Chapter 28: Blood-strewn islands
On this day, the sun was still hanging high above the misty island, and the scorching sun became cold after penetrating the thin mist. Although the weather was as mild as usual, the atmosphere on the Misty Island was tense and breathless, and everyone gathered in the open space in front of the castle early.www.biquge.info
The Starry Night Knights had already stepped on the merchant ships that had been temporarily requisitioned, and even some civilian fishing boats were full of Starry Night Knights. They looked forward to the misty misty island in the distance, and as soon as they gave the enchanting order, they would leave the port together and head straight there, and the hearts of each soldier were also excited and nervous when they saw this.
People gathered in front of the castle, there was a lot of discussion, some merchants were innocently trapped here, obviously desperate and frustrated, they all made a noise, demanding that Bai Ling do everything to stop the war, and some merchants even began to complain about Bai Ling. But as soon as they finished speaking, they were immediately accused and justified by the local people. For a while, people were in a mess and noisy.
Soon after, Bai Ling and Aidi walked out of the castle, followed by dozens of heavily armed White Rangers. When people saw this, they instantly fell silent, waiting for Bai Ling's decision.
Bai Ling stood on the platform and stared at the people gathered in the open space below, "Listen to me, no matter what decision I make, the Black Prince's army will definitely level every inch of land here and kill everyone here." ”
As soon as Bai Ling's words fell, there was a dejected voice from the audience, and the businessmen cursed helplessly, cursing the black prince, cursing the unfairness of fate, seeing this, Aidi looked at Bai Ling helplessly, "Lord Bai Ling, this is really a good incentive." ”
Her words were clearly ironic, because no one would instill despair in people with these words of fear when the Great War was approaching.
However, after a while, the local residents looked at each other, but turned to support Bai Ling in unison, and expressed their willingness to live and die with Bai Ling and Misty Island, which was somewhat unexpected by Aidi. Bai Ling slowly raised his hand, and the crowd fell silent again.
"I'll cover you, I just hope you can get out of here safely, some ships are ready, you just need to bypass the Black Prince's army and be safe, they won't pursue you, okay, now go back and prepare." ”
As soon as Bai Ling's words fell, people's faces immediately became dazed, but Bai Ling didn't say anything, but turned around and walked towards the castle. Seeing this, Aidi also left the bustling crowd in front of him and turned to chase Bai Ling.
Bai Ling walked into the hall, the hall at this time seemed unusually deserted, even quiet and terrifying, several white rangers on both sides stood quietly in the corner, although they had already known the news, but their faces did not show any nervous expression. Bai Ling still sat on the throne in a dignified manner, Aidi followed in, and just as he was about to speak, a white ranger ran in quickly, and bowed solemnly, his movements slightly panicked and hurried.
"Lord Bai Ling, the Black Prince's army has come into sight, and it won't be long before it lands on Upper Misty Island. The white ranger hurriedly reported, Bai Ling didn't say anything, and Aidi looked at the white ranger in a panic.
"What? it will take at least a day to get here on the other side, and they haven't moved yesterday!" said Eddie in surprise.
"My lord, the Black Prince's army sailed over in the night, and we didn't notice it for a while!" White Ranger's words made Aidi not reflect for a long time, and then Bai Ling stood up and waved his hand at White Ranger, and White Ranger retreated knowingly.
Aidi came back to his senses, "Lord Bai Ling, I will take the white rangers to resist, you quickly evacuate with the people!"
Aidi said hoarsely, and his tone was more like ordering Bai Ling. However, Bai Ling shook his head, and his face as white as jade became extremely firm, "No, you take Afra and organize the people to evacuate, and I will resist here." ”
"My lord, this is too dangerous......" Before Aidi finished speaking, Bai Ling waved her hand to interrupt her, and walked quickly out, "This is where I belong......" Bai Ling's words were undoubted, just as she walked out of the hall, several white rangers in the house also quickly followed, leaving Aidi standing alone in the center of the hall.
Eddie had no choice but to enter the castle, she quickly ran to Afra's room, picked up Afra who was still unconscious, but before she could take two steps, Eddie fell to the ground, she does not use those magic that can increase strength, so Afra's weight is also something she can't bear.
"Afra!"
Aidi hurriedly crawled to her side, shaking her vigorously and calling her name. At this time, Afra slowly woke up from the pain of the fall, but her body was still very weak...... What's the matter, Aidi. A soft voice came from her slightly pale lips, breathing.
"The Black Prince's army is here, we must evacuate!" Eddie shouted to Afra.
At this time, Afra struggled to stand up with her hands on the door frame, "No... Lord Bai Ling......"
Aidi hurriedly got up and stepped forward to support Afra, "We must get out of here......".
"No, I can't leave Lord Bai Ling......" Afra's attitude was resolute, but her body couldn't help but be so stubborn, Aidi had no choice but to support Afra and drag her out.
At the moment when the two of them walked out of the castle, they could see from a distance from the platform, those merchant ships full of Starry Night Knights docked one after another, and the streets and markets of Misty Island were extremely chaotic, some people were packing their things in a panic, and some people were waiting with worn-out weapons in their hands, but more people were running around like headless flies.
