Blood tax

Chapter 255 Decision
This contempt and power made the elves hiding in the darkness extremely angry, and they started to commotion.Several people have the desire to do it.

This is what Griffith wanted.Although he didn't have all the information, Galadia was being besieged, Sidious had become an enemy, and the tragic scene of several corpses lying on the ground was vivid.

This is the mansion of the consul, and the battle broke out here, and there must have been drastic changes in Canaan that were enough to shake the foundation.

As for why, that's not his concern.Griffith must persist at all costs until reinforcements arrive, and for this reason, he resolutely decides to stand up and attract the attention of all enemies.

He withdrew his conviction and removed the shield of fortitude from his back.When he came here, he was already aware of the crisis situation, so he was naturally fully armed.

All the enemies in front of him were extraordinary, but even so, he would fight to the last breath.

Griffith drives Minos:
"Minos, prepare to mobilize the corpses on the ground. Also,
"Tell me about the existence behind you."

……

Galadia's eyes had already begun to shed tears of blood.She stood up, grabbed Griffith's shoulders, and hid behind him.The scarlet demonic eyes swept over the ready-to-move attacker, and once again condensed a soul-stirring, ghostly flame.

"Retreat," someone suddenly ordered in the darkness, "Enough time has been wasted, leave now."

Sidious looked expressionlessly at his sister who was hiding behind his broad shoulders, then took a deep look at the menacing quasi-knight, and then glanced at the lightning-like sharp blade on the consul's corpse.

A mass of virtual fire immediately ignited there, isolating him from his holy sword.Sidious didn't speak, and disappeared into the air slowly as if stepping up the steps of nothingness.

The dangerous atmosphere disappeared one by one, and they took away several corpses that were far away, leaving behind the remains of the Archon and Lars.The garden fell into icy silence.

Galadia covered her bloody and tearful eyes, looked at the cold and withered corpse on the ground, couldn't help sobbing softly, and then burst into tears.

"Galadia, I'm here," Griffith leaned down, hugged the trembling girl in his arms, and comforted him softly, "I'll call the Canaan guards right away, they will protect you. Then we'll go after those attackers and make them pay."

"No, no!" The girl cried heartbreakingly, but still pressed his shoulder very resolutely, "I am Galadia Villanoy, the eldest daughter of the former consul, and now I am probably The first in line heir of the Villanoy family."

The extreme sadness, anger and madness had faded from her eyes.Galadia forced back her tears and said in a choked and hoarse voice:
"Pack up your equipment and weapons, let's run. We must meet up with my mother and Ms. Aviana Sylph immediately."

I was naive...Griffith reacted almost instantly.The crisis in Galadia has not been resolved, and the situation is still dangerous.

The Canaanite consul and his kinsmen suddenly fell, and his eldest son was likely the mastermind, or at least the prime suspect.Canaan's political power is about to face huge turmoil, and many forces will compete for the vacuum of power.Although it claims to be the kingdom of God on earth, it is not perfect from the experience of these two days.

In this situation, searching and retaliating against the attackers is no longer their business.

The ex-consul's daughter reacted almost immediately.Although she is still a girl with a pure mind in daily life, her instinct for politics and power has long been subtly engraved in her heart.In other words, the tragedy of her family is making her grow up rapidly.

Whoever gets her can lay claim to Villanoi's power and wealth in the name of the successor.Before the incident has a reasonable explanation, she must not be controlled by other forces.

"Whoever gets me will definitely be detained. What happened here tonight is all made up by them," Galadia wiped her face desperately, but the tears mixed with blood couldn't be wiped clean no matter what, "Ge Reeves, you will surely be killed.

"As long as the situation is stabilized, they will find ways to let me give birth to an heir, and Vilanoy's power and surname will be passed on again.

"Hurry up, other forces will soon notice the strangeness here, pack up the equipment before they arrive, and then we will run west!"

Griffith stood up immediately.He was about to leave when out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of the long sword thrust into the Archon's body.This glorious sharp sword is like condensed thunder and lightning, the blade is soaked like melting snow, and the eye-catching ice blue edge makes people unable to look away.

"Bring Hanguang," Galadia also noticed the sharp blade, "This is a powerful holy sword, although it cannot release Sidious's soul binding and cannot use many abilities, but it is also very sharp as a weapon. "

Griffith carefully withdrew the long sword from the Consul, and at the same time found that the Consul looked familiar.His appearance was as withered as a mummy, but he could vaguely see what he used to be like.

Is he Estes?The elves who met once last night, never expected to meet again and become like this.Wait a minute, did he know something in advance to come looking for me?Prophecy or Conspiracy?Last night, I actually sensed a strange aura outside the temple, and then he appeared. This must not be a coincidence.

