"You came just in time, I received information that Andrew has been sent to the front. The Count stood behind the table in the tent, and the chair fell to the ground. He threw a crumpled piece of paper into the brazier, and the light of the fire reflected his face. "Saloyan, has being with elves made your intelligence lower as well?

"As I asked, those assassins seem to have plans to assassinate Andrew. Feige said, "Do you want to send him a letter quickly, or simply send a guard?"

"No, I have a better option. The Count nodded to Feiqi, "Yes, I want you to come over." When it comes to dealing with emergencies, you have more ideas and means than your brother. And this transfer is right under the nose of the Grand Duke, and it certainly can't be fanfare, so I won't have many people to shoot you - but it's all very strong. ”

"Then what are you going to do here? The best way to defeat the Hall family is to defeat you. ”

"I only represent the past of the Hall family. The Count said, "Without further ado, the situation ahead is not clear, and the sooner you set out, the better." By the way, did the assassin die after the interrogation?"

"One is dead, the other is alive, and nothing is known. ”

"It's good, you didn't disappoint me. The Count waved his hand: "Go to your brother, beware of those villains who want to get close to him, and don't worry if necessary." Even if you make a mistake, as long as you two brothers are okay, it can be solved. ”

By the time we left the tent, the horses were ready. One person and three horses, plus the five knights accompanying them, this is already a large team. "Do you have any problems riding horses at night?" asked Feige.

The eyes of the five men lit up like five wolves. This kind of eye Feiqi was a little familiar, so he asked, "Have you also experienced the strengthening ritual?"

"We can't admit it. One of the knights said, "Do you want to continue asking, or shall we hurry up?"

"Let's go, then. Feige probably understood that Count Hall did not tell these knights his identity, in other words, he could trust these knights to protect his son, but they were all sacrificeable and did not need to know too much.

The knights took the lead, and Feige followed, which was more labor-saving, and he also had time to think. The education of the Hall family was clearly polarized, with the Templars charging, fighting, and defending in the open, and the royal earls on the political and intriguing side, calculating everything in terms of benefits and costs. But why should we educate them separately like this? Since Andrew is the eldest son, why not teach him everything and let him inherit it? As the second son, Feige Hale only needs to learn those things above board, whether it is to go to the church to be a Templar, or simply to serve as a helper and backup for the eldest brother, it is also very good?

It's confusing, but there's another thing that Feige doesn't understand: putting the two sons together can increase the damage when there is danger ahead! On the one hand, Feige does want to help protect and save Andrew, but on the other hand, he is not really a "counter-assassination expert". What was the purpose of Earl Hall's actions?

The stars in the sky blinked, they didn't know the answer, and the horses around them galloped forward, and the sound of horses' hooves was as dense as raindrops on glass, and they certainly didn't know the answer. Fitch noticed that they were off the road and were walking along the path of the farmland, and asked, "Where are we going from here?"

"According to the intelligence from the front, Gfate has been taken down, and the archduke's forward has crossed Gfate and is approaching Feinberg's parliament city of Nehir, with Andrew in the front. One of the knights replied that everyone's horse speed had not slowed down. "The Earl thinks that the speed of the march is too fast, and Andrew's current situation is not stable, and there are too few people around him, so he is worried that it is a conspiracy. So ......"

"He was just an observer on the front line, following Marquis Asters Zieg, how did he suddenly become a striker?"

"He asked for it on his own initiative, for unknown reasons, and it is likely that he was instigated or persecuted. The intelligence is very urgent, so it is not particularly detailed. The knight replied, "This time, we must avoid not only Feinberg's men and horses, but also Aria's army, so we can only take this path." When we get around Gfate, we don't have to hide, and then turn back to the main road. ”

"It's safe, but how much slower?"

"About two to three hours. A knight said.

"No, I can't. Feige shook his head: "Choose the shortest and fastest path and take the least amount of time." I'm here to solve the problem that was discovered: no one will see us. ”

"The success or failure of the mission is related to the safety of the eldest son Andrew, are you really sure?"

"Trust me. "The Count says you will listen to my commands. ”

In the darkness of the night, the knights immediately turned around and returned to the nearest main road, and then began to accelerate. Feige took the cat-teasing stick that Shani had delivered, and then cast an illusion on the bumpy horseback, wrapping the cavalry with the surrounding scenery. He projects the scenery "behind" onto "in front of him", in all directions, thus making himself invisible.

