667. I will lead the charge

"Qiang"

At this moment, a soft sound came from behind him, but he saw Edwards walking slowly to Zhou Ke'er with his sword, as if returning to the light, a glorious aura like substance suddenly poured out from his body, and he said in a deep voice: "There are only knights in the world who sacrifice for protection, and there are no knights who hide behind others and steal their lives." ”

Before the words fell, before everyone could react, Edwards followed Zhou Keer's footsteps, stepped hard under his feet, and instantly launched a charge towards the stairs.

Zhou Ke'er didn't say anything more, just used the black mist spreading on his body as a cover, secretly and frantically absorbed the evil of the people in front of him who fell into madness, and on the surface, he continued to condense the black mist into various shapes, sweeping away the obstacles in front of him at an extremely fast speed.

Isaac and the others also reacted quickly, and immediately followed Zhou Kerr and Edwards, not far behind them, so as not to be affected by the danger in front of them - this is not because they are greedy for life and afraid of death or anything, but they all have a clear mind, and they know that it is good not to cause chaos with their strength, and maybe they will have to trouble others to rescue them and make it more difficult for them.

Fortunately, there are not many monsters coming to the shelter, and there is no overwhelming crowd of people as Zhou Ke'er expected, after all, in fact, this royal capital itself cannot be called very big, and it is only at the level of the outbreak now, although the shouts of those civilians just now attracted many nearby monsters, but as long as the crowding on the stairs and blocking the exit are solved, it is still relatively easy to escape outside.

Originally, just the stairs were crowded with these monsters enough for them to drink a pot, but fortunately, there was Zhou Keer, a treasure that could output and set debuffs (referring to absorbing evil strangeness), and those monsters weakened by Zhou Keer naturally couldn't stop Edwards and Zhou Keer from breaking through.

It's just that Edwards' current situation doesn't seem to be optimistic, he has already suffered a lot of injuries just now, and now he is still hanging on his breath, and he may have to kneel as soon as he goes out later.

Sure enough, even when he was about to see the light from the exit of the shelter, Edwards was already as if he was about to lose his strength, and he couldn't help but stumble under his feet, although several monsters in front of him had lost their minds, they instinctively would not let go of this opportunity, and a few spikes stabbed towards Edwards who made a mistake without hesitation.

Edwards had expected such an outcome for a long time, but he was a little sorry that he couldn't clear the obstacles ahead... He's such an incompetent knight leader.

"Puff"

The sound of a sharp blade entering his body sounded, but Edwards's eyes were not bloody, and he saw that Zhou Ke'er actually appeared in front of him, trying his best (pretending) to break a few spikes, but there were still a few that missed, and she blocked them with her body.

"You can't die here... Otherwise, it's going to be troublesome..."

Zhou Ke'er didn't look back, as if he was enduring some great pain (also pretended), and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Your corpse will be polluted by evil and become a more tricky existence than these monsters. So you can't die here, if you want to protect the people you should protect, take responsibility and don't take death as a relief! ”

Edwards was in a trance for a moment, but finally struggled to show a smile, struggled to stand up again, and clenched his saber with a trembling hand: "Ah, I didn't... I want to evade responsibility in this way. Thank you very much, though. ”

Soon, under the vigor of one blow, Zhou Keer and Edwards finally cleared the blockade in front of them, and carved out a breakthrough, rushing out of this shelter that was supposed to protect everyone, but now it has become a cage.

The people who followed behind him also immediately increased their speed and quickly caught up.

"Miss Mamemoried! Knights Edwards, you're now..."

As soon as Lannister rushed out, he blurted out before he could see the situation around him.

It's just that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Edwards, who shook his head and said reluctantly while cutting down a monster with a sword: "It's not time to relax yet, it's not safe here at all, and there are still a lot of monsters gathered around... We must inform Your Majesty of the situation here as soon as possible! I have to hurry to the palace while I'm still walking. ”

"But... The civilians down there haven't yet..."

Seeing that everyone present didn't seem to have any intention of rescuing the civilians who were still under the shelter, Izmi couldn't help but widen his eyes - although he had just been shocked by Zhou Ke'er's injury and Edwards's return, so he couldn't help but keep up with everyone, but now he still reacted - they seemed to be planning to abandon those civilians directly?

"Izmi!"

Edwards swung his sword vigorously as he interrupted loudly, "Listen! With my current physical condition, I will never be able to escort them to the palace, and Miss Memoried will obviously not be in her current state for long, and the only one who can escort them to the palace and inform Your Majesty of what is happening here as soon as possible is you!

Isn't it more valuable for the residents of the royal capital to rescue the residents who are still alive and hope to continue to live than to waste their lives on these civilians who are no longer able to be rescued! ”

Sacrificing a few to save more? Zhou Keer is neutral on this point of view, and it is true that for humanitarianism, human life cannot be measured by quantity, but Edwards is the chief knight of the royal capital, and as a knight who guards everyone, he cannot ignore the lives of the majority for the sake of a small number of people out of duty—unless this small number of people are royal.

Zhou Ke'er frowned slightly, what he did just now... is working hard to make this place his basic plate after him, including winning over nobles like Nosha, sacrificing his life to rescue the knight chief Edwards, and by the way, brushing up a wave of favor between the civilian representative Izmi and the church priest Elon... Therefore, no matter how you say it, Wang Du, as his basic plate, must not completely fall.

The best prediction is to be able to block all the areas where the evil spreads and monsters appear, so as to ensure the safety of the remaining areas of the royal capital. If this can't be done, then the next best thing to do is to garrison the palace, at least there is a certain amount of strength to save and at worst... The royal capital has all fallen, so he can at least take away the existence of higher combat power among these people as a tool man.

But in case not only the royal capital is gone, but these people are also dead... Then all the efforts he had made before would be all wooden! This is absolutely not possible, they must be allowed to go to the royal capital as soon as possible, and let the king give the order as soon as possible and carry it out immediately!
