Chapter 418: The Road to Revenge

Although the Sleepers are a cult that makes people talk about it, the psychic network they have established is really amazing to Gawain, and it is hard for him to imagine how a group of cultists would have thought of establishing such a psychic network and building a virtual world in the psychic network when the overall level of development of this world is still in the Middle Ages—not even just the psychic network, there are too many things in this world that are inconceivable in Gawain's opinion, and it maintains a backward darkness that is almost medieval at the bottom, The top level is as advanced as the near-future world on Earth, two diametrically opposed, contradictory situations appear in one world at the same time, although knowing that the cause of this situation is the unique development law of magic technology and the aftermath of the magic tide hundreds of years ago, Gawain can't help but be amazed from time to time.

Just like now, he saw Patty in the psychic network who had not been seen for many days, and the two people who were hundreds of kilometers away could talk face-to-face in the psychic network, but in fact, in the real world outside, most ordinary people may not hear anything new happening in the city next door for the rest of their lives.

The thought of this was unbearable for Gawain - the transcendents of this world may have become accustomed to enjoying convenient magical techniques while appreciating the struggles of the common people and the poor, but the more he came into contact with them, the more he could not accept them.

Fortunately, a key step in Mowang's communication technology has been taken.

When Gawain felt these emotions in his heart, Patty, who was sitting next to the flower bed and resting, finally saw "Uncle Sercy" not far away—the little girl was sitting alone today, and she didn't run around, which is really unusual—she got up from the bench and waved her arms at Gawain: "Uncle! Uncle! I'm here! ”

Gawain had already confirmed that there was no Selena Gerfen around, so when he heard Patty greet him, he greeted him with a smile, and he glanced at the little girl curiously: "Alone today?" ”

"Sister Serena seems to be sick these days and hasn't been here," the little girl pouted, as if she was slightly unhappy, "Uncle, you too, haven't shown up for several days......"

"Uncle is usually busy." Gawain smiled and pressed the little girl's hair, but there was a trace of doubt in his heart: Selena Gell is "sick"? Are you really sick? Or is there a big project for the Eternal Sleeper? Or is something else going on?

Of course, there were no answers to these questions on little Patty, and Gawain only had a slight doubt in his heart, so he put them aside for the time being and chatted with Patty.

Then, without surprise, he heard the news about Glenn's current situation—

"Mother is out with a lot of knights," said Patty, not very happily, "and the people in the castle say that there is a war going on outside, but they all think I'm a child and don't want to talk to me more...... Only the maid sister told me that my mother would definitely come back......"

"Of course, you have to believe the maid's words, and your mother will definitely come home." Gawain smiled and rubbed the little girl's hair and said.

Of course, he knew the whereabouts of Baroness Penny Gülen.

The baroness must have gathered the remnants of the nobles scattered in the northern regions and was leading them to the Rock Fortress on the border of the plains of the Holy Spirit, with the loyal guards she had cultivated over the past ten years, and dozens of well-trained and equipped Cecil soldiers, she was on her own path of revenge, and she was unstoppable, fearless of any pain and suffering.

The hatred accumulated over a decade of forbearance was not so easy to unleash, and the bombardment on Gravel Ridge was the beginning of Gawain's reconquest of the South, and for Baroness Le Penny Glenn, Gawain had never imagined that the feeble-looking lady would do this—even he was shocked when she sent a secret message that she would continue to send the nobles to their deaths.

But he knew that he had better let Penny do it, and no one could do it better and more dedicatedly than her.

All he had to do was do what he had promised - destroy the last of the noble rebellions when the time came, and protect Glenn and her daughter in the process.

He looked at little Patty, who was sitting next to him dangling her feet, and asked casually, "Mother is not at home, are you afraid?" ”

"I'm not afraid," Patty craned her neck with a proud face, "I'm so bold!" And there is a maid sister with her at night...... And the new maids and guards in the castle recently, and they will tell me stories. ”

"The new maids and guards." Gawain said casually, and his heart settled down slightly.

The so-called "maids and guards" entered Glenn Castle through Baroness Penny before the war began, and were trained Steel Ranger warriors and MIA operatives tasked with protecting Plenny Glenn's castle and daughter while she was away from the realm - in addition to monitoring Glenn's situation.

Gawain trusted Lady Penny and believed that she would not break his covenant with her even for revenge, but he could not trust the loyalty of the rest of the noble realms of this era, especially in the place where Glenn had a history of rebellion, and Penny Glenn herself apparently agreed.

