Chris's Faith of Fire

The beast tribe felt that a wedge had been driven into its heart. He paused and replied, "I will follow your orders, Your Highness."

The road was long and winding and very wet. Haka did not dare to relax at all. He was afraid that monsters would suddenly pop out of the passage.His right hand was on the handle of the knife, and his left hand protected Her Royal Highness Beatrice as she continued to move forward. There were two forked roads in the middle, leading to a warehouse and a stone bedroom respectively.There were some rotten grains inside, and it looked like no one had been there for who knows how many years. After eliminating the side road, he kept moving forward close to the wall, not caring about the cobwebs stuck to his head. He could tell that no one had passed this road. He also feels reassured about the road ahead.

When he reached the end of the road, there was no door. Haka raised his head anxiously and saw a wooden skylight with decayed scaffolding next to it.

"Your Highness, you go up first."

Beatrice nodded, and she stepped on the scaffolding. The wooden thing had not collapsed yet, but it would definitely not be able to bear Haka's weight.The skylight was too heavy and she couldn't open it with her own strength, so she had to keep knocking.At this moment, Beatrice suddenly felt that the heavy skylight cover was suddenly removed, and she and Haka saw the dazzling light coming in again.

"Haka?" The voice that spoke was also quite familiar.

"Alves, Ma Kai?" the orc warrior said in surprise.

With the help of the two men, the orc warriors left the cave path, and Ma Kai was very proud.The four of them hid in the woods together and found a piece of wood to rest on.

"God is really helping me. I just thought I found the secret passage by chance, but I didn't expect that even Her Highness Beatrice came out together."

"But our mission is not over yet. We still have to rescue Her Royal Highness Crystal and Jimena." Alves was still worried, and he turned to look at the Orc warriors. "What's the situation now?"

"Your Majesty is still under house arrest. I think it will be difficult for you to break into the inner city. Your Majesty has given me the task of taking the princess to Gilkern to meet Fami."

Only then did Haka and Alves focus on the little princess. She was wearing civilian linen clothes, probably to facilitate her escape, but the noble temperament displayed by her neat black hair and cute face could not be concealed.The little princess was fine seeing Alves, but she was a little scared when she saw Ma Kai... In the past four years, the middle-aged mercenary has not been to Rodculosaint.

"Don't worry, they are all good people and loyal subordinates of Her Majesty Crystal."

With Haka's words, the little princess suddenly felt at ease.

"Thank you, Hakkar," Alves replied, "Then what should we do now? You go to Gilkern and we go to the inner city?"

"Of course, this is your Majesty's order." The beast tribe replied directly.

Ma Kai sat upright listening to his words. After a while, the orc warrior stood up before he spoke.

"Although there are still many things I want to talk to you about, now is not that time."

"That's right, Ladia's army will arrive in front of the city in two days." Alves' words made the orcs sure that he had indeed been captured by Ladia, but now was not the time to worry about it.

"Then, just do your own thing, friends." Haka said calmly, and then picked up the princess again.

"Wait." Ma Kai raised a hand, "I have other plans, let Alves go... You and I go back to the city to save His Majesty and Alves' family."

"This is impossible." The Orcs shook their heads, "This is the mission given to me by His Majesty."

"Do you only have the word mission in your head?" Ma Kai said angrily, "We all just want to achieve the best results, the process is not important." He raised a branch and scratched it on the ground. "Alvis can pass through Mount Feia more easily than you. There are other mercenaries and guards there. You, an orc, can easily be attacked by them, and even the princess will be harmed. Do you understand?"

Haka was speechless.

So Ma Kai continued, "But your identity as an orc is very useful in other places, that is, in this city. If you bring Her Royal Highness Beatrice out during the day, it is not too late."

These words made the Orcs and Alvis look at each other.

"You're right, but..."

"You are now trusted by Ladia. Do you need to open the city gate? Leave this matter to me. You only need to cross Mount Fea to find Noel. He will help you find Fami. I believe that too. There is still a connection between him and Fami."

"I remember their relationship has always been bad." Alves said with a sneer.

"Men are like this. Now they don't fight for women. Nothing can stop them from becoming good brothers."

After saying that, Ma Kai stood up, lifted his pants, and shook his two long swords.

"Are there any problems now? If not, just follow this plan. As for the details of entering the city, Haka and I will discuss it later."

"Wait~" a young voice sounded, it was Beatrice who spoke.

Ma Kai squatted down with a smile, "What's wrong, little princess. Do you have any questions?"

The girl nodded, "Have you ever thought about something?"

"Huh?" Ma Kai asked curiously.

