Chapter 290: The Guilt of an Accomplice

readx;

"Of course, I'll go back as soon as I go!" the patrol cavalry walked briskly, and the cavalry who had patrolled outside the camp with him stood around Avi and Mills chatting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info There were also quite a few eloquent men among the thirty soldiers, and they all hooked up with the cavalry, calling each other brothers, as if they were really mercenaries who had escaped Mallot's death.

"Blindfold" leaned his mouth back to Avi's ear and whispered, "Don't try to do anything, I can kill you in a second, and then use your corpse to fend off the crossbow arrows that come at me." ”

Avi hadn't fully recovered from the shock just now, and the clothes on his back must have been cut by the sharp blade, otherwise his skin wouldn't feel cold. Although the "Divine Brake" can improve the reaction and speed in a few seconds, but the "Divine Brake" does not turn itself into a bird, nor does it turn itself into a rabbit, if you look at the reaction speed of "covering your eyes" just now, the chance of you to escape with this trick is almost zero, can you really only end up with this guy who plans to assassinate Prince Bradley?

After about ten minutes, some footsteps were heard from the corner of the camp tent in the distance, and the thirty soldiers behind the "blindfold" immediately retracted and looked ahead with full attention.

The patrol leader was walking briskly at the front, and besides him, there were Prince Bradley and Fenrir!

There weren't even any guards, Bradley and Fenrir walked straight out to greet Avi and Mills, who didn't look alert at all, Avi began to wink his eyebrows, trying to warn them with facial expressions, and began to slowly move his hand to the hilt of the white lion's sword.

But just as Bradley was twenty meters away, "Blindfold" suddenly whistled, he raised his right hand from behind Avi, put his right hand on Avi's shoulder, and a small crossbow arrow flew out of his right sleeve and shot at Bradley who was unsuspecting!

Avi used the "Divine Brake" at the same time, and he could clearly see the trajectory of the small crossbow arrow, but he couldn't stop it, and Avi immediately chose to draw the white lion sword. But Avi only pulled out a wooden sword, and the iron sword that should have been attached to the hilt of the sword turned into a piece of wood!

"Ahh

"It's the enemy!" Fenrir shouted, and the thirty sneak attackers disguised as mercenaries immediately drew their weapons and rushed towards Bradley. However, the patrol cavalry who were desperate to stand in the middle protected Prince Bradley, who seemed to be wounded, and Fenrir covered Bradley to retreat, and the soldiers who were sleeping in the tent rushed out at the sound of the sound, and in less than half a minute, they were in a mess.

The "blindfold" behind Avi died at the first time, so the thirty soldiers were like headless flies, launching an assault without any command at all. However, at this time, Prince Bradley had been heavily protected, and thanks to the patrol cavalry who sacrificed their lives to block the sneak attack team, they used their flesh as a shield to buy Prince Bradley time to retreat to the rear.

Avi picked up a weapon and joined the melee. The sneak attackers disguised as mercenaries were supposed to be selected elite soldiers, but they were quickly culled out, leaving only Avi and three wounded soldiers who were heavily surrounded.

"Stop, leave these people alive!" a heroic woman with sword eyebrows stood up, it was the female knight Gadia. Because Avi was mistaken for a sneak attacker by the other soldiers, he was crushed to the ground along with the three wounded sneak attackers and tied up firmly.

By the time Avi and the wounded soldiers were escorted into the Grand Prince's tent, it was an hour later, and all three soldiers were groaning from the pain of their wounds, and one of the less wounded men kept calling out "I surrender!" but whatever he shouted, the guards ignored it, and Avi saw the anger on the guards' faces, they must have hated the people who attacked Prince Bradley.

Gadia carried Avi herself, and Bradley was sitting in a wooden chair, his face a little pale, and his hands still bandaged.

"Prince Bradley..."

"Shut up! You dare to bring these ill-intentioned guys to the barracks to murder the prince! What a waste of our royal highness's kindness to save you in the first place! Do you know that because of you..." Fenrir was very angry, and before he could finish his words, he rushed up directly and slapped Avi hard. And by the time he was about to throw out his second palm, Bradley was already on his feet.

"Let me ask Avi first..."Bradley stood unsteadily, and Gadia and Fenrir both walked over quickly to support him, "It's not what you really mean to cover these sneak attackers disguised as mercenaries, are you being forced?"

There was a tear in the corner of Avi's eye, maybe it was a tear of pain, or it could be a tear of gratitude, "Prince Bradley... I... I know it's not convincing, but I've never thought of harming His Royal Highness!" Some words got stuck in his throat, "That's right, I was blackmailed by Heck to bring them..."

