Scene 286

Nimesis and her knights are at war, but no one in the hall has noticed it yet. Her Royal Highness Princess Eruin has come to the countess, she smiled at Del Ferry, who frowned slightly and nodded slightly at the most beautiful princess in Eruin, but her eyes There is an imperceptible loneliness hidden in it, but no one notices it. Princess Griffin and Delphire obviously knew each other, and there was a little whispering in the presence—Yanbao is a family as old as the Corcova royal family, and the history of both has continued since the kingdom was born. So far, it is not surprising that its members have become acquainted with the heirs of the royal family.

It's just rumors that the royal family maintains mysterious ties to some ancient traditional families, and now it's finally confirmed. The actions of Her Royal Highness immediately aroused the vigilance of several powerful figures present. Only Marquis Youxi watched this scene with a half-smile. He stood aside, raised a wine glass filled with blood-like liquid, and said softly He said, "viruysatt (Elvish: good show begins)—" But at this time, the movement outside the manor finally reached his ears. After greeting Brando before, he stood alone by the window , so he was the first to notice the movement outside. When he looked back, he happened to see the movement of the royal knights, and his expression changed dramatically.

Griffin turned his gaze to Brando again, "It seems that Yanbao's past glory can go one step further, I really envy your luck, and Deer Ferry. Is this your knight? Last time I Why haven't you seen it?" There was a hint of envy and regret in her silver eyes, but her voice was calm and full of sincere blessings.

Everyone present knew why Her Royal Highness said that.

A young man who stepped into the golden realm at the age of twenty, even if he could be regarded as the power of the enlightened level of elements, because a genius like this would definitely reach that step in the end. And element-level powerhouses are powerful existences that can change the balance of power in any country. The Corkova royal family originally had upper-level power that surpassed many princes under the rule of the dynasty, but after the separation of the north and the south, Griffey Because it is very clear that the power in his hands may not be more than that of the dukes. In fact, it wasn't for the cross-handed Buga to join, her situation was even more bleak.

But Buga is not serving the royal family after all. Her Royal Highness Princess Eruin knows this better than anyone else. She looked at Brando and couldn't help being sad and jealous for a moment. Why is God always unwilling to favor Cole? The royal family of Kova, even at this moment when the dynasty is faltering. For the sake of the country and the future of her younger brother, she can even sacrifice everything, including her life and body. Can God even dismiss such a determination?

But Del Ferry's face darkened, and she nodded: "Because my father didn't consider whether to arrange a knight for me last time, so sister, you haven't seen him."

Brando couldn't help but glanced at the Countess, probably not expecting her to lie without changing her face.

"So that's it," Griffey seemed to have noticed something, she raised her head, and suddenly narrowed her eyes at Brando,

"I don't know why, although I haven't seen you before, I still feel that you look very familiar... It's really strange."

Brando immediately felt two sharp eyes falling on him. His body was slightly tense, but he followed his eyes and found Marcarro and Leo Woods standing behind the princess. These two cunning old foxes Evidently recognized him. But Brando was not nervous, but relaxed. He didn't put on makeup today because he wanted Marcarro and Leigh Woods to create an opportunity for him to meet Her Royal Highness.

Brando knew that neither the Sifah royal family nor the Corcova royal family would give up on the whereabouts of the Lionheart Sword. Li Woods and Markaro were also there when he triggered the artifact reaction. He believed that Eli Woods Knowledge will soon determine that the movement he caused must be related to the Lionheart Sword. In fact, the appearance of Aruin's envoys in the Green Tower shows that Oberg VII may have noticed it. As his only and most beloved daughter, Brando did not believe that Princess Griffin would be ignorant of this matter.

The person involved in this matter is in front of them now, and he believes that the royal party will definitely take action.

But Brando didn't know that the Lionheart Sword had already appeared in the world and was now in Freya's hands, otherwise he would never have come up with such an idea. It's just that the royal party blocked the news too well, and there are not many people who know the Lionheart Sword. It was Freya's performance at the knight meeting that attracted attention instead of her, not the sword in her hand. Various reasons led to Brando's misunderstanding today.

