She Is Not a Witch Chapter 232: Last screen

The wind gradually died down, and when it was dawn, a layer of fluffy snow had piled up above the gap where the three of them curled up to rest, and the firewood in the middle had also been extinguished, only a little white ash and a charred half of the firewood.

Lighted the remaining firewood again, warmed the lower body, and warmed the clothes and shoes, and then the three left here.

After the snow stopped, the sky was much brighter. The sun shone on the snow-white ground, which was very dazzling, but not warm.

The guard held a wooden branch and swept away the snow in front of him to see if he could settle down, and then the three of them walked slowly through the mountain road.

Compared to yesterday's snowstorm, today's journey seems to be much easier, and at noon, the sun also provides a little warmth.

A little melted snow flows over the rocks and gathers in the gaps to form a water flow. At this time, you can see a little grass hidden under the snow, which also makes the too monotonous world a little bit more vibrant.

Lily's breathing was a little heavy, and she felt that the right hand holding Hals was also very sore and heavy. At this moment, she had to stop and was about to change the other hand.

But perhaps because of the accumulation of fatigue for several days, and not eating much, a sudden sense of dizziness surged up, making her feel a little dazed for a while, and her body fell to one side unconsciously, rolling down the snow covered hillside.

The world shook violently, and for a moment she couldn't distinguish between the sky and the earth. Various pains came from all over her body, and her heart gradually sank to the bottom of the lake, feeling that she was falling into a bottomless abyss.

Fortunately, I let go of Hells just now, as long as he can survive, if I don't have myself, the guard should be able to walk faster with Heles. The last thought flashed through her mind, and she also lost consciousness.

——————

It seems that a long time has passed, and when Lily woke up again, it was already dark.

She felt something lying on her chest, and there was a faint cry.

At this time, Lily sat up slowly, only to realize that it was Hells in her arms. Although he was only about three years old, and he couldn't even speak clearly now, he still knew her mother. Looking at Lily Never woke up, the child was very scared.

Although he comes from a noble background, for him, his mother is everything in the world.

"Your Majesty is awake." By the dim bonfire, the imperial guard was also there, but compared to yesterday, today he is also a bit embarrassed, his body is wet with white smoke, his eyes are tired, it seems that he is seriously deprived of sleep look like.

"How long have I been asleep."

"One day and one night."

"Where is this now?"

"Central part of Crocodile Tooth Ridge."

"How far have we come since then?"

"It's only about 10 kilometers."

Hearing this, Lily felt guilty and regretful, if only she could be stronger then.

"Fortunately, it's snowing again today. The traces on our road should be buried by snowflakes, and we didn't take the normal road. The enemy will not be able to catch up with us for a while." The guard enlightened Lily.

"That's the only way to go." Lily nodded silently, and then comforted Hers.

On the other side, also in the 'Crocodile Tooth Ridge', Darcy took a few high-ranking non-commissioned officers of Sequence 6, and quickly shuttled between the mountains, even at night.

Before departure, they have already applied for the 'Night Wolf Potion' from the military. After drinking this potion, it can maintain the night vision ability for one night. It is a necessary material for some special missions. , that is, there will be reflections at the bottom of the eyes, which are easy to be noticed by the enemy.

But at this moment, what they want to hunt down is just a pair of weak mother and son, so naturally they don't need to care about whether they are discovered.

At midnight, these people finally stopped temporarily and gathered together again.

"My lord, no trace was found." Several senior non-commissioned officers replied.

Darcy nodded silently, and then looked at the boundless rocks and snow below the mountain.

According to his estimate of Lily's escape speed, the other party should be near this area, but unfortunately, he didn't find anything.

Perhaps this is also a common problem of outstanding people. They tend to overestimate their opponents, thinking that this is something that they will notice and think of for granted. But I didn't expect Lily to walk slowly because of the child, and stopped for a long time because of an accident. Now she is still at the outermost edge of the "Alligator Tooth Ridge". its staggered.

After searching the estimated range to no avail, Dalsey led his people to continue to quickly explore north, but still did not find anything. At this time, he had to suspect that the other party might not have chosen this road, but After putting on makeup, we walked the smoother and quicker roads on both sides of the 'Alligator Tooth Ridge'.

When the search was fruitless, the general led people to set up a defensive line behind the 'Crocodile Tooth Ridge', and set up checkpoints and inspections in cities south of the northern border to prevent the mother and child from going deep into the northern border. Contact Raven Duke.

