Fighting has never been closer to the city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In previous years, Grace's raids were limited to the surrounding villages and towns, but this year, they went directly to the king's capital.

All of a sudden, the despair of annihilation hung over Silas, and the atmosphere in the crowded streets crowded with refugees was very depressing, and everyone's faces were gloomy, like powder kegs that were about to explode.

The streets were already crowded with refugees, most of them women and children, young and middle-aged who had been forcibly drafted to fight in the city walls and in the outer cities.

A pious mother knelt on the ground and prayed to God: "...... My father died in the war last year, and this year my husband is on the battlefield again, and what about next year? Will even my children have to die on the battlefield? Gracious and great Father, why don't you send down messengers to save us? ”

The others next to her heard the mother's prayer and looked at her indifferently, then lowered their heads and crouched in the corner and continued to wait for despair to come.

"Can't win...... We can't win ......"

"Shut up! You idiot! Do you want to die!? ”

"I don't want to die, but we can't win......"

A woman who was already in despair cried and said, "The kingdom of Grace is so powerful, how can we win?" ”

A girl passing by was indignant when she heard this: "Why is it impossible! I've heard from the palace guards that Your Majesty has sent a messenger for help, and soon the Empire of Illus will come to our aid! ”

"Give up, how could the Empire of Illus come to our aid......"

"Yes! Definitely! If it's that Your Majesty! ”

The girl's eyes were full of hope, His Majesty Don of the Empire of Illus was such a merciful and powerful king, he would definitely come!

"Everybody must persevere! That His Majesty Don will come to our rescue! ”

"Impossible...... It's too far from Alink......"

"yes...... What's more, we are only a small principality, and strictly speaking, our country is still a traitor to the Ilrus Empire, how could His Majesty Don come to save us......"

"He'd love to see us all dead."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Beatrice was anxious: "His Majesty Don is very merciful! After his coronation, he has always cared for the people, never increased the tax burden, and constantly implemented some policies in favor of the common people, which shows that he must be a very far-sighted and aspiring emperor! And now we, the Duchy of Silas, have always wanted to return to the Empire of Illuth, if it was him, it would be him...... It will definitely ...... Will definitely come......"

As Beatrice spoke, tears welled up uncontrollably, she wiped her tears, bit her lip and said, "...... At least, I'm not going to give up! ”

She drew her slender sword from her waist and rushed out.

"Where are you going!?"

"I'm going to fight too! Even if it's death, I don't want to stay here and wait for death! Even if it were to die, I would kill a hateful Grace man—yaw! ”

The girl had just run two steps before she suddenly bumped into a person. The stock fell to the ground.

Beatrice subconsciously said: "-Yes, yes...... Hum! ”

When Beatrice raised her head and found that it was a young man, her face suddenly became very bad, she snorted coldly, stopped apologizing, and got up and patted her ass. The stock was going to continue running to the side of the city wall.

The man suddenly pressed Beatrice's head and asked in a low voice, "Little girl, with your little strength, you still want to fight?" ”

"So what?"

Beatrice bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes full of anger: "Everyone has gone to the battlefield to protect this country, but only you, only you mercenary merchants, can not go to the battlefield!" Why? Why should I, we have to protect you people with our lives!? ”

Beatrice saw that the man who was blocking her had white skin, no fireworks on his body, and Wenwen didn't look like a mercenary or a warrior, he was clearly a businessman, and she suddenly became angry.

A mercenary businessman?

The man was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, well, from a certain point of view, he is indeed a businessman, but the word mercenary does not match him......

"Get out of the way!"

Beatrice screamed, "Don't get in my way!" ”

The man sighed, snatched the slender sword from the girl's hand, and pushed her back, "At least, it's not too desperate to let you girls go to war......"

"Damn! You damn fellow! Give me back the sword! ”

The man glanced at the slender sword in his hand and shook his head: "This sword is okay for decoration, it is clearly a ceremonial sword, you plan to use this kind of sword to kill the enemy?" And then again...... Someone worthy of such a sword...... It shouldn't be here, right? ”

Beatrice's face changed slightly, and she snatched her long sword back by her neck: "You care so much about me!?" I'm going to fight too! I'm going to protect our home! ”

"The battlefield is not a place for you little girls......"

