Chris's Faith of Fire

Chapter 491 493. Chivalry——2

As soon as the rain stopped, Ladia immediately marched, and now it was not so important for Crystal to defend the city, Alves thought to himself.There are many wars in history where a small number of people have defeated a large number, but this time the gap between the two sides is too huge. There must be no way to save Chrissy, no...it is Garnet ruled by Firmina.

Alves confirmed this over and over again. He was worried that his actions would destroy the future and hope that still existed, but maybe they didn't exist at all.He still remembered the day when Fami was exiled, Chris had tears in her eyes. She wanted to win a political battle, but she lost to Firmina in terms of skill, popularity, and even control of power. .

Perhaps this war should not have existed from the beginning. Chrissy should probably give up the throne early and live a good life with Fami. Although it is a bit ruthless, the orcs should return to the grasslands where they belong. This pair of humans and themselves.

Maybe sometimes giving up requires more courage.

Alves followed up with Ladia's forward army. They walked as close as possible on the forest path, cutting down the surrounding trees to widen the road to speed up the march of the baggage and the rear troops. Ladia hoped that she would be able to move quickly when she arrived in front of the city. Spread out the troops to attack the city, which Alves denies.

"You stay in the forest, and I will go into the city to help you open the city gate." His confident words made every knight present suspicious.

"Your Majesty, he will tell the news." Lord Richart Shining Frederick said. "If such despicable people are allowed to return to the city casually, they will know our overall strategy and layout, and it will be very difficult to attack again by then."

"Your Majesty... I also agree with Mr. Richat on this matter." The eldest son of the Lerbal family also came to support, "We can't trust him. Although there will be losses in attacking the city directly, we can still survive before they react. Caught off guard.”

Siglo's two sons probably had the same considerations, and they nodded one after another.Alves took a deep breath. He was not trusted by these nobles. He was not trustworthy as a traitor, let alone the son of a declining nobleman who was highly suspected.

Ladia turned her head to the old man with white beard and sideburns, her most loyal adviser, "Lord Ulysses, what's your opinion?"

"If you really want to ask for my opinion, you won't ask me last." The corner of his mouth curved slightly, "You have already made up your mind, so I don't need to say more. Let that child go to the city. His There’s a spirit of chivalry in him.”

Alves opened his eyes wide. He couldn't believe that this man whom he hated before would stand on his side.Is his trust based on just one conversation?Not only him, but other Ladia's subordinates also showed disbelieving faces. They were in an uproar and began to get in front of the queen to question Lord Ulysses' words. No one wanted to suffer defeat, and directly attacking the city was the best option. A safe approach. Although the orcs are fierce in combat, they are still no match for these elite knights.Spears and enchanted swords are more powerful and sharper than those barbarian scimitars, and they have always believed so.The knights in the front row kept smacking their tongues, and gradually unified their voices into slogans, "Attack the city directly and kill the usurper!" "Attack the city directly and kill the usurper!" The voices rose and fell one after another, forming waves.

Ladia shook her head and raised her long sword. With a sharp slashing sound, the oak tree beside her fell to the ground, and her sword shone with holy light.

"I haven't said my decision yet, I am your queen!" Her voice was like thunder, resounding all around, making others afraid to talk anymore.After seeing that they were all quiet, Ladia raised her sword again, "Serel! Can you swear as a knight that you will return to Rodculo Saint and open the city gate at night?"

It took him a while to calm down, and he walked to Latiya and knelt down on one knee, "I swear."

"Can you promise that you will never keep the secrets of our army to yourself?" she asked again.

"I promise." The young knight agreed again.

"Can you be loyal to Garnet, the Kingdom of Fire with a long history, and serve its orthodox successor, Ladia Neve Masefield?"

This time the young man hesitated for a while, then shook his head, "I can't." After saying this, there was an uproar again, but they became quiet again after seeing Ladia's "Dawn Star".The young man named Alves stood up and faced the knight behind him and said.

"I cannot be loyal to Her Majesty Ladiya. I have already said this oath to Her Majesty Chrissy... This is contrary to my oath!" He paused.

