XVII. Embers of War!

Five days later.

A huge team of about 16,700 people appeared on the edge of a city, led by an old man who was a little emaciated, his clothes were stained with dried blood, and he looked extremely embarrassed, but his expression was extremely cold, holding a knight's spear obliquely in his right hand, and the team behind him was silent, just silently following him, moving forward, even if he had seen the edge of the city, there was no noisy sound, and the silence of the whole team was depressing.

Stomp, stomp!

The sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded, a large group of brightly armored cavalry galloped from the direction of the city, led by an officer who pulled the reins of the horse, neighed the war horse under his crotch, and paused in place, the officer who was about thirty years old swept his eyes from the body of this group of refugees, suddenly raised his horsewhip, and sneered at the cavalry who came behind him: "Look, these should be the refugees of our Figin City!" ”

"It's still a little capable, and I walked here on two legs, it's good, hahaha, it's good! All are good deserter seeds! ”

"Of course, as knights of the kingdom, we will still have great mercy to take you in, but we must check first to see if there are any calamities from the Holy See."

The mocking words were deliberately wrapped in vindictiveness, and clearly echoed in everyone's ears, and a panicked whisper arose in the center of the group, and the look on the face of the man at the front, who was like a rock, finally moved, raised his gaze, swept over the cavalry that was gradually gathering in front of him, and said hoarsely: "If so, what are you going to do?" ”

"Hahaha, how's it going?"

The officer suddenly raised his head and laughed twice, then looked at Zack, the corners of his mouth were grinning, and his teeth were white and he smiled coldly: "Because they caused the city to be destroyed, what do you say?" Naturally, General Ben wants to kill them!! ”

"Really......"

His eyes closed slightly, and Zach muttered in a low voice, "Such a shirk...... The kingdom has been eroded to this point. ”

The officer didn't hear Zack's whisper at all, waved his hand forward, and said nonchalantly, "Come, brothers, check them out!"

As he spoke, he drove the horse forward at will, and just as the tall horse and the embarrassed Zack slowly passed by, the man who was silent as a rock turned around suddenly, and the spear in his hand tore open the air, turned into an afterimage, and smashed on the beautiful war horse, accompanied by the roar of the fighting light, this expensive war horse only came and screamed and neighed, and was smashed from the middle by the spear, and the scarlet blood gushed out wildly, staining Zack's body, made the veteran suddenly murderous.

With a movement of his palm, the knight's spear suddenly turned, turning into a roaring spear shadow and swept heavily on the general's waist, with a crisp click, the general, who looked mighty, was directly smashed out of the distance, fell heavily to the ground, and screamed loudly.

Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!

"What do you want to do? Are you still a citizen of the Kingdom?! ”

With the sound of angry shouting, a long sword came out of its sheath, and more than a hundred weapons pointed at the old Zack who was holding a spear obliquely, and this act seemed to trigger some kind of chain reaction, and in the crowd that was originally silent as if it was dead, a cold gaze suddenly lit up, and then it was thrown at the group of knights with bright armor, a sense of coldness, like a fierce beast suddenly opened its fangs, and the lone wolf roared over the ice field, and suddenly hit the hearts of this group of knights, making them shiver fiercely!

And only now, they found that these refugees were covered with traces of battle, and many of their visible bodies were covered with large and small war wounds, as if they were struggling out of death, and then, one by one, the broken weapons were pulled out and raised, even the process was equally silent, and because of this dead silence, people with scars pulled out the same broken weapons, and looked at those knights of the kingdom coldly, The tragic murderous aura was like a cold beast, rising above the bodies of this group of 'refugees', but it did not roar, but just stared coldly at the knights of the kingdom in front of them.

Five days!

From the ruined city, from the natural disaster, and then in the pursuit of dark creatures, all the way to kill, a full five days!

Every hour of every day is a journey between life and death!

They are refugees, and they used to have different professions, but this period of iron and fire has forged them into warriors, real warriors!

"You ...... Not worthy of being a knight. ”

Looking at the palm that was trembling a little while holding the weapon, Zack looked proud, but said contemptuously, "Born with glory and die with honor, you can't do it at all, and we have already seen real knights!" Holding the riding gun in one hand, Old Zack did not move towards these trembling knights, but turned around and walked in the other direction, and said slowly: "I promised him to protect them." ”

"They kept their oath, and then, it's our turn."

"Those who are willing to stay here will stay, and those who are willing to fulfill their promise to knights with me will come!"

Step, step, step~

In the footsteps, first the three former soldiers followed without hesitation, and then the remnants of the city guards, ordinary civilians, no one chose to stay, holding broken weapons, these people who struggled from life and death continued to move forward in silence - their hometown was destroyed, relatives and friends, there was not one in ten, everything familiar was burned in the raging flames of war, but the knights of the kingdom were only showing off their might in another city, and in comparison, the figures of the knights who roared forward became taller and more dazzling.

Is it humbly giving up his dignity and stealing his life, or is he following the promise with the hero and forging ahead?

There is no need to hesitate at all in such a choice.

Human life exists in the form of memory, and this memory of crying and laughing is like a rope that binds everyone to the world, and now ...... Everything in my memory is gone, in that pale blue flame burning night and that familiar city disappeared together, turned into ashes, the smile I liked when I was young, the flowers falling in front of the door when my parents told me, the fiery sunset every day, all, all gone!

Before that, there was still a way to come in life, and at this time, there was only a way back for the rest of life.

And this way back has already been soaked in hatred!

"You...... You ......"

The officer watched in amazement as the group of more than a thousand people left in silence again, like a lone wolf proudly leaving, and the man at the head raised his spear and spoke in a deep voice.

"Now that this body is no longer tolerated in the kingdom, and the troubled times have come, I will build a legion called ...... Dawn. ”

"May the Avengers, come."

In the silence, a broken blade was raised.

……………………………………………………………

And at the same time, a hidden corner of the kingdom's borders.

"Lord Lone Yong, the undead's pursuers are already approaching."

A knight raised his palm, and the light spell in his palm for warning grew brighter and brighter, signaling the approach of the dark creature.

"Is it close......"

Chu Lie exhaled lightly, and once again held the knight's spear that was resting on the side in his palm, and the knights around him who were resting with their eyes closed also opened their eyes and looked at Chu Lie in unison.

"The team of dark creatures is approaching, mount."

In the silence, the knights who had just rested for two hours stepped onto their mounts one by one - the previous twenty-seven companions, and now there are only nineteen left, and even the surviving nineteen knights are all wounded, and if the mount under the crotch is not a wildebeest containing the blood of the demonic beast, I am afraid that it has fallen on the way to break through.

Only the will burning in the heart is still burning!

"Let's go!"

The sound of the horse's hooves was not concealed at all, and the knights rushed forward with him, Chu Lie held the reins of the horse in his left hand, and held the knight's spear that accompanied him all the way out in his right hand, his expression was still calm, but his heart was inevitably a little dry, for five days, the undead behind him had been chasing behind them, but they kept a fixed distance and did not attack, as if they were driving them in a certain direction.

Finally...... What is it?

"Ahhh

At this moment, a faint roar came, making Chu Lie's eyes look terrified.

Mankind!
