Chapter 5: The Great Change in the Palace
"Magic, is there a magician around here?" the shocked Selin hurriedly looked around, but there was no one around except for the wounded soldiers he was familiar with. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Magic ornaments?" Thinking of this, Selin began to carefully observe Simon's outfit, but the other party was still familiar to him, a samurai outfit that had not changed for thousands of years.
So, what is stopping him? Thinking of this, Selin couldn't help but shed a cold sweat.
"No need to look for it, this is the ability of flowing water. Simon, after examining his wounds, saw that Selin was observing him, so he spoke. "Didn't you also use the ability of the ruler dust to sneak up on me? You know the power of the spirit sword better than me. ”
"Yes? I see. After hearing this answer, Selin suddenly felt haggard, and added the frustration of defeat, if it weren't for his strength, I'm afraid he would have fainted.
At this time, he was only accompanied by a few loyal veterans, but most of them were also hung up. And Simon's side is obviously in a better form than him, and the rest of the other party has surrounded Selin and the others at the moment when they have won or lost.
"I lost. Selin highlighted these three words heavily, and suddenly felt a lightness on his shoulders.
"Captain!" the veterans around Selin were indignant when they heard this, because they didn't believe that their captain would lose.
"Needless to say, a loss is a loss. I relied on the ability of ruler dust to sneak up on Simon, and Simon also relied on the ability of flowing water to turn defeat into victory. There's nothing to make excuses, I lost the fight. ”
On the mainland, the knights have always regarded glory as more important than life, and a battle is not only a contest of life and death, but also a battle of honor between the two sides. Sometimes, it was more difficult to get the knights to accept defeat than to accept death.
As soon as Selin's words came out, the veterans who were still in good spirits suddenly turned to ashes. Coupled with the fact that they were more or less injured, for a while, sadness and desolation spread among the team.
Seeing that his subordinates' faces were like ashes, Selin changed his words again. "But, the glory of our Royal Knights is to protect His Majesty's family until death!"
"I lost this duel, but we will not admit defeat in the mission of protecting the queen and princess!"
"Rest until death! Rest until death!"
Not long after it had just quieted down, the forest resounded like a roar like a mountain, and the fighting spirit of the desperate knights at the moment was amazingly strong.
"Captain ......" A soldier standing next to Simon couldn't help but feel a little timid when he saw that the fighting spirit was burning again. But his next character is reluctant to spit out, for he finds himself staring at him with a cold, ice-like gaze.
"Kill them, not a single one will be left!" Simon shook his hand, shook off the remaining blood on his sword, and coldly spat out a few words. After speaking, the first one pounced on the opposite side, and suddenly the two sides started a new round of fighting.
"Stop! His Majesty has an order!"
At that moment, a human soldier ran from the mountains in the distance, panting and shouting.
Hearing the voice of the comer, both sides of the battle involuntarily stopped the battle at hand. Whether it was Selin's side or Simon's side, they all tacitly chose to stop.
"His Majesty has an order: find the former queen and princess immediately! Simon, the captain of the guard, don't take the order yet!"
"Yes!" replied Simon.
"Wait, what do you mean by that? I'm the captain of the guard! Why did His Majesty let go of these rebellious thieves, you explain it to me!" said Selin angrily at the mention of the soldiers who had come to give the order.
"This ...... This morning, we received news from within the palace that the old king had died of illness last night, and considering that the old king had no heirs, the new king was succeeded by his younger brother, His Royal Highness King Fu. The soldier who was lifted up hurriedly told everything he knew.
"What? His Majesty is in the prime of life, and he was fine when we left, so why did he die of illness in only half a month? And doesn't His Majesty still have Her Royal Highness Princess Anya? Even if the princess is still young, she can inherit the throne! Who told you this news?"
"We don't know, but we received a letter from the teleportation scroll this morning, which says so, and there is also the seal of His Majesty the King. ”
"Impossible! This is impossible! When we left, His Majesty's dragon body was still healthy, and the imperial doctor also said that it was just a cold wind, and it was fine. How could His Majesty have left in such a short period of time?" For a while, the fatigue of not sleeping for several nights in order to protect the queen and princess in recent days, the failure of the duel, the scars on the body, and the death of the greatest dependence. One blow after another, another hard-nosed Serin almost fainted. Seeing this, the soldiers next to him hurriedly went over to join him and prevent him from falling.
"I lost, and I lost completely. Selin looked at Simon and smiled helplessly.
