However, as a cold and rational bounty hunter, Constantine had never had the mentality of a rat trap.

Just as the boy was about to crush the Time Stone and try to kill the mage floating on the lake at close range, two strong magical lights flashed around him at the same time.

Those who came to the rescue were a blazing pale gold, and the other was a cold ice blue.

The pale golden glow naturally comes from Roland.

As a paladin, he was extremely sensitive to all dark aura, and while Hudson was still brewing that magical beam, Roland had already reacted.

In his hand was a long sword formed of flames.

The Holy Flame Sword swept out, and the dazzling golden sword light staggered in the air, shattering the falling arcs one by one.

【Holy Spirit Wing Slash】

The sword marks formed by the golden flames swept across the sky, slashing at Mark with a shocked look on his face.

Mark hurriedly retreated, while desperately chanting the protective spell, the light on his body that symbolized countless defensive spells shone, and at the same time activated the magic armor on his body one by one.

Spell lights of different colors flickered at an astonishing speed, and protective magic was blessed on Mark one after another.

[Flame Guardian], [Rock Armor], [Energy Absorption], [Spell Reversal], [Adelan's Mirror], [Arcane Shield], [Multiple Defense Enchantment]...

A full eleven protective spells appeared on him, which could be called a textbook combination of defensive magic.

So much protective magic stacked together is enough to nullify most mana attacks.

Even if a battering ram slammed into Mark, it was estimated that it would only be in vain.

But the look on Mark's face did not relax in the slightest, staring at the golden sword that flew towards him.

Rumble!

Mark snorted, the light on his body dimmed sharply, and the layers of magic protection exploded, and colorful energy points of light splashed, like fireworks.

His body staggered back towards the other side of the lake, barely holding his body until the soles of his feet touched the other shore.

Seeing this, Caulfield narrowed his eyes, and his gaze on the other side became extremely sharp, "That kid actually has a sanctuary next to him? ”

The only people who can make a crown mage so embarrassed when they have used all their means to defend themselves are those who have reached the realm of the Holy Realm.

One sword forced back a crown mage, but Roland did not slack off, and the second sword slashed out without any fancy, and the blazing golden light blocked in front of Constantine.

However, to Roland's surprise, the other person who helped Constantine block Hedson's attack was actually Rhaegar.

Frost, light, and dark collide at the same time.

A dazzling cloud of energy appeared above the surface of the lake, and the sudden burst of terrifying power caused the lake to surge wildly, and the wind added fuel to the waves, setting off waves tens of meters high, rushing towards both banks.

The sudden appearance of holy light and frost sword aura disrupted Hedson's rhythm, and the mage had to soar into the air to dodge the storm of energy that swept away everything.

Caulfield looked at the other side, the killing intent in his eyes could no longer be concealed, he made a gesture, and the Ice Knight behind him quickly moved along the lake, and began to try to circle the lake to form an encirclement.

Constantine withdrew the gem and looked at Rhaegar holding his sword, "I thought your sword would cut at me. ”

Rhaegar was silent for a moment, "You know, I've always been a fan of sneak attacks from behind, but if you hadn't used Twilight just now, maybe I would. ”

"And what are you going to do now?" Constantine asked a very practical question, "It will take some time for the Glacier Knights to get here, and you have one last chance to choose, I won't mind." ”

Is it another choice?

Rhaegar closed his eyes, and from the moment he secretly corresponded with Caulfield, he knew that he had been forever branded as betrayal, and even if Constantine succeeded in recovering his kingdom in the future, the stigma he carried on him would never be washed away.

Whether Constantine lived or died, won or lost, Rhaegar was destined to become a spurned name in the future history of Azeroth, scorned and ridiculed by all Azerotans.

If he had persevered a little longer, perhaps the outcome would have been very different.

However, reality has not given him a chance to regret it.

"Let's go, Caulfield, I'll resist, as long as I can. Rhaegar opened his eyes and said calmly.

