First Entry into the Continent Chapter 114: Ravel's Background
Sure enough, it was discovered... Lan Keke turned his head and looked at the knight Lint who was the leader of the other party with difficulty, and then moved his gaze to the trembling man beside him, who was the attendant who received them in the hostel before: "It's you who told the secret, squire"
"Yes... I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness Princess, I didn't mean to" The squire just heard the knight next to him suddenly say Her Royal Highness Princess Yaolan, and he was immediately frightened to the point that his feet went limp, and he almost fell to the ground, and seeing the posture, these Ford knights seemed to have come to hunt her down.
When receiving Ayton and Lan Coco before, the attendant saw that Ayton was covered in blood and had a bad face, and he was leading a war horse with the Ford family crest next to him, coupled with Lan Coco's disrespectful words to Vnovic, which actually made him a little suspicious in his heart.
However, it was not long before the young man, covered in blood, changed into clean clothes, walked out of the room, told him not to go up and disturb the magician, and he himself bought another horse from the inn and set out on his way to Thorn City alone.
Thinking that not long ago, a group of Ford family knights was stationed here, as if waiting for some order, curiosity drove him to find the place where those Ford family knights stayed, and when the other party heard the blue-clothed magician, and her blue eyes, long sky blue hair, and beautiful appearance, he immediately showed a strange expression.
The squire was forced to return to his inn with the knight squad, and the scene just took place.
Lan Coco looked at the more than fifty Ford Family knight squads in front of him, and a sense of helplessness rose to his heart... Ayton, where are you?
"Your Royal Highness Princess, my Marquis sincerely invites you to be a guest in Thorn City, it seems that Her Royal Highness Princess has never been to Thorn City, I hope you don't refuse the kindness of Lord Marquis" Lin T stepped forward politely to say hello, but his eyes were full of threat.
“...... Go to Thorn City, right" Lan Coco thought for a moment, but did not reply for the time being.
"Yes, Your Royal Highness Princess, please rest assured, your subordinates will try their best to ensure your safety, and I hope Her Royal Highness will cooperate"
The order given to them by the Marquis was to bring the little princess to Thorn City, after all, the other party was the princess of Bright Blue, and she was still a fourth-order magician, and Lin T did not dare to do anything out of the ordinary.
This group of knights is not the Ford family knights who followed the young master of Simmel and were driven crazy by Ayton.
"Prepare a carriage for me, and I'll follow you to Thorn City," Lan Coco decided, hoping that he would definitely meet Ayton.
Hearing that she was so easy to compromise, Lin Te glanced at Lan Coco in surprise, and then sneered in his heart, the princess of Yaolan is nothing more than that.
"No problem, Your Highness Princess" Lint asked a knight to go to the town to buy a carriage, and then looked at Lan Coco, and his words became solemn: "We just want to be free, and if you cooperate, we will all be safe"
Lan Keke smiled indifferently: "I know this, after all, what my father and the emperor have done to the Land of Thorns, I also know it very well in my heart."
Lin Te was stunned for a moment, and took a deep look at Lan Coco: "Thank you very much for the cooperation of Her Royal Highness the Princess"
Then he looked at the innkeeper next to him, he already knew the news that the Marquis was about to rebel, it was very remote, and there were not many pedestrians on the road...
The attendant immediately understood Lint's thoughts, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "My lord, we have always been loyal to the Marquis, and we will never say nonsense, please spare your life!"
Seeing this scene, Lin Te sighed slowly, stepped forward and patted the attendant on the shoulder: "Don't worry, you and I are both from the Land of Thorns, anyway, it won't take long for this news to be announced, and the lives of the people of our Land of Thorns will also become better, get up!"
When the squire heard this, he immediately thanked him again and again, and realized that he had come to inform the Marquis that it was the right choice.
Seeing this, Lan Coco couldn't help but wonder in his heart that it was right to let this land re-establish a new country... Still wrong.
.......
North of the Pingxi Mountains, where the Third Army of the Snow Leopard Cavalry Regiment was temporarily stationed, Romeda silently looked at the envelope in his hand, his eyes flickered, and finally sighed deeply.
"My lord, is the war about to begin?" said Adjutant Da Vinci, leaning in slightly, cautiously asked.
"I don't know, but we're going to do it by tonight... Turning over the Pingxi Mountains," Romeda handed the envelope to Leonardo da Vinci.
Da Vinci glanced at it, and it was nothing more than saying that let them snow leopard third knights, before sunset tonight, cross the Pingxi Mountains... Then stand by.
Romeda smiled slightly: "It seems that those princes and nobles don't know very well, they just have the idea of temptation, and now they need to have contact with that marquis." ”
Da Vinci looked pensive: "According to the intelligence, except for the land in the south, almost the entire land of thorns is now under the control of that Fnovic"
"Vnovich?
"Yes, my lord, because the army he led is very united, but I really don't understand that he has the confidence to rebel."
Romeda smiled indifferently: "Who knows this? Anyway, I'll obey the order first."
.......
Ayton galloped along the wide road, leading another hostel to buy a good breed horse, and he rode back and forth in the process. Be sure to get to the City of Thorns before the gates close.
At this time, he didn't know that a few miles behind him, Lan Coco was sitting alone in the carriage, surrounded by more than fifty Ford family knights.
Lint rode his horse and carriage and followed, "Your Royal Highness Princess, take the liberty of asking, do you know where the young master of my family is now?"
