In the cold night wind, Charanlot lay on the flaming phoenix, with a fainted female rider beside her.
She has dark reddish-purple hair, and looks to be in her 20s. Her body is covered with a small amount of close-fitting leather armor, and she wears a white shirt underneath. She has a strong figure.
But at this moment, there were some red blood flowers showing on the snow-white clothes, and a few arrows were inserted in the back. The sharp arrow tips penetrated the flesh and blood, revealing a terrifying cold light.
Looking at the female knight who saved her, Charlanlot felt heartbroken for a while, then took out the precious healing potion from her arms and prepared to give it to her.
Looking at the arrow still inserted, Charlanlot hesitated for a while, then took out the dagger stuck in her boot and helped the woman up.
"唳" The phoenix beneath her made a sharp cry, which made Charanlot shake uneasily.
"No, don't be afraid, I'm here to heal her." She quickly comforted the extremely intelligent bird.
There was another burst of chirping, and the Sequence 6 phoenix seemed to be more settled, which made Xia Lanluote breathe a sigh of relief.
She concentrated again, picked up the dagger, pointed it at the arrow tail behind her, swung it down and cut it off.
Seeing that the wound was not open, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully pulled out the front half of the arrow, and a stream of dark red and rich blood flowed out.
Listening to the woman's painful moans, Charlanlot quickly wiped the wound with a handkerchief, then poured a light yellow ointment, which was specially used to treat trauma, and then took out two oral medicines and poured them into the woman.
in the mouth.
Seeing her complexion slowly turning rosy, Charlanlot breathed a sigh of relief. Unfortunately, this woman had lost too much blood and would not be able to wake up for a while.
After wrapping her wound, Charlanlot laid it flat on the Phoenix's back, and then she gradually let go of the stone in her heart.
What is her origin? I have never heard of a family that controls the phoenix.
Such magical beasts are no less than giant dragons, but even rarer. It is said that only a small number of them live in certain craters.
Although they were only Sequence 6 and still underage, they were already extremely powerful and could fly at a speed that ordinary monsters could not catch up with, which allowed them to escape.
Thousands of meters above the sky, the stars have never been so clear. The clouds below are drifting slowly, and the night-covered land appears and disappears in the field of vision. Occasionally there are scattered lights, which should be a small town or something.
City.
With the wind blowing in her ears, Charlanlot looked at the distant scenery below and estimated where she would arrive.
They went all the way north, this should be close to the center of the empire.
She didn't understand why the phoenix didn't fly south. Charlanlot felt that her body was a little cold in the night wind. She leaned down and immersed her body in the orange-red burning feathers. A soft and warm touch enveloped her.
submerged.
It's really beautiful.
Everything in her eyes was illuminated by fiery red, like a warm dream, and she couldn't help but indulge in it.
Unfortunately, this dream only lasted for a short time before it was broken.
The phoenix beneath him heard a shrill cry, and then began to fly upward.
Charanlot firmly grasped the leather reins and fixed herself and the sky knight on the back of the phoenix.
There was a whistling sound from behind in the sky, and two giant white-beaked sky-piercing falcons were galloping close to each other at high altitude. They were flying straight towards the Phoenix, showing their extremely strong aggressiveness.
The sky-piercing falcon of the Kensela family! This name suddenly appeared in Charlanlot's mind.
The Kensela family is a viscount family in the eastern part of the southern border. The family's emblem is a giant bird with a white beak and brown feathers. Their family has raised a falcon-like monster all year round. Although the number is not large, it is famous for its speed and ferociousness.
These two sky-piercing falcons have the strength of Sequence 6. Although they are not very powerful, they are a huge threat to the weak two people.
Looking at the approaching sky-piercing falcon from behind, Charlanlot felt panicked. While holding on to the reins, she fumbled for weapons. Unfortunately, she only had a short dagger at hand, and the sky knight beside her was. There is a gun blade.
Unfortunately, I am not good at using gun blade weapons. Looking at the dark golden spear, the tip of the gun blade is like a shrunken knife tip, with a slight arc.
I can only give it a try, now is not the time to complain and hesitate.
Putting the dagger back into her boots, Charlanlot held the spear, turned around, and stared at the two monsters that were getting closer and closer.
The phoenix beneath him seemed to have already noticed the pursuers from behind, and began to climb continuously at high altitudes, turning in a huge arc in an attempt to get rid of the opponent.
Unfortunately, because it was carrying two people, it could not reach its maximum speed, and the two monsters behind it were also good at flying, so it was not easy to get rid of it.
The shrill scream sounded again, and several colorless compressed air blades shot out from behind.
