Chapter 371 Morrowind IV
The captain of the guard pretended to be calm and poked his head out from the wall. He was a little afraid that his head would be blown off by a crossbow suddenly. The Rhine City already knew the reputation of the crossbow led by Morrowind.
"I...uh...cough—"
The captain of the guard felt that at this time, at least he must have the style of a small leader, "I am Chris, the captain of the city gate guard here!"
Hans vaguely saw Chris poking his head out, and shouted to him according to Huin's order, "Tele is violent and the people suffer. Is this what the late old king Bonaventure IV wanted to see?" Is it?"
Hans continued to shout loudly without giving Chris time to think according to what Xiuyin had instructed him before, "And you, Chris, as a soldier, isn't it the duty of a soldier to protect everyone's happiness, but to protect everyone's happiness?" Encouraging a tyrant to plunge everyone into endless sorrow!?"
...
There was silence on the walls.
Although the light was very weak, the fireball released by Xiu Yin into the sky did not dissipate when it rose to the highest point, but began to fall slowly at this time.
The twilight of the falling fireball was imprinted on Chris's face, and just like his mood at this time, his heart was already in a mess.
Prince Trey controlled the Principality of the Rhine, and the people in the Rhine City thought they could directly enjoy the favor of the Starlight Royal Family, but they did not expect that the violence of Prince Trey was more terrifying than the greed of the Grand Duke of Rhine.
And during the day, one of their brothers went to report to Trey that the army led by Morrowind appeared here and never came back...
Goo...
Chris felt that he could hear his own heartbeat, and he felt that there were countless eyes looking at him around him, and the source of these eyes was his subordinates.
They were not originally the troops defending the city, but they were the first troops to escort Prince Trey into the duke's mansion of the Grand Duke of the Rhine that night, and he himself was just an ordinary soldier at that time.
Trey appointed him to be promoted to captain and to guard the most important west gate. Almost everyone in the city knew how critical the west gate was that night. It was also because of the west gate that the Grand Duke of the Rhine lost everything. The new owner of the city.
However, Chris did not usher in the "Master" he thought at first. On the contrary, he and his subordinates, who were originally his comrades in arms, began to become a little frustrated.
What exactly are they guarding?
Continue your dream of becoming a Cavalier?
Defend the honor of knights?
Or the dignity of being a fighter?
"team leader?"
The soldier in charge of guarding the city felt that their captain's silence was a bit too long. After all, there is another... no, there are tens of thousands of people waiting...
The sound of Night Breeze can be heard. The fireball that Xiuyin released at the very beginning has reached its critical point and is about to dissipate completely. The fireball is slowly about to lose its shape, and it seems to be slowly dissolving in the night sky. , Gradually it will turn into a spark.
Xiu Yin and the others were all waiting, waiting for the answer from Rhine City. Xiu Yin was not in a hurry. Although he didn't think this matter would be a success, regardless of the outcome, just like Abisa proposed, the most important thing was to attack the heart.
Chris knew that there was no time for him to hesitate, his eyes caught the flame flower that was about to disappear, and behind the flower was still the looming figure of the Legion enemy.
There are also tens of thousands of guards in Rhine City, and they are not completely afraid of the troops outside the city.
but……
Hans' previous shout echoed in Chris's heart, did he really want to continue to defend the thug behind him?
"Captain Chris, Huine Neumann is waiting for your reply!"
Hans' voice sounded again, and it was time for Chris to answer them.
"I……"
Before Chris was about to speak, his eyes met those of the comrades around him.
There was panic, bewilderment, and timidity, but more, they ignored the huge castle under construction behind them. Once the castle was completed, it would be the new residence of the mob.
"We not only protect our family, but also what is called justice..."
Chris himself was shaken, but he had to make his subordinates agree with him, at least they stood on the stand of justice and glory, they were not cowards who were afraid of war.
"Open the city gate!"
Chris is no longer hesitating, his voice is very loud, not only speaking to his subordinates, but also declaring their position to the Morrowind leader.
Xiu Yin and the surrounding generals looked at each other, and Victory took a big step forward.
"but……"
Abisa just wanted to ask what if the defenders disagreed? Continue to attack hard?
But just now, shortly after Chris's words fell, in an inconspicuous small pit near Rhine City, Abissa, the strong Earth Knight, noticed a few figures moving there.
There were a few figures holding crossbows, Abisa's pupils shrank, and he felt a little lucky for the captain of the guard on the city wall. If he expressed his refusal, he might be shot in the head with a few crossbow bolts.
clang clang...
The gate of the Rhine City opened slowly, and the Knights of Abisa were already on the verge of going out. The moment the gate was fully opened, the Knights of Abisa rushed out first, approaching Lewandov's army.
The actual combat power of Xiu Yin's side is not much, especially this night Xiu Yin only brought out the elite of the headquarters, because this battle requires a high combat power and a high degree of coordination, such as Bartica's good intentions The reinforcements that came could only be regarded as foreign aid outside the city. Once they entered the city and started fighting, it would likely cause unnecessary trouble for Xiu Yin and the others.
First of all, quickly occupy the city gate. If Chris finds that the army led by Morrowind has only a poor thousand people entering the city, Huin doesn't want to take that risk.
Xiu Yin went up to the city wall to meet the captain of the city guard, and the others were led by General Lewandoff. Just like that night, Lewandov wanted to occupy the city defense camp of the Rhine City first.
Accompanied by Hans, Huin climbed up the city wall.
The young boy with red hair, Chris knew it was the young lord of Morrowind, Huine Neumann, he had seen Huin that night, his red hair was very conspicuous in the dark night, Chris had been with him before Xiu Yin passed by, of course Chris was just an ordinary soldier at that time.
Chris knelt down on one knee, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and held his hands flat on his forehead. This is a knightly ceremony to declare his loyalty.
In Chris' heart, Huine Neumann is already his new lord!
