Riding and Slashing

Chapter 405 The Treasonous Loyal Servant

It was Lisa Dilan who was following Li Ang who shouted 'Be careful, Your Majesty'.

The one who shouted Li Ang's name was Wendy who was nearly a hundred meters behind Li Ang.

It was Sigismund who was farther behind Li Ang and scolded 'bastard'.

Agathon and the dozen iron ring centurions suddenly appeared tens of meters away from Li Ang. Li Ang and his guards did not see it, but most of the people behind him did.

It's just that no one can stop the murder.

The few feathered arrows shot from behind Li Ang came from Lisa Dilan and the twilight knights around him.

They originally planned to act with Li Ang's guards. They shot arrows urgently after seeing the spear-throwing shot. This was not to shoot the enemy, but to try to intercept the enemy's spear-throwing with arrows-this is only Risadi. Only a sharpshooter of Lan's level would try the impossible method.

In fact, they succeeded-some spears were indeed hit by their arrows, and the archery skills of Lisa Dilan and the few twilight knights were indeed beyond human imagination.

But a few arrows, no matter how powerful they are, can't stop more than a dozen spears.

Li Ang lay face up on the ground.

On his left shoulder... or in other words, a spear was inserted into his left chest. The spear shot from the bicep of his left upper arm, pierced his left arm obliquely, and the point of the spear was nailed into the left chest. Shoot him off Alice's back to the ground.

When the spear was shot, Li Ang was holding the battle flag with both hands - the spear was thrown from the side.

At this time, the throwing spear was still thrusting obliquely into his body, trembling slightly.

Fortunately, Alice reacted very quickly. The moment Li Ang fell off the horse, Alice raised her front hooves to stop, and turned her head in front of Li Ang.

This clever little mare might have just wanted to stay with its owner, but its instinctive action saved Li Ang's life - if it hadn't stopped abruptly and turned around in front of Li Ang, Li Ang might have been killed by his own family behind him. The horses of the guards were trampled to death...

Thanks to Alice blocking there, the horses of the guards diverted from both sides of Li Ang, and then half of them dismounted and surrounded Li Ang, while the other half went to Agathon's position.

Of course the guards wanted to catch the murderer, but there was no need to catch anyone now.

Because Agathon was also lying on the ground now, also facing the sky on his back, with a Noldor arrow stuck in his chest, and the tail of the arrow was also trembling slightly.

He was lying 50 meters to the side of Li Ang, holding a broad-bladed spear in his hand—Agason actually didn't have time to shoot, and the spear that shot Li Ang was the handwriting of another Iron Ring Centurion.

The arrow in Agathon's chest was shot by Wendy more than 100 meters away.

Wendy originally planned to ask Alina to continue chasing the Snake Cult according to Li Ang's instructions. Halfway through, Wendy looked back in a strange way, and then she saw a dozen people throwing javelins.

Without even thinking about it, Wendy shot an arrow at the fastest speed in her life.

The Curtain Bow probably did have some kind of magical power. Wendy shot a quick arrow that had no time to aim, and it actually accurately crossed more than 100 meters and shot into the center of Agathon's chest.

If it weren't for this miraculous arrow, the spear in Agathon's hand would probably have given Li Ang a real fatal blow - Sigismund had seen it with his own eyes, and Agathon had shot him with a spear on Desha Gazi Mountain. He has killed countless D'Shars, and almost never misses within 50 meters.

At this time, seeing Li Ang fell from the horse and fell to the ground, everyone surrounded him.

"Leon..."

Wendy ran towards Li Ang quickly with the sound of crying.

"Agathon!!"

And Klose, Sigismund and others rushed towards Agathon with full of anger.

"What the hell, Agathon bastard..."

Li Ang was also baring his teeth and cursing.

The moment he was shot by the spear, Li Ang realized who did it.

He was conscious now, but he didn't dare to move at all - Li Ang could feel the spear point inserted into his left chest, and he knew that it was best not to move at all in this situation.

He barely lifted his neck and glanced at it.

Fortunately, fortunately, Li Ang's left upper arm has a mithril gauntlet. Although the spear pierced through the gauntlet, there was not much power left after penetrating the left arm. Only a small half of the spear tip was in the left chest.

Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief, and he took a deep breath carefully - no cough, no dizziness.

In other words, the lungs were not directly stabbed, and the heart should not be injured.

But Li Ang still couldn't move. The left chest and underarm area is a place with very dense blood vessels. Throwing the spear may have punctured the artery, which may cause massive bleeding if you don't pay attention.