Just like that, when the three of Lily walked to the middle of the 'Crocodile Tooth Ridge' with difficulty, Darcy had already led the people away, leaving only a small number of flying knights patrolling to monitor this area.

After discovering the knight carried by the giant eagle above their heads, the three of Lily had to change directions several times and proceeded along the hidden valley at the foot of the mountain.

After nearly two weeks, the three struggled to get out of this precipitous area, and what was waiting in front of them was a heavily guarded blockade line with sufficient troops.

The initial precious window period has passed, and now most of these cities on the north side of the 'Crocodile Tooth Ridge' are controlled by the new emperor's army.

But also because of the precious time that was delayed, the iron-gray flags in the northern border also gathered and headed south. They passed through the long wind and snow, and began to quickly approach the 'Crocodile Tooth Ridge'.

The weather became cold again. After the humid air from the south entered the north, it turned into fluffy snow and slowly fell from the sky, giving people a gloomy and depressing feeling.

'Hu Chi——'

Accompanied by the sound of the horse raising its head, the horse's hooves stopped and fell on the cold rock, crushing the fluffy snow. Then the accumulated snow on the ground melted a little in the heat from the horses, and the surface also became bumpy.

A group of long-distance cavalry stopped on the hillside not far from the city. Looking at the specially dressed soldiers at the city gate, they knew that the city had been controlled by the new emperor's people.

After resting and staring at the hillside for a few minutes, the leading knight pulled down his mask, held the reins tightly, and then rushed down the hillside holding the iron-gray banner high.

Afterwards, knights with dilapidated armor followed closely behind and began to charge.

Born in the harsh and barren northern region, their equipment is not very good, most of them are armor handed down from their ancestors, and some cloaks are very dilapidated, worn out, and the threads are scattered, flipping rapidly in the wind dance.

On the old metal shields, some have patterns of some kind of flowers, and some have elements such as skulls and moons, giving people a simple and simple feeling.

After rushing down the hillside, there was a rapid sound of ringing the bell at the city gate, and then one by one new army gathered the rejecting horses on the road, and began to raise their muskets to aim.

The armor and metal objects on the horse collided with each other, making a noise on the mountain road. As they approached, the speed became faster and faster, and the long spears that were originally erected were lowered in unison.

The first gunshots rang out intensively, and the blue gunpowder smoke filled the air immediately, and then bullets passed through the cold air and hit the metal armor.

The metal nails were dented and torn, some bullets were bounced off, and some shot directly into the body, bringing up hot blood.

Afterwards, the magic-gathered spear burst into brilliance, and the spiral stance it brought up, like a horn, rushed directly to the wire-wound horse, smashing it to pieces.

Sawdust flew and shattered in all directions, but the remaining parts were entangled with the wire, trapped and tangled the horse's hooves, and then fell to the ground.

With just one round of shooting, the soldiers in front were knocked away, and the knights behind were torn apart like vegetables.

Different from the soldiers recruited and trained in the central region in recent years, these knights have been riding horses since they were young, and they have been cruising in the north. Soldiers are far from comparable.

Perhaps there used to be a group of powerful cavalry in the central region, but many of the elites have long since disappeared on the expeditionary battlefield, and now the remaining ones have to perform various urgent tasks, and rarely gather in large numbers.

Quickly taking the city as a back road, these knights carrying iron gray banners continued to head south, and began to approach the wilderness in the north of the 'Crocodile Tooth Ridge' step by step.

————

In the open field, two figures galloped fast on horseback, and behind them was a line of cavalry chasing after them.

Lily sat on the horseback with the child in her arms, and used her unfamiliar driving skills to control the horse running at high speed with difficulty, in order to get rid of the black and red figures behind her.

These pursuers were not many, about a dozen or so, and they were discovered while patrolling. Although Lily had already found a chance to buy riding horses in a small village, such an ordinary family raised The speed of the horse is far from being comparable to those of the elite knights.

Listening to the approaching pursuers from behind, the imperial guard also showed a bitter smile. He looked at the messy-haired Queen and the innocent and young prince beside him, hesitating in his heart and choosing.

Not everyone has enough will to face death calmly, and his age is still young.

"I used to envy the princesses and princes in those stories, but I didn't realize until now that maybe I should sympathize with the little unknown characters in those stories."

After saying such a paragraph without beginning and end, the guard's horse speed gradually slowed down.

