Persian Assassin: Dance of the Prisoners

Among the clouds in the sky, the whole body exudes a hazy golden light. They are male and female, with ancient Greek-style robes fluttering, wearing golden bay leaves on their heads, holding weapons or musical instruments in their hands, pure white The flock of pigeons danced around them, as if the ancient gods came to the world.

One of the dignified women held a baby in her arms and held it up high, as if signaling something to everyone.

And I immediately realized that this was not a miracle, but a man-made illusion. In order to make the new emperor who is about to succeed him a savior in the eyes of the world, it was Yulyans who wanted to gild himself with the brilliance of divine power.

People can't see that mirror, and there is a distance that can never be crossed between them and the emperor.

I have a vague feeling that he wants to make some changes, but I can't guess what it is.

People knelt down to the phantom one after another, and no one knew who started to sing ancient songs, making this grand enthronement ceremony seem to be a ceremony to worship the gods.A ray of dawn gradually bloomed in the sky, but at the same time thunder was rolling, as if the ancient gods had heard people's prayers and responded.

"Savior! The chosen savior of the gods who were betrayed by the Galileans 2! Son of Jupiter!"

A loud voice came from nowhere.Then, the crowded crowd was separated by a team. They were dressed in white cloaks and copper masks, dressed like a group of priests. There were 11 people in a group, and they walked slowly up the stairs.Except for the one at the end with a stooped figure, who looked like an octogenarian, the rest seemed to be young women. They were barefoot, with special patterns painted on their ankles, and their walking posture was solemn and light.

"Look, the polytheistic saints who guard the holy fire! What a rare sight!"

"They are willing to come here for His Majesty Julius, and they must be for the Saintess Enes who died in vain..."

One or two eunuchs began to discuss in soft voices.

What are these people trying to do?My eyes focused on the old man at the end, and I saw that he was holding a golden necklace with a sun totem pendant in his hands. He bent over Yuriyans and presented the necklace to him respectfully.

"What's the matter, respected Elder Canterlot?"

Yuriyans did not go to pick up the necklace immediately, but politely helped the old man in white up from the ground.The surrounding noise gradually disappeared, and there was no sound.

"You are the hope of the gods. I will give you the Sun Hallows left behind by Alexander the Great. May you become the high priest of the ancient and great Roman religion, and get rid of the imprisonment of the gods of the Galileans!"

"The Adjudicator! The Antichrist! The Kingslayer!"

In the silence, an old voice suddenly sounded.Walking up the stairs was a bald man wearing a priest's black robe. He looked familiar, as if he was a bishop next to Constantius.Behind him were several believers and ministers in white robes and red professors, with an attitude of not being kind to the visitors.

I watched with cold eyes, not knowing what kind of good show will happen next.An intuition tells me that they are with the guy I killed in the woods, and they have evidence against Yuriyans' accession to the throne.

Yuriyans stopped in his tracks without saying a word, as if waiting for them to explode.

"Holy Father, how dare you wear the emperor's crown with your sinful head, how dare you hold the king's scepter with your blood-stained hands, and climb to the sacred golden chair in full view!"

The bishop yelled loudly, as if someone might not hear him, and raised the crucifix in his hand.

A person immediately echoed: "Please listen clearly, it was Yuliyans who murdered His Majesty Emperor Constantius! One of our loyal ministers, the beloved Minister of Finance Du Lunza, decided at the previous day's parliament Stand up and expose Juliyans' evil deeds, his body was found in this holy palace yesterday!"

"Sir Bishop."

A voice came from above, and there was a burst of exclamation from the crowd.I was surprised to find that the guy who was killed by me a few days ago appeared in the phantom projected by the mirror above.His face was so vivid and his eyes were so bright that I couldn't believe my eyes.

"I did die, but not as you said. I died of corruption, and I deserved it. Not long ago, I agreed to your request to reduce the amount of gold and silver in the currency and use the gold and silver to pave the church. foundation, and so was punished by the old gods to die."

After saying that, his throat bulged, and his mouth suddenly opened wide.Countless little snakes rushed out of their mouths, like algae gushing out of the cracks in the ground, causing screams from all around.I couldn't help feeling nauseous for a while, and covered my stomach.More people uttered angry reprimands, not to Julyans, but to the bishop.

