When the explosive bag with the burning fuse falls into the formation of the barbarian coalition, the enemy has soldiers to catch these things that look like cloth bags, and even some bold people want to take it apart to find out. But soon, both the ignorant and the reckless were their actions and paid a painful price.

　　 Boom! boom!

　　 Incandescent flashes lit up, and masses of compressed flames erupted. The shock wave formed by the huge explosion ripped apart these dense formations of the Barbarian Silver Ring coalition forces at the gap of the city wall like pieces of paper. The soft flesh and fragile bones in the human body were split into countless small slags, which fell outside the city wall, forming "blood circles" with a radius of 30 meters.

　　 After a brief loss of consciousness, the Silver Ring Army collapsed first. The soldiers threw down their weapons, cried, pushed and yelled at each other, and fled towards their own camp, which caused an avalanche of the entire army.

　　 In the face of the enemy who lost their intent to fight, the successor army strangled the enemy who had attacked the city wall effortlessly.

　　 The lance wing commander shouted loudly: "The commander has ordered the lance group to gather! Open the gate!"

　　 The knights turned on their horses, the light cavalry drew their long swords, and the cavalry archers drew out their short bows and prepared their quiver.

　　 As the winch slowly turned, the gate opened again.

　　 It's just that there is no beast this time, and the enemy's horrified and helpless eyes and defenseless backs appear.

　　 "God Bless the Son! Charge!"

The Knights attacked again. The heavy cavalry, equipped with heavy armor and armed with dragon spears, took the lead, rushing through the enemy's dense formation, knocking over anything blocking the way and flattening; the light cavalry wearing inlaid leather armor followed closely behind the heavy cavalry. , Using a long sword to harvest scattered lives; the archers bypassed the impact route and detoured to the side of the enemy, using their bows and arrows to take care of those stubbornly resisting soldiers.

　　 The successor sniper came to the arrow tower and used the abilities of "Eagle Eye" and "Perception" to send the iron arrow on the crossbow into the head of the enemy unit leader.

　　 A strange scene appeared on the battlefield.

The cavalry with less than three hundred men chased the infantry with four thousand men. There was no semaphore, no drum horn, and no messenger. They used the "beehive" parasites to transmit information. At the most appropriate time, from the most deadly weakness, Completed the textbook-like interspersed and segmented again and again.

　　 Some warriors and veterans of the barbarian tribe have just gathered a small group of tribesmen, wanting to fight back, they are defeated by this kind of "scalpel".

　　 Beishi Fortress to the coalition camp, the distance of three kilometers, became a veritable "blood road". Thousands of soldiers died in chasing and trampling, and the howling sound was heard clearly by people from several kilometers away.

　　 In the evening, the first day of the defensive battle for the North Stone Fortress passed after the Knights who had chased the enemy for four hours returned to camp. The Musi Knights lost 7 knights, 49 sergeants and 132 soldiers, as well as 251 wounded soldiers, including the commander of the fortress Harkins. As for the number of war-damaged by the Barbarian and Silver Ring coalition forces, it is impossible to give a specific number. There were nearly a thousand soldiers who died on the battlefield, but many more fled from this dead place. In the end, fewer than two soldiers returned to the camp. Thousands of people.

　　 The Knights and the Allied Forces exchanged their offensive and defensive roles several times in the next few days, and the war entered a stalemate.

　　

　　 As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun provides travelers on the earth with the last bit of warmth from the day.

　　 At the foot of the Falling Star Mountain Range, there is such a winding trail. It does not appear on any map, but it is affectionately called the "Hoarfrost Road" by countless medicinal monks and sheep-grazing farmers.

　　 Brunhild was riding on the horse, looking at the white snow between the mountains in the distance, listening to the eagles hovering on the top of the peak, stretched out in a relaxed and happy manner.

　　 I caught a glimpse of Cumberland who was talking with the tour guide. The Valkyrie pinched the horse belly, trot a few steps, and came to the old knight's side.

　　 "How long can we get there?"

　　 Cumberland stopped talking, looked at Brunhild, and laughed.

　　 He understands that this woman has such a natural nature, coupled with the long-term isolation from the world, she always speaks and does things straightforwardly.

Cumberland looked at the wider and wider road ahead, and said to her: "Climb over the mountain in front and walk along the river for a long time, and you will see Silver Ring. Tonight we may camp on the mountain and let The Knights of the North Island are ready."

　　 Brunhild nodded, and rode his horse away from the old knight.

　　 That night, the Knights of the North Island raised a bonfire under a leeward mountain wall.

　　The golden and oily wild boar was strung on a wooden stick and placed on the fire, sizzling.

　　 The frothy low-quality ale passed into the hands of the North Island fighters, laughing and bragging endlessly.

