It's really frustrating for him...... Why am I such a waste of wood...... 500 more words, apologize, I must be earlier tomorrow!

——

Turn the tide and save the whole city from fire and water?

Edward had no interest in running to support the city defenders, under the simultaneous raid of the four city gates, the soldiers in the city had been scattered too strictly, and the female general had just arrived, and the run-in with the troops was not in place, even if the other party stopped attacking, it would take a lot of effort to rein in this group of panicked things.

If he had that idleness, he wouldn't be Edward...... This is not the time that Faun can solve the problem by capturing the thief and the king, even if he saves the city from fire and water, how much benefit can he get? Not to mention that he still has such a group of rabble, fame is a good thing, and it can be exchanged for a lot of convenience, but Edward knows very well that the ending of those guys who don't live up to the name is usually not very ideal.

What's more, if in this process, he sacrifices his life for the country, I am afraid that it will become 213 that violates the most basic rules of crossing points - and judging from the current situation, as long as he chooses that path, I am afraid that kind of result will definitely occur.

What's more, the current situation doesn't give him that chance at all.

It's not just the knights gathered around...... A large group of figures poked their heads out of the alleys on all sides, tall and short, men and women, poking their heads out from behind the walls of the corners, looking at the busy group of soldiers with a wince, but not wanting to lean in.

This should be some of the more courageous civilians in the vicinity. They knew that after the city was broken, those simple basements obviously couldn't give them enough protection, so they simply ran out to try their luck...... In fact, they didn't know what they were supposed to do or follow, but instinctively followed their habits and gathered around them where there were more soldiers.

"Then, everyone, come with me......" his gaze swept over the paladin beside him. The Psychic sighed. Beneath the hood, the dark brown pupils shimmered with silver, and all the cacophony sounded. all became his commands:

"Assemble the ranks, the cavalry advances, and the spearmen support the wings. All with ranged weapons. Whether it is a bow or a crossbow, they are all gathered and the civilians are protected behind, and those who have no weapons among the civilians are brought from the guards, and all the able-bodied men must take a weapon, and if the women can choose, they take a crossbow. Remember, it's for your family......! Knights of the Honours, also with a light crossbow, if necessary, take two, and I'll give you two hourglass scales, and then we'll go to the West Gate......"

"Simon? Shouldn't you go to the castle first and help defend it?"

Although the absolute superiority in identity and strength. In an instant, everyone had already decided that the mage lord would give the order, but after all, this was only a temporary combination, and there was always some doubt when the order was given—in fact, the guy who asked the question was not intentionally offended, but now, the fire of the whole city was gradually brightened, and most of them were lit from the northwest direction: "That, I mean...... Now that the north gate is about to break, it seems that the direction of the south gate is the most suitable for evacuation...... You know, we can't afford to put the safety of civilians at the expense......"

He explained in a bit of a panic, trying to find an excuse for his cowardice, but his eyes matched those silver eyes, and he didn't know what he should say, so he could only get stuck there in embarrassment.

Fortunately, the interim leader did not oppose his opinion – at least not to flee.

"No enemies?"

Looking at the team around him that was starting to become neat, Edward sneered: "The specific number of Emperor ** is not known yet, but even if they can mobilize 100,000 people, can they move these 100,000 people to the front of Heyman City without realizing it? Not to mention that they are running long distances and attacking the city suddenly without preparation."

After a pause, he continued, and the knights' expressions became stern—not only the nobles around Edward, but also the few cavalrymen who had just gathered not far away.

"Although some of the branches of Mount Brickley are near the city, Hayman is actually a city on the plains, and to launch a fierce attack from the four gates, their forces are definitely not enough, and from the evening to the present day there is no time for them to completely spread out outside the four gates, therefore, if I am the commander of the other side, the smart way is to do this, the main attack is on one side, surround both sides, throw surprise troops to infiltrate, and leave one side for the enemy to retreat, and at the same time lay a trap in this direction with light cavalry, so if we escape from there, we will find death......”

He said, then turned his gaze to the paladin to the side, as if to give her an explanation: "At this time, as long as there is a city gate still in our hands, the damage can be minimized...... Otherwise, once the city is breached, I am afraid that the losses will not be ordinarily large. ”

"But...... But you can also go east, after all, it......'s close to here," the questioner shook his head, and spoke again with the same inertia, but at this time, not many people would pay attention to his snort—everyone was busy arming themselves.

Only Miguel sneered at this time and let go of his voice.

"The flames on the west side are not small, and the shouting is probably the loudest...... However, do you pay attention to the sky over there, where the number of trebuchets and arrows is the lowest, so the enemy must not have invested too many troops over there! Besides, there is no city of ours in that direction, so the Empire should not care about us going out from that direction!"

