Chapter 105: The Great Retreat

There were about 4,000 soldiers who followed King Liam from the royal courtyard area, as well as tens of thousands of refugees. When he returned to the ranks with Lord Goldfrey, his mother, Queen Mia Greymane, asked with concern, "Are you alright, Liam?" ”

"I'm fine." Liam replied.

His sister, Princess Tess Greymane, saw that he was riding another horse, and was about to ask about "White", but she stopped talking. Otherwise, it would have made her brother sad - his eyes were red, and he looked like he had cried.

As the team crossed the King's Gate, Liam paused and said to Godfrey, "Lord Godfrey, we can't just retreat like this. The army of the Scourge is clutching our tail, and someone must stay behind to break the rear. The King's Gate is a place to defend with mountains that are difficult to climb on the left and right. I'll stay here to build fortifications and build a defensive line, and I'll ask you to escort my mother and sister to Greymane's Manor, and arrange for the refugees to go to Twilight Bay. ”

Sent Goldfrey frowned and said, "I'll take someone to stay, and you can escort the queen and princess!" Liam, you are now our only hope for Gilneth. King Jean has entrusted you to me, and I can't let you take any chances! ”

Liam thought of his father, who was still fighting fiercely in the city of Gilneis, and immediately retorted excitedly: "I am past the age when I need someone to protect me!" Now is the time for me to fulfill my duties as King Gilneis. Do as I say, Lord GoldFrey. That's an order! ”

When Queen Mia heard the content of their dispute, and saw that her son was going to stay, she hurriedly said, "Liam, Lord Godfrey is right. You are now Gilneth's only hope, don't let down your father's hard work! ”

"Mother," Liam looked at the queen firmly, "I will protect myself, but I can't live in order to survive!" It's the most dangerous time for us in Gilnehs, and as a 'Greymane', I have to lead by example! If I also back down, who will guard the people of Gilneis? ”

Queen Mia was not a strong mother, she was just a noble woman, and she knew that Liam had made up her mind and could not persuade her. She looked at her daughter, hoping that Tess would persuade him.

"Brother!" Princess Tess's eyes were misty with tears, she knew her brother's character better, and knew that it was useless to persuade her, "You...... Take care! Greymane can't lose you, and Gilneth can't live without you! ”

"Don't worry, I won't die!" He opened his arms and hugged his mother and sister with the gentlest smile, "Trust me! Mother, Tess, go to the manor, only when you are safe, I can fight in peace! ”

Mother and daughter returned to the carriage and said goodbye to Liam. It wasn't until he could no longer be seen that the two of them hugged and cried in the carriage.

"Lord Godfrey, you should go too! Hurry up and bring someone from Twilight Bay to support us! Liam instructed Sente.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Lord Goldfrey agreed in a deep voice. He took off his top hat and bowed deeply to the king. At this moment, Liam's actions deeply impressed him.

This is the courage and responsibility that a Greymane should have!

When the refugees, who had been terrified by the natural disaster, passed through the King's Gate, they saw His Royal Highness, who was organizing soldiers to build a line of defense to protect them, and everyone saluted him. Even the commoners felt the fortitude and bravery of His Royal Highness.

At this moment, he was loved and respected by everyone.

"For Greymane!" He raised his sword and shouted, and there were countless answers.

……

"For Greymane!" This slogan is also ringing in the city of Gilneis. Jean and a group of soldiers hold on to the only bridge leading from the Royal Courtyard to the Military District. Scourge troops poured in from the other side of the bridge. The cannons erected on the bridgehead ran out of shells in one day. On the other side of the bridge, there were mountains of corpses, but the Plague's army was still charging in such a dense manner, and the number did not decrease in the slightest.

At the moment when the cannonfire stopped, the bridgehead suddenly turned into a hell on earth. Jean stood at the front with his sword and shield in hand, fighting side by side with the soldiers, fighting frantically against the Scourge soldiers. Behind him, the musketeers and mages provided fire suppression. But natural disasters seem to be impossible to kill, and the corpses that fall into the inland river are almost blocking the waterway, but the natural disasters still have no end in sight.

It's a sight of utter despair. Jean shouted loudly, raising his shield to block the ghoul's attack, and slashed off the head of a skeleton soldier with a backhand. He couldn't remember how many disasters he had killed that day, but he felt that his hands were about to be lifted. If it weren't for the desperate protection of the royal guards beside him, he might have died several times.

