The Sun King's Evidence

"No! No! Oh God! Goddess of Mercy!" The farmer saw several black shadows appearing on the horizon and was so frightened that he almost lost his mind.

I saw a few bandits riding bad horses, wielding battle axes and long bows, rushing toward a family in the middle of the road.

"Run! Run!" The farmer subconsciously signaled his family to run away: "I'll stop them! Run!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! You are the only laborer. This family can live without me, but it cannot live without you!" The farmer's father and the boy's grandfather picked up a pitchfork, with determination on his old face: "You guys run away!"

"Hurry!!!" After saying that, the old man rushed straight towards the direction of the robber.

The two children were still standing blankly. They were so young that they still didn't understand what was happening.

"Grandpa... Grandpa?" The boy froze on the spot, looking at his grandfather's back: "Grandpa... Grandpa?"

"Run! Lucas! Clara! Wuwuwu~" The peasant woman took her two children and ran away with mission, with crystal tears already filling the corners of her eyes. She knew that her husband's father was risking his life with his own life. Delay time.

"Father!!!" The farmer put his mother on the trolley and pushed it with all his strength. This place was not far from Miljödenhaven. As long as he could run for a short period of time, he might have a chance to survive. .

"Hand over all the valuables!" In the distance, the greedy voice of the robber could be faintly heard.

But the sudden response stunned the family.

"That's right, I'm talking about you. Hand over all your valuables to me! Then... leave your life here!" A knight wearing a full set of chainmail and breastplate suddenly appeared on the roadside. A knight was riding on a war horse, with the White Wolf Knight badge hanging on his chest, holding a war hammer and shouting at the bandits charging in the distance.

His voice was even more greedy than the robber's.

"FUCK! It's the White Wolf Knight! It's a trap! Everyone, get out!" There were five bandits who rushed over. They heard the child's cry and rushed over, but they actually met a White Wolf Knight? !

The leader of the bandit was short in stature, holding a spear, and riding a short bad horse. When he saw a white wolf knight coming in front of him, he was so frightened that he tightened the reins quickly. As a result, the bad horse, which had poor reflexes, fell down and fell down. The robber also beat the dog and chewed the mud.

"Give it to me!" Ryan rode a horse and rushed past the old man. Without any explanation, he stretched out his hand and snatched the pitchfork from the old man's hand.

"Of course... of course, noble knight!!!" The old man replied subconsciously with his hands empty.

Ryan threw the pitchfork in his hand fiercely. The pitchfork flying in the air broke through the sound barrier and pierced the first robber's chest, knocking him off his horse and knocking down the other robber.

"We have no choice but to fight!" At this time, there were only two robbers left. They knew that the inferior and inferior horses they were riding were absolutely inferior to the ability of Ryan's horse, so they could only turn the horses' heads and prepare to fight to the death. .

Ryan's horse was fast. The two robbers had just turned around and Ryan had already passed by them.

Two heads fell to the ground.

The next thing was very simple. Ryan ignored the robbers' pleading with a smile on his face. He repaired the remaining three robbers with knives, then picked up the pitchfork and handed it to the old man: "Give it back to you. "

"Thank you... thank you, Mr. White Wolf Knight!" The old man immediately reached out to take it, and then knelt down very excitedly: "Thank you! You saved our lives. Are you lucky enough to know your name?"

"My name is Ryan, Sledgehammer Ryan."

…………

When Ryan arrived at Miljödenhaven, he was leading several horses by himself, and there were many tattered armors and weapons hanging on the horses.

If these things are resold on the black market, they should be sold at a good price, Ryan thought.

The thought of making a lot of money without any effort put Ryan in a good mood.

He likes robbers best.

Because if the other party is a robber, Ryan can legitimately become a real "robber" and seize everything from the other party directly through violence. For Ryan, he is a knight of the kingdom, and he has the obligation to maintain public order within the boundaries of his country, so what he did Everything is legal.

Unlike the bandits he let go before in the Hordalan Mountains, those bandits were villagers who couldn't survive. They had no choice but to become bandits. In this case, Ryan killed a few leaders and left the rest. The villagers who still have their consciences are dismissed, which is a more ideal result.

