"Hyah! Hyah! "
The horses galloping in the snow kicked up a cloud of white dust. The rider on the horse looked panicked and looked back from time to time, as if something terrible was chasing them.
Suddenly, a horse behind him whinnied and then fell to the ground. The person on the horse rolled a few times, and blue flames suddenly appeared in his eyes. He quickly got up from the ground.
The leader of the golden-armored riders saw this terrible scene. For a corpse to turn into an evil spirit so quickly, it meant that there was an extremely powerful evil spirit around.
Just as he turned back to look at the road ahead, a figure appeared in front of them. He looked like a withered tree on the side of the road, but this thin figure had an invisible power that made people's hearts beat faster.
"Whoosh!"
He yelled and pulled the reins hard to stop the horses. The dozen or so knights behind him also stopped immediately. They looked nervously at the figure in front of them, not daring to blink.
The other party slowly raised his head, his white beard moving in the wind, and his red flame eyes quietly looked at them.
The leader of the riders took a deep breath, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells.
"Anmihu!!! Disperse!!! "
However, before he could finish his sentence, a blood-red arc of light flew past. A thin blood mark appeared on everyone's neck. Then, the horses fled in fright. They fell from the backs of the horses, their heads separated from their bodies.
On the snowy ground, the golden-armored horseman's eyes were wide open, his body twitching. His blood-stained hand was tightly clutching a piece of parchment. In his pupils, a figure was reflected. The other party had raised his sword and mercilessly stabbed at him.
…
Prince Gene paced back and forth in the room. The minister beside him lowered his head, afraid that the prince would vent all his anger on him.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside. The prince immediately raised his head, frowning. He quickly ran to the window and looked outside.
The high fences were filled with people. A group of cavalrymen entered the city through the newly opened gates. The surrounding civilians cheered as if they were welcoming their saviors. The cavalrymen also had this kind of glory on their faces. They kept waving at the crowd as if they had accomplished something great.
"They're back!"
The prince could not help but express his excitement on his face. He excitedly put on the exaggerated red robe, obviously wanting to go out.
"Your Highness, please wait here for a moment. I believe your subordinates will report to you as soon as possible."
General Gilbert stepped forward and said. In fact, they were in a meeting. They were discussing how to evacuate the Pirate Bay if there was no news from the scouts they sent out earlier.
Most of the ministers thought that it was best to leave by ship immediately and take refuge in the archipelago. Prince Hilaire had already evacuated to the archipelago and built a magic research tower on the Evil Spirits with the magic group. As long as they could know the weakness of the Evil Spirits, they would have hope to fight back.
However, Prince Zeon did not like this plan. Rather than disliking the plan itself, it was more accurate to say that he did not like his younger brother who thought he was clever. Eliard gave people a very intelligent feeling, and Gene felt that he had been eyeing his throne covetously.
"No, I want to greet them personally and boast about these heroes in front of everyone. This is what they deserve."
Zeon said excitedly. He had already opened the door. General Gilbert sighed softly and could only follow. The ministers were also forced to leave their positions and go down from the tower that they had climbed up with great difficulty.
"His Highness the Prince has arrived!"
The attendant shouted loudly. The residents of the Pirate Bay could hear it more than a dozen times a day.
They saw the prince stepping on the muddy road. The soldiers pushed away the civilians who were blocking the road. The knights on horseback hurriedly dismounted and then knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Your Highness the Prince! We bring good news! "
The leader of the knights said. He was very young and was a captain of the knights. It seemed that this mission made him very proud.
"Very good! Quickly get up. Which team are you from? "
Zeon said with a smile. The other party had a smile on his face, but attentive people could see that he was frowning slightly.
The prince actually did not remember his team. The knights still remembered that when they left, the prince blessed them one by one and said goodbye to them. The look in his eyes was as if he was treating his own brothers.
But now he did not remember. It had only been less than seven days.
"Your Highness! We are the fourth team of the southern troops. "
"The fourth team? What about the other teams? "
Zeon asked. This question made the knight hesitate for a moment. He then lowered his head and said, "On the way back, we did not find any traces of the other teams."
"Well, you are the first team to return. What news is there from the south?"
"Reporting to Your Highness the Prince! We went all the way south from Dragon Mountain to Sand City. We did not see any traces of evil spirits. We arrived at a small city, and the people there did not even know about the evil spirit army. "
Sand City, desert people, bronze-skinned hot beauties, and many rare desert fruits. Zeon could not help but smile when he thought of this.
The knight felt strange, but did not dare to say anything. He only heard General Gilbert ask, "Did you go to Sand City to meet Marquis Buref?"
Hearing this, the knight lowered his head and said, "Reporting to General, we did not reach Sand City. The desert terrain is difficult to travel on, and we could not travel far by horse. After hearing from the desert people that Sand City had not fallen, I gave the order to turn back."
Gilbert had guessed that this would be the case. It was impossible to travel back in seven days. Just as he was about to scold the knight, Prince Zeon said, "You did well. It is enough to know that Sand City has not fallen. Was the journey safe?"
"We did not see any traces of evil spirits."
"Very good! We should immediately prepare to go to Sand City! "
"But Your Highness, we still do not know the marquis' attitude."
Gilbert hurriedly said.
"He is only a marquis, and I am a prince of the empire. I will become king in the near future. They have no reason not to welcome me. And I heard that Marquis Buref has three daughters. At most, I will marry one. "
After Prince Zeon finished speaking, he took a deep breath and pulled out the sword in his hand. Using the tone he had practiced countless times, he said, "Kneel. I will now bestow upon you the reward you deserve for your contributions."
Hearing this, the knight knelt on the ground.
"What is your name?"
"David, son of Darwyn!"
"Good! David, son of Darwyn! I will give each of you a reward of thirty thousand, a hundred fields, and promotion to viscount. David, you have performed well. I will appoint you as an honorary general! "
Hearing this, General Gilbert was shocked. He had actually promoted such a young nobleman to be an honorary general!
Not only him, but many of the ministers behind him were also shocked.
