In less than half a month, the cavalry led by Bruno Green approached the royal city of Gaina.
They stopped in the Grand Canyon of Gandamia, a little farther from the royal city.
Because there are sentries that Wright had arranged in advance.
In order not to affect the innocent people in the royal city of Gaina, Wright dispatched the royal cavalry to intercept the team led by Bruno Green here.
Wright also set off to the canyon to fight the enemy when he received the news.
Rodney took his sister Nia's hand tightly and broke into a deserted mountain forest.
Behind them there are enemies in hot pursuit, but there are also unknown dangers ahead... beasts, confused directions...
Rodney's heart was full of anxiety and anxiety.
Not only for the enemy's dog-like pursuit, but also for any terrifying existence that may appear in the mountains and forests.
In the vast white mountain forest, everything has been covered by heavy snow.
But once there is something, it is immediately obvious at a glance, obvious.
He had no way to stop to clean up the footprints and traces left behind him, so he could only hold Nia's hand tightly and move forward continuously in the thick snow.
His heavy breathing condensed into water vapor in the air, and it was extraordinarily clear in the extremely quiet, seemingly isolated mountain forest.
Nia was five years younger than Rodney, and she was still a small girl, about eight or nine years old.
She was grabbed by her brother's hand and ran staggeringly.
The originally white and tender smiling face has now been frozen red by the cold air, and the luxurious little skirt is also messy at this time.
She had an expression of obvious fear and fear on her face.
I don't know if it's because of fear or the weather, and I keep shivering.
In the end, he stumbled and fell into the icy snow, his red, swollen and cracked hands pressed on the snow particles, leaving red marks.
"Nia!"
Rodney exclaimed and hurriedly stopped.
He stretched out his hand that was also red and bruised from the cold to support his sister: "Get up, Nia, does it hurt? Brother, carry you on your back."
Nia shook her head at first, but in the end, as if she couldn't hold it anymore, tears flowed from her eyes, and she whispered, "Brother, Nia is so afraid..."
Rodney held back his sore nose and comforted: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Nia, there is a brother by your side."
"Brother won't let you get hurt... Nia, get on your brother's back..."
He knew it couldn't be delayed any longer.
Otherwise, the enemy will immediately catch up to kill them.
Rodney and Nia are the children of a count lord of Gana.
However, their father's territory was forcibly seized by Bruno Green, only because their father was loyal to His Majesty the King, and was brutally killed by Bruno Green afterward.
They were led away from the strife by knights loyal to their father before the territory was taken.
But along the way, Bruno Green sent people to chase after them and wanted to kill them all.
The knights died first.
Immediately afterwards, the housekeeper who protected them from fleeing was also killed not long ago.
Rodney learned from the other side that his father was also long dead by Bruno Green's sword, even though he was sent away...
Rodney held back the tears, biting his pale lips and carrying his sister on his back.
However, before he could run a few steps forward, an arrow slammed into the snow in front of him.
The end of the arrow trembled slightly, making a very light screeching sound, but it could not help but be extremely loud in Rodney's ears.
With a horrified expression, he wanted to flee quickly, but he was caught off guard by someone who threw a stick in the crook of his leg and knelt on the ground. The younger sister who was on his back also fell and rolled not far away.
"Nia."
Rodney stretched his arms and tried to climb over.
But the next moment he was buried in the snow with his feet on the top of his head, and the cold snow particles and the smell of the soil poured into his nostrils, making him almost out of breath.
Fortunately, the person on him didn't want to kill him at this time, and in a split second, he moved his feet away, grabbed his hair and pulled him up.
"Cough cough... Ni, Nia."
In Rodney's blurry vision, Nia's small body was still lying in the snow, silent, not knowing what the situation was...
He stretched out his hand in vain, but could only watch a knight who was chasing them walk in the direction of Nia, and then lifted Nia to take a look.
"How about it?"
Rodney heard the knight holding him ask.
"Not dead, just fainted."
"These two damn cubs escaped far enough to almost let them jump into the mountains."
The knight who grabbed him said, "They were destined to come in, but not to go out."
There is no place where two children can survive in the deep mountains in winter.
"That's what it says."
"But Lord Greene asked us to go back with the bodies of the two of them. If they escaped into the depths of the forest and died, it would be difficult to find the bodies after they were buried in heavy snow."
The chasing knights seemed to think that Rodney and his sister Nia could not escape their grasp, so they did not kill them immediately.
