Chapter 197: Dilemma
With Ojiasen's permission, the group immediately cheered and directed the wild boar to the little curse.
Orison smiled and looked at the soldiers' presumptuous behavior, and did not care, but looked back at Mrak, and then said to Bart and York, who were still following Mlak and did not dare to go far: "You two take care of him!" I'll have someone replace you later! ”
As he spoke, Orison untied his helmet. With a wild boar between his legs, he also sped up and ran towards the lake: "This ghost weather is really hot and deadly."
Bart and York replied, looking at their companions in front of them with envious eyes, and at the same time unloading their helmets.
Mlak coldly watched the enemy's movements, a subtle smile on his lips.
He found that the Hammondale soldiers, though seemingly careful, had committed a major offense
They just underestimate themselves.
Not only was he an excellent Imperial general, but he was also an experienced Imperial Champion Knight, and it was easy for him to control a war horse with only his feet
。
What's more, the war horse he stepped on was obviously still the emperor's war horse.
And the mistakes made by the enemy are not limited to this.
Although the boars mounted by the enemy seem to be at good speed, they are heavy cavalry!
The full-body steel armor on the body of these boar cavalrymen, the various weapons they carry, and the chain mail that almost covered the whole body of the boar cavalry were all equipment of considerable weight.
Even if these boars have good explosiveness and can sprint, Mrak doesn't think they can maintain their speed for long with such weight.
In other words, if you see an opportunity to escape, it won't take long to get rid of them.
And right now, it's a great opportunity.
As the lake got closer, the only Hammondale soldiers left by Mrak's side, York and Bart.
Auntac, who had already made up his mind to take this opportunity to escape, peeked at the two of them, but saw that the two guys were talking and laughing together in a low voice, and pointed in the direction of the small lake, not caring about himself at all.
Ahead of him, Orison and the other Hammondale soldiers had reached the edge of the lake, and one by one they were rapidly turning over and falling from the boars. Then spread your legs and run to the shallow area of the lake, scooping up the cool water with both hands and pouring it over your head.
Golden opportunity!
Mlak gently clamped the horse's belly between his legs. The horse beneath him immediately turned its head in obedience, and then began to gallop with its hooves.
This sudden turn of events made the two who followed Mlak around. The Hammondale soldiers were caught off guard and dumbfounded.
It wasn't until Mlak had escaped a short distance that they came to their senses: "Oh no, the prisoner has escaped!" ”
Hearing the other man's scream, Mlak looked back and saw that the two Hammondale soldiers were shouting and scrambling to command the wild boar to turn around rather awkwardly.
One of the soldiers even knocked off the helmet he was holding in his hand in a panic.
The rest of the Hammondale soldiers, who were enjoying the cool water on the edge of the small lake, had not even figured out what was going on at this time, and after hearing the shouts, they turned their heads inexplicably to observe the situation, and when they saw the situation in front of them, their faces all changed.
"A bunch of rookies!" Rak sneered, turned around and focused on his escape route.
Then he heard the angry roar of the big-eared monster called Orison: "Chase! You goddamn fools! He must not be allowed to escape! Hurry up, hurry up! ”
The rest of the story was just as Lac expected. The enemy's boar slowed down after galloping for some distance, and he himself relied on his skillful horsemanship. It was easy to keep the horses moving at a steady pace, and it didn't take long for Mlak to shake them all off
。
Watching Mlak fade away and eventually disappear from his sight, Orison still roared, but a smug smile appeared on his face.
"Alright, don't chase it, further on is the control area of the elemental clan, let's go back."
Hearing Orison's order, the boar cavalry stopped one after another, and Bart approached Orisen with a grin, and asked, "Lord Orison, we are doing well, right?" That guy didn't seem suspicious at all."
Orison smiled, "It seems that you have learned a lot from Polly and Robert, no wonder the Lord arranged for you to carry out this mission!" ”
The people of Hammondale are laughing here, but Mrak, who is on the run alone, is full of doubts.
The strange castle that suddenly appeared in the mouth of Jian Chen and those Hammondale soldiers of the Elemental Clan, as well as the news of Jian Chen's alliance with the Elemental Clan, surprised him
He really couldn't understand how the situation in Hammondale had changed so much because he had only been imprisoned by Jian Chen for a few days.
Where did the Elemental Clan come from, who were they, what purpose did they have, why they were able to build a castle out of thin air in such a short period of time, why they formed an alliance with Jian Chen, and why they were not good for the Empire.
One question after another arose in his mind.
Seeing that the pursuers behind him were gone, Mlak led his horse to a more secluded place and hid, and then managed to break the rope that bound his upper body. Moving his arm, which had been stiff from the long tie-up, Mrak made out his direction for a moment, then hit his horse again.
