Chapter 42: Rebellion (1)
"Are you lame, why did you bring a cane?" asked Wesley with a wicked grin.
"Magic wand, it's amazing. Downer replied.
"The devil believes you. Wesley snatched it up and looked at it in his hand: "Yo, it's exquisite, what kind of material?"
"It's expensive, it scares you when you say it. Donner snatched the wand back from Wesley's hand.
"Hmph, it looks like it, not even a magic array has been engraved. I say, you don't want to use this stick to fight the reserve knights, do you? I find that you are a dwarf at heart, and you like hand-to-hand combat. It seems that Wesley doesn't agree with Donner's fighting style, or is just hard-mouthed.
Donner smiled and stopped talking.
On the second day of the conference, the remaining 64 players will still have to draw lots to decide the match. This time, Donner was drawn in the sixth game, and the opponent was again an acquaintance, the eldest son of the Celtic Grand Duke, Roger.
Before the game began, the lord of the city, Marquis Eli, took Daric to the seating area of the Academy of Magic.
"Captain Kaz, I didn't expect you to come to visit the Martial Demon Conference in this city, it's so exciting. The Marquis Eli smiled very sincerely, and his usual grim expression was like that of the two of them.
"Marquis Eli, I'm an old friend who has come to visit me. Head Kaz said as he put his arm around Dean Devis's shoulder. Judging from Devis's natural expression, the two are indeed old acquaintances.
"Oh, you see, it's my fault to let you sit here. I invite you, oh, and Dean Devis to my box. You have to promise me, or I'll be cramped all day. ”
"You're too polite, Deves and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's rare to have a chance to catch up, so I won't bother. ”
"Haha, where you can't catch up, I'll just let you in my box. ”
The Marquis of Eli insisted, while giving his son beside him, Derik, who immediately walked up and gently grabbed the arm of the head of Kaz, Kaz frowned slightly, and the other party's movements were a little too enthusiastic.
"Come on, Dean Devis, if you don't go, Head Kaz must be embarrassed to go first. ”
The Marquis of Eli also stepped forward and made a gesture for Radevis's arm.
Just as his hand was halfway out, Dean Devis was already alert, and was about to give a warning, but it was too late.
Where Eli's hand went, a violent hurricane rose from the ground, swept Lucia, who was sitting between Deves and Kaz, and flew straight into the air.
Captain Kaz shouted "You dare" and reached out to grab Lucia, but was hugged tightly by Darik and couldn't break free for a while. No one knew that the latter had just been promoted to the fourth level of knight, although he might not be able to beat Kaz, who had been promoted for a long time, but it was not difficult to stop the opponent for a while.
Dean Devis and the Marquis of Eli were close at hand, and in a hurry, a second-level stone thorn technique stabbed straight into Eli's chest. A hurricane suddenly appeared around Eli's body, enveloping him, and the hard stone thorns the thickness of his arm were torn apart by the hurricane as soon as they approached.
Earth Spikes, Earth Spirit Entanglement, Petrification...... In the blink of an eye, Devis had already cast four or five attack spells, all of which were dissolved by Eli's third-level defensive magic Wind Vortex.
By the time the other professors at the Academy of Magic could react, Eli's third-level wind blade had pierced Deves' earth shield and struck him in the chest.
"Protect Lucia!he's a third-level magician!" Deves, who had fallen in the crowd, was already badly injured, but he still used all his strength to warn.
The professors of the Academy of Magic immediately dispersed, and the students were even more chaotic.
More than a dozen various attack spells blasted at Eli, all of which were blocked by his third-level defensive magic, the Wind Vortex. Standing in the center of the whirlpool, the Marquis of Eli had the same face as usual, and he still had the strength to control the hurricane restraint in the air, tightly wrapping Lucia.
"The lord of the castle has rebelled. Donner whispered a warning to Wesley, who was beside him. From this point of view, the one who pretended to be a thief and kidnapped him and Lucia must have been the army under the control of the city lord.
"Isn't he? He's crazy?" Wesley, though he had always been indifferent to his father, was still anxious when he saw that he was seriously injured.
None of the ordinary people or the students knew Captain Kaz, and in their eyes, both the Academy of Magic and the Marquis of Eli were supposed to be righteous. No one knows why the two sides are fighting.
Even most of the professors of the Academy of Magic didn't know the reason for the sudden attack of the Marquis of Eli. It's just the authority of Dean Devis and the sense of belonging to the Academy of Magic that makes them fight against the Marquis of Eli without thinking. And the latter's practice of concealing their strength all along also gave them a hint of conspiracy.
For a time, anger and raging waves went hand in hand, sand and vine leaves flew together, and they were all swept into the howling hurricane, torn apart and thrown away. The scene of a third-level magician facing more than a dozen first- and second-level magicians at the same time was like a myth.
The confrontation between the two fourth-level knights on the other side was also amazing.
Kaz had already broken free from Derrick's restraints, but the latter was still between him and the Marquis Eli, the two of them were bare-handed, and every move was booming, and the air was shaken, and all the seats that were a little closer to the two were shattered, and the students who were slower to react and dodge in time had already been shaken and injured.
