The father was defeated, impossible.

When Cynroth bluntly said that the main Norman force was rushing towards Rennes, Louie's first reaction was not to believe it.

Everyone knew that the Boneless Man was fighting his father in Scotland at this time. It's only been a few days, and with the number of troops on both sides, how can it be possible to decide the winner so quickly.

After all, the big army is no better than the small army, and Ivar deceived Eren once, but he definitely can't fool the second time. And if it is said that under such conditions, unless the boneless person is crazy, he will leave Allen's army behind and go directly to gnaw hard bones like Wren. Otherwise there is only one possibility - he has already defeated the army of Governor Allen.

Lu Yiming knew that Xinlos would not lie to him, but he was never emotionally acceptable.

"What my father brought this time is the elite of Britannia, and the combat power is strong, how can it be...... Even if it is tens of thousands of pigs, standing there and letting the Normans catch them, they can't catch them all in three days and three nights! ”

When Louie said this, a terrible conjecture suddenly rose in his mind. Who would have thought that when the Lord of the Sea led the five fleets to attack the Normans with a crushing force......

"Is it the Queen's fleet again?!"

In fact, the five fleets did not lose unjustly. In the face of an attack by a superfleet like the Queen's Fleet, no commander in the world, no fleet dared to admit that it could win head-on, even if it was a partial victory. However, the status of the queen's fleet is too special, as the signature fleet of the tyrant Arcadia, it is absolutely impossible for the imperial royal family to admit that its trump card has fallen into the hands of a mortal enemy.

The water lord spared no effort to walk around the barracks with various rumors, coupled with various explosive news such as the appearance of the dragon, and finally reluctantly suppressed the "rumors" that the queen's fleet appeared again. But the impact of this matter was too great, and the high-ranking members of the empire who knew the truth were secretive and refused to mention it easily.

Louie now said the Queen's fleet at once, which showed the horror in his heart.

Even if Governor Allen is really defeated, what about the news of the defeat? And what about the beacons along the coast? What about the rout?

Why is there no news!

"It's a bit complicated, and I don't have time to explain it to you right now." Xinluo jumped from the roof of the carriage to the driver's seat, and he said a few words to the wife and children in the carriage, and then held the reins: "If you believe me, then quickly organize people to retreat." ”

As a major reserved item of the Autumn Harvest Festival, the Knight Tournament is visited by more than 10,000 people at this moment. Civilians are different from the military, and they can be organized in a moment. What's more, there are not many army soldiers present to maintain it now, and it is okay to maintain discipline in the venue, but they should organize the retreat of civilians......

Louie's face instantly became extremely ugly. However, compared to Louyi, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, William's mood seemed to be good, and his bright eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light.

"So, how many of them came?"

“…… A lot. ”

……

With Zeit's help, Ellie managed to knock out her opponent. The husky pounced and bit and licked, and the knight-uncle, who looked so powerful, fainted at the foaming mouth. But before the little girl could be happy, a deafening trumpet sounded in her ears. Hearing the familiar and unfamiliar sound of the horn, the crowd immediately exploded.

The civilians who were eager to squeeze to the front, so that they could see the heroic posture of the knights clearly, began to retreat one after another, and when they retreated, it was inevitable that there would be pushing, and the originally festive event scene instantly became a mess, crying, wailing one after another, and chaos was about to erupt.

Fortunately, the soldiers who maintained order finally arrived in time, and under the spur of whips and spears, the crowd finally regained some order and began to retreat quickly under the guidance of the soldiers.

In such a situation, it is obvious that the knight competition cannot be carried out. And the stars who originally attracted the attention of 10,000 people instantly became unpopular.

"What's going on, what's going on, Lloyd?"

The stupid husky staggered through the crowd, and in a few clicks it scurried to the girl who was going against the flow of people and trying to squeeze into the venue. Lloyd was immediately relieved to see Ellie come out of the venue unharmed. She grabbed Ellie's outstretched little hand and sat down on Zeit's back.

"Ellie, there's no time to explain, let's go back to the headmaster!"

"Hey...... Good. ”

Ellie agreed, and then tugged on Zeit's ear hard. The poor primate killer was in pain, and immediately spread his four legs and ran forward with his life. Zeite is not an ordinary husky after all, he is already strong and strong, even if he carries two girls on his back and is in the chaotic crowd, he can still walk like a fly.

The husky stuck out his tongue and chased the breath of Sinloth, smashing his way through the chaotic crowd to the carriage decorated with eagles, dragons and snakes. It's just that to Aili's surprise, hundreds of people have gathered at this time, with the carriage as the core. Some of them were Ellie acquaintances, and they were none other than her father's friends. And more of them were new faces, and Ellie tried to think about it, vaguely remembering that it seemed to be a player who also participated in the knight competition.

It's just that everyone is nervous now, they are constantly checking their equipment, and no one pays attention to the arrival of the girl.

Even if you haven't experienced it yourself, the war has never stopped over the years. Ellie vaguely understood something, and she immediately jumped up from Zeit's back and came to her father's side on her short legs.

