Chapter 497 Alice's choice!
"Report! Sir, a large number of golden knights have appeared on the western wall. We can no longer hold on! We need support urgently!"
When Hayden led a group of people to the eastern section of the city wall and the Lord of the North was alone in the central army, the messenger who had just run back earlier hurried here again to report.
At this moment, the messenger was covered in blood and had two sword wounds on his body. One can imagine how fierce the battle on the eastern section of the city wall was at this time.
"You go back first, I'll come over for support right away!"
There was determination in the eyes of the Lord of the North. At the moment, he was the only golden knight here and he was the only one who could go to support.
"Yes, sir!"
The messenger didn't care about the blood that was still oozing from his body. He responded and then ran back to the eastern section of the city wall.
"Roft!"
"I'm here!"
"Go to the palace now to inform the queen and Caroline and have them evacuate the City of Glory immediately."
"Tell them to hide their identities after leaving the City of Glory and not return to the territory. We can make other plans after the situation stabilizes!"
The church's large army has already attacked the city wall. At this point, the Lord of the North knows that it is only a matter of time before the City of Glory is captured by the church, so he is ready to fight to the death!
But before he risked his life, he was still concerned about Alice and Caroline.
In war, men can die, but if a woman falls into the hands of the enemy, it may not be that simple.
So he asked Alice and Caroline to evacuate Glory and hide first. If the continent is really ruled by the church in the future, let them live an ordinary life.
"But... Sir..."
"No buts, this is an order! Go and execute it now!"
The Lord of the North interrupted Roft's words with an unquestionable tone.
"Yes! Sir!"
Roft knew that there was no room for rebuttal and did not dare to say anything more. He just responded with all his strength and then quickly ran towards the bottom of the city wall.
Seeing Roft leave, the Lord of the North retracted his gaze, immediately drew out his sword, and quickly rushed towards the eastern section of the city wall!
…
"Your Majesty! There is a Viscount named Roft outside the manor asking to see you. He said that the Lord of the North asked him to come to you and Miss Caroline!"
Alice has not left the study where Gervis disappeared since last night. When she felt sleepy at night, she would sleep on the sofa in the study. She has been waiting.
She wanted to wait for a miracle. She hoped that Gervis was not missing like her father, but just went out for something and would appear in front of her again soon.
Although Alice knew that this was just her wishful thinking.
"Let him in!"
Caroline knew Roft, and she glanced at Caroline, who was also sitting on another sofa, and nodded to the guard who reported it.
With Alice's permission, Roft quickly came to the study.
"Your Majesty, Miss Caroline! Lord Gust asked me to inform you that the City of Glory is no longer safe. You need to leave immediately..."
As soon as they arrived in the study, Roft bowed quickly and began to relay the Lord of the North's orders, including asking the two not to return to the territory and to hide their identities.
"Roft, the Duchy's army can no longer be stopped!"
Neither Alice nor Caroline showed any nervousness when they heard what Roft said.
Alice was also a count, so she began to ask Roft about the battle.
"Yes, Your Majesty! The church has sent out an army of 60,000 to attack the city. There are not only dozens of golden knights, but also hundreds of large siege vehicles. Now the church's golden knights have already attacked the city wall, and Lord Gust and his men have gone to fight in person!"
"Your Majesty, Miss Caroline, please leave quickly! It will be too late if you don't leave now!"
Seeing that the two showed no signs of anxiety or desire to leave, Roft could not help but urge them urgently.
"Leave? No, I can't leave! I am Alice Jones, Gervis' wife, the queen of the Principality of Jean, the current earl of the Jones family, and the battle against the church is also my responsibility!"
Alice stood up suddenly, with a cold light in her eyes. Her haggard look had faded away, and she turned back into the aloof and unapproachable countess.
"Roft, take Caroline and leave the City of Glory now and head to Storm Territory immediately. There is a small island overseas where you can hide temporarily. If you are discovered by the church in the end, you can also escape by boat!"
Alice's speaking aura was no less than that of other earls. If Gervis were here, he would definitely find that this was the first time he had met Alice.
After saying that, Alice looked at Caroline deeply, then walked out of the study, and then called her Rose Knight to help her put on armor, and headed towards the city wall where the battle was taking place.
When Alice left, Roft helplessly looked at Caroline, whose eyes were still a little red.
"Roft, I won't leave either! I want to go to the wall now too!"
After saying that, Caroline suddenly stood up from the sofa, and then quickly went towards the manor where she lived, ready to put on armor and rush to the city wall.
“What shall I do?”
Seeing the two women walking without any hesitation, Roft felt a little embarrassed.
Not only are the two girls unwilling to evacuate the City of Glory, they are also going to the city wall to join the battle. How is she going to explain this to her masters later?
"well!"
After pausing for a moment, Roft gritted his teeth, quickly left the palace and rushed towards the city wall.
He was just a subordinate of the Lord of the North and was only here to convey orders. It was impossible for him to take any coercive action against Alice and Caroline.
…
"Alice, Caroline! You two are making a fuss! Do you want to piss off your grandfather to death?"
The Lord of the North and his men were fighting and retreating at this moment, and were slowly forced to the center of the city wall by the surging church troops, which was where they had just been commanding.
When the Lord of the North saw Alice and Caroline wearing military uniforms and joining the battle, he shouted at them in a reproachful tone.
"Grandfather! There are no cowards in our Jones family, not even the Countess!"
Alice was not afraid at all in the face of the surging enemies. Spiritual light flowed through her body, and every arrow she shot could reap the lives of several church soldiers.
"you……!"
After hearing Alice's powerful words, the Lord of the North could no longer blame anyone and could only sigh helplessly.
He now had two or three sword wounds on his body, which were left when he was besieged by seven or eight golden knights.
A hundred meters away from them, Hayden and his companions were gradually forced back by more than twenty golden knights, who were gathering towards this side.
At this time, they were already trapped in a heavy siege. On the walls of the City of Glory, the soldiers of the Principality of Jean were either dead or wounded and had been completely suppressed by the army of the church.
It can be said that the city wall at this time has become the church's stronghold.
Only a few soldiers were still resisting on the stairs of the city wall. At the same time, a fierce battle had broken out at the city gate below. The few soldiers were desperately resisting the attacks of several titled knights.
If these people are killed, the gates of the City of Glory will be lost.
"Good! Very well said! I am impressed that a woman can say such words!"
At this moment, a hearty laugh was heard from behind the church army.
As the laughter came, the team in front of the church made way and Longfellow slowly walked out of the church team.
After Longfellow finished his boast, his tone suddenly became bloodthirsty and cruel, and he continued to add.
"But unfortunately, you have chosen the wrong path. The pagans are destined to be eliminated!"