The eyes of the knights in the front row were filled with anger. In their eyes, Queen Ladia was the only orthodox one, because Princess Crystal made peace with the beasts and wanted to devour the land of the Kingdom of Fire. She was filthy, Cruel, should be pushed to the guillotine immediately, almost all the knights cast their anger on this young knight.No, none of them saw Alvis as a knight, he was just a fool bewitched by a witch.

Alves was sad and wanted to lament that he could read everyone's thoughts from their gazes, but it was not that time anymore.Someone has to bear this stigma. Maybe this has been Crystal's fate from the beginning, but he also believes that the worst is not yet true.

The young man swallowed his saliva, "But Garnet should belong to the real queen who can manage this land well. I only have this intention to dedicate it to you, the legitimate heir of Garnet." He said lightly. , but the sound can be heard by everyone in front.

……

The forest path after the rain was muddy, and his boots were deeply stuck in, and he couldn't pull his feet out. Alves even wanted someone to help him, but it was impossible to show up. He could only walk on the windy road. On the path, alone.

He was very grateful to Ladia for being willing to trust him. Not every queen has such a capacity. Fami used to say... The empress of the empire, Aaron, is a dangerous and somewhat magical woman. She is good at calculations and making money but does not follow rules. knightship.

Fami, how are you doing now?Did you really ignore Chris? Did you really give up on her because of her exile?The little wolf in the young man's impression is not that kind of person. He is a knight who can stubbornly get up after falling down countless times. He never knows how to be afraid, even if he is facing the devil.He drew his sword because the demon had hurt Chris. He must have had his own considerations.

The army is marching slowly, but there is less than 20 miles left between Alves and Rodculos. It only takes a whole day to walk there. If you go faster and endure the pain in your feet, you don't even need a horse. Latiya promised to give him a horse, but Alvis refused...The orcs could tell where he came from by the breed of the horse.

The wind was still blowing, and it was the cold rain at the end of autumn. Every drop of rain hitting the body would cause the body temperature to drop suddenly.In the autumn rain, the young man walked forward wrapped in a cloak. What stood in front of him was not only muddy water but also bridges in poor condition. At night, he could not find any resting place. No one would open a shop on the short road leading to the royal capital. They Everyone knows that the Holy Sword Princess will attack here soon.

Alves was trembling all over, and all he could think of was the smiling faces of his wife and son.Jimena still retains her beauty. She had not regained her intelligence in the past and naturally gained a maternal glow after giving birth.

I really want to see her, why do I have to suffer like this here!He hid in the forest and found a rock to hide under to avoid the rain.The ground was wet, and there were countless worms crawling under the moss. He didn't care anymore, and he didn't even have the strength to step on it. The cold took away the young man's strength, but he still put his hand on the hilt of the sword. At night, maybe the beast would If you smell his scent and come to look for food, it would be a big joke if you die on the way.

Whether it was for Chris or the citizens of the royal capital, he would never die. This was his mission as a knight.

Yes, I am a knight.The young man comforted himself that his sister Sophie once hoped that he could become a knight, and his father also hoped that he could become a knight, but he once scoffed at this.He only saw the sorrow of a small person from his father who was always struggling in the social world. He vowed never to be treated as a jester like his father and live without dignity. He wanted to live freely like Ma Kai and Live...

His eyelids kept trembling, and he felt that his whole body was getting hot. However, as a warrior, Alves' ears were still sharp.

The cry in the distance sounded like that of a wolf, and he couldn't help but hide his body deeper... However, mixed in with the sound of wind and rain were the footsteps of these animals. He couldn't help but click his tongue. It seemed that the other party had discovered the location of his movements. .He bit his lip and held his breath. If he still had the Sword of the Illusionary God in his hand, he would not be in such a predicament. The weather was good, the environment was good, and even the beasts that were about to drink their hair and blood, everything told him ,Doomed.

"Bastard, bastard!" The young man gritted his teeth but couldn't help but stamp his feet.Today must be his end, but this is the last time he wants to die.Jimena and the child have not yet been assured of safety, and Chrissy is still waiting for her to save her, as well as the promise she made to Ladia.I'm a knight!He hinted to himself, I should have kept my promise, but now I have to break my promise because of these beasts?As the distance approached he felt the desire of the beasts and their hunger, their rapid panting.Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew over his head, and Alves subconsciously rolled out from under the rock. He could not see anything in the dark night, only the swift black shadow told him that he was right, it was a wolf... ...A pack of wolves is already deadly enough for him now.

