"The war changes rapidly."

This sentence is really suitable to describe this war.

On the first day, Yilin still occupied the offensive, but all the ships in the port were burned that night. Yilin completely lost the possibility of attack. Are there any ships? Of course there are, but not enough, and they are very slow to transport. The king obviously would not give Yilin the opportunity to send the entire army over and then start the war. Defense is Yilin's only way out.

The next day, Earl Casper's troops finally arrived as scheduled, with a force of two thousand troops. However, four thousand troops arrived on the opposite side, and a large number of supplies were also included.

On the third day, all 19,000 troops on Yilin's side had been assembled. However, the military power gathering on the king seemed to have just begun. The strength of both sides began to grow bigger and bigger.

A huge quagmire was already unfolding in front of Yilin. The people's hearts were floating in the team. Earl Casper, who had just arrived for two days, had already started to make small moves.

This made her anxious.

When the war started, she did not have enough ships to transport the troops to the other side in one go. After passing in batches, she could only end up being solved by the king in batches.

If the war begins, she can only wait for the king to assemble all his troops and then cross the river. At that time, she will have no power to resist.

As for Gray...

He was completely depressed.

Yilin even issued an order to block the entire castle. Not only Gray, but everyone must check when entering and leaving, and the reasons must be explained.

Looking at the horse-refusing stakes placed at the gate of the castle and the soldiers patrolling each other, the black cat who had always hoped that Gray would cause trouble began to become angry: "Oh my god, at this time, she actually locked her most powerful combat power in the castle. What was she thinking?"

"She just doesn't believe me." Gray replied softly.

"Uh... Isn't this sentence usually what I should say?"

"I think I'm starting to understand, but I understand, but I'm confused again." Holding my cheeks, Gray said leaning against the fence of the balcony: "I can't believe that I'll add 'only' behind 'she just doesn't believe me', which means that this is not a big deal, but it should be a big deal."

"To be honest, I'm a little uncomfortable with you so much sentimentality."

"I want to help Elin and fulfill her vow, but she doesn't believe me. I want to help everyone, but I can't make sure that my actions really help them. Maybe I've also harmed them. I want to take my little knights to the battlefield to promote the spirit of chivalry, but they are not even allowed to enter the barracks. If the spirit of chivalry is not what he literally writes, what's the meaning of the oath of knights? It's even more incomprehensible than the profound magic totem."

"Stop!" The black cat quickly raised its claws: "I feel more uncomfortable than before when you do this. I think I should convince you to return to your original state. Although that state is also bad, a two-go knight Lich can always make my ears clearer than a philosopher Lich."

Grey turned his face and looked at the black cat quietly.

After thinking about it, the black cat was discouraged again: "But I can't seem to convince you. Oh my God, what did I do? My words are so convincing that I can't even argue myself!"

Gray slowly turned his face toward the castle gate. Watching the soldiers checking in and out one by one, it was also confusing to see people passing through the mask.

"Maybe only action can solve the problem! Come on! Let's go out and watch the Knights drama! A new drama should be released today! There is nothing in this world that a Knights drama cannot solve. If so, watch two!"

"I don't want to go."

"Then let's act here? Let's act by ourselves! I like to play villains, really! Look at my fallen posture! Oh! I was caught! Look! I'm going to fall! I fell!" The black cat lay straight on the balcony fence, secretly opening one of his eyes and shouted: "Look! Have I made progress! Does it bring you the pleasure of defeating the mastermind behind the scenes!"

Gray didn't even look at him, but just stared at the castle gate.

The black cat had no choice but to struggle and climb up again.

"Let's go and help Yilin? The situation is not good now, she needs you! You have a vow with her, you have to help her, right?"

"It was she who asked me to stay here and obey orders, and that was part of our pledge."

"Then let's go out to help the old lady! Now there are so many old ladys who need to cross the street outside, and they need you!"

"Maybe my help won't bring what they want."

"Then let's call up the super invincible Silver Moon Knights? How can knights not be trained? You also want to explain the mystery of the knight spirit to them, right?"

"But I don't understand."

The black cat was completely depressed, and his whole head drooped with a "click".

"What did I do? Did I convince an excellent knight, but turned him into a completely lazy knight without any shining points?"

"But you are right, you can't even argue with yourself, right?"

"Yes. Sometimes I hate myself, why are you so smart in places you shouldn't be smart? This is really a desperate thing."

