Act 214: Flame of Dawn XV
The night in the imperial capital was not destined to be peaceful, and at the same time that Brando infiltrated the Cold Dew Manor, another battle was fought in Moss Castle.
The commander of the attacker was a delicate little girl, but her strength and tactical skills made the city guards who were enemies of them fearful.
Métiza rode alone on the castle's drawbridge.
The war is almost over, but the smell of gunsmoke still fills the air.
She wielded a silver spear, her winged helmet protected her slightly childish face, and under her determined silver gaze, the gates of the moss castle had long since been opened, and the enemies who stood in her way lay in the hole of the gate, lifeless.
This is part of Brando's overall plan, and that's just one of them.
After a few moments, the White City Vanguard finally captured the last tower, from where the sparrow leaned out and waved at her.
Medisa nodded to them with satisfaction:
"Well done, uncle."
"It's your credit, Miss Commander." Tiger Sparrow replied with a smile.
At this moment, the people of the original Lubis mercenary group have already changed their guns, and the tiger bird of the mercenary group leader is wearing heavy armor, and his weapon has also been replaced with a long halberd with a cold light, and a small line of text is engraved with Faenzan on the blade, which is actually a proverb that has been circulated among the people of Baicheng Township:
Courage gives victory.
The tower was in shambles, the corpses of seven or eight Imperial soldiers were scattered around a table and window, and a few severed bows were scattered around, and the small space was filled with a strong smell of blood. The tiger sparrow looked at this scene, shook his head flatly, took out his pipe, struck a match and lit it, and suddenly there was light and darkness in the darkness, and then a puff of smoke rose.
It was a moment of calm after the battle. The men were still immersed in the afterglow of the slaughter, and the smoke seemed to form an illusion, and behind it was the Golden Hall of the Ten Cities, the home of the warriors, the temple of bravery.
Flo frowned and dragged her sister out of the room by the hand, causing a burst of laughter, and in the shadow of the city walls lurked a fish that had slipped through the net to attack the two sisters. As a result, Flo's hands flashed with cold light, half of the city wall was frozen with a layer of white frost, and the imperial soldiers were even frozen into ice.
The level of the Lubis mercenaries summoned by the White City Vanguard is only ten levels lower than that of the French Knights, and now that Medisa has touched the side of truth with one hand, the strength of the original Lubis mercenaries has naturally increased, and they have become Templars.
Inside the castle, the remnants of the city guards stood behind the castle's gates, and Hipamela and her iron golems and gargoyles were repeatedly thwarted in their attacks. In a fit of rage, Miss Priest personally went into battle, raised the mountain and river and knocked on the gate with a hammer, and as a result, the door that had been blessed by the wizard behind the door many times was intact, but after the mountain shook for a while, the entire wall on this side of the castle collapsed.
Almost everyone was stunned by the shocking blow, but Miss Priest didn't realize it, anyway, as long as the goal was achieved.
Hipamila pushed open the door, holding her hand over her nose. coughing vigorously, the wizards and soldiers behind the door had already been shocked to death. And the gate was left with a frame standing in the dust.
The moss castle looked like an open black hole, and the gate was its incisors.
The door creaked open, and the masonry fell like rain behind her, but Hipamela suddenly felt alarmed, raised her right hand, and the aura of a ring spread out from her hand. A hemispherical light curtain is formed.
"Song of Protection—"
A great axe was swung in the darkness, and then the sound of the wind followed, and the axe slammed into Hipamela's open curtain of light, which did not even fluctuate, only flickered. Then it disappears into the invisible.
However, the blast wave directly smashed the doors on both sides, the door frame was broken, and the two gates slowly fell one after the other.
Suddenly a fist reached out in the darkness, and with a single punch smashed the door that had been pressed down.
Sawdust flew like butterflies and fell, and then out of it came a shirtless man carrying a great axe, whose pants and foot guards were not the city guards, but the knights of the guard.
