The clouds are through the sun, the red shadows of the city tower are bright and dark, and the Chinese couple leans on their backs.

There are countless twilight mountains, ten miles of flat and clear way back, and the capital of Jingwang?

As the evening wind began to kick up the smoke and dust on the city walls, Salyuhi, who had been silent for many years, was about to usher in the first war in decades. On the streets of Qianmo, the shadows are sparse, and the pedestrians who do not come and go are all in a hurry, and most of the doors are closed.

Alwin thought hard but couldn't get it, looked at the sky for no reason, and began to hope that the little girl would arrive sooner, and he secretly said in his heart: "My net worth and life are in your hands, don't joke with me." ”

At this time, Xia Ye brought a bag of freshly baked bread from the "Tinglan" bakery to deliver food to Alvin. This is the last bread of the shop in the next few days, because they will not be in business for the next few days. He saw O'Ann resting on Alwin's back, but he didn't make a sound.

In fact, O'Ann had woken up, but she just didn't want to get up.

"How's it going?" said Oneen, stretching, getting up and dusting off her body.

"No, let's take it one step at a time. Alvin shook his head and said, standing up as well.

Onien was going to ask about the latest movements of the Maine troops, and before leaving, she smelled the smell of bread, turned her head back, and snatched a piece directly from the bag before leaving, ignoring the surprised expression on Xia Ye's face.

"Xia Ye, I remember that your house should be in the outer part of the city to the east, which is the area of the store in the 'Old River', right?" said Alvin and frowned at the east side of the city.

"Yes, Your Highness," Xia Ye nodded, looking at Alvin with some puzzlement, "Didn't we meet over there?"

"I remember your neighbor's name, Tiny, right?" Alwyn glanced back at Xia Ye.

"yes. Xia Ye nodded again, he thought to himself that His Royal Highness Alwyn was what's the matter, what is he doing with her in a dignified manner? But at this time, thinking of that little girl, his heart was not so heartbreaking, Xia Ye thought with some loss.

"I remember you said that the girl's family had been accused of blasphemy by the Orthodox Church to get to that point, didn't you?"

"Hmm. Xia Ye couldn't understand what Erwin wanted to ask anymore.

"Then let me ask you, has the Light Orthodox Church arrested a lot of people in your area?"

"Yes. In the past few years, from time to time, some people have been arrested by the Guangzheng Church, and even some small nobles have not been able to escape. ”

The slave girl Tiny, the shabby sign of the Old River Restaurant, the Ganrugen from Halledi, and the Orthodox Christianity extorting money under false pretenses, these chaotic threads are intertwined in Alwin.

"I know, I finally know... Alwyn suddenly understood, his eyes widened in horror.

Xia Ye looked at him like this, and thought he had lost his mind and gone crazy.

Alvin turned his head and went to chase after O'Ann, and by the way, he snatched the paper bag in Xia Ye's arms, and took out a loaf of bread to nibble on as he ran.

Xia Ye froze in place, at a loss.

"Quick, quick... Alvin ran and didn't forget to turn his head and shouted vaguely to Xia Ye.

Although Xia Ye didn't know what Alvin was going to do, he knew that it was very important just by looking at his expression, so he took steps to follow him.

Then he saw two figures running up the castle tower, one of them holding a bag of bread in his arms.

As Alwyn gasped and ran to Onieen's side, the Sentinel was sending back a message.

"Are the Maine Army gone?" Aren't they gone?" said Alwin, shaking his shoulders frantically without waiting for the messenger to speak, "Are you talking?"

The general looked at Alvin in astonishment, afraid that he had met a madman.

O'Ann also looked at Alwyn with a strange expression, she didn't understand what Alvin was talking about.

But what made her even more stunned was what the general reported to her after breaking free from Elwin—that the Maine Army had disappeared ten miles away, and its whereabouts were unknown.

Alvin also heard what the messenger said, and kept muttering, "It's too late, it's too late... ”

His crazy eyes revealed endless uneasiness. Now, in the eyes of others, his eyes wander, he talks crazy, and what is even more funny is that he is still holding a bag of bread in his arms, and he is a madman.