If I go against Yulyans' wishes, will I end up like this one day?

Chapter 80 [LXXX] Lord of Rome

Looking at the bishop's pale face, he spoke incoherently: "God! This is a lie! A huge slander! This... This is not what I meant!"

His lips trembled, he hesitated to speak, I couldn't help guessing, perhaps this was what Constantius meant, how could a priest dare to interfere with the currency behind the emperor's back?

But he must not tell this secret, otherwise it would tarnish the reputation of the deceased emperor; and if he did not say it, he would acquiesce in this crime—it has to be said that Yuliyans' tricks are really very clever.

The people behind him seemed to be shocked by this scene, but they didn't help for a while.

"The dead don't lie. Come, someone, go to that new church for an inspection." Yulyans calmly ordered.His determined tone was in stark contrast to the guilty demeanor of those people, which made me realize that he was not simply eradicating dissidents, but was using this to clean up the real moths in the ruling and opposition parties.

While I am not a politician, I understand how a serious sin it is to artificially devalue currency.

"Also, as far as I know, my cousin had a disagreement with you on Arianism's teachings the night before he died, and he once flew into a rage and wanted to expel you from the palace. His complaints against you, It was all written in the Bible you gave him, as evidenced by his own handwriting. But the court picket found out that the Bible was covered with some kind of mysterious flammable substance. Tell me, why in At the banquet the next day, will my royal brother suddenly spontaneously combust to death? Your Excellency? Also, are you... also Obius and Tyrion's collaborators?"

He said slowly, apparently planning for all this, all the accusations were self-defeating in the blink of an eye.

"We don't know anything! His Excellency the Bishop instigated us! Please forgive me! Augustus!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, several senior elders rushed forward tremblingly, and knelt down at Yuriyans' feet, for fear of being accused of being kingslayers and embezzlers at the same time.Seeing that the bishop was shaking like chaff, unable to speak, he retreated tremblingly towards the stairs, but was held up by several imperial guards and dragged down.

The crowd fell silent again, as if awaiting their verdict.

Yuriyans was condescending, and the scepter touched the heads of several elders one by one.They were frozen with fear, but they heard each other say softly, "I forgive you."

The pardoned person didn't even dare to lift his head, he rushed to kiss his ring, and scrambled to hide aside.Yuriyans went straight to the elder in white, took the sun necklace majestically, and hung it on the scepter in his hand.Twelve priests kowtowed to him, but the crowd remained silent for a while.

Perhaps, it was because this scene was unprecedented.The Bishop called him a Confessor, and perhaps he was—I remembered that scene at the banquet where he read the Revelation, when he was perfectly like a devout Christian.

"I, Flaviz Claudius Ulyans Augustus, today inherit the position of Supreme Emperor of Rome, High Priest, Consul for Life, and Commander-in-Chief."

The sky was full of thunder, which could not cover up the sound of his breathtaking announcement.He walked slowly down the stairs, dragging the robe embroidered with wings and unfolding it behind his feet, like a god descending into the world.

The crowd was silent for a moment before a wave of shouting and cheering broke out.

——His Majesty seems to have miscalculated, and very wrongly.

Looking at the tall and straight figure holding the scepter, I had such a thought in my heart.

Why did he choose to assist Yuri Yangs to ascend to the throne of God?Would it be more beneficial for Persia if he took control of Rome instead of Constantius?

He's like... strategizing, ambitious, good at deceiving people, keen and ruthless.

How can I do it with ease on such an imperial chessboard?

Thinking this way, I have already walked down the steps with the sending team, and a carriage with four horses and high horses greeted me from the side.Yuriyans walked up, but didn't get into the car immediately, but stood in front of the car and looked at me.

I was slapped on the back by Hozmir before I realized it, straightened my clothes quickly, and went forward.Taking a deep breath, I half-kneeled in front of him, and spit out the grand-sounding honorifics word by word, perhaps because I had been immersed in the court for many days, but I was unexpectedly fluent.

But without a mask on my face, I couldn't help worrying that people around me would recognize me.Because of the "feat" in the slave trade that day, I believe many people have left a deep impression on me.

