The two most powerful knights of the empire who retreated to Dorne City with Deves, Kane and Kaz, as well as Professor Vivian, Mr. Merkel and others, recovered quickly after being fed the Far North Demon Orange by Donner, and they were able to get out of bed and walk around, but when they heard that they were already in Dorne City, the southernmost part of the empire, everyone was very depressed.

Seeing them like this, Deves did not persuade them, but offered to let them go out and take a look around the city.

Walking down the street, Kane suddenly asked, "Devis, didn't the Thorns Army catch up?"

"More than two thousand enemies came after us and were scattered. Deves replied.

"Broken up by you?"

"Not us. Victor explained.

"Not you, there are still troops in Dorne?" asked Kaz, confused.

"It's almost there, wait a little longer and you'll see. Deves said as he walked.

Not long after, the group stepped on the steps to the top of the city wall.

"Dean Devis, why are you here too, do you see the boss?" Enriquez greeted warmly, and when he heard Donner call him Devis, he followed suit. As for the boss in his mouth, of course, it is Donner.

"Donner seems to be at the Knight Academy. Captain Enriquez, you just fought yesterday, don't your team need to take a good rest?" said Deves politely, he had seen the world and knew that the other party was by no means idle.

"Haha, Dean Devis, we don't dare to be lazy until we get paid. As you can see, we are very conscientious, and if the boss asks, you can say a few more kind words for me. Enriquez said flatteringly.

"Yes, yes!" Deves replied as he tried to retreat from the walls with Kane and the others.

As if he knew what he was thinking, Enriquez chased after him and asked, "Dean, these adults are a little raw, don't you want to introduce them?"

"Ahem, let me introduce you, this is Captain Kane, and this is Captain Kaz...... This is the leader of the Black Temple Mercenary Regiment, Enriquez. ”

"Hey, they're all regimental leaders, where did these people get rich?"

......

Kane and the others walked down the city wall with a stomach full of questions, and after walking a little farther, they immediately asked, "......Who was the person who was Devis just now?"

"Captain Kane, you are the strongest knight we have here, can you tell the level of the one just now?" Deves asked, wiping the sweat from his head, he really couldn't accept it, such a powerful knight, full of copper stench, and always looked deliberately flattering.

"I'm wondering, that guy must be very strong, I feel a lot of pressure when I stand in front of me, who is he? What about the Black Temple Mercenary Regiment? How does he call Donner the boss?" Kane asked.

"The Black Temple Mercenary Regiment is a mercenary invited by Donner, and that person was their leader just now. Donner told me that he was ...... Knight of the seventh level. ”

"Seventh-level knight!" In addition to Devis and Victor, Kane, Kaz, Vivien, and the others all gasped and craned their necks to look back.

"He brought with him five hundred mercenaries, all of them knights of the second rank and above. "Victor continues to add fuel to the fire. This morning, when he heard this from Donner, he and Deves reacted no more calmly than Kane and the others.

Kane felt that his mind was blank, and it took him a long time to recover, and he immediately asked again: "How could he have hired such a strong helper, Donner, I heard that Edward spent a lot of energy to invite a fifth-level knight from the Knight Continent. ”

"I don't know, but I think there's something in here that we still don't know. Deves replied.

These people present are not hairy young men, they know what to ask and what not to ask, and since Deves has already said so, then they still pretend to be stupid.

"So, there's any hope for holding Dorne?" Professor Vivien asked timidly. Among these people, she is the youngest and has the least seniority, and she rarely has the opportunity to speak.

Hearing this, Kane and the others fell silent again.

"Let's go, let's go to the Knight Academy again, maybe Donner is there too. ”

After Dean Devis finished speaking, he walked in the direction of the Knight Academy.

......

On the training ground of the Knight Academy, nearly a thousand recruits are practicing around several ballistas. Donner is nowhere to be seen.

"What's that?" In the distance, Kane saw the ballistas.

"I don't know," Dean Deves replied, "Let's let the kids show us." ”

"Dean Kane, Dean Devis...... "Sarah graduated from the Imperial Knight Academy, so she naturally knows Kane.

She saluted the people one by one before she turned around and shouted, "Brothers, once you are loading arrows!"

The recruits immediately cheered. Because the power of the ballista is too great, the crossbow arrows fired each time cannot be reused, so in addition to practicing aiming at the target, they spend the rest of the time practicing winding and loading arrows, and then pull out the crossbow arrows one by one and release the empty guns.

A dozen young men were busy around a strange iron dick, and after a short while, they all stopped, and looked at Sarah in unison, waiting for instructions.

Kane and his entourage watched with interest from the sidelines.

The recruits waited for Sarah to give the order, but Sarah suddenly thought of something and said to Devis awkwardly: "Dean Devis, there is no target......

"The dolls are all done, so what should I do......" Dean Devis couldn't do anything.

Mr. Merkel, who has been following Kane and others, has a chance to speak.

"Ferres, Luño...... A few of you go to the logistics office to move a few more, and the key to the warehouse is on the window lattice next to the gate. ”

The names Merkel called out were the original students of the Knight Academy of Tris.

Hearing his command, the few men ran to the logistics office as soon as they slipped away, and after a while, several people came over with a metal puppet in their arms.

"You guys, how did you pick the heaviest one and take it out. Merkel said with a shake of her head when she saw the puppet in their hand.

The doll was placed at the farthest point of the training ground and fixed with tools before Ferrais and the others walked back.

"Ready, aim...... Launch!" Sarah's commands were all learned from Donner.

With her command, the recruits in charge of the wrenching brackets pulled their hands at the same time, and with a loud "boom", sixty-four crossbow arrows flew out neatly.

Seeing the speed at which the crossbow bolts flew out, Kane frowned, and then looked at the heavy doll in the distance, which had actually been pierced into the chest by a crossbow arrow, and the bare tail of the arrow was still shaking.

Sarah orders a recruit to retrieve the bolt, and the recruit walks up to the puppet, holds the tail of the bolt and pulls it outward, and with all his might, the bolt still doesn't move, and he can only look back at Sarah in embarrassment.

"I'll do it. ”

Dean Kane walked up to the puppet, held the arrow hard, but still didn't react, and then saw a flash of fighting energy around him, and the crossbow arrow was pulled out by him and held it in his hand. The sharp tip of the arrow has been changed beyond recognition.

"Shoot into four ......inches," he shouted, his voice shaking.

"Shoot into four inches ......" Kaz slowly repeated Dean Kane's words, momentarily distracted. That heavy puppet, even if he stabbed with all his strength with a heavy sword, would pierce at most six inches.

You know, it was sixty-four arrows just now. What kind of team can resist such power......

"How many of these machines are there?" asked Kaz.

Downer said that forty units had already been built. Deves replied.

"So, can Dorne hold on?" Professor Vivien's voice rang out again.
