Chapter 279: Chasing the Saxon King!

"Besides, if I can become king, I promise to improve your living conditions!" Ios continued, "I will ban all of my brother's harsh policies towards you in the past. I will put an end to the war that has been going on, so that you can work in peace and mind, fill your stomach every day, and no longer have to run around to survive! ”

Ios's words fell, and the eyes of the Saxon civilians around him changed significantly.

A moment laterβ€”

"Prince Ios, we have your back! For so long the king forced conscription, we have long had enough! ”

"Yes, if you can fill your stomach, no one will be reduced to a bandit invasion of Britain!"

"You are a descendant of the god of fire, and we believe in you!"

With respect and trust, the surrounding people leaned down and declared their loyalty to Ios.

"Well, I'm proud of you, you're all real Saxons." Ios laughed with satisfaction, "Now, who can tell me which direction my brother is running?" I'm going to make sure he gets the punishment he deserves. ”

The Saxon civilians couldn't help but look at each other.

"Prince Ios, I just saw His Majesty go west!"

Soon, a young man jumped out of it, pointed in one direction and said loudly.

"Very well, thank you. When I get rid of my brother, I'll definitely come back and reward you. ”

Ios said with a smile, and then decided to go in that direction.

"Wait, Ios." I pressed his shoulder, "Just in case I'm with you, the army has asked Artoria to stay here." ”

"Good. I am able to have today thanks to you, you are willing to accompany me to witness the process of retrieving everything, I naturally have no opinion. ”

Ios readily agreed.

"Shirou, be careful."

The girl said something to me.

"Well, I'll be right back."

After arranging everything, Ios and I walked quickly in the corresponding direction.

β€”β€”

Ios was fast, not lagging behind me at all.

"Okay, you guy, it looks like your physical fitness has improved a lot during your time in the Shadow Country."

I was a little surprised in my heart, and I also joked.

"Don't mention it, Mr. Skaha said that my physical strength is not enough to support a protracted battle, so let me exercise every day." Ios's face suddenly became bitter, "It was really a painful day like purgatory......"

"Makes you not exercise well before." I laughed in my heart, "It's really not good if I don't practice you hard." ”

"So, do you want to test the speed?" Ios couldn't help but say, "Let me see, my suffering during this time is not in vain. ”

"Okay, then you have to be careful not to be left behind by me."

As I spoke, I directly increased my speed and instantly pulled Ios four or five meters away.

"Damn, I'm not going to lose!"

Behind me, Ios gritted his teeth and chased after me......

β€”β€”

The two of us were running at full speed, but only a few minutes before a figure loomed ahead.

Three or four heavily armed guards surrounded a man in a luxurious gold robe and fled in a frenzy.

"Your Majesty...... They're after it! ”

Noticing us chasing from behind, one of the guards said to the man in alarm.

"What!?" The man's face suddenly showed fear, "How many of them are there?" ”

"Two ...... Two...... One of them is Prince Ios. ”

Another guard replied.

"Damn...... Is Ios here in person...... Now he's so powerful that I can't deal with it......"

The man gritted his teeth very reluctantly, and then his face struggled.

"You guys, go up and stop them!"

The man commanded several of the guards.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Several of the guards nodded without hesitation, and could see that they were all die-hard loyalists of the king, and had devoted their lives to him.

Then, turning their horses' heads and brandishing their scimitars, they charged at me and Ios.

"I'm sorry, although you are also Saxons, but since you have chosen to die for your brother, I can only fulfill you."

Ios's face was slightly sad, but his eyes soon became cold.

His arm was quickly raised, and a few simple symbols were drawn in front of him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several flames suddenly appeared, shooting directly at the bodies of the guards.

In an instant, they became Burning People!

"Wow, ahh No! ”

The guards screamed and fell off their horses, rolling on the ground desperately trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

However, the flame seemed to have spirituality, and no matter how much it was beaten, it did not weaken by half a point.

If this continues, the only possibility is that they will be burned alive!

In that case, it would be too cruel.

Thinking so, I shook my head and snapped my fingers.

Whew!

A transparent film of air formed on the surface of the bodies of several of the guards, completely isolating the flames that could not be extinguished.

"Whew...... Whew......"

The surviving defenders lay on the ground gasping for breath, their skin covered in blisters and scars under their burnt tattered clothes.

"Shirou, you're ......"

Ios couldn't help but look at me.

"Just make sure they don't get in our way, there's no need to take their lives." I shook my head and said, "You are the future king, not the executioner." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well, count them in good luck this time. ”

Ios looked at a few guards who were lying on the ground moaning and completely unable to get up for a long time, and then gritted his teeth and nodded.

Then, we straddle their bodies directly from above and continue to chase the Saxon king.

"Haha, Ios, there is the city gate on the other side in front, as long as I escape, it will be difficult for you to catch me again!"

The Saxon king looked at the gate that gradually came into view in front of him, and couldn't help but laugh loudly with excitement.

"Shirou, help me teleport to the front!"

Ios frowned, then turned to me.

"Okay."

I nodded, grabbed Ios' arm and activated the magic.

Sou!

The two of us disappeared in an instant, and appeared at the gate at the other end.

"What!?"

The Saxon king was taken aback.

"Damn, in that case, I'll kill you!"

His face quickly became fierce, not only did he not stop the car, but he came at full speed!

"Earthen wall!"

The corners of Ios's mouth hooked, and he drew a few runes in the air, then crouched down and pressed his hands against the ground under his feet at the same time!

Thundered!

The earth trembled, and a wall of earth more than ten meters wide rose from the ground, blocking between us and the Saxon king!

"Bastard! What the hell is this! ”

The Saxon king's eyes widened, and he desperately pulled the reins to stop the car.

However, because the force of the previous full-speed charge was too great, and the buffer period was too long, it was almost impossible to stop all at once.

Bang Dang!

The carriage that couldn't be stopped slammed into the solid earthen wall that was formed when it was facing, and it fell in an instant!
