Rise of the Empire Total War

　　Sophia is very unhappy.

　　She has been very unhappy since she came out of Ravana City.

After making up her mind to find Richard, she first explained her wishes to her father, but Burris directly rejected her after listening, and advised her to dispel this idea, because Richard was destined to marry Stephanie. of.

　　 If Sophia can listen to Burris' words, there will be no follow-up troubles, but she will appear in Luwen City. It is obvious that she has not obeyed Burris' words. After the fight with Prince Burris, Sophia ignored the latter's roar and ran out of Ravana City with the closest maid and a few guard knights.

　　 Fortunately, they brought enough Morse coins before leaving, otherwise they would have to eat and sleep on the road.

　　 "His Royal Highness, we will reach Luwen City soon."

　　 After several days of rushing, Sophia and her team finally entered the boundaries of Luwen City. After asking the local residents, her loyal knight commander Buck reported.

"Better hurry up, Stephanie must already be behind Richard." Sophia gritted her teeth and said, her mind even had the scene of Richard and Stephanie talking and laughing, that atmosphere. Very harmonious!

　　 Seeing Sophia look like this, Knight Commander Buck thought for a while and still didn't tell the reminder he got from the residents, because even if he said it, the princess might not be able to take it to heart.

　　 Just now, the residents he had inquired kindly reminded Buck that this band of thieves was active. Those thieves were numerous and cruel, and basically none of the targeted targets could escape alive.

　　 This made Buck's heart nervous. There were only five royal knights guarding Princess Sophia with him, and these six knights had to protect two weak women. Buck just feels a lot of pressure.

　　 "I can only hope that we can reach Luwen City safely." Buck thought to himself, but at the same time, he did not relax. He ordered the other five knights to be vigilant and guard against possible attacks.

　　 However, the band of thieves still attacked them.

　　 Seeing the trunk that fell across the road, Buck immediately knew that something was wrong, and reflexively drew out the knight's long sword hanging from his waist and hissed and roared.

　　 "Enemy attack!!!"

In the next second, several arrows were shot from the bushes on both sides of the road. These arrows with rusty iron arrows whizzed towards the headed Buck. The latter tightened his horse in a panic. He started to block all the flying arrows for Buck, and fell to the ground with a painful neigh, pressing Buck under his body.

　　 The moment Buck fell, he heard the screaming roar through the bushes, and a large number of thieves with shabby clothes and simple weapons rushed out of the hiding place and rushed towards Sophia and his party in the middle of the road.

　　 Even though the guarding knights were prepared, they were still frightened by the sudden attack for a few seconds. After reacting, they drew out their swords and raised their shields to meet the enemy.

　　The Ravana knights are well-equipped and exquisite in martial arts, and although they are few in number, they still have the upper hand. While the two sides were fighting, Buck climbed up from under the horse in embarrassment, and he didn't care about taking the dust off his body, and directly rushed into the pile of people.

　　 The sharp knight's sword is in the hands of Buck, and every time it is slashed, it can take the life of a thief. But the rudimentary weapons in the hands of the thieves couldn't cause effective damage to him, and hitting the chain mail had no effect except making him feel a little pain.

　　 "For Your Royal Highness!"

　　 Cut off the head of a young thief, Buck roared loudly, scarlet blood sprayed from the enemy's hideous wound, dyeing the body of the loyal knight commander.

However, the defense of the six knights could not stop the thieves who were several times more than their own, even if their strength values ​​differed greatly. Over time, there were casualties among the Ravana knights: a knight was cutting off. Behind the enemy's arm, the nearby thieves pierced the spears in their hands and pierced the knight's body. Blood quickly gushed out. The knight fell to his knees unwillingly, and wanted to stand up and resist but couldn't do it.

　　 The death of this knight turned on an unknown switch. Casualties gradually appeared among the knights, and the defense circle was getting smaller and smaller. Everyone gritted their teeth and insisted on insisting.

　　 "Your Royal Highness, your subordinates will sacrifice their lives to guard you out of the siege!"

　　 Seeing that he could not kill the enemy, Buck, who had become a blood man, said to the frightened Princess Sophia.

He saw that the princess was unable to answer, and regardless of the response of the other party, he directly pulled the same frightened maid off the horse and then rode on her horse. While the surviving knight was still resisting, he pulled the reins of Sophia's mount. Rush to a place where the encircling circle is relatively weak.

Perhaps because he knew the power of the horse when charging, the thieves along the way evaded one after another, Buck took advantage of the trend, and he was about to take Sophia out of the siege. At this moment, a piercing whistling sound suddenly sounded in the air, and Buck's heart was stunned. Feeling bad ~www.readwn.com~ Before he could dodge, a sharp arrow passed through his chest. Buck just screamed before lying on the horse, losing consciousness.

　　 However, even so, the frightened horse under Buck neighed and spread its hoofs and continued to smash, and unexpectedly, Buck rushed out of the encirclement and ran into the distance with the unconscious Buck.

　　 Princess Sophia, who lost her protection, fell directly into the claws of the thieves. She looked at the hideous thieves who gradually surrounded her, screamed and passed out.

　　……

　　 When Sophia regained consciousness, she was in a dimly lit room, and she was tied tightly by rough twine, leaning against the cold wall.

With the faint light coming in through the cracks between the wooden boards of the window, Sophia discovered that she was not alone in this room. Apart from her, the maid who was thrown off the horse mercilessly by Buck and the two knights were all **** by the big five flowers. Up.

　　 Sophia also noticed that one of the knights was in a bad condition. The chain mail on his body was stripped off, exposing many hideous wounds inside.

　　 Seeing Sophia wake up, the other knight in better condition looked a little surprised, and he whispered: "Your Royal Highness, did those **** thieves do anything to you?"

　　 "No." Sophia's head was still a little confused, she shook her head and asked: "Toby, what just happened?"

　　 "We were attacked by thieves." The knight named Toby said with a wry smile, "Knight Buck is unclear. Except for the four of us, the rest are dead."

　　 "Where are we now?" Sophia continued to ask.

　　 "We were caught by thieves and locked up in their lair. I don't know exactly where it is."

　　 "Then... can we escape?"
