41. There is a difference between what is on the outside and what is inside

Katerina led Ash and Nana through the jungle in the direction she had predicted, and there was no trace of any enemy along the way, except for a handful of enemy soldiers, which she quickly eliminated, and it seemed that most of the soldiers in the valley had gathered in the direction of fighting Orak at this time.

Along the way, because of the sense of loss in her heart about the loss of her goal again, Katerina and Ash and Nana never spoke much, and the other two were silent all the way, Nana was worried about her eldest brother Lei Peng, who was unknown and did not know her life and death, and Ash was on the road from time to time while glancing at Katarina who was walking in front, while secretly frowning and thinking about something.

To be honest, although Ash was sure in front of Katarina, even he didn't know if he was the person the other party was looking for!

Less than two months had passed since he had crossed into this world, and Ash remembered that when he first regained consciousness, he was alone in the wilderness, which he used to think was very strange.

Moreover, his appearance in this life is different from that in his previous life, which shows that the body he is in should have existed in this world, but why would a normal person somehow run alone into that kind of barren mountains and wilderness without any supplies on him, resulting in the end for some reason, dying there?

And to say that the former owner of this body is a poor man, his skin is not ordinary, and he instinctively carries the skills and habits that only rich families can develop such as horseback riding and swordsmanship, and if you want to say that he is a rich man, what does it mean to be dressed in tatters like linen?

Finally, and most importantly, he looks too much like the boy in the portrait of the woman in front of him!

Although the age has spanned more than ten years, the eyebrows, nose and face, and even the eyes are almost the same as the current Ash carved out of a mold, and even when he saw the portrait before, he instinctively felt from the bottom of his heart that the person in the painting was definitely himself!

Besides, the man had the same name as himself--- Ash!

Is there really such a coincidence in this world?

Thinking like this, Ash's breathing unconsciously became a little heavier.

He wondered if he should just take this identity and go back with her?

It seems that this woman is not so familiar with the person she is looking for, at least she has not seen her for many years, otherwise she would not be looking for someone like this with a portrait of her childhood, but from her words, it can be heard that the family of this body is still alive in this world, as long as she goes back with her, it is possible to see it.

In that case, if your guess is correct, then wouldn't you have a home and roots in this world? Besides, there is also a dignified imperial prime minister, the Duke in charge......

"No, no! Not to mention that if I really wasn't that person, the duke would definitely think I was lying to him, and I couldn't bear the anger of a big man; Let's just say that I don't know anything about the past now, it will also cause the other party's doubts, and it will definitely show its feet in the future, and it will be difficult to explain it at that time, and the end is still unpredictable. ”

"As for the other side's forces...... I don't rely on it, with the base system in hand, sooner or later I will make a name for myself on this continent! ”

In the end, after a fierce ideological struggle, Ash still dispelled the idea of recognizing each other, and decided to wait for this canyon to immediately rush to his base near the Wastestone Road to join Johnson and the others.

…………

When Nokran saw Caterina from afar, he was at first overjoyed, but before he could quicken his pace and say a few words to the goddess he had loved, he spotted Ash and Nana following him.

When Caterina changed her route and came here, she only called him rescuing a friend, and didn't explain more, and as her personal guard, although she also knew Katerina's true purpose, she wouldn't explain more to Nokrand, an inconspicuous outsider.

It was only now that Nokran knew that the people that Caterina wanted to save were the two targets that the city lord hated to death and had been hunted down by himself for a long time.

And just when Nokran was stunned in place, not knowing what to do, Ash and Nana on the other side also saw his appearance clearly.

The two of them were not bad at remembering people, and they recognized almost immediately that the guy who took the lead in the opposing team was the one who led a group of soldiers who suddenly appeared in the dueling arena to round them up!

Nana almost immediately paused in her steps and distanced herself from Katarina, and at the same time turned her right hand behind her and touched her spear!

Seeing all of this, Ash hurriedly pressed her hand to draw the gun, and then glanced at her urgently.

He could see that Caterina didn't seem to know what was going on between the two sides, and at the same time, the look on the other side of Nochlan when he saw him for the first time was also taken into his eyes, as if the other party didn't know he was here beforehand.

He wasn't sure whose side Katarina, the only hope at this stage, would be on if the matter was exposed, so instead of taking the risk of exposing it, it was better to hide it for the time being and pretend that nothing had happened, of course, this had to be the other party's knight Noklan, who was under Mo Feng, had a similar idea.

The other party hasn't spoken yet, so Ash doesn't plan to act first.

Although Nana was puzzled by Ash's action to stop her, she still let go of her right hand after a few moments, but the vigilance in her heart did not let go at all, and her originally brisk steps became extremely slow, and the muscles in her body were tensed, ready to burst out at any time.

