Public trial?You deserve it too!

Obviously, the opponent didn't realize that there would be such a powerful support army entering the arena, and the offensive situation that had a slight upper hand collapsed in an instant. These mobs who were originally gangs were immediately defeated by the armored knights.

Manfred was also surprised by the opponent's vulnerability. After sweeping away the group of knights, all the attacking troops were completely disintegrated without even needing to counterattack.

"These are not the main force of the rebels, but the thugs who have been coerced... This number is a bit inconvenient."

The knight frowned. It is obvious that there is not only one battlefield here. If there are so many people everywhere, then it is clear that this rebellion was not a temporary idea, but planned for a long time, so that the entire imperial capital is now in flames of war. among.

But now he had to find the commander of these people first.

"Does any of you know where Chevalier Georgi, or Chevalier Friedrich?"

"I'm Friedrich."

A tired-looking man came over, subconsciously extended his hand to Manfred, and then wanted to take it back as if remembering something. .

"I'm Manfred."

The knight took the hand.

"Is it Lord Claude's reinforcements?"

A trace of relief and a smile appeared on the man's face.

"Yes, we were ordered to come to assist the civilians in the imperial capital to resist the rebels."

Manfred explained.

"Great, can you still fight? There is another battlefield that is more urgent than here."

Friedrich's voice was a little anxious, he had already hanged the color, but the situation on the other side made him even more worried.

"Your Excellency Georgi is fighting at the junction of the upper city and the lower city. The terrain there is very flat, and there are no very strong buildings to hold on to."

"Can you lead the way?"

Manfred nodded immediately without the slightest hesitation.

"Of course! Follow me!"

Friedrich breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered the others to rest where they were, in case the other party might make a comeback, and then led the students towards the city.

When this army arrived at the battlefield, they realized that the place was already a mess, the entire defense line was torn apart, and almost every ruined building had been reduced to a battlefield. Both sides were exhausted from fighting.

Georgi carried only a dozen strong crossbows, relying on the barricades piled up in advance at the intersection to defend to the death, and the kerosene was even placed directly beside them, forcing the rebels not to dare to rush forward in large groups. Surround them first, and then use fueling tactics to rush up and fight hand-to-hand in batches, and the fight is extremely bloody.

In fact, Georgi's side is now at the end of his rope. After all, what Claude wants is to ensure the smooth flow of the road. He can't really set fire to this intersection. Otherwise, God knows that the large army will detour to where to go.

If he hadn't consciously gathered all the gang members who had been soldiers and those who were said to have been trained by a fat man and stationed in the Orphan Gang's garrison here, his own troops might have collapsed due to casualties.

Friedrich may not understand the current situation, but Manfred can see at a glance that Georgi's side is already at the end of its strength, and there is no longer any way to delay the detour and encirclement tactics, and must attack immediately.

"Knights of the Empire! Charge!"

The knight made his position known to everyone in one sentence, and then completely ignored the surrounding residential areas, and immediately led the people along the road to the barricade where Georgi was located, quickly smashing the siege of the rebels. Then spread in all directions, not seeking to annihilate the enemy, but to expel the enemy as much as possible.

Manfred and Georgi are still familiar with each other. They fought side by side on both the Eastern and Northern Fronts. The two embraced warmly.

"Fortunately, you are here, otherwise, if this place falls, I really don't know how to explain to Claude."

Georgi was visibly relieved.

"It's not yet easy, we don't have many people, and we still have to retreat to defend in the end-how many people can you integrate on your side? I want to see if I can expand the defense depth."

"There is no one left now. They are all civilians. There is no organization at all. I have to go and bring them out myself—so I can only rely on you here."

Georgi sighed.

"Friedrich is the leader of these civilians, you can call the people around you back with him, and then I want you to give me twenty knights, and I will take them to liberate as many people as possible from the battlefield of street fighting People come back to guard."

"Okay, let me defend here."

Manfred nodded, and immediately ordered 20 people to follow Georgie to leave, while the others quickly began to rebuild the barricades, ready to meet the comrades who were fighting back.

