Volume 2: The Game of Zero Chapter 11 Wave after Wave
"Because his surname is Gu, he is the daughter of the current royal monarch Gu Mingcheng."
Ye Qingyun noticed that Ning He didn't show a surprised expression, as if he had known it for a long time.
"But... This is a game, even if Gu Ziqing is a princess......"
Ye Qingyun looked at him with some pity, Ning He and Gu Ziqing seemed to have really come together. He had expected this outcome, but he didn't know whether it would be good or bad in the future.
"Until now, do you still think it's a game? Ning He, how long will you have to wait to wake up? In other words, take off your guards. ”
Ye Qingyun's voice was a little indifferent, and he looked up at Douglas, who was being supported by two knights and was walking towards this side.
Zhu Yaotang pouted slightly, Chen Yuan and Lin Ling looked at each other and didn't speak.
"......" Ning He was silent for a moment and nodded, "I see." ”
"Ahem, I can't think of it, you... Ahem, ahem, I survived......"
Douglas walked in, one hand on his waist, wrapped around several bandages, soaked in blood.
Apparently the injury was not light.
Zhu Yaotang smiled: "Didn't the adults survive too?" ”
"Huh." Douglas turned his head to look at Ye Qingyun and Chen Yuan, "Don't you introduce these two strangers to me?" ”
"They are my friends, Ye Qingyun and Chen Yuan." Ning He spoke.
"Hmm." Douglas nodded, "That's it, we'll change our itinerary for the next part and go to the nearest town to resupply." They were knights from the Knights of the Holy Radiance and would escort us to the nearest town. This is the Knight Captain of the Knights of the Holy Radiance, Darnell Leyva. ”
As he spoke, he nodded to a middle-aged knight who was dressed like Douglas in a knight's outfit, except that the color and pattern of his armor changed.
"My name is Darnell Leyva." Darnell nodded to everyone, his gaze stayed on Ye Qingyun and Chen Yuan, and his voice was a little dull: "This is the end of the matter here, we will escort you to the nearest White Lamb Town." Ye Qingyun and Chen Yuan, it's time for you to return to the team. ”
Ye Qingyun glanced at Ning He helplessly and shrugged. Chen Yuan hugged Lin Ling and parted gently.
The two left with Darnell, and before leaving, Ye Qingyun also made a cheering gesture towards him and Lin Ling.
It looks like this game is going to be played on its own.
Ning He sighed in his heart, Ye Qingyun and Chen Yuan came and went quickly, and his eyes changed.
Douglas watched Dinel go away with the two strangers, and waved tiredly, "Prepare to go, you are the only three soldiers I have now besides the knights." ”
Ning He smiled bitterly when he saw the knight who was supporting Douglas beside him.
Soon, the team set off again, but with a different group of people and a group of dead.
Douglas rode on a brown-and-yellow warhorse, his eyes glazed and somewhat decadent.
When the news from his side reaches his father and the head of the regiment, what kind of punishment will greet him.
Probably, the rising star of the Io Kingdom may be about to become a human.
"Your Excellency......" approached from the knight and his voice was respectful, he was the one who had been sent by Douglas to explore the way before. He found reinforcements and saved Douglas at the last minute. As for the other knight who followed Douglas, he was now buried at the edge of the woods.
"Tell me something." Douglas frowned slightly.
"My lord, I would like to apply for the transfer of your Servant Knight."
Douglas turned his head suddenly, looked at him motionlessly, and said word by word: "What did you say?" ”
The Knight was not deterred by Douglas's actions, as if he had expected it, he continued in a steady voice: "According to the rules of the Addams family, the Knight has the right to be free after rescuing his master, and I now demand that this rule be fulfilled. ”
Douglas looked at him in a daze and couldn't speak, the two horses were moving forward slowly, the surrounding members of the Holy Radiance Knights and Ning He who were hanging behind all heard the conversation, and they all showed surprised looks, especially the members of the Knights, many people's eyes were cast as if they were nothing.
"Why?"
Douglas's voice was low and hoarse, his shoulders trembling slightly, and he was full of rage, which made him angrier than he was attacked by that damn group of masked black armor! His servant knight actually wants to leave him!
"My lord, I'm tired of living like this. Since I was a child, I have been sent to your family, the Addams family, to be trained as a knight, and I have been training as a knight day after day, constantly honing my swordsmanship. In your year of adulthood, I became your Servant Knight, a thing that I am proud of, and I have made a vow of allegiance to you for the rest of my life. ”
The knight took a sharp turn as he took off his helmet, revealing a face that had been battered by the vicissitudes of life.
"I had expected that the life of a knight would grow old with me, but the two days of the flight had given me time to think about many things, and I became disgusted with such a life and began to fear it. I began to yearn for peace, hoping to grow old in the quiet years... And it just so happens that I have been given a precious opportunity to be the Savior, so I am here to ask you to let me go. ”
Douglas looked at the knight who had been with him for many years, his eyes were not sharp, and his expression was already old. He knew that his servant knight was indeed no longer good, and he was discouraged by this ambush.
