The morning sun was not very strong yet, and a small city along the coast of Sauron Kingdom was still shrouded in the tranquility of the night. However, the soldiers at the city gate opened the city gate early and lined up nervously on guard.
There were very few pedestrians walking on the street, but a group of cavalry from the Royal Knights came galloping from the end of the long street. They lined up in order, which surprised the few pedestrians on the street: What day is it today? Why are people from the Royal Knights here
The coastal pier on the other side of the city has already been guarded by the army.
This is a military port in the Kingdom of Sauron. Although this city is not big, this port that can accommodate a hundred warships is the pride of this city! At this moment, the port has been sealed, and there are several warships of King Sauron's royal navy staying on the dock.
A convoy walked out of the port under the escort of cavalry and slowly passed through the city towards the city gate.
The royal knights with bright armor walked at the front, and an exquisite carriage behind them clearly had the emblem of King Sauron printed on it!
But the small flag on it makes it clear that this is the motorcade belonging to Prince Emar of the Kingdom of Sauron!
The local troops who had been pulled out to guard the port in the middle of the night realized that it was His Majesty the King's younger brother, Prince Amar, who came to inspect today - no wonder the guards were so tight.
The person sitting on that exquisite carriage was probably the noble prince.
Only a few experienced old knights could see a little bit of difference from some clues!
The twenty knights surrounding that carriage seemed a little different.
Although they were wearing the uniforms of the Royal Guard of Honor, their riding postures, their skillful horse control skills, the fierce looks on their faces, and most importantly, the formation they maintained...
These people are definitely not those honor guards who only show off!
Just look at that tight formation as they ride. That is simply a special defensive formation! Although this kind of formation has never been used in the cavalry army of the Kingdom of Sauron, experienced warriors can see the mystery of this formation at a glance!
There is no doubt about it. As long as there is any emergency, those riders wearing honor guard uniforms, under this ingenious formation, can defend and fight back as quickly as possible!
And their posture, although they seemed to be trying their best to hide it, it was still visible. They are definitely not the trash in the honor guard. These guys are definitely experienced warriors! They are the most elite cavalry!
What's even more strange is that. They couldn't help but exude a faint evil spirit! That is definitely a temperament that only warriors who have experienced real bloody battles on the battlefield can possess!
From a certain perspective, these guys are probably more elite than the mighty Royal Knights at the front of the queue!
The motorcade gradually entered the center of the city, and the few pedestrians on the morning streets were pushed aside by the cavalry.
There were many civilians loyal to the royal family standing on the roadside, taking off their hats and bowing to the carriage from a distance. Some people even shouted loudly: "Long live the king! Long live the prince! Long live the Kingdom of Sauron!"
As more and more people watched, the captain of the Royal Knights in front became a little nervous. The increasing number of pedestrians will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of guarding. He ordered to speed up the advance.
Among the few onlookers, there were two special guys among them...
"It's really interesting... The royal family of Sauron Kingdom seems to be very popular." A lazy voice chuckled.
Then the two people gradually withdrew from the crowd and walked up to a small building next to them. When they walked upstairs, the two opened the window in the room and watched the team speeding up the street from a distance.
The slender man touched his chin gently, seeming to be thinking about something. It is worth noting that his fingers are long and strong and his skin is fair. Such delicate hands show that its owner is definitely a noble noble.
Then, this hand gently held up a strand of messy hair in front of his forehead. Under the morning sun, the golden curls looked so noble and brilliant.
This man was smiling, and his handsome face seemed to be smiling with some deep meaning. His orchid eyes, like lake water, shone with wisdom.
"It's interesting, it's really interesting. Haven't you noticed?" He turned around and glanced at the person behind him, then pointed downstairs: "In that queue just now, I saw a few familiar people. Especially the two people on the left side of the carriage. I have seen them in the palace. They are all high-ranking warriors of the Imperial Guard. "
He smiled even more cheerfully: "Don't you think there are some interesting things here? My dear old Mark..."
Under the sun, his face was finally completely revealed. This man was none other than the heir to the orthodox Tulip family, Seth, who had been missing for a long time!
The old guy behind him, the old monster who has lived for more than two hundred years, Old Mark seemed to be frowning: "Master Seth, are you curious again?"
"Why not?" Seth shrugged, and he smiled happily: "I have a hunch, old Mark. It seems that something very, very interesting is waiting for us!"
Old Mark had an expression on his face that looked like he had a toothache, and he muttered with a grimace: "Interesting? Phew, in your dictionary, usually 'interesting' means 'trouble'!"
respite!
Heavy breathing sounded in the hall, and the paladin knelt on one knee, trying hard to support his body with the sword in his hand to prevent himself from falling.
A stream of scarlet blood slowly flowed down from his hand holding the sword, flowing along the sharp blade and onto the floor.
Augustine's face was a little pale, but his eyes were still firm.
On his shoulder, a pale and delicate hand gently supported him. Then tears like ice crystals slowly dripped down and fell on the paladin's golden armor stained with blood!
There was a sad expression on Heisha's face, her beautiful eyes were full of tears, and her face was stained with tears. She tried her best to bite her lip to prevent herself from crying.
"Augustin. You, why are you doing this?" She pulled Augustine's arm tightly.
Black Sha was completely moved.
He saw with his own eyes that the Lord Paladin, whom he had respected since childhood, pierced his own chest with a horizontal sword in front of him! Before Black Sha could understand, Augustine's next move made her fully understand the Paladin's intentions!
After Augustine impaled himself. He actually pulled out the sword with force! Then press the wound on his chest with his hand. A ball of powerful fighting spirit exploded in his chest!
That mass of fighting spirit not only tore apart the golden armor on his chest. At the same time, a bloody wound appeared on the sword wound on the chest! Such an action completely covered up the fact of the sword wound, making the wound look as if a magician had exploded it with some kind of magic!