"As the gods testify, I declare that Prince Arshak has officially become the incumbent of Armenia, tribune for life, and a legal citizen of Rome. May Rome and Armenia maintain peace forever and have a good relationship for a hundred years."

The scepter fell gently to the shoulder, and one hand was stretched out under the eyelids in an extremely elegant gesture.On a finger as pale as snow, a purple obsidian ring glows like a demon, just like the eyes of its owner looking at me.

I grabbed his wrist, lowered my head with difficulty, and touched the gemstone on the ring with my lips, but the scene of going up to the holy fire altar to meet His Majesty the king came back to my mind.Kissing the king's ring means swearing lifelong allegiance. If it is not for a false identity, this is enough to be an act of treason.

The laurel leaf crown symbolizing peace was worn on my head. I stiffened my neck, raised my head, glanced at the crowd inadvertently, and held my breath for a special face.

Wearing a white cloak, he stood quietly among the surging crowd, as if he had been staring at me for a long time.The heart is like being caught by a net and strangled to the throat.Afraid of being noticed by Yulyans, I didn't dare to look any further, so I hurriedly stood up.In the blink of an eye, he was submerged in the waving arms and moving heads.

"As a token of friendship, I sincerely invite the prince to ride with me on the imperial chariot."

My wrist was suddenly clenched, and I was slightly startled. I was led into the carriage by Julyans under the watchful eyes of everyone, which attracted boos in surprise.But he didn't seem to care, he lifted the curtain of the car with one hand and hugged me into the car.

Before he could react in time, his body was pulled around and hugged onto his lap. Before he could sit still, the car body bumped and galloped up.

Chapter 81 [LXXXI] Fireworks perish

I was stunned for a moment, until the buttocks folded on his lap were shaken, and then I realized his attempt. I jumped up instinctively, but was firmly wrapped around my waist.The cold scepter rested on my back, like a shackle that I couldn't break free, and like a death row prisoner's punishment post, it made people feel chilly all over.

"Don't move around, or I won't be able to help but punish you right away." His face was close to mine, and something I couldn't understand flashed in his eyes so close, he threatened in a low voice.

I couldn't bear it and I had room to resist, so my head was pressed against his chest with gentle force.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but his arm holding the scepter seemed to be trembling slightly.

"I've finally reached this position, but I only have you, Ah Suin." Yuriyans' arms were tightened, his tone revealed a trace of loneliness, and he became firm again, "So don't think about it, take care of me. run away."

My heartstrings tightened again, I withdrew my hand, and secretly scolded myself for being soft-hearted because of him: "Where are we going?"

"Leave Constantinople and go to Antioch's palace." He raised my chin, "Staying in this old palace with too many past events will only make my heart sore."

Antioch?This almost unfamiliar place name flashed in my mind, and I was shocked.Antioch is the capital of the province of Syria, the capital city to the east of Rome, and an important midpoint of the Silk Road...the pass to Persia.

I didn't know how far Antioch was from here, and I suddenly became nervous.What was Yuriyans doing there?There was no time to think about it, I was preoccupied with more immediate problems.Isos is still waiting for my signal, and Flaviz and I just met...

Pushing Yulyans away, I opened the closed shutters.Outside the window is the scene of the city passing by, and the running crowd is chasing after it like a wave. A tall city gate stands not far away, and what is waiting outside is a completely unfamiliar scenery to me.It was raining hard, and the water was beading on my face, just like the anxiety that followed.

And I can't do anything.I can't stop the car, I can only hope that the poison of Issos has been successfully removed, and they will wait for the opportunity to escape by themselves when they hear the movement outside.Reluctantly, I slammed on the car door, and I was dragged into his arms again by Yuriyans: "What? Can't bear to be here? Or... can't bear to be locked up by my companion?"

I straightened up vigilantly, he found out?When I looked up and saw that probing look, I felt a little lucky again.Afraid that he would see the flaw, I hooked his neck: "No, I just miss you."

As soon as I said those words, even my own scalp went numb.

The thick eyelashes in front of my eyes trembled, revealing a star of stunning bright color, and the red lips under the mask curled up a little, but it didn't seem very happy: "It's so beautiful. Say it again?"

The nape of the neck was gathered and tightened.I held my breath, and made up my mind to deal with him curvyly, and said, "I can't bear you."