"Dad, I just heard ......"

"Hmm."

Sinloth touched his daughter's head, he had already seen his daughter's whereabouts with path prediction, and with the protection of Lloyd and Zeit, he was not very worried about his daughter's safety. And compared to his daughter, there are more important things worth his attention at the moment. The Count picked up his daughter and, ignoring her doubts, stuffed her straight into the carriage.

"Hey, Daddy?"

"Now that something is going on at the venue, your Uncle William and I are going to solve it, you are obediently with your mother, and I will be back soon." Ellie was about to speak, but Sinloth had kissed her gently on the forehead. Then the Count flicked his cloak and left without looking back, joining the knights.

"Daddy......"

A terrible premonition suddenly rose in Ellie's heart, and the joy of victory had long since disappeared. The girl's heart was beating fast as if it were out of control. She had a hunch that this time might ...... Just as the girl was about to rush out of the carriage, she was pulled by a slender and powerful arm.

Mariana took her struggling daughter into her arms, she stroked Ellie's soft blonde hair, and said softly, "Ellie, no. ”

"But ......"

"This is your father's choice, as women, we just need to support his choice at this time."

Mariana looked at her husband's resolute figure, and her purple pupils flickered. How she wanted to join the ranks of the knights and fight alongside him, but her current physical condition was a bit terrible. Rushing into battle is purely adding to the chaos, in this case, it is better to wait for him to come back safely like an ordinary noblewoman: "Your father will not do things that are uncertain, we have to believe him." ”

"Hmm......"

Ellie whimpered and didn't continue to speak. Mariana patted her daughter on the back lovingly, and then said to Randy, who was standing outside the car, "Randy, let's leave quickly, don't let Cynlos be distracted." ”

"Yes, ma'am."

Randy glanced at the array of knights, where his sister was eager to make her final preparations. Although he often quarrels on weekdays, seeing that his sister is a woman and still has to fight on the front line, Randy always has some ...... in his heart But he agreed, and jumped into the driver's position.

The boy no longer looked in the direction of his sister, but flicked the reins and steered his horse into the retreating crowd.

"O all-powerful god, please protect my husband......" The carriage started slowly, and Mariana, who held the Shadowless Sword in her hand, prayed for her husband in her heart and looked into the carriage. In any case, the people in this carriage are the people that Sinloth values the most, don't ......

"Wait, Nanoka, where did Assasin go!"

……

"There were about three thousand in number, and there were no cavalry except for a few chieftains. The protection is extremely poor, basically leather armor, and only a small number of elites are equipped with chain mail. However, because they are all pirates for many years, their combat effectiveness is not weak. Fortunately, it's all flat here, and most of the knights participating in the competition are not weak, but they can also fight...... But it's strange, how the hell did they bypass the beacon tower on the coast? ”

Even if it was Sinlos, it was impossible to open the path all day long. No matter how small the consumption of this thing is, it is impossible for Sinlos to turn on 24 hours a day. And last night, they were all pressed on the bed by the four ship girls to squeeze the juice, and during the day, it was so muddy that they didn't even notice that the Normans had hit the hinterland of Rennes.

Sinloth felt incredulous, but also a little remorseful.

"I don't blame you for this, I think I know how they did it." With the help of his entourage, Louie also put on light armor. Whatever the reason, it is now a fact that the Norman main force is besieging Rennes.

Although with the city defense of Rennes, he was not afraid that the Normans would rush into the city in one go. But if nothing is done, most of these civilians who have left the city will probably not be able to return to the city, "What we have to do now is to stop them." ”

"Exactly."

Sinloth looked up at the distant horizon. In the keen eyes of the young man, there were already countless black dots that were rapidly approaching here. And in the golden vision, more black dots are coming down from the warship, constantly gathering.

How the hell did they get here...... I really care about it, but now is not the time to think about it.

Sinlos, who was already much better than before, also put on a light armor and jumped on his warhorse. When he looked back, the well-trained knights had spontaneously lined up in array, silently waiting for the arrival of the enemy army.

This battle is no longer the same as before, they don't want to directly divide the victory or defeat with their opponents, as long as they hold back the opponent's vanguard - Sinlos no longer expects the chaotic civilians to retreat to the city, and now they can save one by one.

"What are you looking at, Sinloth?"

William rode to the Count's side, his face not the slightest concern, but all anticipation of the coming war...... Sinloth was a little envious of William.

He didn't care how many civilians died, he didn't care how many Normans died, he didn't even care how many of his own men died. All he cares about is how much honor he can get, so that he can vent the anger in his heart.

[Your friend has lost the last shackles called love, and the beast with only the flame of vengeance in his heart has become very dangerous and terrifying. 】

"You're right."

Sinloth rarely agreed with the Light Sphere's assessment, but he wasn't prepared to say it to William. William was originally an extreme and lonely person, and coupled with the stimulation of Matilda's death, good words and persuasion did not have much effect. He had to wait for the bastard to sore before he knew to repent—other times, no amount of talk was useless. As a friend, the real time to do is to pull him before he falls into the abyss.

