225, Who is the hero?

Sinach ordered the first construction of two buildings in the city of Rees, one was the Temple of Enrile and the other was the Palace of the Emperor. He wanted to use this city-state as his escort capital in the territory of the ***. In the mind of this emperor, in addition to the original Assyrian capital, Neve, he also wanted to build two escort capitals, and the other escort capital will be in the Duke Plain. He even thought about the address, which is where the city of Salem is now.

The Temple of Enriel is easier to do. The original Malduck Temple in the city-state was transformed, and the main building was preserved, and the main statue could be replaced with Enriel. However, it was a bit troublesome to transform the original lord's mansion into an palace. Sinach thought the mansion was too shabby and ordered the nearby buildings to be demolished and rebuilt. What he wanted was a magnificent and luxurious palace.

The Assyrian Empire launched a large number of newly conquered slaves to build a palace for Sinach. The construction period was very tight. Many craftsmen and slaves died of exhaustion in the quarry, and many people were cruelly punished for not completing the task on schedule. At present, the palace is still under construction, but the main hall and Sinach's residence have been completed. Sinach planned to marry Princess Xiao Qian here, and Princess Xiao Qian will also live in this accompanying palace after marriage.

Sinach sent a bride-welcoming team to Baron City, both to welcome the bride and to protect the safety of the princess. Because from when, a rumor broke out in the kingdom that someone wanted to assassinate Princess Xiao Qian. The assassinator may be a fanatic of the Assyrian military, and the decision to end the war to prevent Sinach from marrying Princess Xiao Qian.

This rumor is very interesting. Some extremists in the Assyrian military may have had this idea, but the one who really wanted to do it was the main combat forces in the Kingdom of Barron, but for another purpose. Since there were such rumors, the Assyrian Empire would of course protect the princess to arrive in the city of Rees safely. The Kingdom of Barron also sent a guard team, and some warriors who worshipped Princess Xiao Qian also spontaneously followed the convoy behind the convoy to escort the princess out of the country.

This team is very complicated. In front of the Assyrian Kingdom's bride-welcoming guards lead the way, in the middle is the guards of the Kingdom of Barron escorting the princess' car. Behind the long convoy, there are some warriors with their own weapons and dry food following from afar. Leaving Barron City along the west bank of the Ris River to reach the palace of Sinach. It takes more than half a month to walk such a huge convoy, and camping in many towns along the way.

Although everyone was vigilant to prevent the appearance of assassins, the road was calm after leaving Barron City, and no abnormal situation occurred. Instead, many people spontaneously greeted the princess on the roadside. Some were crying, some were singing poems, and some representatives of nobles in some towns paid tribute to the princess and presented gifts. The princess did not see guests, and all the gifts were collected by the accompanying master Peili and conveyed their gratitude.

When the convoy reached the third day, a small problem finally happened. People almost thought that it was an assassin, but there was a misunderstanding.

That morning, the princess' convoy left the camping town and passed through a green field. The official road ahead turned a corner. There was a small hill on the left. There were not many trees on the mountain, and it was a knee-high grass slope. When the convoy passed by the foot of the mountain, he heard a man on the top of the mountain shouting: "Princess Xiao Qian, I'm here to protect you!"

The voice of this man was heard far away, and the entire convoy heard it. His voice caused a commotion. The guards and warriors in front and behind turned around, bowed and unsheathed, and Peli also jumped to the roof of the princess's car with a staff. The well-trained Assyrian warriors at the front had turned their horse heads and rushed to the foot of the mountain, raising all the heavy crossbows.

There was only one person on the top of the mountain. He was wearing bright silver armor, which was the dazzling samurai armor on the mainland. It was made of horse leather steel and covered with sunken silver, and the patterns of divine art formations were engraved on it. However, this man did not have a sword, and a slightly arc-like fang-like scimitar hanging on the waist. The knife had no sheath and was tied with a ribbon on the hilt. The long hilt was like a short staff, and a flame elf was inlaid at the end.

