Chapter 55: Waiting

There was a chaotic and dense sound of footsteps in the woods, and a group of panicked knights ran out of it, and when they saw the great lord Ferdin, they finally found the backbone, stopped and asked in unison, "Lord Lord, what should we do?"

"What the hell is going on in the woods?" asked Fordin.

"Monster!"

"Demons!"

......

The knights replied in a rambling manner, and though they said different things, they conveyed the same meaning - the things in the woods were terrifying.

Furding scolded, "Shut up, form a defensive formation, and prepare to meet the enemy." ”

After all, it was a well-trained Holy Light Knights, and after hearing the Great Lord's order, they quickly formed a defensive formation. But Ferding found something very embarrassing, and he asked, "What about your weapons?" Many of them were empty-handed, without weapons and shields, and even if these knights were to be battle-hardened, their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

Someone replied, "When I fell from the waterfall, I was lost in the river, and some ......."

"What's wrong with the others?" asked Fordin.

"Some of them were lost while fighting those monsters in the woods. ”

"See what you can use around you, and try to arm yourself as much as you can!" Fording ordered.

After a few moments, the knights were "ready" with a variety of weapons in their hands. Those who had stout branches as improvised spears were already well armed, and some could only hold one or two stones.

The team slowly advanced into the woods, and in the process, people kept running back from the woods in front of them, and then Fording was incorporated into the group. Furding made a rough estimate that there were about a thousand people in the group. This time, the Holy Light Knights sent 3,000 elites to the east, which can be said to be overwhelming. After the fierce battle on the top of the mountain and the thrilling rappelling on the waterfall, there were still these people left around him, and it can be said that they suffered heavy losses.

The deeper he walked into the woods, the more clearly he felt the nervousness of his subordinates, who had escaped from the woods, and who were extremely nervous despite the presence of the great lord Ferdin.

"Look, my lord!"

Fordin heard that the torches had not yet fully illuminated the road ahead, and he had already smelled a thick smell of blood. On the ground, where the firelight first illuminated, lay a gnawed thigh bone, the blood and tendons on it were still fresh. More torches were lit in front of them, illuminating the neighborhood clearly, and the tragic situation in front of them made everyone gasp. Torn to shreds, almost irrefutable human limbs and organs strewn everywhere, it was as if they had walked into a slaughterhouse.

Something fell on the head of one of the knights, and with a touch of his hand, he found himself holding a bloody, slimy intestine. Rao is this knight who has experienced a hundred battles, and he can't help but be startled, and with a loud cry, he hurriedly tore the intestine off his head and threw it.

The intestines fall on someone else's head, causing a chain reaction and exclamations are incessant. The emotions of everyone were already extremely nervous, and they were even more panicked when they saw this hellish scene, and then catalyzed by this incident, the scene was completely out of control, and the originally tight defensive formation was also disrupted by the people who fled in all directions.

In the midst of the chaos, deep in the woods, where the firelight could not illuminate, a frantic roar rang out of the darkness, piercing the entire night sky.

At the same time, the city of Huadu at night is still prosperous, especially the gate of the Prince of Orleans, but the prince's palace is very quiet.

Li Xiang said: "Regarding the matter of the princess, please also ask His Royal Highness the Prince to mourn." "Since the death of the Princess, he has not had time to greet the Prince of Orleans.

A trace of sadness flashed between the prince's eyebrows, although he and Miss Angela were politically married, but the two had a very good relationship after being together for a long time. The prince said, "Thank you for your concern. You must be thrilling on your way here today, right?"

Li Xiang said: "His Royal Highness the Prince rescued me from prison, and I haven't had time to thank me. I also brought this big trouble to the prince outside the door of the prince's palace, and I am really sorry to say it. ”

The Prince of Orleans waved his hand and said, "There is no need to mention this in the friendship between you and me, this matter must be cleared up by you no matter what, as long as I have a request for the dragon slayer in the future, I hope you will be on my side." ”

Li Xiang nodded and said, "That's nature. "The Prince of Orleans has always taken good care of Li Xiang, even if the two use each other, the prince has done more than Li Xiang, and Li Xiang owes him a favor. "Although it's a little difficult to say, I still have to trouble His Royal Highness, and I still ask His Highness to think of a way to deal with the matter of Luokan. ”

The prince said, "I knew you would bring it up, and to tell you the truth, I don't have anything to do." However, Lehman presided over the investigation of this matter, and he kept emphasizing the evidence, and he ignored anyone who pressured him to execute Lokan immediately. So, for now, there is still no danger in Lokan. ”

"Is there no room for manoeuvre?"

The prince said: "Not for the time being, if we want to save Lokan from the predicament, we can only wait until things turn around." The Prince of Orleans had already made his words very clear, and Li Xiang nodded and said no more.

After a brief dinner in the Prince's Mansion, Li Xiang was ready to go home. Before leaving, the Prince of Orleans instructed: "You have seen how lively I have here, and I advise you to go out less recently." "Needless to say, Li Xiang also made up his mind not to show up if he didn't have to, the battle outside the prince's mansion, if he himself appeared, it was estimated that he would have been divided.

After returning home without danger all the way, Li Xiang called Catherine and the little prince Sasario to him, and said to the two: "It's been very unpeaceful outside recently, so don't go out." He stressed again to the little prince. "Especially you, don't forget that you are grounded, and you are not allowed to step out of the gate of the villa for half a step!" "Last time, the little prince was playful, and a dragon body appeared on the tower of Gondolin, which caused a great commotion in the palace, and was grounded by Li Xiang until now.

The little prince pouted and frowned, and he was very unhappy at first glance.

Li Xiang raised his voice a little more: "Did you hear that?"

The little prince nodded reluctantly, reluctantly agreeing.

At the headquarters of the Dragon Beauty Guild, Tyrone reported to President Black Rose: "President, things are going according to plan. Lehman did a great job. ”

Black Rose asked, "Where is Li Xiang?"

"As we expected, now we just have to wait for the time to come. ”

Black Rose smiled and said, "For a child, I'm afraid that overprotection will really make him suffer from it." ”
