Chapter 58 Members of the Royal Family (Part 2)
[I came back a little earlier today, so there should be a second watch tonight, the old and weak ask for a ticket! By the way, I have to thank the book friends who have rewarded these days, thank you very much! 】
The silent mountain forest is full of vines and dense trees. This complex terrain makes it difficult for knights to walk.
A team of knights rushed directly into the forest, startling the birds in the forest.
In this team of knights, everyone was dressed in splendid armor, and on their armor was engraved a strange bird made up of flames, led by two young men and women.
"Sister, can we reach the Black Moon Kingdom safely?"
The young man at the head is very weak, and his expression has a very strong fear.
"Benin, don't worry, we'll be fine."
Princess Shellis comforted Benin. Although she was only seventeen years old, she had witnessed the slaughter of the royal family. Prince Frederick was also fierce. In addition, she had run for thousands of miles all the way. , and finally escaped, so Princess Shellis has become very strong, and the entire team has actually been in her hands. This is not easy for a princess who is usually pampered and only seventeen years old.
"Commander Mance, how many people do we have left?"
Shirley's face was grim and she asked in a deep voice.
A burly man who was next to Shellis hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Princess Shellis, we killed all the way from the City of Light, and encountered several strong teams of church knights, so the loss was relatively large. , so far we have only eight hundred knights."
There were only 800 knights left, and Shellis felt a little tight in her heart. She knew very well that Uncle Frederick had given them more than 2,000 knights. These knights were the most elite legion in the entire Kingdom of Light - the Firebird Legion. the knight!
But even such elite knights lost nearly 60%, which shows how hard they have come along the way.
Shirley lowered her head and saw a jet-black ring in her hand, she gently stroked it with her hand, her expression showing a firm look.
"Uncle Frederick, we will definitely survive!"
Shirley immediately ordered the team to speed up, and they couldn't stay there. They had to rush to the Black Moon Kingdom as soon as possible. Otherwise, no one could tell whether the people of the church would be chasing after them.

"Wow."
The sound of the dense branches immediately made Old Wilson vigilant, but when he saw a figure in front of him clearly, he was slightly relieved and quickly greeted him.
"Merlin, what did you see? Is it someone from the church?"
Old Wilson is most worried about the large number of masters in the church, chasing them from behind.
Merlin shook his head, but there was a hint of doubt on his face, explaining everything he saw in the woods to old Wilson in detail.
"Father, these knights look very tired. They must have gone through a fierce battle. They don't look like people from the church. Maybe they are some nobles who don't want to be attached to the church."
Merlin guessed that these people should also be some nobles in the Kingdom of Light, and their titles are definitely not low. Just looking at the excellent equipment of those knights, I am afraid that only old Wilson's heavy armored knights dare to say that they are better than each other.
"You said just now that the armor on the chests of those knights is engraved with a bird made of flame?"
Old Wilson's expression was solemn and serious.
Merlin nodded. He would not misunderstand these details. The firebird on the other side looked somewhat similar to the Phoenix in Merlin's previous life, so he remembered it clearly.
"The bird made up of flames...it must be the Firebird! Baron Barman, as you may have guessed, it is the Firebird Legion, one of the four major legions directly controlled by the Bright Royal Family! Those knights should be the Firebird Legion. The knights who are protected by the knights are likely to be descendants of the royal family!"
Old Wilson's tone was solemn, but his expression seemed a little excited.
Merlin knew that old Wilson used to be a soldier. Because of the accumulation of military exploits, he was finally canonized as a noble by the royal family. Old Wilson has changed from a commoner to a noble with territory and various privileges. Therefore, Old Wilson still has a certain loyalty to the bright royal family. This is why the church directly ordered the removal of Lao Wei. Elson's reason.
In fact, not only old Wilson, but the church directly eradicates those who have accumulated military exploits and have been canonized as nobles by the royal family, and will not try to win over them.
Those who were named nobles because of their accumulated military exploits were grateful and loyal to the royal family, and most of them refused to betray the royal family.
Merlin didn't feel much about the Bright Royal Family, even Baron Barman, who was a hereditary noble title, had no loyalty to the Royal Family, but was simply disgusted by what the Church did.
Therefore, seeing Old Wilson's excited expression, Merlin and Baron Barman looked at each other, and both showed a wry smile. They all knew what Old Wilson was thinking.
"Father, we are still not sure that they must be members of the royal family. After all, the church has been preparing for so long this time, and it has gathered terrifying power for the royal family. It will never let any member of the royal family escape, so we still have to keep it. alert."
Merlin euphemistically persuaded old Wilson not to act rashly.
However, Old Wilson waved his hand directly and said decisively: "The person escorted by the Firebird Legion must be a member of the royal family! When I was canonized by the royal family and became a baron, I was personally received by Prince Frederick. The supreme commander of the Bird Legion is Prince Frederick!"
"But what you said makes sense, Merlin, so let's not leave for now. According to what you just said, the people of the Firebird Legion should be very tired. Maybe they fought fiercely with the people of the church before. They are very tired now. Need help. We'll just wait here, and when I see the Firebirds, I'll be able to tell who they are."
Hearing Old Wilson's decisive words, Merlin felt a bit of a headache. Old Wilson's attitude was very firm. If he really confirmed that the other party was a member of the royal family, I am afraid that Old Wilson would definitely lend a helping hand.
In this way, their team would be even more dangerous. The members of the royal family will definitely be the focus of the church's attention. Once Old Wilson is hot-headed and goes with these royal family members, it will be a problem whether the entire team can safely reach the Black Moon Kingdom.
Baron Barman was also well aware of old Wilson's stubborn temper, so he had no choice but to say: "Well, we'll wait here, but we can't help but be prepared, and be vigilant to make sure nothing goes wrong!"
So old Wilson ordered to rest on the spot, but his two hundred heavily armored knights stood at the forefront, ready to charge at any time.