"If you just don't comply, or shout when you enter the barracks, don't be pretentious!" Fenrir slapped out one of Avi's teeth just now, and Avi, who was still dripping with blood from the corner of his mouth, did not resent Fenrir, because he really did not fulfill his promise to himself, and he must not put Prince Bradley in danger.

"If it weren't for His Royal Highness's quick reaction, that poisonous crossbow arrow would have killed His Highness," Gardia's tone didn't seem to blame anyone, "but even so, His Royal Highness was still seriously injured." ”

Avi was stunned, he looked at Bradley's bandaged left hand, and he suddenly found that there were only three fingers in the palm under the gauze!

"I believe in you. Bradley's eyes couldn't open properly, but he was still helping him to walk in front of Avi. But just as Avi opened his mouth to speak, Bradley passed out.

Avi, who was escorted back to the cage, realized that Bradley had not completely dodged the poisonous crossbow arrow. Brad used his hand to block the bolt, but his left index and middle fingers were wounded by the poisoned arrow. Bradley didn't hesitate at the moment, and directly drew Fenrir's sword, cutting off the two fingers that instantly turned blue-black. However, after the diagnosis of the military doctor, the decisive severed finger could not prevent a small amount of poison from burrowing into the prince's body, which made Bradley so weak. Bradley had just finished bandaging his finger and taking some antidotes and immediately summoned Avi, but he fell unconscious on the spot, it seems that those poisons are very toxic.

"Avi, among so many students of the Kestrel Academy, the one that our prince appreciates the most is you, a young man from the empire," Gadia's mood seemed to be able to remain stable forever, she was the only one who did not glare at Avi, "His Royal Highness the Prince once said that the Kestrel Academy is the future of the Kingdom of Salins, and only young people who have studied in the academy can change the Kingdom of Salins and become the pillars of the entire kingdom." Perhaps this is the reason why His Highness is still anxious to see you when he is weak, His Highness hopes that his judgment is correct, and you should be a trustworthy person. ”

Avi hung his head, he didn't expect Prince Bradley to walk up to "Cover His Eyes" unsuspectingly, and he didn't expect his sword to turn into a piece of wood. If it weren't for someone who killed "Blind" in the first place, he might have been able to watch Prince Bradley be killed by a second poisoned crossbow arrow.

"It's my incompetence that's causing it..."

Gadia sighed, "Prince Bradley is actually a generous person, since you personally admit that you were blackmailed, then His Royal Highness the Prince will definitely not hold you accountable, but as a subordinate of His Royal Highness the Prince, we will only regard His Highness's life as the most important thing," Avi noticed the eyes of the guards guarding the side, and those people were eager to immediately rush up and kill the four of them to vent their hatred, "Now we can only wait for His Royal Highness the Prince to wake up before dealing with it, you can rest first." The female knight put down some water and bread and left, leaving only Avi, who was locked alone in an iron cage, extremely guilty.

Not long after, the water bag with the water was picked up.

"If you don't drink it, I'll drink it. As soon as Avi looked up, Felisty was sitting next to the iron cage, her back against the iron bar, gulping down the bag of water, as if no one was around.

Avi looked around in a panic, there was a guard standing guard not far from the iron cage, but the guard seemed to treat Felistie as a transparent person, and just glared at Avi and didn't look at it again. The three injured sneak attackers were all asleep, and no one cared about the red-haired girl who was gulping water.

"Why are you here!

"I used magic on him, and he now thinks of me as the knightess," Felistie wiped the corners of her mouth with her slender white arm, "I infiltrated that squad when I was in Mallot, and I killed the Assassin captain just now, and saved you three times in one night, so you have to start thinking about how to repay me." ”

Avi didn't understand Felisti's words at first, but he soon realized that when he suddenly had the urge to attack "Cover His Eyes" on the road, one of the soldiers fell for no reason, and it was probably Felisti's small action.

However, Avi's guilt made him unable to accept Felisti's third rescue, "It was my fault that caused Prince Bradley to be poisoned and injured," Avi hugged his legs and looked at the fingers of his left hand, "If the prince dies because of the poisoning, then I will become an accomplice like those sneak attackers." ”

Felisty pinched the bread and struggled to break it in half, "Then I'll save you a third time, if those people really want to put you to death," the red-haired girl shoved half of the hard bread into Avi's mouth, "making you feel guilty about me too." ”
