The air at dawn was cold and crisp, the sky was still dark, and the stars were twinkling, and if it weren't for the dark tide it would have been a nice day, but at this moment Stan was in a much worse mood.

There was no one on the street, and the occasional wild dog barked at the motorcade that was preparing at the door of the stables, and then disappeared. With a soft shout, the two leading horses took steps and slowly drove forward with the convoy.

Stan is on the leading horse, dressed in the clothes of a normal traveler, with a normal sword at his waist, which John had found for him on the fly, and in fact John has several weapons in the basement of the inn. On the other side was Magill, and the knight captain was also wearing ordinary clothes, but the scars on his face could not hide his unusual momentum. He was followed by a trailer and a carriage, each pulled by two horses, with John in control of the trailer and the final carriage tended by his two men.

There was no one to say anything along the way, and they had already discussed the plan in the tavern, but no one was confident that the plan would succeed, and Stan and Magill even prepared for the worst and forced their way out if they were discovered.

Just as the sky was just showing the whiteness of the fish's belly, the group arrived at the east gate of Dorne, where two teams of guards stood on either side of the gate, meticulously checking the convoy waiting to leave the city. The waiting moment was the hardest, watching the convoy in front of him being released out of the city one by one, how Stan wished that he and Nerfi were among them, and that they were out of the city and headed east.

The convoy in front of the group was getting smaller and smaller, and soon it was their turn, and the guard, as soon as he saw the previous convoy leave, beckoned to Magil and motioned for them to pass.

John whispered in the back, "Look at the speed guard today should not be strict, this is a good thing for us, let's go." ”

Magill and Stan look at each other, then hop off their horses and lead their mounts to the guards. "Hello, sir, we are from the Veteran's Inn and need to go out of the city in order to collect food, and I and the guy over there are bodyguards. Magill pointed at Stan, then at John. "That's our boss, you must know him. ”

The guard cautiously kept a distance of three people from Magill, and it was clear that the face of the captain of the knight made him nervous. "How come I've never seen your bodyguard? ”

John pretended to smile lightly in the back, "Captain Saverin, these two are my newly found bodyguards, since the news of the dark tide crossing Thun came, there are fewer and fewer bodyguards who dare to continue to protect us in the east, these two seem to have a little ability, and they are bold, I don't have any choice, don't you say?"

Captain Saverin nodded, still looking at Magill with his peripheral vision, and he was about to lift his steps, but hesitated and turned to the other guard on the other side. "Leonard, I'll leave it to you, the queue is getting bigger and bigger, I'm going to check the one in the back. With that, he trotted away without looking back, as if he could feel safe when he was far away from Magill.

Leonard, a very young soldier, hesitated for a moment when he saw Magill, and then a look of shock leaped across his face. "You're the captain of the knights of Magill Canrito?"

Magill raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Oh, I didn't expect my fame to reach Dorne?"

Leonard scratched the back of his head shyly. "I once went to Canrito with my companions, where I saw your training with your men and was impressed with your style and swordsmanship. ”

"That's easy to say. Magill nodded in satisfaction. "Do you think you can let us go?"

"Hmm...... But why would you, as the captain of the Knight of Canrito, come to Dorne to be an innkeeper's bodyguard?" Leonard's gaze swept through the convoy.

Magill was getting impatient. "John is my former comrade-in-arms, don't you know that he was also a soldier of Canrito a few years ago?

Leonard was speechless for a moment, his face as red as pig's liver, but he couldn't find the words to refute it, so he waved his hand to signal that they could pass. "No problem, stay safe when you get out of town, it's said that the dark tide is heading towards Gaiman, but maybe some are coming this way. ”

Magill did not speak, the scar on his face seemed to be deeper, and he turned around and led his horse to the city gate.

The group slowly passed the guards and began to pass through the ten yards thick gate, Stan finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Tannell had not yet noticed that Nerfi and I had escaped, he thought so, the fresh air outside the city was waiting for him.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the shouts had arrived before the people arrived. "The lord has ordered, two prisoners, a man and a woman, have escaped from the dungeon, they are in the city, every convoy out of the city must be strictly reviewed, be sure to find them!"

Stan's heart tightened, it was time to come, they had already walked through the gates, and now they had to bite the bullet and move on. Magill gave him a look, and the two of them did not pause, as if they had not heard a shout.

"Magill, wait a minute!" Leonard hurried after them. "You must have heard the order, I must check your carriage. ”

"What did you say?" said Magill, glaring at the young guard with a fierce expression. "We don't have time to play with you, we've already passed the inspection, and now we have to go out of the city to find ingredients, or someone in the city will starve to death!"

"I'm sorry for that, but you must be inspected by order, please open the lid of the truck and show me what's inside. Leonard puffed out his chest to look a little more imposing.

Magill cursed, walked over to the van, and pulled the lid open a gap to reveal the haystack inside. "You can also see that it's just some grass, in order to cushion the shock under the ingredients, are you satisfied? Can you let us go?"

"Wait a minute!" Leonard grabbed Magill's arm, his eyes fixed on the Knight Captain's face. "Open all the lids and I'm going to check every nook and cranny. ”

The atmosphere froze at this moment, Stan's hand pressed against the hilt of his sword, ready to force his way through, and he saw John pulling a short sword from behind his butt.

Magill shook Leonard's hand away, his fierce face even more hideous with anger. "You said you were going to check? You cowards who only dared to hide behind the walls, what were you doing when Thun fell? What did you do when people fought against the Dark Tide for the sake of Cumberland, for Wallis? You didn't do anything! You just watched them die without even the slightest mercy. And now, the knights sent by Gunther for help are locked up in the dungeon by you, and they are trying to escape to help Gaiman against the dark tide, but you want to dash their hopes again, what are they doing wrong?

Leonard just stayed where he was, not knowing what to say, and Magill took a deep breath to calm himself down. "We have to go, some of my old friends died in Thun, I couldn't help them, I can't sleep at night when I think about it, I can't let myself regret it anymore, I know what I should and shouldn't do, you know young man?"

Leonard lowered his head and fell into deep thought, when Saverin's voice came from behind him. "Leonard, why aren't you okay over there, I've checked everything here, look at how long the queue is at the back, is there something wrong?" said Saverin, walking this way.

The next few seconds seemed like hours, and Magill's hand touched the hilt of his sword, and Stan's sword was even pulled out in a small section, and Saverin was already at the carriage.

Finally, Leonard jerked his head up and turned to walk towards Saverin. "Oh no, nothing, just chatting for a while, and I wanted them to bring me some fruit. ”

"You guy, you want to eat fruit and buy it at the market yourself!" Saverin shook his head and turned to the back of the group.

With a long exhale, Magill closed the lid of the wagon, walked back to the horse, and leaped on. Stan's hand removed from the hilt of his sword, and the two of them glanced at each other as they hurried through the gates.

As soon as you leave the city, you will be greeted by a large area of lush farmland, which is colder than usual, but in this location of Dorne, there is still a view of the southern country. Stan is like a caged bird that has just flown into the sky, greedily breathing in the fresh air, and it's all so beautiful.

Without any pause, the group galloped towards the east.
