Proof of the Sun King

"No! No! Oh my God! The Goddess of Mercy is above!" The farmer saw a few black shadows appearing on the horizon, and was so frightened that he almost lost his mind.

I saw a few robbers riding bad horses, wielding battle axes and long bows, rushing towards the family in the middle of the road.

"Run! Run!" The farmer subconsciously signaled his family to run away: "I'll stop them! Run!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! You are the only labor force, this family can live without me, but not without you!" The farmer's father and the boy's grandfather picked up a pitchfork, and the old face was full of determination: "You run away!"

"Quick!!!" After saying that, the old man rushed straight in the direction of the robber.

The two children were still standing dumbfounded, and they still didn't understand what was going on when they were young.

"Grandpa...Grandpa?" The boy froze in place, looking at his grandfather's back: "Grandpa...Grandpa?"

"Run! Lucas! Clara! Woohoo~" The peasant woman took her two children and fled with a mission, and the corners of her eyes were already filled with crystal tears. She knew that her husband's father was using his life to procrastinate.

"Father!!!" The farmer put his mother on the trolley and pushed it with all his strength. This place is not far from Mjordenhaven. As long as he can run for a short time, he may have a chance to survive. .

"Hand over all the valuables!" In the distance, the greedy voice of the robber could be faintly heard.

But the sudden response made the family stunned.

"That's right, I'm talking about you, hand over all your valuables to me! Then... leave your life here!" A knight wearing a full set of chain mail and breastplate suddenly appeared on the roadside. A knight riding on a warhorse with the badge of a white wolf knight on his chest shouted at the bandits who were charging from a distance with a warhammer in hand.

His voice was even more greedy than that of a robber.

"FUCK! It's a white wolf knight! It's a trap! Everyone, get out!" There were five robbers who rushed over. They rushed over after hearing the howling of a child, but they actually met a white wolf knight? !

The leader of the robber was short in stature, armed with a long spear, riding a short inferior horse, and when he saw a white wolf knight approaching in front of him, he was so frightened that he quickly tightened the reins. The robber also threw a dog and gnawed at the mud.

"Give it to me!" Ryan rode past the old man's side, stretched out his hand and snatched the pitchfork from the old man's hand.

"When... Of course, the noble knight!!!" The old man answered subconsciously with his hands empty.

Ryan threw the pitchfork in his hand fiercely, and the pitchfork flying in the air pierced the sound barrier and pierced the first robber's chest, knocking him down from the horse, and by the way brought down the other robber.

"There's no other way but to fight!" At this time, there were only two robbers left. They knew that the poor horses and slender horses they were riding were definitely not as capable as Ryan's war horses, so they could only turn their heads and prepare for a desperate fight. .

Ryan was fast, the two robbers had just turned around, and Ryan had passed by them.

The two heads fell to the ground.

The next thing is very simple, Ryan ignored the robbers' pleading with a smile, filled the remaining three robbers with knives, then picked up the pitchfork and handed it to the old man: "Give it back to you. "

"Thank you... Thank you, Lord White Wolf Knight!" The old man immediately stretched out his hand to take it, and then knelt down very excitedly: "Thank you! You saved our lives, can you be fortunate enough to know your name?"

"My name is Ryan, 'Sledgehammer' Ryan."

…………

When Ryan came to Mjordenhaven, he was leading several horses by himself, and there were still many tattered armors and weapons hanging from the horses.

If these things are sold on the black market, they should be able to sell for a good price, Ryan thought.

Ryan was in a pretty good mood when he thought of making a lot of money without breaking a sweat.

He likes robbers the most.

Because if the other party is a robber, Ryan can justifiably become a real "robber" and directly seize everything from the other party through violence. For Ryan, he is a knight of the kingdom, and he is obliged to maintain the law and order in his country, so what he did Everything is legal.

Unlike the robbers he let go when he was in Huodalan Mountain before, those robbers were villagers who couldn't survive. They were forced to be robbers because of their helplessness. In this case, Ryan killed a few leaders and left the rest. The villagers whose consciences are still in their hands will be dismissed, which is an ideal result.

