099 Soldiers are approaching, the crisis of Fort Orleans.

After a gap in space, Ronald appeared in a hidden cave. This cave was discovered when he had broken Adela's blood contract before, and it was about a hundred miles away from the manor, and it was a small mountain seven or eight hundred meters high.

Hopefully, it's still too late.

Thinking so, Ronald subconsciously glanced at the fairy ornament on the back of his hand. Without his orders, this so-called "daughter Irel" would not have been able to show up.

As for her ability, I will study it later......

Ronald didn't want to waste any more time and immediately walked out of the cave. After coming out of the hole, Ronald lowered his body and struggled a little on his toes! The new body after the transformation was like a wind rushing towards the manor, bringing out the mud all the way.

With his current speed, the distance of more than a hundred miles only took half an hour.

But after catching a glimpse of the distant city wall, Ronald suddenly stopped galloping, and immediately lay down behind the dirt slope, cautiously observing the development of the situation ahead.

When, when, when, when!

Suddenly, there was a loud and hurried sound of alarm bells in the city. And in Ronald's sight, the dense army outside the city was already in formation!

Ronald, who found that Fort Orleans was in crisis at this moment, immediately sped up and entered the city from the east of the city.

The distance between the two was about a few miles, and with his current speed, it didn't take him a few minutes to run from the south of the city to the east of the city. Ronald stopped, and he saw that the gates were also closed, and that there were still a small number of troops lined up on the walls, waiting there.

"Who's it!Don't come any closer!"

Hearing the roar of the soldiers on the city walls, Ronald hurriedly took a few steps back.

At this moment he saw a familiar figure, and Ronald yelled, "Captain Nunn, it's me!"

Lieutenant Newn, who was assigned to the east of the city to be in charge of defense work, immediately poked his head out and waved his hand happily: "It's you!

Ronald yelled, "No!"

After saying that, he struggled a little on his toes, and his body jumped up!

Newn's eyes bulged out! He only saw Ronald jump back and forth on the wall perpendicular to the ground a few times like a swallow, and then jumped to his side!

"Good, so strong!"

"Is it magic?"

And the soldiers beside him also gasped and stepped back in fear, subconsciously avoiding the black-haired young man with a warm smile.

"Come with me. Lieutenant Newn saw that Ronald was hiding his smile, and after he ordered the adjutant to take over, he led Ronald to the south of the city.

Behind Ronald, a few whispers were heard.

"Lord Newne isn't so enthusiastic about General Bruce, so who is that?"

"You're transferred with Lord Newn, aren't you?" a local soldier looked at Ronald's departing back with a wistful look. "When that guy was in Rumtown, he killed more than a thousand Turing troops alone! Master Crewe said that if it weren't for him, he probably wouldn't have come back. ”

The questioning soldier gasped: "Such a powerful ......"

Ronald didn't hear the gossip, and hurried behind Newne to the south of the city.

As a small, remote country under the Ekris Mountains, Falken did not have many cavalry troops, and the regular army was mostly spearmen and archers. At this moment, most of the infantry are gathered in the south of the city. In addition to the reserve forces forcibly recruited by the "conscription order", there are also many civilians who have been called upon by the "mobilization order" to join spontaneously.

The Fort of Orleans is half-built on a hill peak, and the terrain is quite dangerous. There is only a shallow moat at the main entrance, a drawbridge that accommodates four horse-drawn carriages walking side by side, and two inner and outer walls more than 20 meters high. In addition to some arrow towers, there are also some stone watchtowers with oil pots hanging from them.

At this tense moment when the enemy army could attack at any moment, the inner and outer cities were full of spears. Stones and logs are piled up. The oil pan was also bubbling in the simmer, and the soldiers were ready to raise their salaries at any time.

A few mid-level mage-like people, under the protection of the knight squad, were scattered around the city walls. In addition, there were quite a few archers. But large fortification equipment such as ballistas, Ronald did not see.

The sword and shield emblem, which symbolizes the royal family of Falken, is fluttering in the wind on the flag. There are also two golden maple leaves woven into a long flag, which is the flag of the Allied kingdom of Deleco.

When, when!

Another loud alarm bell rang out.

"Be careful, be careful!"

When Ronald saw a dense rain of arrows coming from under the city, the Turing archers immediately retreated under the cover of the shield-wielding infantry, without giving the defenders a chance to counterattack.

There were more and more chaotic footsteps, and many of the unarmoured, panicked-looking, reservists were already holding various weapons, nervously standing under the piles of logs and stones under the inner city, waiting for the commander to command them.

And those anxious and uneasy discussions, as well as calm and consoling words, also sounded one after another. The sound of everyone's scorching breathing blew the cold air into a scorching silence.

At a glance, Ronald found that there were not many reserve soldiers gathered under the city, at most only one or two thousand people. But the regulars on the city wall were all calm. Following the sight of those soldiers, a sassy and heroic figure standing on the city wall suddenly met Ronald's eyes.

