...
White thought he was done for when the grey bird came whistling down the hill.
The only thought left in his mind was that he would not have come so far to save people if he had known this would happen!
It was all the fault of those damned sailors!
If they were not jealous of the income of a coachman and joined the transport army, he would not have taken the risk to enter the inland of the Kingdom of Wolfheart.
He just wanted to earn more silver royals in the fierce competition!
He did not expect to encounter a real demon on his third trip.
Besides, it was not enough to deal with the demons. As long as he could outrun the other migrants, he might be able to survive. However, the appearance of the strange bird in the sky had destroyed his last hope.
Two legs could not outrun a pair of wings, not to mention he only had one.
"God!" White held his head with his hands and knelt on the ground. "Since I'm your devout believer, please let me go to the Holy Kingdom that you built after my death. It's best if there's an endless supply of gold royals …"
However, the strange bird did not tear him into pieces. Instead, it made a series of very familiar sounds.
He had heard a similar "neigh" in the Sedimentation Bay. When the weapons of Graycastle opened fire, the continuous whistling would resound throughout the battlefield. The last time, the whistling sound only lasted for less than half an hour before the seemingly invincible guards of the Tusk and Redstone Gate families were completely annihilated.
Could it be that... the people of Graycastle had come to save him?
White raised his head cautiously and saw a scene that he could never imagine in his life.
A silver whip of light burst out from the head of the strange bird. The whip seemed to have its own consciousness as it went back and forth among the demons behind it. Wherever it pointed, the snowy ground seemed to boil, and the demons fell in response. It was as if the flickering light contained boundless power.
Such a marvelous scene left him dumbfounded.
But what made Warter even more excited was that the demons were obviously stunned by this sudden turn of events. Not only did they stop chasing, but they also showed signs of dispersing after their counterattack failed.
"Mr. White, what, what was that?" some refugees around him asked in a trembling voice.
He subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
White pinched his thigh hard and forced himself to stand up. He opened his hands to the frightened refugees and shouted in an off-key tone, "Don't be afraid. This is the Graycastle Escort Army that I mentioned before! I was the one who summoned them! "
"People from Graycastle?" the refugees asked in disbelief. "From the sky?"
"That's right!"
"You mean … we're saved?"
"That's the case for now. However, this kind of escort isn't free. In fact, it's quite expensive! My savings are limited, and I don't know when they will leave — "
Before White could finish his words, he was interrupted by the excited crowd. "Don't let them go! I'm willing to pay double the toll! "
"I'll add two silver royals!"
"As long as I can reach the Sedimentation Bay safely, I will give you this golden ring!"
"And me …"
In the face of life and death, fear caused them to explode with astonishing mobility. The crowd that was so hopeless that they couldn't move a moment ago surged again.
"I'll tell the people from Graycastle. Now, come with me. Uh, my legs aren't very good. Can someone carry me?"
"Let me do it!" Soon, a tall man carried him on his back.
In this way, he did not have to worry about being left behind during the escape.
If everything went well, he might even be able to get the broken carriage back.
As for deceiving the refugees … the most important thing now was to help them get out of danger.
"Don't panic. Keep your eyes open and pay attention to the footprints left by others. Don't roll down the hill!" White instructed the man to run down the hill.
…
Good chased after the demon and fired at it for a while before he noticed that something was wrong.
The flying team seemed to be short of a plane.
Although the enemies were defenseless, it wasn't easy for them to annihilate the thirty to forty demons. Apart from the weather, their firepower was too sparse, and it wasn't even as concentrated as when they were shooting live targets.
He pulled up the plane and counted silently. He broke out in a cold sweat.
Of the four planes, only Princess Royal's "Unicorn" was missing!
Apart from carrying only one person, her plane was basically the same as the "Fire of Heaven". It was not surprising that she had been neglected during the snowstorm. But now was not the time to reason. She was His Majesty's sister. If anything happened to her, they would have to bear the consequences.
Before Good could inform Finkin, three green light spots appeared in the northern sky.
That was the signal of the enemy!
But … weren't the enemy here?
Good's heart suddenly tightened. He immediately abandoned the half-dead targets and rushed toward the signal flare.
"Hey, wait, where are you going? You'll be court-martialed if you desert! "Finkin, who was shooting wildly, was still in a daze.
"Don't be silly," Good said anxiously. "Didn't you notice that Her Highness didn't follow us?"
Finkin turned around and gasped in shock.
Obviously, he had also seen the three light spots slowly descending.
Fortunately, they had considered the inconvenience of communication during the search, so the planes were not far apart. In less than a quarter of an hour, Good arrived at the location of the signal flare.
He then breathed a sigh of relief.
Not far away, the biplane that was diving and strafing the ground was the "Unicorn".
Her Highness was attacking a group of demons hiding in the low woods. Judging from the number of demons, they were probably more than the troops chasing after the refugees.
Why were there two demon troops in this area?
Why was the one chasing after the refugees had fewer people?
Good was puzzled for a moment. But before he had time to think, Finkin, who was sitting in the back seat, shouted excitedly, "There are more enemies here! Hurry up and follow Her Highness. I can't wait to pull the trigger! "
The other two "Fire of Heaven" also followed.
Well, Good put this doubt to the back of his mind. After all, the Mad Demons could not fight back. The previous enemy troop had completely lost the ability to fight, so they might be able to win more battles with this one.
However, as soon as this thought came to his mind, a group of Devilbeasts flew out of the woods. They howled and soared into the sky, pouncing on the "Unicorn" from all directions!
Although it was the first time that Good had seen the "imaginary enemies" of the Aerial Knight, he could still see the images of these monsters in the picture book at first glance.
Good instantly felt the blood in his body freeze.
There were at least a dozen Devilbeasts.
The distance between the two sides was only 400 or 500 meters. It was impossible to abandon Her Highness, so how could they win?
Countless ideas rushed into his mind, but they were rejected one by one. It felt like a long time, but also like a short moment. Before he could find the best answer, Tilly reacted first.
The "Unicorn" abruptly pulled up, turned around, and flew directly to the east. At the same time, a red signal flare was fired, illuminating everyone's eyes.
That was the signal to retreat!
Good then stepped on the gas pedal to the maximum and followed the "Unicorn", speeding to the east.
The biplane's advantage in speed was evident at this moment.
