Chapter VII Rescue Operations

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the dark tunnels, and the startled rats scattered and fled in the firelight. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info then more torches appeared, dispelling the darkness in the tunnel.

"After walking so far, you won't all be out of the city. Lehman followed behind Uriah, muttering to himself.

"It's not that far, and judging by the direction and distance, we're almost in the middle of the city. Uriah glanced back at Lehman, and then said, "It seems that Rice's information is true, and this matter is probably inseparable from Saladin." Everyone, be careful, don't make too much noise. ”

"Don't you think we're going downhill, sir?" a knight stepped forward, "I feel like we're starting to go downhill from the front turn, but it's not too steep. ”

Uriah took a closer look and found that this was indeed the case, so that the tunnel went deeper underground. I don't know if that guy from Les has already surrounded the cathedral, and it is still unknown whether the person who left from this tunnel really took the Holy Son with him. Uriah clenched the hilt of her sword, only to feel more pressure on her body.

......

"Lord Rice, let's go public before private, I don't know what the business is?" Saladin couldn't figure out Rice's true intentions, and although he was uneasy, he had to deal with Rice here.

"The official matter is very simple, today's alarm bell is afraid that it will make the Holy City uneasy, and the Pope has ordered you to find a way to stabilize the people's hearts early tomorrow morning. ”

"It's a simple matter, and I'll take care of it. And what is Lord Rice's private affairs?"

Les took two steps forward and whispered, "This is ...... The bishop is also asked to maintain confidentiality. ”

Seeing that Rice was so cautious, Saladin couldn't help but approach Rice and lowered his head slightly.

The corners of Rice's mouth rose, and he grabbed Saladin with one hand, and drew his long sword with the other, and put it on Saladin's neck at once. The priests in the church were shocked when they saw this, and when they were at a loss, they saw a group of knights rushing into the church and instantly controlling everyone. When a priest saw the thunder emblem on these knights, he couldn't help but shout: "Judge Knight!"

Saladin was also shocked, he guessed that Les might have found clues, so he found him, but he didn't expect that he would directly use the Judgment Knight. Although Les is the head of the Brilliant Knights, and the Knights of Judgment have been scattered and included in the Brilliant Knights since the Holy See's policy of softness, this does not mean that Les can transfer these knights at will.

"Rice, what are you going to do!"

"Bishop Saladin, I advise you to hand over the Son. ”

The surrounding priests listened to Rice's words, their faces were confused, Saladin was shocked, he was not sure whether Les was deceiving him or had accurate information, after all, Rice has always been known for his audacity in the church, maybe he just found a clue to the cathedral and tested himself.

"Holy Son, I don't know what you're talking about, I haven't seen His Highness the Holy Son in the past few years. ”

"Don't struggle, your subordinate, the one named Turner, has sold you. ”

Saladin was shocked, he glanced behind Rice, and then shouted, "What Turner, I don't know what you're talking about, are you trying to apostasy by holding a bishop hostage for no reason?"

As soon as Les wanted to say something, he felt a gust of wind in the back of his head.

"My lord, be careful!"

Les turned around to block, and with a "dang" sound, the two swords intersected, and a knight of the judgment saw that the blow missed, and swung his sword again, and several priests also took advantage of the distraction of the knight next to him to take out their weapons, and the church was in chaos for a while.

At the moment when Les turned around, Saladin broke out of his control and hurriedly ran towards the pulpit, and with a twist of his wrist, Les took the long sword that had been struck at him again to the side, and then the ape arm was lightly relaxed, and the sword was plunged into the knight's chest.

Saladin, who ran to the pulpit, saw that the knight was dead, and hurriedly turned the mechanism, and with a "click", it disappeared. Les, who had killed the enemy, chased after the pulpit, and when he saw Saladin disappear in front of his eyes, he hated it in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to find the mechanism.

......

Alan was already on the verge of fainting, not only the taste in his mouth, but also the rope tightly tied to him made him breathless, and it was estimated that even if that Saladin didn't come to kill him, he would be dying.

"Who's over there?"

"Phew. ”

"Uh...... Uh......"

"Knock the door open!"

Alan thought he was hallucinating, and after a moment of confusion, he saw the knight he had seen on his way down the mountain. Of course, everything that followed made him know that this was not an illusion, because as soon as his body was loosened, the rags in his mouth were immediately pulled out, and as soon as he was free, Alan quickly fell on the ground and retched.

"Your Highness, your Highness the Holy Son, you are alright, we better get out of here quickly. Uriah looked at the embarrassed Son in front of him, took out a water bladder from his body and handed it over.

"Thank you. Alan took the water bladder and hurriedly poured a large mouthful.

"Poof, spicy......" The spicy sensation spreads in the mouth, and suddenly covers up the original odor in the mouth. Uriah took the water bladder from Alan's hand and quickly stuffed it back into his arms, which made Lehman on the side laugh secretly.

After swallowing a large mouthful of the liquor, Alan felt that the nausea finally dissipated, and then noticed the faint sound of fierce fighting on the ceiling, and he looked at the middle-aged knight beside him who handed him the wine in confusion.

