?Randall commanded the surviving soldiers and people, and moved everything in the royal city that could be used to resist foreign enemies to the entrance of the hall.
The expensive and heavy marble sculptures were pushed down and blocked the door; the gorgeous and expensive linen curtains were torn down and used as drapery.
Randall used his hands to tear apart the high throne, and then he threw the pile of wood and mats, which were the same as other materials, into the position in front of him to use them as sandbags to resist enemy bullets.
Having prepared all this, he led the surviving soldiers into their respective positions. The archers cocked their arrows and the spearmen tightened their grip on the barrel of their guns.
The waiting time here becomes so unbearable that one minute seems as long as a century.
After an unknown amount of time, foreign cries and footsteps were heard outside the royal city. More and more enemies gathered in front of the closed gate of the royal city and began to beat the heavy door.
Randall looked at a young soldier from Lone Rock City next to him who was covered in wounds but clutching his weapon, and asked softly: "Are you afraid?"
The latter swallowed, kissed the cross on his chest, and said, "No, God is with me."
Randall put down the visor of his helmet, picked up the short bow in front of him, nocked the arrow, and said: "Yes, God has been watching you and me."
There was a heavy banging sound at the gate of the royal city, a creaking and whining sound came from the door hinge, and the suppressed cries of children were heard from the people in the hall.
The gap in the door caused by the impact became larger and larger. Randall slowly raised his bow and pointed the arrow in the direction of the gap.
After a while, a palm-sized hole was opened by the impact. An Ayyubid Empire soldier put his eyes in front of the hole, wanting to observe the situation inside.
Randall held his breath and released the bow string with his right hand. The gleaming arrow broke away from the violently vibrating bow string, and the arrow feathers swayed left and right and shot towards the hole in the door.
There was a scream and blood splattered.
The imperial soldier who poked his head was shot through the head by an arrow and fell to the ground, making no sound anymore.
After a brief moment of shock, a foreign shout came from outside the door.
Randall put down his bow and said to the soldiers around him: "Lower your body and get ready, the enemy is coming in."
A few minutes later, a burning sound was heard outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, a violent explosion broke open the closed door, and a hole appeared in the door panel for two people to pass through at the same time.
After the smoke dissipated, heavy infantrymen wearing plate armor and carrying iron shields entered the cave entrance. Randall raised his bow and aimed an arrow at the first enemy soldier who rushed in.
The arrow drew a graceful curve in the air and pierced the heavy infantryman's eyes again.
However, the death of an enemy could not affect the enemy's will at all. More and more heavy infantry squeezed in through the holes.
Seeing this situation, after ordering the soldiers to shoot a wave of arrows, Randall drew out his sword and tapped the armor on his chest: "For honor! For faith! Charge!"
The remaining soldiers picked up their weapons, followed Randall, and rushed into the enemy group that had not yet established a foothold.
Randall took advantage of the strength and speed of the keel to knock down a heavy infantryman to the ground, while the soldiers behind him swarmed up and killed the fallen enemies one by one with weapons.
For a moment, the imperial army that rushed through the gate was suppressed by this group of defenders who were not afraid of death, and seemed to be in a state of collapse.
At this moment, a majestic voice came from outside the door.
The imperial heavy infantry hurriedly moved to both sides to make way for the entrance to the gate. Then, dozens of muskets stretched out from the hole and aimed directly at the unsuspecting defenders.
Intensive gunshots rang out, and the storm of bullets struck the defenders of Lone Rock City. The fragile human bodies burst into brilliant blood flowers among the fragments of steel, and then withered and withered.
Randall, who had been shot several times, knelt down on one knee. He looked at the corpses of the defenders lying scattered around him, with a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, a melodious and high-pitched female voice sounded in the hall.
Barbara walked out of the crowd, singing hymns loudly and walking forward without fear.
At first it was just a childish voice, and then more and more people joined in the chorus.
The elderly, children, men, and women stood up one after another. They took out the crosses on their chests and walked forward hand in hand. Everyone's face was the color of dust and gun smoke, but there was no trace of any trace of love in their eyes.
Fear and panic.
Seeing the people getting closer and closer, some of the empire's soldiers began to retreat, and some slowly lowered their weapons.
The imperial commander's roar came from outside the door, and the soldiers looked at each other, hesitant.
A dull scream came from outside the door, and a cowering Imperial Musketeer was executed by the supervising team.
After a brief panic, the imperial soldiers raised their muskets again and aimed at the advancing people.
"No!"
Randall supported his body, stood up, and rushed in front of Barbara, trying to block the next attack with his body.
Heavy gunfire rang out again.
Rows of people fell down, and a wooden cross in the hand of a child flew into the air and eventually fell into a pool of blood.
