Chapter 22: Imminent
Two fast horses galloped on the dirt road in the middle of the mountain, and a puff of sand and dust rose as they passed. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Before dawn, Lindsay and Edith left the barracks for the eastern border. The situation was urgent, and they did not dare to delay for a minute. It would take less than half a month to rush from the southern border to the eastern border, and the two calculated the distance and the deadline given by Bolt, and continued to hurry on the way except for letting the two war horses rest and drink water. Even the time to sleep is limited......
"You, toil!" The two stopped by a river to take a break, and Edith looked at Lindsay, who was washing her face with the river water, and said.
Lindsay smiled: "I'm the heir to the throne, how can I do it myself if I don't do it myself~"
"You've done enough for Loraine, why can't you just get some rest......" Ithis pulled Lindsey over and looked at her emaciated cheeks in distress.
Lindsey smiled bitterly: "I am the God of War of Luolan, how can the God of War not rush to the front line?" I've gotten used to it for the past few years. ”
"Your reckless behavior is entirely because of Fasel." Edith lifted Lindsay's hand and bit down on her finger.
"......" If it is in the past, Farsell is Lindsay's death hole and a big taboo. However, in the face of Edith, Lindsay was not angry: "I confess...... If it weren't for the incompetence at the time, Fasel wouldn't have lost his life to save me. Fight on the battlefield, in order to hone yourself and make yourself stronger! ”
But...... Now she's stronger...... Fasel was still lying in the cold crystal coffin......
Seeing Lindsay suddenly in a daze, Edith nodded her forehead angrily: "It hurts!" Satisfied to hear Lindsay's cry of pain, Itis La Lindsay fell into his arms: "Fasel is an irreplaceable existence, but if you are torturing yourself because of him......"
Lindsay shook her head helplessly: "Okay, it's not early." Let's go......" Leave Edith's arms and turn over on his horse.
"At this rate, how long will it take to get there?" Edith catches up with Lindsay and goes head in hand with her. He couldn't bear to see Lindsay rushing so desperately, so he couldn't help but ask Lindsay.
"Tomorrow evening, why do you like to run after me so much!"
"Yes, if I don't run after you, how long will it take me to see you this time? One year or three years? It's hard to fall in love with a woman like you, Duke Ben, Mustang! ”
Hearing Edith's words, Lindsay was heartbroken. She didn't notice that her heart, which had been frozen by itself, was slowly melting. There was a tenderness on her face that she hadn't even noticed......
Finally, they reached the eastern border the next evening. In the tent, General Gus and General Shul, who was guarding the eastern border, sat in the tent, confused by Bolt's actions. Since the beginning of the war, only one battle has been fought, and after that, the troops have not moved, they have not called for battle, and they have not sent troops. Set up camp twenty miles away from the Luolan border......
But because of that desperate battle, they won a tie, but they lost their troops. Usain Bolt's prince hasn't made a move yet...... Damn...... This blow was enough for the two generals Gus and Shuer to beat their chests for a while. There was only one day left before Bolt made the offer, and the two generals in a hurry were like ants on a hot pot.
"Newspaper!! Two generals, the eldest princess and Lord Edith have arrived! ”
The voice of the announcement was like a heavenly voice that brought hope to the two generals, and they hurriedly went out to greet each other: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess, Lord Duke!" ”
Lindsay and Edith dismounted and came to the two generals, and hurriedly helped them up: "Don't see them like this! The two generals worked hard. ”
"No, Your Highness Princess. Please, for we have caused our army to lose its ranks! Gus's stubborn temper came up, and the eight horses couldn't pull it, and he knelt on the ground with General Shure and didn't move, which made Lindsay angry and funny.
"Two generals, this princess orders you to get up quickly. There are already winners and losers on the battlefield, and you can't be condemned to the two of you because of a failure! On the other hand, the two are the heroes of Loraine. Get up......"
The man didn't flick his tears when he had tears, and the eyes of the two generals were moist. Lindsay held the arms of the two generals and continued: "Bolt's power in the Eastern Continent is much greater than that of Lorain, and we have never dealt with them. I don't know their strength is also natural, they are so powerful, the two generals did not let them break through the defensive line, this is not a merit. Our soldiers are even more valuable! In this way, how can this princess punish and condemn you? Amos's original intention was not to compete with Lorain, just to get one person. Otherwise, they wouldn't stand still. Hurry up, please get up......"
