Chapter 65: Unanticipated Rescue
"Your Royal Highness, I'm sorry, the slave family and my sister are in a hurry, and I hope you can understand. ”
Hoss just smiled, this explanation was not convincing at all, and the other party obviously knew that no explanation was useful in the current situation, but he didn't intend to puncture it.
After learning about Harrow's true identity from the Imperial Intelligence Service, Hoth has actually been thinking about one thing, that is, whether there is any possibility that this "Northland Wise Wolf" could be involved in the assassination of Peter III.
And the conclusion he came to was that, judging from Helo's reputation, character rumors, and range of friends, from normal logic, the other party had no reason to assassinate the emperor to make enemies with the Prud Empire.
Coupled with the objective investigation of the course of the incident that he saw afterwards and the appearance of the sisters, especially the younger sister, Hoss actually has some bias in his heart to think that the Helo sisters should have nothing to do with the assassination, this little girl of the wolf clan is obviously still a child who has never seen anything on the market, according to Hoss's understanding of his own royal brother, it is definitely Peter III who saw that the little girl was so beautiful so he became lustful, forcing people to resist more likely.
However, although the suspicion of the wolf sister assassins has greatly diminished, a new suspicion has arisen in Hoss's heart.
If the other party really wasn't an assassin, why would they flee in such a hurry?
If there are only two sisters, it is natural to escape privately in order to avoid right and wrong, but at the moment, it is obvious that someone is helping the two sisters behind their backs, no matter who is helping the two sisters or the force, since they have the ability to send the two sisters out of the city at this time, why not find a way to help the two sisters clear their grievances?
You know, although the royal brother Peter III is somewhat ...... is extreme, but Prime Minister Butler, who is the two important ministers of the empire, and himself are not people who distinguish between right and wrong, as long as the actual situation is explained, it is obviously much better to clear up grievances than to flee in private.
Unless, someone wants them to leave as soon as possible, and then let them who can't be caught carry the black cauldron of assassinating the emperor on their backs.
Thinking like this, Hoss set his eyes on the squad leader, and put away the kindness on his face and replaced it with a dignified expression.
"Your name, and your military position. ”
The squad leader stood up in fear.
"Return, back to Your Highness, my subordinate is the captain of the subordinate detachment of the 11th Company of the Fourth Column of the Guards Regiment, whose name is Luther. ”
"Captain Luther," Hoss seemed nonchalant, but there was an unmistakable aura of superiority in his tone, "Tell me, who gave you the right to take people out of town tonight?"
The squad leader suddenly sweated like rain, and his face turned pale.
There are quirks.
Hoss snorted coldly.
"Captain Luther, you have to think clearly, you are blatantly ignoring the imperial order, the crime is unforgivable, even if it is a death sentence. ”
The team leader was immediately frightened, lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, and then spoke in a slurching manner.
"I, I said, yes-hmm, ahem, yes-breathing......"
Suddenly, the squad leader's voice seemed to be cut off by something, and then he showed a full frightened expression, his two hands covered his neck, his face turned from red to purple, slightly blue, his chest rose and fell violently, and his mouth was also long, as if he wanted to pant hard, but he couldn't breathe, but the despair in his eyes was getting heavier and heavier, and he couldn't help but look weird.
"Hey, what's wrong with you!"
"Something is wrong, Your Highness, please be careful!"
Hoss looked at the strangely shaped squad leader in surprise, and subconsciously wanted to support the other party forward, but the axe of the god of war that followed closely by Hoss's side immediately took action to pull Hoss back and protect him, the mercenary-born god of war axe knew very well that there were all kinds of incomparably weird and puzzling but dangerous killing techniques in this world, so seeing the tragic situation of the squad leader at the moment, the axe of the god of war subconsciously went into a state of alert, and while protecting Hoss with his body, he put one hand on the giant axe behind his back.
However, the team leader did not make any aggressive movements, he just struggled in pain, and after a while, he fell to the ground with a purple face, obviously suffocating to death.
