"How long are we going to stay in this kind of place?"
A Blood Wolf Knight kicked hard on the wall, and the iron wrapped in the front of his boots rubbed a few sparks on the wall. At this moment when the setting sun was half gone, it shone especially brightly in the shadows behind the wall. Beside him, one of his companions sighed, "Stop complaining, Eric. Who doesn't want to go back here? It's an insult to the Knight's reputation that we have to protect such a son. But so what? This is Earl Rackett's order. "
"Perhaps it's just that Lanza's order." The Knight, known as Eric, slammed his palm on the wall. "He's made us do enough shameful things, not to mention the kidnapping of the former Count's sister not long ago. Just the day before yesterday, we were going to the village to steal women. What's the difference between this and bandits? "
"So we have to endure it for now. Didn't I hear that Lord Glenn has brought an army over? I think the matter here will be resolved soon, right? "The Knight smiled and said," In that case, we can return to Dorne quickly. I haven't seen those bastards at home for a long time. "
"Me too. I wonder how Alisa is doing now." Eric sighed, and the corner of his eyes suddenly stung by the light. He subconsciously reached out to block it. Through his fingers, his gaze landed on the road in front of White Castle. At the other end of the road, a group of people was heading towards the castle. It was the armor on the other side's warrior that reflected the setting sun and pierced into his eyes.
"What's going on?" His companion beside him also noticed something strange and pounced on the city wall.
From their position, they could see the entire street below them. There were about a hundred people in that group. There were about twenty Knight running in front, and behind them were walking warriors. Whether it was the Knight or the infantry, their armor was all silver white iron armor. On the chest of these armors, there was a cross pattern. The flag raised by the infantry at the back was the sword cross pattern of the Church's military "Crusade".
"It's the Church?" Eric said nervously, "Hurry up and inform Mr. Lanza. We're in trouble."
After his companions left, Eric gathered the remaining Blood Wolf Knight. As for the soldiers, these sons of the Gills Clan could only make up the numbers and scare the civilians at ordinary times. If a fight really broke out, these people could not be relied on. At this moment, they were also mobilized to the castle's defensive wall, their hands trembling as they held their guns.
White Castle was not a military castle, even though Ouban's ancestors had built it on the scale of a castle at the beginning of its construction. Although White Castle also had defensive walls, arrow mounds, sentry towers, city gates, and other defensive facilities, each of them was greatly reduced. After all, if the castle was built too strictly, it would be detrimental to the image of the previous Sir. But now, from Eric's point of view, the defensive power this castle provided them was very limited, and it was only slightly better than the courtyard.
He looked around him. There were less than ten Blood Wolf Knight people and more than twenty pale-faced soldiers. Once the other side really attacked, Eric could already foresee the outcome.
The Crusaders stopped about a hundred meters away from the castle. The road led straight to the castle gate, and this distance was enough for the Crusaders to charge. Eric braced himself and stepped forward, shouting, "What are you doing! This is White Castle, the castle of the noble Earl of Gills. I demand that you retreat immediately! "
The Crusaders suddenly split up from both sides. Regardless of whether it was the Knight or the infantry, their movements were uniform when they moved, causing Eric's heart to sink. Without a doubt, this army was well trained. Even though there were fewer people, their combat strength could not be ignored. Vera and Father Miro walked to the front from the separated crowd. When Vera stopped, the priest still took a step forward and said to the castle, "In view of Earl Gills' filthy reputation and cruel atrocities. Such a person has lost the virtue of a lord, and people want to support a new lord. As for Lord Gills, we hope that he will abdicate of his own accord. So now, please open the city gate. "
"What a joke. Could it be that the Church can replace the authority of the empire? Lord Gills' title was bestowed by the empire. What right does the Church have to remove him? "Eric shouted.
Father Miro smiled and said, "Of course the Church cannot replace the empire to remove Lord Gills from his title. I just said that the Church is only speaking the hearts of the people. 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 her sent a ball of red fireworks into the sky.
Then, fireworks rose from every corner of Ark Harbor in response. Eric looked at the fireworks all over the city and his heart beat faster. He knew that something was definitely going to happen. Sure enough, not long after, footsteps came from all directions. Eric looked down from above and saw that the streets connecting the castle were filled with a dense crowd that was surging over like a tide. They were in good order, but they emitted a suffocating aura.
No one knew who took the lead, but they heard neat shouts from below the city, "The Lord is unvirtuous, abdicate and give up power!"
The sound waves were higher and higher, and Eric, who was on the city wall, seemed to be in a sea of sound. Slogans sounded from all directions. At this time, not to mention the soldiers, even the Blood Wolf Knight panicked. It was extremely difficult for such a thing to happen in other cities, but now that the army of Ark Harbor was under Jorah's control, Gills had no soldiers to use, so there was no need to talk about suppressing it.
It was impossible for a foreign Knight like Eric and twenty or so clan youths who had never even killed anyone to disperse the gathering of ten thousand people below the city. Seeing so many people, Eric began to worry that the copper-clad oak door of the castle might be a little too thin.
An orange flame rose into the sky. At this moment, the sun had already set and night had fallen. Therefore, as long as one looked at the night sky, one could clearly see the exploding flame. When they saw this flame, everyone quieted down, and it was terrifyingly neat. At this moment, Father Miro's voice sounded again, "Everyone on the city wall, I'm sure you've heard the voices of the people. Even the Emperor knows that the will of the people cannot be disobeyed, so Knight, please open the city gates. "
Eric gritted his teeth and shouted, "I can't do it!"
Father Miro smiled helplessly and looked behind him. Wilick, who was wearing armor, immediately left the Crusaders and galloped on the main road. His target could not be more obvious.
"Attack! Attack! "Eric shouted.
