Chapter 144: The Fall of the Rogue

"Yes!"

These soldiers all knew that Trist was not joking, he said who he was going to kill, and when he didn't fulfill it, he hurriedly rushed to the outer city to capture the four people who had escaped.

"Let's go and see, it's said that Rogue Rex has actually broken into my palace. Trist said lightly.

"Yes. Blake replied coldly, and walked forward.

"How far will it be to get to the city gates......" Elena asked anxiously with another backhand arrow, killing one of the archers who was trailing behind.

"It's almost there, it should be only a hundred meters!" Wallace replied.

"That's it, just turn over it and win!" Rex saw from afar the wall they had climbed over when they came, and at this moment Uncle Peter's carriage was waiting for them not far from the city gates, and as long as they could escape smoothly, the carriage would immediately carry them out of Rome.

"Traitor, dare to come to my royal city to rob people, are you impatient!"

There was a roar from afar, and immediately after, a sword aura struck, the strength of which even made Wallace's hairs all over his body explode!

"Damn, the sword just now, is it the attack of the Dark Knight Blake!"

"Oh no, Trist chased it out, and Blake!" Caterina shouted in horror.

"What should we do, the strength of either of these two guys is much higher than ours!" Elena also fell into a panic.

"Children, don't panic!" Rex shouted when he saw that the three of them had panicked. "Now we will be able to escape from the city at once! Ignore them, we will just break out of the city! Whether we live or die depends on whether God favors us or not!"

"Yes!"

As soon as the three of them heard this, they immediately surged up a desire to survive, and in order to be able to leave the Roman royal city alive, the four of them tried their best, exerting one hundred and two percent of their strength to run frantically towards the gate.

"Bastards, catch them for me!" Trist also spotted their intentions, urging the soldiers around him. "Blake, bring me my bow! the others can chase and kill slowly, but never let Caterina go!"

For Trist, Caterina is an important hostage in his hands, as long as she is still in his hands, Lucas I will not dare to act rashly, but once she is released, the harm caused will also be great, and at this time, killing her has become the best choice.

On the continent, Trist is known not only for his brutality and bloodlust, but also for his excellent archery, when he was young, he once hunted a deep sea beast, used its bones to make a pitch-black longbow, and followed the advice of a necromancer to use the lives of five hundred prisoners of war to attach a powerful necromancy to the weapon, making the longbow one of the most powerful weapons in Europe, the famous Eye of Hull.

"Everyone, hurry!" Rex saw that the city wall was in front of him, and hurriedly spread his light wings and flew up, and the other three were not to be outdone, and they all flew up, but they didn't notice at all, the gaze of the god of death was already approaching behind Katarina......

"Medium!"

Trist let out a loud cry, and the arrow, with a whimpering sob, flew towards Katarina, who knew nothing of it, and with an innocent smile on her face, she was flying hard against the wall......

"Oh no!" But Rex caught the trajectory of the arrow with his hearing that he had honed in his more than twenty years as a thief, and he was horrified to find that the arrow was aimed at Katarina, and if she died, the operation would lose all meaning, and Elena would not be able to account for her new leadership. Moreover, he couldn't watch such an innocent girl being killed in front of his eyes like this, she was innocent, and the only thing that caught her in this whirlpool was her royal identity......

Almost without hesitation, Rex used all his strength and leaped in the direction where the arrow was flying......

"Father!"

"Teacher!"

"Mr. Rogue?!"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing into the flesh was heard, and Wallace, Elena, and Caterina all realized what was happening in an instant, and immediately surrounded them.

"Bastard!" Trist didn't expect that the arrow he was determined to win was actually blocked, and Caterina was unscathed, and couldn't help but get angry, and without saying a word, another arrow was released!

Elena stared at Rex who fell in a pool of blood, and the past was replayed in front of her eyes, from her first acquaintance with Rex on that night, to Rex's care for herself, teaching herself martial arts, magic, archery, etc., and after reaching the end, Rex agreed to his request to rescue Katarina, and now that her physical strength and energy are not as good as before, she still wears the robe of a thief......

But now, his mentor has fallen on this land for this task!

But at this moment, the bowstring sounded for the second time, and another sharp arrow tore through the air!

Elena had already escaped her anger, and from the day her homeland was breached, she had already harbored a bitter hatred for the tyrant, and the arrow that hit her mentor at this time only brought this anger to its climax!

"Don't want to hurt my important people anymore!"

Elena condensed the light magic of her whole body, all of which was poured into the sharp arrows at her fingertips, and in an instant, the arrows shone like stars, and in Elena's roar, they turned into a vengeful meteor!

In this way, the sharp arrow shot by Trist was evaporated by Elena's blow, Elena's sharp arrow did not slow down in the slightest, and shot straight at Treist, Trist was startled and hurriedly flashed to the side, but he was still hit in the arm, and immediately the blood flowed!

"Whewβ€”β€”β€”β€”" Trist rolled off his horse, screaming loudly. "Kill this assassin who dares to assassinate me, quick!"

