Irvine year 791.

A patter of rain fell from the sky inside, and baptism washed away the blood stains on the iron armor one by one with the chaotic ground. The Knights raised their heads and let the rain soak into the armor inside as much as possible to cool the hot body, so it faded. The heat rises in their armor.

The battle has come to an end. The enemy’s formation is broken up by the Knights. Most of them use old weapons. Cutting on the sophisticated armor can only bring a little spark. Only a few enemies have armor. They all have the skill of Knight against each other, unable to shake the battle.

Stuart Earl slowly drew the blade from the enemy’s body, his movements were extremely slow, and as the blade left, a large amount of blood poured out from under the broken body. He struggled with this Knight for a long time. At the last moment, Stuart Earl seized the opportunity and knocked him out with a sword hilt, and then a sword seals the throat.

He was already old, so he couldn’t breathe for a while, leaning on the cross blade, he raised his head slightly, enjoying the coolness of the sky.

“Ah… how many days is this?”

The eyes under the helmet only felt hot, he turned around, and there was still fire on the battlefield with corpses all over the field. Some Knights fell forever, and some Knights barely stood up.

Earl took off his helmet, and his tired eyes swept across the ground. He tried to fight for everyone, and raised the sword in his hand. The Knights responded to him, but the sword withered and looked a little desolate.

It all started a few days ago. The fishermen here saw a large number of boats passing through the White Tide Strait and landing in Irvine. They were not fishermen and were wearing heavy armor.

This incident was quickly reported to the nearby lord, Stuart Earl, Lord Uncle felt that something was not good. After White Tide Strait was Galunalo. If it was the opponent’s army, he would have received the news in advance, but now it’s nothing. No.

Stuart Earl thanked him for his vigilance, he immediately called the army, and then on the 2nd day the enemy from Galunalo surrounded his castle.

They tried to take this place, as long as they occupied the Stuart leader, the local resources were enough for their follow-up troops to rest, and even said that they used this as a base to continue advancing inland of Irvine.

Because of this, Stuart Earl made a bold decision. He did not listen to others, but stuck to it.

He is now a nail, firmly nailing Galunalo’s army to Stuart’s collar, and if they switch to other territories, they will also bring a huge marching burden, and then the attack will fail, so Stuart Earl has not retreated and has been holding on to this day.

They only sent their cronies to ride horses to other territories, conveying the news one by one until the Platinum Palace in Old Turin, and he had been waiting for support from other territories during the days of persistence.

The Knights once again defeated the enemy, knocking them out of the gap in the city wall, and then more people rushed up to reinforce the broken gap.

Stuart Earl is too old, so old that he himself feels tired, sitting on the steps casually, his attendant cautiously ran over in the shadows.

It was a child who seemed a little cowardly. He didn’t even dare to look at the old man, and skillfully removed the armor from his body. Stuart Earl exhaled for a long time, feeling that his entire soul was released.

“What’s the situation today, Navis.”

Navis quickly took down the last armor, piled them together, and spoke back while working fluently.

“It’s getting worse and worse. We have been under siege for 4 days. Although we have enough supplies, everyone is panicking, and…”

Seeing Navis’s hesitation, Stuart Earl laughed, the wrinkles of the years twisted together like a dead tree.

He likes this attendant for a simple reason. He is a simple person. He will tell him all the bad and good news directly. He has never lied or betrayed. Although he was born in a farmer, he has a noble soul.

“Because I am old?”

He smiled and faced his old age, there was nothing sorry about it, it was just a heroic twilight.

Once Stuart Earl was also a peerless Knight who could one-handed warhammer and one-handed sword. It was simply a meat grinder on the battlefield. After each battle, his armor would be red with blood dyed, so those people called him Stuart’s Red Knight.

But now the Red Knight is old, even tired of swinging his sword, and his people feel that he is old, thinking that the tall city wall can no longer protect them.

Navis hesitated, then nodded.

Earl still had a smile, but the smile gradually became lonely and became helpless. Then the pain spread to his face. He coughed violently. Navis panicked for a while and quickly helped Earl, but this couldn’t stop him. The pain until he was unconscious.

When Stuart Earl woke up again, he entered the familiar room. The dark red curtain hung on the 4th and 4th corners of the bed. The room was empty. Only Navis was sitting on the chair outside the door. He slightly hung his head as if he was asleep. Up general.

The old man got up from the bed laboriously, but every movement brought huge pain. He growled uncontrollably, waking the attendant outside the door, and Navis ran in panickedly.

“What’s wrong with me?”

The first hand held Navis, Earl’s voice was a little weak.

“The doctor said you were sick.”

Navis helped Earl back on the bed. His old body sank into the soft mattress. He clearly woke up, but he still felt tired, not only physically, but spiritually.

“How long have I slept?”

“day and a half.”

“How is the battle?”

“…”

Navis was silent and did not answer. There were people crying faintly inside. Earl moved his eyes to the window. This is his room. The highest point of the entire castle is enough to overlook everything, but now his sight is full of burning fire and smoke. , That was the outer fort of the castle, but now the banner of Galunalo was planted there.

