Chapter 349: The King's Knight
Hopkins's words calmed down a lot of the apprehensive Amaterasu powerhouses.
Although they didn't think that the Grand Priest Therland, the Holy Warrior Ralph, and even the legendary mage Hopkins would really end up fighting hard, they still had expectations for the "strong reinforcements" that Hopkins said.
Of course, Sakamoto Tokiki and Nakama Hatsu, who have ghosts in their hearts, don't feel very good.
They took precautions, betrayed their intelligence, and exchanged their lives for the imperial army, hoping that when they stormed the mountain fortress, they would not be poisoned by Li Qing and others. Originally, the deal had been reached, and after getting the spell information, Li Qing had already given them a promise through the Heavenly Imperial Sakura, but now things have obviously changed again.
"If there really is a so-called strong reinforcement ......" Sakamoto thought quickly in his heart: "If the so-called strong reinforcement is strong enough to help us break the fortress, annihilate the imperial army, and kill Li Qing and other imperial powerhouses, then Li Qing and the others are afraid that before they die, they will shake me and Nakama out of the shadow and pull us back!" β
Nakama's thoughts are similar to those of Sakamoto Toki, and even more in-depth than Sakamoto Tokito:
"If the fortress is broken, Li Qing and other imperial powerhouses are afraid that they will pull me and Sakamoto on their backs. If the fortress can't be broken, Li Qing and the others will probably blame me and Sakamoto for providing untrue information and not telling them about the reinforcements. If there were unexpected losses to the Imperial Army because of those strong reinforcements, even if Li Qing and the others finally held the fortress, I am afraid that they would turn against me and Sakamoto! β
Thinking of this, Nakama gritted his teeth secretly, "I served the Holy Light Alliance, but I was forced to be forcibly recruited, not willingly. Among the powerhouses of the Pillar Kingdom who participated in the war this time, I am the only one who has not participated in the cleansing of the clan before, and my hands are cleaner than Sakamoto Tokiki! Wavering, the most undesirable. Now that you've betrayed the information, let's just go to the ground running! β
As soon as she thought of this, she raised her eyes to look at Sakamoto Shichen, only to see Sakamoto Shichen smiling, with a calm face, obviously making up some kind of determination.
At this time, only to hear Hopkins say: "Order, the fleet is back!" β
With the sound of the cannon, the Amaterasu fleet drew a large arc on the sea, turned around, and sailed towards Zhongshan Island.
β¦β¦
Bang Bang Bang!
Near noon, in the fortress, suddenly the alarm bell rang. Groups of Imperial troops, along with three hundred of Amaterasu's elite servants, neatly dressed and fully armed, rushed out of the barracks and rushed to their respective battle positions.
Scarlett and Ni Yuanyuan, who lived together, helped each other put on their armor and weapons, and rushed out of the dormitory as fast as they could, heading towards the garrison commander's office.
Li Qing walked quickly to the door of Su Su's house and knocked on the door vigorously: "Su Su, the Amaterasu fleet turned around two hours ago, and now it's back!" β
The door opened, and Su Su appeared in front of Li Qing in the image of the queen of golden armor.
The dark golden mask covered her face, and even her chin was tightly covered, revealing only a pair of calm, clear and pure black pupilsβonly when facing Li Qing, her pupils were so clear as water, pure as night. When she faced others, no matter who she was, she would always see the mysterious darkness of the abyss, the majesty of the sky.
She stared at Li Qing, nodded slightly, and strode out of the room. Dark golden boots clattered against the stone floor. Li Qing followed her, half a step behind her at first, but soon walked up to her and walked side by side with her.
As the king who once ruled the planes and made the gods bow down, Su Su in the past, no one dared to walk side by side with her.
It's not a taboo for her, and she's never explicitly or implicitly about it. It's just that in the past, she was peerless and majestic. Anyone in front of her will inevitably be ashamed of themselves, and will be suppressed by her aura, and will naturally surrender in front of her.
If you have surrendered, how dare you stand side by side?
The current Su Su, even though he is covered with heavy armor and covered with a mask, his peerless elegance is still revealed in every move. And her strength, although she has not recovered to her peak, and even her strength of one percent, one thousandth, or one ten-thousandth of her peak has not recovered, but her aura as the supreme king will still be unconsciously revealed, making people ashamed of themselves and cowering and inferior.
Only Li Qing is not intimidated by Su Su's aura.
Only he will not be ashamed of her style of pouring the country, nor will he be frightened and humbled by her king's aura.
Only he can walk calmly beside Su Su.
Because in Li Qing's mind, no matter what Su Su becomes, she will always be the little girl who relies on him, trusts him, likes him, and curls up in his arms to seek safety and dependence.
He is her guardian knight, destined to stand before her, shelter her from the wind and rain, walk beside her, walk side by side with her forever.
Li Qing pressed the saber in his hand and walked side by side with Su Su. The footsteps of the two are intertwined, and naturally form a tacit rhythm like flowing clouds. They walked down the corridor and down the stairs. As they walked through the hall of the official office, they were already followed by three girls.
Scarlett, Ni Yuanyuan, Song Qiqi.
The three girls wore the same heavy armor, wore long knives at their waists, and carried shields and spears.
After experiencing the baptism of war, they looked solemn, their eyes were resolute, and their steps were calm. With three delicate and touching faces with different styles, they are like three iron-blooded roses angry in the smoke of war, beautiful and moving, but also extremely dangerous.
