"Your Highness, do you want to catch up?" Herod had already led a large force of 5,000 people to the battlefield.
"Didn't you see that my sister didn't say a word to me? If she catches up with her, why would she fight me to the death?" Ayton said with a smile, "Looking at her like this, she is determined to protect the time and space mage. By the way, I kept forgetting to ask, what is the origin of that young man?"
"That is Lord Philip's child, Alwin Philip," answered Herod.
"Oh." Ayton nodded, "Then if he knew that I killed his father with a halberd, wouldn't he come to me for revenge?"
"His Royal Highness's flying halberd will probably destroy one of his hands." Herod also laughed.
"It's just a broken palm. For a magician like him, it doesn't matter much." Ayton said.
"The prince gave instructions when we came here. If we cannot catch the princess, we must rush directly to Salyuhi to stabilize the situation in the royal capital." Herod said and glanced at Ayton.
"That's the truth. Let's go to Wind Iron Castle." Ayton said, "My sister probably just wants to protect that Alvin. She doesn't care about the princess."
Herod nodded.
Ayton glanced at the stumbling mercenaries and found that the leaders had already run away. In fact, he didn't even think about killing people like Xia Ye and Lang Yun. Maybe he was surprised by the loyal behavior of these people to protect their master, or maybe he could tell from the formation of dozens of people that Xia Ye and Lang Yun were talented people, and it would be a pity to kill them.
"What do you think this is?" Ayton pulled off a green scale from the body of a Quartet mercenary. This mercenary was knocked unconscious by Lan Yu's red light whip, but according to Ayton's point of view, this man should have been cut in two.
Herod came over to look at the armor scales in Ayton's hand. He couldn't tell what was going on and then took it from Ayton's hand and looked at it carefully. "It should be from some kind of monster in the mountains. Judging from the color and shape, it might be from some kind of monster." From a species of lizard.”
"Haha, this group of people is quite courageous. They dare to run into the mountains to hunt monsters." Ayton praised, then looked south and smiled: "Especially that Alvin, he really gave me a lot of surprises. . No wonder Lan Yu is particularly fond of him."
Herod squinted his eyes and looked south, thinking of Alvin, the time and space mage, and curled his lips slightly.
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------
Onian felt the body temperature behind her and the raindrops dripping from his chin, sliding down her jade neck, causing her to shiver. Being hit by his heavy breath, it seemed that there was a sense of peace of mind, even if he was in a panic and running for his life.
For some reason, she suddenly felt a little tired. Not only was she physically tired, but she was also tired and unsure about the uncertain future ahead. The unbearable scenes on the plain battlefield came to her mind again. She was so tired that she no longer had the energy to hate. At this moment, she just wanted to rest in this man's arms for a while, and she even had the thought of giving up on herself, "If God wants me to die with this fool now, I will be willing to do so."
"If I had known better, I wouldn't have coveted this half-day journey and walked from Fevoni Mountains to Wind Iron Castle." Alvin complained with a trembling voice.
"Are you a fool, you always want to stand in front of me?" Onian complained softly. She was no longer indifferent now. She suddenly picked up Alvin's injured right hand and applied an ice crystal on it. She knew that this kind of magic could only suppress the pain for a short period of time, and she had to find a way to get some magic potions.
Alvin looked at her gentle appearance and thought of the great care she took for him at the Pillow Sword Club. It seems that this war has brought too much to her, and it has tortured her so much that her temperament has changed a lot.
"What? Did you just want to fight with them?" Alvin raised the corner of his mouth. Now that his hand doesn't hurt so much, he can now think about joking.
"Here we go again, can you be serious? I really don't know what you are thinking. Didn't you see that there is someone chasing you? Do you really think you have a few more lives than others?" O'Nian'an Not in a good mood.
"Then what can I do? I can't use any magic power now, and it's quite annoying for you to look at me. Since I'm dead anyway, why should I be sad?" Alvin said helplessly.
"Why do I feel that the witch chasing you won't be ruthless enough to kill you?" Onian mocked.
"You didn't see the way she looked when she used the 'Spell of Evil Flame Black Dragon'. She showed no mercy at all." Alvin said lightly.
"I think she was annoyed by you protecting me?" Onian turned her head and looked at him with interest.
"I don't know." Alvin was concentrating on driving the horse and did not dare to accept the smile on her lips.
O'Ni'an knew that he was capable of pretending to be stupid, or else he would just talk about other things, and feel angry in his heart, so he said coldly: "Then I just want to ask you today, there are not so many ways to have the best of both worlds in the world. She and I can only choose one, you can answer me after you think about it."
Alvin was complaining in his heart, "It was fine two sentences ago, so why... Hey, a woman's face is really unpredictable."
"Do we have to discuss this issue now? Please note that we are still being hunted by others?" Alvin replied with a calm expression. But this move didn't work on Onian at all, and instead made her even more angry.
