Nantes's question sounded very harsh to Robert, as if they could only barely maintain it now, and had no ability to resist, which made the martial Robert very unhappy, even though he now knew very well that all the soldiers in Normenkan City, including the lightly wounded, were only 2,500 people, and the enemy army outside had 4,000 regular troops alone, not including the troops recruited by the enemy army from Canberra and Kader to send them to death, the disparity in strength was obvious.

But knowing it, Robert's proud character could not tolerate this kind of problem in his own brain, and he needed to think about it for himself, so Robert did not continue to think about it in the direction of Nantes's problem for even a moment, and said bluntly: "We can still fight until I die in this city." ”

As he spoke, he replaced the word "battle" in Nantes' spoken language, which shows that Robert is indeed an extremely arrogant person, and Nantes, who was standing next to Robert, heard the stubborn answer of his old friend, and did not speak again, but he couldn't stop laughing bitterly in his heart.

Those who are unwilling to admit the truth and pretend to be brave will sometimes be more likely to be destroyed than those who recognize themselves as weak, just like the current differences of opinion between Nantes and Robert, reason and emotion cannot be reconciled, and this emotion is now spreading throughout the city of Nomenkan, a feeling of saying how long it can last, the emotion of defeat begins to spread, most of them are the brothers of wounded soldiers and soldiers killed in battle, witnessing the departure of their brothers and no longer able to live normally, and the fear in their hearts makes them face war as if they are facing Satan。

On the other hand, like Robert, they fought to the death, most of whom were knights and nobles, and the sense of honor inherited from generation to generation made it impossible for them to bow their proud heads and swear their defeat to others, and death in battle was their greatest destiny and glory.

Nantes is obviously the former, rational thinking makes him take his family honor very lightly, so among the nobles, Nantes's existence seems incompatible, except for Robert, few people are willing to sit down with this knight to talk, but among ordinary soldiers, the reason why he smiled bitterly when he came to get Robert's answer this time is also because Robert is the first person he wants to persuade to agree with his own thoughts.

Then, he failed.

"Robert, do you know how many soldiers we still have?"

The morning mist from the other end of the forest with the fragrance of dew slowly drifted to the city of Nomenkan with the blowing of the monsoon, stained on the city, so that the taste of blood on the bloodstained old city wall was much more elegant, caressing the banner at the head of the city, so that the beautiful flag fluttering in the wind could not help but hang down under the weight of the water, it looked a little sad, poured on the people, so that everyone's hair, armor, and face had layers of thin layers of moisture, looking at the eyes, it seemed a lot hazy, and finally, the cloud and mist carried the water vapor, and the water vapor brought Nantes to reason, in the face of Robert's stubbornness, he did not want to let this stubbornness ruin himself。

"Their soldiers are also decreasing. ”

Robert knew what Nantes was talking about, he was smart enough not to answer Nantes' question directly, and at the same time, his bloodshot eyes were staring at his old friend, as if to remind Nantes not to continue talking, but Robert didn't understand that Nantes was not as strong as him, and in the face of the imminent city break, Nantes's subconscious thought was only surrender.

"But their soldiers will keep coming in, Robert. Nantes's voice did not tremble because of Robert's gaze, on the contrary, his thoughts could finally be spoken, which made Nantes's voice even more righteous with a sense of self-righteousness.

"We'll be replenished too, Viscount Fieldnan has sent his officers and knights to our rear to gather soldiers, Nantes, we're not going to necessarily lose, don't make people laugh at your cowardly appearance!"

Robert's stubbornness is not less than Nantes's, in the face of his brother's provocation, Robert did not flinch, and told Nantes that Viscount Fieldnan, the master of Normenkan City, had gone to recruit troops, and this matter would not have been known with the rank of Baron Nantes, but now Robert told Nantes to know, from this point of view, Robert and Nantes have something in common, they are both quite stubborn.

"Recruit soldiers, Robert, when are you going to believe this nonsense? Fieldnan's two cities have been lost, where can he still recruit soldiers if he has the money, and even if he recruits soldiers, do you expect a group of peasants with forks to help you win this war?"

Hearing Robert talk about Viscount Fieldnan's recruitment and mobilization, Nantes was shocked at first, he really hadn't heard the news, obviously, this matter was only communicated within the viscount, and he didn't tell himself about the baron, but then, he couldn't help but burst into a burst of ridicule, these viscounts are really too stubborn about their family, and they have reached the point of vainly trying to use peasants to defeat professional soldiers, and there is really no cure.

"Robert, look, look at all this in front of us now! Don't put that false sense of honor above your own life, my brother! Look at the dead body in front of you, do you want to become the next one? Do you want your child to become the next you?! Look at the tent in the distance, we still have a chance Robert, I and your territory are not here, we have only died some soldiers so far, and we have nothing to do with it at all.

The barbarians of the south want to rule this land, they must rely on us to do it, after surrendering them, we will continue to rule this land as nobles, and nothing will change from now, Robert, this is more of an opportunity, when a new earl is born, who knows what will become of this world, don't you want to see what happens next? Don't you want to know our future? Robert, come with me to convince the stubborn nobles, you know, we can't last long. “

Nantes's words were very hurried, his face was a little pale, and his voice was very quiet, obviously he didn't want the people around him to hear what he said, to put it bluntly, Nantes's approach at the moment was actually to defect to the enemy and maintain the foundation of the family by betraying his allies, so Nantes was naturally a lot more careful when he spoke.

