A few days later, Dast took Princess Anna to the prairie on the border of the Seven Hills Empire. The sky was high and the sea was vast, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and from time to time, groups of wild horses and wild deer could be seen. After walking for a day or two, Seven Hills
Even if the Qiu Empire wanted to hunt him down, it would be beyond their reach.
Dust's nervousness finally relaxed and he hummed a tune happily. The gold and silver jewelry that Princess Anna brought with her were enough to keep him worry-free for the rest of his life. As long as he escaped from the Seven Hills Empire, he could be with the little one in his arms.
The beauty has lived a life without shame or impatience. If he is lucky, he might even get the right to inherit the throne of the Qiqiu Empire. And the price he paid is just a few days of small adventures. There is no such good deal in the world.
thing!
——Until the cavalry of the Qiqiu Empire suddenly appeared in front of them.
It was a cavalry team of ten, and it seemed that they had been guarding the border for a long time. Although Dast avoided the First Field Army, because he spared the long journey, the news that the princess had been abducted reached him.
Sent to the hands of various border guards. The border of Qiqiu Empire is now filled with such cavalry teams in groups of ten, like a fine fishing net.
"People over there! Put down Princess Anna immediately!" The soldier's shout broke Dast's last illusion. He drove the horse forward a few steps in a daze, and the leading sergeant immediately rushed toward Dast.
He shouted sternly: "I count to three! If you don't dismount, you will go to the underworld!"
"Your Highness Princess... there is a white flag in my package. Can you take it out for me?"
Daxter had secretly prepared this white flag when he first ran away with Princess Anna, but now he no longer cares about his image in front of the princess. Image is not important!
Anna nodded and rummaged through the package obediently. Dust couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude. He thought Princess Anna would force him to fight the cavalry team, but he didn't expect that the little princess would be so reasonable.
Unexpectedly, Anna pulled out the white flag and threw it towards the cavalry team with a "hoo". Before Dast could react, Anna shouted at the sergeant, "This is what the White Knight has prepared for you."
The white flag! Raise it, and the White Knight will let you go!"
Even if Dast wanted to dismount and beg for mercy, it was useless - the cavalrymen looked at each other and attacked with the momentum of not stopping until Dast's head was cut off. Dast could only turn the horse's head in a hurry and hug Anna.
The princess escapes together.
Several arrows whizzed past Dast's body, scaring Dast into a cold sweat.
Princess Anna, who was hiding in Dust's arms, was still "comforting" him thoughtfully: "Mr. White Knight! Don't care about my mood! Let your falcon catch the non-commissioned officer and throw him to death.
Bar!"
"Falcon? I...I...okay..."
Dust put his hand in his mouth and blew a whistle that was not too loud. Then, the eagle that had been hovering over him flew higher and higher...until it disappeared.
"Lord White Knight, did your falcon fly in the wrong direction?"
"No, it is...absorbing the power of the sun god Apollo!"
"But it's gone... When will it take enough strength to fly back?"
"Probably until...when the sun goes down??"
After saying this, Dast looked at the sky with a guilty conscience: the sun was shining brightly, and the sun was scorching.
"How about, Sir White Knight, let your hound come up... Huh? Where is Sir White Knight's hound?"
"That stupid dog? He's always been more sneaky than me -" Dast quickly changed his words mid-sentence, "He went to fetch reinforcements!"
"Then when will you be able to come back?"
"Generally speaking...it comes back later than the Falcon."
Dust didn't know what the expression of Princess Anna in his arms was now - she must be extremely disappointed anyway.
Unexpectedly, Princess Anna's voice became even more excited: "So, will I finally be able to see the White Knight's superb archery skills with my own eyes today?"
Dust lowered his head, and Princess Anna happened to turn her head over. He saw that Princess Anna's eyes were full of longing, even shining with stars.
Dast wanted to slap himself. Why did he lie to this innocent princess in the first place?
Seeing Dast's gloomy face and not speaking, Princess Anna finally realized something. Her eyes darkened suddenly, as if she had seen the end of the world. Even so, she still tried her best to suppress the urge to cry, and tried her best to Squeezing out a smile: "Sir White Knight...you will save me, right?"
"Please rest assured, Your Highness Princess! I don't even pay attention to just ten of them!"
Dast patted his chest, suddenly feeling that he was omnipotent. He stopped his horse, took off the bow from his back, and aimed an arrow at the soldiers who were rushing over.
"I am protected by Apollo!" He shouted to the group of cavalry with all his strength, "Who wants to come and die first?"
His momentum calmed the cavalry. They reined in their horses one after another and did not dare to step forward for a while. Apollo's protection is extremely rare and powerful, and those who are protected can easily stand among the thousands of troops. Kill the enemy's general and turn a huge army into a rabble without a command. If Dast really has Apollo's protection, no one in the entire Seven Hills Empire can stop him from escaping with the princess.
Princess Anna excitedly joined in: "Did you hear that? It's the blessing of the sun god Apollo! It's the rarest type of protection alongside Artemis! Even if you are hiding behind the walls of Constantinople, The White Knight's arrow can penetrate the city wall and hit your ankle!"
The ten soldiers looked at each other and decided to step forward and give it a try.
"Are you still coming? What a pity, you are Anna's father's soldiers, I could have spared your lives."
Dast was so high-spirited that he pulled Apollo's bow like a full moon. He shot out an arrow with a rainbow-like momentum. The soldiers were so frightened that they all closed their eyes——
Nothing happened.
"Master White Knight...where is your Apollo protection?"
"Your Highness Princess... Apollo's protection can allow the arrow to penetrate the city wall, but if it fails... there is nothing we can do."
The little princess suddenly made a "tsk" sound from her mouth.
Dast ignored Princess Anna's thoughts, and before the soldiers could react, he galloped away - but because he was carrying one more person on board, the soldiers were getting closer and closer to them.
A herd of wild horses came running towards her. Anna suddenly tore her little skirt off. Just as Dust's horse passed by the herd of wild horses, Princess Anna suddenly reached out and grabbed the body of a wild horse. , flew from Dust's horse to the wild horse!
The wild horse couldn't bear to be ridden on its back, so it ran and jumped wildly, trying to throw Anna off its back, but after a few ups and downs, Anna firmly controlled the wild horse and drove it to catch up.
Daxter.
"Give me the bow!"
The little princess shouted at Dust.
Dast handed over the Apollo Sun Bow in a daze.
"And arrows!"
Dast obediently held up the quiver with both hands.
The little princess grabbed the bow with one hand and nocked an arrow with the other, aiming at the soldiers behind her amid the violent jolts.
Dust stared blankly at the wildly resisting wild horse under Anna.
"You don't know how to ride a horse? This horse... doesn't even have stirrups?"
