I have a shelter

The artificial lake connected to the long river on one side of the manor. When George and others left the garden, there was a stone bridge over the river.

At this time, George and others reined in the horses' hooves and stopped at the edge of the forest. Without the obstruction of trees, the wide garden square opposite the stone bridge and the burning manor appeared in front of them.

The withered yellow grass and trees in the garden now have only residual flames left. But when the fire was at its most ferocious, the fire snake rushed into the manor castle house, causing thick smoke to billow from several of its windows. And in a warehouse behind it, the fire was soaring into the sky, and the sky was red.

The autumn wind blows, and the burning grass and trees are flying all over the sky, rekindling, and there are sparks flying in the wind everywhere.

Purgatory is not an exaggeration to describe fire, one of the biggest disasters of mankind. What's more, in the burning garden square, there are also "people" walking aimlessly in the burning scorched earth.

They didn't seem to be afraid of fire at all, so they didn't burn to ashes. But their bodies are skinny, with no noses and empty eyes. They were wandering around, tremblingly holding their arms in front of their chests, hunched over, and kept crying.

Just like the suffering dead in hell.

And if you pay a little attention, you can see that occasionally a 'suffering walker' suddenly bursts into flames and lies on the ground howling in pain. At this time, in the manor, there would be faint bursts of laughter.

George could feel a pair of cold and cruel eyes occasionally scanning this way.

I'm afraid it has noticed these rats, snakes and insects that have broken in, but it has made no move. I don't know if it is because it cannot leave the manor too far, or because it doesn't care at all.

However, the suffering walkers seemed to have sensed the popularity in the distance, and slowly moved towards the bridge amidst the cries. They look like refugees seeking help, but no matter how you look at them, these things seem to be more evil than the blasphemers.

George's eyes slowly retracted and fell on the bridge.

The other side of the bridge has been blackened, but the middle maintains its 'earliest' appearance. At a glance, one can tell that a bloody battle once took place here!

The bridge was covered with corpses and black bloodstains, and many wreckage had even fallen under the bridge and rotted in the river.

During those days and nights, year after year of exposure to wind, sun, snow, freezing rain, these corpses had changed beyond recognition. And those in the river were soaked to pieces and floated on the water with the dead fish.

And this is the final fate of those former demon slayers

George and his party knew that they would obviously have a better chance than them, but they would never all survive.

And if the demon slaying fails, then they will be like these people on the bridge.

After a brief period of confusion, the knights gradually focused their attention on the lord.

George withdrew his eyes from looking at the manor and fell on the faces of the knights.

In silence, his eyes swept over and looked at them one by one. It's like I want to remember their faces and names forever.

The knights seemed to feel this suddenly heavy scene.

"I heard from Baron Garvey that there were more than two thousand people in Daniel's party." George suddenly opened his mouth and said, but the knights all said nothing and listened to him quietly.

"Standing here now, I can imagine how tragic it was when Daniel and others rushed into the manor and fought against the monsters all over the sky. And the battle on the bridge is probably just the entire battle. The tip of the iceberg.”

"Not a single one of the more than two thousand people left at the beginning is left, and I don't even know if anyone broke into the manor and saw the demon."

"No one knows a fool. And even a fool, before he comes, must have expected what kind of ending he may have. Knowing that it may be meaningless."

"So, when they picked up weapons and came here after hearing the news, they must have had the consciousness of death."

"But their trip is not for any benefit, just for an oath."

"Now, their bodies have been sleeping here for who knows how long. Their bodies have gradually dried up and decayed. They were randomly thrown here, leaving corpses in the wilderness."

"And their names will never be known."

"But it is undeniable that they are all demon-slaying heroes!"

George took a deep breath and paused for a moment. He looked at the determined eyes of the warriors.

"Knights!"

"Our royal capital has fallen!" (Although no one knew about this, under this situation, everyone remained silent)

"Duke Yongfeng, that cowardly coward stays behind closed doors!"

"No one will come to support us. Because in the entire Black Pearl Valley, everyone who can muster the courage to stand here has already arrived!"

"And only you can fight against this demon!"

"You have no one to rely on!"

"You have no one to count on!"

"Maybe you will die and be sacrificed here. Maybe no one will record you in myths and stories and be sung by others!"

"But you must stand up!"

"Because you are the only hope for tens of thousands of people and tens of thousands of survivors who are struggling in suffering!"

"——The fearless come forward!"

After the words fell, all the knights took a step forward on their horses.

The flame in the lord's hand ignited, and a square hammer was dragged out of mid-air.

When he raised his weapon, the armor and weapons of all the knights lit up.

George pointed forward and shouted: "For the dawn!!"

There was a rumbling sound of horse hooves, and the knights moved, following the lord and charging towards the bridge.

At this time, the suffering walkers had slowly moved to the edge of the bridge. George led many knights and fought with them in a blink of an eye.

However, when George angrily smashed the square hammer in his hand at the first enemy, it felt like he hit the air. And the suffering walker seemed to be unharmed.

But at this moment, the dawn divine pattern and holy mark on the square hammer suddenly lit up a light, and then the monster suddenly shattered without any warning and turned into ashes all over the sky.

The sound of horse hooves rumbled past, and many knights encountered the same scene. When a group of people rushed into the garden, they reined in their horses and looked back. Looking at the flying pieces of embers and the empty and silent square, they couldn't help but feel extremely surprised.

The ashes tended to gather again, but they were burned by the white flames and finally turned into dust.

Except for George who looked enlightened, many knights felt a tightness in their chests - is this the end?

Even the depressing manor in front of them seemed to be stunned for a moment.

"The Words of the Runes, the disgusting Templar Knights!!"

A series of harsh noises like metal friction suddenly broke the silence, and with this sound, the burning manor house shook as if there was an earthquake. Then a wall was suddenly smashed, and a huge afterimage rushed towards the crowd.
