Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow

The main road leading to the royal city of Parma was wide, but there was no room for two people fleeing the royal city on horseback.

Count Walker and Coulosius rode their horses, and behind them were the pursuers of the King's army pouring out of Parma, and these pursuers even used the Royal Cavalry Regiment of Parma, with the great intention of not giving up until they caught up with the two of them.

In the game of chasing for dozens of miles, the strength of the heavy cavalry 'Dot' seemed to be gradually exhausted, and Cullousius, who was riding on the white snow, easily overtook the 'Dot' ridden by Earl Walker, and ran ahead of him.

Walker felt that the horse's steps under his crotch were becoming more and more inadequate, and the hooves of the horse running with his eyes were no longer firm, becoming a little swaying and jolting, he looked anxiously at Colossius who was running away on horseback in front of him, and yelled at him, "Hey, Colossius, it's not good to play with the King's cavalry regiment like this!" My finishing touch seems to have reached the limit, it's so tired! If we run any further, there is a road - it will be run to death, and we will be killed! ”

"Lord Rogge, can I let it hold on a little longer? I've figured out a way, but I'll have to go a little further. Culosius turned his head, his ruddy face covered with dust, "Besides, we've distanced ourselves from the king's army of horseback jelows behind us, and we can't just give up." ”

"May the Goddess be with me as much as it does." Earl Walker kissed the hilt of the Frost Sword, leaving a trail of blood oozing from his cracked lips on the hilt, "I hope that little distance in your method doesn't mean another few dozen miles." ”

"We need to go to the mountain ahead now." Cullosius pointed to the distant shadow of the only abrupt mountain peak next to the main road, "This is the only feasible escape strategy at the moment. We're safe when we get there. ”

"If I'm right, it's the smuggling caravan stronghold that Arno told us about, Mount Sharp. What a great place. Count Walker nodded to Kurosius, "Hopefully, that talkative one-eyed dragon has returned from Ironfist Castle of the Al Ain, so that our hasty visit will not be so awkward!" ”

"Well, I've not been idle these days, because I've got to think about our next adventure, and the one-eyed dragon is back. Plus, the lord of Sharpsan is back! They will surely open their arms and give you a warm hug! "The king's enemy is a friend of the lord of Sharp, though on the surface he is a direct vassal of the king, and so on - to hell with that name." The current Kingdom of Rinston has nothing to be loyal to. ”

"Who are you talking about, Lord of Sharp Mountain?" Count Walker's dark brown eyes flashed, and he seemed to be a little uneasy in his heart, although Coulosius was a friend of Knight Rogge, he didn't know Count Yafen, even though he was both Rogge and Earl Yafen.

"Your Excellency Baron Zax. His Excellency the Baron had spent two years in the dungeons of Jafen, but he was still as heroic as he had been, and now that he had lost his beloved brother, he had grown to hate the hypocritical king of Szal-Saxon. There was a hint of sympathy in Culosius's eyes, but he quickly introduced Count Walker with pride, "Haha, almost all of our dart masters and fellows are regulars on the King's Wanted Notice. ”

"Oh, but Baron Sharp Hill Zax Sharp, his brother is from Baron Bill Sharp." Earl Walker looked a little nervous, in his eyes, the city of Parma dozens of miles behind him was nothing more than a dangerous dragon pool, then the trip to Sharp Mountain would be an adventure into the tiger's den, "I hope the Earl of Uffenburg will not wake up too late, who knows?" ”

"Ahh So, you're still old acquaintances! I am sure His Excellency the Baron will be happy to grant us refuge. Colossius turned his head respectfully to look back at Earl Walker.

"Yes, we are not only old acquaintances, maybe something important between us needs to be settled." Earl Walker's eyes became cold, "Kulosius, you lead the way, I haven't seen Lord Zax for a long time." ”

The fence looming behind the red-crowned woods in Al Helino is not far away, and the fence looming behind the red-crowned woods looks a little old, and from the space in front of the wooden fence where the leaves are not completely covered, you can also see the sky blue yellowstone flower flag of Forestton and the double-headed black eagle pennant of the people of Kakhand, the red roof of the Murred wooden house above the fence is not painted red, but the original color of the wood used to build the roof of the wooden house, so it looks like it is integrated with the red crown wood forest of El Helinor.

"Hey, Culosius, what are you doing here? It seems to have been occupied by the King's Army and the Karkandians. We're swaggering into this area occupied by King Murray's army? Count Walker was a little wary, and he looked at Kulosius in confusion as he rode a horse in front of him.

