Volume II: Academy Chapter 0202: Confluence

From the expression of Grand Duke Heluo, it can be known that he has not received any news about the orc invasion.

Seeing this, Alice sighed slightly, and immediately pleaded: "Great King of the Prairie, for the sake of the centuries-old friendship between the two countries, hurry up and send troops to save the entire people of the Constantinople Empire." ”

After speaking, she looked in the direction of the Golden Silk Willow Province with some pain: "Now countless orc wolf cavalry are wreaking havoc on this grassland behind us, if you don't help again, they don't know how long they will be rampant." ”

When Grand Duke Heluo heard this, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he opened his mouth to explain: "Your Royal Highness, it's not that I don't believe what you say, but without the emperor's will, I must not send troops to the territory of the empire without authorization, can you understand?"

Renard pouted when he heard this, what don't you understand, it's like your house is a thief, and I can't see righteousness and courage when I see it, otherwise what if I am treated as a thief.

In the same way, if Grand Duke Heluo entered the territory of the empire to exterminate the orcs without permission, although his starting point was good, what would others think, and what would the emperor think?

Oh! I can come to my land as you want, and I still have so many soldiers, do you think that the great Constantinople Empire has no soldiers and no generals?

Anyway, the human heart is the most difficult thing to deal with.

Alice's expression was gloomy, he knew that what the other party said was reasonable, and he would not easily transfer troops into the territory of a neighboring country.

Grand Duke Heluo patted her on the shoulder to comfort: "Don't worry, since we have received the news, the ranger legions of the Principality of Heluo will not sit idly by, and I estimate that His Majesty the Emperor's envoy should already be on the way." ”

He turned his head to look at the mighty knight behind him, and said confidently, "No matter where the orcs hit, the great people of Heluo will expel them. ”

After speaking, he looked at Alice: "Do you want to go to my king's tent to rest, it is not far from there?" ”

If Renard were to decide, he would have to go there for lunch and then a good night's sleep.

However, in the face of Grand Duke Heluo's invitation, only Her Royal Highness Princess Alice can make a decision.

She shook her head slightly: "Thank you very much for the invitation, but my students are still anxiously waiting for my news, we have been separated for a long time, I am afraid that something will happen." ”

Grand Duke Heluo knew what she meant, and turned to the knights who accompanied him, saying, "Leave them enough horses and dry food to drink." ”

After the command, he gently hugged Alice: "I wish you a smooth journey, child." ”

Half an hour later, the group rode back on the road.

They first reached the Mandala Province in the east, then crossed the Great Rift Valley of the Red River along the bridge, and then headed northwest to the city of Golden Willow.

The crowd traveled day and night, and finally arrived at their destination on the tenth day.

The city is still the same city, but most of the business travelers have decreased, and most of the surrounding villages and towns are empty.

The gates were closed on all sides, except for the side gates, which could accommodate a small number of people, and dozens of heavily armed soldiers were arranged inside and out.

There were countless armor soldiers on the city walls, more than twice as many as in the past, and it was clear that the defenders of Golden Silk Willow City had received the news of the attack on the border town and began to be cautiously guarded.

Everyone walked on the streets of Dongcheng District, and the lively scene of a few months ago was long gone.

The news of the orc invasion has spread throughout the province of Golden Silk Willow, causing panic among the people, and everyone with some family backgrounds has dragged their families to choose to take refuge.

This invisibly accelerated the speed of everyone's march, which used to take dozens of minutes to walk, but now it is easy to reach by horse.

Ten minutes later, everyone arrived at the academy residence in Nancheng District.

Now the situation here is similar to that of other urban areas, a large number of soldiers have begun to impose martial law, and there are few ordinary people on the streets.

Ford was the first to notice everyone's whereabouts, and immediately ran out of the courtyard, shouting in surprise: "Mentor Alice, you have returned safely, and we are still worried about what will happen to you." ”

Seeing this fat man, the stone in Alice's heart finally fell to the ground, she smiled at the crowd rushing out, and said, "Everyone hasn't encountered any danger, right?"

Christopher nodded, and said in a flat tone: "I didn't encounter danger, in order to avoid risks, I took people to spare a big circle from the north, and I only returned here a few days ago." ”

Alice smiled with satisfaction: "That's good, everyone get ready, get a good night's sleep, and we'll leave here tomorrow." ”

"What, so fast?" the crowd looked at each other in surprise, puzzled faces.

"That's right. Alice affirmed: "Leave on time tomorrow morning, and don't wait for it." ”

Renard added: "All the towns near the Boleton Grassland have been slaughtered by the orcs, and if it is expected, they have gathered at least two or three hundred thousand wolf cavalry this time, and it seems that they are going to attack the entire province of Golden Silk Willow." ”

When all the students heard this, they all shuddered, and some people asked puzzledly: "The defense of Golden Silk Willow City is strong, and there are 300,000 defenders, we should not be in any danger, right?"

Alice was speechless when she heard this, and reached out and knocked on the other party's little head: "I'm afraid that it won't be long before the entire Golden Silk Willow City will be closed and no one will be allowed to enter or leave, do you plan to stay here for a few months?"

When the young student heard this, he immediately turned around and ran to the room to start packing up.

Compared to the bustling college district, there's really nothing to miss here, let alone stay for a few months.

As soon as the order to return to the academy was given, the students got busy, and with the joy of going home on their faces, it was obvious that they did not want to stay here any longer.

Renard looked at Robertson and the others and asked, "What are you going to do now?"

The sergeants looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

They were the private army of the House of Windsor, and now that the Earl of Al Owen had died in battle, the young men of the town had also been killed and wounded, and the remaining old and weak women and children had also fled to death, and they had no place to live.

Robertson was silent for a long time holding his backpack, and said: "I heard that the fleeing refugees are all concentrated in the military camp in Xicheng, and the old and weak women and children in Moonlight Town should also be there, I want to return these suicide notes to them." ”

Then he seemed to have plucked up great courage and asked weakly: "Captain, do you lack someone to help, I can do all the laundry and cooking." ”

Renard listened and thought for a moment, after all, they were comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side, and now that the other party was desperate to take refuge in him, how could he refuse ruthlessly.

He pinched his forehead and said, "Okay, I opened a ready-to-wear shop in the academy area, and now I just lack a few guards." ”

Hearing this, the rest of the sergeants all looked envious, and then looked at Renard with the same hope.

Renard looked around at everyone and asked a little speechlessly, "You don't all want to follow me, do you?"