In a tense atmosphere, he looked proud and walked down the hill with a smile. At this time, the leader of the wedding team sent by the Assyrian Empire had led the cavalry to surround the foot of the mountain in an arc and shouted loudly: "Stop, please do not trespass the princess's car, otherwise you will kill me!"

As if she didn't hear it, Medanzo waved at Peili from afar and said, "Peli, we're meeting again! I'm Medanzo, do you still remember? Oh, I heard that you are a great magician now, at least at level 8, right?"

If someone who was not sure of the details heard this, he would not know how intimate he and Peili were. Medanzo did not slow down when he spoke, and he stepped forward with great enthusiasm, and had already reached the range of the heavy crossbow. Peili frowned and was about to shout, but only the sound of a bowstring sounded, and the knights in the Assyrian Empire's wedding guard had shot arrows at the same time.

They only listened to the captain's order. Cripps had already ordered Medanzo to stop, but Medanzo did not. These people were used to killing people on the battlefield. When they saw Medanzo entering the range, they immediately shot crossbow arrows without thinking. The heavy crossbow arrows were shot out by a strong warrior, and the power could penetrate a bull. In a blink of an eye, they could turn Medanzo into a hedgehog. Many people behind the convoy had already exclaimed.

However, Medanzo didn't even pull out the sword, neither dodge nor block, nor even stopped, he even stopped his steps. He waved his hand and left a series of phantoms in the air, as if the arm had turned into countless, and he actually grabbed all these crossbow arrows in his hand, holding a large handful. Although the distance was a bit far, even if he held the shaft of the heavy crossbow with his hand, the palms and the belts would be rubbed off, which could not be easily caught. Medanzo was as light as he grabbed a grass stem.

After exclaiming, everyone took a breath. Cripps had drawn his sword. His knights raised their guns and arranged the charge formation. They knew in their hearts that they had met a powerful opponent. At this time, people heard a soft shout: "Stop! This warrior is my friend, he is here to protect me. Didn't you hear it?"

Everyone looked up and saw that Princess Xiao Qian had already lifted the curtain and stood in front of the shaft of the car. Her figure looked a little weak, her hair fluttered gently in the morning breeze, but her pretty face was cold and her tone had an irresistible majesty.

Medanzo shouted again with awesomeness: "Did you hear it? Your princess called me over, why don't you put down your weapons!" As he said that, he had already walked towards the convoy at the foot of the mountain.

Cripps led his horse to Princess Xiao Qian and said dissatisfiedly: "Your Highness, this person is very skilled and has unknown intentions. You cannot make a decision!"

Princess Xiao Qian: "The purpose of coming is unknown? Do you have the final say! He is the kingdom warrior I personally enthroned. I remember when I was kidnapped by the giant tribe of the Assyrian plateau, he saved me without fear of hardships and escorted me back to the capital. Of course you don't know this person, but he is my friend. Peili can be a proof!"

Peili, who had already jumped out of the car, explained a little embarrassedly: "Yes, this person's name is Medanzo. He has indeed rescued and protected the princess. The princess has enthroned him as a noble warrior, but..."

Princess Xiao Qian interrupted with a calm face: "But what! He is my savior, a noble knight. Is there anything wrong with coming to escort me?"

Cripps was murmured in his heart that there were certainly many "kingdom heroes" who admired and followed Princess Xiao Qian. There were dozens of them following the convoy, but those people were not members of the official guards and could not disturb the princess's car. They could only bring their own dry food to accompany them. How could Medanzo come directly to greet the princess like that? Even the guards were alarmed.

Cripps shouted with his neck straight: "I am on the order of Emperor Sinach to protect the safety of the princess. I am responsible for all escort affairs on the road. I must not let this dangerous and unknown person approach your car!"

