However, Bas quietly approached Morey after he left, expressed his guilt, and reassured Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth, that she would definitely bless Matthew.

He is not from Gaokan, or even from the southeast, but he has lived in this city for almost ten years, and he has naturally accumulated deep feelings.

Since Philip didn't blame Morey, he wouldn't be angry with Bass, but just put his arm around Bass's shoulder and asked why he had such a strong and lasting fighting power, and he still had secrets to hide from him after knowing him for so long.

But, with a mysterious expression, Bas told him that he would know when he would become a true Templar.

The results of the priest's examination made Philip not know whether he was happy or sad, and none of the marks on the soul tablet belonged to Philip's father, Matthew, and the responsible priest personally checked it three times to make sure that it was safe.

Philip rode Arthur, unsure of how he had returned to the Lion Castle, worried about his father's safety and pondering the few words Leonardo Tobas had left him at the end.

That is, he can't help himself at this time, so that Philip can live well.

These sentences are easy to understand, but the last sentence that is secretive asks him to be a low-key person after he arrives at the Southern Theological Seminary, which makes him scratch his head.

Philip, who couldn't figure it out, didn't bother too much, let's take things one step at a time, there are still hundreds of thousands of steppe people stationed on the other side of the city, and the top priority is to consider how to deal with tonight's night attack.

Bruce has the demeanor of a master, and the princess and his party were arranged very well by him, and even those noble beast dragons were arranged by him to rest in the garden of the castle, and the treatment was super high.

He drooled and looked at the gorgeous armor of Shi'an and the others, but it was a pity that even the armor of the sacrificed people would definitely not be able to wear it with his body that was about to reach two meters and one.

Philip first went to comfort his mother and told her the news that I don't know if it was good news, then went to visit his grandmother Jane, who was bedridden, and finally had dinner with Sophia.

It's a pity that the luxurious hot spring in the castle was occupied by the women who slept along the way, and they just boiled some hot water to scrub the blood on their bodies, after all, there may be a big battle tonight that needs them.

On the contrary, Isabella may have been frightened by the events of the day, and behaved very obsessively with him, and kept curling up in his arms and crying and falling asleep before he was put into his little bed.

No wonder she can fall in love with Yun'er, a pair of little tear bubbles.

At the thought of the woman who had not been heard from at all, Philip's face sank, and he forcibly focused his energy on the arrangement of the defensive line.

"I'll come, you go and rest for a while and have some hot soup. He said to Bruce, who had been busy all night.

Bruce shook his head, and stood on the viewing platform of the castle, looking at the campfire of the Prairie camp in the distance, and the shaggy beard was still hung with crumbs of bread and the fat from the roast, which made Philip sick to his stomach.

In desperation, he changed the subject: "How is Donna's injury?"

Bruce's expression softened a little: "Afu's treatment is even more miraculous than that of a bishop-level medical priest, it's no big deal, I just ate something and fell asleep, and my mother is taking care of her." ”

Suddenly, he whispered: "Philip, Donna's father and uncle are all dead in battle, our family's Uncle Andrew, Uncle Pedi, and Aunt Rowling are all dead, half of the male and female servants in the castle are dead, and Uncle Frank of the Viscount's Mansion has not been rescued." ”

By the end, Bruce's voice had begun to tremble, and although there were no tears, it was no different from crying, just holding back.

Philip was also silent, and the people Bruce was talking about were also very familiar to him, they were all direct relatives of the Snape family, and they were also the cornerstone of the Lion family's construction of power in Gokan City.

He was very familiar with that Andrew, who had been his father Matthew's boss and liked to pierce the delicate little fat man with a full beard when he was a child.

But now, they are all dead, and they have all been killed by the steppe wolf in this damned war.

Especially the last Frank, who is the chief butler of his uncle Francis's mansion, a very kind old man who grew up watching Bruce, always smiling.

He is to Bruce what Campbell's butler in the Fallen Horse Mansion was to Grandpa Barton to Philip.

In a traditional aristocratic family, the old man's presence meant even more to Bruce than his parents, Francis and Stephanie, and was one of the closest people in the world.

But now, a piece of masonry that fell from the sky changed all that, easily depriving those happy fragments of memory.

Only at this moment did Philip suddenly realize that although the tall and sturdy cousin in front of him was born in a military family, he had long been accustomed to seeing life and death, and although he was raised by his grandfather Brad to be calm, he was still just a young man who had just turned 20 years old, a big child.

