The Royal Guards located outside the hunting ground immediately began to rush to the location of Prince Andres and others after receiving the news. It only took a while for the army of more than 3,000 people to gather together from a scattered guard state, and such a large army I don’t know if the scale of the transfer can be hidden from the eyes of some thoughtful people. God knows whether the attackers will also have spies on the periphery to monitor the movements of the Imperial Guards.
However, it is excellent from the fact that the opponent still has not launched an offensive. Although the increasingly tight encirclement is chilling, Prince Andres believes that as long as he can hold on until the Guards arrive, everything will be possible. Turnaround.
But whether they can survive is also a question. There seem to be many people on his side, but apart from the nobles and some servants and maids with low combat effectiveness, there are only fifty royal knights who can really fight. Andres doesn't even dare to use this After telling everyone the news to avoid causing panic and allowing the attackers to launch an attack in advance, the royal knights began to arrange quietly, trying to gather everyone together, and arranged a large number of carriages. A fortification had resisted the enemy's cavalry charge.
The mages also stopped fearlessly casting spells and began to drink magic recovery potions in order to restore more magic power before the war started. You must know that in order to create a better dining environment for these nobles, these mages really consumed a lot of magic power.
"Hey~ why did you tear down the water curtain? Don't you know how hot the sun is today?"
"What are you doing? Do you want us all to suffer from heat stroke here?"
"Put up the water curtain. As a mage, will your magic power be exhausted in just such a short time?"
Apparently there were some nobles who didn't understand the situation at all and started shouting, which made the people on the side who knew the real situation extremely angry, but at the same time they had to suppress their tempers to appease them. There were even some royal members who were still reluctant, only Prince Andres. They were quieted down when he came forward, but even so, Prince Andres was full of melancholy. The royal family of the Karut Kingdom had indeed enjoyed themselves too much and had become corrupted.
The liaison officer who used the communication magic device to maintain contact with the outside world also informed His Royal Highness the news. After learning of the situation, the royal family had organized mages to use teleportation circles to prepare the elite knights to take the lead at all costs. Transmitted, in addition to this piece of news that comforted Andres, the suspicion in the Senate was also temporarily lifted. Just as Andres analyzed, the Senate has no need for a showdown with the royal family now. Planning such an assassination operation that is almost equal to death is simply suicidal. After learning about the situation, the Senate was even more anxious than the royal family. A large number of mages were transferred here with the help of the Senate, and even some A confidant cultivated by the patriarchal family.
If not the Senate, who could it be
Being able to mobilize so many mages and transport hundreds of people and horses in such an incredible way is definitely not something that a simple organization can do. Even the great lord of a country may not be able to do it all. !
Andres recalled all the capable forces that he could imagine in his mind, but he could not find any real suspects. Karut was close to the Free City and relied on its unique geographical environment to become a major commercial power. Over the years, In line with the external policy of making more friends and less enemies, the Karut Kingdom has almost never had bad relations with any neighboring countries. In addition, because the Holy See is the state religion, its influence in the eastern part of the continent is still very large.
Even though they had taken advantage of the border conflict between the Kingdom of Creses and the Carlsemmen Empire and made a lot of money by reselling supplies, neither the Kingdom of Creses nor the Carlsemmen Empire dared to say anything afterwards. Not to mention that the princess of the Kalsemmen Empire was also involved in the attack and was cleared of suspicion this time. Even the Kingdom of Creses also needed to rely on the Kingdom of Kalut to maintain trade routes during the post-war chaotic period. The new king who just took office He was still busy eliminating opponents, so how could he come to plan his assassination? Even the faction loyal to Princess Lindis should be busy dealing with the purge of the new king, and it is impossible to bring bad luck to the Kingdom of Karut just because they lost the war.
Even if you are looking for an enemy, you are looking for the wrong person. Now everyone in the eastern part of the continent knows that the person sitting on the throne is the culprit behind the defeat of the Kingdom of Creses in the war with the Kalsemmen Empire!
"Could it be a cultist!" Andres suddenly reacted. Those cultists who worshiped demons had been making a lot of noise during this period, and the incident in which the King of Belrama was invaded had just happened. , and the Kingdom of Kalut is not at peace either. Some time ago, a large family in the royal capital was also investigated because it was found that it seemed to be colluding with cultists. Could it be that the cultists were seeking revenge.
