Chapter 158: A Mysterious Man Who Resembles Lance
"I've finally escaped," Joshua said with a sigh of relief, "and I wonder if Uncle Geraint has managed to escape too." Lord Byron, what is the strength of that guy named Bolton, and does Uncle Geraint have a chance of winning a battle with him?"
As the patriarch of the Golden Dragon Knights, Bolton joined the Knights earlier than Byron, and his strength should not be underestimated. And his strength and fighting spirit are among the best among the generals of the major knights. At this time, Byron couldn't help but worry about Geraint. But he knew that if he told Joshua the truth, it would only add to the king's troubles. And judging by the feelings of His Majesty the King for Geraint, maybe he will clamoring to go back to save Geraint. Moreover, as Geraint's mentor, he knew that Geraint was extremely talented, and he was already known as the first knight of the Golden Dragon Knights at a young age, and he may not have no chance of winning against Bolton, the infantry commander of the Golden Dragon Knights. Because he had also felt in his usual training that Geraint seemed to have some kind of special ability in his body, which could instantly burst out with a powerful fighting spirit, and it was very similar to the attributes of the Holy Light. He comforted himself and Joshua in this way: "Your Majesty, we must have faith in Geraint. Although the level of Bolton's traitor's fighting spirit is above that of Geraint, he is already old and decrepit after all, and he believes that Geraint has a way to get out of it. ”
"I think so," Joshua replied, "that my Uncle Geraint won't lose to that stinky old man." ”
"Let's hurry down the stone path and go north to wait for Geraint. Byron said. He thought to himself that if Geraint was captured, Parsa would first force him to confess to his involvement in the murder of the king. Moreover, Geraint is the teacher of the current king, and as long as there is no clear evidence that he participated in the rebellion, Parsa will not dare to execute Gelant.
"And what about this ugly man with a big mouth?" Joshua pointed to Simon, who had just been thrown to the ground by Byron.
"Let's find a few vines and tie him up and leave him on the side of the road. When the time comes, his companions will come to his rescue. Byron thought for a moment.
"Hehe, but I want to keep his mouth shut......" Joshua laughed.
Soon, they laid hands on Simon and tied him to the side of the road. Joshua found a rag out of nowhere and gagged him in the mouth. At this time, Simon had also woken up, and found that his whole body was tied with vines, and a rag was still stuffed in his mouth, and his whole body couldn't help shaking.
"Hey, Big Mouth, let's be honest here. Your companions will see you and come to your rescue. Joshua laughed, "Your mouth is so big, it took me a long time to find a rag that would gagged yours." ”
"Woo woo~~~" Simon shook his head vigorously, but couldn't say anything. Joshua clapped his hands, grimaced at Simon, and then descended the stone path of Floating City with Byron.
As for the gate of the imperial city, it was crowded with soldiers of the Knights, and a group of people were there to talk to me, and the scene was very noisy.
"I think that man does look a little like Lance. Echo Beldo held his chin and analyzed, "And I can feel that the fighting qi attribute in that guy's body is also very consistent with Lance's through magic, and it is the taste of fire attribute." ”
"yes, and that guy is so fast, it's a lot like Lance's style. Burton muttered.
"But what is his motive?" said to himself to the crowd, "There was a fierce battle when they were robbing prisoners in the court some time ago. It's impossible to go from being an enemy to a friend in a short period of time......"
"Could it be that Lance wants another one-on-one fight with Geraint?" said Burton, "after all, you interrupted the last battle, Lord Echobeldo." ”
"It's possible!" Echobel nodded, "These knights are full of so-called chivalry. Lance was upset that I interrupted their fight last time, maybe he had rescued Geraint and wanted to have a one-on-one fight with him. ”
"Just take a look at the White Dragon Knights. Burton said. A whisper ensued, discussing what punishment Lance would receive for his actions.
"Are you guys joking here?" Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in everyone's ears, and the words were full of disdain.
