152. Rescue the knight
It was Rodney's new sword, one that the king had forge the Mithril sword after learning that it had been lost.
As before, the front end was heavier and more streamlined, and its blade ran parallel to the earth, stabbing out of the outer opening circle, from the left side of Hausman's neck to the right, which severed his cervical vertebrae, and instantly lost control of his body from the neck down.
When the sword is drawn, it falls to the ground.
"I'm sorry I'm late, Your Majesty and Princess Felicia." Rodney's voice came from the guards with their backs to the center of the circle.
The circle of doors opened beside the king, and Rodney stepped out of it.
This caused King Charles to look forward to it, but what he didn't expect was that Rodney had his left hand on his bleeding shoulder and the other holding a sword.
"Rodney!" King Charles immediately got up and walked quickly to Rodney.
Turner and the guards were relieved to find out that it was Rodney, the chief knight. For now, as long as the gifted guards, the Minister of Magic, the powerful court mages, and the dragon slayer hero Rodney can protect the king, they can keep safe, even if thousands of troops are pressing.
Turner has already sent someone to deliver the letter bird, and it is believed that the Minister of Magic will arrive soon.
Felicia also wanted to call out to Rodney, but the argument with the king just now had to make her restrain her emotions and ask calmly, "Are you hurt?" ”
"It's just a minor injury," replied, and Rodney saluted the king, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report, please listen to my long story short, and go back to the palace for the time being with the door I have opened, and then consider it in the long run." ”
"The Araja reversed, didn't he!?" King Charles immediately replied. Combined with the content of the meeting in the throne hall a few days ago - 800 "slave curse seal" scrolls have been stolen one after another in the past few days, and similar scrolls among the people have also been lost, and there is eyewitness evidence of the activities of the suburban people... There is nothing but rebellion.
"Yes, I received some clues last night, and I tracked them down on the outskirts of the city overnight and took out one of their secret camps," Rodney showed a slightly painful expression, the blood from his shoulder ran down his arm, and large dripping to the ground, "The camp has a hundred stolen scrolls, and a detailed plan for your assassination, but I didn't expect it to be in a gladiatorial arena with strict screening and soldiers' handles, so I rushed back, sorry for exposing you to danger for too long." ”
"If only you showed up in time, Rodney." King Charles responded with a smile.
Only the eldest princess paid more attention to his injuries, took a healing potion from the servant, and came to Rodney and handed it to him.
In desperation, King Charles couldn't control his sister's look at Rodney, who really needed the potion, so King Charles tried his best to take his attention off his sister's expression.
After a slight glance, Rodney drank the potion, and the wound healed instantly.
"Was that wound also inflicted in the enemy camp?" The eldest princess couldn't control it and asked worriedly.
Rodney nodded, also suppressed his emotions, and stretched out his hand to signal the two of them to step back, "There are still hidden assassins in the gladiatorial arena, waiting for me to clean up." ”
The two of them gave up enough space, and Rodney swung his sword, continuously stabbing the portal circles generated around him one after another.
The exit circle opened behind the backs of some of the strangely dressed men in the crowd, who were either shifting, standby, or raising their crossbows to shoot, all of whom were stabbed in the heart by Rodney in the back.
Including Xia Zuo, a person who stayed in his seat, let out a cry of pain, covered his chest and rolled, fell to the front row, and died at Xia's left foot.
The eyes are wide, the pupils are dilated, and the slightly open mouth only has the breath coming out, not the incoming air.
"My lord Xia Zuo?" Long Ge called out to Xia Zuo, who was in a daze, but didn't have to respond.
He stared at the subhuman face of the blue slave spell sigil, the HP above his head dropping to 0, and several sick and debilitating debuffs disappeared... How did such a frail subhuman become an assassin? Could it be that he was the slave he saved from the market the other day? I feel more and more similar.
Within seconds, all the enemies in the arena were destroyed, and Rodney unsheathed his sword and saluted the king.
"Your Majesty, the neighborhood is safe, please go back to the palace first..."With a hand, in front of the king and the eldest princess, a wide magic circle was opened, which led to the outside of the gladiatorial arena, and then teleported several times a hundred steps away, and it would soon be there.
"Wait," said Turner, who walked in from outside the wall, and saluted, "Knight Rodney, thank you for your protection of Your Majesty... Thank you for destroying all the enemies in the field, but it is unknown if there are any new enemies at the exit of the portal, so it is safer for Your Majesty to be escorted back to the palace by you and me, as well as the guards. ”
"My teleportation circle will be faster, and I naturally know if the road ahead is safe." Rodney said, vaguely sensing that Turner was casting a suspicious look.
"I would like to ask you, how did you know the distribution of assassins in the gladiatorial arena? And killed them all accurately. Turner asked.
"The enemy's plan of disposition," Rodney pulled out a manuscript from his bosom and handed it to Turner, "this is only the part of the gladiatorial arena, and I will get more documents from the enemy's camp to return to the palace and give them to His Majesty to see, and then the ministers will need to discuss countermeasures." ”
Turner took a quick glance, and the terrain of the arena was drawn in detail, and even each seat was clear, and the part of the circle was where the Assassins hid in the crowd, most of them included the royal grandstand in the firing range, and the farther ones were the Assassin reserves.
"Judging from the fact that the gladiatorial arena can be mixed with the subhuman assassins, most of them, the personnel of the gladiatorial arena have internal responses." Rodney added.
"There's an inner ghost?" Several people spoke in unison.
King Charles couldn't help but look at every guard around him, and took a few steps closer to Rodney, the only one who could trust him at the moment.
"I see," Turnal handed back the manuscript, "but please follow my plan, the Minister of Palmer of the Ministry of Magic will soon be there to meet on the way to the evacuation, and it is obviously safer not to open the portal and rush forward." ”
"I agree, since Minister Palmer is coming, do as you say." Rodney nodded.
This made Turner breathe a sigh of relief, always thinking that Rodney would stick to his claims.
In the aristocratic stands, Qiu Yi slapped his son's face.
"Idiot! Let Rodney come out and be a hero again! Why didn't you go up earlier!? And asked questions continuously.
"Father, do you think I can kill the subhumans in every corner of the field in just a few seconds!? Twenty of them, it looks! Recalling the scene of continuous blood splattering in the field, Eddie gritted his teeth.
After a while, Xia Zuo found the distance, Jenny and Rupert arrived, and then escorted the king and the eldest princess with the guards, and left the gladiatorial arena through the exclusive passage behind the platform.
Even the injured gladiators in the field have been temporarily dodging, and it is estimated that the turmoil caused by the subhumans will be strictly controlled by the beastmen.
The Colosseum final? ... Nope.
What about his own goal, Xia Zuomu was stunned for a moment... It is necessary to ask what is really going on with this mess.