"Mr. Nochland, why are you? What about the Orlac people? ”

Katerina, who was lost in her heart, didn't notice the abnormal faces of Nokran and the soldiers behind her, and naturally she didn't know what Ash and Nana were thinking behind her, so she quickly walked to Nokran and the others, looked around, frowned and asked.

"Ah...... Yes! Venerable Miss Caterina, Captain Orlac is at war with the enemy forces stationed in this valley, and the battle is a little tense and I can't spare any manpower, so I will come to meet you. ”

Hearing Katarina's question, Nokran stumbled twice before hurriedly responding, but although the object of his speech at the moment was Katarina, the pair of thief eyes kept aiming at Ash and Nana on the side, as if he wanted to see something strange from the faces of the two:

"By the way, Miss Caterina, are these two the friends you mentioned earlier?"

Hearing this, Caterina was just about to answer, but Ash took the lead, pointed to herself and Nana and said: "Ash, Nana, we are Miss Katarina's old friends, thank you for this adult's help, I don't know what to call it?" ”

Katerina was a little surprised by Ash's stealing, but she wasn't going to explain anything.

Didn't these two guys recognize themselves?

On the other side, listening to Ash's words, Nokran breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Katarina's ability, he still knows, if he turns his face at this moment, he can't guarantee that in Katarina's heart, with his identity as a first-order little guard captain, he can compare to the two 'friends' on the other side, if Caterina really starts with himself, although he has a large number of people, but the victory or defeat is really unclear.

Besides, less than ten miles behind him, eighty knights were coming, and he himself was even more reluctant to do anything with Caterina.

With this in mind, Nochlan had to laugh dryly twice and said, "Your Excellency is polite, my name is Nockland, Nochland. Guevara, Miss Katarina's ...... Partner. ”

As soon as these words came out, Nana relaxed a lot, and Ash was even more relieved in his heart, it seems that the other party's thoughts are really similar to his own, so that at least before he separates from Katarina, he is safe.

"Mr. Nochland, we're done, it's time for us to hit the road, right?"

Listening to the two guys in front of her casually climbing with her, Caterina felt a little unhappy in her heart, plus she had always had a bad impression of this guy named Nockerland, so she seemed a little cold with her.

"Ah, yes, Miss Caterina, Captain Orac told me to take a detour back to the valley as soon as we meet you, and we'll set off ......"

As if seeing the impatience in Katerina's heart, Nokran replied with a sneer, but before he finished speaking, he heard Catalina flatly refuse: "No, go and join Orark!" ”

Hearing this, Noklan's face turned bitter, and he persuaded: "Miss Katerina, it's too dangerous over there, besides, the sooner you withdraw from the valley, it will also be good for Captain Orark's side, you don't have to fight the enemy army anymore, you can retreat earlier!" ”

When the words fell, I saw a trace of disdain on Katerina's pretty face, and said lightly: "Retreat? Why retreat? If the enemy has the audacity to brazenly enter the borders of my Verth-Empire, he should have the consciousness that all of them will die here! Is my Verte Empire a soft persimmon that can be kneaded by others, they come when they want, and leave when they want? ”

As she spoke, she glanced back at Ash and Nana who were standing behind her, and spoke again: "Mr. Nockland, I understand what you are afraid of, if you really don't want to face the enemy, then please help me escort these two friends out, and you can be counted as having made some contribution." ”

The disdain in Katerina's words was not concealed in the slightest, but in Nochland's ears, he did not feel the slightest harshness.

The first point is that he is indeed timid, compared to his life and dignity, he is naturally the first more important, not to mention that these words are not said by others, as long as a beauty like Caterina says it, even if it is a scolding of his mother, it sounds very pleasant to the ear.

And the second point is because of the identities of Ash and Nana.

As long as this errand is followed, without Caterina staring at him, he can say that Ash and Nana are tied up and sent to Mo Feng, and at that time, Mo Feng will definitely reward him heavily! A pie falling from the sky, who doesn't want to be on the shelf?

As for Katarina's side, he only had to say that these two people would take the first step as soon as they got out of the valley, and in fact, he would break their hands and feet, and let the two subordinates find a secret place to guard them, and when the reinforcements of the Blood Armor Army arrived, as soon as Fit City was recovered, he would be able to present these two gold foils in front of Mo Feng!

Thinking like this, Nokran almost didn't think about it, and was about to agree, but Ash, who was standing behind Katarina, took the lead again, and said righteously: "We are willing to go to battle with you!" As for the runaways, Mr. Nochland, you do it alone, and don't care about our feelings. ”