Even the well-informed Herro was stunned, she didn't feel any signs of magic release at all for a moment just now, you must know that according to the standard of human magic strength, she can at least be regarded as a magician above the six-star arcane mage, but in the short meeting just now, she didn't feel the fluctuation of magic power around her at all.
Instead, Cheruth suddenly felt a strange feeling, she could clearly feel some kind of mutation in the squad leader's body, a mutation that felt familiar to her, but she didn't know what it was.
Just as the scene fell into an eerie silence due to the sudden death of the squad leader, suddenly a voice rang out.
"Miss Virtuous Wolf, please leave now while you are ready!"
The horses, which had been at peace in front of the carriage, suddenly neighed, as if stimulated by something, and took a step and rushed towards the soldiers who were blocking the way.
Hero and Cheruth, as well as Hoss next to the carriage, were all taken aback, Hero and Cheruth didn't expect such an unfolding at all, and Hoss was the same, he had basically thought that the Harrow sisters were innocently used, he didn't expect the other party to use such extreme means, and almost subconsciously overturned his previous judgment and listed Helo and the two as sinners.
"Don't let them run!"
The axe of the god of war was the first to respond, although his strength was already at the peak of the continent, he also knew that it was not his strong point to consider problems, so he didn't think about it so much, and from the beginning he made up his mind to only listen to Hoss's arrangement.
"Take it!"
Pulling out the giant axe from behind his back, the axe of the god of war tried to stop in front of the carriage, but at the moment when he turned around, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and saw a young thief dressed in ordinary clothes appear near him at some point, and made a stop gesture with a palm standing up at him.
In an instant, a strange force struck the whole body of the God of War Axe, and his forward movement actually stopped abruptly, obviously the power on his legs did not decrease at all, but it seemed that he was unable to move forward as if he was hindered by some huge obstacles.
The power of the law?!
This thought flashed in the head of the God of War Axe instantly, on the continent of Areth, after the strength reached the six-star arcane mage or master level fighting qi, if you want to cultivate upwards to become a sage or hero, you must continue to refine and improve your personal strength while comprehending the power of the law. Therefore, when he felt that he could not move, he immediately realized that this was neither magic nor vindictiveness, but pure law.
The so-called laws have been born since the beginning of the existence of this world, and stipulate the basic norms for the development of all things in the world. At this time, what the Axe of the God of War bears is a law that cannot move forward...... There is no need for reason, no need for cause and effect, the most basic norms of this world do not allow him to move forward, nothing more.
"Who are you?"
Prince Hoth also noticed this uninvited guest who appeared here at some point, and couldn't help but retreat a few times in anger to the back of the Axe of the God of War, this person was able to sneak into such a close distance from him in the midst of heavy surrounding, if the other party wanted to kill him...... That really creeped Hauss.
"Drink!"
A golden fighting aura erupted from the whole body of the God of War Axe, and a subtle sound of glass breaking sounded, and the laws that bound him and prevented him from moving forward were suddenly broken.
However, instead of continuing to pursue the carriage of Herro, he waved his subordinates in pursuit, while he stared at the young thief in front of him.
“...... Who are you, and why are you able to use the power of the law?"
Huo Si, who was also directing the soldiers to pursue the carriage, heard this, and almost sat on the ground in fright, but he knew very well that only a seven-star sage or a hero-level fighting spirit warrior could use the power of the law.
The young thief did not speak, but beckoned, and from both sides of the street immediately appeared many men in black exactly as they had been when Peter III had been assassinated during the day, and rushed to the soldiers who were pursuing the carriage.
The axe of the god of war glared at the young thief angrily, he wanted to rush forward and knock down this opponent who didn't seem to have the slightest strength, but the strange power of the law just now made him a little jealous of this young man, no matter what, the person who can use the power of the law will not be a good stubble.
It doesn't matter if it's just him, but now he has Prince Hoth behind him, which makes the Axe of War a bit of a mouse.
"What exactly is your purpose?"
The other party just glanced at him lightly, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and looked at Hoth and the axe of the god of war with a smile on his face.
"Give up, I won't let you disturb Lord Harrow's plans. ”
