"Destroy everything! Anything that can't be taken away is incinerate!"

"Plug all the water sources! Fill the drain into the well!"

"Burn down all the houses! Warehouses! Smash the load-bearing pillars of the inner fort!"

"Don't leave anything for the enemy!"

..................

Will stood in the crowd, shouting loudly this zuihou an order, his face was calm, he didn't even see any panic or reluctance, as usual, he carried out his duty: "Everything that can be destroyed! Execute your orders! Long live the Empire!"

"Long Live the Empire - !!!"

The warriors were equally expressionless, shouting the slogan they had held on for for an unknown amount of time, and walking up and down the castle with torches and swords.

The sun shines on the castle of Tulga, steaming, angry tongues of fire and heat waves are constantly spewing, and the thick smoke shrouded in black clouds makes it difficult to see inside.

As a castle on a plain site, Tulga is mostly made of wood, with mud brick walls, except for the walls and inner forts. Once it gets on the ground, it will soon burn, not to mention the deliberate arson now, as if the entire castle has been caught in flames.

"Two years, that's a long time............"

On the stairs of the inner castle, Terenus, Raymond, and Landzel sat together, the door behind them had been smashed, the hall was full of firewood and grass, and the clean and thick oak tables had long been split into firewood and neatly piled up in the doorway.

"It's only been two years, and I've been in this place for ten years!" Raymond smiled disdainfully, taking a flask from his calf and pouring it into his mouth wantonly.

"I'm more reluctant than you!"

"I'll lead the knights north, to the north!" said Terenus, looking at the garrison sincerely, "Do you want to go together?"

"I, no, no, no, I can't bear to be here, this castle is my life, and my brothers. Raymond smiled and pointed to the soldiers next to him: "Haven't you noticed that all the soldiers who stayed behind have served for at least five years!

"Besides, I don't know how to ride a horse, so I'm only dragging you down. Raymond tilted his lips and shrugged his shoulders regretfully.

Landzel didn't say anything, just patted him on the back: "Radiant Cross bless!"

"Radiant Cross bless!" Raymond nodded, continuing to drink his wine.

"Perhaps...... I should be the same as you. Landzel said, "Perhaps, it's been too long!"

"Then I'll stay!" Terenus glanced at him, "If you want to break through, someone must attract the enemy's attention, I can break through the enemy's defenses for you, and then you just have to keep going north!"

"Cross the Vistula and it will be impossible for the orcs to catch up. ”

"You can't, my old fellow, you're the flag bearer, the pillar of the knights!" Landzel shook his head, "Only you can lead them through the storm, and only you know how to keep these young warriors!"

"Leave the raid to me, and you are responsible for leading them in their retreat. Landzel stood up and walked to the bottom of the steps: "This is the order! I am the chief knight, this is my task!"

"It's your job to protect them, Terenus Norhan!"

After saying that, Landzel walked out without looking back, carrying a banner of the Knights of the Dawn!

"Knights - Assemble !!!"

Landzel, the majestic lion stands under the city walls. Almost at the same time as he gave the order, the knights, who had been busy, suddenly stopped, threw down their tools and ran back, and took the initiative to stand in front of Landzel in a phalanx, and arranged a formation very tacitly - according to the length of service, the old knights were on the right, the front of the outstanding military achievements, and the servants were behind the knights.

This formation is also the most commonly used formation by knights - the charging formation.

Landzel looked at them unceremoniously, nodded, and stood in the middle.

"I'm sure you already know that we're about to evacuate from here! It's a pity, and I know how unwilling you proud and arrogant people are! But alas, we're knights, just mortals, not saviors!

"And now, the enemy has surrounded us on all sides! It's almost impossible to surprise us. So someone has to be in charge of attracting the enemy's attention and leaving enough time for the others! It's a mortal mission! So............ I'm sure none of you will refuse it! because we're knights! Knights -- not afraid!"

"Ha-!!!-!!!-Ha-!!!"

A neat roar, declaring their oath and determination!

"All those who have served for more than twelve years, stand up!"

"Boom, boom, boom!" The sound of neat footsteps, silent as a gray sword, more than a third of the Knights of Dawn stepped out of the ranks, lined up in front of Landzel.

"Marcia?"