But for these bandits who specialize in robbing homes on the road and attacking travelers and farmers, Ryan believes that there is no need for mercy. Letting them go is just to let the tiger go back to the mountain. For this kind of murderer whose hands are stained with the blood of innocent travelers and villagers, He said that the only mercy would be to punish them on the spot.

Then their ill-gotten gains are theirs.

The good mood did not last long. When he noticed the situation at the city gate, his original mood completely disappeared.

Groups of soldiers were running continuously on the city wall. Various defensive equipment were assembled and reinforced. The non-commissioned officers loudly shouted at the soldiers to hold on tight. At the same time, they strictly interrogated those who wanted to enter the city, looking for possible barbarians. spy.

The barbarians are coming! This is information Ryan obtained from the villagers he met previously.

"Crushing Bear" Birig led more than 4,000 barbarian troops into the hinterland of Nord, burning, killing and looting everywhere. Since almost all the troops were on the front line to resist the barbarian attack, Nord's internal defenses were empty. When the king finally transferred his troops to deal with Berig, this barbarian army had already carved a path of blood in the territory of Nord.

Yesterday, Miljödenhavn received a tip from the front line that the bear tribe led by Birig was heading straight towards Miljödenhavn! It seems that there is something in this port city that is attracting them crazily.

After receiving the warning, the city entered total martial law, and soldiers who had not fought hard for a long time continued to gather. All conscripts gathered under the messengers of the lord count and received weapons from the weapons depot.

Ryan jumped in and entered the city very easily, but before he could take a few steps, a group of heavily armed soldiers surrounded him. The leader of the army dismounted, walked up to Ryan, and saluted him with a military salute: "Hello! Mr. White Wolf Knight ‘Sledgehammer’ Lane! It is a great honor to meet you. Our lord, His Excellency Earl Albert Baker, invites you to attend the ongoing military meeting.”

"Of course, but please allow me to go back to the hotel to settle down." Ryan knew that he was preparing for battle.

"Okay, we'll wait for you here."

Hurrying back to the hotel, Ryan found the sorceress sitting in the lobby waiting for him, her long legs in tight black leather pants and high-heeled boots raised: "Lian? Why are you coming back now? Let me tell you, the barbarians are heading towards Here we come…”

"I know." Ryan put down his things in a hurry, and then handed all the ill-gotten gains to the hotel owners for disposal. Most of these hotel owners had some dark ways to deal with these things.

"So, Ryan, we can no longer wait for the boat to go to sea. Sister Dietlind and I talked about it. How about we build a teleportation array, go directly back to Sky Castle, and then use the teleportation array there to go directly to Marienburg?" Teresa stood up immediately and followed him upstairs: "What do you think?"

Only then did Ryan notice that the lobby was full of people, ranging from businessmen to citizens, shopkeepers and farmers. Everyone was discussing the barbarian invasion. Everyone's face was full of nervousness: the barbarians are coming!

"There is no other way. There is no stable teleportation array here. If you want to build it yourself, the cost may be higher than the reward you commissioned this time, right?" Ryan rushed to the third floor, Trey Sha followed closely behind him: "But you know, this city has mobilized a lot of defenders because of the war. Now even if levies are added, the defenders will not exceed a thousand people! This city is very small. You might not be able to defend it!”

"There are still militiamen." Ryan opened the door to his room and said calmly.

"Militia? What use are those peasants? They are only responsible for death..." Teresa was only halfway through her words when she suddenly closed her mouth subconsciously.

She had promised Ryan that she would treat everyone equally.

"I'm going to attend the pre-war meeting now." Ryan did not refute her on this point, because Teresa was actually right. There was only so much the militiamen could do. The man reached out and patted the sorceress on the shoulder: "If you don't want to, then teleport directly back to Sky Castle with Ms. Dietlind! I am a knight of Nord, and I must fight to protect my country!"

"No, I will stay and fight against the enemy with you!" The sorceress rejected the man's suggestion.

"...Thank you." Ryan nodded: "Where are Alfred and the others?"

"The paladins have gathered at the Church of Justice. No one can stay out of this battle to defend the city." Teresa replied calmly, and then watched Ryan leave in a hurry.

