Act 445 The Eve of Destiny II

After Caglis woke up from the violent shock, he subconsciously touched his forehead. It was full of blood. However, he carefully checked his body and found that although there was no pain anywhere, No trauma.

He groaned and pushed away the gravel that was pressing on him, only to realize that the blood on his body was flowing in from outside - a completely stiff corpse was lying face down on the gravel. An armored knight, with the emblem of the Ophelia family on the gray armor.

Caglis's mind was in confusion, but he still subconsciously checked whether the knight was still alive. There was no doubt that the knight had been dead for a long time. The fatal injury was a penetrating wound in the back, which directly tore apart the heart and Lung lobes.

He touched the rolled armor with his hands and thought thoughtfully. This could never be a wound caused by an explosion. This meant that someone artificially created the explosion and attacked the guards of the Earl's Mansion.

Caglis suddenly had a sudden thought in his heart. He immediately thought who the target of these people was, the Grand Duke Lantonilan or the little prince?

broken.

He is the accompanying military attaché of this envoy. As the captain of the White Lion Guards who arrived at Llantonilan with the envoy, it is his natural duty to protect the safety of His Highness Haruze. If something happened to the little prince during this attack, he would not only die without mercy, and would not be able to see the lord again, but he would also be Eruin's sinner.

Thinking of this, Caglis broke into a cold sweat almost immediately, and the pain in his body seemed to disappear instantly. He stood up from the ground, picked up the knight's sword, and walked out of the courtyard.

There was no one in the courtyard, and the half-collapsed Earl's mansion was still burning. From time to time, there was the sound of something breaking, and the corpses of more than a dozen knights were scattered far and near. Caglis couldn't help but gasped when he saw this, and he had a new estimate of the scale of the attack.

He suddenly thought of something and put his hand into his pocket. There was a ruby ​​pin there. The ruby ​​above is actually a communication crystal that can be used to communicate with each other within a certain distance. Pulling out the brooch, Caglis pressed his hand on the ruby ​​​​and the metal base of the brooch, but his mind was buzzing and confused, and he tried several times but failed to stimulate the effectiveness of the gem.

Just when he was a little anxious. At this time, an exclamation came from not far away:

"Mr. Caglis!"

Caglis raised his head instantly.

I saw Haruze running in this direction with Mikaya: "Mr. Caglis, it's great that you are okay."

"This is what I should say," Caglis felt as if he had come to life again. He looked up and down at the future king of Eruin, and then confirmed that the other party was indeed unscathed. Then he breathed a long sigh of relief: "Where have you been, Your Highness Haruze?"

"Mikayah saved me." Haruze replied, while introducing: "She is Mikayah, and the teacher also knows her."

In fact, they only met Mikaya once in Qianshui Town, but Haruze knew that his eldest sister didn't like him hanging out with people of unknown origin, so he felt a little guilty when he introduced her like this.

But Caglis didn't care at all. He was just a little surprised that his lord knew this little girl. He took a closer look at the latter and thought that she was really a beauty. But he said: "Thank you very much, Miss Mikaya."

In front of strangers, Mikaya behaved very well. She lifted up her skirt and saluted Caglis generously.

"Mr. Caglis, I'm afraid this was a premeditated attack." Haruze told him everything he had seen before.

Caglis frowned. He had expected it, but when he heard that the attacker was a Buga, he couldn't help but feel troubled.

In the impression of ordinary people, the Buga people are the descendants of silver.

Not to mention that as wizards, they are naturally strong. Their empire in the sky is out of reach for mortals, certainly at this time of year. Including Caglis, not many Eruin people know the fact that the Buga sky empire has been destroyed.

However, it is suffocating to fight against such a behemoth.

But he was full of doubts in his heart. The relationship between Tonigel and the Buga people had always been very good. The Buga people also helped the lord build a fleet, not to mention the relationship between Turaman and Eruin himself. Could it be that Grand Duke Lantonilan offended the Buga people at some point? Incited revenge?

But it doesn't seem to make sense why the other party is looking for the little prince.

"What shall we do next, Mr. Caglis?" Haruzer asked.

