Hao Ren couldn't distinguish the complicated heraldic emblems of the Talos Kingdom, nor could he understand the connection between the cavalry's attire and their corresponding legion. Judging that this team is from the royal family, it seems that the large impact caused by the disintegrating ray caught the attention of the White City guards. That's right, a disintegrating ray directly wiped out the land equivalent to half a small town. If this kind of movement can't attract Baicheng's attention, then the sentinels are really blind.
However, these knights came sooner - it took a certain amount of time from when they saw the explosion in the Kant manor, to when the whole knight group set off, and then came to the manor from Baicheng. Hao Ren didn't know the quality of Talos' army, and naturally he couldn't judge how long it would take them to assemble and mobilize. He just instinctively felt that the team came very quickly.
It was as if an accident at Kant Manor had been expected and prepared in advance.
The cavalry, led by several royal knights, came to the small high ground in front of the Kant manor. They pointed at the manor with only half of the ruins left. They were obviously stunned, and then some cavalry broke away from the team and rushed from both sides. Towards the Manor—The surviving servants at Kant's Manor are fleeing down those lanes, and it looks like the Order isn't going to let anyone leave the place.
The main force of this army came straight in Hao Ren's direction.
They should not be able to see Hao Ren yet, but when observing from a distance, it is easy to find that the ground that has been turned into white sand is dominated by the hall of the main house of the manor. This is the starting point of the disintegration ray, and the investigation will naturally start from here .
Hao Ren watched the knights rushing towards him, thought for a moment, and walked out carelessly. In order to prevent anyone from not seeing him, he raised his spear and swung it vigorously twice.
Sure enough, he immediately saw the knights in front speeding up, and in the blink of an eye, these heavily armed iron cans rode their horses towards him. The knights circled around Hao Ren twice, as if extremely surprised, and then The leading knight reached out and took off his mask.
This is a tall, middle-aged man with striking red hair and a scar on his face that shows his military exploits. Agni—Hao Ren only noticed that the opponent's breastplate was engraved with extremely complicated enchanting patterns, and the golden eagle and sword marks could be seen on the cloak. This level of equipment is probably not as simple as the cavalry captain.
This extremely stalwart knight got off his horse and looked at Hao Ren in surprise: "Guardian?"
"Ah, it's me." Hao Ren looked at the big man in front of him who seemed to have some impression but couldn't remember his name, "You are..."
"Gron, you should have seen me," the tall knight replied in a thunderous voice, "the king's chief military advisor, General Baicheng, the supreme commander of the Kingdom's Eagle Legion. Lord Guardian, what happened here? ?”
"In short, I was plotted and ambushed by a guy who claimed to be an aristocrat of the kingdom." Hao Ren shrugged and pushed La Moore forward. "There is only one person left alive."
After he finished speaking, he kept silent and waited for the follow-up development. He knew that an interesting and delicate situation had now arisen: he was an "ancient guardian" who had just appeared out of nowhere, with prestige out of thin air, respected by status, but with no roots in the kingdom, and On the other hand, Earl Willie, a rebel who has been lurking in the high-level kingdom for many years, his identity seems to be well hidden, and until now the nobles of Talos still think he is a A rare young talent, a pillar of the country, he is a member of the country's intricate aristocratic system, although there are tens of thousands of such nobles, every noble is protected by their system.
In other words, he was deeply trusted by the king.
An ancient guardian and a nobleman of a kingdom gathered privately. After a big explosion, the nobleman and his manor were wiped out. The ancient guardian was safe and sound, and testified that the nobleman was a criminal. Under normal circumstances, who is the first person to be suspected? It goes without saying.
But the general in front of him had a subtle reaction after hearing his words: Groen's expression seemed natural, he was surprised for a moment before, but the surprise didn't seem to be because of Hao Ren's accusation, but because of the development of the matter The way is somewhat unexpected. The general glanced at the ruined half of Kant's manor: "I didn't expect it to develop to this point... Lord Guardian, did you solve all the heretics by yourself?"
"Heretics?" Hao Ren frowned, and suddenly remembered that Lamore seemed to have mentioned a "religion" before, "They seem to have mentioned it, but to be honest, I am still a little confused now... Judging by your reaction, could it be that you have already mentioned it?" Do you know the situation of this Earl Willie?"
