"Princess, why would anyone stop us from moving forward!" The question was from Huan. He probably didn't know who else would displease the emperor's daughter in Qin Yin's land. Www,QuanBeN-XiaoShuo,com
"On the other side of the Canglan River is the city of Hadithay, the territory of Earl Mokolali. This idiot finally fell to the House of Commons. Unfortunately, this kind of person is not courageous enough. If he really wants to please my uncle, then It’s time to send heavy cavalry to block the bridge, so I’ll have to take a detour. Juan, do you understand now?”
Juan shook his head in shame. His family was not a big family, and he could not even get a title. He had only read about the activities of these nobles in books. After leaving home, he has been studying in Bushui County, focusing on studying magic. It might be good to let him fight, what Princess Rex said was something he couldn't understand.
"To put it bluntly, someone wants to embarrass me. Even a count dares to block the road. If I really take a detour, not only will I arrive at Holy Rock City half a month late, but the House of Lords will also be very disappointed with me. I think Mokcolari is still Not prepared for bloodshed." Princess Rex said calmly, and Salin already understood.
This was nothing more than a conflict between the old and new aristocrats of the empire, with the emperor controlling the House of Lords and controlling the hereditary nobility. The prince controlled the House of Commons and controlled the new aristocracy. What makes Salin feel sad is that this is obviously a way for the royal family to weaken the nobles, but the old and new nobles are still incompatible and have never united.
The four major empires were founded almost at the same time. Only the Qin Yin Empire had experienced more than seven hundred years, and the number of nobles had not expanded to dangerous numbers. The other three empires all have serious problems. Skochina is corrupt and degenerate, Tangulas is controlled by the Holy See, and the Yunliu Empire has forgotten the glory of the Fourth Dynasty, and there has been some buying and selling of titles.
However, because of the Qin Empire, the two houses were at odds with each other, and the imperial power was extremely stable.
The battle at the bridge instantly became extremely bloody. Thinis was at the forefront, and more than a hundred cavalry formed a wedge charge. Tinis's riding sword is four feet long. The blade of the sword, which is more than a foot close to the hilt, is not edged. Instead, it is made into a rectangular shape, embedded with a golden magic circle, and inlaid with magic cores on both sides.
When there were still a few meters away, Tinis swung his sword with one hand and slashed forward.
The huge riding sword fired a deep purple flame, more than ten meters long, and struck right in the middle of the thirty soldiers at the bridge head. The five soldiers were hit by this sword, and their whole bodies smelled of burning. Blue smoke came out of their armors, and they fell to the ground whimpering.
"It's a magic sword, run away..."
puff…
A sword light passed by, and the shouting man's head flew up, blood spurted from his neck into the sky, and he made a rapid hissing sound.
The cavalry of the Kushui Army successfully cut through the enemy's team and rushed onto the iron bridge without looking back. When their horses passed by, there were more than thirty corpses of soldiers behind them.
With a hiss, a crossbow arrow was fired towards the opponent, but the Qingqi on the other side was too nervous and shot the crossbow arrow in advance. The arrow was shot more than two hundred meters away. Tinis didn't even blink, and his charging speed increased to the extreme. A wind shield formed at the sharp iron angle on the chest of his horse. The incoming crossbow arrows had no lethality due to the distance. When the wind shield blew, they flew sideways into the river.
"Hmph, a bunch of trash." Tinis didn't even pull down the metal mask, facing the two hundred light cavalry on the other side, waving his riding sword, preparing for a second attack.
The officer standing at the bridge was dumbfounded. Although the soldiers of Hadithay City were trained hard, the empire had been at peace for more than 700 years. Deep in the hinterland, such horrific killings had never been seen. The more than one hundred cavalrymen who rushed over the bridge had not yet arrived, and murderous intent enveloped the two hundred light cavalrymen on the east side of the bridge.
The horse's hooves stepped on the iron bridge, making a short clicking sound. The officer turned around without hesitation and fled first. Although the opponent was not a real heavy cavalry, the armor all over his body looked like magic armor, especially the fire dragon-like sword, which completely shattered his confidence.
The earl only said that he would humiliate the other party, but he never expected that this would be the result.
It didn't matter that he ran away. Without their leader, the two hundred Qingqi suddenly scattered like wasps whose nest had exploded.
Tinis was furious. He didn't intend to kill them all. The people in Qiaoxi were disrespectful to the princess, so he killed them. But the people here abandoned their position without resisting, which is simply a shame for the military.
But he didn't think about it. These soldiers were doing training every day, so how could they compare with the Ku Shui Army. The swordsmen of the Kushui Army were released for training. The furthest ones had been to the Tanggulas Empire, and many of them had blood on their hands. Not only did he kill thieves, he also killed some high-level monsters, so he had extremely rich combat experience.
For example, Rocky died, and the team he led actually killed a green dragon. Although the weakest dragon was killed, dragons can fly, so it is quite difficult to kill them. Many mercenary groups with mages cannot deal with the cunning green dragon.