The surrounding soldiers were moved by Lindsay's words, and some soldiers shed tears on the spot. For such a country, for such a monarch, it is worth giving your life.
Gus didn't insist, and stood up with the general: "Your Royal Highness Princess Xie! Hurry in and rest and tidy up, it's been hard along the way. ”
The four of them sat around and the soldiers served them drinks and food. After Lindsay and Edith had their fill, they began drinking and talking. General Gus first asked, "Your Royal Highness, I wonder who this Amos wants?" ”
"It's High Priest Ling Baiyi."
"Is there a legend of the High Priest on the Eastern Continent?" General Gus and General Shul secretly shouted that it was not good, if Bolt had to go to Ling Baiyi, then the world would not be completely taken over by them!
"The legend of the High Priest is true, and it is true that Narte is strong because of the strength of the High Priest of Notte. Who among the kings of the world doesn't want to get him, let alone his descendants. To tell the truth, I am not reconciled to hand over Ling Baiyi. But I had no choice but to do it. It's for her to choose, and it's best if she's willing to come forward. If you don't want to, we can't blame her, it's a big deal. Two generals, Edith. After Ling Baiyi came, no matter what her answer was, don't interject, let alone refute and persuade! This time, it was our fault first. When he needed her, he held her up to the sky, and when something happened, he threw her out like a hot potato. First of all, I can't get used to this! ”
The three people present were silent for a while, and what Lindsay said made sense. So, they nodded in agreement.
"Tomorrow is the last day of Bolt's deadline, now please rest and recuperate! Your Royal Highness, your tent with the Duke has been set up, please go and rest! ”
"Well, hard work." Lindsay nodded, and stepped out of the tent first. A soldier led the way, and their tents were set up not far from the main tent. Letting the soldier leave, Edith stood in front of Lindsay: "What for?" Lindsay was puzzled.
Edith smiled slightly: "Do you sleep with me or do I sleep with you?" ”
Lindsay's face turned red and he scolded: "You bastard, believe it or not, I slaughtered you!" ”
"Tease you, go to sleep!" Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Edith kissed Lindsay's lips: "Good night~"
Damn, Edith. Lindsay lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and when she closed her eyes, the face of Edith would come into view. She had felt this before, and Lindsay sat up, and her heart was mixed.
Fasel, do I betray you like this? If so, will you forgive me...... My heart already has a place for Edith, tell me, what do I do?
The next morning, Lindsay's head was drowsy and couldn't lift her spirits. After a night of tossing and turning, I fell asleep at dawn, but I didn't dare to sleep more because of the urgency of the situation. Enduring the throbbing pain in her head, Lindsay straightened her clothes and walked out of the military tent.
Edith and Lindsay came out of the account at almost the same time, and unlike Lindsay, Edith stretched a lazy waist a hundred times more energetically. Seeing Lindsay come out and hurriedly come to her side, when he saw her appearance, he felt distressed in his heart: "What, didn't you rest well?" ”
Lindsay gave Edith a blank look, but didn't say anything. God knows she had a headache to death!
"I told you to sleep with me, you just don't." Edith whispered in Lindsay's ear.
Lindsay's face stiffened and he almost scolded: "You shut up for me, in such an indiscriminate occasion, be careful that Princess Ben castrates you!" ”
"Oh? I don't care, but you'll be lucky for ...... for life" After that, Edith blinked his pair of evil Danfeng eyes: "You!! Lindsay was angry and just wanted to open her mouth to reprimand, but the throbbing pain from her head made her successfully stop: "...... is in pain."
Edith changed his previous teasing appearance and hugged Lindsay nervously: "Go back to my military tent to rest, and I'll find a medical officer for you to come and have a look in a while!" ”
"Put me down, I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well. After solving the matter of playing Ling Baiyi, it is not too late to sleep, and now I am not sure if Ling Baiyi is willing to help, how can I have this spare time to sleep. What's more, it's the last day of the deadline time. ”
Edith has convinced herself as a woman, and her heart will always be the country's priority. As soon as he spoke, he heard the woman's worries. In addition to admiration, it should be more worrying......
"Don't be reckless, go sleep for a while. It's still early, and the two generals haven't gotten up yet. In your current state, aren't you afraid of a mistake on the battlefield? Without waiting for Lindsay to refuse, Edith picked up Lindsay and walked into his tent. Stripping Lindsay off the cumbersome armor in twos and threes, he threw her onto the bed despite Lindsay's struggles: "In an hour, I'll come and wake you up in a while." Don't try to sneak out, or I'll keep you out of bed for a day. ”
Lindsay gritted her teeth and pulled up the quilt in a negative manner. Ithis was strange to be by her side...... It didn't take long for Lindsay to fall asleep.
