Chapter 34: Burial of Loyal Souls

If there is the first escape, there will be the second. This escapee set an example for other defenders. They didn't want to face the terrifying enemy anymore. They turned around and ran towards the stairs of the city wall, and quickly escaped from the city wall. .

Of course, the knights did not hesitate and immediately chased after her. However, while the armor on them provided her with extraordinary defense power, it also slowed down their speed.

Although they didn't have time to pursue them, the city wall was already under the control of the Morland army.

Reiner also boarded the city wall of Korburg at this time. Even though the sun was good at this time, the temperature was still extremely low. He licked his lips that were somewhat chapped due to the cold, and said to the soldiers who had completely controlled the city wall : "Keep going! After conquering the main castle, 30% of the loot will belong to you, and you can take the women in the castle as you please!"

Although Reiner was a little shameless about things like burning, killing and looting, he knew that soldiers in this era were like this. They were soldiers when they were fighting, but sometimes they could do things that even bandits couldn't do.

Although he wanted to tighten military discipline, his prestige had not been able to suppress these soldiers before, and even if he issued an order, it might be ignored.

What's more, at this time, this kind of behavior is also very morale-boosting, and Leiner doesn't mind the soldiers doing this kind of thing.

Anyway, most of the female family members in the castle must be relatives of the Gwen family, which is very common here, because the maids in the castle of the Moreland family are the daughters of his relatives or some squires.

They hope that their daughters can find a good marriage in the baron's castle. Even if they don't succeed, the girls who come out of the baron's castle will attract the most people. They all have knowledge and manners, and their speech and behavior are different from ordinary people. Girl, many knights' wives were born as noble maids.

The soldiers who heard the news felt as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They yelled and howled like ghosts and wolves, and they came to the front of the main castle with noisiness along the way.

There is also a gate made of solid wood on the main castle, and it has perfect defensive measures, which can be called easy to defend but difficult to attack.

However, no matter how perfect the defense measures are, they must be defended to be effective. The defenders in the castle were all defeated on the wall, and there was not a single defender in the huge main castle.

Mrs. Gwen had regained her senses at this time, her eyes were bloodshot, she held her and Baron Robbean's son in her arms, and said to the shivering clerk beside her, "Go and talk to Baron Rainer. Negotiate! As long as I can keep the territory, I am willing to pay any price!"

"I have to hand over the territory to my son intact!" she said.

"Yes ma'am, I'll do it now!" The clerk said in a hoarse voice, but he didn't know what to do in his heart. Negotiations need a hole card, and only two parties who are not too far apart can negotiate. .

But now that there is not even a soldier in the castle who can fight, what qualifications do they have to negotiate with each other.

He looked at the trembling maids gathered in the hall, and couldn't help but feel sore. He had served the Gwen family for forty years, and a huge family that had ruled for hundreds of years was facing the predicament of being destroyed at this moment. .

"Just let me...be loyal to the Gwen family again..." He sighed in his heart, and resolutely walked out of the sad hall.

"Hello, dear Baron Reiner, I believe you have some impressions of me!" The clerk came out of the main castle with a hanging basket from the window, and saluted Reiner in a hoarse voice after landing.

"Ah, yes, Mr. Clerk! I don't know what you want to do here?" Reiner looked at the clerk who came down from the basket with great interest and said.

"It is such my lord baron, my mistress,

The wife of Baron Lobean, I hope to make peace with you. She is very sorry for what my lord has done, and I hope you can forgive it. She is willing to pay any price for this.

"Ha! Reiner laughed arrogantly and said: "Please understand my old clerk, your master has launched a sneak attack on my territory, and I am just copying your master's behavior now, The Holy Father said, My people should respond to hatred with an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye, and blood for blood! I am following the will of the Holy Father! There is no doubt that Goldberg will be my territory! "

"Is there no room for negotiation?" He asked pleadingly, hoping to get an affirmative answer from Reiner.

Reiner couldn't bear to look at the old man's appearance, but after all, it was about his own interests, so he hardened his heart and said, "There is no room for negotiation! I am sure to win Goerburg!"

After listening to Reiner's words, the clerk seemed to be drained of all his strength, and said in a low voice: "Okay, I understand what you mean, I have served the Gwen family for forty years, and I also I don't have any children, and my whole life is dedicated to the Ge Wen family, since the Ge Wen family is about to perish, why not let me accompany it to perish together!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and saluted Reiner: "I offend you, Lord Baron!"

Reiner watched the dagger in his hand slowly approaching his chest, his lips moved, wanting to say something, but in the end he still couldn't say it.

Although he has only been in this world for four months, he understands that this is the loyalty and righteousness that belong to knights. He does not understand or understand, let alone practice the so-called principles and ethics of knights.

But he understood that it was as important as the lives of the knights.

Perhaps there will be many scum in this class, but there are still many knights who abide by the promise they made at the beginning, and there are not no clerks like them.

He pressed the dagger to his chest. He was also a knight back then, but when he was old and frail, he voluntarily gave up his fiefdom and returned to Gorburg to work as a clerk for the Gwen family.

"I've been fighting for the Gwen Family all my life, please forgive me for being so rude and cool in front of you!"

After finishing speaking, when he exerted force on his hand, blue veins bulged on the back of his hand. It could be seen that he was a brave knight when he was young.

With the flow of blood, after a painful expression flashed across his face, there was finally a hint of relief on his face. If the sadness in his eyes was ignored, his life was finally settled. Maybe it was his The most suitable home.

Slowly collapsed on the ground, his breathing gradually stopped. His death may be the most honorable way for a knight. It is not dying from a sick bed, but being wounded from the front, which is equivalent to being killed on the battlefield. .

The knights present pulled out their long swords from their waists and automatically formed a line, holding the swords in front of them. Those who were not wearing helmets also put on their helmets at this moment, and a tragic atmosphere pervaded the entire main castle.

The same is true for the Scarlet Griffin Knights. Although they are characters from another world, they are also knights, knights who regard honor and loyalty as life.

Reiner also slowly pulled out the long sword from his waist and placed it in front of him. Although he didn't understand the other party's righteousness, such a person is always worthy of respect. For some reason, when the other party inserted the short sword into his chest At that moment, he felt a little sad in his heart.
