The king of the lion

"Did you hear that horn?" Mona said to Elsa in the room.

The proprietress pushed open the window, and the room they were in was on the second floor of a building. From this window, you can only see the rushing river and the white mist that fills the river. Other than that, there is no riverbank or any other structure. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the person who brought them to this building kept claiming that the house was indeed in the Lion King's capital, Elsa would have even wondered if this was a normal world after all.

Although the white fog on the surface of the river cut off the sight of people, the sound of the trumpet that resounded throughout the city still came in from the fog. Elsa frowned, even if she was not familiar with the signal of the royal capital garrison, but she would use such a powerful method to make a notification, I am afraid that the news transmitted will definitely not be optimistic.

"We're going to find a way out of here. The proprietress turned to Mona.

In the past, on many things, the female warriors were in favor of Elsa's decision. Because compared to her, who only knows how to fight, many of the boss's ideas seem more flexible and operable. But this time, Mona didn't agree with her friend.

"We've tried a lot of things, but we're still here. The warrior shook her head, and she sat down on her bed in a somewhat decadent manner.

It's a good bed, I mean, it's obviously better than any bed in the town below the mountain or in the Frost Guard's precinct. The bed bones are made of ancient oak in one piece, and the faint scent of trees can make the person sleeping in this bed fall into the most restful sleep. The mattresses and quilts are luxury silks, filled with wool plucked from the best sheep in the southern pastures, and their softness is as if magical.

At this time, Mona and Elsa were not wearing the same combat clothes as they were when they were robbed, although due to the habit of the Northlanders, neither of them wore skirts, but the tight breeches also made the two ladies show a charm that they did not usually have. On top of that, there are some seemingly expensive liquor and food on the table in this two-person room.

Hearing the words of the female warrior, the proprietress also sighed. Although she was the one who offered to flee, as Mona said, they had tried many ways to get out of the place in the few days since they were brought to this strange house. But the truth is that this is almost impossible for them.

First of all, as seen from the window before, the house seems to have been built on a small island in the center of a river. The supplies for Mona and her family for the past few days were brought in by a small boat at dawn. Due to the heavy fog on the river, the proprietress did not dare to cross the river rashly without knowing the depth and width of the river, so they naturally had the idea of hijacking the boat.

But Heather, who was also imprisoned in this house, told them very seriously on the first day not to try to move the ship, which was guarded by some kind of high being, and no one who was not qualified could sail it. And when the two continued to ask the female knight chief what she meant by her high-ranking existence and qualifications, Heather didn't say anything more, but repeatedly warned them not to touch the ship.

Thinking of the seriousness on Heather's face, both Mona and Elsa knew that the Captain Knightswoman was definitely afraid of something terrible. And out of trust in their companions, they would not ignore Heather's words.

"Alas......" the two ladies sighed at the same time as they looked at each other. Elsa casually picked up the wine bottle on the table, drank it without using the glass. It can be seen that the incarceration life in the past few days has accumulated a considerable degree of resentment.

A knock on the door sounded. No other proof was needed, there was only Heather in the house except for the two.

"Please come in. Mona spoke. The door was pushed open, and the chief knight walked in, dressed similarly to Elsa's. She noticed the wine stains on Elsa's mouth and the bottle in her hand, and her brow furrowed slightly, but this little thing didn't change what she wanted to say.

"I think you heard that, too?" said the chief knight, of course, with the sound of a trumpet that had just subsided.

"What does that mean?" asked the warrioress, as the Knight Captain of the Hammer, Heather must have a clear understanding of the orders of most of the Greylion's army.

"The enemy army invaded in a big way. All the soldiers went up to the city walls. Heather replied simply, and at the same time walked over to the window that Elsa had opened earlier, looking out at the fog.

"What!" Mona and the proprietress glanced at each other, and the fact that they could force all the garrison of the dignified Lion King to put into defense showed the horror of the threat from outside the city, and in their impressions, the kingdom, which had not clashed with its neighbors in recent years, was the only possibility that it would be attacked by a large number of enemies.

"It's a rat man. Plenty of native nezumi. The female knight's tone was a little anxious, but not out of shape, and her eyes searched around in the fog, as if she could see something beyond the fog.

"Dragonspine Mountain is on top!How did they get here!Did the rest of the kingdom fall as well!" exclaimed the warrioress. Although she already knew that part of the Black Mountain Territory and the Fierce Hammer Territory had been invaded by the rat people, it was still a long way from the royal capital. What's more, according to Heather, the legion led by Lyon was already stationed on the border of the new epidemic area. With that blood lion pressing the array, how the hell did the rats break through to this place, this is indeed a question.

"I don't know, He didn't tell me more. Heather shook her head, saying she didn't know much more.

Elsa noticed the use of the word "he" in the words of the chief knightess, a term usually used by priests of faith to refer to the gods they worshipped. But the proprietress didn't know that the chief knight was a believer in some existence.

Before Elsa could ask her own question, Heather's next words made her forget about this little doubt in an instant.

"The time has come, we're going to get out of here. Heather's voice was not loud, but it was firm. This let the other two people in the room know that the chief knight was not joking.

Then Heather opened the door and walked towards the door.

"What are you waiting for? ”

Elsa quickly put down the bottle in her hand, got up with Mona and walked quickly behind Heather. The house wasn't big, so soon the three of them opened the door to the house. What appeared before them was a small sandy beach, and a rushing river and fog beyond the beach.

Just when the proprietress wondered how Heather was going to get out of here, the chief knight stretched out two hands and put them on their shoulders. Heather's mouth began to sing some kind of ballad, which sounded like the priests would sing to their own shrine on Sunday. The melody of this ballad is full of sorrow, and although the lyrics cannot be understood, a kind of sorrow envelops the listener's heart along with the song.

When the song was finished, Heather took Mona and Elsa by the hand and strode across the beach to the rushing water.

The female warrior and the proprietress thought that the female knight had gone mad, and just as they were about to step into the river, they instinctively closed their eyes and waited for the cold water to submerge their bodies. But the imaginary dampness did not appear, and they felt as if their feet were stepping on some soft, flowing object, which, though not as strong as the earth, did not seem to break easily.

"We're going to pick things up, I'm not very skilled with these things. Heather's voice rang in their ears. At the same time, it also made them realize that they were now standing on the flowing river. Mona and the others subconsciously wanted to see what they were looking like under their feet, but the female knight squeezed their hands and stopped.

"Don't look at your feet! ”