Brando did not intend to answer Her Royal Highness's question. He is now playing the role of Delferry's retainer. Although the princess asked him the question, he is not qualified to speak here. He turned his attention to Delferry, and the latter answered in a slightly embarrassed manner: "your Highness……"

Griffin smiled: "Dilferry, are you still worried that I'll poach your corner?"

"Of course not." The countess said that was not necessarily the case. In fact, the world did not know that the royal family of Corcova and the Yanbao family had always had close personal relations. This was one of the biggest secrets of the royal family. She and Griffin had known each other since they were very young. , I know the competitive character of Her Royal Highness very well. It's just that if Brando is really her subordinate, she will definitely not feel relieved about this 'sister', but anyway, she knows that Brando has nothing to do with her, so she will be perfunctory.

At this time, a slender figure separated from the crowd and came to the princess. Brando saw clearly that it was a middle-aged man in a black dress with a slightly long face and sharp eyes. He must have a high status to be able to enter and exit here, but what surprised him was that he felt a little familiar when he saw the other party, so he couldn't help it He took another look; his attention caught the other's attention, Overwell turned his head, and then was slightly taken aback—Brando didn't recognize him, but he recognized Brando—he was just Riddenburg had a relationship with Brando once, Sir Overwell the wolf, and he also praised Brando's talent in front of Griffin, but seeing Brando here today still couldn't help but be dumbfounded. for a moment.

"Why is this guy here?" The shrewd nobleman frowned, and the first thing he thought of was the identity of Brando Highland Knight.

"Miss Overwell, what happened?" The princess noticed Overwell's expression and couldn't help reminding her.

Sir Wolf gave Brando a deep look—wolves will always remember their prey—Overwell's eyes couldn't help but make Brando frown. He didn't know where he met this guy, but the other party obviously recognized him, but he still wanted to confirm that Overwell had turned his head - Brando only saw the other party fighting with Her Royal Highness A wink.

"There is an accident outside, let everyone avoid it." Overwell's voice was not loud, but it unexpectedly covered the whispering voice in the hall, making everyone quiet.

"What's wrong?" Griffin frowned beautifully. This is the site of the temple. If something happens, it must not be a trivial matter.

"There are heretics out there," Overwell replied.

pagan?

With a bang, the entire hall seemed to be lit. The Temple of Fire is not exclusive. Except for the non-interference of the five temples, some small sects or mysticism are mostly allowed to spread among various countries, but the mouth of the five temples There is often only one heretic in the world, and that is the cultist who follows the dragon of dusk or darkness. Regardless of how the cultists appeared in the central area under the jurisdiction of the temple, it was rumored that most of the cultists were cruel, evil and crazy people. Of course, most of the nobles present were unwilling to be buried with these madmen, so some noble women even screamed.

Not to mention these ordinary nobles, even Griffin and Brando couldn't help being surprised. Her Royal Highness Princess Eruin was surprised how the cultists would sneak into the venue, but Brando was surprised that such a thing had never happened in history, so in comparison, the latter was even more shocking.

"What's going on?" Griffin saw that the monks in the temple had begun to maintain order at the scene. They were all in the center of the venue. Even if they wanted to look outside, they couldn't see the outside of the manor. The situation, she was very aware of this, so she asked directly.

But this lone wolf, who was always known for his shrewdness, also shook his head this time.

Don't talk about him, in fact, even Nimesis, who first discovered these cultists, didn't know what happened at the moment. She had deduced from the information from Freya that Brando and the others must have ill intentions towards Her Royal Highness, and immediately ordered her knights to prepare to protect the Royalist party in the hall, but she did not expect that her order had just been issued. As soon as the knights drew their swords, the whole manor was in chaos.

Those cultists seemed to appear out of nowhere. They had previously disguised themselves as various people, some were servants of nobles, and some were even guards of the manor. As soon as they saw the knights under the princess drawing their swords, they immediately went to sleep. Followed by drawing the sword, and then as if premeditated, the soldiers divided into two groups and one group of soldiers and horses attacked the knights of the royal family, and one group of soldiers and horses directly entered the manor. The guards would be the enemy, so a single encounter would result in heavy casualties.