Thinis lightly kicked the horse's belly, turned its head, and rushed towards the side of the fleeing soldiers, sweeping out the horse's sword horizontally. Another fire dragon more than ten meters long. This kind of attack is very effective for frontal defense positions, but it has no effect on chasing deserters. After releasing the magic on the riding sword, Tinis shouted, and the cavalry behind him spread out, like flanking.
In fact, there is no need to use any tactics against the collapsed enemy. As long as they are given a way to survive, these light cavalry have no courage to stop and resist. The more than a hundred cavalry simply put away their swords, pulled out their short javelins, and threw them out one after another.
After chasing for several miles and killing more than fifty people, Thinis stopped. Although he looked down on his opponent, Tinis still did not dare to pursue him too far. After all, Hadithay City was too close to here. The opponent was a first-class earl, and he could still raise thousands of swordsmen.
Regrouping the team, Tinis returned to the bridge, asked the soldiers to pick up the double crossbows abandoned by the light cavalry, and guarded the bridge before blowing the whistle. The sharp metal whistle sounded more than a mile away, and the large group of Ku Shui Army restarted and drove towards the iron bridge.
This is a main road, and there are many pedestrians. When they see a fight happening, they all run away. The Kushui Army was still on guard and protected Princess Rex's carriage onto the iron bridge.
Princess Rex's carriage slowed down and was protected by cavalry on both sides, as if facing a powerful enemy. These soldiers are all people with rich combat experience. They know that they must be cautious even after victory. If they slack off, they may be attacked by the enemy.
When passing the bridge, Princess Rex sighed softly when she saw the corpses on the ground.
"This is not the time to be soft-hearted." Fearon said suddenly. He knew that he would face a lot of troubles when he returned to the imperial capital this time, far more troubles than those here in Hadithay City.
"I just think that these soldiers died worthless, Garulan is going to be in chaos, black magicians are infiltrating the border, and it is impossible to completely eliminate these people just relying on magicians. They are all imperial soldiers..."
"If they regard themselves as imperial soldiers, they shouldn't stop the princess." Juan looked at the corpses and said a little coldly.
Princess Rex knocked on the car window and said to the soldiers outside: "Leave a hundred people and clean up the bodies."
Salin looked at Princess Rex's frowning eyebrows and wondered how sincere her pity was.
When the carriage reached the middle of the iron bridge, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the river under the bridge, broke through the bridge board, and rushed up. This black shadow was like a sharp arrow, trying to kill Princess Rex directly from under the carriage.
boom!
Only then did the river explode, scattering mist all over the sky and wrapping the carriage.
The assassin's timing may not have been the best, but his method was extremely sophisticated. When the rapier in his hand stabbed the bottom of the carriage, the water mist aroused happened to block the sight of the surrounding soldiers.
The assassin's sword was dark, only about a finger wide, and the blade flashed with cyan sword light, which was the sword energy that was about to burst out at any time. Even though he is not a sword master, he has reached the peak state of a sword master.
The driver seemed to have known that someone was going to assassinate him, so he suddenly increased his speed. The assassin's blow had already deviated from Princess Rex's position. At the same time, the floor of the carriage cracked on the left and right. Feren stretched out his hand, grabbed the assassin's rapier, and lifted the assassin up. The sword energy on the rapier was directly pinched away by Ferran.
More than ten magic spells hit the assassin at the same time, as well as a boomerang. The assassin's body suddenly had several holes, and none of these shocking wounds were bleeding. Sika's boomerang circled around the assassin's neck and flew back to Sika's hand.
The floor of the carriage rejoined, and as soon as Feren let go, the assassin's body slumped to the ground, completely dead.
The mist outside the car dissipated, and everyone felt a little embarrassed. Saleen didn't take action. With Faerun here, they didn't need their help at all. Fearon actually held the rapier with his hand, naturally not afraid of the assassin's ability to fight back.
Princess Rex let out a burst of joy and said: "I'll give you a good chance to kill him alive. Hey..."
The faces of the mages were red. In their usual training, they only considered how to kill the enemy. Their combat coordination was quite good, and their actions just now were quick enough. Almost all of them cast two instant spells. The problem is that as Princess Rex said, this man is so dead that it is impossible to ask anything.
"It's not a traitor. The assassin doesn't know about your promotion, nor does he know..."
"Well, although we didn't stop in the city along the way, we were walking in a straight line, and the time it took to get here is nothing if anyone can guess it. This assassin has been lurking for less than half a day, and Mokolari cannot escape the blame. Princess, it’s better to do this, lest he sue the House of Commons for the death of those soldiers.” Fearon held the rapier in his hand and looked at it while talking to Princess Rex.
"It's just that I have to sleep in the countryside again." Princess Rex looked at the corpse in the carriage with disgust and shrank her feet back.
"Princess Princess, why not just rely on Mokolali and directly..."
"Juan, I don't have this time." Princess Rex closed her eyes, leaned on the cushions, and stopped talking. Juan was a little embarrassed and still worried.
"This place is too far away from Bushui County. Even if Mokolali is killed, it will not be the county owner's turn to manage it." A male mage next to Juan said, poking Juan with his hand to indicate that he should stop talking. Juan then understood and scratched his head.