"Old Sai, it's all over. Now that His Old Majesty is gone, and a new King has ascended the throne, the struggle between us is over. Let's go to the queen and princess together, and take them to meet the new king, King Fu is kind-hearted, and he won't embarrass them. Seeing that the situation was good, Simon began to persuade Serin, and his tone was much more relaxed.
"Haha, yes. King Fu is a benevolent man, and he must not do anything to the queen, but what about me, as a captain of the guard, my own comrades rebelled under my nose, and I have not only stayed away from His Majesty, but now even the queen and them have been lost. How do you tell me to be worthy of the first king?" there was a hint of farewell in Selin's tone.
"Old Sey, you ......" Simon also noticed that there was something in Selin's words, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. But before he could finish his words, he saw that Selin had already raised the sword in his hand and stabbed at him.
"Stop!" Simon said, activating the ability to run water, but it was too late, and the blade of the ruler dust had already pierced through Selin's abdomen.
"No!" Simon yelled reluctantly, hugging Selin, who was about to fall.
"Brother. Selin grabbed Simon's shoulders tightly, "Promise me, you must protect the queen's mother and son for me! You should also know that although King Fu is kind-hearted, what about those ministers? Those ministers who support King Fu will definitely have a grudge against His Royal Highness Anya." If nothing else, they are just afraid that if His Royal Highness Anya inherits the throne in the next day, then their end will come, so they will definitely find a way to get out of His Highness behind their backs!"
"After my death, you will be Your Majesty's most intimate bodyguard. You have to help me protect Her Royal Highness Anya, as long as she is a safe and stable adult, and marry an ordinary nobleman to live this life. Also, don't let my children go my way! cough, cough, promise me, help me fulfill this last wish. In the end, Selin coughed up blood, but he still grabbed Simon's shoulders tightly and looked at Simon with angry eyes.
"Hmm. Simon nodded sadly.
As the last note dissipated, Selin, who was clutching Simon's shoulders, dropped his powerful hands and passed away with a smile.
"Regiment commander!" The only remaining soldiers on both sides were fighting to the death before, but now they did not distinguish between the enemy and me, and they couldn't help but cry bitterly for their regiment commander.
"Brother, what I promise you will definitely do, go on the road with peace of mind. As he spoke, Simon reached out and smoothed Selin's still open eyes.
"You guys, stay and clean up the battlefield. Arrange all the corpses here and bring them back to our homeland, and those present are warriors in life and death, and should not sleep on the ground of other people's land. ”
"The others come with me, and we'll go find the queen and princess!"
It was already very close to Viddaburg, and when I looked up, I could already see a faint shadow. But at this time, Liang Feng had a headache, because he felt that he might not be able to reach Vidaburg.
I saw that Liang Feng and the others were surrounded by a group of people, and the other party did not make a move immediately, but just surrounded them in the middle, although they looked fully armed, but they did not have the slightest intention of making a move.
Damn, who the hell are they waiting for? Are we done with that?
The silent and oppressive atmosphere made Liang Feng a little impatient, because he didn't know what he was going to face in the next moment. Sure enough, Grandpa was right, the most cunning of all animals is human beings. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Liang Feng thought.
At this moment, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps in the woods, and it was clear that quite a few people were approaching here.
"Captain. After seeing the people clearly, the soldiers surrounding Liang Feng and the others were obviously relieved.
After nodding to everyone, Simon's eyes drifted over Liang Feng and finally fell on Anya.
"Let me go. Anya also saw Simon and whispered in the ear of the guard Xiao Wu.
"Simon, are you here to arrest me?" After tidying up her clothes, Anya asked Simon, her demeanor and tone and even her movements were exactly the same as when she was a princess before.
"Don't dare. With that, Simon flicked his cloak and knelt heavily in front of the princess to make a royal salute. With Simon's movements, all the guards, including the guards who had surrounded Anya before, hurriedly put away their weapons and knelt down one after another. "I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"No courtesy. Anya said lightly, her eyes stayed on Simon, who was in the lead, waiting for the other party's answer.
"Your Royal Highness, please go back to the palace with your ministers. After Simon got up, he still said respectfully.
"Presumptuous, are you ordering this princess? Where this princess is going to go, it is not your turn to decide a little guard. Anya was obviously disgusted with Simon, and the thought that her mother had died because of the rebellion in front of her made Anya unable to suppress her anger.
"The minister didn't dare, the minister just did what he was ordered, this is the order of His Majesty the King. ”
