Chapter 8: The Fate of a Traitor

Alex, get out of here, John yelled at his defeated men who fell to the ground, I don't want my sword to be stained with your filthy blood again

Alex struggled to his feet, picked up his sword, and staggered towards the outside of the Imperial Garden, no one knew how he did it with such a severe injury, perhaps it was the feeling of shame that inspired his abilities, but after all, he was a royal knight, and if he had changed someone else, he would have been permanently paralyzed even if he couldn't die

John turned to Panalonda and shouted in a loud voice, "Let go of Your Majesty as soon as it's your turn."

This...... In the face of the fierce formation, Pan Alonda seemed to have forgotten that he still had an absolute advantage in numbers, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and the two rebel soldiers who hijacked the king with their knives were completely intimidated by the momentum displayed by John, and they were as obedient as his subordinates obeyed the orders of their superiors, and immediately let go of the knife and hand that had kidnapped the king

John motioned to the four men around him, who immediately stepped forward to fetch the king from the rebels, and Pan Alonda and the remaining hundred or so rebels watched in amazement as they took their hostages, as if it were a complete handover ceremony

However, at this time, John, who was enduring the poison, could no longer support it, he only felt that his eyes were black, and he spit out a mouthful of black poisonous blood, and he barely supported his body with his sword, but it was obvious that the royal knight who was still majestic just now could no longer fight

Haha, the poison has completely taken over his inside, and now John Duncan is already at the end of his crossbow, seeing John's miserable appearance, Pan Alonda seems to see the balance of victory again, and he is inclined to give me all and snatch the king back

Yo, the coup soldiers roared and rushed forward, leaving only one knight and four wounded soldiers on the king's side, and the shape was dangerous......

At this moment, a javelin suddenly fell from the sky, not only full of strength, but also extremely high, a coup soldier who rushed to the front was pierced by the javelin from the chest to the buttocks, and finally the javelin that was not exhausted was also fiercely pierced into the ground, pinning the screaming soldier there, this sudden change caught everyone off guard, and then smashed the second javelin from the dark sky, then the third, the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth...... More than 100 coup soldiers who were still alive exploded in this sudden javelin rain, all of them were dodging the javelins falling from the sky, and some soldiers with wooden shields raised their shields above their heads in an attempt to resist the javelin attack, but the javelins were never comparable to bows and arrows, and those shield bearers who were not self-sufficient were pierced with shields, and after just a dozen seconds of javelin rain, the sound of flapping wings and the screams of some birds of prey came from the air

Second Highness, is it you, John, who has reached the limit, looked at the sky and smiled with satisfaction

At this time, everyone on the ground saw that there was a white object in the air that was swooping towards the ground at a very fast speed - it was a griffin with white feathers, and on it was a blonde young man dressed in the armor of a knight of the guards and holding a spear, father and teacher, I was late, and the young man on the back of the griffin shouted to the king and John, followed by dozens of warriors who were driving the griffons to dive

The air force is an indispensable part of a country's national defense, although the dragon is the overlord of the air, and the seven major forces of the continent have their own guarding dragons, but the dragons can not be commanded casually, whether the dragons want to fight with the forces they are guarding, but also with the approval of their own dragon patriarch (of course, the zombie dragons of the undead forces are not among them), so the major forces also have to form a regular air force that can be mobilized anytime and anywhere, the griffin is a flying monster, similar to the flying horse of the forest elves, The orc's bipedal wyvern, the dwarven serpent-winged beast, the griffin is the main air mount of the Holy Light Cult countries, and in the Holy Book of the Holy Light Cult, the griffin represents justice and order, and the Light Knights ride on the griffin to perform reconnaissance, communication, air supremacy, Military tasks such as ground support, each of the twelve great powers of the Holy Light Cult has established a griffin air cavalry force of different sizes, among which the griffin air cavalry force established by the Kingdom of Loma is the most largest, this country is not only known as the mountain kingdom, but also the name of the griffin country, this country with a population area is not huge, but its military strength is among the top among the twelve great powers, and even the extremely aggressive and powerful neighbor Fa Yale Empire does not dare to take it lightly, this is all thanks to the strong air force of this country, its griffin air cavalry force has established three at the corps level alone, and there are many air cavalry squadrons directly under the army, the Air Cavalry Squadron directly under the Navy and the Air Cavalry Squadron directly under the Imperial Family, this country's characteristic unit is also an enhanced version of the armored griffin, the Kingdom of Loma is also the only country among the twelve great powers that civilians the griffin, as long as there is enough money and a mountain cliff for the griffin to inhabit, anyone can buy a griffin of their own

However, compared with the Kingdom of Loma, Pole's air force is like a dwarf meets a giant griffin, a creature that lives on a cliff, and 99% of the land of the Pole Kingdom is a plain, there is almost no place suitable for griffons to grow in the country, but a country cannot do without an air force, so at the beginning of the kingdom, how to cultivate griffons on the plains has become an important national policy of the country. Expansion: Now the Griffin Cliff has been quite large-scale, but only one Griffon Cliff, no matter how it is expanded, is always limited in capacity, so the Griffin Air Cavalry of the Pole Kingdom is also very small, together with the attendants and other logistics support personnel, a total of more than 400 people, plus more than 120 griffons that can fight, a reinforced squadron is already the sum of all the air power of the Pole Kingdom, and it is just such a poor air force, which is only enough to be deployed near the capital, and it is rare to see griffons flying in the air with the flag of the Pole Kingdom on the border - this is also an important reason why this country has repeatedly lost wars with its neighbors for centuries