"Anyway, if you can trust me, all I can tell you is that there is no danger here. If you take a closer look, by the way, look at the 'Karkhand' on the new watchtower, if you have a good memory, is it a little familiar? Cullosius pointed to the soldier on the new tower of the Murred Gate of the Karkand, and waved his hand at him, and the soldier turned to look at Cullotsius and Count Walker, and he immediately looked overjoyed, and bowed down and shouted under the gate, and the gate of Mulred was suddenly open for them.

"Isn't this a buddy from the one-eyed dragon Arno's caravan?" Earl Walker looked at it, and he remembered the true face of this 'Karkande' axeman.

"Yes, this place has been reclaimed by His Excellency the Baron, and the foolish king has no idea. Baron Zax maintains the status quo here. so as not to attract the attention of the king. Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable. Colossius rolled and dismounted, and told the former comrades in disguise that behind them were a group of cavalrymen of the King's Army who were chasing them.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of these things. Isn't it the cavalry regiment of the King's Army? We can now be close 'allies' with them. The guys laughed and pointed to the Kakand armor they were wearing, "This skin works most of the time. Add to that the nasal cow barks of the Kakhandians, and they have to believe that we are in league with them. ”

Walking along the red dirt road of Murred, the towering Sharp Mountain next to the Murred Collar will soon arrive, the mountain of Sharp Mountain is not steep, but it has edges and corners to form a unique landform, because the red crown wood of El Helino grows on both sides of the mountain road, so walking in it feels like the whole Sharp Mountain is red.

Halfway up Sharp Hill, the House of Sharp looked out over the Murred Collar, and its vestibule house, covered with straight trunks of El Helino, had long since opened its doors for the entry of Culotius and Count Walker.

"Rogge! Kulosius! I thought you had forgotten about me, the bald one-eyed dragon!" At the door of the vestibule, the bald one-eyed dragon Arno was already waiting there, and he greeted Count Walker and Cullosius, holding their hands as if they were trembling with excitement, "I have heard of the feat of both of you! Slew the nine-headed sea monster on Lena Island. Yo, Mr. Roger Tyme seems to have lost weight and participated in the knights' jousting tournament? Covered in blood and sweat, well, it seems that you have brought us a very special story! ”

"Ah, Lord Arno, I have taken the liberty of coming to your stronghold, and I must have caused you a lot of trouble in the grounds." Earl Walker nodded lightly to Arno.

"It's not a small task for the King to send a Royal Order of Knights to chase after him, Lord Rogge. Ranger Rogge. Knight of Jaffin. You're writing a story. Arno's eyebrows twitched slightly from the one-eyed dragon's blindfold, "Maybe there's something else to call it." ”

"Culosius is my special attendant, and if there is anything else, it is the master of Culosius. Mr. Arnault, there may be other meanings in your words. Otherwise, you smugglers will risk saving me a wanted criminal from the king? Earl Walker kept smiling, though his face was covered in dried blood and his smile wasn't very pretty.

"In fact, we are considering working with Jarfenburg, and you have heard of the New Deal of Jarfen before, and since you may be an important person in Jarfin, His Excellency Baron Zax is also interested in you, and he is waiting for you in the small castle of Sharp House. And Culosius, I hope you can wait quietly. One-eyed Arno took Earl Walker's hand and walked through the vestibule of Sharp House.

"Of course, I also need to meet with His Excellency Baron Zax. There are many stories between me and him that are still unfinished. Count Walker strode into the small castle of Sharp House with Arno in stride, and he quietly pressed the Frost Sword at his waist.

Stepping onto the second floor of the small castle of Sharp House, Arno did not go any further, he just opened the heavy red door outside the hall for Earl Walker, and when Earl Walker entered, he immediately closed the red door.

In the second-floor hall of the small castle, a round table was filled with sumptuous food, especially the fat roast turkey, which was steaming hot.

Baron Zax sat across from Earl Walker, his eyes glowing as cold as a jungle wolf, and his face gloomy. The cold look contrasts with the hot food.

He looked at the knight Rogge who walked in outside the heavy red door, jumped up from his seat, and said coldly, "I didn't expect that the knight of Yafen who was chased by the King's cavalry regiment would be you." Walker Easttham. ”

"I never imagined that I would be in front of you like this today. Zax Sharp. Still, I came. Earl Walker held down the hilt of his sword, and their eyes met each other, their dark brown eyes fiercely intertwined with the wolf-like gaze of the jungle wolf.