　　 Wrestling, wrist wrenching, axe throwing, the various games of the North Islanders, added a lot of fiery atmosphere to this cold night.

　　 Cumberland, sitting on the boulder, quietly wiped the armor in his hand, smiling and looking at everything about the North Islanders.

　　 But his subordinates, the knights of the Western Knights, don't have such a good temper. They knelt in front of the Bible, holding the cross in their hands, chanting prayers quietly, and from time to time they cast disgusting glances at these "noisy" guys.

　　 Holding a wine glass in his hand, Brunhild walked to Cumberland, put a glass of wine in front of the old knight, and said to him: "We welcome you to join."

　　 Cumberland glanced back at his men, then smiled and rejected the kindness of the Valkyrie: "Thank you for the invitation, but today is the fast day of the advent period, they have something to do."

Brunhild frowned slightly: "It seems that your god, whether it speaks or even breathes, has extremely high demands on believers. And the gods I serve are more important to results. "

Vaguely able to hear a little irony in the other party’s words, Cumberland did not refute, but changed the subject: "I heard them call you Brunhild. As far as I know, this name is similar to that in the North Island myth. The daughter of the gods is the same. Is this a duplicate name? Or does it have a deeper meaning?"

Brunnhild found a clean place and sat down, took off the crown of his head and placed it on his lap, and quietly said: "The name is a spiritual symbol and also represents a responsibility. In my village, once Became the leader of the Valkyrie. After the "Winter Fire Ceremony", the original name will be abandoned, and the name Brunhild will be awarded to the new leader by the previous leader."

　　 "It's like my parents give their own names to their children and grandchildren." Cumberland touched his beard and said thoughtfully.

　　 Brunhild grabbed a feather with his hand and rubbed it lightly: "No, it's not just that simple. As the heirs of the sacred name, people would think that the soul of the Valkyrie has also entered my body."

　　 Cumberland was taken aback, then said with a wry smile: "That...it would be very tired..."

　　 Brunhild gave up talking about these things, and asked Cumberland: "The battle commander of the Twilight Knights, I also have something to ask you."

　　 The old man sat up straight and motioned for his ears to listen.

"In the minds of North Islanders, bravery and infinite power are the criteria for judging heroes and leaders. But in my opinion, Todd does not meet these requirements..." Brunnhild tilted his head and thought. Said.

　　 Cumberland interrupted him: "Please call him Your Majesty, it doesn't matter to King Todd. After all, your knighthood is conferred by him personally, and the title of the North Island Knights is the same."

Seeing the bewilderment on Brunhild’s face, the old knight sighed. Knowing that the North Island woman didn’t understand the meaning of knights, he continued helplessly: “Forget it, don’t care about what I said, please continue. The question just now."

　　 Brunhild nodded: "I have seen the soldiers of the Twilight Knights. Whether it is you, Alfonso or Harkins, your strength must be stronger, why..."

Cumberland interrupted her for the second time: "The leader of the Valkyrie, please stop talking, I understand what you mean. Um... Emmanuel in the "Bible" witnessed the world full of Sin and depravity, because they cannot escape the punishment and control of sin, they lead the disciples on the path of salvation..."

　　 Brunhild's increasingly suspicious expression made the old knight feel helpless and patted his forehead with his right hand.

"I'm telling the story of the "Bible" with a North Islander, what am I thinking about." Cumberland pondered for a while ~lightnovelpub.net~ and then said to Brunhild, "Let me To put it another way, the kings and lords I have seen in most of my life combined have more holes than my lock armor. Most of them have the same characteristics, worship, power, and greed. But. , I can’t blame them, this is the original sin given to mankind by God.”

"From the first sight of King Todd, I think he is very strange. He knows things that mortals don’t know, but he has a grand vision that we can’t understand. He firmly believes that all beings are equal, and he is committed to creating a better world. .Perhaps he is the saint son that people are rumored to have, in order to end all this darkness, he willingly fell into the mortal world from the light. Even if not, I think he is also a once-in-a-lifetime monarch, very likely to open up a brand new world , A world where there are no more wars and hunger." Cumberland held the pendant on his chest and said slowly: "I have a stupid son who is loyal, brave, and powerful. As a knight, he is undoubtedly It was qualified. But after meeting the king, I realized a truth. My son chose the wrong person for the vow."

　　The words were over, and Cumberland and Brunhild fell silent at the same time.

　　 After a while, Brunhild said softly: "Todd... I mean your Majesty, he is indeed different."

Cumberland patted the dust on his body, and said to Brunhild, "Brunhild of the Knights of the North Island, go to sleep, take a good night's sleep, and we will be able to reach Silver Ring tomorrow. "
