Chapter 918: Ted Scott
"Calyplis, are you going to be against me?" Modrek took advantage of Leyard's break to convince the commander of the infantry regiment in charge of garrisoning the Alashan Pass, Caliplishi.
"Your Highness, I, Calyplis, am a warrior of Lacassia, and I will never betray King Pendreken, and in front of me is Lacassia, I hope that Your Highness will come back with the royal master as soon as possible to quell the rebellion." Calyplisch said, raising her hand to split the line into two columns and dodge a path.
"Thank you, Calyplis, I remember your loyalty, and I will repay you in the future." Mordrak rode on his war horse and bowed slightly to Mariplis, and Ji Ran and his entourage behind him also cast respectful glances at Calyplis.
"Your Highness, let's go, I'll cut off the queen." Calyplish flashed to the side.
"Well, Calyplish, take care!" Mordrak arched her hand at Calyplis, and hurried away with the men.
Modrek crossed the Alashan Pass and reached the Taur Valley.
Not far in front is the surging Teur River, and the Taur River Fort is already standing in front of you.
Although Mordrak had successfully passed the Alashan Pass, he was not sure that the lord guarding the Tyor Valley was loyal to him.
Out of an abundance of caution, Mordrake and his retinue took a temporary hideout in a low-lying area in the valley of the Theoul River.
I plan to wait for Leyard to arrive and discuss countermeasures together.
Early the next morning, Riyadh finally arrived with a cavalry team.
After a battle, the cavalry team of several hundred people lost most of them, and only about a hundred people remained, and Wren still did not fall.
Modrek was a little frustrated when he didn't hear from Wren, who was his most effective general.
If there is an accident this time, your own losses are really unbearable.
"Leyard, do you know who the lord of the Teur Fort is?" Mordrake asked Leyard.
Although Mordrak was the ruler of Liguria, he did not directly intervene with the lords of such small places, and usually left them to his ministers.
"The lord of the Fort of the Tyur is the new nobleman of Liguria, named Tedscott, who seems to be an eccentric old man." Leyard reported to Modrec that Riyadh had seen him at the beginning and was a little impressed.
"Ted Scott?" Mordrake silently read the name, as if she had a sudden impression.
"Could it be the weird old man who was cuckolded by his wife?" Mordrake asked.
"It's him." Leyard confirmed.
"Cuckolded by my wife?" Ji Ran looked at Modrek with some embarrassment and asked.
"Tedscott had a young and beautiful wife when he was young, and then his wife fell in love with a bard and then said goodbye, and since then, Tedscott seems to have been hit hard, as if he had changed as a different person, locking himself in the house all day, with deep self-harm tendencies, and a very strange temper." Mordrake explained to Ji Ran.
Hearing Modrek's explanation, Ji Ran suddenly felt that this old man was really pitiful, maybe he loved his wife too much, so he couldn't withstand this heavy emotional blow.
"So, Ted Scott can't be from the Brooke family, right?" Mordrak asked, looking at Leyard.
"Well, probably not, Ted Scott has not been involved in any party since his wife ran away, he has a withdrawn personality, whether it was during the Liguria Nadir Federation, or in the past few years, I have not heard that he has had too close ties with a certain group or organization." Leyard nodded.
"Well, maybe he'll help us." Mordrake was relieved to hear Leyard say this.
Teur Fort is the last checkpoint to Lacasia, and once he has passed it, he can return to Lacacia safely and uneventually.
"Leyard, you protect Ai here, I'll go meet Ted Scott." Mordrak commanded Leyard.
"Your Highness? It's too dangerous, so you stay, I'll go to Ted Scott, and if he agrees to help us, you can take the rest of the people with you, and if I don't come back before sunset, you can take the rest of the group and hide and wait for Lord Wren's help. At this time, Leyard still believed that Wren was still alive, and he firmly believed that Wren would definitely come with the glorious Knights.
"Your Highness, you can't make any mistakes, this is Lord Rennes's explanation to me." Leyard said to Modrek.
Mordrak nodded movingly, "Okay, then you have to be careful. ”
"Yes! ~" Leyard nodded, and after breakfast, he took only two retinues with him and went straight to the Fort of the River Theur.
When Leyard arrived at the city of the river fort with two cavalrymen, the soldiers guarding the gate immediately lowered the rope bridge, and the gate of the river fort was wide open, and a nobleman in plain clothes came out of the gate to greet him.
"Leyard, welcome." Ted Scott smiled and stepped forward, and Riad immediately turned over and dismounted, walked up to Ted Scott, and the two hugged each other tightly.
"Lord Ted, it's rare for you to be so enthusiastic, I guess you have also heard about the matter of Karthas, His Royal Highness Modrek has no way back now, only through here, can he return to Lacasia, this is his last way to return to the country, I hope Lord Ted can support, I will give you enough rewards on behalf of His Royal Highness Modreck." Leyard said to Ted Scott.
"Leyard, don't talk about that yet, come, let's have a few drinks first." Ted Scott let Leyard into the river fort, where they drank wine and ate meat, and had a good conversation.
In the evening, seeing that the sun was about to set, Leyard couldn't sit still.
Every point is dangerous now, because Crayya's pursuers may appear at any moment.
Only by passing through here as soon as possible can you be truly safe.
"Leyard, come, have another drink." Tedscott brought Leyard another red wine, but Leyard embarrassed to put his glass down.
"Lord Ted, it's not too early, His Royal Highness the Prince is still waiting for my reply, if you are willing to help us, please open the city gate as soon as possible and let us pass, please." Leyard pleaded with Ted Scott.
"Okay, since it's for Caracia, then I'm naturally willing to help, so tonight, let His Royal Highness the Prince live in the River Fort first, and let His Royal Highness the Prince go back to Lacacia at dawn tomorrow, how about it?" Ted Scott asked.
When Leyard heard this, he was overjoyed, "Well, thank you very much Lord Ted for your profound righteousness, and the prince will not forget your merits." Leyard thanked him excitedly, said goodbye to Ted Scott, and hurried back to Mordrak's camp.
