When Xia Zoe came, the decision to bring more soldiers was undoubtedly correct.
It is precisely because of this that they were able to successfully leave the royal city, throwing off the king city knights who were chasing after them, and stopped at a relatively safe place for the time being.
Nat Case burst into tears and looked embarrassed.
His father, Marco Keyes, blocked an arrow in front of him to save him. The arrow was in the middle of the abdomen at the time, and he immediately passed out. Fortunately, Valk and Taylor rescued him later.
Marco Case was lying on the ground with a pale face at this time, his lips were bloodless, his robe was torn... It looked as if he was dead.
There is no excess ointment on Valk's body.
He reached out and probed Mako's breath, which was very weak, and there was no way to carry out effective treatment in a place like this...
Although Valk didn't say anything, the expression on his face already showed everything.
Nat Case suddenly burst into tears: "Father, don't die! As long as you survive, I will obey your admonitions obediently in the future, I... Father?!"
"Cough, cough, cough."
Marco Case suddenly covered his chest and coughed violently, causing a little rosy flush on his face.
He opened his eyes and said weakly, "Cough... Nat, in the future... will you really, be obedient, cough..."
Xia Zoe was pleasantly surprised: "Valke, help the Marquis up quickly."
Nat Case was stunned, and hurried to help: "Father, father, how are you?"
Marco Keys leaned weakly against Valk.
After taking a few breaths, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the bow and arrow from his abdomen with force, but there was no trace of blood on the arrow.
Under the stunned or surprised expressions of everyone, Marco Case took out a gold coin with a hollow in the middle from the place where the belt fit.
He looked at Xia Zoe and said, "This is the one thrown by the earl before..."
He picked up the gold coin that Xia Zoe threw out to attract the attention of the knight, and then placed it between the belts. He didn't expect to save his life by accident.
But the impact of the bow and arrow was not small, plus the injury to his back... In the end, Marco Keys fainted because of the exhaustion and pain caused by a series of encounters.
"Blessed by the God of Creation!"
Nat Case wiped away the tears on his face, and couldn't help letting out a long sigh of relief.
Xia Zuoyi couldn't help but feel grateful for this.
It is truly blessed by the God of Creation.
He said: "Wangcheng can't go back, you and Nat can leave with us together."
Marco Case nodded in agreement.
Nat didn't have any opinion either. His mother died a long time ago and threw himself into the arms of the God of Creation. Except for his father, he had nothing to do with the royal city now.
What's more, since things have reached this point, it is impossible for Bass Ridges to let them go, and staying away from the royal city is the best choice.
Although the ointment is exhausted.
But Judit also carried a botanical potion, so he only needed to find a safer place on the way and not easily found by the royal city knights to brew it.
In this way, Marco Case's injury will gradually improve.
Along the way, Valk led Taylor and Barna to fight against the Knights of the Royal City, cleared the traces left behind, and finally successfully got rid of the pursuit of the Knights of the Royal City.
Now it is getting closer and closer to Weissus and Fort Comoy.
In the middle of the night four days later.
The soldiers that Valk quickly sent back informed Fernandi and the others in advance, and the two sides would meet a little farther from Fort Komoy.
Fernandi came over with a group of soldiers: "Where is the count?"
"Shh."
Valk put a finger on his lips, pointed in Judit's direction, and whispered, "The Count is asleep."
They have been running away for days on end.
Xia Zuoyi hasn't relaxed for a long time, his emotions are tense, and he even rarely rests. Even adults can't stand it, let alone a child who is not too old...
Now that we are not far from Weissus and Fort Komoy, the neighborhood is undoubtedly safe. In addition, Fernandi is on his way, and everyone's nerves can't help but relax.
Xia Zuoyi is no exception.
His eyelids sank, and he finally closed his eyes and fell asleep under Judit's pat and hug.
When Fernandi looked over at Valk's fingertips, Xia Zoe was lying on Judit's back, his face on his shoulder was snoring.
Looking closely, there are still bruises under his eyes that have not faded away.
Fernandi's worried heart finally fell back into his stomach, and his expression eased: "Go, let's go back."
"Ow, ooh."
Xia Zuoyi was lying on the bed, he felt something fluffy touching his forehead, and the coquettish sound of oooo ooh kept coming from his ears, and the surrounding breath was safe and familiar.
Xia Zuoyi's eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes... The first thing that caught his eye was the tip of a snow-white and fluffy tail.
He turned his head, the snowball was lying on his side, and looking down, the briquettes were lying at his feet.
Xia Zuoyi felt the soreness coming up from her body, she sat up with her arms up, and said with a slightly hoarse voice: "Balcoids, snow balls."
