"Hmm!"

Tsujido Iko was really startled by Lord Carltin's sudden marriage proposal, and almost squirted out the water that had been drunk into her mouth, but of course she held back at the last moment, so she was choked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Ahem, ahem!"

After coughing a few times, Iko Tsujido said to Cardin with an uncertain expression, "What are you kidding?"

Hearing Tsujido Iko say it was a "joke", Cardin couldn't help but show a look of loss, but then he became resolute again.

"Suddenly say that, no wonder you're so incredulous. This was my mistake, and allow me to start at the beginning. ”

Immediately, Cardin didn't care whether Tsujido Ikoto agreed or not, and explained it without permission.

"Actually, the first time I saw you, I was fascinated by your feminine demeanor. In the past few days of fighting together, I have witnessed your intelligence and strength, and I am deeply fascinated by it, you are the ideal woman of my dreams. Of course, I don't think I'm worthy of a noble woman like you as a commoner, even if I have the status and power of a lord, but it's nothing compared to the favor of the gods. If it weren't for now, I guess I would never have uttered such a confession. ”

"Why just now?"

"Lord Tsujido, we are in a desperate situation, and we are exhausted by the day-to-day battles. As he spoke, Cardin raised his right hand and looked at it, "Today I lost a veteran who has been with me for many years. As I held his hand and watched him turn to dust, I realized that death had never been so close to me, that it had come to me, and that it might come back to me tomorrow. As a lord, I am not afraid to die fighting for the people, but I am afraid of regrets. Therefore, no matter what the outcome is, I want to tell you what I want and get an answer from you. ”

"I see. Have you ever heard of the 'drawbridge effect'?"

"No, Tsujido-sama, could you please explain? ”

"Do you know the drawbridge?"

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I know what it is. ”

"So, what do you think would happen if you let someone who is afraid of heights walk up?"

"Hahaha. That must have scared the man's heart thumping. ”

"Nice! At this time, if a person of the opposite sex appears in front of that person, he will mistake this heartbeat feeling for a love relationship with the opposite sex. This is the drawbridge effect. ”

"Hmm...... I understand. Caldin mused, "Lord Tsujido thinks that I have a crush on him because I feel that death is imminent. ”

"Hmm. Even if it's like this, do you think you should propose to me?"

"Even if it is such a relationship, what is so bad!" said Caldin without hesitation, "Whatever the opportunity, I feel that it is a great honor to be a captive of such an outstanding woman as Lord Tsujido!"

"Huh. Tsujido Iko couldn't help but smile, "It's worthy of the lord." However, with all due respect, I cannot accept it. ”

"That's right. Cardin said with some discouragement.

"Don't get me wrong, though. "I can't accept your intentions, not because of the difference in status, or because I don't think your feelings for me are real, because just now your statement has proven what you really think." You are a great man of courage, I really think so. Still, I can't accept you, and I can't even say 'try to date'. It's purely because I've found a partner with whom I can share my life. ”

"Isn't that one of the reasons why Lord Tsujido stayed here to help us?"

"Hmm. Tsujido Iko nodded.

"Hahaha!" Kalding laughed, "but that's a shame. However, I don't regret it. Thank you, Lord Tsujido, for officially responding to my confession. ”

As he spoke, Caldin raised his glass, but it was filled with white water. Seeing this, Iko Tsujido also raised her glass.

However, before the two could drink, there was a knock on the door.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"My lord, the monsters are attacking the city again!"

"What!" said Caldin, standing up in shock, "how is this possible! They have never done such a thing as a night siege so far!"

"And yet it's happened. Tsujido Iko also stood up and said, "My lord, the top priority now is to fight immediately. I'm going to gather the nobles!"

After the words were closed, Tsujido Iko turned around and walked quickly to the door.

"Ah, please, we'll see you on the wall in a moment!"

