The beam of thought qi hit straight ahead, and the fog and rain blocking the road were instantly evaporated, revealing a pale white trail. At this time, the princess was settling Unomon's body, while the other eyes were on the dragon shadow in the sky.

The blow was lightning fast and thunderous, and it seemed that it was impossible to avoid it.

But at the last moment, there was a rattan wall that had been expected to rise suddenly from in front of the emperor's chariot, and the vines on this rattan wall were stout, and there was still a layer of visible thoughts on it.

Long Lan slammed into this vine wall, breaking through the Nian Qi layer in the blink of an eye, and breaking through the vine in a very short time, but its power had been blocked by seven or eight out of ten, and it was hindered for a moment.

With this instantaneous effort, Jiang Ling pushed Luo Ling away, hugged the princess, and dodged this dragon Lan through the sun.

"I've been on guard for you for a long time!" Jiang Ling knew that this person who was secretly staring at the princess would definitely look for an opportunity to make a move, so he had always been vigilant, just when everyone was distracted, but it was also when Jiang Ling was the most careful.

Sure enough, he guessed it and successfully prevented this attack.

Jiang Ling had already determined the approximate location of the person, and Jiang Ling was originally unwilling to give up, wanting to find out this guy lurking in the dark, otherwise he would always be like a knife hanging on his neck, and he would not be able to live in peace.

But now that the dragon seemed to have the intention of descending, Jiang Ling did not dare to leave the princess, so he could only urge the team to retreat quickly.

But even if there were several horses pulling the horse, it was not as fast as the dragon, and as soon as the dragon's wings shook, a hurricane fell from above, and the soldiers around the emperor suddenly staggered, and some even rolled out several meters away.

Although the horses pulling the cart were excellent war horses, how could they withstand the pressure of the dragon, and suddenly they neighed and couldn't move anymore.

Moreover, this frantic hurricane blew away all the fog around it, and the rain also scattered in all directions, so that the vision was finally clear.

The people around also saw the huge body in the sky.

The waving wings covered the sky and the sun, the sharp claws shone with cold light, and the whole body was covered with fine scales with a blue-green sheen, as if it was harder than steel. It was indeed a majestic dragon, and the mere mere sight of it made people tremble.

"Oops!" Jiang Ling was suddenly shocked, at this time, the national teacher was defeated, this giant dragon descended, who could be the enemy?

The dragon fell, and landed in front of the emperor's chariot, and the dragon's feet stomped on the ground, and there was a roar.

The soldiers around him were all shocked, only to feel that their legs were weak and they were unsteady on their feet.

Even Jiang Ling felt as if he was facing a mountain, and he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

Regardless of the danger, Tadon and Cles stood in front of the princess.

The pair of dragon eyes were as bright as stars, and they looked at everyone indifferently. The dragon's head slowly lowered, revealing the person sitting on its back.

"Princess, it's an honor to meet you." The old general, with frost-white sideburns, spoke calmly, his face solemn, and he introduced very politely: "I am the former First Templar of Rosen, Elder Gulaton. ”

Luo Ling took out an umbrella, he stood behind the princess to hold the umbrella for her, and when he heard the other party report his name, Luo Ling felt a little unfamiliar, but Yasna was familiar with the name.

She took a deep breath and spoke, "It's an honor to meet you, Lord Knight. After a brief hesitation, Yasna continued: "Our army has lost this battle, I wonder if you can let us withdraw?" ”

"You have gathered so many troops to attack the city of Aran, and now that you have been defeated, do you still want to retreat safely?" Guraton's voice was flat, but still with an unmistakable deterrence, and he continued: "I am not killing innocent people indiscriminately, but there is no mercy on the battlefield. ”

Yasna was silent for a moment when she heard this, and then said, "Is the knight master going to kill them all?" ”

"The coalition army is mighty and more than 100,000, and it is impossible to kill them all in one battle." Guraton sighed: "Originally, I, a recluse, no longer want to pay attention to the worldly affairs, even if you, Verlo, recover all the northern territories, I can sit idly by. But your ambitions are inflated, and you have to attack Aran City, and according to the agreement with the former emperor, I have to take action to curb it. Fifty years ago, I conveyed this agreement to the principals of several countries, and I don't know if they forgot to say it, or if you didn't heed the admonitions of your elders, or... Didn't take me seriously at all. ”

"Audene senior once admonished, but..."Yasna thought about it, but still did not say anything about Emperor Ion's and his brother's insistence on attacking Aran City, but bowed her head slightly and said, "We were impulsive, and we really don't know about your agreement with Emperor Rosen. We have already paid the price in this battle, and I am willing to do everything in my power to restrain the coalition forces from attacking Aram again. ”

"I know that you are an upright person, princess, and you must be willing to keep your promise." Saying this, Guraton shook his head and said, "But can you really restrain the coalition forces?" If you could really control the military power, I don't think there would be a war today. ”

"I..." Yasna was speechless for a moment, she thought for a moment, and asked: "Our army is about to withdraw to its position, you did not stop it, but came here to talk to me, I don't know what the knight lord wants?" ”

"I want an assurance, that the Velo Remnant will not pose a threat to my Rosen roots." Guraton spoke calmly, and there was clearly something else in his words.

Yasna didn't understand, and she asked, "If you don't believe that I can restrain the army, why do you need me to make a guarantee?" ”

Jiang Ling also had the same doubts as Yasna, but then his face changed, and he thought of a bad answer.

