PS. This book will be on the shelves on the 1st next month. I beg you guys, I will be screaming.

Valdemar looked surprised. He subconsciously reached out and touched the long sword at his waist, but only then remembered that before entering the door, the long sword had been handed over to the guards. The kingdom knight immediately rushed to Albert and wanted to take it. He is a hostage.

The result made him desperate. In his impression of average swordsmanship, Albert, who was rarely on the battlefield, dodged and avoided with extremely fast reaction speed, and then slashed with a sword on Valdemar’s thigh. The kingdom knight suffered a wound to his leg. The ground was then firmly pressed to the ground by two guards.

"How did you... how did you find out?" Valdemar knew that the situation was gone. He was pressed to the floor by two guards, and then more guards rushed in, tied him up, and then held him with a halberd. neck.

"Obviously, my knight betrayed me." Albert's face was red, and the veins on his head soared to make the forty-something earl look very vicious: "He has dedicated the people of this city to The barbarians in the north are **** sacrifices of the barbarians, am I right?"

The guards looked at the kingdom knight incredulously, and the captain of the guard Emil walked to Albert's side and whispered: "Earl?"

"This traitor and the barbarians should meet inside and outside! He has already taken refuge in the barbarian army outside the city. He has dedicated my city and my people to Birrig, and he will become this city as a knight of the kingdom of Miloddenhaven. The only noble among them who resisted to the end, he persisted until the arrival of the imperial reinforcements, so the king must reward him." Albert walked to Valdemar's side and whispered in his ear: "The best The result is that the great bamboo knight Valdemar, the hero of Mijoldenhaven, will take over the title of the late Earl Albert Baker and become the new lord of the city. Am I right? If I You guessed it right, you guys are all arranged on that passenger ship, right?"

Waldemar's face was blue and white, and the knight of the kingdom simply said nothing.

"Don't speak? Emil?" Albert gave his captain of the guard a look. The captain of the guard with a scar on his face rushed up and punched Valdemar's beautiful face, making him beautiful. His face was cracked.

"You don't know me from start to finish, my knight!" Albert Baker put the long sword into the scabbard, and said with hatred: "Do you think I can't see that all of this is yours? The whole city? Up and down, there are no more than ten people who know the Dongchengmen gunpowder storage site, and you are responsible for the defense of the Dongchengmen. Only you! Can find the loopholes in the patrol and send someone to detonate the gunpowder!"

"And you came too fast. It's too abnormal. I understand you. You can never be on duty at this time. You should sleep with a prostitute (harmony) in a bar opened by a halfling!" Albert kicked Kicked in the face of Valdemar, the kingdom knight shed two nosebleeds.

"So what?" The earl's answer was a crazy voice: "Albert, do you think you can hold this city? With the tattered gates? With the mobs you temporarily conscripted? "

"Wake up! You stupid donkey! Everyone is going to die! The whole city will be reduced to ashes in the axe and torch of the barbarians!" Valdemar yelled frantically, "The more you resist, the more you will die. The worse it will be, the end of the day will come, and everything will be destroyed. Only knowing how to bow and obey is the only way to survive! I am for the sake of the people of this city! Birrig promised me that if I surrender, he will only kill this Half of the people in this town! Only half! How many people can I save? This is the right choice, you don’t understand!"

"...You are crazy." Albert was too lazy to argue with this man, he motioned to his captain of the guard to drag Valdemar out: "From today, the kingdom knight Valdemar will be removed from this world, you His family history will be erased, your family will be reduced to slaves, and you... will be corpses in the wild, and you will never be able to rest!"

"No! You can't do this to me! No! I have done something for Nord! I bleed for the old count! I want to see His Majesty the King! I want to see His Majesty the King!!!" Valdemar was dragged out by the guards , The captain of the guard Emil stepped forward and asked: "Count, what should I do with this traitor?"

"Behead, execute immediately!"

"Yes!" The captain of the guard hurriedly left.

Albert turned around and took a deep breath, then turned his gaze to the entire set of plate armor placed in his room, and said sentimentally to himself: "So, the war is coming after all."

"Valdemar has never figured out how my hereditary grand count inherited." Looking at the armor passed down from his ancestors, Albert said with his head down. Listen to the portrait in the bedroom.

The portrait reads the name of his ancestor: Earl Milloden Haven "Old Stubborn" Baker I.