Constantine frowned, "You're going to die." ”

Rhaegar laughed self-deprecatingly, "I should have died as early as that night, but I only delayed it for twelve more years, and I have no regrets about seeing the teacher's [Twilight City] for the last time today, take care, Your Highness." ”

Rhaegar turned to the rebel soldiers behind him and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not worthy to be your leader, I'll stay later, resist the army of the dragon lance, let Your Highness leave, if you want to surrender, you can lay down your arms, you've done enough, there's no need to accompany me to death." ”

Hearing Rhaegar's words, the rebel fighters fell silent.

Coopa sighed lightly and tightened his sword, "I will follow you to the death, Captain Rhaegar." ”

The rebel soldiers looked at each other, no one spoke, but none of them put down their swords, their expressions were very resolute, their eyes were full of determination to die, and at this last moment, the pride and fighting spirit belonging to the winter people were rekindled in their hearts.

Rhaegar and all the warriors knelt down on one knee while kneeling at the same time, bowing to Constantine, and solemnly bowed to Winterfell's most standard knightly salute.

At this moment, the rebel fighters let go of their prejudices and wholeheartedly identified with the young mage, acknowledging that he was their king.

Constantine looked at the resolute expressions of the warriors, and his face suddenly darkened: "Thank you, unfortunately, I don't have the ability to lead you to witness the day of the restoration of the country." ”

Tren shook his head and smiled lightly: "Your Highness, you have shown us the most precious thing, and that is hope, and we will die without regrets. ”

Rhaegar patted Constantine on the shoulder, "It's a pity that I can't accompany you to the end, Constantine"

Constantine looked at the knight who had been closest to him as a child, "In the future, I will let all the Winter Knights remember that they have a leader worthy of their pride." ”

Constantine did not resent Rhaegar, he knew very well that everyone has a weak side, and the brave is never without weakness, but in the most desperate moments, he can also overcome his innate vulnerability, which is true courage.

Roland frowned, "Let's stop here, we have to hurry up, I don't want to wait to face a dragon knight and two crown mages at the same time." ”

......

When Caulfield and the Silver Dragon Samurai arrived murderously on the other side, they saw a calm-faced Rhaegar and hundreds of rebel fighters waiting behind him.

"What about people?" Caulfield glanced around, and saw that there was no Constantine, and his expression became even colder than Rhaeggar's sword.

Rhaegar raised his sword, "Your Highness has already left, if you want to hunt down Your Highness, step over my corpse first." ”

Nero sneered, "Stupid." ”

Caulfield just looked at Rhaegar indifferently: "Is it worth risking your own life and that of all your subordinates for a goal that is almost impossible to achieve? ”

He intended to weaken Rhaeggar's will and shake him up, as he had done in the past.

However, Rhaegar only said lightly: "You are very good at grasping people's hearts, Marquis, but this time, I am afraid that I will disappoint you." ”

Caulfield looked at Rhaegar and saw that the knight's eyes were clearer than ever, and there was no way to be persuaded by himself.

"Good. Caulfield said coldly, "I don't mind giving you a ride if you want to die, but by the way greet your teacher for me, and tell him that his son Constantine will soon come to see him too." ”

The dragon knight raised his sword, and the [Moon Scar] bloomed with silver rays that illuminated the entire valley, and it was bitterly cold.

The rebel warriors swung their weapons and let out a roar of rage, as they had for many years before, and launched an attack on the dragon lancers who were several times their size.

Blood overflowed, the sound of swords resounded through the clouds, and the mountains and forests were terrifying.

On this day, the entire Central Mountain Range was shaken.

On December 16, the year 999 of the Holy Calendar, the remnants of the Azeroya Rebels put up a desperate resistance to the Governor of the Dragonlance Dynasty, Vismar, and his troops outside the Sunset Valley.

All the rebels were killed, but no one surrendered.
