Chapter Seventy-Five: The Throne of Thorns
Watching the neat cavalry around him leave Nora City, Renault's eyes flashed with a hint of fanaticism, the number of evil beasts attacking was getting lower and lower, and he couldn't wait to return to Byron with the Western Legion, but the damned cardinal repeatedly used his authority to stop him.
Until now, the beast had not appeared for a long time, and he couldn't wait any longer, so he brazenly used his status as the crown prince and commander of the Western Legion to order the legion to retreat, leaving the cardinal and his heretical army behind Nora.
The cardinal also seems to think that the beast has completely retreated, and did not prevent Renault from leaving, but he himself does not plan to leave, but remains in Nora City with the Inquisitor.
Riding a horse and walking side by side with Renault, the cardinal bowed slightly to him, "Your Royal Highness, I wish you a triumphant journey." ”
"Humph!"
With a muffled snort, Renault rode his horse away along the mighty cavalry without looking back.
He knew that the purpose of his hurried return to Byron had already been guessed by many people, but it didn't matter, the fact that he and Freya had torn their faces was already known, and the conflict between the two of them would break out sooner or later;
After two months of training, Renaud felt that he was much stronger, not only physically, but also mentally, and at some point, he was surprised to find that he could go three or four days without sleep and without feeling a trace of sleepiness, and his arms had become quite thick and could even deform steel.
He feels like he's in the best shape he's in at the top, and no obstacle can stop him.
Feeling a slight burning sensation coming from his body, his eyes gradually cleared, this was a sign that the flame tattoo was spreading on his body, since the fire tattoo on his hands appeared, this strange pattern seemed to grow, and began to spread towards his body, and by now, the flames had covered his arms and spread to his chest.
He knew that his change might have been caused by this thing, and although he didn't feel any discomfort now, he vaguely felt that it was not a good thing.
However, he did not reject it, because he still needed this power for the time being.
"Speed up the march and go into the hinterland of Aura and rest!" shouted to the herald, and Renault galloped on horseback.
Spring in the south of Aura came early, and the ice in Icefield City began to melt, and the south was already full of spring flowers.
In the beautiful spring light, the hillside in front of you has been covered by a sea of flowers and green grass, and there is no trace of winter.
"Bang"
With a loud gunshot, a rabbit poked its head out from a great distance and fell to the ground.
"Carly, it's me winning again. Freya put the gun down, smiling.
Carly relaxed her bowstring, the arrow on it had not yet been fired, "Your Highness, comparing a gun with a bow and arrow is a bit of a trick. ”
"Hehehe," Freya chuckled, "I knew I would have asked Lafado for two, or I would have won every time." ”
"I'm afraid two is not enough. Carly reminded.
Freya blinked, "Two more Rafa wouldn't be a pleasure." ”
"Why don't you let me ......," Carly stepped forward slightly.
"No," Freya took out a bullet and looked at it, "we don't need to absorb the power of Icefield City now, and we just need to destroy the church, even if we fail, we can all go to Icefield City to retire." ”
As she spoke, she lay down on a chaise longue under a parasol, stretching her waist, and the grandeur of her chest almost broke out of her clothes.
"Jin Yu has sent news that Renault has led his army out of Nora, and looking at his menacing appearance, it seems that he is going to be against us. Carly said again.
"Did the Inquisitors come back?"
"No, the cardinal stayed in Nora with a group of congregants and the Inquisition, saying that he wanted to make Nora a holy city. ”
"Holy City?" said Freya, stretching her white feet out of her parasol, the warm sun making her comfortable, "These old foxes, fearing that they would be affected by the infighting of the royal family, have all fled, and this will disrupt my plan to hunt them all down." ”
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
"Alas, Renault's idiot, he doesn't even know what the real crisis of Ola is right now," Freya playfully stuck out her tongue, "I don't know either, but the wave of evil beasts that has appeared this winter has shown that there is a real crisis, but it's ridiculous that he is now preoccupied with that empty throne." ”
After thinking for a while, she said, "Then let's fight, it doesn't matter if we lose, we just need to take the opportunity to pull out Byron's church, and as for the fish that slipped through the net in Nora City, leave it to Rafa to clean up." ”
"Understood. ”
The calm Renault obviously would not do the stupid thing of attacking the Eastern Army with the Western Army, because he had long regarded the Eastern Army as his own, and he did not want to lose his future strength.
Moreover, he suspected that Freya was a witch, and the idea of trying to win by numbers did not necessarily work, as evidenced by Freya's defeat of 100,000 orcs and almost no loss of men and horses during Freya's crusade.
Therefore, when he approached the city of Byron, he ordered his army to be stationed in the city of Silverlight, which was closest to Byron, and he himself led a group of men and horses to Byron.
Byron, the royal capital of Ola, is still as bustling as ever, and even at night, the wide, clean roads are still bustling with activity.
Sneaking into the city, Renault led his men straight to the palace, and after a period of experience at the border, he was not only more courageous, but also more daring.
He knew that the only way to defeat Freya now was to become Emperor, and ordered Freya to cut herself, and if she refused, he could use all his strength to defeat her.
But now his emperor Lao Tzu is alive and well, if he doesn't do something extraordinary, the throne may be stolen by the witch Freya!
When he arrived at the palace, he revealed his identity as the eldest prince, left the guards, and entered the palace alone, strangely enough, the officials guarding the city did not let him take out the knight's sword.
As he followed the guidance of the guards to the garden where the emperor was, he heard a chuckle coming from the flowers in the distance.
Hearing this voice, he couldn't help but clench his fists, and the green tendons on his forehead bulged, "Freya!"