He pulled out his sword and wrapped his left arm with his cloak. This movement was more agile than expected. The fighting spirit before death inspired the young knight, and his desire to survive made him wave his long sword and use his sixth sense. Determine the enemy's location.The next moment, a wild wolf rushed forward. Alves raised his left arm and thrust his sword into its abdomen. A short scream sounded. Alves hurriedly put down his sword and used his feet to pull off the wolf hanging on it. At this time, a dagger might be more useful than a long sword, but he had no choice. Alves couldn't see it in the dark, but he knew that he was using his many years of combat experience and his strong desire to survive to cause a wave of bloodshed among the wolves. Rain and fishy wind.But as the number of wolves decreased, his slashing gradually became less smooth.

The demon wolf learned the opponent's movements in its huge head and memorized them deeply in his mind. They spread out... Then the sky shone brightly, and a bolt of lightning struck the top of the mountain, which also illuminated Alves's body. Opponent, in an instant he saw a monster that was several times bigger than the other wolves standing opposite him. He almost fell to his knees. The huge monster was several heads taller than him. When did this monster appear there?

The unknown fear turned into a naked threat just because of that bright light, and then thunder sounded. Alves wanted to escape, but he stumbled. He felt himself being knocked out and hit a tree hard, and there was a cold feeling behind his back. With a sharp touch, a wolf had bitten his shoulder blade.He endured the severe pain that came later. The mud on the ground and the constant drizzle tortured the young man's last fighting spirit. He felt that the fire of his life was extinguishing and it was all over.Although he had fought hard, he failed in the end. His feet were severely twisted due to the stagger just now, and he no longer had the strength to stand up and struggle, so he could only crawl on the ground with difficulty.

"Jimena." He called his wife's name.

"Leslie." He moaned his youngest son's name.

The person he remembered was the one who cared about him the most, "Sister Sophie."

Finally, he endured the pain and looked at the deep purple sky, "Your Highness Crystal." The young man's face was filled with pain and unwillingness. The key to changing his fate was held in his own hand, but he could only look at the giant wolf in front of him. and the wolf pups tore him to pieces.

Damn it, no one can help me?He felt his body being picked up and then fell heavily to the ground.

There was another burst of swords and swords, and Alvis realized that it was not monsters but human movements and footsteps. The man in the mud at night was waving two long swords rapidly, the wailing of wolves and the roar of giant wolves, and then Everything returned to silence. He was stunned on the spot, and then rushed over and was ashamed.

At this time, the man put away his two swords and walked to his side with the clatter of leather boots and stretched out his hand.

"Ma Kai?" The young man noticed the familiar figure of the man. He was the leader of the Sons of Zerxi and his master.

"Stand up, Alves." The man said, his tone was soft but there was no room for hesitation. He could feel that the master was not showing mercy, but giving him a chance.

He endured all the pain and stood up. The severe pain in his feet and back once made him lose consciousness.

"I will not give up, because I am that Lord's knight."

The sword propped up the young man's body, and his eyes were always fixed on the not-so-distant north.

Chapter 492 494. Chivalry——3

Ma Kai was like a god who came to help. At dawn, the rain stopped, and the man lit a fire. Only then did the shivering Alves feel that his body was gradually recovering.The place where they stayed last night was full of wolf carcasses, and there were several wounds on Ma Kai's hands. He found clean water to clean the wounds, and did the same for Alves. If they were infected with rabies or tetanus, they There would be no way to return to Rodculo Saint.

The mercenary knight placed the kettle in front of Alvis and sat on the log. "There are a lot of things I want to ask." He took a deep breath. "But I think you have to continue the mission for now, so I'll keep it short."

"What do you want to hear?" Alves asked tremblingly.

"Your purpose, how to do it, and who you are loyal to now." Ma Kai emphasized the last point, indicating that this is what he cares about most.

Alves held the kettle filled with hot water in his hand. There were countless words tumbling in his mind. He didn't know where to start, but if it was the best solution to the current situation, he should start here.

"Ma Kai, do you think Her Majesty Crystal can win?"

"What I need is not a rhetorical question." He was a little impatient.

"Answer me, Ma Kai...this is so important."

