The shopkeeper who came out to see the bustle remembered that Alan had said before he left that the Knights Templar were chasing him, and he thought it was just a bragging, but now it doesn't seem to be a wild word, and the Knights Templar are really here.

I have a chance to avenge the robbery! It's best to catch that beautiful girl who doesn't want to make amends.

The boss tidied up his appearance and took the initiative to report the whereabouts of Allen and the others to the leader of the cavalry.

Knowing that Alan had just set off this morning, the cavalry leader was overjoyed, and he passed through the town to find out the whereabouts of Viscount Benn and others, but he didn't expect that now the information was sent to the door, and he gave an order, and the griffons in the sky immediately took the lead to search for the traces of Alan and others, and he led his men to follow closely behind and chased down the path to the west.

As soon as the cavalry team rushed out of the town, there was a sudden "bang" in a nearby wood, and a white line rose from the woods, and finally a cloud of white smoke exploded in the sky hundreds of paces.

The fugitives are sending signals. ”

The captain of the cavalry saw the smoke in the sky and immediately realized that it was the person who Viscount Benn had arranged for him to keep watch here, and it meant that Viscount Benn was not very far from here.

"You guys go check in the woods, and the others keep chasing me. ”

The cavalry leader gave the order to move at full speed.

On the other side, Alan and his party, who had left the town, were walking unhurriedly on horseback, and at noon a large river appeared in front of them to block their way. There was a ferry crossing by the river, and there was a boat across the ferry, which had been contacted by the people sent by Alan in the morning, and was waiting for them here. As soon as Alan and the others arrived, they immediately gave the boatman fifty gold coins to wrap the boat, and these fifty gold coins were coerced and lured by Allen to loot all the servants, and it was not easy to get them together.

"Everyone rests for a while, prepares lunch, and then crosses the river after lunch. ”

To everyone's surprise, Alan not only did not rush to get on the boat, but ordered to rest.

"Your Excellency the Magician, it looks like we've just had breakfast, and we're not hungry now. ”

The servant below, who was in a hurry to escape, asked questions.

"It's okay if you're not hungry, Miss Jean is hungry. ”

Alan pointed to the girl beside him. The maiden also rode horses, and rode well, even more than some of the manservants, much to his surprise.

"Me?"

The girl asked, pointing to her small nose, surprised.

"Cooperate with that. ”

Alan whispered.

"Why am I not you?"

"I have very small meals. ”

"Mine is smaller. ”

"You said you wanted to come over to help, you don't want to understand what happened yesterday, you have to help today. ”

"This..."

The girl hesitated.

"No, will it? Miss Jean had breakfast too. ”

While the two men were arguing in a whisper, a servant questioned.

"Miss Qin has a tiring journey, and it is normal for her to have a large amount of food. ”

Alan lied a little, and his old face didn't blush.

"Your Excellency the Magician, to be honest, did you deliberately wait here for the Holy See's pursuers?"

The servants were not stupid at all, and had already guessed Allen's purpose.

"Look, it's all the result of your unhappiness, what now?"

Alan complained to the girl.

"Let me come!"

The girl glared at Allen, took a few steps forward, and wanted to find a higher place to speak, Allen saw this and hurriedly chanted a magic spell to make the ground bulge, and then the girl stood up, cleared her throat and attracted everyone's attention and said. ，

"Everyone is right, the reason why Alan chose this way is to wait here for the pursuers of the Holy See, but everyone thinks about what his purpose is in doing this, isn't he afraid of death?"

"He really doesn't seem to be afraid!"

Someone below muttered uncooperatively, but the girl ignored it, and continued to say loudly:

"He was trying to make sure that he could attract his pursuers, so that Viscount Benn would get farther and farther away from here and reach Baden without any problems. How the viscounts treat everyone, everyone should know in their hearts, if they lose such an owner, it will not be easy to find the same one in the future. What's more, as an outsider, Alan is still willing to make sacrifices for the Viscount couple, can you do the same with the Viscount's favor?"

The girl's bright eyes looked around, and everywhere she looked, everyone felt that their fears had been swept away.

"I do. ”

A servant raised his arms and shouted.

"It is our duty to protect the Viscount, and I will not back down!"

"yes. We can't beat the people of the Holy See, but if we can succeed in distracting them, we will do our duty. ”

The girl's words ignited the servants' gratitude and the pride of the protector, and they swept away their previous timidity and began to become passionate.

"Well, it's much better than yours, isn't it?"

The girl came down from the mound and glanced at Alan triumphantly.

"I have heard for a long time that the Holy See's demagogic skills are first-class, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation. ”

Alan gave a thumbs up and praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Hmph! ”

The girl turned her face away and ignored Alan.

"Good. Next, everyone is to do exactly what I ask you to do. ”

Alan smoothly took the baton from the girl's hand, and then selected a guard of similar height and size to the Viscount, and asked him to change into the Viscount's clothes to pretend to be the Viscount, as for the Viscountess, of course, it was the wise and martial Miss Jean to impersonate.

Since it was a play, it was like a little bit, and although everyone didn't have a little bit of hunger, everyone still started to prepare lunch.

While the servant was on fire, Alan walked back and forth along the riverbank, throwing in a piece of wood from time to time to test the speed of the river, then he reached into the river to feel the temperature, and a cold feeling hit him couldn't help grinning, and finally he took out a magic circle inlaid with blue magic crystals and fiddled with it. The girl kept following Alan and asking how he was going to get rid of the pursuers.

"If you say it, it won't work. ”

Alan looked unfathomable.

"Bang!

Just as the water in the pot was boiling, a puff of smoke suddenly appeared on the mountain peak not far away.

"The papal pursuers are coming, and we must prepare to cross the river. Everyone got on board and set off. ”

Allen, who was sitting by the river, stood up, patted the dust on his body and said, this signal was originally arranged by him along the way, which meant that the pursuers of the Holy See were already very close to here.

The shipowner, who had enough gold to buy the entire ship, obeyed Allen's advice and used the boat to transport the horses across the river before returning to carry the men.

As soon as the horses were transported, a griffin had already appeared in the air, but this time the griffon rider had learned his lesson and carefully hovered in the far sky and did not get closer, which is exactly what Eren wanted to see, if the distance was closer, the griffon was likely to find that the team was a little less people, and might even see that the viscount was a fake.

Alan then instructed the boatman to carry the man over, and instructed the boatman to re-open the boat to the other side and abandon it immediately.

The boatman didn't understand why Alan had asked him to do this at first, until he saw a menacing cavalry coming from the end of the road, and he realized that he might be in trouble, so he abandoned the ship and fled ashore.

When the cavalry arrived at the riverbank, they saw that the people on the opposite bank were fleeing in a hurry, so they took off their compound bows and shot at the opposite bank.

The river at the ferry is very gentle, the width is about more than 100 paces, and the effective range of the bow and arrow is about 200 paces. At this time, the people on the other side had already hid two hundred paces away, and although the flying feather arrows caused them a certain amount of panic, they did not cause effective damage because they were too small in number, and several guards blocked them with oak shields in their hands.
