Chapter 16: The Blood Moon

The night is quiet here.

Five hundred knights of light in silver armor stood on top of their horses, all of them straight and straight, like the three-meter spears in their hands.

As the most powerful class of troops on this continent, the mounts of the Knights of Light are naturally extraordinary, and the war horses under their crotch are all two-meter-tall Odin iron-blooded war horses, which grow in the birthplace of the empire - the Odin Plains.

The first king of the Arkor Empire once relied on these iron-blooded horses to gallop across the battlefield and slaughter all sides.

At this time, five hundred cavalry and five hundred war horses stood solemnly and silently, as if they were still.

It's like the tranquility of their ancestors two hundred years ago before their final general assault on the banks of the Seine.

Pique felt the strange atmosphere in front of him, and finally realized that he had been swept into a terrifying situation.

Agareth came out of the hut and stopped in the courtyard, looking at the golden chariot standing outside the courtyard, and the white parrot standing on his shoulder, looking curiously.

The two servants beside the giant chariot lifted the curtain, and the old man in the fancy dress did not come out this time, and sat there motionless.

"With a Blood Moon, a new world will open up, and it's time for you to fulfill your promise. At the beginning, it was the old man in Chinese costume who broke the silence of the venue first.

Hearing this, Agareth smiled and said, "Great Your Majesty, you have misremembered the day. ”

His Majesty...... His Majesty Joseph Peake was shocked when he heard this, and the old man in the fancy clothes in front of him turned out to be the king of the Arkel Empire - Joseph Arkle!

Peake suddenly understood.

No wonder he had five hundred knights of light to follow, no wonder he called the old man in front of the door before, and the guard was about to cut him with a knife, it turned out that he was the king!

What do they mean by blood moon?

Peake couldn't help but look at the moon in the sky, and a strange feeling rushed into his brain, only to see that the moon in the sky didn't know when it turned into a blood-like color!

What's going on?

The red moon like a scimitar was also reflected in Orr's eyes, and his reaction was even more exaggerated, only to see him trembling all over, his fists clenched, his lips slightly open, and his green pupils contracted sharply, at this moment, no one noticed Orr's abnormality, only the big black foot raised his hooves slightly restlessly.

The old man in Huafu narrowed his eyes when he heard this, was silent for a long time, and said: "Perhaps, you are lying to me, the astrologers of the empire predicted that today is the moment when the blood moon opens. ”

"I'm not going to lie to you. Hunter Agareth smiled, "I have my faith too. ”

"Agareth, are you kidding me again? You have betrayed your faith!

"Your Majesty, the Holy Tower has always been there, it's just a different place!"

"You lie, who can remove the thousand-meter-high Holy Tower, except for the gods! And you, the one who was abandoned by the gods, have become a heretic who can only appear in the night!"

"I'm sorry to keep Your Majesty here for a whole day, but that's not a reason for you to be angry, you're angry because you're afraid, because you're old, even if it's a day, you can't wait. Agareth's voice was distant and deep, as if he was saying something insignificant.

His parrot was not idle, and cried out from his shoulder: "Very old, very old, very old!"

As if poking at the old man's pain, the old man in the costume habitually narrowed his eyes, and a sense of non-anger and self-authority spread.

"So, today you don't plan to fulfill your promise. ”

"I promised you that I would give you what you want when the blood moon is full, but you are still too anxious when you see that high in the sky, the blood moon is only revealed!

It's not that I've broken my promise, when the next blood moon appears, it may be a full moon, so don't worry, Your Majesty. ”

"Blood Moon! Blood Moon! I've been waiting for ten years!" said Joseph Arker to his feet and roar like a lion. "I've been waiting for the Blood Moon, how long do you want me to wait!"

With that roar, the sword thundered and resounded across the plain!

The five hundred Knights of Light had already lined up in several rows, neatly across the wooden house, and it only took them one breath to push everything in front of them into powder!

In an instant, an invisible murderous aura enveloped the hunter's courtyard.

At this moment, Pique only felt that his calves were weak, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell to the ground fiercely, and the pain of the abrasions on his hands kept him awake for the last time.

"Finally name a time. Joseph Arkel said in a deep voice. "If I'm not satisfied, I can't guarantee that I can make any crazy moves. ”

In the face of such a battle, Agareth was not affected in any way, and his tone was still so soothing and composed: "I guess five years, three years, or a year, this is not certain, of course, if the gods want, he can paint the moon red tomorrow, think about the last time there was a full moon was a thousand years ago! Time has passed so long, I can't remember it for a long time......"

Joseph Arker raised his hand, and in an instant, the five hundred knights of light took a step forward on their horses.

"I'll give you one last chance!" the king glared, and five hundred knights were ready to go. "Say what I want to hear!"

"Boy chopping wood, run away on your donkey, run north, oh yes, share a little secret with you, she loves peace and doesn't like violence, you don't want to learn from these barbarians outside, she will be in peace town in three days. Ignoring the angry king, Agareth casually instructed Pique. "Child, you have to remember that she likes gold, loves peace, does not like violence, and ...... after three days"

Likes gold, loves peace, doesn't like violence, and will appear in the town of peace in three days...... Pique remembered it firmly.

"You're me off. King Joseph found himself being ignored and once again rang out with a hoarse roar like a lion-king. "Without you I could have found that damn race and got what I wanted!"

"Blue-eyed run, blue-eyed run!" the parrot howled.

......

Pique was stunned, he never imagined that one day he would face the charge of the Knight of Light!

In the distance, he heard a group of cavalry chasing after him, he didn't dare to turn back at all, he could only judge by the voice, there were at least ten knights of light!

Pique's head went blank, he didn't know how he had climbed onto the back of Big Black Feet, and he didn't understand what was going on today.

All he knew was that the only thing he had to do now was to follow Agares's instructions and flee north.

Everything is dizzy.

Big Black Foot rode Pique to the north, the wind howling in his ears, and the sound of horses trampling the earth behind him was heard.

Big Blackfoot has never run as fast as he does today!

As they fled into the primeval forests of the north, the sound of horses' hooves behind them seemed to be a little quieter.

He had been cutting trees at the edge of the forest with Big Blackfoot, and knowing that there were several deep paths, Big Blackfoot cleverly chose the most hidden path and ran for his life.

Did you finally escape?, Peake exhaled a breath that tightened in his throat.

Agareth!

No!

At this time, Pique realized what was going on, the hunter with a kind face, the hunter who went out early and returned late every day, the hunter who read at night every day, and the hunter's assistant Orr who liked to lie on the grass in a daze, he remembered, and when he finally ran away, it was Orr who pulled him to the back of Big Blackfoot, and he ......

The Knights of Light had charged, and they must have ......

Why did the king and the knights of light go after them, are they bad guys?

Pique's first thought actually came to the idea that the two of them were wanted criminals on the mainland, after all, the Knight of Light was the embodiment of justice, and it was impossible for him to do evil things.

But Orr is so simple, how is it possible?

And why did they run away, why did they chase and kill, there must be some misunderstanding here.

He couldn't figure out why all this was going on.

The sound of horses' hooves behind him finally died down, and he knew he was still alive.

The breath of death fades away.

Have you already escaped?

On the mainland, it is a well-established fact that a donkey can't outrun a horse, but under the pursuit of the Knight of Light, he actually escaped on a big black foot!

When this kind of thing is said, no one will believe it, not even Pique himself, everything is like a dream.

He leaned down and stroked the neck of Big Black Foot, patted it and comforted, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

After an hour of running, the mouth of the big black foot was covered with white foam, and finally, with both front knees bent, it sat down on its knees.

......