Then, the paladin forced a forced smile on his face, looked at the black veil, and said sadly: "This way, they won't see that I am self-inflicted!"
Black Sha fully understood Augustine's intentions. She cried bitterly and hugged the paladin who was like a brother and a father to her, and used the light healing magic in her hands. He pressed on Augustine's chest wound.
But unexpectedly, Augustine suddenly raised his hand and pushed her away! He didn't expect that the other party would push him away with such great force, and the black yarn was pushed aside and fell to the side.
Augustine gasped: "No, don't treat me! I finally made up my mind to give myself a sword! Don't waste my efforts!" Then he bit his lip and suffered from severe pain. Reluctantly standing up, he said in a hoarse voice: "Miaosi, go quickly! As you said, leave here, leave the temple, and leave the Roland continent! Go to the Empire of Light! That is the only way for you to survive!"
There was a somewhat sad expression on Heisha's face, and then she got up from the ground, walked over and took Augustine's hand. Augustine seemed to want to shake it off, but the serious injury on his chest made him almost unable to stand. A trace of holy white magic light in the black veil's hand passed into Augustine's body along her hand!
"You, what are you doing!" Augustine suddenly changed his color.
However, Heisha held her hand tightly, with a somewhat determined expression on her face: "Augustine! I can't let you do such a thing! Absolutely not!"
The strength of the most powerful saint in the temple and the great cultivator was indeed extraordinary. The muscles of the wound on Augustine's chest began to squirm crazily, and then began to heal at an extremely fast speed. Augustine closed his eyes in pain and smiled bitterly: "What do you want? Don't you want to live anymore?"
Heisha didn't speak, and cold sweat appeared on her face. Obviously, even if she was a great practitioner, it took too much strength to heal such a serious injury in such a short period of time.
"I am not cold-blooded. Augustine!" Black Sha's tone was low and slow: "If the price is to use your blood, then I absolutely cannot do this!"
Augustine frowned: "I just shed some blood so that I can go back and resume my life. Even if they blame me for not doing things well, they won't execute me."
Black Sha shook his head: "Augustin, you don't understand our lord very well. Since he dares to risk confrontation with the entire Roland Kingdom to sit on the Pope's throne, does he still care about killing you? Do you know? ? Since he sent you, you will be dead if you don't kill me! Don't you understand? Killing me is a test for you! He will only trust you if you kill me! "
Before Augustine could speak, Hei had already smiled and said: "Okay!"
He let go of Augustine's hand, but his face turned pale, his body swayed, and he seemed a little unsteady on his feet.
Augustine changed his color and said: "What kind of healing technique did you use on me? Is it 'life magic'? Why did you use this kind of expensive magic?"
Heisha shook her head and smiled: "If you are willing to bleed for me, then it is right for me to spend some energy for you!" She looked into Augustine's eyes, and the indifference on her face turned into a gentle smile: "From the moment I entered the temple From that day on, you have been my closest friend, Augustine. Among the indifferent people in the temple, you are the only one with a truly warm heart!”
Augustine smiled bitterly and said: "You have always been so willful, and you are still the same now. But have you thought about it? What should you do now?"
Heisha took a breath and suddenly said: "Even if you say that I have changed, but for you, I am willing to compromise for a while!" Her tone gradually became bitter: "As long as I help you kill the special envoy of the Light Empire, That’s it?”
Augustine frowned: "You..."
Heisha shook her head and said calmly: "You don't need to say anything! Use the temple as a weapon to kill people... hum... I am not the first to do this in the temple, and I will definitely not be the last."
Augustine stared at Black Sha's face, as if he wanted to see something from her expression, but all he saw was indifference.
"Have you really thought about it?"
Heisha nodded: "Think about it! Let me help you once, so that I can at least keep you! Augustine..." She looked at the paladin in front of her: "You may be the last pillar left in the temple! Which one is for me?" Even if you have faith, I can’t watch you being defeated by the darkness!”
"As for me..." Heisha seemed to smile: "After you come back to life, I will leave! As for whether I can leave, that is my fate, Miaosi!"
Augustine could see a bit of sadness and despair behind the indifferent smile of the black veil. Does this stubborn and willful guy always like to disguise himself with a mask
Before Augustine could continue to speak, Black Sha had already asked: "Where is that special envoy of the Empire of Light now? Who is he?"
"If the news before I came is accurate, they will disembark in the coastal city, and then follow the southern road to the royal capital. A team of royal knights will be ordered to escort them."
Heisha nodded: "Who is that special envoy?"
"He is an earl. It is said that he is a young man in the Bright Empire who has won the favor of the emperor recently, and he is the commander of the Royal Guards. He is a military general, so he must not be weak in strength."
Heisha still nodded, her expression indifferent - she could only use this indifferent mask to hide the emotions in her heart.
This is probably the tragedy of being used as a sharp weapon!
Kill one person... Heisha seemed to be asking herself, just kill one person. No matter what, as long as you kill one person, you can save Augustine. This choice should be the right one... "
But Augustine's next words hit Black Sha's heart like a heavy hammer!
That sentence was not loud, but every word roared in my ears like thunder and lightning!
"The special envoy's name is Rody!"
Roddy…
Roddy!
Roddy
Suddenly, he felt a tearing pain in his head, and then a fragment appeared more and more clearly in Heisha's mind:
That young man with a warm and bright smile, that young man who always liked to call himself "idiot", looked at me with those eyes in the wilderness of the northwest, and said those words to himself in such a gentle voice...
"Remember, my name is Roddy! Only those close to me know this name."
The indifferent mask collapsed instantly, and Heisha's weak body suddenly trembled violently!
"Could it be him? Or is it just a coincidence that the names are the same?"
