"My lord duke!"
Knight Muffat, who finally rushed into the hall, looked at the scene in front of him and let out a desperate and mournful roar.
But immediately, Knight Muffat took a deep breath and put on a fighting posture. Knowing that he was not Lucien's opponent, he was ready to do his best to fulfill his original oath.
Unexpectedly, Lucien didn't pay attention to Knight Muffat's intentions at all. He picked up the body of the Duke of St. Pros, and then rushed out.
Knight Muffat was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to be thankful or angry.
Just when he was about to chase out, he suddenly heard a slight groan and groan.
"Master Marquis!" Knight Muffat hurried over, looking at Marquis Vincent lying on the ground in surprise and worry, "You are still alive!"
Marquis Vincent's mouth was full of blood, and he struggled angrily and said:
"Don't... don't let... the Hall family... run away..."
Knight Muffat thought that Marquis Vincent was awakened by the aftermath of the battle just now, and didn't know that the Duke of St. Pros had been assassinated, so he was still paying attention to the Hall family.
"Don't worry! The Hall family can't escape! Please persevere, I will find a priest to treat you!" Knight Muffat did not dare to use the news of the death of the Duke of St. Immediately after the sentence, I went out to find the pastor.
At this time, the Hall family manor had become quiet, and most of the guards had already gone after the group of northern assassins, or the members of the Hall family who escaped, leaving only a few sporadic people guarding nearby.
"You go to church at once..."
Knight Muffat pulled a guard over and was about to tell him to go to the church to find the pastor when he saw a figure appearing at the gate of the manor.
"Duchess!"
Knight Muffat hurriedly saluted and greeted, and then realized that the Duchess is not the archbishop of the East Territory. She is still looking for a priest, so he immediately said: "Ma'am! Lord Marquis Vincent is seriously injured and his life is dying. You Hurry up and have a look!"
The Duchess frowned, and asked in surprise, "Vincent is still alive?"
"Yes." Knight Muffat was a little embarrassed, "Before... maybe I made a mistake..."
"Take me there quickly."
The Duchess asked as she followed the Muffat Knight, "Where is the Duke? Why didn't you see him?"
Knight Muffat lowered his head and said in shame and pain: "Your Excellency... I am afraid he has been killed..."
"What?" The Duchess stopped suddenly, her body swayed, and she almost fell down.
Knight Muffat hurriedly persuaded: "Madam, please put away your grief for the time being, and go to treat the Lord Marquis first. As for the Lord Duke, I have already sent someone to track down the group of northern assassins. I will come again when I have definite news. inform you."
"Okay..." The Duchess nodded tremblingly, her expression was still a little dazed, but she managed to walk into the hall and came to Marquis Vincent.
"Madam, you can treat the injury of Lord Marquis at ease first. If you need anything, please feel free to speak up. I will stay outside."
"good."
After Knight Muffat left, the Duchess checked the injuries of Marquis Vincent, breathed his breath, and then showed surprise on her face. It was obviously hard to believe that her son was still alive after being injured like this. .
Faced with her seriously injured son, the Duchess just watched, without any intention of helping her.
As time passed, the Duchess seemed to be thinking about something, completely ignoring that her own son was slowly sliding into the abyss of death beside her.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of footsteps sounded again, and the Duchess finally recovered from her contemplation.
"Vincent!" The Marquise ran in with a panicked expression. After she saw her husband's terrible injuries on the ground, her already pale face instantly became even paler.
"Ms. Kate! Vincent...how is he?" The Marchioness even forgot to salute, and just asked in a daze.
The Duchess didn't care about her daughter-in-law's rudeness, and said with a worried face:
"I've already treated him, but his injury is too serious. Whether he can wake up depends on his will, and whether my lord is willing to show mercy..."
The Marquise fell to her knees with a plop, crying and begging, "Please save him!"
The Duchess helped Molly up, and said: "He is my own son, why don't I try my best to save him. You should find someone to carry him back first, and be careful not to touch his wound, and you don't need to find someone to look at him again." , I will personally go to perform the healing technique on him later.”
The Marquise touched her tears, nodded repeatedly and said, "Good! Good!"
After explaining a few more precautions, the Duchess walked out.
It's just that she didn't notice that after she turned around, Marquis Vincent suddenly opened his eyes and stared at his mother coldly.
…
Upstairs in the North City.
The Logue knight stared in the direction of Dongcheng, wondering what he was thinking.
Orders come and go one by one, passing the latest situation of the battlefield here.
The battle situation in the East City is still anxious, but the vanguard of the Blood Cavalry Army is not far from the location of the Hall family manor.
It is estimated that it will not be long before there should be good news from there.
However, the situation outside the city is not optimistic.
According to the latest news sent back by the sentry cavalry, the Eastern Territory army outside the city has surrounded Bailu City and is constantly shrinking the encirclement.
In fact, the Logue knights are not afraid of the enemy's siege tactics. You must know that in the face of the powerful attack power of the blood cavalry army, the encirclement circles set up by the people from the east are no different from the air-tight rag bags.
However, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, the blood cavalry army can form a formation outside the city and obtain sufficient charging acceleration distance.
If the army from the Eastern Realm outside the city is really blocked to the gate of the city, then the tragic scene in the Shadow Canyon will probably be staged again.
Therefore, the blood cavalry army must not be trapped in the city, and must start to break out before the eastern border army outside the city will tighten their pockets.
The adjutant couldn't help but stepped forward to persuade him several times, but the Logue knight looked in the direction of the east city, but he never gave the order to break out.
Time passed bit by bit, and the army of the Eastern Territory outside the city was also approaching bit by bit. Just when the Logue knights were about to lose their composure and wanted to order a breakout, a beam of dazzling blue magic signals tore through the pitch-black area. The night sky bloomed over Dongcheng.
The Logue knight looked happy, and immediately ordered:
"Blow the horn, gather the army, and prepare to break through!"
"yes!"
woo—
The low and rhythmic sound of bugles resounded through the night sky of Bailu City, and the soldiers of the Blood Cavalry Army who were still fighting in the East City immediately woke up, stopped fighting with the enemy one after another, and began to retreat in an orderly manner.
Clive wiped the blood stains on his face, grabbed the passer-by by the side, and said anxiously:
"We haven't received anyone from the Hall family yet. I saw them running south just now. Why are they withdrawing now?"
"I don't know. Execute the military order!"
Clive sighed, had no choice but to turn the horse's head, and shouted:
"Brothers, kill me back!"
