Chapter 57: The Unwanted Visitor (Part II)
It's been the third day of entering Moon.
Anke sat on his horse, looking at the smooth road in front of him and the heavily armed cavalry on both sides, and couldn't help but shudder. Although it was also winter in the Land of Light, the temperature was not as cold as in Moon at all. Although Anko had been prepared before coming to Moon, the severe cold here still made the priest who was born on the warm sea a little unbearable, and he gasped and secretly complained that he had received such a task.
For this priest, Anke can be said to have suffered a complete unwarranted disaster. He is not from the Land of Light, but from an independent territory by the sea around the Land of Light, and currently serves as a priest in the Episcopal Land of Casablanca in the church, and can only be regarded as a small reputation in the aristocratic circle of Casablanca, but Anke did not expect that he would be pushed to the front on the cusp of this storm——— Council of Light found the church under the pretext of sending an investigation team and needing to send a third-party "independent agency" to supervise and review it. In response to the request of the Council of Light, the Church sent Priest Anko as its representative to join the investigation team and go to Moon with him.
If he could, Anke would be a hundred reluctant to come deep down, he was not a fool, although the Council of Light claimed that this investigation team went to Moon to "learn the advanced experience of the other party in resisting the undead legion", but as a priest who mixed in the aristocratic circle, Anke certainly knew what the hell was going on under the Dao Council, otherwise it was not good for them to choose a place, and they had to choose Parfield-Glenbel Collar if they were not going to die?!
There is hardly anyone in the Land of Light who does not know the name of Rodhodes, whether for hatred, fear, or whatever the other reason. Almost everyone knows the name of Rod, and what he did to the Land of Light. abolished the Arashi Sword Saint and killed all the Wizard Knights, making Goshawk, one of the three heroes of the empire, lose face. The Land of Light has almost never lost such a big face for so many years, and for a while, not only the high-level was shaken, but even the people were talking about it. Almost all the bad things related to the Land of Light this year have his shadow and name in front of and behind him. Although he had never met Rhodes before, Anko was certain that the young man was definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he had no intention of taking the country of light into account at all.
This time, the Council of Light is just going to cause trouble on its own, why do you have to pull yourself along to do it? With the Holy Soul on top, does he look like a wronged boss like that?
Anko was scornful in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged on the surface, and he glanced at the dozen or so holy knights beside him, as well as the ones that were held high by his side. The sacred banner of the Church was a little relieved in my heart. I heard from my colleagues that the church still has some contact with the lord here, and I hope that the lord can see his face, at least not so blatantly......... Otherwise, it's really troublesome.
Thinking of this, Anke couldn't help but turn his head and look at the carriage next to him and shook his head. In his own line, it is this carriage that stands out. It not only bears the emblem of the Land of Light, but also the emblems of the Locktos Foundation and the Council of Light. From the inside out, it shows the identity and status of its passengers, and this kind of outward luxury makes Anke, a church member, a little unaccustomed to it. There were also the knights who surrounded the carriage——— their faces were gloomy, as if they had died of their own father, and they exuded an aura of being unapproachable from all over their bodies.
What's going on in the mind of the Council of Light?
As Anko pondered, they had turned the mountain path and reached the foot of the fortress of the Land of Atonement. Seeing this magnificent and huge fortress in front of him, even Anke couldn't help but be amazed, originally he thought that it was indeed a little weird that Rhodes could resist the undead legion, but after looking at the fortress in front of him, Anke couldn't help but feel that it was really not strange that the lord could block the attack of the undead legion.
At the moment under the fortress. There was a bustling crowd of people and wagons everywhere, and since the end of the war, many people have returned to their hometowns. Right now they are lining up to be inspected and then enter the fortress. As a result, the convoy of the Land of Light slowed down and stopped at the end of the line.
Anko didn't care, anyway, he still had the necessary humility as a clergyman, but the knights of the Land of Light who opened the way were already a little impatient. Originally, the Land of Light was full of flying and domineering outside, and after entering the Moon all the way, no one dared to stand in their way. But here, this group of hillbillies didn't even pay attention to them at all, and the banner of the Council of Light they held high seemed to be nothing in their eyes, and more people just turned their heads curiously and looked at them and turned their heads away.
Don't you see that these filthy hillbillies are the envoys of the Land of Light? Don't know how to give way? People in such a barbaric place are really uneducated!
Although they were dissatisfied, these knights did not shout anything loudly, and it seemed to them that talking to such a barbarian on the border would be dirty their mouths. But this does not mean that they have no choice, and soon, I saw the knight at the head riding his horse and slowly walked forward, and then, he looked ahead and snorted coldly.
"Humph!!" With this muffled snort, I saw a horse pulling the carriage in the crowd in front of me suddenly stood up as if it had been frightened and neighed in horror, and then the frightened horse pulled the carriage and ran forward madly. In the face of this sudden scene, the surrounding crowd suddenly exploded the nest, and everyone screamed and scattered to both sides to prevent being trampled by the crazy horse, but there were still a few people who were unfortunately hit by the horse and flew away. And a mother and daughter in the carriage were also crying in fright at this time, they hugged each other, clutched the body of the carriage tightly, and screamed desperately.
Seeing this scene in front of them, several knights couldn't help but laugh, and Anke, who saw all this in his eyes, frowned, but he didn't know what to say. He also knew very well that this group of knights in the Land of Light usually had such an arrogant posture, but here......... Ay...............
The frightened carriage ran wildly, and at this moment it sensed that something was wrong, and the soldiers in front of the fortress gate also hurried up to meet them, and at this moment, suddenly a slender and pretty figure flashed among them.
"Get out of the way!!"
