Start with Island Lord

Eleven o'clock in the morning is lunch time.

The smoke lingering over the Full Moon Hill has not yet cleared up, but 20 Crescent Knights have already gathered in the fodder warehouse on the south side of the Crescent Castle.

Everyone looks young and strong, with an average age of less than 30 years old.

A group of people form a semicircle, surrounding two people in the middle.

One is Rosen, and the other is Knight Commander Codling.

Kaedlin lowered his voice and said: "The forest elves in the mountain forest have been the enemies of our human race for generations, but Alais betrayed us and became the accomplice of the forest elves!"

"He helped the forest elf assassinate the old lord, and then tried to help those aliens enslave us. He is the most shameful traitor!"

As soon as these two sentences came out, the faces of the Crescent Knights showed a look of shared hatred.

Alais doesn't have a good reputation on the island.

He is indeed a high-level warrior with good strength, but he is cruel to the weak and cowardly to the strong. He is an out-and-out rogue.

They were originally dissatisfied with Alais occupying the Crescent Castle, and now the eldest son of the baron has returned.

He was as tall and strong as the old baron, and he also had a noble temperament that the old baron did not have. He even sneaked into the castle himself and rescued Cowdling.

This courage and ability impressed every Crescent Knight present.

Rosen also took a step forward and said in a solemn voice: "Crescent City not only belongs to my Saxon family, but also to every Crescent Knight, and even more to our human race."

"Now, the alien race has put the knife on our necks. We have no way out but to fight to the death."

The Crescent Knights listened carefully, with tragic looks on their faces, indicating that they were mentally prepared to die in battle.

But then, the young lord changed his subject.

“But remember, we are not alone.”

"When I was in Dawn City, thanks to the blessing of Mother Nature, I got the favor of Princess Dawn."

"Now, the princess's loyal warriors are waiting outside the city. As long as we open the castle door, they can rush in and fight alongside us!"

These words made the Crescent Knights present, including Codling, somewhat confused.

Codling subconsciously asked: "Lord, what does the princess's favor mean? Did the princess take care of you?"

The other Crescent Knights looked at the new lord in confusion.

Rosen shook his head: "No, it was the princess who married me."

"."

The Crescent Knights looked at each other, feeling like they were in a dream.

Rosen didn’t want to explain much, because the following facts would explain it for him.

He continued: "Next, we have to rush out, seize control of the castle gate from Alais's cronies, and then lower the gate drawbridge."

"This is very dangerous, and someone will lose their life at any time, but I swear in the name of Mother Nature that I will fight side by side with you until the last moment!"

"Now, for Crescent City!"

The Crescent Knights all clenched their weapons tightly and responded with deep voices.

"For Crescent City!"

"Set off!"

Rosen walked out of the fodder warehouse first.

As soon as he took a few steps, Knight Codling caught up with him, two steps ahead of him, and used his body to protect the right side of Rosen's body.

Immediately afterwards, several more Crescent Knights rushed up and protected him firmly in the middle of the crowd.

In the simple belief of the island warriors, knights can die in battle, but lords cannot.

The death of a knight in battle is the best proof of courage and loyalty, and his family will be taken care of by the lord.

But if the lord is dead, then the knight's struggle will be meaningless.

A group of people gathered together. After coming out of the forage warehouse, many knights and attendants followed, each closely following the knight they served.

On average, each knight will bring three attendants, so the team of 15 people suddenly grew to 60 people, and suddenly became very eye-catching.

But no one has found them yet.

Because Rosen opened a low-level fog barrier.

The effect of this spell is to create a white mist around the crowd, shrouding the people inside and blocking the vision five meters away.

Its invisibility effect is not as good as the intermediate invisible curtain. When it blocks the enemy's vision, it will also block your own vision.

But every Crescent Knight present was very familiar with the route to Crescent Castle and had no worries about getting lost.

Under the cover of white mist, they quickly crossed the somewhat narrow open space and arrived near the castle gate.

The gate is an important part of every castle, so it is naturally guarded by trusted people.

At this moment, the gate is guarded by the so-called "Alpine Knights". The reason why it is called the Alpine Knights is because the fiefdom of Sir Alais is Alpine Town.

A Crescent Knight quietly introduced him to Rosen.

"The chief of the gate guard is a high-ranking knight named Savadi. His weapon is an iron spear. He is very skilled in martial arts. He is a powerful man. He came out, and the red-haired one is him!"