In any case, you can't stop a person who is bent on death.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking, I didn't expect us to be together again so soon. Originally, I thought that I would have to wait for Ning Hai and Pinghai to come back from Desmond at the latest. ”

“…… Ning Hai and Ping Hai, speaking of which, where did you get the two of them? I haven't seen them fight, and I don't know where to place them. ”

"You'll see soon."

The two chatted a little, diluting some of the pre-war irritability. However, no matter what William asked, Sinloth still refused to say where he had transferred the two powerful deep seas. William despised Sinloth's deliberate betrayal of the guanzi, and then asked no more.

The two young men glared at each other a few times before returning to their array. As soon as Sinloth rode his horse to the center of the group, he felt a warm current of air envelop him.

"Hey, this is ......"

Sinloth looked up at the front of the line and found Roland on one knee, his hands on the hilt of his sword.

He prayed in a low voice like the most devout believer. And with his muffled murmur, bits of golden light continued to fly up from him, submerging into the bodies of all the knights present.

The knights did not resist the golden light, but obediently unleashed their anger. Between the various colors of anger, there should have been a cloud of colors that were eye-catching, but under the influence of some strange power, they completely merged together, turning into an extremely faint gold.

Of course, this can't be a makeshift knight brigade that has become a sunset knight...... Rather, joint rage!

"Golden? Roland has made the sun...... Impossible. ”

The knights looked at Roland with some awe, and they tried to let Roland into the center of the procession with a little restraint, but he shook his head and just continued his prayers. Cinloth knew that Roland never believed in God, he only believed in the battle axe in his hand, the brother beside him, and the liquor in the cup.

So, to whom is he praying...... Moreover, when did this guy change his sex to use a long sword?

Sinloth narrowed his eyes, and it took a long time for him to realize Roland's qualities.

[Swear to the sky to make my will clear; Do not bully the weak, but spend time modestly; In the battles experienced, do not fear strong enemies; Whatever is wrong, I will cut it down; Women and children are long, and they are done by war; Seek each other in prison and help them; A woman is delicate, and she will never sin; Colleagues work together and do their best to work together; Treat friends with sincerity and think of them as gentlemen; My love, my loyalty! 】

[This body is ...... Paladin! 】

"Roland, this guy ......"

Sinloth looked at Roland and was speechless for a long time. And just as Sinlos was born, a petite body in a white robe came out of nowhere and went directly into the Earl's arms.

Sinlos looked down and saw a little girl looking at him with widening eyes and a wistful expression.

"Daddy, let's go to war together!"

“…… Well, go back and play with the hairball. ”

……

1440 in the imperial calendar, September 3rd. After Ivar the Boneless defeated the coalition forces of Governor Allen, he led the victorious army and pointed his troops straight at Wren.

However, given the dense flames near Rennes, the cunning Norman commander did not attack directly. He first changed his flag and chose all kinds of captured ships instead of the usual dragon-headed warships. Then let the elite troops lie in ambush in the cabin. The boatmen who rocked and sailed on the deck wore ordinary clothes without armor and dressed themselves up as merchants.

It was the Autumn Harvest Festival, and the Britannian soldiers were lax, relying on this method, the Boneless seized all the patrols they encountered along the way, and no one found out.

It wasn't until the army began to land in Brittany that it was detected by the whims of Sinroth.

The Boneless One acted decisively, and since the sneak attack failed, it was changed to a strong attack. On the afternoon of September 3, more than 3,000 Norman pioneers fought with more than 400 men led by the Duke of Normandy on the outskirts of Rennes.

Although the Duke of Normandy, Allen's son Louie, and the Count of Van Zo were small in number, most of the members under their command were temporarily reorganized. But this battle is about the life and death of tens of thousands of people behind them, and the knights are fighting with extra strength, each like a divine help.

Most of the Norman vanguard were infantry, and their equipment was very poor, and under the hard impact of the knights, they could not resist and retreated.

Just as the Norman leader was about to gather the remnants of the army and withdraw from the battlefield to join the main force, he was beheaded by a white-clad assassin who suddenly appeared. Since then, the Norman vanguard has been disheartened, and has been chased and killed by the coalition forces, with countless casualties.

After the arrival of the main Norman force, William did not dare to fight, so he had to give up his opponent and slowly retreat.

The two sides began at noon and were entangled all the way to dusk. The Norman vanguard completely collapsed, with nearly two thousand dead and wounded. The coalition army is not having a good time, what should have been a place to compete knightly skills has become a slaughterhouse of flesh and blood, and a total of more than a hundred excellent knights have fallen on the battlefield forever.

If there is any good news, it is that thanks to the efforts of a few people, most of the people have managed to escape back to Rennes...... For the rest, Xinluo is really powerless.

"Funny ......"

The middle-aged man wearing a horned helmet held a magic sword in his hand, and he played with the head of the man who had died tragically in his hand, and sneered towards the fortified city in the distance.