"Quick, quick, call everybody, come with me!" said Alvin, who immediately came back to his senses, took Ornian by the hand and said eagerly.

Onian knew that he must have a reason for saying such things at this time, and immediately ordered the surrounding city guards: "All the soldiers on the city wall, follow me!"

The surrounding city guards thought to themselves that this count's only son was crazy, could it be that the princess was also crazy? The Maine army was about to be ten miles away, why did they abandon the outer city wall?

Alvin couldn't wait for the crowd to assemble, and hurried down to the city, only to realize that he had been running with a bag of bread in his hand. In a fit of rage, he threw the poor bag of freshly baked bread sideways.

After leaving the city, Alvin mounted his mount and headed straight to the east of the royal capital, where he was now on the north side of the outer city, and had to go around it a long way. After all, everyone would think that the Maine army would attack from the north along the provincial road, and Onian also placed more defenders here on the northern wall.

Onian and Xia Ye followed closely behind Alvin, followed by the brigade's city guards.

"Where the hell are we going, what the hell are you going to do?" asked Onieen, pulling after Alwyn as she caught up with him.

"You know what? the day you returned to Salyushi, Lan took me somewhere," said Elwin, "and I thought she was just trying to take me for breakfast. ”

"And then?" asked Onian, frowning.

"Maybe it's just a breakfast. But in hindsight, perhaps, it was the pomp of one little girl who was not convinced by another little girl," Alvin said as he glanced at Onieen, "so she wanted to show off her strength, or the strength of her family, with someone she was willing to share?"

"What do you mean, where did she take you?" Orniene was quite angry at this time, she really wanted to beat Alvin to death with a stick, and this kind of person who said it in one cut at a time can really kill people.

"Do you know why the Orthodox Church has ruined so many people over the years?" Alwyn asked, looking at her.

"Why? for money?" Onien was even more puzzled at this time, why did he get involved with the Light Orthodox Church again.

"I used to think so, but I just figured out that it's not just that. Alvin said, and then his face changed, and he said something that shocked Onieen, "They're here to dig up Saliuhi." ”

"What?" Onien looked at him with wide eyes.

"Actually, the purpose of the Light Orthodox Church has always been the house of these people. The tunnels in the east of the city had to pass under the houses of these people, and they were afraid that they would be discovered, so they had to persecute these families on religious charges to the point that their families were ruined, and finally they wanted to get their hands on these houses. Alwyn looked at her and said, "You know, Lan Marriage told me that Prince Resa used to have a mansion in the east of the outer city. If I'm right, there is a tunnel under the house that leads to the outside of the city. ”

Thinking of the old river shopkeeper who had the money to buy spices, but no money to buy the façade, he then sneered: "And it should be more than that, there should be a rather complex network of hidden tunnels underground in the east of the outer city. So Ayton won't come to attack the city at all, he will lead people out of the city directly. That's why they're so confident they'll be able to take down Salyushi, because Resa had already set up the game with the Light Orthodox Church a few years ago. ”

Onian couldn't help but gasp when she heard him say it, her eyes narrowed, and she only said four words in a half-loud voice: "Wolf ambition." ”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This large group of men and horses marched, naturally they couldn't walk around the alleys like Lan Marriage leading Alwin. They went south along Phoenix Avenue and turned east when they reached the inner city. Now the streets are sparsely populated, and it is true that horses can gallop wildly, but there are many roads between the two places, and it is already dark when Alvin leads the people to the east of the city.

On the long street, there was no one there, there was not even a trace of light, and the atmosphere was strange and terrifying. The wooden sign on the corner "Old River" restaurant was blown back and forth by the wind, and the chain that tied the wooden sign creaked.

Alwyn looked warily at the courtyard that Lan Marriage was referring to, staring carefully into the depths of the bleak courtyard.

"Dismount, on alert. O'Ann ordered the guards behind her.

