Chapter 81: The Speed of Life and Death
"Let's get out of this hell!"
As Leo spoke, the long convoy began to move on again, but it still avoided the area where the previous Taidamir had killed the city defense team, and even the knights didn't want to look at the slaughter scene......
As he marched at a constant speed, the crisp sound of horses' hooves gradually approached, and Auston in the center of the procession, the Duke of Lancaster, who was wearing light chain armor, and the Marquis of Hohenzollern, all rushed to Leo's side, and after nodding hurriedly to Finn, who had given up his position, the Duke rarely spoke with a sad face
"Leo, the current situation is becoming less and less optimistic, now we encounter the frequency of rebellious armies is gradually increasing, Rolf is not an idiot, it will definitely be heavily defended at several city gates, if only we can say it, but ......"
Following the Duke of Lancaster's gaze, Leo looked into the center of the convoy, where the carriages of all the families of the families were most closely guarded, and Elena was among them......
Shaking his head, Leo desperately expelled the countless tragedies he had seen before from his mind, as if to the duke, or to comfort himself, and looked at a few people who pretended to be relaxed
"Don't worry about Your Excellency Duke, my friends, don't forget, not only do we have nearly two hundred knights together, but all the able-bodied male servants have also been distributed with simple weapons, even if there are thousands of city defenders, I am confident that I will defeat or even destroy them, it is not far from the city gate, at most we will have hope of getting out of the city after three blocks, believe me, no matter how strong the city gate is, it will not be able to defend the city, we will easily get out of the city......"
"Let's hope so, Leo, we just discussed it, the speed of the convoy is too slow now, we need to pick up the pace, we must get to Rolf or ...... Or the church will leave the city before reacting, otherwise even with our current strength, we will not be able to resist all the armies of the imperial capital if we are trapped in the city! ”
Leo nodded at Auston who spoke, he understood the other party's concerns, now they are like a race against time, if they don't hurry, both the church and Rolf must be happy to take the opportunity to kill them to avoid future troubles
Of course, perhaps the Church will spare Leo's life, as they are desperate to get the whereabouts of Dragon's Tears......
"Finn"
Leo did not hesitate, and directly called his Grand Master of the Knights, he understood that at such a time, he should never point fingers superfluously, and it was the safest way to leave professional things to professional people
Finn on horseback, with a slight forehead with a serious expression, and after his eyes signaled Keith to protect Leo, he led a small group of punishment knights to the rear of the team, he had previously received the authorization of several nobles, including the Duke of Lancaster, and the knights of several major families would also be under his command for the time being
Soon, with Finn's effective coordination, and after abandoning several large carts of heavy belongings, the speed of the reduced team increased significantly, and all the knights were scattered around, ready to deal with the unexpected......
Obviously, although the pace of the march was accelerated at the right time, the reality was still unwilling to let them go easily, and a Knight of the Dawn of the Noldor, who was sent by Aldalian to act as a scout, rushed over with his horse, and shouted before the people approached
"My lord, we're in trouble......"
"Wow!"
The elven war horse had just stopped in front of Leo, and before the knight on horseback could open his mouth to report in detail, the dull and dense sound of horses' hooves had already reached everyone's ears
The ground paved with bluestone trembled violently as a result, and a large number of heavily armed Templars slowly turned around the street corner with an incomparably murderous aura, and stopped in silence nearly a hundred meters away from Leo and the others
"It's those religious madmen Leo, damn it, I should have thought that Rolf must have had their support to dare to do such a rebellious thing!"
Auston cursed fiercely, which could make the worry and horror on his face visible to even a fool, and he was extremely jealous of the religious madman in his mouth......
The knight of the Knights Templar in the lead took a few steps forward and looked at the fluttering flags of the convoy for a long time before lifting his visor and sneering
"The Lancasters, the Hohenzollerns, the Merovingians, oh, and our new Grand Duke Leo, it's so late, where do you want to go?"