The black cat could only helplessly follow Gray and stared at the castle gate.

"Grey!"

"Dongdongdongdongdong", the door was knocked. It was Shelley's voice.

Gray looked back.

The black cat hurriedly said, "I'll go open the door!"

As he said that, it had jumped off the fence and ran towards the door, and another pounced, pulling the handrail of the door with the weight of its body.

Shelley opened the door and walked in with some pastries on the dining plate.

"Gray, I made some pastries with my own hands. Do you want to try it? Huh? You really have a cat!"

"I don't want to eat." Gray turned his head and continued to stare at the castle gate.

"Then... I'll put it here, eat something when you want to eat. Try if what I cook is delicious. This is also part of my wedding life experience!" Shelley hesitated for a moment and said, "Grey, you don't have to be sad. We all know that it's not your fault. But there are many things in reality, and there is no way. In any case, you are the greatest knight in my mind."

After being silent for a long time, Gray asked softly: "Shelley, what will you do when you are confused?"

"Confused?" Shelley thought about it with his hands and thought for a long time but couldn't remember when he had been confused. He could only say: "The pastor of the church told me that if I did something bad, I could go and pray for the forgiveness of the Holy Spirit. If I was confused, I could go. I went to confess a few times, but I had never been because of my confusion."

"Um."

Gray simply said 'um' and stopped talking. He continued to stare at the castle gate.

Perhaps the atmosphere was really awkward, Shelley could only whisper: "I...I'll go downstairs first, you can stay alone."

Shelley left and brought the door with her. The room returned to its original silence.

"Church?" Gray stretched his neck and looked to the side.

Not far away is the church, the private chapel of Beshill's house.

"You don't really want to go to church, do you?" asked the black cat.

Gray did not answer, but silently turned his head back and stared at the castle gate.

Time passes by bit by bit.

The sun draws an arc back and forth in the sky that is the same as before.

The whole world seemed to be still to Gray.

...

On the fourth night...

"Miss Yilin! The king's men have begun to cross the river!"

"What?" Yilin's eyes widened.

"Just discovered it!"

It was a river beach ten kilometers away from Yilin's military camp.

Yilin quickly assembled the troops and rushed to the front line.

Soon, she stood on the hill and saw a large number of ships gathered on the river bank.

Yes, not only crossing the river, but also half of it. On the river beach that stretched for miles, there were densely packed with the king's army.

The king did not choose to attack the port, nor even choose a river beach that could land well from Irene controlled. Instead, he chose a place full of reefs.

Many ships have been stranded, but what does it matter? They didn't plan to use these ships to go back anyway. Or they have more ships and don't care at all.

The heavy infantry had already built a horse-resisting horse on the river beach and formed a formation. Many militiamen were unloading cargo from stranded ships with hanging wheels.

"Miss Yilin!" A soldier rushed over and knelt on one knee and said, "The king's army has also been discovered in another place!"

"There is something else?" Yilin pulled out the sword at her waist without hesitation: "Listen to everyone, we can't let them land successfully! We must drive them all back to the river! This is an opportunity!"

Before he finished speaking, there was already a commotion behind him.

Yilin was stunned.

"What's going on?"

"Not good!" Another soldier rushed to Yilin: "Miss Yilin, the two thousand troops of the Field family have launched a rebellion! They are moving closer to His Majesty the King!"

"How is it possible? Edward III is still under house arrest!"

"Not good! The Kasper family's army has also launched a rebellion! They have taken the port!"

With a staggering step, Earl Grugru, who was standing beside Elin, almost fell down.

In an instant, Yilin seemed to have been pulled out of all her strength, and opened her eyes wide and slowly put down the sword that was raised above her head.

"How could this happen... So, Count Casper did not come to perform his merits, but to launch a rebellion?"

"Retreat." Earl Grugru took deep breaths and gritted his teeth and said, "Now we retreat, we still have the possibility of negotiations. If we launch an attack, we will be wiped out tonight."

"Will he negotiate with us?" Yilin asked back.

...

At this moment, on the river, the third king's troops were sailing towards the port that had been controlled by Earl Casper.

The king stood at the bow of the ship with his long sword. He looked up slightly at the moon in the sky.

"It's the Scarlet Moon again. Well... let's end the battle before noon tomorrow." As he said that, he looked back.

Standing behind him was the Bishop wearing a solemn white robe, a tall hat and an old-fashioned face.
