Chapter 145: Turin Storm VIII
After Don Quixote led his troops back to Turin, he ordered the soldiers to split up. Don Quixote was also a former professional soldier, and of course he knew very well that although a cluster could bring forces together, it was also easier for the enemy to concentrate superior forces to carry out encirclement and suppression, and although free movement would disperse forces, it would never be wiped out.
Don Quixote believed that as long as the city of Turin remained in chaos, as long as he did not encounter a large number of enemies, then he was sure that he would find Belea.
As for whether she can be rescued or not, it can only depend on the will of God.
Don Quixote gently kicked Nightmare in the abdomen, leaned over, and whispered, "Come on, old fellow." β
The Nightmare let out two fiery snorts, then spread its hooves like a prehistoric beast and ran down the streets strewn with corpses and blood.
And at this moment, in the shadows that the moonlight did not shine, the figure of a man appeared, who quietly looked at Don Quixote's back, and a grim smile appeared on his face.
At this moment, behind him, a voice asked, "Lord Robert, why didn't we kill him?" To be able to take off Don Quixote's head is also a great achievement, isn't it? β
Robert shook his head and said, "The reason why Don Quixote dared to return to Turin City was to save the little princess Belea. β
The voice asked with surprise, "You know him so well?" β
Robert smiled and said, "No one knows him better than me, and only this man can go to the battlefield of Turin for the sake of a promise and risk his life." β
"So what are we going to do next?"
Robert came out of the darkness and said lightly: "Since he is here to save the little princess, then I will follow him, and when he finds the little princess, I will kill them all." β

After navigating through a dark tunnel, Belia finally reached the Second Viscount's Palace.
But when she got out of the tunnel, all she saw was an empty mansion and a clutter of paperwork.
When she walked out of the mansion, she only saw the golden wind and rain flowers blooming in the courtyard of the mansion swaying gently, like golden waves, and the beautiful petals were blown by the wind, withering and flying one by one.
At this moment, the Second Viscount's Mansion was empty, and only the wind and rain flowers accompanied her.
Belia watched the scene and bit her lip tightly. At this moment, she had a feeling of abandonment.
What am I going to do?
She was just a little girl, a 7-year-old child, who had no ability to protect herself. And outside it is full of real warriors, and everyone can easily kill him.
And it seems, the elder brother ... Oh no, Matthew, he's not his own brother anymore, he's the one who wants to kill himself.
Matthew must have sent someone to hunt her down all over the city.
What am I going to do?
Belia then took out a human skin mask.
This human skin mask was originally asked by Gaudus to Rostanford, and when Gaurdos gave it to himself, he told himself to keep it no matter what.
And now, it's time for it to do its job.
Bellia lifted the mask, then gently pressed it against her face, then pressed it hard, erasing the parts of the mask that did not fit her face, and finally, achieved a perfect fit.
At least judging from her face, Belia no longer has the same beautiful appearance as before, but has become an ordinary girl.
However, it was not enough to change her face, and Belia seemed to understand this, as she saw a dagger fall from the ground, and immediately picked it up and cut off her own hair.
With short hair, she is closer to a civilian girl in temperament.
She cut off her sleeves with a dagger, cut her clothes a few times, and even grabbed a handful of dirt and sprinkled it on her face and hair, making herself unkempt and making her clothes rotten and dirty.
In this way, in full disguise, she quietly opened the door of the mansion and prepared to escape, escape from Turin.
At first, Belya's escape was smooth, and no one noticed that she was such a dirty little girl, but immediately, things were not good.
There were quite a few citizens of Turin walking around the streets, and they also wanted to escape the city of Turin, but under the orders of Matthew's soldiers, their movements were restricted, and their range of movement was controlled to the various streets, and they began to check one by one.
Belya was also restricted from her movements, and under the threat of the sword, she was forced to line up and be checked.
She noticed that the soldiers in charge of the inspection were very professional, they did not hastily dig out their pockets, accept some bribes and let people go, they would even strip everyone of their clothes and conduct a detailed inspection from the inside out!
In this way, the people in front of Belia were examined one after another, and finally, it was her turn.
"Come here." An elderly veteran looked at Belea, who was hesitant, and beckoned to her.
Belia looked at the veteran, hesitating and not daring to step forward.
"Come here, I won't hurt you." The veteran's expression became a little more serious.
Belia stepped back step by step.
The veteran frowned, and then walked over to Belia.
And at this moment, when the veteran was about to walk to Belea's side, Belia suddenly pulled out a dagger and slammed it into the veteran's stomach!
Blood slowly flowed down the blade and the wound. Belya let go of her hand and ran as hard as she could in the opposite direction!
The veteran covered his stomach and pointed to Belea's back and shouted, "Catch her!" Get her! β
The surrounding soldiers then gathered in the direction of Belea.
Although Belia is brave, she is only a little girl who is 7 years old and almost 8 years old, and her physical strength and speed are still quite limited compared to these adult soldiers. Soon. And the pursuers caught up with her.
"You can't run away!"
The soldiers approached her with a sinister grin, reaching out to grab her arm. And at this moment, a black shadow suddenly struck in and cut off the arm of the outstretched soldier!
Watching the half of his arm fly into the sky in a blood-red trajectory, the soldier was stunned at first, then fell to his knees, crying hysterically in pain. The Shadow then dragged Belia onto her horse!
Belia looked back, only to see that the knight on the horse was wearing the familiar dragon-wing mask.
None other than Don Quixote!
Belia burst into tears, she closed her eyes, trying not to let the tears fall, but the tears didn't listen.
When she was at her most desperate, it was him who appeared in front of her!
Don Quixote said apologetically: "I'm sorry little princess, I'm late." β
Belia heard the tiredness in his voice and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" β
Don Quixote shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." β
Feeling a little tired?
Belia noticed a deep exhaustion in his voice, how could he just be a little tired? Since the coup d'Γ©tat, he has been wielding swords, killing people all the time, every cell of his body has transmitted the most primitive fatigue, and every muscle of his body is feeding back the most real pain.
He was really tired.
But he can't stop yet, he has to rush out, rush out of Turin, the little princess is truly safe!
And at this time, out of nowhere, there was a roar:
"Follow me and catch Don Quixote!"
Don Quixote's eyes widened when he heard this voice.
The owner of this voice turned out to be... Robert?!