There are many flaws in such invisibility, and the image of the illusion will have all sorts of distortions, blurring, and shaking, but now that it's night, these shortcomings are acceptable. The processing of sounds was much simpler than images, the silence spell erased the sound of most of the horses' hooves, and dozens of horses galloping were now like two or three horses walking on the grass, making them much less likely to be spotted.

"Remember, don't rush into the crowd, don't get out of touch or scatter, leave the rest to me. Feige pointed ahead with his staff: "If something happens and it may be discovered, I'll summon a mist to block all vision." When the time comes, follow me, absolutely, and I will take you through the fog and out of tracking. ”

"Your Excellency, will you summon a thick fog?" said one of the knights suddenly, "There are two of us who can see through the fog too. ”

"That would be more secure. Feige said: "Towards Andrew, forward!"

There were no people on the roads in the dark, and in addition to the chaos of the soldiers, even those who fled from the village knew to avoid the main roads, choose hidden paths that only the locals knew about, and hide at the slightest movement. Fitch only encountered a few waves of Aria soldiers patrolling on the road, and then they rushed right past them like a gust of wind.

The soldiers were terrified, often shouting "ghosts, ghosts, knights!" and the like after the cavalry had passed. Thinking about it, it was true, first from the faint sound of idle horses' hooves from far and near, and then the vision blurred for a while, and by this time Feige had rushed to their side. Twenty or so horses would suddenly pop out before their eyes, gallop past with a thunderous hoof, and then immediately disappear again in the dark night obscured by illusion, and even the sound would disappear again.

Before the patrolling soldiers could report the news of the ghost riders, Feige and the others had already bypassed Gfate. Behind them, the flames burst into the sky, illuminating the figures of the last recalcitrant soldiers. It has to be said that the surprise attack of the Principality of Aria this time was a complete victory, and the fall of Gfate meant that the army of Feinberg, which was originally in the front line, had lost its backup and supplies, and was already at an extreme disadvantage of being besieged. They can try to break through, but they don't know how many troops have been drawn from the front line, and whether they will pursue them behind them. And, even if it was to break through, in which direction? By the time Feinberg figured out the situation, Nehir would probably have fallen.

The parliamentary city of Nehir was the political center of Feinberg, from which all executive orders were derived. In other words, Feinberg's powerful people were concentrated here, none of them were supreme rulers, but their networks were connected to the front line, to the castles, lords, and chambers of commerce in various places of Feinberg. If a detour from the lighthouse is to pull out Feinberg's crotch, then the capture of Nehir is to amputate Feinberg's cervical vertebrae. Heads that have lost control of their bodies are incapable of fighting power, and this is exactly the tactical point set by Grand Duke Saloyan and Marquis Asters Zieg.

Forward, forward, change horses halfway, let go of the horses that have been exhausted to the extreme. They may go back on their own, or they may become captured by some soldier, but it doesn't matter, it's just the cost to get there. Fitch overtook the advancing soldiers along the way, then crossed the battlefield that was being blocked, and under the cover of invisibility, silence, and fog, he kept advancing, until he finally came to Nahir, where he saw the makeshift camp of the vanguard of the Grand Duke of Aria in the distance.

The knightly banner of the Hall family was flying in the camp, at least everyone was in the right place. Andrew must not use the banner of the Lighthouse Leader of the Cardinal Territory this time, that would cause a huge political turmoil, and the family flag has no problem with this.

"Battlefield Courier!Battlefield Courier!" the knight beside Feige raised a blue and white checkered banner with his spear. In this campaign, the Courier's agreed flag is this, it does not guarantee the passage of the various levels, but at least it will not be killed by the bow and arrow in front of the level. Once at the camp, Feige could no longer rush in on horseback, so it was important to have the Courier flag and the passage of the command beforehand - these were small things to Earl Hall.

While the guards at the gate checked the paperwork, Feige observed the makeshift camp with a global view. The commander's tent was being erected in the center of the center, and the black swift standing on the sheep's horn was the emblem of Marquis Asters Zieg, indicating that he was in command at the front line.

