Volume 15 The War of Kings!Chapter 34 Judgment
After receiving the order of the eldest son of Emperor Monphais, Knight Noah rushed to the high ground with his knight team, and looked coldly at the three figures walking on foot below by the moonlight.
The horses under his crotch are all high-quality horses bred in a special way by the Knight Alliance, and their endurance, explosiveness and bearing capacity are extremely good, even if they are wrapped in heavy vests, they can last two hourglass hours.
He and the knights around him are all mercenaries of the Easton Empire, and the Knight Alliance recruits suitable young people from the broken lords and nobles every year to teach martial arts and fighting spirit, and then forms elite cavalry teams for various lords and nobles to serve as mercenaries.
Of course, a portion of the wealth you get is paid for the tuition fees, and if you can afford it, you can afford to provide the knights with good equipment and horses.
But that's all there is to the relationship between the Knights and these hired knights.
The real core of the Knight Alliance is the descendants of the Knights Legion formed by the Seven Magi, including some powerful knights who joined later, and the rest of the knights as long as they do not reach the level of being truly recognized by the Alliance, then no one will interfere even if they kill each other on the battlefield.
These knights, who did not join the Friars, had no position and were only in the service of money.
In a sense, the greater the contradiction between the noble lords, the more wealth the knight alliance will get, they yearn for war every day, but they don't want the scale of the war to be beyond their control, after all, on the battlefield, the role of a mage is far greater than a cavalry team, and the attrition of high-end combat power is exactly what they avoid.
Noah is a high-ranking knight, but he rejects an internal invitation from the Knights' Alliance, believing that life on the battlefield is truly for him, rather than living those days of being touted and touted by others.
He raised his hand with a serious expression, and a knight behind him immediately ripped open a magic scroll in his hand, and the light like day suddenly filled the surroundings.
This is the cheapest Illuminati scroll, they have a dozen of them ready for night battles at any time, usually at close range, the enemy's sight will lose the target in an instant, so they will be killed by them, but now, they are just used to illuminate this area, they want to let Monphes, who is watching the battle from behind at the moment, take a good look at their strength, they are proud and have proud capital
Noah and the other two knights slowly galloped out of the queue with a spear in hand, their state was very relaxed, and at the moment it was like a leisurely walk on the grass, and the three horses walked slowly towards the three people in the distance at the same pace.
However, the people on the other side obviously saw this as well, but they did not run away, nor did they make any defensive moves, and still walked towards here.
Noah sneered, he knew that a team of knights had been killed by these people just now, but if he treated himself and his knights as the same as those pure horse soldiers, then he would definitely suffer a big loss
The distance between them slowly narrowed, and it seemed that even each other's faces could be seen clearly.
The person who walked in front was wearing a papal robe, although it was not obvious in detail, but it was obviously not too low, and behind him was a beautiful girl, and behind him was a middle-aged man wearing a magic robe.
Is it a mage?
Noah's expression gradually became solemn, the cooperation of the clergy and the priest has always been a headache, he went to the battlefield in the civil war of the Easton Empire, he had seen the other party's knights bathed in holy light rushing towards him, originally just ordinary knights, but after being blessed, it became extremely difficult to deal with.
However, he is Noah's high-ranking knight, Noah
As long as he raised his horse's hooves and took up his spear, no one had been able to stop his charge so far
A fiery red fighting spirit rose from him, enveloping him and the horses in it.
As the distance got closer, the horses below them began to increase their speed and gradually began to run.
The strange thing is that it is clear that the other party has the existence of a mage, but he did not cast a spell to stop himself, although he has doubts in his heart, but once he starts to charge, unless the opponent falls or he falls, he will never stop.
Feeling the horses under him galloping forward, as if riding on the clouds, suddenly, he let out a loud roar, and the spears in the hands of him and the two knights behind him were flattened at the same time, and the horses' hooves made a dense sound like fried beans, and the speed of the cone-shaped horse team increased again, and in an instant he rushed in front of the three men.
Then he saw a young girl among the three suddenly stand at the front.
The girl stretched out her arms and used her body to meet the rushing galloping horse, and there was a faint excitement and anticipation on her face, as if she was welcoming her lover to embrace her warmly.
Noah couldn't understand the other party's actions at this time, could she be a madman?
But it doesn't matter anymore, anyone who stands in his way of charging will only end up
His eyes instantly became firm.
"Boom"
Noah smashed the girl's body with a horse, but the expected situation of the girl's petite body being smashed to pieces and blood flying everywhere did not appear, not only that, but she didn't even move.
