More than a hundred miles north of Nice there is a hill, the hill is not large, no more than two or three hundred steps in circumference, and it is densely covered with evergreen pine trees, and even in late autumn, the hill is still full of green. But it was such an ordinary little hill, but it had become very lively for a few days, and here an army of more than two thousand men had gathered here, and the whole hill was surrounded by troops, and there were even griffons flying and patrolling the sky.

Although there was silence in the dense forests of the hills, the surrounding armies moved frequently, as if they were facing a great enemy. In a clearing under the hill, there were many corpses, and judging from the scars on the corpses, most of them were not sword wounds, but burns and frostbite. It can be seen that there had been fierce battles here before, and the people in the encirclement used terrible magic, causing heavy casualties to the army outside, so although the encirclement of the army is still tight at this moment, they all keep a certain distance from the pine forest and dare not approach easily, it seems that there are monsters hidden inside that can be pounced on at any time.

"Da Da Da!"

The crisp sound of horses' hooves was heard, and a small squad of cavalry rushed over from the road to the south.

"Who is here?"

When he saw the cavalry, a soldier immediately greeted him and asked.

"Templar Sally, let your head come to me. ”

A large man on horseback replied loudly. Hearing that it was a member of the Holy See, the soldiers did not dare to slack off, and immediately went to report to the chief.

"See Lord Sully, the Grand Prince Lawrence is hiding in this hill, there are more than a hundred people in total, after four days of fighting, most of them have been killed, and only more than twenty people are still resisting. However, the old guy's magic was so powerful that our men rushed in and were repulsed several times, and even lost a high-ranking swordsman. ”

The generals of the army surrounding the hill hurried over to salute and give an account of the situation.

It turned out that the caravan sent by the Earl of Longley to pick up the eldest prince four days ago was stopped in the north of Nice, and the whereabouts of the eldest prince were also discovered, and the caravan could only choose to break through. The city guard of Nice personally led a wing to encircle the caravan on this small hill. The people in the caravan were all masters, and with the great magician Fama Ix, although there was no hope of breaking through, he could still keep twenty times the enemy under the hill for two days.

The guard had the intention of taking the credit for capturing the Great Prince, but in two days, more than 500 people were killed and wounded, including his deputy, a high-ranking swordsman was electrocuted alive by lightning magic, but they didn't even see the face of the target Great Prince. As a result, the guards had to turn to the Holy See for help, and Raphael, who had received the news, sent his own head of the guard, the Templar Sully, to help. Sally first rode the griffon to the city of Nice, and then led by the defenders to the bottom of the hill where the Grand Prince was.

"Is the eldest prince still inside?"

Sally asked, pointing to the pine forest in front of him.

"We surrounded the hills with water so that not even a fly could fly out. ”

The Keeper said with great confidence.

"Good. Send someone over and persuade them to come out and surrender, or I will go in and kill them without a piece of armor. ”

Sally patted the long sword at his waist and ordered with a sneer.

"Fama Ques, don't be stubborn, hand over the eldest prince Lawrence, we can spare you, ah..."

A loud soldier came to the edge of the pine forest and shouted inside, but his shouting came to an abrupt halt halfway through, and an invisible blade of wind swept across his neck, leaving his head tilted to death.

"Humph!"

But just in this moment, Sally had already keenly judged the location of the magician in the pine forest, and his figure had already drawn his big sword and rushed in first.

"Brothers, kill with me!"

With the great swordsman in front, the morale of the Yuss army was greatly shaken, and under the command of the guard, they followed the back of Sally and rushed into the pine forest, and the sound of fierce fighting spirit collision and wounded screams immediately sounded in the pine forest.

A quarter of an hour later, a violent tremor of a pine tree somewhere on the hill followed a round, earthy yellow shield flew out of it, carrying two figures to the northwest.

"It's not good, Fama Ques is going to run away with the eldest prince. ”

As soon as the earthy yellow shield appeared, it was spotted by the griffon knight who was watching the movement of the pine forest from the air. At the same time, a figure leaped from the pine forest and landed on the treetops, none other than the Templar Sully.

"You stay and continue the search, and I will go after them. ”

Sully beckoned to the griffin knight, and the griffin flew over, and the knight above jumped down, and he flew up to the griffon's back, speeding towards the earthy yellow shield. At the same time, a cavalry detachment was also formed on the ground to chase in the direction where Famakos had fled.

"Master X, don't struggle uselessly, as long as you are willing to hand over the Great Prince, I can spare you from dying. ”

The speed of the earthy yellow shield is not fast, the griffin soon approached, Sally sat on the back of the griffin, looking at Fama X, who was controlling the tired escape, the old magician's image at this time was a little embarrassed, a magic robe was tattered, and there were many blood stains on it, I don't know if it was the old magician's own or someone else's, next to him, the eldest prince lay motionless on the magic array, I don't know whether he is dead or alive.

"I don't believe you. ”

The old magician also seemed to realize that he was at his end, so he was a little moved by Sully's persuasion.

"Don't worry, I swear to the God of Light that as long as Famakos hands over the Grand Prince Lawrence, I will let him go immediately, or I will die and my soul will fall to hell forever. ”

Sally tried to speak as loudly as he could, as if to tell Fama Lux, the god of light in the heavens, to hear it clearly, without doubt.

As if seeing Sally's sincerity, Fama Ax hesitated for a moment, and the magic array began to descend in height and came to a halt in a clearing next to a grove.

When the magic array stopped, the tall body of the old magician staggered down, and after four days of fighting, not only was his mental power exhausted, but even his physical strength was on the verge of overdraft.

"Vettels, it's not that I don't want to help Lawrence, it's that the tide is over, and I can't do anything about it. I'm sorry!"

The old magician looked up at the sky, and his pale blue eyes were full of pain:

"The eldest prince will hand it over to you, and I'll go. ”

With that, Fama Ax left the magic circle and walked in the direction of the woods with his wand. Behind him, Sully jumped off the griffon's back and took two steps to the magic circle.

"Wait!"

Sally only glanced at the person lying on the magic array and felt that something was wrong, this person had no breath on his body, such as breathing and heartbeat, it was clearly a corpse, if this was the corpse of the great prince, there was no need for the people in the hill to desperately protect it, he turned back to look for the trace of Fama X, but found that the old magician not only did not stop, but increased his speed.

"I've got the old magician's plan. ”

Sully hated in his heart, he took off the longbow behind his back and shot an arrow.

"Whoosh!"

Fama Kos turned around and used his residual spiritual power to release an air shield magic to block the incoming arrows, but the arrows blessed by the great swordsman's fighting spirit pierced through the air shield, and even burst the magic crystal at the top of his wand, and then hit him in the shoulder, and the huge force took his tall body back two steps, and finally pinned him to the trunk of the tree with a "tuk".

"Tell me, where is the eldest prince, and I'll give you a good time. ”

Sally walked up to Fama Ax and said with a hideous expression.

"The eldest prince has long since fled, and I don't know where he is. Haha..."

Fama Quex grinned, but blood poured out of his mouth.

"Looks like you're trying to suffer a little more. ”

Sally smiled and raised his long sword, and was about to strike at the old magician, when suddenly a voice came from behind him:

"Put down your sword, or I promise you will die without a place to bury. ”

The sound was like thunder in the sky, rolling in, with endless sadness and anger.
