Chapter 373 The Distant Place He is pursuing XII(1/2)
A branch of ripple flew over the sky blue head.
If it were normal, the little girl would at least scream in fear and shrank down with her head in her arms. But at this moment, her voice was hoarse, and she was really weak. She just watched the arrow cross over her head and flew away, and hit a city wall in that direction, folding into two pieces.
The swaying light and shadows reflected in her eyes, as if the scene of hell was cast into the world. There were several burnt corpses under the fire, shaking, probably losing the starlight. The blazing flames burning on the street illuminated the scene of sand thieves and ants siege on the other side. In that peaceful world, she had never seen a real war with so many people who had lost their minds.
The sand thieves climbed up the city wall and fought with the few imperial guards. With the advantage of the terrain and the convenience of the Android Temple behind them, the palace guards pushed the sand thieves down the city more than once. But soon, they had to face several times their own enemies. The tug-of-war lasted for at least half an hour, and the sand thieves had seized a urn.
They were advancing towards the inner line of defense. Once this place was lost, Questak's defenders lost the second line of defense, leaving only the last line of protection.
Tianlan looked at the dark tide and advanced along the city, and the tall and fierce man surrounded by a group of strong sand thieves in the distance. For a moment, the other party looked in this direction. Although it was so far away, she seemed to feel the other party's cold gaze, and for a moment she felt uncomfortable with depression in her chest.
That is the legendary king of sand thieves, Mahazar?
In the past, this name was just a legend to her. What does a bad name from the sand thief have to do with her, an earthling and a summoner? But at this moment, Tianlan couldn't say such things at all. She had several head-on contacts with the sand thief and almost died on the battlefield.
Although she knew that it was not real death, she was still so scared that she burst into tears when she thought about it. She never thought that she would be so weak.
One hand reached over.
The surface looks slender and soft, but the skin shows a healthy wheat complexion. The hand shape is perfect, giving people the first impression that his owner is a beautiful person. The sky blue face is full of fireworks, and her little face is dirty and raised her head. Her hair is as messy as a bird's nest. At a glance, she saw His Royal Highness standing in front of her.
Rupert changed into a brand new armor, the terrifying wound on his chest disappeared without a trace, there was no trace of fireworks and dust on his body, and the eyebrows were just as heroic as a girl. Tianlan looked at the direction of the other party when he came, and understood that the princess had just walked out of the temple of Android - even the eldest princess was "dead in battle" once, in the previous battle.
"Is it okay?" the eldest princess wiped the girl's face and asked softly.
The sky blue tears rolled down, and she suddenly thought of the situation where the other party blocked the enemy's attack and pushed herself up from under the wall of her chest.
"Your Highness, you can't go up any more..."
Rupert smiled: "I have three more chances to resurrect. How about it? Have you contacted Captain Ed?"
Tianlan shook his head with tears in his eyes.
"Then you continue, Tianlan, I promised Captain Ed that he would protect you. Don't worry, before we completely fail, the sand thieves will never be able to attack this inner city."
But that was exactly what Tianlan was most worried about at the moment.
She couldn't say a word, but felt a deep sense of powerlessness enveloped her - in the Seven Seas Brigade, it was Brother Ed who protected her, and here, she had to rely on the protection of His Highness the Great Princess. She thought she could help others, but in fact she couldn't help anyone.
She suddenly felt that her safety was actually insignificant, because compared to that, she hoped that everyone here would survive well.
But she held the magic piano that had broken a corner and felt that she was powerless.
After saying that, Princess Rupert turned around and led a group of knights who had just resurrected, across the city road and headed to the battlefield. Tianlan looked at the knights who were silent and silent, and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. She could not see the corpse that was quietly lying there and was no one cared about on the city not far away.
He was wearing armor with the Marlan Holy Magistrate. He might have been a noble paladin during his lifetime. The armor reminded Tianlan of the Big Catman, but she wanted to close her eyes, as if she was afraid that she would see the Big Catman lying there - but she actually knew the knight, and she had spoken to her in the previous battle, thanking her for playing music for them during the battle.
But Tianlan actually knew that he was just an incompetent half-baked poet. The morale-boosting magic song could not play any role in this level of battle.
The other party's words were mostly to comfort her.
But the person who spoke this comforting words also lost his last starlight in the previous battle and lay quietly in that place. Perhaps it would take until after the battle that someone would notice that the already cold body, together with the proud armor of his lifetime, was buried in this place.
Such a person was probably a hero in the memory of Tianlan in the past, but it was not until this moment that she understood the true meaning of a hero. She hoped that the other party would once again have a white light spot. The starlight that seemed to her on weekdays was so precious at this moment.
But it's all just her fantasy.
The knight's body lay there quietly, nothing happened.
Tears blurred her vision again, and she wanted to do something in her heart, but the magic piano that the company commander gave her was accidentally broken in the previous battle. Why was she so useless? Tianlan held the communication crystal in her hand with tears in her eyes, and suddenly remembered the words of His Royal Highness the Princess, and she called for the response from the other end of the crystal again and again.
That was probably the only thing she could do.
And at that moment, a rustling sound with strong interference suddenly came from the crystal, and a question with a little doubt came from the noise:
"Is it you? Sky blue..."
"What's going on over there?"
The voice sounded gentle, but Tianlan almost thought she had hallucinations. She could still remain calm at first, but she shouted in a choked tone: "It's me, yes, is it Brother Ed?"
But as the sound from the crystal quickly became silent again, the emotions accumulated in the little girl's heart finally burst out, just as if the drowning person who grabbed the last straw had lost hope again, she finally couldn't help crying. She said sobly while crying:
"Brother Ed, where are you..."
"Luo Yu, why haven't you shown up yet..."
