Chapter 508: The Princess Arrives
The people in the convoy gradually became more harmonious, mainly because everyone often praised Charles for his good meals, and after having this common language, other words began to become more and more numerous.
If it weren't for the fact that he was chased by a large group of wolves and fled in embarrassment when he had just set off early in the morning and had not taken two steps, it would have been a beautiful day.
The Wolf Fear and the Six-Eyed Flying Fish are the only monsters in the world that have their own fear aura effect, and they can terrify the creatures in their vicinity, either being eaten on the spot after their legs go limp, or they run away in terror and are eaten by the Wolf Fear when they are exhausted.
This is now the case with the horses pulled in the convoy, which have been galloping for a long time, and are already a little exhausted by this time.
The carriage sped along the road, and nearly twenty wolves chased after it and among the trees on either side.
The hunters were smart, and the wolves directly behind the convoy were just out of Billy's magical range, and the winged wolves were closing in under the cover of the trees.
As the guard's long-range firepower, Bili unleashed an ice arrow at a dreaded wolf approaching from the side, but the wolf dodged through a tree.
The road in the field was not smooth, the carriage jolted, and Billy couldn't stand on her feet, and just as she was about to fall out of the car, Charles reached out and grabbed her.
Just as Billy was back on her feet, Pietran's voice came from ahead, "There's a bridge ahead, stop those brutes there!"
The wolves also seemed to know that the place was not good for their hunt, and after a wolf roar, the wolves on both wings began to outflank the middle.
Just as Pietran's chariot was driving onto the stone bridge, a dreaded wolf burst out of the woods on the side, ready to pounce on the penultimate carriage.
Charles's right hand flicked up like lightning, and a throwing knife was plunged into the wolf's body, and the wolf suddenly inflated like an inflated balloon, and its internal organs erupted from both ends.
On the other side, Billy's ice arrow pierced the hind leg of a dreaded wolf that lunged at their carriage.
Just as the last carriage was driving up the stone bridge, Charles suddenly jumped forward from the roof of the car and stood firmly in the middle of the bridge.
This is a stone arch bridge that is a bit old, the bridge is four or five meters wide, ten meters long, and the river is quite high from the bridge deck.
When Charles landed on the bridge, the big knife that had been in the box on his back was already in his hand.
A flash of silver light flashed, and the first wolf to pounce was slashed upside down by a broadsword after Charles blocked its claws with the arm shield on his left hand, and the wolf fell to the ground in two.
The wolves who arrived were not frightened, and three fearful wolves pounced on Charles at the same time.
Charles raised his hand with a knife, and the wolf that rushed to the front was split through the middle.
Then he crouched down, and a second wolf swooped down over it, and then he leaped into the sky and stabbed him straight into the air, and then with a flick, he threw the wolf, whose stomach had been cut open, into the river.
The third dreaded wolf was cut in the leg by a wind blade flying from behind Charles, and then slashed to death by Charles.
It was Pietran, who had arrived after they had parked their carriages.
Pietran and Charles stood side by side at the front, and together they blocked the bridge.
Bili and Healy stand on the guardrails on either side, condescendingly attacking from a distance.
Ellie stands behind Charles with a sword, tasked with fixing the leak and protecting Billy.
Although the first wave of wolf fears was repulsed, the situation was not optimistic.
Charles could hear Pietran's breathing heavily, his hands trembling a little, and his expression changed from time to time, obviously suppressing the fear brought by the fear aura of the wolf pack.
At this moment, the sound of the six-stringed piano and Maria's singing came from behind.
Charles was stunned for a moment, and then countless alpacas ran by in his heart.
Because it's a Japanese song, and I've heard it in my previous life.
"Seto の Flower Marriage" is a good work, and it is the song "戦いの Poem" that Maria sang at this time.
Then Charles felt the power of the passionate singing.
Not to mention Charles, Pietran and the others suddenly felt a string in their hearts plucked by the song, the fear of wolves was swept away by the song, and courage gradually filled their hearts.
