Chapter 52: The Contest
On the Crimson Cloud Coast, more than a dozen shadows stood quietly on the ground.
There was a freeze in the air.
The atmosphere seems to have dropped to freezing point.
Robin finished speaking categorically and bowed slightly to Himma.
The other party's face became extremely ugly, including the corners of his mouth trembling uncontrollably.
As His Majesty's bodyguard, and the eldest son of Grand Duke Eldington, she had never been so humiliated.
"So, let the trouble go." Robin smiled politely, "Because we still have to rush to the Frost Fortress to find the protection of Grand Duke Rosalind." β
An imperceptible sly look flashed in Robin's eyesβ
Come on, let me see what you'll do?
Hima.
The King's personal guard.
He didn't want to offend these people completely, after all, they represented the power of the king behind them.
However, when Gale stood up for him and earned back every dignity for him, Robin was determined to face them head-on.
It's not just their own struggle, they shouldn't compromise at this time, they shouldn't be afraid of offending people.
Quite the opposite.
Robin wanted to verify a little bit -
What does the dignity of the temple really mean?
What does the power of the gods really mean?
The Chosen One, what does it really mean?
What he said just now was carefully considered, even if there would really be any hidden dangers at that time, at least the dangers encountered in this line of work were not deceitful.
They have good reason to suspect the identity of the comer.
As he said, you never know who is a traitor and who is lying.
What if the person who came was pretending?
Who knows if they're really the king's guards?
However, Robin has his own judgment in the bottom of his heart -
These people who came, including Jima, were genuine king's guards.
The arrogance engraved in the bones, as well as the sophisticated equipment, all confirm this.
And most crucially......
It's in Rosalind's Ring.
The great Thunder Knight described by Heloise was not for nothing.
How could such a non-Itnell cavalry be allowed to blatantly roam back and forth on the Crimson Coast, at the front of the Frost Fortress, under the nose of Rosalind?!
So, this king's personal guard is real.
But Robin has something to verify.
Himma's breathing became rapid, trying to suppress the anger in her chest.
As Robin and his party walked past her, the knight in silver armor suddenly raised his head.
"Lord the Chosen."
"Huh?" Robin turned, a gleam in his dark eyes.
"The king's command, thou shalt not disobey."
At this point, Himma almost gritted her teeth and squeezed out of her teeth word by word.
Smoke fills the air.
The smell of gunpowder is getting stronger.
Gail quickly got in front of Robin, pressed his right hand on the saber, and stared at Hima with a fierce gaze, "Knight! Watch your tone, the Chosen One is not on the King's commands! β
Just right.
A glint flashed in Robin's eyes, staring into Himma's eyes.
That's the answer he wants.
Which is higher and which is more powerful when it comes to divine power and kingship?
Gail showed him a part of-
For her, there is no doubt that the gods are higher.
Robin was not surprised by this, as a temple education that had grown up in the temple since she was a child and had been educated in the temple, it was only natural that she would be true to her duties and beliefs.
But what about the king's personal guards?
Will you obey the king unconditionally?
Or is it swayed by theocracy?
Come on, show me.
Jima!
"I'm sorry." Himma gritted her teeth and squeezed the words behind her back from between her teeth, "Even if it's the Chosen One." β
The knights around them were shocked.
Some have frightened faces, some have resolute faces, and some have expressionless expressions......
It's good, five to four to three.
Robin took in the changes in their expressions, and probably had some judgment in his mind.
"What, do you want to use a strong one?" Robin looked up at the crowd with his proud head up, "Come, if you want to defy the gods." β
In his gaze, some raised their heads, some avoided their gaze, and some were indifferent.
It's good, seven to three to two.
"It's our duty to get you back to the temple safely." Hima shouted, "Even if we are infamous, at least we have a future for the kingdom." β
The sound of armor rubbing came, and the faces of the knights changed slightly.
Some sighed, some lifted their spirits, and some bowed their heads in thought......
Robin took in the changes in the expressions on their faces.
Well, this time it's two to five to five.
The scales in his heart were back in balance.
There was the sound of the knights' armor rubbing around, five people forward, five people behind, and two people standing in place.
Hima pouted politely, "Take the Chosen One back." β
After speaking, she added, "Don't let him get hurt." β
"You're simply!" Gail angrily stood in front of Robin.
"Don't panic, Gail." Robin's gentle voice came from behind him.
The corners of the Chosen One's mouth rose slightly, and he whispered, "Over to you, Kaye, be careful not to hurt them too much." β
The knights' faces turned pale, and their eyes, including Jima, almost burst into flames.
The crowd let out a neat shout and threw themselves at Robin.
A large humanoid figure stood between them, and Kaye sank in his body, his hands outstretched outward, his jaw slightly tucked.
The sea breeze ruffled her long blonde hair.
A silver light was reflected in the turquoise pupils.
The first to arrive were the two knights, who grabbed Kaye with both hands, only to be caught by him at an even faster speed.
"Bang!"
With the help of inertia, they were thrown out with force and smashed into the people who attacked from behind.
There was a bang, and the four knights crashed into each other and fell to the ground.
Kaye smiled slightly, sprang out of his short body, and swept his right leg heavily into the calf of the incoming knight.
The man lost his center of gravity and threw himself forward.
Using his inertia, Kaye kicked his hind leg upwards and slammed it into her chin.
Boom......
The man rolled over in the air and lay on his back on the ground, but fainted from the blow.
However, Kaye's speed didn't slow down, she swept across the ground, her upper body spinning upright, and using the power of the rotation, her hands cut two beautiful arcs in the air.
"Bang bang!"
The two figures then flew out.
By this time, Kaye had already arrived in front of Hima.
"Bang!"
The two of them punched each other hard with their fists in the air, and Himuma took a step back, her eyes widening in disbelief-
This squire's skills are completely ......
Followed by a flash in front of him.
Heaven and earth hung upside down.
Kaye stooped short to lift her body and flipped backwards.
"Boom!"
Hima landed heavily and let out a snort.
The shock in my heart was even more incomprehensible.
This is already a power beyond the realm of sin and prison, comparable to holding life.
However, she had never seen this person before......