No one dares to guarantee how long the stability of the Glenn Territory will be maintained in the case of the Baroness leaving the territory and "her whereabouts are unknown", according to the information that Gawain has so far, in Carol, Peibo, Consco and other regions, there has been chaos within a week after the news of the disastrous defeat of the noble coalition has spread, and he can't let the Glenn Territory also have this situation.

Looking at the little girl Patty in front of him, Gawain fell into thought slightly.

By this time, Oppenny Glenn should have arrived or was about to arrive at the Rock Fortress, and according to the agreed schedule, it was time for him to send men to "receive" Glenn's territory - after all, it was easy to suspect that Cecil's army deliberately ignored Glenn after a great victory.

……

Trekking through the wilderness, eating the poorest food, wearing tattered clothes, not only to wrestle with the mud and gravel of the wilderness, but also to be ready to wrestle with the wandering wolves and brown bears...... The past ten days have been a nightmare for Carroll and his companions.

Not to mention the shadows of the Cecils in this nightmare, and the shadows of terrifying magic with a shrill whistling sound that could cause a devastating explosion around them at any moment—although they were not very present in the second half of this nightmare, Viscount Carol still couldn't help but feel chills when he remembered what he had experienced on Gravel Ridge and on the way to escape.

But fortunately, there will be a time to wake up from any nightmare, and the long night will eventually usher in the sunrise.

After more than a dozen days on the run, the last remaining noble army, and perhaps the last glorious bloodline of the southern lands (at least so the people in the team think), finally reached the end of their escape.

On the northern border, the magnificent fortress that towered over the boundary line of the plain of the Whitsunday finally appeared before them.

When the majestic walls of the Rock Fortress came into view, Viscount Carol almost burst into tears, and the wind blew on his face, which was cracked and gray from many days of arduous trekking and neglect of maintenance, as if it were cut by a blade, but at this moment the Viscount was completely able to tolerate and ignore this pain, and he immediately waved his arm and said loudly to Viscount Consco, who was beside him: "Look! Rock Fortress! We're finally here! We're safe! ”

"Thank you, the gods...... "Viscount Consco" said excitedly, not forgetting to glance at the admirable and ambitious lady who was leading the team not far away, "and thank Lady Penny Lotney...... She really saved us all! ”

Viscount Marie Oran couldn't help but glance in the direction of Penny Gülen, and after seeing the slender figure on the horse, a complicated look appeared on the face of the viscount whose territory was only separated by a small river from Glenn's territory.

This is really a determined lady...... It is indeed determined.

But his complicated expression at this moment was fleeting, and the peace of mind that came from arriving safely at the Rock Fortress overcame everything at this moment.

The commander of the Rock Fortress, Sir Maryland, who is directly loyal to the royal family, stood on the high walls, watching everything around the fortress with a wary look.

The news from the north and south of the fortress in recent times has worried the high-ranking knight lord, who has heard of a great change in the royal family—although only a part of it is not very certain, but it seems that a great change is about to loom over the kingdom, but it is in the south that something more worrying: south of the Rock Fortress, the Cecil family, who had been silent for a hundred years, finally stopped being silent.

The caravans from the south to the north brought shocking news, and the news was one after another, first saying that more than forty nobles in the south suddenly united to conquer the Duke of Cecil, and then it didn't take long for the news that the 70,000-strong noble alliance was wiped out by Cecil's Great Magician Regiment—I don't know where this Arabian Nights' "Great Magician Regiment" came from.

Sir Maryland couldn't believe they were true when he received these messages, just kidding, a coalition of 70,000 men! How many people are there in Cecil now?

That's 70,000 people, 70,000 led by noble lords and knights! Even if it's 70,000 pigs, if you give them to Cecil, you can't catch them so quickly, right?!

However, what happened after this was so disturbing that Lord Maryland could not resist believing that what the merchants from the south said was true—and since then, all communication with all the noble families of the south has been cut off.

The nobles of the remote region may not have any contact with the Rock Fortress for months, but even the Carol family, a hill to the south, has lost contact with them, which is not a good situation.

Sir Maryland walked a little irritably on the wall, wondering whether he should send a squad of knights to the south to check on the situation—or send a team of emissaries to visit the Carol Lord, but just as these thoughts came to him, one of his own soldiers suddenly ran up from the side.

"General! Underneath the Fortress...... There's a big crowd under the fortress! ”

Sir Maryland was in the habit of having his soldiers call himself a general on any occasion, a habit he had developed since he took charge of the fortress, and looked at the slightly flustered pro-soldier in front of him, and the general's face was slightly unhappy: "What are you panicking about—a large group of people?" ”

"They look like beggars - but they claim to be the nobles of the South!"

Sir Maryland's expression froze.

He didn't seem to need to send any knights and messengers to the south.
