"Haven't the orcs moved yet?" King Solas remained on the city walls, but after all, he was too old to last long, and the palace guards had brought him chairs; In order to protect himself from the possibility of being swept away by the bow and arrows, King Solas sat on the inner side of the wall, and Robin was not far in front of him, wilting around the bluestone city, babbling and praying to the Light for protection—for Tess's family.

De Jong stood nervously by the wall, watching the orcs outside the wall; Hearing King Soras's question, he hurriedly replied: "No, Your Majesty, those orcs have stopped not far outside the city, and seem to be preparing to set up camp, and...... There were no out-of-town residents who were caught by them. ”

"Camp? Don't they take the city? King Solas stood up at once, surrounded by several court guards, and went to the city wall, and watched the orcs outside the city move unabashedly in the light of the moon and torches, and King Solas had a foreboding feeling in his heart - this is still Anduin? Are the savage orcs that Lothar calls for killing each other on the battlefield? When they saw that the human city was not screaming and rushing up, they were camping outside the city?

Just when King Solas was puzzled, the sharp-eyed De Jong suddenly exclaimed: "Your Majesty, that group of orcs has moved, there is a team of ...... Team 1...... Damn, Holy Light is above, are these trolls? And also...... And those ......."

De Jong couldn't speak, his voice had a hint of trepidation, and his frightened eyes glanced at Robin not far away. King Solas had no scruples, and said resentfully, "Yes. It's the trolls, damn it, these guys are actually colluding with the orcs. It's just that my ancestors didn't eradicate them in the first place! It's a good thing, Thorbain's last name hasn't declined, and even today, a thousand years later, I'll end the lives of these trolls...... But what are they going to do with these captured inhabitants? ”

Captured residents? Robin's pupils, which had been somewhat dilated, suddenly reappeared, and he dragged a lame leg to the edge of the city wall with difficulty, and looked intently out of the city wall—blessed by the Holy Light. Let's hope those orcs don't catch Tess!

In Robin's vision, it wasn't the orcs he had never seen before, but a horde of trolls - in the Arathi Heights. This evil creature is often featured in operas and novels that celebrate the heroic exploits of the ancestors of the House of Tolbaine, so that every resident of the kingdom of Stormgard can easily recognize this never-before-seen foe, who is wantonly driving a troop of human captives in the direction of Riptide Castle.

Among that group of human beings, there were men and women, old and young. Their hands were bound with ropes. Together, stumbling forward, behind them, the trolls with spears and axes, screaming and intimidating the captives, occasionally kicking one of the captives with a flying kick, and then forcing the poor captives to their feet in terror with their sharp blades. Keep going with the hard work.

"These brutes!" Robin's two rows of steel teeth were bitten by himself, at the same time. His gaze raced over the group of human captives, looking for the face he wanted to see—oh no, the face he didn't want to see—Tess, you must not be in the midst of the captives!

"Your Majesty, this group of orcs...... This group of trolls should be ...... Execute the captives......" De Jong whispered with remorse and sadness - if he had been a little more vigilant and sent the scouts farther out of the city, he might have bought more time, perhaps...... Maybe these residents can move to the city; These trolls, the old enemies of the human beings who appeared in the orc camp at an unknown time, drove these captives to the castle, and they definitely didn't want to release them back!

One, it's not; Two, no; three, thanks to the Light; Nor is it ...... Robin's mind counted silently, carefully looking at the faces of each captive one by one—a little cruel, but thanks to the Light, none of them were Tess.

The long line of captives had already been inspected, and the idea of luck in Robin's mind was growing stronger and stronger - Tess had indeed been lucky enough to have escaped again...... Suddenly, Robin's slowly turning head froze, his pupils dilated, and his hands clenched into fists; He was so hard that sharp nails pierced his palms in that instant, and red blood dripped down the bricks, and he looked out of the city so intently that he didn't notice it; As Robin slammed his fist into the hard bluestone bricks, the pain and despair caused the iron-boned man from the military to let out a woman-like scream: "No, Tess, no! ”

Hearing Robin's shout, De Jong couldn't help but feel shocked, and subconsciously reached out to grab it, and sure enough, he stopped Robin, who was not far from him—this guy was going crazy and was about to jump off the city wall; De Jong grabbed Robin to stop him, then quickly pressed his shoulders with both hands, and squeezed Robin against the city wall with his whole body, while looking at the captives outside the city - has the Holy Light really abandoned the humans? I don't know when it started, the prayers to the light were useless, and Robin's previous prayers were not answered, did the most terrible thing happen......

Following Robin's gaze, De Jong saw a peasant woman moving forward with difficulty under the tuft of the crowd near the end of the captive procession; After a long time, coupled with the lack of memory, De Jong could not recognize Tess's appearance, but he knew that Robin would not be mistaken-Tess, the end was still in the hands of the orcs, and he was about to be ...... under the city

"Let go of me, De Jong, damn it......" Robin was completely no match for De Jong because he was missing a leg and had difficulty moving, coupled with his neglect of the military after becoming a gardener, and the brute strength he had generated because of his attachment to Tess was also exhausted against the group of palace guards.

Crushed by De Jong by the wall, Robin could only watch through the gap in the battlements as his beloved Tess was helplessly abused by the trolls; Sad, angry and anxious, he struggled wildly, and even bit De Jong's hand with his mouth. De Jong dodged and whispered in Robin's ear, "You mad dog, are you going to jump down and find death now?" Can you deal with that group of trolls alone? ”

Despite his neglect over the years, Robin was the first comrade-in-arms De Jong met after entering the army, and the love of robes accumulated over the years made it impossible for him to watch Robin die in front of him; Of course, De Jong did not want the captives to be executed by the enemy - they were just civilians, and the consequences of the war should not be borne by them, and if possible, De Jong would rather be the captives of the orcs in place of the inhabitants outside the city. (To be continued......)