At the same time, the left side of the chest cavity was punctured. Before the doctor came, the spear must not be pulled out or loosened, that is, the chest cavity should not leak air—otherwise, there would be a high probability of traumatic asphyxia due to the imbalance of chest pressure. First aid methods are limited these days. Once this happens, it will be difficult for even Anson to save him.

Fortunately, Li Ang is awake, and he has common sense of surgical first aid.

He began to try his best to stabilize his pierced left arm, avoiding the secondary damage to his chest caused by the spear piercing through the left arm.

But it was hard—the arm was shot through, it couldn't be strong, and the muscles contracted and quivered after the injury.

Li Ang endured the pain and struggled to keep his left arm hanging in the air. In a few seconds, sweat appeared on his head, and the throwing spear was still trembling slightly.

The members of the guards did not dare to move around.

Wendy had already run to Li Ang at this time.

"Wendy, don't touch me... fix my arm, wait for the doctor to come..."

Seeing Wendy rushing towards him with tears in her eyes, Li Ang quickly spoke.

"Ah... ha... I'm scared to death... You're fine, that's great..."

Wendy stretched out her hand, and then retracted her hand after hearing what Li Ang said, a smile appeared on her tearful face.

But she didn't know what to do now.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Alina to rush to Li Ang's side.

She didn't speak, but quickly took out a pair of Noldor arrows from Wendy's quiver, crossed them in the ground on both sides of Li Ang's left arm, and set up Li Ang's left arm like a bonfire. .

The Noldo Arrow is very strong. With this fulcrum, the left arm that penetrates Li Ang can be guaranteed to be fixed. Li Ang no longer has to work so hard to maintain the movement, and the throwing spear that penetrates the left arm no longer trembles.

Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Alina learned a few things from the Knights of the Glorious Cross, and this operation is actually quite professional.

……

The Iron Ring Centurions had been controlled by the guards, and Klose and Sigismund ran over dragging the dying Agathon.

The arrow on Ajiasong's body pierced the center of his chest. It is probably hopeless, but he has not died yet.

But Klose and the others didn't take any care of Agathon, and dragged him all the way to Li Ang like a sack.

"How is Your Majesty doing?"

Klose asked nervously.

"Huh...fortunately, it doesn't look fatal..."

Sigismund stretched his neck and looked around. Seeing that Li Ang was conscious, he let out a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, how should we deal with Agathon?"

The two threw Agathon aside.

"...I'm sorry... Li Ang... I can't pay back the debt I owe you...cough cough..."

Before Li Ang could speak, Agathon suddenly spoke.

When he opened his mouth, his mouth was full of blood.

"Thank you for remembering the debt you owe me... don't you think you don't have to pay it back if you kill the creditor?"

Lying on the ground, Li Ang turned his neck sideways, glanced at the arrow on Agason's chest, and sighed: "What the hell, the loss has increased again, eight dragon tears..."

"Agathon, why are you doing this?!"

Li Ang was not angry, but Alina's eyes were full of anger: "You are treason!"

"Haha...cough cough...yes, treason..."

Agathon turned his head to look at Arina, with a sense of relief and relief in his eyes: "Arina... you can now get rid of my 'companions' in a fair and just way... don't let His Majesty Marius... suffer ... notoriety ..."

"what?"

Alina froze.

Li Ang also turned his head to look at Agathon, and sighed again.

Agathon slowly took out a piece of parchment from his waist, but he didn't have the strength to hand it to Alina.

He just looked at Alina and smiled: "Alina...you are so smart...you understand...well..."

After finishing the last sentence, he closed his eyes, and suddenly pulled out the arrow in his chest.

Blood spurted out.

"Agathon!"

Alina stretched out her hand, then put it down feebly.

Agathon is dead.

Klose glanced left and right, took the parchment from Agathon's hand and handed it to Alina.

Alina didn't look at the paper, she just looked at Agathon quietly, without speaking for a long time.

As Agathon said, Alina is so smart, of course she understands what Agathon means...

She didn't need to look at the parchment at all, she already knew what was written on it just from Agathon's words.

It must be a nomination list, a nomination letter with many noble names, and most of them are nobles who disobeyed Emperor Mario's will, and those nobles who opposed Alina's succession as queen.

Those nobles can indeed be regarded as Agathon's 'fellows' - Agathon was born in the Shadow Legion, and currently serves as the Marshal of the Empire, and is one of the five seats in the Senate, and is a representative of the army. Of course, those nobles will fight with him connect.

Moreover, they are likely to intend to make Agathon the emperor...

But now, Agathon led the Shadow Legion to murder Li Ang, and let the Snake Cult army go. It was treason in every way, no doubt about it.

Arina can use this incident to start a big purge, directly killing those who refuse to obey her on the charge of treason.

