After about an hour, the knights finally heard a message from the front: "An exit was found above, Your Royal Highness."
"It seems that we have found the right place." Antitina also saw the tension of the princess, and said with relief: "Although the process has been a bit tortuous, at least it has not completely lost hope, from the response of Grand Duke Lantonilan in the letter. Look, at least they are still on our side, with Valhalla's military power, these conspiracies and tricks can only stay at the stage of conspiracy and trickery."
"Thank you, Antitina, I understand, I'm just worried about Haruze."
"He is a student of Lord Lord, Lord Lord has not only taught His Royal Highness Haruze swordsmanship. As a sister, perhaps His Royal Highness should have more confidence in the future King Eruin."
The eldest princess of Eruin nodded.
The knights quickly controlled the exit of the secret road outside, and the exit was already in the misty forest. It is said that there is a hunter's wooden house nearby, but it has been abandoned for a long time. The knights of the White Lion Guard found a lot of military standard weapons in the wooden house. Although they had been rusted out, it seemed that this place should be the secret stronghold of the Denell family. Its appearance was just a cover up.
After confirming this, Antitina and Princess Griffin finally settled their hearts. Under the care of the knights, among the three, Freya was the first to walk out of the secret passage, and then the Valkyrie took the hand of the princess and helped her out from the inside.
Although the elf's eyes can quickly adapt to changes in strong and weak light, Princess Griffin couldn't help squinting her eyes subconsciously when she suddenly came under the sun.
And at this moment, she suddenly heard a sharp howl in her ear.
"Your Royal Highness, be careful!"
She heard Freya's exclamation, and then a heavy object hit her. The huge momentum made her fall backward, and the vest hit the secret tunnel wall hard.
Then there was a burst of noisy sounds outside, one of which should be the sound of wind and fire, then the screaming of people, and finally the sound of weapons striking.
She heard the Valkyrie let out a muffled grunt, and then all the voices went down, and only then did Her Royal Highness see clearly what was pressing on her body-it was actually a corpse, and a white lion knight lost its head. Blood is pouring out of the corpse, the broken blood vessels in the neck and the trachea, which makes people fishy and vomiting.
Griffith was holding back the urge to nauseously, she drew back vigorously, and Antitina also pulled her back vigorously in that direction. But things couldn't help the two of them thinking. Soon a pair of cold iron gloves came in from the cave and grabbed the princess's hair. Griffiy let out a scream and was dragged out by the latter. .
She screamed and grabbed the wall with her hand, her fingertips were scratching and bleeding, but she was still dragged out and thrown aside.
Griffith opened his eyes and saw Freya lying flat beside him with her eyes closed, with a long wound on her chest. She didn't know whether she was alive or dead.
Griffith's heart tightened suddenly, and she subconsciously held the cold hand of Miss Valkyrie—luckily, she could still see a warm pulse. But before she had time to say anything, the iron gloves grabbed her slender neck and pulled her up, and then shouted towards the cave:
"All the people inside, come out, otherwise I will kill these people."
Griffiy felt that her face was swollen and painful before being hit, and her eyes could hardly be opened, but she still saw the lady of the staff and the other two knights slowly walking out of the secret road.
Among the dozen or so people who accompanied him, it seemed that there were only a few people left in an instant.
Princess Griffin saw those cold corpses lying on the ground. Among them was the female officer of Antitina. This girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old had an arrow in the chest, staring directly at her with hollow eyes. The sky above the forest.
She thought that this young girl had put on her make-up stroke by stroke not long ago, admiring her beauty, and she couldn't help but close her eyes in pain.
The opponent's strength was beyond her imagination.
The White Lion Guards left by Brando are already one of the best in the Eru factor. The general local aristocratic private soldiers may not be able to gain the upper hand in frontal combat even if they are ten times the number, but these enemies are in a moment. Killed almost everyone.
She noticed that most of the people who shot were wizards.
There were a total of seventeen or eight people, all wearing gray robes, and even their faces were hidden under their hoods. With so many spellcasters, it is exactly the same as Lantonilan's rebellion described by the Highland Knights in the letter. This is by no means a handwriting that the local nobles in the South can get.
"Who is that princess?"
The black-armored knight who grabbed her asked angrily in a rough tone.
