The orcs' ambush caused heavy losses to the kingdom! More than a dozen airships were all shot down, and all the pilots operating the airships were killed. Even Robert himself relied on the desperate protection of the Knights of Friends to break out of the encirclement of the Lions and Winged Men! With the humiliation of defeat, he fled back to the sea. The blue sea sparkled in the sun, and dozens of Otto Kingdom warships were drifting on the sea. Robert stood on a warship with a bandage on his body, looking at Riverbend Castle and the forest in the distance with a gloomy look. Although he couldn't see it, Robert knew that there was an orc army in those forests, and they were the elite of the orcs - the Kuito Lion Man. While Robert was standing on the bow of the ship, hiding his face and meditating, the two princes and princesses came over. "Father, are you okay with your injury?" The eldest prince Grayn looks handsome. His beautiful blond hair inherited from his mother is tied back casually. He gives the impression that as long as he puts on women's clothes, he will instantly change his appearance. Become a beauty! "I'm out of the way." Robert glanced at his son. Although he heard that his son was very "manly" in the knight academy, Robert was never very satisfied with his masculine appearance. So girly! When Robert just finished speaking, Robert's daughter laughed heartily: "Hahaha, look, brother, I told you that your father will not die so easily!" Robert's daughter Princess Boudica wore silver He is half-armored, has short red hair inherited from Robert, and the confident expression on his face gives him a heroic look. If Prince Glenn looks like a transvestite, then Princess Boudica looks like a tomboy! Facing Princess Boudica¡¯s careless words, Robert did not feel displeased at all. Instead, he laughed: "You stinky girl! Have you ever said that about your father?" Facing his children. The melancholy in Robert's heart faded a little. At this moment, a white and fat official walked up quietly. "Your Majesty, the raven has sent the information over." Robert stopped smiling: "Oh? Tell me." The official glanced at the prince and princess standing aside, and seeing that Robert did not tell them to avoid it, he directly Report from the opening report: "There is indeed only an elite legion of the Kuito Lions and a winged man regiment in the forest. No trace of the orc army was found." Robert frowned and slowly said: "Ms. Tamara How are you doing now?" The official looked serious: "Ms. Tamara is fine, but during the previous breakout, her magic power was excessively consumed and she needs to recuperate." Robert glanced at the city shrouded in magic fog: "Master Tula. Are you back?" "Not yet." The official shook his head, "But two groups of citizens have escaped from the city on boats." "Hmm" Robert held the edge of the boat with his hands, thinking. "Your Majesty, what should we do now?" the chubby official asked cautiously. Robert was silent and said nothing. Seeing that Robert hadn't spoken for a long time, the official hesitated and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to abandon Reach Castle and evacuate to Averna?" "Abandon Reach Castle!?" Princess Boudica said angrily, "Lord Coris, do you know what you are talking about!?" "Her Royal Highness, there is nothing we can do about this." The official known as Coris showed a bitter smile on his face, "The orcs will never let it go. We recapture Riverbend Castle. And even if we recapture Riverbend Castle, Ms. Tamara will not be able to use magic. " "Sister, the current situation is indeed not optimistic," Prince Green also defended Corris. "But we can't give up Riverbend Castle so easily!" Princess Boudica said angrily. "You are absolutely right, Your Highness the Princess." Korris surrendered, "I am just giving you an opinion. Your Majesty still has to decide how to make the decision." Robert thought for a while, then slowly said: "The North has fallen. If Riverbend Castle also falls, it will mean that most of the kingdom has fallen into the hands of the orcs." Robert stared at the official, "Corris, do you know what this means?" His expression stiffened. Of course Corris knows what it means! Once Robert gives up Reach Keep, it will be a direct territory in the name of the king. There are only two cities left, Holder City in the south and Tara City in the west! And this also means that Robert, the king's direct territory, is smaller than the territories of the Grand Duke of Rose in the south and the Grand Duke of Wind's Breath in the west. Once this happens, Robert's prestige will be reduced to the bottom. At that time, the Duke of Windbreath will probably jump out immediately and settle the accounts with Robert as the heir of Duke Windbreath! And whether the Grand Duke of Rose??Will obey the king's orders. It will also be a question worth exploring. "Your Majesty just put forward an idea. It's up to you to