Time passed day by day, although Regner had already let go of the news within the Military Intelligence Office. But besides MI, there are other agencies in the Empire that can trace a person's whereabouts.
If it stands to reason, a fugitive prisoner would not cost the Hawke Empire such a huge effort. But because Kordak is the commander of the independent corps of the Hawke Empire, his position is not small. In addition, he once tried to kidnap a city lord. Either of these two things he did was a slap in the face to the Hawke Empire.
Therefore, even if it is just for the sake of the empire's face, the Hawke Empire will try its best to catch Kordak. What's more, in addition to Regner and the others, there are many people in Melinder who want to see Kordak die. As long as they use their brains a little...
Due to the empire's interceptions, Kordak wandered around the Hawke Empire for more than a month without being caught. Of course, this was also the reason for Regnar's betrayal. Otherwise, how could Kordak have escaped for so long since he was targeted by the empire's largest intelligence agency.
But even after persisting for so long, Kordak felt that he was reaching his limit. Now his scope of activities is becoming more and more restricted, and the empire is sending more and more troops. It is said that even Prince Joffrey of the Hawke Empire participated in this round-up operation.
Regnar, who knew the news, couldn't help but curse in his heart. A month has passed, and all matters at the Imperial Academy of Magic have been basically completed. Now the two deans, who are basically waiting for the spring semester to start, are naturally free. And Joffrey, an idiot, took advantage of this little time to participate in the roundup. Firstly, this guy wanted to get rid of Kordak, who had always disliked him. Secondly, he also wanted to take this opportunity to show his face as the dean of the college. , after all, in terms of reputation and strength, he, the dean of the first magic academy in the Hawke Empire, is much worse than Annelotte, the dean of the second academy.
Therefore, Joffrey also wanted to use this opportunity to make some achievements for himself. He couldn't beat the Red Flame Magician Saron, but he was still confident of defeating a high-level warrior like Kordak who had no other characteristics besides experience. He can be considered a magic genius, but his genius is overshadowed by the dazzling light of several other attribute ability users.
Everyone originally thought that Annelotte would also participate in this competition, because since Kordak has broken up with Dark Elegy, the Frost Queen, who has always been closely related to Dark Elegy, should no longer have any interest in Kordak. hand. What's interesting is that when Regnar issued the hunting order for Kordak, it caused a lot of scolding in the Hawke Empire. And now some people are speculating that Annelotte's participation in the hunt did not cause any dissatisfaction at all, as if all this was natural.
The reason why this phenomenon occurs is because Regnar has established a cold, cruel, mysterious, powerful, and murderous image in the hearts of the people of the Hawke Empire. They feel that Regnar is like the Red Flame Demon of the Hawke Empire. Like a magician. Annelotte is elegant, noble, quiet and powerful. Obviously, the latter image will undoubtedly be more popular, so subjective bias makes people form completely different opinions on a thing of almost the same nature.
However, although outside comments believe that this will be the first confrontation between the two colleges since their establishment. But Annelotte didn't react at all. Since she was busy with the magic academy, Annelotte took advantage of the rare free time to rest. When I have nothing to do, I study magic, and then give guidance to Enelise. I live such a comfortable life, why are I running around like that idiot Joffrey in pursuit of that ridiculous reputation? Besides, Annelotte herself didn't want to take action against Kordak.
It is worth mentioning that Annelotte's guess about Inelise was not wrong. Ever since that incident passed, Inelise has shown good magical talent. Her spiritual realm has grown again in just one month, and she has now become a low-level mage at the peak of level six, not too far away from the threshold of an intermediary mage.
As for Regnar, he was also paying attention to the development of the situation during this month. But in order to avoid Kordak being exposed, he did not dare to let the Military Intelligence Department pay close attention to Kordak's movements. Moreover, he also noticed one thing, that is, Vera was missing.
This could have been an opportunity for Regnar to realize Kordak's intentions, but at that time, Regnar mistakenly believed that Kordak hid Vera before carrying out this series of activities. After all, Lanmir is the granddaughter of the general, so there is no need to consider safety issues, but Vera is just Kordak's adjutant. If Kordak really wanted to betray, he would definitely have to hide Vera before doing anything else. Judging from the time of Vera's disappearance, this guess is not wrong.
Just like that, the truth passed Regnar once again.
And what about Kordak, who is still running away at this time
…
Kordak grabbed a mouthful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth. Spring will enter in about half a month. If I continue to escape, I'm afraid there won't be any falling snow to replenish water at any time.