Landzel looked curiously at the Knight of Dawn in front of him, and stood in front of him with steps: "Report your service time, Knight Marcia!"

"Eleven years, eleven months, and twenty-eight days!" said Marcia without thinking, with his head held high. After seeing the suspicious gaze of the chief steward, he whispered, "...... Count ...... Remy's!"

"You promised me, Lord Landzel, maybe you forgot but I remember. Marcia suddenly grinned a little mischievously: "You promised me to die like a knight!"

"I haven't forgotten, die like a knight, Knight Marcia!" Landzel patted him on the shoulder, "And, take Remy's share!"

"Yes!" Marcia straightened up, his left hand behind his back, and his right fist hammered into his chest with a muffled sound.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Open the door-!!!!"

With the roar of Landzel, the drag of cold iron cables piercing through the sides of the gates, and the sound of jagged spinning, the heavy gates were opened, opening the way to hell for the knights.

"Knights—the people of Pande—!" roared Landzel, and his horse rushed to the front of the knights' ranks, his banner held aloft and his eyes were attentive.

"We have broken our oath! Our people have been enslaved by savage orcs! Ravaged and insulted! Our country has lost its hands! Our Emperor, the Emperor to whom we have sworn allegiance, fought to the death against the enemy! What could be more painful than this! Glory, stained with a rift that can never be erased!"

"Show your courage! in this zuihou moment!" Landzel smiled: "Let's owe allegiance to the Emperor! Let the flames of hell judge our souls, so that our children and grandchildren will not be spurned!"

"Knights of the Dawn--" The knight raised his spear and led the knights out of the city wall.

"Bloody battle to the end-!!!!"

"Bloody battle to the end――――――――――!!!!!!!!!!"

The world in front of him seemed to fill the entire field of vision, and the wanton roar was accompanied by a heavy vibration, and countless orc armies were on the opposite side.

The knights rode proudly on their beloved horses, their bright spears pointed straight to the sky, and they lined up under the city walls without hurrying or slow, and the queue neatly showed the unparalleled tacit understanding between them, and they moved in unison, putting their guns in front of them, bowing their heads slightly, and praying sincerely.

Landzel looked coldly at the orc army opposite, his disdainful gaze scanning the brutal rabble, and only waved his right hand slightly.

"Charge--!!!"

"Woo――――――――――――!!!!!"

The long trumpet sounded, and the eyes of the knights burst into a cold cold, and without the slightest hesitation, they launched a charge, rushing towards the enemy with no end in sight!

The thin one-word array, the rapid charging horn, there was no retreat and worry, the knights charged forward, the neat formation seemed to be a sharp sword, and the liliang with all their bodies danced this peerless sword!

Excalibur of Dawn!!!

The dazzling sunlight showed them ahead, the high cavalry spears had long been raised, the enemy was in sight, and the brothers around them fell on the road one after another, no screams, no exclamations, the dawn knights only remembered the mission in their hearts, and the defiled glory!

They will wash away the stain with blood, with their own blood, with the blood of orcs!

"Bloody battle to the end――――――――――!!!!!!!!"

"Roar ――――――――!!!!!!"

Like a wind sweeping away leaves, this sharp sword swept into the orc's military formation, blood spilled, and people turned on their backs! Gaps were knocked open, and knights rushed into the orcs, ignoring the enemies around them, they charged!

Their goal is not here yet!!!

"Crawler!

Kosai roared, wielding his axe and hammer - it had seen that the enemy was going to charge!

They actually want to kill themselves?!

"Kill them -- kill them -- leave no one behind -- !!!!"

"Roar---!!!!"

More orc warriors, led by Kosai, rushed towards the knights. These brave warriors had no room to charge anymore, and they were mired in the mire of the enemy, their horses screaming from their crotch, their sturdy shields cracking, and their sharp swords striking back and forth with their enemies!

"Knights of the Dawn - Bloody Fight to the End" - !!!"

Landzel smiled proudly, the silver-white sword swayed with stumps and severed arms, the strong lion bared its teeth, and every step was billowing blood!

"Knights of the Dawn - Bloody Fight to the End" - !!!"

"Bloody battle to the end――――――――――――――!!!!!!!!!"

―――――― second cirrus of clouds in all directions, end.
