Chapter 644: Solemn gaze
There are usually two routes from Kent to Standwell: one is to go through Augshire, Ruder and Saxoashire to the royal capital, first to the north and then to the west; The second is to arrive at Cartonshire, Rodland, Snowling, and Deciduous Fortress, first turning west and then north.
Compared with the two, the distance of the previous route is shorter and the road condition is better. However, at present, the eastern and northern parts of the kingdom are still plagued by demonic plagues, and even the county of Augur, which was only cleared some time ago, has discovered new demonic invasions, making the risk of passage high.
The other route, the path of Betita and Heber, is close to the southwest of the kingdom and is rarely touched by demons. Although the distance is much longer than the former, and some of the mountain terrain is inconvenient to walk, it can ensure maximum safety.
However, the final route was chosen as the first one. For no other reason, with a Grand Arcanist with him, there really isn't much to worry about so-called security. And the two royals also want to take the opportunity to see how powerful someone is. Because after several contacts over the past few days, neither Betita, nor Heyber, nor even Templar Keynes, have been able to find out the details of each other. It was as if the person standing in front of them was just an ordinary nobleman, who had nothing to do with the great arcanist.
After leaving Windsor Castle, the procession marched quickly.
Including the eldest princess, all the people rode on their horses, which greatly increased their mobility. In less than two days, the team left Kent and entered Oger.
As soon as you enter Augshire, a pungent smell of darkness and blood hits your face. And the fields around were barren, and there was no one to be seen. In the ditches on both sides of the road, you can see piles of bones, rotting and stinking, and mosquitoes and flies.
"It's so much worse than Kent."
Looking at the situation in front of them, the faces of the two envoys quickly became gloomy.
For several days, everyone was in the city of Kent, and all they saw and heard was peace and stability, and order was restored. Now it's back to this war-torn environment. The contrast is enormous.
"Hurry up and get to Camyo Fort before sunset!"
With a shout, Keynes gave the order, and the team continued to rumble forward.
Castle Kammy was the heart of the family after Engsberg was made viscount, and it is also the two major centers of Auger County today.
In the center of the other is Swan Castle, the fief of Viscount Cellular, the county's veteran aristocratic leader.
In this demonic disaster, the Cailuo family fought endlessly, leading the vassals to fight the demons in three heavyweight battles. All remain undefeated. Especially after the fall of Carlosburg, the original core of the county, Cello became the largest local flag of Auger County, co-presiding over the county with the newly arrived Viscount Ensberg and the new Baron Ethan, who represented the interests of Prince Heybe.
The team was scheduled to make a short visit to Fort Camyo and then to Fort Esen, which of course was suggested by Moriarty and Heber respectively.
When he saw Moriarty, who was already a Viscount and a Grand Arcanist, Viscount Ensberg couldn't help but sigh. But he quickly pressed a certain emotion, laughed and feasted with the guests, and the guests were in harmony. The Viscountess sat beside her eldest son, who had grown into a child, with a cloudy expression and a little fear of someone in the seat.
After two days of riding in a row, both Betita and Heiber were tired. After a short meal, I went to my room early to rest. On the other side, the Insberg father and son, as well as Hamilton, who had been specially found, gathered in a side room and had a secret conversation for a long time until dawn.
"Your Excellency... Viscount Reinhardt, he... Can I help you? ”
The Viscount of Ensberg had not returned all night, and the Viscountess had not slept all night, and seemed to look haggard and sensitive, just like the bright and touching Miss Faracia when she first arrived at the Ivy Manor.
Because even if someone has become unique under the name "Reinhardt" and has no direct legal connection with Ensberg, the Viscountess still has a shadow in her heart. Worried that the other party will make a comeback and take back the first inheritance of Ensberg that once belonged to him. Even more extreme. If someone secretly kills his mother and son, others, including Viscount Ensberg, will not arrest the "real murderer" without evidence.
"Don't think about it. His heart and purpose are too big for you to guess. ”
Having not slept all night, coupled with the long-term fatigue of the territory and the demonic plague, Viscount Ensberg was also extremely tired.
Looking at the Viscountess's pale face. Of course, Viscount Ensberg understood what the other party meant, shook his head, sighed softly, and went back to his study to rest.
The viscountess was left alone to stand still, thinking wildly for a long time.
Only stayed one night. Early the next morning, the team left in a hurry.
A few days later, another team arrived at Fort Camuel from Kent, led by Bruno, the three-flowered elf, and Victoria, who had an increasingly divine and ethereal aura.
It only took three days for Moriarty and the others to cross Augshire and enter Ruder County. It is also one of the hardest hit areas of demons, and there are still demon relegated legions entrenched in it, fighting against the local noble forces.
Sure enough, not long after entering the territory of Rude, hundreds of demons gathered together and blocked in front of everyone. And the murderous spirit was so fierce that he directly divided his troops to the left and right and outflanked them from both sides at the same time, as if he intended to surround the other party and annihilate them on the spot.
"That Demon Overseer is level twelve, right? No wonder they were so bold that they dared to bring more than a hundred little devils to surround and kill us. ”
Looking at the group of small demons roaring like rolling stones and the high-level demon in the distance, covered in blood red and burly in the distance, Haiber pouted disdainfully as he kept his mount calm.
"Lord Keynes? Viscount Reinhardt? ”
The eldest princess of Betita has the most inexperience in facing enemies, even if she knows that there is an extreme powerhouse beside her, but when she really faces the scene of demon rushing and killing on the battlefield for the first time, she can't help but have a fast heartbeat, a cold sweat, and anxiously look at the two of them.
"Lord Keynes, it is your duty to protect the two Highnesses, and you must not take it lightly. I'll leave the devil to me. ”
Eyeing the golden griffin, Moriarty suddenly said.
"Good! Then trouble the master! ”
I don't know why the other side is so aggressive, but both Keynes and Betita and Heber are very happy to see what they can do.
The next moment, I saw Moriarty wave his hand lightly, but no magic descended.
At the same time, a huge cavalry quickly rushed out, like a boiling thunderstorm, and slammed into the demon group with an unstoppable attitude.
That's exactly what Ferdinando. Gauguin is also a pinnacle senior warrior who is moving towards the road of "negative energy knight".
Seeing this scene, Betita and Heiber couldn't help but be disappointed.
Only Templar Keynes looked at the tall back that burst out of the assault, his eyes solemn. (To be continued.) )
