In the evening, the sun gradually set in the direction of the Fort of the River Theur.

Mordrak stood outside the camp, looking in the direction of the Fort of the River Theur, where he had been waiting for a full hour.

It was not difficult to tell from his anxious look that he was nervous and worried.

If Tedscott did surrender to the rebels, he would be in a precarious position.

The mouth of the Teoul River is the only path to La Casia, and if it is blocked, there is really no way back for Mordrac.

When the time comes, as soon as the rebels of Clauja arrive, I am afraid that they will only have to be captured.

Ji Ran stood behind Mordrake, silently paying attention to him, she knew his mood at the moment, no one was more anxious than him.

Finally, a wisp of dust appeared in the west, and then, in the afterglow of the setting sun, a knight rode a horse and galloped in.

This man was none other than the Leyard who had kept Mordrak so anxious.

"Leyard is back! ~" Ji Ran also shouted in surprise.

Modrek hurried over, and Riyadh rode up to Modric, rolled over and jumped off the horse, and got down on one knee in front of Modrec.

"Your Highness, Lord Ted promised to let us pass." Leyard said breathlessly.

It turned out that along the way, he rode his horse to tell Modrake the good news as soon as possible.

Mordrak was overjoyed and quickly helped Leyard up.

"Great, Leyard, you've done me a great favor, quick, call everyone and cross the river tonight." Mordrake immediately greeted Ji Ran and said.

"Hmm." Ji Ran nodded and told everyone the good news.

The group immediately packed up and went straight to the fort of the Teur River.

When Modric arrived, Ted Scott did not greet him, but called a man who looked like a butler to wait outside the city.

"Your Highness Lady Mordrake, Lord Ted is too drunk to welcome you, please forgive your sins." The old butler bowed and said.

"It's alright, please convey my thanks to Master Ted for me." Modrec said generously.

At this time, as long as he can pass through the Taior River Fort safely, it is already a blessing, where is he in the mood to care about anything else?

The old butler led Mordrak into the river fort.

Since the Teoul River was the most important natural hazard linking Lacazia and Liguria, the defense of the river fort was strengthened after the successful attack on Mordrak to prevent others from following his example.

Not only did they strengthen the walls of the river fort, but they also increased their troops.

From the initial dozens of people, the strength has increased to 300 people.

The soldiers were stationed in the river fort, and the river fort also stored a large amount of food, enough for the soldiers here to hold on for half a year.

It can be said that the current Fort of the River Teoul is already an impregnable steel fortress.

After Mordrak entered the river fort, he was placed in a room.

"Your Highness, the conditions here are simple, so please ask Your Highness to take a look." The old butler said apologetically.

"No, we won't be staying here tonight, please tell Lord Ted, I hope he will lower the drawbridge and let us pass." Mordrake consulted with the old butler.

"Your Highness, I'm really sorry, according to the rules, the drawbridge of the river fort cannot be lowered after sunset, this is the rule you set at the beginning, we adults have always obeyed it, and we dare not violate it." The old butler said.

Hearing the old butler's words, Mordrake frowned in embarrassment, this rule was indeed issued by himself, but he didn't expect it to become a stumbling block for himself now.

"Since you also know that this is an order issued by His Highness, then, now His Highness is going to change his mind, you just have to do it, and all the responsibilities will be borne by His Highness, and you, Lord Ted, will not blame you." Ji Ran stood aside and said.

The old housekeeper glanced at Ji Ran, and she realized that this woman, who had always hidden her appearance in her hood, turned out to be a woman of extraordinary beauty, which was simply amazing.

Modrek looked at Ji Ran, and then nodded at the butler, "Yes, just say that's what I meant." ”

The old butler saw that Modrek was so persistent, so he could only smile unnaturally, and turned to leave the room.

After about ten minutes, the old butler returned to his room.

"Your Highness, I'm really sorry, Lord Ted is not feeling well tonight, he has already slept, the key is always worn by Lord Ted, the villain does not dare to disturb, or please rest for the night first, and then take the key from Lord Ted tomorrow." The old butler said helplessly.

Hearing this, Mordrak frowned awkwardly, he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing.

He is also the prince of Lakasia after all, the governor of Liguria, whether it is identity or status, I don't know how much higher than this Tedscott, he is so arrogant?

Even delayed his trip on the grounds that he was resting?

If something goes wrong, will he be able to bear it?

Although he was so angry in his heart, Modrak didn't want to show it, after all, he was the one who was asking for help now, and if he really annoyed Ted Scott, I was afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable.

After thinking about it, Mordrak had no choice but to agree.

"Well, then you'll be up to you tonight, so be sure to guard the gates and don't let anyone in." Mordrak instructed the butler.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the defense of the Taiur River Fort has never been slackened, and outsiders will never be allowed to enter." The old butler smiled indifferently, then turned and left the room.

After about half an hour, a servant came to the door and brought some food.

It's a delicious steak, and freshwater fish from the Théur River, with some milk and cheese.

"Your Highness, this is the puffer fish of the Taiur River, it is delicious, please taste it." The servant said.

"Thank you very much." Mordrak said politely.

The servant turned and exited the room.

"Hungry, huh? Along the way, I didn't let you eat a full meal, but I didn't expect the first full meal to be here, come, eat while it's hot. Modrek looked at Ji Ran and said guiltily.

"Wait, I'll do it first." Ji Ran saw that Modrek wanted to eat the meat of the puffer fish, and hurriedly stopped him.

"Oh?" Mordrake was stunned for a moment, only to see Ji Ran sandwich a piece of puffer fish meat, chew it carefully, and then swallow it.

After about a few minutes, he nodded and said to Modrek, "Eat it, I'm afraid it's poisonous in the dish." ”

Hearing Ji Ran's explanation, Mordrak was moved in his heart, now the rebels want to get Modrake the most, as long as Mordrak is killed, the rebels can completely control Liguria, under the temptation of this huge profit, it is inevitable that Ted Scott will not change his mind, in case he moves his hands and feet in the dish, it will be troublesome.
