At dawn, when the first rays of the sun shone on the land, Ireen had already suffered several crushing defeats, and was scattered, and the remaining 2,000 troops were forced to retreat to the edge of the White City.

Every soldier was wounded. After a night of fierce fighting, some knights even lost their horses.

Irene was hit by an arrow in the arm and slashed in the shoulder. Halls was shot in the abdomen, and Mike's face was covered in blood. Even Count Grugru, who was under heavy protection, was already in disarray.

Everyone is exhausted.

The troops, which were in high spirits at the time of departure, are now on the verge of collapse.

And opposite them, the king's army, almost unscathed, lined up. Countless flags fluttered in the wind.

On the slope facing Irene, in the middle of the formation, the king rode a tall horse and looked down at them, proud as a god.

To his right and left stood the Bishop, and the bloated and fat Count Caspar, who had contributed to the battle.

"Let's go into the city, if you retreat, you can only go into the city. Hall whispered beside Irene.

"What are you doing in the city?" Irene smiled helplessly: "Entering the city is just to let the residents bury me with me." They don't have an oath with me, they don't have this obligation. ”

Count Gruglu on the side looked at Irene cautiously, her hair was messy, her body was covered with mud and sand, and she looked so tired that she looked as if she would fall asleep at any moment.

Behind them, countless residents of the White City gathered at the edge and watched from afar, their faces full of fear.

Once the war spreads to the towns, it is tantamount to allowing the soldiers to loot legally. This means that all of them will suffer. In fact, such things are not uncommon in war.

A carriage drove out of the White City from the arched bridge away from Irene's side, and galloped toward the king's army. It attracted everyone's attention at once.

Soon, the carriage came to the king's side, guarded by soldiers, and the door opened, and it was Edward III who stepped down.

The king nodded in satisfaction.

Edward III bowed silently, then stood aside respectfully.

"What's going on? Has the castle been captured as well?"

"How is this possible? We don't have their troops in the rear. ”

All of a sudden, the people around Irene were talking.

"Nope. I've seen this coachman. The castle was not captured, only betrayed. The wind gently ruffled her sideburns, and Irene sighed softly.

"The castle has betrayed, what about Shelley?" Count Grugru was startled, and hurriedly climbed onto the stone beside him to look back.

"Count Gruglu is there!" someone shouted.

In the distance, Earl Grugru saw Shelley anxiously carrying the hem of his skirt, led by a few soldiers, rushing towards him through the scattered formation.

"Grandpa!" rushed to Count Grugru, and Shelley grabbed Count Grugru's leg standing on the stone.

"It's fine if you're okay. Earl Grugru bowed down and smiled, gently stroked Shelley's head and said, "We have lost, but Grandpa will try to keep you." ”

But Gray was gone. Shelley choked.

"In this situation, it is possible for anyone to disappear. The only thing Grandpa doesn't want is that the one who doesn't see is you. ”

Shelley turned, standing on tiptoe and staring, hoping to see the familiar figure. But she didn't even know where to look, and no one could give her an answer.

A large number of soldiers with huge shields gathered around the king, escorting the king, the bishop, Count Caspar, and Edward III little by little until the front line stopped.

Looking at Irene, who was also in the middle of the army and embarrassed, the king shouted: "Irene——! you have already lost! Now I give you a choice, give up the inheritance of the title of the Belsier family, marry the son of the Count of Caspar, and if you agree, swear at once in front of everyone." In that case, I can consider pardoning those who follow you, and of course, there are a few who will not be pardoned. Hope you understand. ”

"Do oaths work?" replied Irene, in a loud voice.

The soldier moved out of the way, and Irene, clutching the wound on her shoulder, walked forward. Shelley held Count Grugru, who was already fainting at any moment, and followed her closely. And Halls, Mike, Abby Robles, Paz, the most determined people who supported Irene all appeared at the forefront one by one, facing the king from afar.

"Of course the oath works!" said the king, in no uncertain terms.

"Really?" Irene smiled, "Don't you think it's ridiculous to say that? What is the oath between our Beshir family and the royal family? Isn't the royal family supposed to ensure the rights and interests of the first heir to the Besil family? But you, look at what you have done——!"

"You're not the first in line to the throne!

"I don't have a brother! What is the truth, you and I know it in our hearts! Not only you, but also Edward III! What is the oath between the Field family and the Bershear family?"

"He needs allegiance to Duke Beshir, and you haven't inherited the title yet!"

"And what about Count Casper, Count Caspar swore allegiance to me in front of the inhabitants of Salted Fish Harbor! Uncle Casper!

Turning his face sideways, the king glanced faintly at Count Casper.

Count Caspar was a little flustered, but he only looked left and right for a moment, and then straightened his back and pretended to be calm.

Breathing up, Irene then shouted, "If the oath is for betrayal, then what is the use of the oath?

The Bishop's gaze lowered slightly.

Noticing this detail, the king could only bite the tongue and shout: "In any case, you have no choice! For your own sake and for the sake of those who follow you, you should surrender! Accept my arrangement! This is your last chance!"

"No——!" The wind swept gently and raised her hair, Irene thrust her sword heavily in front of her, and shouted hysterically: "I will not surrender! For the sake of the Beshir family, I will hold out until the last moment!"

The sun shines through the clouds and shines on her body, dressed in a military uniform, it is a girl's last courage, the last firmness, and the last perseverance.

Everyone was watching, looking at the girl who was only seventeen years old, and the madness at the end.

Everyone was silent.

Turning her face sideways, she whispered to the soldiers around her, "However, I won't mind if you compromise. You are all the best fighters......"

