Chapter 20: Truth and Trickery
"Whoever dares to storm the royal majesty will surely die by my spear!"
The Guards threw his shield in his left hand into the air, and the shield shot out a pillar of pure gold light, causing small walls of magical shields to spin around the people in its path. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAnd Yuri, who is the object of annihilation, naturally can't get the blessing of the shield.
The reason why this person is able to use the trick of destroying the world without any scruples is because she can provide absolute protection to the innocent while killing the target.
Guards General...... It's unimaginably strong.
Yuri closed his eyes tightly, knowing that he couldn't dodge the blow of the Guards General, and in addition to waiting for death, he didn't even have time to regret and regret it. Virgi in the distance was also frightened and desperate, and did not use the rock rune to create a wall for himself, because his left eye saw through the fact, the huge energy of the tip of the Guards General's spear could not be blocked by a few stone walls.
At this moment, a huge iron pillar fell from the sky screaming, directly penetrating the shield of the general of the guards hanging in the air, nailing the shield to the ground with incomparable strength, and the huge tremor caused by the landing shook the elephant to the ground, and the shock wave like a meteorite falling swept the royal guards more than ten meters away.
Yuri faintly saw the huge black iron pillar in the smoke and dust of the shop, and couldn't help but exclaim: "That...... That's an arrow?"
Obviously, the thing in front of him is bigger than a siege ballista, but it has tail feathers, and it looks like an arrow.
The Guards General desperately pulled the reins of the dragon, his eyes wide open, and said in disbelief: "This is impossible! Doesn't it mean that he didn't come back?"
Then she looked up at the towering bell tower in the distance, and Yuri followed her gaze to find that the man standing in the wind with a huge bow at the top of the bell tower was the lifeless man wearing the dragon's head mask yesterday. And on the roof behind him, five or six of the same black iron arrows ran through it, as if it were not the bell tower, but his quiver.
Virgy struggled to block the smoke and dust from the shop and came to Yuri's side: "Let's rescue the princess now." ”
"But...... How can I save it?"
"What do you mean?"
Yuri looked back at Vicky in confusion: "Princess Flora, she ...... Hidden in his own secret space. ”
Virgy was puzzled: "What the hell is going on?"
He took off his monocle and concentrated on searching around, and sure enough, there was no princess in the space.
But there were other images, which shone in the blur of smoke, as if trying to convey some kind of message to him.
The emblem of the Unicorn Knights.
General of the Guards on the back of a dragon.
What is my left eye trying to tell me? Calm down and think carefully, why is there so much disobedience in the rescue operation so far?
Isn't the Guard General a subordinate of the Third Empress Audella? Isn't Audella Flora's dear sister?
What does it mean for the Guards General to stand in front of us at such a time?Could it be that she never thinks that our actions will bring Princess Flora any benefit?
Unicorn Crest ...... I remember the Unicorn Knights, a guard of honor dedicated to the Sun Elf Princess.
This means that Flora is going to Jingmingchuan this time, and her identity is a princess, not a sinner.
Virgy secretly said something bad in his heart, and hurriedly turned over and rode on the back of the light stream, and said loudly to Yuri, "Let's retreat!"
"Is the rescue plan going to be abandoned halfway?"
"Operation cancelled!" replied Virgil anxiously, "anyway, let's just run away now." ”
"What about Flora!"
"From the very beginning, Her Royal Highness didn't need us to save her. Because no one was going to take her life. ”
Yuri didn't understand Virgil's words, but instead got up and ran away from the procession. The once peaceful and peaceful square has become a battlefield, and the smoke of gunpowder is everywhere, and the painful wails of the people around them resound in the sky.
"If we can escape now, whether it's the princess, you or me, there will still be a chance of survival. ”
However, six iron arrows shot down in the air, and the tips of the arrows sank into the ground to a depth of a meter or two, forming a circle, trapping Yuri and Virgy in it like an iron cage.
Yuri exclaimed, "What the hell is going on! Why are your comrades dealing with us!"
Virgie replied in a low voice, "I'm afraid we've fallen into a trap from the beginning. ”
"What trap?"
Virgie smiled miserably: "You'll know right away." ”
Yuri turned around, only to see Prince Auloran in the procession with a pale face, a feathered arrow stuck in his shoulder, and he was in a cold sweat enduring great pain, raising his sword and pointing at Yuri, and roaring: "Take down these two assassins for me!"
