Rui was sitting on a large rock on the shore basking in the sun, the most comfortable day she had since she entered Sarah's territory. Under the continuous sunlight, even in this cold north, the mage felt a little warmth, and gradually put the events of the past few days behind him for a while.

"What's going on, Stan, it's not easy to do this thing on a raft. Rui quipped as he looked at the sweaty knight who didn't know where to start.

Stan panted as he watched Tirin beside him learn his movements, "I'd rather swim straight into the river than do this." ”

Tirin laughed, "I heard Rui say that you really swam from the river on the border, doesn't it feel good?"

Stan smiled awkwardly, "It's not good, if it's not for luck, I'd probably have a fever, and the Jordan River is much wider than that." The knight looked at the river in front of him, which was almost three times as large as the previous one from one side to the other side.

"Sarah's soldiers have been trained to build rafts, and I'm sure Doyle's soldiers will do the same. Cremens expertly wrapped the stalk of a groundroot grass around two branches of about the same thickness, and then tied it with great force.

"yes, but I'm not a Doyle soldier, I'm a ...... Someone who wants to be a knight. Stan stammers a little.

"You said on the way that you were going to Canrito to receive the knight's canonization ceremony?" Cremens frowned in confusion. "Then why don't you join the Doyle army so that King Doyle can canonize you as a knight. ”

Stan's face twitched, and the conversation between Byron and the mysterious woman came back to his mind. "I just want to go to the City of Knights to receive this sacred ceremony, it's been my dream for a long time. ”

"Isn't it the same where to receive the canonization, why bother with this?" said Tillin, shaking his head, not understanding.

"Maybe I'm such a dead brain. Stan laughed to himself, "That's probably why I haven't been able to achieve anything until now." ”

"What does it mean to be accomplished? Charge and kill the enemy, have a lot of money, gain fame and fortune, and have power? It's all bullshit!" Tillin sat down on the ground and rested. "There is no standard for achievement, do you think I have achieved nothing? But let me tell you, I am proud of my life, except for one thing......

"What's the matter, you can make you feel so good about yourself?" Ruiya curiously joined the conversation.

Tirin dusted his hands off and licked his lips. "I failed to protect my wife, she was not in the city the day Darktide captured Asgard, but I never saw her again, not even a body. Tirin turned to Stan, "Stan, look at me, I can't protect Sarah, not even my own wife, is it completely nothing?"

Stan was silent, then barely squeezed a sentence out of his mouth, "You're forced to do it out of necessity, as a soldier, protecting Sara is the most important thing." ”

"Really? Do you think so? I'm telling you, Stan, all fucking fart!" Tillin cursed loudly, "So many of our soldiers are fighting desperately against the dark tide and fighting a battle that is destined to be lost, but where is that bastard of Urrel? Our family is ruined just to protect his Sarah? What the hell!"

Cremens' face was extremely pale, so he continued to tie up the raft silently.

"Maybe your wife isn't dead, she may have fled to Doyle, there are many Sara refugees who have fled to Doyle, and the Doyle soldiers have sent them to the farm, you should try your luck in Doyle. Stan pats Tirin on the shoulder. "But before you enter Doyle, you'll have to take off this armor. ”

Tillin's mood calmed down a bit. "Thank you, Stan, I'll go, and as long as there's a glimmer of hope, I won't give up. ”

The expression on Rui's face was complicated. "Tirin, can you elaborate on the day of the fall of Asgard, why Ulel never appeared, with his usual style, he would have led all the soldiers to fight until the last moment. ”

Tirin spread his hands. "Well, I have to admit that in Urel's usual style, he won't ignore us, but ......" Tirin almost had another seizure, he glanced at Rui and forced his anger down. "On that day, I was the third group of sentinels standing guard on the city wall, and when I stood at my post, it was already noon, and everything was no different from usual, and the sky was gloomy, which was of course normal. Tirin struggled to recall the experience of that day, "The only thing that was abnormal was that it was very windy that day. ”

"Particularly windy?" Rui furrowed his eyebrows.