"Maybe my father is also around here? I think if he is really like Uncle Haka said, he will not leave my mother alone."

Chapter 494 496. Ending——1

Ladia Neve Masefield's heart was racing. The closer she got to the royal capital, the faster her heart beat. Even though she was almost certain that the final royal capital was within reach, she still felt uneasy.Will Alves really follow through on his vow?Will Chris surrender easily?What about Fermina, the female leader of the beast tribe?There are still many uncertainties.

The Queen of Holy Swords could not show her panic on her face, not at all. She secretly chanted the names of her late king and her father, and thought about the stories her mother once told her.His grandfather, the first king of the Macefield family, once captured the Kingdom of Fire, Garnet, together with Duke Lylebar. Their heroic deeds spread to every corner of the continent, no matter who mentioned their names. They can only think of the word hero.

Will my name be able to stand alongside theirs in the future?She walked out of the camp at night and saw a phantom with a slender body guiding her.

"Ingrid!" Ladia called. She saw the appearance of the phantom. She should have brilliant blond hair, but now it was so gray that she couldn't see clearly. "Ingrid, wait for me!" the young queen shouted again. She caught up with the phantom's footsteps and walked up and down the hill. The rhodolite city was already in full view.

The towering city wall and the heraldic flag whose meaning her father once told her were hung on the city's head. The city was quiet and decorated with a few lights. The citizens had fallen asleep. They did not look forward to war, but just wanted to live quietly. But Ladia must not allow her sister to continue to rule.

"Did I do something wrong? Ingrid..."

The phantom didn't speak, just shook its head, and then disappeared into the wind.

Ladia wanted to call her name louder again, then she sat up suddenly and found that she was still lying on the bed.Signy, the eldest son of the Leerbar family, was guarding there. His severed hand was now replaced by a wooden hand, and other parts still matched the characteristics of the Leerbar family.Blonde hair, sculpture-like beauty.But he could never compare to his sister Ingrid.

"What happened, Lord Signy?" Ladia sat up and straightened her shirt. During the war, she told her courtiers not to care too much about the difference between men and women. If anything happened, they should report to her quickly even if they were in the bath. .But now she subconsciously bends down when she sits up. Although her belly has not swelled yet, she is still afraid of being seen.

The Duke of New Leerbar saluted and said, "Your Majesty, we met a young man while marching on the forest path. If I remember correctly, he should be Sir Fami who was exiled by Chris before. You were talking to him before. I've seen his face before."

"Oh, this really makes people want to see it." A smile appeared on the corner of Ladia's mouth. She can still recall the hateful self-confidence of that boy. Four years ago, he kept saying that Chris loved him.

Ladia walked out of the tent, and the two knights brought the young man to her.There were two soldiers behind him who raised their spears and pointed them at the young man.

The queen looked down at him proudly and said. "Lift his head, I want to see what this kid looks like."

The knights obeyed Ladia's instructions. They raised the young man's head. He had jet black hair, like midnight... his face was handsome and sharp, his body was slender but strong, and his black eyes were full of anxiety and anger. He was probably She had to go to Rodculo Saint to see Chris, otherwise she wouldn't have looked like this, Ladia thought to herself.

"You have grown up, but I still recognize you at a glance." The Queen of Holy Sword said. "The unruly look in your eyes has not changed at all. You are still the wolf boy and Crystal's loyal dog."

Fami didn't say anything. He knew that he would get nothing by talking fast now.Besides, he had turned back into a human being, and any rash action would only cause the knights' spears to pierce his heart. He could not die. He came here carrying Liuli's life on his back. He hunched over and refused to kneel down no matter how hard the knights tried. His own knees.

"You caught him so easily?" Ladia asked the knight behind Fami.

The knight replied, "No, Your Majesty...he is quite capable of fighting. He injured at least five of us."

"It seems that your strength has become worse. If you were before, you might not be caught so easily." As she said this, Ladia looked at the young man's waist. He still had the magic sword, but there was another one on his back. , both swords have very unique shapes, but the one on the back is full of sacred aura.

Ladia nodded to the knights on both sides, "Get up, Fami. I want to talk to you."

Master Richat almost jumped up when he saw this scene. He wanted to chop off the young man's head immediately, especially after hearing Master Signe say that he was Crystal's servant.But the Queen of Holy Sword's glare made him step back. As the king and commander of this army, no one could question her decision.

After hearing this, the two knights stepped back. They took off the weapons from the young man's back and waist. Ladia did not relax her vigilance, and placed her hand on the dawn star.Fami looked up after noticing her caution.

"You don't have to worry, sister." Fami said, "I'm not here for your life."