Savadi walked out of the barracks next to the gate with an iron spear in his hand, and cursed and shouted: "It's noon, why is there such a heavy fog?"

Before he finished speaking, the Knight's Guardian Sword in Rosen's hand flew out like lightning and cut straight into Savadi's unprotected neck.

'when! ’

Savadi waved his iron spear and blocked the magic sword at the critical moment.

After all, he is a high-level knight, and his combat intuition is very sharp.

But that's all.

‘Poof~’

A rune dagger followed the magic sword and pierced Savadi's heart, sending the red-haired knight to hell.

There was another flash of cold light, and the magic sword and dagger quickly returned to Rosen's hand.

Feeling the shocked gazes of the Crescent Knights, this was exactly what Rosen wanted, because the island knights admired the strong the most.

He immediately shouted in a low voice: "Half of the people go to open the door, and the other half will fight with me!"

"Yes, Lord!"

The response of the Crescent Knights was obviously much more powerful than before.

At the same time, the movement of the gate finally alarmed the defenders in the castle.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Woo~~~~~"

The deep sound of the conch was blown.

'Ka La~ Ka Da~ Ka Da~~~'

Amid the sound of the wooden hinge wheel, the heavy and huge iron-framed suspension bridge fell down bit by bit.

It must fall down bit by bit. If it falls down all at once, the suspension bridge is likely to be broken into two pieces by its own weight. Not only will it be in vain now, but it will also be very troublesome to repair it in the future.

The movement of opening the door alarmed all the castle guards.

"Here~~Here~~Someone is opening the door!"

"It's so foggy, I can't see anything!"

"Hurry up and shoot~shoot at the gate~shoot everyone to death!"

Suddenly, a hoarse roar came from behind.

It's Sir Alais!

This guy has run out of potions, but he still has some tricks. He actually plans to shoot Rosen to death with arrows when the situation is unclear.

There are really many archers who don't know the situation and start shooting arrows at the fog.

But because the situation is sudden, there are not many archers gathered, so the rain of arrows is sparse, with only a dozen arrows, the highest strength is only intermediate, and the target is not clear.

What's more strange is that a very secretive strong airflow appeared above the white fog, which swept all the arrows away.

It was Levin who was hiding in the dark who quietly took action.

At the same time, Rosen dispersed the white fog barrier and showed his figure.

He shouted loudly.

"Crescent Warriors, your lord is back!"

At the same time, he raised his Knight's Sword and fired three consecutive Light of Light spells into the sky.

This was the action signal agreed upon by him and the Flame Legion.

Less than three seconds after the signal was sent, a huge thunder was heard coming from the hillside, which was Yopp's response to him.

These unexpected movements immediately stagnated the archers' offensive.

Many archers who originally belonged to Crescent City stopped shooting arrows immediately.

The archers of Gaoshan Town wanted to shoot again, but most of them were stopped by the Crescent Archers on the side.

So, the rain of arrows became very sparse and was still decreasing rapidly.

As the white mist quickly dissipated, the situation at the castle gate became clear.

A large number of warriors rushed in from all directions in the castle, estimated to be more than 700.

These warriors filled the narrow space behind the gate.

There were sixty warriors on his side, more than twenty of whom were still busy opening the door, and the other forty or so were using the simple shields they had found temporarily, or simply wooden boards, to surround Rosen in the middle.

Knight Kaudrin stood on the right side of Rosen's body, holding a large round shield wrapped in thick cowhide in his hand, which he had found in Knight Savadi's room.

He roared loudly to the warriors who were rushing in: "Warriors of Crescent City, the real lord is standing behind me, Rosen, the eldest son of Baron Ted!"

"Are you going to point your swords at your lord?!"

With this roar, at least half of the warriors in the crowd showed hesitation.

The archers also stopped completely.

And anyone with eyes could see at a glance that the young man behind Kaudrin was the eldest son of the old baron.

Because the two looked so much alike.

"They are lying, shoot quickly, shoot them to death!"

Ales stood behind the defenders and urged loudly.

The Crescent Warriors did not listen to him, but the Alpine Warriors were incited again to attack Rosen.

Seeing this, Rosen directly controlled puppet No. 2 to take a few steps and stand on a high place, making himself completely exposed to everyone's vision.

He shouted loudly.

"Warriors of the White Sturgeon Island, are you going to attack the Supreme Lord?"