"Yes, and not the kind of wind that lasts all the time, so to speak. "It's as if someone is slapping you with the shield of a heavily armored pikeman, and for a while, I'm worried about being blown off the walls." ”

Rui held his chin in his left hand and pondered. "Could it be the wind from the dragon's wings?"

"Who knows? But I can swear to Urral, oh...... I swear the same to anyone, I never saw a dragon at that time. As he spoke, Tillin raised his right hand to swear, but saw that Rui nodded and lowered his hand again. "Nothing happened to the shift I was standing on, and so was the gang behind me, and so did the shift behind me. ”

Rui waved his hand and laughed unconsciously. "I know Tirin, so start with what's going on. ”

Tillin rubbed his hands together, his face solemn, as if it was difficult to say the next words, "In the afternoon, I don't know how many sentries it was, I was drinking with a few other soldiers in the barracks, and suddenly there was a noise on the city wall, and then the alarm bell rang on the east wall, and soon after, the bells on the other three sides rang, and we didn't know where to go for a while. ”

Ray listened intently, and Stan stopped to listen to Tirin's narration, and Cremens was still struggling to set up the raft.

"At this moment the order was delivered, and I and a few other companions were sent to the southern wall, and now I think that if I had been sent to the other three walls, I would not have escaped. Tillin licked his dry lips and continued, "We were still halfway through the road when I heard terrified shouts from all over the city, and I didn't bother to do so, and continued to run with my head buried, but a huge black shadow passed over my head, and I subconsciously looked up, and as a result, my legs were almost weak. ”

"You see the dragon?" Rui wrapped his windswept cloak.

"Yes, we were all under its belly, its body the size of a church, its wings spread and shrouded the surrounding houses in shadow, its head kept turning, and when it flew overhead, a strong gust of wind blew me down. Tillin rubbed his hands together, his voice a little hoarse. "The dragon flew up to the south wall, and slapped the sentries above the wall, and hell, I didn't even hear their screams, they were even shot fifty yards away. ”

"Is there only one dragon? have you tried to deal with it?" Rui shifted unnaturally on the stone.

"There are more than one, but I don't know how many there are, in that chaotic situation...... Well, I saw three, and I'm sure there must be more, at least one on every wall, and some daring soldiers tried to shoot crossbows or throw spears at the dragon, but they all fell as if they had been hit on a wood covered in twenty layers of rough leather, and almost all the soldiers on the walls were killed by them, and the demons and ghouls crossed the walls without difficulty. Tirin's eyes were full of despair, and he shook his head sadly, "Without the obstruction of the city walls, every street or alley, every house, has become a battlefield, and Asgard has almost become a hell on earth." ”

Rui couldn't bear to listen any longer, and turned to face the far east. "I don't know if the archmages of the Mage Tower have anything to do with dragons. ”

"What makes you miss the Mage Tower too?" Stan looked at Rui curiously.

"Miss the Mage Tower?" Rui sneered, "I just think that if they don't do something at this time, the whole Wallis won't be too far away from destruction." ”

"Isn't there still us? The mission we're about to accomplish, I think will help the whole situation. Stan's pale yellow hair swayed slightly in the wind, his hair had grown a lot over the days, and it was no longer a thin layer clinging to his scalp.

"Let's hope so, while I don't believe in fate, I think we really seem to be drawn into the wheel of fortune and turn with it. Rui faced the direction the wind was blowing, and the wind blew her long black hair up and danced in the air.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but we'd better get on the raft, or we won't be able to cross the river before dark. Tirin slapped his face and went about his work.

Stan joins Tillin as well. "Yes, I don't want to cross the river at night in an invisible stream of water, which will be swept away by the undercurrent. As soon as the knight rolled up his sleeves, he thought of something again, and looked up at Ray, "It seems that we can't make it to Talheim as scheduled." ”

Rui re-ripped a bundle of windswept hair from the front of his forehead to the back of his ear. "I'm afraid yes, they will wait for us, if they get there on time. ”
