Because of the big crisis of the invasion of dark creatures, Nalant basically stayed in the castle for the next few days to practice and prepare for war.
As for people's livelihood issues such as patrolling the territory, we can only consider them after solving this life-and-death crisis.
Time flies and a week later comes.
The castle restaurant, which is more than 80 square meters, is rectangular and looks empty and quiet. The only drawback is that the current restaurant does not have enough decorations. There is only an old copper chandelier hanging above the head, which obviously cannot highlight the wealth of the lord.
At this time, Narante was sitting alone on the long table with a knife and fork, enjoying his dinner.
"Sir, Captain Vivian reports that the small holes you ordered to be dug have been completed, and Captain Quaker has also invited Lord Anthony!" Butler Thomas walked into the restaurant quickly.
"Well, it should be almost time!" Nalant nodded after hearing this.
Boom boom boom!
And at this time, several explosions suddenly came from the sky, accompanied by bright lights that followed the explosions from time to time!
"It's begun!" Nalant murmured, putting down the knife and fork in his hand. The biggest crisis in the Storm Territory will finally appear with tonight's meteor shower.
"Thomas, remember, you are not allowed to open the castle door later without my order!" Nalant stood up and warned Thomas again.
"Yes, sir!"
After receiving the response, Nalant walked out of the restaurant holding the sword at his waist.
Tonight, Nalant was fully armed. Not only did he wear chainmail and leather armor, he was also equipped with a small buckler and a helmet on his left wrist and head.
Coupled with the long sword at the waist, this standard military uniform weighs at least twenty kilograms.
In the past, Nalant would have felt strenuous wearing this equipment, but now he walked steadily and easily.
Because just last night, Nalant finally gathered enough fire attribute fighting spirit, planted a fighting spirit seed in his body, and became a powerful and extraordinary titled knight.
"Meet the adults!"
"Meet the adults!"
When Nalant arrived outside the castle, Quick and Vivian had been waiting with guards for a long time.
Everyone was a little surprised when they saw Nalant's fully armed appearance.
Antony felt even more uneasy when he saw Nalant like this. If he hadn't been outside the castle at this moment, he would have mounted his horse and left.
"Lord, I wonder why you came to me so late?" Anthony asked carefully.
"Anthony, tonight is the night of shooting stars. I just invite you to come to the castle to enjoy the shooting stars!" Nalant replied with a smile.
Anthony's face turned dark when he heard this, thinking that Nalant was entertaining him, "I'm sorry, Lord, as a civil affairs officer, I'm quite busy with affairs. Since the Lord has nothing to do with me, I'll take my leave now!"
With that said, Anthony was ready to leave.
"No, sir, a large meteor shower is falling towards us!" At this moment, someone among the guards suddenly shouted.
Afterwards, everyone looked towards the sky in horror.
Although they had seen meteor showers appear before, this is a scene that occurs every week. Although everyone was nervous, they could still remain calm.
But it was different now. There were actually twenty or thirty meteors falling towards them in the meteor shower.
"It's over! It's over!" The guards' faces turned pale, and their hands and legs could not help but tremble.
The only person in the field who could remain calm was Nalant, because he knew exactly how many creatures would invade tonight, and even the landing place was less than 200 meters away from the castle.
"Is this the land of doom? We have only been here for more than a week and we have encountered such a large wave of dark creatures!" Anthony looked at the large group of meteor showers falling in the sky and was also trembling. How did the previous lords die?
He also knows it.
"Sir, it's dangerous here, go back to the castle quickly!" Quick and others reacted and prepared to follow Nalant back to the castle.
"No, Quik! The experiences of four lords have told us that hiding in this dilapidated castle to deal with dark creatures will not survive! So..." As he spoke, Nalant looked at everyone one by one.
Sweeping it across, he then pulled out the long sword from his waist with a clang.
"So, our only chance tonight is to kill all the dark creatures when they land and before their strength has fully recovered!"
After the dark creature lands, whether it is due to the impact it received when it landed or other factors, it will basically be weak for five minutes.