At this point, the wolves began the next round of attack, but Charles found that the focus of their attack was on Pietran.
Maybe it's because they think Pietran has a lot of meat.
Pietran seemed to notice the situation, and he fired this time.
It was the first time Charles had seen Pietran's fighting style, and he used a freehand spell casting method called "two-handed spellcasting", only to see his hands fly quickly, and then a magic circle quickly formed in the air.
Pietran is dominated by wind and earth magic, with the wind attacking and the earth defensive. Wind blades erupted from his chubby hands, and if the wolf broke through, it would be blocked by the earthen wall.
The occupants quickly got into a rhythm, first with the ranged attacks of Billy and Healy, then with Pitran's Wind Blade within five meters, and finally Charles's broadsword.
Billy and Cealy gained courage and composure from Maria's singing, and the attack that had not been accurate was a good hit in the second round, and Pietran's wind blade became more powerful, and even the wolves that slipped through the net fell under Charles's knife, and the attacking wolves were quickly killed and wounded.
The wolves, having suffered heavy losses, gave up the attack, and it was not their style to die, and at this point, there was only one way to retreat.
Just as the wolves were about to retreat not far away, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind the wolves.
The horses in the charge were fast, and before the wolves could react, the sword fell on their heads.
The first wolf was hacked to death after one of them, and the other wolves immediately scattered and fled.
Charles They breathed a sigh of relief, the other party was wearing half-body armor, with a bull's head coat of arms on the armor, dressed as a royal knight, obviously not a black existence.
Then he noticed that Pietran was obviously stunned for a moment, and then the guy got a comb out of nowhere to comb his hair, and when he was done combing his hair, he began to tidy up his clothes.
Apparently Pietran recognized what the other party was.
I only heard Pietran, who had arranged his clothes, muttering, "It's Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia!"
Then he excitedly explained to Charles, "The four on the other side are from the Kingdom of Mesetta, Princess Sophia, she is a rare beauty. ”
"Not long ago she went to Saarbrücken to visit her grandmother, the queen of our former king of the Saarland Kingdom, and now she must be on her way home. ”
Charles previously had a certain understanding of the geography and politics of the southern countries, the Kingdom of Meseta is located in the west of Salland, is the most southwestern corner of the human race, because of the rich resources of Warcraft and minerals, and this time Pietran's destination is in the territory of the Kingdom of Meseta.
Princess Sophia is about the same age as Charles and is said to be very beautiful.
It's just that the domestic political situation in the Kingdom of Meseta is a bit tense, the current king is about to hang up, and the king's own brother is in the prime of life. Whether this throne is a woman inheriting her father's business or a brother's death, a story has to be staged.
But Charles didn't have much interest in this princess, after all, he had seen a lot of princesses and everything.
When he was a child, he had soaked in hot springs with Princess Rose of the Biberach Kingdom, and Meliti's mother, Princess Ariel of the Triton Kingdom, had helped him heal his injuries, and the princess of the Kingdom of Kuyavia on the demon side planned to take him as a pet and named him "Wangcai", not to mention that in the past year, he has been smoked with a hairdust by Princess Elizabeth of the Elven Court......
Pietran went to greet Princess Sophia's knights, and Charles turned to see if there was anything wrong with the carriages and horses.
At this moment, a luxurious carriage stopped at the bridge, and Pietran was greeting the passengers in the carriage by the door.
Charles and the coachmen checked the carriage and the horses, but fortunately there was no problem with the carriage, and the horses were fine except for the fatigue, but they had to rest for a day.
After inspecting the horses, Charles came to Maria's side and asked curiously, "Sister, can your singing work on the horses?"
As a result, Maria glanced at Charles and said, "One day when you are riding, I will sing a song to the horse, and you will know." ”
At this moment the luxurious carriage crossed the bridge and stopped in front of Charles and Maria.
The car door opened, and a girl holding a beautiful feather fan covering half of her face looked at Maria and asked in surprise, "Your Excellency Maria, why are you here?"
Charles was stunned, staring at the feather fan in the girl's hand.
