Chapter 38
Sha Zoe’s decision to bring more soldiers when he arrived was undoubtedly very correct.
It was precisely because of this that they were able to successfully leave the royal city, throwing away the royal city knights who were chasing after them, and temporarily stopped at a safer place.
Nat Case cried with tears and nose, looking embarrassed.
His father Marco Keys blocked an arrow in front of him in order to save him. At that time, the bow and arrow were in the middle of the abdomen, and he immediately passed out in a coma. Fortunately, Walker and Taylor rescued him.
Marco Keys was lying on the ground pale, with no blood on his lips and torn robes… it looked as if he was dead.
There was no more ointment on Walker’s body.
He stretched out his hand and probed Tan Ma Ke’s breath, it was very weak, and there was no way to implement effective treatment in such places around…
Although Walker didn’t say anything, the expression on his face showed everything.
Nat Case cried instantly: “Father, don’t die! As long as you can survive, I will obey your admonitions obediently in the future, I…Father?!”
“Cough, cough, cough.”
Marco Case suddenly covered his chest and coughed violently, making his face a little ruddy.
He opened his eyes weakly and said, “Ah… Nat, will you…really, will you be obedient? Ahem…”
Xia Zoe was pleasantly surprised: “Walker, quickly help the Marquis-sama.”
Nat Case was stunned and hurried to help: “Father, father, how are you?”
Marco Case leaned weakly on Walker.
After taking a few breaths, he stretched out his hand, and pulled out the bow and arrow in his abdomen with force, but there was no trace of blood on the arrow.
Under everyone’s stunned or surprised expressions, Marco Keys took out a gold coin that was sunken in the middle from the place where the belt fit.
He looked at Xia Zoe and said, “This is the one that the earl threw out before…”
He picked up the gold coin that Xia Zoe threw out to attract the knight’s attention, and then placed it in the place between the belt, unexpectedly saving his life accidentally.
But the impact of the bow and arrow shot was not small, plus his back injury…Finally, Marco Keys fainted because of the exhaustion and pain caused by a series of encounters.
“Chuangshi God bless!”
Nat Case wiped away tears on his face, and couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Xia Zoe couldn’t help but feel lucky.
It was really blessed by the God of Creation.
He said: “The King City can’t go back, you and Nat will leave with us together.”
Marco Case nodded in agreement.
Nat also didn’t have any opinion. His mother passed away very early and was thrown into the arms of the God of Creation. Except for his father, he has no concern about the royal city now.
What’s more, now that things have reached this point, Buss Ridges can’t let them go anymore, and staying away from the city is the best choice.
Although the ointment is exhausted.
But Udit also carried the plant medicine, so he only needed to find a safer place on the way that was not easy to be found by the king’s knights to make it.
As a result, Marco Keys’ injury slowly improved.
Along the way, Walker took Taylor and Barna to kill the king’s knights, clearing away the traces left behind, and finally succeeded in getting rid of the king’s knights.
Now it is getting closer and closer to Wesas and Fort Comoy.
Four days later in the middle of the night.
The soldiers that Walk sent back quickly notified Fernandi and others that they would reconcile at a distance from Fort Comoi.
Fernandi brought a group of soldiers to find him: “Where is the Lord Count?”
“Shhh.”
Walker put a finger on his lips, pointed in Udit’s direction, and whispered: “The count is asleep.”
They have been fleeing the road without stopping for days.
Xia Zuoyi hasn’t relaxed for a long time, his emotions are tense, and he rarely even rests. Adults can’t stand it, let alone he is a young child who is not too old…
Now that there is no further distance from Weissas and Fort Comoi, the neighborhood is undoubtedly safe, and Fernandi is on the way to come, everyone’s nerves can’t help but relax.
Xia Zoe is no exception.
With heavy eyelids, he finally fell asleep with his eyes closed under Udit’s pat and hug.
When Fernandi looked along Walker’s fingertips, Xia Zoe was lying on Udit’s back, snoring with a cheek on his shoulder.
Look closely, there is still a bruise that hasn’t faded under my eyes.
Fernandi’s worried heart finally fell back into his stomach, and his expression eased and said: “Go, let’s go back.”
“Oh, oh.”
Xia Zuoyi was lying on the bed, he felt something fluffy on his forehead, and the sound of coquettish wailing came from his ears, and the surrounding breath was safe and familiar.
Xia Zoe’s eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes…The first thing that caught his eye was a ball of white and fluffy tail.
He turned his head, the snow ball was lying beside him, and looking down, the briquettes were lying on his feet.
Feeling the soreness of the body, Xia Zuoyi sat up with his arms supported, his voice slightly hoarse and said, “Balquet, snow ball.”
