Chapter 225: Danger lurks
"Okay! now is not the time to talk about this, Alke, you now mobilize a hundred Fierce Lion Realm Iron Cavalry, intercept Mo Shen and the others at full speed, life or death, remember that the flag gun is the key, and if Duke Elfwan makes a move, you don't have a conflict with him, withdraw it first and then discuss it! Go!" Duke Allama said after groaning.
"Yes!" Alker said, leaving quickly.
In the woods, Mo Shen led the remnants of the knights towards Lion Lake City, but the speed was not fast, first of all, the terrain of the woods was complicated, and everyone had just experienced a fierce battle, physically and mentally exhausted, and the heavy armor pressed the war horses whirring.
"Teacher Luo, this is not a solution, most of our knights are injured, the most important thing is the war horse! I'm afraid that if we continue to hurry, before we reach Lion Lake City, our war horse will be exhausted to death!" Mo Shen said with a deep groan.
"With what I know about Duke Allama, if I don't succeed in a single blow, I'm afraid I will continue to send people here, and if I think it is good, I will definitely send the Knight Army of the Lion Realm to pursue, but I do have a note, that is, I don't know if Your Highness dares to try. Poro said with a smile.
Mo Shen smiled faintly and said: "Now that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, why don't I dare, I still hope that Teacher Luo Luo will guide me!"
"Your Highness is still so good at writing, Your Highness, look at the creek on the west side of us, and thirty miles across the creek is Payne Village, which is subordinate to Shihu City, I once helped them fight off horse thieves, and there is a friendship, we can go to Payne Village to rest, and Payne Village is only twenty miles away from Shihu City.
Very close, if Duke Elfwan is willing to help us, he will definitely send troops to support, but we can only bet that Duke Elfwan is willing to send troops. Poro said.
"Well, what you said is good, teacher, let's implement it according to your plan!" Mo Shen thought for a while and said.
Alker hurriedly stepped on his horse: "The whole army will attack with me!"
At this time, Mo Shen took the lead and rode across the creek, although the creek flowed quickly, but the depth was very shallow, and the group was all cavalry, so they quickly crossed the creek and rushed towards Payne Village.
The hundred Fierce Lion Realm knights led by Ark this time traveled lightly and quickly, and hurried all the way to the woods.
"Captain, according to the horseshoe prints, they have crossed the creek, and according to their march route should be headed towards the village of Payne!
Alke thought for a few seconds and then waved his hand and said, "Continue the pursuit!"
Mo Shen and the others had already crossed the woods at this time, and a small village could be faintly seen not far from the plain.
"Everyone hurry up and get to Payne Village before dark!" Mo Shen ordered.
At this time, in the City Lord's Mansion of Lion Lake City, not far from Payne Village, Duke Elfwan was discussing the next plan with his generals.
"My lord, His Highness Mo Shen and his party of seventeen have arrived at Payne Village, but Duke Allama's Alke led about a hundred Lion Realm knights to follow closely behind, and it will take about fifteen minutes to reach Payne Village!" a soldier hurriedly reported.
"You've heard that, who wants to go?" asked the Duke of Elfwan.
"My lord, my subordinates are willing to lead the attack!" said a burly man in bright silver armor and a giant battle axe on his waist.
"Okay, Yodel, you go, lead two hundred iron horsemen to Payne Village quickly, and take His Highness Mo Shen and his party back and forth to Lion Lake City, but remember, don't do it first, but if Ark makes the first move, you won't be killed!" said Duke Elfwan.
"Command!" yodle roared, hurrying out of the City Lord's Mansion.
After Yoder left, a man dressed as a scholar in the City Lord's Mansion said lightly: "My lord, have you made a decision? This move is a risky move, if it fails, we will eventually face the entire kingdom!"
"Hehe, have I taken this step, do you think that fellow Alama will let me go? He hasn't been thinking about my Lion Lake City for a day or two, and now His Highness is just a puppet, he owns the Long River Town and the Lion City, and Baron Montevo of Fort Shield is very close to Alama these days.
If we don't make a move sooner, sooner or later we will be eaten by him one by one, once he gets the banner gun and kills His Royal Highness Mo Shen, then Alfred II will be the first to take the throne, and then he Alama will be the first to attack me!" Duke Elfwan said lightly.
"Your Excellency, you are right, but how do you plan to place His Highness Mo Shen in the future? You must know that the old king only announced his identity before he died, and handed over the banner gun to him, and his subordinates did not have any support from forces, and the griffin knights also thought of the old king's affection, so they would help. The scholar said.
"Fadel, tell me what you think, you have been with me for more than ten years, I still know your talent, since you put it forward, you must have thought of a way. Duke Elfwan said.
"Haha, my lord can't hide anything from your eyes, in the Northern Snow Plains Crow Realm, backed by the Misty Mountain, there are many bandits and bandits on the Misty Mountain, I suggest that we escort His Royal Highness Mo Shen to the Snow Plain, so that Duke Alama's hand is not easy to stretch over. Fadell said with a smile.
"Then what if we take down His Highness Mo Shen and then take down the Banner Gun!" Duke Elfwan asked, squinting his eyes and gesturing with a gesture to wipe his neck.
If you do this, Duke Allama can directly crusade against us with the strength of the entire kingdom, and then we will become a rebel against the king, not only can we not kill His Highness Mo Shen, but also protect him all the way out of the Lion Realm Kingdom, and spread the news throughout the country!" Fadel said lightly.
"Why, what good is it for us?" asked Duke Elfvan.
"My lord, as long as His Royal Highness Mo Shen does not die for a day, and holds the banner and gun in his hand, the throne of the king of our Lion Realm Kingdom, he Alfred II will not be able to sit steadily, and the nobles in the kingdom will not be able to be united by Alama at all, so Alama will not be able to organize enough forces to deal with us at all.
On the contrary, we can take advantage of the chaos in the kingdom to recruit troops and accumulate our power, your younger brother Baron Godric now occupies, the largest city of Kelledan on the border with the Duchy of Dexia, and your eldest son, Baron Forsette, occupies Fort Kven.
Fort Kven is located at the junction of our town of Long River, and your two nephews, Baron Rainier and Baron Andrew, occupy Fort Amer and Fort Deerheart respectively, Fort Amer is right in the way of the border between you and Duke Brenus, and Fort Deerheart is in front of Lion City!
Now it can be said that Duke Alama can't help but gather the rest of the kingdom's soldiers and horses and send troops to attack at the same time, otherwise he wants to swallow us, which is delusional!
But once we really kill Mo Shen, whether there is a banner gun or not, Duke Brennus will definitely join forces with Duke Allama to declare war on us, so that we will be a battle of trapped beasts!" Fadel calmly analyzed.
"What you said makes sense, Duke Brenus, this old fellow, has always been worried about giving him Cliff Rock Bay instead of Lion Lake City, this old guy has been looking for an opportunity, but how can we help His Highness Mo Shen? Give him money or give him soldiers?" Duke Elfwan asked.
Faddell shook his head and said: "We will give all the money and soldiers, but we can't give too much, and when His Royal Highness Mo Shen and others arrive, give His Highness Mo Shen a thousand dinars and twenty recruits, and then send Deyoer to him, let them stay in our Lion Lake City for a day, and then we will send it to Changge Port overnight." ”
"A thousand dinars is nothing, twenty recruits are nothing, let alone twenty recruits, even two hundred is no problem, but to give Deyol to him the strength of Deyol has the ability to lead troops" Duke Elvwan hesitated.
