Chapter 108: The Grand Duke dies
In the White City.
Just when the caravan began to be stationed.
Sarah and Hilda also galloped through the White City on horseback.
Not long ago, Sarah and the others left Lu Yu's caravan and met the cavalry who had arrived from the White City.
Sarah quickly stepped forward to identify herself, and when the cavalry knew of Sarah's return, they were immediately overjoyed, and Sarah was also very happy to see the cavalry cheering.
But Sarah's joy didn't last long, and under the telling of Barrit, the seventh-order professional war bear who led the cavalry, Sarah learned a news that made her almost collapse.
It was after learning the news that Sarah quickly took Hilda and Barritt the War Bear to gallop in the White City.
After galloping with several people, Sarah also came to the castle in the White City, which is also the last line of defense in the White City, the White Castle.
After Sarah and the others rode into the White Castle, Sarah quickly dismounted and hurried towards the castle.
After seeing Sarah hurrying into the castle, Hilda and Barrett the War Bear quickly followed behind Sarah.
As Sarah progressed, the three of them came to the castle's study.
In the middle of the study was a large desk, and on the seat behind the desk sat a young man with a pale face. From his pale and frail face, it could be seen that the young man in front of him was very weak.
As Sarah entered the study, the young man was stunned for a moment, and then when he saw Sarah, his pale and weak face immediately smiled, and with the appearance of the smile, it could be seen that the young man's face became rosy.
"Sarah, you're finally back! I thought I wouldn't see you again in my last days! ”
The young man smiled brightly and said to Sarah.
Although the young man had a bright smile on his face, it could be seen from his still somewhat pale and weak face that the young man was not far from death.
Hearing the young man's words, Sarah burst into tears, then quickly threw herself on top of the young man and hugged him.
"Woohoo! Brother, what's wrong with you! You were fine when Sarah left the other day! Brother, don't leave Sarah alone! ”
Hearing Sarah's cry, the young man just looked at Sarah with a look of pity, and at the same time gently patted Sarah on the back with his hand.
As the young man continued to pat lightly, Sarah stopped crying and looked up at the young man.
Because judging by the young man's movements, Sarah knew that she might soon have to face a cruel truth.
The young man immediately gave Sarah the brightest smile ever when he saw the look in her eyes, but when she saw the smile in front of her, Sarah panicked.
"Don't, brother, don't say it! I don't want to listen to anything! ”
Hearing Sarah's words, the young man gently patted Sarah on the back to stop Sarah's words, and then spoke softly.
As the young man spoke, the other people in the room also left the study with sad faces, because they knew that the Grand Duke was about to leave.
Seeing the young man's whispering, Sarah immediately cried, because she knew that if she heard the next words, she would lose the last family member in the world.
Although Sarah tried to stop the young man from talking by crying, it was clear that the young man quickly used his momentum to stop Sarah's nonsense. And when she was stopped by her brother, Sarah also saw that her brother's still slightly ruddy face had become even paler than when she first met her brother before.
After seeing her brother's pale face, Sarah also knew that it was time for her to recognize reality.
So Sarah immediately stopped messing around, sobbing as she listened to her brother's story.
As the sun rose again in the east, Hilda, who was waiting outside her study, heard a cry of grief.
With this cry, the atmosphere in the entire White City also became strange and silent.
When she heard the crying, Hilda quickly entered the study, and as Hilda entered the study, Hilda also saw that the pale young man who had been sitting behind the desk had fallen on the chair with a smile on his face.
Sarah, on the other hand, lay on the young man's body and wept loudly, shouting incessantly.
"Brother, you promised me that you would take me on horseback riding and fishing together in the future! You haven't done what I promised, you can't die! Woooooo ”
Hilda quickly understood the situation after seeing Sarah's expression and the situation of such a young man.
Although Hilda had been mentally prepared before, it was clear that it was only after the actual incident that it was so frightening that it would be.
Just when Hilda was panicking, Barrit, the bear of war, took advantage of his old age and quickly commanded the servants to begin to dispose of the body of the Grand Duke of Wood, and at the same time arrange the succession assembly arranged by the previous Grand Duke of Wood.
Yes, the pale young man sitting behind the desk in the study of the White Castle is the new Grand Duke of Wood, this young man who has just obtained the position of Grand Duke, although he succeeded to the throne and became the Grand Duke, but he has not yet enjoyed the power of the Grand Duke, he has to face his uncle's rebellion, and before he can quell his uncle's rebellion, he died very sadly in the study.
