Andy Lesden instinctively makes a reflex move. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
He protected the little prince in his arms with one hand, drew the long sword at his waist with the other, and used the little magic power left in his body to swing out the sword qi that cut off the situation.
"Really, don't be so nervous, I'm just here to warn you, not to be rough. β
Lin Yuan flickered and disappeared in his original position, and his figure appeared in the opposite direction.
The invisible sword qi fell into the air, and slashed into the distance.
Seeing that his attack was easily dodged, Lesden knew that in this high-speed moving environment, it would be difficult to hit the enemy, and the opponent had already prepared, and another attack would probably be avoided, even if his attack could ignore the defense, it would be useless to miss.
Lesden's eyes were fixed on Lin Yuan, and he kept urging the sitting war horse to speed up, he must get rid of the enemy as soon as possible.
The four guards on the outside took out their magic weapons together, and then attacked Lin Yuan, who was following them closely.
A towering earthen wall rose from the ground, and a shining light erupted, and a thick smoke obscured the vision, and a loud noise suddenly rang out.
The only purpose of the personal guard knight was to block Lin Yuan's footsteps, so that Lesden, who was protecting the prince, would take advantage of this gap and leave the other party's line of sight.
They can even sacrifice their lives for the sake of the Sebailan royal family, and they will not hesitate to die after the death.
It's just that their actions are doomed to be in vain.
"I said, Sword Saint of the Sky, I came here with good intentions, let your subordinates stop, it's useless anyway, do you say?"
Lin Yuan, who should have been surrounded by obstructed magic, was still floating on Lesden's head, looking fine.
Seeing that even the other party couldn't stop him for a second, Lesden's heart sank, his current magic power and physical strength were not much, in order to escape under the attack of strategic magic, he paid a lot of price, and now his combat power was not perfect, and it was difficult to deal with this sudden enemy.
"As for the enemy, now, I have no hostility towards you, and I will not harm you. β
Sensing Lesden's thoughts, Lin Yuan used a soft smile to show his kindness.
Lesden certainly wasn't naΓ―ve enough to trust his opponent and instead allowed his mount to pick up further and try to get away from him.
However, he also had doubts in his heart.
When the other party came, none of them noticed it at all, and if it weren't for the other party's sudden opening, they would probably still be in the dark.
Moreover, it was clear that the other party had the opportunity, but he did not attack them, and he did not attack them until now, which also made Lesden puzzled.
It's just that when the other party claims to be the emperor of the Kaos Empire, no matter what the other party's identity is, it is impossible for him to contact the other party.
Naturally, he would not believe that the other party was the founding emperor, and the king of a country came to this place alone to pursue them, the defeated who had escaped, such a ridiculous thing, as long as the people who were still sane would not do it.
"Anyway, I'm here to warn you not to go to the north again, and if you go to that country, you'll only become experiments, a living strategic-level magister, but the Vientiane Research Society dreams of. β
Lin Yuan didn't pay much attention to Lesden's thoughts, and he continued to speak to himself.
"I understand why you are going to the north, there are still cities that have not yet been conquered, which can be used for supplies, after all, the land in the south has been occupied, and there is an impassable barrier on the east and west sides, and you have no choice, so I am here to open up the net and give you a new chance. β
Lesden frowned tightly, he could vaguely feel that the other party was not lying.
"I don't think you will go to the west, the Tiberion Empire and the Seven Duchies are still at war, even if you flee to wherever you go, you will only be used as a gun, then, I will let you pass through the east, and when you get there, you will have more choices, a strategic magister has a very high value no matter where you are." β
Even if Lesden didn't want to listen to the other person, that clear voice would come to his ears.
"Actually, you are still quite clever, you don't plan to gather the troops of the remaining cities that have not been captured, you know that in the absence of a strategic-level magister, it is impossible to stop the army of the Kaos Empire, and the power that this country can use has just been wiped out by strategic-level magic, even if the power of dozens of cities in the north is concentrated, it will not help, fundamentally speaking, it will not be able to integrate a powerful army, not to mention that in this environment, whether the officials in those cities will help you is also a problemγ β
Lesden had been unable to get rid of the other man, and could only listen to the words of the heart, and the mount began to pant because of the long and rapid gallop, and the speed slowed down.
With a faint sigh, he signaled to the four knights of the Guard, and then he slowed his run, allowing his mount to come to a slow halt.
Lesden turned over and dismounted, and handed the reins of the horse to the knights of the guards who had caught up, and asked them to keep the little prince Anns safe.