decide how to make the decision." "Let me think about it again" Robert closed his eyes. Although Robert doesn't like politics, that doesn't mean Robert is stupid! Therefore, Robert is very aware that his current crisis lies not only with the orcs, but also within the kingdom! While Robert was thinking about how to solve the crisis at hand, there was a sudden noise on the ship. "Look there!" "What is that!?" "How dazzling that light is" Robert raised his head and looked to the south. I saw a very large airship slowly appearing on the horizon with a golden light. Robert squinted his eyes and stared at the airship: "This is the airship of the Church of Light?" On the airship, several senior clergymen looked at the Riverbend Fort shrouded in magic mist in surprise, as well as the several boats parked on the sea. Ten ships. "Could it be that Riverbend Fort has fallen!?" "This is trouble!" A paladin frowned. "No, this is good news for us." The cardinal smiled. The paladin looked at the bishop in astonishment: "Your Majesty, why did you say that?" "Have you seen those ships?" The cardinal pointed at the ships drifting on the sea. The paladin looked at the sea and nodded: "I saw it." "What did you see from it?" The paladin thought for a while: "The people above should be the soldiers of the Otto Kingdom and the refugees in the city, right?" "No! A fanatical smile appeared on the cardinal's face, "Those are the lost lambs waiting for our rescue and a king who will serve the Supreme God!" When the paladin heard the cardinal's words, his eyes lit up. "Let the priests prepare to preach. All other combatants should stay on the ship. They are not allowed to go out without permission." The cardinal looked fanatical. "The glory of the Lord will surely fill the earth!" Paladin: " The glory of the Lord will surely fill the earth! "The sudden appearance of the church was like a shot in the arm, making all the soldiers and citizens who didn't know what happened cheer. "Great! That is the Holy Light-class battleship of the Church of Light! Our reinforcements have arrived!" "Long live the Supreme God!" Hearing the cheers of the soldiers, Robert's heart was filled with bitterness. Now, even if Robert wants to continue to refuse the church's assistance, he may not be able to find a sufficient reason to convince the people below. At this moment, the minister standing behind Robert suddenly said: "Your Majesty, are we giving up Reach Castle?" "Abandoning Reach Castle? What are you talking about?" The person who spoke was Prince Glen, who looked at He felt a little happy, "Hasn't the Church already found a way to purify the magic mist? As long as we have the help of the Church, we can definitely take back Riverbend Castle!" Robert also agreed with Prince Gray's words. With the help of the Church of Light, it will be easy to get rid of the magic fog in Riverbend Castle, and regaining Riverbend Castle will not be a problem at all. But Robert found that the seriously overweight minister had a serious face, and his expression did not look like he was joking. "Can you tell me why you made this suggestion?" Robert asked seriously. Corris: "If we abandon Riverbend Castle, the impact of the church will be reduced to a minimum. Then, as long as our people can quickly regain the royal city, there is still a chance." Robert glared, He grinned: "Hahaha, there is this trick! Why didn't I think of it before?" "Although I don't like those people in the church, but is it worth giving up a city just to drive them away?" Princess Boudica said she couldn't understand. "It's indeed not worth it. But we have no choice!" Robert sighed. "No choice?" Princess Boudica and Prince Gray said they couldn't understand why Robert said that. "Well it's a little troublesome to explain. You can ask Ms. Tamara later." Princess Boudica: "I understand." Prince Glenn: "Okay, father." "Your Majesty, you have made up your mind. Are you done?" Coris asked again. "Well" Robert touched the red beard on his chin, "If you want to give up Reach Castle now, you have to have an excuse." "Just delay it for a while.At some time, I thought I would deliver it to my door with an excuse. "Kris glanced at the direction of the land. "Are you talking about the orc reinforcements? Robert thought for a while, "Hey, indeed." At that time, we will have no choice but to retreat. " Soon after Robert made up his mind, the church's airship had flown to the side of Robert's ship. When the airship stabilized, the door of the airship finally opened, and a bridge of holy light was seen, directly from the exit of the airship. Stretching in front of Robert, it looked like a golden arch bridge. On the arch bridge, a cardinal walked out of the airship with golden light, stepping on the bridge made of holy light, and came to Robert. "King Otto, I am the provincial bishop of the Crescent Church: Dresford, I come with the glory of God to help you obtain salvation! "
