Alien Knights

Chapter 756: Destination (9)

, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Alien Knights! Standing on the tower of the city wall, Cumberland looked towards the horizon of the far east. A dark shadow loomed in the dust and moved slowly.

The adjutant climbed up the stairs, stood beside Cumberland, and whispered, "My lord."

In Cumberland's gully old face, there was no expression: "How many people are there?"

Adjutant: "Three hundred and twenty-nine people."

Cumberland was taken aback, turned to the adjutant and asked, "Three hundred and twenty-nine people? I will let you pass the order. Anyone who wants to leave can withdraw to the inner city. Didn't you tell them?"

Adjutant: "I've said...Everyone must stay."

Cumberland stood there, silent for a long time, and finally just sighed and stopped talking.

The adjutant lowered his head, looked at the dragon-shaped badge on his chest, and said, "My lord, everyone is already prepared."

Cumberland looked at the adjutant's slightly childish face and suddenly asked, "How long have you been with me?"

Adjutant: "Five years."

Cumberland: "Five years...five years, you have been with my old man long enough, maybe you should do some consideration for your family."

The adjutant shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "When my grandfather and you were in the Kingdom of the Silver Ring, they were your comrades under Lord Emerson; my father, as your first knight of surrender, will even protect you. Think of it as a spiritual mentor."

"When both of them were alive, they taught me more than once that family and honor coexist, and knights can never abandon their vows."

Cumberland looked at the adjutant, the firmness in his eyes made him let out a soft sigh.

"Let's go." Cumberland said as he walked down the steps, "Let's go and see those lads."

Coming to the square in front of the barracks, Cumberland saw the subordinates who were preparing weapons and armor.

Three hundred and twenty-nine people, including two knight commanders, forty-two knights, 115 subordinate knights, some soldiers from the Holy Acropolis army, and auxiliary soldiers in charge of food, stables, transportation, etc. .

These people are the survivors of the entire Eastern Defense Line and the last military force of the Allied Knights.

Some of them were so scarred that they needed help to get on the horse; some could not find a suitable armor and had to hide their hands and feet in their armor pockets; some could not even use weapons, just like carrying them. The sacks usually carry a sword and shield.

Facing such a miscellaneous army, Cumberland did not look disappointed or disgusted.

He walked among the people, patted everyone on the shoulder, laughed and talked to them.

After seeing everyone, Cumberland jumped into a wooden box in the barracks and said to everyone: "You guys should all know what it means to stay..."

People nodded, they all knew the hint in Cumberland's words.

Cumberland continued: "We are facing hundreds of times as many enemies as ourselves, and we have stood here until now. Look at the enemy bodies outside the wall! They are piled up into mountains, and can even block the sky!"

"Throughout the history of human warfare, I dare say that we people have created a miracle, a miracle that has never been seen before!"

Cumberland looked around and said, "Regardless of the final outcome of this war, we who are able to perform such miracles are already uncompromising victors!"

"Now, what we have to do is how to mark the end of this war."

Cumberland paused for a moment, then said: "Whoever it is, there will be death."

"Whether to return to the kingdom of heaven with the soul of honor, or to survive for a lifetime...I! I have already made a decision!"

Cumberland raised his head, looked at the black dragon banner floating on the top of the tower, and said loudly: "I swear here, for honor and for the king, I will fight to the death until the last moment of my life!"

In an instant, people's shouts resounded over the barracks: "For honor, for my king! Do not retreat!"

Cumberland jumped out of the wooden box, rolled over to ride on his horse, and loudly ordered: "Open the door!"

The iron gate on the wall gradually opened, and the endless plain was in front of you.

Cumberland just wanted to move forward, but he heard the rush of horse hooves behind him.

Alfonso rushed into the barracks, stopped next to Cumberland who was surprised, and stabilized his figure.

Cumberland looked at Alfonso and lowered his voice angrily: "You should be back in the city now!"

Alfonso: "Not this time."

Cumberland raised his voice: "You are violating orders!"

Alfonso turned his head to face Cumberland: "If I remember correctly, you gave me the badge of the commander. So, as the new commander, the first order I gave was to order myself return."

Cumberland was stunned.

He who reacted later, laughed as he shook his head.

Alfonso looked at Cumberland and said, "I can understand your painstaking efforts, but there are always things in this world that are more important than life."

Cumberland stared into Alfonso's eyes and nodded slightly.

The two rode horses, walked out of the gate of the city wall, bypassed the corpses piled up in the mountains, and came to the plain.

The shadows in the distance are getting closer and closer, and the darkness hits like a tide.

Looking around, the entire horizon was completely covered by the group of corpses, and it was no longer in sight.

A knight group composed of three hundred and thirty people lined up on the ground in a line, looking down from high above, like a grain of sand, blocking the front of the black tsunami.

Feeling the shock from the earth, Cumberland slowly pulled out the saber around his waist and pointed it at the sky.

Alfonso looked at the tide of death that was slowly expanding in his field of vision, and said softly: "I, Alfonso de Carvo, swear an oath on this under the witness of God!"

"Humility and integrity are my rules; mercy and sacrifice are my honor; heroism and justice are my glory!"

Cumberland slammed the sword forward, and the three hundred and thirty knights began to accelerate forward slowly.

While urging the horses, Alfonso raised the volume: "The powerful enemy is now, fearless and fearless! Dare to be loyal and worthy of the gods!"

The knights around him ~lightnovelpub.net~ followed up and said: "Speak upright, I would rather die than blame! Protect the weak, no wonder!"

The enemy in the cavalry line of sight was getting closer and closer, and the outline of the necromantic army could be gradually seen.

Alfonso put on his mask, raised his sword, and shouted: "I swear to be kind to the weak! I swear to fight **** bravely!"

More and more people followed his voice: "I swear to fight all mistakes! I swear to fight for the defenseless!"

The forward troops of the necromancers have quickly approached to a position less than one kilometer away from the cavalry.

On the battlefield, the vows of the Knights became louder and louder, and even gradually overwhelmed the roar of the dead.

"I swear to help anyone who asks me for help! I swear not to harm any woman! I swear to treat my friends sincerely! I swear that I will be unswerving to the beloved!"

The Necromancer and the Knights have entered the distance of engagement.

Cumberland swung his sword, chopped off the head of a necromancer, and yelled forward.

"Knights, charge!"