While Cardin was talking, Iko Tsujido had already arrived at the door. She grabbed the doorknob in one hand but didn't immediately pull the door open, but turned back to Caldin and said, "My lord, if you die because of a broken love, I will blame myself. ”

Caldin was slightly stunned and laughed.

"Please rest assured, Lord Tsujido, I'm not the kind of scoundrel man who would die in the hearts of women in exchange for an indelible position. ”

"See you on the wall, then. ”

In this way, the two of them hurriedly ended the dinner party and plunged into the defense of the city again.

Iko Tsujido quickly rushed back to the hotel where the players had gathered, informing and summoning them. Kardin, on the other hand, went out and went straight to the western city wall, which had always been in the direction of the enemy's main attack.

When he arrived, he materialized a golden spear and held it in his hand, and then climbed the city wall in a menacing manner. There was already a fierce battle above, and it was undoubtedly a bitter battle on the side of the defenders.

Climbing the city walls, Calding glanced at a nearby squad in crisis. So, he quickly charged, grabbed the hole in Anubis's attack, and knocked him out of the wall with a single shot.

"Your Excellency!" the man who had been saved hurriedly got up from the ground and leaned over.

When Cardin heard this, he saw that the other party was surprised to be one of the commanders, so he asked, "How is the situation?"

"The garrisons are all in place, the problem is that most of them can't move on the militia's side!"

"Tom!"

As he spoke, a loud bang suddenly exploded, and a huge Anubis jumped directly from under the city wall to Kardin and the others.

"Five meters!" Caldin couldn't help but tremble in his voice.

"Protect your lord!" the Commander immediately shouted.

When the soldiers on both sides heard the sound, they immediately rushed over to form a human wall, but it didn't do much.

"Whew!" With a roar, the five-meter Anubis swung his halberd, swept away the human wall in two clicks, approached the lord, and then raised his weapon and prepared to smash it.

At this moment, a figure came over with a violent wind, it was Tsujido Iko.

"Drink!"

With a cry, she stabbed Anubis in the waist with a single stroke.

"Whew!" Stepping back, Anubis immediately swung his weapon at Tsujido Iko, who was attacking from the side, but was leaned over and nimbly drilled underneath.

Immediately, Tsujido Iko reflexively struck another swift blow. Then another dodge, another blow. Dodge, attack! Dodge and attack!

Her body revolved around Anubis with the agility of a monkey, and her staff was dizzying, and she finally finished with the thrust "Seven Stars" to finish the five-meter Anubis.

Obviously he needed to run to the hotel first and then come over, but he still arrived with the lord Kardin, which is enough to show how far Iko Tsujido has run. Immediately after that, a fierce battle ensued, and she had to gasp for breath.

However, without waiting for a breath, Tsujido Iko smiled narrowly: "Really, you almost lost your credit." ”

Caldin was slightly stunned and laughed.

"I'm really ashamed, let me use the fight to recover the gaffe!"

The words were closed, and the two of them rushed to their respective battles again.

Although the militia was exhausted, fortunately the nobles could hold on, so the city defense could barely hold on. The night battle lasted until about seven o'clock in the morning, when it ended.

"Whew!"

With the roar of the head wolf, Anubis' army retreated.

It's finally over!

The warriors on the ramparts collapsed to the ground again. Day and night, almost twenty-four hours a day, they really can't do it.

However, it's the same on the monster's side. So, I don't think I will come back during the day.

Just when everyone thought so, a roar rang out.

"Whew!"

How so!

Iko Tsujido hurriedly looked up into the distance, and from behind the retreating Anubis, a new army took their place and rushed forward one after another.

No wonder there was a night attack, and a second army came!

Damn it!

Looking left and right at the warriors with desperate expressions, Tsujido Iko gritted her teeth in resentment. If the wheel battle continues like this, even the iron man will not be able to hold it!

However, it was at this moment that the atmosphere shook.

"Hoo ......"

The incomparably huge fireball streaked across the sky above the warriors as if it were a heavenly punishment, mercilessly striking the front of the Anubis army.