"Your Highness, I don't know what happened above, so for the sake of safety, let's retreat to the Holy Mountain first. "Uriah knows that Les may be fighting with people above, but for now, he should send His Highness the Holy Son back to the Holy Mountain.

"Are you?" asked Allen, who had no memory of the man in front of him.

"In Uria, the head of the Knights of the Lower Mountain Guard. ”

"Uriah, where are we withdrawing from, the situation is unknown from above......"

"Your Highness the Holy Son don't worry, we are coming from a secret passage, and now we can return from the secret passage. ”

Eren had some slight doubts, but the group in front of him obviously had no ill will towards him, and one of the knights had seen it himself.

"Okay, let's get out as soon as possible. ”

As soon as I took a step, I felt that my legs and feet were weak for a while, and I almost fell. Seeing this, Uriah hurriedly supported Alan.

"Lehman, come here and carry His Highness the Holy Son, let's leave as soon as possible!"

......

"Damn, who did this!" Saladin, who hurriedly fled back to the basement, looked at the scene in front of him, and was furious, only to see his remaining cronies fall to the ground with a crossbow bolt stuck in his neck, the door behind him was wide open, and the ropes were scattered all over the ground, and the Holy Son was obviously rescued.

Saladin was originally going to take the Holy Son hostage and leave, but once this incident passed, the Holy See would inevitably want him all over the continent. But now, everything is in vain, and you can only find a way to escape from the holy city first.

......

The battle in the church was over, and Les was looking at the pulpit with annoyance, Saladin had been on the run for a short time, and now the Son was afraid that it would fall into his hands again.

"My lord, Saladin's men have all committed suicide, and not a single one of them has survived. ”

Les looked at a few of the priests who had not rebelled and asked, "Does anyone know about this mechanism?" Soon, he was disappointed, apparently this institution was not built by the church, and these priests who were not close to Saladin did not know about it.

"Search, dig three feet into the ground for me!" The successive defeats distraught Rice, who was afraid to see the Pope's disappointed face, and his former exploits seemed to have become a big joke at this time.

......

"My lord, there seems to be someone behind us. ”

"Chasers?" Uriah ordered the group to stop, thinking secretly, "Supposedly the battle in the church should have been caused by Rice, could it be that he discovered this tunnel after his victory?"

"How many people are there?" Alan was also secretly surprised, there were nine people in front of him, and only eight of them could fight.

"Back to His Highness the Holy Son, he didn't approach because of the unknown situation, but judging from the footsteps, there were not many people, and it was likely that there was only one person. ”

"There's a turn not far ahead, so let's go there and set up an ambush first. The news somewhat relieved Uriah, but she still didn't dare to be careless.

Alan knew that there might be a battle later, and said to Lehman under him, "Lehman, let me go, I'm fine." ”

"Okay, but Your Highness, you must stay by my side later. As he spoke, he gently put Alan down, but he still held Alan uneasily.

Alan wanted to withdraw his hand, but as soon as he exerted force, he found that Lehman was holding his arm tightly and had no intention of letting go, so he had to give up and let him hold him.

"Extinguish the torch. Uriah gave the order, and then darkness fell into the tunnel, and everyone waited with their weapons in hand.

Alan was a little nervous, but then he felt Lehman's hand holding his arm tremble slightly. He thought that this knight, who didn't look much older than himself, was a brave warrior, but he was secretly ashamed in his heart, but he didn't expect it...... Thinking about it this way, it dispelled a lot of nervousness.

The faint light of the fire illuminated the wall in front of everyone, and with the sound of hurried footsteps, the wall became brighter and brighter, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and clench their weapons.

Suddenly the torches appeared in front of the crowd, and Uriah leaped to his feet, drew his sword, and slashed at the comer.

"Ahh

"Saladin!"

Hearing this name, Alan hurriedly ran forward, and under the light of the fire, Alan saw clearly that the guy lying on the ground in front of him and howling constantly was the Bishop of Saladin who kidnapped him and wanted to kill people!

......

When Les got the news, the Holy City Church was already in shambles, and looking at the guardian knight in front of him who came to report the news, Les knew that he was probably leaving the Holy Mountain again, and unlike last time, this time he was going to be discredited.

Les, who had returned with the Brilliant Knights, met Uriah at the foot of the Holy Mountain, and the two looked at each other for a long time, and finally Les broke the peace.

"Thank you for sending someone to report the news, otherwise I am afraid that the cathedral will be demolished by me. ”

This reaction surprised Uriah, "I thought you were going to scold me when I saw me, saying that I robbed you of your credit?"

"How could it be, it turns out that you are right, I was wrong. By the way, how about the Holy Son?"

"His Royal Highness the Holy Son is very good, I have already sent someone to send him up the mountain first, I am waiting for you here. ”

"Oh, what do you want to say here?" said Rice, a little strangely.

"How about we unify it?" Uriah said slowly, looking at Les.

"Unification, unification of what?"

"Are you playing dumb with me!This operation was done together, you are responsible for attracting attention, and I am responsible for secretly rescuing the Holy Son!" Uriah looked at Les, who had a calm face, and wanted to give him two punches.

"No need. ”
