Alien Knights

A few hours later, Cumberland took the warrant and hurriedly knocked on the door of the King's Audience Room.

When the old knight was brought into the room by the guards, he was obviously taken aback when he saw that Rachel was also there.

Todd lowered his head, standing in front of the desk covered with the map of Twilight West, and was seriously discussing the next actions and arrangements with Rachel.

The appearance of Cumberland made Todd raised his head with some doubts: "Why are you here? Haven't I already issued the king's order to let the Knights go as soon as possible?"

Cumberland raised the warrant and said in a deep voice: "I have heard about the riots in Silver Ring. I have no problem sending out cavalry to quell me as soon as possible, but... Your Majesty, you must name your name. Bing, it is also emphasized in the document that after the rebellion is countered, he will stay in the same place and will not return to the city for the time being. What is going on?"

Todd and Rachel looked at each other and asked Cumberland, "Is there any problem?"

"Counting the rebellion does not require me to go there personally. I only need to send a deputy commander or an experienced commander of the knights to be fully qualified for this job. After the rebellion is countered, I will be stationed in place. I don't even think about it."

Cumberland paused for a while, and then added: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing, don't you think it is strange? It is midwinter now, the road is blocked by heavy snow, the march is slow, and the logistics are difficult. At this time, the rebels chose to attack and had no money. The reserve of Silver Ring City, this behavior is almost like deliberately attracting our attention and enticing us to send troops..."

Todd didn't answer Cumberland's question, but took the letter for help from the drawer of the desk and handed it to the other person.

Cumberland opened the letter and read it again, frowning deeper and deeper: "Has the situation in Silver Ring City been messed up to this point?"

"The rebels have reached 6,000. Our army is short of clothing and food, and the city's defenses have collapsed. Counting the time of the letter delivery, it is unknown whether the latter can hold on for another day. At this time, only the speed of the alien warhorse can be used. And endurance, you can get to the battlefield as soon as possible to solve this problem. Moreover, after repelling the rebels, in order to prevent the enemy from coming back, I need you to garrison Silver Ring City and wait for the defense to be restored before returning."

Cumberland squeezed the letter in his hand and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, I admit that what you said makes sense. The size of the enemy forces in Silver Ring City is beyond my expectation, but..."

Todd looked at Cumberland and said calmly: "In every second of our arguing and hesitation, there may be a loyal kingdom soldier giving his life."

Cumberland closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Observe the Holy Will."

Seeing the old knight leaving, Rachel smiled and said to Todd: "He will understand later that you are protecting him now."

"Cumberland has an upright character, but he values ​​love in his bones. In the face of the rebellion in Twilight City, he will definitely not hesitate to commit murder and **** suppression, but after all, this is the home he looked to grow up. Every citizen is of special significance to him. If I leave him in the city, after completing my duties, I am worried that guilt and nightmare will follow him forever."

Rachel looked at Todd and asked softly, "So, you plan to endure all the pain and sin karma alone?"

Todd's face was dimmed for a moment, but soon he returned to normal, and he changed the subject with a smile: "About the things I asked the Alien Association to do..."

Rachel looked at Todd who was pretending to be relaxed, and sighed slightly: "Emmerson, Terrence, Raglan...All those on the protection list, I have made the Association twenty-four I watched them when I was young. Once there are changes in Twilight City, after confirming that they have nothing to do with the rebellion, the association will move them and their families to a safe place and protect them as soon as possible."

Todd nodded, gently held Rachel's hand, and whispered, "Thank you."

Rachel leaned close to Todd and kissed him lightly on his lips: "There are some things you don't need to bear alone. It may not be a bad thing to share them with others."

Todd patted the chair next to him, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The world is chasing power, but never thought that this position is like an iron plate on a fire, not so easy to sit on..."

"Todd, you are too strict with yourself..." Rachel pursed his lips and said softly, "By the way, I have something I want to tell you. I will be busy arranging things for the alien association in the last few days. I'm afraid There is no time to come to the palace again."

Todd hummed softly.

"However, I will specially invite a guest to accompany you in the palace."

Todd froze for a moment, then opened his eyes wide and said, "Wait a minute! The person you are talking about, isn't it Mary?"

Rachel smiled and put the map away.

Todd watched Rachel prepare to leave, and said anxiously: "Isn't it safer for Mary to stay in the Alien Association than to be with me?"

Leaning on the door frame, Rachel turned his head and said to Todd: "I said, this is a test of mine."

Todd wanted to say more, but Rachel had disappeared in the doorway and disappeared.

Froststone City, the camp of the Holy Religious Army.

Wayne Dunlop looked at the list in his hand and said, "According to your majesty's will..."

Shaman Minnie interrupted him and said: "Not your majesty, but the son of the gods."

Wayne glanced at the determined old shaman and shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Well, Son of the Gods...He asked the Holy Religious Army to enter a state of preparation immediately and be ready to set off at all times."

"As for the roster of the Crusades, I have sorted it out and it is tentatively set to be two hundred. They are all fighters whose training has ended, and the performance of their abilities is relatively stable."

"This includes forty-five orcs, thirty-five werewolves, thirty elves, twenty lizardmen, twenty tauren, fifteen harpies, fifteen dwarves, and snake-haired girls. Two demon..."

Shaman Minni nodded as she listened: "Do you have any recommendations for the selection of the commander of the Crusade Army?"

"I recommend Ackerman Shaukola~www.readwn.com~ I heard that he used to be the leader of the Red Branch, and the combination of the flame breath ability and the tyrant in his body was relatively successful."

Minnie raised her head and smiled and said, "I know him."

Wayne put away the list: "Then, Your Majesty...I have completed the tasks assigned by the Son of Gods, and I will transfer all the rest to the shaman assembly for completion."

Minnie turned her gaze to the center of the camp, the priests who worshipped around the black dragon statue, and said quietly: "Except for the priests, Froststone City has mobilized all the warships in the city, and all the large groups are ready to go. . Soon, the idols of the children of the gods will be spread all over the earth."

Hearing the chirping from the sky, Wayne looked up and saw dozens of Valkyries riding griffins across the sky above the camp, and flew quickly toward the south in formation.

In the distant sky, the dark clouds gathered and thickened, and the sunlight was gradually dispersed, leaving only the dark shadows following the direction of the ridge and spreading rapidly in all directions.

Feeling the cold wind in Ling Li, Wayne tightened the collar of his coat and said softly, "It's going to change."
