Seeing the Ice Demon charging towards Stormkee, Cassel ordered the spare torches on the bastion to be lit while the archers began to prepare for the first round of attacks.

It was at this time that Eren led the elite soldiers of the City Lord's Guard and directly propped up the large shield in front of Duke. Because the Ice Crystal Sword in the Ice Demon's hand is a magic weapon, they can condense the sword in their hand into an ice spear when they are close to the castle, shoot humans like a javelin, and then quickly condense a new long sword, which is also the Ice Demon's long-range attack.

Feeling the soldiers around him running to fight, the smell of gunpowder in the air became stronger and stronger, and Duke began to subconsciously feel a little nervous. After all, this is a real war, and it's a war against non-humans, and it's a little difficult for Duke to play that sense of composure.

The Ice Devil's running speed was very fast, and even at one point Duke felt that they were really sliding on the ice, and maybe Bolt, the fastest 100-meter Bolt on the earth, would be crushed in the face of the Ice Devil's sprint speed. Now Duke has finally witnessed with his own eyes how amazing the physical fitness of the ice demon on the previous data is several times that of humans.

But just as the first wave of ice demons was sprinting, a black shadow appeared on the far side of the horizon again. After seeing this black shadow, the head of the regiment Kasuo showed an extremely shocked expression on his face and said: "How is it possible, how can there be so many ice demons at this time!"

Duke's heart was beating uncontrollably when another black shadow appeared, and when he heard Cassel's shocked words, Duke felt the urge to run.

Because the group of ice demons before was probably only more than a hundred, and the ones that appeared behind looked like almost thousands! You must know that the entire Storm Castle currently has a total of more than a thousand military strength, including the knights' retinue, and with the strength of the ice demons, except for the knights who can withstand it in a formation, the others are basically delivering food!

But the problem is that in the history of Storm Castle, there have only been five hundred ice demons at most, and the maximum number of tentative attacks in general is only two hundred. Now there are thousands of them at once, which is completely unreasonable, and far exceeds the defense ability of Storm Castle!

Damn, the character is not so bad, is it possible that the porcelain has just been successfully fired and has not been exchanged for silver, and he is going to die before he can get out of this world?

"My lord, why don't I escort you out first?"

Sergeant Major Allen saw such an astonishing number of ice demons, and said to Duke with a solemn face. As a family retinue from Duke Otto's palace, his mission is to ensure Duke's absolute safety, and now it is a question of whether Storm Castle can be defended or not, and it is too dangerous to stand on the city walls.

At the same time, there is another meaning in Allen's words, that is, if Storm Castle falls, then he will take Duke to leave with the chaos and return to Duke Otto in the Duchy of Berry, completely fulfilling his mission as the private army of the Otto family.

When he saw so many ice demons appear, Duke actually retreated in his heart and wanted to run away, after all, he never thought that he had the potential to become a hero. As a result, as soon as Alan said this, he almost couldn't help but plan to leave this dangerous place immediately.

But reason told him that he must not escape at this time, because fear is contagious, and the lord boss has been instigated to run away, and he still wants his little brother to work hard, it is unrealistic to think about it, and the defense line of Storm Castle will collapse in an instant.

What's more important is that Duke just saw that this ice demon is as fast as a beast, and it is estimated that he can't run even if he can't run! Two legs don't need to think about it, even if there are horses, this kind of snow can't run the ice demon, and there is no choice but to fight to the death. So Duke's single-minded temperament broke out, and he replied to Allen: "I won't leave, guarding Storm Fort is my duty and mission, and the Otto family has no deserters!"

At the same time, Duke pushed away the shield that was blocking him, and stood directly on the high point and shouted around: "Soldiers of Stormcastle, the lord will be with you, blood and glory will prove our strength, Stormcastle will win!"

Originally, in the face of the appearance of so many ice demons, even the knights on the city wall who valued honor the most began to be a little panicked. As a result, they saw Duke stand up, and he was so brave that it greatly inspired the soldiers present.

"Storm Castle will win!" all the soldiers shouted in unison, and courage began to return to their bodies.

At the same time, Princess Gina, who received a report from the royal knight chief Adams, also hurried to the city wall to check the situation at this moment. She just happened to see this scene, especially Duke bravely standing on the city wall and shouting that Storm Castle will win, so that Princess Gina stood directly in place, she never thought that this lewd man would show such a brave and bloody side!

But as the saying goes, pretending to be too coerced by lightning strikes, maybe Duke's swaggering move was too conspicuous, and an ice demon who ran for the lead directly condensed the long sword in his hand into a spear and projected it towards Duke on the city wall.

With a whistling sound that pierced through the air, the ice spear stabbed directly at Duke's head. In the face of the speed of the ice spear, with Duke's strength, he couldn't dodge at all, and even he was a little stupid and stood in place.

"Knock~~!", a thick shield appeared in front of Duke, but even so, this ice spear still pierced the shield, and the sharp spearhead even stayed a few centimeters in front of Duke's eyes. If it weren't for Allen's quick response, it is estimated that Duke would have finished playing directly this time!

Looking at the spearhead in front of him, cold sweat instantly flowed down Duke's forehead. In the face of the long-range attack of the ice demon, the border commander of the castle, Cassel, immediately launched a counterattack.

"Archer prepare!"

As Cassel shouted loudly, the archers on the bastion also filled their longbows and aimed them at the ice demon who was still running.

"Put!"

There was another shout, and the sound of the bowstring sounded ~ bang ~ bang, and then the whistling sound of arrows and tails piercing through the air also sounded, and hundreds of long arrows shot at this group of ice demons, launching a human counterattack.

It was at this time that Princess Gina quickly ran up the city wall and rushed to Duke's side. The ice spear shot just now made Princess Jina's heart beat violently. She didn't know why she was worried about Duke's straw bales, maybe because he was the lord of Stormcastle and couldn't do anything. It may also be Duke's brave actions before that made her feel Duke's courage and glory for the first time.

"Duke, are you alright? Gina rushed to Duke's side and quickly asked.

Jina's shout woke up Duke's previous stupid state, and he subconsciously opened his arms and put his hand on the shoulder of Princess Jina, who happened to be beside him.

"Duke, what are you going to do!"

Princess Jina unexpectedly asked Duke, although this world does not have the perverted etiquette of ancient China. However, the noble status of an unmarried princess is not something that can be touched casually.

"Just take a ride, my legs are a little soft now......"

Princess Gina, who was originally surprised by Duke's bravery, but after hearing this, her face showed an expression that was really like this, the straw bag is still the straw bag, a big man is actually scared and his legs are weak!