He didn't have the courage to turn his charge to accomplish justice like Viscount Van Sden, nor could he completely abandon the queen mother and child and let them throw their bodies into the wilderness.

It can only be like this, paralyzing and comforting myself, let the two go first, and I will not give up the remaining hope.

Sorry, I'm just a mortal.

So comforting himself, listening to the sound of the horse's hooves approaching behind him, the guard finally slowly pressed his hand on the hilt of his waist.

Since he was learning swords with his elder brother when he was young, he has never been so greedy and clearly aware of the lines on the hilt, every trace of cold touch, the slightly rough wrapping of the hilt, the way he is today. The slight tremor of the blade sliding in the sheath.

He gradually let go of the rein with one hand, and his body began to relax, while the fingers of the other hand slowly wrapped around the hilt of the sword.

The breathing began to ease, the snowy chill in the lung cavity gradually spread in the limbs, and all the scenery in the field of vision began to go away, only the sound of the wind by the ear was so clear.

one second

Two seconds

Three seconds

When the pursuer behind him was about to stab the guard in front with a single shot, a gorgeous sword light instantly swayed away.

The sword light flashed from the waist, and then cut a long arc blade, cutting off the spear that came from behind in an instant, and then the sword light continued unabated, and directly cut the cavalry of Sequence 4 in astonishment, Even the other cavalryman behind was cut open and fell off his horse.

After the sword was swung, the imperial guard felt a sense of exhaustion but an extremely joyful feeling, as if he had grasped a mysterious feeling.

This time, he finally stopped hesitating, accelerated a short distance again, and began to turn.

The light golden magic power extended from the wrist, covering the blade and coating it with an unusually sharp effect. Then he started to speed up, launching an extremely dangerous confrontation with the oncoming pursuers.

The arc of the sword flashed, and the three cavalry were torn apart by it and rolled off their horses, but the remaining cavalry in red and black still did not retreat. , the four spears pierced the high-spirited guard directly, making his original surprised expression instantly turn into astonishment, regret, and fear, and then fell down unwillingly and absent-mindedly, rolled into the snow, turned around a few times, and stopped moving.

After killing the last guard, these cavalrymen, like hungry wolves, fixed their eyes on the mother and child who were tired of running ahead. They pulled out the spare sabers at their waists and started to accelerate again.

Under the distant sky, on the snow-covered ground, several black spots are chasing and slowly approaching. , and left a mark on the snow-white earth.

After that, the remaining six black dots accelerated again, slowly approaching the only black dot.

The whistling wind was whistling beside her ear, and Lily felt that she had gradually reached the limit, and the horse beneath her began to breathe unsteadily. She knew that the last moment would eventually arrive.

When she was about to die, she couldn't help but quickly recall this short life, and the past images flashed one by one.

Many small and unimportant things are directly skipped by the brain, only a few pictures are still deeply in the mind.

One of them is a scene where the family gathered to celebrate her after she received a letter of recommendation from Emenas. The older brothers and sisters showed envious looks, looking at the youngest sister, and the mother brought her favorite food The cake is sprinkled with almond powder, dotted with precious laudia cherries, and painted clouds with yellow cream below, as beautiful as a fairy tale.

After that is the scene of her first arrival in Emenas.

The Bridge of Never Falling across the Lanjian River is like the ruins of the great gods, giving people a strong visual impact, followed by the various and exquisite buildings of Emenas, which made her from a small family A local noble daughter is like entering a big city.

After that was the wedding at Titania~IndoMTL.com~ She was standing on a tall float, and countless people crowded on both sides of the street. Such a scene was like a dream, beautiful There is a kind of unreality that makes me doubt myself from time to time.

The last is that sad night, the scene of Amanke's death.

On the elegant stage, Aimanke sat with her and watched the grand opera and dance performance. All the girls in exquisite dresses danced neatly, until the girl who appeared at the end.

Wearing bright dancing shoes, she has a graceful figure like a snow-white swan. When she spins on the stage, the faint brilliance overflows with her steps, moving and dreamy. And when she finished dancing, Amanke also stopped breathing.

Legendary Secret Technique·Dance of Death, this is the most demanding but also the most splendid way among the ancient assassination techniques.

After the dance, the girl bowed to her, smiled flawlessly, and then collapsed on the stage like a puppet that had lost its life. After that, countless shouts of panic drowned everything.

Now, it's my turn.