But this is also normal, for a small family like them, today I listen to the surname Zhao, tomorrow I listen to the surname Wang, all for the survival of the family, it is understandable to do so, although Nantes is nervous, but when he said it, he did not look half embarrassed, but it seemed a lot more relieved.

"Nantes, do you want to surrender?"

Robert's straightness was revealed at this time, looking at Nantes's face and eyes were calm, only Robert himself knew how angry he was when he heard his old friend Nantes say such shameless and ruthless.

And after this anger is the sadness that even Robert does not want to admit.

He knows very well, he is not an idiot, Viscount Fieldnan is not an idiot, he also knows as well as Robert that the result of this war, if it continues, there is no second way to go except defeat, but they all chose to ignore it, but now, Nantes has beaten his imagination into a mess in front of himself, how can Robert accept it, the blood of the traditional nobles has long been crushed into powder in Robert's body and melted into his bones, and it is not something that Nantes can change in a few words。

"I just want Fernando and my children to continue to live in the world in abundance. ”

Nantes didn't expect that his persuasion would be exchanged for such a direct question from Robert, but since Nantes had already said what he had hidden for a long time, he naturally wouldn't take a step back, his answer was very simple, and it could undoubtedly touch Robert's heart very simply.

Sure enough, as soon as Nantes mentioned his children and wife, Robert immediately thought of his wife and children in the rear, although these people were like demons in Jonas's eyes, annoying, but in Robert's eyes, these people were obviously God's treasures, and for them, Robert promised that he could sacrifice everything.

So Robert was silent, it was a desperate silence, and when the lesser of the two powers became the balance on the scales, in the face of relatives and lovers on one side, and the honor of the family and the pride of being a nobleman on the other, Robert could not make any rational decisions.

Nantes was also silent, if it weren't for the people around him coming and going, tears would have already come out of Nantes's forbearant eyes, and he could only hold on to the bricks on the wall with his hands to endure it, and when a man who was almost forty years old was about to lose control of his tears, he could also imagine how sad Nantes's heart was.

The power of silence quieted the two excited middle-aged men for a moment, and the people around them were still methodically disposing of the corpses of their companions on the ground, and these young soldiers, whether Robert and Nantes were discussing or arguing loudly, or being as silent as stone statues, did not show any surprise or change, but were carrying, bandaging, and processing, as if they were also one of the people on the ground.

For Robert and Nantes, they still have hope and a way to go, and for these soldiers, death may be the best gift God has given them, otherwise what is they like compared to a nobleman like Robert?

At this time, there was a sound of rapid running from the inner wall, which was very strange to the ears of Robert and Nantes, the city wall was very narrow, and under normal circumstances only one adult man could be allowed to pass, and it was not possible to move in a large area at all, not to mention that this passage was now occupied by the wounded soldiers and soldiers who carried them down the city, and it was not easy to run at this time.

Soon, a man who was obviously dressed much more plain than Robert and others walked up to the city, appeared in front of Robert and Nantes, looking at the comer, the gray hair and beard showed a feeling different from the old age, looking very energetic, even compared with Robert, Robert's brows were tightly wrinkled together, because this person who came down from the city to the city was the Beder knight who was ordered by himself to stay in the territory and be responsible for the defense, seeing him appear in front of him, Robert faintly felt something bad in his heart。

The knight of Bader was left in the territory, his role is naturally very clear, Bader is the oldest knight under Robert, his personality is very peaceful, and he is definitely his own family, belongs to the person who can be trusted, leaving him behind is to protect his wife and children, and who will bully his wife, who else can there be except the barbarians in the south? Robert has already thought of a way out, even if he dies on the battlefield, but his wife and children can live by not resisting the sacrifice of land, this is Robert's insistence.

"Master Badel, how did you get here? Didn't I ask you to protect Philia in the territory? If you are not in the territory, will Philia be okay? ”

Looking at Badel who was walking towards him, Robert didn't have time to explain to Nantes next to him and walked forward in front of Badel, in front of his own vassal, Robert seemed quite humble, and this Badel master did not make any etiquette that a vassal should have when he saw the lord, but bowed very simply, and raised his head, and Robert, a person who pays great attention to aristocratic etiquette, did not make any unhappy expressions for the first time, but still showed curiosity and faint worry on his invisible face。

Badel, the man whom Robert called his master, was his master, and more than that, in Robert's territory, a total of 9 knights, 5 of them were knightly trained in the village of this Badel master, and in Robert's territory, it can be said that the prestige is extremely high.

"Robert, it was Philia who asked me to come. ”

Badel's voice was much louder than Robert's, and the soldiers who had been walking like corpses couldn't help but look in their direction after hearing Beder's voice, and Robert heard what Badel said, and asked, "Is it Philia? Why? Master Badel, please tell me why." ”

Robert was very puzzled, his wife, who had been with him for more than ten years, Robert had already figured out Philia's mentality, and at this time he would send the person he sent to protect her back to his side, which was definitely the reason why Philia had to do this.

"Because there is a batch of valuable weapons that Philia needs me to personally send to you and your army, and there is no room for error. (To be continued.) )