Turning a huge blood-red flower, the Emperor of the Aura Empire, your, and his second daughter, Freya, were each trimming a one-man tall furball.
"Brother Huang. Seeing Renault come in, Freya greeted with a smile, and it was hard to believe that she was the commander who led the Eastern Legion to defeat the orcs.
Renault did not agree, but shouted in his heart, "Hypocritical witch!"
"Father. ”
Renault didn't look at Freya, walked over to your, and got down on one knee.
"Uh-huh......" your replied like a dream, without looking back.
"Father, all the heretics outside Nora have been exterminated, and the attacking beasts have been repulsed. He began to report on his achievements.
"Hmm......" your continued trimming the hairball with the scissors, still not looking back.
"You ......" Renault couldn't believe that he was doing a good job, why did this old man only give himself such a response, could it be that he had already decided to make Freya emperor? But now that the matter is not clear, he is not in a hurry to get angry, and continues to pretend to be angry in a low voice and asks, "Father, now is the time for you to announce your decision, right?"
"Hmmm......"
"Father?" Renault looked up slightly as if something was wrong with your.
"Hmmm......"
Renault frowned and stood up, moved slightly closer to your, and stretched out his hand and pressed it on your's shoulder, "Father?"
"Hmmm......"
This time it wasn't only your who answered him, but Freya on the side.
"You guys!?"
Renault was startled and took a step back.
"Hehehe, Brother Huang, it seems that you have indeed become a lot bolder, and you have not been scared away. ”
As she spoke, Freya turned her head, and your turned her head too, and the movements of the two were exactly the same.
"I knew you were a witch!"
Renaud immediately drew his sword and pointed it at Freya.
"Oh, you're scared of the royal sister. ”
Freya pretended to be afraid to touch her chest, and the Emperor Uhl on the side began to cover her chest in her way.
The corners of Renault's eyes twitched, the emperor of the Aura Empire, his father, made such a strange move, which reminded him of the puppet show he had seen when he was a child, and the puppet danced when the person pulling the thread pulled the silk thread.
"You witch!"
Renault couldn't contain his anger anymore and stabbed at Freya.
Freya smiled slightly, Emperor
A dodge appeared in front of her, as if coming to block the sword.
"Get out of here!"
Renault didn't want to kill the emperor directly, so he turned the slash into a slap and slapped the blade of his sword on your, slapping him away.
Your fell to the ground like a rag bag, his arm bent strangely, apparently broken.
"Ahh
Freya retracted her smile, covered her rosy lips, let out a contrived scream, and ran out of the garden, while your on the ground struggled violently, screaming and following after Freya.
"Enchantress!"
Renaud knew that he still had the Broken Demon Stone on his body, so now was the best time to kill Freya the witch, so without thinking about it, he jumped up violently, broke through the dense canopy, and landed in front of Freya.
"So fast!" Freya was really taken aback this time, Renault's speed was a little beyond her imagination.
Renault no longer hesitated, the flame tattoo on his body began to heat up, and he suddenly jumped up, and the knight's sword that flashed cold light stabbed straight into her chest.
"You're really annoying. Freya scolded, then turned sideways and covered her chest.
Renault's sword was unexpectedly stopped by an invisible force, not only did it become extremely slow, but its strength also became soft, and Freya easily dodged it.
"Come after me. ”
chuckling again, Freya and your running out again.
"Slut!"
At this moment, Renaud finally made up his mind, he not only wanted to kill Freya, but also ravaged her corpse!
After only a few jumps, he came to Freya again, and seeing the frightened face of the other party, he knew that she should have no way to dodge.
"You and Rafa are damned!"
There was a hint of madness in his eyes, and he slashed sideways, trying to decapitate Freya.
"Poof!"
Hot blood spurted and splashed on his face, and he couldn't help but let out a smug grin.
"The throne is mine! Fili is mine!"
Renault was about to laugh maniacally when a discordant voice came again.
"Oh, Brother Emperor, what have you done?"
Renaud turned abruptly, and Freya, who had been holding her chest for a long time, was looking at him with a smile.
He looked down again, and the head that had rolled off the ground was Freya, and it was clearly his father, the Emperor of Aura, your!
His mind went blank suddenly, his original idea was to force your to pass on to him, but now he killed him with his own hands, he had fantasized about such a thing, but he didn't expect it to happen suddenly.
It all seemed like a dream!
Renault looked up, and the neighborhood suddenly became noisy, and he looked around in horror to find Freya already hiding in the arms of her guardian knight and sobbing, surrounded by knights with spears carefully surrounding him.
"Ahh
Angry, Renault knew that he had fallen into a trap, roared angrily, swung his long sword, cut the spears stabbed by the knights around him in two, jumped up, and cut down several guards who stood in the way to the ground, and ran towards the outside of the palace, looking at his fierce appearance, I am afraid that no one can stop him.
As soon as Renault left, Freya, who was sobbing, immediately stopped, "I really didn't expect him to choose this stupidest way and almost mess up my plan." ”
Knight Carly asked, "What are we going to do next?"
"Of course, it's spreading the news of Renault's murder of his father and king," Freya laughed, "Although I already plan to give him the throne, can he really sit down on this throne full of thorns?"
"Your Highness, you ...... Why give up the throne? After taking the throne, our struggle against the church should be much smoother. ”
"There are churches in every city in the Aura Empire, and even if I become emperor, can I sweep them all away?" Freya sighed, "And in Ola, almost everyone is a believer in the church, and even if all the churches are destroyed, the dogma they have left behind already exists, and we can't change anything at all." ”
"Won't the witches ever turn over?" said Carly, a little disappointed.
"Of course!" Freya patted Carly's rifle behind her back, "We need to change the world in another way." 2k reading network