With the death of the Grand Duke, the entire White City was in chaos.
Although Barrett the War Bear did his best to control the news of the death of the Grand Duke, it is clear that there are no impermeable walls in the world.
Knowing that the Grand Duke had fallen, the civilians in the White City began to flee in all directions.
You must know that the Grand Duke is still alive, and the people in the White City still have a glimmer of hope for victory, but after knowing the news that the Grand Duke has died, many civilians in the White City Principality are no longer willing to live and die with the rest of the Wood family.
And Lu Yu, who was camped outside the White City, waited in the camp for Grand Duke Wood to send someone to trade after seeing the sun rise again, but no one came to the caravan after waiting for a long time.
Seeing that no one came to the caravan, Lu Yu also began to call everyone in the caravan to be vigilant, Lu Yu guessed whether the Grand Duke Wood wanted to snatch this batch of goods, so he also began to let everyone in the caravan start to dismantle the tent and leave at any time.
Just when Lu Yu organized the caravan and was about to leave.
In the shadow behind Lu Yu, a figure appeared.
When Lu Yu saw the figure from the shadows, he was immediately overjoyed.
"I'm so glad to see you here! If you don't come back, I'll think you've been caught! ”
After hearing Lu Yu's words, the figure snorted coldly and said to Lu Yu at the same time.
"Even those garbage in the city still want to catch me, dream!"
Hearing the jackal's answer, Lu Yu laughed.
"How's that, do you hear any news?"
Hearing Lu Yu's words, the jackal responded.
"Hear a big news, if it's true, we're going to see a chaotic escape right away!"
Hearing the jackal's words, Lu Yu glanced at the jackal, then asked the caravan to stop and was on alert.
Last night, Lu Yu sent the jackal to Baicheng to investigate the news, for Lu Yu, the news is the most critical, and only with the news can he ensure that he can face various situations flexibly. Obviously, judging from the current situation, the effect after sending the jackals out last night was very obvious, and there was a lot of harvest in one night. Because according to the character of the jackal, he won't tell Lu Yu if there is not much news.
Then Lu Yu took the jackal and Dracula and rode forward for a distance, and then looked at the gate of the White City in the distance from a small hill.
Just after Lu Yu observed for a while, the gate of Baicheng was opened, and with the opening of the city gate, many civilians ran out of the city, and after they left Baicheng in a hurry, they scattered in a panic.
After seeing Bai Cheng's strange appearance, Lu Yu squinted his eyes and asked the jackal.
"Something big has happened!"
Hearing Lu Yu's words, the jackal suddenly laughed.
"Archduke Wood is dead!"
Hearing the jackal's words, Lu Yu was taken aback for a moment and turned his head to look at the jackal.
When the jackal saw Lu Yu looking at him, he also saw Lu Yu's surprised eyes.
From Lu Yu's eyes, the jackal also saw a trace of disbelief.
For Lu Yu's distrust, although the jackal was a little angry, he also understood, because the news was too amazing.
"I've investigated this news, and the source of the news is an escaped servant in the White Castle!"
After hearing the jackal's words, Lu Yu nodded, since the jackal said something, Lu Yu must believe in the accuracy of the news in the jackal's mouth, you must know that everyone who is caught by the jackal and asks for the news will not be able to leave the jackal's men intact.
After confirming the accuracy of the news, Lu Yu also notified Roger in the caravan through the soul contract, and asked him to lead people to find those fleeing civilians in the early stage, although he knew the reason for their escape, but Lu Yu still wanted to know some other news.
After hearing Lu Yu's order, Roger also quickly selected a few people from the slave cavalry, and then galloped away in one direction with a few slave cavalry.
And as Roger galloped away, Lu Yu also informed the vulture and the blood eagle who were far away at the same time, so that they could also find a civilian team to understand the situation.
After knowing Lu Yu's command, the vulture and the blood eagle lifted the hide on their bodies, then took out their horses from the shadows, mounted their horses and rode towards the civilians in the distance.
After waiting for a while on the small hill, Lu Yu received the news that Roger and the others had completed the mission, and after making sure that everyone had completed the task, Lu Yu turned around and returned to the caravan with the jackal and Dracula.
As Lu Yu returned to the caravan, Roger and the three also returned to the front of the caravan to meet Lu Yu.
After Lu Yu saw Roger, several people began to exchange all kinds of information they had discovered.
