"Storm Wings ...... Extended to Both Sides"

"The Legion of Archers checks your bows and arrows for the last time, spare bowstrings and wrenches, damn I don't want to see some idiots accidentally break their fingers instead of losing their numbers in battle!"

"Spearmen, the Throwing Legion fills the gap left by the champion swordsman, hurry, hurry! Aren't you full for breakfast? ”

"The Wild Force Assault Formation, no, forget it, damn it, let them prepare to accept the direct command of the Chinese army, who can make those high-spirited barbarians stop roaring for a while......"

……

……

Orders rang out methodically from Al Andergrimes' mouth, and then quickly turned into action amid the roars of hundreds of Chinese heralds

Countless flags representing various branches of the military and even various meritorious legions are waved wildly in the hands of the flag bearer with a specific rhythm, and those who are the first to fall down represent that the army behind the banner has completed its preparations, preparations for war!

Led by Finn, Keith, Anthony, Aldaryan, and Kane, who had lost an arm and was pale but still holding on, all the remaining knights of the human race were gathered together on the flanks

The number of knights who once exceeded 10,000 had fallen below 7,000 at this time, including the lightly wounded, and this was the consequence of most of the pressure on the Punishment Knights, otherwise, according to normal speaking, two thousand demon knights alone would be enough to completely defeat the indigenous knights of this continent......

More striking is the cold-faced Knights of the Dawn of the Noldor led by Ardarian, unlike in the past, the Knights of the Dawn, whose number has dropped to more than a hundred, this time except for the bows and arrows that do not leave their bodies, everyone is like their lord with two narrow and thin elven blades on their backs

Perhaps they were telling all the enemies in a way that in addition to their superb archery skills, the Noldor Elves were also good at hand-to-hand combat

In the middle of the camp, surrounded by heavy guards, Leo stared blankly ahead, but no one could see that his hands clutching the reins of his horse under the armor had already turned pale and bruised

No one knows the meaning of this war better, and perhaps for the humans of this world, defeat is acceptable to some extent, after all, no matter how murderous the demons are, they can't completely slaughter all the humans

Whether controlled as a puppet or used as a slave labor supply, humans are naturally capable of adapting and enduring more than any race

For the first time, Leo himself was not a matter of wealth and power, but of simple survival and destruction, and no matter how much he expressed his dissatisfaction and disdain for the existence of the superior, it could not change the horror of the gap between the two

Victory has the possibility of proposing conditions and making changes, and defeat ...... Hehe, do you really think that obliteration is just a boring joke?

"I don't want to die!"

Clenching his fists so hard that his neatly trimmed nails were even stabbing blood in the palms of his hands, Leo's expression was a little hideous and distorted, and he would not allow all his efforts to be wasted from the beginning of the crossing until the moment when he was about to take in the supreme power

No one knows how frightened Leo was in the empty castle bedroom every dark night in the beginning, and how many times he woke up from a nightmare and couldn't sleep at night

In addition to seeing the glamour on the surface, there are a few people who know how desperate he is for his better survival

And now, it's really time for a complete showdown......

The noise gradually stopped as the whole team ended, and the slaughter and gloom gradually spread until the entire army was drowned, and the army that was almost invisible stood quietly outside facing the ancient walls of the imperial capital, occasionally a breeze blew, rolling up the grass clippings with the fragrance of the earth and gently caressing the cheeks of the soldiers in the front row, warm, damp, and nostalgic......

Turning his head a little stiffly, Leo looked around at the army around him, and the corners of his tense mouth finally showed a trace of curvature, relieved or proud? Or both? This army, which he once could only fantasize, but now actually appeared in front of him, was all he worked towards

Lined up in a phalanx of champion swordsmen as calm as a mountain, the snow-bright steel shield reflected a brilliant and dazzling light in the nascent morning sun

The clasp of the crossbow in the hands of the Storm Wings stretched in a line, and the bolts of the crossbow were firmly tugging at the surprisingly elastic crossbow strings, and the crossbow arrows made of pure steel, an industrial product of the earth, were impatiently flashing with a hideous man

Let the human [Meteorite] Tyre Oleo lead the long-standing archer legion, as if influenced by their leader, become a little uninhibited and informal, the neat queue and the dense feathers stuck in the dirt in front of them do not seem to make these warriors have any fear, and everyone seems to have some disapproving mockery on their faces......

Xueliang's spear stretched several meters long from the gap in the crowd, and the cone-shaped tail of the spear was firmly nailed to the earth, and the spear corps, which had once concentrated more than eighty percent of the recruits, also showed strong discipline and high fighting spirit at this moment after experiencing rigorous training and baptism of war

Chain mail, short swords, light shields, and of course, the bulging spears behind them, the expressions on the faces of the soldiers who seized the last time to wipe the short spears in their hands to entrust themselves and their comrades in their lives were extremely solemn, as if the spear tips were one-third long, and the weapons full of blood grooves were their relatives and spiritual sustenance......

