Chapter Seventy-Four: The Soldiers Are Coming to the City
It was late in the night, and a rocket passed through the windows of the palace with unerring accuracy and landed on the carpet. Immediately after www.biquge.info pen "Fun", a series of rockets followed, turning the entire castle into a sea of fire. Awakened from their sleep, the guards rushed out of the royal city in terror, only to be greeted by the long-awaited rebel knights.
With six days to go before Princess Rose's birthday, even Reinhardt did not expect the rebels to choose this time to start a rebellion.
"Reinhardt—"
Rose's frightened voice echoed through the attic, and Reinhardt put on his armor and rushed upstairs. He knew that the guards downstairs couldn't resist too much time, and at this time, even if the three grand dukes gathered good people to come to the royal capital, I am afraid it would be dozens of minutes later. In the dormitory, Rose cowered in the corner of her bed, and every now and then the light of the fire flowed through her window.
The white cat also looked frightened and buried her head in her arms.
"What's going on, Reinhardt?"
Reinhardt tapped Rose's forehead and said softly, "Don't worry, it's just some rebels, I'll be back soon...... Sleep, Rose. ”
"Boom-"
There was another loud bang, and the blue flames split the wall, and the rebels poured into the castle one after another, and the guards who hastily met them were no match for the rebels, and the front line of the castle was suddenly swept out of a gap under the rampage of Ben Don Quixote.
Reinhardt covered Rose with the quilt and smiled at her again. The moment he closed the door to the dormitory, a pitch-black flame flowed over his blade, and with a slight slash of the tip of the sword, a gap appeared in the attic wall. He walked straight out of the gap, stepped into the void, and faced Lin Qiu.
The pale blue flame caught his attention at the first time, and this time, the young man did not dodge or dodge, and looked like he was facing the enemy head-on.
In addition to the rebels led by Ben Don Quixote, there was also a group of knights he was familiar with—those knights had their armbands tattooed with the cyan pattern he was familiar with, and it was impossible for him, from Shakdam, not to understand what Aoba meant.
In the crowd, there was no figure of Grand Duke Fisher.
Reinhardt scoffed, "Is this your hole card? Just by reversing Fisher, you feel like you have a win?"
After breaking down the guards' lines, Ben-Don Quixote leapt to his feet and slammed his greatsword in the golden streamer into Reinhardt. Reinhardt didn't even look at him, the black flames behind him formed a barrier in front of him, and the greatsword slammed into the black flames, but Ben was bounced upside down and flew out.
However, almost at the same time as Ben flew out, a young man bathed in blue flames suddenly appeared in front of him, and the deep sea wrapped in blue flames pierced through the black flames, colliding with the sword that Reinhardt had blocked. Reinhardt glanced incredulously at the gap in the blade - with the same level of fighting, he vaguely felt that the other party's notching power was much stronger than before.
Could it be that this kid didn't use his full strength that night?
He had a ridiculous speculation that even he thought he had.
At the moment when he was stunned, Ben turned around, and the giant sword smashed at him again.
The moment he successfully pierced the black fire, the corners of Lin Qiu's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly—normally, the Templar's scoring power was an insurmountable chasm for the royal knights, and no matter how much he burned his scoring power, it was impossible for him to pierce the shield condensed by the Templars.
There's only one reason for that—Reinhardt's scoring power is nowhere near as strong as it was at his peak due to the injuries he sustained during the battle with Alyssa, plus the burning power it takes to rebuild the kingdom...... The current Reinhardt, I'm afraid it's not as calm as he is at the moment.
"Knight King, now it's my turn to take your kingdom. ”
The guards of the royal city couldn't believe that their incomparably powerful knight king was forced back several meters under the combined blow of Lin Qiu and Ben. Reinhardt stared at Ben and Lin Qiu, and at that moment, he actually felt a sense of detachment—a feeling he hadn't experienced for more than ten years since he had eliminated the quicksand with his own hands.