β...... Your Excellency, what is the matter with us? β
Lesden looked up at Lin Yuan, who was floating not far from both sides.
Lin Yuan smiled slightly and fell to the ground.
At this time, the four knights of the guards protected Prince Ans and rode away at full speed, although they knew that Lin Yuan might be able to catch up easily, but they would not give up any opportunity, they could not put the prince in danger.
In order to allow the prince to leave the other party, Lesden voluntarily stopped, guessing that the young man in front of him was likely to target him, a strategic magus who could change the situation of the war, at a time when the threat was higher than that of the fleeing royal bloodline.
For the sake of the promise with his old friend, and for the bloodline of the royal family to be preserved, even if he does not have the strength to fight, he must use himself to block the other party's advance.
He knew very well that there was only one other strategic magus who dared to face the strategic magister, and he would most likely die here.
Not on the battlefield, but in a place where no one knows.
But he doesn't regret it, no matter what happens, as long as what he wants to protect is safe.
"Why so pessimistic? I'm really just here to warn you, and to give you permission to pass through the Engay Forest. β
Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head, Lesden's pessimistic thoughts, he didn't even need to watch the other party's thinking, but it could be seen from his expression.
"Pick this thing up, and if you want to pass through the Engais Forest, you must carry it with you. β
Lin Yuan took out six small round wooden cards, which were palm-sized wooden cards, with abstract patterns like eyes on both sides.
"These amulets can only be used once, and once they pass through the Forest of Ngai, they will be invalidated, so don't think about using them to help others break through the Enchanted Forest, that will only make them never come back. β
Lin Yuan did not approach Lesden, he threw the six small signs in his hand at the feet of the other party from a distance of several meters.
"Of course, I don't have any evidence to confirm the effectiveness of these things, maybe it's just a lie, the bad deception that made you die in the Forest of No Return, it's okay if you don't believe it, I'm just giving you one more choice, to escape from the mortal situation. β
Out of the corner of his eye, Lesden glanced at the small wooden sign that had landed at his feet, but he didn't rush to pick them up in the face of such a close enemy.
He wasn't worried that these were some kind of explosive props, he didn't feel any of the characteristics of the props on the wooden cards, these things were obviously just ordinary items, maybe props used by the other party to distract him.
"I'm done with everything I have to do, so I'll leave like this, and then you can do whatever you want, but I advise you, don't enter the Kingdom of Kenesia casually, or you will bear the consequences. β
Lin Yuan waved his hand at the motionless man in front of him, preparing to teleport away.
Lesden couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the other party's increasingly faint figure.
"You...... Is it really just a reminder?" he couldn't help but say the doubts in his heart.
Lin Yuan stopped teleporting, and his figure returned to the truth, he made a helpless look and spread his hands.
"If I really wanted to kill you, I wouldn't need so much nonsense. β
Although Lesden didn't feel any kindness on the other side, the other party also did not release hostility, and in the face of their repeated attacks, he only avoided them one by one and did not fight back.
He couldn't guess what the other party was thinking, and he didn't know what the other party's purpose was.
β...... May I ask a question?"
"Say, what is it?" Lin Yuan nodded indifferently.
Lesden took a light breath.
"Your Majesty the King, he ...... What's wrong?"
Lin Yuan didn't seem to be able to see the other party's painful expression, so he answered without thinking about it.
"Dead, dead clean, dead with no bones. β
He paused, a mischievous look in his eyes.
By the way, the king actually committed suicide himself, and in order to prevent the negative changes that had happened in him from affecting the inhabitants of the capital, and all 1.5 million people were hung up, he chose to cut himself off. β
He smiled happily.
"It's a little embarrassing to say that the person who has pushed the king to such a point is none other than himself. β
That's the difference between lightning and fire.
Before the crisp sound of the sword sounded, the sword light came first.
Lesden instantly crossed the distance of several meters between the two sides, used the remaining strength of his body, and unleashed a killing blow.
So, he slashed and killed the other without any obstacles.
Lin Yuan maintained a smile on his face, and three-quarters of his head was cut off obliquely from right to left.
The liver and brain smeared the ground, and blood and brain plasma sprayed out of the fracture, staining the nearby grass red.
Half of Lesden's body was also stained with the blood of the enemy.
Lesden, who had delivered this blow, exhausted the last of his strength, and used his long sword as a support, half-kneeling on the grass.
Friend, I have avenged you......
In the blood-scented breeze, he sighed deeply.