The strength of the dark creatures at this time will be reduced by half, so if Nalant wants to eliminate the dark creatures tonight, this is his only chance.
Boom boom boom!
At the moment when Narant raised his sword high, meteor showers finally hit the ground one after another, and the loud roars continued to make everyone's heart tremble.
"Crazy! Narant, you are crazy! Just you have ten guards and ten serfs who don't even have leather armor?" Anthony looked at Narant as if he were a fool.
"Anthony, I don't care what your purpose is in coming to Stormland, but in order to survive, I hope you can obey my orders. You don't have to participate in the battle, but I will temporarily requisition your five guards!" Nalant finally said.
The reason why I asked Anthony to come.
Although Anthony is not a thing, his five guards are from the Earl's guard team. They are not only well-trained, but also fully equipped with weapons and leather armor.
"Impossible, I won't accompany a lunatic like you to take risks. Even a real baron may not be able to resist twenty or thirty dark creatures. How can you, a jazz lord with no fighting spirit? Besides, Narant, your
There are only twenty subordinates and serfs in total, this is simply asking for death!" With that said, Anthony was about to get on his horse.
"Anthony, do you think you can run away now? Look ahead, the road is already blocked by dark creatures!" Nalant had known for a long time that this guy would not give in so easily, so he invited him to the castle gate in advance.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sure enough, when Anthony looked outside the castle, the crater he had just landed in had completely blocked the way out.
The castle of Nalant was not built on flat ground, but on a separate hill.
The nobles who originally built this castle cut away all the earth and rocks around the hill, leaving only a gentle slope more than ten meters wide in front of the castle as a passage.
In this way, even if there is no moat, the steep cliffs with a drop of more than 30 meters around the castle will prevent enemies from attacking from all sides.
Similarly, if Nalant and the others want to leave the castle now, they can only go down the forty to fifty meter long gentle slope in front.
The dark creatures had begun to slowly crawl out of the crater at this time. If Anthony ran over, he might be surrounded by the dark creatures.
Narant thought that Anthony would be honest under such circumstances.
However, Narant still underestimated Anthony's fear of death, or he underestimated Anthony's bottom line. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Anthony made a plan and targeted Narant's guards.
"You people, do you really want to seek death with this lunatic Narant?"
"Let me tell you, dark creatures are extremely terrifying, let alone take the initiative to attack. Even if we defend within the castle, the never-repaired gate cannot withstand the attacks of dark creatures. This dilapidated castle has been breached four times!"
"So, if you want to survive, now is your only chance. Everyone, run away with me and rush out together!" Anthony is preparing to encourage Nalant's guards to escape together. Only when everyone rushes into the dark creatures together can he rely on his body
The horse escaped safely.
"Anthony, you are looking for death!" Narant was shocked by Anthony's shamelessness. Seeing the time gradually passing by, Narant was obviously impatient.
"Isn't it? Think about why there are so many dark creatures attacking. Is it because your Lord did not kill the Lady of Doom?" Anthony was not afraid of Nalant's threat at all and hid in the cave.
Behind his five bodyguards, he continued to speak encouraging words.
"Anthony, let me ask you one last time, will you obey orders?" Nalant was really angry. If he continued to talk nonsense, he would ruin his career.
"Narant, don't even think about it. The five of you protect me, and you can escape with me. If you don't escape, it will be too late. Don't die with such a useless lord! If it weren't for the count's decree this time, he would be just a human being.
Poor second son of the baron, he doesn’t even have fighting spirit..."
"If you want to die, then I will help you!" Nalant said no more. The next moment, a red aura suddenly appeared all over his body and he directly hit the five guards in front of Anthony.
The fighting spirit of Narant was no longer something that the five guards could resist. In an instant, several of them were knocked to pieces, and Narant's figure came directly in front of Anthony.
"You...you...how could..."
puff!
Without giving Anthony any chance to react, in his horrified eyes, the sword pierced directly into his chest.
"Are you talking about fighting spirit? Sorry, I am already a titled knight!"