Princess Xiao Qian showed anger and gave him no face at all. She scolded him sternly: "Crips, are you going to treason and rebellion? Whether this person is trustworthy or not, only I have the final say! You will not know my identity, nor will you not know what I am doing in Assyria! If he is not trustworthy, then there will be no trustworthy person here, including you. I will not prevent you from executing the commands of the Assyria Emperor, but please consider your identity and future destiny! The guards will disperse, and the hero will come!"

Cripps was choked for a moment, his face flushed and almost couldn't speak. He was one of the heads of the palace guards of Sinach and a great warrior. He was sent to carry out the bride-welcome mission. He had a very contemptuous attitude towards the subjects of the Barron Kingdom, and just now he wanted to kill Medanzo. However, Princess Xiao Qian's words poured a basin of cold water on his head, which was a terrifying warning.

The princess in front of her is going to marry the Assyrian Emperor and will become the queen of the Assyrian Empire. No matter what she is doing, once this charming beauty becomes the queen, even if she only gets the momentary favor of Sinach, it will not be difficult to find an opportunity to get rid of him, the captain of the Imperial Guard. If Princess Xiao Qian deliberately wants to kill someone with a knife in order to vent her anger, will Emperor Sinach protect the queen or the captain of the Imperial Guard?

Princess Xiao Qian's words are clearly implying - don't contradict me here, don't look at your majesty now, when I become the Assyrian queen in the future, can't I deal with you?

Cripps's mind turned sharply and realized that the princess in front of him was not a good character to mess with, so he immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, I am also considering your safety. Since you absolutely trust him, let him come over." Then he waved his hand and ordered his knights to make way.

Medanzo walked to the princess's car and saluted to Princess Xiaoxi, "My beautiful princess, do you still remember what you said back then? I escorted you from Akkad to the capital of Baron. You once said that when you get married, we warriors will accompany you. I always remember it, so we arrived today."

Princess Xiao Qian did say these words, and she was joking with the guards around her. Someone asked her when she would marry Gilgamesh? Princess Xiao Qian did not give a positive answer, so she said that. Today she was indeed going to get married, but the one she married became Emperor Sinach.

Princess Xiao Qian looked at Medanzo, and for some reason she felt infinite emotion in her heart. She wanted to show a noble smile, but the smile was very light. She waved her hand gracefully and said, "Thank you, my noble hero!" Then she turned around and rushed to Peili in an instructive tone, "Give this hero the best horse and let him follow my car."

Peili was stunned for a moment, trying to dissuade him but didn't speak. The great magician suddenly realized something. The woman in front of him, whether it was Lord Ba*** or Queen of Assyrian, was not a person who was easy to offend. He even regretted accepting the bribery of the Assyrian Empire. He had been monitoring Princess Xiao Qian's actions for so many days, so it might be thankless to do it.

No matter how forced Princess Xiao Qian is, the only one who can really offend her is Emperor Sinach herself. It is best for everyone else to learn a little bit.

So Medanzo followed Princess Xiao Qian's car on a pure white horse. There was a distinct ceremonial battle in front and a luxurious convoy behind. The whole team was the coolest. He took out a fiery red cloak from somewhere to cover the bright silver armor. Only those who knew knew knew that he was just a warrior who volunteered to guard the princess. However, the onlookers who did not know the truth looked like he thought he was the groom who came to pick up the bride.

Princess Chi in the car was talking to Medanzo through the curtains, and she only heard her lowered voice: "I heard that you followed General Amon to Salem City. No, you should be called God Amon now. It is said on the mainland that General Aju was actually a god walking on earth. Is that true?"

Medanzo raised his head and replied, "Yes, he is the real god, my only god!"

Princess Xiao Qian sighed quietly for some reason and said, "You shouldn't have come here. Salem City just fought with the Assyrian Empire in the Duke Plain. If you know your identity, you will treat you as a dangerous enemy."