Thinking of this, he carefully recalled the relevant regulations of the family, and Douglas slowly spoke: "According to the rules of the Addams family, I, Douglas Adams, are relieved of both obligations with my subordinate knight Robert Masi. At this point, Robrotto Marcy had nothing to do with the Addams family, and this decision was witnessed by all the Knights of the Holy Radiance present," Douglas glanced at Zhu Yaotang behind him, "and the three strangers. ”
With that, Douglas drew his knight's sword, and he held it a little more smoothly than the armor of his knight, and the moment his sword returned to its scabbard, Robrotus ceased to be his servant knight.
Robertus bowed gratefully to Douglas, "Thank you, sir!" ”
"Let's go." Douglas put away his sword and looked straight ahead.
The surrounding knights of the Divine Radiance made way for the knight, watched him dismount, and led his horse onto the ridge beside the road to make way for their team.
From now on, he is no longer a knight, just a commoner. If you want to leave, you always have to pay a price.
Robert exhaled slowly, looked at the knight's sword in his hand, touched the mane of the old man beside him, and smiled.
......
The team was already approaching White Lamb Town, and Douglas became a little more energetic at this time, and the young man slowed down his horse and walked side by side with Zhu Yaotang.
Lin Ling and Ning He were both sitting on the horse-drawn cart in the back, and there were also a lot of blood-stained weapons and armor piled on it, all of which were recovered from the Knights of the Holy Radiance when they were cleaning the battlefield.
The kingdom of Io has no more mineral resources than the Empire, and their reuse of every piece of armor and weapon is outrageous. However, it is precisely because of this that the individual combat ability of the Io Kingdom far exceeds that of the Empire.
The three major knight orders of the kingdom, the Holy Radiance, the Holy Sword and the Holy Shield Knights, are all feared by the border army of the other empire, except for a few elite troops of the empire, few imperial troops will take the initiative to fight against the three major knights.
The Knights of the Kingdom are not pure knightly troops in the traditional sense, they have their own sergeant guards and a complete set of logistics supply and recruitment system, so they are also relatively closed. Among them, the Knights of the Holy Sword and the Holy Shield are in the hands of the King, while the Knights of the Holy Radiance are in the hands of the Church of Light.
Zhu Yaotang looked at Tianjiao in front of him, who took the initiative to talk to him, and smiled faintly, "My lord." ”
"Hmm." Douglas nodded and went straight to the point: "Are you willing to be my servant knight?" ”
"I don't want to." Zhu Yaotang had a headache, this young man was too persistent on this issue.
"Why?"
Zhu Yaotang raised his head and thought for a while, "Because we are 'strangers', 'strangers' have been in a foreign land for a long time, and they will eventually return to their hometown." And will adults be able to trust me? We've only been meeting for two days, so why force us. What's more, I'm also old, I'm forty or fifty years old, and I'm not qualified to be your servant knight. ”
Douglas's face was slightly gloomy, and Zhu Yaotang's words reminded him of some rumors he had heard in the church that these strangers might have strange resurrection abilities, and they wouldn't stay here forever.
"Forget it......" Douglas shook his head, dispelling the idea. He was right, even though Zhu Yaotang has amazing martial arts and can't see the depth of strength, he is a stranger after all. After thinking about this article clearly, Douglas's attitude towards Zhu Yaotang has changed a little.
"So what do you do next? I mean the three of you. When I return to the Knights of the Holy Sword, I will be dismissed, and I was originally going to let you join the Order as my guard, but now I don't have a chance. ”
Douglas laughed at himself.
"Can we leave on our own, then?"
Zhu Yaotang raised his eyebrows.
Douglas pondered for a moment, his eyes scanning back and forth between Zhu Yaotang and Ning and Lin Ling in the rear car, and finally replied, "After entering White Lamb Town, you will be redispatched to other armies after registering." ”
"Can it only be the army?"
"Or else? Truth be told, the entire kingdom of Io has mobilized the entire kingdom to welcome your army of strangers in an unprecedented way to ensure that all of you can do the right things in the right positions. ”
"Looks like they're going to die." Zhu Yaotang sighed.
Douglas was silent, this is the life of a stranger.
The scenery on both sides of the road gradually changed, the fields began to be cultivated more and more, and some wooden houses also appeared in Ninghe's field of vision, and Ninghe could see people working with ancient farming tools, and occasionally merchants and horses standing on the ridges to make way for their army.
"Here we are."
The speed of the carriage slowed down, Ning He looked at the wooden gate about three meters high in front of him and the sergeant standing aside, the tense nerves of the past two days relaxed, and the intense consumption brought by spiritual vision was also reflected at this moment.
His eyes were getting heavier and heavier, and he couldn't hold on as the carriage passed through the shadows of the city gates.
Zhu Yaotang could only hear an exclamation behind him.
"Peaceful!"
He turned around, and Ning He had already fallen off the plank. Fall on a muddy road.
