Inside the Sword Oath City, everything remained the same. Patrolling soldiers moved through the streets with determined steps, moving in an orderly fashion. On the training grounds, the shouts of knights echoed as they sweated profusely, honing their martial arts.
Ever since the Orc Extraordinary Legion set up camp in the Frost Zero Plains, it has fallen into a strange silence and has not made any moves. This is extremely unusual.
Earl White felt uneasy and immediately sent several elite knights to gather information. Soon after, the reconnaissance knights reported back that the orcs had been training intensively in the camp all day, appearing ready to attack at any moment, but not a single soldier had left.
This news left Earl White confused, but what was certain was that the orcs must be plotting something, so he immediately ordered to further strengthen the city's defenses, expand the scope of the knight patrol team, and be on high alert.
Martin returned to the castle and settled down there. His older brother, Karen, would visit him regularly, eager to teach him how to handle complex tasks. Martin, eager to learn, followed Karen closely, meticulously studying every detail.
The third brother Wayne and the fourth brother Derry often took Martin to train together. On the training ground, the brothers learned from each other and made progress together.
In his spare time, Martin would contact his mother through the communication crystal to reassure her that she didn't need to worry too much about him.
He would also chat with Reina. Her family, safe within Dragon Fang Pass, had left for the Royal Capital Noble Academy on the first day of school. As their conversation deepened, they gradually turned to interesting things in each other's lives, their laughter and joy spreading through the communication crystal.
Warm days always pass quickly. A few days later, as the intelligence of the two knight patrol teams came to an abrupt end, the earl, holding the two pieces of intelligence in his hands, immediately ordered the knights to pack up their equipment and prepare for the next battle.
On the orc side, after Coulson delivered the news through the communication crystal, the orcs stationed in the Frost Zero Plains immediately became busy. They quickly gathered weapons, armor, dry food, and other equipment. Once everything was ready, they marched towards the Sword of Promise City in a mighty force.
After three days of marching in the Earldom, when approaching the Oathed City of the Sword, Coulson no longer avoided the patrols in the villages and small cities in the Earldom as he had done in the past, but chose to go straight ahead, eager to reach the Oathed City of the Sword.
As the orcs continued to advance, various intelligence streamed into Earl White's hands.
After reading the intelligence, the Earl's expression was solemn. Knowing the urgency of the situation, he immediately warned Marquis Rodrick through the communication crystal: "My Lord, do not fall into the orcs' trap! The most urgent task is to quickly eliminate the orcs in Frostridge and then rush to support them. The orcs' target is Oath of the Sword. Once this city is captured, they will be able to advance straight to Dragon's Teeth Pass. Then, we will all be doomed."
After sending the message, Earl White no longer paid attention to the communication crystal. He quickly donned his heavy knight armor and walked out of the room steadily.
Karen and the others had been waiting outside the gate for a long time, their faces filled with anxiety and concern. The Earl said nothing, simply raised his hand to signal Karen and the others to follow, then strode towards the city wall.
Climbing the city walls, they gazed upon the approaching orc army, a surging tide. Their dense mass, accompanied by roars and heavy footsteps, sent a chill down their spines. Many battle-hardened knights instinctively tightened their swords, veins visibly visibly etched on the backs of their hands. Karen and the others couldn't conceal their nervousness, their hearts pounding as if they were about to burst through their chests.
The Earl noticed the nervousness of Karen and others, and asked them to come up just to briefly feel the tense pre-war atmosphere on the city wall in advance. Then he whispered, "You go back to the rear first." Karen and others knew that they had not yet become true knights, and their strength and experience were far from enough. If they stayed on this dangerous front line, they would not only be of no help, but would become a burden to everyone.
So, although they were filled with reluctance, they could only nod silently, turn around and return to the rear, and devote themselves to the work of coordinating supplies, hoping to contribute to the defense of the Sword Oath City in another way.
Martin returned to the castle alone. He took out five communication crystals and handed them to his five guards. With a serious expression, he instructed them, "Disperse to the battle area. If the situation becomes unfavorable or any other unexpected events occur, report to me immediately through these crystals." The guards quickly turned and left, disappearing into the castle corridors.
With the firing of magic cannons, the siege officially began. The Sword of Promise City was attacked by two groups of orcs one after another. With the help of magic cannons and the involvement of the fortresses on both sides, the situation was barely maintained.
However, as the siege continued and the number of people was huge, this maintenance was soon broken. The earl could only appear on the city wall to help the knights defend the wall. However, after defending this side, problems arose on the wall on the other side of the city.
At this moment, a golden knight appeared on the city wall, and the situation was reversed instantly. After the golden knight cleaned up the orcs who rushed up the city wall, he rushed down with his knight's sword, and cut a bloody path, rushing directly towards Coulson. Coulson was so scared that he quickly let Fury go forward. The two golden fighters instantly fought each other, and the orcs stayed away from them, and gradually a vacuum zone appeared.
On the other side of the battlefield, Earl White had just swung his sword to kill several orcs who rushed up the city wall, when suddenly, three golden auras rose from the orc army's camp.
The Earl looked up at the three figures radiating a chilling aura, and a deep sense of powerlessness washed over him. He knew that these three golden warriors were coming for him, but as the guardian of the Sword Oath City, he had no intention of retreating.
Just as the Earl was about to fight to the death, three figures appeared on the city wall. The Earl looked closely and saw that they were three golden knights! This sudden aid instantly disrupted the orcs' plans.
Originally, the orcs intended to rely on the power of these three golden warriors to kill Earl White in one fell swoop and then break through the Sword of Promise City, but they did not expect that such a powerful fighting force was hidden in the city.
The situation suddenly reversed, and the orcs had no time to think carefully, so they could only bite the bullet and rush into battle. Without hesitation, the three golden knights leaped down from the city, their weapons flashing coldly, and rushed towards the orcs.
Their goal was clear: to keep the battle outside the city as long as possible to prevent further damage to the city. The orcs would not easily grant their wish, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle.
As the battle continued, the figures of the six people moved farther and farther away, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.
The Earl looked in the direction they left and breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure on his shoulders was instantly relieved. He subconsciously thought that this might be related to Martin, but then he shook his head secretly. At this moment, he had to concentrate on defending this city.
