A strange world

Chapter 278 Chapter 131. The troops are approaching the city

Annan, who was forced to give up contact with the Snow Mountain Fortress, returned to Xingyue Bay without stopping, but the enemy's scouts were just as quick. After the white dragon carrying Annan fell into the square, the guard captain said that traces of scouts were found in the forest.

"Gama's scout?"

Annan's black hair was blown back by the strong wind from high altitude, which caused pedestrians around the square to shout Jack's name.

"Glacier Port has been quiet for a long time. They should be from the Loyal Knights."

"Have you caught those scouts?" Annan waved in response to the enthusiastic residents and walked towards the Lord's Mansion.

"No, none of us can deal with them."

The development of Xingyue Bay is quite abnormal - a town with a population of nearly 10,000 people has a ten-meter city wall that made the scouts exclaim "What the hell is this?" There are no nobles and rich people, and there are no private soldiers to support. There are only 500 recruits who have not yet experienced battles and dozens of professional residents. But one blue dragon, twelve white dragons, and more than a hundred large elements make the epic profession Patients may also experience scalp numbness. Assuming that invaders besiege Xingyue Bay, the portal will make them doubt their lives.

"Then ignore them."

Della and the elf rescued from the dungeon are just professionals and may not be able to catch the scouts.

"Is everything going well for the Janna family?" Ingrid came over.

Annan's mind was filled with their frenzy as if they wanted to eat him, and he said normally: "It went pretty well. Now only the Diatra family and the Barros family are left."

"Let's talk about the Loyal Knights." Annan sat on the sofa in the living room and asked Abby to prepare some drinks.

"They are the knights stationed on the border."

Annan and Ingrid looked at Lilith standing on the stairs at the same time. "They only obey the kingdom, the royal family, and their Grail Knights."

"The Holy Grail Knight is here too?" Annan asked.

"The Holy Grail Knight will only stay in the capital when there is no mission."

Ingrid looked at her: "How do you know?"

"Everyone in the royal capital knows it." Lilith, who came from the royal capital, stepped down the steps. "The Loyal Knights are one of the three major knights on the border of the kingdom."

"You just told us now..."

"Because you are wary of me and refuse to say anything to me." There was no complaint or dissatisfaction on Lilith's delicate cheeks, only rational talk: "I just found out that they are members of the Knights."

Annan would believe that Lilith still left her in the Lord's Mansion, but Ingrid and the others were not so naive and easily believed in a stranger... or perhaps Annan was the freak.

"How difficult is this loyal knights to deal with?"

"They're all elite."

Annan's shock at this moment was like a few silver coins suddenly swelling into dozens of gold coins after being exposed to magic.

Ingrid no longer maintained her calmness and confidence: "A knighthood composed of elites...how could there be such a knighthood?"

"Is this strange?" Lilith said, "They are the knights stationed on the border. No one can order them except the king and the Holy Grail Knights."

But now, such a knightly group, one of the strongest combat forces in the kingdom, is coming towards Xingyue Bay.

"Can we negotiate with them?" Annan asked.

"I don't know, but in the style of the Knights... they will catch you first, and then consider whether to listen to you." Lilith stood in front of the living room, "I suggest you better get out of here. They just want to catch you. You will not embarrass your territory."

"no."

Annan refused. Because it was urgent to unite the Twelve Kings of the North, he could not escape like a mouse.

There are about 150 large elementals in Xingyue Bay, city walls, and the support of Breeze City, so they may not be unable to compete with the Knights.

"Okay, but remember to take me with you when you leave. Also, there are a few books in the library."

"Hundreds of books aren't too many..."

"I've finished reading it all." Lilith returned upstairs.

Annan looked at Ingrid: "Is this true?"

"Well, she always ran to the library the past few days."

The topic returned to the crisis of the Knights. Annan agreed to put Xingyue Bay into a wartime state. All workers in the mines and forest farms were withdrawn, and only the farmland in the east remained unchanged. A group of soldiers were selected to form a Guards to guard the lord's palace. In addition to the Warden, Della had the additional position of Captain of the Guards.

The biggest impact on Annan is that he can no longer run around. Who knew there were a few scouts sneaking into Xingyue Bay. So other than running to the blue dragon's lair, the only option was to tame the white dragon with the boy.

In the next few days, Breeze City poured the city wall layer by layer day and night. Not to mention the elite knights, the master knights cannot break down these ten-meter-high and two-meter-wide solid walls.

Annan thought that Breeze City would block the Knights in the east, but Olmedo said that they had bypassed Breeze City.

It seems that the Loyal Knights know that Olmedo is on their side, and Annan will face the threat of the Knights "alone"...

An elite guard with more than a dozen elites came to Xingyue Bay through the portal.

"This is not enough," Olmedo said.

"I know, I will move all the mercenary halls in Breeze City here if necessary."

Annan told Olmedo not to worry. He should be able to hold on to Xingyue Bay and resist this knightly group that can easily trample any city-state.

The white dragon ascends high into the sky, tracking the Knights' location. When it came back, the boy looked frightened: "Peter was found...it said there was a terrible mage among the knights...it almost couldn't come back. Those knights are coming soon."

"That should be the chief mage of the Knights, usually an epic mage." Ingrid said. She asked Lilith a lot about the Knights these days.

"But why are they so fast?" Annan was puzzled. It only took them less than three days to get from Breeze City to Xingyue Bay...

"Because you built the path."

Without cement roads, it would take them several more days.

Annan summoned everyone to the Lord's Mansion, and a dispute broke out. He wanted to let the large elements fight against the Knights, but Ingrid, the Guard Captain, and Francois and Fast who were far away on the New Initial, all opposed him.

"You want your guards to never see blood?" Ingrid said.

"We need to fight," said the captain of the Guards.

"I know you want to protect everyone, but life never lets you choose good or bad, it only gives you bad and worse," Francois said.

"A quiet life will not give birth to heroes, only blood and war will create epics." Fast said.

Annan had no choice but to agree with them and let the immature recruits step onto the city wall.

Dang——dang——dang——

The dust kicked up by the knights appeared at the end of the horizon. In the quiet dusk of Xingyue Bay, the clock tower echoed with the rapid ringing of bells.

…

"The way we came, this high wall... buried the bones of many hard workers."

The general, whose dark golden armor was engraved with a male lion, looked at the rising city wall and whispered: "You are right, Annan Reeves is already the reverse king..."

The bearded man came to the forefront holding the reins, pointing his sharp spear at the figure on the wall:

"Surrender! Or be destroyed!"