Opening his eyes again, Lindsay's originally painful head was relieved: "Awake? Edith beside him hurriedly helped Lindsay up: "When?" ”
"No more, no less, you slept for a whole hour. Do you want to go to sleep? Edith kissed Lindsay's forehead and asked, "No, an hour is enough." Lindsay hurriedly got out of bed, took out the yellow talisman and wrote it quickly, and then burned the yellow talisman. She didn't know how Ling Baiyi would react when she found out about this, but Lindsay had prepared for the worst.
Time passed minute by minute, and I knew that most of the days had passed without hearing from Ling Baiyi. The two generals fidgeted anxiously, but Lindsay and Edith looked like they were. They couldn't wait for Ling Baiyi's result, they had already thought of it. With Ling Baiyi's character, it was impossible for her not to be angry when something like this happened. If you don't come, you should be~
"It seems that you can only fight hard!" Lindsay put down his glass and walked out of the tent, shouting, "All attention, vigilance!! Under this order, the soldiers knew that this meant that war was about to begin. No one dared to be careless and proceeded quickly according to the instructions of the squad leader.
There was a commotion in my ears, the galloping of horses, the running and shouting of soldiers. What should come will always come, and Lindsay stepped on his horse to the front. Not far away, a tall figure rode on a black horse, this person was dressed in black armor, and the armor was glowing with blinking light. He stood alone at the front of the army with a long sword in his hand, and when he saw Lindsay coming out of the camp, he said coldly: "It seems that you are ready to die." "The voice is clear and cold, and it makes people shudder. Lindsay stopped the horse's footsteps and said lightly: "Prince Amos, you insist on me being the priest of Loran, but you must also respect the wishes of the priest. You know the priest's command, and the princess herself has always been against handing her over, who will die...... Oh, not necessarily. ”
Amos's eyes turned cold, and he smiled disdainfully: "It is a blasphemy to be a sacrifice in a country like you that is weak and weak. Since Bai Yi refuses to come, then you must have made her unhappy, and now I will help her get angry. After saying that, the sword pointed at the sky, and cruelly ordered: "Remember, do not leave a living mouth, and do not accept surrender." ”
Lindsey shouted: "Fight for me Loraine!" There were no words of encouragement, but Lindsay's voice was like a stimulant, and Loraine's soldiers were not afraid to face them: "Edith! Be careful yourself. Lindsay looked back at him as he spoke. Edith nodded, looking at Lindsay's back as she left, and suddenly felt a panic in her heart.
Swords collided, and soldiers on both sides fought hard. One by one, fearless bodies fell, and one by one they got up. It was a bloody battle, and the ground beneath his feet was dyed red with blood. Lindsay jumped off her horse and joined the soldiers in chopping the enemy soldiers to the ground. The two sides fought inseparably, with countless casualties. Amos looked at it condescendingly, and couldn't help but admire Lindsay in his heart. No wonder she is known as the iron-blooded god of war, and when she arrives, her morale is completely different. At the previous stop, there were almost no losses on their side. But now, many of his soldiers have been killed. Interesting~ Amos clamped the horse's belly and opened a bloody path: "Lindsay, take your life!" ”
Amos jumped up from his horse, and a flying body fell from the air directly above Lindsay, Lindsay raised his head and hurriedly blocked Amos's attack with his sword. This collision made Lindsay's heart impressive, so strong. It was even more powerful than that barbarian Huo Cao. Lindsay took a few steps back from Amos's shock, her hands tingling.
"Not bad~ You are the only one who can take the blow of His Highness." Amos raised the long sword in his hand: "The next blow, His Highness will not show mercy." Your head, I will hang on the walls of the Bolt Empire. ”
"Hmph, that's exactly what I'm going to say, Amos Hugh is rampant!!" The swords of the two collided with each other with a crisp and piercing sound. Amos flicked his wrist and slashed at Lindsay. Lindsay reacted quickly enough to backhand the opponent with his sword, and the two raised their swords again, swinging them almost simultaneously. With a click, the sword in Lindsay's hand snapped.
