Chapter 561: Lies (4)
Renault's recent life as a prisoner had cleared his mind, and he wanted to reclaim what belonged to him from his niece in one fell swoop, but after the persuasion of his still loyal men, he finally agreed to their advice - to escape with Whiteman, and then slowly plan to initiate a righteous verdict by the warriors lurking in the monastery.
He had already lost to Loria once, and he had summarized many reasons for his failure, the most important of which was that he ignored the correct advice and did not detect Loria's conspiracy in time - next time, he would not lose again, and he would not be merciful again, leaving Loria a chance to turn around.
As several warriors have said, before succeeding, he swallows his anger for a while, hides in the darkness, becomes a venomous snake waiting for the right moment like his enemies, and then, at the right time, strikes a fatal blow.
The four warriors protected Renault and Whitemane through the dark paths, with Balva at the lead, taking the lead to confirm the safety of the retreat, and it was he who used his blade to kill the damned jailer Mills...... Gradually, Renault noticed the anomaly, and the patrol passed by them several times, and they all took the right place to hide in the dark corners.
"Your Excellency, there are many companions loyal to you, who, although they have surrendered to the vile Loria, are not satisfied with her leadership...... Although she is good at intrigue, she is a wild child who has grown up outside, lacking the upbringing and talent necessary to become a leader. A middle-aged warrior covered in scars lowered his voice in resentment and tried his best to lower his voice and speak quickly, "She and her minions punished those of us who had dedicated their lives to the Crusaders at will, and put her few unknown friends in high positions...... I'm fed up with them. ”
Renault felt that this man was familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was.
"Honestly...... I'm not happy with what you did before. The middle-aged warrior's expression suddenly darkened, and his words caused Renault and Whitemayne to stop in surprise.
"Don't talk nonsense, Surueta, don't let rumors shake your loyalty as a warrior!"
The leader, Balva, grabbed the middle-aged warrior by the collar and shoved him into a corner, and the latter resisted angrily, and his voice grew louder. "It's not nonsense! I'm only loyal to the Scarlet Crusade!"
Several sentinels walked by from a distance, and they closed their mouths in time, and froze in place, when the sentries were far away. The middle-aged warrior suppressed his voice again, "Loria will destroy the crusaders." He glared at Renault viciously, "I am willing to sacrifice my life to give you a chance again, and I hope you can do better than her." ”
Renault clenched his fists trembling with anger. Whitemane put his hand lightly on his back, and he squeezed out a small smile and said, "I'll prove it to you, now, let's go." ”
Indeed, there were many people who were willing to help Renault in the shadows, and not only did they get new armor blueprints, but they even manipulated one or two patrols in key locations...... Approaching the inevitable walls of the abbey, the team saddled with the task of absconding found hooks and ropes from the predetermined location, and it took a lot of effort for the weakened Renault and Whitemayne to climb over the wall, and on the other side of the wall. The two sentries lay motionless in a pool of blood, and the killer who answered Renault's party nodded silently and joined the group.
The new commander's rule was still full of holes, and she sent most of them out...... It was not until Renaud and his brave warriors descended the mountain that the flames lit up in the monastery, and it took another long time for the pursuing party to be sent out.
As Renault and his party crossed the valley, Loria was lying on her bed and screaming in pain, and she had been fighting with Ahri earlier, only to be jerked to the ground by the big fox. Sprained his waist.
"The person who provided them with tools and weapons has been identified, and the centurion who tampered with the patrol plan has also been caught. Lagnis reported the results of the search with a blank face, and it was a remiss of his duty to have so many traitors hiding in the army, and he glared at his apprentice. The little girl who had lost a hand was tugging at the corner of her dress, looking at Loria worriedly.
"Pain, pain, pain...... Don't blame yourself for Raninis. Loria's face furrowed, and she remembered to comfort her intelligence director a little, but the latter's face darkened when she heard the new nickname, "It's better to find out early than late, and give those people to Veshas quietly." Let's see if he can ask something and throw him into the atonement. ”
"You have forgotten the procedure of the jì trial. Ragnes sarcastically uttered the word trial, "In any case, the price is too great...... The stakes are also too great. ”
"Nothing, nothing, solve one problem at a time. Loria waved her hand absently, "If you want to drive some, the chaos will return sooner or later, at least I don't have to worry about what to do with Renault." ”
"I hope a qiē is as you wish. Ragnes said coldly, glaring at Chestnut again, who reluctantly left Loria's side.
"Come play with me again...... Woohoo...... It hurts! Don't make a fuss...... What are you going to do!Go away! Stupid fox!"
Loria's voice followed, and it looked like she was going to recuperate for a few more days.
……
The grey sky weighed everyone's hearts, especially Renault and Whitemane, who had at first chatted a few words on the way to evade the pursuers, but were now extremely weak...... The two of them hadn't been out of the monastery for too long, and they had long since become unaccustomed to life in the wasteland, and the injuries of captivity and the constant pressure of the pursuing force made them look haggard and unkempt.
Loria Mograini pushed the line to the eastern shore of the lake, leaving them with a very bad few days...... With no boat, she could only swim across the clear lake, and an undead spirit grabbed Whitemayne's leg from underwater, and she was nearly killed.
Even in the summer, the dead land still did not feel the slightest heat, and the undead canopy blocked the sunlight, and the night became especially cold, and the undersupplied team struggled to move forward, and the thorn-headed Suruetta was scratched by the undead in order to save Whitemane, his wounds were quickly infected, and he died while they were still debating whether to leave him behind.
His death was a relief for everyone...... Renault finally fell asleep briefly in pursuit, he should not have suspected Balva, they had known each other for a long time, from the days when the Scarlet Crusaders were still in their prime, and the latter had worked for him discreetly...... Although it was not an important position, Balva was never dissatisfied.
The clothes are not as good as new, and the people are not as good as the old.
"They must have thought we were going south, but we were ......going north," Balva smiled contemptuously as he checked the water-soaked map in his hand, "Loria-Mograini...... Hehe......" (To be continued.) )