At the end of the platform, Bai Ling was wearing a dress as white as snow, and was busy directing the white rangers to prepare for resistance. "Lord Bai Ling!" Aidi shouted as he helped Afra, and when Bai Ling turned around, he saw two people, "Get out of here!"
Eddie had no choice but to say yes, and helped Afra down the steps quickly, towards the harbor behind the castle. Afra wanted to stay, but her body was weak, so she could only obey Aidi's footsteps, and after seeing the two leave, Bai Ling looked at the street with a bow and arrow in hand, and everything in front of her suddenly made her stunned......
After disembarking from the ship, the Starry Night Knights lined up in a neat phalanx, uniform black armor, and wore a coat of arms with a twelve-pointed star pattern on the outside, and they pressed one hand on the cold long sword at their waists, exuding a terrifying aura. When the Starry Night Knights filled the harbor, the three huge merchant ships were still covered with black and oppressive Starry Night Knights.
Enchanting pressed the rose sword at her waist, stepped in front of the army, stared at the army behind her with a cold face, and the starry night knights in front of her, raised their heads, puffed up their chests, and quietly waited for the bewitching order. After a moment, the enchanting closed her eyes. Letting the breeze blow her short hair, the sunlight in the sky gradually followed the hanging sun, piercing through the clouds and mist, shining on her black light armor, refracting the dark light.
Suddenly, she opened the corners of her cruel eyes, swept her sharp gaze around, and pulled out the rose sword, which could suffocate all the murderous aura in an instant, and spread rapidly. "Starry Night Knights, listen to orders!" bewitching shouted, all the Starry Night Knights drew their sharp swords one after another, and for a while, the sound of drawing their swords out of their sheaths resounded all around, even penetrating the sky.
"Ah......h
Enchanting was just about to shout, only to see the starry night knights in front of her looking at her with surprised eyes, she felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned around, the rose sword in her hand, with the rotation of her body, also quickly fell down, the rose sword as dark as black smoke, as if cutting through the air, on the path crossed, there was a faintly transparent sword mark.
When she came back to her senses, she saw a small man standing in front of her, trembling and clenching the fork in his hand, looking at the bewitching man vigilantly.
“... You don't want to hurt Lord Bai Ling......"
The man said nervously, the fear could not be concealed penetrated into his heart, making his whole body tremble, and even the voice of his voice was not firm because of trembling, his eyes not only exuded despair, but also a glimmer of hope, perhaps fantasizing that he could stop the enchantment.
But that was impossible, the enchanting snorted softly, and with the rose sword in her hand, she swung it twice from side to side, shouting "Starry Night Knights!
After the enchanting shout, he took the lead and ran towards the market on Misty Island, like an arrow from the string. She didn't pay attention to the civilian, and the speed was so fast that he didn't even have time to react.
And the endless starry night knights behind the enchanting are like a collapsing river dam, following like a tide, and the cold and sharp long sword is in the shout, and in the black tide, it is clearly connected, instantly drowning the civilian......
Enchanting led the army of the Starry Night Knights behind him, and attacked the town in a row, although he did not encounter the stubborn resistance of the White Rangers, but these people rebelled against themselves like crazy with a mess of weapons. The Enchantress had no choice but to swing his sword and slash those who were no match at all, and the Night Knights were more like a murderous machine, crushing everyone who came close. For a moment, blood splattered everywhere on the streets, staining the flat ground red, and severed limbs flew in all directions with screams.
In the midst of this chaos, the Starry Night Knights were also red-eyed, they could no longer tell whether they were resisting them or not, but whenever they encountered someone who was not wearing black armor, they would rush up and brutally kill them. Some people hid in their houses and prayed in fear, but to no avail. The Starry Night Knight, armed with a blood-stained sword, broke into one house after another, and women, old people, and children could not escape the fate of being strangled.
Eddie helped Afra to the beach behind the castle, only to see that it was even more chaotic, most of the women and children came here, ready to flee by boat, but the number of these simple rafts was limited, some people had already boarded the boat, some people sat on the ground, and even some women fell to the ground with their children in their arms, and kept crying.
Aidi helped Afra to a boat, but saw that the boat was not carrying women and children, but several merchants with panicked expressions, Aidi immediately looked at them angrily, "Why don't you help others get on the boat!" The merchants knew that Aidi was a secret mage, but now it was important to flee for their lives, and they didn't care about being afraid, "We are also human!" "Let's go, they will be killed in a while." The merchants argued vigorously.
Aidi looked around, and saw that several nearby boats were basically carrying merchants, and even some merchants were still pushing women who wanted to get on the boat. Seeing this, Eddie put down Afra and glared at the merchants around her, "Give it to me!" she shouted angrily, but the people still sat in the boat.
"What are you doing here?"
"Are you sick in the head, why don't you go down. ”
The merchants retorted, and even uttered dirty words. Aidi was suddenly angry, she waved her palm, and hit a merchant sitting on the bow of the ship in the air, and suddenly a wave of air exploded on him, and several people nearby were lifted into the sea by the huge force.
