First Entry to the Continent Chapter 102: Brilliant Blue Knights!
Chapter 102: Knights of the Bright Blue!
"I heard it casually" Laurent stretched out her hands and said disapprerovitically: "There is a Thorn City in the middle of Thorn City, which has many orc gladiators, and they are unusually obedient, so our people went in and went around, and found that there was actually an orc shaman sacrifice inside, it was because you detained that sacrifice, no, it should be house arrest inside, so all the orcs did not dare to riot."
"You don't seem to be in a trading relationship as rumored."
"Lord Marquis is really bold enough, in order to make money and seek benefits, he is really not afraid of the orcs..."
"That's enough!" interrupted Fnovic sharply, "when will your men arrive, I need to give some hope to those nobles who have taken refuge in me, and the Count of Rust, if he joins us on our side, I will be more sure"
The Colosseum's orc slaves are also a secret he can't tell, and the Colosseum is one of his biggest sources of income, managed by his youngest son, Green Ford, and is one of the reasons why he has brought the Thornlands back to life through this lucrative enterprise.
But there is one thing that the other party doesn't seem to have found out, that group of orcs is actually desperate and forced to work for him, of course, there is still a certain transaction element in it.
With a click, Laurent gently snapped his fingers: "Within ten days"
"Within five days, I will see at least one group of 100 mages" Vonovich stared straight at Laurent: "Once the Bright Blue side learns of our rebellion, they will definitely send the Bright Blue Knights who remain in the imperial capital, and none of us can resist the charge of those elite knights"
Laurent thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, but I have a small request."
Seeing that Laurent finally replied, Fnovic's expression eased: "Say!"
"I want to meet the nobles who have taken refuge in you, and to make some pact to prevent them from repenting," Laurent said grimly, his voice chilling the cold of a cool summer night.
Is there no way back...
......
Under the moonlight on the other side, more than a dozen knights were struggling to chase the two horses, each of them panting, and it seemed that they could not hold on for long.
"Bastard, it looks like they're going to chase us to death," said Glick once again as he fended off a flying arrow with his shield.
The horse was already exhausted when it sat down, and the weight of two grown men, plus the weight of a thick shield, had been able to hold on until now thanks to Ravel's first-order life magic 'clarity', which had blessed it until now.
"It's no longer good, let's go down and fight them to the death," Ravel said calmly, retracting the magic power in his hand, and the horse immediately gave up on his legs and feet, and threw himself to the ground.
"How much mana do you have left," Glick asked in a low voice as he picked up Ravel as he rode well.
"About 20 percent"
Greek sighed, just now he had been using his shield to resist the arrows behind him, he only had three or four percent of his fighting spirit left, looking at the more than ten or so cavalry behind him, after a chase battle, Ravel's magic took down a few more: "Get ready to fight"
If you're lucky, you might be able to die with that group of cavalry.
Gonell looked at the two with a sneer, and his heart finally relaxed, if he ran any longer, their war horses would not last long: "Surround them"
The knight instantly divided into two columns, surrounded them, dismounted and took out his weapon and pointed at them: "Who are you, why do you want to go against the Marquis?"
"We're just ordinary adventurers, we just can't get used to your slave trade, and come out to stand up for justice," Grek said awe-inspiringly, to be honest, he didn't expect that his own hot mind would cost him his life in this matter, but meeting these partners made him have no regrets.
"Very good, very good" Seeing that they were not from the Yaolan Imperial Capital or the Forest Elves, Gonell laughed angrily twice, gritted his teeth and said: "Let's go together, they are already at the end of the crossbow, I will break them to pieces~corpse~10,000~Duan!"
More than a dozen second-order and third-order knights who were full of fighting energy, plus Gonell, a fifth-order warrior, immediately rushed towards these two fifth-order powerhouses who were about to be exhausted.
In a desperate situation, the two fifth-order powerhouses also burst out to the full potential of their bodies. Several vines rose from the ground and strangled a second-order knight alive.
The earthy yellow fighting spirit attached to Grek's blood-stained sword, struggling to fend off the attacks of five or six knights, the situation seemed to be evenly matched at this point, but once their fighting energy was exhausted, the situation would be one-sided.
The sharp-eyed Gonell saw this, and calmly stood outside the encirclement, only waiting for them to run out of strength, and then deliver a fatal blow. It's not that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, because with the current state of the two of them, if they want to desperately pull away a cushion, it is very likely that they will take him, a fourth-order battle master, from the crowd.
Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves, and there were quite a few sounds. No, there is no lord in the south of the Thornlands who has such a large number of cavalry. Even if there were, who would come out to practice this night?
Gonell's eyes suddenly opened, and he looked at the cavalry army not far away, and at a cursory glance, there were as many as 5,000 people on the other side.
The pace of the opponent's war horse is also neat and orderly, all neat blue armor and helmets, and even the war horses are uniformly equipped with turquoise armor, shining in the white moonlight, and there are magic patterns in the equipment if you take a closer look!
In the middle of the night, the bright blue ice crystal flower flags fluttered and danced. It is actually the most elite cavalry of the Bright Blue Kingdom, directly under the jurisdiction of the Bright Blue King Fürth Winston.
Shouldn't they be stationed near the Imperial Capital? Could it be that Gonell didn't dare to think that the news of what the Marquis had done, and the troops sent by the Kingdom of Swisston in the north near the Pingxi Mountains, should not have reached Fürter's ears so quickly.
Gonell shook and ordered his men to cover the markings on their armor, but it was too late.
