Chapter 69: Counterattack (1)

Duchy of Morowing, Billoch City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Archduke Odinan rode on a tall white warhorse and was followed by a sparse army------ the last of Morowing's army.

"Your Highness, should we enter the city? Seeing that the Grand Duke of Odinan was hesitating at the gate of the city, the officer on the side asked.

"There should be a few more city defense infantry in the city, Your Highness, do you want to summon them with you?" the officer continued to ask.

Odinan didn't speak, just looked up at the dilapidated city wall, sighed for a long time, and said: "Forget it, they are only a force to maintain law and order, and their combat effectiveness is too limited, so there is no need for us to add some unnecessary casualties." He pulled down his helmet, rode his horse and turned around, "Pass my order, the whole army will go directly to the battlefield, and try to buy a period of time for the evacuation of civilians......

"Yes!" the officer received the order, and hurried his horse towards the army behind.

"Wait!" he had barely taken a step out when Archduke Odinan waved his hand again, calling him to stop.

"Your Highness, do you have any other orders?"

Odinan was silent for a long time, and then muttered, "Go and ask, do the families of the soldiers in the army still live in the city?"

"Yes!" the officer took out his pen and paper and quickly left.

In less than half an hour, the officer took a document full of lists and ran to Odinan, "Your Highness, it has been investigated clearly, and the families of these soldiers are stranded in Biloch City. ”

Odinan took the list from his hand, his hand trembled slightly, "There are so many people...... he glanced at it, and said abruptly: "Let's go to the city first, let them and their families say goodbye to ......"

"Yes!" Your Highness......" The officer's voice choked up. He looked up at the Grand Duke and saw that the corners of Odinan's eyes were a little moist.

The dilapidated and heavy walls were slowly opened, and Odinand's army silently marched into the city, the soldiers silent, and only the dull and neat footsteps of the ancient streets rang out.

Everyone knew that this was their last goodbye before they died.

After the army had rested for a while, Odinan strode to the City Lord's Mansion, which would probably be the last time he would deal with Moroving's affairs.

"Butler, did Madame leave in time?" After finishing some paperwork, Odinan called the housekeeper of his house and asked about Caitlin.

"Your Highness, at your orders, Madame departed for the territory of the St. John's Empire a week ago. The butler replied respectfully.

"That's good, in a week, at the speed of that four-seater carriage, it should be almost to the border......" Odinan sat in the hall, staring into the distance, and smiled with some relief.

His wife, Caitlin, was the only person he couldn't rest assured of, and she had accompanied him to the front many times despite the danger, and now that she was gone, she could finally rest assured.

"Your Royal Highness, Madame, she has always been at ease with you, she is very worried about your condition, I hope you ......" The butler swallowed his saliva and stopped talking.

"Heh~" Odinan smiled with relief, "It's all like this, there's nothing to worry about, butler, after I'm gone, you should leave this city quickly, if you have a chance to meet Caitlin, tell her that I will always love her......"

"Yes, His Royal Highness...... butler nodded, choked up and speechless.

"Your Highness, urgent military situation, urgent military situation!" a guard suddenly burst into the City Lord's Mansion with a hurried expression, and shouted loudly.

"Tell me, what's the situation?" Odinan stared blankly at the table, his right index finger tapping on the table. The current situation was already in the worst place, and Morowing's military strength was in a state of total collapse, and he would not be surprised by any unfavorable information at this time.

"Great victory! Our army has won a great victory! The attack of the demons has been stopped in the outskirts of Biloch City!" the guard's words were full of excitement that could not be concealed.

"What are you talking about, we actually won?" Odinan jumped up from his seat with an expression of disbelief, the army on the Morowing front line had obviously broken up, how could there be news of a great victory all of a sudden.

"Say it again, what is the situation?" the joy that fell from heaven made the young Grand Duke hardly believe his ears.

"Your Highness, yes, we won!" the officer gasped and said happily: "Five days ago, there was a mysterious warrior who helped us reorganize our army, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the demon army to copy their back road, and now, the demon offensive has been blocked, and most of its main force has retreated to Ramadi, so, we have won......"

"Mysterious warrior?" Odinan muttered to himself, suddenly remembering the Xia Demon Warrior who saved him not long ago, "Is it a very young Demon Warrior in a black robe, medium build?"

"It doesn't seem like so. The officer pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "The man is unusually tall, almost a head taller than a normal person, he is dressed in blue anti-magic armor and wears a covered helmet, we don't know the specific identity of this hero, only that he calls himself 'Demon Slayer'." ”

Odinan frowned, the appearance of this "Demon Slayer" seemed to match anyone he could know, and continued to ask: "Then this self-proclaimed 'Demon Slayer' hero, can he do magic?"

"Your Highness, I don't know about this, he doesn't seem to have used magic, but his martial arts are really powerful, I have seen him spawn a sword and defeat several high-level demons, he must be a great paladin!"

"Paladin??" Odinan was even more puzzled at the moment, Morowing, as a small country, there were only a few paladins, and after the Heavy Knights were disbanded by a conspiracy, except for himself, there were no high-ranking warriors in the entire Morowing.

Listening to the officer's description, the "Demon Slayer" has superb martial arts skills, and he is completely not under him, so who is he?

"Your Highness......" The old butler couldn't control his excitement at this time, and walked to Odinan's side tremblingly, "Listening to this officer's description, I think of a man who was the most powerful warrior in the entire history of Morowing's reign during the reign of the royal family......"

"Holy Sword Master, Baldwin Mongiza!" exclaimed the Grand Duke and the officer almost simultaneously!

"Merciful and great Lord, thank you for your protection of Morowing...... "The Grand Duke took out the cross and prayed sincerely, the Holy Knight Baldwin is the legend of Morowing, he became famous during the reign of the royal family, once swore allegiance to the old King Bode V, legend has it that he was upright, jealous and hateful, so as to give the common people grievances, and then because of dissatisfaction with the corruption of the royal family, angry and secluded in the mountains and forests.

However, the legend about him is still continuing, for a long time, the secluded Shenghui Sword Saint is still not willing to be lonely, he saw that the road is uneven, he once single-handedly uprooted the largest thief organization in Morowing, he eradicated the evil, once went straight to the military camp alone, and directly captured the Morovin generals who embezzled military funds and oppressed civilians, and tied them to the old king...... His heroic deeds were written into ballads by the bards, and sung throughout the land of Morowing......

"I always thought he died in the War of the Roses, but I didn't expect him to be alive. "Odinan was quite emotional, when the elves invaded Morowing, the Holy Radiance Sword Saint helped him once, but after that, his whole person seemed to have completely disappeared, so that for a long time, everyone thought that he had been killed in that war.

Suddenly there was a thunderous cheer outside the hall, and the officer ran out to take a look, and then shouted excitedly: "Your Highness, the 'Demon Slayer', oh no, it's the Holy Radiance Knight!

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry! go out of the city to greet you!" Grand Duke Odinan hurriedly pushed open the gate and walked towards the outside of the city lord's mansion with the officers and stewards in succession.
