【Three Queens】

The afterglow of the setting sun streamed down the top of the guild tower to the ground, and the silver light emitted from the armor of the knights was particularly dazzling. More than 6,000 elite knights stood side by side at the gates of the Knights' Guild, as if they had built a wall on this street that was suddenly covered with dead silence.

Then, accompanied by dozens of royal knights, the old knight rode his young steed to the front of the knights.

"Gentlemen, do you long for peace?"

No one answered, but there were noticeable a few people in the group who nodded slightly.

"Like you, I yearn for peace. Unfortunately, it has been around for a long time. ”

Captain Mikhail looked sideways at the shield badge hanging on the guild gate, his cloudy eyes flashing with the slightest hint of his fortitude.

"Yes, peace is dead...... From tonight onwards, Nagseus will face the greatest threat since the founding of the city, our enemy, the wolf faction that hovers the north, Snowway. ”

"They are demons, yes, demons that have been crushing us and mutilating our lives for centuries. What did we, the southern Licos, have back then? Life? Freely? Dignity? No, it's all only in our dreams, in those illusory fantasies, and if Snowway can't get real sanctions, we'll be imprisoned forever in the cage of the beast"

The commander raised his hand and pointed to the statue erected at the top of the tower, it was a woman, a female knight, holding the flag of the hound's totem in her left hand, looking to the north, staring at the true peace that had not come for a long time.

"And after the death of our goddess of victory, Alexandia, Nagseus truly became the land of legend, the great 'Cross City'. But are we too cowardly? We huddled like lost dogs in the pure land of our eyes, looking at the unattainable peace of Nagseus. Can I only pray for the prophesied Messiah to come and drive away the enemies who are at hand? ”

“……”

"Nope."

"Not so."

"Absolutely impossible ......"

The silence was fleeting, and there were voices in the team that expressed their denial.

"That's right! It's absolutely impossible. But it is undeniable that Nagseus needs a savior, a group of warriors with a heart of blood and the courage to crush the enemy to ashes! And he, they...... They have come, and they live in our time! Clenching the blade and wearing armor, stand on this Moyar plateau! ”

The regimental commander shouted, drew his saber, and tapped the armor on his left shoulder with the hilt. He lifted the pure white cloak behind him, held the blade of his sword aloft and pointed high into the air along with the banner in the statue's hand.

"And they're us! We are the knights of Nagseus, the guardians of the land! Together, we will fight to defend the glory of Nagseus even if every last drop of blood is shed! Nagseus! Win! ”

"Nagseus will win! Shouldering the glory of Nagasius!!! ”

In less than a minute, the hesitant muttering had completely disappeared, replaced by high, hysterical shouts.

Hundreds of knights tapped their armor, and a thunderous sound echoed in front of the guild gates, stretching infinitely along both ends of the path until it woke up the sleeping Cross City once and for all.

……

At the same time, the Tello district, the border between the town and the suburbs.

Draenor sat in the tent in the barracks, the others had been gone for fifteen minutes, leaving him and Captain Dino to sit on the makeshift benches.

He stuffed the matching cartridges into the slots one by one, pulling the bolt to push one of them into the barrel so that he could have an extra round of ammunition on hand.

Dino stood motionless outside the tent, his figure imprinted on the white canvas by the lights outside, and he held a cigar in his mouth and looked up at something.

"You have something to say to me." Draenor struck at the figure.

"Well, I'm very excited, I really didn't misunderstand you, you are still a knight of Kerton, a good brother in my impression."

"Huh...... It turns out that you will also have these awkward words. ”

"Maybe, some words must be said in time, this is still a military camp now, but maybe it will become a battlefield in a while." Dino tossed the cigar aside and crushed it with his foot, as if venting his nervousness, "I was indeed a little surprised, haven't you considered leaving?" What made you decide to stay? ”

Leave...... Of course I thought about it, but at least not now.

