ps: Sigh, I have used up all my rest days this monthso I have to change it later, sorry.
The shadow of the wall is close at hand. +¡ôThe two women only felt that their knees were weak. They looked at each other and let out the breath they had been holding for a long time.
However, there was no time for them to wipe the sweat from their foreheads, a voice had already sounded.
"Hey, are you leaving like this? This secret agent, um, miss? And our respected Majesty?"
This is a nice voice, a low, magnetic man's voice, with some overflowing enthusiasm, like a handsome young man inviting a lady to dance with him, but in the ears of the two women, this voice seems to be a magic spell , causing their footsteps to stop, as if falling into an ice cave, it almost felt like their bodies had even their blood frozen!
¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk, really, it¡¯s not a good habit to cover your eyes and pretend you¡¯re not seen.¡±
The small square was as quiet as water for a while but it seemed that just two breaths were a lot, which still made the speaker a little irritated, so with a soft sneer, a phosphorescent light cut through the air, allowing the magic to form The transparent ripples suddenly distorted, and then burst into tiny points of light like blisters!
Maria sighed, turned around slowly, and faced the middle-aged man who had been standing in the middle of the open space for some time.
"Okay, Your Majesty, the little game is over."
Sarachi looked a little embarrassed at the moment. His well-tailored short robe was covered with dust, and his hair, which was usually meticulously combed, was half-cut. There was also a damaged cut under his shoulders and sides, although it was very shallow. But after all, it was still scratched by a sharp blade. But even though his breathing was short, the sword master's smile was as normal as usual. Even brighter: "For your safety, please come back with me Ah. By the way, I'm sorry that I destroyed your residence, but there are many mages here. I think they should be able to repair it quickly, no I¡¯ll keep you waiting.¡±
"Aren't you going to put me in a dungeon? To prevent anyone from coming to take me away again?" The lady was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
"How could it be? I believe that after this time, there will no longer be such a chaotic party that can endanger your safety again."
The sword master also chuckled. However, he immediately swung his sword, and a harsh creaking friction buried the end of his sentence - a translucent sword light struck out of thin air, stopping a figure in mid-air. Then it hit the house on the corner with a loud bang!
"Are you still going to struggle?"
He sneered disdainfully, and his eyes fell on the figure he had just knocked away - the old knight was panting violently, barely supporting his body from the damaged wall, and bright red blood flowed from his nose and lips. Slide down and dye your gray beard a shocking red. But the old knight seemed unaware and just raised his sword. A series of rapid footsteps followed, and several figures of different heights came out from the end of the street and alley, and they walked through the open space. A sparse line of defense formed in front of the two women.
Sarachi dismissed this.
"My promise has not changed. As long as you are willing to abandon your sword and surrender, I can keep your lives. I can even give you the opportunity to serve the emperor But it is a pity. It seems that you must seek your own death? "
"Searching for death?" the old knight responded softly: "Maybe so. However, everyone here comes here because they don't care about life and death Is this death valuable? That's what we need to prove. Things. And now it seems that our value"
"Is what you said true?"
A loud question interrupted him. It also caused the entire venue to suddenly become silent for a moment. At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to the woman who was speaking, watching her step forward: "If we surrender, will this matter end? Will everything return to the way it was? Will you let these people go?"
"Of course, I use my family's reputation as a guarantee and His Majesty the Emperor's wisdom as a witness. I can guarantee your and their safety, as long as they are willing"
"So¡¡"
¡°¡Marquise Geoffroy!¡±
Before the woman could speak again, Raymond raised his voice and interrupted the conversation.
His voice was hoarse, and the muscles on his face were trembling with every note he uttered. He was obviously enduring great pain, but his voice was still calm and powerful: "Thank you for your kindness, but we don't Important, as long as we can complete our mission, we can pay any price, and now"
But his voice was immediately interrupted by the other party - she seemed to be chuckling, but the indifference in her voice was like a sharp blade of ice: ???At any cost? So what is your mission? "
The old knight was stunned.
"Of course I will take you and His Royal Highness out of here"
"What if it doesn't work? If you have paid the price, but we can't leave here, what are you going to do?" Maria's eyes swept around, and countless firelights were gathering from the surrounding streets and alleys: " Like now, what are you going to do?¡±
What are you going to do?
"Madam" the secret agent suddenly spoke softly.
Her voice was low but soundless, and the steel needle from her fingertips flew out, heading straight for the baby in the woman's arms a few steps away! But in the next moment, Maria raised her hand as if she had known it for a long time The layer of deerskin wrapped around the baby was suddenly swung up by her, and the few steel needles flying towards her were whipped away!
