Alien Knights

Randall commanded the surviving soldiers and people to move all the things in the royal city that could be used to defend against foreign enemies to the entrance of the hall.

Precious and heavy marble sculptures were pushed down and blocked the door; gorgeous and expensive fine linen curtains were torn down as drapes.

Randall split his hands hard, dismantled the high throne, and then he threw the pile of wood and cushions, which were the same as other materials, into the position in front of him, using them as sandbags against enemy bullets.

Prepared for all this, he took the surviving soldiers into their positions, the archers stringed their arrows, and the spearmen held their guns tightly.

The waiting time is here, becoming so difficult, a minute seems like a century.

After an unknown amount of time, shouts and footsteps of foreigners came from outside the royal city, and more and more enemies gathered in front of the closed gate of the royal city, and began to beat on the heavy door.

Randall looked at a young soldier of Lone Rock City who was covered in wounds but held his weapon tightly, 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, put on an arrow, and said, "Yes, God has been watching you and me."

The gate of the king's city was pounding heavily, and there was a creaking sound from the hinges of the door, and the suppressed cries of children were heard among the people in the hall.

The gap created by the impact on the door was getting bigger and bigger. Randall slowly raised his bow and aimed the arrow in the direction of the gap.

After a while, a palm-sized hole was hit, and an Ayub Empire soldier put his eyes on the hole, wanting to observe the situation inside.

Randall held his breath, and let go of the bowstring with his right hand. The flashing arrow broke away from the violently vibrating bowstring, and the arrow feathers swayed left and right and shot towards the hole on the gate.

There was a scream and blood spattered.

The imperial soldier who was probing was pierced by the arrow and fell to the ground without making a sound.

After a brief moment of shock, a foreign cry came from outside the door.

Randall put down his bow and said to the soldiers beside him, "Lower your body and get ready, the enemy is coming in."

A few minutes later, there was a burning sound outside the gate.

Immediately afterwards, a violent explosion blasted open the tightly closed door, and a hole appeared on the door panel for two people to pass through at the same time.

After the gunpowder smoke dissipated, the heavy infantry wearing plate armor and holding an iron shield entered the hole shortly. Randall raised his bow and shot an arrow at the first enemy soldier who rushed in.

The arrow drew a graceful curve in the air, piercing the eyes of the heavy infantry again.

However, the death of an enemy cannot affect the will of the enemy army at all. More and more heavy infantry squeezed in through the hole.

Seeing this situation, after ordering the soldiers to shoot a wave of arrows, Randall drew out his long sword and slammed the armor on his chest: "For honor! For faith! Charge!"

The remaining soldiers picked up the weapons in their hands, followed Randall, and rushed into the enemy group that had not yet gained a firm 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 their weapons.

All of a sudden, the imperial army that rushed into the gate was firmly suppressed by this group of defenders who were not afraid of death, and there was a faint trend of collapse.

At this moment, a majestic voice came from outside the door.

The imperial heavy infantry hurriedly moved aside, giving way to the entrance on the gate. Immediately afterwards, dozens of muskets came in from the hole and aimed directly at the unsuspecting defenders.

Intensive gunshots rang out, and a storm of bullets hit the defenders of Lonely Rock City. The fragile human body burst into brilliant blood flowers among the shards of steel, and then withered and withered.

Randall, who had been shot several times in the body, knelt on one knee. He looked at the corpses of the defenders lying beside him, with a glimmer of light in his eyes.

At this moment, a gentle and high-pitched female voice sounded in the hall.

Barbara walked out from the crowd, she sang the hymn loudly, and walked forward without fear.

At first it was just an immature child's voice, and then more and more people joined the chorus.

Old people, children, men, and women stood up one after another. They took out the cross on their chests and walked forward arm in arm. Everyone's face has the color of dust and gunpowder smoke, but there is no trace of fear and panic in their eyes.

Seeing the people getting closer and closer, some soldiers of the empire began to retreat, and some slowly lowered their weapons.

The roar of the imperial commander came from outside the door, and the soldiers looked at each other, hesitating.

A muffled 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 braced his body, stood up, and rushed in front of Barbara, trying to block the next attack with his body.

Intensive gunfire sounded again.

Rows of people fell down, a wooden cross in the hands of a child flew into the air, and finally fell into a pool of blood.

