Chapter 33: Soul Snatching
Solanda was alone and on a horse** at the highest point of the dunes, and half a mile long behind her was her army, but she could no longer control the shape of the current situation, on the execution ground temporarily fenced by the bottom of the sand dune, Viru let out a heart-rending cry with every step, and the roar of the blood wolf guards and the cheers of the knights of Neverwinter echoed in her ears, Solanda just wanted to escape far away.
A long figure in the moonlight walked towards the Queen, it was her sweetheart, her husband, the future Prince of Neverwinter, the little prince of the Land of Sand Riders, Phoenix. These dazzling titles alone are enough to scare the Six Nations, but the most irresistible thing about Phoenix is his handsome face and unpredictable charm.
"You're here, dear." Phoenix smiled warmly and stretched out his arm to Solanda.
Solanda rolled over and dismounted, embracing Phoenix affectionately.
"Is it over?"
"Not yet," Phoenix shook his head, "poor Viru can't get up anymore, he's crawling." ”
"It's all my fault," Solanda closed her eyes, "if I could just give him a sword......
"Shhh He stroked her hair, as if caressing the ignorant little daughter, "You've done a great job, I'm proud of you." ”
The screams in the distance died down, and the moonlit crowd began to disperse, and the endless tranquility covered the desert again. Solanda didn't have the courage to go back, and for the first time in her life, she felt unworthy of being a queen. She is accustomed to killing, but she can't do it to her comrades, she is conceited and decisive, but she can't balance the power relationship between the north and the south. Compared to her mother, she is a timid-looking queen. Mother will think deeply about the decisions she will make, and she will never go back on what she has decided, but she has just made a decision that she regrets, and God knows how many more will come next?
"How long will it take to get to the edge of the shield?" Thinking about it, Sorenda looked at the slightly pale sky.
"Tomorrow," Phoenix put his arm around her shoulders and kissed her by the hair, "We'll see Coman soon." ”
Solanda looked at the fading moon in the sky and nodded heavily.
I'm the dividing line*******
The edge of the Misty Forest follows the same path as all the mountains, first the nearby heath becomes a sparsely turfed plain, then mossy stones and low shrubs multiply, high and low beech, soldier pine, and sentinel trees are scattered in between, and then there are tall trees, the distance between the trees is staggering, but you will never see the sun in the sky in the forest, the ancient vines greedily compete for the sun, spitting psychedelic smoke from each other, and the forest is foggy all year round. Even without the shield of the Midsummer Country, the hunters did not dare to enter this forest, for fear of being served dinner by unknown monsters.
At the edge of the forest stood several thatched-roofed one-room houses, a moss-covered stone hall, a well, and a stable, but there were no horses and no people. Solanda used the Stone Hall as a makeshift tent, and her army was on standby behind her.
Three days ago, she released her first carrier pigeon, and then one a day until she heard from Koeman. Koeman will open his shield at noon today, and the three-month expedition will be complete. In three months, a lot has happened, Akira, Gungatu, Katulu, the old wolf Voguson, and Viru, their voices are still in front of them, and their battle is over. When the shield is activated, another battle is about to begin.
My life is constantly declaring war on myself.
I. Solandar the Brave.
In the middle of the sun, the shield is opened as promised.
A forest facing the south began to stir, and every crack and crevice between the trees shone with a pale blue light, as if the north wind swept through the woods at the feet, shaking off the thin blue crystal on the canopy, blowing down the small crystal fragments, and the trees shrank in this flying fragment, and gradually shrunk as the image changed, and some small trees even shrank into saplings, and finally disappeared, and then they were replaced by trees in the depths, and then those trees also became smaller, and disappeared again, until a straight and deep avenue was revealed.
"Go home!" Solanda raised his horsewhip and gave orders to the whole army.
Despite knowing that Koeman would wait for everyone to pass through safely before turning off the shield again, Solanda and Phoenix, who were like arrows, rushed to the front of the group, the tall and quiet trees on both sides were constantly thrown behind them, and the noon sun leaked dreamy dappled light and shadow from the dense branches of the broadleaf wood, every qiē was so pleasant, and every qiē was so beautiful, at that moment, Solanda almost intended to give up her resentment towards her mother, and planned to accept Vanessa's unbehaving sister, and planned to let them live. I'm going to forget about the past of the Sand Riding Country.,Planning-
Coman was waiting for her and Phoenix on the other side of the forest.
What could be more enjoyable than having a lover and a best friend at the same time! The young queen rode to her friend.
As soon as he got off the horse, Coman rushed over and hugged Phoenix.
But when Solanda ran towards them, she found that they weren't just hugging each other—they were kissing affectionately
