Chapter 01: Escape from the Imperial Capital
The whole of Alantis was completely in a chaotic battle.
Some of the people who followed the Xueyao Academy to break out were killed by the pursued punishment knights, and some of them took advantage of the chaos to escape. Only the people from Xueyao Academy were still gathered together.
The pursuit of punishment knights also stared at everyone's pursuit, and the support force was still increasing.
"We can't run around like this anymore. We must scatter and escape!" Professor Agu, who had been dragging behind the last hall, growled.
"We listen to the professor!" Arthur, Gree and others responded at the same time.
"Let me find an intersection in front and I will stop the pursuers for a while, and then Joan and Arthur go, and the rest follow Professor Elaine."
"Why separate us from each other?" Arthur seemed a little dissatisfied.
"Are you a fool? You two are the real targets that the Punishment Knight wants to capture. We are implicated by you!"
Professor Agu's angry scolding made Arthur quite embarrassed, but he asked ignorantly: "Then how can we meet?"
"Don't meet! Don't worry about us. If you can escape alive and go anywhere, don't go back to Isaac for the time being!"
Arthur and Joan looked at each other, and neither of them spoke.
There was a crossroad in front of me. Professor Agu stopped, and the others stopped at the same time. The punishment knight behind him was chasing him in a flash.
Professor Agu yelled hurriedly: "Ni Ni, the sea of rage is crazy!"
The "Blue Ocean Heart" photographed by Arthur for Nini at the auction showed its glory for the first time. With the magic activate, countless sea water spewed out from the magic circle, setting off a surging wave in front of Nini, and slapped at the pursuit of the punishment knight.
When the waves surged high and completely blocked the pursuit, Professor Agu cursed fiercely: "You two gangsters, why don't you get out of here!"
Arthur and Jonchichi bowed to Professor Agu, then turned and ran to the street to the left.
The waves raised by the level 8 water magic filled half of the street, slapped all the chasing punishment knights into the water, and kept retreating with the impact of the water flow.
When the water flowed down, almost all the punishment knights lay down on the street, mostly in the water.
"Elaine, take the other students away from the other road, and I will stop them for a while. If possible, go to the Anlin Academy in the Kingdom of Kildan and they should help us."
"What do you do?"
"You guys go quickly, don't worry about me. If I want to get out, no one can stop me." Professor Agu urged impatiently.
Elaine led Goli and the others to run away quickly, leaving Professor Agu alone standing at the intersection without moving.
......
Arthur and Joan quickly turned into an alley and temporarily concealed their bodies in the shadows at the corners of the two houses.
Qiong took out two sets of city guard uniforms from the space ring like a magical move, "changing the clothes first."
"Where did you get it?"
"I asked for something from Spence before, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today."
"I found that you and Spencer seem to have a different relationship?"
"It's mainly about the previous generation. I'll explain it to you if I have the chance." Qiong didn't seem to want to say more.
"We'll go back to the Nino's grocery store on Hotel Street in a while, which should be safe."
However, Joan did not agree, "No, we will leave the city now. If South City is still in Spencer's hands, he should be able to let us out."
Arthur nodded, "You have to be right. I didn't expect that the Second Highness would join forces with the Church of Light. If we stay in the city for a long time, we are indeed in danger."
After the streets were no longer moving, Arthur and Joan came out of the alley and headed straight for the south gate.
Because of this uniform of the city guard, the journey was much smoother, and there was no interception or interrogation from the church knights. Even if they ran into the defeated army of the coalition, the other party was only concerned about escaping and had no time to pay attention to them.
When the two approached the south gate, it was already dawn. The battle near the city gate suddenly became fierce, and countless officers and soldiers from the Northland Legion and the Kingdom of Bados were desperately rushing to the city gate.
The tall and thick city gate was closed, and the person who personally commanded the battle on the high platform in front of the city gate was Grand Duke Amaya, the commander of the city guards, while Spence, the deputy commander who was originally guarding the southern city, was missing.
In front of the city gate, it has become the most tragic battlefield in the imperial capital after outside the imperial palace. The defeated coalition forces did not expect that the way back was blocked. Only by fighting to retake the city gate can one have a way of life. Otherwise, they would all be buried in the city, so the waves of impact were particularly tragic.
The city guards were personally in charge of Grand Duke Amaya, and the number of people was advantageous. Although the casualties were also heavy, they firmly controlled the control of the city gate.
"We definitely can't get out of the city gate. Let's leave here first and then find a way." Qiong said with a frustrated expression.
Arthur pulled Joan, "Come with me, let's avoid the city gate and find a place with weak guard power in the middle of the city wall to flip over."
Qiong stared at Arthur with an idiot, "Don't tell me to climb over? Let's not talk about the city guards above, don't forget that I am a magician. The wall is fifty meters high, so I can't get up!"
"Come on, I'll carry you on my back." Arthur said as he half-jokingly hugged Qiong's waist tightly, not allowing him to struggle to sweep towards the middle of the city wall.
After hundreds of meters, Arthur actually flew higher and higher, his body completely rose from the ground and flew towards the city.
"It's flying, why are you flying?" Qiong exclaimed excitedly in the air.
"Although the Austin magician has a bad temper, he is really a good person. When he left the secret room, he threw me a magic ring with the "Flying" array engraved on it." Arthur proudly extended the ring on his other hand to Joan.
Because the two people were carrying heavy loads, they took off very slowly and were still shaking during the flight. It took a while before they could reach the height of the city wall.
Arthur was still proud, and Joan was enjoying the feeling of flying. Suddenly, the sound of breaking through the air was heard. A crossbow arrow more than three meters long shot towards the two with the wind in the neck.
Arthur was so scared that he would definitely be penetrated if he was shot by a crossbow arrow. Because he was shocked, the two of them fell down more than ten meters, and by chance he could dodge the arrow.
The city guards also heard the shouts of the city guards at the same time, "Someone flew up, crossbow arrows aimed, and archers scattered!"
"I've been killed by you, find a way!"
Arthur carefully controlled the wind-type magic array and quickly raised it, complaining to Qiong, "I have to control the magic array with one hand and hold you with the other. You are a magician, so you should think of a way."
Arthur reminded Qiong, and Qiong took out the magic scroll directly from the ring, and a large cloud of fire fell towards the city.
Although the fire cloud blocked the scattered bow and arrow, it could not block the huge crossbow arrows that were firing. Several crossbow arrows were successively shot by the two people's bodies.
