Chapter 369: The Far Away Quest VIII
A short spear was thrown like lightning from the hand of the Sand King Barbartan, pierced through the chest of an alchemist, and with a 'tuk' it was nailed to the tree with a spear, and the tail of the spear trembled softly.
The rest of the alchemists turned around and wanted to escape, but most of them also became the souls of Ye Hua's arrows. "Leave a few alive." Fang Yu shouted at this time, but he didn't need to be reminded that the knights of the guards who arrived had already joined the battlefield and captured a group of people.
On the battlefield, the alchemist's side was defeated, and the alchemist's commander took a few steps back and turned around, but a long, narrow blade was already on his neck. He shuddered slightly, looked along the blade, and found that the sword bearer was an indifferent young man, holding a sword in one hand, but wearing an abrupt battle mage outfit.
However, he soon understood why the other party was dressed like this. With a slight stroke of the young man's left hand, he skillfully threw out a bunch of spells, disarming protection, lock-picking, and force field hands, and then the magic furnace on his body automatically disengaged, and flew out with a 'bang', crashing into a piece of sandstone, turning into a pile of scrap metal.
Then the young man said in a faint voice:
"Real food."
The alchemist's commander was confused.
But I also heard that this was not a good thing.
Kita's spells are dissipating, and the desert is turning back into a forest, and the forest is withering at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The battle was soon settled, and the Sand King's Knights of the Guard brought every surviving alchemist to the back except the dead, forcing them to bow their heads and kneel in a row. Most of the previously unbeatable fallen alchemists were trembling at the moment, and their faces turned pale.
Except for the commander of the box captive, he was calmer.
More knights of the guards rushed back.
Luo Hao, who protects Princess Afifa, is also among them.
The little princess ran from a distance, found her father in the crowd, and plunged into her father's arms like a swallow throwing herself into the forest. The King of Sand hugged his little daughter tightly, and at that moment, all his plans and ambitions were lifted from this king like a heavy burden, he was just an ordinary father, and he only hoped that he could take care of his daughter for a long time, and watch over him for a long time.
Until, they get their own happiness.
He gently stroked his daughter's hair with his rough hands, the tears in his eyes had long since dried on the day his lover died, but there was still burning and sincere feelings flowing in his chest, which was heavy and silent love.
After a long time, he let go of his daughter, took her hand, and came to Fang Yuan. The king looked at Fang Yu silently for a while before he spoke: "It seems that Alepf has made a great friend, but at least my vision is still the same as when I was young, thank you, young man ......"
However, Fang Yu was indifferent, a little pampered. Seeing this, Babartan couldn't help but appreciate it even more.
As everyone knows, this guy is just because he used too much force before, and he can't move now. Twelve energy angels, even if it is the one that copies the operation, there are also eleven units, even if the energy angels are considered low-level construction for him, but they are still too much. After all, this is a main battle build, not a scout build like a clockwork goblin-
I didn't feel it when I was concentrating before, but as soon as the tension of the battle passed, my head twitched as if I had pierced an awl. He didn't grin his teeth, he was already very restrained.
Princess Afifa whispered to him at this time:
"Thank you, Captain Ed."
Fang Yu smiled reluctantly: "We are friends, little princess. ”
This sentence made Afifa bite his lip and look at him with some gratitude.
The King of Sand also smiled.
And after the little princess was silent for a while, she blushed again, went to find Luo Yu, and said softly: "Thank you, Luo Yu." ”
Luo Yu hurriedly nodded to the little princess with a little respect, because of the blue sky, he was already afraid of this little princess at the moment.
Soon there was a shout from the crowd: "Miss Afifa has been found!" ”
Fang Yu looked over there.
……
As Luo Hao described earlier, Afifa was taken away by four alchemists.
And since no one escaped in this battle, the Miss Mystic Sorcerer naturally intercepted the Guards Knights as well. Fortunately, those alchemists didn't jump off the wall in a hurry, but that doesn't mean that this mystical girl is in good shape, in fact, it's the opposite-
She's in terrible shape.
When the girl was discovered, she was almost in a coma, her eyes were closed, and her body was frighteningly hot. She gritted her teeth, seemingly unaware of everything around her, and only occasionally let out a muffled grunt of pain.
The little princess looked at the girl with the same name as herself, and was still a little curious. But there was no evil feeling in her heart, but some kind feelings—she had learned the ins and outs of the matter from her sister, and there was only a strange feeling in her heart when she looked at this girl—was this what her mother's girlhood was like?
She reached out to test the other party's body temperature, but hurriedly shrank back:
"It's hot."
Fang Yu also reached out to cover Afifa's forehead, and couldn't help frowning. The other party's body temperature is frighteningly high, as if he is suffering from heat stroke, even if he survives by luck like this, he is afraid that his brain will burn out. He looked back, and the King of Sand was accompanied by the Imperial Doctor, and Babaltan also reacted, summoning the knight to convey the order—
The latter was soon summoned.