Caglis turned back and looked in the direction of the Earl's Mansion. The main entrance of the Earl's Mansion, which had mostly collapsed, was open, and the corpses of several knights could be vaguely seen in the hall. It seemed that the Duke of Lantonilan should have left first, and the attacker was heading in that direction. Chased over.

But what made him a little strange was why the other party was interested in Elara, the newborn baby girl.

"If all this is true," he replied, "then Benicheel may not be safe anymore. It is indeed not easy for us to escape from here. Your Highness Haruze, your It’s a good idea. If we can contact Mr. Eco and the others, it is indeed a feasible solution. Although this place has been attacked, the Lannilan people still have troops in Burniche..."

He paused and couldn't help complaining: "It's a pity that I don't know where they went now, and I don't know where Miss Lesmeka and her friends went, and of course that damn bastard Star!"

"Mr. Caglis, Mikaya may have a way." Haruze said suddenly.

"Huh?" Caglis looked at the little girl.

The little girl nodded and replied in a sweet voice: "Sir, we can leave Burniche through the sewer. I know there is a road that leads to the shore of the Hind Lake in Arruche Forest."

"Sewer?" Caglis then remembered that Arruche was once the military fortress leading from Lantoniland to Viero. Complete sewers and defense facilities were once built here, but that was at least a century ago. He couldn't help but be a little surprised: "How did you know?"

Mikaya lowered her head and whispered, "That's my home."

"Oh my god," Caglis couldn't help but sigh: "Poor child, why didn't the lord take you away? You are much better off in Tonigel than here."

"That's not Mr. Brando's fault," Mikaya replied, "I don't want to. My father and mother are both here, and I don't want to leave them."

Caglis shook his head when he heard this, but Haruze looked at Mikaya suspiciously, always feeling that the latter was not telling the truth.

When did she at least meet the teacher again?

But no matter what, Caglis agreed to the proposal. They didn't know how many attackers there were in Benicher, and the situation in the town was not clear. The best option was to temporarily leave this place of right and wrong, especially It's Haruze's identity that cannot tolerate any loss.

However, Haruze was still a little worried about Star, but Caglis disagreed: "That guy disappeared early in the morning. God knows where he went."

"But……"

"It's nothing, Your Highness Haruze, Star is still a dragon no matter what. It's hard for a timid and fearful dragon to have any problems." Caglis mentioned the words 'timid and fearful' The tone was full of sarcasm: "Miss Lesmeka and the others were not at the banquet to begin with, and the impact should be very small. Now we should move to a safe place as soon as possible, and then contact them to prevent them from worrying about us. Involved in danger.”

Haruze nodded and agreed to the proposal.

…

The Earl of Violet Mansion was originally renovated from the barracks of Bonnice Fortress. Although it has been overthrown and rebuilt several times since the Year of Iron Feather, the internal structure still retains many of the original designs. In addition to defensive considerations, it is also For use as a temporary shelter.

Today, this function has obviously come in handy. Although most of the surface has collapsed, the internal area of ​​the Earl's mansion is still surprisingly large. Corridors and various corridors are winding. If there is no familiar person to guide the way, it will be easy. Get lost in it.

However, for its original owner, there was no such obstacle. Eco quickly took his wife and daughter to a road leading to the basement in the mansion.

The light in the corridor seemed very dark, and the doors of many rooms were wide open. The maids and attendants had already escaped when the turmoil started, but Eco didn't know how many people could escape safely, nor did he know How many intruders are there in Benicheel Town at this moment?

There was still no movement from the patrolling cavalry and town guards, which made his heart sink. Outside the Earl's Mansion, it was a night that should have been peaceful for Benicheel. But this night was not peaceful. Flashes of light erupted from time to time in the night sky, as well as shouts of death and desperate wailings from far away, making this restless and depressing night particularly heavy.

He led his wife Yura through the long corridor, followed by only two attendants. Fortunately, there was a wet nurse in the mansion who had not had time to escape and was now holding their daughter Elara.

Strangely enough, in such an atmosphere, the baby girl actually fell asleep soundly, as if she was not affected by the surrounding environment at all. When Eco looked back from time to time and saw his daughter's quiet little face, he felt much more at ease.

He held his wife's hand tightly, feeling the warmth coming back from Yura's hand. Yura didn't say a word, but all his feelings had long been left unsaid.
