As the saying goes, it's too late, from General Brian's sudden sword drawing to being defeated, and then to Emmanuel's escape, although so many things have happened at once, but in fact, only a few seconds have passed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

So it wasn't until this time that the hundreds of Scarlet Knights around reacted, and then they began to react.

Since one of the two men who could give orders to the knights had fallen to the ground with serious injuries at this moment, and the other was fleeing with all his might, the knights had to react instinctively on their own, which divided them into two factions.

A small group of people followed Emmanuel to protect His Royal Highness, while most chose to stay behind and protect the badly wounded General Brian.

"General, are you alright?" Several Scarlet Knights jumped off their mounts, helped General Brian to his feet, and began to help him bandage his wounds.

It was clear that the female Assassin had not taken the kick lightly on General Bryan, as evidenced by his pale face, bloody chest, and the blood that kept pouring from the corners of his mouth.

But General Bryan shook off the hand that wanted to help him bandage: "Fool, just leave a few people down, you go and protect His Highness!" ”

The general spoke in a hurry, and suddenly a large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and he fainted at once.

The Scarlet Knights looked at each other, and finally chose to put General Bryan on their horses, and then the hundreds of Scarlet Knights hurriedly chased down in the direction of their own formation, that is, Emmanuel's escape.

At this moment, Emmanuel rode wildly through the silent streets, his chest rising and falling violently, and the pride and ambition that had filled his heart when he set out had long since disappeared, replaced by fear.

The fear even affected his vision, making the dark streets in front of him look like a road to hell, making Emmanuel feel like he was taking one more step closer to death with every second he ran.

But he had to follow this path, because at the end of the street, in that blazing place, the Duke of Leanne was leading more than 20,000 Scarlet Knights and the army of the eldest princess in a fierce battle, and only by getting to that place could Emmanuel be truly safe.

The sound of the night wind whistled in Emanuel's ears, and although he had lived in the city for nearly thirty years, Emmanuel had never noticed that the night wind in Redema was so cold, cold and biting, as if the death scythe was gently touching his cheeks, causing him goosebumps to rise from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.

At this moment, there was no longer any one of the guards by Emanuel's side, and less than ten seconds ago, the last two guards who had been by his side also drew the long knives at their waists and disappeared from Emanuel's sight.

This did not mean that those guards had betrayed His Royal Highness, in fact, all of Emmanuel's guards had left the Grand Prince only because they wanted to delay the pursuit of the female Sanctuary behind them as much as possible.

And they did.

If it weren't for the miraculous performance of these guards who sacrificed their lives, Emmanuel would not have been able to escape from this distance, which was several kilometers long, pursued by a Sanctuary powerhouse.

Emmanuel raised the whip in his hand fiercely and swung it down, the blood-colored steed under his crotch neighed in pain, and there was another whip mark on the back of the flesh and blood, and involuntarily accelerated the speed of the horse's hooves.

The road in front of him had come to an end, the red fire light illuminated Emanuel's face, and the sound of shouting and killing gradually became clear in Emanuel's ears, which made Emanuel's fear gradually lessen, and everything in front of him slowly became clearer.

His Royal Highness recognized the road in front of him, and as long as he turned right at the end of this road, he would be able to see the presence of at least three thousand soldiers of the Scarlet Knights.

These soldiers were placed here as reserves, and at this time, these 3,000 reserve soldiers were a lifeline within Emmanuel's reach.

Emmanuel quickly turned his head to take a look, but he didn't notice the thin figure in the air that terrified him, which made his heart relax slightly.

"Damn stinky ****!" Emmanuel gritted his teeth and cursed the assassin behind him: "After I ascend the throne as emperor, I must wipe out all the powerhouses of the Sacred Realm in the empire, no, the entire continent, and burn them all at the stake!" ”

Obviously, this assassination of the female Sanctuary cast a very heavy shadow on Emmanuel's heart, so much so that His Royal Highness the small prince hated all the powerhouses of the Sanctuary because of this.

At this moment, in addition to resentment, Emmanuel was actually somewhat glad in his heart, knowing that when this female soldier came to report the news, if it wasn't for the fact that his guards had not let this female soldier get close enough distance to him, Emmanuel would have been a dead man a long time ago.

"Eldest Princess, it must be an assassin sent by the Eldest Princess!" The expression on Emmanuel's face was hideous, and he hated his biggest competitor now, the eldest princess: "It's all to blame for this stinky woman, who dares to try to get involved in the throne that only I am qualified to ascend!" When this prince ascends the throne as the emperor, I will let her know what it means to live and not to die! ”

"By the way, and that church stinky boy Leo! He dared to do a bad thing to me three times and twice, and he must die too! Not only is he going to die, but I also want the damned, stupid Church of Light, which has no effect on the Empire except to demagogue, this parasite church that has been lying on the Empire for three hundred years and greedily sucking the blood of the Empire, will completely disappear from this continent and completely wipe out! ”

However, in just a few tens of meters, Emmanuel had already imagined the pitiful, pathetic, and shameful end of all his enemies, which finally made the anger in his heart a little less, and even his body, which had become very stiff due to fear, was a little more flexible.

The corner was already in sight, and Emmanuel looked back again vigilantly, but still did not find the female Sanctuary Assassin, which made him finally completely relieved and turned his head again.

It was at this moment that a small rock suddenly shot out of a dark corner around the corner, striking and piercing the left front leg of Emmanuel's crotch mount.

The horse's mouth let out an earth-shattering neigh, and the horse's body at the gallop suddenly lost its balance and fell to the ground with a thud, splashing a large cloud of smoke and dust.

Emmanuel, who was unprepared on horseback, was thrown out by the great inertia, and threw a very graceful parabola in the air, which happened to cross the fence on the side of the street, smashed heavily on the roof of a house, and then fell to the ground with a lot of broken bricks and tiles.

Just as Emmanuel was smashed to pieces, rolling and moaning on the ground from east to west, north and south, a boot suddenly slammed on his chest, and then a very familiar and hateful voice of the great prince rang in his ears.

"Hello, Your Royal Highness."

Emmanuel reluctantly opened his eyes and saw someone he least wanted to see at the moment.

Leo.