Friedrich was organizing the remaining people to clean up the corpses and transport the wounded, and both sides were very busy.

After this wave of enemy troops was repelled, the remaining people returned to garrison near the intersection again, and the two had time to communicate with each other.

"Acquainted again, Manfred Drake, a knight."

The knight held out his hand.

"Friedrich, no last name, a gang leader."

The man held each other's hand.

"I thought you wouldn't shake my hand—I apologize, Knight Manfred."

"No, I should apologize to you. Obviously, you have a bad impression of nobles and knights. I apologize to you on behalf of those scum."

The knight said gently that, as a long-sleeved and skillful knight, he always chooses to take the initiative to make friends with those he admires.

"Please sit down."

The two sat side by side on the two boxes, looking at the blood-stained ruins around them, speechless for a moment.

"Are they all yours?"

Manfred asked suddenly.

"Yeah...they are all my people..."

The man supported his lowered head with one hand, and smashed his fist to the ground with the other.

"But I can only watch them die, I can't do more...Maybe, maybe it would be better to let them stay at home-maybe they shouldn't resist... ...maybe I'm wrong..."

The sadness and pain in his words are not half false, but Manfred keenly discovered that the pain of the other party is obviously more old-Friedrich is not only sad because of the scene in front of him, his pain comes from in the more distant past,

"Maybe... I should have stayed there and died there with my brothers and sisters..."

he murmured.

"Death is a very simple matter."

Manfred patted the man on the shoulder.

"But you have to know that people are more afraid of being forgotten than death—if they really fail to leave a trace in this world, they will truly and completely have nothing to do with this world."

Friedrich was taken aback.

"I don't know what you have experienced before, but what I want to say is that since you survived, it means that you have to bear all the responsibilities of those who died. Names, stories...they Only you know everything, if you die, then no one will know that they lived in this world."

Manfred looked to the sky, thinking of his dead team members.

"Like right now, these brave dead soldiers are lying here, they are being forgotten - if we die too, then no one will know their bravery and struggle, and no one will remember them."

"So we're going to live, and live with what we have. We can give them a decent funeral, a headstone, and more - together, we're going to put a memorial here for them so that people will remember it forever Warriors who died for the Empire."

Friedrich stared at Manfred.

"......thanks."

"You're welcome, that's what I want to do too."

Manfred took over the defense of the intersection with the students.

Georgi brought out barely enough men to transport the wounded—not even enough to contain the corpses.

He can only take the twenty knights, cover these imperial civilians who have fought bravely for a while, and support each other, and march towards the treatment point that has been set up-he is not needed here for the time being, so Ge Olgi will take these people to another battlefield to command.

Manfred was not idle either. He was following Friedrich to identify the terrain. After all, this place belongs to the lower city, and he knew very little about it.

But soon an uninvited guest interrupted the two of them.

"Mr. Friedrich! I'm here to take care of the seriously wounded. You have no right to let me go."

The girl who had "contradicted" Manfred appeared in front of them.

"Miss Florence, this is a battlefield! I'm glad of your enthusiasm, but your duty is in the infirmary, not here!"

Friedrich had a headache.

"But those seriously injured couldn't make it to the hospital! Moreover, even if the wounded were only moderately injured in the staggering way of transporting the wounded, they might be seriously injured and die! So I couldn't stay there and watch, one by one could have been rescued. People who are now lying there in despair waiting to die!"

Miss Florence's attitude didn't soften in the slightest, and she didn't even stop the work she was doing. She was still helping a seriously injured person stop bleeding.

"But there's still very little you can do alone—without the help of other doctors and nurses in the hospital, you can't even carry out a serious operation."

Manfred said very gently, he directly used his hand to help hold down the blood vessel, allowing Florence to have his hands free to bandage.

"Thank you, but I can at least delay their situation for a while, at least until they are sent back to the hospital."

Florence bandaged the wound nimbly.