The secret agent couldn't help but be stunned.
"Get away!" Maria pointed at the opponent with the dagger she pulled out along with the deerskin, slowly backed away, and screamed in a stern tone: "Don't come here!"
So the spy could only retreat - the reason was not the dagger in the noble lady's hand, but the sword light that silently cut through the ground in front of her. If she had retreated any later, she might have been torn into two halves! However, as she advanced and retreated, she had already hid in the direct line between the opponent and the Sword Master.
"I'm sorry, ma'am!"
The secret agent sighed. For the infiltration mission, she did not carry many weapons. Apart from the daggers, there were only a few flying needles, although the woman in front of her was by no means her opponent. But the potion on the dagger also made her quite afraid. "I think you should understandthe life of this child is now related to the entire empire. It is even a crisis of survival for the entire continent! Do you know how big a crisis it will bring to the world if that monster is really resurrected? ? He will definitely try to recreate the original appearance of the empire. In a war of that level, hundreds of thousands, or even who knows how many, people will die!"
However, Maria shook her head
The other party¡¯s words were very sincere and correct, but for some reason, this correctness was igniting a certain emotion in her heartat this moment. The determination in her heart suddenly turned into a flame.
A flame of resentment!
"Hundreds of thousands of people will die? So what?" She sneered:
"Even if they are really dead, will it be the fault of a child who has not yet learned to speak? Will it be the fault of a mother who loves her children? The existence that caused all this should not be the damn Usurper Empire The imperial elector of the throne? Shouldn't it be the undead soul of that damn imperial emperor? Even, shouldn't it be the one who stupidly allowed that Tiberius Gracchus to obtain such strength and power without curbing it? Our Emperor Bellino XVII? Does all this have anything to do with me and my children? "
She hugged the child tightly to her chest, as if she was afraid that he would disappear in the next moment, but her voice became sharper and louder:
"It's your stupidity. Your greed, your cowardice that caused all this! When the king greedily coveted power that did not belong to him, where were you nobles who claim to be righteous? That imperial elector was plundering like crazy. When it did not belong to his power, where were you knights who claim to be righteous? But now. All these things are out of control under your connivance, but you have thought of such a 'just method', Is this your justice? Why does no one challenge the source of evil? But let me, a defenseless woman, and this child who is not sensible at all, bear this kind of this kind of damnation at the cost of life. Responsibility? What right do you have to do this?"
How ridiculous!
The woman¡¯s sharp questioning voice echoed in the space. Overcoming the friction of the armor, the shaking of the flames stopped the two long swords that were fighting, the waving warhammer and the chanting of spells, making the entire space silent again for a moment.
No one spoke because no one knew how to respond to this question.
Or, no need to respond at all
It was just the silence before the storm.
The fight still has to continue.
Sarachi breathed out, and in a thin voice, his figure disappeared and reappeared. In an instant, he had crossed thirty feet, and the sword blade in his hand extended forward, pointing directly at an enemy priest So far in the battle, Their spellcasters have almost exhausted all their spells, and the only remaining combat power is this priest.
Attacking him is not to succeed, but to disrupt their formation. As long as the female killer starts to move, she will be Sarachi's only target!
Threat?The existence of the great emperor's resurrection must not survive!
However, a layer of shining silver took away the sword master's vision.
It was the metal reflecting the luster of the flame, forming the shape of a long sword.
For a warrior like Saraqi, this is almost a no-brainer But this sword is so close, the biting cold air penetrates his neck, and the sharp blade is already close to his throat!
The sword was held in the hand of a person, and the person was standing not far from Saraqi. However, no one noticed where this person came from, so the sword was so fast, as if it cut through Coming from the void, he came to the Sword Master without any warning and pointed directly at the vital point! The timing was so ingenious that it was as if the sword master himself lunged forward and thrust his throat forward to make the opponent open!
The person who stabbed the sword couldn't be the old knight, because Salazi had been paying attention to his movements - although he also raised the sword, Raymond had been beaten dozens of feet before. In addition, now that the effect of the double acceleration technique has faded, even if he can move, the pile of injuries on his body may have made it difficult for him to run. It is extremely difficult for him to even keep up with Saraqi's speed, let alone stab him. Use this sword.
The enemies further away, even the caster, did not take any action at this moment.
"you¡¡"
Sarachi struggled to squeeze out a note. Then he found himself making a hasty leap - following the army in the Central Mountains, his subconscious that was honed in the battles of the orcs saved him. The moment his throat was opened, the painful heart in his hand folded downwards. The burst of sword light blasted a large crater several feet in diameter on the ground! The force of the push caused his body to roll to one side, so the shining sword blade also deflected, barely grazing his neck!