"In the great holy war one hundred and fifty years ago, the evil army pressed the land, Nord led the elect, and the king of the north, Steid VIII, chose to bow down to the second Eternal Chaos Chosen, the Anointed One, Essaku. Val surrendered. At that time, Nord fell almost entirely, and only three earls refused to surrender. They fought to the last moment. In the end, chaos was repelled under the wise leadership of His Majesty Ludwig."

"In order to reward these three earls and their descendants who fought to the last minute, even if the Nord Kingdom replaced the Electorate of Nord, the titles of these three earls were not replaced by the Lordship of Nord, Ludwig His Majesty Xi canonized our three earls with the supreme glory of hereditary irreplaceability!"

"This territory was exchanged by the ancestors with blood and life! If I choose to surrender, what face do I have to see the ancestors buried in Moore Cemetery??!!!"

The captain of the guard soon came in with an iron plate, which covered Valdemar's head with a red cloth: "Earl!"

The earl closed his eyes.

"Now, there is only a **** battle to the end!"

"However, Valdemar's suggestion is not without merit, Emil, send my family to the passenger ship. If something happens to me, please ensure their safety!"

"Yes!"

In the afternoon of the next day, when Ryan led the Nord army back to Milloden Haven, he saw the collapsed city gate, the heavily damaged moat, and the desperate and anxious civilians.

The joy of successfully intercepting the barbarians has also disappeared.

Before the army entered the city gate, Ryan and others were stopped by the guards sent by the lord: "Mr. Ryan! Mr. Nikolay! Lord Earl has an emergency military situation!"

[Biquge www.sbiquge.xyz] Twenty minutes later, Albert's Earl's Castle.

Albert was fully armed and the three-leaf family crest was shining. His guards stood in two rows in the large room. Seeing Ryan and Niclay walk into the room, the forty-something earl nodded: "How is the battle?"

"We have successfully blown up the Aarhus Bridge. This should at least delay Birrig's forces until dark." Ryan and Nikolay hurriedly approached, and they learned about Wald from Albert's mouth. Mar’s matter: "Then if Biriege moves the fastest, he will be at Karzenhaven at noon tomorrow."

"My scout told me that the imperial reinforcements would not arrive until noon the day after tomorrow at the soonest." Alber pointed his head, and then the earl turned to look at his kingdom knight.

The one who suffered the most from this incident was Nikolay. He really couldn't believe that Valdemar, who was also a knight, would actually do such a thing.

"Betrayed the leader! Betrayed the country! Betrayed our compatriots! God, what the **** did Valdemar do? Is he sick?" Nikolay was very sad, and he didn't care about his superior standing by him. In front of him, the Walnut Knight casually found a place to sit down and touched his face with his hand: "I...I really...don't know what to say."

At the end of the talk, Nikolay's voice choked.

"This is not the time for you to be sad and painful, my friend, our top priority is to decide what to do next? Is it going to go out of the city? Or stick to it and fight in the street? Tell me, White Wolf Knight, if it were you, what would you do? "A pain flashed across Albert's face, and the earl walked to his long table and took out a bottle of wine: "Gentlemen, would you like a glass? This is Winford’s fine wine'Lüsalus'. I am worried that if I don’t drink it now, I won’t have a chance to drink it in the future."

"Of course! A glass is always good." Ryan closed his eyes helplessly, and the White Wolf Knight understood what the fairy in the lake predicted.

He and Birrig had a battle in the end.

Once he felt that his plan was okay, but the reality gave him a slap, and now he is in a dilemma and can be described as a true portrayal of the White Wolf Knight.

"No, I don't need it." Nikolay still couldn't get out of the betrayal of his colleague and friend. He slumped down in the back chair: "Can you give me a few minutes to be quiet?"

"Then let's start!" Albert shrugged, the blond earl's eyes were slightly black, but the whole person was in good spirits. He took out two tall glasses from his cabinet and cork the wine. Unplug.

The sweet wine is different from the normal Weinford wine, its grape fruit aroma is very weak, and it is replaced by a strange sweet aroma.

Ryan took the wine glass from Albert's hand and lifted it up and shook it on the tip of his nose: "Rich, plump, long-lasting, delicate and soft, let me think about it, honey, dried apricots, lemon... and peaches. ?"

"Unexpectedly,'Sledgehammer' Ryan is also a person who knows about alcohol? I thought you were the same as your father Norman. The favorite is Kislov spirits. Drink it into a monkey butt, and then fall to the ground like a brown bear before it disappears." Albert suddenly smiled when Ryan saw the goods.

