"Please hold on for a while. There is Night Raven Castle ahead, where there is a solid city wall, water and food! We will be safe when we get there!"

In the afterglow of the sunset, a team of knights were galloping back and forth in the wilderness, escorting a team of refugees of hundreds of people, smashing the heads of the undead who were trying to approach.

Each knight's face was covered with smoke and blood, and the shirt with heralds painted on her armor was covered with stains and severely damaged. The female knight who was leading the leader was still encouraging everyone was also in a mess. The blood clot of yellow-green patches mixed in reddish brown had glued her long hair into a hard lump, and the original color was not visible. It was not her blood, but from the licker she killed.

The female knight raised her sword and fell, and the blade accurately cut through the bones of the skeleton soldier's neck. The skull covered in mud rolled to the ground. While she cheered the refugees with her almost hoarse voice, she looked around vigilantly and carefully guarded every suspicious place.

Along the way, this team belonging to the Marquis of Sirne Kadian had already experienced too many battles and was almost at its limit.

Most of the horses under their crotch were exhausted, but they were still whipped by their masters without any pity. Although every whip on the horses was like they were whipped on themselves, the knights had to do so, because they knew that if they did not squeeze the last bit of the horse's physical strength, they would probably be caught up by the undead and swallowed them.

Now every knight and every refugee have the only idea to arrive at Night Raven Castle as soon as possible and sleep peacefully behind the thick walls.

Shirne Kadean retracted his sword and returned to his sheath, looking at the corpses of the skeleton soldiers on the ground with concern. Although this wave of undead was killed by them, God knows how many people are chasing behind him.

Fortunately, their target, Night Raven Castle, is already close, and it will be safe as soon as you arrive there.

At least that should be the case tonight.

"Your Highness, this is this valley. We have arrived! From this valley, it is Baron Eredal's Night Raven Castle. His castle is very strong, surrounded by steep cliffs. Even the undead creatures cannot climb. The only route that can be passed is only one road in front of the valley. Baron Eredal has built three lines of defense in the valley, which is enough to resist most threats."

Shirne nodded. Although he was tired, his eyes were filled with hope.

"In other words, Baron Eredal's defense pressure is not great, and it is very likely that he will support us some staff?"

The knight smiled bitterly and said, "The food in Night Crow Castle is all about a little farmland in the valley. It can't support much of the population at all. It's okay to maintain defense. Can we support us... I'm afraid there won't be too many. Even the most optimistic one is probably the limit of ten people, and it's probably impossible to wear all armor."

Hierne's eyes dimmed and he murmured: "Is that right? Isn't it OK here..."

"Your Highness, what did you just say?"

Shirne instantly changed into a sunny smile, and in order not to let the knights lose their hope for the future, he forced himself to look full of confidence.

"It doesn't matter! No matter how many people can do it, as long as it can help us, it is a strength, at least a good start! We will definitely find reinforcements, the sacred light will be covered by dark clouds, but it will eventually turn out to be clear after the rain! Human beings will win!"

Although she was exhausted by endless battles, for some reason, Princess Hierne's voice seemed to have an inexplicable charm, just like a lighthouse in the darkness, which always makes people involuntarily turn their eyes.

"Humans will win!"

Princess Hierne said to the refugees: "Okay, it's going to dark, everyone hurry up and go to Baron Eredal and have a good sleep next to the warm fireplace! Croto, you take the man's back and make sure not to let the undead hurt one!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, Princess."

"Your Highness, you are such a saint!"

...

Amidst praises, the team entered the valley, but the surrounding environment made people suspicious, and the more they walked, the more they felt something was wrong.

Generally speaking, there will be guards guards at the entrance of the valley to provide warnings for the rear, but now they cannot even see the personal figures. Moreover, the farmlands around them that were originally arable land have now been reborn with weeds!

So an ominous thought came to the hearts of the knights, but no one was willing to say it out loud. Everyone was just walking forward with their last fantasy.

Not long after walking, the weeds around him gradually became sparse, and the knights discovered the wheel marks on the ground. Although they recognized it as the wheel marks, they could not understand what kind of car could make such a wide wheel mark.

"Princess!"

The knights turned their attention to Princess Hierne, hoping that this girl who could be their daughter could make an idea.

Princess Hierne hesitated for a moment and looked back at the refugees who were extremely tired, knowing that they would definitely die if they turned back to the wild in this state.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Since you have arrived here, there is no reason to turn around and leave no matter what. Let's see what happened before."

"I understand, Your Highness the Princess."

The knights were alert to continue moving forward, their nerves were tense to the limit, and everyone held the hilt of the sword in their hands. Once they encountered danger, they could immediately pull out to fight.

"Light! I saw the light!"

A knight said excitedly, "With lights means someone, but the undead will not make fires and light the lights." No matter what the Night Raven Castle has become now, it will be easy to deal with as long as there are people. Even a bunch of robbers cannot communicate, right?"

Although there are many ways to communicate, well, it also includes using swords to communicate.

"Everyone is careful, there may be danger ahead!"

Without lowering his voice like the knight just now, Shirne loudly told the people in the team that if there were only his own guard knights in the team, there would naturally be no need to say anything, especially so loud, which was very easy to be discovered by the enemy. But now there are too many refugees in the team, and those who have no common sense in combat can only use loud shouts to remind them, although this may expose themselves, but there is nothing we can do.

The civilians support knights; the knights protect the civilians. This is a contract passed down since ancient times and is also her belief in Hierne.

The two guards quickly surpassed Hierne and walked in front. They held the weapons in their hands tightly and could take action immediately if there was any disturbance.

"Squeak—Squeak—Buzz—"

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the black shadow on the roadside not far ahead, and then a green light lit up. With the dim moonlight, the knights saw a dark shadow suddenly rising up there.

Just as the knights were about to attack, the black shadow actually spoke in an extremely strange tone!

"The human identity has been confirmed. Warning! You have entered the alert range. Please put down your weapons and report your identity and purpose, otherwise you will be attacked!