"It's easy," Draenor flicked the gun upward, the slot and barrel closing again, and he was caught behind him. "The city of Kerton is like a huge boiler, and I've been standing on it. And now that someone is going to set it on fire, there's no way I'm going to stand still. ”

"Hehehe...... You really have a sense of humor at all times. Dino suddenly laughed.

"No, it's not funny at all, but at least it relieves my nerves." Draenor looked up at the figure printed on the canvas, "Aren't you nervous?" ”

"Of course, I'm scared to death than nervous." The captain smiled wryly, raised his stiff arm and wiped it on his forehead, "I've always liked to be alone, so most of the time I can only get into a heads-up fight. But now it's different, the Snowymen aren't here to fight, they really want to destroy Nagseus...... But what's the use of worrying? I can only make sure that I am in the best shape for now, and for the rest I can only choose to believe in the strength of Nagerseus. ”

Outside the tent came the sound of the footsteps of the Tartar, and Draenor lifted the curtain of the door, and when he saw Mikhail's tall figure, he knew that the Royal Knights had arrived to help.

Then a knight who followed the regimental commander came on horseback, holding a document in his hand, and shouted to the two:

"The Knight King of Corvinus personally ordered all the second-order knights to be divided into two teams, the first team will rush to the perimeter of the city wall to meet them, and the second team will be responsible for garrisoning the city wall. The Knight King has already led men to garrison the last line of defense in the capital. ”

Then, the knight flipped through the pages of the document and continued: "According to the instructions of the head of Mikhail, the former member of the first echelon of the investigation team, Dino. Tetsuji, Chadwick. Draenor and Jeter. Lei Lilin will join the second team to garrison the city walls. The first line of defense must be held - the Tello Zone! ”

The knight tugged at the reins and rode towards the other tents.

The task had been given, and Draenor stood up, but suddenly felt a little confused.

"The city walls? Where did the walls of Kerton come from? He asked, stepping out of the tent and looking out at the snow-covered forest, where there were no cherry blossoms

"It's always been there, it's Nagseus's weapon of decisive battle, but because it's very old, no one can guarantee that it won't collapse due to too strong an impact, so it's impossible for the Order to activate it until the critical moment." Dino replied, taking a deep breath and taking a few steps back, "Stand firm, although this thing has been around for some years, according to its horror, I don't understand the ...... of the year"

"The artillery is in place!" The knights pushed dozens of cannons to the side of the street and fastened them to the surface of the rain with steel nails the thickness of human legs.

I saw the regimental commander lead the people to the other side of the town street, draw his sword from its sheath, and shout to the knights behind him:

"Raise the walls!"

Immediately afterward, the knights, who remained at the tent, pushed a metal device that resembled a sail rudder.

With the sound of the gears grinding, the ground suddenly began to tremble, and the lane, which was less than five meters away from Draenor, suddenly bulged, pushing away the snow and dirt covering the ground, and standing on the ground like an awakened beast.

Dozens of walls stood side by side in front of Draenor, a cannon at the junction of each of the two walls, and countless rows of bows and crossbows.

"This is Nagasus' weapon of decisive battle...... "Draenor looked up, unable to believe that this was happening right in front of his eyes.

"Draenor."

He felt someone pat him on the back, and turned his head to see Jett already wearing the crimson armor and pulling a trailer full of pitch-black cannonballs.

"The enemy will attack soon, you can help me get this thing over the wall first."

With the help of the knights, the three Night's Watch tied the trailer to the rails left behind by the wall, and then followed the captain up the side stairs to the wall.

The walls left plenty of room for the knights to move, and in addition to the road under their feet that was large enough for six people to cross side by side, there was a low wall with several rows of rectangular windows.

Inside the walls, the knights were ready to unload the steady stream of cannonballs and explosives under the walls.

On the other side, the Moyar Plateau was completely shrouded in darkness, and in the distance there flickered enough to form a galactic fire, as if the sky had fallen on the rain.

Draenor held on to the cold barrel beside him, and everything in front of him felt so familiar to him that he couldn't stop shivering......

He had seen the same scene three o'clock before the Eichenryde faced the Yaridan Empire. But this time, he believes the outcome will be different.
