"Since the founding of the country, the Emperor's orders have never been denied. ”

Under the gaze of everyone, Marshal Tuyalav, who had finished reading out, suddenly said with a solemn face.

"It's just that the departure of the knights may weaken the defenses of the walled city, which is like a warrior being suddenly removed from his blade. ”

Ai Suyan was silent, he looked down at the wine glass in his hand, and many pure liquids were overflowing in it, reflecting his infinitely true face.

William coughed lightly and said, "So, tonight's parting feast may be the last time all of us will drink and talk." ”

Then his tone paused again, and the corner of his eye glanced at the prince and the others.

"Now, prepare your horses, and we'll be called to go!"

After some time, all the members of the Imperial Blade had all mounted their horses, and then stood solemnly at the opening of the city gate.

"This kid looks like he's going to be late again. William, the leader, suddenly looked behind him worriedly.

However, before the words fell, Aisuyan and Shaka flashed like angels.

"Are you all okay?" asked Asuyan, unaware of the knights' extremely strange eyes.

"A deer?" many knights reached out and rubbed their eyes at the same time, as if they had never seen such a spectacle before them.

Ai Suyan slowly approached with the "wind chime", and felt quite confused for a while.

"Is this the mount you chose?" asked William with an unchanging expression as he asked Essouyan, "then there is no doubt that its speed and endurance will be put to the test." ”

At this time, the ranks of the knights also exploded.

"Could it be that he was a servant of the Knights of the De Radova Stag? ”

"However, in the ancient legends of the elves, such a type of deer has been heard from time to time. ”

And the golden tiger cub in the hands of his attendants, whose skin was as young as a newborn baby. ”

"In any case, our task is only to welcome them before the supreme ruler of the entire empire. ”

Essyan pricked up his ears to listen, then nodded in understanding along with Shaka.

Then everyone sped up, and in the blink of an eye, they left the fortress behind them.

I don't know how long it took, but a knight beside William suddenly spoke again.

"It was deserted three years ago, and it doesn't live up to the name of the 'land of abundance' it used to be. ”

Ai Suyan was stunned suddenly: So soon, I returned here again?

The village in front of me existed lonely in front of people's eyes, and the light of the setting sun was shining down, turning the low thatched huts into black reflections and casting endless loneliness.

"Night is approaching, and the time to make a wish to the stars will soon come. The other knight said expectantly.

"It's a pity, after the outbreak of the war, the people were afraid of the danger, so they all spontaneously went to the south. William said with a sigh.

"Otherwise, the scene of people coming and going, and merchants flowing, will inevitably give the soldiers a higher encouragement..."

The crowd turned over and dismounted, and began to find their place in the village.

A few hours later, under the dark and distant sky, the members of the Imperial Blade, who had been sleepless all night, gathered in the place they had agreed in their hearts.

"Sometimes, as a battle-hardened knight, looking up at the stars is enough to bring you long-lasting hope and solace. ”

A knight reverently looked at the sky above him, as if the stars were beckoning his return.

"It's like I've finally found something to light up my soul..."

So more and more knights began to raise their heads, and the golden armor on their bodies reflected the light of the moon.

"Did you see that? What is that?" Then another knight looked sleepily at the horizon, "There is something there that I have never seen before. ”

Ai Suyan raised his head in surprise, and then a picture of being desperate came into view.

In the distant sky, a star wrapped in flames was moving closer to the center of the canopy.

William's mouth opened wide in astonishment, but he didn't say a word.

I saw that its front end was almost frighteningly inflated, and the red flames on the periphery were jumping and swaying like poisonous snakes, and the white core was surrounded by it, like some kind of hope that was about to be swallowed up.

"It's a comet!" shouted in unison.

Indeed, it was a comet, and as it dragged its long trail across the night sky, an indescribable fear erupted in everyone's eyes.

"Its tail is golden!" the knight exclaimed in surprise: "It's the Golden-tailed Comet! The Golden-tailed Comet is back!

He pointed his pale fingers to the sky, his body trembling slightly.

Even William and Prince, who had always been brave, were stunned as if they had been touched in some way.

I have long heard Master say that once this unique, golden-trailed comet descends on Denario's night sky, it is destined to set off an endless catastrophe that has never changed for thousands of years, just like the curse of the devil. Ai Suyan thought calmly.