At that moment, an abomination strode from the Scourge pile. Its massive body squeezed some of the hapless Scourge soldiers into the river. The musketeers fired wildly, projectiles hitting Abomination's body, bringing up large swaths of rotten flesh and rotten intestines, but nothing could stop Abomination from continuing to rush forward. It burst in front of Jean, slashing the guard next to him with an axe, then swinging the hook of its first hand to knock Gene's shield away, and finally throwing the chain from its right hand and entangled King Jean in one fell swoop. As soon as it pulls hard, the king will be dragged in front of it. What awaits him must be the end of being dismembered by the Scourge soldiers!

Just as Abomination grinned and was about to pull back the chains, a figure swooped in and raised his sword to cut off Abomination's right arm at the nick of time.

Enraged by Hatred, the first hand reached out and hooked the human soldier who had destroyed his body by the belt, lifted him up, and slashed him with a great axe.

"Lieutenant Worden!" Jean watched sadly, and the man who saved him was none other than the loyal Lieutenant Worden. To his infuriation, the Hate threw away Woden's headless corpse, but hooked his head to his mouth, and opened his mouth to chew hard, the fresh flesh was in the mouth, and the wounds on the body of the Hate were healing rapidly from the sword and projectiles - it was devouring the corpses of the living to heal its own wounds!

More abomination appeared on the other side of the bridge, and the Gilneth army, lacking heavy firepower, was simply powerless to stop these disgusting monsters. One of the guards shouted, "Your Majesty, you must retreat!" ”

"No, no!" Jean was carried out of battle by several royal guards. The remaining sergeants hurriedly retreated. These natural disasters are truly terrifying! No one wants to continue fighting this monster.

After Jean was dragged behind by the soldiers, he gradually calmed down. He motioned for the soldiers to let him go, and then ordered: "Now we only have the military zone left, the terrain here is complicated, and we have to delay as much time as possible." What is the situation of the refugees evacuating? ”

"Most of them have been evacuated!" The soldier replied.

At this time, the defenders of the northern bridge also received news that they were about to lose after running out of shells.

King Jean waved his hand in some pain and ordered: "Organize the rest of the men and the army to retreat from the city gates!" ”

"Where to go?"

"The gate of the military zone can only lead to the Storm Sea Cliff, where the terrain is dangerous, we can continue to arm!"

King Jean was very tired, and he mounted his horse and watched as the crowd gathered towards the exit of the city gate. Everyone looked panicked. He, like the people here, doesn't know where Gilneth is from.

Liam led the men in the other direction. Let's hope he can leave the sea and keep Gilneth alive!

Jean prayed inwardly.

He saw a woman organizing a group of civilians to carry supplies, because the incident happened so suddenly, many refugees brought almost nothing. He was also only concerned with commanding the battle, and he didn't expect to rescue supplies. Unexpectedly, this lady thought about it very carefully.

Jean rode over, and when the lady saw the king coming, she immediately saluted with some restraint: "Your Majesty! ”

"You've done a good job," Jean nodded, acknowledging her merits, and then asked, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Gwen Amster, and I used to run a tailor shop in the business district!" Gwen replied. She was beautiful and well-dressed, with a little top hat on her head, which looked fashionable and matched her outfit.

Jean noticed that she still had a rapier hanging from her waist, and seemed to be preparing to fight the Scourge Legion.

Gwen saw the target of the king's gaze, and she replied a little shyly, "This is my grandfather's saber, and I hope it will protect me." ”

"You're doing well, Miss Gwen." Jean smiled, "The refugees are in dire need of these supplies. Your actions can save the lives of many people. You are a very attentive person, thank you for your dedication to Gilneth. After a pause, he added: "Now that the number of survivors is very chaotic, are you willing to manage the logistics?" ”

"I, can I?" Gwen didn't expect the king to trust her so much, she had never managed anyone before!

"I'm sure you can!"

Jean cast an encouraging look at Gwen, which gave Gwen more confidence: "I'll do my best!" For Greymane! ”

――

"My lord, the humans are retreating outside the city!" In the Royal Courtyard area, the Dreadlord Varimathas reports the current situation to his leader, Tikdios.

Tikdios said: "Go according to the plan and let them go!" ”

"Okay, I'll give the order!" Varimatas smirked.

After Tikdios played this man, he strolled through the palace of the royal family of Greymane. The war broke out too suddenly, and the palace was in disarray. It walked up to an oil painting by Jean Greyman, and a large number of the conceited men with eagle eyes whispered contemptuously: "The poor king. You don't know what fate you're going to face, do you? ”

Now Tikdios is the commander-in-chief of the Scourge Legion, and every Qiē is running according to its will. Soon after, it will welcome the true Master. When the time comes, the world will burn!

And it, the Dreadlord Tikdios, will be the master's greatest hero!