At this time, Noah's feeling was the opposite, he felt like he had hit the hardest metal wall, first the tip of the gun was broken, bent, and then a series of bones shattering sounds, the horse's head was tightly attached to the other party, but at this moment it had been flattened, and the back half of its body was still pushing it under the action of inertia, causing the whole horse to be forced to roll up with Noah, and after rolling in the air, even the people and horses fell heavily to the ground, and made a dull loud noise, and the fighting spirit collapsed, and the blood spurted out of Noah's facial features like an internal explosion, and instantly splashed several meters away。
At this time, he was lying motionless on the ground under the pressure of the horses.
From beginning to end, the expression on the girl's face did not change in the slightest, as if it was not a horse carrying a knight that struck her, but a small insect that flew over.
The nine knights standing in the back stared blankly at this scene, their heads were in chaos, such a scene completely shattered their cognition for more than ten years, subverted, and even doubted that they were not in a dream at the moment.
It's just not over yet, the remaining two knights almost killed the next two people at the same moment as Noah's collision, but before they could make a move, a huge black shadow stopped in front of them, and after the huge impact, the two people and the horses on their bodies collapsed to the ground like mud.
Monphas, who was far away on the high slope, saw this scene very clearly, the two black things seemed to have grown suddenly from the girl's body, and he could not tell what they were up close, but he could see them very clearly from this angle.
It was clearly only two huge wings
She is not human
With a strong body and bat-winged wings, he had vaguely guessed in his heart what this girl was.
His face became extremely ugly, and he immediately turned his horse's head and shouted, "Go, go."
There is no need to explain much, as long as the guards who see this scene know what to do at this time, after all, it is a monster that can not be afraid of the impact of heavy cavalry in the front
A short horn sounded, and hundreds of cavalry besieging the dwarven tribe in the distance methodically withdrew from the battle, and then approached Monphais with a rumbling sound.
It's just that it's too late, a huge dragon roar sounded above, they all raised their heads, and saw a huge figure floating above the sky, the light of the moon was almost completely obscured by it, and a huge coercion covered the sky, and all the horses, including the knights, collapsed to the ground almost at the same moment
Two people appeared in front of Monpheis, and one of them looked down condescendingly, and said lightly, "Who are you?"
Mmphis immediately sensed that although this person's tone was not heavy, it was difficult to hide a long-standing power in it, and with the other party still having a dragon by his side, he had to stand up cautiously and whispered, "I am a knight chief of the Easton Empire. ”
"Oh, although the Easton Empire is very close to here, this is strictly the territory of the Monks, why did you cross the border to attack this tribe?"
Mmphis breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, since the other party was willing to talk well, then he didn't need to be so afraid.
"We in the Easton Empire often fight against the Dwarves and Giants on the border, and many of our comrades died at the hands of the Black Iron Dwarves, so when we heard that a dwarven tribe had migrated here, we decided to take revenge on them. ”
His reasons are very good and convincing, even if the other party asks his subordinates, he is not afraid, because these people are his cronies, and they only obey his orders when they go out to fight, and never ask what the reason is.
The man smiled faintly, he pointed to the mage beside him, and said, "This is the messenger from the Monks' Society......" He turned his head and said to the mage, "You tell the chief knight about the purpose of my coming here." ”
The messenger coughed, and then said very seriously, "This is the Bishop of Landiston of the Holy See, and the vice-president of our Friars...... and then he quietly observed Montphes's expression.
Monphes's expression didn't change, but his fingers were trembling.
The messenger continued: "This tribe of dwarves has come from the Arctic Icefield to submit to our Order, and Bishop Rantiston has come to deal with it......"
Luo Lan's sharp eyes stared at Monfhis, and he said slowly: "You should hear clearly, the dwarven tribe is actually a subordinate of our Monks' Society, should you give me an explanation for slaughtering this tribe and the Monks' Society?"
"But we didn't know it beforehand," Monphes quickly skimmed, "If we had known, we would never have done such a thing." Moreover, we are not members of the Monks' Society, and even if we do, it should be the Easton Empire to deal with you. ”
Luo Lan showed a strange smile and said, "Very good, I will negotiate with your empire." ”
Meng Feis's heart was relieved, as long as he returned to the empire, then everything would be much simpler, but then he heard the other party say again: "I know Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Dulanweier, I will leave this matter to her, I believe she will give me a satisfactory answer."
"I'm afraid you're mistaken. Monphais's heart was beating wildly, and he forcibly endured the panic in his heart, and said, "We are the subordinates of the emperor's eldest son, Monpheis......"
Luo Lan smiled and said, "Does this have anything to do with me? Anyway, in my eyes, you people from the Easton Empire, since you are the eldest son of the emperor, it must be more fair to hand it over to the eldest daughter of the emperor, right?"
