Alien Knights

"Don't stand there in a daze!" Barbara looked at the mess in front of her and asked Pedro anxiously: "Where is the entrance to the secret passage?"

"Oh, yes, the secret passage." Pedro stood up, walked to a shrine of the Virgin in the back, and pushed the partition below hard, revealing a downward staircase.

Randall looked at more and more boys and girls around him and said with a big head: "How many children are there here?"

Pedro looked around with a confused look on his face: "I don't know, thirty? Maybe forty?"

Aldenan's eyes widened: "I thought there were only a few!"

Randall looked at the hopeful eyes of the children and gritted his teeth: "We must take them all out!"

At this moment, Kellogg, who was in charge of the sentry, suddenly rushed in and said in a deep voice: "We have been discovered, and a large number of enemies are rushing here!"

Aldenan glanced behind him: "It's those handymen! Some of them must have gone to tip off the news!"

Karin took out the second dagger from her waist and twisted her wrist: "It doesn't matter how the enemy appears, the key is to prevent them from going back."

Randall raised his shield and said to the people around him: "Bulwer, Carol, you two find something to block the door together! Barbara, you and Kellogg are responsible for remote support! Aldenan, you come from the room Go around the top window to ensure that there are no enemies above our heads or behind us!"

"Father Pedro, I leave it to you to evacuate the children!"

The division of labor was completed, and everyone began busy preparations.

Bulwer and Carroll took down the long marble table, the statue of God the Father, the bed boards... They moved everything that could be used as obstacles and cover to the gate.

Barbara took off her cloak, revealing her beautiful and delicate face, with a light blue halo exuding all over her body. The flames began to beat on her fingertips, illuminating the entire room.

Kellogg took out the blowpipe and the poison-quenched flying needles from his bag, and looked back and forth between the pillars in the room, trying to find an excellent ambush location.

Aldenan climbed along the wall to the skylight, looked at Karin walking towards the backyard and asked, "Are you sure you don't want my help...?"

Karin shook the dagger in her hand.

Aldenan shrank his head: "Okay, pretend I didn't say anything."

Randall followed Pedro towards the inner room of the confessional.

After breaking open several closed doors, there were one or two children locked in each room. They were locked on small beds or in corners, their clothes were in tatters, and their bodies were covered in bruises.

"These bastards should go to hell!" Randall cut off the shackles on the child with a sword and roared: "In the so-called sanctuary, if they commit such evil deeds, their souls should be in the fire of karma forever. Burn!"

Pedro closed his eyes in pain, slowly held the injured child in his arms, and said softly: "I'm sorry, my child, God loves the world..."

"They're coming!"

Carol's dull shout came from the door.

Randall stood up, raised the sword in his hand, and said to Pedro: "Let's hold off the enemy, Father, please hurry up."

When Randall returned to the gate, Carroll and Bulwer were fighting with the enemy.

A heavy infantryman carrying a kite shield wanted to climb over the barrier at the door. Carroll grabbed the opponent's ankle, dragged him in front of him, hammered the unfortunate guy's helmet into a discus with one punch, and then threw it like garbage. , throwing the body into the enemy group.

Bulwer picked up the huge ax that was as tall as a man, jumped into the enemy's front line with his hoofs, and swung the ax like a whirlwind that washed away everything around him.

Shields, armor, weapons, broken limbs, flesh and blood, all turned into fragments with the swing of the minotaur's giant ax and fell into the narrow passage.

"Hold on! Maintain the front! Don't retreat!"

A knight commander with a gold-rimmed cross engraved on his armor shouted towards the front: "There are only two people on the other side, our reinforcements... ugh!"

A poisonous needle glowing with green light shot out from the door, accurately piercing the knight commander's right eye, shutting his mouth forever.

"Get out of the way!" Barbara said coquettishly, and a fireball the size of her face jumped out from her hands, drew an arc, and fell into the passage of the corridor.

boom!

A huge explosion resounded over the entire building.

Strong air waves and scorching flames devoured everything, and charred humanoid remains were scattered in the collapsed corridor.

Bulwer, who was hiding behind the obstacle, hurriedly put out the flames, glanced outside the door, shrugged and said, "The enemy has escaped."

Randall frowned and said, "It's just temporary."

Father Pedro gathered the children in the auditorium of the confessional and said to them: "These people are from the West. Although they look... strange, they are good people and they will take you to a safe place."

An older boy whispered: "As long as it's not here, anywhere will do."

Father Pedro glanced at the boy and sighed.

Pedro led the children to the front hall and said to Randall, who was strengthening the barricades: "The children are all here."

"Very good, you lead them through the secret passage first, and we'll stop behind."

Pedro shook his head: "I have to wait until all the children leave before I can leave?"

"Why?"

"Some children are very afraid of life. If I leave, who will take care of them?"

Randall, who was in some trouble, turned to Karin beside him for help.

The latter nodded: "I'll take the children into the secret passage."

Pedro clapped his hands: "Everyone, please follow Miss Forman, one by one. Don't fall behind or cry. You will reach a safe place soon."

Carroll came to Randall's side: "You are right, the enemy is here again."

Randall returned to the barricade and looked toward the end of the corridor.

A shield wall composed of tower shields stopped about a hundred meters away from the gate.

Carroll said to Randall: "Pretty familiar tactic, isn't it?"

Randall nodded with a wry smile.

Sure enough, a moment later, the sound of musket shooting rang out one after another.

Bulwell covered his head and heart with his ax and hid behind the barrier.

Randall threw a questioning look at Barbara, who shook her head and said, "It's too far, I can't hit them."

While dodging bullets, Carroll said to Randall, "You should know what's going to happen next."

"The first is shield wall advancement."

"Suppressive shooting followed."

Everything was as said. The enemy relied on the suppressive power of the musket to slowly push the shield wall to a position only fifty meters away from the door.

Randall lowered his body to the ground and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Defense against shelling!"

A shotgun was pulled out from the shield wall. As the fuse burned, there was a gunshot and hundreds of shrapnel hit the barrier at the door.

Waiting for the bombardment to end, Randall was the first to rush out of the hole-riddled bunker and shouted: "Take advantage of the gap between artillery reloading and rush into the enemy's position!"

Randall had only charged a dozen meters when he suddenly noticed chaos in the enemy formation.

The heavy infantry in the front row dropped their tower shields and turned around and ran away. The musketeers scattered the oil-filled paper all over the ground. The flag bearer even threw the battle flag to the ground.

"What are you doing?" Carol looked at the mess on the ground, confused.

At this time, Aldenan poked his head out of the skylight, his face filled with panic and fear that he had never seen before.

"Oh my God! Five thousand, ten thousand! No, probably more! They're coming!"
