The long night is coming to an end.

After resting for most of the day, Vega took Thea and Carol in the direction of the city of Saint Laurent.

Plan according to the route of Vega overnight.

He will try to avoid the cities along the way, not on the main national roads, and on sparsely populated routes, which will slow down the arrival of Saint Laurent for a few days, but will ensure that nothing will happen again.

When an incident occurs, it is not just a day or two that drags on.

"Your Royal Highness, the road ahead is difficult, please bear with me. ”

After Vega told the two of them the route, he deliberately cared about Thea, after all, she was the canary of the dynasty, and Vega decided to let her prepare mentally first, and the next thing she had to do was a difficult path.

"With the general here, Thea is not afraid of anything. ”

Princess Xia smiled, not worried about the future, this smile looked in Carol's eyes, couldn't help but be a little jealous, since he forcibly took the princess out to today, he has never seen such a bright smile.

But this smile is not something Carol has never seen.

When he was in the palace, Xia often showed him such an innocent smile, but this smile that represented unreserved trust no longer belonged to him, and it was Vega who replaced him.

Although there is no evidence to prove it.

Even Thea herself didn't know.

But it can already be seen from all indications that in the heart of Sia Saint Laurent, Vega has risen from the second in the sequence to the first in the sequence.

So for the next few days, the road was uneventful.

The mountain path is indeed rugged and difficult, and even Vega, a professional and magician, is a little irritable, and of course it is even more unfriendly to Thea, a canary who is inferior to ordinary people, or even ordinary civilians, but Thea endured it along the way.

Vega had thought that the pampered Thea would not cause trouble, and that this peaceful situation would last until Saint Laurent.

After all, Thea is a princess.

As long as Thea doesn't speak, Carol, a die-hard guardian knight, dares to disobey the princess's orders.

But when a small town was resting halfway through, contradictions still appeared.

The cause of the incident came from a folk rumor.

This rumor is that the southbound Kellison forces defeated the 100,000 pursuing troops of the Kingdom Army, killing more than 10,000 Kingdom troops in total, and the Kingdom Army withdrew into the port city to defend.

Now Kerrison's forces are facing the enemy forces that are far away from the port city.

Now there is only one step left, as long as you can take this port city, you can return to the west coast safely.

The civilians have already discussed that it is natural for Kerrison to defeat the pursuing forces of the Kingdom Army, and he will be able to capture the port city and return to the West Bank, contributing to the counteroffensive forces on the West Bank.

Vega himself was dismissive of this news and the chatter.

A group of civilians who had never led soldiers, without even detailed information, tried in vain to dictate the battle situation, even if he himself did not dare to make such a bold speculation without intelligence, at most he could only make a rough deduction.

So how do you deduce it?

If the rumored news of Kerrison's defeat of the Kingdom Army is not wrong.

Then according to the intelligence, it can be concluded that Kerrison must have found a dangerous place where the aviation unit could not deploy, and ruthlessly attacked the kingdom army. However, it was only a handful, and the news only said that the Kingdom Army suffered 10,000 casualties, but did not mention the aviation troops.

That's not the point.

What's more, Callison actually failed to stop the pursuing force of the Kingdom Army, but let them enter the port city to attack first, and then everything was over.

The layman looks lively.

In Vega's view, Callison did not force the Kingdom army to retreat into the port city, but failed to prevent the Kingdom army from entering the city.

A few words are just a few words, and they are thousands of miles away.

But not everyone is an expert like Vega, this Lushia did not cause trouble for Vega, but it was Carol who brought this contradiction.

Carol completely believed the rumors and rumors of the people.

The pessimistic view of Vega is obviously not in agreement, and now in his eyes, Kellison defeated the Kingdom Army, and Callison forced the Kingdom Army into the port city, and Cliffrison is the first in the world......

Kellison is the future savior of the dynasty.

So after Carol struggled for a night, when he was cooking by the river the next evening, he had a showdown with Vega—

He's going to take the princess south to find Kerrison.

Carol's thinking is very simple, Princess Thea is orthodox, this time Theon dares to do something to Thea, it is estimated that it is done secretly from everyone, if he takes the princess and General Callison back to the West Bank.

So do the people of the West Bank still dare to attack the princess?

If you secretly start the troops under Admiral Kellison, they will not be vegetarians, and when the time comes, when Her Royal Highness the princess is crowned and the dust settles, the situation in the West Bank will naturally be stable.

Carol's abacus clanged.

It seems that Callison can 100% take the city and return to the West Bank, and he is even thinking about not being able to catch the last train if he goes late, as for Vega...... That's a last resort when there's no way out.

With a new choice, who has to rely on an imperial general?

Viga was amused by Carol's optimistic and unoblivious words to the current situation, and he felt that it was no longer possible to wake Carol, the man who was pretending to be asleep, with his point of view, and he really could not win against an unreasonable person.

So he turned back to Xiya and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the lower official is not blindly analyzing, but rationally deducing according to the current war, and does not despise your country's army, Your Royal Highness Princess, it is the right choice for you to return to Saint Laurent with me." ”

"General Vega, I believe in you. ”

Thea is like a fan sister, and she chooses to believe whatever Vega says: "Carol, I won't go south with you to join General Callison, if you want to go, you can go by yourself." ”

Seeing this, Vega breathed a sigh of relief.

The master agreed, and even if a subordinate wanted to object, what could he do.

But then Carol's behavior broke Vega's cognition, and he actually said strongly: "Your Highness, for the sake of the rise of the dynasty, please listen to my opinion." If you insist on refusing, for the sake of Your Majesty and the future of the dynasty, your subordinates have no choice but to cut it first and then play, and you must not be deceived by the people of the empire. ”

"Carol, you!"

Xia was so angry that she blushed and said, "Is it the dynasty or my Thea Saint Laurent that you are loyal to?"

"May I ask Your Highness, is there a difference between the two?"

Carol was quite unreasonable: "In the eyes of His Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess is the princess of the dynasty, and her minister's loyalty to the dynasty and her allegiance to the princess are not in conflict, so for the future of the dynasty, please listen to my Royal Highness." ”

"Carol ......"

Princess Thea slowly closed her eyes and let two crystal tears fall: "From today onwards, you are no longer my guardian knight, and I don't need you anymore!"

From childhood to adulthood, Carol's scenes flashed like a slideshow.

Thea's last sentence was almost hysterically shouted, and after shouting, she turned her gaze to Vega: "General Vega, Thea begs to follow you and don't let Carol take me away again." ”

The blood flashed, and the long sword was in hand.

Holding Doran's Blade, Vega stepped forward to block Thea's face: "As a subordinate, dare to offend the dignity of your master, Lord Carol, you have lost your qualification to be a human vassal. ”

"Hmph, you think you won me?"

Carol sneered, not taking Vega seriously.
