Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Great Sword and Hegrid

Sure enough, it was Haig who had come looking for his daughter. Hearing Hainard's call, Geraint confirmed that the leader was none other than the leader of the Wings of Freedom, known as the Great Sword, Haig Mallory. The black greatsword on Haig's shoulder was particularly conspicuous, and people knew it was Haig as soon as they saw it.

Ever since Parsa plotted to seize the throne, unjust cases in the kingdom of Reims have occurred from time to time. Many of the princes and ministers who opposed Parsa's succession to the throne were also falsely accused and exiled to remote areas on casual charges. Craigie Island was once the kingdom's penal colony, but it was far away from the kingdom and loosely regulated, making it a paradise for wanderers. The exiled opponents united with the local natives, who were struggling with Parsa's rule, and broke away from the Empire. Haig Mallory became the leader of the city through his prowess and selfless dedication.

Haig was usually an upright man, very righteous to his friends, and was loved by everyone. And around Haig gathered many loyal warriors. During these years, Parsa, in the name of the Reims Empire, waged war against all shili who did not obey him. With the powerful combat power of the Five Dragons Knights, almost the entire territory of the Gaia Continent fell into the hands of Parsa again. However, the only two islands located in the southeast and southwest of the mainland were not conquered, and the "Wings of Freedom" was one of them.

Over the years, Parsa sent troops and launched several offensives against Haig, but due to their small size, they were all thwarted by Haig and his allies. What makes Parsa even more troublesome is that a mysterious and powerful pirate group has appeared in the southern seas in recent years, called the Roger Pirate Regiment. Unlike other pirate groups that looted past merchant ships and cruise ships, the pirates of Roger's pirates seemed to be only interested in the official ships of the Reims Empire. The treasures that Parsa collected in various parts of Shijie and the people fat and ointment that he looted were the targets of their robbery. In addition, every time Parsa launched an attack on the Wings of Freedom, the Imperial Navy was always "taken care of" by Roger's Pirates. Some of the smaller units were annihilated at sea by Roger's pirates before they could land on Mallory Island. Even the Blue Dragon Knights, which have the strongest naval force in the Empire, can't bargain on the Roger Pirate Order.

The name of the head of Roger's Pirate Order is the same as Roger's former head of the Blue Dragon Knights. Parsa seized the throne in the rebellion six years earlier, and Captain Roger, who was ordered to go to sea to suppress the pirates, never returned to return after Parsa ascended the throne and has not been heard from since. The position of head of the Blue Dragon Knights was later temporarily represented by Roger's wife, Miranda, the deputy head of the regiment known as the Ice Rose.

Whether it is Miranda or Parsa, they have not stopped searching for Roger all these years, but there has been no clue until the appearance of Roger's pirate group. However, the Roger Pirates have always fought quickly at sea, coming and going without a trace, and no one has seen the true face of the leader of the pirate group. Therefore, Parsa has never been able to determine whether the leader of Roger's Pirate Regiment is Roger, the former leader of the Blue Dragon Knights. But one thing he can be sure of is that this Roger is a staunch ally with Liberty Wings leader Greatsword Haig.

This kidnapping of Hernar was a precursor to the Lance Empire's invasion of the Wings of Freedom. The White Dragon Knights plotted to kidnap Haig's daughter as a hostage in order to force Haig to surrender to the Empire. However, due to the appearance of Geraint and Joshua, their jihua was ruined.

"Dad, I was so dangerous just now, I was almost captured by those bad guys......" After seeing Haig, Heinar finally calmed down.

"My precious daughter, do you know who kidnapped you?" asked Haig, "and it's not easy to be able to create chaos and take you away from me in my absence at the manor in front of so many guards. ”

"I don't know who they are, but they're led by two grim women. Then they were followed by a group of men in armor and dressed like knights. "It's good that I met the two of them just now and saved me." Henar gestured to the two Geraintes beside her.

