028 To add insult to injury

As soon as the Ice Demon's Ice Crystal Sword broke, the knight spears of the surrounding royal knights stabbed it instantly, especially the shot in the heart, which directly pierced the Ice Demon's heart. I saw that the ice demon who rushed up opened his mouth wide, and his face showed a hideous look, and then the light blue light in his eyes slowly dissipated, and finally became a corpse completely.

But this was just the beginning, as more and more Ice Demons began to climb the walls, and the pressure on the defensive line began to increase dramatically. After all, the knight's best tool and companion is the war horse, and once the heavy cavalry legion charges, the same number of ice demons may not be able to withstand the cavalry charge.

However, the terrain of the fortress wall and the winter climate doomed this group of knights to be used only as infantry, losing the violent impact brought by the charge of the war horse, the strength of the knights was actually not as good as the ice demon, and slowly the defense line began to be compressed, and the smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger.

"Remember the glory of our royal knights, fearlessness is our motto, offense!"

Adams' helmet fell off at some point, and his signature long blonde hair flowed like a lion. He roared and cheered up the royal knights, because their mission was to protect the princess, and only desperate attacks to block the princess could ensure Jina's safety.

"Frontier Knights, listen, Storm Castle is our home, we will never back down, Storm Castle will win!"

Cassel also shouted fiercely, his face was covered with blood that he didn't know if it was himself or someone else's, objectively speaking, there was a big gap between the border knights and the royal knights, but in terms of courage, the border knights who guarded their homes did not lag behind the royal knights at all.

This roar was naturally heard in Duke's ears, especially Adams's desperate actions, which made Duke feel deeply. To be honest, Duke didn't have a good impression of Adams before, because this knight was tall and handsome, and always had a cool expression, which made Duke feel that he was simply crushed in terms of personal image!

But at this moment in Adams's body, Duke felt that this guy didn't just pretend to be forced, he did have the legendary chivalry, it should be said that not only him, but the entire knight legion on the city wall was worthy of their title of "knight"!

Facing this scene, Alan also felt his blood boiling, and he finally couldn't help but kneel down on one knee in front of Duke and said: "Lord Lord, please let me fight, I will prove the bravery of the Otto family with blood!"

Eren didn't say anything about letting the City Lord's Guard fight, because Duke was still on the city walls and he had to be guaranteed to be foolproof. But Eren is different from ordinary levy knights, he is the private army of the Otto family, that is, as a real professional soldier, he can't stand to be a spectator on the battlefield, and he also wants to prove his mettle.

Seeing Allen's excited appearance, Duke understood the desire for war in his heart. In the same way, he was also curious about how strong his sergeant major was from his family.

At the same time, feeling the pressure on the city wall, he knew that he had to let the defense line rush forward so that the ice demon would not have a chance to climb the wall. Because once the ice demons are given enough space to display themselves on the city wall, their strength is too terrifying.

"Allen, I now order you to lead the City Lord Guard to attack, and you must block the Ice Demon Grid under the city walls!"

Alan had just thought of attacking on his own and letting the City Lord's Guard protect Duke's safety. As a result, he didn't expect that the lord would actually let the entire city lord's guard attack, so there was no doubt that Duke was putting himself in a dangerous situation.

"Lord, ...... you?"

Before Alan could finish speaking, Duke directly interrupted him, and said loudly to the soldiers around him: "The City Lord Guard is the pillar of Storm Castle, behind you is your own home, and it is your family that is guarded, attack the soldiers, and prove your vocation and glory with blood!"

The City Lord's Guard is different from the knights, and it is almost a professional soldier in this world. It's just that the professional soldiers in this world, except for the three major knights of the Holy See, the royal army and the big lord, the other military standards are basically at a very low stage, after all, there has not been systematic military training in this world, and they rely more on themselves to enter the martial arts academy to improve their personal abilities.

The same is true for Stormcastle, and due to the frequent change of lords and the financial crisis, the City Lord's Guard is also at a low level. Originally, Duke still thought that porcelain would make money and transform the military power of Storm Castle, but the arrival of winter did not give Duke time at all, and the war had already come.

But this did not hinder the courage of the city lord's guard, because compared to the knights, they really had no way out. Once the Storm Castle is destroyed, their relatives, friends, and lovers will fall! Only in the desperate situation of fighting against the odds can people's potential be stimulated.

So hearing Duke's order, the city lord's guards in the back row raised their heavy shields one after another, and under the leadership of Allen, they began to rush towards the ice demon, and at the same time filled the gap created by the knight's breakthrough.

However, at this time, Duke quietly moved his steps backwards, forcing him to pretend, but his life was still important. Now even Alan has been sent out, with a little knight retinue by his side, which is completely a temporary conscription of ordinary peasants, and it is not realistic to rely on them to protect themselves.

So Duke stood quietly next to the tower, and if the ice demon really broke through the defense again, he could only run away. I've done my best to do it, brother, if you still want to run away, you can't blame me for cowardice, right?

However, the combined attack of the three main military forces of Stormfort shows the bloody nature of human beings. Not only stabilized the situation, but also knocked the ice demon back from the city wall, completely resisting the ice demon's tentative attack, and even left more than twenty ice demon corpses on the city wall alone.

In the face of this glorious achievement, the soldiers on the city wall all let out excited cheers, not to mention that far away, Storm Castle has not had such a dazzling record in recent decades.

Duke saw that the Ice Demon was defeated, and there was an irrepressible excitement in his heart, which was when everyone was not optimistic, and he blocked the Ice Demon's attack.

It's just that Duke didn't have time to say a few words to support the scene, when he saw the black shadow on the top of the monster valley before, and began to slowly approach Storm Castle. When the soldiers saw this scene, the cheers stopped abruptly, and their faces began to show expressions of despair.

And the sharp-eyed ones also found that in the center of the ice demon group, there is an existence wearing a black cloak, these are not ice demons, but dark mages who are mixed in the monster valley, and may even be necromancers.

If they attacked, it would be the biggest crisis in Stormcastle in nearly a hundred years, which was far beyond Stormcastle's defenses!