The drizzle was like silk, and in the sound of the friction of the armor and armor leaves, Li Qing and the five walked straight out of the hall of the official office and walked into the rain curtain.
Outer walls on the city's head.
Xiaolongnu and Chu Lingfeng stood motionless in the wind and rain, silently watching the Amaterasu fleet that slowly sailed into the port channel.
It wasn't until the Amaterasu fleet anchored in front of the military port that Chu Lingfeng sighed lightly and muttered, "It's really back." β
A grim smile tugged at the corner of the little dragon girl's mouth: "Just go like this, and you can still keep the fleet." When you come back, don't think about leaving. As long as it survives today, the Amaterasu fleet will be completely annihilated. β
Chu Lingfeng turned around: "Su Su came out." β
The little dragon girl looked back and saw Su Su's figure already appearing on the highest fort. Li Qing stood side by side with her, looking down. Ni Yuanyuan, Scarlett, and Song Qiqi wore helmets and armor, fully armed, and stood behind the two.
The little dragon girl said, "Let's go over too." β
Chu Lingfeng nodded, went down the city wall with the little dragon girl, and walked towards the highest artillery base.
In front of the castle, there are thousands of undead armies, and the Amaterasu army has no army, and it is impossible to attack from the front. It is impossible for the strong men in the Amaterasu army to forcibly break through the undead army formation.
If you want to break through the military formation composed of thousands of undead, even if there are twenty pillar country powerhouses, you have to consume most of your physical strength. Therefore, this attack, the strongest of the Amaterasu army will inevitably attack from several other steep slopes that are not suitable for the deployment of the army. With the strength of the powerhouses of the Pillar Country, the steep slopes with a drop of more than forty meters on those sides could not prevent them from climbing.
When Chu Lingfeng and Xiaolongnu came to the highest fort, a group of pillar country powerhouses had already come down from the Amaterasu, stepped on water and landed, and came to the foot of the mountain.
"Thirteen powerhouses of Amaterasu, two people from the Holy Light Alliance." Looking at the fifteen pillar country powerhouses at the foot of the mountain, Xiaolongnu said, "It's still those old faces from yesterday." β
"Look, there's a new person coming." Chu Lingfeng suddenly pointed to the north: "It's still from the island!" β
Everyone looked in the direction she pointed out, and saw seven figures shrouded in black robes, led by a petite girl in a black power suit, coming from the north of Zhongshan Island at a gallop, and soon crossed the port fortress and joined the Amaterasu powerhouses at the foot of the mountain.
"Who are they?" Scarlett said, "How did you come from the island?" β
"That's someone from the Xuan family." Xiaolongnu sneered: "Did you see that girl?" She is Xuan Baosong's sister Xuan Baoling. Those seven black-robed people should be the Xuan's Black Water Seven Guards. β
The little dragon girl inherited the memory of Long Linghan, so she recognized Xuan Baoling at a glance.
Seeing Xuan Baoling, and then seeing the seven black-robed people who were tall, short, fat and thin, with heavy breath, elegant, violent, peaceful, cold, agitated, or feminine, although the little dragon girl had never really seen the seven guards of the black water, she could also identify their origins at a glance.
"Xuan Baosong's sister?" Li Qing stared directly, his gaze passed a distance of hundreds of meters, and fell on the face of the petite girl. I saw that the girl was born pure and beautiful, Chu Chu was moving, and she looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she couldn't help but wonder: "It looks very small, how can it be Xuan Baosong's sister?" β
Xiaolongnu said: "It looks very small, but her actual age is already twenty-three years old." β
"Twenty-three?" Li Qing scraped the hard fibrous roots on his chin and said with a smile: "It's really Lori with a long shelf life!" β
As he was speaking, Xuan Baoling under the mountain seemed to sense Li Qing's gaze, raised his face, and smiled at Li Qingyan. The smile is innocent, with a little shyness, and with the fleshy red lips, it looks cute and cute.
"She smiled at me!" Li Qing smiled and said: "That girl looks good, she is not fierce and vicious, she is much more pleasing to the eye than Xuan Baosong." β
"Don't judge people by their appearance." The little dragon girl said: "Xuanbao Ling is more terrifying than Xuanbao Song. If Xuan Baosong is a villain, then Xuan Baoling is an out-and-out madman and pervert. It is said that the exercises she cultivates are very perverted, and she can suck men into dry corpses and make men die willingly. In short, that woman is difficult to deal with, and you must not be soft when you deal with her. β
Li Qingdao: "Don't worry." After I entered the combat state, there was only friend and foe in my eyes, and there were no men and women, beautiful and ugly. β
Xiaolongnu said: "Looking at the appearance of Xuan Baoling and Heishui Qiwei, they should have lurked to Zhongshan Island a long time ago." Unexpectedly, in order to avenge Xuan Baosong, the Xuan family actually got involved with Amaterasu. β
Scarlett said: "The Xuan family is mixed with the people of Amaterasu, this is treason!" How dare they? β
"What would they not dare?" Ni Yuanyuan said: "As long as we are killed, no one will know that they are treasonous." β
Scarlett said puzzledly: "But, with Su Su here, how can the Amaterasu Army be sure to kill us?" Su Su is a legendary mage. β
A strange smile appeared in Su Su's eyes: "Of course, that's because, of course, the Amaterasu Army is sure to kill me together." β
