Ella pulled Amy and ran out of the carriage in a panic. She saw many strong men holding axes and spears rushing toward the carriage aggressively, knocking down the bandits who blocked the road like chopping melons and vegetables. The hillside in the distance
A black flag flew from the sky, with a bloody crow embroidered on it.
As soon as Ella and Amy got off the carriage, Su's curse that made them unable to speak was naturally lifted.
"Yes, has any knight come to save me? Which family's emblem is the bloody crow? I want to make him a crow knight... No, it sounds like some funny character. Otherwise, blood crow knight
?Amy, what name do you think sounds good?"
"Your Majesty, wake up! I've heard people say that the pirates who have robbed our country these days use crows as their flags! And you can't go wrong with this bloody crow. It must be the one known as the 'King of Beasts'
Pirate! It is said that he harms a virgin every night. It is even said that the entire flag is dyed red with the blood of virgins! This is the public enemy of women and the most dangerous pirate to women!"
"Sea, pirates? This place is less than half a day's drive from Constantiniya! It's not a small castle in a remote country, but Constantiniya! It's the most important capital of the empire! Our governor, military generals, and field armies,
What on earth are the border guards doing and why do they let pirates come here?"
A flying ax flew past Amy's ear, which scared Amy and pulled Ella's sleeve wildly: "Your Majesty, can we escape first and then pursue these issues?"
Several bandits huddled near the carriage noticed Ella and Amy and ran towards them. Amy hurriedly used Aphrodite's protection and looked at the two running bandits with a pitiful expression.
:
"Brother Bandit, those pirates are so scary, can you help me..."
"Don't be afraid! There are bandit brothers here to carry you! You can rest assured... Huh? Where is the person? Never mind! Come on for this cute little maid!"
Affected by Amy's magic, the two robbers began to block the enemies trying to get close to Amy. Aphrodite's protection will have different strengths according to the user's beauty and magic level. Amy has a good figure and magic.
But it was only of average quality. Fortunately, the opponent was just a bandit. As for the duration issue - anyway, the two bandits must have been hacked to death before the magic expired.
Ella and Amy stumbled and ran down the mountain. The sound of fighting became farther and farther behind them.
"Huh...dump...get rid of them?"
As soon as the words fell, suddenly, an inexplicable feeling of fear rose up in the hearts of both of them at the same time. The fear was unreasonable, but more like it came from the deepest, most natural and primitive instinct of human memory. It was as if
Being stared at from top to bottom by a large carnivore - drool dripping from its sharp teeth.
Ella and Amy didn't dare to look back at all.
"Your Majesty...this is the sense of oppression that only those protected by Ares, who is above the elf level, have!"
"Elf, elf level?"
That is enough to be used as a strategic weapon. Even in the Tianfang Empire, the most powerful empire in the world, there are only six people who have reached the elf level in magic. There is not even a single elf-level person in the Qiqiu Empire.
However, they had to look back. Just like people are afraid of death, but they can't help but want to see the mystery of death.
They saw a man standing on a protruding rock above, as strong as a bear. He looked down at them, like an eagle staring at its prey in the sky. Although they were far apart, they could feel it.
He saw the sharp eyes turning on the two of them, spying on them clearly.
He was dressed in chain mail, with a bearskin on his shoulders, a throwing ax and a sword hanging on his waist, and a spear in his right hand. The bloody crow flag hung on the spear, which floated in the wind together with his black cloak.
Floating in the middle.
Looking at him, the previous fear tripled. That was a beast that ran out of the cage. No, that was definitely the king of the beasts! As long as he waved his claws slightly, Ella and Amy would immediately
Will be torn to pieces!
However, after the man stared at Ella and Amy for a while, he turned around and left. Amy breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head, and saw tears shining in Ella's eyes.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
"He had no intention of sending anyone after me."
"Your Majesty, shouldn't this be a good thing... Why do you feel a little uncomfortable?"
"He has seen my crown! He has definitely seen my crown! But in his eyes, that carriage is still much more valuable than mine! After all, the person who was almost killed by the robbers could not be Barcelona.
Lisa!”
Ella wiped the tears swirling in her eyes.
"Amy, I have just been hoping that someone like the white knight in the novel will come to save me, just like the incompetent princess in the novel. But I am not the princess in the fairy tale, I am Baselisa, this is
As the ruler of the empire, I want the corresponding power! Regardless of whether I am my father’s daughter or not, I must be like my mother, relying on my own strength to gain the support of everyone!”
Amy hugged Ella and gently patted her to comfort her:
"Your Majesty, you will definitely gain strength. From now on, you will gain strength step by step. So, Your Majesty, it is up to you to decide now - where should we go?"
Ella thought for a while:
"Since the pirates have arrived here, anywhere can be robbed. Therefore, we must go to Brusis City first. That is the nearest town to us, and the First Field Army is stationed. Now the surrounding areas are safe,
Apart from Constantinier, only Brutus is left. But we cannot expose our identities because I am not yet sure how many people my uncle has bribed."
"Understood, I will take Your Majesty to Brusis first. Then I will consider the next step."
Amy supported Ella and walked towards Brusis step by step. Ella bit her fingers along the way and tried her best to think about the next plan. The sun set, the moon jumped up, and the five planets began to
Appearing in the sky one after another. Brusius is about to arrive.
"Go to Cyprus."
Ella's sudden words broke the silence along the way.
"After arriving at Brusis, we should take a boat to Cyprus. Although it is far away, the general there has a great relationship with my uncle and is someone I can trust under the current situation. I will send a message to everyone there.
Governor, Border Guards and Field Army. Cyprus is an island. Even if the nearest military town is loyal to my uncle, they must wait for my uncle to mobilize a sufficient number of navy before they can launch an attack. During this period, various places are willing to be loyal to my general.
Then we can take some action.”
"Since your Majesty has decided, let's take action in this direction. I trust your Majesty's judgment."
"Amy, please wait a moment."
Ella suddenly stopped and took the crown off her head. She chose the largest tree, placed the crown under the tree, then picked up soil from the land next to it and sprinkled it on top of the crown.
"I am not qualified to wear this crown now. But one day, I will come back to get it."
"Your Majesty, if that happens, the crown will become very dirty..."
"It's best if there's dirt that can't be washed away, so that I can always be reminded of today's events."
Ella stepped on the soil where the crown was buried a few times, then she looked around and wrote the surrounding scenery into her memory one by one.
"Okay, Brusius is almost here. Let's go on."
There were faint sounds of crying in the distance. The further they walked, the louder and more frequent the sounds became. Ella suddenly realized something, turned around and ran to a nearby high cliff——
The city of Brusis was on fire. The whole city was on fire. The raging fire made half of the sky as bright as day. The screams of women, the shouts of men, and the cries of babies mixed together, making the city of Brusis
It looks like a hell.
A black flag was placed high on the city wall, swaying majestically in the fire——