The mage apprentice seemed to be more confident at the moment, he held his chest out, and seemed extremely ...... With honor.

However, Edward was in no mood to pay attention to this subordinate and his arrogant behavior...... He must now calculate his odds of survival.

Now the advantage of this group of people is not completely absent, because it is not the focus of the enemy's care, so there is a lot more time left for them to react, of course, most of the reason for this is that these second-generation nobles do not abide by the rest system in the barracks at all, basically do not sleep, but react faster than the other parts.

But that doesn't mean they're any better. Especially now that you have to take care of the idea of the holy knights, you have to bring a large group of civilians for no reason.

"Where's that girl Lisa?"

Edward reached out and rubbed his brow. Noticed another trouble - the girl was supposed to live with Elena. It is not far from the small building that he has been allocated, but now that there is a commotion, even all the second-generation nobles have run out. She wouldn't have been unaware, but now Edward hadn't seen the little figure.

"I don't know...... I've sent a message to her teleportation mirror just now, but she doesn't seem to respond. ”

Edward's brow became even more sour...... This time. Priests are undoubtedly one of the necessary combat forces. And if necessary, he can only try to use teleportation, but this girl is just against him, and when he needs to, he disappears!

But it's not a good idea to look for her now...... God knows where this troublemaker has gone? Fortunately, the girl is a good priest and proficient in teleportation spells, so as long as she doesn't face too many enemies with the other party, she shouldn't be in danger lightly.

In the midst of many concerns, this handful of improvised cobbled together people. It finally made the trip.

Fortunately, the gates of the north seem to be still in the grip. And the task of those Scarlet Knights. It was supposed to be causing chaos, so the team moved forward four or five blocks without any particular trouble...... Well, if you don't count the more and more bloated civilian contingent in the back.

The streets were narrow, and they didn't have the ability to surround them, but they followed them like this, and at least they had caught up with four or five hundred people piecemeal......

This situation will obviously cause some trouble, just now. There was no time to deal with it, and Edward shook his head at the front of the group. OK. The narrow road had come to an end, and the procession had reached the square in front of the castle, and as long as it passed through Guò, it was possible to run directly on the main road to the west gate, a distance of two or three miles, and it would not take long.

Of course, in fact, there is a relatively safe place, that is, the castle of the city lord, where there should be perfect protection, teleportation circle, and secret passages to the outside of the city, etc., but with the current chaos, if you run under the castle, you will run into the imperial people I don't know, but if you expect that the city lord's Excellency will open the castle gate at the risk of being entered by the enemy, and let this group of people in......

The gates of the castle creaked and fell!

The voice made everyone look back...... Looking at a small group, they rushed out of the gate.

There were more than a dozen horsemen in this group of knights, but the horses under them were obviously extremely handsome, and they had already rushed through the square in almost a breath!

And so the collision happened immediately.

"Get out of here, get out of here, who gave you permission to get out!"

One of the knights in front shouted and cursed, and in the flickering firelight, he couldn't see what kind of people he was facing, only saw dozens of civilians dragging their children and daughters in the front, blocking half of the road, and the horses were frightened by the shouts of those panicked, and reflexively slowed down, which made the knight can't help but be angry. He waved the horsewhip in his hand hatefully, and at the same time rode his horse straight forward: "We are the knights of the guards directly under the city lord, and we have something to do, you untouchables, dare to obstruct, are you impatient?" Do you want us to deal with you by military law?"

The civilians screamed and stepped back, instinctively dodging the horses and the whips that fell on their heads. As a result, the streets were in turmoil, and some people on their side were staggered.

"Bastard! What are you! Even your city lord doesn't dare to talk to the old men like this, you little soldier ruffian dares to openly threaten the nobles, I think you are impatient! Ke Li, kill him for me!"

A second-generation knight was on the side of the team at the moment, he didn't get a horse, so he could only be supported forward by a few servants, but because of the problem of his body, he was on the edge of the team, and his armor was also lost because of the inner lining, and the skin was rubbed between actions, so that he kept grinning and was squeezed by several civilians. Suddenly jumped up. As soon as the stomach was angry, it was hit by a venting point!

Of course, this kind of thing has been the same since ancient times - the servant next to him also seems to be a character who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic. Hearing this, he immediately pulled out a short bow in his hand and gave the guy an arrow with a bang. Although this hasty arrow did not have much accuracy, it still scared this knight out of a cold sweat!

"You untouchables. Do you want to rebel!" The momentary panic immediately turned into a furious rage. He choked and drew his sword!

However, the next moment, a voice made everyone's movements pause.

The sound came from the castle on the other side of the square, like a dull click that shattered something brittle, and like the friction of lightning...... And with this sound, the highest watchtower of the castle suddenly burst out with a brilliant luster!

