"How long are we going to stay in this kind of place?"

A Blood Wolf Knight kicked the wall with all his might, and the iron sheet wrapped around the front of his boot sparked a few sparks on the wall, shining in the shadows behind the wall at the moment when the sun was half gone. Beside him, one of his companions sighed, "Stop complaining, Eric. Who here doesn't want to go back, we have to protect such a kid, it's really an insult to the reputation of the knight. But so what, this is the order of the Earl of Rykerd. ”

"Maybe it's just that Lanza's order." The knight known as Eric slapped his hand on the wall hatefully: "He has made us do enough shameful things, not to mention the kidnapping of the former earl's sister not long ago." Let's just say that the day before yesterday, we were asked to go to the village to rob women, what is the difference between this and robbers? ”

"So for now, be patient. Didn't I hear that Lord Glenn brought an army over, and I think the matter here will be settled soon, right? The knight laughed, "In this case, you can return to Dorne soon." It's been a long time since I've seen those kids at home. ”

"Me too, I don't know how Alyssa is now." Eric sighed, and suddenly the corner of his eye was stung by the light. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it, and through his fingers, his eyes fell on the main road in front of the White Castle, and at the other end of the road, a group of men and horses were driving in the direction of the castle. It was the armor on the opposing warrior's body that pierced his eyes reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun.

"What's going on?" The companions next to him also noticed the strangeness and rushed to the head of the city.

From their vantage point, they had enough views of the street below. The group consisted of a hundred or so men, with about twenty knights running in front and warriors on foot behind. Both knights and infantry were armoured with white iron armor soaked with silver. On the chest of these armors, there is a pattern of a cross. The banner erected by the infantry in the rear is the sword cross pattern of the "crusaders" of the Church armed forces.

"Is it the church?" Eric nervously said, "Go and inform Mr. Lanza, we're in trouble." ”

After the companions left, Eric gathered the remaining few Blood Wolf Knights. As for the soldiers, these boys from the Giles family can only make up the number of people, and usually scare and scare the civilians. If you really want to fight, these people can't be relied on at all. At this moment they were also mobilized to the castle's wall and set a fire. The gun's hand was shaking.

The White Castle is not a military castle, although it was built on the scale of the castle by its ancestors. Although the White Fort also had defensive facilities such as guards, battlements, watchtowers, and gates, everything was greatly reduced. After all, if the castle is built too strictly, it is not conducive to the image of the people created by the knights of the past dynasties. But now, from Eric's point of view, the castle provided them with limited defenses was tight, and it was better than the courtyard.

He looked around him, less than ten blood wolf knights, and twenty or so pale soldiers. Once the other party does attack, Eric can already foresee that outcome.

The crusaders stopped at a distance of a hundred or ten meters from the castle, and the avenue led straight to the castle gates, which was far enough for the other to charge. Eric stepped forward and yelled, "What are you doing here! This is the White Castle, the castle of the honorable Earl of Gilles. I ask you to retreat at once! ”

The crusaders were suddenly separated from each other, and both the knights and the infantry moved in unison, and Eric's heart sank. There is no doubt that this army is well trained, and although it is small in number, its combat effectiveness cannot be ignored. From the separated stream, Vera and Father Miró walked forward. When Vera stopped, the priest took a step forward before he said to the castle, "In view of the filthy reputation of the Earl of Gilles, and his cruel atrocities. Such a person has already lost the virtues of a lord, and people want to embrace a new lord. As for Lord Giles, we hope that he will abdicate automatically. So at this moment, please open the gates. ”

"Joke, can the Church be a substitute for the authority of the Empire? Lord Giles' title was conferred by the Empire, and what power does the Church have to remove it! Eric said loudly.

Father Miro smiled slightly and said, "Of course, the church cannot replace the empire to remove Lord Giles's title, as I said earlier, the church only speaks the hearts of the people. And even if it is an empire, I think the respected emperor will listen to the will of the people, right? ”

Vera raised her hand and gestured, and the soldiers behind sent a red firework to the sky.

Then fireworks rose from all corners of Ark Harbor in response, and Eric watched the fireworks all over the city, his heart beating faster. He knew something was going to happen, and sure enough, it wasn't long before the sound of footsteps came from all directions. Eric looked down at the streets that connected the castle, and the black crowd was pouring in like a tide. They are orderly, but they exude a suffocating momentum.

I don't know who took the lead, but I heard a neat shout begin to sound under the city: "The lord has no virtue, abdicate and give way!" ”

The waves rose higher and higher, and Eric on the city wall felt as if he was in a sea of sounds, and slogans were heard in all directions. At this time, not to mention those soldiers, even the blood wolf knight panicked. It's hard to do anything like this in other cities, but now that the army of Ark Harbor is in the hands of Jora, Gilles has no troops at all, so there is no way to suppress it.

Outside knights like Eric alone, and the twenty or so young people of the family who had never even killed anyone, could not disperse the gathering of 10,000 people in the city. Seeing so many people, Eric began to worry if the oak gate of the castle covered with copper skin would be too thin.

An orange firework rose into the air, and the sun was gone, and night was falling. Therefore, if you look at the night sky, you can clearly see the exploding flames. When this flame was seen, everyone fell silent, and it was terrifyingly neat. Then Father Miro's voice rang out again: "Men of the city, you must have heard the voices of the people. Even the emperor knows that the will of the people cannot be violated, so knights, please open the gates. ”

Eric gritted his teeth and yelled, "Can't do it! ”

Father Miró smiled helplessly and glanced behind him. Willik, who was in his armor, immediately broke away from the ranks of the Crusaders and galloped down the avenue, with a clear goal.

"Attack! Attack! Eric shouted.

But there was no movement behind him, he looked back, the soldiers on both sides of the city wall, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to shoot. The knight cursed angrily and snatched a fire. The gun was pointed at Verrick. As soon as his finger hit the trigger, his pupils shrank. It was in the midst of the crusaders that a squad of soldiers rolled out two Thor's cannons, the muzzles of which were aimed at the city walls. There is no doubt that as long as he dares to shoot, he will be shelled immediately!
