Dawn of the Grey Tower

The sun is gradually going west. When the sunlight was gradually blocked by the peaks of Longji Mountain, the cold wind from the tundra whistled and wanted to bring this place into winter again. At this time, a large number of torches had been erected on the walls of the valley city, but under the influence of sulfur smoke in the air, the flames burning on the torches were slightly green.

"Adult," the strange-looking soldier with the torch in his hand walked to Marcus's side. From the clothing on his body, the soldier belonged to the Kingdom Knights. It ’s just that not all the knights are knights. Hujun and the servants will join the battlefield with their masters. “The cleaning of the outer city has been completed. But the resistance to the inward march is too large, and the smoke blocks the vision. Provide support from a distance. "

"How about the casualties of the Knights?" The king's hands pressed his hands against the raised walls, overlooking the city. The closer to the valley castle, the thicker the smoke, but no one can tell where the smoke with a strong sulfur smell comes from. The soldiers under the city wall formed a small group to patrol the demon sweeping the net. After an afternoon of fighting, they had initially controlled the external area relying on the southern city wall.

"Keira Knight, Knight Aldo, Knight Knight, were killed in battle, and another ten were injured to varying degrees. Thirty-four people were killed in battle. The wounded are still in the statistics, but they should be more than fifty." The knight he served was also one of the ten injured, otherwise he should still be patrolling the city with his master at this time, and would not come back to do this kind of ordering.

Marcus snorted, and the proportion of casualties of this degree already accounted for 70% of the soldiers entering the city. And he is very clear that with the temper of those proud knights, there will only be more people who are not injured. The battle situation has been tragic to the extent that the knighthood was seriously injured. You know that although it seems that only three knights were killed in battle, it means that the squires under their control also followed serious casualties, otherwise the knights under protection will never easily die.

"Have the remains of the war dead been recovered?" The knights and their squires were traditionally sent back to their families by the knights after the war. This is a very serious matter in Cangshi. Those returned teams are strictly classified according to the status of the dead. This is the last glory they can enjoy. Afterwards, their bodies will be cremated or put into the coffin under the witness of their family members, and then returned to the capital by the returning team, buried in the cemetery outside the royal castle and sleeping with the knights of all dynasties.

"Most of them, adults. Only the body of Knight Keira was destroyed in the battle with the demon and could not be recovered ... It is said that he was alone in order to cover the troops and faced huge enemies, and was swallowed by the demon. After killing the demon, he cut open its belly and found only some unrecognizable things. "When the soldier said this, his face became as green as the torch in his hand, obviously remembering the terrible Scenes.

The hand of the king nodded, and this problem also existed in the battle with the Ratmen. After all, their opponents are not humans, and no matter how honorable the kingdom is, there is no way for those monsters not to eat the remains of the warriors. "I will go to the door and apologize personally for the family of Kayla Knight, so that the soldiers cannot rest, it is my commander's negligence."

"In addition, there is one more thing, I'm afraid I have to bother you." The soldier looked at Marcus and waited for about five seconds before finally courageously telling him this bad thing, "The Knight of Ente Although the body was recovered, there were signs of blasphemy on her body. Given that she was robbed by the demon from his subordinates, we cannot be sure ... "

"Got it, keep the remains of the Knights of Ente separately. I will let the pharmacist association identify them later. Before that, I do n’t want more people to know about this news." In the battle, the corpse was blasphemed by demons. This news spread that I am afraid that even the reputation of Atticus will shame the Knights. Marcus gritted his teeth and gave instructions. Now that the Knights are the biggest force group in his hands, he cannot let him have any problems.

"It looks like you are in a bad mood? Are you in silence for the knight who died in battle?" The untimely question interrupted the dialogue between the herald and the king's hand. Andrea, the Duke of Kroger, came with a **** hammer in his hand. Judging from the traces of the corroded armor on his body, the Duke should have just gone to the battlefield to close the demon. Fight. In the face of opponents who are enough to kill the regular knights, Andrea ’s expression at this time can't help but lament the injustice of the creator, so that the extraordinary force and monstrous power can be gathered in one person.

Marcus waved his hand to signal that the herald of soldiers left, and then turned to meet the approaching Duke, "Thank you King Bless, do you know you shouldn't be such a pawn?"

"Why? I heard that you told your majesty to pay for all the nobles who did not participate in the battle when the kings were guarding." Andrea chuckled and handed his arms to his servants . He glanced at the valley city inside the city wall. His eyes seemed to have passed through the thick smoke, and he saw the castle destined for the kingdom flag again.

"At this moment ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ The ruler of the kingdom should be sitting in the back of the town, this is for the sake of the people he ruled. Just like His Majesty did not walk up to the city wall during the battle of defense." Marcus Shen Sheng said. He knew that the other party wanted to hear such things, and the king's hand was not stingy to admit that Andrea was indeed qualified to succeed the king. At least the duke still has the courage and ability to fight the demon, better than the cowards hiding outside the valley and handing over the command of the army to others.

The corner of Duke Kroger's mouth unexpectedly flashed for a moment, then disappeared again. "I think it's time to let the various troops retreat, we can just stick to this wall. It is too risky to camp in the city at night. It will be too risky to wait for the engineers to take the crossbow arrows tomorrow, and then explore the inner city."

"Your wish, sir." Marcus nodded, and he had no objection at this point, so soon the trumpet sound of the troop's trumpet sounded on the city wall, and the teams of men and women began to ascend the city wall in order. More torches and bonfires began to be built on the city walls, and thanks to the original purpose of the Valley City as a military fortress, the city walls were wide enough to accommodate the Cangshi ’s coalition temporarily.

But just as the soldiers of the Krog family who were in charge of the rear of the hall were about to evacuate from the outer city, the sound of an alarm bell sounded on the wall.

"Ratman! It's a rat! They are coming!"
