He raised his arm fiercely, and issued an order to the surrounding soldiers: "Arrest Arcadios on suspicion of betraying the kingdom, and also arrest Yukino Agria and Lucy Heartfilia, and drive everyone else out!"
"Yes!" Countless soldiers responded.
"What did you say?!" Hearing Darton's words, Natsu let out a roar.
His fist suddenly clenched, and flames began to burn fiercely on his fist.
"Don't drag Lucy and Yukino into this!"
Seeing this scene, Arcadios suddenly widened his eyes, and exclaimed: "Stop! You can't use magic here!"
Huff... A strange sound was transmitted, and then the Eclipse Gate behind the crowd began to emit a dazzling light.
The flames in Natsu's hand also seemed to be traction by something.
...
Flying towards the Eclipse Gate.
Even the magic power in Natsu's body was directly sucked dry in an instant.
"Ugh ah..." Losing the feeling of magic power made Natsu involuntarily let out a lament.
Finn quickly supported Natsu, who was about to fall.
"The Grand Magic Games was to slowly seize the magic power of the mages, and then transfer it here," Darton slowly opened his mouth.
"Activating magic power so close to the Eclipse Gate will cause all the magic power to be sucked away, you should give up, you who can't use magic won't be a match for the kingdom army," Darton persuaded the crowd.
He waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to go towards Yukino and Lucy.
"Don't come over!" Lucy couldn't help but retreat backwards.
"I said, what exactly are you trying to do?" Yukino also shouted loudly.
"Darton!!" Arcadios roared angrily.
But Darton just shook his head slightly, his expression firm: "We must not let the Eclipse Project activate!"
Seeing this scene, Finn frowned, and after handing Natsu in his hand to Wendy.
His figure leaped and came in front of Lucy and Yukino.
Blocking the soldiers who came.
"Finn..." Lucy was overjoyed.
"Lord Finn!" Yukino involuntarily put her hands together.
"Don't worry, I won't let them lay a hand on you." Slightly comforting the two.
Finn looked at Darton in front.
"Although I don't quite understand what kind of conflict you have, please don't involve the girls of our guild."
Saying this, Finn paused.
That tightly furrowed brow showed Finn's anger at this moment.
"Otherwise... I won't let this go!"
Looking at the person in front of him, Darton's face became a bit ugly.
"Do you know what you're doing? Fairy Tail's Finn?"
Darton glared at Finn.
"Of course I know, although I also understand why you're stopping the Eclipse Project, that's not a reason for you to harm my companions!"
Finn met his gaze without showing any weakness.
Facing Finn's strong, Darton couldn't help but point to the Eclipse Gate behind the few people and reminded: "You have to know that you can't use magic right now, are you really going to oppose the kingdom here?"
Slightly glancing at the gate behind him, Finn slowly opened his mouth: "So what?"
"You don't really think that we're just ordinary people without magic, right?"
Finn's words also drew agreement from Gray and Gajeel.
"Although we can't use magic, our physical qualities are still there," Gray responded.
"If you want to lay a hand on our companions, we can only fight to the death!"
Gajeel looked around, his eyes sharp.
"That's right, don't even think about taking Lucy and Yukino away!"
Wendy also clenched her small fists, and there was no trace of retreat in her eyes.
"Everyone..." Yukino widened her eyes.
The reactions of the crowd fell into her eyes without reservation.
This feeling of being protected was both unfamiliar and warm to her!
Even Lucy, who was hiding behind Finn, firmly said: "That's right, we won't be captured without a fight!"
The atmosphere began to tense up at this moment.
Gray and the others' gazes were tightly fixed on Finn.
There was no doubt that as long as Finn opened his mouth, they would dare to fight even the kingdom.
"Please everyone calm down!" Just at this time.
A clear female voice came from afar.
Breaking the stalemate on the scene.
Everyone couldn't help but place their gazes on the person who came from afar.
Emerald green hair neatly draped over her shoulders, wearing a white hip-covering skirt, and a delicate face with a hint of anxious.
The tiara and necklace inlaid with gems that shimmered with strange light confirmed her extraordinariness.
"Princess?!" Arcadios exclaimed.
"Princess, why did you come?" Darton also frowned.
"Princess?" The Fairy Tail crowd also widened their eyes one after another.
"Could it be... this girl is the princess of the Fiore Kingdom?" Lucy covered her mouth, and really didn't expect that the princess would come.
"Hisui?" Finn looked at the person who came, and was a bit surprised.
Hearing Finn's words, the crowd all looked at Finn.
"Finn... you know her?" Gray approached Finn and asked.
Finn nodded slightly, and explained: "Hisui E. Fiore, the princess of the Fiore Kingdom, I met her when I was doing a mission."
Finn was talking here.
The Emerald Princess in front had already come to Finn's front through the path that the soldiers had opened.
Slightly bowing, the Emerald Princess's face carried apology:"I'm really sorry for bringing you trouble, Lord Finn!"
Finn waved his hand, and looked at Hisui: "You don't need to apologize, I just want to protect my companions."
"I can understand your feelings," The Emerald Princess nodded.
Saying this, she turned her head to look at Darton and said, "Can you please withdraw your troops, it won't do us any good if we really start a war with everyone from Fairy Tail."
Darton slowly closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I have no intention of starting a war with anyone, I'm just protecting this kingdom in my own way."
"All of this, is to stop the Eclipse Project!"
The Emerald Princess was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking about something.
After a long while, she opened her mouth: "Lord Darton, I will give you a reasonable explanation for all of this later, please withdraw your troops."
Then he waved his arm, and the soldiers surrounding Finn and the others put away their weapons and retreated to the side.
His deep eyes looked at Hisui, not knowing what he was thinking.
Taking a deep breath, Darton slowly opened his mouth: "So the one behind the Eclipse Gate is really you... please give the kingdom a reasonable explanation later."
After saying this, Darton carried his hands behind his back, and left the spot with the soldiers.
"Princess, I'm sorry I..." Arcadios walked up, wanting to say something but was stopped by Hisui.
"There's no need to say anything, Lord Arcadios, it's not your fault."
She said softly, then looked at Finn, and suddenly showed a smile.
That slightly raised tiptoe, and the hands that were involuntarily carried behind her back.
Confirmed that this princess seemed a little happy.
"Lord Finn, it's been a long time!"
Finn, who was hugging his arms, also eased his serious expression.
Smiling slightly, he responded: "Long time no see, that clingy little girl from back then has grown so big now!"
Listening to Finn mention things from when she was a child, Hisui also rarely blushed a bit, and lowered her head slightly and said, "After all, it's been more than ten years."
"I was still young back then, and didn't understand things, I might have offended Lord Finn."
"Don't worry, I didn't mind," Finn touched Hisui's head like he did when she was little.
Looking at Finn's actions, Arcadios on the side suddenly stunned for a moment.
His eyes widened, and, most importantly, Princess Hisui actually didn't refuse.