The Archon knows my name, why hide his identity from me?What is the purpose of his conversation with me?
While Griffith was thinking, Galadia came to her side, closed her unrecognizable relatives' eyes, gritted her teeth, and prepared to take off some accessories and equipment.

At this moment, the body of the consul suddenly shattered, turned into flying ash and flew away with the wind, not even leaving the crystallization of Extraordinary characteristics.

This scene almost crushed Galadia again.

……

They collected some gems, horses, weapons and clothes.Galadia put on the easy-to-move hunting suit and light armor as quickly as possible, and brought a bow and arrow and a war blade.Griffith also found a gleaming silver lance in the living room.

He didn't have much time to search here, and he took some weapons and food in a hurry and waited for her in the garden with his horse.

"We headed west, entered the forest and left over the mountains," Griffith asked. "How much time do we have?"

He briefly checked the map and conceived the escape route.Avenues and border fortresses must be avoided, and Canaan officials cannot be trusted until they meet Ms. Sylph.

"After the psychic powers of Dad and others disappear, there will be chaos in the Nebula Temple within half an hour to an hour, and all forces will notice it," Galadia said, "If someone wants to arrest me, then they will first Use nearby men to search and delay until the supernatural beings arrive."

Galadia had already wiped off the blood on her face, but her spirit was very listless, and her psychic energy was somewhat confused.

"Just now, I used the new ability of the magic eye, and I suffered some backlash," she said softly, "It will take a day or two to recover."

In other words, once we encounter a hostile Transcendent, the two of us cannot resist.Griffith put away his thoughts and led her to run at full speed into the forest outside the city.

With six horses, they changed trains constantly to maintain speed, and moved from secluded lanes.

Two hours later, a patrolling elf army appeared in front of them.They were well equipped, and twenty half-elf soldiers led by a spellcaster and ranger were scattered at the intersection of two paths.A military horse is tied to a nearby tree trunk and appears to be resting.

Although Canaan has no city gates, some watchtowers and outposts will be built near forests and suburbs as bases for troops to patrol.

"Destroy or scatter them," Griffith leaned his lance against the shoulder armor, "They are neither formed nor mounted, so they are vulnerable."

"Wait, let me ask about the situation first," Galadia hurriedly stopped him, "They are my compatriots, if they are ordinary patrol teams, they will pass through peacefully."

"They will report to their superiors and expose our tracks," Griffith said, shaking his head, "at least interfere with their communication."

Galadia nodded, took out her wand and began to chant.Soon, Griffith found that his ears were filled with strange buzzing echoes, and the echo crystal also lost its effect.

The patrol team spotted two people riding horses from the direction of the city.The ranger who led the team first noticed the consul's daughter, and asked calmly:
"Good evening, Miss Villanoy, may I ask where you are going with your entourage at this time?"

"I'm going to the forest to perform some rituals," Galadia said, "Let's go there."

"There has been a change on the side of the orcs, and we have received orders to prevent a small group of spies from sneaking in," the elf ranger officer replied respectfully, "Please wait a moment, we need to report."

Griffith slowly put down his lance, and silently swept across the team in front of him.The ranger officer looked at them without hostility. His fellow spellcaster was using the Echo Crystal to contact his superiors, but seemed unsuccessful, fiddling with confusion.

The half-elf soldiers have some signs of psychic energy ripples, but they are not strong, and they should not be formal Extraordinary of Sequence 8.But they also wore beautiful silver helmets, and carried spears and bows.The military horses tied under the nearby trees are leisurely eating horse feed.

After waiting for a while, Galadia asked the ranger who led the team: "It seems that there is something wrong with your communication. I have no obligation to wait for you, so I will take my leave."

The ranger officer glanced at her, without any expression or waves on his face.He nodded and took two steps back, and waved at the half-elves:
"Killed humans."

As soon as the words fell, Griffith had already rushed over with his gun on his horse, stabbed the ranger officer who was dodging quickly, and then pulled out a throwing spear from the saddle and threw it at the caster who was preparing a spell.

"Boom!" The spear shattered the shield, slightly stabbing the caster's arm.Galadia bent his bow and shot an arrow through his throat.

The half-elves around did not panic or shout at all.They were originally scattered scattered on both sides of the road, but they gathered together in a blink of an eye, surrounding them coldly and silently.

The five half-elf soldiers who reacted the fastest grabbed their spears and were about to launch a salvo.But the armored cavalry was much faster than them, and they rushed over before throwing their guns and smashed them into pieces.Six soldiers with long guns immediately surrounded them.They wore silver helmets with bright yellow and bright red feathers on their heads, held three-meter armor-piercing guns, and small anti-arrow shields on their left arms.

They are really elite soldiers, and they have been prepared for a long time!

Griffith drew his spear and threw it at a spearman.As soon as he shot the gun, he pulled out the condemnation and pulled the trigger on the gathered soldiers.
