Chapter 217: Discovery
"How so?" Looking at the empty streets in Fort Grey, the eldest prince Dreyeus said angrily, according to his shot, Augustine must have moved the people from the three towns in front to his own Greyburg, but he didn't expect that there was no one in this Greyburg.
Twilight is speechless as she listens to Dreyus's words, and he wonders about Augustine's plans.
"Your Royal Highness, Augustine can't be found in the city." Ragus then walked over and saluted Dreyus, then said.
"Run, he must have run through another door, Saric with the royal knights to chase, Ragus, send all the scouts out." Dreyus ordered Saric to say that he had to catch Augustine in the Northlands this time, otherwise he would not be able to do his job.
"Wait, Your Highness the Prince, are we going to rest and recuperate, and then we will go when the troops are ready." Twilight stops Dreyus at this point, and he suddenly thinks of the siege of Dreyus in the expansion, and Augustin's escape is likely to be a trigger.
"No need, if I delay any longer, I'm afraid that Augustine will run away." Dreyus did not listen to Twilight's advice.
Seeing this, Twilight opened her mouth, thought about it but didn't speak again, he wanted to say that Augustine wouldn't run either, and that his goal was you, Dreyus, but since Dreyus had already given the order, he would only resent Dreyus if he said more.
For a moment, watching the scouts of the First Legion and the Royal Knights go out of another gate of Fort Grey and start to disperse and search, Twilight is thinking about the plot of the original ambush and siege of the eldest prince Dreyus in the expansion, because he paid too much attention to the level and equipment in the game, he didn't study the plot of Dreyus in detail, Twilight only remembered that there was a person called Sad Ruins who had something to do with Dreyus, and it was not too far from here, Twilight thought about it and decided to go there to see.
Twilight immediately calls Dumb, Zagrel, and the werewolf lose their hearts, and the four of them and the dragon begin to explore further north of the Northlands.
As the sun slowly sets westward, the horses trot all the way, and the surrounding mountains begin to rise and fall, and seeing that the sky is getting darker, and he has not yet found the sad ruins of his memory, Twilight begins to consider whether to come back tomorrow, knowing that he does not know what else Augustine has to wait, if he does take refuge in the Church of Shadows, then the Twilight Four will be in danger.
Just as Twilight prepares to return home, there is a chaotic sound of footsteps and a commotion behind a hillside on the right, and a large group of shadows gradually emerge from the setting sun, from far and near, drawing the attention of Twilight and Zagreel.
As the four of Twilight were on guard, hundreds of big fat men rushed out of the hillside and screamed towards Twilight with rumbling footsteps.
"How are these guys?" Looking at the group of big fat men who rushed out, Twilight breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time looked entangled, what is this, I can meet these dead fat people when I walk down the aisle, Twilight doesn't remember that there are ogres in the Northland.
If you say what is the most widely distributed creature on the continent, in addition to kobolds, I'm afraid it will be these ogres, except for the sea, as long as there are not densely populated places on the continent, ogres will appear, and if there is milk, it is a mother, and the group brawlers are all called by these big fat people.
Seeing hundreds of big fat men getting closer and closer, and staring at you with the eyes of food, even Twilight, who has experienced various war scenes, also feels a little numb, and then Dumb asked, "What should I do?" Shall we fight?"
"Fart, know to hit, run!" With these words, Twilight pulls on the reins and turns around and runs, and Sagrel on one side quickly turns his horse's head and runs.
Dumb looked at the two fleeing horses and the werewolf running on two legs next to Twilight, and then looked at the ogres who rushed over and turned around without saying a word, and the ogres, of course, refused to let go of the food in their mouths and quickly chased after them.
The ogre was tall and ran with all his might, no slower than Twilight's mounts, and it was a little difficult to get rid of them for a while, so Twilight could only run to Greyburg with the big fat men.
Twilight and the ogre chase each other, but it makes the young dragon Dena Gostan hanging behind him feel funny, and he will occasionally yell at the ogres behind him.
"Stupid dragon, grow your brains, don't taunt me here." Twilight pats Denagostein back, and Denagostein becomes honest.
Don't look at the ogres are all big fat people, but they have a lot of stamina to chase their own food, and they run for a quarter of an hour, and they still bite behind the four of Twilight, and they don't know what these ogres think, they all ran so far, as if they had identified Twilight and a few people, and Twilight wondered if they were hungry and crazy.
