As soon as Moon left, the Holy Knights naturally had no one to argue with a magician.

Moreover, the Holy Knights knew very well that most of the more than 200 cavalrymen in Bō LaBelle Castle at the moment were people from the royal legion that the princess was in charge of escorting on her journey south. There was no one else in the Holy Sect except for the Knights of the Good Hall and the Knights Templar combined, who had eight knights, twenty or thirty servants, and seven or eight slaves.

And the Firetes were just outside the castle and could attack at any moment. The castle defense has to rely on these soldiers of the Royal Legion and Lady Ellen, the only magician, as the main force!

Moon grimaced and walked up to the roof of the main building.

As he ascended the spiraling staircase, the monk kept his head bowed and his hands down, and the cross at the mouth of the xiōng swayed with his contemplative steps, glittering in the setting sun cast by the high window.

Standing on the connecting stone bridge between the main building and the annex, Moon looked up. The sky had already dimmed with the last rays of light before the sun sank into the sea.

Outside the castle, hundreds of Filiet cavalry rode their horses. Rulin's cavalry spear flashed with cold light, and the Feilie military flag hunted in the wind.

More Fijian soldiers have already set up camp in the distance. Trees were brought down, stone walls were torn down, and in just one or two prayers, tents and stoves were erected within the camp walls surrounded by tree trunks and stones. Infantry and cavalry went in and out, or took over the defense, or moved and deployed, in an orderly manner.

Everyone silently looked at the Phillips army, who had surrounded the castle, and was silent for a while.

"Lord George, when will the Ferrets attack?" Moon leaned on the wall of the stone bridge with one hand and the cross in front of Xiōng in the other, his fingers slowly rubbing.

"Brother Moon," George said, gazing into the distance, "these Firees have made a detour from the mountains, and most of the places they pass are steep mountains. It was not possible to carry siege equipment. So, we're pretty safe today. If my estimation is correct, the Phileri should build siege engines overnight and attack tomorrow at noon or evening. ”

"In your opinion," Moon said, looking around the castle, his emotionless gaze sweeping over the stern soldiers on the walls and the civilians helping to carry rocks, wood, and oil cans, "how long can we hold out?"

"It's hard to say. George frowned slightly and said, "Based on a rough judgment, Fei Lie has at least more than a hundred knights thrown here. I'm afraid the cavalry troops are already in the thousands. These people may not be enough to attack the city, but it is enough to trap us here. I just don't know if they have any additional troops behind them. ”

"Take a detour from the mountains with cavalry troops and capture a port," Moon sneered and turned to look at George, "Lord George, do you think they have no other intentions?"

George thought for a moment, then came to his senses, "You mean, Fried's naval fleet!"

Moon nodded and said, "If nothing else, the Ferrets should be able to transport infantry through the Guò warship soon, after all, it is too difficult for such a person to gain a foothold in the province of Lulian." No matter how powerful the cavalry of the Phillips was, it was impossible for them to accomplish such a task. ”

Hearing Moon's words, George and the knights behind him all changed their faces for a while.

Moon was a monk of letters.

This kind of person is equivalent to a secular staff and wise man in the Holy See, and he has no combat effectiveness in his own right, and whether he can get the respect of the superior depends entirely on his vision and intelligence.

Although Moon is not a confidant of the Pope, he can become a member of the Pope's subordinates by virtue of his status as a monk, and his insight and intelligence are probably much higher than that of ordinary people.

Therefore, no one doubted Moon's speculation.

In fact, based on the experience of George and others, this is almost a certainty. It's just that everything that has happened so quickly since they encountered the Firet people is that they don't have time to think about it carefully.

For a while, George and the others were a little bitter in their mouths.

Speaking of which, as members of the Holy See and the Knights of the Holy See in the Saint-Solan Empire, they have little affection for this country. It can even be said that they are the group of people who most want the fall of the royal family of the Saint-Soran Empire.

