Chapter 296: Sniping
Arslan had never felt this weird. [No pop-up novel network]
In this hall of the temple, it was still so empty, the huge candles flickering around, and the shadows on the ground seemed to be fluttering.
Master Promethean was still mysterious, and Arslan knelt there on one knee, his head vertical, still feeling the oppressed gaze on his back.
She exhaled softly, raised her head, and said in a deep voice, "Is this your order?"
"It was the decision of the Presbyterian Church. Promethean's voice was calm without a trace of emotion: "That envoy of the Empire of Light must die on the land of Roland 6...... You must complete your mission before they go to sea. You know, above the ocean, we can't deal with the navy of the Kingdom of Sauron. ”
Arslan suddenly had an extremely strange feeling in his heart.
In the past, when facing Promethean, I always felt an inexplicable pressure in my heart, as if the person who was above me was an invincible existence that could not even be matched at all. Promethean just stood there quietly, but with a casual look, he seemed to be able to see through all his thoughts. Standing in front of this man, he is like a sheep facing a lion. Although this lion is always so calm, there is always something in the calm that makes him fear from the bottom of his heart......
But today, Promethean is still standing in front of him, and the kind of thing that makes him afraid in his heart seems to have become much lighter...... As if ......
He's weak?!
Arslan was taken aback by her own idea, and although she hung her head, there was a hint of murder in her eyes.
If...... If I strike now, or if I only need a sword......
Once this thought comes to me, it grows like a weed in summer. Arslan was even so excited that his body trembled slightly. The fists were secretly clenched.
But then, I felt that the gaze on my back seemed to be much sharper, the heavy pressure, and the gaze that seemed to be like a real entity. Arslan almost felt a tingling sensation, and a drop of sweat ran down her forehead. Finally sighed, lifted his head slightly, and replied in a respectful and serious tone.
"As you wish. Master Promethean!"
After speaking, she stood up gently, lifted her cloak, and strode out of the Divine Temple.
Behind him, Promethean quietly watched as the strongest warrior of the dragon clan walked out, and he was the only one left in the hall again. He seemed to sigh secretly.
"These reptiles, the more you practice, the harder you can control them......" He seemed to purse his lips slightly: "A paladin doesn't seem to be enough...... Well, why not add another one......"
The day of departure has come.
The Empire of Light's envoy, Lord Count Roddy, set out on his journey home with his mysterious companion. The king made enough respect and courtesy. even personally led the honor guard to send Luo Di and his party out of the royal capital ten miles away.
Subsequently, the old magician, Lord Sith, also became part of his entourage, and according to the king, the old magician became their bodyguard.
And the other one who followed the team was Princess Ruolan. The high-sounding statement is that the princess represents the royal family's farewell envoy...... But most people prefer to believe that the princess is the three beautiful female companions who covet the envoy's side.
To Ruolan's regret, Seth and Black Yarn and Nidith were always sitting in the carriage and did not show up, and Princess Ruolan, uh...... Given her weight and size, she couldn't squeeze into the same carriage with three beauties.
And she wore a set of mighty knight's armor and rode a specially selected war horse - Roddy even wondered if the war horse had been specially bred and probably made according to the way the perverted chariot war horses were raised. Otherwise, how can you carry Ruolan?
After three days of unhurried and unhurried journey, his subordinates announced that twenty miles ahead of him was a port in the south of the kingdom of Sauron, from where it would only take three days to reach the Empire of Light by boat.
A mountain terrain appeared on the horizon, and in the distance was a narrow valley mouth.
Roddy was riding on his horse, and when he saw the terrain in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh.
It's really the perfect place for an ambush.
I already had the consciousness that something would happen in my heart, and the three days of calm in front of me had already made Luo Di very satisfied. The horsewhip in his hand pointed to the canyon in front of him, and Roddy smiled, "Is that the place the only way to the docks?"