He had to get back to Fort Werning as soon as possible. Bring back the news that Jian Chen and the Elemental Clan are preparing to join forces to be unfavorable to the Empire, so that the Emperor ** team can take precautions as soon as possible.
Along the way, Mrak finally got a taste of what the so-called elementals were.
An aerial scout team composed of Fire Elemental Collectors and Qi Elemental Humans filled the sky in this area.
Occasionally, patrols of earth elementals and water elementals will be found on the ground.
In order not to be discovered by these enemies, Mlak had to abandon his horse and carefully hide his whereabouts.
Despite this, he waited until it was dark, when he had to make his way through the area under the cover of night, and was lucky enough to encounter a griffon scout team sent by Fort Werning.
Escorted by this team of griffins, the undead Mlak finally returned to Fort Werning late that night.
"Lord Rak! Is it really you? Hearing the news, the emperor officials who rushed to look at the embarrassed and disgraced Mlak who had been in prison for several days and escaped all the way, and couldn't believe that he was the earl who had always paid great attention to his appearance.
"Yes, I'm back!" Ignoring everyone's surprises, Mrak raised his legs and walked towards the government affairs hall, "Come here, tell me in detail what has happened in the past few days, and contact Her Majesty immediately, I have important news to report to her!" Also, the whole army immediately prepares for war! The enemies of the Elementals may be coming in soon! ”
On the eastern border of the Erathian Empire, in the military camp of the Emperor.
Empress Catherine lay on her own marching bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
Turning around again, Catherine suddenly found that no matter how hard she tried to calm down and fall asleep, no matter how heavy her eyelids were, her brain continued to run at high speed quite stubbornly, refusing to stop thinking.
This discovery made the empress sigh helplessly. In order not to waste time, she sat up straight from the camp bed and returned to her desk.
After lighting the candlestick on the table, Catherine's eyes involuntarily fell on a broken magic letter teleportation array on the table.
It was the teleportation array she used to communicate with Jian Chen. In a fit of rage that day, she impulsively threw this teleportation array to the ground, and as a result, it was broken.
Seeing this teleportation array, the empress felt a wave of remorse in her heart again.
After calming down, Empress Catherine finally realized that she seemed to be wrong to blame Jian Chen.
She didn't understand how she could make such a low-level mistake, the enemy's discord plan was so clumsy, there were so many flaws, as long as she thought about it, she would find many suspicious points.
Is it because there's been so much going on lately? Or did you lose yourself a bit because of an unexpected failure? Or is it the confusion that you care about Harmmondale because you care about it?
She wanted to reconnect with Jian Chen and find out the truth of the matter, but she reluctantly found that the magic letter teleportation array was no longer usable.
Thankfully, however, the sudden appearance of the Elementals gave her time to make amends for her mistakes, as the Elementals were stuck in the road between Fort Werning and Hammondal, and she had to stop the crusade against Jian Chen.
But at this time, the situation that Chen Jian had to face made her quite worried.
The Elemental Clan has not known friends or foes so far, and the envoys sent several times have not been able to get in touch with them.
Moreover, the Elemental Clan that appeared in Hammondale was constantly increasing its troops, and the intelligence from Fort Werning showed that the current strength of this Elemental Clan's army had reached quite an astonishing number.
And Chen Jian is now trapped in the city of Hammondale, which has become a lonely city.
In order to reconnect with Jian Chen, Catherine had already sent a small team of angels to Harmondale today carrying a new magical letter teleportation array.
At the same time, she also sent a letter to Chen Jian to Fort Werning, asking the defenders of Fort Werning to forward it to White Cliff Pass, and finally the defenders of White Cliff Pass, which was closest to Hammondale Castle at that time, managed to pass it to Chen Jian.
I don't know if Jian Chen has received his letter at this moment, and how will he respond to himself after experiencing such a thing?
If he had been furious and had taken refuge in the Cregans, with the information he knew and his abilities. How much will the Empire be hurt by this? And Hammondal, will it also be out of the control of the Empire again because of this? If he reveals everything he has painstakingly planned and secretly carried out in Hammondale, then his position in the empire will only be strongly impacted again. And many people in the emperor who hold the same ideas as Ma Lak are afraid that they will no longer support themselves because of this.
If he refuses to respond to himself, what should he do about it? Do you want to send someone to kill him before he can do more damage to the empire and yourself? Minimize the impact of this?
But it's a pity that such a talent can't be used by the empire.
Empress Catherine stared at the broken letter teleportation array in front of her, and was in a dilemma for a while, and couldn't help but be stupid.
