Despite their mental preparations, the tragic situation in the village shocked the people of the condolence group.

There was not a single living person as far as the eye could see, there were mutilated corpses everywhere, and in the square in the middle of the village, Williams was fighting a scavenger, a sixth-order abyss monster that occupied a rank advantage, coupled with the monster's unique strong body, which caused a lot of trouble for His Royal Highness the Third Prince at the beginning of the battle.

But Williams was in danger, and after stabilizing his position, he launched a counterattack with a sharp royal swordsmanship, and when the Earl of Virgin arrived with people, the two sides were fighting back and forth, and the scale of victory and defeat was already quietly deflecting towards the side of His Royal Highness the Third Prince.

Virgil sighed in his heart, worthy of being a man of the Lehalt family, even the three princes with the most ordinary reviews in the royal capital, can have such a good performance in the face of danger, he can already see that if the battle continues, the final winner must be Williams. The first battle of life and death can defeat the strong with the weak, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

Emotion to emotion, the earl didn't plan to just stand aside and watch the excitement, he was the deputy of the condolence group, and it was also his duty to protect the prince, and with an order, everyone worked together to help Williams solve the scavenger.

His Royal Highness the Third Prince returned his sword to the sheath and gasped, "What about the other monsters?"

Chammie pulled out a handkerchief from the luggage behind him and handed it to Williams, stunned when he heard it, "What other monsters?"

Count Fergil said, "I just sent someone to inspect this village, except for the one you encountered, there are no other monsters here, judging from the list found in the village, there were originally more than three hundred people in this village, there should be no survivors, and the specific verification results will have to wait." ”

The third prince shook his head and said, "No. ”

"What's wrong?"

"A village composed of more than 300 ordinary people will not be an opponent of monsters, but if there are only two monsters, the corpses cannot be so concentrated, they are all located in the center of the village, and after discovering the monsters, the first of the villagers should scatter and flee for their lives, unless they ......" Williams wiped the sweat from his face, "You just said that there are two villages in this place, where is the other village?"

Earl Fergill's expression also became serious, "That village is less than six miles away from here, and it is much larger, probably more than seven hundred people. ”

"Those monsters have just left, we will be in time!" The situation was urgent, Williams threw away his handkerchief, and was about to turn over on his horse, but was pulled by the Earl of Virgil from behind, and the Count pleaded, "Your Highness, leave this matter to me, as long as you give me half of the manpower, you take the rest to Orkens for help, where there is the Eighth Knights of the Empire." ”

"It's too late, Orkenes is too far away, it will take a month to come and go at the earliest, and there are no decent defenders in the nearby towns, we are the most elite imperial forces within a radius of three hundred miles, and the only hope for those seven hundred. ”

Virgil smiled bitterly, "This time it's not like the monster tide in the north before, our little manpower rushed over is likely to just give our lives in vain, and the others will be forgotten, you are His Royal Highness the Third Prince of the Empire, if something happens here, who can afford it?"

"It's because I'm a Lehart family man that I can't quit. Williams said word by word, his face no longer had the banter and frivolity of the past, as if he had completely changed as a person, at this moment he looked calm and mature, and the whole person exuded the majesty of the royal family, which made people dare not look at it.

"They are subjects of the Lehart family, if we can't fight for them, when that day comes, how can we ask them to fight for us?!" Williams stopped talking nonsense, turned on his horse, and drew his sword again, "If you are willing to go to another village, come with me, and the rest of you can follow Count Virgil to Orkens for help, rest assured, no matter which side you choose, you are defending the Empire, and Your Majesty will reward you for your loyalty afterwards." ”

After saying this, he didn't care how many people responded, and rushed out of the village directly on a white horse, Barber did not hesitate, and followed, since Ursula was settled, this loyal and honest man had already made up his mind to repay the third prince with his life, Xia Mi's expression changed several times, and finally gritted his teeth and chased after him, he knew that his previous performance was not good, but he was very clear about his positioning, he was originally a gag mascot responsible for the entertainment atmosphere, Williams never expected him to play any substantive role。

But this time is different, Xiao Hu can see from the knight that His Royal Highness the Third Prince is preparing to work hard this time, if he retreats at this time, he will definitely leave a very bad impression on Williams, which is no less than a devastating disaster for him who lives by slapping horses, so he can only bite the bullet for the glory and wealth in the future.

Others, as for themselves, fell into a brief silence.

Then, I don't know who got up first, like the Earl of Virgil, made a standard royal knightly salute, turned around and jumped on horseback, and then more and more people followed His Royal Highness the Third Prince.

Williams's speech just now may not sound much to others, but it is tantamount to a thunderclap in the ears of the guards of the condolence group, you must know that they are all selected from the First Royal Knights, most of them are nobles, and they attach great importance to honor and knightly standards, these guys are a bunch of idealists at best, and a group of naïve rich children who have not suffered any setbacks since they were born.

After encountering monsters, they were also frightened, worried, and thought about retreating and escaping like ordinary people, but as soon as someone raised their arms and shouted, the blood in their chests would boil and turn into a fire that could burn everything out.

In that case, let me help you too. Virgil smiled bitterly, he thought he had understood Williams along the way, but now he realized that he was a little too optimistic, this prince with a very average reputation in the royal capital was much more complicated than he showed, both in terms of observation and incitement far beyond ordinary people.

But what made the Earl feel even more incredible was the determination shown by the other party, Virgil felt that he could vaguely guess some of Williams' plans, and because of this, he was even more surprised, but now he had no way out, Virgil looked at the dozen or so guards who finally stayed by his side, and his heart was also full of blood after a long absence.

I'd love to see for myself how the situation would change in the future, but unfortunately we won't be able to wait for that day," the Count thought to himself, drawing his sword from his waist.
