Chapter 157: Both evacuated
Byron's battle with Lance and Charles continues. Since neither side wanted to kill the other, the battle entered a stalemate for a while. Lance and Charles' purpose was only to capture them alive, and Byron didn't want to kill two people who didn't know the truth and just strictly obeyed the knight's orders. He looked for an escape at every blade exchange, but Lance's uncanny lightsaber and the fearless attack of Charles made the battle seem impenetrable.
After knocking Simon unconscious, Joshua slowly dragged him to the city gates. "That's a big mouth," Joshua gasped, "Well, he's only going to use this dress as a broom." ”
Byron and Lance, who were focused on the battle, did not notice where Simon and Joshua were going. "Stop it all. Suddenly, Joshua cried out, "Your companions are in my hands, so don't surrender quickly." ”
Hearing Joshua's shout, Lance and Charles hurriedly took a few steps back. When they turned their heads to look, they saw Simon lying on the ground in a fainting state. And the king himself was stepping on his chest with one foot.
"What a piece of waste, trying to catch the king behind our back?" Lance looked at him with disdain.
Charles nodded. "I didn't expect that even a child like His Majesty the King couldn't beat it, and it was really a shame for our White Dragon Knights. ”
Joshua smiled and said to them, "Let me and Lord Byron out of the city, or I won't be able to guarantee that your companion's life will be in his own hands." ”
"Good. Lance snorted. "Lord Parsa has said that His Majesty the King may have been bewitched by the magic of the rebels and lost his mind. Now it seems that he is right, and His Majesty is very firmly on the side of his opponent. ”
"So what should we do?" Charles asked.
"What nonsense are you talking about. Joshua retorted loudly, and in desperation, he stepped on Simon again. "What have you lost your mind? I'm normal now. Because I don't believe my Uncle Geraint would do that kind of thing. Uncle Geraint was my mentor and I knew him very well. Moreover, this Lord Byron is Uncle Geraint's teacher, and I believe that a person who can teach him to be as upright and brave as Uncle Geraint will never be a bad person. Hearing Joshua's words, Byron's mouth twitched, and more blood flowed down his cheek from where it should be, but he felt very relieved. "All in all, let us go quickly, this is my order as king. Otherwise, like the behavior of this ugly man with a big mouth just now, I can completely identify it as an incident of attempted assassination of the king. Joshua said with a smile.
At this time, Lance couldn't help frowning. As for Charles, although Byron couldn't see his eyes, he could clearly feel that his face had become very ugly. At this time, Byron took a breath, sealed the wound with holy light, prevented the wound from continuing to bleed, and took the long sword from Simon's body. Simon's longsword was made by the Knights, and it looked shiny in the sunlight, and if you looked closely, you could see white diagonal lines. Although it is much worse than his original "holy wall", but now his gap iron sword has been cut out by Lance's lightsaber, and Simon's saber is enough to come in handy. Fearing that Simon would wake up at any moment, he sided with Joshua as well.
Although all the knight generals in the floating city had received orders from Parsa, and His Majesty the king had been charged by the rebels and could capture the king by force if necessary, they did not dare to take risks at the moment, after all, Simon was the best example. Although Simon usually likes to brag, the current king can defeat him in such a short period of time, which shows that his strength is no longer in the category that he can solve in an instant. The only thing Lance could do now was to delay, and when the army of knights arrived at the gates of the city, then Byron, even if he had great ability, would not be able to escape with a child. But Byron had already seen this, and he quickly pulled Simon up and beckoned Joshua to leave quickly.
Lance and Charles stared at Byron and Joshua with their swords raised, but could only watch them leave the city gates. If Charles was still a little worried about Simon's safety, Lance didn't take it to heart at all, but he had another issue on his mind. "Simon, this stupid man, can't even beat a child, it's too embarrassing for our White Dragon Knights. I am not to be intimidated by the hostage, he has brought great shame upon us Knights, and it has nothing to do with me. "But though the king is still a child, he is not in bad brains. If we attack rashly, and when the time comes, the king is really captured, and Parsa listens to the king's word that we have killed the killer, then we will be in trouble. On the surface, this guy Parsa made us focus on saving the king, but in fact, in our hearts, we were already dissatisfied with the other knights. I don't want the White Dragon Knights to be caught with any suspicious evidence. ”
"Hurry up, Your Majesty!" said Byron, who carried Simon on his shoulder, and walked away quickly.
"What shall we do now, Lord Reims?" asked Charles.
Although Lance's eyes were full of unwillingness, he still shook his hand, causing the blade of the lightsaber to retract into the hilt. "As long as we don't press it step by step, they won't do anything to a little person like Simon, we don't care. Although I would love to capture the king with my own hands, there is still a big gap between me and the head of the Knights. As for Simon, the idiot, I think he'll be back on his own soon. With his big mouth, the rebels would have to waste a lot of food if they kept him......"
"Uh......" Charles replied awkwardly. In fact, from the perspective of the onlookers of the Five Dragons Knights, the gloomy Parsa is more of a villain than the stern and resolute Byron. In this dispute, the king of China firmly stood on the side of the biggest "suspect" who murdered his father, which also made many people have doubts in their hearts.
Soon, the unwillingness on Lance's face slowly faded, and he turned to a light smile, "It is worthy of being a figure at the level of the head of the regiment." With such a strong fighting power even though my body has just recovered, I am still too proud. But one day I will defeat you one by one, including Lord Baiao. I, Demon Sword Lance, must become the strongest knight in the world and become a legend on the entire Gaia continent!"
It didn't take long for many soldiers of the Knights to gather outside the gate of the palace, and there were traces of a fight everywhere. The Black Dragon Knights led by Echobeldo also arrived outside the palace gates, but Geraint was long gone, leaving only a Bolton and a group of helpless soldiers.
"Lord Burton, I didn't expect you, as the acting head of the Golden Dragon Knights, to lose to that guy from Geraint. Echobeldo had a strange expression on his face, "As far as I know, your Dou Qi level should be higher than his." After all, you've been in the Order for so many years, longer than the original Captain Byron, haven't you?" Burton nodded, his expression very embarrassed. "Geraint is Byron's proud disciple, and with his youth, he has unlimited potential. I was really careless just now. ”
Echobeldo apparently also saw the scene where Bolton was pointed at Adam's apple with a sword by Geraint. If it weren't for the soldiers of the Black Dragon Demon Knights who led him to kill, it was obvious that Bolton would have become a hostage. The acting head of the dignified Golden Dragon Knights became a prisoner of a non-commissioned officer, and once it was publicized, it would make the entire Five Dragon Knights lose face. And unlike Simon, Bolton did betray Byron. He knew that once he fell into the hands of Geraint, with the temper of Ruona, Fanny and others, he would never end well.
"Let's think about how to explain it to the Prime Minister!" Bolton sighed as he stroked his beard. It seems that after Echobeldo arrived, they did not subdue Geraint. The current Geraint is not in their hands.
Echobeldo shook his head, thinking to himself, "I didn't expect them to be so bold as to sneak into the basement where the old king's body was parked. I wonder what information they want from the Holy King?"
"Let's tell the truth. Echobeldo cleared his throat, "The person who suddenly appeared to save Geraint just now is quite fast, and the aura in his body is very strange, I have never met such an opponent." ”
"But why do I think the man who rescued Geraint looks like Lance the Magic Sword?" Bolton spread his hands.
