Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 51 East Gate

Meanwhile, outside the castle, Robin was constantly moving on the rooftops of the civilian neighborhood.

The moonlight shone on his tired but determined face, and his mind kept replaying the days he had spent with Eric, Lily and Knight Malizzi.

A nameless anger surged from my heart.

He was just living his life as per the routine, so why did reality push him to the brink of death?

Meanwhile, in Winston City, Manette was anxiously gathering manpower.

His face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm. He was shocked by Robin's powerful strength, but also felt annoyed at failing to complete the task.

He knew that this matter was of great importance and Lord Blot would never let go of anyone who knew the secret.

At this time, Thomson and Malizzi's family fled desperately under the cover of night.

The crying of children and the sobbing of women seemed particularly desolate in the silent night.

Thomson's heart was filled with worry. He didn't know whether Robin was safe or whether they could successfully escape this terrible disaster.

Raymond was secretly preparing the siege plan.

There was a crazy glint in his eyes, as if he had seen the city of Winston falling under his feet and Lord Blot being trampled under his feet.

He kept giving orders to his knights and apprentices, and the whole team was filled with a tense and excited atmosphere.

In the early hours of the morning, the world seemed to be covered in a thick layer of ink. There was no light in the sky yet. Everything was sleeping in the darkness, and the silence was a little depressing.

Robin hid in a corner of a roof. His breathing gradually became steady, but his body was still tense. Suddenly, an inexplicable alertness woke him up.

His sharp eyes instantly locked onto Raymond who was standing not far away.

In the moonlight, Raymond's figure was stretched out. He stood there quietly, like a ghost walking out of the darkness, exuding a mysterious and dangerous aura.

"If you want to know what Lord Blot has done, you must cooperate with me." This time, Raymond did not hesitate as before. His words were filled with unquestionable certainty, and he directly pointed out the key point.

"Hmph!" Robin snorted coldly, his eyes full of vigilance and suspicion. He was wary of Raymond's sudden appearance and words, and did not respond immediately.

Raymond didn't seem to care about Robin's attitude. He took two slow steps forward. The moonlight shone on his face, outlining his stern features. "You will cooperate with me. When daybreak comes, Thomson and the others won't be able to hide any longer, and Knight Malizzi will be completely exposed to the sunlight."

His voice was low and hoarse, as if he was stating an established fact, and every word struck Robin's heart hard.

Robin's heart tightened, he knew that what Raymond said was true.

At this moment, Thomson was taking Malizzi's family to avoid pursuit, and Malizzi was also secretly looking for a chance to escape. Once daybreak came, they would have nowhere to hide.

"What do you want me to do?" Robin finally asked after a moment's silence. His voice was steady but with a hint of helplessness. He knew that he didn't have many choices.

Raymond's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a subtle hint of pride. "We are preparing to attack the East Gate. I hope you, the Archer Knight, will cooperate with us and help us suppress the archers and knights on the gate."

Robin's pupils shrank slightly when he heard this, and a wave of emotion surged in his heart. Attacking the East Gate was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous action, but he also knew that if they couldn't break through the gate, none of them would be able to escape.

After a brief thought, Robin nodded slowly, his eyes revealing determination and resoluteness, "Okay, I promise you."

At this moment, a few dog barks were heard in the distance, breaking the tranquility of the night, as if foreshadowing the approaching dawn and the beginning of a thrilling battle.

Robin and Raymond stood in the darkness, their figures shrouded in the night. Their fate would be closely intertwined with the entire city of Winston in this siege.

In this operation, Raymond knew that Robin's bow would play a crucial role, so he specially prepared two hundred feather arrows for him.

Robin filled the quiver, and the remaining quivers were carried by two cautious knight apprentices. Their eyes were full of bloodthirstiness and madness, which made Robin more vigilant.

He always felt that the people here didn't seem alive.

"Remember, we only have one chance." Raymond whispered to Robin, with a determination to fight to the death in his voice.

Robin nodded slightly, holding the pulley compound bow tightly in his hand, feeling the familiar touch from it, and secretly preparing for the upcoming battle in his heart.

They quietly approached the East City Gate, and in the night, the outline of the East City Gate gradually became clear.

The towering watchtowers on both sides of the city gate stood quietly like silent guards. The archers on the towers were watching their surroundings vigilantly. Even the slightest movement could be a signal for them to sound the alarm.

In front of the city gate, there were chevaux de frise and trenches. These fortifications were like an insurmountable chasm, blocking their progress.

The heavy city gate, made of solid wood and metal, with bolts and chains tightly connected, exudes a cold and hard aura, as if declaring its inviolability.

Robin hid in a shadow, his eyes fixed on the city gate.

Without heavy weapons, if they wanted to breach the city gates, they had to kill all the gate guards and force their way through from the inside. The strength of the guards before them should not be underestimated. Winston City wasn't a large city, so it only had two gates. The east gate had two hundred militiamen and fifty archers on high alert, with the three knights being the backbone.

The Holy Shield Knight Theodore is famous for his impenetrable defense and rich combat experience. The other two new knights are also young and energetic, and their fighting power should not be underestimated.

What made Robin feel even more stressed was that Lord Blot seemed to have anticipated this day.

He took out all the secret breathing medicines for the apprentices in the lord's mansion in one breath, which resulted in more than twenty official knights being added to the territory.

Apart from the seven who had mysteriously disappeared while practicing Earth Dragon Breathing Technique, there were at least twenty knights in the territory, including the lord's personal guards.

This means that once the attack on the East Gate reaches a stalemate, they will be instantly overwhelmed by the knights and troops pouring in from all directions.

"Action!" Raymond gave the order in a low voice. Although his voice was soft, it was like a flash of lightning that cut through the night sky.

Robin stood up quickly, pulled the pulley of the compound bow, and the first feather arrow shot towards the soldier on the watchtower with a sharp sound of wind.

With a whoosh, the soldier fell down before he could sound the alarm.