"That's enough. As long as he is carried back on a stretcher, his life will not be in danger—otherwise, the blood shed on the road alone would be enough to kill him."

"but......"

Friedrich's attitude softened, and he also knew that Florence was right, but after all, this is a battlefield, and the opponents are a group of rebels and gangsters who have no lower limit. Just open up to her.

"You can't convince me, Mr. Friedrich, as always." The girl didn't even have time to stand up and talk to the other party, and immediately walked to the next wounded person, "Unless you knock me out and let others Send it back—and watch them all die here!"

One sentence completely blocked Friedrich's words. Of course he knew the girl's temperament. In the Orphan Gang, everyone felt a headache for her stubbornness.

"You can stay here, Miss Florence, but there is one condition - you must obey my command, instead of rushing out to save people and come back with your own personality."

Manfred patted Friedrich on the shoulder, motioning himself to solve the problem.

"The imperial army also has an establishment of medical soldiers. They all stay on the battlefield, and even rescue their comrades in the fire line, so it is not unnegotiable to let you stay here. But you have to know, they are doctors, but they He is a soldier, so obeying orders is the most important thing."

He looked at Florence, the other didn't look up, but he had the feeling that he was looking at her.

"If you can obey my orders, then I can allow you to stay here."

"Cavalier Manfred..." Friedrich's words still carried an indelible worry.

"And I promise you that no one can hurt you until I fall, and I swear by my name—Manfred Drake, will absolutely protect you from the sword."

The man solemnly swears.

Florence pressed the wound, looked up at Manfred, and nodded seriously.

"I trust you, Drake Knight, and I agree to obey your orders—can you hold this place for me now?"

"Of course, it's just that I won't be able to help you after the battle begins. After all, I still have the duty of being a commander..."

Friedrich raised his eyebrows a little strangely.

He always felt that Manfred's attitude towards Miss Florence was a little strange.

The battle that Friedrich was worried about did not start again - Augustus's troops were very insufficient, and of course there were no extra knights devoted to suppressing other parts of the imperial capital, if it weren't for this being an important main road of the imperial capital , and it is impossible for someone to organize the occupation.

After all, as long as he takes down the imperial palace, then the imperial capital must be his. On the contrary, if he fails to take it down, then even if he suppresses the entire imperial capital, he will be completely defeated in front of the emperor's guards who came to help.

So after the few sent knights of the eldest prince were killed, the remaining thugs and hooligans quickly avoided here—after all, their purpose was to steal money, and of course the persimmons were to be picky.

The more important reason is that a vanguard knight unit has already arrived here.

"By the order of His Majesty the Emperor, the Ninth Knights of the Guards are here to fight against the rebels. We are the forward troops. Please reveal your identities immediately."

Manfred and Friedrich breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. The Ninth Knights are exactly Claude's subordinates. It's all real.

"We are students of the Department of Warfare of the Imperial Military University. We have accepted the command of Knight Claude, and we are stationed here to ensure that the road is clear."

Manfred shouted immediately.

"Then please remove the barricade immediately and let us pass."

The barricades were quickly and violently dismantled by the knights. They watched the soldiers of the Ninth Knights rumbling over here and rushing towards the direction of the city, and they couldn't help cheering for them excitedly.

Long live the Empire, never stop.

It didn't take long before the large army followed, and thousands of knights approached the upper city in a situation that almost no one knew about along the road that was still clear.

Because this place is not within the monitoring range of Augustus, and even if someone can monitor it, their speed cannot be faster than a knight group on horseback.

This is the real reason why Claude wants to guarantee this road—although horseback riding in street fighting is an order stupid enough to be sent to a military court, there is nothing faster than this way of advancing.

As long as the enemy does not have an absolute advantage in the urban area and digs trenches of tens of meters, then the speed that such an advance can have is worth a certain percentage of losses for the troops.

Not to mention that there will be no enemies on this road.

For things like Qin Wang, whoever arrives first can show his face in front of the emperor, and whoever has the highest credit must be the highest.