After about half an hour, Twilight suddenly sees a team in front of her, and Twilight rushes over to find that it is a few hundred members of the Royal Knights.
The four of Twilight stopped when they ran to the Royal Knights, and were chased, Twilight couldn't swallow this breath, when had he been chased like this, and now that he had a helper, of course Twilight had to do it.
"These ogres are too arrogant, brothers, cut them down for me." Twilight's arrogant way is quite the style of a generation of bigwigs.
Needless to say, Twilight saw that these ogres had no intention of stopping, and the royal knights directly urged the war horses to meet them, and these ogres may have really been hungry and red-eyed.
The strength of ogres is generally at the third to fifth order, coupled with their strong strength, and they don't know what their faces are, as soon as there is a fight, they will hula all rush over and beat, which makes them the robbers and bandits that many people don't want to encounter, even the current royal knights are not so easy to deal with these big fat people, fortunately, the ogre attack has no rules, and they only wear pants made of fur or rags, plus a simple mind, the defense is almost zero, as long as you pay attention to dodging the big stick mallet in the hands of the ogre, it is easy to fight a lot.
By this time the sun had completely set, and the number of ogres was quickly reduced to half, but there were also some royal knights who were knocked off their horses with a mallet, but their armor saved them, otherwise it would have been fatal.
As more and more of his companions died, it was only then that someone in the ogre suddenly came to his senses, and then twisted his ass and turned his head and ran away, regardless of the rest of the clansmen.
In the end, a small number of ogres escaped, and the royal knights did not chase after them, at which point Saric came over and said helplessly: "How can there be ogres here?"
"I don't know, but these big fat men have chased me all the way." Twilight asked, "By the way, why are you going in this direction too?"
"I just interrogated the captured soldiers, and some of the soldiers saw that Ogudin was running this way, so Prince Dreyus asked me to chase after him." Saric was also speechless, and Augustine didn't find it, and he fought with the ogre for no reason.
Twilight and the Royal Knight soon return to Fort Grey, and Twilight and Saric tell the story that even if Dreyus is unwilling to escape from Augustin, he can do it today, and it will have to be tomorrow to chase him.
Twilight had just taken off his armor while Denagostan lay on his bed and fell asleep a little groggily, the first time in the Northlands, when he first met Dreyus.
Twilight guesses that Denagostein absorbs some of the energy of the deceased's soul, but his body is too small to consume these soul energies quickly, so Denagostan's body instinctively appears drowsy, just like when a baby is born, it needs to sleep for more than ten or twenty hours a day.
Walking to the bed, Twilight looks at Denagostan, who is still lying on the bed with a glimmer of sparkle, and smiles and rolls over on the bed.

The next day, the troops assembled early, and after breakfast, with a command from Dreyus, the First Army and the Dreadnoughts marched again in the direction he had gone yesterday.
The team walked further north, for about three or four hours, and the scouts who were exploring the way in front ran back.
"Your Royal Highness, there are buildings and troops ahead."
When he heard the news, Dreyuston was shocked: "Army? Take us to see it. ”
At Dreyus's orders, the scout hurriedly walked to the front and began to lead the way, and it didn't take long for him to enter a small mountain range that was not very high, and after walking along the mountain path for a while, Dreeus and Twilight saw several magical towers that shimmered with magical brilliance.
Walking a little further, a valley appeared in front of everyone, and when they approached the vicinity of the valley, they saw that the entrance to the valley was very narrow, and very long, probably enough to accommodate five or six people side by side, and on both sides it was full of cliffs and shrubs, and in the middle of the valley the road began to widen, but they saw that the city wall and the gate were built in the middle of the valley entrance, and there were still many soldiers standing on the city wall.
Looking at the Yiē Dereus in front of him, his face darkened, this place can be regarded as a dangerous place, and the valley at the front end is so narrow, a large device like a trebuchet should not be used at all.
At this time, Twilight's heart is also abrupt, it turns out that this is the original appearance of the sad ruins, but then there must have been a change or a great war, and this place was destroyed, and even the mountain was mostly razed, and it became the sad ruins of some low-level undead wandering later. (To be continued......)
