Chapter 511: Alia is missing
However, due to the rebels in the Camelot Kingdom, the Duke of Vallar did not dare to mobilize all his troops back, and some nobles were left behind the rebels to prevent them from sneaking up on their backs.
Arthur looked out at the castle in the distance, something he hadn't seen since he left it as a child.
At this moment, Gawain suddenly rushed into Arthur's room, holding on to the door frame and panting to say something.
Arthur looked at Gawain, who was in a mess, and hurriedly asked, "Gawain?" What happened? ”
Gao Wen said intermittently: "Ah...... Pander to...... Alia ...... Alia she ......"
As soon as Arthur heard that this was about Alia, he immediately rushed to Gawain's side, grabbed his shoulder and said angrily, "Alia, what's wrong with her?" ”
Gawain didn't care about Arthur's tone, and said eagerly, "Aria, she...... She's missing! ”
"What!" Arthur was like an angry lion, his golden hair fluttering with his rage, like a lion's mane.
He shouted in a rage, "How the hell did she disappear!" Why don't you keep an eye on her! ”
Gawain lowered his head guiltily and said, "At that time, Alia and you ran away in anger, and I wanted to chase her, but you also told me to leave her alone......"
"I thought she would go back to the barracks, so I didn't pay much attention, but I didn't expect to go to her the next day and tell her not to be angry with you, and then I found out that she was missing!"
Arthur, who was originally angry, listened to Gawain's explanation, and gradually calmed down, he knew that in the final analysis, it was his own fault.
Arthur calmed down for a moment, and then said to Gawain, "Then you didn't send someone to look for it?" ”
Gawain said sadly and guiltily: "I have already sent someone to look for it, I have sent people to look for it for twenty kilometers around, but I have not found Princess Alia!" ”
Arthur sat weakly in his chair, rubbed his eyes and temples, and then said weakly, "Send more people to find ...... Be sure to find her! ”
"Go ahead!" After Arthur finished speaking, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes without saying a word.
Gawain looked at Arthur worriedly, the decisive battle with the Duke of Vallar was imminent, and Arthur's state worried him a lot.
However, he knew that Arthur was very sad at this time, so he left the room without saying anything, and arranged for someone to find Aria.
On that day, hordes of soldiers appeared thirty or even forty kilometers in the perimeter, searching from day to night, and they searched through the forest and the surrounding plains with torches.
Even the dragon princes, cavalrymen, and knights dreamed that you were not wearing armor, and were lightly armed with torches looking for Alia's whereabouts.
It can be said that Alia's disappearance directly affects the hearts of thousands of people.
At this time, Alia was trudging through the forest, and she couldn't find her way back at this time, even if she was just angry when she left.
But now, even if she wanted to go back, she couldn't go back, the forest was pitch black, and if it weren't for the moonlight falling to the ground through the dense leaves, the forest would really be out of sight.
Her little face had been cut several times, and her gorgeous clothes had become embarrassed at this time, and she was hungry after walking all day, but she could not find any food to satisfy her hunger.
Hungry and tired, she fainted in the midst of a dense forest full of wild beasts.
If you listen closely, you can hear the horror of the forest at this time.
The sounds of insects foraging, snakes spitting letters from trees, the cries of nocturnal birds, and the cries of wild animals form a midnight symphony in the forest.
But at this time, a pair of hands dragged Alia's delicate and delicate body and hugged her.
Early the next morning, Gawain returned to the manor with the army tired, and Arthur was also tired, apparently he had not slept all night.
Seeing that Gawain had brought someone back, he hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Did you find Alia? ”
Gawain's face was very haggard, and he shook his head weakly and said, "No...... I've searched all the thirty kilometers around, but I haven't found any trace of Her Highness Alia! ”
When Arthur heard the news, he sat down in his chair at once, as if he had been drained of his whole strength, and leaned back on the back of the chair with his eyes blank.
Gawain looked at Arthur with worried eyes, and said without words, "Arthur...... I know you're very sad...... But...... The war is about to begin, this is a war related to our fate in the future, you have to cheer up......"
Arthur listened to Gawain's persuasion, took a deep breath, and then suddenly got up and said, "Don't worry, I won't let anything affect the war in a month!" ”
His expression was resolute and resolute, but if you looked closely, you could see that there was still a hint of sadness in his dark blue pupils.
He said to Gawain: "The soldiers are tired after a busy night, today I will give them a holiday, let them rest and rest!" ”
"You and Bedwell, as well as Lancelot, each with fifty Red Dragon Guards, patrols the east, west, south, and three sides of the manor, and I'm afraid that my despicable and cunning uncle will sneak attack us while we are not paying attention!"
"Forget it, you give the patrol task to the two of them, you go and check the delivery of grain and grass, don't let the enemy cut off at sea!"
The grief in Arthur's heart did not affect his decision and judgment, and he continued to issue orders in an orderly manner.
At this time, Alia had just opened her eyes, and she was horrified to find that she was no longer in the original place.
She glanced around and saw a fire beside her that had just been extinguished.
The first thing Alia did was to check that her clothes were in good shape, and luckily her gorgeous clothes, which were scratched by tree branches, showed no signs of being taken off, indicating that she had not been violated.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, a warm male voice sounded from behind her: "You're awake, eat something quickly!" ”
She was startled, quickly turned around, and looked at the tall man in front of her vigilantly.
She took a closer look at this person, and saw that this person was about 1.8 meters tall, his brown hair looked very neat, and he was wearing a red-bottomed iris smock, which was set off by a layer of well-made chain mail.
Wearing a good sword at his waist, he looked like a knight, but when he appeared in this wilderness, he looked a bit like a wandering knight.
Itinerant knights are completely different from regular knights, one is a regular army with their own fiefdom and a stable income, and the other is a permanent residence, no stable income, and all depend on some other source of income for their livelihood.
Anxious for other sources of income, this includes robbery, theft, and murder and arson.
