As morning approached, Elio woke up Sauron Duna, who was not asleep, and urged him to hurry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Get up, damn it, sleep will kill us all here. Elio almost wanted to use the eagle to force the Duna family scrap to stand up.

"My lord, I believe that nothing will cost us our lives except the flames in the city of Paliva. Sauron, though with honorifics, spoke with displeasure and contempt for the arrogant commander who used his army as a shield and sacrificed the entire country's loyal nobles to the crown in exchange for a defeat.

He was glad that he hadn't left a single subordinate behind the Prime Minister, and now Elio was kidnapped from his hands. He knew what to do to be best for the Duna family.

"Hurry up, waste, ahead is the territory of the Silver Eagle Lords, White River City, they will provide us with protection. ”

Elio was still arrogant and rude, and his current situation made him very irritable, but he looked at Sauron's own soldiers, remembered the details of the battle of Paliva, and had no doubt that the traitor would kill him halfway.

"When I return to the Imperial Capital, I will tell the King and the Queen Mother everything, and although you have failed in the war, and your irretrievable defeat has your reasons - and of course my fault, your faithful defense of the former Prime Minister will bring the Duna family supreme glory. ”

The Imperial Prime Minister didn't care at all to let go of empty words, and Sauron didn't believe in the slightest of such vague promises.

Then, the team marched forward in silence, and when they reached the Black Bear Forest, where the White River City and Paliwa City meet, the territory was confused, and a group of knights appeared in the jungle.

Sauron Duna's nerves tensed, and he ordered all his soldiers to hide and cover Elio Paton himself, fearing that it was Paliva's pursuers.

The sound of horses' hooves drew closer, and they could even see the knight's exaggerated, silver-embroidered white cloak. This is not the style of the knights of Paliva City.

Before Sauron could react, Elio stood up from his hiding spot and waved to the knights.

The current Prime Minister was in a state of disarray, his armor was badly torn, his helmet was missing, his red hair was as messy as withered grass, and his face was covered in mud and black charcoal.

However, his trademark red hair still made the knights recognize him, and the white-robed knights galloped towards this side, and the horses stopped in front of the surviving Imperial troops.

The knight turned over and dismounted, knelt down in front of the imperial prime minister, and bowed to him silently, his expression very exaggerated: "My lord, what has happened to you?" ”

Instead of answering him directly, Elio glanced at the coat of arms on his chest - a trout with sharp teeth, unique in the Sunset Empire, the hallmark of White River City.

"Knight, I want a horse. Elio stared at him for a moment, then commanded.

The Territory Knight's expression was exaggerated, and he quickly took out a white war horse, swept away the little dust on it, invited Elio to review it, and said in an eager tone: "Your Excellency, you must have experienced a lot of hardships along the way, have you been injured?" Please follow us to the city, the city lord will provide you with the best treatment and resting place." ”

Elio stepped on his horse without giving in, looking at everyone condescendingly, as if he had regained the majesty of the Southern Expeditionary Army.

He pulled out the eagle vulture, ignoring the overly attentive White River Knights, or the completely uninformed Sauron Duna, and made two or three rounds of the jungle.

"Can you make sure I'm safe?" the former Prime Minister looked condescendingly at the White River Knight, who was still half-kneeling on the ground.

"Yes, my lord, Shirakawa will not let you be hurt in the slightest. The Territorial Knight replied in an exaggerated tone, as if he wanted to gouge out his heart to show his loyalty.

Elio stopped his horse, looked at the Celestial Knight, who was still nervously holding his sword behind him, and then at the young Sauron Duna, and thought for a moment.

Then he pointed to the men who had saved him from the land of death and said, "He is the eldest son of the Duna family. They are knights who are under the orders of the Duna family. At the height of the war, they wanted to kill me. They betrayed me, betrayed the Empire, and wanted to surrender to the enemy. ”

"So—since you want to show me loyalty, kill them for me, and I will order the Lord of White River to reward you well. ”

Elio held up the eagle vulture, his expression unwavering.

Believing that he was hallucinating, Sauron Duna had always believed that he had made the right choice to keep the Imperial Prime Minister in order to ensure that the Douna family would not be affected by the violent political turmoil in the Empire.

He even imagined that the former prime minister would say good things for the Duna family for the sake of saving him, and the blame for the defeat would not fall on his head.

However, the facts in front of him told him that his ideas were too immature. This ruthless conductor has no moral or emotional concerns.

Looking at the White River Knight who was starting to draw his sword on the other side, Sauron Duna did not hesitate to order his own guards to draw their swords and resist.

However, the horses in the jungle are gathering more and more, and it seems that White River City can't wait to compete for some merit. In a short time, the White River Knights were already standing densely packed with wasteland, and it looked like there were hundreds of people, five times the number of the Knights of the Stars.

"We have not betrayed, rush out, and don't let these despicable people deprive us of our honor!" shouted Sauron.

The angry Chenxing knight raised his sword to resist, and the Baihe soldiers came prepared, and a dense rain of arrows shot out from the forest, and several Chenxing people fell to the ground in an instant.

At the same time, the White River Knights rushed forward, steel swords intertwined with each other with a loud metal clash, and five or six of them surrounded a group of Knights of the Stars, the blades of which tore through their armor and slashed the exhausted warriors off their horses.

Soon Sauron Duna was left alone, and instead of surrendering with his sword raised, he angrily charged at Elio Paton, and dozens of White River Knights held him to death with their swords.

"Elio Parton!" he shouted.

"You won't end well, you're going to die a hundred times more painful than I am!" Sauron's sword plunged into the breastplate of a White River Knight, but more blades pierced into his torso.

His head was cut off, and his handsome face was covered in blood. His eyes were not closed, and he was staring in the direction where the Prime Minister was standing.

"Waste. Elio spat at the tumbling head, "You're not qualified to call me by name. ”

"Depart for White River City. ”

"Yes, as you command. The White River Knight complimented him with great flattery, carefully guarding the Imperial Prime Minister and disappearing into the jungle. (To be continued.) )