Count Albert Baker, the "Tax Collector" of Miljödenhaven, was standing in his three-story castle. He and his two knights were standing in front of the map, checking the battle situation.

Albert is a middle-aged man in his forties. His appearance looks more feminine and gentle. He is not a rough man like Velarde. He has dark circles in his eyes and some unhealthy flushing on his face.

Standing with him were his two knights, Nikolay, nicknamed the "Knight of the Walnut," and Valdemar, nicknamed the "Knight of the Bamboo Pole."

"I really don't understand why these bastard barbarians are coming towards Miljödenhaven? I really can't think of any reason for them to come to us? You have to know that they are already very close to Winter City. "It's gone!" Albert cursed first. When he just received the tip, he really couldn't believe why Berig came to his territory. You know, Mjordenhaven is located on the west coast of Nord. , with natural mountains as defense, and it is only four or five days away from the empire's territory. Not only that, there is also a pass on the way to Mjordenhaven - Oak Pass.

"According to the intelligence from the scouts, Birig issued this order without any warning. His troops were originally heading to directly attack Winter City after destroying several villages, but... the bear tribe suddenly abandoned it. Most of the captured troops are marching toward Mjordenhaven!" Walnut Knight Nikolai is an elite mid-level ranger with medium-long hair. His weapons are a mace and a large bow carried on his back.

"The problem now is that we don't have enough defensive strength!" Valdemar, the bamboo pole knight, is an elite high-level knight with a small body. He likes to use lances and fire guns. Neither of these two knights are regular members of the knights. They are members, and their strength is very average, because the most powerful knight among the Earl of Miljödenhaven is participating in the war against the barbarians in the north.

Miljödenhavn originally had a standing army of 500 people, but after the king issued a call-up order, Miljödenhavn responded to the call and dispatched a large number of troops to the front line. Now the standing army in Miljödenhavn is less than 300 people, even if it is an emergency If all the conscripts are recruited, whether they can gather a thousand garrison is also a big problem.

But the barbarian army has a total of four thousand people!

"Anyway, when is it expected that Birig and his damn bear tribe will arrive under the city wall?" Albert knew that it was useless to worry about why the barbarians suddenly rushed towards his territory. God knows what those heretics were thinking. What are they?

"The defenders of Oak Pass will try their best to delay Berig's footsteps so that Mjordenhaven can improve its defenses as much as possible..." Walnut Knight Nikolai frowned. His face was full of grease, and he had obviously eaten just now. Meat.

Oak Pass is built on the mountain and is the only way from Mjordenhaven to Winter City. Mjordenhaven was not on alert due to the invasion of barbarians before because it relied on this pass.

"There are only two hundred defenders in Oak Pass. We cannot hope that they can delay Berig's footsteps for a long time. My knights, tell me, according to the worst case scenario, when will the Ursine tribe arrive at me? Under the city wall?" Albert waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to count those who were there or not.

"At the fastest...thousands of barbarians will arrive at Mjordenhaven the morning after tomorrow." Valdemar, the bamboo pole knight, thought for a while and gave an answer.

The room fell into silence.

At this moment, the guard standing at the door stood at attention and saluted, and then Ryan walked in: "Hello, Sir Albert!"

"Hello! White Wolf Knight Ryan, I am Albert, Count of Miljödenhaven. Welcome to your arrival. At this critical moment, we need your strength." Albert immediately stepped forward to greet him.

After briefly describing the current situation, the four people stood in front of the map again.

"Lian, you have participated in many wars with the barbarians. You know their fighting power best. If we use our current strength, can we defend this city?" The Lord Count turned his attention to Ryan for help.

"Then you have to tell me how much power this city still has."

"This city can probably gather about three hundred soldiers. In addition, if all the conscripts are recruited..." Albert focused on his secretary.

The secretary came up and said, "There are still about 600 registered conscripts."

"What about the veterans?" Ryan asked next.

"Even if we include retired veterans, there will not be more than 800 people at most." The secretary replied.

Ryan was silent for a long time, and finally spoke under Albert's expectant eyes. His voice was a little obscure.

"Call up all the militia."
