Chapter 123: Distress
Just as the young imperial guard stabbed through the body of a "St. Martin" knight again with his handguard stabbing sword, he suddenly heard a powerful shout from behind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Stop, you despicable villains!" it was no one else, none other than Myer, the "Karakuri Mercenary".
He leapt out of a corner and struck the young Imperial guard in the back of the heart with his Flame Empire two-handed sword, who turned with swift cross footwork and used his handguard to stab his sword to defuse the full force of the attack. Salian also had to secretly admire his strength, the slashing power of the Empire's two-handed sword was second to none on the mainland, and this imperial guard not only had enough strength, but also had a combined movement. In a flash of lightning, he blocked the two-handed sword with the sturdy part of the spine closest to the gauntlet.
"Who dares to stop us and other imperial guards from chasing fugitives!"
"I haven't seen any normal hunting down here, you are slaughtering, the 'Knights of St. Martin' is a well-known charitable organization on the mainland. Meyer said-for-tat.
"Hmph, we have a double edict from His Majesty the King and Pope Sixlo IV, who declared the 'Knights of St. Martin' heretical, and all of them will be immediately arrested for blasphemy, and those who resist will be killed!"
"I don't know what kings and popes I am, but I will never allow you to kill innocents indiscriminately!"
The two were also engaged in fierce attack and defense during the conversation, and Salian, who had not yet used his full strength, knew that his opponent was also testing him.
The remaining members of the knight order were shocked when they saw that someone came to help, and they knocked down a number of guards one after another, and rushed to the city gate in one breath, one of them exuded a soft divine aura all over his body at this moment, and gave birth to two pairs of golden winged wings from his back, it turned out that this person was a powerful light wing type Radiant Knight, and he was able to give birth to two pairs of light wings, indicating that he had reached the level of Radiant Great Knight. He must have hoped to fly up the walls and destroy the archers and magic gunners who were only slow to strike because of the scuffle below, and if they fired desperately because of the change in the situation, the members of the Order would have suffered greatly. The king seems to have underestimated the "Knights of St. Martin", and despite the unilateral sneak attack, there are many people who are unfazed and capable.
Immediately, the archers and magic guns on the city wall could not resist the attack of the Radiant Knight, and they were thrown off the wall by him, and the screams were endless. At the gates of the city, ordinary soldiers were no match for the members of the Knights, and the highly skilled Imperial Guards were eager to defeat their opponents, especially one of them, a knight of the Radiant King, who could feel the powerful power from his terrifying sword wind. Although black blood continued to ooze from the corners of his mouth, he was still unbeatable. He should have been conspired by some kind of poison just now, otherwise with his strength, he could destroy the enemy in front of him alone.
The young imperial guard, who was pinned down, shouted at Salion.
"Who the hell are you, if you dare to stop me, you will only die!"
"Hehe, Zai Xia is just a little mercenary from the south of the Divine Grace Empire, you can call Zai Xia 'Karakuri Mercenary' Meyer. I have a hunch that we will meet again in the future, it may be an opponent or an enemy!"
Without waiting for the young Imperial Guards to use his so-called killer skills, Salian took the lead in using space-time magic, and after special training with Chieko and Lil, Duke New Mark was able to teleport at will in short-range ways when fighting. Before the young imperial guard could turn around, Meier struck a powerful blow to the hilt of his sword in the back of the neck, and lost consciousness. When the other soldiers saw that the strongest of them had failed, most of them immediately dispersed, leaving only a few of their fellow Imperial Guards still fighting, and Salian knew that there was no room for delay now, and wasting a second would increase the risk. The king's other armies would appear at any point, and he beckoned Chieko to come out with him, and together with a few members of the Knights, he took out the remaining royal guards. The archers and magic guns that the Great Knight of Radiance on the city walls also eliminated and untied the noose of the city gate. The crowd rushed out and ran into the grove outside the city, led by the Radiant Knight.
"Thank you, brother, for your help, there are too few people who dare to stand up for justice now. He said gratefully to Meyer.
"Hehe, it's just that the road is uneven, not to mention that the reputation of the 'Knights of St. Martin' is very good, you must have been killed by traitors. ”
"Oh, I see. I am the Marquis de Jean de Wald, and behind this forest is my villa, and you can rest and go there at once, where I have a secret passage to leave. ”
"Ah, it turns out that you are His Excellency the Marquis de Wald, deputy head of the 'Knights of Saint-Martin', and it is rumored that you are one of the ten glorious knights of Franços. My partner and I happened to be passing through here. ”
"I'm ashamed, the Grand Master told me that he had received a secret message from the King and the Pope that they had taken a fancy to the wealth of our Order and wanted to do us harm, but I didn't care. I didn't expect someone to poison my wine today. Now I only fear for the safety of my precious daughter Lil, and although there are many traps and secret passages in the villa, the wicked king can do everything. The Marquis said worriedly.