Faced with this incoming attack, Charan Lott concentrated on dancing the gun blade, pouring magic power into it, and split one of the air blades. However, another air blade cut her arm, and long wounds appeared on her skin, blood... The beads overflow in the high-speed airflow and are constantly scattered in the air.
Smelling the smell of blood, the two sky-piercing falcons became even more excited. They began to speed up and attack continuously.
The air blades flew one after another, attacking the two people on the Phoenix. Although most of them fell into the air, even a few of them were not something that the current Xia Lanluote could withstand.
Small and large wounds began to appear on the body, and the clothes on the body became tattered.
She couldn't go on like this. She whispered to herself, knowing that sooner or later she would die in the air.
"Go back and fight them directly!" She pulled the reins and reminded the phoenix beneath her, regardless of whether the other party could understand or not.
"Chi" a long bird song sounded. This phoenix was worthy of being a rare magical beast, and it understood her words.
The fiery red feathers stretched in the air, and it began to climb upward again, performing high-speed maneuvers.
When it reached the extremely cold altitude of 10,000 meters, the phoenix flipped backwards, flapping its wings and turning rapidly, leaving scorching waves in the air, with bursts of sparks drifting into it.
The two sky-piercing falcons that were chasing behind them were unable to catch up for a moment and flew nearly a hundred meters in the air before turning around.
And when they faced the phoenix again, they found that the opponent no longer escaped, but charged directly towards them.
The feathers burning in the flames drove twisting air waves, and the wake caused by the high temperature drew a long trajectory in the air. In the eyes of these two sky-piercing falcons, the phoenix suddenly enlarged and approached.
They screamed shrilly, spread their wings, and raised their sharp white claws under their wings, while several air blades struck at the phoenix.
The dark golden spear tip shone with the cold light of magic. Charlanlot ignored the incoming air blades and stared at the figure of the air-piercing falcon in front of her, looking for a fleeting opportunity.
With his fingers turning white, he moved forward in the biting cold wind, pointing the tip of the gun blade at the figure in front of him. The fiery red phoenix and two sky-piercing falcons passed by each other in an instant at high altitude, and a slender trail of blood spread out.
Sky.
Charanlot was not sure of killing this powerful Sequence 6 monster, but at least injuring the opponent's wings would be victory.
A sky-piercing falcon intertwined, its wings were pulled out with long holes, and blood drops were scattered in the airflow from time to time. Looking at its screaming appearance, it seemed to be in great pain.
Finally, the speed of this sky-piercing falcon slowed down, and it could no longer catch up with the high-speed flying phoenix, and gradually fell behind.
At this time, the only pursuer was a sky-piercing falcon. Charlanlot estimated her remaining physical strength, and then let the phoenix climb up again.
The two parties met again in the air, with broken feathers and flames falling from the sky. The sharp claws of the falcon left a bone-deep wound on Charanlot's shoulder, while the opponent dodged the attack of the gun blade, leaving only a few
scratched feathers.
As expected, she was still not good at using this kind of weapon. Gritting her teeth, Charlanlot endured the pain and lay on the Phoenix's back.
At this time, she was no longer able to fight, and the sky-piercing falcon behind her was still pursuing her.
The thoughts in her brain were spinning at high speed, and Charlanlot was thinking of possible solutions.
"Get down, drop to the ground." She shouted into the phoenix's ear.
After hearing such an order, the flaming bird began to descend, falling into the dark earth like a flaming meteor.
The trail of flames cut through the sky, causing a roar of beasts, and some local residents looked at the falling meteor in surprise.
The wings flapped among the leaves of the forest, passing through countless branches and leaves, leaving traces of burning. In a fit of embarrassment, they finally landed on the ground.
After dragging the sky knight woman to the ground, Charlanlot leaned against the tree trunk with a pale face, her body heaving violently.
She took out the potion from her arms with trembling hands and simply applied it on the wound. She was about to drink the rest of the healing potion, but it accidentally slipped from her palm and hit the gravel on the ground.
The clear liquid spilled with the broken glass, and a burst of fragrance floated in the humid forest, but it quickly disappeared into the rotten leaves and disappeared.
Charlanlot closed her eyes, feeling completely hopeless.
The sound of flapping wings came from the sky again, and the air-piercing falcon also descended. The air blades cut through the branches and trunks, and shot to the ground, causing the sound of falling branches and leaves.
Just when Charlanlot was worried and desperate, the phoenix took off again.
This time is different from the past, there are no two people as burdens and constraints on it.
The fiery red flames boiled and burned, and every feather seemed to be fluttering. The radiating heat wave could be felt by Charanlot even though they were far apart.