In sight, Her Royal Highness Princess Victoria was wearing her bright gold full-covered demonic armor and a gold-rimmed cloak embroidered with sword and shield patterns, holding the hilt of her sword and looking at the enemies under the city.

Are you still so brave and fearless......

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but smile with a good-natured sarcasm. But soon, Ronald realized that he shouldn't have such thoughts. Schadenfreude is not right, and with some apologies, Ronald doesn't think much about it.

"Your Highness the Princess. Newn gave a military salute: "Lord Ronald is back." ”

Victoria turned her head suddenly, and after staring at each other silently with an expressionless face for a while, Victoria suddenly turned her head: "Uncle Blair, General Bruce, Commander Laldo, I'll leave it to you for the time being." Also, be sure to do a good job of coordinating with the Deleko allies!"

The three nodded.

After seeing the princess and Ronald leave, Blair raised his hand and pressed down on the reservists who were waiting under the city: "Don't be nervous, it was just the enemy's routine arrow rain attack just now. Under his command, the reservists quickly put away their weapons and quietly rested in the alley.

Ronald followed quietly, and soon they hurried to the makeshift military council under the city.

Victoria took off her eagle feather helmet and shook off her supple blonde hair, and gave a rough idea of what was going on.

The Turing forces had already captured the towns of Rum and Yorktown ten days earlier, and had set up camp on them. However, the attack was delayed, and several rounds of arrows were fired every day to demoralize the soldiers defending the city.

Hearing this, Ronald's nervous mood relaxed slightly. However, the princess's next words made him frown again.

"The latest information has finally been sent from Wangcheng. Victoria sighed softly, frowning slightly, with a bit of helplessness in her emerald eyes: "The 60,000 reinforcements of the Falcon Empire have already set out, and according to the time estimate, they will march to us in two or three days." ”

"It seems that the situation is not optimistic. Ronald rubbed his sideburns: "You actually sent so many troops, do you really want to capture our Falken in one fell swoop?"

"Yes. The princess said, "It is said that the Pope located in the temple rushed to the Falcon Empire to bring King Arthur's so-called divine revelation. That's why King Arthur is determined to conquer the small kingdoms around him, and he is ready to face the coming scourge of the Blood Moon demons. ”

Ronald clearly doesn't believe the. He spread his hands and disagreed: "Even if we conquer our small countries, how much help can it bring? It's just an excuse, wasn't the portal opened by the demon sealed a long time ago." Moreover, there are other empires that exist. ”

The princess nodded: "Of course, it's just an excuse to expand the territory." ”

"That's right. Ronald suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked with great interest: "Do the other empires just sit idly by, and let the Falcon Empire expand unchecked?"

"Who knows, except maybe their king is still maintaining royal power. Victoria shook her head slightly, and a trace of disdain appeared on her heroic face: "In the eyes of those nobles below, the power of the church is truly supreme. ”

As she spoke, the princess frowned in disgust, and her tone became cold: "Except for the believers who believe in the God of Light, the people who believe in other gods have been hanged and burned to death by the Crusade Army. She paused, and a trace of anger flashed on her face: "I have even heard that there is a cruel duke who, after every battle, orders his soldiers to pierce those people through the intestines with spears and die!

Speaking of excitement, Victoria couldn't help but slap the table in indignation. "Are these the believers of the so-called Most High God? they are just murderous predators!"

Ronald didn't respond, he just remained silent.

You're right, Jehovah, Lord of hosts, is just a holy seraph with supreme might...... Like in my previous life, I was a member of the Angel Clan, born from the Endless Golden Flames.

As the memories opened, Ronald once again recalled the bloody battle of the past. And when he thought of the bloody battle, Ronald suddenly frowned, remembering the "divine revelation" that Victoria said just now.

Lucifer, King of all things, are you still struggling to overthrow the throne of the Lord and to avenge your failure thousands of years ago...... Perhaps, you are now in collusion with those vile, shameless, and extremely brutal demons, which is why you ordered Adela to wake me up?

"What's the matter, Lord Ronald, are you listening?"

The princess's slightly dissatisfied scolding reached Ronald's ears, pulling his thoughts back to reality.

Ronald hurriedly hid those doubts in his heart and smiled kindly at her: "You misunderstood, I was just thinking about a solution to the problem." Ronald suddenly changed the topic: "By the way, the Red Dragon Moriel, those people don't know, right?"

The princess naturally understood what Ronald meant. "Rest assured, it's not time to reveal your hole cards. ”

"That's good. Ronald nodded: "Since the army has not yet pressed the border, then please forgive me for retiring for the time being." ”

The princess raised her hand and called for the attendants. "Chloe, you take Lord Ronald to Lord Torreon's temporary residence. ”

As soon as Ronald wanted to leave, a low cry came from behind him.