It was a bright, human-sized light. It went straight up, a few hundred feet high, and then scattered in all directions into a large patch of tiny lightning, which dissipated like a firework.

"Oh no! That's the defense circle! The main vein of the magic defense circle has been destroyed! What happened in the castle?" Miguel suddenly exclaimed.

This voice immediately caused a messy shout, although most of the people around were civilians, but they knew the significance of the word magic defense circle......

And then soon, some smart people straightened things out a bit: "These guys are spies." They must have just killed them!"

"We're not spies! Bastards, we're the city lord's guards! The defensive circle was ordered by the city lord to be lifted, uh. We're not enemies anyway, you bastards!" Several arrows suddenly flew from all directions, and a group of people on one side also raised their weapons in their hands, so the knights suddenly rose to their feet, and they raised their large shields to the left and right, and roared in panic at the same time.

"Stop for now!"

Edward tugged at the reins of his horse and turned in that direction, and beside him, the knights consciously made way for him, so that the otherwise disorganized populace dodged in the same way. As a result, a path appeared in the crowd almost instantaneously. And the dotted torches were concentrated on both sides of the road because of this.

In the dim darkness of the fire, it resembles the feats of the legendary sages who parted the sea.

"What are you doing here without defending the castle...... What happened in the castle just now?If you say that this is the order of the city lord, what evidence is there?" Edward frowned as he rode forward and swept his gaze over the dozen knights, and the next moment, his tone suddenly changed,

"Well, Lord Castle, it seems that they are not lying...... However, what is the situation that requires you to disguise yourself? Do you want to support the arming of the city gate? However, with this little manpower, is there a little less? You are a daughter, and you should not be lightly involved. ”

The telemancer's voice was an understatement, but the rhythm amplified by the manipulation sound clearly reached everyone's ears.

So, there was a big uproar.

The lord of the city, now wearing an ordinary guard knight armor, and a helmet, if you don't look closely, I'm afraid you will only think that it is an ordinary knight, but this small group of knights is too small, only ten horses, in this flickering battlefield, others may not be able to distinguish, but Edward 'mouthed' him out of the crowd at a glance - darkness is meaningless to the owner of the artifact, even the deepest midnight, in Edward's eyes, is no different from a sunny afternoon,

Now, he has long lost the red light of the day's cocktail party, just shrunk and then on horseback, as if he was shaking incessantly, and the few words he said were also covered up by the uproar around him!

Aristocrat.

These guys with power, wealth, and even the army are naturally the most selfish group, although they should bear the responsibility of maintaining the royal family and the people, but ...... After all, there are still a few people who can be proud of this, even if a city and a place do not have a lot to do with them, if they can take back the city, then he is still a lord, and even if they can't, relying on the money they have gathered, they can live a life with a head and a face in any country on the mainland.

"Even if he wants to escape, he just needs to escape, why should he destroy the defense circle? This guy, does he want to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason!" a noble knight couldn't help but shout - as if he was about to live and die with the city.

But at this time, no one pursued this, and everyone gathered forward in resentment, noisily surrounding the dozen knights and the city lord.

"He's going to use teleportation spells to escape!" On the other side, the mage apprentice was the first to guess the other party's original intention: "The city's magic defense circle is in conflict with the teleportation circle, the older it is, the more it cannot operate at the same time, even a city like Romante, when the two work at the same time, it also needs a certain number of mages to guide, neutralize, and adjust the work, even if it is only teleported once, it also needs multiple high-level mages...... And's teleportation circle has a certain history, taking the form of a five-mangkaran sarraelan, and every time a precise teleportation, if the defensive circle is not opened, it needs at least all six ring spell slots of three high-level mages, or nine five-ring spell slots...... And so on, for each reduction in the number of rings, the spell energy will be three times the number of spell slots of the original number......"

"Getting to the point!"

"In other words, if you want to leave through the teleportation array, you need at least fifteen mages to infuse energy!"

Now, as long as you are smarter, you will naturally understand what the other party means.

Fifteen mages, in normal times, Heyman City may still be equipped, but at this time, the original city was originally equipped with thirty mages, one high-level mage has been taken away, and the remaining ones have been used everywhere, and the mages brought by the female general must not obey the command of this city lord...... Not long after the fierce battle in the afternoon, their spell slots also had considerable losses, and it was estimated that they would definitely not be able to gather such energy to teleport.

In fact, even if they could, as long as they were not idiots, they would not be able to exchange their precious self-preservation power for the life of a nobleman who was useless and might even be punished for the destruction of the city.

Therefore, if you want to escape, the only way to escape is to destroy the teleportation circle, so that as long as there is only one official mage, it is enough to take a dozen people! (To be continued......)