Lindsay's face under the helmet had a pained expression. The sword was broken, and her hand was implicated. Amos looked at the saber in his hand, "Huh? Lindsay, I'm underestimating you. I let my sword leave a gap. ”
Throwing away the remnant sword in her hand, Lindsay shook her body and saw a flash of purple light all over her body. A harp appeared in her hand: "You are not bad, Amos. You are the only one who can make this princess use the Demon Sealing Qin as soon as the war starts. "The soldiers around are still fighting. Lindsey rippled the strings, emitting oscillating soundwaves. In addition to the Lorraine soldiers, Bolt's soldiers fell to the ground one after another. Just as Amos was momentarily stunned, a web of sound under Lindsay's Sealing Demon Lyre formed beneath their feet.
Amos was stunned for a moment, and then he was unusually calm instead of panicking: "It turns out that you also have an artifact in your hand~~"
Just when Lindsay closed his eyes and used all his internal strength on the sound net, a sudden cold aura came. Lindsay hurriedly opened his eyes and looked at Amos, at this time, Amos had an extra black long sword in his hand, and an ominous aura emanated from the long sword sword: "Lindsay, you are a little wrong. It's not that you alone have an artifact, let you see my magic sword to kill gods. ”
A surging murderous aura emanated from the Demon Sword Slayer God, and the soldiers around the two of them, who were not distinguishable from each other, were killed by this unused artifact, and the murderous aura wrenched their flesh and blood into pieces.
"The Lorrain soldiers obeyed the order, all evacuated!! Violators will be killed! When Lindsay saw this, he knew that he was invincible, and hurriedly retreated his warriors. She herself was already in it, and as long as she was distracted, she should be the one who died. The soldiers on the periphery had already noticed the situation on their side, and they had seen the power of the black sword and retreated. Edith cut down an enemy soldier and looked back at Lindsay, but it was okay not to look at it, and he broke out in a cold sweat when he saw it. He wanted to rush over to protect Lindsay, but the soldiers around him grabbed him and retreated: "Lindsay!! ”
Lindsay didn't dare to be careless, she first used the magic sound protector to protect herself from this murderous aura. Then, the swiftness of her hand changed, and the sound of the piano changed: the powerful purple light of the "Erosion Chapter" collided with Amos's anger. It feels like these two huge air masses could explode at any moment...... The loess under your feet is swept up by the air currents, forming a sandstorm.
The so-called erosion chapter is that the sound waves of the piano invade the enemy's meridians, and the sound waves attack from different meridians, which is a point in the human body, that is, the brain can also be the heart. And then......
Finally, at the end of the movement, Lindsay's little finger hooked the strings, her own internal strength was almost exhausted, but she couldn't stop, otherwise she would be eaten by the magic sound of the Sealed Magic Piano. Lindsay's breath was unsteady and his body was a little shaky, this was the final blow, and victory or defeat depended on this move.
With a soft ding, the sound wave made a piercing and sharp sound and rushed towards Amos, who snorted coldly and waved the magic sword in his hand to kill the gods. Seeing the two air currents collide, Amos sighed inwardly, and the sharp air currents canceled out Lindsay's sound waves.
"Ahh Lindsay screamed miserably, and the magic qin came out of his hand, and the qin fell to the ground, and the purple light disappeared in a flash. And Lindsay was injured by Amos's sword aura, and the armor on her body was shattered. A mouthful of blood spurted out of Lindsay's mouth, and Lindsay looked up, Amos was already in front of him, and the demon sword in his hand was also cut down.
"Lindsey !!" Ithis didn't have time to save people, they had already retreated to the rear. I can only watch all this in front of me......
Is this her limit...... In the face of death, Lindsay had no fear. With all her internal strength lost, she can only wait like a lamb to the slaughter...... Poof, everyone exclaimed. A stream of heat poured over Lindsay's body and face.
The pungent smell of blood, but there was no pain in the body. Lindsay opened her eyes, and she gasped, "Dick!! ”
Yes, it's Dick. He used his body to block the middle of the two men, blocking the fatal blow for Lindsay. Dick collapsed weakly in Lindsay's arms, and he opened his eyes with difficulty, trying to see if the woman he loved was okay and whether he was protecting her properly.
Dick...... You bastard!! Why did you run to the battlefield!! You!!!! Looking at the smile on Dick's lips, the figure of Fasel came to mind. That day was like now, to protect her......
"Tut-tut~~~ It's so touching~~~ It's a pity, you still have to die!!"
