The Nord Royal Guards are worthy of being the continent's first heavy infantry, and their combat prowess is simply the strongest on the continent.
When facing the Lion's Fang Guards, the royal guards behind them did not choose to retreat at all. All of them rushed forward desperately. To them, the group of demons in front of them were like lambs to be slaughtered at will.
The Nord Royal Guards swung their axes, just like Emrida led the Nord Royal Guards who I had to fight against. The previous group of Lionfang Guards were gradually defeated by the Nord Royal Guards, and a head fell to the ground every minute and every second.
Even though they were able to take a few blows from the Rhodes Royal Guards and even hurt a few of them, there was still a gap in strength between them. Besides, Farrington and Walls as well as Mathilde and Aileyen were not pushovers.
They joined the battle and quickly gained the upper hand.
There are some Swadian knights in the palace. They are real warriors and the highest fighting force in the entire Swadian Kingdom, but they are not good at dismounting and fighting.
In other words, their ability in foot combat was far inferior to that of the Nordic Royal Guards. Therefore, in order to preserve this group of elite soldiers, King Harlaus decided to take them away from this place. Of course, he would leave behind some loyal knights to block the enemy's advance when necessary.
But after hearing the screams outside one after another, it was obvious that these second knights of mine could no longer sit still. They felt that they should go out and help them. The ferocious enemy outside was not something that this group of Lion Fang Guards could resist at all.
Coxon is among this group of knights. He is a knight beside King Harlaus. The Fire Knight Coxon is also worried about the situation outside.
But because of King Haros' order, he cannot leave here for a moment, and he cannot let this group of knights leave here. He now wants to leave some elite combat forces for the entire Swadia Kingdom.
"Captain, let me go and take care of them all. I want to go outside and join their fight."
A young knight stepped forward to mediate. He was young and full of vigor, and of course he could not stand such humiliation. Watching his companions being slaughtered by the enemy outside while he was living in the palace and could do nothing about it, it was a torture for such a young knight with lofty ideals.
"No, absolutely not. Your first priority now is to stay here honestly. You must know that you must obey orders.
Our king is now in the palace, hacking into the account, and once he has taken care of all his affairs, he will immediately..."
Coxon first rejected the proposal of the young knight in front of him, and then stated the most important goal of this mission. However, it was obvious that he had more to say, but the last sentence was swallowed down his stomach.
What he wanted to say was simple. For a young knight, this was an absolutely unbearable humiliation. Coxon had to stay here now.
When the time came, Coxon wisely led the group of knights to leave here quickly.
At the same time, they would go deep into the palace to cover King Harlaus' retreat, as the enemy soldiers outside had already entered the palace.
They had to fight to the death. For a knight, it was an honor to die on the battlefield, but deserting was a shameful act.
So Coxon swallowed back what he was about to say, and asked them to cover their king's retreat.
It would be absolutely unwise to let them escape from the battlefield. These young knights would definitely feel deeply ashamed of this.
By that time, his prestige in this knight team would definitely decline. However, in order to comply with King Harlaus's order, Coxon felt that he should stick to this decision.
A knight's most important task is of course to protect his monarch. Therefore, Coxon felt that if this group of knights were to cover King Harlaus' retreat, perhaps they would temporarily swallow this shame.
But at this moment, we must not undermine their morale.
Just as Coxon was hesitating, a man covered in a gray robe appeared.
A strange figure whose face could not be seen suddenly appeared in front of this group of knights. If they had known about this strange attire, all the knights who often followed Harlaus would have known about it.
Although he had only met this gray-robed man a few times, they still remembered this strange gray-robed man deeply after just meeting him once or twice.
It is not known what happened but this gray-robed man had a deep conversation with King Hax till late at night. It seems that he has a great relationship with King Harlaus.
But as servants, they didn't dare to ask more questions, saying that they were just ordinary guards and had no right to ask about King Harlaus's affairs. Therefore, they felt that the gray-robed man in front of them was extremely mysterious.
The grey-robed man looked like an old man from Wuxi. His hunched body and skinny hands showed that he was about 70 years old, but no one present knew his actual age. And they didn't dare to ask more.
At this moment, an old man suddenly opened his mouth and spoke to the young knights in front of him in his hoarse voice.
"My fellow knights, King Harlaus is very grateful for your standing guard here for them, but at this moment, you have seen the critical situation. King Harlaus is in urgent need of your help, so Hashi Jia Wangqing asks you to hurry to his side and stay with him."
The gray-robed man's voice was not beautiful. On the contrary, his voice was a little harsh, which made people feel very uncomfortable. But at this moment, all this was not important at all.
After hearing what the gray-robed man said, the knights in front of them were trembling all over. The only thing they had to do now was to protect their monarch. If King Harlaus was in danger, these knights would stand up.
"Okay, I got it. I will lead my knights to King Hans right away."
After hearing the gray-robed man say this, Coxon quickly bowed to him.