She blocked the dazzling firelight with her hands and watched the flying phoenix through the gaps between her fingers.
It turns out that he has been just a drag, and it is actually fully capable of defeating the pursuers. It is just afraid of hurting itself and the rider, so it cannot use its full strength.
In the night sky, two magical beasts began to fight, with fire and air blades dancing, shrill chirps heard from time to time, feathers and blood beads falling from time to time, and the two sides fought back and forth.
As the battle progressed, the phoenix gradually gained the upper hand, and the feathers of the air-piercing falcon were no longer as bright as before. They were burnt and incomplete, and even its flight began to be greatly affected.
After another collision, the phoenix claws firmly grasped the opponent's wings, and bursts of scorching flames spread, burning the opponent.
A painful wail sounded from the mouth of the sky-piercing falcon, and it began to struggle desperately. Its sharp claws and white beak attacked wildly, tearing off the flesh and feathers of the phoenix. The air blade also flashed continuously, cutting off pieces of feathers.
Facing the opponent who was struggling to his death, the phoenix did not waver at all and still held on tightly, releasing the air-distorting flames on its body and drowning the opponent.
In this way, the voice of the piercing falcon became smaller and smaller, and the strength of its struggle became weaker and weaker, until finally, it fell down and stopped moving.
The air was filled with the smell of burning. Sitting under a tree trunk in the forest, Charlanlot heard a rustling of footsteps in the distance.
She was not sure what the purpose of the other party was, but the current environment she was in in the empire was definitely not good. With the mentality that she might be an enemy, she struggled to help the woman up and walked into the forest step by step.
Deep in the middle of nowhere, escape from this striking place as quickly as possible.
"Search for me, don't let them escape!" A group of soldiers holding torches walked through the forest, looking for possible figures.
Judging from the uniforms they wear, these people are legionnaires who belong directly to the royal family. The commander has a dark red cloak and gold-threaded epaulettes, which is very majestic.
After hearing the words of the pursuers clearly, Xia Lanlot ran faster.
After a hurried run, she felt that her limbs began to feel weak, various aches and pains filled her nerves, and her calves were teetering among rotten leaves and grass blades.
"Huhuhu" The wound that had not healed before split open, and traces of blood overflowed. Her face began to turn pale, and she had to throw herself down and kneel on the ground.
There's no way to escape now.
Charanlot raised her head, looking at the phoenix in the sky and the phoenix flying down from time to time to stop the pursuers, feeling a sense of sadness and despair in her heart.
Even if it delays time, I can't run away.
It's always like this, Charlanlot, you are a burden, you have implicated so many people, and so many innocent people have died because of you. You are a person who should have died.
With his hands on the ground, silent tears flowed down his cheeks, falling drop by drop to the cold and damp ground.
Her fingernails were filled with dirt and rotten leaves. Charlanlot gradually clenched her fists and buried her forehead into the cold, wet ground. It seemed that this was the only way to wake herself up and alleviate some of the sadness and discomfort in her mind.
Another burst of footsteps came. She was startled when she heard it and prepared to stand up, but her legs were already sore and numb, so she could only fall to the ground.
The voice jumped over various stones and tree roots and quickly approached her back. At this time, it was too late for her to pull out the dagger.
"Ah!" Faced with the sudden contact, the girl screamed, but to her surprise, the other party did not kill her, but helped her up.
"Is there another companion?" Seeing the female knight lying in front of Charlanlot, the voice sounded a little urgent.
He pulled the pink-haired girl up and put the female knight on his shoulders.
"Follow me!" After saying that, he grabbed Charlanlot and asked her to follow behind him.
"But" Charlotte wanted to say something else, but she didn't know how to explain it at this time. She could only glance at the phoenix in the night sky, followed it step by step, and gradually disappeared into the depths of the forest.
A few minutes later, a group of soldiers carrying torches came here to search.
"There are traces of their stay here!"
"Can you tell which direction they went?"
"It's difficult. The ground is full of rotten leaves, it's hard to leave footprints, and it's pitch dark."
"Look! Keep looking. You must not let go of these people who confuse the common people. They have escaped from Zishan Province. If they cannot be surrounded and suppressed, they will become another group of scourges."
"Further south, there are the southern provinces of the empire. The situation there is even worse. If they enter and develop there, it will be like letting fish into the sea, causing rebellion."
"We are the eyes and swords of the emperor, and we will never allow these existences that go against the will of the emperor. It is simply a dream to recreate everything that happened in Crancia!"
"This is the glorious and glorious Canghong Empire!"
"Yes!" Several investigators in black and their soldiers dispersed into the night again.