But for this kind of robbers who specialize in robbing houses on the road and attacking passing travelers and farmers, Ryan believes that there is no need for mercy. Letting them go is just a return to the mountains. For such a murderer whose hands are stained with the blood of innocent travelers and villagers. Said that the only mercy is to Dhamma them on the spot.

Then their ill-gotten gains are theirs.

The good mood didn't last long. When he noticed the situation at the city gate, his original mood was completely dissipated.

Groups of soldiers were running constantly on the city wall, and various defensive equipment was assembled and reinforced. The non-commissioned officers shouted loudly at the soldiers to hurry up. spy.

The barbarians are here! This is the information Lane got from the villagers he met earlier.

"Crushing Bear" Bireg rushed into the hinterland of Nord with more than 4,000 barbarian troops, burning and looting everywhere. Since almost all the troops were on the front line to resist barbarian attacks, Nord's internal defense was empty. By the time the king finally turned his forces around to deal with Bireg, the barbarian army had carved a **** road in Nord.

Yesterday, Mjordenhaven received a tip from the front line that the bear tribe led by Birig was heading straight for Mjordenhaven! It seemed as if something in the port city was drawing them madly.

The city that received the alarm went into full-scale martial law. Soldiers who had not fought for a long time continued to gather. All the conscripts gathered under the messengers of the lord and count, and received weapons from the arsenal.

Ryan cut the line into the city very easily, but before he could walk a few steps, a group of heavily armed soldiers surrounded him, and the army chief dismounted, walked to Ryan, and gave him a military salute: "Hello! Mr. 'Sledgehammer' Lane, Knight of the White Wolf! It is a great honor to meet you, and our Lord Earl Albert Baker invites you to join us in the ongoing military meeting."

"Of course, but please allow me to go back to the hotel and settle down." Ryan knew that this was preparation for battle.

"Okay, we'll be waiting for you here."

Hurrying back to the hotel, Ryan found that the sorceress was sitting in the lobby waiting for him, wearing black tight leather pants and high-heeled boots with long legs raised: "Ryan? Why are you coming back now? Let me tell you, the barbarians are moving towards here comes..."

"I know." Ryan put down his things in a hurry, and then handed over all the ill-gotten gains he had seized to the innkeepers. Most of these innkeepers had some dark ways to deal with these things.

"So, Ryan, we can't wait for the boat to go out to sea anymore. I talked to Sister Dietlinde. Let's build a teleportation array, go directly back to Skydome Castle, and then use the teleportation array there to go directly to Marienburg?" Teresa immediately stood up and followed him upstairs: "What do you think?"

Only then did Ryan notice that the lobby was full of people, from businessmen to citizens, shopkeepers and farmers. Everyone was discussing the barbarian invasion, and everyone's faces were full of tension: The barbarians are coming!

"That's the way to go. There is no stable teleportation array here. If you want to build it yourself, the cost of it may be higher than what you commissioned this time, right?" Ryan hurried to the third floor, Trey Sha followed closely behind him: "But you know, this city has already recruited a lot of defenders because of the war, and now even if the levies are added, the defenders will not exceed a thousand people! This city is very It may not be able to hold!"

"And the militia." Ryan opened the door of his room and said lightly.

"Military? What can those peasants do, they are only responsible for sending death..." Teresa was only halfway through her words, and suddenly closed her mouth subconsciously.

She had promised Ryan that she would treat everyone equally.

"I'm going to the pre-war meeting now." Ryan didn't refute her on this point, because Teresa was actually right, and that was all the militia could do. The man reached out and patted the sorceress's shoulder: "If you don't want to, then you can teleport directly back to Skydome with Lady Dietlinde! I am a knight of Nord, and I must fight to defend my country!"

"No, I'll stay and fight the enemy with you!" The sorceress rejected the man's suggestion.

"...Thank you." Ryan nodded: "Where are Alfred and the others?"

"The paladins have already gathered at the Church of Justice. In this defense of the city, no one can stay out of it." Teresa replied calmly, and then watched Ryan leave in a hurry.