When this scene happened, everyone couldn't help being stunned. Only Nimesis believed that this was the plan of Brando and his party, so she jumped over the wall in a hurry-she was a qualified soldier, without a trace of panic at the moment, she immediately drew out her long sword and gave an order to everyone around: "Don't fight with these guys!" Entanglement, their target is the nobles in the hall, all the knights obey the order, immediately open a hole, follow me—"

After finishing speaking, she stabbed out with a sword, piercing the heart of a cultist who was rushing towards her, and then drew back the sword in an instant, without even a trace of blood on the sword. The movement was so fast that even the people around him didn't have time to see it clearly.

There are quite a few noble guards present at the moment, but they were stunned by the shocking scene in front of them for a moment. At this moment, when they heard such a calm and firm order from the field, they immediately reacted in shock, and they all pulled out their weapons and killed them. ; It's not that Nimesis can order these guards with the prestige of the royal family, it's entirely because most of the nobles who can participate in the Anleke meeting are of extraordinary status, and even if one of the nobles in the hall is injured, they, the servants, will not be able to pay starting price.

After all, there were only a small number of cultists who stayed outside. As more and more noble guards joined the battle, several long holes were opened in the temporary defense line they built around the periphery. But the aristocratic guards were not happy at all. These cultists lived up to their reputation, and they often had to fight back at the last moment. No one fled the battle. Thinking of how many such murderers entered the manor, Everyone present couldn't help but feel heavy.

Due to the strength of the temple, the nobles were ordered to leave most of the guards outside the manor, but at this moment the accident happened suddenly, and everyone present could not help but curse the bastard behavior of the temple of flames.

Nimesis is no exception. Her brows are tightly frowned. Although Her Royal Highness has Woods by her side, wizards are still inferior to warriors in close quarters, especially when the young man is still of the golden rank and may even have the strength of an enlightened element. , in the case of being close enough to the princess, it is very likely that Master Li Woods will not be able to stop it in time. She pressed the long sword in her hand, her knuckles turned white, and as soon as the royal knights broke through the direction of the cultists, they immediately attacked the manor.

The black-haired female knight couldn't help but looked around anxiously, but at this moment, she found Freya in a daze, "Freya!" Nimesis seemed to have found a place to vent her anger; Among the few people who know the true life experience of this girl from Butch, 'The Scepter of Fire' Everton is one of the true prides of the Royal Party. It can be said that there would be no Royal Party today without Everton, and for this Everton's only blood relative, Nimesis, has complicated feelings.

Freya does not always satisfy her. Although she appreciates the other party's efforts, looking forward and backward, hesitating are not the qualities a general should have. How can such a person support the honor of the "Scepter of Fire" ? Besides, about that dream...

Nimesis shook her head to get rid of her nervous thoughts, she looked at Freya sternly, and the latter seemed to have just reacted.

"If you were in a daze like this on the battlefield, you would have died 10,000 times." Her tone was involuntarily cold.

"I'm sorry, Nimesis-senpai." Freya was taken aback, and hurriedly replied, "I was distracted by other things..."

"Your explanation had better convince me." Nimesis replied.

"The guards of Grand Duke Anleke," Freya frowned and looked at the side of the carriage, and whispered, "Senior Nimesis, although they are attacking...but they are located next to the carriage—clearly What we talked about in the tactics class is closer to the defensive tendency. This is the basis of the basics we have learned in the Eruin infantry drills. The guards under Grand Duke Anleke should be soldiers. They will not be unclear about this. Bar?"

Nimesis's eyes lit up slightly, she heard that there was something in Freya's words, and immediately reacted. It is impossible for so many heretics to appear inexplicably within the range controlled by the temple, especially if these heretics have mixed into the guards with such a large amount of money, they must have reached a deal with a powerful figure behind them—the guards of the nobles are not so powerful. Easy to replace, there is already a strong stench of conspiracy behind this.

"Be careful with them." Nimesis replied coldly, but she frowned secretly. Her Royal Highness was negotiating with Grand Duke Alek, and what intention did the other side express by this move? Or framed?

Thinking of this, she remained silent, but she didn't know that Freya on the side was greatly relieved at this moment. The girl from Butch's countryside was full of joy, thinking that Brando would not be detrimental to Her Royal Highness.