Agason learned about Emperor Mario's last order from Sulla, and he knew that Sulla would assassinate those nobles... But as long as Sulla took action, everyone knew that it was ordered by Emperor Mario, and Agason didn't want Ma Emperor Lue bears the stigma.

With this list, there is sufficient evidence to show that those people are the accomplices of Agathon—that is to say, those nobles can be considered as accomplices of the Snake Cult, and can be directly sanctioned by the national law, without the need for General Sura Implement assassination purges.

In this way, Emperor Marius does not need to bear any notoriety, and the Bacchus Empire does not need to pay the price of domestic turmoil.

Agathon actually thought a lot...

He had long made up his mind to die here, but he didn't just want to die.

If it can kill or weaken Leon, this is Agathon's best goal, which will allow the Bacchus Empire to maintain an advantage over the New Pendor Kingdom;

If he can't do it—he himself probably feels that there is a high probability that he can't do it, then use his own treasonous behavior as evidence, and ask Alina to cleanse those nobles who will make trouble on the charge of treason and collusion with the Snake Cult— —This will not only avoid the stigma of assassinating nobles by Emperor Marius, but also allow the Bacchus Empire to solve internal hidden dangers in a relatively stable manner.

As a thug who attacked his allies, a traitor who 'responded' to escape from the Snake Cult, and a murderer who intended to murder Li Ang, Agathon knew very well that even if he was hacked into scum, at least everything on him would be carefully Scrutinized—that parchment must eventually fall into Arina's hands.

In fact, Agathon has always been thinking about the empire, but his background and the aristocratic education he received since childhood gave him another way of thinking, which is different from what Li Ang and Emperor Marius thought.

……

Li Ang's injury was not fatal. Since it was treated properly at the beginning, there would be no sequelae. Emperor Lingang has doctors from the Knights of the Glorious Cross, and they are very professional in dealing with trauma.

It just needs to be cultivated for a month or two, and it is temporarily impossible to fight.

Li Ang was injured, so of course the guards did not go after the Snake Worship Cult's troops. Currently, the Snake Worship Cult's army is rushing all the way north.

Alina took over the heavy burden of continuing to pursue the Snake Cult army, but she was not good at commanding in front of the battle, so she did not lead the army herself, but let General Ivaylo lead the pursuit.

Li Ang asked Lisa Dilan and Sigismund to lead the army to cooperate with Ivaylo.

Klose took over Lisa Dilan's position and took three hundred Mettenheim swordsmen as Li Ang's guard captain.

This is not because everyone is dissatisfied with Lisadiran's work, but mainly because Lisadiran leads the Noldor warriors, whether it is Islandil or Aldalian's troops, they will not obey human commands.

And Wendy has firmly stated that she will not leave Li Ang's side even if she is killed, so Li Sadilan has no choice but to lead the army back to protect the Noldor Forest.

Li Ang is currently not suitable for action, and is temporarily recuperating in the Governor's Mansion in Emperor Lingang.

The Governor's Mansion in Emperor Lingang was originally the residence of Kailos, a set of high gate compound covering an area of ​​nearly a thousand acres.

This is a high gate in the literal sense - the stone arches and stone pillars in the front hall of the courtyard are as high as ten meters, which is a typical architectural style of the Bacchus Empire.

Right now, Li Ang is lying idly in the courtyard, while Wendy is feeding him fruit.

Although his legs and feet are fine and he can get up and exercise, the injury in his armpit is very troublesome.

The left arm was punctured, and the bone was scratched, so I couldn't use it. Now it is wrapped in a bandage and fixed to the side of the body, otherwise it will rub against the wound under the arm if you don't pay attention.

Moreover, Li Ang's wound was relatively large, and it was necessary to prevent secondary rupture - this was caused by a broad-bladed spear. As you can tell from the name of this type of spear, the blade is quite wide.

The most important thing is to prevent sweating and avoid wound infection.

It's the beginning of September, the end of summer, and the climate in Emperor Lingang is hot, and you'll sweat just lying down. Of course, Li Ang doesn't dare to move around.

Li Ang somewhat misses the days when there was a system...

At that time, as long as Anson was on the team list, this kind of injury would not take long to heal.In fact, even if Anson is not in the team, the system alone can give Li Ang the ability to recover quickly.

But now, Li Ang could only lie bored in the shade, treating himself as a useless person, waiting for Wendy to feed the peeled grapes into his mouth.

Well, this useless person is quite good at enjoying it. Lying there while watching beautiful women and enjoying delicious food is much more comfortable than when he was not injured...

In fact, Li Ang also thinks this is very strange - when he can enjoy leisure, it seems to be either when he is arrested or injured...