Anne lunged forward and faced the frightened horse in front of her. The girl's face was solemn, and she raised the pure gold shield in her hand and raised it forward. Soon, the horse crashed headlong into the huge shield, and the impact was so strong that Anne couldn't help but take several steps back before stopping, and the frightened horse also turned dazed because of this head-on-head collision with the shield. It slowed down and staggered forward a few steps before falling to its knees. At this time, the frightened crowd next to them relieved their hearts, and soon a few soldiers quickly stepped forward and helped the mother and daughter who had been paralyzed in fright from the carriage. And after seeing that the mother and daughter were safe and sound, a little smile appeared in Anne's eyes. Then the girl turned her head and glared at the envoys of the Kingdom of Light not far away.
"What do you want to do?"
"We didn't do anything, young lady."
The knight at the head raised his head proudly. looked at the girl in front of him and chuckled. Hearing him, Anne gritted her teeth, and her eyes were about to burst into flames.
"Don't pretend, don't think Anne is stupid. Anne knew that you did it! What are you doing this for? ”
"I repeat, young lady, I don't know what you're talking about."
Hear Anne's complaint. The knight's eyes flickered, he didn't expect that his little trick would be seen through. You must know that he has master-level strength, and just now he just condensed his sword qi and slightly stimulated the horse in front of him, this kind of trick is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to see through. Of course, he didn't know that Anne Dao had a strength close to the legendary level, and his sensitivity to this aura was naturally very keen, so he naturally found the "murderer" in an instant. ”
With that, the knight spread his hands. A look of contempt was revealed.
"This can only show that this group of rough hillbillies themselves do not know how to be polite, so they have been subjected to such retribution, not ..............."
Before the knight could finish his words, Anne's emerald green eyes suddenly sparkled, and then the girl's right hand flung forward. I saw that with Annie's movements, the pure gold heavy shield in her hand flew out, carrying a series of afterimages mixed with the sound of breaking the air, and it hit the opponent's chest like this. The poor unfortunate knight didn't expect Anne to say that she would do it, and the strength of the two sides was far apart, so she suddenly flew away from the horse with a scream and fell to the ground. And this scene also surprised the knights of the Land of Light, who stood in place, not even knowing how to react for a while. All the while, this group of people was arrogant and arrogant outside, and almost no one dared to do anything to them. But now, they are being attacked in this wild land? This sudden and huge contrast is like a noble lord who was suddenly jumped up and slapped by a lowly slave, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
It wasn't until a cold voice rang out that they came back to their senses.
"What are you still doing in a daze?!"
The knights followed the prestige, and saw that the door of the carriage had opened at some point, and a young girl stood there with a serious face, her eyes cold and full of coldness.
"She attacked the envoys of the Land of Light, which is an intolerable evil, and arrest her immediately. If she dares to resist, she will be killed! ”
"Miss Sonia!"
Hearing this, Anke was suddenly shocked, he didn't expect that this was not yet the gate, the two sides were about to fight, he hurriedly rode to the girl's side and planned to say something, but this, the knights of the Kingdom of Light who had already reacted also rushed towards Annie with angry shouts.
“…………!!!”
Anne's emerald green eyes shone brighter at the Realm of Light as she lowered her head, a beastly roar in her throat, and at that moment, Rod's voice appeared behind her.
"Stand down, Annie."
At the moment when Rhodes spoke, the knights who were rushing forward saw a black shadow leaping down like lightning, and then, countless dazzling, bright and crescent-like sword qi surged out wildly, roaring and tearing the air, enveloping the knights in front of them.
"Woo-aaa
In just a moment, the vanguard knights of the Land of Light were all wiped out, and their horses were completely torn apart by the five horses under the roar of the cold and sharp sword qi, and although those knights did not die, they were all lying on the ground with broken arms and legs, wailing and screaming.
The black shadow slowly disappeared into the air, and only then did the real Rhodes slowly step forward, this is the trick in Rhodes' self-created Dawn Illusion, after raising the level, this Rhodes-created swordsmanship can even instantly project his own phantom to attack from a certain distance, and now, these knights have become his first victims.
Seeing Rod's appearance, Sonia clenched her fists tightly. But in the face of Sonya's glare, Rod didn't pay attention to it at all, he just picked up the long sword in his hand, slowly walked to the front of the envoys of the Kingdom of Light, and after scanning the crowd, he smiled slightly.
"Very well, it seems that you haven't figured out what this place is, and whose land you are stepping on, so I don't mind telling you that. This is the Duchy of Moon, and what you have under your feet is my territory——— the territory of Parfield-Grunbel, and you are now in my territory, doing something to my people. Therefore, I want you to immediately lay down your weapons and raise your hands in surrender. ”
"What if we refuse?"
Sonia clenched her fists and took a deep breath before she spoke. Hearing Sonya's inquiry, Rod raised his eyebrows slightly. Subsequently.........
"Boom !!"
A dazzling beam of magic cannon flew over the envoys' heads, bombarding the clearing in the distance, and Anke's legs were even weaker, if he wasn't riding on horseback, I'm afraid he would have collapsed to the ground.
"I think you should understand, guys, I never mind blood on my sword, especially the blood of the Realm of Light."
“………… I advise you to think clearly, my lord. ”
At this time, Sonya's expression had turned from white to blue, and she took a deep breath before continuing to speak.
"If you do, you're declaring war on the Land of Light! What you do will drag both countries into the war! ”
"I told you, this young lady ........."
Hearing Sonya's words, Rhodes raised his head, but when he saw Rod's dark eyes, even Sonia couldn't help but gasp, those eyes were so crazy, cold and terrifying. It's like a madman who is immediately eager to kill someone to satisfy his desires.
"I never mind blood on my sword, especially the blood of the Realm of Light."
Rod looked at the girl in front of him quietly and said word by word. (To be continued......)