"If you choose her, get off your horse as soon as possible. You won't have to suffer with me. There will be no need for you to pretend to block my gun and sword in the future." Onian grabbed the reins from Alvin's hand.
"Yeah, I also want to know who you are going to choose today. You little bastard?" One rider has already chased the two of them.
"Look at this, does this white-haired fox not accept your favor? Why are you doing this?" Lan Yu laughed at Alvin.
"So what if I don't appreciate it? Is it possible that I want to accept the favor of a red-haired witch like you?" O'Nian raised Alvin's injured palm and showed Lan Yu the horrific wound, "Or, I have more Let me remind you, what does 'the revenge of killing my father is irreconcilable'?"
Lan Yu's face suddenly darkened. She watched with her own eyes how Alvin's father was knocked down by her eldest brother.
Alvin naturally caught a glimpse of Lan Yu's expression. What he had already confirmed in his heart was now confirmed again, and his already sinking mood was stirred up again.
Alvin was lost for a moment and couldn't say a word.
One of the great misfortunes in life is to spend your youth trapped in hatred.
But facing the red-haired woman in front of him, he couldn't feel that much hatred. But even so, he couldn't pretend that nothing had happened.
While Alvin was in a daze, Onian and Lan Yu had already taken action.
The cold rain stirs up the residual smoke, and the thunder and fire on the horizontal sleeves cool the pretty face.
Onian's staff waved, and thunder fell from the clouds. Lan You looked at it with cold eyes, not paying attention, and just put her whole body into the fire.
The thunderbolts struck the raging fire wantonly, but could not break through even a single inch.
Alvin looked at the thunder and fire, knowing that he could no longer stop these two people at this time. In confusion and helplessness, he didn't know what to do.
If it were normal times, he would definitely be very energetic and would not miss any detail. After all, it is to watch two beauties fighting like this, one with snowy hair, the other with red hair dancing lightly, with flowing clothes, and the sudden appearance of spring, accompanied by the mist and rain, it is a pleasure to watch no matter how you look at it. But now he really isn't in that mood.
Lan Yu looked at the dense light and electricity outside the raging fire and smiled contemptuously. A fire dragon covered in flames immediately spurted out from the flames.
Seeing that those thunders could not stop the unstoppable fire dragon at all, as soon as Onian's staff fell, the surrounding wall of light overflowed and protected him.
The fire dragon slammed into the ring wall without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, the white light on the ring light wall dimmed. The fire dragon took advantage of the situation and broke through the ring wall, heading straight for O'Nian.
"You still want to use this trick?" Lan Yu sneered. She had already seen that Onian's magic power was severely depleted, and running magic such as the ring light wall was just a show, and could not absorb much magic energy. Therefore, she injected 70% to 80% of the magic power into this fire dragon, making sure to hit it with one blow and not give Onian any chance to fight back.
The fire dragon bumped into Onian's chest, but it did not cause any harm to her. Looking closely, what the fire dragon hit was just a phantom of Onian.
Then a "Bang!" was heard, and a beautifully made sunset stone necklace exploded in the air.
The reason was that before the fire dragon attacked Onian, Alvin threw the necklace he was carrying in front of Onian. The Shadow Stone absorbed Onian's magic power, driven by runes, and triggered the illusion, so the fire dragon only hit the illusion. But because the magic energy contained in Lan Yu's magic was too powerful, it directly smashed the sunset stone on the necklace to pieces.
Alvin stared at the necklace that Lao Fei left for him turned into pieces. He thought to himself: "If Lao Fei knew that I saved the princess with the necklace he gave me, he would probably sigh that he didn't give it to me in vain. That’s it.”
While seeing things and thinking about people, he also thought of Lao Fei's words, "When it comes to the game of life and death, any help is good."
"It's better to listen to the old man's words. But if the people are gone, what's the point of talking about it?" Alvin sighed in his heart.
"Why, your highness the princess can't live without this man?" Lan Yu glanced at the shattered necklace, then looked at Onian and sneered.
"Is there anything wrong? Or are you feeling angry because you haven't seen him save you?" Onian said with a chuckle. After escaping the disaster, the princess's breath was not disturbed, and she did not lose at all in the verbal dispute. There was no disadvantage in worrying about magic power.
Just when Alvin was thinking about which of the two of her could make the other angry to death, Xia Ye, Lang Yun and others finally arrived.
Alvin glanced at the dark and indistinguishable rain curtain and found that there were only a dozen riders left. However, under this kind of weather, Qiao Zhi's unicorn was still bright and shiny, and he couldn't help but sigh that the divine horse was the divine horse.
However, bad news soon followed. On the provincial road to the south, a large number of people came to kill them.
The princess and her group instantly fell into a dangerous situation where they were intercepted in front and pursued by soldiers behind.
