"Go find the teleportation circle and destroy it. Be quick!" The leader of the priests said to the other priest.
The priest's face was covered by his hood, but there was a cold smile on his face. He waved his right hand in the air, and soon, eight skeletons appeared next to him.
At this moment, the 'bone wall' that was blocking the way suddenly emitted a 'hua' sound and turned into a pile of broken bones. The 'bone wall' then disappeared.
The priest rushed into the castle with the eight skeletons. The leader of the priests didn't participate in the attack on Head Knight Dunmore. He just watched from the side.
"Dunmore, are they trying to take me alive?" Prince Horace asked in a trembling voice.
"Your Highness, I don't know. Don't worry. Someone will come and save us!" Head Commander Dunmore also realized something was wrong, but he didn't know what the problem was, so he could only try to comfort him.
He knew that if the priest joined the attack, he wouldn't be able to last even a minute. The four bearmen were attacking, but they weren't using their full strength. It seemed like they were trying to drain his combat qi.
"Dunmore, give me a dagger!" Although Prince Horace's voice was still trembling, he spoke in a commanding tone, which was something he rarely did.
"Your Highness!" Head Knight Dunmore couldn't turn around to look at Prince Horace, but he could hear the determination in his voice.
"I am the prince of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis. While I enjoy the honor of being a knight, I should also bring honor to the kingdom. I may be weak, but I won't let the orcs take me alive and bring shame to the kingdom!" Prince Horace's voice was no longer trembling.
"Your Highness, I have a dagger on my right waist. It is the last honor of a Knight!" Head Knight Dunmore said.
A Knight's Last Honor. Although a Knight didn't care about being taken captive when fighting against the humans, when fighting against the orcs, he would defend the honor of the human race until he died.
"From now on, it will be called the Prince's Last Honor!" Prince Horace pulled out the dagger from Dunmore's waist and smiled as he pressed it against his chest where his heart was.
He knew that if Dunmore's protection disappeared, he might not be able to kill himself in time. Therefore, he placed the dagger in front of his chest. As soon as Dunmore's protection disappeared, Knight Dunmore would take a step back, and the dagger would stab into his heart.
"Your Highness, the orcs will suffer the wrath of the humans. What awaits the orcs is the wrath of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis!" Dunmore roared.
Unlike the battle on the castle platform, a massacre was taking place in the castle.
Yes, before the castle was breached, its defensive capabilities were very strong, but once the enemy entered, it would be a face-to-face battle.
An Intermediate Priest led eight skeletons into a castle where the strongest person was only a Knight Captain. There was almost no one who could match him.
In the empty eye sockets of the skeletons, the blue flames of the soul would flicker with every strike. Every flicker represented the loss of a human life.
The Kingdom of Saint Ellis was one of the three great human empires. The dignity of the royal family was on full display. Even though no one was a match for the Intermediate Priest, no one backed down.
The Knights used their armor, shields, and bodies to charge at the Intermediate Priest. Knights fell one after another, but more Knights were coming.
"What a laughable honor!" The Intermediate Priest's withered face twitched as he spoke in a cold voice.
He waved the bone staff in his right hand in the air, and a spell rune appeared. Then, the corpse of the Knight on the ground glowed red and expanded. With a loud boom, all the Knights nearby were buried in the explosion.
The Intermediate Priest took out a small magic circle from his portal item and observed it for a while. After confirming the location of the magic circle, he led the skeletons in that direction.
"Bahu Castle is under attack. Bahu Castle is under attack. Prince Horace is in danger. Orcs are attacking the castle. Help! "The steward of the castle was standing beside the teleportation circle. He was using the teleportation circle to ask for help from the Kingdom of Saint Ellis.
Other than the steward, Dunmore Knight Captain, and Prince Horace, no one else had the authority to send out the message. That was why it took so long to send out the message.
"Looks like the message has been sent out. You can die now!" The Intermediate Wizard suddenly appeared and spoke in human language.
"You were waiting for me to send out the message on purpose?" The steward yelled with a pale face.
"Of course. Otherwise, do you think this defenseless castle can stop me?" The intermediate wizard said as he waved his hand, and the 8 skeletons rushed forward.
The steward was not a fighter, so he could only watch helplessly as a skeleton broke his neck and threw his body onto the ground.
The other skeletons rushed to the teleportation circle and slashed at the runes on the ground with their weapons.
"Your Highness, Bahu Valley has sent a message asking for help. Prince Horace is under attack by orcs!" A Knight rushed into the office and yelled.
"Horace is under attack?" Prince Derek's expression changed as he said in a deep voice. He then asked, "Did you send anyone to help?"
"The teleportation circle is unable to connect to the teleportation circle in the castle. It is very likely that the orcs have destroyed the teleportation circle. I have already arranged for the nearest city to send knights to support, but it will take at least three hours for them to arrive!" The knight bowed and replied.
"Understood. I'll go see His Majesty now!" Prince Derek stood up and quickly walked towards the courtyard where King Ambrose was.
He knew that only an intermediate wizard or a griffin Knight could help, but he couldn't mobilize either of them. He could only report to King Ambrose and let him deal with it.
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?" King Ambrose was reading a document in his hand. As the King of an Empire, he didn't have much free time. He was busy dealing with all kinds of affairs. He looked at Prince Derek who rushed in and said with dissatisfaction.
As the heir to the throne, Prince Derek had always been taught by King Ambrose himself. He was very strict with his son.
"Father, something has happened to Horace. He is being attacked by the orcs!" Prince Derek bowed and said in an urgent voice.
With a snap, the pen in King Ambrose's hand was snapped in half. He stood up, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Prince Horace was his favorite child. He was born weak and sickly, and the only reason he survived was because he was carried in King Ambrose's arms.
Therefore, Prince Horace had always been his favorite child. Now that he heard the news, King Ambrose was both anxious and furious.
"Send out my orders. Have the griffin Knight come to his aid. Also, ask for the help of the wizards!" King Ambrose spoke in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" A voice came from behind the screen.
Then, a figure rushed out from behind the screen. It was so fast that it was almost a blur. Soon, it was out of the door and out of Prince Derek's sight.
Soon, ten Gryphon Knights rode their Gryphons and soared into the sky, flying towards Bahu Valley.
Of the ten griffin knights, four were great knight captains. The other six were all peak knight captains. With their advantage in the air and the help of their griffins, they could take on more than ten great knight captains.
This was the strength of the griffin Knight. A griffin Knight never fought alone.
The ten griffin Knight were very fast. Since the duchy of Larvid was right next to the Kingdom of Saint Ellis, it would only take them a few minutes to reach Bahu Valley.
Of course, this was the first batch of Gryphon Knights to go to the rescue. The Gryphon Knights were not in the same place. The Gryphon Knights guarding the palace were only a part of the Gryphon Knight Squadron.