He glanced at Hipamela, who was unscathed and didn't even move the corners of his clothes, with some surprise, and asked, "What kind of ability are you, why can you just be at the peak of the side of truth, and you can block my blow unscathed?" ”
"This is the song of protection," replied Hipamela earnestly, "it is the faith that the goddess has given me, and it is indestructible, like a lofty mountain, and a heavy earth." ”
"Yes," said the big man, smiling, holding up his axe, "then I would like to see how firm your faith in your goddess is." ”
In the face of the opponent's attack, Hipamela immediately became solemn, although she was a little simple, but she was not stupid, the opposite side was obviously the power of the extreme realm, with her alone, even if she added the mountains and rivers, it was impossible to win, she had to find a way to hold on until Medisa and they rushed to support.
The big man was about to make a move, but suddenly he took a step back, and with a soft bang, an arrow burning with pale flames had been inserted into the place where he had been standing.
The place had been a marble floor, but not only had the arrow firmly stuck into the ground, but the tail feathers were still shaking on their own, which showed the great power of the place.
The big man looked up and saw that there were three more women in the sky at some point.
Or rather, female creatures --
It was more like three female armors, riding on top of a white Pegasus, who stood in the air on all four feet, and the white flames under the female armor rose and tumbled, forming a human body. Beneath the winged helmets, the eyes were particularly bright, like a pair of stars, and they held longbows woven of moonlight, and the arrows on the bowstrings were made of white underworld fire, aiming at him condescendingly.
"Valkyrie?"
Dahan was extremely surprised in his heart, this was the legendary Cunzài, he never dreamed that he would see it here.
"It's okay," Dahan's eyes flashed with bright brilliance, he raised his axe and said, "I have heard that Valkyries are real warriors, they are born to fight, and every move is the instinct of battle, today let me see what the so-called warrior instinct is." ”
He was full of fighting spirit and was about to make a move. But I heard a voice from behind: "Stop, Tariye, isn't it a shame for your dignified knight of the guard to show off his might in front of a little girl?"
Dahan was slightly stunned, turned around, and found a person walking out of the shadows of the hall. Her long turquoise hair stood out in the dark, and her calm eyes contained vast wisdom, like a clear emerald.
"Veronica?"
He saw the others standing behind the Captain of the Legionnaires, the Lord of the Duchy of Mehotofen, the head of the House of Kirk, the Grand Duke of Mohama and his eldest son, the Elder of the Council of Nobles, the Grand Duke of Freeland, the Duke of Cecil. And also......
The figure was already a little rickety, but the temperament on his body was still as majestic as that of the empire itself.
When he saw the old man, he almost knelt down on one knee and saluted.
In the time of Grantodi the Great, it was said that the Great represented the will of the empire, but there was one person who represented the majesty of the empire, and that was the prime minister Niedwin.
Although he has been out of politics for many years, he can still see the style of the era when the empire was at its most powerful.
He didn't have to speak. It's already a living legend in its own right.
There are those who hate him, those who have lost ground in the power struggle. A noble force under the Sanctuary of Fire.
There are those who revere him, veterans of the empire, who have witnessed an era, who have witnessed the glory of being a soldier.
Although the Captain of the Knights of the Guard, Tariyeh, was not single-handedly raised, but in the time of the Prime Minister Nedwin, he was only the lowest level of captain. I have long been familiar with the prestige of this big man.
He didn't dare to speak to the old prime minister, so he could only ask Veronica, "Veronica, are you going to leave?" ”
"To leave this place is to betray Her Majesty," Veronica sighed, "but now I have to." Tariyeh. ”
"These guys out there...... What is the relationship with you? The Captain of the Guards frowned and asked, "These people are not Imperials, I have seen among them at least the Faenzans and elves, as well as the war machines of the Buga. ”
"Don't worry, Tariye," Veronica replied, "we won't betray the Empire to outsiders, and the little ones out there......"
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but have a smile on her face.
Who would have thought that fate would be so wonderful, that she and that little fellow of Eruin were only in the Ring of Trade Winds, and even had a hostile relationship, but because of her good intentions, she did not expect that one day she would really benefit from this appreciation.
Although she knew the purpose of Brando's visit to the Empire, in her heart, she still felt that she owed the other party a great favor.
"This little guy who likes to cause trouble, and the trouble is getting bigger and bigger."
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
"Well, I respect your choice," the Captain of the Guards Knights raised the axe in his hand, "Lady Veronica, but if you want to leave here, you must ask my old fellow first."