As for Barbara, who was at the front of the line, Randall was one step too late after all...Blood dripped from her body, staining her clothes bright red.

At this critical moment, a roar came from the depths of the royal city. Accompanied by the slightly trembling ground, a strong orc over two meters tall swung his fist the size of a sandbag and rushed into the imperial army. With a single encounter, he smashed a heavy infantry into the air, crushing the crowd outside the door. Soldier.

A werewolf with all four limbs quickly ran to Randall's side, and shouted angrily: "The Holy King! We are one step late!"

The orc who heard this remark, like a mad ancient beast, uttered a loud roar, grabbed an imperial soldier who was too late to escape from the doorway, and tore him in half alive.

The werewolf looked at Barbara in Randall's arms, and with a thought, he put his ear close to the woman's mouth, and then shouted: "Carol, don't go crazy! Come here! She's still alive!"

The orc, covered in blood, turned his head in disbelief, walked quickly to the side of the werewolf, and asked in a low voice, "Aldernan, are you sure?"

"The bullet missed a bit and missed her vitals. However, she can't last long."

Listening to the conversation between a beast and a wolf, Randall woke up like a dream: "I know you..."

Carroll grabbed the knight, pulled him in front of him, and said angrily, "You bastard! This is how you protect Miss Barbara?!"

Aldernan looked at Randall and said with regret: "In the backyard of Wangcheng, there is a secret road leading directly down the mountain, and you don't use it?!"

Randall was taken aback.

He suddenly recalled the last words of Jennings.

"Take the remaining soldiers and people and retreat into the royal city, where is the last hope!" 』

So it is!

Randall hugged Barbara's body, closed his eyes, and smiled wryly. It turned out that hope was always in front of my eyes, but I turned a blind eye.

"The black-armored knight inside! Listen to me!" A half-baked lingua franca came from outside the door: "On behalf of my master, the commander of the Imperial Kasagi Guards, the great General Elim, I send you the final ultimatum!"

"As long as you are willing to surrender to the empire and surrender your armor! My lord will assure you in the name of Allah that everyone inside will die! Otherwise, we will destroy everything here with artillery!"

Aldernan glanced at Carroll: "It's time to go, if you don't go, you won't be able to go!"

Randall looked into Carroll's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Swear to me! You will never hurt Miss Barbara!"

Carroll yelled angrily: "The bastard who hurt Miss Barbara! You have no right to talk nonsense to me!"

Randall laughed.

He reluctantly handed Barbara to Carol, and said solemnly, "Take her and leave here immediately."

Randall looked at the surviving people behind him again, and whispered, "Please take them too."

Carroll hugged 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, Elim, who was guarded by a large number of imperial guards, stepped into the gate of the Royal City of Lonely Rock City.

Looking at the black-armored knight Randall sitting cross-legged in the middle of the hall holding a long sword, Elim frowned and said, "As you requested, I will come to see you in person." (Arabic)

Waiting for the translator to finish speaking, Elim saw that Randall was indifferent, and said: "Among my subordinates, there are also believers in God like you who originally believed in God, but without exception, they finally discovered the true God after converting to Allah. merciful and omnipotent." (Arabic)

Randall slowly raised his head: "If your Allah is merciful and all-powerful, can he help me destroy your army in the face of the infidel?" (Common Language)

Seeing the translator pause for a moment, Elim shouted in displeasure: "What is he talking about?!" (Arabic)

Just as the interpreter was about to speak, the screams and cries of imperial soldiers suddenly came from outside the door.

Elim was furious, raised the whip in his hand, and yelled at the people around him: "Look at which bastard is making trouble?! Bring his head to me!"

Before the words were finished, a soldier with a pale face and trembling legs rushed into the hall and shouted at the top of his voice, "The true god! The true god has descended!"

Elim laughed back angrily: "Let me open your head and see what you're thinking..."

Outside the gate, a gust of wind blew up, and the sky above the royal city was shrouded in a huge shadow, and the original clear sky suddenly turned into cloudy clouds.

Yi Laim looked at the main hall 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 was torn apart.

A huge sharp black claw suddenly appeared, like a sharp knife inserted into tofu, it first tore down the wall of the palace hall of the king's city, and then lifted the entire roof.

The head of the ferocious and terrifying black dragon looms in the muddy sky, overlooking all living beings in the city.