"I don't know, I guess I'm still wandering around in the Asahi Mountains," Lan Coco replied coldly.
Lint remembered what the squire had told him about the bloodied young man, and his eyes were thoughtful, and he didn't ask any further.
.......
"Captain Robert, how long do we have to standby?" Count Rust Wiley's knight captain, Joseph looked at Richard Robert, the commander of the Second Knights of Bright Blue, quietly looking at Richard Robert, the commander of the Second Knights of Bright Blue: "My Lord Count is still being detained in Thorn City"
Early this morning, Joseph, a loyal subordinate of Count Rust Willy, sorted out more than 1,000 elite knights in the territory, and joined up with the 5,000 Bright Blue Knights led by Richard, trying to attack Thorn City, take down the rebel Vornovic, and rescue Lord Count Rust.
But the truth is unpredictable....
Richard's face was ugly, he sighed deeply, and handed him the order he had just received in his hand: "Your Excellency Joseph, you and I are also old friends, it's not that I don't help you... It's a military order that is difficult to do."
Joseph took the parchment with a gloomy face, and after reading it, he threw the military order aside, and said angrily: "Still waiting for backup? Wouldn't it be good to take Thorn City in one go, we now have 6,000 elite cavalry, and Vnovich only has 2,000 knights at most, plus the garrison and militia will never exceed 15,000, and he is completely capable of fighting with it."
Each nobleman will have a private army, but there will be a limit to the number, 5000 for dukes, 2000 for marquises, and 1000 for counts.
But in fact, each knight will be followed by a few servants as a reserve force, so the Marquis's regular army of Thorn City is almost about 10,000 people, most of which are used to guard Thorn City and the Marquis's Mansion, that is, the Thorn City garrison.
The garrison of Thorn City belongs directly to the Marquis of Vnovic, although there are 10,000 people, but the combat effectiveness is far lower than that of the elite cavalry, and when he does not react, the Bright Blue Vanguard Army can completely inflict a heavy blow on the traitor and seriously suppress the enemy's morale.
The ones who were sent to hunt down Ayton before were the elite of the 2,000 thousand knights.
"Hmph, at all costs... Take away the control of the Land of Thorns" Joseph then looked down and couldn't help sneering twice: "Even if it's a little princess, would you rather give up!"
"It's hard to do it, I'm sorry" Richard slowly closed his eyes, he had already guessed what the Emperor Winston was thinking.
Because Count Rust Willy was overindulged in his youth and still has no sons, the land of thorns is about to be reshuffled, and the king wants to completely control this treasure land in his own hands.
As for the reported little princess Lan Coco, it is likely to fall into the control of Funovic, and the king's decision is also... At all costs.
Sure enough, the emperor's family has no family affection. Once the Thornlands lose control, collusion with the endangering Kingdom of Swisston is a threat to the entire Bright Blue.
And a royal princess with a little magical talent, compared with the safety of the kingdom, it is conceivable which is more important.
"Hmph" Joseph clenched his hands into fists and slammed the table in front of him: "We don't have to listen to this order, let's go and save the Earl first"
With that, Joseph turned around and walked out of the tent, but Richard's cold voice was heard behind him.
"Stop" The two Bright Blue soldiers immediately blocked the exit of the big tent.
Joseph turned his head coldly: "What's wrong?"
"It is also mentioned in the military order that I will command the whole process of this incident" Richard slowly opened his eyes and stared at the knight of the Willie family seriously: "So if you leave now, you will be treated as... Treason"
Joseph glanced at the other generals of the Bright Blue Knights in the tent with an indifferent expression.
He took a deep breath and sighed, "...... I see, we, the Willie family, a thousand knights, are ready to obey the orders of Captain Richard."
After saying this, Joseph took off his helmet, and a strand of white hair covered his vision, and suddenly he felt a little older, he had grown up watching Rust Willy, and since the death of the old earl, he has been doing his best to assist Rust.
Except for a bit of mischief when I was younger, everything else was satisfying. Now there is no viscount, no successor, and there is nothing to do about it.
Ravel on the side suddenly stood up and said to Captain Richard: "Dear Commander Richard, my friend is still missing, please allow me to go first."
Gorrik glanced at Ravel in surprise, feeling that something was wrong with him today, but also stood up: "Thank you for saving your life yesterday, it's time for us to leave"
"Won't the two Excellencies stay for a few more days?" Richard looked at the two fifth-order powerhouses, and secretly regretted in his heart, if these two people were brought under his command, then...
"No need" Ravel bowed slightly, obviously decided.
"Alright, I wish you two to find your friends soon" Richard didn't want to stay long, waving his hand to get out of the way for the two soldiers at the account gate.
Joseph suddenly set his eyes on Ravel, who ignored him, and just as Ravel passed by him, the chief knight of the Willy family whispered tentatively, "Ravel?"
Ravel's figure shook slightly, ignored it, and left the tent without looking back, when the voice fell into Glick's ears, who thought for it.
The two of them left the Bright Blue Knights barracks, and Grek finally couldn't help but ask: "Why did you leave suddenly, they probably won't be able to find Ayton now."
"No, I want to go to Thorn City," Ravel said suddenly.
"Why?" said Glick, remembering Joseph's low voice in the tent, he knew Ravel's name!
"Are you—" Glick hesitated as he thought of his family background.
"My name... Actually, it's Ravel Willy," Ravel slowly gave the answer.