The old magician rode beside Roddy and smiled, "Yes, through that place, and beyond that there is the port." ”
Luo Di laughed: "The terrain here is a little strange, and there are very few mountains on the Big 6 that are so close to the coast. ”
The old magician nodded, but there was something strange on his face: "This long mountain range is not natural...... , but people made it. The mountain range in front of the Earl is a natural barrier created by large-scale earth-based magic. ”
"Oh?" Roddy's eyes lit up.
The old magician smiled faintly: "A few hundred years ago, in the era of the Abbasid Emperor of your country, in a war between the two of us Big 6, the whip of the thunder god of your country crossed the Thundering Strait, and there was a big battle between us near here...... Because it was too difficult to defeat your cavalry legion on the plains of the wilderness, and there were plains with flat rivers nearby, there was no stronghold to defend them, and it took almost half of the magicians of Roland 6 to create such a mountain range as a natural barrier!"
Saying this, the old magician pointed to the gap in front of him, which was a canyon.
"That place is a gap made by magic, when we Roland people built a fortress there, and there we firmly held the Thor's Whip against the coastal area, and finally the Thor's Whip was unable to break through our hinterland because it was fighting across the sea, and was firmly trapped there. ”
Speaking of these past events, the old magician seemed to be a little proud, after all, the number of victories over the Empire of Light by the Roland people was too rare, and that victory was once written in the history books of the various kingdoms of Roland 6.
Of course, Roddy knew that history, but nodded faintly.
That history is just one example of Abbasid the Great's faintness in his later years. In order to conquer Roland 6, almost half of the army of the Bright Empire was moved, but it was blocked by the powerful Roland Navy at sea, and most of the army was lost at sea, and the army of Noto 6 was also dilapidated, lacking supplies and materials.
As the procession approached the valley, it was not long, and the exit from one end could be faintly seen. Obviously, there is a limit to manpower, and this natural mountain range that has been created by relying on the power of the entire Roland 6 magician for many years is not too tall.
Seeing that Luo Di didn't answer, the old magician also closed his mouth, after all, in the face of the most powerful army commander in the family, the old magician didn't have such a thick skin when he said how powerful his side was.
Moreover, in the recent war, hundreds of thousands of troops were beaten by others and surrendered all of them, which is a fact that can be seen in front of us.
Sith was faintly anxious in his heart, and the king's order before he came was to take advantage of the chaos to kill Roddy while the temple was sniping. But it's been three days, and I haven't even seen a shadow of a little sniping.
Seeing that there was a dangerous terrain ahead, the old magician's thoughts were the same as Roddy's.
This is undoubtedly the best place to snipe - and besides, this is the last chance left on the way.
Sure enough, when this thought flashed through the minds of both Roddy and the old magician, one of the royal knights escorting the guard suddenly shouted, "There is someone ahead!"
I saw that in the valley, a white war horse slowly ran out!
Immediately sat a knight, dressed in a suit of pure black armor, with a bright red cloak that hunted in the wind, but the sword in his hand was different from the huge slashing sword used by ordinary knights, it was a slender and long sword.
Immediately, the knight did not wear a helmet, his hair fluttered in the wind, and his cold face had a solemn expression!
"Your Excellency Lord Rodi, I'm sorry, but this is the only way forward for you!"
Arslan didn't seem to shout out of breath, but these seemingly calm words came from afar, and fell into everyone's ears with great clarity!
Immediately, the paladin waved his hand lightly, and a team of heavily armed black-armored knights rushed out of the canyon!
Each of the knights wore black armor, except that all of their capes were white.
The equipment and armor of these people are all in the style of the standard Holy Knights, but the white cloak means that they are not ordinary soldiers of the Holy Knights, all of them are high-level knights with high ranks!
There were not many people on the other side, only about three hundred, and a dense falling formation was lined up along the intersection of the canyon.
The sword in Arslan's hand was raised high and swung twice in midair. Immediately, from the top of the mountain range, several figures floated up. The men were dressed in white magician's robes. Immediately, strong magic fluctuations were faintly heard in mid-air!
The magic fluctuated so strongly that even the old magician Sith's face changed a little!
Five magicians floated in mid-air, the middle one, dressed in a bright red robe, like a red cloud.
Old Sith's face tightened, and he said, "The Sage in Red!"