The soldiers, who were already exhausted to the extreme, held on one by one, and they were all looking at her.

With her face lowered, Irene gasped heavily, and said softly, "Thank you, thank you for fighting with me until now." But you still have parents, wives and children, and you shouldn't die here because of my stubbornness. I'm Irene. Bebela. From this moment on, Bershir, break the vows with you. Ahem...... This war is now my own business. ”

The soldiers all around were stunned.

The power and righteousness of the nobility are made up of oaths, allegiance and allegiance. When a nobleman claims to have renounced all his oaths, he is in fact renounced everything.

Erin gripped the hilt of her sword and whispered, "This is, the last order, to get out of here." ”

"Miss Irene......" Mike still wanted to argue.

"There's no need anymore, really. Irene said in a daze, "I'll repeat it again, get out of here." ”

Silence, long silence.

Finally, a soldier discarded the weapon in his hand, slowly walked up to Irene and knelt down on one knee, and bowed solemnly.

Immediately after that, the second, the third, the fourth, the fourth......

Irene slowly raised her head and looked blankly at the black and oppressive military formation opposite.

The corners of the king's mouth rose slightly. Laughed.

With Shelley's support, Count Grugru also came to Irene and knelt down with difficulty.

"Grandpa, we're going to ...... too"

"It doesn't make sense anymore. ”

"But, Gray hasn't come yet. ”

"He's not coming. ”

Shelley looked around blankly, she didn't believe, didn't believe that her favorite knight would flinch at this moment.

However, reality slapped her mercilessly, and she could only bow her head helplessly.

More and more people are dropping their weapons, including Paz and his mercenary group, until ...... Everyone, Mike, Halls, Abby Robles.

They were either unwilling or unwilling, but without exception, they all obeyed Irene's orders to drop their weapons.

The soldiers scattered, and there were fewer and fewer people around Irene, until finally, on the plain, she was the only one standing, alone against the White City left by her ancestors, facing the king's army of 40,000.

"Very well, in that case, I will fulfill your glory as a lord. The king waved his hand slightly.

The Knights of the Golden Armor quickly came out of the ranks and formed a formation at the forefront.

Irene gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, shivering. Severe pain, blood loss, and severe energy overdraft had made her mind a little blurred. But she still had to grit her teeth and stand, even though she had nothing.

Oh no, there's more. She still had one oath left to break, the oath with Gray. Because Gray wasn't here.

"What if he was here......? It can't be any better. She thought helplessly, and let out a long breath.

The king's hand was raised in the air, which was a signal to prepare to charge.

The horn sounded, and the iron cavalry of the Golden Armor Knights reorganized their formation. A full three thousand elite blades pointed at a woman.

The bishop slowly closed his eyes.

Shelley covered her lips.

Count Grugru turned his face away.

Mike wept silently.

Hall cried.

Abby Robles sat down as if he had lost his soul.

Every resident of the White City was watching.

However, just as the king was about to wave his hand, a voice rang in everyone's ears at the same time.

"Humility!"

The king's hand froze.

"Integrity!"

Shelley's eyes widened slowly.

"Mercy!"

Halls looked around incredulously.

"Heroic!"

Count Gruglu was stunned.

"Justice!"

Abby Robles hurriedly got up from the ground.

"Sacrifice!"

The bishop, whose eyes were closed, slowly opened them.

"Honor!"

The entire Golden Armor Knights panicked.

"Faith!"

"Whose voice is this?"

"It seems to be Baron Gray's! Baron Gray is here!"

"But where is he?"

The residents of the White City were talking.

"A strong enemy is in the present! Fearless and fearless! Courageous and loyal! Worthy of the Holy Spirit! Loyal and upright! Willing to die rather than yielding! Protect the weak! No violation of the principles of heaven!"

Every word carries a roar from the soul, which is deafening!

"He's there!"

Soon, everyone spotted the figure on the hill to the east.

He stood alone, holding the silver moon banner with the exploding pattern in his hand!

The mark of the silver moon waives in the wind.

"I'm Gray. Grugrew swears allegiance to Irene. Bebela. All who are her enemies will be my enemies! All those who hurt her will be incompatible with her!"

When Gray gave himself the surname "Grugru", Shelley couldn't help but hide his lips and laugh.

All froze, yes, all. Including the king.

Irene stared blankly, unable to believe her eyes.

"As long as I do not break my oath, I will obey all her commands, I will fight for her honor, I will honor her, I will protect her, and I will not ——! until death."

The last strength seemed to be broken in an instant, and Irene's tears could not be stopped any longer, she covered her lips and cried like an ordinary girl.

The "——! neigh" bone horse appeared behind Gray, raised its hooves high, and let out the loudest neighing of his life.

Immediately after that, there are the children. Yes, kids, kids in armor and riding Grey's bony horses!

"What a fool. Irene wept and laughed at the same time, and the smile was incredible.

But how good would it be if everyone in this world was so stupid?

Fifteen children, all of whom were left behind, lined up and drew their swords with a bang! They shouted in unison, "The Knights of the Silver Moon are here, fulfill their oath——!

The voice echoed in the air, and the sword radiated brightly in the sunlight, dazzling and dazzling.

Oaths are meant to be kept!

What is courage?

Those who they felt were worthless, there was one person who decided to carry it out resolutely.

At this moment, the heavens and the earth were silent, and everyone held their breath.

"Humanity has given up, but the Lich is holding on. Don't you think it's ironic?" The female angel lurking in the distance laughed speechlessly.