"Of course, I have no doubt... You were exiled by Chris, and when you returned to this city again, I can only guess that you did it for her and your children, not for this country. You are a lover, not a knight."

Fami nodded, "I have been deprived of the title of knight long ago, and I have no intention of fighting for it anymore. Let me go, sister, and I will take Chris and my child away and disappear from you."

"You seem to be more mature, but I can't just let you go free." She said, "Chris is the Snatcher, the rebellious king... I want to make her submit to the law. After the trial, the result will naturally be determined by God. And the law says you can't take anyone away."

"She's your sister."

"And I am the king of Garnet. I bear the hope of all humans on this land, not the orcs."

After saying that, she gestured to both sides, and they immediately picked up their weapons again and arrested the young man.

Ladia came close to him, her long silver hair almost touching the boy's cheek, "Although I hate you very much, you have left Chris's kingdom and been deprived of your title by her. I will not convict you. But. Stay here until the end of the war, and tomorrow we will arrive at Lodculosaint, and you will see the whole trial with your own eyes."

She would die and allow herself to see the whole thing, and at the same time Fami would realize that she had lost all her powers and was just a mortal.There was nothing he could do in the face of it all.

"No, no." The young man shook his head and shouted, "Let me go! Let me go!"

Is it all over?

His heart was filled with despair and his hands were locked. Until the end of the war, he could do nothing.

Chapter 495 497. Ending——2

Ma Kai and Haka returned to the royal city through the secret passage. Perhaps their speed was too fast, or perhaps the people in the city had not noticed the disappearance of Her Royal Highness Beatrice.Now the little princess is by Alves' side, and they want him to walk along the path to Mount Fia. No matter where Fami is, Noelle's is the safest place now.Only Rodculosaint is the most dangerous place of war in the entire continent.

Standing at the door were still two warriors from the Bloodclaw clan. They were surprised that Haka had come back. The orc warrior quickly explained that the princess was safe and he had come back to rescue the queen. The two warriors believed his words and Haka was theirs. glory.

It was only in the afternoon when they entered the royal city, and chaos might have begun in the city at this time.

"If we move faster, maybe Firmina won't find out that I took Her Royal Highness Beatrice out," Haka said.

Ma Kai snorted and said, "If she is such a careless woman, I don't think she can take away the royal power from Chris."

Haka remained silent. He had always been a loyal guard and had not participated in the internal fighting between them. If Princess Beatrice's freedom had not been restricted, he might not have been able to see that the person behind the scenes was Philmi. Na.

It's useless to think about it now. It's no longer possible for them to change the outcome of the war. The only thing waiting for them is the invasion of Princess Latia. Alves also told them that the agreed time to open the city gate is tonight. If they don't arrive on time, If they open it, they will attack the city in one fell swoop, and by then the number of casualties will be beyond their control.

"There is no special alert in the city." Ma Kai said, "At this time, I think any city should mobilize militia to prepare for city defense, burn asphalt to prepare hot oil, and blacksmiths should be able to use hammers even in the deepest alleys to make arrows. hear."

He didn't hear anything here. People's footsteps were a little more hurried than usual. Ma Kai had never been to Rodculo Saint several times, and he didn't know that this was Noble Street.However, Haka understands that even the civilian neighborhoods have not made much preparation for the coming war. Most people do not even know that Princess Ladia has arrived in the city. They have long complained about Her Majesty Crystal's rule. If they were known, there would be many People who discriminate against the orcs will open the door for them instead. That might be good, as they don't need to open it themselves.

"The Orcs are not good at defending cities. They have never defended a city." Haka said calmly, "We have long been good at living on the grassland. The sky and the earth are ours. We should not be bound here. Like a lamb raised in captivity.”

"It's good to be kept in captivity. You won't have to worry about food and drink. If things go well, you can find a woman to spend your life in peace." Haka would have scoffed at what Ma Kai said in the past, but after living in the city for four years, he gradually understood the meaning of a comfortable life. benefit.

"You can buy food in the city walls without having to hunt yourself, and there are laws to punish murderers without having to practice martial arts... Although we felt uncomfortable with this kind of life at first, we gradually became unwilling to leave. Ma Kai, I think human beings It’s truly a terrifying creature, and I gradually understood why only humans rule the continent.”

"Who knows." The mercenary shrugged, "The sin of human beings is laziness. Everything they do is to live lazily and comfortably. This is also their biggest motivation. What are you doing for this?"

Haka was stumped by this question. He thought for a while before answering, "We are the elves, the goddess... and the wind and the earth..."

Ma Kai smiled unceremoniously this time, "So you don't live for yourself."

"Yeah... not once..." Haka muttered to himself, his voice so quiet that Ma Kai could hardly hear it.