This is completely different from his 'old man', who is already over 50 years old.

He may not be so sensitive to the life and death of other people, but he has never experienced the loss of relatives, especially the loss of relatives and friends who are familiar with him in such a large number.

To be honest, if he can endure crying until now, Bruce is already strong enough.

This war taught all the young people of Gaokan City a vivid and even tragic lesson, allowing them to experience the most difficult years in the world in advance and mature rapidly.

Philip looked at the sad big boy in front of him, not knowing how to comfort him, maybe he didn't need his own comfort, he just needed to vent these negative emotions in front of someone.

He put his arm around his cousin's shoulder, patted him on it, and said in a deep voice, "But we are alive, and we will continue to live." ”

Bruce didn't know whether he heard or not, just stood on the viewing platform in a daze, letting the cold winter wind blow his unkempt hair and beard worse.

Philip, accompanied by Caritan and Chand, spent a full hour and a half walking through the entire defensive line.

After the day's battle, Calitan had completely surrendered command of the battlefield, and she herself was more suited to lead the team into battle or become a personal escort than such a large-scale group commanding battle.

Philip's two consecutive outperforms had already conquered her, as well as Shi'an and several other Red Rose team leaders, and even Sophia winked mischievously at her, teasing that her vision was not bad, only in exchange for a white eye from Caritan.

Except for the troops on the eastern wall, all the remnants of the warriors in the city were concentrated here.

As for the nobles, they were left to Sophia and Catherine to deal with.

No one wants to seize military power or pick and choose, otherwise neither Bruce nor Sophia will teach them to be human again.

The command was divided into two parts, and all the warriors of the former Gaokan City were under the command of Bruce, focusing on the defense of the Lion Castle and blocking the passage between the north and south of the city.

Civilian males laid down their arms and became logistical corps, fully assisting in the transportation of war supplies and fortifications.

And the women who are armed are responsible for maintaining law and order, and even at this time there are still bastards who take advantage of the fire to rob and derange, and they are mainly responsible for protecting the women and children.

For these bastards who have lost their conscience, they must be re-enforced in troubled times, and they don't even need to be judged.

The city of Gokan was a veritable military city, especially now that the entire row of a hundred and ten headless corpses in the square was a bloody warning.

The other part is Sophia's Red Rose Division, which is nominally commanded by Calitan, but in reality both parts are subject to Philip's unified command.

As for Sophia, it would be good to be her mascot honestly, and her most important task now is to receive the thanks and praise of the nobles of Gaokan City in the Lion Castle, or to visit the soldiers who fought for the Empire in the wounded barracks.

Even if the Gaokan people at this moment no longer have half respect for the imperial royal family, they still love this imperial princess who has traveled thousands of miles to help.

What's more, the princess's lover is the pride of their Gaokan City.

Sure enough, the steppe people, who were forced into a dilemma, launched a night attack at midnight.

To Philip's surprise, the number of steppe people in this attack was small, but they were strong, and they broke through two lines of defense in a row by night, killing and wounding hundreds of people.

It wasn't until Shi'an made up for it with a giant shield team of 1,000 people that he was able to resist this sudden force, but he also lost more than a dozen people, and even Shi'an was almost cut off an arm and temporarily lost his combat effectiveness.

This surprised Philip, and rode Arthur to meet him, only to be cut back by a sword, and if Arthur wasn't dexterous enough, he would probably have his wings cut off by the sharp sword.

Arthur flapped his wings in horror and stopped in mid-air, and Philip's hands were shaking violently, and the riding spear in his hand had been broken in two.

Through the light of the dancing fire, he could clearly see that there was a whole group of more than 30 Wardsmann soldiers in full-body armor rushing towards him, each with the strength and speed of the awakening level.

The leader is dressed in dark blue armor and holds an epic sword in his hand.

Eric Cruise, Viscount of the Empire, one of the few fourth-level awakened warriors in Gokan City, and the most elite high-end force under Marquis No.

Philip recognized it at a glance, or more precisely the armor and sword, for this one was simply famous in the city of Gokan.

It's just that I heard that in the battle last night, everyone was consumed on the city wall, and this high-ranking knight had been killed in battle, but he didn't expect to become an accomplice of the steppe people at this moment, and he appeared here and slaughtered his own people in turn.

No, Philip soon realized that something was wrong, and that both Eric and the other Ward warriors, while seemingly nimble and powerful, were a bit stiff.