But the two of them didn't give him the slightest respite, and attacked him from two diametrically opposed directions.
"Actually, I should have noticed it the last time I fought you. ”
It was another round of stormy offensive, and Reinhardt had to temporarily distance himself from the two, and that inexplicable feeling of weakness came at him continuously. He gasped for breath with his sword and pestle—it was the shame of his life, and he was forced into such a situation by two royal knights.
But he always believed that the final victory was definitely his.
"If I remember correctly, the first time you 'killed' me, it took more than ten minutes. ”
As Lin Qiu spoke, the falling rubble and stones hung strangely in the air, and as his words fell, these objects shot like arrows on the city wall where Reinhardt was. Reinhardt leapt to his feet, and the wall beneath his feet was blasted out of a hole by a sharp object.
"But if I play Alyssa, I won't be able to hold out for even a minute...... Is it really me and Ben who have become stronger? I don't think so. ”
The golden glow flashed and smashed firmly into Reinhardt's breastplate. He only felt a surge of qi and blood in his chest, and he backhanded his sword, and the blade flowing with black flames pierced through the opponent's left arm with precision, and smashed Ben into the ruins. Ben coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the greatsword was thrown off the ground as well.
But on his face was the same astonishment as Reinhardt's—this was the first time his attack had hit the knight king solidly, and a trace of blood actually spilled from the corner of Reinhardt's mouth.
This time, Lin Qiu did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, although they could be said to have temporarily suppressed Reinhardt, but this was still based on the premise that the other party did not use the power of the engraving at all. And he and Ben are all committed to this fight.
"The host, there are 5 minutes to go. ”
The deep sea reminded him.
Lin Qiu raised his voice disappreciably: "It's you who have become weaker, Reinhardt. You're not even as strong as the last time you fought me...... Every time you rebuild this kingdom, it will cost you a lot of notching power, right?"
"Burning the scoring power?"
Reinhardt raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "It's just that if you hit me, you shouldn't get carried away, right?"
Ben-Don Quixote, who had fallen in the ruins, changed his face and suddenly felt the ground roll, and before he could roll over from the ground, a huge hand made of sand higher than the city wall pressed him into the quicksand. After a moment of rolling over the completely desertified land of Shakdam, a huge sand giant burst out of the sand—only half a body, the size of the entire royal city.
And after summoning such a behemoth, Reinhardt's face turned a little pale, and sweat slid down his face.
For him, this is also a fierce battle that has not been seen in a long time. But...... It's time to end this fight.
With a wave of his right hand, the sand giant seemed to have received some kind of order and pounced on Lin Qiu.
"As long as my heart beats for a second, I will rebuild everything in the kingdom - whether you rebel once, ten, or hundred, I will crush you with my own hands!"
Facing the sand giant's arm pressing against him, Lin Qiu held the sword in both hands, and the blue flames became more and more dazzling, and the buoyancy that he could manipulate to the greatest extent was integrated into this blow, and half of the city wall slowly floated upwards due to the unbalanced gravity.
"I only have one question for you, why do you tirelessly challenge me when you know that you will be suppressed?"
The black fire on Reinhardt's body was quietly extinguished, and he really couldn't figure out this question - what he had created should be a fairytale kingdom without any strife, and he had clearly given these outsiders equal rights, but they still pointed their swords at him as soon as they regained their memories.
He didn't understand, and he really couldn't figure it out.
"I also have a question for you, why did you take the people of Shakdam to death when you knew you were not the opponent of Quicksand?"
Reinhardt was stunned.
Faintly, he saw that under the impact of the blue light that rose into the sky, the sand giant's arm was broken with a bang.
"Master, the time is up. ”
The blue flame also disappeared.
At the same time, high in the attic, a handsome man in a red costume pushed open the door of the dormitory.
"Archduke Edward, did Reinhardt ask you to protect me?"
Faced with Princess Rose's question, Edward hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
