44. I've seen the young master
44. I've seen the young master
The commander took matters into his own hands, and the rest of the soldiers became a group of stragglers, and the morale of the dead wood immediately collapsed into a mass of sand, and after hearing the news of the death of the wood, they began to run in all directions, avoiding the pursuit of the knights as much as possible, and wanted to escape into the jungle.
It's just that the knights won't give them this opportunity, and as Caterina gave the order to kill them all, they suddenly turned into cheetahs with a keen sense of smell, leaving behind the shields in their hands, and only following the footsteps of the deserters with their swords.
When the sun went down and the sky was bright red, the battle was finally over.
At this stop, Caterina wiped out 300 enemy soldiers at the cost of losing no more than 30 knights, this result is really brilliant, but Caterina's face is not very good-looking, every knight here is the most elite force of her Sifes family, that is, because her grandfather is too spoiled by her, he will hand over such a force to her command, all of them are first-class knights, such a luxurious power, in the entire Sifes family, there is no more than a thousand in total!
You know, if this is in the plains, not in this kind of deep mountains and wild forests, with the advantage of war horses, she is even sure to reduce the loss of manpower to less than ten!
Looking at the remains of her companions who had been collected and sorted out by her knights, Caterina sighed with some sadness.
Ash and Nana stood quietly behind her, and not far away, after Orak had finished sorting out the body, he hurried to see her, walked up to her and knelt down on one knee and said:
"Miss, the casualty figures have been counted, we have lost a total of twenty-three people this time, and the enemy has been completely destroyed, I have already written down their names, should I start to ask people to be buried on the spot, or will they be transported back by war horses?"
Although he was very dissatisfied with Caterina in his heart and insisted on turning her head back to join the war despite his dissuasion, he didn't dare to show it in his face, in fact, he had complained to Caterina many times in the past because of this kind of thing, but the other party just didn't take it to heart, and over time, he was almost used to it.
Hearing this, Caterina frowned and thought about it, turned her back a little sadly, and sighed: "Bury it on the spot, move quickly, we can't go back for the time being, take them with us...... It's really not very wise. ”
As if he knew very well that his young lady was not in a good mood now, Orak immediately nodded when he heard this, and was about to retreat, but when he got up, he inadvertently raised his head, but his eyes happened to collide with Ash, who was looking down at him!
Looking at the young man with black hair and black eyes in front of him, after a short period of stunned, Orak suddenly rejoiced, stopped his steps to turn around, and the body that had already stood up sank again, kneeling to Ash on one knee and said, "Orak has seen Master Ash!" It's great that you're safe! ”
As soon as these words came out, Ash and Nana were stunned at the same time, although Olaf had a beaming expression, the atmosphere on their side seemed to freeze.
At the same time, Katarina, who stood stiff for a few seconds, only to see her turn around suddenly, first glaring at Ash fiercely, and then turning to Orlac and asking hurriedly, "Orark, what did you say!?" ”
Orlac, who didn't know what was going on, was a little stunned by Katerina's actions, and subconsciously replied, "Huh? I...... How do I say hello to Master Ash? ”
Hearing this, Katarina's head sounded 'boom', and then a flush appeared on her face, she was not ashamed, she was angry!
Katerina stepped forward, grabbed Ash's wrist, pulled him in front of Orak, and asked, "Do you know him?" ”
"Huh?"
Orak was a little confused, and did not understand why the young lady asked him this, almost out of habit, and honestly replied, "Yes...... Yes, my subordinates were ordered by the Earl to go on a business trip to Verte City with the team the year before last, during which I had the good fortune to see Master Ash at the Prime Minister's Mansion......"
"You...... You see it a little bit clearer. ”
Hearing this, Katerina dragged the surprised Ash to Olaf again, and said, "Are you sure, he is Ash. Profen!? ”
Seeing the other party questioning himself one after another, Orak had a question mark in his heart, and said in his heart that they came out this time to search for the whereabouts of Master Ash, and now that these two people are standing together, don't they know the identity of the other party?
Then why did they come to this valley with all the trouble this time?
It's just that he didn't dare to say these words directly, so he had to look at Ash carefully for a while, and then nodded and responded: "This is Young Master Ash, right?" Miss ......"
In the next second, his words were interrupted by Katarina: "Okay, you stand down!" ”
Orak retreated in confusion, and before leaving, he didn't forget to salute Ash.
Watching Orlac's back in the distance, Ash's mind was full of the roaring of trains, and 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart.
He really guessed right!
It turns out that she is really the person Caterina is looking for!
Thinking so, Ash put on an ugly smile on his face and looked at the two women beside him with some difficulty.
Caterina stared at him with a cold face.
She didn't understand why she had worked so hard, regardless of the danger, and risked being severely punished by her grandfather and father to sneak out to find him for so long, but the other party had to hide her identity so strictly?