"Lord Bishop, I'm afraid you don't know that there is some discord between the eldest son of the emperor and the eldest princess, and I am willing to redeem ourselves with money. "And compensate the Monks for their losses, what do you think?" Although it was well known that the Easton Empire was in a state of civil war, he instinctively did not want to say it for the sake of the Empire's dignity.
......
Is this a step back in time?
Abner quietly watched the video of the scroll being released, which recorded a scene in which he led "Jonathan" to the inside of the Mage Tower.
But then it didn't happen, and it was only a short time, but it still made some people smell something special.
Abner immediately understood what the other man meant.
If he can't get the drawings, then the other party can use this means to say that he has colluded with "Jonathan" and is a traitor of the Mage Society, and maybe he will accuse him of being an accomplice to killing his mentor, but if he can come up with the drawings, it means that he is still loyal to the Mage Society, and there is no problem, and the certainty of this is all in his own choice, or in the thoughts of President Bivis.
Abner was lost in thought, he had not seen any drawings, but he also believed what Bivis said, and if there was such an important thing, the mentor would never have made any arrangements.
But where is it?
He thought carefully about the hidden places he once remembered, and then shook his head again, those places only had a few simple magic traps, since the mage would even use time rewind, he must have carefully checked the places where Adriman once lived, and those places had already been turned out, and there was no need to come back to him at all.
As for what can't open the magic trap, it's even more impossible, even if he opens the magic tower before the mentor's death, no one will enter it, so there is no need to set up those things.
He recalled some details, and finally his body trembled slightly, as if he had thought of something.
Why did the guru send him away with exile?
According to the general logic, as long as you send yourself to the mage tower of other mages, or the headquarters of the mage guild, it is simply a matter of raising your hand, but you choose this soul magic, does the mentor think that you will also suffer some danger within the mage guild, or does it mean that everyone will not find your whereabouts?
He stood up abruptly and walked back and forth in the tent a few times, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this inference was close to the real situation, and that the mentor must have sent something away with him, but he was afraid that these things would fall into the hands of others, so he cast a magic that could not be traced to the clues.
In the teacher's speculation, as long as he sees that thing, he will definitely collect it carefully, so that he is the only one who knows the whereabouts of the drawings when he comes back, and the initiative will always be in his hands.
If that blueprint really exists, then it must have been lost on Elven Island, and he had been in a coma during that time, whether he was taken to Lenfinaya by the elven girl Irina, but whether it was left somewhere or taken by the elves He is not sure, after all, the elves are very familiar with things like magic blueprints.
According to Bivis, this drawing is extremely important, so it is obvious that the elves cannot fail to see the value in it......
Could it really be that they took it?
Deep doubts rose in Abner's heart.
Do you want to find a breakthrough from Irina? Remember that she had stayed in the city before the expedition, and he had entrusted an elder to take care of her.
He could see that Erina really didn't understand any scheming and human sophistication, and everything was shown on his face, but the elf man he had met gave him a completely different feeling, if he had to look for it, it was that he could see the same temperament in some scheming politicians.
In this way, things are much more complicated.
It is not convenient for him to inform the Mage Council about this, whether the other party believes it or not, he will put himself in a passive position.
But he believes that there must be a lot of eyes around him at this moment, and if he can get the drawings by special means, he believes that they will do it without hesitation, will it bring her unnecessary danger to go to Erina by himself?
Wait a minute......
It occurred to him that since he had returned with Irena, the Mage Guild would also think that the place where he had been banished was on Elven Island, and perhaps they had decided that the blueprint had been stored on the island, so they had come to force themselves to comply, because the Mage Guild was not capable of going to the island to get anything, and they had to rely on themselves
The thought made him feel like he had touched the true intentions of the higher-ups of the Mage Guild, and since that was the case, they would definitely not stop him if he approached Erina immediately, and he would probably think that he had already thought it through.
In that case, then let the top management continue to misunderstand first, at least he still has some time.
But no matter what, he had to find a suitable excuse to go back to Elven Island once, and he couldn't be alone, because if the previous inference was true, it was likely that he would face a more complicated situation.
After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly thought that Irena had vaguely talked to him about what kind of prophecy for ten thousand years, looking for allies and so on, and the questions asked by the male elf were mostly related to the Holy See, when he was in a hurry to return to the Monks' Order, so he didn't pay much attention to it, now think about it, could it be that the elves will encounter some crisis, so they came to the mainland to find allies?
If so, then Bethlehem, which is closest to them, is probably the best choice for them.
A smile appeared on Abner's lips, if that was the case, then he could use the role of Bishop of Lantiston to return to Remfinaya as a friend of Bishop Lantiston again
However, he will not be alone.
As long as he can get the drawings back, even if it is to cooperate with thieves, he will not hesitate to do so