Before the words fell, there was a loud bang above my head, which startled me.As thunderous explosions followed and shifting lights spilled into the dimly lit compartment, I realized they were fireworks of celebration and felt a burst of joy.This is undoubtedly the best signal, and Isos and the others will definitely take this opportunity to act.

Yuriyans lifted the car curtain with his scepter, hugged me over, and whispered in my ear, "Do you like watching fireworks?"

I looked up, obviously not in the mood, but I couldn't help being attracted by the scene in the sky.

Clusters of colorful light beams are like flowers all over the mountains and plains, blooming, burning, and gushing in the haze. After a short moment, they are like burning moths, heavy rain made of meteors, and golden arms rushing to the battlefield. Iron horses fall one after another towards the boundless land and the vast sea, which is heroic and poignant.

"It's beautiful, isn't it, but when you look at them, they are fleeting, and there is never enough time to retain the light of the fireworks."

The kiss fell on the ear, and an unreasonable sadness filled my heart.The hand around my waist tightened a little more, making me close to his body: "Only by taking away the fire, so that he can't burn, and holding it tightly in the palm of your hand, can you feel the light and heat... Don't you think so?"

The tone was both sentimental and extremely dangerous, like a strand of spider silk strangling his throat and he couldn't breathe: "But fireworks are never coal fires. If you hold them in your hands, you will only get burned."

"I'd rather be burned." He whispered softly, his breath scorching hot, "You'd better burn me to bones, to ashes, Athioin. Because you and I, this life will last until death."

My heart shook violently, and a cluster of fireworks suddenly climbed high into the sky, and exploded vigorously.The most brilliant light tore through the clouds, as if burning the entire dome.

Chapter 82 [LXXIII] Encountered Roundup

"I'd rather be burned." He whispered softly, his breath scorching hot, "You'd better burn me to bones, to ashes, Athioin. Because you and I, this life will last until death."

My heart shook violently, and a cluster of fireworks suddenly climbed high into the sky, and exploded vigorously.The most brilliant light tore through the clouds, as if burning the entire dome.

"You are a lunatic..." The fire of that night suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and I couldn't help muttering.

"And you are a disaster. Pandora's box." He put down the car curtain, and slid his fingers across my chest, "I broke my oath and opened you up to meet the doomed punishment, just to ask for the thing buried deep at the bottom of the box. But it's a lie."

He buried himself on the back of my neck, took a deep breath, suddenly bit my shoulder heavily, pushed my legs away with the scepter, and reached for my waist.Unfortunately, the car body bumped violently, as if driving from a flat road to an ancient stone road, it swayed from side to side, shaking my body up and down against him, it was better than intercourse, not intercourse.

I was taken aback, I didn't expect this guy to be so excited, I was busy grabbing the handrail, trying to prop up my body, but he hugged me even tighter.After repeated bumps, the thing behind him has risen, and it bumped against my tailbone with the car ups and downs.Unbearable memories flooded into my mind again. The humiliation and anger made my whole body stiff, but my body was already excited.The sound of fireworks and explosions kept coming and going, the noise of the seeing-off crowd was endless, and the car curtain fluctuated with the wind from time to time, which aggravated my sense of shame.

There was no way to retreat in the small space, so I had no choice but to stay still, to avoid further anger, and hold on to the scepter tightly: "This is the day you ascend the throne, Your Majesty the Emperor!"

"Scream again?" He squeezed my hand tightly, put the handle of the staff against my leg, and turned it gently.The body of the icy staff covered with carvings was numb with the vibration of the car body. I shrank back sensitively, but the rear was pressed even tighter, and I couldn't move forward or retreat.Behind the thick robe, the heat from the chest has penetrated to the back, turning into a layer of sweat.

I pursed my lips, feeling embarrassed for a moment at the thought of Flaviz nearby.

The silence seemed to irritate him more and more, the covert invasion intensified.He bit my earlobe lightly, touched my clothes, kneaded my nipples, and then reached into the panties to caress carefully. He didn’t move much, but he felt an unspeakable itch from the body. I tried my best to endure it. , and couldn't help shaking slightly.