The numbness and tingling pain on his neck made the sword master reach out and press it there. Then he felt the sticky and warm liquid spread along his palm, the smell of blood penetrated his nostrils, and the thrilling fear almost blew through his whole body in an instant. pores. If he hadn't felt the blood gushing out, Sarachi would have almost lost his mind and used both hands to cover the wound.
Looking up from the blood on his palm, the sword master's eyes widened. Looking at the long sword that stabbed himthe sword was sharp and narrow, about four feet long. The sword reflected the shimmer of the surrounding flames, like a brilliance, but without the slightest fluctuation of magic power. Only the yellow The copper sword body and curved cage handle are the most familiar styles - it is the standard long sword uniformly issued to the Jinjinhua Knights.
The hand holding the sword also wears the metal gloves used by knights, and underneath is a layer of thin metal chain armor, which together form part of the full body armor. This exquisite armor also does not have any magical fluctuations. It is just a delicate style that covers the person's body and outlines the delicate curvature of a woman on the chest and waist.
A woman?
and. She was a young woman with a face that was beautiful enough to make even the normal Sword Master move But the blush on her face when she looked at her confused Sarachi - she looked at her. It's not powerful to go up. No, even too weak Her hand holding the sword was shaking. His breathing was disordered, especially his eyes that were wandering around in confusion. If they were to fight head-on, Salazi was almost certain that he could kill three or four such opponents in an instant. However, the fact is that it was such an opponent who almost pierced his throat with a sword!
In fact, that sword cannot be said to be exquisite. It is just a simple one-handed thrust. It is very flat and straight. But even more than twenty years ago, Saraqi could have made a sword that was faster than this. The scary thing about this sword is not the speed or the power, but that the opponent holding the sword appeared beside him at some point, but he didn't notice it at all!
Who is she and how did she appear?
Sarachi didn¡¯t have time to think Although it was only a short gap of less than a breath from the arrival of the sword to his avoidance, he had already wasted too much time. In order to save himself, the sword he originally used to attack his opponent was wasted, and he did not rush to the originally expected position, let alone kill the maid disguised as the spy - for a moment, Saraci's breathing almost stopped!
In his eyes, the woman has turned into a shadow, but no matter which shadow is holding a short sword in its hand!
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
The sword master lamented feebly in his heart for a moment, almost closing his eyes because it was his good eyesight that allowed him to clearly see that the dagger was not close to the countess's hand, and the baby's body was no longer enough. Three feet. At such a distance, if you want to stop a strike from a skilled killer, you can only rely on the legendary blessing of the great emperor.
?Maria also closed her eyes.
Facing the sharp blade stabbed by a killer, it seemed that this was the most normal reaction for ordinary people But in her heart, she wanted to turn her body and use herself to block the enemy's fierceness. He thrust forward and wanted to throw the baby backwards, hoping that a guard might be able to catch him. Or even if it falls to the ground, it is far safer than being stabbed by that blade.
However, she seemed to be very clear in her heart that this was all in vain - the killer's speed was too fast. No matter whether he turned around or raised his hand, it was impossible to get faster than the opponent.
Deep fear blocks everything like a piece of ice. Without even appearing, the cold air spreads into people's bones. Time seems to be stretched infinitely, and the world falls into a deep silence, leaving only oneself. Her soul faced all this alone, with only the monotonous and manic beating of her heartbeat beating Maria's eardrums.
Once again, again and again
There seemed to be countless images flashing through my mindthe childhood that was once carefree but ended prematurely, the girl's dream that was once innocent but was finally ended by the aging ruler, the chaotic and decadent days. , andthat scary and weird young man who seemed to have changed everything about him.
Where will he be, and will he know about the misfortune that is about to happen to this child with whom he has a deep relationship?
The messy thoughts continued like this until a force pulled her body. She also put the weight of her body, the noise around her and the flickering firelighteverything and all the feelings back into her mind. She heard herself screaming, hysterically, and also heard the clanking sound of metal. However, soon, she noticed that her shoulders were resting on something soft. The warm feeling penetrated the fabric, but it seemed that all her fears were gone. Drive away all the ice and cold!
She opened her eyes and saw the swaddle in her hand.
The wrapping cloth was a little messy, but no blood marks or gaps were seen. The baby's small face was exposed from the wrapping. The baby's face was bright red by the surrounding firelight, and he was sleeping soundly. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