The mercenary knight took back his hands that were burning. "It's impossible to win. Even if the God of War or the Phantom God comes to earth, I still feel that Your Majesty is at a disadvantage." He paused and then said, "What's more, this war has become a war between Ladia and Fermina. Your Majesty has become I took that orc girl hostage."

Alves nodded, he was very happy that the two of them had reached a consensus, "So, I will save His Majesty and His Highness Beatrice... If possible, take my wife and children out, and then open the city gate and escape. That's what we're going to do."

Ma Kai was surprised, not because he said such a plan, but because he had such a calm attitude.He is often the one who proposes such half-baked plans. As a serious apprentice, Alves is always strict. Now he is directly discussing treason in front of him.

"Hahaha, it's interesting. You only care about the people related to you. Don't you think about saving the citizens?"

"Her Royal Highness Ladia has sworn not to massacre the city. With her chivalry, I even believe that she will not kill anyone."

Ma Kai smiled, "She is talking about humans. The orcs will definitely resist, and some of those residents have been living with the orcs for several years, so casualties are inevitable." Ma Kai shook his head in mid-sentence, "It's really complicated. We all said before that the orcs and humans are incompatible, but some of them can get along well with our compatriots. It's really amazing. Why do so many different ethnic groups appear in this world?"

"The goddess feels that if there is only one ethnic group left, they will start fighting among themselves, but if there are many ethnic groups... they will have a unified enemy to maintain their own stability." Alves wrapped his cloak tightly, and there was no doubt that La Princess Tia will keep her vows.But it was wishful thinking to save everyone, as that would often lead to nothing. Now he just wanted to take the people he loved out of the rhodolite city and away from this disaster.

Ma Kai had the same idea and shrugged. "Then, tell me your detailed plan."

"Enter through the main entrance, then sneak into the palace and take out His Majesty, Jimena and the others. At night, we open the city gate and take advantage of the chaos to escape. It's that simple..."

"It's too rough." Ma Kai's expression was displeased, "You don't have the Sword of the Illusion God in your hand now, what about that thing?"

"It was taken away by Ladia," Alves said of the shame.

"It's a normal thing. If I catch you, I won't let you hold that dangerous thing. Your plan has the possibility of being realized. Now it's just nonsense."

Of course Alves understands this, but he can't think of any other way. "Then what should we do? We can't fly over the city wall and then fall from the sky."

"Humans can't fly," Ma Kai emphasized, "but there's no rule that you can't walk underground."

……

On this day, Haka took advantage of the darkness to put on an oversized long cloak. He had to go out before the maid woke up and arrived at the door of Her Royal Highness Beatrice.His body is very strong and the weather is cold.The guards only responded with a salute to the departure of the guard captain. He was exactly the same as usual, with a serious expression. It seemed that he was going to the city to carry out Lady Firmina's orders.Recently, there have been more and more noises in the city, and the orcs and humans, who used to get along well, have become more and more antagonistic.The nobles are still facing their queen, but the idea of ​​​​supporting Her Royal Highness Ladia is gradually emerging among the orcs, commoners, and wealthy businessmen. Many of them do not know that Ladia is already very close to this city, otherwise these guys There must have been a commotion.

The morning air was cold, and Beatrice emerged from Haka's arms.

"Uncle Haka, where are we?"

"In the aristocratic area outside the city, there is a secret passage under the dungeon. This is what Her Royal Highness Crystal told me." Kris has read all the royal family chronicles in the past few years. During this period, she read this message. A tunnel was built in a cell on the lowest floor of the dungeon, connecting it to the ruins of the forest outside the city, to facilitate the escape of the royal family during the war, although it was not used several times.Kings will basically not escape from their capital, but their children need a way to survive, and this is the situation now.

"Are we going to escape?" The little princess shook her long black hair and stared at the orcs with her red eyes.

Haka could only nod, "Yes, Your Highness."

"What about mom?"

"I'll take her out later." He was loyal to the queen and princess and lied for the first time. Chrissy told him that as long as he could take Beatrice away, he would pay any price, and she herself As a king, she must not run away, and she did not want to leave a stain on her father's motto.

