Throughout the day, the harriers scouted by the Northern Legion had been hovering over the convoy. Luke did not shoot the tracking beasts, but ordered the team to march in a straight line at a constant speed.

In the evening, the team left the northern border. Large areas of fertile farmland were covered with ice and snow, with large and small manors and villages scattered in the middle. Smoke rose from the scattered houses, and the faint sound of barking dogs could be heard.

As the convoy drove onto the smooth road, its speed suddenly became much faster.

It gets dark very quickly in winter, and it seems that night has fallen in the blink of an eye. The snow has stopped long ago, and the stars in the night sky form the Milky Way, accompanied by a crescent moon.

When Luke saw a forest on the roadside, he asked the team to stop. The guards formed a defensive circle with horses, then piled up stoves and started a fire to cook.

A royal knight captain led two light golden horses to Queen Christina and Luke: "Your Majesty, we will try our best to delay the assassin and buy more time for you to return to the imperial capital."

Queen Christina took the reins and riding whip, and said to the captain apologetically: "I should have faced the assassins with you, but Your Majesty is in a very dangerous situation now. I must rush back as soon as possible, so I can only let you take the risk on my behalf."

.”

The captain gave a knighthood salute to Queen Christina: "Protecting the Emperor of the Empire is the oath and only code of our Royal Knights. It is our honor to sacrifice for His Majesty.

Please leave, Her Majesty the Queen... so that we can freely fight the assassins and let them know the fighting power of the royal knights and palace guards."

"Let's meet in Saint-Lun City!"

"I hope to see you and Your Majesty again!"

Queen Christina got on her horse, took one more look at her guards, whipped up her whip and drove her horse forward.

Luke said to the captain of the Royal Knights: "I will protect Her Royal Highness the Queen when she returns to the imperial capital. After you are ambushed by assassins, you must protect the carriage and not let them discover that Her Royal Highness is not inside.

If you are still alive at dawn, you can break out of the encirclement on your own!"

"Follow the order, Governor of the Fallen Star. Her Royal Highness the Queen's safety will be left to you."

"Don't worry, I'm also a royal knight!"

At this time, Queen Christina's back was about to disappear into the forest, and Luke quickly chased after her on horseback.

The Golden Shield Royal Horse is a horse breed that has been fused with part of the unicorn gene through extraordinary breeding. They have good magic resistance and are very adaptable to the environment. Their strength, speed, and endurance are all the best among the best.

After two long days of running with heavy loads, the royal horses are still in high spirits. In the forest, they are as light and easy as elves, dexterously crossing ravines and avoiding tree obstacles.

Luke caught up with Queen Christina, and the two rode abreast, chasing the stars and the moon. They ran through the woods onto another road, and the royal horse, which became more and more excited as it ran, created a vortex with its four hooves and galloped towards the city of Saint-Lun.

…

After the queen and the meteorite left, the remaining guards heated up some ready-to-eat food and then escorted the royal carriage back to the road.

The team kept moving at a constant speed, and the leading soldiers moved one kilometer forward to conduct reconnaissance on both sides of the road. Since they knew that there was an assassin's ambush, they certainly would not rush into the ambush. Anyway, the queen was not in the carriage... So let's play with them.

.

An attack will occur at any time, and battle orders are passed among the knights. The formation of the team gradually changes from a marching formation to a guard formation. The magic arrays built into the alchemy armor and weapons are activated one after another, and the halo is emitted layer by layer.

The Royal Captain Captain rides horses at the forefront of the team. He puts down the helmet's mask and the helmet blessed by the alchemy provides him with a layer of micro -light vision. The vision is clearer, and the special imprint on the companion armor is very conspicuous.

Fear of accidental injuries during fighting.

They are the Royal Cavaliers, the most sharp sword of the Emperor Emperor. In addition to having high strength, they also have the most cutting -edge alchemy equipment.

The court guards are the strongest shields of the Empire. The function of the Royal Cavaliers is to attack. The function of the court guard is defense. They are equipped with a thicker armor than the Royal Cavaliers, holding tower shields and spears around the Real carriage.

In the night, the two pointed soldiers in front were clearly visible in the micr -light vision. They carried a full bag of magic probe and threw randomly on both sides of the road when traveling.

After entering the ground, a circle of magic ripples was released outward. The soldiers brought special glasses to see the hidden objects detected by the magic ripple.

The team continued to move forward, and I did not encounter an attack all the way, until I moved to a bridge.

The other end of the bridge is a village, which is located on the right side of the road. To resist the attack of the gangsters and the thief, there are the village walls built on the outside of the village.

Someone holds the fire to the night.

The river surface is not wide, and the river water has frozen. It is just that the river embankment on both sides of the strait is relatively high. There is no way to bypass the village to cross the river.

The captain took the team to stop at the bridge head. A pointed soldier returned to report: "Adults, the situation in the village is unknown, and the villagers will not let us go in to check. If the anti -investigation device is arranged inside, we cannot see the arrangement inside."