So at this moment when the soldiers were approaching the city, the White Wolf Knight and the Lord Earl were standing on the balcony of the room with a glass of sweet wine, overlooking the entire city.

In the shadow of the white snow, the largest and most prosperous port city in Nord did not cause chaos due to the war and the influx of refugees. Under the rapid response and command of the earl, the remaining defenders quickly took control of the situation. The Church of Justice The paladins and pastors of the Church of Life and Life were also dispatched collectively, and the situation was quickly brought under control.

However, the fear persisted between them, and crowds of people lay in the open air on the street. In particular, a large number of civilians and refugees near the east city gate migrated towards the city, crowded with people, and many people silted under the castle of the earl in the city. It seems that the last fortress in the city can give them a sense of security.

The earl’s balcony has been specially designed so that the people below cannot see it.

"Winford... is really a rich place. The wine there is famous all over the country, and the scenery there is said to overshadow heaven." Tasting the wine in his mouth, Ryan could feel the sweet aroma in his throat and trachea.

"But I still love my land, my people." The earl held up the wine glass in his hand and motioned to Ryan to look at his city: "In my eyes, there is no more beautiful place than Mijolden Haven, you see, Those houses, the park, were built after I inherited this position."

"I adjusted the tax rate of the city carefully. I hope that any guy who wants to do something well can get enough opportunities in my city. I hope my wharf can be as prosperous as Marienburg."

"Salute to you, Lord Earl." Ryan held up his glass: "Let us toast to the prosperity of Mijordenhaven."

"Hahaha~ Cheers!" Albert laughed, the glasses collided and the hops splashed, and then the Earl and the White Wolf Knight drank the wine in the glasses.

For the celestial people, it may be difficult for them to understand the importance that the nobles of the Middle Ages paid to defending their territories and their citizens. Many nobles would fight to the death to defend their territories without any benefit. There will be the idea of ​​withdrawing first if you can't beat them, leaving behind the green hills, not afraid of not having firewood.

But the nobles in this world are like this. Territory is their foundation, a symbol of their glory and status. Giving up their territory is equal to giving up everything, not only losing their reputation, they will also lose their titles and kings. Support, money will always be spent, and their ending is absolutely tragic.

Look at the nobles in the old empire who gave up their territories to flee because of the chaotic invasion. Even the serfs could insult and laugh at them at will.

After drinking the wine, Albert set his sights on his city and laughed: "Unfortunately, this scene will probably never be seen again. My city will be reduced to ashes, and my leaders will die. Under the barbarian's butcher knife, and I will shed the last drop of blood and tell me the White Wolf Knight, will you follow me to fight to the death for this city? Just for that line of life?"

Ryan did not answer.

The White Wolf Knight deeply understands that if he agrees, it means that he must stay and fight the barbarians. As a member of the Kingdom Knights and the White Wolf Knights, Ryan has the right to refuse this invitation because he is not that. A vassal of Earl Albert.

The vassal of my vassal is not my vassal. The war here has nothing to do with Ryan. He has reason to refuse to fight and leave by boat.

But... there are only two legendary powerhouses in this city, that is, he and Teresa. If he chooses to leave, the Sorceress has no reason to stay here.

If there is no legendary powerhouse against Birieg, the fall of this city is only a matter of time. Ryan is too aware of the role of a legendary powerhouse in the war. The defenders of Mjordenhaven themselves are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. After losing the protection of the city wall, defeat is their only end.

Then, the entire city will be reduced to ashes. The barbarians will completely destroy the bright jewel on the west coast of Nord before the arrival of the imperial army, and then retreat. Even if the imperial army from afar can completely destroy them, it will not help, because the city and the leader Min will never come back again.

He remembered the prophecy of the fairy in the lake again: You and Birieg will have a battle at the end, and by that time, you will understand what the true virtues of knights are.

The real...virtue?

Seeing Ryan's silence, Albert's eyes flashed disappointment, and he did not reluctantly: "It's okay, I can arrange for a boat to take you away from Mjorden Haven..."

"Get out of the city and face the enemy head-on."

"what?"

"I said to gather all the troops and face the enemy head-on at the gate of the city." Ryan's gaze became more and more determined. There seemed to be something missing on his body, and there seemed to be something more: "Only a champion showdown can save this city. Save this defeat."

In the void, upon hearing Ryan's suggestion, a beautiful figure nodded approvingly, and the dazzling blond hair flashed with a moving luster.
