The small episode did not affect the actions of the whole team.
The group quickly cleaned up, then mounted the war horse they had been carrying with them, and began to run through the woods.
The temporary camp they chose was already close to the outskirts of the forest, and it was only a few hundred meters outside to break away from the forest, so the vegetation in the vicinity gradually began to become thin, and the more they went out, the more dense the vegetation became.
As a result, horses that were unable to run flexibly in the depths of the dense forest due to dense trees everywhere now have plenty of room to move.
The next step is to leave the forest, which is beyond the plain and has a wide field of vision, which is good for detecting enemies earlier, but again, enemies will be able to spot them easily.
Therefore, they must not delay on the plains, and must cross the plains as fast as they can, and the speed of riding war horses is undoubtedly faster than walking on their own.
The group did not delay, even Prince Henry, at this moment, he rode alone on a war horse to move with the team. As a member of the royal family, Prince Henry, although he has been pampered since he was a child, has also experienced military training, knows how to use long swords and bows and arrows, and is naturally not a problem to ride a horse.
After all, in the context of the medieval world of Western Europe, horseback riding, except for the soldiers in the army, was basically an activity only played by the aristocratic upper class.
Even the princess, who looked delicate, actually knew how to ride horses. It's just that now considering that she is pregnant and has just been frightened, so Lotus asked the remaining middle-aged female knights in the team except for Melty to sit on the war horse with the princess, so that she could take care of it nearby.
After the death of Rajs and Little, the two of their horses were not let go, but were taken back to the makeshift camp, and considering that they might be needed in the future, Lotus took them with them.
The sound of horses' hooves echoed in the grassland, and the group swept up the dust and galloped towards the looming city on the distant horizon.
That's exactly what Sidegate City is aiming for next, Lotus and the others. At this moment, almost three minutes had passed since they had officially left the forest.
Soon, Melti's pretty face suddenly changed slightly, and as she was running, she controlled her horse and approached Lotus at the front of the team, and shouted at him in a deep voice: "Be careful, there is an enemy coming!"
Rotes's face sank, and he glanced at the city of Bian, which was still far away from each other in his field of vision, and after estimating the distance, his face was a little more dignified.
According to his experience, they should still be at least ten kilometers away from the city of Frontier Fortress. The scale of the city of the Fortress is very large, almost no less than the royal capital, but at this moment, in their perspective, they can only barely see a very vague and tiny phantom of the fortress building on the horizon, which shows how far the distance between the two sides is.
Wangshan ran a dead horse, this is the case.
According to Lotus's estimates, according to the current speed of the war horses, they will need to run for nearly half an hour or so before they can really reach the jurisdiction and patrol range of the garrison of the city of Biansai.
And this nearly half an hour is the last chance for the enemy country's troops to brazenly pursue them.
Therefore, Lotus had long expected this scenario when he encountered the enemy's pursuit on the road, and it would not be surprising at this moment.
"Which direction, how far?" he asked, not talking nonsense, and asked Melty directly.
"Sideways and behind, at four o'clock, about nine hundred meters away! It's approaching us!" Melti closed her eyes and listened for a few seconds, then made a judgment.
In this world, there are already simple scales, similar to a sundial, on a round stone plate carved on a number scale representing the clock, in the center of the stone plate inserted in a vertical stone needle, and then through the sunlight on the stone needle left on the shadow of the shadow position on the stone disk below, to determine the current specific time scale.
Therefore, it is also derived from the idea that the number on the disk scale is used to specify the direction.
"Where's the number?" Lotus asked.
"It's unknown for the time being, but it should be higher than five and less than fifty. This time, Melti gave a vague number.
Lotus wasn't surprised either.
After all, Melti was riding a horse at high speed this time to listen, instead of lying on the ground to perceive the vibration information transmitted from the ground as before, so the accuracy of the information heard would inevitably decrease.
But he didn't specifically order the team to stop at this time and let Merti listen to more detailed information, because in this way, it would inevitably waste a lot of time and slow down the speed of the entire knight team.
The enemy in the rear is pursuing, and stopping at this time is completely giving the other party a chance.
Moreover, Lotus was sure that the pursuing force of the enemy country was definitely not the only one that Merti had heard about now, so even if they stopped and dealt with it, they would also give other enemies a chance to get closer, and thus be entangled by them, and in the end they would only be completely dragged down by more and more enemies.
Therefore, the best thing to do is not to stop for a moment and continue to maintain a high speed.
The group continued to move forward, but they were all mentally prepared for a battle with the enemy.
Soon, Melti's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said, "Be careful! Their horses are faster than ours, and I'm afraid they will stop us halfway! Moreover, it seems that they have sent a signal to inform the other companions!"
Hearing this, Lotus subconsciously turned his head, and sure enough, he saw that on the horizon behind him, there was a small-looking blurry red smoke floating in the air and gradually spreading with the wind.
It was a fireworks flare designed to summon friendly forces in the vicinity who were far away, and it had already been shown once before when Rajs had asked for help from enemy forces.
"Those guys are trying to inform others nearby of our whereabouts!" everyone, including Lotus, immediately figured out the key.
