The devil came quickly.
Out of the gate of the main castle, among the more than a thousand warriors who followed Verina, when not even half of them entered the main castle, the demons had already arrived.
In fact, before, there have been traces of some demons outside of jewelry. But Verina personally organized two squadrons to deal with such small-scale demons, and the results were not bad. None of the small-scale enemies that came before could threaten the troops entering the main castle.
But this time is different.
Palan, who was standing at the window, could see it more clearly than anyone else. The demons that came this time were vast and mighty, and among them, there were also human troops in a square formation, which were obviously the direct descendants of Governor Conley brought out from Cinderella.
Palan estimated that Governor Conley himself was probably in the army formation.
Next to him, a guard came over and whispered in his ear, "General, should we close the gate?"
Palan gritted his teeth tightly, pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.
"General?" The guard urged again.
"I see!" He burst out suddenly, scaring the guard so much that he didn't dare to speak anymore.
He turned his eyes out of the window again. Outside the main castle, the soldiers near the door seemed to feel the approach of death, and each of them was faintly agitated, and began to be more anxious, hoping to rush into the door as soon as possible. , discipline is slowly crumbling.
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Palan's mouth, and he said: "Tell the guards below, let everyone line up honestly for me, who dares to crowd, who dares to disobey orders, who dares to disrupt order, kill!"
"Yes!" The guard behind him took the order and went down to deliver the order.
After a while, there was a dispute in front of the gate of the main castle, and there were two more screams, and then calm was restored.
During this time, Palan didn't even look down. His eyes were always focused on Verina, who had organized a team of about two hundred people in front of the main castle, and was about to fight the devil to the death.
That woman would know that she was facing a losing battle. With the tens of thousands of demons on the opposite side, and the Cinderella Guards led by the great magician Kang Li, her two hundred people placed on the flat ground may not even be able to withstand a single charge.
Even if she could take advantage of the terrain before the castle and not face too many enemies at the same time, she couldn't last long.
This is a battle that must die, but she still looks so resolute and energetic, still actively organizing the team, still firmly boosting morale, and preparing to fight the enemy to the death.
Palan also saw that the female knight turned her head once. The eyes of the two met each other from a distance.
In fact, at such a distance, Palan couldn't even see the expression on her face clearly. But he still felt the meaning in Verina's eyes, as if asking him: "Why don't you close the door?"
Palan opened his mouth slightly, and muttered something that no one could hear except himself: "I'm waiting for you to come in... Can you stop being stupid? Come in, okay?"
He didn't get any response—of course he didn't get any response, just like a few minutes ago, when he said he asked for marriage, the female knight didn't give him any answer.
The demons have assembled. They stayed outside the scope of the main castle for only a moment before starting to move forward.
With such a large number of demons approaching, Verina's two hundred people were not much worse than a group of ants standing in front of a giant.
Palan closed his eyes in pain. Sure enough, it was impossible for Verina to come in by herself. If she came in, she might be able to save her life, but the door might not be able to close. The soldiers outside the door were able to barely maintain order precisely because she was there and the backbone was still there. Once Verina came in, no matter how stupid the soldiers outside were, they would know that they were abandoned.
What's more, in order to have a safe environment to enter the door, someone must go to eliminate the demons that were constantly approaching before. This is also a job that requires Verina to direct in person. If it is any other person, who can guarantee that the soldiers will be able to suppress the soldiers
At that time, before the gate is closed, the first batch of soldiers who will attack the gate will be the soldiers outside the main castle!
Human nature has moments of glory, but human nature has a dark side.
"Stop... cut off all those who haven't come in, go outside, and close the door."
Palan finally issued the order.
When the demons began to attack, it was also the time when the gate of the main castle was closed.
The soldiers who were pushed back two steps outside the door looked at the suddenly closed door in astonishment. The silence lasted only a second, and they reacted: they were abandoned.
Panicked emotions instantly filled everyone's heart. Outside the gate, there were about a hundred soldiers who had neither entered the gate nor organized to fight against the demons. Without any command, they flocked to the gate one after another and looked up. Some were crying and begging, some people are yelling.
But what's the use? The gate of the main castle is made of solid boulders as a whole. Even if there are siege weapons, I don't know how long it will take to smash it. Where is the door that the weapons in these soldiers' hands can knock on
They yelled and cursed for a while under the gate of the main castle. They couldn't open the door, but they could call the devil.
Here comes the devil.
Verina's 200 people couldn't stop all the demons, but there were still many demons who broke through their defenses and came close.
Humans in the main castle, of course, no demons can threaten them. But the hundred or so soldiers in front of the gate, whose emotions had already collapsed, became the best targets for the demons to slaughter.
These people were killed without even forming an effective resistance. The casualties paid by the demons were not small, but few were killed by these soldiers, most of them were killed by human archers on the shooting crenels on several floors of the main castle, and human mages using spells.
Palan never went to see the battle in front of the gate, he didn't care at all. This kind of demon can't break through the gate of the main castle, and the hundred or so soldiers who failed to enter are no different from dead people in his heart, so what is there to care about
His eyes were fixed on the glorious figure who was constantly fighting among the demons, and he clenched his hands tightly, as if he was pinching his own heart.
He watched the soldiers around her fall down one by one, and he watched her continue to kill demons one by one, leaving wounds all over her body. But he can't do anything, he can only watch like this.
Palan felt an emotion, and now he knew what it was like to feel like a knife was twisting his heart.