By this time the sky had begun to shine, and the morning sun had risen from the horizon, using its pink fingers to flick away the black clouds. If you look closely, those "clouds" are actually floating from the battlefield of Gfate, the product of blood and fire mixed and burning. The real clouds looked beyond Nahir to the western sky, white clouds dotted the still slightly purple sky, and the stars twinkled their last rays. When the sun's brilliance made the starlight disappear, they were let go.

"Where did Andrew go?" there were no knights under the knightly banner of the Hall family, only servants and apprentices who remained to take charge of the miscellaneous work. Without Feige making a move, the accompanying knight grabbed a man by the collar and said viciously: "Say it quickly, don't rub it!"

"He went into town. There is a team of bishops in the city, and his lord is there to protect him from the fighting. ”

"Protect the Bishop, who's going to protect him?" Feige looked left and right, but fortunately the camp didn't appear to have left in a hurry, and the people who left were at least fully armed. "Any idea where he is in the city?"

"It should be near the Temple of the Goddess of Truth Thunder, due west of the city. The servant said hurriedly.

"Damn, we're in the northeast, and we're going around half the city. "Feige has been running around all night without rest, and most of the events are still maintaining magic spells, so he feels like his head is beating now. "You can't stop, just pack light. The more this coincidence increases, the stronger the bad premonition becomes!"

"I agree with you, let's go!"

Thankfully, these people left relatively quickly. As soon as they had gone on their way, the Marquis of Astus Zieg sent his own soldiers to inquire about the messenger, and asked the messenger to report to the Great Horde at once, and he threw himself into the air. And as soon as they left the camp gate, the trumpets sounded behind them, and the army was going to take advantage of the dawn to launch an all-out assault, without preparing the council city with any hope.

In fact, the vanguard had already rushed into the city under the cover of night. After all, there were only a few people who could see clearly in the dark night, so they were not many in number, and the purpose was only to control the city gates and other communication arteries in the outer city, and hold out until dawn when the army took over, and then attacked the core castle located in the south of the city. Fei Qi and the others just took advantage of this gap: the military horn meant the beginning of a full-scale attack, and Fei Qi came from the direction of the barracks, so he was mistaken for the marquis's vanguard, so no one stopped them at all, and they just let them go.

The city was panicked and chaotic, with white sheets, handkerchiefs and panties hanging everywhere, and people busily destroying Feinberg's emblem, trying to hide their belongings and weighing what they could do to save their lives. As the Feige and other cavalry entered the city, the screams followed the way, and the people threw down their belongings and fled, the doors and windows closing quickly on either side of them. In every war, the people of the outer city lacked protection and did not have time to hide in the castle, so such a reaction was not surprising.

The inner castle was heavily guarded, and the soldiers were busy preparing equipment and supplies to defend the city on the city walls. This time the attack was too sudden, and the inner castle was under-manned and unprepared, and even the commanders were insufficient. The rapid loss of the outer city wall and the city gate made the inner castle dare not let a person enter, so it could only put down the iron gate and lock the gate, putting on a stubborn and stubborn posture, at least to protect the city lord. They saw a troop of cavalry passing through the city from east to west, spreading fear and threat along the way, so they fired with the giant crossbows at the head of the city.

However, the crossbow had just been installed and put into combat readiness, and there was no test firing, and the crossbow was very off, but it only penetrated the front door of a pot shop on the side of the road, making it loud inside, adding to the screams and exclamations. Feige frowned, he couldn't be beaten by a giant crossbow along the way, what if there was a crossbowman like Giles in it?

So, he returned fire on horseback, and a fireball flew in a parabola. He didn't have a good head, and the fireball was at least ten meters away from the crossbow. However, Feiqi was lucky, and he used his divine grace every day to obtain the blessing of the goddess.

He hit the soldier who was carrying the oil, knocked him down, and then set fire to four clay pots filled with the oil. The explosion occurred, and a huge fireball rose over the city walls under the impetus of the shock wave, and the fire began to spread. The knights shouted hello, then closed their mouths and continued to rush forward.

They finally saw Andrew, who was fine, confronting one group and another group in front of the temple. There was a guy on the opposite side with a great axe, standing on the ground as tall as a knight on a horse, and seemed to be the leader of the opposite team.
