This must be Alvin's first actual battle. No matter how many times I've fought before, it's just training. The first time, if you lose, the other party will really kill yourself.

On a dark night, the three of them galloped through the mountains and forests. Behind him was a large group of pursuers with torches.

"Don't run!"

"Stop!"

Similar shouts came and went.

"Why do villains like to shout such unnutritious words, don't they run and stop and let them catch them?" Matthew was already exhausted and panting, but he didn't forget to complain.

As we all know, horses are not suitable for running in the woods. If the woods are still mountainous and it is night, it is even more unsuitable.

He hadn't gone far before the horse George was riding fell straight down. George fell heavily to the ground, and the horse couldn't get up because he didn't know what had caught his foot.

Alvin had no choice but to turn around and come back.

Reaching out, Alvin sat on his horse and tried to pull George up.

The two looked at each other, but George didn't reach out.

"Run, one horse can't carry two. It's just so that I'm going to fend them off, so you can run. George struggled to his feet, drew his sword from his waist, and stopped in front of Alwin.

In the distance, countless soldiers with torches were pouring towards the place, and from a distance, they looked like fireflies flying in the mountains.

Alwin hesitated, dismounted, and shoved his reins into George's hands.

"I'll stay, you go. Go back to the White City to report the news. Rest assured, they won't kill me. There is no point in killing me, the captain of the fifth detachment of the Knights of the Silver Moon alive is useful. ”

With that, he drew his sword and pointed it in front of George.

George froze, quietly looking at Alwin's face.

"My God......" Matthew, who had already run into the distance, had no choice but to ride his horse back again: "If we are overtaken, none of us will be able to escape! You understand? We can't run! Alwin, you just let him stay! Anyway, he is the heir to the title, and the other party will at least exchange him for ransom! Moreover, his horse is planted, which means that he is destined to stay!"

Turning his face sideways, Alvin looked at George and said seriously, "I'm the captain, and you're a team member." Obey orders. ”

After much hesitation, George took a step back, bowed solemnly to Elwin, and turned to get on Elwin's horse.

"Wait! what are you doing? are you really going to leave him behind?"

Ignoring Matthew, George turned around and began to run back the same way.

"Stop!" said Matthew, but he didn't want to dismount, only glanced back at Alwyn, who was standing in front of him, and turned his horse's head to chase after him.

The wind whistled in the mountains, and the shadows of the trees in the blue moonlight were like the claws of a demon. Alvin took off his helmet and stood alone. Let the breeze blow through your ears.

"George, you coward, you left Alvin alone!"

"What about you, Matthew, why didn't you give up your horse to Alvin!"

"Your horse planted it, not mine!

"It was Alwyn who ordered me to leave, and as a knight, I just obeyed orders!"

"You coward!"

"You're a coward!"

The sound of Matthew and George cursing at each other could be heard in the distance, and Alvin smiled helplessly, tilted his head, and quietly waited for his opponent to appear in front of him.

......

"You're a coward!"

"You're a coward!"

"Coward!"

"Coward!"

......

Who would have thought?

The first mission after becoming a knight, or the first adventure in life, is such an ending. If you don't get it right, it could be the last adventure.

When he got his hands on the magic armor, Alwin felt that his life had finally begun. But now, it's coming to an end before it even begins.

Speaking of which, after all, he failed his father's careful advice.

As a knight, he was too immature after all.

Slowly clenching his sword, Alwyn stood quietly in the midnight wind.

Soon, a large number of soldiers appeared in front of him with torches. The blue-armored knight was among them. He drew his sword, pointed it at Alwyn and shouted, "Lay down your arms!"

"That's impossible, if you have the ability, you can defeat me!" Alvin raised the sword in his hand and roared loudly: "Warp and weft sword!"

With this roar, he used all his strength.

The next moment, fifteen swords without hilts and five shields flew out of the large box that Irwin was carrying behind him, levitating in the air.

The soldiers present were dumbfounded.

......

In the aisle of the castle, the middle-aged knight walked briskly with his hand on the hilt of his sword. Tossing and turning, he finally came to a closed gate, gasping heavily.

"My lord, the man has caught it. ”

Silence, dead silence.

After a moment of silence, the wooden door slammed open. The girl from before was already standing in front of him: "So fast?"

"Yes, they left one man behind. ”

"What do you mean? After the break? You mean you caught one of the three?"

"Yes, but we're capturing the captain. The other two ran away. They actually left the captain behind. ”

"Where?"

"In the dungeon. ”

The girl walked away quickly, and the middle-aged knight hurriedly chased after her.

......

The dim red cell, the torches inserted in the wall swayed slightly, and the light and shadow of the entire cell swayed with it.

The balustrade is covered with gray rust, and the floor is rough and cold stone. There was only one window left to let in the outside air.

The scarred Alvin had been stripped of his armor and shackled.

He sat quietly in the corner with his eyes closed and expressionless.

The girl, accompanied by a middle-aged knight, appeared outside the railing and stood silently, looking at Alwin.

Slowly opening his eyes, Alwin looked at the girl, a little dazed.

The two men stared at each other silently.

The corners of the girl's mouth rose slightly.

"You're the Messenger?" Alwyn asked softly.

"Yes. My name is Dophna, Dophna Ethel. The girl replied

"The whole thing is a trap, isn't it?"

"When I was in Aspar, I had my eye on you. Well, I didn't expect the age of the envoy to be so young, right? Your arrival was expected. ”

"Okay. Alvin smiled helplessly.

