Chapter 27: Sightings
The gray mare gasped, and each whip struck him to rush forward. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info It crossed the plains, crossed the mountain roads, wore the stars and the moon, and was now exhausted.
"Drive!" Sun Guanglong tightened his grip on the reins, kicked the spur, and threw down another whip.
"Slow down, boy, I only have one arm, and I don't want to lose the other. Spike grabbed Sun's belt with his only right hand, his voice uneasy.
Sun Guanglong was anxious. Ever since he learned of the tragedy in Yuhua City at the Lion King Hotel, he couldn't wait to fly back. He had too many questions to ask Xu Rong, and all the doubts seemed to be pressed on his chest, making him breathless.
"Sun Guanglong, slow down!" Selina rode a black gelding and caught up with Sun Guanglong, adjusting the direction of the horse, trying to force the gray mare to slow down.
Sun Guanglong roared, "Get out of the way!" and as soon as he whipped his whip, the mare fell to her knees with a weak front leg.
The black gelding stood up, and Serena grabbed the reins and clamped her legs between the horse's belly to prevent herself from falling.
Due to inertia, Sun Guanglong's body hit the back of the mare's neck, and he instantly rolled forward and fell to the ground. Spencer was thrown into the grass to the side.
The gray mare lay on the ground, wailing and foaming at the mouth.
"Oh, the Seven Gods!" Serena gasped.
Sun Guanglong was in pain, his arms and legs were scraped, and he was panting and frightened.
Serena came to him, his lips squirming, trying to say something, but he was slapped in the face. Before he could react, another slap greeted him.
"You sober me up!!" Serena grabbed him by the collar, he tried to struggle, but he was weak, his strength was already overdrawn.
"You've been on the road since we left the Lion King Hotel last month. Damn, there are three of us, only two horses, and no extra horses to change!" Serena cursed, "Even if people don't die of exhaustion, can the horses stand it?"
Spike struggled to prop himself up with one right hand, gritted his teeth, and said, "Hey, help me, have mercy on me." ”
Serena glared at Sun Guanglong viciously and helped Spike to his feet.
Sun Guanglong was lying on the ground, his eyes blurred. He saw the whitish sun, a crow flying by, black wings, ominous symbols.
His mouth was parched, he was hungry, he was weak, and he was slumped to the ground. He couldn't listen to anything now, and exhaustion swept over him like a wave, and he finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell into a deep sleep.
When he awoke, he found that the sun was no longer overhead, and the canopy of the trees covered the scorching sun.
He smelled the smell of meat, drooled, and hunger ensued. He braced himself on his elbows, barely getting up, and saw that Serena was slicing a piece of flesh with a dagger, and Spike was shaking a twig that sizzled the flesh on it.
"Are you awake?" Serena looked at him coldly, stabbed the flesh with a dagger, and handed it to him.
He swallowed, the smell of meat lifted his spirits, and he couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth. The meat had a strong fishy smell, and he wrinkled his nose, and the hunger made him unable to care so much, so he swallowed it.
"What kind of meat is this?" Sun Guanglong asked, licking his lips.
"Horse meat. Serena's tone was cold, "It's the mare you ride." ”
Sun Guanglong was shocked, he sat up and exclaimed, "My horse!"
"Not your horse. The horses of the noisy group of people in the Lion King Hotel. Spike corrects, "Don't be surprised, little imp, we're all alive and lucky enough." ”
"But you shouldn't kill that horse, how can we go back?" Sun Guanglong asked rhetorically, "Let's go?"
"It's not because of you!" Serena threw the horse meat in front of Sun Guanglong, "You ran the gray mare alive!"
Sun Guanglong was speechless, he looked down at the golden roasted horse meat in his hand, felt the temperature of the roasted meat, and his mood fell to a low point. He pushed the piece away and said, "I don't have an appetite." ”
"Listen, little ghost, we fled from the Lion King Hotel in a hurry, and slept in the open along the way, eating the last meal without the next meal. Since the horse was killed by you, let's make some contribution to us at the end. Spike reassured, "We'll rest where we are for the rest of the day and we'll leave tomorrow." ”
"I agree. I don't want to run to death. Selina sat on the ground with her back to the tree, "Where are we?"
Spike looked around and said, "Let's get out of the intersection and head northeast, which is supposed to be on the Midwest border of Orlando Province. ”
"You say, Boss Howard and the knightess, are you still alive?" Serena sniffled, "Don't say it, I miss him a little." ”
"Veretta Brian. Spike subconsciously touched his left shoulder, "That knight is Duke Karen's command. ”
"The one who cut off your left arm. Sun Guanglong remembered Spike's words in prison.
Serena's eyes widened and she said, "No wonder you're running." It turned out to be that girl, hey, have you ever seen such a beautiful female knight? I thought that female knights were all tigers and bears, except for the two lumps of meat on their chests, there was no difference between men and women. ”
Spike laughed, "She's officially canonized by Duke Cullen, a knight who has been anointed with holy oil and sworn oaths. I had never seen a woman like her, with a serious face, a pretty face that was cold, as if someone owed her millions of Reichsmarks. ”
"You're familiar with her. Serena blinked, and said meaningfully.