"I'm a warrior, and there are some things that someone else will explain to you," Groen said while looking up in another direction, "Well, they're here."
Another group of people was coming from the direction of Baicheng.
This team is larger in scale, and wizards wearing robes can also be seen in the team, and the team leader is also a high-level knight with full top-level equipment. Hao Ren can understand what is going on at a glance: they are the same as the first The cavalry that arrived in the first batch should be the entire team that set out together, but in order to save time, the light cavalry led by Groen arrived at Kant Manor ahead of schedule, leaving behind the wizards who were slower and needed to be protected to arrive in the second batch.
Such a large-scale mixed force further proved that what happened in Kant Manor was extraordinary.
The knights of the second team came in front of Hao Ren, but the leader of the team made Hao Ren stunned.
This is not a knight in heavy armor, but a nobleman wearing mail and a blouse: the Grand Duke of Rune.
Seeing the Grand Duke approaching him, Hao Ren couldn't help touching his chin: "It seems interesting."
Grand Duke Luen got off his horse, and he was as agile as a well-trained knight—the countries in the world of Kolo are trapped in the quagmire of chaotic wars, and even the nobles of various countries must be skilled in bows and horses. with any combat capability.
"Guardian..." The official of the kingdom still had that frozen face, as expressionless as if he was wearing a stone mask. He looked Hao Ren up and down, "It seems that you are really not the same as them. dude."
"A gang?" Hao Ren was still thinking about how the grand duke was going to talk to him, but he never thought that the first sentence would be this, "You mean these crazy people from the Kant family? After a long time, you suspect that I am with them." Together?"
Grand Duke Lu En didn't change his face, just nodded: "A stranger suddenly appeared beside Her Highness Veronica, and he came into contact with the royal heirs as soon as he came, so I couldn't help but doubt it. But just now, the eyeliner I planted in Kant Manor The message back confirms that you have nothing to do with them, and that, on the contrary, they stand against you."
As he said that, the paralyzed prince set his sights on the ruins of the manor, and frowned: "They have already planted such a level of power in the kingdom... I can't imagine that if everything goes according to their With the development of the plan, what will Talos face... "
Hao Ren finally figured out one thing at this time, he stared at the Grand Duke: "Wait a minute—so you have been wary of me since the first time we met, and the reason is that you think I am also a' pagan'?"
"The timing of your appearance is too sensitive, your identity and background are like a fantasy, your words and deeds are suspicious everywhere, and Baicheng is shrouded in a cloud - Your Highness Veronica can trust you, but I can't."
With that said, Grand Duke Luen finally turned his face: "Guardian, I know you want a more detailed explanation, don't worry, you will naturally get all the answers after this time, Your Majesty is waiting for us to go back in the Golden Rose Palace .”
Hao Ren nodded and looked up into the distance: the knights have divided into several groups to seal off the entire Kant Manor. At every intersection, you can see the battle flag of the golden eagle fluttering in the wind, and those who fled from the manor in all directions More than half of the surviving servants have been captured. These panicked people were driven by the cavalry and gathered in one place, looking like driven livestock. Seeing this scene, Hao Ren frowned: "These soldiers work really hard when dealing with ordinary people."
"There is no need to pity these 'ordinary people'," said Grand Duke Luen expressionlessly. "In places where these cultists gather, there will be no truly innocent ordinary people."
As if to confirm the words of Grand Duke Rune, a group of servants who were driven by cavalry stumbled towards this side and there was a sudden commotion. There was an official wizard among these servants. He summoned a poisonous cloud and instantly released After knocking down the guarding soldiers, the other servants pulled out various weapons from under their clothes, shouting frantically, and rushed towards the soldiers closest to them.
Everything happened in a blink of an eye, and three more soldiers were cut down in the blink of an eye, but the riot ended faster: a beam of lightning shot from a distance, and the lightning split into several strands in mid-air, killing those "household servants" instantly.
Above the cavalry regiment in the distance, a silver-robed wizard floating in mid-air nodded slightly to Grand Duke Rune.
A high-ranking knight who served as the commander came out more and more and yelled at the soldiers, and order was quickly restored. The soldiers of the kingdom continued to gather the survivors of Kant Manor together, but this time, the movements of their hands It was obviously more violent than before.
"These believers of Annihilation..." Grand Duke Luen said coldly, "Facing them, you don't need any humanity." (To be continued~^~)
