029 Impressed
That's it! This is the first thought that pops into Duke's mind, why is he so unlucky, I thought that I was reborn as a nobleman, God was good to me, after all, reincarnation is not a difficult mode.
As a result, before I had time to be greedy for pleasure, I encountered this kind of once-in-a-century thing, and it was too sad, God this is doing something!
"Princess, I'll cover your retreat, Storm Castle can't hold it anymore. ”
When Adams saw this scene, he immediately blocked in front of Jina, he planned to cover the princess as fast as possible, after all, as a guardian knight, protecting Princess Jina's safety would be the primary responsibility. And Stormcastle isn't the princess's domain either, she's done what she has to do.
Ji Na was also at a loss at the moment, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Duke at the back of the city wall, I don't know why, at this moment she pinned her hopes on Duke, hoping that this straw bag she thought could create a miracle.
In fact, it was not just the princess, but the soldiers present all subconsciously looked at Duke, no matter what he did before, whether he could bear it now or not, Duke was the lord of Storm Castle, and he was also the pillar of the entire Storm Castle!
Looking at the pair of desperate eyes, Duke opened his mouth, but said nothing. The previous slogans that pretended to be lofty had no meaning in the face of the cruel reality. Even at this moment, Duke thought that if he really couldn't do it, he announced that all the members had broken through, and it was inevitable that Storm Castle would be breached.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, we must go, there will be no time for the ice demon to rush up the city wall!"
Seeing that Gina didn't move, Adams began to get anxious, and even the royal knights gradually began to gather. As noble royal knights, it is not their duty to guard Stormcastle, and their chivalry is certainly commendable, but no one wants to stay alive.
Duke looked at Princess Gina with a wry smile on his face, if he could, let this little girl run first. Let's not talk about the identity of a princess, as the only woman here, I should talk about a gentleman's spirit at this time.
No, Storm Castle is not just a woman, there are many old and weak women and children, if it is only the ice demons, they are more just robbing human children. Now that there are necromancers, it may be inevitable that a massacre will be inevitable, because the dead are the best complement to the undead ghouls, a scene that was played out a hundred years ago.
When all this came to his memory, Duke struggled inwardly, whether to run away with Princess Gina or stick to his duties as a lord?
In the end, Duke gritted his teeth and decided to fight!, he pretended to be forced, and he had to finish the image of this tall lord with tears, otherwise he would succeed in running away, and his reputation in this world would be completely ruined, even if Henry VII was not punished, everyone would think that the third son of the iron-blooded Otto family was a coward who gave up the people of the territory!
Previously, Duke felt that as long as he could eat and wait for death, it didn't matter if he was called a coward. However, after these days, Duke understands that a coward who has no strength in this dangerous world is just a plate of dishes that can be slaughtered, and he can cut it as he wants, and once there is any accident with his cheap father, his good life will come to an end.
"The Royal Knights covered the retreat of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the knights' retinue also withdrew from the fortress to organize the evacuation of the people in the city from the valley path. The rest of the border guards and the guards were with me behind the castle walls. ”
After a quick arrangement, Duke roared in his loudest voice: "The Ice Demon is about to rush over, hold on to his own defense, and be ready for battle!"
This roar shocked all the soldiers on the city wall, they didn't expect the lord to choose to fight to the death at this time. Princess Gina stood even more dumbfounded, looking at Duke in disbelief in her eyes, this guy was obviously scared and his legs were weak just now, why did he choose to stay at this time?
Even Gina herself thinks that it is not an unacceptable thing for Duke to choose to give up in this situation. Because he has only been in Storm Castle for more than a month after all, it is obviously unrealistic to let such a gentleman turn the tide.
When Sergeant Major Allen heard Duke's words, he began to tremble with excitement, as a subordinate of Duke Otto, he has always regarded Duke Otto as his idol and spiritual symbol, and courage and glory are the symbols of the Otto family!
Now he also saw the same courage and blood as Duke Otto in Duke, as a pure soldier, he was willing to sacrifice with such a lord!
"City Lord Guard, turn around and prepare for battle!"
Alan shouted, then raised his heavy shield and turned to face the wall without hesitation. And the soldiers of the city lord's guard, whether they are really afraid of sacrifice for courage and glory in their hearts, but Duke chose to let the people in the city go first, which means that the longer they resist, the better the chance of their parents, wives and children surviving.
So soon a soldier raised his long sword and turned to face the rushing ice demon like Allen. At the same time, Cassel also brandished his riding spear and erected it on the city wall, as a knight he naturally has his own pride, sacrifice is also part of the spirit of chivalry, he could not let himself fall behind these ordinary soldiers.
With the same idea as Cassel, the members of the Border Knights also gave up their plans to escape, or it may be that this is the world values, there is not even despair in their eyes at this moment, but there is a kind of fighting spirit and pride, the knight who died on the battlefield is the real knight!
"Why are you still looking at it, let's retreat quickly. Duke looked at Princess Gina, who was still in a daze, and a smile on his face was more ugly than crying.
When Princess Gina heard this, she looked at Duke with complicated eyes, but Adams couldn't wait, he directly grabbed Gina's arm and prepared to take her away from the city.
"Let's go, although you are not a vase, but the war still makes women go away. ”
After saying this, Duke bent down to pick up a fallen sword from the ground and walked towards the city wall. Since there is no intention of running away now, there is no point in standing by the stairs and hiding, it is better to be brave and walk towards the city wall, at least leaving a heroic image.
Looking at Duke's back, Princess Gina bit her lip lightly, she knew that she couldn't stay any longer, so she turned her head and prepared to lead the royal knight to evacuate quickly.
But as soon as she turned her head, she saw a middle-aged man in a black robe pacing towards the city. The middle-aged man looked at Duke with a smile on his face that was both righteous and evil, and said in a playful tone: "Little guy, your performance really impresses me, a bit of Otto's shadow." ”
When he heard this, Duke trembled as if he had been shocked, this voice was very familiar to him, it was Gandalf!
"Why are you here?" asked Duke in surprise.
Faced with this, the smile on Gandalf's face became even worse, he walked up to Duke, put his head close to his ear and whispered: "You haven't shown me the power of science, and more importantly, I'm curious about how you can pronounce the Holy See a heretic, if you let you die like this, it will be too boring." ”
