Princess Jingge had a rare half-month of peaceful life.
Although the environment in the refugee gathering place was very bad and they had to face hunger and cold.
But for Princess Jingge, who had been on the run for more than half a year, as long as there was a safe place for her to hide, it was enough.
Originally, she would spend this winter like this.
But three days ago, she once again keenly felt that the atmosphere in the refugee camp had become tense.
More and more refugees came from all directions, making the refugees who had settled down feel uneasy, and conflicts broke out between them.
Ordinary people would indeed think that this was just a conflict among ordinary refugees.
But Princess Jingge could see something unusual. These refugees were obviously driven to Frostwolf Ridge consciously.
Combined with the fact that there were wandering knights and mercenaries mixed in the crowd and tried to assassinate the Frostwolf Duke, she realized that it was very likely that some force was targeting Frostwolf Ridge.
There must be many people with bad intentions among these refugees now.
And as more refugees continue to arrive, this conflict will definitely break out at some point.
"It seems that the situation in the north is not much better than that in the Kingdom of Jingge." Princess Jingge's face was complicated.
The Northland originally belonged to the Frostwolf Family, but now with the decline of the Frostwolf Family, even the last Frostwolf Ridge is threatened.
Although Knight Roman does not have the keen observation of Princess Jingge, he also feels a tense atmosphere among the refugees.
It was another night.
Princess Jingge lay down to rest.
But not long after she lay down, there was a sudden noise in the camp.
"Roman, what happened?" Princess Jingge sat up. Knight
Roman looked into the distance, where the flames were already soaring into the sky. Through the powerful perception of the third-level knight, he knew that a battle was taking place there!
"There are wandering knights slaughtering refugees!" Roman affirmed: "There are several official knights among them. It should be a premeditated killing."
"Massacre refugees?"
Princess Jingge thought of her previous speculation and her face sank.
These mercenaries are definitely coming for Frostwolf Ridge, and these refugees are tools to muddy the water in their eyes so that they can take advantage of the chaos.
If these mercenaries succeed, no matter what the fate of Frostwolf Ridge is, the refugees will definitely not survive this winter!
"Roman, we have to take action." Princess Jingge said.
Knight Roman hesitated. If he took action in front of everyone, Princess Jingge's position would be completely exposed.
Killing the mercenaries or escaping in the chaos, this was a dilemma.
"Let's do it. Now is the time to repay my gratitude."
"Also... a large part of these refugees are also my subjects."
Princess Jingge showed determination on her face. She had been hiding for so long and finally found a place where she could barely stay. She didn't want to hide anymore.
Roman nodded and disappeared from the spot. I don't know when a dagger appeared in his hand, shining with a cold light.
At this time in the refugee camp, the mercenaries were killing the refugees around them and driving them towards Frostwolf Ridge, trying to break through the defense line.
"Damn it, let's fight these people!" "
The lord gave us a place to stay and food. We can't let the lord down and drive all these people out!" The militia shouted.
Immediately, the militia members organized a resistance and fought with the mercenaries who mixed in with the crowd.
But the difference in strength between the two was too great. The militiamen rushed forward and soon fell in a pool of blood, but no one retreated!
When Roman arrived, he saw such a scene. They knew that going forward would lead to death, but the militiamen still went forward!
"If we lose the protection of Frost Wolf Ridge, we will eventually die. So why don't we fight and fight with these mercenaries!"
"That's right, compared to starving to death, I would rather die for the lord and fight for a way out for my family!" The militiamen shouted and fought to death.
"Humph, it's not easy to die?"
A mercenary captain snorted coldly and slashed with the knight's sword in his hand!
His strength has reached the level of a formal knight. How could these ordinary militiamen be opponents? It was a completely one-sided massacre.
But just as his sword slashed out, something suddenly held his knight's sword, and then a powerful force came. The huge force even made the knight's sword in his hand slip out of his hand, and the figure began to retreat continuously.
"How is it possible?!"
"Your strength is more than one level!"
The mercenary captain showed an unbelievable expression in his eyes.
He would never have thought that there was a knight above the first level hidden among these refugees!
After he realized it, his first reaction was to flee. Although they were all formal knights, the difference in strength would not be too great, but he did not want to take risks.
But as soon as he moved, Roman had already bullied him. The two quickly fought together, and the mercenary captain was immediately put at a disadvantage.
Seeing this, Roman frowned. Normally, it would not be too difficult for him to kill a first-level knight, but he had not eaten well during this period. Just relying on black bread was completely unable to support the knight's battle, which made his strength decline a lot.
But even so, he still seized the opportunity to use the dagger in his hand to wipe the mercenary's throat, causing his figure to fall in a pool of blood and lose his life.
"Kill him together."
At this time, the other two mercenary captains also reacted and killed together.
Roman was fighting one against two. Although he could not lose the upper hand, he could not free his hands to stop the mercenaries who killed the refugees, and he was secretly anxious.
Tap tap tap -
the battle did not last long, and a burst of horse hoof sounds were heard.
The Grey Wolf Knight rode his warhorse and took the lead. After arriving at the battlefield, he jumped off the horse and quickly joined the battlefield.
David followed closely, but he did not rush to join the battlefield. Instead, he observed the situation on the field and set his eyes on Knight Roman.
The next moment, his figure flashed to the side of a mercenary captain, and the knight's sword in his hand slashed out, and with a swift sword, he directly cut off the opponent's head!
Everything happened very suddenly. When the other mercenary reacted, a blood mark appeared on his neck. Roman was killed with one blood!
But before David could breathe a sigh of relief, several figures suddenly rushed towards him, and each figure exuded a very strong breath!
Obviously, everything the mercenaries did was just to assassinate the Frostwolf Duke. Now that the Frostwolf Duke has appeared, all assassins no longer hide themselves!
