Chapter 01: Escape from the Imperial Capital

The whole of Arantis is in complete chaos.

Some of the people who broke out with the people of the Blood Yao Academy were killed by the pursuing punishment knights, and some people took advantage of the chaos to escape through the alleys, leaving only the people of the Blood Yao Academy still together.

The chasing Punishment Knight also kept an eye on everyone and chased after them, and the strength of support continued to increase.

"We can't run like this anymore, we have to disperse and escape!" "Professor Ogu, who had been dragging behind the last hall, whispered.

"We listen to the professor!" Arthur and Golly responded.

"Find an intersection in front of me, and I'll hold off the pursuers for a while, and then Joan will follow Arthur, and the rest will follow Professor Elaine. ”

"Why are we separated?" said Arthur, looking a little dissatisfied.

"Are you stupid? You two are the real targets of the Punishment Knight, and we are implicated by you!"

Professor Aqua's angry scolding embarrassed Arthur, but he still asked uninterestingly, "Then how do we meet?"

"Don't meet! Leave us alone, if you can escape alive, you can go anywhere, don't go back to Isaac for the time being!"

Arthur and Joan looked at each other, neither of them speaking.

There was a cross street in front of him, and Professor Ogu stopped, and the others followed suit, and the punishment knight behind him chased after him in an instant.

Professor Ogu hurriedly shouted, "Nini, the raging sea!"

For the first time, Arthur's "Heart of the Blue Sea" that Arthur auctioned for Nini at the auction was revealed, and with the urging of magic, countless seawater spurted out of the magic array, setting off a monstrous wave in front of Nini, and slapping wildly towards the chasing Punishment Knight.

When the waves were rising high and completely blocking the view of the pursuers, Professor Ogu scolded fiercely: "You two bastards, don't get out of here!"

Arthur and Joan bowed to Professor Agu before turning and running down the street to the left.

The waves set off by the eighth-level water magic filled half of the street, slapping all the pursuing Punishment Knights in the water, and constantly retreating with the impact of the current.

When the water receded, almost all of the Punishment Knights were lying staggered in the street, most of their bodies still submerged in the water.

"Elaine, you take the other students to run the other way, and I'll stop them for a while. If possible, go to the Darkforest Academy in the Kingdom of Kildan, they should help us. ”

"And what do you do?"

"You guys go quickly, don't worry about me, no one can stop me if I want to get out. Professor Ogu urged impatiently.

Elaine and Golly ran away as fast as they could, leaving Professor Ogu alone and standing alone at the corner of the street.

......

Arthur and Joan quickly turned into an alley, temporarily hiding themselves in the shadow between the corners of the two houses.

Joan took out two sets of city guard uniforms from the space ring like a trick, "Change your clothes first." ”

"Where did you get that?"

"I asked for it from Spence before, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today. ”

"I see that you don't seem to have a good relationship with Spence?"

"It's mainly a matter of the previous generation, so I'll explain it to you when I have a chance. Joan didn't seem to want to say more.

"We'll be back to the grocery store in Nino, Hotel Street, which should be safe there. ”

Joan uncharacteristically disagreed, "No, we'll get out of town now." If Southtown is still in Spence's hands, he should be able to let us out. ”

Arthur nodded, "You're right, I didn't expect His Royal Highness to join forces with the Church of Light, and if we stay in the city longer, the two of us will indeed be more auspicious." ”

When there was no movement in the street in the distance, Arthur and Joan emerged from the alley and headed straight for the south gate.

Because of the uniform of the city guard, the road was much smoother, and there was no interception and interrogation by the knights, even if they ran into the rout of the two coalition forces, the other party only cared about fleeing for their lives and had no time to deal with the two of them.

When the two of them approached the south gate, it was already nearly dawn. The battle near the city gate suddenly became fierce, and countless officers and soldiers of the Northland Legion and the Kingdom of Bardos were desperately storming the city gate.

The tall and heavy city gate was closed, and on the high platform in front of the city gate, it was the Grand Duke Amaya, the commander of the city guards, who personally commanded the battle, while Spence, the deputy commander who originally guarded the southern city, did not know where to go.

In front of the city gate, it has become the most tragic battlefield in the imperial capital after the outside of the imperial palace, and the defeated coalition army did not expect that the way to escape back was blocked, and only by desperately recapturing the city gate could there be a way to live, otherwise they would all be buried in the city, so the wave after wave of impact was particularly tragic.

The city guards, with Grand Duke Amaya in charge and superior in numbers, kept control of the city gates firmly in their hands, although they paid a heavy price in casualties.

"We definitely can't get out of the city gate, let's get out of here first, and then find a way. Joan said with a dejected expression.

Arthur pulled Joan, "Come with me, let's avoid the gates and find a place in the middle of the city wall where the guards are weak." ”

Joan stared at Arthur like an idiot, "Don't tell me to climb over, don't talk about the city guards above, don't forget that I'm a magician, this wall is fifty meters high, I can't go up!"

"Come on, I'll carry you up. Arthur half-jokingly grabbed Joan's waist tightly, preventing him from struggling to sweep toward the middle of the wall.

Hundreds of meters later, Arthur swept higher and higher, his body completely off the ground and volleyed into the air, staggering towards the city.

"Fly, why did you fly?" exclaimed Joan excitedly in the air.

"Archmage Austin is a bit of a bad temper, but he's a nice man, and he threw me a magic ring with the word "Flying" on it when he left the chamber. Arthur triumphantly held out the ring on his other hand to Joan.

Because of the weight of two people, the two people rose very slowly, and there was some shaking during the flight, and it took a while to rise above the height of the city wall.

Arthur was still proud, Joan was enjoying the feeling of flying, when suddenly there was a sound of breaking the air, and a crossbow arrow more than three meters long shot at the two of them with a neck wind.

Arthur shuddered with fear, if he was shot by a crossbow arrow, he would definitely be pierced. Because of the fright, the two of them fell more than ten meters at once, and they dodged the arrow by mistake.

At the same time, the shouts of the city guards sounded on the city wall, "Someone flew up, crossbow arrows aim, archers scattered!"

"You killed me, find a way!"

Arthur complained to Joan while carefully controlling the rapid rise of the wind circle, "I control the magic circle with one hand and hold you with the other, you are a magician, you should think of a way." ”

Arthur reminded Joan, who pulled out the magic scroll from the ring, and a large cloud of fire fell towards the city.

Although the fire cloud blocked the scattered bows and arrows, it couldn't stop the huge crossbow arrows that were firing vigorously, and several crossbow arrows grazed the bodies of the two people one after another.

Because of the dodging of the two people's bodies shaking violently in the air, and another oncoming crossbow arrow, Arthur's body was crooked, and the two fell to the ground outside the city......
