Chapter 42: Paying the Price
"Stop him..."
A sword qi slashed, leaving a corpse in the direction of the speaker, split into two, dripping with blood. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It's the same way as Pinna, but Pinna is doing it for the sake of bluffing, and Bai Qi is obviously just impatient.
"No, waste my time again."
The dark green eyes were dyed with a hint of scarlet, and the knife flashed instantly, like a butterfly dancing lightly among the flowers, but not to eat nectar, but to take life......
"Whew!"
Like a swift wind, like flowing water, Bai Qi shuttled through the army quickly and smartly, and no one could stop his steps, because no one could catch his sword.
The graceful steps, the free movements, and the gorgeous and flawless countenance were more like flying and playing than killing, but the white armor was gradually dyed a new red, dazzling and chilling.
And then, the Empire? The army finally retreated.
I don't know when, in the direction of Itarica, an unmanned passage appeared.
The blade was aimed at the scabbard on Pinna's waist, and the knife was put back into the sheath, Bai Qi stepped on the ground, and rushed towards Itarica like a low-altitude flight, and came to the city wall, and with a slight leap of inertia, the light body fell into the city wall with Pinna on his back.
Itarika's city walls, which were knocked away by Bai Qi before, are now in the midst of a weakened city defense, and it stands to reason that it is the best time to attack the city.
However, the Empire? The few remaining aristocratic officers in the army looked at each other several times, and then unanimously decided to retire.
There is no grass and no food, the military supply has been cut off, only half of the 20,000 elites are now left, and the morale has also dropped to the lowest point, and there is still the first person in the mainland in the city who can't touch the bottom line at all, and the reinforcements of the Jade Holy Kingdom and the Federal Kingdom are not far away......
Why, what should have been a pie-in-the-sky thing, suddenly became such an embarrassing situation?
Imperial? The army withdrew in disarray, but the defenders in the city did not have time to cheer, but confronted Bai Qi in a tight battle.
Just sent away 20,000 empires? Jun, now that even the Son of Heaven of Jade is here, is Itarica offending the gods this year?
"What are you doing, don't you put down your weapons quickly, the Emerald Holy Kingdom is a friend of my Aehris Kingdom, not to mention that His Majesty the Holy Son of Heaven has just saved our lives, how can you be rude?"
Liliana strode over, with a bit of obvious excitement in her stern voice, others only thought she was happy to see Pinna rescued, but only Liliana herself knew, just seeing that familiar figure, in her heart was already uncontrollable surging emotions.
"Your Majesty the Son of Heaven, Gui'an, Knight Liliana, extend my most sincere greetings to you!"
So, when Pinna woke up from her slumber in a daze, it was noon on the second day.
"Uh-huh... Lilian... Na, good morning..."
Pinna, who was still in chaos with squinting eyes, was suddenly slashed on the head with a knife.
"Bang!"
"Ahh
A violent tremor made Her Royal Highness the princess, who was still in a daze, wake up instantly, because of the pain and sudden fright, the red eyes were stained with mist, but it did not prevent her from seeing the delicate and beautiful face in front of her, but it was inexplicably terrifying.
Bai Qi had a 'warm' smile on his face, and behind him, the always neat and dashing knight Ji Liliana was shrinking with a strained face, trying to lower her sense of existence, and handed her lord a helpless look of pity.
"Does it hurt?"
Bai Qi's deliberately soft voice was extremely gentle, but it made Pinna's hair stand on end.
"Aha, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt..."
Pinna laughed dryly while desperately asking Liliana for help, she had been friends for four years, and she could still see when Bai Qi was really angry.
Not caring about Pinna's small movements, Bai Qi slowly raised his hand, and then under Pinna's pitiful pleading expression that was enough to make the most cold-blooded butcher put down the butcher's knife, he slashed down with another hand.
This strength is obviously more than twice as strong as the first time! (Is this still called not caring?) )
"Whew!"