"I really can't bear to dirty this imperial robe..." One leg was lifted by the scepter, and the hem of the clothes was lifted to my knees. I jumped up immediately, and my head hit the hood of the car.When he was dizzy, his body was pulled into his arms again, and he grabbed his legs and pressed them against his thin waist.

The body shook even more violently, and the hard object under his body hit the rear directly, and it was ready to come out through a layer of clothing.I grasped his shoulders tightly and raised my back to hide, but there was no room above my head.As soon as he lowered his head, he was so close to the mask that his ears rubbed against his temples, his deep eyes were filled with mist, but there was a playful and mocking smile on his red lips.

But my gaze was attracted by the window behind his head——through a gap, I saw a gust of figure chasing after him not far away. At first glance, it was very familiar. It looked like Ishkad !

What does he want to do?Waiting for an opportunity to rescue me?Isos, have they escaped?

Not daring to look any further, I turned my gaze back to Yuriyans' face.And this brief glance seemed to have made him aware of something, he narrowed his eyes and looked behind.

Like a ghost, I grabbed his collar and kissed him without hesitation, biting his lips clumsily and eagerly.Regardless of any shame, I spread my legs, wrapped them around his waist tightly, and rubbed the beast in his lower abdomen with the vibration of the car body. At that moment, I felt the legs under his robe tense, and then the scepter pressed down on him. down my waist.

"I didn't know this kind of occasion could excite you." He moved his lips to his ears, his voice was hoarse and wet, as if he had already been moved, and he had forgotten the strangeness just now.

"Stop talking nonsense." Holding his shoulders tightly, I lowered my head and kissed his rolling Adam's apple, and raised my eyes to glance out the window.Ishkad still kept a close distance, and there was another shadow behind him, which could only be Tatu.Can two people deal with the Royal Guard?If you can hold Yuriyans hostage...

The moment this idea popped up in my head, a bright light leaping in the distance caught my attention—it came from behind the royal blue dome.Could it be that Isos and the others have already broken through?

I squinted my eyes and looked into the distance, but the light disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"My little Venus..." Yuriyans raised his neck lazily, stroked my back with his fingers, and touched my buttocks with the handle of his stick, "Let me guess what you're thinking right now?"

As soon as the ass cools, the hem of the clothes has been picked up to the waist, and half of the obscene pants have been stripped off.With a thought in my mind, I decided to bite the bullet and remove his belt—that could be used to tie him up.Unexpectedly, he grabbed the hand when it was half removed, and the alarm bell in my chest was loud, but he pulled the robe loose with his hands.

In the shadow of the loose lapel reveals a pale chest and abdomen like a snow field, and under the graceful waist, two deep mermaid lines are looming, like a river leading to a secret place, leading directly to the dense forest where ferocious beasts are dormant.

The feeling of being conquered and violated hit my whole body in an instant, even though the situation forced me, I still lost my breath.Closing my eyes and withdrawing my sight, I snuggled into his arms, with my chest exposed and my belly exposed, the tight fit with his flesh made me tremble, as if a drowning fish returned to the fish pond.The breathing in my ears suddenly increased, and I pulled my obscene pants to my knees, and the things underneath were like giant crocodiles out of water, writhing in the wet mud.

The shaking of the car body caused itching, and the gluteal muscles instinctively tightened, as if they were waiting to be trampled.I gritted my teeth, tried my best to curl up my weak waist, and pressed him heavily. I cast my eyes out of the window, and at a glance, I saw that the two black shadows had already approached the end of the guards. I copied the location.

The blood suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the mouth of the blood like a reverse flow, making my muscles and bones stretch like a wounded arrow. Resisting the urge to jump up, I touched along his arms, intending to hold his hands, ten fingers But got entangled.

He held back his breath and whispered in a low voice: "Run away, my little Venus, if you can escape..."

I propped up my body vigilantly, and my hands were firmly clasped behind my back. I only heard a hiss, and my wrists were bound by the delicate snake body.The lower body was hit hard, as if his body had been penetrated by his genitals, and the power of the beast exploded in the body.Before he could yell out, his mouth was tightly covered, and the unrelenting force pounded heavily in his body.

"Don't scream... I don't want us to become a scandal in Rome. If it reaches the ears of the King of Persia, you, a loyal minister, will feel ashamed, won't you?"

