Chapter 31: The Castle of your
87_87410With the seventh-order warrior Emilio to deal with the orc captain, Twilight Anxin led the soldiers to kill the orcs everywhere, this battle was because of the sudden attack of Twilight and others, the orcs were not prepared at all, and some were hacked to death by swords before they even figured out the situation, and most of them were besieged to death, and the human side did not suffer much loss.
When everyone killed all the orcs, Twilight and the others stood silently in the village, only to see that the village was full of corpses, men, women and children, old and weak, women and children, it is conceivable that the orcs must have come to the village yesterday and slaughtered it, and spent the night here.
Looking at the corpses all over the village, Twilight's heart twitched slightly, and Emilio and the others were even more angry, but to Twilight's surprise, when Twilight saw the corpses of her parents and sister, although she cried sadly, after burying her relatives, Selia quickly adjusted her feelings.
However, Twilight sees that Selia is always alone for the whole day, and her face shows a hint of loneliness from time to time, and Twilight understands that this is a kind of sadness that comes from losing the most important thing in her heart, and this sadness is very thick, as if it will never be dissolved.
Sitting with Selia, Twilight wants to comfort her, but she doesn't know how to comfort her, to be honest, Twilight doesn't comfort people very well, maybe a woman like Emilio or Rena Ice Spear is more suitable, but now they are not around when they are used, they really can't find anyone when something happens, and they are around when they are fine.
Looking at the now quiet Seria, Twilight remembers that Seria is a sunny, kind, and righteous woman, a friend with whom Twilight can drink and chat loudly, and he doesn't want Seria to keep her grief in her heart.
But how can he speak? Twilight hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak, when Thelia spoke first.
"Twilight, I don't have any boys in my family, and my mom has two girls, which disappoints my father because he wants a son who can be a good warrior like him. In order not to disappoint my father, I came to the city of Soth on my own, where I became a paladin and eventually joined the First Legion, where I was their pride and my father's pride. ”
Speaking of this, Selia couldn't help but hold back her tears, and she choked up and continued: "I remember the day I became a paladin I swore to defend my family and country, but now I can't even protect my own family."
"It's not your fault, Selia, it's this era, the war ruined too many things we once had, that's why we have to change it." Twilight whispered, and the laughter and laughter of the past still seemed to surround her ears, but Twilight knew that she would never go back.
"Do you know what it means to be a companion? No matter how far you go, you will always have someone to walk with you, and you will never be alone" Seeing that Thelia was silent, Twilight continued to whisper.
Selia was stunned when he heard this, and his former vows, as well as his like-minded friends around him, came to mind, and of course, his father's ardent hopes.
Halfway through, a smile appeared at the corner of Selia's mouth: "Thank you, boy!"
Listening to Selia's tone, Twilight knows that the kind and righteous Seria has returned.
After comforting Theria, Twilight returns to Theria's house with her, and soon Emilio, Reyna Icespear, and Oddoson find Twilight!
"What are you going to do with these villagers?" Seeing Twilight, Emilio asks.
"Why don't you put all the villagers in the village, the orcs have just come, so there shouldn't be any danger!" Twilight says a little unscrupulously.
"It's useless to say that it's useless, you also saw the boiling appearance of the villagers after seeing us before, how to throw them down." Selia said angrily.
"So what do you say?" Twilight said helplessly.
"Nonsense, you need to ask you, you are the supreme commander here, Lord Adjutant General." Emilio gives Twilight a blank look.
"Why don't we just take it with us!" O'Dowson was a little naïve.
"The goal is too big." Twilight shook her head, his goal was to collect the scattered soldiers, if he took these old and weak women and children, not to mention the speed, once he was targeted by the orcs, it would be over, and now Twilight lacked time the most, the longer the time, the more soldiers who died at the hands of the orcs.
"Even if you want to settle the villagers, you can't be here." Emilio said it was too unsafe to be here.
Looking at the silent trio, Twilight recalls the map of the Red Heights, and a flash of inspiration flashes in his mind, and the ruins of a castle on a cliff in the Red Heights appear in his mind.
The 'Ruins of your', still known as the castle of your, was built between two cliffs with only a long stone bridge to pass, and was eventually destroyed when the undead came to strike.
"I think I know there's a place where it's absolutely safe, but the lords there don't know if we're welcome or not." Twilight speaks slowly, and now that he has made up his mind, he will go to your castle.
"Where?" The four of Emilio asked in unison.
"Fort your, I think this place Seliya should know." Twilight said.
As a native of the Red Clay Highlands, of course Selia had heard of the Fort of your, but she hesitated a little and said, "The Fort of your, it is indeed a good place, but I heard that Viscount Dumen there does not welcome outsiders."
Hearing Selia's words, Emilio and Rena Ice Spear frowned, according to the laws of the kingdom, if outsiders are not welcome in the private territory of nobles, outsiders have no right to enter, and if they force their way in, they will be punished by the law.
Looking at the expressions of the three of them, Twilight clapped her hands: "That's it, it's very good in extraordinary times, no matter what viscount he is, if he doesn't welcome us, I will naturally let him welcome it."
The aristocracy is indeed superior in this world, but not to mention that Darius's current situation is so chaotic, Twilight still knows the direction of the human kingdom in the future, not to mention a small viscount, even the duke dares to pull him off the horse when he is in a hurry.
At Twilight's decision, the other three can only follow the unreliable Twilight to your castle, who makes Twilight the supreme commander here.
Since the decision was made, Selia and Emilio and the others did not delay, and went out to gather the soldiers and villagers, and it didn't take long for more than 200 soldiers and more than 500 villagers to be gathered.
After a few words of encouragement, the procession of more than 700 people marched out of the village and marched in the direction of the Fort of your.
(The first more is sent, rolling in the middle of the night to ask for recommendations, ask for collections!) )。