Earl of Mjordenhaven, "Tax Collector" Earl Albert Baker, was standing in his three-story castle, and his two knights were standing in front of the map, checking the situation of the battle.

Albert is a middle-aged man in his forties. His appearance is relatively feminine and gentle. He is not a rough man like Villard. He has dark circles in his eyes and an unhealthy flush on his face.

Standing with him are his two knights, Nicky, nicknamed "Walnut Knight", and Valdemar, nicknamed "Bamboo Rider".

"I really don't understand, why are these **** coming towards Mjordenhaven? I really can't think of any reason for them to come to us? You must know that they are so close to Winter City It's over!" Albert first scolded, when he just received the tip, he couldn't believe why Bireg came to his own territory, you know, Mijordenhaven is located on the west coast of Nord , has a natural mountain range as a defense, and it is only four or five days away from the empire's territory. Not only that, there is also a pass on the way to Mijordenhaven - Oak Pass.

"According to the intelligence of the scouts, Bireg's order was issued without warning. His troops were originally heading for a direct attack on Winter City after destroying several villages, but... the bearmen tribe suddenly abandoned Most of the capture, the forced march is coming towards Mjordenhaven!" Walnut Knight Nikolai is an elite mid-level ranger with medium to long hair, his weapons are a mace and a large bow on his back.

"The problem now is that our garrison strength is not enough!" Bamboo knight Valdemar is an elite high-level knight with a small size. He likes to use lances and fire guns. These two knights are not the official members of the Knights. They are members, and their strength is very average, because the most powerful knight under the earl of Mjordenhaven is participating in the war against the barbarians in the north.

Mjordenhaven originally had a standing army of 500, but after the king issued a summons order, Mjordenhaven responded to the call and dispatched a large number of troops to the front line. Now the standing army in Mjordenhaven is less than 300 people, even if it is an emergency If all the conscripts are recruited, it is also a big problem whether they can make up a thousand defenders.

But the barbarian army has a total of 4,000 people!

"Anyway, when is it expected that Bireg and his **** bearman tribe will arrive under the city walls?" Albert knew that it was useless to wonder why the barbarians suddenly rushed towards his territory. God knows those heretics are thinking what are they?

"The defenders of Oak Pass will try to delay Bireg's footsteps so that Miyodenhaven can improve its defense as much as possible..." The walnut knight Nikolai frowned, his face was full of grease, obviously he had just eaten it Meat.

The Oak Pass is built on the mountain, and it is the only way between Miyodenhaven and Winter City. Miyodenhaven has not been on alert because of the barbarian invasion before, and it is this pass that is relied upon.

"Oak Pass has only two hundred defenders, and we can't count on them being able to delay Birig's footsteps for long~www.wuxiahere.com~ My knights, tell me, at worst, the Bearman When will the Horde arrive under my city walls?" Albert waved his hand and signaled that he didn't need to count those who were there or not.

"The fastest...the morning after tomorrow, thousands of barbarians will arrive in Mjordenhaven." Bamboo knight Valdemar thought for a while and gave an answer.

The room fell silent.

At this moment, the guard standing at the door stood at attention and saluted, and then Ryan walked in: "Hello, Your Excellency Albert!"

"Hello! White Wolf Knight Ryan, I'm Albert, Earl of Mjordenhaven. Welcome to your presence. We need your strength at this critical juncture." Albert immediately stepped forward to greet him.

After briefly describing the current situation, the four stood in front of the map again.

"Lion, you have participated in many wars with the barbarians. You know their combat power best. If we use our current strength, can we defend the city?" The lord and earl put his eyes on Ryan for help.

"Then tell me how much power this city has."

"The city can still gather about three hundred soldiers. In addition, if all the conscripts are recruited..." Albert set his eyes on his secretary.

The clerk came up: "There are about 600 conscripts registered in the register."

"What about the veterans?" Ryan asked.

"Even if you include retired veterans, there will be no more than 800 people at most." The secretary replied.

Ryan was silent for a long time, and finally spoke in Albert's expectant eyes, his voice was a little obscure.

"Call up all the militiamen."