At this moment, all the defenders saw his appearance clearly.

Full face, tall and strong body, exquisite brand-new armor and magic tools, weapons shining with cold light, condensed a majestic temperament of being high above.

This appearance is really too outstanding, giving people the feeling that he is a natural lord.

In contrast, Sir Alais in a worn-out leather armor is simply a down-and-out country vagrant.

The Crescent Warriors didn't like Alais from Gaoshan Town very much, and felt very ashamed in their hearts.

Now that the legitimate heir has returned, he still looks so majestic, and they are immediately very impressed.

After a momentary pause, at least half of the Crescent Warriors turned their backs on the spot and turned their weapons to aim at Sir Alais.

The remaining half of the Crescent Warriors also lost their will to fight.

Sir Alais's confidants, the mountain warriors, also stopped attacking, with many confused expressions on their faces.

After all, the other party was a legitimate baron lord. If he was a waste, it would be fine, but now it has greatly shaken their confidence.

So, the strength of Rosen and Sir Alais changed from 60 to 700 to more than 200 to more than 500 in a blink of an eye.

Alais seemed to have some advantages, but not absolute advantages, and even had a huge disadvantage in morale.

The two sides confronted each other in the open space in front of the gate, and the drawbridge of the castle gate was halfway down.

Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more favorable for Rosen, suddenly, a loud 'bang' sound came from the defenders, and an iron arrow drew a light red battle spirit in the air and shot directly into Rosen's heart.

It was a fatal cold arrow.

'Dang~~~~'

Another loud sound appeared.

Rosen stood there without dodging or avoiding, and only used the magic sword in his hand to block the cold arrow with one hand.

'Um~~~'

Everyone subconsciously exclaimed.

Using a melee weapon to block the cold arrow head-on is the most dazzling and dangerous operation on the battlefield.

And this new lord not only succeeded, but also did it calmly, which made people have to admire it.

If such a lord is still a waste, then everyone present is a waste!

Therefore, this eldest son of the baron should be the supreme lord of the White Sturgeon Island.

Rosen felt the subtle change in the attitude of the island warriors, and this was exactly the effect he wanted.

He looked at the crowd of defenders, among whom there was a white-haired knight who had not yet put down his iron bow.

His face was full of shock.

Knight Kaudrin immediately rushed up, protected Rosen behind him, and roared at the white-haired knight.

"Goodman, you despicable traitor!"

That man was Goodman, one of the three Crescent Knights.

And this despicable cold arrow, and Rosen's powerful move of blocking the arrow with a sword, immediately made 80% to 90% of the Crescent Warriors stand on Rosen's side.

The number of both sides became 400 to 400.

There were only nearly 300 high mountain warriors, two betrayed Crescent Knights and their few diehards still standing beside Sir Alais.

The strength of the two sides was almost a draw.

But this was not a good thing.

Because the venue was very narrow, if the two sides really fought, it would easily become a tragic meat grinder battle.

Rosen didn't want the Crescent Warriors loyal to him to be lost in vain.

Because the real enemy was the forest spirits in the mountains.

So, he looked at the short and strong man behind the castle garrison again and asked loudly: "Uncle~~What are you fighting against your lord for?"

Sir Alais looked at Rosen with complicated eyes.

He wanted to say that you were a waste, but this reason was bankrupt.

So, he actually had no legitimate reason to fight Rosen.

Originally, he could threaten the other party's mother and sister, but they were nowhere to be found.

Or he could take the blessing of the dragon and forcibly kill Rosen, but this powerful potion was also gone.

So, he knew that he had failed.

But he also knew very well that with what he did, there was no room for retreat. Once he put down his weapons, it meant that he was completely finished.

As his thoughts turned, he also saw Rosen's concerns and grinned.

"My good nephew, since you are back and have learned a lot of good skills, I am completely relieved."

"You are the new lord, I will take my warriors back to Gaoshan Town immediately."

As he spoke, he gripped his weapon tightly and looked ready to fight desperately.

If Rosen really returned alone, then unless Levin attacked secretly, the way to minimize losses would be to let Alais go.

But Levin is Rosen's biggest trump card at the moment, and he will never show it to the public unless it is absolutely necessary.

However, he did not return alone, and he had already written the ending for this cheap uncle.

With a "boom", the iron drawbridge of the castle gate was completely lowered, and the gate slowly opened.

Outside the gate was the Flame War Corps that had already lined up neatly.