As for Barbara, who was walking at the front of the team, Randall was still a step too late... Blood soaked out of her body, turning her clothes into a bright red.
At this critical moment, a roar came from the depths of the royal city. With the ground shaking slightly, a strong orc with a height of more than two meters waved a fist the size of a sandbag and rushed into the imperial army.
A heavy infantryman flew into the air and overwhelmed a group of soldiers outside the door.
A werewolf with all four limbs running quickly ran to Randall's side and shouted angrily: "Holy King! We are a step too late!"
After hearing this, the orcs, like a mad ancient beast, let out a loud roar, grabbed an imperial soldier who had no time to escape from the door, and tore him in half alive.
The werewolf looked at Barbara in Randall's arms, and with a thought in mind, he put his ear close to the woman's mouth, and then shouted: "Carol, don't go crazy! Come here quickly! She's still alive!"
The orc, covered in blood, turned around in disbelief, quickly came to the werewolf's side, and asked in a low voice: "Aldenan, are you sure?"
"The bullet missed her vitals. However, she couldn't hold on for long."
Listening to the conversation between one beast and one wolf, Randall woke up from a dream: "I know you..."
Carroll grabbed the knight, pulled him in front of him, and said angrily: "You bastard! Is this how you protect Miss Barbara?!"
Aldenan looked at Randall and said regretfully: "In the backyard of the royal city, there is a secret passage that leads directly to the bottom of the mountain, and you don't actually use it?!"
Randall was stunned.
He suddenly recalled Jennings' last words.
"You take the remaining soldiers and people and retreat into the royal city, which is the last hope!"
So that’s it!
Randall hugged Barbara's body, closed his eyes, and smiled bitterly. It turned out that hope was always right in front of him, but he turned a blind eye.
"The black-armored knight inside! Listen to me!" A half-baked common language came from outside the door: "On behalf of my master, the commander of the Imperial Kasaji Guards, the great General Elim, I send you the final message.
ultimatum!"
"As long as you are willing to surrender to the empire and hand over your armor! My master will promise you in the name of Allah that everyone inside will be spared from death! Otherwise, we will use artillery to destroy everything here!"
Aldenan glanced at Carroll: "It's time to leave. If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave!"
Randall looked into Carol's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Swear to me! You will never hurt Miss Barbara!"
Carol yelled angrily: "You bastard who made Miss Barbara hurt! You have no right to say such nonsense to me!"
Randall smiled.
He reluctantly handed Barbara to Carol and said solemnly: "Take her and leave here immediately."
Randall looked at the surviving people behind him and whispered: "Please take them with you too."
Carol picked up Barbara and glanced at Randall: "What about you?"
Touching the two bombs he had picked up before, Randall stood up straight and said with a smile: "I will stay and buy enough time for you."

Twenty minutes later, Ilem, who was guarded by a large number of imperial guards, stepped into the gate of Lone Rock City.
Looking at the black-armored knight Randall sitting cross-legged in the middle of the hall holding a long sword, Elem frowned and said: "As you requested, I came to see you in person."
After waiting for the interpreter to finish speaking, Elim saw that Randall was indifferent and said: "Among my men, there are also believers like you who originally believed in God, but without exception, they finally discovered the true God after converting to Allah.
of mercy and omnipotence.”
Randall slowly raised his head: "If your God is merciful and almighty, then in the face of the infidels like me, can He help me destroy your army?"
Seeing the translator pause for a moment, Elim shouted displeased: "What is he talking about?!"
Just as the translator was about to speak, the screams and cries of imperial soldiers suddenly came from outside the door.
The furious Elim raised the riding crop in his hand and yelled at the people around him: "Look who is making trouble?! Bring his headband to me!"
Before he finished speaking, a soldier with a pale face and trembling legs rushed into the hall and shouted at the top of his lungs: "The giant dragon! The giant dragon is coming!"
Elim laughed angrily: "Dragon? Let me open your head and see what happens..."
Outside the gate, a strong wind blew, and the sky above the royal city was shrouded in a huge shadow. The originally clear sky suddenly turned into dense clouds.
Elim looked at the palace of the royal city, where the last ray of sunlight was swallowed up by the darkness. He drew out his scimitar and shouted in a panic: "What's going on? What's going on?!"
As the wind outside became stronger and stronger, the entire hall began to shake violently without warning, cracks appeared on the flat ground, and the ceiling full of murals fell apart.
A huge sharp black claw suddenly appeared, like a sharp knife inserted into tofu. It first tore down the wall of the royal city hall, and then lifted off the entire roof.
The vicious and terrifying black dragon's head loomed in the hazy sky, overlooking all the living beings in the city.