He uttered words softly like coaxing, his waist and hips cooperated with the concussion and merciless thrusts, hitting the bull's-eye every time.The raised fine scales scraped across the inner wall with the bumps of the car body, and the piercing tingling sensation burned all over the lower body like sparks from a prairie fire in an instant, making my legs and feet weak in an instant, and my toes were not spared.

"On the day of the Roman emperor's enthronement, to be in the royal chariot with him... What a feat!"

The humiliation rose steadily with the joy that exploded in my blood. I tried my best to support my body, but was firmly suppressed by the scepter behind me.The car seemed to speed up suddenly, the up and down bumps were like turbulent waves, the body was violently shaken, and the place where the body connected to him seemed to be split into a bottomless valley, and the internal organs were swept into it.

I raised my head, my legs were convulsed like trees swaying in a strong wind, and my sweat was dripping.The body is like being crushed into muddy water by rolling wheels, squeezed in turn, the pain of swelling and cracking is released from every pore along with waves of pleasure, which is enough to make people desperate to survive.The moment he let go of my lips, I moaned uncontrollably, but even the sound line was lifted up with the vibrating car body, and I instinctively tightened his waist and hips.

There was a sound of "咻", the sound of a sharp weapon breaking the wind came from nowhere, I only heard a horse neighing, the car body shook suddenly, as if the front wheels were lifted off the ground, I was picked up in the air by the thing inside, and then Fall back hard.This blow almost made me faint, tears poured out uncontrollably, and ran wildly on my face.

"Let go... let go!" I grabbed his wrist and growled intermittently, but I was hugged tightly around the waist, the attack on my body intensified, the more violent the body vibrated, the faster he relaxed.The maddening pleasure is rising steadily, as if tearing the body and soul into pieces and sending them to heaven.

"Protect His Majesty the Emperor, there are assassins!"

There were a few more sharp noises, hoofbeats were chaotic, armors were rubbing against each other, people were moving, and a large number of troops seemed to be coming from all directions.In this situation, if I cannot escape by myself, how can they help.I struggled to free one hand, trying to break free from the restraint of Yuriyans, and suddenly the car body leaned forward, shaking half of my body out of the car curtain.

As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw Ishkad's figure just a few steps away, and my body was dragged back again.Yulyans pressed me from above, his eyes were terribly dark.He held up the scepter, and I realized what he was going to do, but it was too late—the curtain behind him was raised, and he presented us in front of others.

The brain roared, and for a moment of sluggishness, the body was turned over and squeezed tightly, and it was embedded in the bottom.

"Ah Lian..." The soft voice in the ear was like a curse: "I just want the world to see, and want those who try to take you away to see how thoroughly you are possessed by me."

Seeing Ishkad's figure froze suddenly, an unparalleled humiliation exploded in my veins, I bent my elbow and bumped his chest, turned around and bit his neck.Tasting blood spurting from between my teeth, I loosened the strength restraining my body, I clenched my robe tightly, jumped out of the car, and staggered wildly with my numb legs.

"You can't escape, Ah Suin! This is my land!"

The hoarse shouts were like dense spider threads entangled my eardrums.Without looking back, I snatched a guard's horse with my hands, jumped up, clawed at the horse's back with five fingers, and broke through a gap in the encirclement with lightning speed, heading towards the dark mountain field like a beast out of a cage. rush away.

The thick darkness followed the torrential rain like ink, I clamped my horse's belly, and plunged into the depths of the dense forest.The sound of horseshoes behind me kept on chasing, and two strong winds came from the left and right, like a wild wolf pounced on me in the night, blocking my way.The horse kicked its hooves in fright, I pulled the reins tightly and stopped.

The mottled tree shadows overlapped the two familiar figures, making their expressions obscure.I was gasping for breath, my brain was buzzing, and the three of us faced each other, silent for a moment.

I heard Ishkad's heavy breathing, as if trying to suppress his anger.He undoubtedly saw it.To see Yulyans cutting my dignity to pieces in front of him.

The nails dug into the flesh, and in an instant, I had an urge to leave alone, like a wounded man who has been defeated in a battle among wolves, it is better to leave alone than to stay in the team of the strong in a discomfiting ugly state.But I can't do that.This legion is my family, my home, and I will advance and retreat with them.