The captain observed the situation of the village and said, "If the assassin wants to ambush us, it is the best place here. We cannot stop here to make the assassin suspect and prepare to cross the bridge."

"Yes, sir!"

All the knights put down the helmet mask together.

The court guards were held around the Real Honor Harcom with a tower shield. The built -in defensive magic of the shield resonated with each other, forming a golden protective cover.

The Royal Cavaliers hold the Cavaliers and Swords in front of the team. There is a magic chain connected between the four groups, which can provide a spiritual connection for the combat combat skills.

Members of the Guards complete the battle preparation.

As soon as the captain waved, a four -person royal knight battle team took the lead in crossing the river. They occupied the other end of the bridge, put an attack attitude towards the village, and shouted: "We are the Royal Knight, and escorted the queen to return to Emperor Capital. People in the village.

Immediately retreat, try to approach the queen car driver ... stand cut! "

There was no response in the village, but all the people on the arrow tower ran.

The captain waved again, a four -person royal knight battle team crossed the river.

After they reached the opposite side and strengthened the defensive forces on the other side, the captain led the remaining guards to escort the Real carriage to cross the river.

The war horses run in slowly. A layer of alchemy vests are put down from the inside of the saddle and unfolded on the layers to wrap all the war horses in the armor. Feel the tense royal royal horses of the battle.

Stretch out.

All the defense arrays of the Real Mermidon launch.

The team quickly crossed the bridge. There was no change in the village. The quietness was extremely weird. According to common sense, the sound of such a heavy horseshoe outside, the dog that should have been shocked for a long time screamed.

The captain was even more certain that the assassin was hiding in the village.

Sure enough, when the team moved to the front of the village quickly, the continuous explosion sounded on the inside of the village wall. Then the front of the front village wall collapsed outwards, revealing a fully armed cavalry behind the wall.

These cavalry wears armor without any sign. All the armor is painted with black. At the same time, an airship rises in the village. The airship shines on the beam of the target.

The carriage.

The roar of the steam engine broke the quietness of the shadow, and the cavalry in the village launched an charge together. The magic chain shone between them, and the weapons in their hands were all attached a colorful Guanghua.

At the same time, some shadows hidden in the dark move to the queen's carriage quickly.

"Protect His Royal Highness!" Captain facing a flood -like cavalry holding up his weapons, the war horses stood up: "Fight!"

"Fight!" All the guards shouted together.

The excited alchemy armor erupted more magical status, and a dam that blocked black torrents in the night.

…

Queen Luke and Christina were Mercedes -Benz overnight on the road of no one at night. It was gradually slowing down the footsteps of the horse near the morning. The horse should rest and people should rest.

exercise.

They found an abandoned manor. The wall and house of the whole stone showed that the owner of the former here was a pretty rich gentleman.

Luke tied the horse in the manor simple inspections, and then said to the queen who fed beans to the horse: "This manor has no traces of being attacked, it should be the relocation of the family."

Queen Christina touched the horse's fur very gentle, responding to Luke: "The quality of life in the countryside and the city is getting bigger and bigger, and some of the genmen of the money are moving towards the city as much as possible. This is very close to St. Lun City ...

… I don't know what the court is now? "

Luke took off the saddle gear for the horse, and said, "We rest for an hour here, eat something to replenish their physical strength, and then run to St. Lun City in one breath.

His Royal Highness, is your body okay? "

Queen Christina laughed: "Don't underestimate me. In Snow City, I have fought with the soldiers of the couplet with Attel County. I went to the fire and grilled the bread and the meat cake. They were as hard as stones.

"

Luke put the heavy saddle on the ground, and went to remove the queen to ride the horse saddle.

Queen Christina picked up a few broken woods and raised a bunch of fires, and then grilled with bread and pickles with wooden strips on the fire head. After a while, Kung Fu Mai Xiang and meat aroma floated out.

After unloading the saddle, Luke sat next to the fire, and Queen Christina handed over the bread and pickles. He took it to eat.

The taste is not good, but it can be hungry.

Queen Christina looked at the gobbled Luke and laughed: "You are not like a noble."

"I am not a noble."

"You say you work for yourself, and what are you doing for all of this?"

Luke stopped eating and looked at Queen Christina: "I shape this world according to my ideas."

The answer Luke gave made Queen Christina's eyes light up: "It's a very arrogant answer... but do you have the ability?"

"Take a bite of rice, do things step by step. Set a goal first and then complete it.

After hearing this, Queen Christina couldn't help but fell into deep thought. After a while, she said: "You make me feel like one of your chess pieces, placed in a position to be eaten at any time."

“Higher risks mean greater returns.”

"Do you have a way to get the palace ministers and the empire's nobles to support me?"

"I just need to get Princess Agatha to support you."

"Do you think she'll support me?"

Luke said confidently: "She will! Emperor Augustine had a great influence on her, and the changing eras gave her a different understanding of the throne."
