Christina did not come back, and most of the knights who rushed out were killed. Although they cut down several Turkic flags, when the pagans tied the bodies of the victims to horses and dragged them along the road, the top of the mountain

The morale at the top inevitably dropped to the bottom. Some people gritted their teeth and rushed down again, trying to stop the blasphemy.

Those who were eager for revenge were restrained. After the previous attack, there were only more than a thousand people left on the mountain. If this continued, the pagans would be able to overwhelm the knights in numbers without using bows and arrows.

Arrows like splashing water followed one after another, blocking the possibility of rushing out. The mountain was not big, and the arrows shot by the Turks from both sides perfectly covered every corner. No one could rest, and the wounded soldiers were sent to the center.

, the princess had to help take care of the wounded. Maya was busy, her hands were full of blood, and her dark complexion made it difficult for people to check her condition. When she fell into the haystack without saying a word, people realized

The dark elves have also reached their limit.

In fact, the princess could have retreated long ago, as long as she nodded shamelessly and Emily planned to use it.

As a standard feature when traveling with royal family members, and out of consideration for their own safety, all mages who can afford it will prepare a teleportation scroll in case of emergency.

Although the scroll is expensive and can be said to be made of gold, life is more important. Once you die, everything in this world will have nothing to do with you.

She was unwilling to use it, and I couldn't leave Xiaona alone. The mage poked his head out from behind the knight's shield, and a string of dazzling magic missiles hit a Turkic man at the foot of the mountain. He was wearing an overly decorated armor.

He stopped and waved back, and then he became the mage's target.

The people nearby jumped off their horses and dragged him back, while the people on the mountain could only watch. None of the knights were equipped with longbows or crossbows. Archery was something farmers studied.

Emily's actions angered the Turks. After several rounds of arrows, there was another heavy cavalry attack. The pagans were not stupid. The black and smoking corpses in front of the position taught them a lot, and the attack formation became sparse.

The mage retreated to the center, and the gap left was quickly filled by the spear-wielding cavalry without their horses.

There were still a few hours until the sun set, and she had to save her magic.

Maya was already awake. She was leaning against the princess, her eyes half-closed as if she was drunk. Emily was glad that she was not like these clergy, at least she had used up all her magic and had a small dagger.

What can I do with it? Commit suicide? The imaginary ending is full of bitterness. It doesn't matter, she has already accepted the reality of her own failure, and even her old friend's life and death are unknown.

She saw the Turks surrounding the fallen knight, but she could not see clearly what was going on inside. Those who came down the mountain to fight back were all treated the same way. There were far more than one similar small encirclement, and she could not determine where Christina was.

At least she was not among the corpses dumped at the foot of the mountain. Emily suddenly wanted to cry. She clenched her hands into fists and held back by relying on the nails dug into her palms.

Tears are useless, the men who can still move are fighting for survival, and those who are killed... The places on the mountain are limited, except for the named knights, the bodies of ordinary soldiers can only be pushed outside and allowed to be trampled by horses.

At a critical moment of life and death, no matter how gentleman you are, you can't care about a crying woman. She doesn't have the broad arms to rush in. It would be nice if Leon was here, and Emily let her thoughts wander wildly for a while.

She knelt down next to the princess and put her hands on her shoulders. Victoria didn't seem to feel her touch, she just held Maya in her arms and fiddled with her white hair. Apparently, she regarded the dark elf as someone who comforted her soul.

Toy puppet.

Uncontrollable anger surged into his heart, and the mage grabbed the princess's shoulders and forced her to turn her face to face him.

The girl with brown curly hair had tears on her face. Whenever the sounds of fighting outside were too fierce, she would blink desperately. She had lost her royal aura and was just a scared little girl.

You have led everyone to a dead end! I thought to myself and used force on my hands. Unfortunately, the princess could not feel her anger through the steel shoulder pads.

Maybe I should give her a few slaps, Emily raised her hand. The Praetorian Guards were either fighting or dead. Sir Lancelot was busy directing the defense. No one would care if she swollen the princess's face.

Her hand gently fell on the girl's cheek, and Victoria looked at her blankly.

"Hang on, it's almost night." The rough slap turned into a gentle touch, and the reproachful words disappeared.

When I was as old as her, I did even stupider things, putting my own... Emily laughed for no reason. She bent over and laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe. Victoria looked at her in horror, thinking that the mage was crazy.

.

I gave my virginity to him, but now I can’t remember what he looks like! Emily burst into tears laughing.

"Hold!" was the voice of Steve. There were the largest number of knights on the mountain, and the son of the grand leader became the commander. Since he was shouting, the situation must have reached a very critical situation. Emily squeezed

It was not easy to get into the crowd. She was hit on the head several times.