A long-lost sadness and grievance surged from the bottom of her heart, which also made her face even colder.
Thinking so, she glanced at Nana next to her, and an idea surfaced in her heart: "Is it because he fell in love with this Thor woman and wanted to elope with him?" ”
On the other hand, Nana's big eyes were full of tears, she only felt that her feelings had been completely deceived by Ash, what orphans, what poverty, they were all deceitful! It turns out that he is really a high-ranking aristocratic son, it turns out that his status is so much higher than himself, and everything he says is a lie......
Looking at the very different realizations of these two women at the moment, Ash subconsciously felt a little ashamed!
He was stared at by the two women so directly, until half an hour later, when the grievances and anger in the eyes of the second daughter were about to turn into substance, Ash reluctantly cleared his throat, coughed twice and said with a dry smile: "Ahem, that, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it......"
"Please."
Katerina's voice was a little cold, Nana didn't speak, but she obviously had a tendency to burst into tears, and her two little hands were white, it seemed that if she continued like this, she would inevitably have another 'eldest lady's temper' to explode, and it might be more serious than every time before!
Helpless, Ash had to stumble over his experience, of course, there are things about the crossing and the system, he will not tell these two people if he kills, in his story, since he has a memory, he has fallen into a den of thieves in the barren stone road, that is, it is there that he met Johnson, Eddie, Aina and others who were also seriously injured.
And the next story is a drama in which he has a superior IQ, leading everyone to escape, and touching them with the spirit of never giving up and sacrificing himself, and finally became the leader of it.
As for what happened after entering Fit City, there was nothing to hide, and by the way, he also described Mo Feng's deal with him and Nana in detail, anyway, judging from the current situation, the other party would never deal with him, and if there was no showdown at this time, when would he wait.
Ash was very sincere when he said these words, his dark eyes were so clear that his acting skills were simply outstanding, and he actually calmed down the indignation and grievances in Katerina's heart.
It's just that Nana is not so easy to fool, no way, in comparison, she and Ash have been together for a longer time, the 'greedy for money, selfish, cold-blooded, cunning, scoundrel' side, but I have seen it well, at this time, she only thinks that although Ash is sincere, but this kind of drama like amnesia is incredible, and he can make it up, and she doesn't believe it if he kills her!
He definitely has more things to hide from himself, and what he said just now is definitely a lie!
Nana really wanted to punch Ash's flat face, clenching her fists several times during the process, but she was not willing to really smash it.
The tears in her eyes became thicker and thicker, and she was really aggrieved and confused in her heart, but it was not good to ask in front of Katarina, so she had to endure it secretly, which made Ash feel weak for a while.
On the other side, after listening to Ash's explanation, although Katerina still had some doubts in her heart, she could barely believe what he said, and finally frowned and whispered, "Deserted Stone Road?" It is indeed a long way from the place where you were taken captive...... But it was not impossible, according to the intelligence at the time, there was indeed a group of assassins fleeing in this direction. ”
As she spoke, Caterina held her forehead, and then said angrily and embarrassedly: "As for Mo Feng's side...... To tell you the truth, now that the city of Fitt has fallen, and there are still many people in the city, all hiding in his castle and barely surviving, if I turn against him immediately, I am afraid that he will jump over the wall in a hurry, and make an outrageous act such as defecting to the enemy, and besides, I have the people he sent with me......"
Immediately afterwards, Caterina roughly explained the situation in Fit City and her plans to Ash and Nana, and then spoke again: "In my opinion, it is better for you to hold back for a while, with me, that Nokran will never have the courage to make a move that is unfavorable to you, just wait until I move the rescue troops and recover Fit City, and then suddenly turn his face with Mo Feng and capture him, so that at least I can ensure that during this time, he can honestly protect the people in the castle, It is also said that the city of Fitt will not fall completely, what do you think? ”
Hearing this, Ash didn't intend to make a sound at all, but after seeing Nana, who had been staring at the former, hesitated slightly, she snorted and turned her head, and admitted: "The people are important, I have no opinion, but I'm worried about my eldest brother, he has been in the hands of that bastard for a long time, and now I don't know whether he is dead or alive!" ”
"Don't worry, Miss Nana, since you and Ash escaped from Fett City, he Mo Feng can't catch you for a day, and he won't dare to take your eldest brother's life for a day, otherwise he will do everything, and the news will be sent back to the Thor Ministry by you, unless you give up everything and escape from the empire, his life will be absolutely difficult to protect."
Caterina frowned and thought for a while, and said categorically: "Although your eldest brother is likely to suffer some flesh and skin, I am sure that as long as you are safe and sound, he will never be fine, as long as Mo Feng has a little brain, the worst will also use your eldest brother as the last hole card in his hand, ready to use it as a bargaining chip in the official negotiations between your Thor Ministry and the empire when you are desperate." ”