It's just that after the diagnosis of these experienced old doctors, they also frowned:
"I'm afraid of the effect of some spell." Someone spoke.
"But there are no such healing conditions in the Phantom Sea."
Then someone suggested: "I have to go back to Questac as soon as possible before I can find a way to treat him." ”
But it will take at least a day and a night to get back to Cuestak from here.
Luo Hao interjected: "Is there no other way?" ”
The imperial doctors shook their heads.
When the King of Sand heard this, he turned to the alchemists kneeling in a row, and took the scimitar from the hands of his squire.
He glanced at these people and said lightly, "Give you a chance to speak." ”
The nearest alchemist, hearing this, collapsed to the ground as if he were shaking chaff. Ten years ago, during the siege of that huge convoy - they did the same with the unarmed women and children, except that at that time they were the sword-wielding side, and now, the hunter became the prey-
But before he could speak, or dare not speak, the king of sand, Babaltan, was already impatient, and his sword fell, and his head rolled down.
He slashed forward one by one, each asking only one question, only one chance, as long as the slightest hesitation, it was a slash. For a moment, the heads were rolling, and the remaining alchemists wanted to struggle, but they were pressed to the ground by the guards knights behind them, and when they were flexibly constructed, they could not survive, but now, they were just like a dead dog.
Most people are so frightened that they can't make their voices, and some people are even incontinent, the so-called dead are nothing more than this in the face of real death, and the stench on the hills is permeated for a while. Fang Yu gently covered Kita's eyes, looking at this scene, he felt in his heart that the King of Sand, Babaltan, was not so much interrogating, but rather venting his anger-
But suddenly it dawned on him that there must be a lot of these alchemists who had participated in the attack ten years ago. This is a hatred that has been brewing for ten years, and instead of abating, it has become deeper - this is a man's revenge for his wife, and he did not order these people to be killed, it is already for the sake of Affa's face.
Kita felt a pair of hands in front of her, and stood silently in place, her heart pounding, but she was also very quiet and motionless.
The King of Sand, Babaltan, walked forward step by step, skipping only one or two people in between, and got three or four fairly useful answers. But it didn't mean much to say it was useful—and finally he held the bloodied scimitar and came to the one who commanded it.
The latter looked up at the king and said nothing.
But the King of Sand did not kill him immediately, but took the initiative to open his mouth for the first time: "For the sake of your face as the mastermind, I can give you one more chance to say a word." ”
After speaking, he did not wait for the other party to answer, and took something from the hand of the attendant next to him. It was nothing more than a silver cube, but in the eyes of the commander, it was enough to make his face change drastically, and the original calm look on his face disappeared without a trace, replaced by a look of horror.
His face changed several times, and finally froze on the pale, he opened his mouth slightly, and almost trembled and squeezed out a few words: "Soul Cube ......"
Fang Yu hadn't heard of this name, but he had seen this cube before, probably in the hands of those secret warlocks, and when he thought of the scene at that time, he also guessed the purpose of this thing in his heart. He looked at the alchemist commander whose face changed wildly, and thought to himself that it was not that he was not afraid of death, but that he was just left with a way out.
And as soon as the road was broken, the original form was revealed.
But Barbartan only looked at each other coldly, as if he were looking at a dead man. "Tell me, how did you end up in this place?"
Princess Afifa explained to Fang Yu on the side:
"The Phantom Sea floats erratically above the desert, and there is no fixed coordinate, even if it is outside the valley, it is difficult to teleport into the valley."
"Even if it's a few meters away, sometimes it's like the end of the world—"
"Even we can only enter this place on foot, and these people can actually teleport in, which is no longer possible with ordinary teleportation spells......"
Fang Yu listened silently on the side, and when he heard that the teleportation could not be reached, a thought suddenly appeared in his heart - the ordinary teleportation spell could not be reached, did it mean that it could be under special circumstances? But if you think about it this way, is it wrong from the beginning, and it is assumed that it is not teleportation?
But while I was thinking about it, there was a new change over there.
The commander's face changed again after listening to Babaltan's question, but he struggled and hesitated for a while, and finally did not speak.
When the Sand King Babaltan looked at him like this, he knew that he had lost the opportunity, and he would not get any useful information if he asked. He turned, handed the knife to the knight beside him, and gave the order lightly: "Take them down and kill them all." ”
As soon as these words came out, those who were lucky enough to survive before immediately fell into a shocked situation. As we all know, the king of the desert does what he says, and if it weren't, they wouldn't easily believe each other's words. But at this moment, the alchemists, who had lost their last hope, immediately wept bitterly and even cursed.
However, Babartan looked at these people without even frowning.
A king, of course, needs to be the talker. But a man with a heart of revenge doesn't need to be so particular. He had made up his mind to kill these people from the beginning, and he would not let any of them go, and besides, after removing the title of King of Sand, he was actually not a king anymore.
It's a pity that Seneman ran away. At that time, he didn't have time to use any Soul Cube for him.
