

He roared angrily in a voice that was almost sad and angry, and at the same time, the eyes of the three of them stared at Keith, if it weren't for the fact that they didn't have weapons in their hands and asked for help, I am afraid that they would now know that they would be invincible and would carry out a sacred challenge

Leo looked at Keith with some puzzlement following the gazes of several people, in his heart, although the leader of the Punishment Knights had a relatively detached personality, he was definitely not a reckless person

Facing Leo, Keith scratched his scalp a little abruptly, and after casting an apologetic look at the three knights, he came out and spread his hands helplessly to Leo

"I understand your doubts, my lord, but I don't want to do this either, if you are not here, the armies of Stormwind City and the Duchy will not be able to dispatch at all, but they plead and force us to send troops in various ways every day, and after no result, they will return to the imperial capital desperately, for this kind of stubborn plan to seek death, I am afraid that there will be some accidents, so I can only keep the weapons and armor for them temporarily, well, keep it for the time being!"

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, if it weren't for the fact that there were three embarrassed knights in front of him, Leo really wanted to laugh out loud because of Case's story, and after a brief combing, he understood that the other party's purpose was to consider the three knights, but why did things always make him do things differently from others......

It is conceivable that the process of collecting the knight's armor and weapons as a second life will not be as simple and casual as Keith tells us, and perhaps the captain will use some violence in the face of normal resistance

Coughing a few times, Leo adjusted his mood with the help of drinking tea, he glared at the innocent Keith, and then said softly to the three knights below

"I'm sorry and sorry for this accident, friends, I think soon you will be able to get back the property that belongs to you, of course, what I want to know more now is the situation in the imperial capital, is it really that bad?"

"Very bad Your Highness, oh, sorry for forgetting to introduce yourself, I'm Colin, Colin Pollitt, my companions and I are from the Knights of Glory, we have all had the privilege of fighting side by side with you in the previous battles, and we are very honored to have your permission to meet you!"

As he spoke, Colin and his two companions stood up and saluted Leo with the most formal chivalric salute, but the ill-fitting robes made the serious behavior of several people a little funny, thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but glared at Keith who shrank behind Finn

"About four months ago, just before we had completed all the preparations, the demon army suddenly landed again, and although the two lords, Saru and Eoris, had anticipated and prepared before, and had also deployed dozens of scouts along the western coast, they did not have a chance to send the news back to ......"

Colin's face darkened as he said this, and it was clear that the scouts might have his colleagues and friends among them

After a slight pause, Colin licked his lips and continued

"And after the western part of the empire was completely destroyed by the last invasion, the imperial capital lost the last barrier that could be warned, this time there was no message from the Gale Knights, no resistance and persistence of the nobles, and it was not until the opposing army's army crossed the ruins of Gale Tempest that we found out that everything was wrong......"

"Lord Saru made a decision at that time, and at the same time as he stabilized the city defense and closed the city gate, he immediately sent a squadron of glorious knights to break through and ask for help when the other party was not besieging the city, a full fifty powerful knights, but ......"

The three Glory Knights, including Colin, looked sad, and Colin's voice, as the one who told the story, trembled a little

"Such a configuration as a messenger for help has not appeared in any battle since the establishment of the Empire, and Lord Saru and we are very relieved that we take it for granted that no army can stop the fifty knights who are purely trying to break through and not to fight...... However, in retrospect, how ridiculous the original idea was! ”

"When the relatively slender demons in the opposing camp saw our move, they only divided twenty people to intercept them, and they lazily pulled the longbows more than a person high on the backs of the terrifying mounts, and the arrows in the sky were all over the sky, and hundreds of arrows with evil curses easily covered our companions, and then as if they did not stop, wave after wave, until the knights and their mounts were almost shot into a pile of minced flesh, the bastards stopped, and we could only be on the city walls, with fear, With grief, with irrepressible anger look like a coward......"

Colin slammed his fist into the gold-encrusted pillar beside him, letting the blood slowly flow from the back of his hand as if he didn't feel pain

Motioning for the butler behind him, Old Garin, to bring some tea to the three knights who were a little out of control, Leo took advantage of the gap to turn his searching eyes on Aldaryan

Licking the corners of his mouth with a sinister smile, Lord Noldor gently bowed his forehead

"It's them, the smallest of the bunch of demon archers with incredible bloodthirsty lethality, leave them to me and the Knights of the Dawn, and the Noldor Elves will show the filthy beasts who the best archers are......"

As Ardalian spoke, the bow at his waist suddenly glowed emerald green, and the bowstring hummed like a challenge under the frequency vibrations that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye!
