"Citizens of the Empire! Speed up! Let's go home!" Lord Lafitte Anthony's eyes suddenly turned red. Home... such a distant word, home is a distant place in their memories, they don't even have it.
I have never seen home, but there is only a dream-like country and a powerful army that have been passed down orally from generation to generation...
"Go home? Sir, are we going back to the empire?"
"Sir, are we really going back?"
"Great! Finally we have national asylum!"
Lord Lafitte Anthony looked at the people following him with tears in his eyes... Empire... such a familiar yet unfamiliar word.
"Although it's a pity, I have to say that the empire has disappeared in the long river of history... The only thing that exists now is the Kingdom of Lagrand!" A pioneer knight looked at the moved people and although he didn't want to disturb them, he still chose to speak.
, after all, the current situation should be somewhat different from what they thought.
"It's okay...it won't be any worse than it is now..." Lord Lafitte Anthony shook his head. The honor of the nobles still allowed him to insist on treating the people kindly, but they have been wandering for too long...
When people have lost hope, there is no light in the eyes of the common people. The quality of the only rapid infantry that can be trained is of worrying quality. In addition to the knights who accidentally awakened independently over the years, this group of imperial survivors can survive.
However, the knights have already fallen into a predicament of inactivity. If there is a slight mistake, the knight's inheritance may be lost. After all, their highest third-level knight only has the skills of ordinary second-level knights.
"Well..." The pioneer knights fell into silence. They looked at these ordinary civilians with disheveled faces, and a feeling of sadness emerged in their hearts.
…
In the end, these people's cleaning up lasted for nearly a day, and it was already evening, and these civilians showed up carrying large and small bags...
The knights and heavy cavalry who had gathered outside were almost tired of waiting, and then they saw the civilians walking out of the low wall.
"Dragon God...are they lifting up the land?" The knights and heavy cavalry frowned. Are the ones over there carrying dead wood serious? And the aunt carrying a pile of firewood...
…What kind of monsters are these?
"Are these people serious? It's almost dark now!" The leading knight looked at Lord Lafitte Anthony with an unhappy expression, hoping to get an explanation.
"The family is short-sighted. It is easy to spread out the stalls but difficult to put them away... These ordinary people are eager to seize all available resources around them. They are used to living a hard life. Please forgive me..." Lord Lafitte Anthony said with a smile.
"..." The vanguard knight took a deep breath and said he was speechless. He couldn't possibly send troops to drive those civilians out, could he?
"Let's go at night! Everyone has long been used to it. The people scattered in the north are not so squeamish!" Lafitte Anthony saw the knight's displeasure and quickly took the initiative to speak. After all, he was not sure about this now.
Regarding the attitude of the country that was born from the corpse of the empire towards them, even though Lafitte Anthony is a member of the Dragon Rider family, he does not have much weight without riding a dragon. It is hard to say whether they will give him face or not.
"It's not safe at night. This is not an area controlled by the kingdom!" the pioneer knight thought for a while and refused.
"It doesn't matter, there should be no one who can stop us along the way. After all, the deterrence of the Knights is still very powerful. I don't think the orcs will be mentally paralyzed to attack a civilian team under the protection of the Knights. That would outweigh the gains and losses..."
Lord Lafitte Anthony analyzed the situation to the leading pioneer knight.
"It makes sense. I was convinced by you, but it's not enough for us to take risks. His Highness's order is to bring you back safely. I don't want unnecessary casualties caused by pursuing speed..."
"Don't worry! There are 300 rapid infantry here, as well as 17 knights. Among the remaining people, there are many good players like Orion! We can protect ourselves! If it doesn't work, you can ask the heavy cavalry to go with us!
” suggested Lord Lafitte Anthony.
After all, everyone understands that the knights need to keep moving to maintain speed to ensure that they can charge into the enemy formation at any time. Therefore, the knights basically move at a trot, but the heavy cavalry is different.
The iron fist of power! But without the blessing of fighting spirit, they simply cannot keep their horses and themselves in motion for a long time. Therefore, the heavy cavalry is almost jogging slowly except during battle. After all, the iron cans that charge by inertia do not need to be kept high.
speed.
"Okay! Then let your people keep up, and I will open the way for you in front! These heavy cavalry will help you clear the obstacles along the way! If you can't keep up with our speed, remember to send someone to notify us!" Pioneer Knight
warned.
"Okay!" Lord Lafitte Anthony nodded. This arrangement is indeed very reasonable. They also need someone to eliminate dangers along the way.
…
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Nyx looked at Roland who was standing on the balcony looking into the distance and poked him with his hand.
"... Huh." Roland shook his head and said nothing. He just looked at the system light screen that he could see, which showed that his support incident had been successful, but it had been four days and no one had appeared.
"Stop blowing outside, the late autumn wind is cold!" Nyx put a leather cloak on Roland and said with concern.
"Yeah!" Roland pulled Nicks into his arms and rubbed it a few times, making Nicks feel full of spring and his eyes were blurred...
"Are you satisfied?" Roland gently pressed his finger on her forehead and said softly.
"Well...if I ignore you, you will cause trouble!" Nyx ran in, covering his face that was red with embarrassment.
"Hehehehe..." Roland looked at the unknown liquid in his hand and laughed in a way that all men understand.
…
"Crackling~" The bonfire at the top of the city was burning brightly. Several patrolling guards were leaning on the city wall to warm themselves over the fire. Although the fatigue in their eyes was undisguised, these soldiers who were loyal to their duties still insisted on standing guard.
"Hmm... um!" Suddenly an older city guard stood up. He slowly poked his head out and looked carefully.
"What's wrong, Brother Richard?" Several other people lowered their voices and looked at him.
"Dekai! You have good eyesight! See if there is anyone in front of you?" Richard pointed at a soldier and said. This soldier is a second-level Badanian shooter, and his vision is sharper than others.
"What's wrong?" The Badanian shooter who became Dekai poked his head out.
"Just now I heard the sound of horse hooves, it seemed like..."