While Prince Andres was thinking anxiously, on the other side, Princess Celine also quietly boarded a carriage at Leonas's signal and took off her gorgeous but defenseless women's hunting attire. Leonas took out a piece of sophisticated soft armor from his space equipment and motioned for him to put it on. This soft armor was made of a kind of Warcraft leather and was blessed with physical defense magic. It had quite good defense. strength, and the most important thing is that this leather armor is very light.
After Princess Celine put on the leather armor, which was slightly too big for her, Leonas carefully applied auxiliary magic to himself, the princess, and the two knight commanders.
"Your Highness Princess Celine, please follow me no matter what." After completing all this, Leonas couldn't help but remind him again.
"I know, you should be more careful."
However, at this moment there was some noise in the camp. The two knight captains quickly drew their swords and stood on guard. Leonas, who had quick eyes and quick hands, quickly discovered that it was not the attackers who launched the offensive, but some nobles struggling. Get up, it seems from their attempt to regain control of the carriage that someone has let the news slip.
These damn idiots are still busy fighting among themselves at this time. Do they really want to pass the message to the attackers so that they can launch an attack
For a moment, Leonas was so angry that he wanted to kill those stupid nobles who were busy trying to escape.

In the bushes, Hengri Iron Nail, who was crawling slowly to the back of the entire royal hunting team, suddenly heard a noise that seemed to be coming from the royal team less than a hundred meters away. A dwarf wearing heavy armor. He pawed the soil with his stubby fingers and waved to his companions behind him to come over, and soon a male elf wearing leather armor and carrying a bow and arrow climbed to Hungry's position. With the talent of ambush, the tall elf man must lie completely on the ground to hide his body.
"What the hell are those son-of-a-bitch scum doing?"
Elves are not as powerful as dwarves, but in terms of vision, elves are known to have the eyes of a falcon.
The male elf slightly opened some bushes and stared quietly at the past. The nobles seemed to have a dispute with the knights. It seemed that they wanted to board the carriage but were stopped.
"Stopped?" Hengri took out the battle ax on his back and patted it: "That's just right, I will chop off all their heads later."
The dwarf's tone was full of strong hatred. In fact, most of the people in the team marching behind the dwarf were also full of this emotion, because everyone was not human. In this area ruled by the teachings of the Holy See, Here, the status of non-human aliens is low, and the Kingdom of Karut, which is close to the free city, has been exposed to the bloody money of the slave trade in recent years. For these elves and elves whose homes were burned down and their fellow tribesmen were captured as slaves, Even the dwarves wanted to cut the blood-stained nobles in their hands into pieces.
But the problem is that the scattered elves and dwarves tribes cannot unite under the pursuit of King Kalute and the slave-catching team. They can only be defeated individually. Even the Holy City, which has the concept of equality, is also because of Far away and powerless, although the Holy City has prevented many escapes and saved many elves and dwarves from becoming slaves, with the decrease in the number of people, the elves and dwarves can only watch helplessly as they are about to escape from this country. completely lost their place in the world.
However, there are still some dwarves and elves who stubbornly want to stay and fight with humans. Even if they are in embarrassment and lack enough supplies and weapons, the remaining elves and dwarves, especially the grumpy dwarves, are still persisting. Fight hard. After spending a long and difficult day, Hengri Ironnail and his compatriots recently received a helping hand from a mysterious organization.
In addition to a large number of weapons and armors, the most important thing is that the other party also has important information about the Kingdom of Karut. This time, the main royal members of the kingdom, including Prince Andres, will participate in a hunting party, and not only that, it is said An envoy from the neighboring Kalsemmen Empire was also present.
If Andres is killed and the envoy of the Kalsemmen Empire is killed, the two countries may go to war because of their hostility. By then, no matter who wins or loses, these humans will have avenged their enslaved compatriots. Arrow revenge.
Hungry quickly gathered his own men, and many elves and dwarves whose families were slaughtered or captured as slaves because their homes were destroyed joined the operation. Everyone hated the humans in this country, and every one of them hated the humans in this country. Everyone longs for a chance to take revenge, even if it means sacrificing his own life.
When this mysterious organization proposed that mages could teleport their personnel to the forest farm, Hengry had already begun to doubt the identity of the other party. Although the other party was also a dwarf, the strange aura of hatred made Hengry understand the other party. It is definitely not an ordinary person, and it is even less likely to be a member of the Holy City. Even Hengry immediately thought of the recent demonic invasion incident that everyone has known. The other party is very likely to be a member of the cult or even the demon itself. Not necessarily.
But what does it matter?┉┉
Bah~ Which of those fat-hearted nobles is not a devil? It would be great to use the power of the devil to deal with the devil! (~^~)
