40. The heroine leads the way

As she spoke, Caterina stared into Ash's eyes as if trying to see something flawed, but after a few seconds, she was disappointed.

I saw Ash's eyes staring at the portrait in her hand, and her eyes were full of surprise, as if she was also wondering why she was so similar to the eyebrows of the child in the painting, but the emotion in her eyes was nothing more.

"This kid looks quite similar to me, but this young lady, I may not really be the person you are looking for, I'm just a smuggling merchant, what kind of duke, the prime minister's eldest young master, has nothing to do with me at all......"

As if he was a little moved by this person's awesome identity, Ash's voice was a little hoarse, and he spoke after a few seconds of froze.

Hearing this, Caterina felt a little stunned in her heart.

She knew very well that if the other party was really the person she was looking for, in such a situation, there was no reason to hide her identity, and the reason why she would ask again and again was just to hold a glimmer of hope and not want to give up easily.

It seems that this person is really not the one he is looking for.

Thinking of this, Caterina sighed faintly and put away the portrait in her hand.

"That's it."

I saw that Caterina said a little tiredly, and in an instant, her attitude towards Ash became a little calmer, and then she looked at the two opposites and asked: "This matter is abrupt to me, please don't blame, it's just that I still want to ask you another thing." ”

Hearing this, Ash smiled and replied, "Miss, please speak." ”

"Did you set a fire in the camp of the Lawrence Emperor?"

Ash was stunned when he heard this, thinking that he and Nana had never told anyone about arson, and he had been on the run since then, how did this woman get there?

Could it be that she is so well informed?

Ash, who was puzzled in his heart, naturally didn't think that Katerina was completely guessed by himself, but it was not good to show the doubts in his heart immediately, so he had to nod lightly and admit it after a moment of silence.

This is nothing to hide, anyway, judging from the other party's action of killing those soldiers and saving herself and others, she will not be from the Lawrence Empire or Mo Feng's side, and those two people still wish they died early.

"Looks like I guessed right."

Caterina smiled in her heart, and said to the two again: "Yes, if you dare to provoke the army of an enemy country with thousands of people and save the people of a city, I will thank you for the people of that city first." ”

Hearing this, Ash also smiled faintly, waved his hand and said: "Miss is serious, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, as a citizen of the empire, this is what should be done." ”

Listening to his words, Caterina was slightly stunned, only felt that this guy spoke strangely, some did not understand, but she felt that it was very reasonable, what country rises, and the husband is responsible...... What an interesting person!

Thinking of this, Caterina nodded a little strangely and continued to speak, "What did you say...... It also makes sense, in fact, I came this time, accompanied by nearly a hundred knights with good combat strength, and now they have entered this canyon, with their help, it is definitely not difficult to defeat the enemy army and break out of this canyon, would you like to join me? ”

As soon as they heard that the other party wanted to help themselves break through, Ash and Nana were unwilling, so they immediately nodded in agreement, but Ash quickly reacted and asked a little strangely: "Since there are so many knights together, why did you appear here alone?" ”

"I thought you were the person I was looking for, so I was a little anxious......"

Caterina said as she straightened her gear, gave a thumbs up, and gestured to the mountain wall in the distance.

Ash's cheeks twitched, "Don't tell me, you climbed the mountain." ”

"Exactly, what, is there a problem?"

Caterina replied disapprovingly, not even a hint of teasing.

Ash and Nana looked at each other a little blankly after hearing this, and then swallowed their saliva in unison, Ash only felt that he had underestimated the strength of this woman, and his heart was a little hairy, but after thinking about it, with such a cow person by his side as a bodyguard, the hard life of himself and Nana was finally over.

After a few seconds, I saw Ash laugh, then made a gesture of please, and said, "Heroine, please lead the way!" ”

Hearing this, Katerina's head tilted unconsciously.

Woman? What is this called?

It can't be an insult, right?

…………

Just as Ash and Nana were following Caterina on the road, the canyon was on the periphery, and the two sides of Orak and Woodin finally collided together.

At this time, the canyon has completely lost its former peace, the grass is covered with scarlet blood, the two people and horses in silver and blue armor collide fiercely, the intricate and narrow forest is chaotic, the cold light and blood of the sword blade have become the only main theme here, screams and angry scolding come and go, every second, there is a life falling.

"Miller! Protect the right flank, don't mess up! Fernand, come with me for a while! ”

Armed with a heavy sword, Orak commanded his men majestically, he had just cut off the head of an enemy, and the broad blade was completely covered in blood, thinking that he had already gained a lot.

It's just that although he is very calm on the surface, he is very impatient in his heart, there is no way, his own young lady ignored the dissuasion, and dived into this canyon one step earlier, although he knows the young lady's skills very well in his heart, but he is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, if the young lady really has any accidents, then he Orak even if he has ten heads is not enough to compensate.

The combat power of Orlac's side was obviously much higher than that of the other side, so as soon as the two sides fought, they immediately gained the upper hand.

It's just that with the passage of time, the people and horses scattered all over the canyon on the wood forest side have gradually gathered to this side, and the gradual advantage in numbers, although it can't reverse the form on the battlefield at the moment, but it has also temporarily slowed down the enemy's pace, and in this way, it has also made Orrac more and more impatient, no longer adopting the previous steady and steady strategic style, but becoming very aggressive, which also makes the entire team gradually scattered in this small and unclear vision environment, and the scene is becoming more and more chaoticThe pace of the battle is getting slower and slower, and it has become a very difficult thing to achieve a quick victory.

Thinking of this, Orak frowned tightly, and then, as if he had made a decision in his heart, he turned his head to the knight beside him and ordered: "Camus, you take twenty people to break out, and meet the young lady first, after the convergence, immediately send someone to tell me, and then go back to the mouth of the canyon and wait for us!" ”

Hearing this, the knight under his command was about to agree, but Nochlan, who had been leading a dozen of his men to hide behind Orlac, rushed over with a 'whoosh' and hurriedly said, "Captain Orark!" I think it's better to leave this task to me! ”

"Over to you?"

I saw Orlac frown, looked at this guy who had been cowering and hiding behind from the beginning of the battle to the present, almost without thinking about it, he was about to open his mouth to refuse, but before he could say the words of refusal, Nanokran spoke again: "Captain Orark!" Although the knights under your command are strong, but the number of enemies is too many at this time, and the battle situation is already unclear, if you draw out twenty people at once, won't it make matters worse? ”

"Besides, although my combat strength is a little lower, but it is the best physical strength at this time, if you want to find Miss Caterina in such a large canyon, you must have to rush a lot, most of your knights are wearing heavy armor, and their physical strength is also consumed a lot, and these people under me are only wearing light armor, and they are full of strength, which aspect is more suitable for this task, I don't need to say more, right?"

Nokran persuaded him in a straightforward manner, which made Orlac, who was concerned about the battle situation at this time, a little confused.

Although he felt that it was inevitable that he would not be at ease to put the safety of the young lady in the hands of the unreliable guy in front of him, the other party's analysis at this time did make some sense, and the knights under his command were all heavily armoured, and they were indeed not very suitable for walking the mountain road in this canyon.

After closing his eyebrows and thinking for a while, Orak finally nodded with difficulty: "...... In that case, I'll trouble Mr. Nochland, and, as I said before, I ask you not to come back to join the battle here after you find Mademoiselle, but just send someone to inform me, and then go back to Taniguchi and wait. ”

"I understand, definitely!"

Hearing this, Nokran immediately agreed, with a righteous and awe-inspiring look on his face, but he smiled secretly in his heart: I think it's so dangerous here, I won't come if you ask me to come, as long as I can go to Miss Caterina
