An idea gradually formed in Fern's brain, and he glanced in the direction where Kaya was, only to see the girl looking around uneasily, like a frightened fawn, which reminded Fern of the past experience, and a trace of pain flashed through his heart.

"I have a suggestion...... "Fern plucked up the courage to say it, and the others immediately looked at Fern as if they had seen a savior. "It's too risky to move forward, and we can't afford to take that risk, so the only way out now is on the side. ”

"Side?" Miles looked to his right, "You mean this side?"

"That's right, we can only have the best chance of escaping if we break through from this direction. Fern paused and continued, "Even so, it's just the most likely compared to the other directions. ”

Miles nodded, "I understand that there is no one way that is necessarily feasible, and we can only choose the relatively best way now. ”

"Yes, in that case...... Fern looked up at all the mercenaries, "let the horses continue to walk forward, hopefully to lead away some of the Doyle, all of them break out to the side, and at the same time a few people need to walk at the back to camouflage our footprints, although the Doyle are not so easy to deceive, but at least they can delay a little time to disperse their forces." ”

"That's a good idea, time is running out, let's do it, let's start preparing, and start breaking through in three minutes!" Myers gave the order decisively.

Everyone was getting busy, and Fern felt a sense of familiarity, and he grabbed Miles, who was about to go to the horse, "Miles, what if...... I mean, if ......," Fern swallowed, "this won't save us in the end, I hope you'll forgive me." ”

Miles patted Fern on the shoulder again, "Don't worry, no one will blame you, you've done a great job." Then he nodded and walked towards his mount.

"Wait a minute!" Rui suddenly appeared behind Ferne, and Ness followed Rui as well.

Miles stopped and turned to look at Rui. "What's wrong with this mage?"

"Yes. Rui crossed his hands over his chest and stared sharply at the old mercenary. "Now that we're in the same boat, you should tell us what the Doyles want. ”

Miles smiled slightly, "You're right, I shouldn't hide it anymore, in fact, chasing the dark tide is not the real purpose of the Crows. The old mercenary's gaze looked at the hunter, "The hunter has a thing in his possession, and our mission is to hand it over to King Doyle." ”

"What is it, worth risking so many lives?" Rhemar asked rhetorically.

"Then why did Dias come and snatch it, aren't you going to give it to Doyle?" Stan couldn't help but take a step forward.

Myers' gaze swept over Ryan and Stan, and finally at the mercenaries who were busy driving their horses, "Do you know why we were able to defeat the Wraiths and Ghouls so easily without losing a single man......? Hallows, holy weapons that can stop the tide of darkness. ”

Ray and Ness glance at each other in a flash of realization, and Stan anxiously wants to ask him another question that he hasn't answered.

Miles waved his hand, motioning for Stan not to rush. "The reason why Dias came to loot is because he doesn't want the people of Wallis to know that Doyle relied on the Hallows to defeat the Dark Tide. ”

Stan's face twitched visibly, "Are you saying that Doyle wanted to steal the Hallows in private to fight the Darktide, and claimed to Wallis that he defeated the Darktide on his own strength alone?"

Miles sighed, "That's right, it's the only plausible explanation, and it's the best way to establish the highest prestige in Wallis. The old mercenary shook his head, "We were already calculated when we first accepted this mission, and we were simply walking into a trap. ”

Stan sits on the ground in disbelief, which is the same thing he heard in the castle, and Stan remembers the conversation he heard in the castle.

"Who gave you the Hallows?" said Rui, approaching Miles, looking into the old mercenary's eyes.

"It's two mages, a man and a woman, both of whom look a little old. "Both of them were dressed in white cloaks with elaborate embroidery on the edges, which made me look impressed, but they didn't look like sinister people, ......."

"White cloak?" Rui turned to look at Niss. "This is the cloak that only the great sages of the Mage Tower are qualified to wear. ”

Ness nodded silently and did not speak.

"Okay, there's no time, I have to be absent. Miles nodded slightly to the crowd and turned to leave.

"It's getting more and more interesting, the white cloak, does the Great Sage have anything to do with the whole thing?" Rui put his right hand against his chin, thinking something.

Niss looked at Rui with a slightly ugly face, in her heart, the great sages of the Mage Tower would never do evil things, they were archmages who walked in the light, and it was their duty to protect Wallis.

Fern and his compatriots were so preoccupied that no one spoke, when Kaya ran over, "Fern?"

Fern looked at Kaya in surprise, "Ka...... Kaya. Seeing this, the companions all left with interest.

"Yes. Kaya looked at Fern intently, her gentle eyes almost melting Fern into it. "Fern, I don't know why, I've always felt that you are very kind, as if we have met before, so ......" Kaya bit her lip, "I want to let you know this while I still have the chance, I know, this sounds ridiculous......"

"No, it's not ridiculous!" Fern interrupted Kaya, "Thank you, Kaya. The mercenary raised his right hand and looked at his palm, slowly reaching out like Kaya. "Kaya, can you give me your hand?"

Kaya nodded earnestly, and slowly stretched out her right hand and placed it in the palm of Fern's hand. Fern gently took Kaya's hand and closed his eyes, feeling the emotion. At this moment, it seems that they are the only ones left in the whole world, two people who once knew and loved each other, but now they are from different worlds.

"They're coming!" came the hunter's hurried warning voice, and he stretched out his left hand, and a small falcon came to rest on his arm. "They just entered the woods!"

Everyone looked nervously at the way they came, and Miles immediately gave the order. "Everyone broke through to the right and ran all the way out of the woods, without stopping, and kept running until they saw the first town. Then he looked at the hunter, "Hunter, you take a few people behind to erase the traces, and then follow immediately." ”

The hunter nodded his head, and immediately began to scramble the footprints on the ground with a few mercenaries around him. The other mercenaries immediately ran to the right.

Fern opened his eyes, and Kaya was still looking at him intently. "Run, we can get out, trust me!" With that, Fern let go of his hand and looked at Kaya steadfastly.

Kaya gave one last reluctant look at Fern, then turned around and ran with the other mercenaries.

"It's time for us to go, Ferne. Rui reminded on the side.

"Let's go, let's not run apart, gather together, and follow me!" Fern instructed his companion.
