Chapter 148: Moving with the Wind
That's Vanessa's plan.
Earlier, Brandt slashed the front leg of a cow and transferred the damage to the unsuspecting Prince Terrence, while Carter's clown father sent the prince a snitch letter to the prince with a single sentence: Colin did it.
If it goes smoothly, with Brandt's skills, he will be able to get rid of the guards at the well and rescue Morty in three minutes, and Terrence's capital fort will not even ring the alarm bell.
But things never went smoothly.
Vanessa estimated that Colin would take some of the guards, but instead of distracting his forces, the treacherous butler increased his manpower, and the most incomprehensible thing was Morty, who seemed to have betrayed Carter for the "inheritance" that Colin said! What's going on! Aren't she and Carter really in love, did her temperament change after becoming a man?
The three men looked at each other at the exit from the wall of the well.
Brandt tilted his head towards Carter, "You please." β
"But I," Carter's handsome dark eyes twinkled with fear, "I have no plan. β
"You dare to save your sweetheart without a plan?" Brandt scoffed at the embroidered pillow, "Are young people so impetuous nowadays?" β
"No kidding," Vanessa glared at the prince, "we have to find a way out." β
"You're going to help him," Brandt shrugged, "I'm only in charge of fighting." β
Vanessa grabbed a stone from the ground, "Ready." The two men nodded in the darkness, their eyes rising and falling with the princess's hand.
As soon as the stones thrown from the well appeared, countless iron arrows flashing with cold light suddenly shot from all directions, "It's now!" Vanessa cried out, and Brant leapt to her feet, appearing like a god in front of the guards who had not had time to change their arrows. Carter followed, and before the stone could hit the ground, the three men had already jumped out of the well.
Vanessa looked around in the moonlight, and her heart sank - at least ten guards were waiting for them with swords in hand, and in the grass and on the rooftops not far away, an unknown number of archers kept the best shooting distance, and God knows if she would be shot as a hedgehog after the next heartbeat!
Rolling in the grass with the force of leaping up to the mouth of the well, the princess found herself scattered with her companions, and several arrows pierced into the crevices in front of her cheeks, quenched arrows, shining faintly in the darkness.
That's it. Vanessa closed her eyes in despair, she only wanted to be a hero in front of Brant for a moment, but once again put him in danger, and the thundering gray feather arrows in front of her reminded her that she must think of a way to escape, otherwise-
Suddenly there was a gust of wind on the ground.
"Vanessa! Catch! "Brandt had a good record in the other direction, and he was able to free his hands while killing, and something fell in a perfect arc before the princess's eyes.
It's the flower of sleep!
Good Brant! You can always help me in the most critical moments!
Vanessa grabbed the sleeping flower wrapped in soft armor and ran desperately in the direction of the gust of wind. As she ran, the princess crushed the crystals with all her might, hurry, hurry, Carter had already been hit by several arrows in the corner of her eye, and her life was on the verge of running to the upper hand to sprinkle the powder of the sleeping flowers, so that the hateful guards would not wake up.
At the last moment, as she approached the wall, an arrow struck the princess in the shoulder, causing her body to slam to one side, and Vanessa's other hand was raised to the sky, and the sparkling sleeping pollen fluttered in the wind, and the stars swept into the nostrils of the guards and into the prince's mouth, and a silent contest began, and the people forgot their duties, and they closed their eyes and fell to the ground, even the sword in their hands fell to their thighs, unconscious.
Vanessa smacked her tongue secretly, she had been hit by this sleeping spell made of stone flowers, but she never thought that it would take away a person's consciousness so quickly, it was faster than splashing water to extinguish a fire!
"Help, save me." As the direction of the wind and Vanessa's arrow caused the sleeping pollen to drift around Carter, the boy was now conscious and in no pain.
Vanessa's arrow wound on the shoulder was not deep, only scratching a little skin, but when she walked up to Carter, she realized that she could not save him whether she was injured or notβhe was crushed by archers and rocks rolling off the roof.
"Carter, can you still use magic?" Vanessa looked at the weight on the boy's body and Brant, who was sleeping not far away, and thought that she had to take a risk.
"I can still move my hands." The arrows on the boy's body were suppressed, effectively blocking the bleeding hole, otherwise he would have fallen into a blood-losing coma at this moment. "What are you going to do?"
"Turn me into a man." Vanessa pointed to herself, "I don't have the strength to carry your stuff away right now, they'll wake up in a little while, and if we don't get you out in time, we'll all be doomed." β
Carter didn't hesitate: "Well, I don't want to die." β
As he spoke, he stretched out his arms and circled Vanessa into his field of vision