They woke Nia, admired their fearful expressions for a while, and then threw them on the ground, raising the big swords in their hands, intending to kill the two of them in one fell swoop.
Yet at this moment.
A deafening tiger roar resounded through the forest.
At the same time, an arrow shot at one of the knights' chest, the armor cracked, and the blood bloomed...
The knight fell to the ground with his eyes wide open without even humming, his body slowly losing temperature.
The sudden change made the other knights look shocked.
They reacted immediately and planned to grab the Rodney brothers and sisters and escape from here.
But their speed was not as fast as the arrow that struck again a moment later, but in the blink of an eye, they were shot into a sieve and fell to the ground.
Rodney protected his sister Nia and lay on the ground.
He didn't dare to look, and only raised his head tremblingly after the screams around him were over.
Immediately afterwards, he opened his eyes uncontrollably.
I don't know when the cavalry team wearing black and white armor appeared on the snow-white horizon.
What made Rodney feel even more panic was the three fierce-looking beasts slowly walking in front of the cavalry team.
That huge body, sharp teeth and claws...
Rodney could feel his sister Nia clinging to him timidly, shivering constantly.
He didn't dare to move at all.
at this time.
The beautiful white tiger with only black stripes suddenly ran fast in their direction, and then jumped up suddenly, the snow-white fangs that seemed to be blazing with cold light were just close at hand.
Rodney and sister Nia screamed in horror.
But the white tiger crossed them and attacked behind...
A scream sounded, it turned out that a knight was not completely dead, and he got up just now and planned to kill them completely.
After all, in the face of the current situation, it is no longer possible for him to escape, and he has to kill the mission target before he dies.
But his speed was not fast, and he was killed by the white tiger as soon as he got up.
Rodney couldn't help shaking.
He wanted to hold his breath and didn't dare to disturb the beast, but he couldn't control his numb body: "Don't, don't kill me..."
He hugged Nia tightly, making a weak voice like a mosquito.
The snow group sniffed in the direction of Rodney, then looked away even if he was not interested, and stood there waiting for the arrival of the cavalry team.
Soon.
Another black tiger and a lion that seemed to be clothed in golden light also came to the front, full of oppression.
Rodney also heard an eagle chirping in the sky, but when he looked up, he found nothing.
"Who are you?" Fernandi asked.
He saw that the two children had wounds and frostbite on their bodies. The clothes were made of expensive materials and the price was not cheap.
But at this time, it looked tattered and messy, and there were some definite guesses in my heart.
"I, we..."
Rodney was wary, not knowing whether to say it or not.
He glanced at the cavalry team without a trace, but did not find any emblems or flags that represented his identity.
At this time, a man suddenly came down from the carriage in the middle of the cavalry. He walked up to the knight in black armor and said, "The lord ordered us to take these two children... Wait... After all, leave them in this forest, They don't necessarily survive."
"Now go all out for the Grand Canyon of Gandamia..."
Rodney faintly heard their conversation.
They don't seem to kill him and Nia...
Rodney was finally relieved.
Immediately, it was dark in front of her eyes, and she passed out with Nia's anxious cry.
Grand Canyon of Gandamia.
This is a well-known wilderness canyon in Gaina, and the terrain is not rugged.
However, the canyon is long, and there is a tributary of the Aibutin River in the middle. It is cold in winter, covered by heavy snow, and the river water is also frozen. The canyon seems to form a barren ice field.
Today, Wright is retreating on the opposite bank of the tributary of the Aybutin River, separated by the frozen river water, and there are several potholes about six feet in the ice.
A few broken pieces of armor floated in the chilly river...
On the frozen river, there were many dead corpses lying on their sides. The weapons in their hands were left beside them, and the opaque ice layer was soaked with blood.
There was a line of knights guarding the back of the pothole with guns. It seemed that as long as Bruno Green dared to lead the cavalry to break through, they would be desperate to smash through the ice.
Bruno Green sneered at Wright's direction: "How long do you want to resist?"
"The throne of Gaina will belong to me sooner or later. You surrender now, and I can spare your life."
There are two big lions with their heads firmly tied by ropes. At this time, they are baring their sharp teeth fiercely, and their saliva is dripping down. Obviously, they are so hungry that they can't wait to rush out and have a full meal. .
But under the deterrence of the trainer, he did not dare to make the slightest move.
Wright ignored Bruno Green's words.
He looked into the distance, and finally heard a loud eagle chirping from the sky. At the same time, the sound of shaking the ground was coming from far and near...