However, the Holy See is not monolithic. Today's Pope Nicholas II, despite his unfathomable strength, is already a dying old man. And the next generation of popes will be produced among the three popes of the three empires!

The Pope of the Saint Soran Empire is obviously not willing to become the Pope of a perished Empire, let alone become a subordinate of the Pope of the Philip Empire. Therefore, in any case, their interests are tied to this country and cannot be divided.

And more importantly, according to the rules of knights on the mainland, every knight has the obligation and responsibility to assist his side in defending xìng battles.

In other words, since they were in the Bō La Belle Castle at this moment, George and the others had to fight for the castle.

There are two reasons for this. First, the Saint-Soran Empire was invaded, and secondly, they happened to be guests at Bō LaBelle Castle.

These two alone were enough to tie several Holy Knights firmly to the ship Bō Label. And once they escape, or even fall to the enemy, without the punishment of the royal family of Saint Solan, just the Knight Hall depriving them of their knightly title and issuing a wanted warrant is enough to send them to the eighteenth layer of hell!

This is the accepted rule among all knights - if you have the strength, you can even do evil, but you must not lose face. For a knight, the crime of running away from the battle is as much despised as the filthy and despicable crime of forcible jiān than being a depraved knight who plunders and kills people everywhere and has his hands full of blood.

The knight is a hierarchical class with strict systems and guidelines.

This class of people and rules and systems at the same time constitute the core cornerstone of human society. Whether it was a commoner, a knight or a great nobleman, everyone had to abide by it. Not to mention that the Holy See would not be willing to offend all the knights and openly challenge the rules, even if they were willing, no one would do such a thing for the sake of a few knights who were greedy for life and afraid of death.

Seeing the somewhat pale faces of George and the others, Moon said lightly: "Actually, we all know that the Philip Empire launched this attack, probably with the acquiescence of the Pope. It's just that, before the Holy See made a public announcement, we happened to be a few unlucky people who were blocked in Bō LaBel. ”

His fingers, tapping lightly against the NV wall, fell on the crowd in Bō LaBel's backyard.

Across the city walls, the Philae on the outside and the defenders on the inside form two opposing worlds. It won't be long before these people will fight to the death on the city walls.

"If you have the chance, find a way to get in touch with the Firetes. Moon said lightly: "Ensuring our own safety and forming a certain tacit understanding with each other is the most important thing." Otherwise, once the city is broken, none of us will be able to escape. No matter what ambition you have, you can't do anything without your life. ”

In silence, George and the others glanced at each other and nodded slowly.

Anyway, the main forces resisting the Phillips were the Royal Legion and Baron Bō Label. As long as they are in front, and they don't play until they have to, there is always room for them.

Moon's gaze finally fell on the blacksmith's shed.

The crowd had dispersed, the princess returned to her room, and the injured papal guard was carried away. Only Mrs. Ellen was left in the backyard, and Baron Brian and Hugo and others gathered around to discuss the defense arrangements, while constantly calling people to point to the walls and guard towers.

And the big-headed boy, who was openly protected by the royal knights, had already begun to mend his weapons in front of the iron furnace. Several royal non-commissioned officers and blacksmiths gathered around him, watching intently as he kept raising and falling hammers in his hands.

"Lord George, you said that the guy who is very close to the princess is him, right?" Moon's cold gaze, like a poisonous snake seeing its prey, stared at Roy.

"Yes!" George nodded with a fierce gaze.

Moon turned his head and saw the slender figures of Princess Erethia and Susan on the balcony of the room on the second floor of the main building. And following the princess's gaze, his eyes saw the boy again.

"Roy," Moon muttered, the name he hated when he heard it from the hunting area. said coldly to George behind him: "Find a chance and kill him......!" Ask for recommendations, ask for clicks. As long as our bandit army exerts its strength, the number one on the new book list will still be ours! Down with the pie, down with the pie and the dead fat!.