"Now, does it hurt?"
Bai Qi said with a smile, and there seemed to be a smile in his 'gentle' eyes, but it made Pinna nod sadly.
"It hurts."
"I know that the pain is still messing around, I don't think the last time I was chased and killed was not exciting enough, right?"
Bai Qi 'smiled' and pressed Pingna's cute head, and pressed his five fingers 'gently' hard.
"Pain Pain Pain Headache Headache Hurry Go, I'm Wrong, I'm Wrong, I'm Sorry!!"
......
Half a quarter of an hour later, Pinna lay on the bed with tears in her eyes, Bai Qi snorted coldly, and walked out of the door silently.
"Whew, I'm scared to death..."Pinna burst into tears.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess......"
Liliana resisted the urge to laugh and shook her head helplessly: "Anyway, you're too unproductive. ”
"Can you blame me? Didn't you see that Qi Du was so angry? Don't you also coax, stand aside and dare not say a word. ”
"Ahem, this, when His Majesty Bai Qi is angry, it is indeed quite scary."
Bai Qi stayed in Itarica for another day, and then set off for the Emerald City.
After all, it's the lord of another country, and it's reasonable to pass by by to save a friend, but if you stay in the territory of another country for a long time without saying hello, it's not appropriate in any way.
Of course, more importantly, Cecilia has sent news that the information collection of people from other worlds has achieved results.
Before leaving, standing on the city wall, Bai Qi patted Pinna's little head.
"Girl, this world is very cruel. Not all effort is rewarded, and not all kindness can be understood.
Show your softness to those who understand you, and as for others, your hardness when necessary...
After all, I don't always come up just in time to save you...... Take care of yourself, Pinna! ”
A close relative with the same blood flowing in her body wants to kill her by any means, but Bai Qi, who is an enemy to some extent, cares for her like the kindest elder and asks her.
Pinna nodded vigorously and sniffed, not knowing why her eyes were a little sour.
"There are important things to deal with in the country, so I will leave first."
"Take care, pray."
"Well, you too."
There has never been a complicated communication process, but the friendship between the two is inexplicably deepened, perhaps, this is the so-called gentleman's friendship is as light as water?
The horses tapped forward at the speed of a walk, and one of the guards approached Bai Qi.
"Your Majesty, as you expected, there is an empire in the southwest? The army is advancing towards Itarica, and the border defenders of the Federal Kingdom are directly allowed to pass, and there is no blocking action at all, and the preliminary judgment is that the number of troops is about 300,000, and it is predicted that it will arrive in Itarica in three days. ”
"Pinna of flowers, plus the Holy Son of Heaven of the Jade Holy Country, there are only one or two thousand defenders on Itarika's side, such a big bait, even if it is just a chance of luck, the Holy Empire will not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
As for the Federal Kingdoms, hmph, can you let the first wave of empires go? When the army is in turmoil, it won't care if it is left alone, after all, if you can solve me, it will definitely be beneficial to the kingdom.
Besides, whether it can be done or not, it will once again provoke the hatred between the Emerald Holy Kingdom and the Holy Empire, and if it is done properly, it is also possible to directly make the two countries go to war, so why not? ”
Bai Qi turned his head sideways, and saw Du Jia who was frowning and trying to understand what he meant, but finally his face was confused, he shook his head amusefully and touched her hair.
"Don't think about it if you don't understand, you're really suitable for being naïve all the time."
would actually think of letting a forest elf with a pure nature take over the throne, Bai Qi felt that he was also confused, and it was really best to go with the flow, right?
"In any case, if the Holy Empire dares to raise their weak blades against me, they must have the consciousness of being cut off from the flesh and bones.
Convey my intentions to the Marquis of Triumph, let the Holy Empire pay the price it deserves, and besides, I don't want to have an empire when I am in a confrontation with the forces of another world? The army is making trouble on the side.
Flies are not a threat, but if they appear in front of me all the time, they will bother me. ”