"Uncle Rogue Rogue, are you ...... for me" Caterina reacted instantly, Trist's arrow was originally aimed at herself, but Rex blocked it for herself with her own flesh and blood!

"Uncle Rogue Hold on! I'm β€”β€”β€”β€”"

Tears continued to fall down Caterina's face, she had lost her bearings by this time, frantically using her imperfect healing magic to heal Rex's wounds, but she couldn't stop the fountain wounds.

"Katerina...... Don't blame yourself, I'm a lot old, and it's ......a pity to die like this, it's a pity," Rex said weakly. "You're still young...... And follow your sister to recover Europe...... Ahem......"

"Don't talk, we'll get you a doctor right away!" Caterina hurriedly stopped.

β€œ...... I'm going to kill you!" Wallace's eyes were red, and he suddenly drew the remaining throwing knives, throwing them out in one fell swoop, each of which took the life of an enemy, and he felt that he couldn't vent it, and drew his short sword and dagger to kill the crowd.

"Don't go ......"

At this moment, Wallace's ankle was grabbed by a pair of weak hands.

"Father!" Wallace fell to his knees.

"We have to get the job done...... Escort Caterina out of ...... Escape from the ...... Hurry!"

At the end of the day, Rex shouted almost hoarsely, though it still sounded as a whisper.

β€œ...... Let's go, let's go!"

Wallace stood for three seconds, spat out the two words in a low but clear voice, turned and picked up the dying Rex, rolled over and flew over the wall.

"Katarina, let's take cover!"

Seeing that the soldiers wanted to chase and kill, Elena and Caterina used their strongest attacks, under the overwhelming rain of magic missiles and arrows, the soldiers couldn't raise their heads at all, and when everyone came to their senses, they found that the four had already fled and disappeared.

"Damn Rogue Rex, I'm going to tear you to pieces!"

Trist's angry roar pierced the sky, echoing for a long time, unable to be quelled.

The four of them found Uncle Peter, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly loaded the seriously injured Rex into the carriage, and took advantage of the night to gallop all the way out of the city of Rome, and soon marched to the outskirts of the wilderness, their target was the Gregorian Mountains, and the sky was already faintly white, which meant that the dawn was coming.

On top of the carriage.

"Father, father!" Wallace cried out to Rex frantically, his hands shaking violently as he clenched his cold hands, tears gushing out like pearls with broken threads.

"Teacher...... We are almost there!The doctor is waiting for you!" Elena was also grief-stricken in her heart, but she tried not to cry as much as possible, but comforted Rex with these false lies.

"......" but Caterina didn't say a word, and resolutely used healing spells, whether it was in vain or not, she was always doing her best to heal.

"All right, Princess Katerina...... I know your intentions, but I already know that my life is short, please don't waste your mana anymore......" Rex suddenly woke up, and his spirit seemed to have recovered a little, but everyone present knew that this was a return to light, but they were all surprised, and hurriedly cheered up.

"Princess Katarina, I know that you are a kind child, and I hope that no matter what you go through in the future, you will not lose the kindness you have now......"

"I promise you, Uncle Rogue ......," Caterina replied, choking up.

"Elena...... Don't feel guilty......" Rex observed the deep remorse on Elena's face, smiled and comforted, "It's my honor to die in this thief's leather suit...... It's just that I can't let you and Wallace ...... go."

"Teacher, please tell me ......" Elena knew that Rex was about to explain the aftermath, biting her lip tightly to prevent tears from slipping down.

"You must assist Princess Akali...... Bring light to our homeland......" Rex's eyes twinkled with yearning. "Justice in the Light...... is the true justice ...... Countering violence with violence is not a ...... of justice"

"Definitely, definitely, I promise you, after this mission is completed, I will join the Knights of the Dawn......" Wallace sobbed.

"And ...... The two of you are not too young...... I know your feelings...... Find the right time for your wedding by the Aegean Sea...... It's just a pity that I couldn't see ...... with my own eyes."

Rex struggled to put their hands together, and the two gritted their teeth and nodded.

"The last ......" Rex coughed heavily, blood spilling from his mouth. "I'm here to avenge Sophia...... Struggled all his life...... When I die...... Bury me with Sophia...... I couldn't be with her well in this life, and after I die, I will be with her forever......"

Wallace and Elena nodded again.

"The kids...... You must, live well...... This is me...... The last wish ......"

Before the three of them could answer, Rex's eyes slowly closed......

"Fatherβ€”β€”β€”β€”" Wallace cried out bitterly.

"Teacher, I will definitely avenge you, and one day, I will sword Trist to pay tribute to your heroic spirit!"

Elena looked south from afar and swore secretly.

At this moment, the first rays of the morning sun shone down on the earth, gilding Rex's pale and tired face with a layer of gold and a faint smile......

"Night, after all, is still over......"

Caterina looked to the east and said slowly, with an indescribable sadness on her face.

"yes, it's over......"

In the morning light, a simple carriage drove rapidly to the northwest and gradually disappeared......