"What I want is the guarantee that the Emperor of Nyon will not dare to covet my Rosen territory from now on, so I killed the Commander of Neoan. Next assurance, I want Willow's future to not continue to be strong, because you fanatical guys are really tricky when you go crazy. So—" Guraton raised his hand and said, "I'm going to keep the princess's head." ”

Yasna's face suddenly turned pale, unable to take a step back, and Luo Ling hurriedly grabbed her shoulders.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang Ling suddenly shouted on the side: "Is the knight elder misunderstood, at this time, the commander of Vero is the prince Yarod, not the princess Yasna. ”

"I always have to keep one of the prince and princess, after all, if the royal blood is cut off, the Velo clan will definitely fall into madness." Guraton shook his head with a smile: "I know what kind of virtue Prince Yalord is, and the future of Vero is not on him." Let him go, and I don't have to worry about anything. And if you let go of the princess and let you go back to be the queen of Willow, then the northern land may be stable for a long time, but Lawson will only live in worry. ”

"After all, a wild dog that barks incessantly is only noisy. And a male lion who is sleeping soundly, once he opens his eyes, knows what kind of disaster it will be that day. ”

At this time, Guraton's smile was very flat, as if the old man next door was talking about something common, but in Jiang Ling's eyes, it was so terrifying, and it even made you feel a sense of oppression that was difficult to refute.

His calmness is not because he is amiable, but because of his absolute confidence in his own strength, and his absolute incompromise.

Although judging from the current situation, the prince is ambitious and advocates invasion, and the princess is benevolent and kind, and it is easier to negotiate peace, it stands to reason that Rosen should prefer the princess to lead Willow, but Guraton doesn't think so, he sees further.

Leave a strong prince to lead Vero, even if the prince refuses to be stable, but Verlo has been suppressed for fifty years after all, and no matter how brave the Vero people are, the population and military level cannot compete with Rosen. Although the Nians are willing to help Rosen, it is only a deal, knowing that there are no permanent allies in this world, only eternal interests. After this battle, the Nyan division was killed, and the army suffered heavy losses, presumably they would no longer have the courage to continue attacking Rosen, and what they had to do now was to start sharing the fruits of victory with Willow.

What will this prince do then? It's just a barking wild dog, which can be captured in a fight, and there is no need to take it to heart.

But if the princess is allowed to stay as Queen of Verlo, the north will be quiet for more than ten years or even longer, but this quietness means that the brave beast that once dominated the north will regrow sharp fangs and sharpen its claws to become more majestic in recuperation.

Guraton didn't want to see that happen, so he wanted Yasna to die here.

Yasna also understood what Guraton meant, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she said in as calm a tone as possible, "As long as I die, will you let the soldiers go?" ”

"That's right, the Nian National Division is dead, the coalition soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, as long as you die again, the coalition army will only be left with scattered sand, and I, Lawson, will have a piece of stability." Guraton said with some respect: "I admire you, so you must die, this is a regrettable thing." ”

"Very well—" The princess pondered for a moment, and made her choice.

She didn't seem to have a choice, but it was exactly what she had in mind.

Killing her alone, in exchange for the lives of thousands of Vero people, was what she had to do as a princess—at least that's what she thought.

Yasna's face was calm, and she was about to step down from the imperial chariot.

"Princess!" Kles shouted, and his burly body stood in front of the emperor.

"Princess, don't listen to him, Vero can't live without you!" Ta Dong also hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him.

Yasna shook her head and said: "This is the only way, you are not his opponent, don't be impulsive, retreat, and assist my brother well in the future." But Yasna glanced at Unomun's corpse again, sighed, and said, "If you don't want to assist him, it's better to quit the army." Remember to help me bring Unomon back to his hometown for burial. ”

"Princess, don't!" A captain of the personal guard team came to his senses, regardless of the coercion of the dragon in front of him, he also ran to the front, and knelt directly in front of the emperor: "We are all the people of Vero, and we are only willing to fight to the death to protect the princess, how can we watch the princess die for us!" ”

The rest of the guards also rushed over, blocking between the princess and the dragon.

"You—" Yasna looked at the soldiers in front of her, choked up for a moment, she took a deep breath, and said, "Don't do this, get out of the way." ”

The rain fell and fell on Jiang Ling's cheeks, and he stared at the veteran on the giant dragon and slowly clenched his fists.

Can you fight?

I can't fight, there is too much difference in strength.

Can that be stopped?

Seem... There is no chance either.

So just watch the princess die? But how could Jiang Ling be willing?

There is one person who is more unwilling than Jiang Ling, even more unwilling than Wei Luo's soldiers, and he is Luo Ling.

Luo Ling held the umbrella in one hand, and the surface of the umbrella was completely tilted towards Yasna, so that he himself was drenched in a large patch of his back. The boy, who was not yet twenty years old, had a stiff face, and it seemed that he had never thought about how to deal with such a scene.

He reached out and grabbed Yasna's wrist.

"You can't die." He said this with a trembling voice.

Yasna glanced at him guiltily, returned some of the umbrellas, and comforted, "I'm sorry Luo Ling, this is my only choice. I'm so happy to know you, even the most joyful thing in my life. But... I'm sorry, we're saying goodbye. ”

"No, you can't die!" Luo Ling repeated it again, his tone was very stiff, but it was also very firm.

"You don't want that." Yasna's eyes were moist, she touched Luo Ling's cheek, and said, "Thank you for everything you have done for me, but now is not the time to be willful..."

"Princess, I can't wait long." Guraton lost his patience, and he said, "I'm sorry, let's stop here, the idlers wait to retreat quickly, otherwise... None will be left behind. ”

After he said this, the giant dragon slowly raised its head, and a pair of cold and murderous dragon eyes looked ahead.

A whirlwind began to whirl around it, and the rain around it was pulled into threads, cutting the mist into countless parts.

But the Willow soldiers didn't move.

Luo Ling stubbornly pulled Yasna behind him.

The young man's chest rose and fell, and he gritted his teeth and said: "My father once told me that no matter what is in front of you, you must also protect your beloved woman firmly behind you!" ”