"Well, I've heard rumors that Miss Lille is the first beauty of Françose, and that king is lustful, so let's go to your villa quickly!" Sallian was also anxious now, he didn't want his love to be taken away by others.
"Well, let me dissolve the poison and set off immediately. But this poison is terrifying, and I, as a regenerative Radiant God Knight, will actually fall for it. ”
The poison that can make the mouth of the regenerative Radiant Knight, who is the most resistant to poison, smear black blood is indeed terrifying, but now Salian has no leisure to satisfy his curiosity. As an hour passed like a day, the anxious crowd finally crept out of the woods and came to the villa of the Marquis de Wald.
The broken gate and the charred façade showed that the place had been breached, and the mercenary Meier rushed in impatiently, and found that the villa was in a mess, full of crooked furniture, but his keen senses did not detect the breath of anyone or other creatures, and there was no smell of blood, and Salian was somewhat relieved that there should have been no fierce fighting here.
"Hehe, it seems that these people have not found Li'er and have retreated. However, my Noon realm and other estates are probably occupied by the kingdom. Alas, let's find Lil first. Said the Marquis de Wald, who then entered the villa.
After searching the entire villa and making sure that it was completely unoccupied, the Marquis de Wald led them to the atrium of the villa, where there was a tall poplar tree that seemed impossible to move. I saw the marquis move a piece of dead bark on the tree pole, revealing a tree hole hidden behind it, he reached in with his hand and pulled out a thin spring, then he heard a soft sound, a marble statue in the courtyard actually stood up, and saluted the marquis, it turned out that this was a hidden self-discipline type golem, that is, the most basic type of magic puppet, there was a metal plate in the place where he was originally located, it seemed that this was the entrance to the secret passage.
Just as the crowd was about to lift the metal plate, it bounced open on its own, revealing an otherworldly pretty face, and Miss Lil appeared in front of them. He was followed by several maids from the villa.
"My little Lil, Daddy is really worried about you, it's all right!" asked the Marquis de Wald, taking his second daughter's hand with concern.
Meier and Miss Chieko are wearing makeup, so they can't recognize Lil for the time being. They could only watch their father and daughter from the sidelines.
"Dad, this afternoon when I was taking a nap, someone broke down the door and broke in, but luckily I had set up a magic cordon beforehand, and they were discovered as soon as they came. I asked the maids to take refuge in the secret passage, and fought with them in the hall alone for a while, and when I found that there was a huge disparity in numbers, I also teleported to the secret passage, and the gang retreated without finding the mechanism. It wasn't until I saw Dad through the magic lens that I turned on the mechanism. ”
"Phew, what a danger, my little Lil! Oh, the hateful King Laborer and the Pope, these wicked people are jealous of the riches of our 'Knights of St. Martin', and have attacked us today! The Marquis de Wald explained majestically to her daughter.
"Ah, that's terrible, so let's get out of the secret passage, and now where else can we go, Daddy?"
"Go to your sister first, and then think long-term. ”
Lil's sister is married to Count de Grande, lord of the eastern kingdom of François, a minor prince who is not a member of the "Knights of Saint-Martin" and whose territory is barren and located on the border with the Divine Grace Empire, presumably not to be implicated in this killing.
Then the Marquis de Wald turned to Salian and said.
"Little brother Meyer, you two are also in danger now, come with us, when you reach my son-in-law's territory, you can cross the border and reach the Divine Grace Empire, you should be in no danger. ”
"Dad, what kind of characters are these two, and how can they be with you?"
"Oh, this very skilled little brother Meier has helped us, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to get out of Leon City. ”
"Yes, Miss Lil, as far as I can see, this brother is a time-space magical warrior, very noble as a free mercenary, and has good skills, and is enough to compete with me, the Radiant Knight. ”
The Lightwing Radiant Knight added. I just introduced each other and talked to each other in the woods. This man was one of the closest confidants of the Marquis de Jean de Wald, Baron Gabriel de Gas, a minor vassal in the Marquis de Wald's domain, who had been with the Marquis since he was a child, and knew Mademoiselle Lil very well.
"yes, thank you so much. Miss Lilly thanked Maier with a ladylike salute.
"Haha, beautiful Miss Lil, you need not be polite, it is our honor to help the good knights of the 'Knights of St. Martin' and the Marquis de Wald. Meyer replied, feigned embarrassment.
