"Captain Sercy—"

Sersi, riding in the crowd, turned her head and saw a torch whistling in the wind from far to near. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the firelight, a young guard dismounted in a panic, and when he turned around, his heel tripped over the reins, and he was seen half-hanging on the horse's belly, his left hand holding the mane of the warhorse, screaming as the horse jumped, and finally fell into a bush.

"Damn it, what are you panicking about?!" Sersi yelled at the guards who crawled to their feet.

"Lord, lord and captain Aiden are not ..... It's gone. Under the rage, the man's tone became even more flustered.

"Bastard, straighten out your damn tongue!!" Sersi foamed at the young man in the crooked helmet, "Say!Who did you meet?!"

"I, we met an ambush of enemy troops on the causeway south of the city. The young guard straightened his iron helmet and swallowed his saliva, "At first, the lord fell off his horse, and then, the gang rushed out of the embankment, we clashed, the lord was wounded, but we only had a hundred or so men, Captain Aiden asked me to ask Lord Allen for help, but when I found Lord Allen and led the Alliance troops there, there was only a pile of corpses left on the ground....."

"Damn!Then why are you still alive?!" Sersi angrily tugged at the young man's shirt, "Tell me! The person who attacked you is not a knight of the Chamber of Commerce?!"

"No, it's not. The young man replied tremblingly, "The man in the lead wielded a broad broadsword, and as I was leaving, I saw him fighting with the lord, and then ......"

"Winnie!" Crissi shouted as she undid the Guard's shirt.

"I know what you're going to say. Winnie stood on her horse and brushed the broken hair from her forehead, "Whatever the outcome, give me a complete return!"

"Definitely!" Selsi gave a rare smile, "help me protect them, you know what these citizens mean to us!" he put away his smile, shook the reins, and disappeared into the night.

At the same time, south of the city of Nippur. The water level of the Unun River is rising rapidly, and the previously dry riverbed is now bottomless, with countless waste and corpses floating on the water, and most fishing boats are already several feet above the levee.

In the moonlight, a few tiny bubbles bubbled up on the surface of the water, and Kenny came to the surface in pain after taking his last breath as the knights and horses galloped along the causeway.

"Whew, whew, whew....." he gasped for breath and reached out to wipe the water from his face.

Not far away, another wet head popped up.

After Aiden surfaced, he was also panting for breath, his face turned red, as if he had been holding back for a long time, and after looking around, he buried his head in the water again and swam to the lord not far away.

"Lord, your shoulders ....." Aiden said as he surfaced, looking at Kenny's sword wound on his right shoulder.

"How far is it from the North Gate?" Kenny gritted his teeth against the stone edge of the embankment, ignoring the bleeding shoulder wound.

"At least fifteen minutes by horse. Aiden gasped, "But we don't have time, the water level is rising too fast, that dam shouldn't be able to resist that long!" he paused, turning his head to look at the riverbank, "What's more, we can't get out of here on horseback, the causeway is full of mercenaries!"

Kenny looked at the corpses of the Guards floating on the water, patted the water in resentment, and then frowned, covering the sword wound on his right shoulder with pain on his face.

"Lord, why don't we take a gamble?" Aiden proposed, wiping the water from his face, "The kid who went to report should have found Lord Allen, maybe our men are also on the causeway, and your wounds are ....."

"It's too risky!what if we encounter Maga first?" Kenny interrupted, looking at the arch bridge not far away.

"Then fight!" Aiden looked determined, "It's better than watching you bleed!"

Kenny shook his head. He looked at the arched bridge in the distance, which had been large enough to cross the underpass of the boat, but now became a semi-circular hole in the water.

"Let's climb up there first. He pointed to the semi-circular water hole in the distance and said, "Then leave through the south gate, find a relatively high place, and then go around to the north to meet them!"

"Your wounds ....."

"They're there! Archers! all come here—"

A voice sounded on the embankment, and the mercenary archers, who had been fighting all year round, did not give the two of them any time to react, and countless sharp arrows came almost at the same time as the sound, and flew madly towards the two human heads on the water.

Kenny and Aiden quickly dived into the water, and before they could even take a deep breath, the light that they had just adjusted to dimmed again, and when they felt a pain in their lungs and stars in their eyes, the moonlight disappeared completely.

All that was left was the biting cold, and the endless darkness.

As Alan cut off the last mercenary's head, he heard shouts from the other end of the causeway. The voice sounded familiar, he confirmed, it was Marga's.

In the next second, he spun on the horse, kicked the horse's belly, and a figure rode the horse.

"Haven't you found the lord yet?!" Selsey gasped and tightened the reins.

"Damn, why are you here?!" Eren tugged at the reins, "You handed over the remaining three thousand Alliance troops to Mio?" he turned his head and looked in the direction of the North Gate, his eyes glazed.

"What are you kidding? I handed them over to Winnie!" Selsey gasped, "Don't worry, she's so much smarter than you think!"

"Really?" Alan turned his head and hesitated. "Take a thousand men and pack them up from behind!" he cried out in a low voice, "Margara is on the other side!!"

In the darkness, thousands of torches immediately split into two groups, like two sinuous fire dragons flying towards the opposite bank.

Countless horses' hooves and iron boots trampled on the otherwise quiet causeway. At a gallop, Alan collided head-on with hundreds of mercenaries, and he tightened his reins, looking at the resolute faces in the firelight.

"See you again, Lord Allen!" In the crowd, Maga rode out on a tall, black-haired black horse, "Looks like you're looking for Lord Kenny, he's a heartthrob!"

"Old thing!" Alan snorted through gritted teeth, "How many gold coins did Wilson give you?"

"Not much!" Magaon lifted his jaw, "but far more than you gave!"

"You damned traitor!" Alan shouted, "I've given you five thousand gold coins, and you're pointing your sword at your employer before your employment is over?!"

"No, no, no!" Maga waved his hand, "Lord Allen, you may be mistaken!, the five thousand gold coins are your buyout of our employment relationship with Gilmer, and as for the commission, ....." he tilted his head, "You seem to have refused, am I right?"

"Draw your sword!" Alan straightened up and pulled the black steel sword off its scabbard, "Let me see if you're really worth those gold coins!"

"I'm sorry, Lord Allen. Maga smiled, "I'm afraid not today, because your opponent is ..... behind you."