"Get out of here!"
Eddie shouted angrily, she had never lost her temper so much from the beginning to the end, and the merchants were afraid of magic, so they had to slowly and reluctantly step off the ship, "Hurry up!" Eddie shouted and waved his hand, and the merchants ran off the ship quickly.
They gathered together and looked angrily at the Aidi on the boat, "Damn the ****, you're not going to end well!" "You're going to hell." The merchants gathered together and cursed, and then the Eddie waved his hand at the merchants, and suddenly a flame rose from in front of them, which really frightened the group of merchants, and they looked at each other, and hurried to the way they came, and fled.
Seeing that the desperate merchants had fled, Eddie stepped off the boat and picked up a woman who had fallen to the ground, whose face was covered with dirt and tears, and who was obviously in great pain. Aidi helped her onto the boat and waved her arm to those who had not yet arrived, "Quick! we get out of here......".
Seeing that the enchanting with dozens of starry night knights covered in blood, walking towards the castle step by step, Bai Ling and the white rangers squatted on the platform, hiding their bodies, they clenched the longbow in their hands, and even their palms were full of nervous sweat, a relatively young white ranger, squatting beside Bai Ling, looked at Bai Ling with a nervous expression, waiting for orders, but Bai Ling just shook his head lightly, signaling her not to act rashly......
Enchanting led dozens of Starry Night Knights to the clearing in front of the stairs leading to the castle. The blood had already stained the neat hair on the bewitching head, and she shook off the remaining blood on the rose sword vigorously, and suddenly pieces of blood fell to the ground, forming a scarlet pattern. She looked at the terraces on both sides of the castle, but she didn't go straight forward.
At this time, an officer of the Starry Night Knight carried his long sword and quickly came behind the bewitching man, "My lord, the market has been cleaned up, and the troops behind are approaching here, waiting for your order at any time." Enchanting turned to look at the officer, and nodded solemnly, "Tell the troops, surround this place first, and never let one person go, and the others will check if there are other escape routes around ......."
At this moment, Bai Ling nodded vigorously to the white rangers around him, and quickly stood up with the bow and arrow that had been set up. Bai Ling aimed at the enchanting one, and an arrow broke through the wind, rushing straight towards the enchanting like lightning "Be careful, my lord!" Unexpectedly, the officer in front of the enchanting person pushed her away and flew in front of her, the arrow was nailed to his forehead, and a trace of blood instantly floated on the bewitching face.
The white rangers suddenly stood up and shot the bows and arrows in their hands one after another, and for a while, the arrows that flew from them poured into the open space where the enchanting one was located, and dozens of starry night knights had no time to resist, and they fell down one after another, their bodies full of flying arrows. The officer's body fell straight down on the bewitching body, and the dead officer fended off countless arrows for the enchantment.
Enchanting dragged his corpse and retreated. At this time, the troops behind the Starry Night Knights also rushed over, and they hurriedly picked up the shields in their hands, ran to the side of the bewitching, and covered her. The flying arrows crackled and struck the shield, obscuring all sounds.
At this time, the enchanting under the cover of the shield put down the officer's corpse and shouted, "Rush forward!" In the enchanting shout, the Starry Night Knight held the shield high and forced up the stairs step by step. Although the Starry Night Knights fell to the ground with arrows one after another, this did not stop them from swarming onwards.
Soon the Starry Night Knights were holding their shields and swords aloof, and crowded up the stairs. At this time, Bai Ling quickly shot the bow and arrow in his hand, and shouted "Stop them!" I saw that as soon as Bai Ling's shout fell, several white rangers quickly ran to the stairs with jars in their hands, and they all threw the heavy jars in their hands to the Starry Night Knights who were crowded in the stairs.
Just as the jars fell on them like falling stones. With the sound of the jar shattering, a large amount of white dye splashed everywhere, infecting their black armor, due to the viscosity of the white dye, the first few Starry Night Knights slipped and fell on the stairs, and the Starry Night Knights behind them wanted to rush up, but there was no gap to cross over, and for a while, the Starry Night Knights on the stairs fell into chaos.
Under the attack of a round of dye, several white rangers quickly took the torches that had been prepared and threw them into the crowd, the moment the torches came into contact with the white dye, the flames soared into the sky, emitting thick smoke, the starry night knights screamed and retreated, while the companions behind them rushed forward desperately, this time, causing the flames to burn on countless starry night knights.
As soon as Enchanting was about to look up at the stairs, an arrow would immediately fly at her, and she had to look down through the gap between her shields. I saw Bai Ling holding a bow and arrow aimed at him wholeheartedly, and kept shooting, obviously suppressing himself this time.
Seeing that it was not a way to go on like this, she had an idea, put away her rose sword, and slowly took out two delicate daggers from behind her waist, the sharp blades exuded a faint green light, and at the same time, the corners of her sharp eyes were also slightly bent, accompanied by a cruel smile, exuding bursts of gloomy murderous aura.