The city guards didn't know why the princess had led them here, and most of them still had impatience on their faces. Xia Ye could see that these people really didn't have any combat skills, they didn't even understand the basic street battle formation, and their chaotic positions were full of flaws at a glance.

A "whoosh" sounded coming.

One of the guards let out a muffled grunt, staring incredulously at the crossbow bolt stuck into his neck, and fell.

His horse was also frightened, and raised its hooves and neighed.

Then, in the dark depths of the streets and alleys, thousands of arrows were shot.

The horses were all frightened at once, and they neighed one after another. During this period, there were also screams from the city guards.

They were like dancers with no skills, spinning in circles without any sense of beauty, and falling to the ground one after another.

"All the troops raise their shields!, all the retreat to the sides of the street!" Alvin saw that it was already such a miserable situation, and quickly ordered the command, "Protect the princess!"

The soldiers immediately did as Alwyn had said, gathered their formation, retreated from the alley into the street, and held their shields on either side, enclosing Onian in the middle.

"Be careful!" Alwyn exclaimed, and a crack flashed to O'Nian's side, and the shield lit up, blocking the halberd from the shield.

On the route of the flying halberd, the corpses of seven or eight guards were already lying down. Alvin looked up along the line—the courtyard, the former residence of Prince Ressa.

O'Ann also looked coldly into the dark depths of the courtyard.

A crimson flame lit up, lighting up the pair of blue eyes, outlining the graceful figure. I saw Lan Marriage wearing a long black dress, and between the light and dark, there was a stirring and sultry style in the slaughter. She was still looking at Alvin with a smirk. Ayton, who was standing next to her, also looked at Alvin with interest.

"This Alvin is really interesting. Ayton laughed and said, "How did he guess?"

"Big brother, you went and slaughtered that white-haired fox. Lan glanced at Ayton, telling him not to keep staring at Elwin.

"Hey, if you feel sorry for your little lover, just say it. Ayton teased, "But, big brother doesn't think this Alwyn is interesting to you." Look, this is the first time he's saved that Oneen? Hmph, this inattentive guy has hindered me several times, it's better to be poked to death with a halberd, right?"

"Big brother, you... Lan Yu pursed her lips and complained.

"Alright, alright, depending on the situation, spare him a life. Ayton smiled and comforted.

Here they are still talking and laughing, but there is a tense expression.

Alwin withdrew his shield and found the wound in his right palm cracked, blood trickling down his fingertips.

"That's not going to be easy to deal with. Alvin whispered to Onian behind him.

Before he could finish his sentence, Onian had already leapt into the air. As soon as the staff in her hand fell, the invisible ring of light spread out from the bottom of the staff, like a round of white sun in the middle of the night, lighting up the whole of Salyushi.

Many people poked their heads out of the windows and looked at the woman in the night, dressed in a thousand rays of light, as if looking at a saint descending from the sky. The guilt, humility, and helplessness in their eyes are intertwined in a ridiculous way.

By the light of the night, the city guards could see the enemy's location clearly, and they were so frightened that they almost couldn't hold their swords.

It turned out that these Maine elites were not only ambushing in the streets and alleys, but also many of them had leaned out from the second floors of the houses on both sides of the long street, holding bows and crossbows against these city guards.

Ayton stretched out his hand and shook it, and the halberd returned to his hand, and he glanced at the woman in the brilliant white light, and lifted the halberd up.

With a wave of the staff, a grand flame flew out of the courtyard and exploded directly in the middle of the guards. This can be regarded as the official sounding of the horn of the Maine Army's attack, and in an instant, arrows rained down from the upper floors, and shouts of killing broke out in the alleys.

Alvin dodged the fireball, and in the process dealt with the feathered arrows fired from all directions, knowing that if he continued like these guards, he would be shot alive, so he did not dare to stay on the long street any longer, and abandoned the crowd and went into the air.

Xia Ye also knew each other very well, picked up a huge shield to block the arrows, fought and left, and retreated to the inner city alone.