"Ow."
Seeing that he was moving, the briquettes and snowballs climbed up at once, and then came over and got into his arms.
Toby heard the voice running into the room from the outside, and shouted in surprise: "Lord Earl is awake!"
Not long after, Judit, Fernandi and others all came in and surrounded the bed.
Xia Zoe: "How long have I slept?"
Judit said, "It's only for one night, Lord Count."
"We returned to Wessas last night. Marquis Case's wound has been carefully treated by Adai, and Master Nat is by the side of Lord Marquis."
Xia Zuoyi nodded: "That's good."
…
In the afternoon, everyone was almost settled and rested, including Marco Case, gathered in the study room to discuss things.
Xia Zuoyi asked, "How's the situation on the Wangcheng side? Is there any news?"
Buzz Ridges's plan to coerce the lords into obscurity is revealed.
On the way back to Weissus, they did not forget to leave a hidden dark post along the way to monitor the movement of the royal city, in order to prevent any important information from being missed.
Walker said: "After the church in the royal city was burned, the temple was also destroyed the next day."
"Nowadays, there are rumors in various parts of Gadayat that the slaughter of the royal family by Bath Ridges has angered the God of Creation, and it is the God of Creation who punished him for this... Many manor owners and commoners are resisting him. "
However it didn't work.
Xia Zuoyi speculated that the destruction of the Kaais church and the temple should all be the work of the Pope. After all, apart from him, no one should dare to do such a thing in the royal city.
It seems that the fate of Bishop Bolton and Bishop's deputy may be tragic.
He said: "Since Bass Ridges dares to plan for the throne, he will not care about the opinions and rumors of the manor owners and commoners about him."
It's nothing more than a bad reputation, a bad name for the succession to the throne, and bad words.
Valk: "That's right, so the latest news from the Whistleblower is that Buzz Ridges has ascended to the throne yesterday, and..."
"And what?"
Fernandi replied in a deep voice: "He killed eleven lords before he ascended the throne."
"Currently, six cities in Gadayat have become lordless places... I speculate that the next plan of Bass Ridges is to send knights to recover these lost lords."
Xia Zuoyi frowned: "Which cities are they?"
Judit showed him the map of Gadayat.
Valcke: "Two of these cities are very close to Fort Comoy."
"These two cities must not be recovered by Bath Ridges, Lord Earl, we can completely take these two places into the territory before him."
At least not sit still.
Judit: "But in what name would it be better?"
Marco Keyes: "I remember that the earl and the previous king are also related by blood... According to the laws of the kingdom, if the royal family does not have a direct heir, they can choose an outstanding person from the collateral line to inherit the throne."
When everyone present heard the words, they all looked at the first little lord.
Xia Zoe: "… "
He couldn't help shaking his legs, put the map back on the table, and said, "Why do you have to be a king? I can always be a lord and make Gadayat my territory."
Fernandi and Valk looked at each other: "What does the count mean...?"
Xia Zoe: "None of these six cities can be left for Bath Ridges, and all of them must be included in my territory."
"Not only that, mark all the roads, cities and other places leading to Weissus and Fort Komoy, send soldiers to attack them, and garrison them."
Since Buzz Ridges is his absolute enemy, the initiative must be in his own hands.
Moreover, the number of black cavalry and white cavalry he owns is completely incomparable to the Knights of the Royal City.
Unless the lords who took refuge in Bath Ridges gathered all the knights in their territory to the royal city, there would be a possibility of a confrontation.
But as long as they are broken one by one, the threat will be minimized.
The danger and pursuit they suffered in the royal city of Kaesri would not just be the end of it, and keeping Bas Ridges' life was always a disaster.
Xia Zoe: "In addition to paying attention to the situation in the king's city, Fernandi, you ordered some soldiers to inquire about the news of Gaina, to prevent Bruno Green from contacting Bas Ridges and send knights to Gadayat to carry out support."
Fernandi nodded: "Yes, Lord Count."
Xia Zoe is not at all worried that he will lose in the confrontation with Buzz Ridges.
As I said before, there are not many knights that the lords can have.
For example, the Duke of Gadayat only has between one hundred and two hundred knights.
Xia Zoe's conscription plan was originally to strengthen the defense of Weissus and Fort Komoy, and the soldiers strictly followed the method of military training to continuously improve their physique and ability every day.
From the number of people in a class to a row, and even between levels, there is a tacit understanding and frequent drills.
Xia Zoe did not believe that the soldiers in his territory would lose to the knights of the royal city.
Now time is the key.
He can gain the upper hand as long as he takes the first to capture the six cities that have lost their lords.
