Chapter 73: Divine Grace
The position of the Guards Knight is always beside the princess, but Lancelot can only watch Victoria being dragged away by the elves. Unless he has the ability to cross the dense pit chasing the hive, and then be targeted by the elf archers.
Take a few moves.
Thinking that the war situation was stable, he returned to the castle to find a horse for Victoria. It was the duty of the Guards to serve as a guard of honor and maintain the dignity of the royal family. It would be a serious dereliction of duty to leave the princess without a horse.
With so many people watching in front, everyone knows how much the princess likes to look majestic in front of others. After the knight and his men reunited, he went back to find the horse, but something happened just as he found the horse. The army outside
Suddenly collapsed due to inexplicable reasons.
Escape is different from normal marching. If you dare to block the road and be pushed away, it is a trivial matter. If you encounter someone who is anxious, you may be stabbed. Lancelot was blocked in front of the castle gate by defeated troops. Fortunately, these people seemed to think that the castle was not enough.
He didn't even come in, and he didn't see the red cloaks of the Imperial Guards in the crowd.
That meant that at least there were guards around the princess. After the cowards on horseback had almost run away, he was able to climb on his horse and swim upstream to find Victoria.
Relying on his riding crop and scolding, he cleared a way out of the rout. The knight who finally arrived witnessed the whole process of the princess being kicked down and dragged away by the elf. If there weren't too many big smoking pits between her and the elf,
He must kill him. He must die with honor. Lancelot doesn't care that there are hundreds of people on the other side and he is only one.
When the elf saw Lancelot, he immediately bent his bow and nocked an arrow. His left eye socket suddenly twitched. The knight lowered his head to avoid a sure shot. The frightened horse ran back without obeying the command. The knight fell on the horse's back.
To avoid the misfortune of becoming a coward with an arrow in the back.
She hated the princess for excluding her, and wished she could just slap her ass on the spot and leave and go back to the capital. The surface world was so big, why did she have to stay in the empire? The Pope in Rome would appreciate having a foreign nun standing there.
By her side. It was a pity that she wanted to go back. She knew that she could not leave. The female warrior of the Nashaspanon family who was captured during the crusade was still imprisoned in the dungeon. Maya applied to the church several times to visit the prison, saying that she was going to spread the message of Mother Earth.
Teaching.
Whatever Maya said was ridiculous, the Archbishop dismissed them all with a completely distrustful face. Maya never let go of the persecution paranoia of the dark elf nobles and interpreted the Archbishop's meaning in the worst direction.
She walked up to the city wall angrily, wanting to see the end of this war, but she accidentally saw another scene. Golden light fell from the sky, burning many deep pits in the sea of people. It was like a storm pouring on the ants that could not escape. In an instant,
Then most of the "ants" were washed away.
"Tera."
The soldiers around them were so frightened that they dropped their weapons. Compared to the men on horseback, the infantrymen who stayed behind were unable to participate in the final siege due to their humble status, but they managed to survive. Witnessing the tragic situation below, these people were both frightened and grateful. People can always survive.
Finding happiness from other people's experiences is similar to that of dark elves.
The empire persisted longer than Maya imagined, and it completely collapsed after the royal flag wavered. However, it is also possible that these people were frightened and stayed there for a while not knowing what to do. The golden light lit up the lower part.
All over, except for the elves, nothing was left where the light swept, people, horses, grass and land were all gone, leaving only a dark pit, like a huge mouth devouring flesh and blood.
Where is this magic? Maya has been in Black Rock City for more than a hundred years, what has she not seen? The human mage's little skills are not even worthy of being an apprentice to his compatriots. Based on the same chain of contempt? Maya also looks down on her white-skinned relatives. Don't look at this
If someone spits on her, it doesn't affect her status as a nun. It doesn't matter who spits on whom!
As if killing so many people was not enough, the golden light fell again. This time it was much closer to her. It was only an arrow's distance from the city wall.
There was no one there. People and horses who were still breathing were crowded on the road and fled to the back of the castle. Although no one died, the close distance allowed those who stayed behind to see the power of the beam and the bottomless depth of the pit.
"Run!" I don't know who shouted.
"Stop!", "Stop? You coward!"
Is the discipline of the army still in effect? Or maybe the people who maintain the discipline have not been frightened out of fear. Maya's attention was all in the smoking pit, and she ignored the captain's yelling and the sound of footsteps running further and further behind her.
.The next killing light appeared behind her, on the left? On the right, cutting the section of the city wall under her feet into an isolated island that could not be climbed up or down.
The soldiers and nuns who were loyal to their duties were trapped, and the men panicked. They wanted to jump but were afraid of breaking their legs. In front of these turtles in the jar, the light shone on the horse pen, turning it into a terrifying hole. Then another
After falling into the arrow tower, the masonry roof plunges straight into the ground, making the arrow tower hollow, like a weird "well".
It won't be long before the light returns to us, just as it did to the knights below. Whoever is behind this has no intention of letting anyone go.
Kill without mercy... Maya knelt down. She held the statue of the Virgin on her chest and closed her eyes. The soldiers who were trapped with her also knelt down. In despair, they could only pray.
She remembered the "promise" between her sister Antidia and her, about the two sisters eventually meeting in the Pit Magic Network. The desperate situation was before her, so many knights and nobles were wiped out, Maya no longer wanted to survive,
I just ask Mother Earth to protect my soul and that of others.
Maya did not forget her duties as a nun. She also prayed for the souls of the soldiers. Since everyone was going to die, why not?
You won't die, not today.
She had heard this sound before, when she was suffering in the basement of the monastery. This sound was indescribable and could not be experienced by a family like the dark elves that lacked or even had no love.
But black skin also evolved from white skin. Deep in her soul, Maya also longs to be loved, cared for, and considerate... If she had experienced a normal family life, Maya would say something like this, which is only used by mothers.
come out.
Although her character has been distorted, her heart is the place she protects best. The evil in Black Rock City has never touched it, but she can still be moved.
Maya opened her eyes and stood up. She raised her head and looked at the sky, letting the hot tears rolling down her face wash away. The transparent tears broke away from her red eyes and ran across her dark face. The nun indulged her emotions, she
No more fear.
The golden light still came and shone on everyone. The soldiers shouted as if their bodies were on fire, but Maya opened her arms to greet them and hug them.
Chapter completed!