They walked out of the noble area, and the soldiers patrolling the streets were still circling at their usual pace. Haka was already aware of this.

"Alves' wife... Do Jimena and their children live in the royal city?" the mercenary asked.

"No, Alves moved them into a civilian area two years ago. There is a clothing store on the second street near the west side of the Civic Square. It uses a rare glass display window, which is easy to recognize. "Haka couldn't remember clearly. He had no idea about these things. He thought for a while before adding. "The person who takes care of Alves' wife and children there is a girl named Mel, who is a friend of Her Majesty Chris."

"That's it. It seems they are quite foresighted." Ma Kai said.

"Let's split up." Haka said, "You go find them first and then wait to meet up in front of the dungeon. Be careful not to be discovered by the guards. When the time comes, I will hand over Her Majesty Crystal to you, and you can take them out of here together. A city.”

"Maybe I asked too much, but what about you?" he said.

The orc warrior swallowed his saliva and said, "I open the city gate in the middle of the night. Although I hate this job, someone has to do it... I don't know what's wrong with me now. It becomes difficult to use the knife when killing people, and I also start to care about you. What these people call chivalry."

"I don't usually talk about chivalry." Ma Kai smiled bitterly, "But you are becoming more and more human."

Coming to the second street in the west area of ​​Citizen Square, it is indeed as Haka said, it is so recognizable... Such a transparent and flat glass window must cost a lot of money, and it will be difficult to operate here without the support of the royal family.But in that case, why put the store in a civilian area?Obviously the noble district in the north is better, and there is no need to worry about any thieves. There are guards patrolling everywhere.

After looking at it for a while, Ma Kai turned his attention to the store door. Two guards were knocking on the door.He hid his body behind the wall, and then came out a blond girl, about 20 years old, like a half-opened flower bud.The two guards didn't look too good when they saw such a cute girl.

"Is it Miss Mel?"

"Yes, what's the point? We usually only sell women's clothes here." The girl responded politely, also expressing her unwelcoming attitude.

"We are not here to buy clothes. There is a fairy girl and her child. Lady Firmina wants them."

Speaking of this, Mel's brows frowned. "There's no such thing as fairy girls. Why are you coming to the clothing store if you don't want to buy clothes? This place is funded by Her Majesty Crystal!"

"Haha, if it had nothing to do with His Majesty, we wouldn't be here." The orc soldier spread his hands and refused to back down. Instead, he pointed at the girl with his finger, "Hurry up and hand them over. I don't want to waste time. I know they are here." this."

"I told you that there are no fairy girls here. Are you crazy about women? Where did the fairy girls come from? If you don't believe me, just search them."

The guards looked at each other in shock when they saw her being so calm. They didn't refuse and went straight in.

Miss Meier finally added. "You can search, but if you break something, please pay for it according to the price! There are a few clothes inside, but you can't afford them even with a few months' salary!"

This girl was more powerful than he thought. Ma Kai waited quietly for a moment or two before the two soldiers ran out angrily, swearing. "We are still a step too late, those two people ran away!"

"Sama Fermina will be angry." They complained and left.

Ma Kai turned around and left, turning into West Street in the opposite direction. Just when Mel was about to go back to the store, he patted her on the shoulder.

"Ah!" The girl jumped up in fright, "What's going on? Who are you?"

"Don't be nervous, my name is Ma Kai." He thought for a moment and then added, "Ma Kai Amanda Yin Blaize, this is the gem name given to me by His Majesty, and I am Alves' master."

"Ma Kai? Mr. Alves has mentioned it before, and everyone knows that he was the hero in the Demon King's War." Mel was doubtful. "How do you prove yourself?"

The mercenary knight was a little impatient, "I would have brought Haka with me before the Half-Saint Moment, but now that he is going to save His Majesty, I never pretend to be anyone... These two swords are the identity of Ma Kai." Symbol.”

As he said that, he handed over the sword given to him by the late king. Although Mel was not a warrior, the moment she touched the sword, she felt the weight of the sword. This was not something that ordinary people could afford, but the warrior in front of her actually She also wears two and uses two two-handed swords, which Alvis told her.Mel didn't have any more doubts. She looked around to make sure there was no spy, then brought Haka to her store and locked the door.

Ma Kai looked around. The clothes that were put up filled his field of vision. The floor he stepped on was smooth and translucent. It could be seen that it was often waxed, but the footprints of the two soldiers just left on it were extremely dazzling.

"It's a nice shop. They wax the floors. There shouldn't be many customers here."

"The guests who come to my place are all elegant, but today three rude men came here in one day." She responded without mercy.
