The walls of Aitburg were already crowded with people.

At this moment, regardless of dignity and inferiority, everyone crowded on the tip, silently watching the noble young master who had come to Nausicaa from the city, perhaps just for hunting and playing, leading fifty guard knights in shining full-body armor to form an attack formation, and on the opposite side of them was a seemingly endless herd of beasts, including hideous-looking wolves, fierce cheetahs, sharp teeth and claws, and huge brown bears......

And on the other side of the herd, on the two towers of arrows, there were husbands of several of them, fathers of a group of children, friends and benefactors of the people of the town.

They're stuck there.

Burton, who was waiting quietly outside the open gate of the castle, looked at the young man who had made his choice from afar with some excitement, thinking of the noble ancestors who always charged ahead in order for the commoners to live a better life at the beginning of the empire, the great heroes who always died in front of the civilians on the battlefield, and the strong men who always gave the people boundless confidence with their firm backs.

Those nobles who have been praised by all commoners for countless years.

Those nobles who are praised by all their people.

A real aristocracy.

The aristocracy that the empire has forgotten.

He thought a little too much.

Behind him, in the shadows of the city walls, Lilith's petite figure loomed.

――――――――――――――――――――

"Charge. Eller whispered.

"Charge!" Lin Ke, who was in the center of the line, suddenly roared!

"Charge!" all the knights shouted in unison, morale high and fearless!

A smile melted into Eller's indifferent face, not everyone has that kind of natural leadership temperament, but he who rushed to the position of the team's arrow hid this smile very well, and was not noticed by anyone.

Fifty escort cavalry fronts!

The sound of horses' hooves "booming" came like a flood, gradually drowning out the intermittent roar of the herd!

A mere team of fifty knights gathered around the young man in that core position into a torrent of steel.

The overwhelming herd is no longer terrifying.

The world became silent, and everything was gone, leaving only his comrades and spears and swords in his hands, as well as enemies hidden in the darkness.

Suddenly, the night erupted in a sparkling light!

The pale blue meteor was as before it sent out from behind Lin Ke, far into the herd, splashing a little "splash"!

Then, it didn't take long for a dark cyan sword qi to rise into the sky, compared to Brooke's flame-like giant sword, this dark cyan sword qi that revealed spirituality everywhere formed a solid energy giant sword that was more than ten meters long!

I don't know when a simple gray unsheathed long sword has appeared in Eller's hand, which is much worse than any fine iron sword in the blacksmith shop on Fang Street, with the light wave of Eller's right hand holding the sword, the giant sword of the behemoth was easily free from the shackles of the long sword, turned into a clear blade and swept out, and in the blink of an eye, it came to the fierce beast that hit the head dozens of meters away.

Sweep away!

Lin Ke shuddered at that moment, he thought of the sickle for harvesting wheat, and cut off an ear of wheat with a knife, and then thought of the iron blade that cut the tofu, and slashed without hindrance!

And those fierce-looking beasts seemed to have turned into mud and paper paste in an instant, and they were vulnerable!

"Fighting spirit...... "Brooke muttered in a low voice, his eyes full of amazing color!

Lin Ke slowly calmed down, looking at the sturdy back of the beast herd that had swept away a large white ground almost single-handedly before he came into contact with the herd, and his heart was full of strange complicated emotions.

He silently condensed a wave of magical energy, he needed to do what he had to do.

Cavalry and beasts suddenly meet!

On the contrary, the speed of the cavalry regiment barely paused, and it rushed all the way to the edge of the arrow tower, except for a few knights who had not been on the battlefield who were cut a little skin through the edge of the armor by the fierce beasts that broke through the obstacles, and once again completed a seemingly impossible feat with zero damage.

Eller didn't stop but rushed to the edge of the stone bridge with his sword alone, and the giant sword flew over, making it impossible for the follow-up team of the dense beast herd on the other side of the river to survive for a while!

"Neil goes to save people, and the others form a circle formation, turn!" Lin Ke spoke out for the first time, and the elite escort knights who had been trained for a long time did not show their timidity at the moment of crisis, and skillfully changed the formation to form a constantly rotating circle formation to create a relatively safe environment for the rescuers.

Neil and Lin Ke have a heart and mind, and they have already flown away from the mount at the moment when Lin Ke spoke, and a few quick ups and downs have already come to the edge of the arrow tower, and they don't need too much assistance, and the fiery red light of the whole body flashed and the figure instantly rose five or six meters and swept into the upper floor of the arrow tower!

In a moment, Neil's fighting spirit burned like fire, and he jumped out of the arrow tower with a man in his arms on one side, put the two on the ground after landing, and reflexively swept a cheetah through the defensive line, a fatal blow without mercy.

After rescuing the two people on the other arrow tower in the same way, the entire circle array has been squeezed less and less by the pressure caused by more and more beasts, Lin Ke roared and forcibly released the wind blade Changhe to fight for a gap in the formation for the team, but he couldn't help but shake his face a few times and almost fell off the horse, but fortunately, several guards around him who were protecting him quickly helped him.

Eller has taken advantage of this kung fu to retreat from the direction of the stone bridge, the giant sword is waving to clear a larger space for the team that has changed from a circle formation to a sharp arrow formation, this time he did not act as an arrow, but guarded the rear of the team alone, from Brooke, who has not said a word since the beginning of the charge, to the front of the team, Lin Ke and Xue'er, who are already a little overdrawn, are still forcibly protected in the center of the team, the team quickly attacked, Brooke kept swinging his sword like crazy, creating space for the team's acceleration at the cost of hanging colors all over his body, regardless of damage!

And the cavalry team that has completed the acceleration, where can a group of beasts that have lost their fighting spirit be able to stop it?!

