"Head-On?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned when he saw Romeriger rushing towards him. The assassin's assassination was too unskillful. He actually chose to attack head-on? What was the success rate? Li Huailin didn't move an inch from his seat as he watched Romeriger rush towards him.
After taking a few steps, Romeriger suddenly paused and looked up at Li Huailin. He suddenly pulled out the spear on his back and threw it at Li Huailin.
"Your Highness!" Legg immediately shouted, but it was too late to do anything. The opponent's movements were too fast, and he couldn't react at all. Legg subconsciously moved in front of Li Huailin to protect Li Huailin's body.
However, things were completely different from what Legg had imagined. The spear that Romeriger threw was not thrown at Li Huailin, but at the top of the carriage where Li Huailin was sitting. Li Huailin heard a scream above his head, and then a man in black fell directly in front of Li Huailin.
"Protect His Highness the King!" Romeriger suddenly shouted. As he spoke, he pulled out his sword and began to guard Li Huailin.
"Oh?" Li Huailin smiled slightly. "Are you actually here to help?"
Li Huailin opened the window and looked outside. The people on the street were running and hiding. The Royal Knights were fighting with several men in black. However, just as Li Huailin had estimated, there weren't many men in black. As they fought, they were about to be wiped out.
"Go!" Suddenly, a man in black shouted. In an instant, the remaining men in black received the order and began to retreat.
"Don't chase!" The deputy captain of the Royal Knights, Edra, raised his hand and said, "It may be a trap. Our mission is to protect His Highness and inform the city guards to search for the fugitive."
"Yes!" The knight next to him immediately replied.
After checking that there were no enemies, Edra slowly walked to the front of Li Huailin's carriage and reported, "Reporting to His Highness, there were about 25 assassins who attacked. 14 people were killed on the scene, and 11 escaped. Three of our people were injured, but no one was killed."
"Oh, that's good. No one was killed." Li Huailin nodded, then pointed to Romeriger. "What's the matter with him?"
Of course, Eddra also noticed Romeriger. However, he had helped them kill two Assassins in the battle just now. Judging from his attire, he seemed to be a Knight. Eddra asked, "Thank you for your help, warrior. May I know which family you are from?"
"Greetings, Your Highness. I am Romeriger from the Lunsard Family. I happened to pass by here, and I did not expect to encounter evil people who dared to attack Your Highness. So, I helped you. Please forgive me for disturbing Your Highness." Romeriger placed one hand on his chest, knelt on one knee, and answered in a knight's salute.
"Oh … Romeriger, right?" Li Huailin smiled and said to Edra, "The Lunsard Family? I remember it's that famous family of knights, right? "
"Yes, His Highness." Edra nodded and answered. Then, he said to Romeriger, "This His Highness is not King Anthony. You have mistaken him for someone else."
"Eh?" Romeriger was obviously stunned. He then looked at Li Huailin in surprise. "Then, who is this His Highness?"
"This is the Duke of Aquitaine of the Nasser Empire, Lord Ruolin," Edra introduced.
"The Million Duke Ruolin?" Romeriger was shocked, and he looked at Li Huailin in surprise.
"How dare you call His Highness by his name!" Legg immediately shouted.
"Please forgive me, His Highness." Romeriger knew that he had lost his tongue, so he quickly said, "I was just too surprised, but I don't know why His Highness …"
"His Highness is unwell, so he cannot participate in the competition. So, he asked the Duke of Aquitaine to watch the competition on his behalf, and he lent his carriage to the Duke of Aquitaine." Edra, who was next to him, naturally knew what Romeriger was confused about, so he immediately explained.
"I see …" Romeriger nodded in surprise, and then said, "My apologies, His Highness. I lost my composure. Please forgive me."
"Oh, it's okay." Li Huailin waved his hand casually, and then carefully looked at Romeriger. This guy was probably only a few years older than Li Huailin. He was very young, had blond hair, and looked very handsome. He was probably one of those European hunks in the movies. He was wearing a full set of knight armor. His body was not very strong, but he seemed to be quite good at fighting. Of course, the most important thing was that the name above his head was red, which meant that he was on the opposing side. It seemed that Li Huailin had guessed correctly that he was on the rebel army's side.