"I have heard all of you. It's ridiculous that so many people should watch Gerant's eyes be rescued from right under their noses. "The person who spoke was none other than Lance the Demon Sword, who had already rushed back from the gates of the Floating City, but Charles was not with him, and it seemed that he had led someone to rescue Simon.
When everyone saw that it was Lance coming, they quickly closed their mouths. Echobeldo smiled awkwardly: "We just did a preliminary analysis, and the main person is too similar to you." Both in appearance and moves, he looks like a person. ”
"Hmph, don't shirk responsibility for your incompetence. Lance sneered.
"Oh. Echobeldo glanced at Lance and saw that his clothes were very disheveled, like traces of battle. "But you also look like you were after the battle, where did you go just now?"
"Hmph, we were outside the gates of Floating City, and we were about to return to the palace, when we happened to meet Byron, the traitor, who fled with the king. Lance responded.
Lance soon recounted to everyone present the battle he had just had with Byron. He said that Byron's body, though not fully recovered, was strong enough to fight anyone below the head of the Order. Originally, he and Charles were ready to fight a quick battle, but they didn't expect Simon to be kidnapped by the king. He didn't know why the current king, who was just a child, was able to defeat the non-commissioned officers of the Knights. But for this reason, they could only let Byron and his party go. Now Charles is sending someone to rescue Simon, and he is preparing to return to the palace to report to the regiment commander Bai Ao.
"Haha, Simon is a shame. Doesn't he always like to brag about how powerful he is?" Bolton laughed, "I can't imagine that even a child like His Majesty the King can't win." This time, the face of the White Dragon Knights can be lost by him, if I were Bai Ao, I would have eliminated him from the Knights long ago. ”
"Are you worthy?" Lance suddenly flashed a sharp gaze, "What punishment Simon will receive is an internal matter of our White Dragon Knights, and it is not your turn to speak as an outsider." ”
"Hmph, Lance, you guy. Bolton exclaimed, "You need to figure out something, I'm now the head of the Golden Dragon Knights." I'm your commander in terms of rank, and you weren't born when I joined the Knights in terms of age, so please be respectful. With that, he held the giant axe in his hand tightly. At this moment, he thought to himself that he had become the head of the Golden Dragon Knights because he had betrayed Byron, and it was already difficult to convince the public. If you don't show some of the majesty of the head in front of Lance today, it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in the Knights in the future.
Seeing that Bolton wanted to do something to himself, the corners of Lance's mouth rose slightly, and his right hand shook slightly, holding the hilt of the lightsaber in his hand, and a tense atmosphere was permeating the periphery of the imperial city.
"Alright, you all be quiet, now is not the time for infighting. Echobeldo found that the atmosphere was not good, and hurriedly spoke to appease the feelings on both sides. Because he knew that Elans's character didn't care even if he killed Burton. But Burton's heart was full of anger when he lost to Geraint just now, and he wanted to find an opponent to vent immediately. Once the two of them start a war outside the Imperial City, it will definitely make people laugh when it spreads outside. At that time, Parsa's life was even more difficult.
"Although Geraint was rescued by the mysterious man," said Echobeldo, "I don't think they could get far." We first issued a proclamation for martial law throughout the city, and the whereabouts of the invaders were tracked down inside and outside the city. Then report the current situation to Lord Parsa truthfully, and see what he can do next. After all, Byron's motive for sneaking into the Prime Minister's Tower with the king and entering the basement where the body of the holy king was parked is not clear. "It's the best he can think of at the moment.
Joshua and Byron were waiting for Geraint near a trail a few kilometers north of Floating City. It was a trail they had taken on their way to Floating City, and Geraint would have passed through it if he was to return to the village. But after a long time, there was no one to be seen.
"Lord Byron, is something going to happen to Uncle Geraint? I want to go back to Floating City to find him. Joshua began to get anxious.
"Your Majesty, Lord Byron, I'm back!" Byron was just about to persuade Joshua, but suddenly the figure of Geraint appeared in front of the two.