Beatrice nodded obediently and retracted her head into the cloak of the orc warrior again.Haka's pace was steady along the way, so as not to make the troubled nobles who were observing the outside through the window in the early morning suspicious. When he came to the prison, he only said to the orc jailer that he wanted to see the prisoner, but the other party said that Fermi had been there recently. Lady Na ordered that no one was allowed to enter. Only then did Haka realize that Fermina had been on guard, and he felt a shiver in his chest.That was Her Royal Highness Beatrice who was nervous.

"Let me in, it's Her Majesty's order," he said.

"I also have orders, Lord Haka." The orc warrior was unyielding, and then put his hand on the scimitar at his waist.

Haka nodded, "If Her Majesty the Queen comes to order you in person, you will suffer a lot."

"At that time, I was willing to accept the punishment." The jailer's expression was indifferent. He knew that Her Majesty the Queen would never come, and now the government belongs to Fermina.

Haka turned around, facing each other with his back, and held the handle of the scimitar with his right hand hidden under the cloak. The next moment he suddenly turned around, and the silver light brought out by the scimitar was like a streak of lightning. Beatrice could only see it for a moment. Then it was back to darkness.

The jailer was stunned, and stopped drawing his knife halfway.The corpses were separated, leaving only a muffled thud behind them.

"What happened?" Her Royal Highness Beatrice in her arms couldn't help but asked curiously.

Hakkar tightly covered his cloak. "It's nothing, Your Highness, I just made him faint." He didn't want Her Highness Beatrice to see him murder.

Going down, there are thieves and fugitives on the first floor, political prisoners and death row prisoners on the second floor, and demi-humans and monsters on the third floor.There were two other jailers, whom Hakkar recognized as Bloodclaw warriors.The two men immediately drew their scimitars, but Haka took his time.

He spoke in the Orcish language, "mama ohugeBeatrice usas tanaturata pat kala (I am taking Her Royal Highness Beatrice out of the city on your Majesty's order) oyamava navatvannaone (Do you have to stop me?)"

"Filminaupades nomaeta (Filmina-sama did not have such instructions.)"

"modayi (idiot!)" his fury turned into words, "oba raejina hofilminata sevaya karanneda! oyagedivuruma amatakada? obepaksapatitvaya penvimataaegedanahis desa baeluvahuya.daen maerennata, hitadesayerudhiraaetoni yanu kumakda! (Are you serving the Queen or Firmina! You guys! Have you forgotten your oath? You once looked at her flames and knelt down to show your loyalty! Now you must die in return, what is the motto of Bloodclaw!)"

"magerudhirayerudhiraya (blood alliance)."

“magerudhirayerudhiraya”

“magerudhirayerudhiraya”

The two men knelt down when they heard this.They repeated the words, put away their machetes and get out of the way.

Haka nodded and ordered. "Go back to the first floor and collect the guard's body, blocking the way for others."

"Yes, my lord. I am loyal with my blood..."

"Elves and goddesses will bless you."

Chapter 493 495. Chivalry——4

As recorded by the royal family, there is indeed a secret door in the deepest prison. Press a brick next to the door and the door will slowly open, and the path leading to the outside of the city will slowly open.The Orcs did not dare to slow down. He just wanted to keep moving forward to reach Gilkern as soon as possible and then return to his original path to serve his master.

"Uncle Haka, where are we going?" Beatrice stuck her head out and asked.

"Go to your father," he answered.

"Father?" The little princess has never seen her father. She has only heard about it from her mother. His name is Fami... and he has the same black hair as herself.

"I've always wondered why my father wasn't here in Rodculosaint."

The orc warrior did not dare to stop, but tried his best to explain what he could while moving forward.

"He has his own difficulties. You will definitely understand when you meet him."

The girl nodded. She only saw her father for the first time when she was four years old. She felt uneasy but also hopeful. "Can you tell me what he is like?"

Haka stopped for a moment, then continued running. "He's like a wolf."

"How terrible..." Beatrice replied.

"No." Haka knew that he was not very good at speaking, but he was very clear about Fami's advantages. "He treats his enemies like a harsh winter, but treats his partners like a hot summer. He is persistent and simple, loyal and trustworthy."

Beatrice has not yet formed a concept in her mind. She feels that this father is a bit scary, but it also makes her feel at ease inexplicably.

"Please hurry up, Uncle Haka, and help me bring my mother out."
