The walls of Aetteborg were already filled with people.

At this moment, there was no distinction between a noble and a noble. Everyone was gathered at the tip, silently watching the noble young master who had come to Naoki from the city just for fun, leading fifty guards in shining armor to form an attack formation. Opposite them, there seemed to be an endless horde of beasts, including ferocious looking wild wolves, ferocious looking cheetahs, sharp-toothed lions and tigers, and huge brown bears …

At the other end of the herd, on the two arrow towers, were the husbands of a few of them, the fathers of a group of children, the friends and benefactors of the town.

They were trapped there.

Standing outside the gate of the castle, Burton looked somewhat excitedly at the young man who had made his choice from afar. He thought back to the nobles who had always stood in front of the people in order for them to live a better life, the great heroes who would always die in front of them on the battlefield, and the powerhouses who had always given the people endless confidence with a firm back.

Those nobles who had been praised by all the commoners for countless years.

Those nobles who were highly praised by all the citizens.

A true noble.

The gradually forgotten nobility of the empire.

He was thinking too much.

Behind him, in the shadows where the light from the city wall could not reach, Lilisse's petite figure was faintly discernible.

"Charge." Heller said softly.

"Charge!" Standing in the middle of the team, Link suddenly shouted out!

"Charge!" All the knights shouted in unison. Their morale was high and they were fearless!

A trace of a smile melted on Heller's cold face. Not everyone had that kind of natural leader aura.

A fifty man cavalry vanguard!

"Boom!" The sound of the hooves of the horses resounded like a flood as they gradually overshadowed the intermittent roars of the beasts.

The fifty man team of Knights had actually gathered around the young man at the center, forming a mighty current of steel.

The beast herd that covered the sky was no longer terrifying.

The world turned silent as everything turned silent. Only the comrades by his side, the sharp swords in their hands, and the enemies hidden in the darkness remained.

Suddenly, specks of light burst out in the night!

The light blue meteor was just like before, shooting out from Lin Ke's back and entering into the distant monster horde, splashing out 'splashes'!

Not long after, a deep azure sword beam soared into the sky. Compared to Brook's flaming greatsword, the deep azure sword beam that exuded a spiritual aura formed a massive energy sword that seemed to be more than ten meters long!

At some point in time, a plain, gray, sheathed sword had already appeared in Heller's hand, and its appearance was much worse than any of the fine iron swords found in the smithy on the market. As Heller waved his right hand lightly, the colossal sword actually slipped away from the grip of the sword, becoming a clear blade that swept out, and in the blink of an eye, appeared in front of the ferocious beast dozens of meters away.

One sweep! He did not stop at all!

At that moment, Lin Ke shivered. He thought of the sickle that harvested wheat. With a single slash, it would easily cut off a ear of wheat. Then, he thought of the sharp edge of the tofu.

As for those ferocious wild beasts, they seemed to have turned into a pile of paper, unable to withstand a single blow!

"Battle qi in vitro …" Brooke muttered in a low voice, his eyes filled with a shocking color!

Lin Ke slowly calmed down. He looked at the sturdy figure of the figure, who had not even come into contact with the monster horde and had practically swept a large piece of white land with his own strength. His heart was filled with complex emotions.

He silently gathered his magic power. He needed to do what he needed to do.

The cavalrymen and the vicious beasts suddenly met!

On the contrary, the cavalry's speed didn't slow down in the slightest as they smoothly rushed to the edge of the archery tower. Except for a few knights who hadn't been on the battlefield before, who had their skin cut through by the ferocious beasts, they once again completed a seemingly impossible feat.

Without stopping, Heller dashed to the side of the stone bridge with his sword. As the sword flew, he was unable to get through the dense horde of wild beasts on the other side of the river.

"Neil, go save them. Everyone else, form a circle formation and turn around!" The elite guard knights, who had been through a long practice, didn't show any signs of fear in the face of danger. They skillfully changed their formations to form a rotating circular formation, creating a relatively safe environment for the rescuers.

Neil and Linke were telepathically connected, and had long left their mounts the moment Link spoke. With a few quick jumps, they arrived at the edge of the archer tower. They did not need much help, and the fiery red light around them instantly shot up five to six meters, entering the upper layer of the archer tower.

Moments later, with his body burning with battle qi, Neil jumped out of the tower with one of his men between his arms. After landing on the ground, he turned around and sent a Cheetah flying through the line of defense.

After doing the same thing to save the two people on the other archer tower, the entire circular formation had already been squeezed smaller and smaller by the pressure from more and more wild beasts. After doing the same thing to save the two people on the other archer tower, the entire circular formation had already been squeezed smaller and smaller by the pressure from more and more wild beasts.

However, this time he did not act as an arrow, but instead stood alone at the back of the group. From the moment Brook, who had not said a word since the start of the battle, to the very front of the group, Lin Ke and Xue'er, who had already overspent a bit, were still forcibly protected at the center of the group. The group quickly attacked, and Brook continuously brandished his sword in a crazed manner, creating space for the group to accelerate at the cost of his entire body's damage!

And how could a group of wild beasts who had lost their will to fight be able to stop the speeding up of their cavalry?

Everyone died, but not a single person was harmed.

On the castle, the sea of cheers had long since turned into a sea of cheers. People embraced each other and praised loudly. People couldn't help but wave their hands and cheer loudly.

