Mordrak looked at Karthas in a sea of fire, as if her dreams had been shattered, tears silently sliding down her face.

"Don't be sad, it's not your fault." Ji Ran comforted Modrek and said that she didn't want Modrek to be so sad and blame herself, she was afraid that Modrek would collapse because of this.

"Aiyi, I'm sorry to let you wander with me." Mordrake slowly withdrew his gaze and landed on Ji Ran's face.

"No, as long as you are there, you can go anywhere." Ji Ran said to Mordrake.

"Are you still willing to follow me?" Mordrak looked at Ji Ran and asked.

"Well, I do." Ji Ran nodded vigorously and said with an oath.

"Then give me a chance to see how about I make a comeback?" Modrek discussed with Ji Ran.

"Okay, you're going to make it." Ji Ran smiled and encouraged.

In times of adversity, what people need most is encouragement, a warm encouragement, enough to melt the thick snow in their hearts.

"Leyard, how many more do we have?" Mordrak asked, looking at Leyard.

"Lord Wren has fallen into the enemy's encirclement in order to cover our retreat, and there has been no news so far, I only brought a few hundred people, and when I broke through, I lost nearly half, and now there are less than three hundred." Leyard said.

Hearing Leyard's report, Modrek was in a heavy mood, Wren was his right-hand man, and the bravest general in Lacasia, and the cavalry division he commanded was also the most effective army in Lacaxia.

And now that the catastrophe is coming, it actually puts Wren into a disaster, which really makes Mordrake feel at ease.

"Leyard, you take someone to pick up Wren, he is my brother, I can't leave him behind." Modlek said to Leyard.

"But... Lord Wren asked me to ensure the safety of His Highness and Miss Aiyi. Leyard said to Modrec, his expression very embarrassed.

Modrake looked at Leyard's embarrassed expression, in fact, he could also understand his feelings, although he was his leader, but, in terms of direct relationship, he should still be at Wren's disposal.

Outside, the king's orders are not subject to anything, so in the orders of Mordrak and Wren, Leyard will naturally obey the latter.

After a night, a group of men and horses suddenly appeared at the bottom of the mountain, and Leyard immediately led the cavalry team to meet them, and when the two sides got closer, they found that it was their own people.

Most of them were warriors who had escaped from the city of Karthus, and with Wren's answer, they found Modrek.

Although Modrek is now unable to protect himself, these loyal warriors are willing to follow Modrek's side.

It's just that Mordrak has no ability to feed them now, and because of the hurry of escaping, he didn't bring much material at all, and he couldn't support the food, drink, and shelter of these people.

Although they feel guilty in their hearts, these soldiers are dying to follow Modrek, but Mordrake really has no choice, in addition to the lack of supplies, more importantly, the rebels will never let Mordrake go so easily, and they will definitely send pursuers to pursue.

If there are too many people, the target will be bigger, and when the time comes, if they are caught up by the pursuers, I am afraid that everyone will suffer.

Mordrak didn't want the soldiers to be implicated by herself, so she dismissed them.

Towards noon, Wren had not returned, so Riyadh pulled his sword out of the mud and sand, inserted it back into its scabbard, and turned to Mordrak's side.

"Your Highness, we can't wait any longer, it's time for us to go." Leyard said to Modrek.

"Wait, Wren will definitely be back." Mordrac said, looking to the east.

"Lord Wren has told us that if we can't come back at noon, let's not wait any longer, and we must withdraw to Lacacia immediately while the retreat has not been cut off by the rebels." Leyard and Mordrak said anxiously.

Mordrak pondered for a moment, looked up at the fiery sun in the sky, and looked to the east again, the weather was clear, but the city of Karthas was still billowing with smoke, and the originally beautiful city was now a ruined wall, like a virgin who had been humiliated, silently telling his sorrow.

"Your Highness, please get on the horse." Leyard brought the war horse, and Mordrak looked at the east reluctantly, sighed helplessly, and stepped onto the war horse.

"Karthas, I'll be back." Mordrak swore secretly in her heart.

In the evening, Modrec reached the Alashan Pass, a narrow valley between the mountains of Aziegilia and Lacadia, deep enough to be the only road that connects the Ligurian plain in the east with the valley of the Teoul in the west.

Due to the importance of its geographical location, it was garrisoned by armies during the reign of the Ligurian Snadil Confederation and the reign of Lacazia.

At this time, there was a dead silence in Alashankou, but the barracks originally stationed here were surprisingly quiet, as if no one was there.

Modrek felt a hint of weirdness, and Leyard was on high alert.

The situation here is really unbelievable, what about the soldiers stationed here?

"Not good, Your Highness, go quickly!" Riyadh sensed a hint of something unpleasant, and he immediately beckoned Mordrak to retreat.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, suddenly, a troop flashed out from behind him, blocking Modrek's retreat, and in the valley, he also remembered the sound of the horn, and the soldiers who were originally stationed in the valley formed a battle formation, blocking the road in front of Modrek, forming a front and rear attack on Modrek.

"Melson? It's you? Mordrak asked, turning around and looking at the rebel general behind him.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what a memory, do you remember the villain?" The general, named Merson, took a few steps forward and shouted with a smile.

"Merson, why did you join the rebels against me? Am I not good enough for you? Modrek asked, looking at Merson.

"Your Highness is really good to me, but it's strange that Your Highness married a woman who shouldn't be married, if Your Highness changes his mind now, maybe there is still a chance to win the forgiveness of the old nobles, please think twice." Melson said with a sneer.

"Let me give up on Aiyi? No way. Mordrake resolutely refused.

"If that's the case, then the villain can't help it, His Royal Highness the Prince, offended." Merson arched his hand at Mordrak on his horse, and then commanded his army and launched an attack on Mordrak.

Seeing that Merson's army was attacking, Riyadh immediately led the cavalry to meet him.

Although Leyard's cavalry was small in number, it was extremely strong in combat and kept Merson's army at bay.
