Chapter 768: Escape
Wheezew, whuff, breath of fresh air penetrated her heart and lungs, and Princess Sophia never imagined that she would have such an embarrassing day. Bending over with his hands on his knees, he shook his head and said to Sidney, "I...... Call...... I can't do it! I can't run anymore!
Sidney subconsciously looked in the direction of Pritz City behind him, there was no sound between the distant mountains except for Sophia's heavy exhalation, it seemed that Achilles and their attention were attracted by the Dark Council, and the mercenaries in charge of their side did not chase too far.
"Okay, then let's take a rest, but don't just stay on the road, let's hide first!" Sidney grabbed Princess Sophia by the arm and dragged her into the grass next to her.
Princess Sophia, who was well-mannered and respectful, only felt that her hands and feet were sore at this time, and her whole body was in pain, and she had no strength at all. She collapsed on her back on the grass and said with a crying voice: "It's over, it's all over, everything is over, General Brett is finished! The Paris Empire is over! You, I, it's all over!"
"Shut up!" Sidney snapped back and scolded in a completely different tone than usual.
"General Brett bravely blocked the city gate with the Praetorian Guards in order to allow us both to escape, without him, you and I would not have been able to escape at all! The Paris Empire still has my father and the emperor, and you and me, and more than a million people! As for you and me, as long as we can escape back to Paris City, then there is still hope for everything to be saved! Cheer up, Sophia!"
In the end, unlike the pampered Princess Sophia, Sidney, who was educated in the military since childhood, showed perseverance far beyond his peers in the face of adversity. Although he betrayed Leo and betrayed the Kingdom of Pritz, Sidney only regretted it at the beginning, but since he fled with Sophia all the way, Sidney has re-identified himself as a Parisian, and Sidney, the leader of the Rose Knights, has returned.
Under Sidney's severe reprimand, Princess Sophia raised her head, and with tears on her beautiful face, asked, "Sister Sidney, do we really have any hope?"
"Of course, don't give up, for the sake of the Paris Empire, for us! can't give up!" Sidney's firm answer made Princess Sophia's heart feel reassured, whether Sidney was really sure or not, but at least for now Sophia was willing to believe it, and she could only believe her words.
Unlike the two sisters who encouraged each other, the Dark Speaker almost wanted to say a word in his heart, what is the matter with these Pridz mercenaries? When will the mercenaries who see the money not care about the high bounty he offers? When will the slick and cunning mercenaries be able to fight so fiercely to the death
As soon as the two sides began to fight, the Dark Speaker shouted loudly: "Mercenaries who are willing to serve the Dark Council will be paid tenfold and will receive the friendship of the Dark Council!"
Unfortunately, this is completely useless, the mercenaries were only slightly stunned when they heard it, and then they ignored the conditions offered by the Dark Speaker, and no one paid attention to the conditions that the Dark Speaker kept raising. This unusual state of affairs caught the Dark Speaker by surprise.
Under a series of policies of Leo and Governor Tuart, the treatment of mercenaries in Pritz City is getting better and better, especially after the dragon attack on the city, the mercenaries have been fully integrated into Pritz City.
There are no class divisions, everyone is free and equal, the completely open Dragon Mountains are a treasure that mercenaries can never dig up, there is the best business environment here, it is extremely convenient to replenish equipment and supplies, there are spirits, all kinds of entertainment, and of course, there are stubborn goblin patrols that can help you sober up at any time.
Defecting to the Dark Council may be able to get a high bounty, but who can say for sure that the Dark Council will be able to honor it? You know, the reputation of the Dark Council on the mainland is not very good. And even if you get the money, what if you get it? Pritz City, which is the best place to spend, is about to be destroyed, and the mercenaries leave here to go to other countries, and they have to live that kind of life of exile and precariousness, and no matter how much money they have, they will only end up with no wealth and no people.
The mercenaries' fearless impact made the dark warriors in front of them like small sampans in the stormy waves, which could overturn in the surging crowd at any time, but their great commander was entangled by Achilles and could not give decent command.
After a few breaths, the dark mages who were about to stop lit up with the light of magic, and one by one the large-scale destructive magic was about to be released, but at this moment, the obsidian in the sky fell like a dumpling, kicking, clawing, and winging, trying to prevent the dark mages from releasing the magic in their hands.
The dark mages naturally knew that they couldn't be close to these obsidian goyles, otherwise they wouldn't need to attack anything, the obsidian goyles only needed to hold them and fly into the sky, and the dark mages just called the heavens and the earth not to be spiritual. In a hurry, the dark mages didn't care if the dark magic could work on the gargoyles, and threw the prepared magic at the obsidian goyles.
In order to improve the efficiency of spell casting, in order to facilitate joint spell casting, the position of the dark mages is relatively dense, and in such a situation, throwing a wide range of lethal magic on the obsidian goyleuks that are getting closer and closer to them will affect the companions around them, that is not something that the caster can consider. Due to the cold temperament of the dark mages and the competition for resources in the dark council, the dark mages don't care about the damage of their companions at all, anyway, as long as they can escape with their lives, who cares about others?
One by one, the area magic exploded in the air, and the rich dark magic elements made the night sky darker and darker, and the strong magic impact caused the magic shields on the dark mages to burst like soap bubbles.
"Are these idiots taking magic as child's play?" the Dark Speaker was furious at what the dark mages were doing. It looked at the dark archons beside it and said in a cold voice, "Today is the critical moment to fight for the dark gods, you archons, the dark gods are watching you, go on, kill all the heretics who dare to blaspheme the gods!"
