Chapter 118: Border Disputes
"Don't be afraid, just flee to the orc kingdom and we will be saved?"
"Mother, why is this all of a sudden, we don't want to live in that filthy orc country, why are we going?"
"Don't ask why, remember, you have to live."
A carriage, escorted by several knights, crossed the Red River Plain all the way to the orc kingdom, and a somewhat fat mother sat in the carriage with her youngest son in her arms, and from time to time lifted the curtain to look at the eldest son outside.
There was no danger along the way, although the Church of Light set many barriers, but with the relationship of some old friends of her husband, the family finally left the Cretan Empire, as long as they crossed the Red River Plain, they were safe, and the people of the Menkaure Kingdom would come to meet them.
A group of knights in armor that exuded light passed through the small towns on the border of the Cretan Empire, following the trail all the way, they had not rested for two days and nights, and the horses that stepped down had still reached the limit when one person and two horses were riding.
"Quick, quick, they're not far from us, be sure to catch them before they escape into the orc realm."
The horses that spewed the scorching breath, all the horses quickly whipped their horses, quickly crossed the avenue, and rushed all the way out of the city along the ramp, and when they saw the signs on the horses and knights, the soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to stop them in the slightest, and everyone stood up straight and watched them go away.
All the way along the Red River, through the bullying plains, and finally above the skyline, they saw the convoy in the distance fleeing in panic, and the scouts of the Knights of Light who had been running for two days in a row, all of them had ecstatic expressions on their faces.
The convoy fleeing in the distance also found the cavalry in the sky, and everyone whipped their horses in horror, trying to distance themselves from the pursuers behind them, and the mother in the carriage got out of the carriage with her young son in her arms at this time, and shouted frantically for her eldest son Pazaka.
"Pazaka, borrow, you run quickly, cross the line in front, it's the orc country, you hurry up and run with little Aaron!"
Evans's wife stuffed the package in her arms into her youngest son's arms, and then handed little Aaron to her eldest son, Pazaka, who wore a sound of armor and took his younger brother Aaron and looked at his mother.
"And what do you do?"
The mother was very anxious, and panicked madly urged Pazaka: "It's too late, I can't escape, you can escape one by one, the package in your arms is a treasure in exchange for benefits, remember to be sure to give it to the king of the kingdom of Menkaure, don't trust anyone else." ”
"Hurry up, leave me alone, take care of your brother."
Pazaka looked at the cavalry trail that appeared behind him, and he had already begun to approach him, and immediately his heart was crossed, holding Aaron, who was constantly crying, pulling the reins hard, and frantically fleeing towards the border of the Kingdom of Menkaure.
When the scouts of the Knights of Light approached, they only saw a few servants who were delaying time, and when several cavalry rushed over, the long swords were unsheathed, and blood flew sideways, and they all died before they could withstand even a single round.
The curtain of the carriage was opened, but only the body of a woman who had died was found inside: "It's Evans's wife, the holy sword is not here, and it was taken away by the two people just now." ”
"If you chase further, you will already enter the territory of the Kingdom of Menkaure, which will provoke a dispute between the orcs and the human kingdom, should we continue to chase?"
All the Scout Knights looked at the Captain, waiting for him to make an idea, and the Captain immediately made a gesture: "Chase, no matter what, you must recover the Holy Sword." ”
Pazaka rode a horse across the border of the Kingdom of Menkaure, and the huge stone monument erected on the border already represented that he had entered the territory of the Kingdom of Menkaure, and he originally thought that he was safe, but he did not expect that the pursuers behind him would not care about the disputes between the orcs and humans, and directly broke into the border of the Kingdom of Menkaure, and chased here.
"Whew!"
The sharp arrow, with a strong sound of breaking wind, instantly crossed a distance of more than 100 meters, penetrated Pazaka's shoulder, and shot him off the horse, and the horse was carried down by the sudden stagnation and inertia, and fell to the ground.
The Scout Cavalry quickly approached, struggling to get up on his stomach, pulling his younger brother to run, but no one could outrun the horses, and they were the military horses that had been bred by the Knights of Light.
The scout's long sword was unsheathed, and his eyes were all cast on the two who fled for their lives, like a goshawk in the sky on top of the meat rabbit on the ground, and everyone showed a cold and murderous gaze.
At this time, there was movement on the hillside in front, as a leopard cavalry appeared on the hillside, more and more cavalry began to emerge, and at the high place in front, a long horizontal line was discharged, densely packed, and a large number of heads were clustered behind.
The horsemen pulling their horses and holding their heads high on the hillside shouted: "Stop, human cavalry, this is the territory of the kingdom of Menkaure, not the place where you humans should come. ”
As if he had seen a savior, Pazaka ran up the hillside, took out a badge, and shouted: "I am a friend of the Banu Menkaure, from the House of Evans of the Cretan Empire. ”
The leader of the leopardmen, dressed in chain mail and helmets, glanced at Pazaka, nodded, and saw that the cavalry above had made way of a gap and let them pass through to the rear, indicating that they had accepted them.
And the scout cavalry of the Bright Knight Legion were all pale, and everyone recognized the identity of this army, the Hurricane Knights of the Menkaure Kingdom, although not all of them came, but as the elite of the Menkaure Kingdom, they could not have appeared here so coincidentally, they were here to pick up these people.
The captain immediately stepped forward, he didn't speak Soffolk language, and spoke directly to the other party in the human language of Finx: "Cavalry from the Kingdom of Menkaure, we are members of the Knights of Light of the Church of Light, do you know that what you are hiding is a traitor of the Church of Light, they have stolen the treasures of the Church of Light, and your actions now are like declaring war on the Church of Light." ”
The leader of the Hurricane Knights did not expect that the people of the Knights of Light had broken into the territory of the Menkaure Kingdom without permission, and it was already a humiliation that they did not order them all to be killed, and they even dared to provoke themselves, what did they think of here.
The leader raised his head, and his fanged mouth spitted out, and let out a concussive roar: "Get out! Or die! ”
The captain of the cavalry reconnaissance team only held the long sword, the green tendons in his hands burst out, and the dozen or so proud knights of light behind him were also furious, but there were only a dozen of them, and the other party came with a whole formation, hundreds of people, and it was absolutely impossible for them to have a chance of winning.
"Let's go, let's go back."