"What's the matter, Your Highness Princess?"

Victoria's face was full of chagrin. "You see, I almost forgot about it. She pulled out a letter of authorization and the Demonic Knight armor from her spatial ring.

"This is His Majesty's special advice, to grant you the title of 'Honorary Knight of Freedom', and a set of magic armor that has been blessed with the 'Light Technique'. She smiled apologetically: "It's a pity that the current tense situation can't hold a formal award ceremony for you." ”

How could Ronald, whose body had been transformed into an angelic body, care about these things. However, seeing the apology and sincerity in Victoria's eyes, he recalled his original feelings.

Emotions are really troublesome things......

Ronald smiled wryly, bowed, and took the authorization document and the set of demonic armor with both hands.

"From today onwards, you are the Honorary Knight of our Valken!"

Victoria drew her sword and nodded symbolically on his shoulder, along with a proverb of her own.

"May the virtues of knights always shine in your heart!"

After putting the paperwork and demonic armor into the spatial ring, Ronald quickly drew his longsword and intersected with Victoria's longsword.

Bite.

A crisp sound echoed in the Provisional Military Council.

Ronald put away his sword and sheathed it, and at the moment he bowed his head, he muttered in a voice that he could only hear: "If you offend my enemy, I will only use my sword to talk." The next moment, he raised his head and strode out of the military office with proud confidence.

Arriving at the mage's temporary residence, Ronald caught a glimpse of Anina walking through the door before he could enter the door.

After greeting each other with a smile, Ronald suddenly stopped Anina.

Anina stopped out of the door with some surprise: "Is there anything else?"

Ronald took off the anti-magic ring: "This is the anti-magic ring, which can resist most of the damage of first-order magic, and it is useless for me to keep it, so I should give it to you." ”

Anina's body trembled, she lowered her head, and her voice was inaudible: "Really, you want to give it to me?"

Ronald was a little confused, so he immediately changed his words: "Okay, if you don't want it, then I'll give it to that guy Blue." ”

With that, Ronald was ready to put away the anti-magic ring. Who knows, Anina suddenly raised her hand and snatched the dark bronze anti-demon ring, and after throwing off the sentence "and leave beforehand", she hurriedly ran to the Thieves' Guild.

Ronald was a little strange and couldn't help but turn his head to look at it more. Unexpectedly, when he turned back, he saw the squire knight with a smile on his face.

It was a little strange, but Ronald didn't want to discuss it with the squire knight he didn't know. After smiling and thanking him, he hurried into the house and went to Kerry and them.

"Oh oh, where did you kid run away and don't talk to me?" Bruno's hearty laugh came from afar, "Even that guy from Kerry is hiding it from me." ”

Without waiting for Ronald to speak, he pulled down his felt hat and pretended to make a gentlemanly salute: "Your Excellency Ronald Honorary Knight." ”

"Haha!" Ronald couldn't help but laugh, "You know?"

"That's demonic armor, Luo, I don't think many knights in Falken have this thing. Bruno strode forward, patted Ronald on the shoulder, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "You have finally become a knight, Lord Ronald, congratulations!"

Ronald has been transformed into an angel body and doesn't care much about this. However, hearing the sincere praise of his good friend, Ronald was still in a good mood.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Bruno pulled Ronald and asked a long question.

When it came to rising, he suddenly pulled Ronald aside and lowered his voice: "Hey, do you kid know, what happened to that explosive agent research last time?"

Thinking of the kind of liquid that can corrode even the floor tiles, Ronald naturally recalled that he was scared half to death at that time, and he asked with some doubts: "What, did you succeed? I remember, didn't you say that the fire mushroom grass is very dangerous, what does it need to neutralize? But if it is neutralized, it is almost useless?"

"Hey, hey. Bruno smiled and said nothing, and said there: "Let's go, let's go eat something first!"

Ronald smiled and strode after him.

"Kerry, where are you dead, Law is back, come out quickly!"

Seeing the mage hurriedly come out to greet him, Ronald couldn't help but wave his hands happily and say hello loudly: "Hey!

A smile appeared on Kerry's face: "Succeeded?"

Ronald shrugged indifferently: "Like your transformation, it's not complete." ”

"Oh oh, I said you two, what are you selling, talk to me?" cried Bruno, unaware, in displeasure, so loud that even Marilyn came out of the kitchen.

Ronald saw that Bruno actually giggled. He was a little confused, but he noticed that the mage had given him a meaningful smile.

"Alright, let's get some stuff up, Marilyn. Bruno cleared his throat and waved his hand.

It's just that Ronald looked at the doctor like this, looking a little funny.

Finding the curiosity in Ronald's eyes, Bruno hurriedly stepped forward and pushed Ronald and the mage to the living room: "Come, tell me what you have done out there, Luo! We haven't talked together for a long time!"
