The wheels of the Mars armored car "clang" on the concrete pavement.

As Sergeant Rand had said, the demons were unable to destroy the armored vehicle's sturdy shell, and the Mars safely escorted Queen Anne out of Irontown.

According to Sergeant Rand's plan, they planned to take refuge in the nearest town of Grey Moon and get in touch with the army in Elbeshire.

Unfortunately, the Mars was still halfway to Greymoon when the engine broke down inexplicably, and Sergeant Rand was so frustrated that he didn't fix the engine, so they had to stop here.

"Hell, this broken machine doesn't move...... Rand angrily kicked the steel plate of the Mars, and the Grimm machine gun on it almost fell off, "Forgive me, Your Majesty, next time I will never modify second-hand goods!"

Anne slowly got out of the car holding Blue Snow's hand, and saw that outside was a deserted plain, a small stream that was almost dry ran near them, and a few thin, tall trees stood sparsely beside the stream.

The long wind swept through the grass, and the brass-colored armored car was like a small island in the vast sea of grass.

Anne looked at the town in the distance, which was almost impossible to see, and it was really unexpected to end up with such a hasty escape, what went wrong in the plan?

She felt that someone must have betrayed her, causing a gap in the plan, which caused the demon to awaken prematurely.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for a few people to destroy the plan!

So, maybe this time the demon appeared in the town, could it be the same...... Thinking of this, Anne only felt a wave of fear and chills, she was really as isolated as an island.

"Come, my Majesty, won't you sit down and rest?" Rand sat down on the dirt floor, leaving a large flat stone for Anne and Blue Snow, and he laid out the beer and jerky that had been turned out of the armored car, "Look, today's lunch, although simple, still tastes good. With that, Rand was already nibbling on the jerky with his beer, eating it with relish.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Lan Xue saw Anne sitting on a stone with her legs in her arms, her eyebrows lowered, and a faint melancholy flashing in her eyes.

Lan Xue may be the first time, or the first time since she became a queen, like a girl, she will be melancholy, she will be sad, and she will hold herself tight, thinking that she will not be hurt that way.

On second thought, wasn't Anne a girl in the first place...... It's just trying to disguise yourself in the cloak of a queen.

"Snow, I don't trust them, I doubt them. Anne finally confided in herself, "I think it's my lords and ministers who want to take everything from me. They are the ones who are planning to kill me. Her voice was trembling, she had never been so low, "Just like murdering my father five years ago, using the pretext of an accident to murder me!"

Lan Xue hurriedly pressed Anne's shoulder, and she saw cold sweat on Anne's forehead, and the mechanical arm made a "click" sound.

"Don't do that, it'll be fine, Sergeant Rand will send us back to the royal capital. Lan Xue whispered comfort in her ear.

"I suspect that someone has sabotaged this plan. Anne calmed down and thought, "The purpose is to make me die." The call of hell, in fact, I know that if we had arrived a few minutes earlier when the black fog appeared, we would have been buried in hell, and the demon attack in the town this time......"

"But who would do that?"

"Princes. "I don't know when, Sergeant Rand has already come to the two of them, "Duke Luciu, Prince Montgomery, Prince Duncan, it's all possible." ”

When Anne heard this, she let out a long breath, as if something she had been afraid to confirm had been affirmed by others, "I can't be defeated by them." She clenched her fists, "No matter who it is, he wants me to die, then I want to live to the end, watching the person who wants me die die!"

"If that's what you want, then I, Rand, will fight alongside you. The sergeant picked up the screwdriver and screws, and began the repairs on the Mars, "By the way, can Your Majesty tell me a little bit about the first plan? ”

"Tell you?"

"Please trust me, Your Majesty. Rand bowed his head and knelt down, and said respectfully, in a resolute and sincere tone, "I am willing to fight for Your Majesty with my sword until the last moment, and I am willing to share my troubles with Your Majesty." He drew his melee sword and raised it above his head, the sunlight casting a golden glint on the blade.

Anne didn't know why, she wanted to trust him but didn't dare, maybe there were too many mutinies, she was already numb to trust. There is only one person, Lan Xue, who can be trusted.

Because Lan Xue is her only friend in Elbe, and it was she who saved Anne's life in time during the bombing five years ago.

Five years ago, Anne was willing to trust anyone, but now, she would rather not trust anyone.

"The first plan is a royal secret, it's not that I don't trust you. "It's because I'm worried about leaking the news." ”

An intriguing look flashed across Rand's face, but only for a moment.

"As you wish. He said, and then climbed to the bottom of the armored car to start repair work.

Anne and Linköping parted the jerky and reluctantly took a sip of beer, only to feel bitter and not quenching their thirst, which was much worse than the cold wine from the royal cellar.

But in this wilderness, without an army or vassals, Anne's title of queen is useless, and where is there any royal specialty?

It turns out that when you are in danger, it is the same for both the king and the commoners.

"The devil is there with you and me, my Majesty Anne. Perhaps it is safer in such a wilderness than in a noisy city. Lan Xue said what was in her heart, "But I also understand that you must go back." ”

Yes, it does. Anne was never complacent with the status quo, and she was already thinking about how she would clean up the mess when she returned. The biggest concern now is the possible betrayal of the prince and the war with the Northern Empire.

"Your Majesty. Rand suddenly said while repairing the car, "I'll give you an idea, if the demon's attack on Tier Town was organized and planned, then their purpose is likely to be to murder you, right?"

"Possibly. ”

Rand smiled and removed a few nails, "Then someone wants you dead." "Forgive me, you can think about who would benefit the most if you died, and you would know who might want to harm you." ”