"Go. They'll come after you."

Turning around, I patted the horse's back, and drove the horse to move on.Ishkad and Tatu walked side by side with me.As I expected, there was the sound of pursuers in the distance, mixed with dogs barking faintly.As soon as I turned my head, I saw several beams of flames coming together in a fan shape, and I hurriedly accelerated the speed.

"Tatu, lead them away."

Ishkard ordered in a low voice.Tatu comprehended, grabbed the bow and arrow on his back, walked around in another direction, and after a certain distance, he shot an arrow at the place where the fire came.Some of the pursuers were immediately attracted by him, and surrounded him like bee bugs exploding a nest.

I put my body tightly on the horse's back to minimize the resistance, the most standard riding combat posture, but I obviously feel that my state is not as good as before.The terrain is not too steep, and a good horse that has been domesticated to the point of pain can't arouse much wildness, actually tossed me so much that I felt sick, and my body was on the verge of collapsing.

Sensing something wrong with me, Ishkad approached and grabbed my rein: "There is an urban area ahead, so it's not easy to escape. I'll lure them away, and you climb up the tree."

I nodded: "Give me some weapons, just in case."

Ishkad tore off the concealed weapon pouch from his waist and threw it over me.I galloped towards a thick and towering tree, kicked my feet when I was in front of me, grabbed a tree trunk, turned around and climbed up, and hid in the dense tree shadow.Aiming at the runaway horse, I threw a four-pointed blade all over my hand, causing it to flee wildly in the other direction.

After doing all this, I leaned against the branches of the tree, feeling badly exhausted.When did my martial arts degenerate to this point?I subconsciously clutched my swollen abdomen, panicking in my heart.Let it continue to develop, I really don't know what it will become.A human cocoon that hatches a viper?

Flavitz's voice still rings in my ears, and it makes me shudder.I took a few deep breaths and curled up my slightly trembling hands and feet to avoid making any noise.I don't know if the pursuers were all led away by Ishkad and Tatu, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet for a while, only the sound of my own breathing, the sound of swaying leaves, and the sound of tiny insects remained.

This feeling of dread made me feel familiar, even full of belonging.I remembered that during the training, the instructor threw me and twelve other junior warriors into a deep ravine and let us hunt for our own survival.On the third night we encountered a pack of hungry mountain wolves.They are the ancient guardians there, and we are uninvited guests who know nothing.It was a cruel competition, but it was a test that every warrior must pass through for promotion.

Of the thirteen people, five survived.The rest were all buried in the belly of wolves, and there are many former outstanding players on the training ground.The experience of exile after leaving Flaviz helped me—I was used to starving and dying, the cage made me desperate, and adversity could arouse my desire to live.

I don't have to rely on others for the rest of my life, and walk like a wolf. Slander is what I want most.But in the dark, there always seems to be an invisible pusher, which makes me unable to move towards the direction of my heart.

Just like my mother feared, I was like a small lone star on the astrolabe that couldn't control myself, and I was pulled away to the destined orbit bit by bit.

I squinted my eyes and looked into the vast forest, but I really caught a glimpse of a shining star—the pursuers have arrived.

"kagasa!"

"Yaluoza!"

The bright light changed from one star to one, and the rough accent with unknown meaning suddenly cut through the silence.There were rustling noises all around, and I looked down and saw figures of people moving in the mottled forest, and several stars of fire pierced the thick darkness, rushing towards all directions like a pack of mountain wolves.I saw those guys were tall and tall, and they were Julyans' barbarian army.They were much more difficult to deal with than ordinary Roman soldiers.

Brutal, violent, vigorous and resolute, orderly in chaos.They fight as if by instinct rather than training, but that's the scary thing about barbarians.They are hard to predict, like the Huns.

Although I know how good Ishkad and Tatu are at throwing off their enemies, I still feel a little nervous about what happened to Issos and the others.After the surrounding area calmed down, I climbed down cautiously. Unexpectedly, as soon as I moved, I heard the low bark of the hunting dog, and my nerves tensed up.

Several clusters of flames suddenly lit up, and several dark figures suddenly appeared from all around.

And I found out that one of the women was Susa.

She and several other blue-faced barbarians raised their heads and stared at me, as if they didn't know me at all.