There was only one place in the dreary, and occasionally there was the sound of roaring and thrashing, and after yesterday's battle, the army of barbarian power, which had lost tens of thousands of people, stood a little crookedly behind Edward and Tedamire, and the gloom of the archers of the Misty Mountains, the solemnity and composure of the highland swordsmen, and the wildness and fearlessness of the barbarians together formed a picture of pumping but strange harmony

Eyes swept deep to the flanks, and the unicorns and war horses, who had been trained to communicate with their masters, seemed to have felt the atmosphere before the start of the war, anxious and a little excited, but under the comfort of their masters, they desperately held back their neighing, and their tall bodies trembled slightly, waiting for orders

Rulin's spear pointed straight at the sky, and the knights' unique training allowed them to adjust the rhythm of their breathing into a whole in the shortest possible time, and they became inseparable from each other with the flow of breath, as if they were truly independent wholes

On the back of the white unicorn, the tall Finn's golden armor seemed to bring a slight halo in the sunlight, and the whole person reflected was like a proud god who had entered the house from the supreme kingdom of God in mythology

Leo and Finn's gazes finally collided in midair, and the Grand Master of the Punishment Knight nodded slightly to his lord, needless to say that the two of them could understand each other's meaning after years of intersection

At this moment, the Knights of Punishment under the leadership of Fein and others were already determined to die......

Retracting his gaze, Leo turned his head to look behind him at a man behind him who was obscured by his visor and hesitated for a moment before speaking softly

"Dear Leicester, my Marquis, my best friend...... I...... I can understand your sorrow, and I ask you to believe that His Excellency Andrew is also a good friend of mine, and I cannot put into words how I feel and my pain about his misfortune, and I ask you to mourn, and I will not wish you to become decadent and restless under the gaze of his soul......"

Nodding imperceptibly, the Marquis of Lester Crest, Leo's first native noble friend, once exchanged brothers who shared blood and death, and was praised by everyone in the Duchy as a benevolent and just lord

He slowly raised his head, some of the oversized armor made his movements not too smooth, and lifted the face armor of the swan knight's helmet, perhaps hearing the name of his familiar friend again, tears rolled down the marquis's red and swollen eyes

It took him a moment to calm down, and he bit his lip and Lester spoke softly

"Thank you for comforting Your Highness, you know, Andrew is not only my subordinate, friend...... He is also a brother who grew up with me, if it weren't for his protection, maybe I would have been unfortunate before I met you, and the Crest family was able to hold on to it until the end, Andrew's hard work and efforts in it are simply indescribable and immeasurable."

Gently stroking the swan knight's armor on his body, Lester moved gently as if it were the most precious treasure in the world

"He was upright, courageous, unyielding, never complained or blamed others for no reason, and he is still in front of my eyes today...... Those hearty smiles and criticism of my mistakes...... Your Highness...... Andrew, he's a real knight! ”

……

"Damn, my lord, you should tidy up your appearance now, even if a nobleman falls to your level, he should not lose his manners and demeanor in front of outsiders......"

"I swear that it must be a marquis or duke who rescues us, oh my God, look at those knights, you are really miserable!"

"Lord Leo, if you can help our lord restore the glory of the Swan family, I swear that I will work hard for your ideals, even if I lose my life in the end......"

"Little one, go, go and tell your father our Lord Baron, I can't teach you more now, except for the strength of your sword skills are about to surpass me, maybe that guy named Finn in Stormwind City can teach you more, but no matter what height you reach in the future, you must remember that the strength of a true knight is not in the sword he holds, but in the ...... here"

……

Holding back the feeling of colic, Leo gently placed the palm of his right hand on his heart, and when he raised his head, he seemed to dimly see a phantom in front of him smiling and making the same action

"Yes, my friend, Lord Andrew is a true knight, he is our role model and pride, and in the future, I promise you that after the war is over, a magnificent statue will be erected on both sides of the street at the gates of Stormwind, and his deeds will be celebrated for a hundred years!"

In the face of Leo's promise, Lester bent over his chest deeply

"In the name of Andrew Del, I make a request to the ruler of your principality, the benevolent and wise Grand Duke of the Storm, Leo, that I be allowed to join the ranks of the knights and wash away the shame of the Swan family with the blood of the enemy, and I will live up to this armor from His Excellency Andrew Knight and his honor!"

Closing his eyes and nodding slightly, Leo drew his saber and handed it to the other party

"Your request has been granted, Your Excellency Marquis Lester Crest, you have been conferred the title of Honorary Knight by me, take my weapon, take my place, and exchange the death of your enemy for the eternal peace of our friend in the kingdom of heaven! At last...... Come back alive! ”

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

"Intellectually, my lord, I don't think it's a good idea to agree to let the Marquis join the Knights, and I'm sure you've seen it, and the Marquis's whole body exudes a disregard for life, and I'm afraid I'm ......"

El, who had watched the whole process quietly, couldn't help but say in Leo's ear after Lester left

"Yes, but do you think dissuasion is still useful to His Excellency the Marquis? Al, outside of the war I think you should focus on some other things, such as ...... Human nature, sometimes there are many more ...... represented under the cold data of the battlefield"

……

Ignoring the marshal who was lost in thought, Leo looked at the demon army on the opposite side, which was also ready to move, and the corner of his mouth hooked a hideous right arm and raised his fist high

"This time I will not run away, come on, bastards, let us also be guests in this land that does not belong to us, to fight a war of regular standards!"

The arm fell heavily, with the sound of the howling wind, and with Leo's indomitable determination

"Order, champion swordsman forward!"