Of course, Princess Little Qian knew Medanzo's identity. Peili, the great magician who was accompanying her, also knew that Peili wanted to remind her just now but was stopped by the princess. The great warrior Crips sent by Sinach has been in the Assyrian capital for a long time and has been responsible for commanding the Assyrian imperial guards. She didn't know so much about the news from afar. Medanzo was only the captain of General Amon's guard at that time. Later, when she arrived in Salem, she only showed up several times in the war. It was normal that Crips in the distance had never heard of it.

Medanzo smiled very casually: "This is within the Kingdom of Barron. I was once a noble warrior of the Kingdom of Barron. Why can't I accompany you? In order to protect you, Princess, I am not afraid of any danger. I will always escort you to the ferry of the River Rees. Once you cross the river, you will be safe."

Medanzo is not stupid either. He will not openly enter the city-state guarded by the Assyrian army with the convoy, but will only send Princess Xiao Qian to a safe place. Princess Xiao Qian nodded silently and couldn't help asking in a concerned tone: "Before I left Barron City, I just heard the latest news, and he also appeared in your battle with the Giant Legion. How is he okay?"

Medanzo was slightly stunned, then understood that the "he" that Princess Xiao Qian said was referring to Gilgamesh. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but she still replied with a graceful manner: "He is very good, he is no longer as arrogant as he used to be. I didn't notice that he didn't take action, and he appeared in the battle formation as an ordinary archer."

Princess Xiao Qian said in a little surprised: "Oh, what kind of dress is he? I really can't imagine Jill like that!"

Medanzo had to describe to her the situation of Gilgamesh on the battlefield that day. The battle was thrilling. Princess Xiao Qian was covering her mouth. Finally, she covered her chest and asked again: "Where did he go after the war? What was his reaction when he heard the latest news from the Kingdom of Barron?"

There was something in the princess's words, but what she wanted to ask the most was - what did Gilgamesh react when he heard that Sinach was going to force her to get married, and what did she say? Unfortunately, it was hard to ask directly.

Medanzo sighed and replied, "It's a pity that I don't know. I came here directly after hearing the news. I was not by Gilgamesh at that time."

Then both of them were silent. Princess Xiao Qian looked at the hazy scene outside the car through the gauze curtain, and sighed for someone. Medanzo's appearance evoked her memories of the past. At this time, the person she missed the most was her ex-fiance, Gilgamesh, who had never really kept her, the kingdom princess, in her heart.

...

Where is Gilgamesh at the moment? I'm afraid Princess Xiao Qian would never have dreamed that this former noble hero, wearing a half-old thick linen coat and a pair of worn-out boots, rushed to the city of Baron King Baron. After entering the city, he ran to Prince Fengniao's mansion. In this way, he walked towards the gate, and immediately the guard guards came forward to stop.

Gilgamesh did not move, and stood on the stone steps and said, "Please inform me, I want to see His Highness Prince Fengnu, my name is Gilgamesh."

The guard had already raised one foot and was about to kick it. He was about to stare at and scold someone, but when he heard his last words, his movements froze there. He rubbed his eyes with an incredible expression, lowered his feet and stretched his head and asked, "You, you, are you really Gilgamesh?"

Gilgamesh replied calmly: "Where is any benefit if I pretend to be this name in this place?"

It's said that someone pretended to be Gilgamesh in front of Prince Fengniao's door. Isn't this like seeking death? The guards went in and informed him in a skeptical way. After a while, the door of the mansion opened wide. Prince Fengniao personally greeted him, and bowed from a distance, saying, "Gil, are you really here? Sorry, my servants were rude!"

Gilgamesh shook his head and said, "They are not rude. Thank you for going out to greet me in person! I have an important matter to discuss with you. I wonder if Your Highness has time?"

Prince Feng Nuo nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, of course, yes, you are here, I have time! Hurry up, let's talk about anything you have to say!" He stepped forward and personally took Gilgamesh's arm, and welcomed the former hero into the mansion.