Everyone hangs the lottery, but no one is lost.

The castle was already a sea of cheers, and people hugged each other and shouted praise, and couldn't help but wave their hands for joy.

For them, it was a win.

They flocked to the city gates, where they would greet the warriors in the little square, with their most sincere feelings.

Lin Ke's face was a little pale.

The moment the cavalry galloped into the city, he nodded as he had come out to Burton, who had been waiting alone outside the gates, watching him.

Burton returned the salute respectfully, and when the last knight had entered the castle, he slowly straightened his clothes, and glanced at a corner as if unintentionally, until a black shadow disappeared there, and then he returned to the castle, and the heavy stone door behind him slowly closed, isolating the jubilant atmosphere in the castle.

The returning team was greeted like never before, and although the civilians who had fled into the city did not have time to prepare flowers, their warm praise and respectful eyes still made each of the returning knights straighten their chests.

When Linko smiled and signaled to the civilians, he found that Eller had disappeared on horseback at some point, while Brooke quietly moved the guards in front and behind him away from a distance, so that the civilians could better see Linko, Cher and Neil in the middle of the team, and he himself slowly followed the back of the team with a smile on his face.

And the petite figure that flashed in the corner behind the crowd.

――――――――――――――――――――

The crisis has certainly not been resolved.

"Have all the civilians entered the castle?" said Linko, who made his way to the walls despite everyone's dissuasion, and had the civilians driven away from the walls and replaced with fully equipped guards.

"Yes, young master, all the civilians of Nausicaa are already in the city," Burton said respectfully, as always.

"Give them a place to shelter from the night wind as much as possible, give them my room, and we're going to spend the night on the walls," Linko said, still staring at the herd of beasts that were gathering in the distance.

Burton hesitated for a while before slowly nodding yes, and then seemed to think of something, "This beast tide is very strange, this situation will never occur in this season in previous years, this is also the reason why everyone is a little in a hurry, and the number of beast tides and their behavior are also a little weird, even if there is a beast tide in Nausicaa in previous years, it will never have such a huge number as this time, and the monsters will also appear early, let alone spread out the beast herd like now, but will directly attack Fort Ait." ”

"They seem to be looking for something," Neil suddenly said, who had been following Rinko all along.

Although Burton didn't know Neil's specific identity, he didn't criticize him for being rude when he saw that he had always protected him and had an extraordinary strength foundation behind Linko.

"Looking for what?" Linko pondered, his eyes fixed on the herd of beasts scattered everywhere but not attacking the castle, even if Cher shot a few beasts close to the city walls, the herd only silently retreated and did not stop for much.

"There!" Cher exclaimed suddenly, "the herd is starting to gather there!"

Lin Ke quickly looked in the direction pointed out by Xue'er, but only dimly saw the shadow of a stone house, "Let's talk about the specific location!"

"There are a few stone houses on the outermost part of the south side of the main road, and one of them has a windmill on the roof, and one of the fan blades is missing!" said Cher quickly.

Everyone looked at this beautiful girl in amazement, and they could hardly see anything in such a distance in such a night.

"Uncle Burton, help us find the owners of those houses, maybe they can give us answers," Lin Ke frowned slightly.

"Yes, Master Cohen," Burton bowed back and whispered a few words to a few of his subordinates, and a few of his servants turned to leave.

"The Demonic Beast is approaching!" Xue'er exclaimed, "Three-headed high-level Zerg Demonic Beast, huge carapace, small but many eyes, oh my God, it is full of great power at a glance!"

Lin Ke and the others rushed to the edge of the city wall, but they still couldn't see it really.

"Where did they go?" said Linko.

"It's the stone house where the beasts gathered just now, and the three demonic beasts broke through the wall," Xue'er couldn't see what was happening in the courtyard, and after a while she said, "It's coming out again! But it's not coming close to the city wall!"

Lin Ke was silent.

It didn't take long for three men in their thirties and forties to be brought before Lin Ke.

The three of them had never been in such close contact with a nobleman, even if they felt that Lin Ke was different from other nobles, they were very nervous for a while, standing in place at a loss and cautiously looking east and west.

"Don't worry, I'm just here to ask you some questions," Lin Ke smiled gently at the three of them, then turned around and continued to stare at the figure of the beast that was faintly visible in the darkness not far away, "Has anything special happened in the last few days?"

The three of you, look at me, I look at you, they don't know what to say, maybe they are worried about the impatience of the noble lord and others, and one of the older ones is the first to speak, "Back to the master, our ancestors have lived in this valley for generations, except for the benevolent Lord Mutes who built a stone house for us, nothing else has happened." ”

Lin Ke frowned unconsciously but didn't look back, "Is there anything wrong with the things hunted out of the mountains, such as picking up the eggs of a certain demonic beast?"

The three of them were suddenly shocked, and it was the older man who spoke, "Noble lord, we really haven't had the idea of fighting Warcraft, you know that those Warcrafts are extremely powerful, how dare we ordinary people provoke such things as Warcraft, we don't dare, we don't dare!"

Lin Ke slowly turned around and looked at the three of them, which made the three of them suddenly feel pressured, and lowered their heads one by one, "Think about it, did you take anything special?!"

The three of them hesitated for a while, and the younger one kept rubbing the corners of his clothes, obviously nervous to the extreme, and suddenly he raised his head and opened his mouth slightly as if he had thought of something, but he lowered his head again when he saw Lin Ke's eyes.

Of course, Lin Ke noticed his expression, and said in a slow voice, "Did you think of something, don't worry, saying it may help us solve the beast tide, if it is really useful, I will reward you." ”

The younger man clenched his trembling hands tightly, gritted his teeth, raised his head and spoke.

"Probably a grass!"
