It was dawn, but the sun did not come out, and the gray clouds and mist covered the entire Fault Mountain, the entire Savincro Fortress, making people feel no trace of life.

They were defeated, and a raging wave of orcs took over the castle, but also at a considerable cost. The Severcro knights who fought their way through the gates turned a small area of land under the gates into meat grinders, never allowing the orcs to break into the castle from here. It's a pity that the difference in numbers is absolute, and Severcro, who was unable to react in time and organize an effective resistance, still fell.

A well-fortified castle can withstand tens of thousands of troops. But a castle with empty defenses is often a stone coffin for burial - because of the lack of troops, Savencro did not arrange defensive troops on the outer city wall, so that the enemy could easily attack it, the original moat and arrow tower have all become decorations, for the orcs with night vision, the moat is just a slightly wider ditch, which cannot stop their soldiers at all, especially when no one patrols.

Despite their willpower to defend their homeland, after Jim's death, the soldiers inevitably broke up and lost their morale, fleeing towards the innermost inner fort. On the battlefield, once one side shines its back to the enemy, it is the beginning of the massacre. The explosive orc warriors did not give these soldiers time to retreat at all, and began to pursue, massacring the lone soldiers in the castle, and those warriors who woke up after escaping also found it difficult to form an effective defense and formation, and the result was still the same.

The tribes, driven out by Ashina's army, were desperate to get new land. They are different from the big tribes that have been slightly "civilized", these orcs have no class concept, humans are the most hode food and plunder objects in their eyes, they don't even understand what "slaves" are, and the sack of Severcro is even more complete than the former imperial capital of Issos!

Perhaps they could have understood a little bit of the benefits of driving humans to work in the past, but after being raided by Ashina and Amini, these creatures are eager to vent their resentment to the fullest - the so-called "bravery" of the beasts is also like this, they always bully the weak and fear the hard, bark at the objects they dare not resist, and then ravage those who are weaker than themselves.

Disgusting, horrible, filthy, rotten. The inside of the fortress in Severcro is now such a sight. Layers of corpses covered the black-brown mud floor, stretching from the gate to the steps of the inner fort, the viscous blood, mixed with the dirt, stained the ground a dark red enough to soak the ankles and flood a few low-lying places under the city walls, and pieces of flesh were scattered everywhere, and from time to time several severed limbs would float out of a "red stream", and it was obvious from the wounds that they had been pulled out by some kind of liliang.

The orc warriors, who had been fighting all night, were now "leisurely" carrying a few heads, wandering around the castle with the orc children of the tribe, laughing and picking up some fallen intestines and internal organs -- like a naughty boy picking up shells on the beach, brilliant and innocent.

Vultures and crows flying in the sky also became one of the guests of this "feast of flesh and blood", hissing and circling, carefully selecting delicious "meals", snatching out their intestines from the stinking corpses and picking out their eyeballs, milky maggots and black flies also compete here for rare food.

At the top of the gates of the city wall, the heads of Jim Best and all the knights were carefully selected by these orc warriors, cut off and inserted into the heads of heavy spears, and placed here in a row. Or angry, or unwilling. But none of them can say it anymore.

In the past, the old people always said that on the Fault Mountain behind Severcro, the active volcano was the entrance to the abyss. If the people who once laughed at them saw this scene, they knew that what the old people said was true.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"It wasn't a pleasant morning, at least not in the weather. El Knight complained about the gloomy sky overhead, snatched the flag with the coat of arms of the Best family from the hands of the squire behind him, and shouted in the air, "Speed up a little bit, how long will it be before we get back to Severcro?!"

"Oh――――――, long live the Severcrowe—!!" the soldiers and knights shouted in response to the revered Severcro Knight Commander.

After nearly two months, Al and his army finally escorted more than 20,000 refugees safely to the north, and sent requests to Rome, Mithmeier, and Salion to take over. For such a labor force that is almost for nothing (although there are also old and weak, but the fact that they can escape from the south shows that there are not many such people), Theodore and Salald are very active, especially Aaron, Mistermai's ice field has a large area of land that is not cultivated, and now it can finally be used.