But what should I do if I don’t run away? Kordak panted to regain his strength while thinking about his next move. Now Vera's whereabouts are still unknown, and she has been hunted by the entire empire. The situation is extremely bad. As for Balor, it seems that he has disappeared from the world since then. What is all this about? What should we do next? Damn it! What went wrong!
But Kordak had no time to delve into these issues, because the sound of the pursuer's hooves and the barking of the hounds sounded again. This time the pursuer bit him for three days. If he didn't want to get rid of it as soon as possible, , it is absolutely impossible for him to defeat these people.
"What the hell!" Kordak cursed angrily, and then continued to run away. He was glad that he escaped into a coniferous forest this time. If he were on the plains, no matter how good his physical strength was, he would not be able to outrun the war horses raised by the empire.
Another chase started in the forest. To be honest, Kordak was very proud of his tall figure because he felt that this was what a man should look like. But now he would rather become a little guy like Enelise, because then he wouldn't have to suffer from being chased and fleeing because he couldn't find a hiding place.
"Can't escape!" The sound of hounds and horse hooves got closer and closer, and Kordak had no choice but to stop.
He has two ways to deal with his pursuers, one is to get rid of them by running away, the other is to take out the giant lava blade and chop them all down. And Kordak usually doesn't like to choose the second option. After all, he has been in the army for a long time, so he still has some feelings for these soldiers. Kordak tried his best not to harm their lives if he could avoid hurting them. Moreover, in addition to the ordinary low-level warriors, there was also a high-level warrior involved in the hunt, and Kordak might not be able to defeat him. them.
But now, Kordak had to stop and fight, because the hounds were too fast, and Kordak and Ben couldn't outrun them. If he continues to run away, he will only waste his energy in vain. When he is caught up by then, Kordak may not be able to fight even if he wants to.
"You have been chasing me for so long and there is no end!" Kordak took out the giant lava blade from his space pocket and allowed the hunting warriors to surround him.
The leading high-level warrior crossed his legs and asked the horse to take two steps forward. He lowered his head to Kordak, and then said: "Are you the commander of the Iron-Blooded Giant Bear Kordak Corps? "
"I am Kordak, but there is no need to mention the title of Corps Commander." Kordak put the giant sword on his shoulder and said with a grin.
The high-level warrior looked at Kordak and couldn't help but nodded secretly. He had long heard that the iron-blooded giant Kordak was a cheerful and heroic man. Although he was being chased in a panic at this time, he still admired his unintentional demeanor. The senior warrior replied: "My name is Agnus. Your Excellency Kordak may not have heard of it, but I, Agnus, have been fascinated by you for a long time."
"Oh?" Kordak was stunned for a moment. He looked at the high-level warrior who looked about forty or fifty years old and had a light stubble. He has short gray-black hair that has turned gray, and his face under the hair looks weathered by war. There are faint scars on the left cheek, presumably from previous battles. Kordak asked curiously: "Why do I still have fans?"
"..." Agnas couldn't help but have black threads all over his head. It seemed that Kordak's detachment was indeed as rumored. But even so, he still said seriously: "Your Excellency Kordak, you have been fighting against the Stoke people for the past two years. Your Excellency Feliko Pingyuan led an elite team of 100 people to raid the Stoke Corps headquarters. In the battle at Chifeng Mountain, Your Excellency We are outnumbered and have to fight with an independent corps and two Stork corps. Although I, Agnus, have been in the army for twenty years, I admire your intelligence and courage, that's all."
"Haha, those big men in Merindel can't remember my Kordak's military exploits. I didn't expect anyone here to remember my achievements. I suddenly feel that the battles I have fought in the past few years have not been in vain!" Kordak Grinning again.
"But!" Agnas said, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said coldly: "Your Excellency suddenly rebelled at the critical moment of the imperial war. This fact also makes me, Agnas, feel disgusted!"
"Having said so much." Kordak moved his shoulders: "You still want to take me back, don't you?"
"I am a soldier, and as a soldier, I should obey orders!" Agnus replied calmly.
"That's right!" Kordak burst out with his own fighting spirit: "Since we all have reasons to fight, why bother with so many words? Just use swords to fight!"
"Okay!" Agnas jumped off the horse, and he also pulled out a two-handed sword. Although it was not as ferocious as the giant lava blade, but judging from the weight alone, I am afraid it is not necessarily lighter than the giant lava blade. . Agnus raised his giant sword as if it were a bamboo pole: "In this case, I will meet with you alone and let me see if the iron-blooded giant bear that shines so brilliantly in my eyes has lived up to its reputation. !”
