Chapter 145: Interception
Ever since he was hit by the magician's sluggishness, Wieland's heart has been sinking. Although the level www.biquge.info of magical civilization in the Varu Empire is still at a very low level, as an excellent intelligence analyst, Wieland knows a lot about the methods of those magicians, and at this critical juncture of being hunted down, it is a fatal thing to be hit by a sluggish technique.
If it weren't for the ruthlessness of those magicians, and the fact that this kind of assassination of the crown prince would not have been able to leave him alive, maybe Wieland would have chosen to raise his hand and surrender. Although he was highly regarded by Grand Duke Solo, although he grew up in the Varu Empire, and although his mission was to protect the crown prince, he ...... But Wieland himself knew that he really didn't want to die, he really didn't want to die so early, especially in this kind of wilderness where people were hunted down.
Willand, who once graduated from the Imperial Intelligence Academy with great ambition and became the youngest intelligence analyst in the Imperial Supervision Department, thought that he still had a bright future ahead of him, and he was absolutely unwilling to die like this before he fulfilled his wish.
What loyalty to the empire, what loyalty to Crown Prince Raymond, who represents the royal bloodline, these are just a process of gaining prestige and fame in the eyes of Wiland, and if he can exchange it for his own life, Wieland will not hesitate to make a choice.
Leo did not choose to escape alone, but carried Wieland on his shoulders and fled with Wieland, even if he reduced his running speed because of this, he did not give up Wieland, which undoubtedly made Wiland's already desperate heart see a ray of light again.
However, Wieland's nature as an intelligence agent made him notice a small movement of Leo: Leo's left hand would often hold a pendant on his chest, this round and concave pendant was dark and old, and it seemed that it was not worthy of Leo's aristocratic status at all, but Leo's actions clearly regarded this pendant as a treasure.
And after Leo holds the pendant, there will always be a group of inexplicable homeless people, as if they have been ambushed there for a long time...... Is that pendant some kind of communication tool? Maybe that's Leo's secret?
Even though he was being carried by Leo on his shoulders and kept jolting and running, Wieland's eyes kept sweeping and observing, and his mind kept spinning with all kinds of thoughts and speculations.
In the distance, the dramatic change in the attack on the mage team made Raymond feel quite excited, although he didn't know who those people were, but they were obviously helping his allies, maybe these were Leo's arrangements?
Raymond and Cahill strode towards the Barony of Leo under Leo's leadership, and the sound of mages critting spells in the distance sounded as if they were in trouble.
The night was incomparably long and tormenting in Raymond's heart, and it was because of one of his little bad ideas that Leo accompanied him to sneak away in the middle of the night, giving those with ill intentions a chance. In order to cover the escape of his people, almost all the soldiers around Leo were dead.
Whether it was the Mamluk camel cavalry, the tall Vikings, or the elite Spartan warriors, Raymond could tell that they were all well-trained elite soldiers, even the elite of the Varu Royal Guard. But because of himself, he fell forever at the hands of those magicians, and Raymond felt very sorry for his friend Leo who had been helping to defend him.
If he can escape, Raymond decides that he will do everything in his power to make up for Leo, and must not let Leo's hard work be in vain and let Leo's men die in vain.
However, the heavens are always so unsatisfactory. Just after a few people crossed a hill along the trade road, they saw Archduke William waiting in the middle of the road, and more than a dozen guards lined up to block the trade road.
Leo slowly stopped, bent down and put down the Wieland he was carrying on his shoulder, and walked forward to greet Archduke William: "I didn't expect Archduke William to be so interested!
"Yes, although the moon is not good tonight, but I am very excited!" replied Archduke Wilhelm with a victor's smile on his face, and a look of victory in his hands.
"William, haven't you Wagner family been loyal to the empire for generations?, do you really want to rebel?!" Raymond stood up and reprimanded William.
"Fuck off! Don't talk to me about rebellion! What do you guys like you, who have been abandoned since childhood, know! It is true that our Wagner family was once loyal to the empire, but look at what you Gavin have tossed the empire into? The imperial family is in secret, the back party is rampant, the nobles are extravagant, and the officials are corrupt, and an empire is already like a dilapidated house in the wind and rain, and if it continues like this, sooner or later it will be torn apart by you, so it is better for our Wagner family to completely overthrow it and build a new empire again!"
As soon as Archduke William saw Raymond, he roared at him with red eyes, as if to vent all the resentment in his heart. Although what Archduke William said was indeed a great rebellion, it was not necessarily unreasonable, at least everyone present hung their heads and no one refuted it, even Crown Prince Raymond himself knew that the current empire was indeed as William said.
"You have sabotaged my southern provinces and raised troops, and even humiliated my father, and I will never let you go today. After venting the words accumulated in his heart, William shook the long sword in his hand and said coldly.
Tonight's events are bound to be good, and Leo did not hesitate to draw his sword and hold on to Archduke William. Although there were only five people on his side at this time, and William had more than a dozen people under his command, Feng Xifan behind him was Leo's greatest reliance and confidence.
Raymond's murmuring chant of magic was like a horn for a battle between the two sides, and Archduke William stepped forward with an arrow and stabbed a sword at Raymond, looking at his sword momentum, he wanted to poke a few holes in Raymond's body with a single sword. Cahill's twin swords hurriedly stepped forward, holding Archduke William's long sword.
The bodyguards behind Archduke William then surrounded him, and Leo and Cahill were on Raymond's left and right, trying to block the sharp swords that pierced him from all sides.
Feng Xifan's side had already been blocked by six guards. Archduke William had already seen the skills of this old servant outside the castle, so he arranged several men with quite good skills to join forces to deal with him in advance, not to defeat Feng Xifan, but at least to block Feng Xifan, so that he could not have time to rescue Raymond and the others.
Those who can be taken by Archduke William's side are naturally not mediocre hands, these guards are all battle formation techniques, and the cooperation between offense and defense is extremely tacit, but they really blocked Feng Xifan. (To be continued.) )