Of course, the road to escort is not all smooth sailing. The scramble for food, and the kind of hysterical madness, also happens nine times out of ten--every man has a beast in his heart, and when they have no scruples, he will let it out—it is not true at all, but the Knight Commander El, who has always been quick in his work, is also resolute in this regard, and there is no mercy.

But for these refugees, to be honest, the knight lord didn't care very much - he was more concerned about whether the lord of Best, his former "nephew", whom he was loyal to, was still sitting in that hall, and whether Best's banner was still planted at the head of the city of Severcro.

Although Al has sincerely admitted Jim's identity and believes that he will be a good lord, it does not mean that he also believes in Jim's military ability - how could a man who has never even held a sword understand what war is all about? Not to mention that this Lord Best has never fought at all!

"Are you still worried about our little young master?" the squire behind him rode to Al's side and looked at him with a smile: "The walls of Sevenclo are impregnable! Even if there is an enemy attack, the young master will at least be able to resist us going back, and then he will be able to stab the spear into the heads of those bastards and see what kind of shit they are made of!"

"He's not a little master, and you've sworn to him. He is your lord and gives you glory and the right to bear the sword. Al frowned, but sighed again, "But you're right, I'm worried—though there's nothing to worry about. ”

"Haven't the Rangers sent out have come back yet?" Al suddenly remembered and asked to the side, "They've been gone for quite a long time, and it's long overdue to come back to their lives!"

"I think they've arrived at the castle and are feasting and drinking in the kitchen. The attendant waved his hand: "This journey has really tired the brothers." ”

"Look, someone is back!" The sharp-eyed attendant pointed to the small black dot in the distance, and said with an unsurprising expression: "And there is only one person, and sure enough, this group of lazy people!"

Al narrowed his eyes, took off his obstructive helmet, and craned his neck to look ahead—a knight with the banner of the Best family was galloping desperately towards here!

After a long while, Al saw clearly that the knight's body was covered with blood, and even the original white war horse was already red and white, as if he had just finished a vicious battle.

"Lord El, the fortress of Severcro has been captured by the orcs, and the number will not be less than ten thousand!

"The heads of Master Jim Best, and all the knights of the castle, have been hung on the top of the walls by the orcs, and Severcro has been reduced to ruins!!"

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

"Are you awake?" the attendant who was guarding outside the tent cautiously asked the military doctor who had just come out of it, and he didn't even dare to come out at all.

After learning the news that "Jim is dead", Al really couldn't withstand this shocking blow, and screamed and fainted on the spot. The army had to stop. This stop is in the evening.

"I've woken up. The doctor nodded helplessly, and then stopped the attendant who wanted to enter: "However, I think it's better to let him rest for now, and don't wake up for the time being." ”

"What's going on?!" the attendant hurriedly asked, "Is it a very serious injury?

"Neither. The doctor shook his head, then used a very ...... In a not very embarrassed tone, he said: "El Knight Chief, I want to take everyone to Severcro to avenge Lord Best!"

"To be honest, it's not that I can't understand his thoughts, but understanding doesn't mean agreeing! How many of us are there? Can we get revenge if we go to Severcrowe? The doctor also seemed a little embarrassed and turned his head to the side: "If there is any hope of victory, I am not willing to stop it." But I don't want to see these living brothers turn into dead bodies!"

"Then what do you say?!" the attendant grabbed the doctor's collar with a hideous face, and roared angrily: "Lord Best's head is still hanging on the city wall, and our family is dead, do you want us to turn a blind eye?!"

"We want revenge, but it can't just us. The doctor looked at him: "We need to find more Liliang and find more lords' armies in order to avenge Lord Best and our family!"

"Then who do you think can do it?, who can find more lords to support us in our revenge?!" the squire roared, "You say!!"

"In the whole of the North, there is only one adult who can do it. The doctor paused, then read softly

"Blood of Pendragon!"

The third volume of "Covering the Sky and the Dark Curtain" is over.

(As I typed these words, a sense of regret and excitement came over me at the same time.) I'm excited that I've fulfilled my promise to never default and keep it updated, and although I haven't been able to add more, I haven't said that I can't do it.

It's a pity that the three thousand collection into the VIP thing still failed, and this book is still a typical example of falling down the street and dying, it seems that I can only think about it in the future - empty little sadness~)
