Chapter 266: Flying Sword
The head of the Goddess of Fate Sect left a sentence and drifted away, and he was extremely chic. Anthony looked at her dusty back, his eyes flashing thoughtfully.
But when I turned around, I saw Her Royal Highness the princess who was very anxious, but she didn't have time to think about it, and resolutely ordered:
"Go on!"
The ironclad cavalry raised their horse's hooves again and rolled westward.
After a little more travel, it was getting dark. Anthony found a small, deserted village nearby and planned to camp there for the night.
Anthony had led the army all the way before, so he was naturally familiar with the terrain here. Although he seemed to be in a hurry, he actually paid attention to controlling his speed, and he had already chosen a place to stay overnight.
Although Princess Arlina was in a hurry, she also knew that people always needed to rest, and it was impossible to travel day and night. Coupled with the trust in Anthony, there is no opinion at the moment.
The moon hangs high and night falls.
In the moonlight, Anthony stood alone in a small courtyard outside his room, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, thinking to himself.
The Goddess of Destiny came very abruptly, and what she said was even more beginningless and endless, which made people scratch their heads, but it seemed to imply something.
This sect has always been very mysterious, and it has never been involved in any disputes, and this time he suddenly took the initiative to find him, so that Anthony did not dare to ignore it.
But no matter how smart Anthony is in his brain, it is difficult to figure out the meaning of her words.
She said that she had taken the wrong path, if in the most direct literal sense, did she mean that she should not return to the imperial capital?
For this trip to the imperial capital, even if he didn't meet the Goddess of Fate Sect, Anthony already had doubts in his heart.
King Beckenbauer was critically ill and it was normal for him to find his daughter to go back and see him. But Anthony is the commander of an army, and he is leading a large army to fight abroad, how can he say that he can leave if he leaves?
If it weren't for the death of Riga Marshal Banks and the collapse of his only military power, Anthony might not have been able to walk away as he is now.
If there is nothing the imperial doctor in the palace can do, His Majesty knows that Anthony will refine all kinds of magical elixirs, and he wants to go back to treat his illness and save his life, which can be regarded as a reasonable explanation.
But what really makes Anthony suspicious is time.
The timing is not right!
According to the person who came to him, His Majesty began to get sick when he was engaged in war with Marshal Banks. After a few more days, His Majesty was too sick to get out of bed, so he had no choice but to send someone here.
The problem is that a few days have not passed since the two sides agreed to fight and the end of the war today. Even if the tall and thin man could fly, he couldn't have appeared in front of him so quickly.
If you really want to talk about it, it seems that he is holding a holy decree and hiding from the side to watch secretly. When the dust of the war settled, he suddenly appeared and came to read the will.
Either that, or the empire has come up with a new way to teleport people or things over in an instant, like a portal. But it was only used to transmit the holy decree, and even he, the general of the empire, did not tell him. This is obviously a very incredible thing.
Whatever the case may be, the tall, thin man must have lied to Anthony about something.
But Anthony looked at it again and again, and upon closer examination, found it to be true.
In this way, this man and the main messenger behind him are definitely not simple. For the sake of His Majesty's safety, and for the sake of Princess Athena's peace of mind, Anthony could only plan and go back to the imperial capital.
With Anthony's current cultivation, there are not many people in this world who can make him jealous. Whether it is the sword mountain and the sea of fire or the tiger's den in Longtan, he can go to it as much as possible. No matter what the other party has any conspiracy, Anthony is confident that he will be able to break it.
In any case, if Duke Arlina wants to return to the imperial capital, he will definitely follow. Especially when he sensed that there was something wrong with it, it was even more unlikely that he would let Arlina be alone.
While he was thinking, a faint sound of footsteps came. When I looked back, it was Princess Arlina who came.
"Anthony, what's going on?"
Arlina looked tired, but she didn't look sleepy. I thought it was worrying, and I couldn't sleep at all.
Before nightfall, Anthony secretly signaled to her to come out secretly in the middle of the night to rendezvous.
Although Princess Alina was worried about her father's condition, she had already sensed that something was wrong from Anthony's actions.
Anthony hadn't been able to discern the truth of the matter at this time, and he didn't want to increase Arlina's worries in vain, so he just avoided the important and said, "I know that you are in a hurry, so I have thought of a way to return to the imperial capital quickly." ”
"Really?" Alina was pleasantly surprised, and sure enough, she forgot her previous doubts.
Anthony took her hand and whispered, "Let's go." ”
I saw his empty other hand move, and a giant sword the size of a door panel appeared out of thin air, quietly suspended in the air three feet above the ground, but it was a spear "Chaos" that was rerefined by Anthony and could change shape at will.
Of course, the current chaos has turned into a flying sword!
Before Arlina could exclaim, Anthony had leapt onto the Chaos Greatsword with a tap of her foot. As soon as his mind moved, the giant sword suddenly activated, slashing through the sky like a meteor, and flew out of sight in a blink of an eye......
The sun is high, the sky is blue, and it is another good weather.
The three hundred guards got up one after another and walked out of the resting place, all with a little doubt in their hearts.
It's already three poles in the sun, and the general hasn't even told them to set off for a hurry. Not only did the general and the eldest princess not see anyone, but the commanders also did not blow the horn of the assembly of the bed, which is really a bit strange.
Their most respected general, Princess Arlina, didn't seem to be up yet, but the captain of the guard didn't lie in bed.
"Captain, aren't you in a hurry today?"
Someone couldn't hold it back and came forward to ask.
The captain sat flat, with no expression on his face, just looking at him coldly.
"How do I know that. Why don't you go and ask the general? ”
The warrior retreated stupidly, not daring to ask any more questions.
Until noon, Anthony and Arina still didn't show up. The captain finally made a move, but he ordered a fire to be lit and cooked.
The three hundred ironclad warriors had breakfast, and they were suspicious, just looking at the room where Anthony had rested last night.
At this time, the captain gave the order again.
"The whole team assembles and returns to the military camp!"
"But, Captain......" The soldiers looked at the door, then at the captain, and then stopped.
The captain glanced at the man with a murderous expression.
"Are you going to disobey?"
The military order is like a mountain!
Anthony ruled the army, and the heaviest order was forbidden. These three hundred people are his personal guards, so they are naturally more clear and profound. At this time, although they had doubts in their hearts, they still followed the order and returned to the camp now under the command of General Tang Feng.
The captain watched the last warrior leave, glanced back in the direction of the imperial capital of the Glorious Empire, and finally turned his horse's head and chased in the direction of the brigade.
At this time, the general and Her Royal Highness the princess should have arrived in the imperial capital.
Crossing such a long distance overnight sounds incredible. If someone else talked about it, the captain would have scolded him for being ridiculous. But since this was said by the general himself, the captain would never doubt the truth of it.