"Are you serious," Veronica couldn't help but shake her head: "Tariye? ”
"Of course, can't you see the burning battle intent in my chest?"
"Yes," a cold voice suddenly interjected at this time, "worthy of the courage of the Empire, then Your Excellency should be ready-"
At this time, the Captain of the Knights of the Guards saw another person beside Veronica, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "West, Sidney, Holy See, ......?" ”
The last one to come out was the statue of the Holy Maiden of the Lion Palace, who, as always, looked at the head of the knights with a cold face, and replied:
"I brought these people in, and now I'm going to take them away, do you have any opinion, Tariyeh."
"I, I......" The Captain of the Guards seemed to have seen a ghost.
"Why, do you want to ask your old buddy too?"
"Well, of course not," the Captain of the Guards coughed, "I suddenly remembered something......
He already knew in his heart at this time that the castle of Moss Castle must have another secret passage, and this kind of secrecy was not a secret to Sidney and Vala, who were once at the top of the empire.
"What do you remember, is there another imperial capital lady waiting for you, what's the matter, where is the burning battle intent in your chest?" Sidney asked impersonally.
The head of the Knights of the Guards looked bitter and couldn't help but ask Veronica for help. But the latter only treated it as if he didn't see it, and he had to beg: "Just let me go, teacher......"
"Okay, I don't mean to embarrass you, you can go." Sidney replied.
Only then did the Han be pardoned, and hurriedly bowed to the old prime minister. Only then did he carry his axe and hurriedly ran out of the ruins.
Faced with this scene, the people present did not have any strange expressions except for laughing, who did not know that the head of the Knight of the Guards was once a proud student of the Holy Maiden of the Lion Holy Palace.
"Lady Sidney," said the Grand Duke of Mohama, "take me to thank your friend Eruin, the Kirk family owes the Earl a favor. ”
Greed and Archduke Freeland followed suit, and with them taking the lead, the other rescued nobles joined in. Only Duke Cecil was silent in the crowd.
Of course, this is not because he and Brando have a vendetta against their son, but the Cecil family has always been a vassal of the Temple, and Sidney has privately told him about his current relationship with the Temple, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't say anything.
However, the nobles' statements were basically meaningless to the lady of the Holy Maiden of the Lion Sacred Palace, but when the eldest son of the Grand Duke of Flower and Leaf asked if his sister had arrived in the imperial capital, the former had a slight reaction and nodded.
Then she said to Veronica, "Now Mr. Brando is attracting the attention of the Silver Queen at the Cold Dew Manor, he alone is not His Majesty's opponent, you and I will go and support him." ”
"No problem." Veronica hastened to reply, of course she didn't want to see the little one in Eruin make a mistake because of herself.
"Take me with you. I'll go too. At this time, an old voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone turned their heads in amazement and looked at the old prime minister who had spoken.
"Your Majesty's mistake is not the fault of one person," Nedwin said slowly, "all of us should be responsible for this, take me to meet her, and I will persuade her to show mercy to your little friend." ”
The female captain looked at Sidney with some uncertainty.
The latter nodded slowly.
"What about the others?"
"Continue to follow Mr. Brando's original plan." Sidney turned to Hipamela, who was standing outside, and said, "Miss Hipamela, please send these people to Rustasil first, we-"
At this point, she suddenly stopped.
Rustle. The ground was trembling, and the gravel in the ruins seemed to come to life and dance wildly as if it had been infused with magic.
This is......
"Earthquake?" The first thought on everyone's mind.
They immediately dismissed the idea.
Because the whole castle shook, the air made a whimpering sound, as if something was shaking, wave after wave, and there were obvious ripples throughout the space.
Some small stones actually floated from the ground and floated into the air, and the whole hall seemed to lose some of its gravity, and the stone pillars rattled and broke from them with a click, and the scattered rubble also floated and suspended in mid-air.
Veronica's face changed dramatically.
And Hipamela on the side also felt that the other world was being stirred up by something, and the change of the law had caused such a big reaction from the main material world.
How is the back of the world changing dramatically?
What is the calling?
Sidney suddenly raised his right hand, and everyone saw that the right hand of the lady of the Lion Sacred Palace was from the wrist to the elbow, and the golden runes lit up repeatedly, and finally formed a mysterious pattern.
"It's ......"