"But honestly, it was quite unexpected. I didn't expect you guys to get caught so quickly. I thought it would take at least a few days to toss. ”

"It's just that I was caught, and you didn't catch the others. ”

"But the others don't matter, do they? I know your situation very well, three ordinary knights with magical armor. It's the magic armor, not you. ”

"We are the fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights. ”

"I don't care about any of the Silver Moon Knights except for your fourth detachment. ”

"Yes, thank you for the compliment, which put me alongside the other three detachments. Alvin smiled helplessly, "What are you going to do with me, kill me, or torture me?"

Dophna smiled too: "There is no point in torturing you, and it is even a waste of time. All the things in you are not as valuable as your title. Captain of the Fifth Detachment of the Knights of the Silver Moon. I will sacrifice you to the abyss, and you will be a sacrifice in exchange for me for a more powerful demon. ”

After thinking about it, Alvin asked, "Are you human?"

"Yes. Dophna replied.

"Then why take refuge in the devil?"

"Do I need to answer your question?" After saying that, and without waiting for Alwyn to answer, Dophna took a step back and turned to leave.

In the prison, Alvin was the only one left looking out the window at the moon.

......

It was only when it was gray and bright that Matthew emerged from a straw pile in a village outside Karp, followed by George, who was also embarrassed.

Both of them had taken off their armor and glared at each other.

Matthew spat at George before turning to leave.

George hesitated, but could only follow.

"The two of us shouldn't be fighting among ourselves at this time. If we're all infighting, who's going to save Alvin?"

"You could have saved last night, as long as you don't climb on his horse. ”

"Can't you save it, if you get off your horse. ”

"It was your horse that fell, not mine, so why should I give up my horse?"

"It's not like I'm willing to let my horse fall!"

"Come on, don't explain! The rich boy is afraid of death! I understand!"

"Then aren't you afraid of death? You're a little rascal! If you hadn't sworn an oath to the yet-to-be-fledged Lich King as a child, you thought you'd have a chance to wear magical armor?"

"What about you? If you don't have money, you have a good father, and you have a chance to wear magic armor?

"Hehe, that's what you think of me, in that case, there's nothing more to say, duel!" George reached out to touch his waist, only to find that the sword had been hidden along with the armor in order to get rid of the pursuers, so he had to bend down and pick up a stick.

"Duel to duel, will I be afraid of you?" Matthew also bent down to pick up the branch.

At this moment, an old man standing in the distance with a cane spotted them and shouted, "Who are you two?"

Looking at them with the old man were a few peasants plowing the fields in the hills not far away.

All of a sudden, the two people who were originally menacing were intimidated.

Matthew hurriedly put on a smiling face and said with a smile: "I...... We passed by. Just passing by. ”

After saying that, he had already turned around and ran away in a panic.

George hesitated, then followed.

About half an hour later, the two sat silently in the woods, looking at each other, each looking tired.

"We're all cowards, all of us. Matthew spread his hands, sighed, and said, "We're all the ones who left Alwin, and we're not much better. ”

"I didn't expect my first mission to be like this, maybe I really didn't qualify to be a knight of the Silver Moon Knights. Glancing at Matthew, George continued, "Of course, you're not qualified either. You're not much better than me. ”

"We've just come to an agreement, are you going to quarrel with me on this issue again?" Matthew gave George a blank look.

George lowered his head and said no more. I guess I really didn't know what to do, and one hand kept rubbing the fallen branches beside me.

"This incident tells us that, in essence, hooligans are no different from nobles. When you encounter something, you will only run away. ”

"What should we do now?"

"Of course, I'm back in the White City, what else can I do? Tell Miss Irene and let Miss Irene solve it. Maybe she'll lead the army herself, maybe she'll tell Serpent City or the North. ”

"That way, everybody knows that the first time we made a move, we lost our captain. ”

"Can you tell me a way to keep people from knowing?" said Matthew, looking at George, who was a little flustered.

George said hesitantly, "Otherwise, let's go back first." I know a couple of counts who have troops at hand. I can find a way to get them to help me secretly. As long as we save Alvin ......"

"Shhhh That's impossible, isn't it?There is no name-based army mobilization, do you want Miss Irene to think you're going to attack her? ”

Matthew stood up and turned to walk out of the woods.

"Where are you going?"

"Back to White City!"

"Stop!" George hurriedly followed, "Don't you want to save Alvin?"

"He's known each other since I was very young, and although we don't have a good relationship, I want to save him more than anyone else. ”

"Then why don't you think about it?"

"First of all, this matter seems to be solved by finding a way, does this matter look like the two of us can solve it? The other party not only has an army, but also a demon envoy, and there is a demon behind it. The only way I can think of is ......" turned his face sideways, and Matthew shouted: "Mr. Simon, where are you? Mr. Simon, come out to help! We can't bear it, you come out quickly!"

There was silence all around, with only a few leaves falling gently.

"Look, there's no way around it now. ”

Matthew wanted to go on again, but George hurriedly stopped in front of him.

"There is a way, there must be a way, we have to find a way. If we go back like this, not only you and me will be looked down upon, but the entire fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights will be looked down upon. It's better not to form it in the first place!" George calmed down, and said seriously, "Don't you still have a group of men?" ”

"Do you think they can beat the regular army?" Matthew asked rhetorically.

"They can't beat them, but we don't have to, do we?" George continued, "You call your people, and I call my people quietly." Then I'll give some money and find some great characters to help. We put together a mercenary group and went to save Alwyn ourselves. This is the only way to save the reputation of you and me and Team 5. I'm willing to gamble everything I have if I can get Alvin out. ”

"Do you think that's possible?" Matthew looked at George in amazement.

George gritted his teeth and said, "This is an experience, no matter what, the fifth team should be able to solve the problem by itself." We are a detachment of the Order, not a burden. ”

Silently staring at each other, after hesitating for a while, Matthew stretched out a hand and shook George: "Then let's try it." ”
