Chapter 338 Collapse at the First Touch
Over the years, Marcelo has plenty of experience in negotiating with Vali.
According to the previous process, they should set up their positions and greet each other, then state their respective needs, and finally conduct a long and friendly negotiation.
But he didn't expect that this time he didn't even have a chance to talk. The leading knight waved a flaming sword and attacked them.
Suddenly, the sound of fighting rang out in the wilderness.
For Ronin, although Rapids Island is not his yet, with Bruno's promise, the future will definitely belong to him.
It's better to have more obedient people in his territory.
These thorns should be punished.
Even if they want to talk, they should wait until they have fought them head-on.
The knights waved their swords and charged at the group of rebels.
Some of them came from the royal knights, some were the knight squads of Pointed City, and some were the teams stationed on Rapids Island all year round. Each team has received professional training and has a natural advantage in facing this group of rebels.
With the two silver knights Karada and Luchi leading the way, the two sides almost showed a one-sided attitude as soon as they came into contact.
Puff!
Clifford slashed the knight who rushed towards him with a sword, and kicked the two people who rushed over, with a flash of panic in his eyes.
"No, staying here will only lead to death!"
He no longer hesitated and fled quickly to the back.
At this moment, a quick wind sounded, and a shadow quickly pounced down, with the griffin's claws aimed at his shoulder.
Clifford was a golden knight after all, and had certain combat experience. Although he did not turn his head, he reacted subconsciously, and rolled to the ground, and avoided the attack very thrillingly.
"Griffin!"
Clifford's soul was scared. Although some nobles also had griffins, the appearance of this creature would generally be associated with the royal family of Alduin.
If Rapid Island was a place that must be fought for, or a place that could bring a lot of economic benefits, once there was a mess, the eyes of the nobles would quickly come over.
But this is a place where prisoners are held. Although there are good timber resources, the annual output is just so-so.
For the kingdom, this income is like a drop in the bucket, and it can be made up from many places.
He couldn't understand why the royal family sent people just when there was a little chaos on Rapids Island, and they were very valuable griffin knights.
This is equivalent to playing poker. You just played a three, and the opponent directly threw down a king bomb. How can you play this?
Run, he must run!
But how can a person's speed compare with the speed of a griffin.
Moreover, just as Clifford was running away, a figure with extreme speed magic flashed in quickly, and the Flame Flow Sword stabbed at the opponent.
In a panic, Clifford raised his sword to meet it.
Under the impact of the huge force, Clifford could not bear this force, and the long sword in his hand was broken.
Roning blocked the other party's body: "I haven't heard that there was a knight as powerful as you in the White Flower Society. Tell me who you are!"
Just now, the other party was able to repel the siege of several knights including Vali with one strike, which means that the other party has a strength beyond the bronze level, at least the silver level.
But according to Vali's introduction on the way, the highest combat power of the White Flower Society is only Marcelo, the bronze knight, and it is impossible for a silver knight to emerge in such a short time.
The repeated embarrassment made Clifford despair in his heart. He released all his fighting spirit to form a frenzy like an endless tsunami, rushing towards Roning with unstoppable power.
He wanted to use this strike to repel Roning, and at the same time break the blockade and escape from this place of trouble.
Even if he went into the mountains and forests, it would be better than being captured.
Melonika, who was roaming the battlefield not far away, looked moved, "This is the sixth-level water-attributed fighting skill Tidal Frenzy. This guy is a golden knight. Ronin is in danger."
Lulans arranged him to come and protect Ronin. He would not interfere with the latter's general battle. However, once there is danger, he must protect Ronin from harm in the first place.
But just as he was about to act, Ronin's Yanliu Sword burst out with extremely compressed flames, which penetrated the opponent's surging frenzy like a flash and bombarded the opponent's armor.
Melonika's eyes flashed, and he was quite shocked.
"Ronin actually used the sixth-level fighting skill Fire Flash. Is he able to use it across levels like that Karada, or is he already a golden knight?"
I dare not imagine that the eldest grandson of the Marquis, who was not optimistic about everyone at the beginning, has now grown to this level.
In a moment, Clifford was hit hard and flew away, and then he broke several trees on the roadside before he collapsed under the tree. As a few mouthfuls of blood spurted out of his mouth, he had lost the power to resist.
Luo Ning put away the Flame Sword and turned his eyes from the opponent to the battlefield.
The battle was almost over at this time.
In the previous round of fighting, more than half of the White Flower Society's people were killed or injured, and the smell of blood filled the mountain forest road.
With Clifford and Marcelo being captured, the remaining people no longer had the courage to continue fighting. They put down their weapons and knelt on the ground begging for forgiveness.
The knights and infantrymen put their long swords on the necks of these people and controlled them in place.
Although there is no suspense in winning this one-sided battle, there are also some casualties on this side, most of which are Vali's men, and some are members of the Knights Team of Point City. As for the dozen or so professionals led by Missy, The knights did not suffer any casualties.
Vali asked his men to escort Marcelo to Ronin.
He looked at the stabbing kneeling on the ground who had been fighting with him for several years, and felt a sense of joy in his heart.
"Marcelo, the person standing in front of you is Ronin Wushan, Count of Wubei Territory, who came to destroy you under the orders of His Majesty the King!"
"Haha, now you know how vulnerable this group of people you gathered is, right?"
Marcelo raised his head, glanced at Ronin with difficulty, and snorted dissatisfied: "Kill if you want, don't show such a disgusting face in front of me!"
Knight Vali wanted to express his anger by swearing, but Ronin raised his hand to stop him.
"You have good courage, but don't worry, we won't kill you."
The purpose of his coming to Waiheke Island this time was to get some merit, so that Bruno would have a reason to be canonized.
Taking prisoners is the best proof of merit.
He will take Marcelo and other key personnel back to Golden Feather City to report to His Majesty the King.
Ronin motioned to Tom and David to carry the unconscious Clifford over.
"Before interrogating you, I would like to know, who is this person?"
At this time, everyone turned their attention to the people Tom and David were carrying. In the battle just now, not everyone noticed Clifford.
Marcelo's eyes dodge for a moment, and after a brief silence he said: "Just like me, they are just descendants of criminals imprisoned on Waiheke Island."
Ronin looked at Vali Knight, "That is to say, your information is wrong. There is a golden knight hidden among the people born and raised in the White Flower Society of Waiheke Island."
"Impossible, it's impossible for the White Flower Society to have a Golden Knight!"
Vali was very sure, "If they have a gold knight, no, as long as they have a silver knight, last time I came to collect wood, these people would have dared to kill me and then occupy the Waiheke Island Pier!"
He looked at Clifford, who was still unconscious, and frowned deeply: "This man's skin does not have the yellow color unique to Waiheke Island. I think he is definitely not from Waiheke Island!"
Vali put the sword on Marcelo's neck, "Tell me, who is he?"
Marcelo snorted and still didn't answer.
"In that case, let's lock them up first and then interrogate them after they wake up."
Luo Ning said: "Before that, we can search the White Flower Club's territory to see if there is anything suspicious." (End of Chapter)