This griffin air cavalry reinforced squadron nominally belongs to the formation of the Silver Lily Legion, but the commander of the legion, John himself, has no right to directly transfer this force until he has the permission of the king, and now the squadron leader of this force is the second prince of the kingdom and also a student of John, who has just obtained the qualification of Knight of the Guard

With each dive of the griffon's empty rider, the life of a coup soldier was taken, either caught by the griffin's claws and thrown into the air and thrown to his death, or pierced by the spear of the empty knight, everyone calmly regrouped and the crossbowmen fought back, and the coup leader Pan Alonda, surrounded by several coup soldiers, shouted at the chaotic men, but everyone was too busy to take care of his orders, and almost no one carried out his orders

Having a griffon rush to the ground and engage in close-quarters combat with ground enemies is not the best option for a griffon, however, a standard griffin is usually only armed with four javelins and a fighting spear to fight in the air (no more, it can't be carried on its back), and in the javelin rain raid just now, the airriders used up all the javelins in their hands and rushed to the ground to participate in close-quarters combat, which was the only and final way for these airriders to fight

Taking advantage of the melee, two griffons landed beside the king and John, and Prince Agulie and another empty knight in the armor of a Legion knight jumped down from the two griffons

Teacher, you are wounded, Prince Agulie saw John's body, and he knew how fierce the battle had just been

Duke Duncan, please don't speak again, the king stopped John from talking, and then pressed his hand to the wound behind his back, John suddenly felt a warm current of magic pouring into his body through the armor, the wound on his body gradually healed, and the poisoned wound no longer came from pain

The king has never made public the healing technique of light magic, he is a priest who is proficient in light magic, and judging by his ability to cast low-level magic without chanting spells, the king's light magic cultivation is at least at the level of an archbishop

Father, what is this, who are these people, taking advantage of the gap between the king's spell on John, the prince asks his father, apparently he is not surprised that his father knows how to use light magic

The Prime Minister and Alex have joined forces to rebel against the child, how can you come to say anything else on the way to cast the spell, and the king's light magic has at least reached the level of the Purple Cardinal

A group of enemies of unknown origin took advantage of the thunderstorm to sneak attack the Griffin Cliff air cavalry squadron lost most of the loss, I took more than 30 brothers to break through the siege desperately, thinking that tonight I am afraid that something will happen, so I will rush to the palace immediately, by the way, Berg came over, the prince replied, while snapping his fingers to the knight named Berg who had just landed with him, when passing by the monastery where Wang Mei was studying, just now on the way to the palace, I saw many people attacking the monastery and kidnapping Sophia, I led the warriors to disappear, and these enemies rescued Sophia

It was His Highness Berg who walked over, and he was the only squad leader in the air cavalry squadron who had broken through with the prince, and it was only then that everyone noticed that Berg seemed to be carrying something like a gray burlap bag behind his back

There was a young cry from the father, and the cover of the gray sack, which was not supposed to be gray linen, was pulled open to reveal the frightened face of a little girl of seven or eight years old

Great, daughter, you are the biggest concern in the heart of your father, fortunately did not fall into the hands of those people, their conversation was only a few tens of seconds, the king not only completed the treatment of John, but also treated the other four soldiers under his command, but the scene of the melee changed subtly: some griffons suddenly fell to the ground from mid-air, the knights behind them were thrown down hard, and then the enemies who swarmed up chopped the knights into flesh, and some of the empty horses were directly shot down by the crossbowmen who stood firm

The father explained to the king that griffons were not meant to fly in the rain, and that their soaked feathers would make their bodies very heavy, and that they had become tired after prolonged flight and continuous high-intensity fighting

Indeed, as they spoke, the more than thirty griffons who had the upper hand just now were gradually losing their advantage, although they fell into chaos at the beginning of the blow, but these soldiers under Pan Alonda were all soldiers of a hundred battles, and their rich combat experience made them chaotic and unpanicked, and the coup soldiers who still had the advantage in numbers gradually gained a foothold and turned back the situation little by little, and more and more griffons and horsemen under the second prince were killed by crossbows and spears

Capture the thief first, capture the king, John Duncan, who had just recovered his fighting power, stepped forward and threw his long sword with all his strength towards Pan Alonda, who was protected by several soldiers dozens of meters away

The royal knight's sword swirled in the air, a coup soldier swung his sword to block it, but the whirling sword cut off the arm he was holding the sword, another soldier held a wooden shield to block the fierce sword, but he was split in half with the wooden shield; the sword remained undiminished, like a charging knight, he rushed to the target, and the prime minister who found the danger showed a frightened expression, a soldier rushed up to block the path of the sword, but after the sword penetrated him, he still rushed forward with the soldier's corpse; Another soldier stood in front of the prime minister, protecting his master with his body, but the sword was still strong after penetrating his body, and the sword with the corpses of two soldiers was pinned to Pan Alonda's body with unmistakable accuracy, and the three men were pierced on the same sword like a lamb skewer

Why...... On his deathbed, Pan Alonda spat out unwilling last words

The traitor leader Pan Alonda has been solemnly declared by Sir John Duncan to the two sides who are still fighting on the battlefield.
