Although walking in the jungle greatly slowed down the progress of the trip, it was safe along the way. ,: .
Three days later, Yorko and his party unexpectedly encountered a group of Graycastle soldiers who were searching along the road a few miles away from the border. He recognized the other party's origin at a glance.
After following the army back to Evernight City and meeting with Duke Kant, he finally understood what had happened - His Majesty Roland, who received Hill's report, sent two secret letters directly, one instructing the No. The military detachment was divided into four teams, which entered the morning from the four intersections of the 'junction' between the two countries, and responded to the retreating foreign 'diplomatic' personnel. Another letter informs the Duke of Northland to enter a state of combat readiness. In other words, it is to start raising food, cotton cloth, carriages and other materials needed for combat. Once the main force arrives in the Northland, it can start the battle directly.
Fortunately, the messenger group was safe and sound.
When he said this, the Duke even let out a long breath, which made Yorko flattered.
But what moved him the most was the reaction of his old friends to the incident.
Although he knew that the four 'witches' in the team accounted for a large proportion, in the secret letter, the name of Ambassador Yorko was still mentioned, and he was ranked first. This treatment alone made him I think the fright and tossing all the way is worth it.
Yorko wrote a long letter about what happened during the evacuation, and 'handed it over' to the Duke, hoping that after receiving this letter, His Majesty would release the Northland's state of combat readiness-now he finally knew that Hill was right, His Majesty's attitude towards this matter is not just casual remarks.
In addition, he was also surprised by the responsiveness of the First Army, minus the time it took for the flying messenger to send the letters back and forth, which meant that on the day of receiving the order, this unit, which was originally used to guard against the remnants of the church and demonic beasts, launched an action. It's not that he has never seen nobles mobilize troops to fight. It takes half a month to gather knights, mercenaries and free people, not to mention group tasks. As long as the team disperses and there are fewer people to supervise, those mercenaries who have received advance payments will probably run away in one night.
This is probably the reason why the old friend was able to invade the capital in one day.
Yorko now vaguely understands that His Majesty's army is different from what he has seen before - not only weapons, but far superior to those noble vassals in every aspect.
At the same time, as an ambassador, he is not alone. The entire kingdom is not only his backing, but also his sharp edge. Thinking of this, he felt his 'chest' swell up, as if a flame was burning.
Now the only thing that makes Yorko uneasy is that only No. 76 is left.
According to the agreement in advance, the first-comer will hang a four-colored flag at the conspicuous position of the residence. Duke Kant sent someone to search the city of Evernight, but did not see any similar signs. Now that they live in the mansion arranged by the duke, they simply erected a flagpole directly at the 'door', letting the bright 'bright' canvas of four 'colors' flutter in the wind. As soon as you enter the inner city, you will see this sign at a glance.
In fact, he is not the only one who is worried about the other party. Through the window, Yorko can often see Annie and Amy standing under the flagpole, obviously wanting to see No. 76 return safely as soon as possible. As they got along gradually, Annie's attitude towards him also changed a little bit, at least she wouldn't stare at him with vigilance like before.
Hill's subordinates had looked for him more than once, hoping that he could set off for the West as soon as possible. The magician even told him bluntly that as a 'seducer', the chances of No. 76 surviving were slim. If the knights hadn't come after them, she should have reached the border village a day later, and then reached Evernight City faster than the rest of them. Now that there is still no movement at the meeting place they agreed, the result is basically doomed.
Yorko also understood this truth, but he still wanted to wait a few more days, not for anything else, just for the words she said when she parted.
"Wait until the 'wave' has passed, and I'll go to meet you again—it's in the border city of Greycastle, remember to wait for me there."
In the days after the separation, he finally understood where that strange feeling came from.
Although No. 76 was a slave in name, he did not treat her as a slave, whether in "Dark Money" or in the Kingdom of Dawn.
Yorko has decided that if she can come back alive, he will give her freedom.
Unfortunately, this realization came too late.
Another three days passed, and just when he was about to leave the Northland the next day, things suddenly turned around. A carriage stopped by the flagpole. The driver seemed to be quite anxious and wanted to find the 'guard' at the 'door'. Say something, but hesitate to go forward. Yorko, who witnessed all this from the window, had no time to leave the 'door', and the figures of Annie and Amy had already appeared beside the carriage.
Seventy-six is back!
The news quickly reached the ears of every member of the messenger group, and even Duke Kant rushed over curiously, wanting to meet this brave sacrifice.
But she wasn't doing well.
When Yorko saw No. 76, she was covered in scars, her right hand and left foot were broken, and she could barely move.
"Sir..." No. 76 blinked and smiled with difficulty, "It's been a long wait."
In an instant, he felt his whole body relax.
"Just come back."
Next, the group continued to stay in Yongye City for a week, until No. 76's injury stabilized before leaving for Yougu Town and leaving the Northland by boat.
During this time, Yorko also asked clearly what happened after the two separated.
She was overtaken by the Knights of Radiance City before the sun went down. In order to prolong the time as much as possible, she untied the reins of all the horses and drove them to run in the opposite direction, blocking the knights of Jia, and at the same time, she rode alone to the mountains beside the road to escape. . But before he could run far, he was blocked by a mountain stream.
Thinking that being caught was only a dead end, she jumped off the overhanging wall more than ten feet deep. Fortunately, there were branches and vines on both sides of the rock wall, so she didn't fall to pieces, but in the process of rolling down, she kowtowed to the ground, her hands and feet were broken by the protruding rocks, and she was already unconscious when she fell to the side of the stream. 'Lost' the past.
Probably because she didn't find a suitable way down the mountain, or because she thought she was dead, the knight didn't pursue her. It was late at night when she woke up, and she relied on the cold stream to stay awake, and occasionally caught a small fish or two.
Two days later, the villagers who were fishing for fish in the neighborhood after the seventy-sixth day found that their 'life' was saved.
Although the hero can relieve the pain, he cannot heal the wound. He can only send her to the west, and see if the 'witch' there can do anything to restore her health.
Anyway, she finally came back alive!
Yorko stood contentedly at the bow of the boat, standing against the wind, the sailboat raised its sails and sailed towards Neverwinter City.
