Chapter 133: The Mountain Castle
"This man is supposed to be part of Elena's personal guard. Akali whispered. "Elena's personal guards are all sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, all dressed in neat white ranger costumes, and their weapons are also uniform longbows and two daggers, they are the most elite warriors of the Wings of Light, trained by Elena herself, and they inflicted a great blow on the warriors of our Rucas kingdom. ”
"May I ask who is Princess Akali?" the girl quickly spotted the three of them and walked over.
"I am. Akali replied.
"My young lady wants you to go to the fortress and meet her. The girl said expressionlessly, her eyes flashing with full vigilance, and she seemed to be very hostile to Akali.
"Then you'll lead the way. Akali said unimpressed.
"Please follow me. ”
With that, the three of them followed the girl's steps and entered the dense jungle.
After a while, the three of them came to a valley and found that a solid fortress appeared in front of them, like a castle in the mountains, chic and strong.
"I didn't expect that there was such a castle hidden in these mountains. Akali suddenly realized. "No wonder my father lost to Elena's troops, such a tight defensive system, without overwhelming numerical superiority, is very difficult to break. ”
Yunhai didn't really understand Western fortress architecture, so he didn't say much, while Fluttershy looked at the castle structure curiously, knocking here and there, muttering, "It doesn't seem to be as strong as the city of our Asura Realm......"
"Then it doesn't need to be said that the stones in your Asura Realm are harder than the ones outside, can there be a way to compare?" Yun Hai said lightly.
"That's what I said, seriously......" Fluttershy pouted.
The three of them walked through a winding corridor, witnessed the strong defense of the entire fortress, and finally saw Elena the Light Ranger in the main hall, at this time she was standing in front of the throne in the center, wearing a white ranger costume, looking at the three of Akali seriously, holding a longbow made of unknown metal, reflecting a soft white light in the firelight, Yunhai could feel that this longbow was endowed with powerful light attribute magic, but I am afraid that its strength should not be underestimated.
"Princess Akali, the last time we met, you were a child, but now you look like a princess. ”
Elena's first sentence showed her contempt for Akali, as if Akali was just a little hairy child in her eyes, and sure enough, Reinhardt was instantly angry and said, "Please maintain respect for Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"She's your princess, not mine. Elena smiled lightly, ignoring Reinhardt.
"......" Reinhardt was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to refute it, and his face turned red.
"yes, that's why I'm here, not as a princess, but as a requester. Akali was not displeased by Elena's disrespect, but lowered her posture and said slowly.
"Requester?" said Elena's eyes flashed with surprise. "Then I welcome you, please be seated. ”
After the five of them were seated as guests of honor, Akali said, "Actually, the purpose of my coming here, as you can probably guess, is to ask your strength to fight against the usurper Trist and expel him. ”
"I naturally know the way, but whether it is Trist, you and your father, they are all my enemies, all careerists who want to conquer Europe, and your father even fought all the way to the mysterious East, why should I help you?"
"The reason is simple, because Europe now needs salvation. Akali said lightly. "The war has brought too many scars to this land, and our people can't afford it for a long time, if Trist continues to perversely, more people will die, more people will suffer, I believe this is not something you want to see. ”
After hearing this, Elena's eyes suddenly glowed with disbelief.
"I can't believe that the little girl who shouted three years ago to destroy all the enemies of the Lucas family can have such an idea now, I can ask, who taught you this?"
"Who......" Akali smiled mysteriously. "Naturally, it's the one next to me. ”
Akali gestured to the sea of clouds.
"It turned out to be this young man from the East, disrespectful and disrespectful. Elena gave a gentle salute. "Please also ask for your name. ”
"In the sea of clouds, please Miss Elena for more advice. Yunhai also hurriedly returned the salute.
"Hehe, I see. Elena chuckled. "It must be incredible that someone can teach Princess Akali this kind of thinking......
"Actually, I'm just talking about it casually, and it's Akali who understands it herself. Yunhai shook his head.
