Chapter 19: Betrayal
"Oops, I can't stand it...... Evacuate with me first, and then pack them up when reinforcements arrive. "In the Temple of Light, because of the stubborn resistance of Byron and others, Simon, who originally had a huge military advantage, began to retreat.
"It's not that easy! Look at my lightning attack. Fanny shouted, and a flash of lightning flashed from the top of the staff, instantly hitting Simon, who was retreating.
"Oops, help, I'm on fire. "Because of the thunder and lightning, Simon's clothes on his back caught fire. Because Simon usually likes to brag that he is the "chief" non-commissioned officer of the White Dragon Knights, and always likes to boast about his heroism in front of everyone, and he usually fights on flying horses, he never wears the armor that knights usually wear when fighting. Simon also wore only a cloth coat when he fought, but he was protected by golden metal armor on his chest and arms, and a pair of leather gloves on his hands. This time, he was hit by Fanny's lightning magic, and the fabric on his body instantly burned, causing him to flee in embarrassment.
"Poor Simon, almost made a barbecue. Byron looked at the embarrassed Simon and shook his head with a smile. That's why Byron broke out in a cold sweat when he heard Fanny say they were going to eat barbecue together. Because Fanny was an impatient, sometimes when the raw meat was impatient to roast on the fire, she would directly use her thunder and lightning to chop the raw meat.
On the other side, Geraint, who escaped from the floating city with the little prince Joshua, was stopped a few steps away from the city gate. When Geraint saw this person's face clearly, he instantly showed a surprised expression: "How could it be you? No wonder I always felt that there was something missing among us in the Holy Light Hall just now." ”
"Lord Geraint, I'm sorry. I, Bolton, have heard that Lord Byron has become a rebel against the kingdom, and I have decided to distance myself from you. "It turns out that the person who stopped Geraint's path was none other than the infantry commander of the Golden Dragon Knights, the giant Bolton.
"Hmph, Burton! I didn't expect you to believe those ridiculous rumors. How could Lord Byron and our comrades-in-arms betray King Bixia and the entire kingdom of Reims?"
"Geraint, don't be so stubborn. The current situation is that the other four knights have united and are working together to encircle and suppress our Golden Dragon Knights. Lord Byron's chances of victory were almost nil. Only by standing on the other side can we hope to preserve the Golden Dragon Knights. Otherwise, after this war, the Golden Dragon Knights will be forever branded as a rebel and disappear forever. Burton told Geraint what was at stake.
"Looks like you're ready to throw yourself on Parsana's side, Burton?" shouted Geraint.
"I just see the situation clearly, Geraint!" Bolton deliberately accentuated his tone as he read Geraint's name. He raised the battle axe in his hand and gave Geraint an ultimatum: "For the sake of you and I who used to be comrades-in-arms, you leave His Royal Highness the prince behind, and I will let you leave here." ”
"His Royal Highness must not fall into the hands of Parsa. Geraint raised his sword and turned it sideways, moving away from Bolton on the side that was carrying Joshua.
"If Prince Joshua was really the illegitimate son of Lord Byron and the Queen, then he wasn't really a prince. Burton's eyes twinkled, "It's just a puppet that the rebels will support in the future." ”
"Bastard, you are so slanderous of Lord Byron. Geraint glared angrily, "Bolton, have you now been co-opted by Parsa and become his lackey?"
"Geraint, please speak with respect. I, Bolton, am about to become the new head of the Golden Dragon Knights. Burton thrust his tomahawk into the ground, and Geraint felt the ground shake beneath his feet.
"Hmph! Such a Golden Dragon Knights have long since existed in name only. Geraint looked disdainful.
"Since you refuse to hand over His Royal Highness the Prince, then don't blame me for being unkind. With a fierce look in his eyes, Bolton raised his axe and slashed at Geraint. Geraint held his sword horizontally in front of him to block Bolton's attack, but due to Burton's powerful liliang, Geraint felt his entire arm go numb, and the ground under his feet had many cracks due to the strong impact.
"Geraint, you're seriously injured now, and with your Royal Highness the Prince, you're no match for me at all, so let's just tie it up!" Bolton laughed.