At this time, William on the side also began to speak in a low voice.

"Throughout the history of the Denario continent, the Golden-tailed Comet has descended seven times and destroyed six dynasties, with only one surviving. ”

"The most recent was the night before the death of Silverwing King Ethor II. ”

Everyone cast inquiring eyes: "So, is the disaster really irrepressible?"

William said with some seriousness: "Legend has it that there is a strange celestial phenomenon that can turn a pure aura into a protection of the world. ”

"That is the once-in-a-lifetime 'Sacred Aurora', and as long as it appears in the sky, Denario is destined to usher in a hundred years of peace and prosperity. ”

"And what if both appear at the same time?" asked one of the knights, puzzled.

William touched his head: "Who knows... It is said that even on the ruins of the comet's destruction, the aurora can continue all its glory..."

As the night deepened, the silent crowd at this moment had mixed feelings in their hearts.

No matter who is among them, it is hard to imagine what kind of surging undercurrents are hidden in the imperial capital thousands of miles away.

In the north of Pompeii, on the top floor of the council hall, an old man with a solemn expression was standing.

In the darkness of the night, he raised his strong, powerful arm, and then carefully examined the armband on it.

In its center, a delicate cheetah motif seems to have long been tired of this small world, leaping out to give people a sense of life.

Then the moment the golden-tailed comet flashed, he raised his head in the same way.

"Oh... Is it a sign from heaven?" he murmured softly.

As the head of the Cheetah of the Four Founders Family, no matter what difficulties he encounters, he must not act rashly...

At the same time, the former advice of the family ancestors suddenly rang in his ears like a bell.

He only sighed softly, and the darkness of the night made his face even more gloomy.

However, for her sake, I'd rather give everything in my entire family and take revenge on that person...

"Hopefully, this operation will be successful as well. ”

He looked up at the starry sky, but there was no trace of confusion in his expression.

Just as the Imperial knights of the Land of Abundance were sleepy-eyed, a loud sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from far and near.

The fighters exclaimed in unison.

"It's so late, and someone is still coming to this place..."

However, before the words could be spoken, the person who came appeared in front of the knights.

Dressed in a black aristocratic uniform unique to the Holy Wing Empire, wearing a gray top hat, his skin was neither black nor white, his eyes were sharp, and he had a short sword engraved with a cheetah pattern pinned to his waist.

"Who are you?" asked William with a solemn expression.

However, no one expected that the visitor who turned over and dismounted would actually bend down politely in front of everyone, and then bow sincerely.

The knights were stunned for a moment.

"I am the messenger of the Speaker of the Imperial Parliament, Findah, and have been waiting for you around here for a long time. Then he lifted his body gracefully and said in a calm tone.

"Speaker Findall, does he have anything to explain?" asked William, seeming with interest.

"It's a shame to talk here, and I know there's a big house around here, would you like to come with me?" said the visitor, still very sincere.

"Okay. William finally agreed, after consulting with everyone, and then they entered a large house that was not very shabbyly decorated.

"It doesn't look like a farmer's house. Shaka fiddled with the delicate vase on a round table, and said in some surprise.

By this time everyone had already entered, and then the messenger continued unhurriedly: "My name is Ryker, and I am glad to be. Before I get to the point, I'm going to go out and check the environment, so please wait. ”

The knights' expressions looked a little incomprehensible: what was the matter of what importance to take such pains to intercept us on the way?

Lake pushed the door open, and the crowd waited with bated breath.

For a moment, there was silence.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, a quarter of an hour had quietly passed away, and William suddenly stood up in confusion.

"It's strange, for such a long time, this guy hasn't even seen a shadow!"

At this moment, all the knights seemed to realize something, and at the same time stood up suddenly, and then William reached out and pulled the handle of the door hard, but did not move.

Taken aback, William began to slap the center of the gate hard, but it was still difficult to get into the outside world.

"It's a prison. With a cold sweat on his forehead, William turned to the knights and said, "The door is iron and locked, and that fellow has deceived us. ”

The knights were shocked, and at this time, Ai Suyan suddenly drew his sword, and his face was full of anger.

I saw that he began to swing his blade heartily, and then a silver sword qi struck towards the iron gate with thunder.