Griffiy was startled slightly, and she raised her head with some doubts—these people who came to arrest them didn't even recognize her identity? Are they really Eruin’s nobles
"Take all the women away, there will always be people among those nobles who know her." A voice replied.
"No," but the wizards shook their heads: "These people can't be seen by the nobles. These are our captives. Don't worry, we have our own way to confirm their identities."
With that, he motioned to one of the wizards to take out a gem, and Griffith almost cried out when he saw the gem. It is a Goring gem. Legend has it that it was once part of the Lion Heart Sword, but the first king Eke used it to forge a crown. This crown has always been the treasure of the Sifah family. That gem has the same lion heart The sword-like ability-is to confirm the orthodoxy of the Eruin royal family.
The crown has always been in the Westfah family, but after the Ampersel War, following a series of disturbances in the Westfah family after that, the crown and this gem were also missing. She specifically asked about it. His elder brother Levin Ornathan, but the other party apparently didn't know anything about it.
But how could it fall into the hands of these people
Who are these people
Griffith was filled with confusion for a while.
Antitina apparently saw the gem at this time, and there was also a hint of surprise in her eyes. And when she saw that the black-armored knight was taking the gem from the wizards, she suddenly took a step forward and interrupted these humanities:
"This is the gem of Goring. It is our Eruin's treasure. How can it be in your hands? Who are you?"
"Huh?" The wizard was taken aback for a while. He glanced at Antitina, and suddenly threw the gem over like a worthless stone, and then said sternly to Antitina: "You, take it. pick it up."
Antitina glanced silently at the gem that rolled to her feet.
Then she raised her head and looked at Her Royal Highness with a swollen nose and a swollen nose.
"You first let go of my maid, I have the right to ask you to do this."
"Interesting." The wizard snorted, and he gestured to the black-armored knight, who immediately released Griffin, and the half-elf princess knelt to the ground, and she supported her with tears. There were purple marks around her chest and neck, and she could hardly speak, and could only pant for breath.
Antitina looked at the princess's majesty unbearably, she hesitated for a moment, then slowly bent down and picked up the gem.
"Antitina, don't." Princess Griffin was so anxious that she couldn't speak, so she could only use her eyes to signal to the staff. These people are extremely indifferent and ruthless. If they find that Antitina is deceiving them, they will probably tear her to pieces in an instant.
At the moment Miss Freya didn't know her life or death. If Antitina died here again, she didn't know how to explain to Brando.
But at this time, the eldest princess froze suddenly.
In everyone’s eyes, the flawlessly cut Golan gem is slowly burning in the hands of Antitina-the center of the gem seems to be lit up with a flame, it slowly expands outward, and finally becomes bright Flawless, exuding soft light in all directions.
"It's so beautiful," the wizard couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this scene. Immediately he bent down and bowed his head to salute the lady of the staff: "Then my respectable princess, I can only trouble you to go with us."
"This Golan gem?"
"You can hold it," the wizard replied politely, turning back his previous arrogance, "it's done for us."
With that said, the wizard turned around and ordered all the black-armored knights in the woodland: "Sweep the battlefield, leave this place, and take away all the people who are still alive. Don't forget the lady and her sword. "
He pointed to Freya and the Lionheart Sword on the ground.
Antitina held the Goring gem in her hand and just watched this scene in silence.
She slowly moved her gaze to Princess Griffin to the side, but saw that half-elf girl was staring at her blankly, and her silver eyes were filled with pitiful and bewildered expressions.
…
What awakens from all the darkness and ignorance, chaos and ignorance are often the dreams of mortals.
When Griffith opened his eyes tiredly, but what he saw was still pitch black. The tent blocked the shining night sky of the misty forest and the shining stars. Outside the tent came the sound of insects' wings, squeaking, squeaking, like A nocturne.
The sound of women screaming and crying came from the camp in the distance, and the princess's heart involuntarily tightened. She seemed to have entered another nightmare from one nightmare, but the latter was more real, like a knife cutting through her heart. She heard her heart beating. This was proof that she was still alive. She was afraid to tell the cry of the lady of the staff from those voices-but fortunately, as a more important prisoner, Anttina is currently being careful. The ground is protected.
Thinking of this, Griffith got up from the ground because the princess couldn’t take care of the pain on her body. As the maid of the'Her Royal Highness', she was given preferential treatment. The rebels prepared a blanket for her and Freya, but only That's it.