"As a knight of the Golden Dragon Order, I never have the word 'surrender' in my dictionary. Bolton, let the horses come. Geraint shouted.
"Hopelessly. Bolton shouted, picked up his axe, and slashed at Geraint again. At this time, I saw Geraint's eyebrows locked, and a golden light instantly appeared around his body to protect his body. Geraint swung his long sword and struck Bolton's battle axe, and the two huge liliang strands intertwined, instantly shaking both of them apart. Geraint felt that his already injured body was now even more difficult to support. And the tomahawk in Bolton's hand flew directly out of his hand, and the whole person sat on the ground.
"Geraint, I can't believe you have such a strong fighting spirit now. Even if you're hurt, you can do it!" Bolton looked surprised.
"Burton, I'm sure we'll meet again in the future. Geraint said to Burton, and before he could finish speaking, he carried Joshua on his shoulders and ran directly to a valley southwest of the royal city.
"You don't want to run away. Bolton shouted and asked his men to hunt down Geraint. Although Geraint was seriously injured, he was the first knight of the Golden Dragon Knights after all. With a stubborn will, he endured severe pain in his body and carried Joshua away from his pursuers. Seeing that he was about to be exhausted, Geraint had to find a cave in the mountains to settle down in. However, this valley is located in the southwest of the floating city, and from the top of the mountain, you can observe several tall buildings in the floating city, including the Holy Light Temple.
Due to the rush of his escape, Geraint did not have any water or food with him. He could only drag his tired body through the valley searching for food. The battle with Bolton had almost exhausted Geraint's energy, and now he probably didn't even have the strength to deal with a wild boar. Fortunately, there are some wild fruits in this valley to satisfy hunger. Geraint picked a lot and returned to the cave to continue resting, while Joshua remained unconscious.
On the side of the palace, the White Dragon and the Black Dragon Knights took turns attacking the Holy Light Temple, but under the stubborn defense of Byron and others, they could not capture it for a long time. Parsa slowly walked in the direction of the Temple of Light, the black-robed man following by his side. Suddenly, another herald ran up to them.
"What are you talking about, Bolton, useless thing!" Parsa was so angry that her eyebrows furrowed when she heard the news that Geraint had escaped from Floating City with Joshua.
"Pass my orders and send the Shadow Mage troops of the Black Dragon Knights out of the city to secretly hunt them down. Parsa shouted the order to the herald.
"My lord, let's go to the Holy Light Hall first, how are those rebels doing?" said the man in black laughed.
"Hmph, don't worry. Even the walls of the kingdom have no chance of winning against enemies many times their size. What's more, some powerful characters are about to appear next. Parsa flashed his trademark eerie smile again.
Byron led the remnants of the Golden Dragon Knights to repel the rebels' attacks again and again. Suddenly, a white figure appeared in front of everyone. The arrival of this person made everyone in the entire Holy Light Hall instantly feel an invisible and huge pressure. Just before everyone could recover their senses, the floor of the Holy Light Hall suddenly shook again. "For such an important scene, I actually overslept......" With a loud bang, a red figure flew into the Holy Light Temple. The man's feet fell heavily to the ground, making everyone present feel like they were in the middle of an earthquake.
Seeing the two people in front of him, Byron couldn't help but get nervous: "How could it be you? Did you betray you? I didn't expect a man like you to be willing to serve Parsa?"
"We're just tired of peace, the kingdom hasn't experienced war for too long, too long. It turned out that the red figure was none other than Schroeder, the leader of the Red Dragon Knights, and on his shoulders was the deputy head of the Red Dragon Knights, Little Irene, "Now that King Bixia has been killed by you, then the Reims Kingdom is not far from war." I'll start with you, a traitor!"
"Schroeder, you've all been blinded by Parsa......" Byron tried to do Zuihou's efforts.
The white figure is naturally Bai Ao, the leader of the White Dragon Knights: "Byron! Parsa is not worth mentioning in my eyes. I'm only interested in getting stronger. Surrender, you are no match for us. ”
"The kingdom has never surrendered generals, if you want to fight, then fight!" Byron raised the holy wall in his hand without fear in the face of two strong opponents......