The man shook his head, and was about to persuade him to leave, when he saw several maids running in the distance, and when they saw Beatrice, they ran over in great surprise: "Male...... Beatrice, why did you run out at this time! Come back with us! It's too dangerous out there! ”

"Go back what go back! It's dangerous on the outside, but it's not dangerous on the inside!? When is this all gone! ”

Beatrice simply didn't hide it anymore, she pulled it casually, grabbed the headband that fixed her hair, and her blonde hair was scattered behind her back, she ripped off her linen robe, revealing a leather armor dress inside, the royal coat of arms of Silas on her chest was shining, she raised her long sword, and shouted: "I am Beatrice Cecil, the princess of the Principality of Syrah!" Now I swear that I will never betray my people, and I will live and die with Silas! Even if we drain every drop of blood of our Cecil family, we will fight to protect this country! Where there is no hope, we create hope! There is no chance of victory, we create chances! ”

"Reinforcements from the Illus Empire are coming! The more time we can delay, the better our hope of survival! ”

"Everyone, take action! Don't sit here and wait to die! ”

"Your husbands and children are fighting the front lines! Are we really just going to have to wait here to die!? ”

"If we don't have weapons, we'll make them ourselves!"

"Even if we don't go to the battlefield, we can play our part!"

"Who said that in war, women can only wait for death! We need to use our power to show the despicable Graces that they have angered us! ”

Beatrice tried her best to stir up the emotions of the refugees, and the refugees, who were originally very negative, were unconsciously infected by her, and their desperate eyes regained the light of hope.

"It's Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice!"

"Even Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice is going to fight, what qualifications do we have to wait here to die......"

"Yes! We may not be able to lift our weapons to fight, but we can also use them in the rear! ”

"Stand up! Stand up! If you want to survive, let's work together! ”

"Those demons come to bully us every year, can we just keep putting up with it?"

Seeing that everyone finally had the fighting spirit, Beatrice immediately became excited and shouted, "That's right! That's it! Maybe we can't win against them, but at least we can bite them hard before we die, and it's also our will to resist! ”

"Now, please gather quickly, notify the neighbors, count the number of people, and the number of vacant rooms!"

"In order to prevent the shooting of bows and arrows, immediately move the old man and children to the room, and do not waste the house with a cellar! Make sure there is no one on the street! ”

"In order to prevent the rocket from igniting the house, now notify the person to go down and immediately fetch water to wet the roof of the house!"

"Those who know how to weave will start weaving dummies now, and we will put them on the city wall, even if we can't kill the enemy, we can increase our momentum, and maybe we can trick some arrows to use!"

"Take action! Let's do it! ”

Under the command of Beatrice, those refugees who were numb and waiting for death really began to act, maybe they were very hungry at the moment, maybe they were very tired, but for the sake of their own lives and their children's lives, for the future of this country, these refugees still insisted on standing up and began to get busy.

At first, their cooperation was very rusty, but as they began to clarify the division of labor, their cooperation immediately became very smooth.

The man stood by and watched all this, and he looked at the girl who seemed to be sixteen or seventeen years old with great astonishment.

Talent!

Although this is a special time, it is very difficult to organize people to resist in such adversity, not to mention that she is just a pampered princess living in a castle.

"And you!"

After Beatrice had ordered everything, she glared at him angrily, pointed at him and scolded him viciously: "You are a man with hands and feet, if you don't want to die in this city, take up arms and go to the front line to fight!" ”

The man turned and walked in the direction of the castle.

Seeing this, Beatrice stomped her foot in annoyance: "What a waste coward!" Turning around, a faint smile appeared on the man's face.

This is Silas......

I didn't expect to find surprises in this city-state.

At least, this trip was not in vain, it was worth it.

That's right, this man is, of course, Donne.

After Aurelia received the letter asking for help, she began to arrange for support, and Don also sped up the matter at hand, and then rushed to Silas first.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived here, he met such a talent, saying that she was a princess who was delicate and soft and easy to push down?

This made Don feel a little ridiculous, and the princesses he met didn't seem to be serious.