"The Grand Duke can't hold on..."
But there was no response in the crystal.
The figures of His Royal Highness and her knights finally disappeared on the city wall. In the distance, only the sound of yelling and killing came.
Tianlan cried and cried, as if she had shed tears. She wiped the corners of her red eyes and stared at the knight's body in that direction. She didn't know where she had a sense of courage. She hurriedly put the crystal into her arms, and then ran towards that direction.
She may not be able to do anything else, they may fail in this battle, but at least they cannot let the hero's corpse fall into the hands of the enemy.
Especially those hateful sand thieves-
At this moment, everyone on the battlefield had no energy to pay attention to the terrifying things between the clouds.
People seem to have forgotten everything, only remember the instinct of fighting, and in order to survive, they have to fight to the death - and the blood-red eyes in the air are silently watching everyone on the earth, watching mortals struggle with each other and kill each other. The strands of power radiated out of the radiant starry light, turning into blood-red light, and heading straight into the sky.
...
The entire hall of Cassan Palace became quiet.
There seemed to be only Tianlan crying in the crystal, and the ministers looked at each other, unable to speak.
Alef looked like water and looked at Seschel beside him: "Sir Seschel, we have to think of a solution. My father handed all this to me. I can't watch my sister and my friends fight for me outside, and we are only arguing here and chatting without doing anything."
The old patriarch of the Swearing Man clan looked at the others. He understood that the prince's words were not so much for himself, but for everyone present.
The princes and ministers looked different. It was hard to guarantee that there was no one who bought the blind followers. However, facing the aggressive offensive of the King of Sand Thieves, he couldn't help but hesitate. Although Seneman said it nicely, Sand Thieves would ensure the safety of their family afterwards, judging from the situation in front of him, it is still a problem that the blind followers' words are somewhat credible.
What's more, there is no news from the King of Sands. According to the saying that Seneman's plan should have been successful, and they should have received the news.
But at present, whether it was the thing above Questak or the sand thief at the moment, they felt a hunch of insecurity.
Although the actions of the King of Sands Babaltan and his father and daughter offended many princes and nobles, everyone still maintains superficial "harmony". If the sand thieves attack the palace, will the other party maintain this superficial "harmony"? In the hearts of the nobles, the King of Sands is naturally a "tyrant", but if Mahazar is so good, everyone still has the brain?
"Get out all the troops in the palace, and there are also servants and knights," Alef replied quietly, "Without the inner city, the Kasan Palace cannot stop the sand thieves. The royal wealth is hidden in this palace, and your wealth is hidden in the inner city. You will not think that our wealth will be different in the eyes of the sand thieves, right?"
This sentence finally shook the confidence of the noble ministers. Even at the beginning, he insisted that he had sent all the servants and knights to the point where he could not help but hesitate.
"But Your Highness," a voice said after a while: "Several Dukes are already outside, and the rest of us do not have the ability to lead troops..."
"You don't," Alef said coldly: "I have."
A needle can be heard in the hall.
The person who spoke was scared for a moment. "But your Highness, you..."
"My sister can, why can't I do it?"
Alev stood up from his seat and looked around the hall for a week. "...The children of the King of Sands are not afraid to stand up at this time... and the Istani people are not afraid to give their lives to their friends. Have you forgotten? This is the kingdom of the desert, and the honors that your ancestors follow still dare to fulfill again at this moment-don't you look down on the Penelope family, thinking that the current royal family is just a group of nouveau riche."
"Don't admit it hypocritically, I'll tell you it. But look at yourself, compared to us, you are just a group of timid and cowardly people."
The young future king was now like an angry lion, but very much like his father when he was young. He looked around everyone and said without hesitation: "Okay, stay here and wait for the sand to come and chop your heads. Those who are still bloody and think they are descendants of the Istanians, go out with me."
"Even if I die, I will stand and die before the king of the sand thief."
As soon as he said this, no one in the hall dared to say a word.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The ministers did not say a word, but a few people came out to the young king.
However, Miss Nightingale could no longer watch this scene. She only looked at the people who were still hesitating and said coldly: "You can find a way to contact Captain Ed, I'll go find Tianlan." After that, she left Kasan Palace alone.
Following her, the maid officer smiled slightly and turned around and left.
After the two walked out of the palace, Alisa looked at the noble daughter in surprise: "Miss Silvede, why are you here too?"
In her impression, this noble daughter is not a role that is good at fighting on the front line.
"I'll let Baggins and Shester go with you," Silvede smiled. "I dare not lose you before Ed comes back. As for me, I'll go find some other people."
"Some others?"
Silvede nodded slightly. "There is actually a force in this palace that we can use. They have watched the show for so long, and it's time to take action. After all, the thieves don't care about their identities."
Alisa looked at her and suddenly reacted: "You are going to find the Korlin people, but they got on their own airship early in the morning and they could only watch."
Silvede smiled: "They won't."
Alisa looked at the other person quietly and suddenly shook her head.
"Silweid, Ed will definitely not agree, nor will I agree."
Silvede narrowed his eyes with a smile, as cunning as a fox. "Thank you, Alisa, but don't be so nervous. I didn't say I wanted to sacrifice myself. Things are not that serious yet, and I'm not that stupid."
"and you……"
"Leave it to me."
Miss Nightingale looked at each other suspiciously.
...
"Luo Yu, why haven't you shown up yet..."
Listening to the hoarse crying sound gradually disappeared from the crystal, the deck couldn't help but feel a little quiet, leaving only the whistling sound of the wind.
Fang Yu couldn't help but look at Luo Yu on the side, but the latter only pressed the crystal pillar on the magic furnace without saying a word. He looked at Luo Hao standing in front of him. He had said that he had something to look for him, but he had not said it yet.
