Two days later, on the main road leading to the south in the Twilight Mountains, Jessica, dressed in black leather armor, rode her black horse and stood guard by the side of the road, accompanied by a knight who was also dressed in black armor.

"Miss Jessica, our spies under the Marquis of Giber have not heard from the Queen, and the scouts scattered along the main road have not seen a similar procession, and they have not even found the horseshoe prints to the south, could she have not contacted Giber and simply abandoned Flange and ran away?"

Jessica shook her head and replied, "No way, Giber's troops are her support to retake Fran, and she will definitely contact Giber." That woman is definitely not someone who will give up easily, if she doesn't defend the royal capital, then she must have taken a detour from the Twilight Mountains, avoided our scouts and prepared to run south!"

The scar on the black-armored knight's face twitched. "My subordinates think that no matter how tenacious the queen is, she shouldn't think of relying on a thousand defenders to defend the royal capital...... We have 10,000 foot soldiers and nearly 1,000 knights in the vanguard alone, and choosing to defend the royal capital is no different from looking for death. ”

Jessica glanced at him and said lightly, "I said that she would most likely choose to defend the royal capital, but did I say that she would choose to defend the royal capital?"

The black-armored knight was stunned for a moment. "What do you mean...... The royal palace?"

"That's right. Jessica narrowed her eyes, carefully identifying the group of people on horseback in the distance, and lowered her eyes in disappointment when she realized that it was not the person she wanted to see.

"If she chooses to defend herself, she will definitely move all those who can fight to the palace. During the reign of the kings of France, the palace was repaired at least three or five times.

You have also seen that palace, after hundreds of years of accumulation, the outer wall is not worse than the city wall of the royal capital, in addition to the lack of moats, battlements, lookouts, and even arrow towers are not lacking, but the length to be defended is much shorter than the outer wall of the royal city, more than a thousand defenders will recruit enough people, and there is still hope for more than ten days. ”

The black-armored knight named Amirian recalled the walls of the palace, which were not only large and large stones, but also repeatedly rammed with three layers of dust, sand, and gravel, and crushed rock, although there were many inexplicable things brushed for the sake of beauty, but there was no doubt that they were terrifyingly strong.

If the queen really led people to retreat to the palace, it would be difficult for them to enter in a short time with the front army composed of men and knights, but to say that they could hold it for a week or two, Amilian felt that it was a bit exaggerated.

"You're right, retreating to the palace can indeed cause us a lot of trouble, but it's just trouble, as long as the big army comes over, that queen will be easily crushed to death by Lord Andy and you like a worm. ”

More than a dozen knights galloped across the main road, their flying hooves kicking up the dust. Jessica, who was on the side of the road, covered her face with her hand, stared at the backs of those knights and snorted coldly.

"Trouble? Do you see the food hoarded in the palace, the woman was clearly ready to defend herself, but gave up at the last minute. ”

She patted the dust on her body, and said with a solemn face: "That grain is enough for 10,000 people to last more than half a month, and there is still a lot of fuel in the warehouse, that woman should have planned to burn down the royal capital." If she did that, and destroyed all the external passages of the palace, then you should be staring at the royal capital right now, where is the chance to intercept her here?"

The black-armored knight's face changed when he heard this, and a slight sweat oozed from his forehead.

If Her Majesty the Queen chooses to set fire to the city, her own people can indeed only watch from outside the palace, and it is impossible to even get close in a short time, and food, supplies, and even drinking water will become a big trouble.

Squinting at the cold sweaty Amelian, Jessica said lightly: "As for why she gave up in the end, it's just because of limited food." If you want to defend the palace, you can only give priority to the young and strong, and more than half of the remaining old and weak women and children will die, and the weak woman can't give this order. You look down on her because she's running for her life?

A hint of envy flashed in Jessica's eyes. "In the past two years, she has led her troops to fight dozens of vicious battles, except for the time when the king secretly sold the granary and almost wiped out the whole army, which time was not a big victory?

Speaking of this, Jessica's cold face actually had two points of banter, but a pair of eyes had a faint coldness.

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank those barbarians on the grassland, if they hadn't suddenly fought with the Grand Duke of the North, I guess we would still not dare to move, and my father would have to be like that fat pig every day with the duke, and in order to stabilize him, he would marry me off. ”

Jessica gritted her teeth, her white hand gripping the hilt of the sword at her waist.

"That guy looked incredulous when I hacked him to death, first commanding and then crying and begging for mercy, just like the Anderson idiot yesterday. If it weren't for the people of the Church of Knowledge who came out and robbed everyone in the Duke's Palace, I would have killed that disgusting family completely!"

Amelian opened his mouth and didn't dare to speak. Miss Jessica has been arrogant since she was a child, and she is the most talented person in the Farrell family's generation, but it is a pity that her mother is only the maid of the Marquis, and she is a woman herself.

No matter how hard she tried, in the eyes of the Marquis, she was still inferior to her younger brother, who could only eat, drink and have fun, and even had the idea of marrying her to the Duke of Aden. Miss Jessica was able to let go of that little girl yesterday, and she must have seen her own shadow in her.

"Whew......" Jessica closed her eyes and exhaled the resentment in her chest, regaining her composure.

"I'm just saying this to let you know that although she is now being chased like a wild dog by us, you must not underestimate this woman. I used to think the same thing as you, that she must have no chance of turning the tables. But after looking at the fire oil in the palace warehouse, I changed my mind, this woman is the biggest unstable factor, and I must not let her live to join Jiber!"

Jessica said with a cold face, "There are five roads leading to the south in the Twilight Mountains, and there are two hundred professionals among the five hundred knights I brought this time, all of them have been sent out by me, every fifty professionals guard one road, and I and you of the second order guard one road, and we must let her die here!"
