By the time Müller sensed danger, they were less than five miles from the Nara.

Although the Palci army was very stealthy, it could not hide from Müller's eyes. Now Müller was faced with a dilemma: the road to the agreed place had been blocked by the Palchi army, so it was necessary to take a detour, but the detour would delay more time, which would increase the danger, because the longer the delay was, the more likely it would be that the Palchi army would arrive later; The second is that King Arul's physical strength has been exhausted after a long and rapid advance, and it is no longer possible for the old king to use his previous speed to evade the search of the Palci army. But it would be too dangerous to force a breakthrough.

If the waiting ship was to change the place of action, it would have to send a signal, but this would be tantamount to telling the Palci army their location. How exactly should we deal with the current situation?

"My lord, please let me leave a signal to tell the ship to wait at an alternate location." One of his subordinates suggested.

Mueller hesitated and nodded. Although this is tantamount to putting his subordinates to death, it is the safest way for now.

Müller and King Airul rushed to the alternate rendezvous point, while the subordinate waited for them to be far away and lit the torches for communication.

"Please wait a minute, Lord Muller." King Airul said with a sudden pause.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please. ”

"I don't think there's going to be an escape. Our opponent is Polka, and he is well aware of his abilities, and since he has sent troops along the Nanra River to hunt down, it means that he has the insight that we will flee by water. Therefore, he will never be deceived by such a ploy. Instead of going all out to hunt down the sender, he will intensify the search along the river. If the ship arranged by the Qing is discovered by them, it will be immediately attacked with all their might. Once the ship is damaged, we will lose the chance to escape. ”

"It's a possibility." Mueller nodded.

Arul continued, "Therefore I believe that it is impossible for us to escape by water, and that it is better to let the ship set sail as soon as possible, so that at least Alfret can get out safely." ”

"Then how is Your Majesty going to get out?"

King Airul smiled and said, "The land route is easier to blockade, so it is less likely to go by land, and it is even more impossible to escape to Nubia from the south, which is the defense area of Poka. That's why I decided not to go. ”

"What?! Are you willing to be captured, Your Majesty? ”

"Of course not." Aroul's eyes flashed as he said, "That's too cheap Bud." I can be captured by them, but I can't write an edict to inherit the throne, and as long as they can't get it, then they can't rightfully inherit the throne. ”

"But if they harm Your Majesty"

"That's right, they will kill me and then put the blame on Li Tianhao. In order to prevent this from happening, I decided to pass the throne to Alfret now. ”

Let's talk about it. King Airul tore off a piece of his shirt, then bit his finger and wrote a letter of succession in blood, handed it to Muller, and said: "Qing is a great brave man, I believe that Qing will be able to get out safely." Deliver this edict to Alfrett. With this edict, Li Tianhao will be able to justifiably crusade against the rebellion. Now you stay here and give the signal for the ship to set sail immediately, and I will divert the pursuers for you. ”

Mueller was speechless for a while: "Your Majesty is not talented." But how can you abandon Your Majesty to escape alone? ”

"You are wrong, the only way to get out smoothly is to preserve the legitimacy of the Palchi country. It's also the best choice to keep me alive, so that they can be hindered. It's possible to keep me as a hostage. ”

"Yes! The minister must live up to His Majesty's trust! Mueller bowed his head deeply and bowed to Airul.

Arul then smiled and turned his head to one of Mueller's remaining subordinates, "Then is Qing willing to pretend to be Lord Mueller and accompany me?" ”

"It is an honor for the villain to serve His Majesty." The soldier puffed up his chest and accepted the king's order.

Now that the matter has been decided, the three of them no longer hesitate and immediately act separately. After sneaking out for a while, Mueller found a slightly higher spot and lit the torch he had with him. The green flames were a signal for an emergency retreat, and the people on the ship would retreat straight to the Dils when they saw it.

Immediately after casting the signal, Muller began to move in the opposite direction of Airul. Along the way, they encountered several Palci troops, and they were heading towards the shore rather than towards the place where they had given their signals. Müller secretly admired the resourcefulness of King Arul, who was by no means uninformed, although he did not agree to Li Tianhao's political reforms in Palci.

Since it has not been noticed by the Palci army, what Muller needs to think about now is how to escape from Palchi. As King Arul had predicted, both the water and land routes would be blocked, and it would be even more difficult to leave Palchi at the moment. However, since the rebels will definitely catch His Majesty, they will use their planned rhetoric to appease the people as soon as the morning breaks, and Bard will at least act as the governor of the country for the time being, and the most important thing for them to consolidate the fruits of victory is to take full control of all of Palchi as soon as possible, and if possible, to send troops to the Dils. Then the easiest way to appear on camera is undoubtedly to disguise yourself as a Palci soldier.

Thinking of this, Müller quietly approached the banks of the Nanra River, waiting for an opportunity to find the lone Palchi soldier.

Müller was well aware of the formation of the Palci Army, which consisted mainly of civilians and that slaves were not eligible to join the army. The smallest unit of the Palchi Army was a team of ten, which was usually a fellow villager and knew each other well, so it would be very difficult to blend in, but if the squad was severely depleted, it could be merged with the other squads, so that they could be assigned to a squad that was completely unknown to them. So Müller's goal was to find a lone team of ten, kill them all, and infiltrate the Palcian army as the team's only survivors.

Heaven did not seem to favor Müller until it was almost dawn when he encountered a lone ten-man group on the banks of the Nara, and Müller knew that things would be more troublesome at dawn, so he immediately attacked. It would have been easy to deal with ten soldiers with his martial arts, but it would have been difficult to end the battle before they could send a distress signal to the surrounding allies, so Muller struck far more ruthlessly than usual, each knife went straight to the throat of his opponent, and all the training of the poor Palch soldiers seemed meaningless in front of Müller, whose blades could only cut Müller's afterimage, but allowed Müller to cut a fatal wound on them.

The battle was swift and brutal, with ten corpses lying on the ground. Mueller immediately swapped clothes with one of the men who was his size, and threw the body into the Nara.

The next step is how to fool other "allies" when they encounter them. (To be continued......)