"It's the people of Fnovic, hmph, stop it" The leader of the Bright Blue Knights had a keen sense of smell, and at a glance recognized the conspicuous Ford family knight logo on Gonell's armor, and immediately shouted loudly, with a hint of coldness in his words.
Seeing the five thousand cavalry neatly dispersed to form a wide encirclement, Gonell felt cold in his heart, clenched the long sword in his hand, and sure enough... His rebellion was discovered anyway.
Richard Robert, the head of the Second Order of the Brilliant Blue, rode slowly in front of Gonell on a tall horse. At this time, the cavalry of the Ford family laid down their weapons one after another, their faces were like ashes, and they all knew very well what the adults they were following wanted to do, and what kind of fate they would face, eighty percent of them would be reduced to slaves.
Ravel and Greek were relieved and reported the name of Blue Coco, these Bright Blue Knights should not embarrass them.
"Hmph, you are that Fnovich Ford, the subordinate of the Marquis of Thorns, hehe, aren't you small" Richard sneered twice, and the blade of the sword was slowly drawn.
A day ago, the envoy sent to the Land of Thorns, a knight under Claire, came to the imperial capital with a secret letter and a fast horse, and reported to the Emperor of Yaolan, Fürth Winston, about the Luoxia Mountains, the encounter with the little princess Lan Coco and the blood wolf thieves, especially when he learned that Vonovich was actually the mastermind behind the capture of the forest elves, and dared to instigate the thieves to kidnap the imperial envoy halfway.
King Fürth was particularly furious, and ordered the Second Knights of Bright Blue, stationed in the east of the imperial capital, to quickly cross the Emerald River from the south and rush straight to the Land of Thorns to find out the truth of the matter.
But this matter has not yet been made public, in case the thief's words are false, then the face of the Bright Blue Kingdom is not lost, but then Richard heard that Count Rust-Willy in the south of the Thornlands was actually detained in Thorn City by Fnovic.
This completely confirmed that Vnovich was plotting against him, and he could sentence Vnovich to death in the name of detaining the nobles without any reason, which also made him have no scruples in the face of the knights of the Ford family, and the so-called Ford family was just a country nobleman who was promoted from a commoner, and the personnel were only Vonovich and his two sons, which was not at all comparable to the real nobles in God's capital.
"What are you country knights doing here, it's really bold, a small remote nobleman, a palm-sized territory, actually dares to make a rebellion" The sword that braved the cold light reflected Gonell's face, and the surrounding blue knights also drew their swords one after another, staring at a dozen knights with bad intentions.
A cold sweat broke out on Gonell's back, and before he could say anything, a knight next to him couldn't help the pressure, threw away his weapon and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, and instantly cried bitterly: "My lord, my lord, I was forced, it was the marquis, he, I don't know why, he suddenly wanted to rebel, we were just forced to join, our family is in the land of thorns, there is no choice."
"You... Bastard" Gonell was furious, but then, when the knights behind him saw this, they all threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, the pressure of these two thousand knights was completely beyond what ordinary knights like them could withstand.
"Yes, my lord, we are forced, we are a peaceful land of thorns, and we don't want to rebel."
"That marquis doesn't know what went crazy, three days ago he suddenly wanted to become independent and build a kingdom of thorns, and we were helpless."
"My lord spare my life, my family is in the land of thorns, and they still don't know that the marquis wants to rebel."
"Very good, very good, tell me clearly, what the hell is going on" The corners of Richard's mouth curled slightly, this skill really came without effort.
"Shut up!" Gonell was still very loyal to the Marquis, after all, he had followed him on the campaign for so many years, and he hated the exploitation of the Thorn Land by the Imperial Capital many years ago.
But in the face of life and death, the words of this knight commander are completely ineffective at this time.
"This morning, the Marquis suddenly said to us that the imperial capital still wants to increase our taxes and continue to brutally exploit our thorny lands" The knight of the Ford family, who had already chosen to surrender, was suddenly stunned when he said this, as if he was considering whether to continue.
"Hmph, what a Fnovic" Richard snorted coldly: "Go on"
Knight Ford was relieved: "Then say that the little princess of Bright Blue appeared in the land of thorns, and a blue-clothed water magician ordered us to capture Her Royal Highness the little princess alive"
Her Royal Highness the little princess is really here, Richard's expression froze, and King Fürth also ordered that at all costs, bring back Her Royal Highness the little princess alive.
"If we succeed in catching the little princess and the forest elves around her, then each of us will be promoted to the rank of knight. ”
"And I heard from the Marquis, without the exploitation of the imperial capital, the Kingdom of Swisston would also become friendly neighbors with us, and our land of thorns would become richer."
Richard raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked another question: "Where is Her Royal Highness the little princess now?"
"Because we were stopped by these two people on the way, they are now estimated to have been chased by the young lord of Simmel to the Sunset Mountains, the little princess has some companions, nothing should happen" The knight of the Ford family trembled and pointed at the two of them and said in a trembling voice, if Princess Bright Blue died, they would definitely die.
"Hahaha, it's good, it's good" Richard laughed: "Come on, tie them up, and pull them to the territory of the Earl of Rust"
The knights breathed a sigh of relief and did not put them to death on the spot, most likely reducing them to slavery, which was already the final result.
Richard's eyes turned and fell on Ravel and Gorrik, the two fifth-order powerhouses, why would they help Her Royal Highness the little princess: "Your Excellency two are?"