He no longer looked at the ugliness of these people, so he turned around and walked towards Fang Yu and his party:
"These people must have put some kind of spell on Afifa."
"The only way now is to bring her back to Questak."
"Young man, I heard that you have brought a boat," Barbartan looked at Fang Ou, "can I ask you to do me another favor, is the boat well repaired?" ”
Fang Yu thought silently, this was actually the only way he could think of it, the ship was still in good condition when it landed, but it needed to be repaired, with the help of this sand king, maybe he could give it a try. Thinking of this, he nodded.
But he paused for a moment, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, in addition to this matter, I'm afraid we have another trouble. ”
"How?"
Barbartan looked at him with some surprise.
Fang Yu frowned and looked in one direction, and turned around: "Questak may be in danger. ”
"You mean the sand pirates?"
"Seneman was aware of His Majesty's plan early on, and almost let him succeed, and they also have someone on Celestia's side, although they may have already solved this inside line-"
Fang Yu paused: "But Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess has long sensed that the Blind Follower has a connection with the King of Sand Thieves, and it is unlikely that the other party will be indifferent when he knows that Questak's defense is weak. ”
"But you also said it, young man," Babaltan pondered for a moment, then asked rhetorically, "the inner line has been found by you, and in the absence of the inner connection, Rupert should be able to deal with a mere king of sand thieves." As the royal capital of Istania, even if the army is empty, it will never allow a group of rabble to take it. ”
"If it is a frontal attack, it will naturally not be, but how many nobles and princes in the city, Alepf and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess have the same heart, as long as one or two of them have evil intentions, the situation will also be in jeopardy. What's more......"
"What is it?"
"What if someone 'teleports' into Questac?"
"Cuestak has an anti-teleportation maze enchantment—" But Babartan suddenly stuck.
The king's face changed dramatically, and he glanced at the corpses of the alchemists on the hill.
As before, the corpses of these people did not disappear into light, and remained in that place. As for the commander, there was a faint black light on his body, but soon, the silver Rubik's Cube in the hands of the knights disappeared-
Fang Yuan's face was not very good, after all, Sylvid and his party were still in the city, and there were still Alepf and them. He only wished that he was just a guess, and that perhaps the Blind Followers had put all their energy in this direction and would not throw the fallen alchemists into that battle as well.
After all, it's just a bunch of sand thieves, and it doesn't matter if it's dead or alive from the blind god Deska's plan.
But it backfired.
Soon, Luo Hao sent back the news over there.
The fat man from the military walked back from a distance with a gloomy face and a communication crystal. He looked at the crowd first, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "The communication with Questak seems to have been interrupted again...... But it shouldn't be the cause of the previous dust storm, because our communications have not been affected in the slightest......"
But how can the communication be interrupted on the good end?
Obviously, there is only one possibility left.
……
The light of the fire in the sky was reflected in Princess Rupert's eyes.
The maid who had sent back the news was babbling a little pale below:
"Well, it seems that the Chosen ones attacked the South Gate......
“…… Your Royal Highness the Princess, no one thought that they would suddenly join the battle, they appeared from behind the forbidden army, there were hundreds of people, and because they were defenseless, the south gate was lost almost immediately......"
"The sand pirates also took the opportunity to attack ......"
"And, also, and the king of the sand pirates......"
At the words of the King of Sand Thieves, the maid's voice almost trembled.
There was silence in the hall, and the eyes of many courtiers fell on Alyssa and her party, and some of them immediately asked for the Chosen ones in the hall to be invited out, on the grounds that these people were no longer trustworthy.
But Seychelle naturally couldn't agree, but the right minister who presided over the overall situation couldn't go down in person at this time and suppress the other party's opinion. So the two sides were divided into two factions and quarreled in the court, but Alyssa and Tang Xin and their party only watched this scene quietly and had no intention of participating.
Finally, the eldest princess turned around, glanced coldly at the person who had spoken first, and said:
"Tie him up and take him down—"
The prince and minister, who was speaking with a strong voice, was immediately dumbfounded.
But it turns out that the words of the eldest princess are even better here than Alepf. As soon as she finished speaking, the knights immediately stepped out of the ranks, and dragged her down the hall despite the latter's opposition. For a while, everyone in the hall looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Alepf shook his head with a wry smile before he spoke: "Okay, Miss Sylvide, they are our absolute allies, and the people outside will definitely have nothing to do with them. ”
Seychelle glanced at the two of them appreciatively, and then added:
"It hasn't been investigated yet, whether it was the Chosen One who carried out the attack, and they are bound by the Stargate Declaration between us and us, so you should know that-"
Only then did the ministers fall silent.
Still, someone asked, "The sand pirates have invaded the outer city, what should we do now?" ”
"And the inner city," replied the eldest princess softly, and she paused for a moment before adding, "Father, they should return soon, as long as we can hold out until then." ”
But will it really last until that time?
The ministers couldn't help but glance at each other, and no one had a bottom in their hearts.
……