Looking past the layers of dead bodies in front of the battle and the pagans who stepped on the corpses to attack, Emily selected a Turkic general. The man was wearing a white turban, which was very eye-catching among the black armors. The turban was decorated with

A green gem, the same color as the flag beside him. The poor performance of his men made the general very impatient. He waved his scimitar and jumped and screamed. Emily could not understand and was too lazy to care.

Do you know? You are about to die, and the mage has prepared an extremely miserable ending for him.

The fireball technique may be blocked by the person in front, the magic missile is not guaranteed to penetrate the armor, and the burning hand is too close... Ah ha, the corners of Emily's mouth raised. If someone looked at her at this time, they would definitely be frightened by the ferocious expression.

.

Emily touched the magnet in her pocket, concentrated her attention, and took her attention away from the Turk soldiers struggling to advance on the pile of corpses, and turned her attention to the target at the foot of the mountain.

"Ze, Faye, Zu, Ashi." She raised her right hand, and a green ray passed through her index finger and hit the emerald on the general's turban.

This was pure malice, and worse things were to come. Amidst the frightened shouts of the Guards, the General turned into dust and was blown away by the wind that followed.

The attack stopped on the spot, and the pagans on the mountain and down the mountain rolled and crawled away. If there were still enough horses, the knights could launch a counterattack. There were less than a hundred horses left, and they had to be saved for the princess to break out of the encirclement.

use.

The enemy fled to a distance that could not be reached by the spell and stopped. The siege was still not lifted. However, despite the officers yelling and scolding, even if whips were used, the Turkic soldiers stopped taking action. Emily set a terrifying example.

People want their bodies to be gone and reduced to ashes.

The knights stayed up until the night like this, and Maya also regained her strength. With her dark vision, she will serve as the leader to lead everyone.

The seriously injured were carried onto the horse, and the slightly wounded clenched their weapons. The charge was about to begin at the first command.

The first bonfire was lit at the foot of the mountain. One after another, the torches all over the mountains and plains showed that the enemy was everywhere. The moon and starlight became dispensable, and it was impossible to break out at night.

Victoria once again rejected Lancelot's request to use the scroll to retreat. The knight took advantage of her not paying attention and exchanged gloomy looks with the mage.

Magic that transforms space requires the consent of the caster, or the subject must fall into a state of unconsciousness and be taken away as the mage's belongings.

Sir Lancelot said that he would fight with his men until the end. For the same reason, Steve and Hank also shook their heads. Once again, the woman's wishes were ignored, and Maya was also included in the retreat list. Anyway, she stayed

If she came down, she would definitely suffer a fate more tragic than death. The dark elf didn't know something, but at this moment, she was finally regarded as a "fellow citizen" by the knights of the empire.

The teleportation technique could not take away many people. After thinking that they had protected the princess and the women of their country, the knights all entered a state of open-mindedness, regardless of life or death. The men sat on the grass, sharing the food and wine they had brought with them. That's all.

The supplies will be exhausted by tomorrow morning. At that time, the Turks will be able to defeat the Knights without attacking and relying on hunger and thirst.

"Take a sip, Miss Carrot." Victoria accompanied carefully and offered the wine bag. As the person most responsible for this failure, she was very polite to everyone. At least half of the wounded soldiers were tied up with her own hands.

bandage.

Emily took a small sip and handed it to the nun. Maya only drank some to soothe her throat. The princess shared her secret waffle. The royal princess always had something good that no one else had.

Seeing that the little girl was as humble as a maid, Emily didn't want to blame her anymore. When I was much older than her, I was still stupid and made a big fuss over a man, abandoning my best friend.

It can be regarded as indirectly killing Leon. Although he survived in the end, Emily took a bite of the muffin. Her mouth was too dry and she lost the help of saliva, making it difficult to chew.

"With any luck, reinforcements will arrive tomorrow afternoon." Emily comforted the princess. She really couldn't stand the pitiful sight of Victoria bent over by guilt. If she were to be taken away by teleportation, the princess would probably have a lifelong problem.

shadow.

Victoria's expression brightened, and she even smiled nervously. Maya also cheered up, after all, no one wanted to leave their companions behind.

Yes, if they knew our situation and traveled day and night, it would still be possible.

if.

You are not the only one who leaves these brave people to die and lives with this sense of guilt, my princess. Also left behind is Christina, my good sister, God knows

Is she alive or dead? Has she been raped by the Turks?

Emily grabbed the wine bag from Maya's hand, raised her head and drank it hard, the wine dripping down the corners of her mouth.

Then a sense of anesthesia eased her mood.

It would be even better to have another man, preferably Lyon...