"Seven gods, it's not what you think. Spike waved his hand, "When she caught me, she said me a lot of things along the lines of, 'Hey, don't underestimate women.'" I am the Rose Knight of Duke Karen, the only female knight of the Empire'. ”
She took it as an honor. Sun Guanglong narrowed his eyes, thinking back to the battle at the Lion King Hotel, "Someone hurt the duke, she single-handedly drew her sword. ”
"Speaking of which, you're kind of like her. What did you think?
"Four men beat a woman. Sun Guanglong said indignantly, "And they also took the opportunity to rub oil on Serena." ”
"Wow!Sun Guanglong!Is it true?You wield a sword for me!" Serena's eyes widened and she was overjoyed, "Do you like me?"
“…… You think too much......" Sun Guanglong scratched his curly hair, embarrassed.
"What a hot-blooded boy, full of justice. Spike whistles, "I'm sure you didn't kill Robert." You have been wronged. ”
Robert should be killed. Sun Guanglong didn't say anything.
At this time, Serena looked around vigilantly and said, "Hide, someone is coming." ”
Three remnants of the Rising Sun Empire ran up the hillside, all looking panicked and disgraced. One of them looked back and shouted, "Run!
Five riders in chain mail, riding on horseback with swords and spears in their hands, leaped up the hill and caught up with the three remnants.
Without saying a word, a rider slashed a sword into the shoulder of a remnant. The remnants screamed, clutching their shoulders and staggering forward. Another rider rushed from the front of the remnant, and the horse did not slow down and knocked the remnant into the air.
Five riders will be left with two in the middle.
"Please, we want to go home, we don't do it. One of the remnants knelt on the ground and pleaded.
"You miners, give you good food and drink, but you want to strike?" said an older rider whipped the remnants.
"Good food and drink? We are all skinny, and countless people are sick and tired in the mine. The gold ornaments sold by your lords are all earned by our blood and sweat. The other remnant straightened up, glared at the riders, and gritted his teeth.
"The lord is right, these remnants of the Rising Sun Empire are all Diao people, and they are not convinced. Another rider picked up the standing remnant with his spear, which was plunged into his abdomen.
"You brutes!" the young remnant grabbed his spear and spat out blood, "I'm fighting you!"
"Come on, try it!" the rider kicked the spur, and the horse rushed forward, and the spear was severely bent at first, and when the horse's speed increased, the body of the remnant was pierced by the spear, and he was dragged to the ground and dragged to death. Traces of blood were left on the hillside.
Sun Guanglong lay on another hillside and saw everything. His eyes were on fire, and he was about to get up, but Serena held it firmly.
Spike covered Sun Guanglong's mouth and whispered, "A woman, a cripple, a little imp who has lost his magic, we can only send it to death." ”
"Please, don't kill me, let me go. The remnant kneeling on the ground pulled out a money bag from his clothes, "Here are 2 Reichsmarks, all my money, for you." ”
The old rider took the money bag and nodded.
"Thank you, thank you!" the remnant kowtowed, he stood up and ran in the direction of Sun Guanglong.
Sun Guanglong was covered with his mouth covered, unable to shout anything, and he watched as the remnants who ran up were pierced by spears.
"Hey, are you crazy?" said the rider next to him, to the old rider, "you took the money." ”
The old rider slowly drew his spear and said, "Just 2 Imperial Marks, you want me to betray the master?" The old man said that if he refuses to come back, he will kill them all. ”
Sun Guanglong's heart was like a knife, and his two hands grabbed the grass and soil in front of him. He tries to rush forward, but reason tells him that Spike is right.
The rider whistled. He heard the black gelding cry and shouted, "Hey, there's someone halfway up the mountain!"
"Not good!" Serena drew her dagger, "I'll lure them away." ”
"Wait!" Spike lifted his chin.
Twenty more people came up from the bottom of the hill, and the leader was particularly eye-catching, because he was dressed in gilded plate armor.
"Who are you?" said the old rider, pulling his horse over and lowering his spear, "this is the territory of the Dietrich family, and I have not seen you. ”
"We are the men of Count Rundstedt. The Golden Knight's voice was low, and the man behind him was dressed in ordinary chain mail and armed with a steel sword.
"Count Rundstedt, one of the Golden Family, our good friend. The old rider put away his spear and drove forward, and his four riders also put away their weapons.
The Golden Knight kicked his spur, drew his sword, and slashed the old rider's head. For a while, all the riders who had tortured and killed the remnants of the Rising Sun Empire just now were in different places.
The Golden Knight shook off the blood from his sword, and everyone gathered their weapons and headed east.
"Oh my God, it's unbelievable. Spike stood up, pulling a lone pony over, "The Golden Family turned their backs?"
"It looks like it's close to the Dietrich family's mine, the gold mine. Serena rummaged through the rider's body, scavenging for some food and money, "How do we go next?"
"I'm going to the mines. Sun Guanglong gritted his teeth and said.
Spike shook his head and said earnestly, "After I broke my arm, I realized that you don't want to fight hard with someone stronger than you until you're strong." Let's go back to Yuhua City first. ”
Sun Guanglong rode on another horse, looked at the corpses of his compatriots on the ground, and clenched his fists. He secretly vowed that one day, he would make all the remnants of the Rising Sun Empire raise their heads and be human beings.