"Assassin?" Yuri was even more alarmed.
"That's right, what we're doing today isn't to rescue the princess, but to be explained by Prince Auroran as an assassination plan against him. Virgy clenched his fists indignantly.
The spear and sword and the crossbow were aimed at the two knights in the cage.
Twelve hours later, in the Shengyang Hall of the Imperial Palace, His Majesty the Emperor was furious and urgently summoned Flora to the palace for questioning.
Flora sprang alone in the rainy night, no one daring to hold an umbrella for the suspicious princess, the rain stopped her skirt from swaying, and the sound of the rain drowned out the crisp clatter of her princess shoes on the road. The crystal passage leading to the Holy Sun Hall seemed to be too long to see its head, and the princess only felt that every step forward in the howling wind and rain felt that the heavy palace gate would retreat ten steps back.
Obviously, after putting in so much effort and going through so many hardships, there is only one step left from this palace.
Obviously, as long as you participate in this parade and come to Jingmingchuan, your father will personally use a golden spoon to fill the river water, pour it on yourself, and wash away the so-called "breath of sin", you can restore your status as a princess, you can regain everyone's attention, and every word you say can play an early warning role.
Why did Ulysses and Virgil, at such a time, attack the procession, shoot an arrow at Auroran, shatter their plans completely, and extend the distance between the palace that was already close to them once again indefinitely.
At the gate of the Shengyang Temple, Sister Audella and the General of the Guards asked melancholy, Sister, is it true that you sent someone to assassinate Brother Auroran?
Flora loudly denied: "No!
"But ......"
Flora clenched her fists angrily: "I don't understand why those two freelancers would do such a thing! If the state affairs are bad at the hands of these two people, I will definitely not forgive them!"
Audrey looked at her sister's gritted teeth and felt very unfamiliar. In her impression, her sister's smile should be as innocent and sweet as it was ten years ago, enough to wash away the sorrow in people's hearts, and enough to soothe the frowning eyebrows of the most hard-hearted people.
And it shouldn't be like now, with a fierce and angry expression.
Is the sister in front of me still the sister I know?
When she was just reunited with her sister, Audrey was convinced of this. After receiving the secret report that her sister had been kidnapped, Audrey and the Guards General rode out of the city, not seeing the kidnappers in ambush, only her sister standing in the wind.
Audrey wondered, "Sister, where are the kidnappers?"
"There are no kidnappers. Flora squinted her eyes and smiled, "If it wasn't for the deliberate exaggeration, how could I have met my dear sister so soon?"
Although Audrey is a younger sister, she is much calmer than this naughty sister, although she is very excited, she only raises her eyebrows slightly, and tries to say calmly: "Sister, why didn't I know the news of your return in advance?"
Flora shook her head and said, "That's for our dear brother." Let's not talk about this, Audella, take me to see my father at once, I have a very important military situation to report to him. ”
Audrey nodded and replied, "Sister, my father wants to meet with the senior generals of the Holy Light Knights who came to visit the royal capital during the day, saying that he wants to discuss the matter of missionary rights. The fact that the human merchant bought land in the Golden Dawn Forest and used it to build a church violated the laws of his country and was demolished before it could be built......
Flora replied, "Isn't it just a matter of demolishing a church?" And what I am about to tell my father is much more serious than that. ”
"Hmm. In the evening, my sister will definitely be able to see her father. ”
The Guards General, who had been riding heavily armored war horses all the time, couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness Flora, may I ask the Ranger General about him...... Didn't come back with you?"
In everyone's mind, this powerful general is not smiling and strictly governs the army, and many times everyone will forget that she is actually a young woman. But as long as General Ranger is mentioned, two small blush will appear on her face, and the aura of the whole person is full of girlish sweetness.
However, Flora's pointed ears only moved slightly, and she lowered her head and did not look back at the lovesick expression of the general of the guards, and replied lightly: "Miraya, Raphael, he is temporarily staying in the Forest of the Hidden Moon to do some aftermath work for me. ”
The Guards General's ears couldn't help but hang listlessly: "Then he ...... Are you alright?"
"Don't worry, who can bully such a powerful Ranger General?"