“Wow.”
Seeing that he was moving, the briquettes and snowballs suddenly climbed up, and then they came and got into his arms.
Toby heard a voice rushing into the house from the outside, and shouted in surprise: “Master Earl is awake!”
Not long after, Udit, Fernandi and others all came in and gathered around the bed.
Xia Zoe: “How long did I sleep?”
Udit said: “It’s just one night, Lord Earl.”
“We returned to Wessas last night. The wound of the Marquis of Case has been carefully treated by Adai, and Master Nat is accompanying the Lord Marquis.”
Xia Zoe nodded: “That’s good.”
…
In the afternoon, everyone was about to settle and rest, including Marco Case, gathered in the study to discuss matters.
Xia Zuoyi asked, “What’s the situation in King City? Is there any news?”
Buss Ridges wanted to secretly threaten and intimidate the lords’ plan to be revealed.
On the way back to Visas, they did not forget to leave hidden secret posts along the way to listen to the movement of the king’s city to prevent missing important information.
Walker said: “After the church in the royal city was burned down, the temple was also destroyed the next day.”
“Nowadays, Bass Ridges’ slaughter of the royal family is spreading everywhere in Jadayat, which has angered the God of Creation. It is the God of Creation who punishes him… Many of the owners and civilians are resisting him. ”
However, it has no effect.
Xia Zuoyi thought that the destruction of the Kays Church and the temple should have been done by 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 the Bishop’s agent will probably be tragic.
He said: “Since Bass Ridges dared to plan the throne, he would not care about the opinions and rumors of the manor and the commoners.”
It is nothing more than a bad reputation, an improper succession to the throne, and an unsuccessful statement.
Walker: “Yes, so the latest news from the secret whistle is that Buss Ridges has taken the throne yesterday, and…”
“And what?”
Fernandi replied in a deep voice: “He killed eleven lords before ascending to the throne.”
“Currently, there are six cities in Jadayat that have no lords… I speculate that Bath Riggs’ next plan is to send knights to regain these territories that have lost their lords.”
Xia Zuoy frowned: “Which cities are they?”
Judith showed him the map of Gadaat.
Walker: “Two of these cities are very close to Fort Comoy.”
“These two cities must not be reclaimed by Bath Riches, Lord Earl, we can definitely take these two places into the territory before him.”
At the very least, you can’t wait and die.
Judith: “But what name is better?”
Marco Keys: “I remember that the earl and the prince are also related by blood… According to the laws of the kingdom, if the royal family does not have a direct heir, it is possible to select outstanding people from the collateral line to inherit the throne.”
After hearing the words, everyone in the room looked at the first little lord.
Xia Zoe: “…”
He couldn’t help but shook his leg, put the map back on the table, and said: “Why do I have to be a king? I can always be a lord and turn Jadayat into my territory.”
Fernandi and Walker glanced at each other: “The Lord Earl means…?”
Xia Zoe: “None of these six cities can be left to Bath Ridges. All of them must be included in my territory.”
“Not only that, mark all the roads, cities and other places that lead to Weissas and Fort Comoy, and send soldiers to attack them and garrison them.”
Since Buss Ridges is his absolute enemy, the initiative must be in his own hands.
Moreover, the number of black cavalry and white cavalry he had was completely beyond the reach of the king’s knights.
Only those lords who took refuge in Bass Ridges gathered all the knights in their territory into the royal city to have a duel.
But as long as they are broken one by one, the threat will be minimized.
The dangers and pursuits they had suffered in the royal city of Kaysri won’t just leave it alone. Keeping Buss Ridges’ life is always a disaster.
Xia Zoe: “In addition to paying attention to the situation in the royal city, Fernandi, you have ordered some soldiers to listen to the news of Gaynor, to prevent Bruno Green from contacting Bass Ridges, and send knights to Gadaat. support.”
Fernandi nodded: “Yes, Lord Earl.”
Xia Zoe is not worried that he will fail in the confrontation with Buss Ridges.
As mentioned before, there are not many knights that the lords can have.
For example, the duke of Gadaat has only one hundred to two hundred knights.
Xia Zoe’s conscription plan was originally designed to strengthen the defense of Wesas and Fort Comoy, and the soldiers strictly follow the methods of army training and continuously improve their physique and abilities every day.
From the number of people in a class to a row, and even between the levels, they cooperate with each other and practice frequently.
Xia Zuoyi did not believe that the soldiers in his territory would lose to the knights of the royal city.
Now time is the key.
As long as he takes the lead in capturing these six cities that have lost their lords, he can gain the upper hand.