Earl didn’t have any extra emotions, he seemed to be expected to be inside, he asked again.

“What happened?”

“Yes… it’s Lord Mardell. He took over the city defense after you were in a coma. He led the Knights to rush out during the battle last night, and… and did not return.”

“Really…it really is.”

There was a smile on Earl’s sick face. The Mardell was his nephew. Stuart Earl had not married in his life and had not many relatives. Mardell was considered his only Bloodline, so he was always with Earl’s side because he was very Clearly, as long as Earl dies, everything here belongs to him.

“Do you think he is dead?”

Navis didn’t speak. Earl knew exactly what was going on. On the first day of holding it, some Knights opposed this. They have excellent war horses and can easily rush out of the Galunalo people, but this proposal was suppressed by Earl. He ordered the Knights to hold on to the castle because they had horses and armor, but the civilians did not.

“This is a defect, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame.”

Earl said lightly, but Navis couldn’t help it at this moment, he said.

“My lord, evacuate. It’s only a matter of time before the castle falls, and we don’t have Knight to fight.”

Those Knights followed Mardell Knight and left. That was the last power in the castle, and now only a group of civilians were left here.

But Earl shook the head.

“If there is no Knight anymore, then those Galunalo have already attacked the castle, so why are we still alive now.”

“Yes… the civilians, everyone used the remaining weapons to temporarily guard the inner castle.”

“So you think we still have the Knights?”

Earl’s eyes are shining, and he is already in a desperate situation, but he can still laugh. Navis has been Earl’s attendant for a long time, but today he seems to have really met Earl for the first time.

“Go to Navis, the bottom compartment of the drawer, there is a parchment roll, please bring it.”

Although the attendant didn’t understand, he still obeyed Earl’s instructions. He took out an old parchment scroll and wrote one name after another in ink.

Earl coughed again in pain, but still took the parchment roll, picked up the pen on the bed table, and slowly unfolded it.

“Navis, where did your full name come from.”

Navis didn’t understand, but he still said it.

“Navis Dodd.”

Earl nodded, then wrote something on the parchment scroll, and finally put him away and handed it to Navis.

“I’m sorry, I can only do this, I hope your father can forgive me.”

Navis took the parchment in confusion, but his body trembled as if seeing something horrified.

“Bo… Lord Earl, this is not possible, how can I… I am just a farmer’s child.”

“But the child of a farmer won’t always be a farmer, right? Even Stuart’s ancestor is a farmer. Maybe farming is not as good as your father.”

Michel Stuart Earl reluctantly got up from the bed, his silhouette on the verge of collapse, but still stabilized. Navis seemed to be frightened by all this. For a while, he did not support him, just muttering constantly in his mouth. .

“But I…but I’m just a farmer…”

“But it doesn’t matter…”

“Then… why?” Navis looked at Michel in horror, he didn’t understand, there are too many things in this world that he doesn’t understand.

“There are many reasons. For example, those civilians need a hope and a symbol. Even if they die, they will be a guide who can follow them calmly. Of course, once you survive 10000, I don’t want the bastard of Mardell to take over. It’s cheaper.”

“Navis, kneel down!”

A crisp voice interrupted Navis’s fantasies. I don’t know when Michel had already picked up the saber hung on the wall. The blade was covered with scratches from days of fighting, as old as an old man holding a sword. He hunched back like a wounded lion.

Navis hesitated, but in the end he knelt down slowly, trying to calm himself down as much as possible, his cowardly face gradually became firm, and those evasive eyes finally met Michel, and the old man smiled at him.

“They need a Red Knight, not Stuart.”

The sharp blade rested gently on his shoulders. Michel was too old. He couldn’t even hold the sword, leaving a small wound. Navis felt the pain, but he did not move like a sculpture.

“You inherit my will, and I give you glory.”

He was smiling and carrying out this ancient award ceremony.

“Swear to me, child.”

……

After Stuart Earl was sent into the castle, the gate was finally opened again, and the commoners looked forward to the deep darkness inside.

In the past few days, there were 4 rumors. Some people said that Earl was dead, and some people said that Earl had escaped from the secret tunnel. After Mardell led the Knights to escape, the panic was even worse.

But now the door was opened, and the armored Red Knight walked out of it. He seemed to be a little different from the past, but soon everyone found the reason. The smashing Red Knight clenched the warhammer and sword again.

“But we don’t have Knight anymore.”

Someone said to him that now there are only civilians left here.

“Then anyone can take up a weapon?”

Red Knight asked, and countless hands raised their weapons.

“Don’t you think there are still a lot of Knights?”

He smiled replied.

“But we are just farmers, butchers, blacksmiths…”

The man said again.

Red Knight was silent for a while, then raised the sword and gently put it on the man’s shoulder, he looked towards further away, and shouted to everyone.

“Kneel down and swear to me.”

When the swearing sound of 10000 1000 entered the dim room inside, the old man closed his eyes satisfied.

……
