Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Dust Settles

A figure loomed ahead, its eyes fixed on the two sides that were fighting fiercely, and then pulled the reins and galloped back.

"The Presiding Judge, Baron Francis, and the Trainee Warriors of Ayrshire have all fallen to the bottom and are on the verge of a great defeat." The knight of the Probationary at the gallop shouted to Alberta.

Alberta and the nineteen probationary knights behind him were silent, as if they were silently thinking about something.

Seeing Alberta's expression, the Probationary Knight saluted again, and slowly returned to the group.

After a while, Alberta looked straight ahead, and drew his heavy sword behind his back: "It's time to give yourself to my lord."

"Kill". Alberta snorted ahead, then slapped his horse's back and galloped forward.

The twenty probationary knights sank their hearts and hurriedly urged their horses to follow Alberta and rush forward.

"Step, step, step ......".

The earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves came from behind Francis, and in an instant it drowned out the shouts of slaughter.

Surrounded by a faint fighting spirit, the identity of the trainee warrior was undoubtedly revealed.

Listening to the sound of horses' hooves, the two sides subconsciously looked behind for a while, and then fought again.

There was a hint of uncertainty in Anelin's heart, who this uninvited guest was, and which side of their arrival was on.

His eyes lit up with hatred as he looked at Francis, was this his ambush?

Karl watched his side gradually rout, and hurriedly raised his arms and shouted: "Reinforcements, this is our reinforcements from Ayrshire."

"Kill". Carl yelled ahead.

Hearing the word reinforcements, Francis's morale was greatly boosted, especially the trainee soldiers lurking here in Ayrshire. So subconsciously shouted in unison: "Kill".

"Kill". Alberta shouted with twenty probationary knights.

It was like a sharp heavy sword, and it easily rushed through the place.

Alberta looked at Annelin, who was guarded by many guards and cadet soldiers in the rear, and his heart moved, and he focused all his fighting energy on the heavy sword.

Stretching out his hand and patting the horse's back heavily, the whole person rose into the air and waved at Annerin.

Annellin looked at Alberta falling from the sky, and before she could react, she collapsed in a pool of blood.

The horse neighed, and then leaped forward, just in time to catch Alberta, which was about to land, on the horse's back.

Alberta held the head of Annellin in his hand and yelled at the Quartet: "Stop".

The two sides who were fighting were stunned and looked at each other in the direction from which the voice came, and then couldn't help but be stunned.

"Viscount". An exclamation came from the guards of the Viscount's Palace.

In an instant, the morale of more than 100 people loyal to Anelin's side plummeted, and one by one they showed panicked expressions.

Hearing the Viscount's words, Alberta was relieved that he had just seen this person under strict protection, so he had deduced that this was an important person. But I didn't want to actually slash Anairin under the sword, which was really wonderful.

Francis reacted immediately, shouting at the soldiers on the Annellin side: "Those who surrender will not be killed."

More than 100 panicked soldiers suddenly heard this, and subconsciously threw the weapons in their hands to the ground, and the sound of weapons landing on the ground was incessant.

Looking at the soldiers who had discarded their weapons, the tight strings of Francis and the others loosened a little. But Carl and the others secretly stared at Francis.

A bloody breath rushed towards him, and the situations that he had not noticed appeared one by one.

I saw corpses all over the ground, and a total of 60 trainee soldiers on both sides fell, and more than 100 people fell on the guards. Most of them belong to their own side.

A trace of sadness rose in Francis's heart, and at the same time a hint of joy rose in his heart. Fortunately, this unexpected reinforcement killed Annellin in one fell swoop, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground now.

Jonah and Barton wiped the blood from their faces, and ten cadet soldiers loyal to Baron Francis were killed, and most of the guards were killed or wounded, and no more than forty were alive.

As for the forty trainee soldiers on the Ayrshire side, thirty were killed, and the remaining ten also had wounds of various sizes.

On the other hand, the guards loyal to Baron Annelin still had seventy men and thirty apprentices. Of these, 20 were seriously injured and 10 were lightly injured.

A hint of tiredness appeared on their faces, and everyone almost fell to the ground.

Karl straightened up and urged Francis, "It's time for the baron to give the order to the soldiers defending the city to open the gates."

"Open the gates of the city". There was a hint of hesitation in Francis's eyes, but seeing the comparison of the strengths of the two sides, and seeing the murderous Alberta and the others, he subconsciously shuddered in his heart.

Seeing that Francis did not reply immediately, Karl couldn't help but sink his heart: "Doesn't the baron want to open the city gates?".

The ten Ayrshire trainees who had not yet died showed angry eyes and stared at Francis. They paid such a big price, but they didn't work for him Francis.

Alberta and the twenty probationary knights also looked at Francis, and the aura of warning and murderous intent spread instantly.

The exhausted guards and the thirty wounded trainees who had just surrendered looked at Francis at the same time. Judging from the current situation, he and the others are no match for these trainee warriors in Ayrshire. But this is Siegburg after all, and there are seven hundred soldiers and twenty trainee soldiers at the four gates, which is enough to kill them on the spot.

It's just that whether he and others can hold out until reinforcements arrive is also a big question mark.

"Tell the order of Baron Ben to open the west gate to meet the approaching General Charles." Francis said slowly, as if he had exhausted all his strength. He knew that from the moment he made a decision, his fate would not be his.

Karl frowned unhappily: "How can opening a city gate show the sincerity of Siegburg, it is better to open the east and west gates at the same time, and then lead all the soldiers to greet them outside the west gate."

Listening to Carl's words, a sense of humiliation rose in the hearts of all the Siegburg soldiers and trainee soldiers at the same time. Siegburg was built on a hill, with only two gates in total, east and west, and it would be a shame to open them now.

Francis subconsciously squeezed his hand a few points tighter, but then he could only let go of his hand in vain. Not to mention that General Charlie of Ayrshire is about to arrive, just talking about Carl in front of him and the thirty people who are eyeing him are not what he can resist now.

"Do as Lord Karl wants, open the east and west gates, and send all the soldiers to the west gate to greet General Charles." Francis commanded slowly to the people around him.

Jonah and Buddy and the others yelled at Francis at the same time, their eyes red and tears dripping: "Baron......".

"It's an order". Francis closed his eyes and let tears run through the corners of his eyes.

Jonah and Buddy led the crowd to bow to Francis. Even an iron-blooded man, who left life and death behind when he had just fought, was choked up at this time. This is Siegburg, where they grew up, and from now on this place will no longer belong to them.

A hint of sadness instantly spread, and Francis did not dare to open his eyes, afraid that his weak side would be exposed. So in that trembling voice, he said slowly: "Go ahead and do it."

"Yes". Jonah and Buddy and the others spoke to Francis, their voices both helpless and sad. Now there is something I can do but obey orders.

Alberta felt this desolate breath and couldn't help but fall silent, if happiness is accompanied by labor pains, then let us judge the knights to bear these sins. Time will tell that everything we do is for a better life for you in the future.
