Chapter 813: No Hope of Escape
After escaping from the mansion, Bolton was seriously wounded, found a horse in the stable, and continued to flee with Solandelle.
Although Bolton did not know the full picture of the coup, now that his father had been killed by Andrew, and so many royal guards were at his disposal, it was completely conceivable that the royal palace was already under Andrew's control.
Now, hiding in the middle of the palace is absolutely a dead end, you must escape from here, and join the personal guard corps in charge of the city defense, there are many of their old subordinates, even if the political situation changes drastically, they will not easily fall to Andrei by virtue of their fateful friendship in the previous war, and when the time comes, they can withdraw from the royal city under their cover and find a relatively safe place to make plans.
Of course, Bolton, who was enclosed in the palace, did not know that the Guards had been completely annihilated, and the soldiers who had lived and died with him fought to the last moment, living up to the glory and dignity that had been passed down for hundreds of years, but there was no way to fight side by side with him again.
Solandale leaned into Burton's arms in a daze, she didn't react at first, perhaps because the upheaval came too suddenly, and the brain's self-defense mechanism paralyzed her emotions, leaving her consciousness blank and unable to think about anything.
It wasn't until the cold wind mixed with the smell of blood on horseback that her mind gradually became clear, and she suddenly realized that her father was dead, and her mother was also dead, and she would never have a home from now on...
A huge amount of pathos and confusion came to her heart, and the palace scenery that passed in front of her had obviously been watching it since she was a child, so familiar, but it became so strange at this moment, which made her suffocate and numb.
"Woo... Tears blurred her vision, and Solandale couldn't help but cry.
As soon as she cried, her mouth was covered by Bolton's big hand, and her brother's weak voice came faintly: "Can't cry... Cry, you'll lose..."
Bolton let go of his hand, and Solandale was as soft as if his spine had been pulled out of his arms, and he cried weakly: "I don't want to fight for anything to win or lose... I just want Mom and Dad to come back..."
Burton grabbed Solandale by the collar and yelled at his beloved sister for the first time in his life: "Solandale! Listen to me! You used to cry when you encountered something, and your parents would come to comfort you after crying, but now they are dead! He's dead! Do you understand?! ”
"Tears are the most useless thing in the world, what's the use of crying? Does crying solve the problem? Can crying bring Mom and Dad back to life?! Although Bolton was stern, the pain of losing his father and mother was still pierced in his heart like a knife, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
Bolton was expressionless, silently wiped away his tears, and said in a deep voice: "Don't you want to be a queen?" This is your battleground! I'm not going to watch your future be taken away by that bastard Andre! You must leave the royal city now, and only by getting out of here alive can you have any hope of fighting back! ”
Solandale choked up and asked helplessly, "But... Leaving here, where are we going..."
This question made Bolton fall silent, yes, leaving the royal city is the first step, let's not talk about whether it can leave safely, even if it can... What is the second step?
Dogurland is so huge, with six major provinces and thousands of miles of gold, but if Andre controls the supreme power and is crowned king, where is it absolutely safe to look at the whole territory?
In this kingdom, I'm afraid there is no place for Solandelle to live...
Just when Bolton was dazed, the horses under him suddenly accelerated without receiving instructions, and their mouths continued to neigh in horror, as if they sensed some extreme danger.
Bolton only felt an inexplicable weight on the top of his head, he looked up, and suddenly his heart was half cold, only to see a huge dragon soaring in the sky, and the dragon knight on the back of the dragon held a big bow and aimed the arrow at them.
Bolton never imagined that not only those imperial guards, but even the dragon knights of the Regnome family had defected to Andre.
Could it be that Uncle Sting... Burton didn't dare to think about it at all.
"Huh-" A piercing sound of breaking the air approached at high speed.
As the arrow came, Bolton flicked the reins to guide his horses away, and the arrow plunged into the ground beside it, splashing large clouds of rubble.
Bolton dodged the blow, but the horse became so flustered by the dragon's intimidation that he slashed his sword in the horse's hip.
The pain temporarily suppressed the horse's panic, and it let out a short neigh, and ran forward desperately.
With the power of the Dragon Knight, it is actually very easy to kill Bolton and Solandale, and a single breath of the dragon can burn them to ashes.
But the dragon knight's purpose was obviously not to kill the two, he did not use the high-powered dragon breath, and the arrow was deliberately missed, just to slow them down and wait for the real "hunter" to arrive.
In this playful chase, Bolton used his superb equestrian skills to dodge back and forth, and finally rushed to the exit of the palace, where the iron gate was not closed and the garrison was small, and now was the time to rush out!
Seeing that Bolton was about to ride out of the palace, the dragon knight seemed to get serious, and he used his dragon power to influence the horse's sanity, and re-corrected his crosshairs, shooting an arrow.
"Poof!" The horse was unable to dodge due to the dragon's might, and the arrow pierced through Burton's shoulder blades, and he and Solandelle in his arms were driven by inertia and fell off the horse's back.
Bolton had been seriously injured by the imperial guards, and at this time his shoulder blade was pierced again, and he was already at the end of his crossbow, and he had no strength to get up again, and when he was dying, he pushed Solandale with his blood-soaked hand, pushing her towards the exit, and muttered: "Run... Leave me alone... Run..."
Mom and Dad died tragically not long ago, André is a human-faced beast again, Bolton is now Solandelle's only relative in the world, she held Bolton's hand tightly, trying to carry him with her petite body: "I'll carry you... Let's go together..."
Burton didn't even have the strength to push Solandel away, he closed his eyes and smiled bitterly and said, "Sister... You don't always grow up..."
"Don't say it, brother... I'll carry you... I can carry it... Solandale gritted her teeth, and was overwhelmed by Burton's heavy body several times, and her face was covered in blood, but she struggled to get back up again, dragging Burton forward with her petite body.
The door to escape was ahead, within reach, yet so far away that with every step Solandelle took, scarlet blood was left on the ground.
When she dragged the bruised Bolton out of the door, what awaited them was not a new life, but a more brutal despair.
Outside the palace, the flags were like clouds, and under the high sun, the Qin Wang army that had broken through the royal city had completely sealed off this place, their armor and swords were stained with the blood of the soldiers of the Guards Legion, and there was no emotion on their faces, just staring at the two of them coldly, as if they were looking at two corpses.