To them, this was a victory.

They all rushed towards the city gate at the same time. They would meet the warriors in the small square there, using their most sincere feelings.

Linke's face was somewhat pale.

He nodded to Burton, who had been waiting alone outside the gate and watching him, as he did when the horsemen burst into the city.

After the last knight entered the castle, he unhurriedly straightened his clothes and looked at a corner, as if by accident, until a dark shadow had disappeared there. Then, he returned to the castle and slowly closed the heavy stone door behind him, isolating the cheerful atmosphere within the castle.

The group that returned received an unprecedented welcome. Although the commoners who fled into the city did not have the time to prepare fresh flowers, their warm praise and respectful looks still made every knight who returned straighten his chest.

While Lin Ke was smiling and gesturing to the commoners, he discovered that Heller had already disappeared from the horseback, while Brooke had stealthily moved the guard knights in front and behind him, allowing the commoners to better see Lin Ke, Xue'er, and Neil. He slowly followed behind the group with a silly smile on his face.

A petite figure flashed in the corner behind the crowd.

Naturally, the crisis had not been resolved.

"Have all the civilians entered the castle?" Lin Ke did not care about everyone's dissuasion as he continued to walk up to the city wall. He had the civilians driven away from the city wall and replaced them with fully equipped guards.

"Yes, young master. None of the civilians of Novinha are left in the city," Burton said respectfully.

"Give them as much shelter from the night wind as you can, and give them my room. We'll spend the night on the walls," Rincewind said, still staring at the gathering beasts in the distance.

"The beast tide this time is very strange. In previous years, this kind of situation would never occur during this season, which is also the reason why everyone is a little flustered. In addition, the number of beast tide and their actions are also a little strange, in the past few years, even if there was a beast tide in Nauka, there wouldn't be such a large number of beasts. The beasts would appear early, and they wouldn't spread out like this, but they would directly attack Eastbourne."

"They seem to be looking for something," Neil suddenly spoke up.

Although Burton did not know Neil's exact identity, he did not criticize him insolently when he saw that he had an extraordinary foundation in power behind Link.

"Looking for what?" Lin Ke fell into deep thought as he stared at the beast packs scattered everywhere that did not attack the castle. Even though Xue'er shot and killed a few beasts near the city walls, the beast packs only silently retreated without stopping.

"There!" Xue'er suddenly exclaimed, "The beasts are starting to gather over there!"

Lin Ke quickly looked in the direction Xue'er pointed, but could only faintly make out the shadow of a stone house. "Tell me the exact location!"

"Close to the outermost stone houses on the south side of the main road, there is a windmill on the roof of one of the stone houses. One of the blades is missing a corner!" Xue'er quickly said.

Everyone looked at this peerlessly beautiful young girl in astonishment. This kind of night was so far away that they could barely see anything.

"Uncle Burton, help us find the owners of those houses. Maybe they can give us the answers." Link frowned slightly.

"Yes, young master Cohen." Burton bowed and stepped back, whispering a few words to his subordinates. The servants then turned around and left.

"Magical beasts are approaching!" Xue'er cried out in alarm, "Three high level Zerg magical beasts, with huge carapaces and many small eyes. Oh my god, one look is enough to tell that they are all powerful!"

The rest of the team rushed to the edge of the wall, but could not see anything clearly.

"Where did they go?" Lin Ke said.

"At the stone house where the beasts gathered, the three demonic beasts broke through the wall and entered," Xue'er was unable to see what was happening in the courtyard, and after a while, she said, "They came out again! However, they did not approach the city wall! They have left! "

Linke was silent.

Not long after, three men in their thirties and forties were brought before Link.

The three of them had never been so close to a noble before. Even though they felt that Link was different from the other nobles, they were still very nervous. They stood where they were, at a loss of what to do, before carefully looking around.

"Don't worry, I'm just here to ask you some questions," Linke said with a gentle smile. He turned around and continued to stare at the beast horde that could be vaguely seen in the darkness. "Has anything special happened in the recent days?"

After a long time, perhaps it was because they were worried that the lord would get impatient, but one of the older ones was the first to speak, "In reply to the lord, our ancestors have lived in this valley for generations. Other than the benevolent Master Moutes who built us a stone house, nothing else special has happened."

Link frowned but didn't look back. "Is there anything wrong with the stuff you hunt from the mountains, like picking up a magical beast's egg?"

The three of them were immediately shocked, but it was the older man who opened his mouth, "Lord Aristocrat, we really don't have any intention of fighting any magical beasts. Do you know that those magical beasts are all incomparably powerful? How could ordinary people dare to provoke magical beasts? We would never dare, never!"

Lin Ke slowly turned around to look at the three of them. This made the three of them immediately feel a lot of pressure. All of them lowered their heads. "Think carefully, have you brought anything special?!"

The younger one couldn't help but rub the corner of his shirt, obviously extremely nervous. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and lifted his head to slightly open his mouth. However, the moment he saw Link's eyes, he lowered his head.

Lin Ke noticed his expression, and said slowly, "Did you think of something? Don't worry, if you say it, it might be helpful to us in dealing with the beast tide. If it's really useful, I will reward you."

The younger man clenched his trembling hands tightly, clenched his teeth, and looked up.

"It might be a type of grass!"
