The galloping horses on the snow rolled up a burst of white smoke. The riders on the horses looked panicked and looked back from time to time, as if something terrible was chasing them.
Suddenly, a horse behind him let out a roar and then fell to the ground. The man on his back rolled a few times, and blue flames suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he quickly got up from the ground.
The leader of the knights in golden armor saw this horrific scene. The corpse could turn into an evil spirit so quickly, which meant that there were extremely powerful evil spirits around.
Just as he looked back at the road ahead, a figure appeared in front of them at some point. He looked like a dead tree on the roadside, but even this skinny figure had an invisible power that made people feel
Feel your heartbeat speeding up.
"call!"
He shouted loudly and pulled the reins hard to make the horse stop. The dozen knights behind him also stopped immediately. They looked nervously at the figure in front of them, not daring to blink.
I saw the other party slowly raising his head, his white beard moving in the wind, and his red flaming eyes looking at everyone quietly.
The leading knight took a deep breath and his eyes widened like bells.
"Anmihu!!! Get out of here!!!"
However, before he finished speaking, there was a sudden flash, and a bloody arc was seen flying past, and a thin line of blood appeared on everyone's neck. Then the horses fled desperately in fright. They fell off the horses and their heads were separated.
The golden-armored rider on the snow widened his eyes and twitched. He held a piece of parchment tightly in his blood-stained hand. A figure was reflected in his pupils. The other person raised his sword and pointed at him mercilessly.
He stabbed it.
…
Prince Jean paced back and forth in the room, and the ministers on the side lowered their heads, for fear that the prince would release all his anger on him.
At this moment, there was a noisy sound outside. The prince immediately raised his head, brows were raised, and quickly ran to the window and looked outside.
I saw that the high fence was crowded with people. A group of cavalry came in from the newly opened city gate. The surrounding civilians cheered as enthusiastically as if they were welcoming the savior. These knights also had this kind of glory on their faces. They kept shouting at the crowd.
Wave as if accomplishing something great.
"They're back!"
The prince's excitement could not help but be expressed on his face. He immediately put on the exaggerated red robe, obviously wanting to go out.
"Your Highness, please wait here. I believe your subordinates will report to you as quickly as possible."
General Gilbert stepped forward and said that, in fact, they were having a meeting and were discussing how to evacuate Pirate Bay if there was no news from the previously sent scout troops.
Most of the ministers believed that it would be a good idea to leave immediately by boat and seek refuge in the archipelago. Prince Eliel on the archipelago had already evacuated there and established a magic research tower for evil spirits with the magic group. As long as they could know the weaknesses of evil spirits, they would have hope.
Counterattack back.
But Prince Jean didn’t like this plan. Rather than dislike the plan itself, more precisely, he didn’t like his smart-aleck brother. Eliel gave people a very smart feeling, but Jean felt that he
He has always been eyeing his throne.
"No, I will personally greet them and boast about these heroes in front of everyone. This is what they deserve."
Jean said excitedly. He had already pushed the door open. General Gilbert sighed softly and could only follow. The ministers also had no choice but to leave their positions and descend from the high tower they had finally climbed up.
"His Royal Highness is here!"
The attendant shouted loudly, and the residents of Pirate Bay could hear it more than a dozen times a day.
The prince was seen stepping on the muddy road, the soldiers pushed away the civilians blocking the road, and the knights on horseback quickly got off their horses, and then knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Your Highness! We bring good news!"
The leading knight said that he was very young and a knight captain, and it seemed that this mission made him very proud.
"Very good! Get up quickly. Which team are you on?"
Gene said with a smile. There was a smile on the other person's face, but those who were careful could see his slightly frowning brows.
The prince actually didn't remember his team. The knight still remembered that when they left, the prince blessed them one by one and said goodbye to them. His look was like treating his brothers.
But now he doesn't remember it, less than seven days have passed.
"Your Highness! We are the fourth detachment of the Southern Force."
"Team 4? What about the other teams?"
Jean asked. This question made the knight hesitate for a moment, then he lowered his head and said, "We found no trace of other teams on the way back."
"Okay, you are the first team back. What's the news from the south?"
"Report to Your Highness the Prince! We went south from Guolong Mountain to Shacheng, but we didn't see any trace of evil spirits. We arrived at a small town, and the people there didn't even know about the army of evil spirits."
Shacheng, desert people, hot beauties with bronze skin, and many rare fruits in the desert. Thinking of this, Gene smiled unconsciously.
The knight felt strange, but did not dare to say anything. He only heard General Gilbert ask: "Are you going to Shacheng to meet Prince Bolifu?"
Hearing this, the knight lowered his head and said: "Report to the general that we have not reached Shacheng. The desert terrain is difficult to walk on. We can't go far by riding horses alone. After learning from the desert people that Shacheng has not yet fallen, I ordered to turn back."
"
Gilbert guessed that it was impossible to come back and forth in seven days so quickly. Just when he was about to scold the other party, Prince Jean said: "You have done a good job. It is enough to know that Sand City has not fallen. Is there any way to go back and forth?"
Safety?"
"We haven't seen any signs of evil spirits."
"Very good! We should prepare immediately and head to Shacheng!"
"But Prince, we don't know yet what the prince's attitude is."
Gilbert said quickly.
"He is just a prince, and I am the prince of the empire and will become the king in the near future. They have no reason not to welcome me. And I heard that Prince Bolifu has three daughters. At worst, I will marry one of them."
After Prince Jean finished speaking, he took a deep breath, pulled out the sword in his hand, and said in a tone he had practiced countless times: "Kneel down, I will now give you the reward you deserve for your merits."
Hearing this, the knight knelt on the ground.
"May I have your name?"
"David, son of David!"
"Okay! David, son of David, listens to the order! I will give each of you a reward of 30,000 yuan, a fiefdom of hundreds of fields, and promotion to viscount. If you, David, perform well, I will appoint you as an honorary general!"
Hearing this, General Gilbert was shocked. He actually promoted such a young nobleman to an honorary general!
He couldn't help but the many ministers behind him all looked surprised.