Although Darek was gradually showing his defeat, Kaz still couldn't break through his defenses for a while, and he looked at Lucia in the air, his heart was anxious, and he suddenly jumped up to capture her.
Almost at the same time, Derrick grabbed Katz's ankle in mid-air and dragged him down. Kaz kicked him hard before he landed. Darek gave way to the top of his head, but was still kicked in the back by Kaz, a mouthful of blood spurting out, obviously injured, but his hands still dragging Kaz's feet like crazy.
Kaz couldn't get rid of the entanglement for a while, and shouted to the instructors of the Knight Academy who were still at a loss in the distance: "I'm Crimson Knight Kaz!
The instructors were still suspicious, and no one knew Captain Kaz. At this moment, Roger jumped out of the students of the Knight Academy, pointed at the girl in the air who was entangled in the hurricane, and shouted, "Lucia is a princess!
By the time the instructors reacted and wanted to come forward to help, the professors of the Academy of Magic had all fallen to the ground, except for those who had been hit by the Wind Blade of the Marquis of Eli, several of them were plotted by Judy from behind, including Victor.
After Judy's plot succeeds, she joins Derick and Kaz in the fight. The occasional first-order flying leaves and the vines that suddenly burst out of the air caused Kaz a lot of trouble. Derick finally got a respite.
"Stop! Whoever moves again, I'll kill your princess!"
Eli had removed the wind vortex around her body and released Lucia from the air. He didn't untie the hurricane, but just pointed at Lucia, who was already unconscious, and made a threatening sound.
No one, including Captain Kaz, dared to move anymore, and being pointed at at such a close distance by a third-level mage was more effective than a knife on the neck.
"Eli, you want to rebel?" shouted Kaz hatefully.
"Mutiny?hahahaha......" Eli laughed loudly, "Who wants to mutiny? My Tris family was the master of this land six hundred years ago!"
"The Tris family?" Judging by the reaction of the crowd, no one seems to have an impression of this family.
"Haha, the Femon family not only usurped our land, but also erased all the marks left by our family. Six hundred years ago, there was the Principality of Tris, how could there be no Tris family, but now who remembers our Tris family. Who's the mutineer!?" Eli shouted loudly, his hair exploded, like a madman.
Kaz looked at him coldly, not saying a word.
"The Cyril family is the Tris family! For six hundred years, we have been careful and incognito, for today! Today we will take back what belongs to us! Now, the army of the Thorn Empire is crossing the border, and the kingdom of Femon is about to end! The flames of war will burn every inch of this country...... Only not here. ”
The Marquis of Eli turned to the ordinary people in the audience and shouted, "You are all lucky, because the Empire of Thorns has promised that this war will not affect the Duchy of Tris!"
"What a pathetic madman. Kaz finally spoke slowly: "How stupid do you have to be to believe the jackal's promises. ”
"Shut up! My men have taken control of the entire province's army, and the Duchy of Tris has always been the toughest bone to gnaw. Whether an enemy or an ally, the people of the Thorn Empire will figure it out. And now that I have an important gift in my hand, this choice is even easier. Eli glanced at Lucia and then said to Daric and Judy, "Get them all under control." ”
There are so many things that happened this morning, the original rulers of the Principality of Tris, the Triss family, after six hundred years of incognito, finally rebelled, the Thorn Empire attacked, and the Huls Continent, which had been peaceful for eighteen years, rose again, no matter which one it was, it was hard to believe.
And in front of him, Princess Lucia has fallen into the hands of Eli, but it is an indisputable fact. With Eli's strength, no one was confident that they would be able to escape his magic, let alone save the princess in front of him.
The ordinary spectators sitting on the high place once had a riot, and when the magic confrontation below was at its most intense, there was even a stampede due to panic, and it is estimated that there were many dead and injured. It was only now that it slowly quieted down, and the officials under the command of the city lord began to evacuate them in an orderly manner.
Darik tied Kaz tightly with a steel chain he had prepared and placed him in the care of his men.
Judy bent down and searched the professors of the School of Magic who had fallen to the ground and were dying, making sure they no longer had any potions or scrolls hidden on them.
The instructors of the Knight Academy were gathered and waited to be released.
Students from both faculties automatically move closer to professors or instructors in their own faculties. No one dares to act rashly.
Donner carefully picked up Professor Victor and secretly fed him half a vial of orange healing potion before he left the house in the morning, taking advantage of no one noticing. When he was done, he secretly handed the bottle to Wesley, who was beside him, and cast a color in the direction of Dean Devis.
Wesley naturally followed the flow of people, pacing slowly in his father's direction.
Fearing that someone would find out about the anomaly, Donner lowered his head and stopped looking at Wesley.
About half an hour later, all the unrelated people had been evacuated, and everyone in the Academy of Magic and the Knight Academy was driven to the side of the venue, and those who were injured and unable to walk were supported or carried by the students.
"Those who are willing to swear allegiance to the Tris family stand up, and the others will all be executed in an hour!" Eli announced in a loud voice.
There was a commotion in the crowd.
Soon after, a student walked out, and then more and more, until they joined together......
In the slightly empty venue, a gentle breeze blows. The sky is blue, the clouds are white, and the spring light is shining.