"What, miss! I'm not mistaken? Aren't these two the men who kidnapped you in the cave just now?" At this moment, the old butler of Mallory Manor, Rock Neal, also appeared at Haig's side.

"Old man, we have said it a long time ago, everything ahead is a complete misunderstanding. We're not bad people at all, it's just that your young lady thinks we've robbed her of her boar, and she wants to get angry with us!" Joshua yelled at Neil.

"Joshua, you can't be so rude to the old man. Geraint glared at Joshua, then said to Haig and Neil, "The person who kidnapped your daughter should be the shadow assassin of the White Dragon Knights of the Reims Empire. ”

"Shadow Assassin, are you sure?" asked Haig, "not many people on our island have seen the Five Dragons Knights. ”

"This ...... You're Lord of Haig, aren't you?" Gerante replied politely, "Their attire is unique to the Shadow Assassin Force, and I heard a friend of mine serve in the Golden Dragon Knights of Reims. ”

"Golden Dragon Knights?" Hague said after a moment's thought, "I heard that six years ago, because their leader Byron was accused of murdering the king at the time, the Holy King Roy, the Golden Dragon Knights were wiped out by the other four knights, and now only a few remnants of Liliang are led by others. But I've always been skeptical about what happened. The name of Byron, the wall of the kingdom, spread throughout the continent of Gaia. I don't believe he would do such a rebellious thing, especially since he is the king's own brother. ”

Hearing that Haig had such a high opinion of Byron, Geraint was very pleased: "Yes, judging from the changes in the Reims Kingdom in the past few years, Parsa is undoubtedly the real rebel. ”

"Well, who are you, how can you keep an eye on these things?" At this point, Haig became interested in the man in front of him.

"This old gentleman, I would like to ask you what your name is. Geraint noticed that the situation was not good, and quickly changed the subject and asked Neil, the butler beside Haig.

"My name is Neil, and people here used to call me Rock Neil. Because my temper is as stubborn as a stinky stone, hehe!" Neil replied with a smile.

"And do you know a man named Lonier?" Hearing the name Neil, Geraint finally remembered something, and a familiar face came to his mind.

"Ronnell, he's my brother, when have you met him?" asked Neil.

"It was about six years ago, when your brother was our lifesaver before my little nephew, Joshua, and I came to Mallory. "He once told me that he had a younger brother who had sailed away from the sea when he was young, and was never heard from since. I noticed that you looked like our benefactor, so I took the liberty of asking. ”

"Hehe, looks like I've worried my family. However, my master needs me to take care of his affairs, and now that the Imperial Knights are eyeing us in Mallory, I can't go back to see them for a while. Neil shook his head.

"Daddy, I'm tired after a long day, let's stop standing here and go back to the manor!" exclaimed Hernar.

"Yes, Uncle Geraint, it's already dark. But it looks like it's past time to chop wood and cook rice, so let's make dinner with those barbecues tonight!" Joshua said to Geraint. "Hey, where did you hide our barbecue when you got us?" Joshua asked again, turning to Hernar.

"Hmph, Miss Ben isn't unfamiliar with your barbecue......" Hernar glared at Joshua.

"I wonder who has been holding grudge on that boar?" Joshua grimaced at Hernar.

"Okay, okay, you two are really, you quarrel when you meet, and you're not afraid of getting tired. Geraint shook her head helplessly.

"I'm sorry I misunderstood you before!" Haig led the team back to the manor, apologizing to Geraint on the way, "It's all my fault that this precious daughter is too rude and willful." I've heard Neil say from the beginning that you've single-handedly subdued a bunch of Mallory city managers. Thank you so much for single-handedly taking out the Shadow Assassins of the White Dragon Knights now......"

"I heard that two guys kidnapped my daughter, I'll give them a little bit of a look now, and see who dares to touch my precious daughter!" the group had just arrived at the gate of the manor, but they were greeted not by a sumptuous dinner, but by the other of the two women who had been the biggest headache in Haig's life, his wife. She looks in a bad mood tonight!
