Also, please return to Blackrock Fortress as soon as possible.
The soldiers of the Blackrock Legion must be waiting for you, their lord and commander, right?
You are our pillar of strength!
-----------------
Shift in perspective.
Arriving at the lord's manor, at Vivi and Lancelot's residence.
at this time.
Vivi hugged Lancelot tightly.
The girl looked up at her childhood sweetheart, who was now much taller than her.
She pleaded with him:
"Lance, bad guys are coming! Let's run away together!"
good or not? "
After hearing this, Lancelot looked down at Vivi.
A strange, scarlet mark appeared on her forehead.
Lancelot already sensed that the villains Vivi was referring to were the same band of thieves who had killed their parents and destroyed their hometown.
That gang of bandits was not only Vivi's nightmare, but also Lancelot's nightmare.
Although he has advanced to the mid-stage Black Iron Rank Knight, his physical training has undergone tremendous changes.
However, a shadow always loomed over his heart.
When he guessed that the bandits were about to appear in Blackrock Territory, he felt an instinctive fear, shrouded in shadow.
Then, his body began to tremble.
Fear then gave rise to a strong obsession: to escape!
But just as this obsession was about to overwhelm his consciousness...
"Boom!"
"Boom!!"
"Boom!!!"
The long, blaring alarm bell pulled him back to reality.
It's a battle readiness signal!
To Lancelot, the sound of the alarm bells conveyed the message that the army was assembling.
this moment.
The image of a handsome blond youth appeared in his mind.
At the same time, the words he had spoken when they first met echoed in my mind:
"Lancelot, please remember this!"
Since you've shown the resolve to become my knight, yet still cling to the obsession of saving Vivi.
So what you need to do is to keep the promise you made.
If you can't do this, no matter how great your future achievements, you'll never be a qualified knight.
When Lancelot recalled his resolve to become Arthur's knight, he immediately extinguished his fear and dread.
Back to the present.
He knew what he had to do next.
He first spoke softly to Vivi, who was embracing him:
"Weiwei, we'll all be alright."
Because Lord Arthur is here; he is the knight who protects everyone.
Having said that, Lancelot stood up.
Are you going to leave me?
Vivi grabbed Lancelot's hand and stared at him expectantly.
"Don't worry, I'm just leaving temporarily."
Lancelot lifted Vivi off the bed.
"The Lord's Manor is on the path to the sanctuary, so you'll need to meet up with everyone from Blackrock Territory later before leaving together."
I will work with Lord Arthur to buy everyone time to escape.
"But......"
Lancelot reached out his hand and made a pinky promise with the person he cherished most:
"Weiwei, I promise you, I will definitely come to find you later."
-----------------
A quarter of an hour passed.
Return to the gates of Blackrock Fortress.
The soldiers of the Black Rock Legion were all fully equipped and ready to go.
Directly in front of them is...
Arthur Field, the Lord of Blackrock and Commander of the Blackrock Legion, is clad in crimson armor and rides a jet-black warhorse.
He raised the Flaming Heart Sword high and shouted:
"Soldiers of Blackrock Territory!"
The land we have protected for generations is now being trampled upon!
Please hold your swords and shields firmly.
Fight for your family, fight for your friends, fight to defend Blackrock Territory!
Chapter 93 Close Combat Readiness
The impassioned pre-battle speech concluded.
Inspired by Arthur's emotions, the Black Rock Legion soldiers, lined up in formation, all straightened their backs with high morale.
They all looked up, focusing their gaze on the handsome, blond young man with an imposing presence.
In their hearts, Arthur Field was not only the master of this land, but also the pillar of their unwavering will during battle.
When Arthur sensed the trust in the soldiers' eyes, he knew he carried a heavy burden and had a great responsibility.
then.
He mounted his equally fully armed warhorse, the early-stage second-tier Dark-haired Nightshade, and swiftly advanced towards one of the soldier ranks.
Soon, he arrived before his corps' vice commander, Lancelot.
He stared intently at Lancelot:
"Lancelot, step forward!"
"To!"
Lancelot, entrusted with this critical mission, immediately knelt down before him.
Arthur didn't waste any words and gave him the tactics:
"You shall immediately lead 120 soldiers to the key location of Frostraven Town, set up a battle line, and defend against any bandit enemies that may attack from the main passage at any time."
"Roger that!"
Upon receiving the order, Lancelot immediately rose and nimbly mounted his ordinary warhorse.
Then, as he turned his horse around, he directed the soldiers lined up behind him to begin their operation:
"First to Eighth Combat Teams, listen up! Proceed immediately to the main road of Frostraven Town!"
"receive!!!"
Accompanied by a powerful announcement of orders, more than two-thirds of the Black Rock Legion's soldiers set out in a grand procession.
They left Blackrock Fortress in an orderly and coordinated manner.
Arthur watched as Lancelot led most of the Black Rock Legion soldiers out of his sight.
He then turned to look at the remaining two combat groups of the Black Rock Legion present.
He decided to entrust this small force of over thirty men to another trustworthy knight.
That was Gawain.
Think about this.
He has already come to Gao Wen's side.
Upon seeing his arrival, Gao Wen immediately knelt on the ground as well.
With his left hand pressed against his right breast in a knightly salute, he asked the question:
"Lord Arthur, what should I do?"
Arthur answered him:
"Gawain, you will lead the ninth and tenth combat teams to help evacuate the civilians in Frostraven Town and guide them toward the Lord's Manor."
There is a safe escape route there.
However, Gawain did not immediately accept the order after hearing it.
Instead, he looked troubled and hesitated to speak.
Arthur blinked; he understood Gawain's thoughts:
"You think your combat strength is high enough, and you want to fight the enemy head-on like Lancelot to gain merit, instead of evacuating and guiding ordinary people in the rear, right?"
“Uh…yes, Lord Arthur.”
After Arthur pointed out his thoughts, Gawain did not lie and honestly admitted it.
Arthur's face showed slight anger at this, and he continued in a heavy tone:
"Gao Wen, don't think that evacuating the masses is a simple task."
On the contrary, this may be even more challenging than the direct confrontation mission Lancelot accepted.
Because the enemy we face is not a savage monster, but a cunning bandit.
They were extremely vicious, burning, killing, and looting many towns inhabited by civilians.
Lancelot could only guarantee that the main force of the bandits would not quickly break through the first line of defense he was guarding.
However, there's no guarantee that a small number of cunning bandits will bypass him and wreak havoc in Frostraven Town.
Arthur paused here, then stepped forward and patted Gawain on the shoulder before continuing:
"Therefore, I hope you can take on this thorny task and ensure the safe evacuation of the ordinary people of Frostraven Town."
"At that time, I'll leave it to you to deal with those bandits who might roam the towns and wreak havoc."
Arthur's patient and persuasive teachings made Gawain instantly realize his ignorance and foolishness.
He felt incredibly ashamed.
But soon.
He then transformed this remorse into his resolve and solemnly made a promise to Arthur:
"Lord Arthur, I swear a knightly oath to you that I will do everything in my power to protect every civilian in Frostraven Town."
We will certainly not let you down.
After saying that, he got up and led the ninth and tenth combat teams of the Black Rock Legion to run towards the Frostraven Town Square.