"Rochenthal, get out of the way, there is no contradiction between us and the Church, no matter what agreement you have with Rolf, now we just want to leave here and return to our fiefdom, peace or war, you are a mere deputy head of the Knights Templar, I'm afraid you don't have the right to make a choice for the Church!"
The Duke of Lancaster said unceremoniously, his low tone and the majesty he had cultivated over many years in a high position made the opposite Rochenthal hesitate at first, but immediately, as if remembering something, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he laughed out loud
"Duke, praise the Supreme God, do you still think this is the same as usual, Your Excellency, you raise your head and look around, look at the entire imperial capital, don't put on that high-minded appearance again, none of you can leave, make a choice, Your Excellency Duke, do you obediently return to the mansion and wait for disposal, or challenge the warriors of the gods here?"
"Warriors of the gods? Have you ever seen a God as it really is? No, you don't, but we've seen that in Pande, even gods can kill! ”
Turning his head, Leo looked at the punishment knights who had already lined up in an attack formation under the leadership of Keith, and the family members in the rear were also under the personal leadership of Finn, who were firmly guarded by the knights of the major families
Reaching out and drawing his sword, he whispered to Keith, "Defeat them as fast as you can, that Rochenthal is stalling for time, we must not be surrounded here!" ”
Nodding heavily, after glancing at the short distance and the narrow streets, Keish pulled down his armor and took the lead in throwing away the ineffective cavalry spear, and took a few steps forward to draw his two-handed greatsword and roared out the battle call belonging to the Punishment Knight
"For the sake of honor!"
"Ho!"
The sound of a metal crash sounded intensively, and all the punishment knights did not hesitate to drop their excellent riding spears at the same time, holding long swords and shields, and their bodies were slightly bowed on the back of their horses, ready to attack in an instant
"Bastards, you dare to challenge the most loyal warriors in front of the Supreme God, kill them, leave no one alive except Leo, Lord Aeoris has received a signal and will be coming soon!"
With Rochenthal's orders, the well-trained and fanatical Knights Templar were ready to do so, believing that in the Imperial Capital, no knight could compete with them except the Knights of Glory, and that a team of 100 men would be enough to hold back the opponent and even crush them before reinforcements arrived......
If they were only facing the knights of the Duke and other families, such an idea would be true, but unfortunately there were not so many assumptions and ifs in the world......
The horse's hooves fell heavily, and the unicorn wearing the full body horse armor could no longer see a trace of the usual meekness and elegance, with each step, the eyes of all the unicorns who entered the battle state had become blood-red, and the furious speed made the short distance fleeting
When Rochenthal had just trotted up on the war horse under his crotch, the heavy two-handed sword in the hand of Keith, who rushed in front of him, had already slashed at him diagonally with unrivaled power like lightning......
"Ahh
In a flash of light, Rochenthal, as the deputy head of the Templar Order, still had some real material, and hurriedly raised the knight's shield of the cross to block the attack
However, driven by the terrifying potential energy of the unicorn charge, Case's simple slash sent a deafening roar on the shield, and in the scream, Rochenthal clearly felt that his left hand holding the shield had broken off his wrist......
Before he could throw away his shield and fight back, a little impatience flashed across his face under the face armor of the first time he was fighting
"Cross Slash!"
Then, as if the passage of time had temporarily frozen, the heavy two-handed sword disappeared and reappeared in Keith's hand in an instant, and the bright sword light drew a beautiful but deadly cross mark in the night sky, and then held it in his hand again......
On the other side, the stunned expression on Rochenthal's face had not even disappeared, the body wrapped in the stainless steel armor, the shield and long sword in his hand, and even the war horse under the crotch were all slowly torn apart from the middle as if in slow motion
After using this trick, Keith couldn't help but gasp a little, and he didn't even look at the fragments of the corpse that had just gushed blood on the ground, and swung his sword at the Templars in front of him, who were stunned and couldn't believe all this
"Save time and crush them as quickly as possible......"