"I know that my father, like Trist, would only use war to conquer the lands he saw, and that such an act could do nothing but bring disaster and suffering to the people. Akali shook her head. "I hope that the true glory of the knights will be restored, and that justice and forgiveness will be replaced by strength and killing, which is what the people really desire. ”
"In order to achieve this goal, I established the Knights of the Dawn, I hope that the people in this group will be strict with themselves according to the rules of knighthood, and bring light to others, instead of killing and destroying, I hope you can help me, I believe you will be willing. ”
Yunhai and Fluttershy glanced at each other, nodded at each other, and said to themselves, "Akali's oratorical talent is natural, she is really a good leader, and some people are born to be leaders, and this may not be groundless." ”
After hearing this, Elena fell into a deep hesitation, and the guards of Elena next to her also looked nervously at their leader, waiting for her reaction in the next second.
The silence continued slowly, the air seemed to be frozen, only the ticking of the pendulum was constantly reminding that time was still passing.
I don't know how long it took.
"Looks like I have no reason to refuse...... "Elena whispered.
"What do you mean?" Akali couldn't believe it for a moment.
"Since you've formed the Knights of the Dawn with such a goal, then, please let me join!" Elena suddenly fell to her knees.
Yun Hai nodded with satisfaction, and said in his heart: "Akali is Akali, and in a few words, this former enemy will be included in the account." ”
Fluttershy is also overjoyed, watching Akali's reaction expectantly.
"Then, I, Elena Frecleman, am willing to swear before God that I will be loyal to Princess Akali Rucas, abide by the rules of knights, and fight to the last moment to protect Her Royal Highness Princess Akali!" said Elena solemnly.
"Elena, thank you for your loyalty, please get up. ”
Such a change happened so quickly that the surrounding Elena guards couldn't accept it for a while, and discussed it in a whisper.
"How has the young lady been loyal to the princess of Lucas?"
"What are we to do?
"But we were enemies with Lucas?"
"Sisters, please be quiet. Elena naturally knew what the people around her were talking about. "I have always told you that the purpose of our war is to free the people from war and tyranny, and now that Princess Akali is our hope for this goal, what reason should we not be loyal to her?"
"In the past, she was our enemy, but now we have a noble and great goal, we are comrades-in-arms, and I hope that everyone will put aside their prejudices and support my actions, of course, if they really don't want to, I won't force it. ”
After a few seconds of silence, the more than 20 members of the personal guards in the hall all knelt on the ground and said, "I am willing to follow Princess Akali to the death!"
"Sisters, please rise. Akali was very gracious and helped them up one by one, showing the demeanor of a princess.
"Welcome, Elena. Reinhardt laughed. "I'll just say, you'll join sooner or later, it's better to join early, and you'll have to trouble Her Royal Highness the princess for a trip. ”
"You think everyone is as stupid as you, don't you?" Elena glanced at Reinhardt with disdain. "I don't personally confirm how I know if the choice I made was the right one. ”
"You!" Reinhardt blushed again.
"Fluttershy, I think these two are bickering. Yunhai whispered.
"How do I feel like Sister Elena is bullying Reinhardt ...... over here," Fluttershy mutters softly.
"You've found out all this?" a smile appeared on the corner of Yun Hai's mouth.
"Sure, who my dignified Princess Asura is......"
Next, it is natural to discuss the next move.
"Speaking of which, Elena, there's something I need to trouble you. Akali thought for a moment and said.
"What's the matter?"
"This is my personal request, I would like you to help me find out about my sister Katarina, now that Trist controls almost all of Europe, I am worried about her safety......"
At this, Akali's brow couldn't help but frown slightly.
"I see, I'll leave this matter to me. Elena nodded. "After all, I have been among the thieves for a few years, and I can get all kinds of news through them very skillfully, and in less than three days, I will definitely ask you about the news of Her Highness Katarina. ”
"Thank you so much!"
"It's my job. Elena bowed her head slightly.
"So, let's ask Yunhai to tell us what we need to do next. Akali said and made a "please" gesture to the sea of clouds.
"By the way, I'm really not your chief of staff, why do you have to let me come......" Yun Hai thought in pieces.
"Who keeps you most informed. "Akali doesn't give up.
In an instant, the people around the table laughed.
