Chapter Twenty-Three: The Crowd Who Sets Out
Rem, who had never slept soundly, was the first to feel the movement on the street, and she stood by the window in a hurry, quietly opened a slit, and looked at the troops in front of her with a shocked expression. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The carefully selected earth dragons, as can be seen from their tall and powerful appearance, are completely different colors from those that are usually transported. The warrior sitting on it, wearing armor and holding a weapon, has an awe-inspiring but determined gaze, which is an unyielding determination in the face of death.
"Until you receive the signal, you can stay in the royal capital in peace. ”
Rem's mind inexplicably flashed through the words that Arashi had said, and in fact the signal from the other party's mouth had been bothering her for a whole night. Nothing was known about the situation in the mansion, and there was no telling when the so-called signal would come, so it was difficult for the worried maid to sleep.
Could it be that this is the signal that Arashi-sama said?
Scanning the street as his attentive gaze continued, Rem saw the Knights of the Guards escorting the troops along the road, and the direction in which the troops were heading.
Further on there is the street of Lifons, the fastest path to the Merthers Domain. That's right, this must be the signal that Arashi-sama said.
Rem, who breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the door quickly, and directly opposite her lived Caiyue Pleiades, who had been found yesterday with great difficulty, and when she found the other party, Caiyue Pleiades was sitting quietly in an alley, bowing her head and saying nothing.
This situation remained until, they came to this hotel. But Rem, who didn't have the heart to ask more, just took Caiyue Pleiades to the inn closest to the gate of the North City to rest.
"Pleiades, Pleiades, it's time to get up!" Rem, who kept knocking on the door, called out the other person's name, but there was no answer in the room.
Rem, who could only force the door open, saw that Caiyue was still lying on the bed safely, and let go of her worries a little, she almost thought that this guy was going to do something brainless alone.
It's just that Rem, who just let go of his worries, is about to start having a headache again, how to pull this lost man out of the room and embark on the journey home with him!
The changing lines of dawn and dusk in the sky were finally erased by brilliant golden light, and as the temperature rose, the mist quietly dissipated. After exiting the city gates in the north, Kursius led his troops through the streets of Liphons, which had not been visited for many days, their shadows stretched by the daylight, the sheng banner was blown by the breeze, and the swallowtail flag with the family coat of arms of the 'fanged lion' fluttered high.
The crusade planned in the name of Kurxiu naturally has a strong family background, but it is also a plan she has no choice but to plan. The fear of Moby Dick in most of the kingdom was the root cause of such behavior, and the inaction of the nobles and the Sage Society eventually prompted her and the head of Marcos to get together secretly.
Of course, it was also with the help of the latter that in a short time it was possible to equip it with enough weapons and armor, as well as such a large number of soldiers. According to the final count, there are 15 squads in the main combat unit, and the squad leaders are all veterans who participated in the crusade 14 years ago.
And each squad leader led about fifteen members, with a total of about two hundred and twenty troops, to open a long queue on the streets of Livons, and march silently.
Most of them have loved ones who died in the battle with the past and Moby Dick. The hatred that he carried on his body tormented his heart day and night because of his own incompetence, and this hatred, which had grown stronger and stronger over time, finally turned into action under the call of Kursius.
"The tears of loved ones, the glory that has passed, the countless inevitable nights of waiting, must be avowed in this crusade. Four hundred years ago, our ancestors were able to kill witches who destroyed the world. Four hundred years later, are we going to bow down to a mere demonic beast?"
Kurxiu was in the martial arts hall of the mansion, and his speech full of appeal echoed in their hearts like a loud sound. They are not afraid of death, but of being incompetent to live.
The will to unite will eventually open up a path for the future. They were so convinced that they followed behind the green-haired woman and headed towards their destination, the Plains of Legalus.
After the expedition team left, the knights of the Guards gradually loosened the blockade of the streets, and there were only a few knights guarding the city gates. After confirming that there was no problem, the people who had been impatient for a long time gathered with each other to discuss the wonders of the early morning.
And when I got up a little later, I didn't see the people of the crusade team, but they looked remorseful. This is a big move that has been rare in the royal capital for a long time, and he didn't even see it with his own eyes?
Alex, who also woke up not long ago, habitually went to the courtyard to see the teacher's figure, facing the empty courtyard, he returned to the living room in confusion and found the letter left by Lan on the coffee table.
The writing was crooked, but the general meaning was that Alex understood, but in a slight hesitation, he couldn't believe that it was the teacher's handwriting.
Putting aside this confusion, Alex changed his clothes and walked out of the house, trotting towards the Karlsten mansion, and when he reached the gate of the courtyard, he happened to see several maids cleaning up the remaining objects in the courtyard.
The flags gathered in a ball, piled up in the shape of a hill, and the footprints of the dragons in groups are jaw-dropping, what is going on here?
A frowning Alex walked into the courtyard, grabbed the nearest maid next to him, and asked, "Is Ronnie at home?"
"The young master is resting, may I ask who you are?" The head of the Kurxiu family was not there, and the beautiful maid couldn't help but ask a little more.
"I'm Ronnie's colleague in the Knights, and we serve the Knight Captain together - Arashi-sama, you can pass on my name on your behalf, my name is Alex. "A good birth, so that the tall and mighty Alex did not make a mistake in etiquette.
"It's really rude, please come with me to the living room and wait for a while. The maid led the way with a slight apology, "I will convey your situation to the head maid." ”
Alex's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, "Old man Wilhelm, isn't he in the mansion?"
"Yes, he has gone out with Master Kursius, and it will be some time before he returns. ”
"Okay, I got it. Alex nodded at the maid's answer.
After making his way to the living room, Alex, who was sitting idly, didn't wait long before he saw a sleepless Ronnie coming down the spiral staircase.
Ronnie was also surprised by his appearance, and asked with a sigh of relief, "Alex, it's rare to see you come to me." Is there something the teacher commands?"
"Get your clothes on. Alex looked at Ronnie's pajamas and frowned, "Do you still have a dragon car at home?"
"What's wrong?" said Ronnie, confused.
"This morning, the teacher left a letter and asked me to take you to a place, the situation is more urgent. Alex tried to make a long story short, in fact, Arashi didn't explain much in the letter, but Alex had a hunch that something terrible should have happened.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll be ready in a minute, is there anything else?" The lazy drowsiness disappeared in an instant, and Ronnie agreed cleanly.
"Not for the time being, try to choose a horse with a faster foot. Alex spoke his advice.
"Leave it to me. With a gesture that didn't matter, Ronnie's figure hurriedly disappeared at the top of the stairs.