Li Huailin pretended that he did not see the red name, and asked calmly, "It seems that you are also a knight. If you are going this way, are you going to participate in the Knight Competition?"
"Yes, His Highness. However, I have yet to serve a lord. To be precise, I am not a knight, but a mercenary," Romeriger replied. "But becoming a true knight is my lifelong goal. I'm also here to find a great monarch worthy of my loyalty." Romeriger nodded, "But becoming a true knight is my lifelong goal.
"Oh?" Li Huailin smiled slightly because according to the following rhythm, since the other party had already said so, in addition to the fact that he had just helped him repel the assassin, it was only logical that he would accept him. Could it be that this was the other party's plan? Li Huailin did not take the initiative to answer. He just waved his hand slightly. "Since it is on the way, then follow us."
"Huh?" Romeriger was slightly stunned, and then nodded. "Yes, His Highness."
"Edra, let's continue," Li Huailin said, waving his hand.
"His Highness, we have been attacked by the assassins. Are we still going to the Knight Competition?" Edra asked. "There are still eleven people who have escaped. I am afraid that we will be in danger later."
"Damn it, you brought more than a hundred people with you and told me that we will be in danger. Try saying that again?" Li Huailin immediately said.
"Sorry, His Highness!" He then immediately shouted to the people behind him, "Keep moving. Be careful."
Soon, the carriage began to move again. Li Huailin looked at Romeriger and found that he was still following behind them.
"His Highness, he is our target, right?" Legg immediately said, "The assassination just now was too strange. The other party only had so few people, yet they dared to attack our hundreds of Royal Knights. The success rate is too low. Even an idiot would not make such an assassination plan. I think this may be a self-directed play by Romeriger to get close to His Royal Highness who was originally sitting in this carriage."
"Hmm, very good. Go on." Li Huailin nodded in agreement with Legg's words.
"The other party wanted to get close to His Royal Highness, and even directly become His Royal Highness's knight to facilitate his actions. However, he did not expect that the person sitting in this carriage was not His Royal Highness, but His Highness. In this case, I think he is worried about what to do now," Legg said with a smile.
"So what do you think he should do?" Li Huailin asked.
"If it were me, I would choose to make the best of a mistake," Legg immediately said. "My Lord, I think it is very likely that the other party will change the target of the assassination to you, because to the entire empire, you are more important than His Royal Highness. In fact, even if the other party succeeds in assassinating His Royal Highness, will they be able to restore the country? I don't think so. If you are here, it will not be so easy for the other party to restore the country. If you are not here, then His Royal Highness will lose an arm. So if I were him, I would change the target. "
"That makes sense." After saying that, Li Huailin directly knocked on the front door of the carriage. After a while, the front door opened, and Li Huailin's number one thug, Bruno, opened the door and walked into the carriage, leaving the task of driving to the co-driver next to him.
"What is it, my Lord?" Bruno asked.
"The person just now, the one called Romeriger, how strong is he?" Li Huailin asked.
"Oh, that person." Bruno nodded. "He definitely did not use his full strength to deal with a few petty thieves, but from his performance just now, I can see that the other party's basic skills are very solid. He should be an expert."
"An expert? How strong is he? How does he compare to you? "Li Huailin asked.
"I've never fought him before, so I don't really know. However, when he ran over just now, I locked all my Qi on him, but he wasn't affected at all. He could even kill an assassin. In this case, he's either someone who doesn't know martial arts at all, or his strength is on par with mine. I think he's definitely the latter." Bruno replied, "My Lord, I think this person is not bad. Why don't we let him join us?"
"Nonsense!" Legg immediately said. "He is an assassin, do you understand, idiot? He is someone who is going to assassinate His Lordship."
"What?" Bruno, who was completely unaware of this, looked surprised.
"My Lord, why don't we take him down now? As long as we bring him back and interrogate him, I think we will soon be able to get the whole story out of him," Legg said.
"You … He has planned this for a long time. We have to let him finish his performance, right?" Li Huailin said. "Besides, I am also quite interested in this Romeriger. Who knows, he might really become your colleague."
"Huh?" Legg was stunned.