"Captain, do you want to get rid of them?" someone in the team asked.
"It's too late!" Lotus shook his head with a gloomy face, and said, "Keep going!"
But after a minute, Melty was heard again: "They're firing flares again!"
Hearing this, Lotus immediately looked back at the sky behind him, and sure enough, he saw another red firework exploding in the sky behind him, and this time the firework was significantly closer to their position than the last time.
Lotus looked down, and sure enough, he saw a group of men on horseback chasing them with whips.
The distance between the two sides has been narrowed to within 700 meters at this moment. At this distance, with Lotus's eyesight, he could even tell the specific number of people and clothes of the other party.
"Is there eight people in total...... Instead of wearing heavy knight's armor, he was wearing light armor and chain mail?"
It is no wonder that the speed of the opponent's war horses can be faster than them, the equipment on this group of enemies is at most a set of light armor, although the defense is much lower than the white rose knight armor on their side, but it is lighter in weight, plus the quality of the opponent's war horse is not bad, and most of them have more physical strength than their side, at this moment the other party is urging the horses to run with all their might, and the speed is naturally faster than them.
Actually, Lotus thought, at this speed, the White Rose team can also run, but the problem is that that speed is equivalent to a human sprint extreme sprint for a war horse, although it is fast, but it consumes a lot of physical strength, even if it is a high-quality war horse, it is impossible to last too long if it sprints at full speed.
The White Rose team is still a long way away from the city of Biansai, and with the pursuers in the rear, the plain terrain is obviously not suitable for stopping and resting, so he also let the war horses in his team maintain a normal speed to advance.
Along the way, I also encountered some small groups of pursuers sent by enemy countries, ranging from a dozen to forty or fifty.
Through the interrogation of the first five enemies he encountered outside the plains, Lotus knew that although the enemy nation had anticipated the direction of their escort team out of the forest, the information they had obtained was not accurate, and they could only roughly infer a very vague range.
Hence the Rotes

With a worried look in his eyes, he said, "Everyone in the team has more or less rested, but I'm afraid you two haven't had time to rest, especially Melti......"
He turned his gaze: "This kid, it's really okay to go back and forth for so long just now?"
Originally, Melti had been using her listening and perception ability before, leading the team to bypass the enemy country's blockade defense in the forest again and again, and the energy consumption should definitely be the largest one in the entire team.
When the team temporarily stopped to recuperate, she went out of the forest alone to reconnoitre, and then when Rajes and the princess were betrayed, she rushed back to the rescue, and finally supported Prince Henry to drag the pursuit of the enemy troops.
After so much work, this young girl should be the most tired, but she doesn't get enough rest, does it really matter?
As soon as Duolun said this, the other White Rose Knights also reacted, and they all looked at Melti with nervous and concerned eyes.
Along the way, Melti's ability and performance have long been recognized by these knights, and she has basically become the most important core of this team, and in their eyes, the importance of this little girl is almost comparable to that of Prince Henry.
All the knights in the squad didn't want anything wrong with Melti due to excessive exhaustion.
Lotus patted his head, his face a little annoyed, and he realized that if it hadn't been for Doron mentioning it, he would have almost ignored it.
It's no wonder that Lotus, it's really Melty's performance that is too deceptive. When Lotus had spoken to Melti before, he had not noticed any tiredness on the little girl's face, and since he had been distracted by other things, he naturally ignored the fact that the girl was probably very tired.
However, Duolun's thoughts, in Melti's opinion, are a little too worried.
As soon as Lotus looked over, she shook her head and said, "Thank you for your concern, but it's okay, I'm not at the point where I need to rest." ”
"But......" Lotus tried to persuade again, for he felt that the little girl might be being reckless.
"We don't have that time anymore. Uncle, didn't you just say that, there are more pursuers than before, and we may be chasing after us at any time, so it is wisest to get out of here as soon as possible. Melti interrupted Lotus calmly, saying, "If I delay because of me, and everyone is caught up by the enemy and put in danger, then I am guilty." Now, the most important thing we should do is to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince and the Princess, instead of caring about me, right?"
Lotus was still hesitant.
"Uncle, don't worry, I'm in good health, but at this level, I'm not tired at all. Melty smiled slightly: "Don't you already know my powers?"
"Good. Hearing this, Lotus finally made a decision and waved his hand: "Since that's the case, let's go." ”
After speaking, he looked at Melty again, raised his hand and patted her shoulder, and left a deep voice: "Little girl, if I find out that you are actually reckless, uncle, I will be angry, you know?"
No one noticed that the moment before Lotus's big hand fell, it shifted to a small figure on Melti's other shoulder, and he rolled his eyes secretly as he looked at the fan-like palm that slapped on his original position.
"yes, I see. ”
Only Melti noticed this scene, and responded to Lotus with a somewhat uncomfortable smile, and by the way, she broke away from Rotes's palm without a trace.
Lotus reacted and smiled wryly, although he felt that he seemed to be disliked, he didn't pay much attention to this, he could also see that this little girl seemed to be a little cleanliness.
