"Your Highness, the spies reported that a team of men and horses escorted the ice princess away."

"Hmph, this old guy really doesn't know each other."

The Seventh Prince snorted coldly, it was not surprising that King Marshall of Gurman had already said that it was impossible for the Duke to surrender so easily, otherwise there would be no need to send an army of 50,000 to suppress the formation.

It's just that I didn't expect that even if the army was overwhelming, the duke didn't compromise.

"How many people are there in that group?"

"About 100 people!"

"Order 3,000 soldiers and horses to follow me, people, I must take it."

"Yes!"

There were only a hundred soldiers and horses escorting Qin Haiyan away, and the seventh prince ordered three thousand to pursue.

Thirty times the number, the absolute difference in strength, is completely crushing.

In fact, a thousand people are enough, although the army brought out by the seventh prince is not the most elite in the kingdom, but it is also a regular army, not only well-equipped, but also has fought a few tough battles, and it is completely different from the private soldiers who have not been on the battlefield.

A nobleman who owns a territory can have private soldiers who are loyal to him and only obey his orders.

The number of private soldiers that different levels of nobles can have is also different, and according to the establishment, the maximum number of private soldiers of the duke is three thousand.

It's true that the rules on the surface are like this, but few nobles will take this regulation as a thing, after all, exceeding the standard is also a symbol of strength, if you can't exceed the standard, it can only mean that your strength is not good.

If you don't have enough troops, how can you protect your property and protect your family, so that others will be jealous.

The greater the power of the family, the greater the number of private soldiers, which is also a tacit matter for each other.

When there are still only so many numbers on the surface, you have to hide the extra ones, and you can't just let them show up.

Therefore, the private soldiers of the nobles rarely fought, and some even did not see blood at all, which is the reason why the regular army looked down on private soldiers.

Bring 3,000 soldiers and horses and crush them with absolute superiority, because the Seventh Prince and his father, King Marshall, want a living person, not a corpse.

Then you will ask, in that case, why not just send out an army of 50,000 together.

50,000 people went out together, it was indeed a huge momentum, and the encirclement and suppression of those more than 100 people was still not captured, so that they didn't even have the courage to resist.

But this is pursuit, and what is the focus of pursuit, is speed.

If there are too many people, it will inevitably be crossed, and it will be interesting if you can't catch up when the time comes.

And it's dark now, and you're running away with 50,000 people, aren't you afraid of accidents?

Three thousand soldiers and horses is already too much, and any more is completely burdensome.

Soon, 3,000 soldiers and horses were assembled and began to pursue.

In order to ensure the speed of pursuit, these 3,000 soldiers and horses were all light cavalry, and the only weapons they wore were bows and arrows and swords.

In addition to the three thousand soldiers and horses, the seventh prince also brought a wind attribute magician with him, and the magician groaned on horseback, waved his magic staff, chanted a long spell, and a gust of wind blew.

The speed of the hussars seems to be faster, this is state magic, lightness.

You can increase your movement speed, but there are a bit too many people, so the speed of the increase is not obvious, just a little faster.

With this magician, in fact, the most important thing is insurance, because there are more wind magic controls, and when the time comes, it will save a lot of trouble if Qin Haiyan is directly controlled.

Among the many princes, although the seventh prince is the more stubborn one, his character and ability to do things are still highly valued by Marshall.

Be cautious and steady, and if you don't, you won't be entrusted with important tasks.

……

After dinner, Chen Nai meditated as usual, since there were two believers, who provided the power of faith steadily, the image of the two cats in the meditation world gradually stabilized, and the frequency of their appearance was a little more.

But what Chen Nai cares about the most is that the dark red stripes behind them flash from time to time, those stripes give Chen Nai a very bad feeling, whenever the stripes flash, Chen Nai always has a feeling of palpitations.

This feeling is like a mouse that I am afraid of suddenly appears in front of me.

At first, Chen Nai didn't understand why, until he thought of the mouse, he didn't react, this feeling was fear.

It's just that why does he have a fear of these stripes?

He didn't know what these stripes were, so why did he feel fear?

Fear of this emotion, in fact, it is difficult to tell why, as if Chen Nai does not understand, why most girls are afraid of cockroaches, and he is afraid of mice, every time this goods come out, he will be frightened.

But when you calm down, you will find that this rat is not so scary at all, why can it make itself panic every time.

I can't figure out why, is it its natural enemy.

No, I've killed a few of them, and now I'm the predator of rats.

A sound interrupted Chen Nai's thoughts.

Chen Nai heard a neat sound, this sound was moving fast, and it was approaching in this direction.

The ground trembled slightly, and the pebbles became extremely active and kept beating.

"It's ...... The sound of horses' hooves! ”

After confirming what the sound was, Chen Nai was a little confused, although he couldn't tell how many horses' hooves there were, but listening to this momentum, he knew that there were definitely a lot.

It's just that the army marches at night, for what?

Soon, Chen Nai knew why.

In the night, he saw a pair of centaurs, escorting a cold girl, it was the ice princess Qin Haiyan.

"It's ...... Runaway? ”

The term runaway may not be appropriate in this situation, after all, there is no marriage contract between the parties.

But it's right to run away, so you don't have to pay so much attention to it.

What makes Chen Nai most uncalm is that if you run away, why should you run in my direction.

"Burton, take Eddie and get ready to run!"

Chen Nai immediately asked Burton to run away with Eddie, but there was no way, Eddie's movement speed was too slow, so he had to let Burton carry it.

Pots and tents are also gone, and avoiding disasters is the most important thing.

Chen Nai wanted to hide, but there were some things that he couldn't hide at all, because the three thousand light cavalry were surrounded in an arc.

In the dark night, they don't have Chen Nai's night vision, and it is difficult to see who is who from ten meters away.

All they had to do was to see the swaying figure and draw their bows and shoot arrows.

As for who you are and whether you are passing by or not, it doesn't matter.

would rather kill the mistake than let it go, kill it if it is killed, and no one will hold them accountable for their faults, after all, Chen Nai and they are not important people.
