Chapter 50: The Vanishing Castle
As soon as the leading brave knights died, the Filiet cavalry no longer had the courage to fight, and many of them turned their horses away from the battlefield and fled in all directions.
The civilians who were slashed by the Firetes finally ushered in the protection of the Saint-Soran cavalry, and many of them fell to the ground with weak legs at that time, unable to stand up.
The cries, the cries and the corpses and blood all over the ground were intertwined, like hell.
The enraged Saint-Soran cavalry pursued the cavalry far away and completely dispersed the Ferrets, only then turned back and escorted the civilian brigade to retreat deep into the mountains.
In the mountains and forests, civilians trekked deep and shallow. In order to get rid of the pursuers, everyone did not choose the main road and the flat land, but went all the way north, trying to go to the rugged and difficult mountain road. Only in those high-slope dense forests, the speed of the horses and the heavy armor of the knights of Ferra will become a burden to them, not an advantage.
Leading the way was Roy.
The road was determined as early as the military council of the castle. The route is known only to local veteran hunters. But no one expected that several hunter guides assigned to the team were killed in the slaughter of the Ferray cavalry. Therefore, the only person in the team who knows this path is Roy, who lives in the mountains.
Oliver had already put it down, shaking his head and leading the way in front.
Roy was lying on Palu's back, his face pale. His body was still in the power of the healing technique, and the few arrows he had just fired from his bow had burst the wounds that were already healing. The original sin was about to be suffered again, and even the people next to him felt terrified when they looked at it. But Roy remained silent the whole time.
Except for the lack of strength in his body, and the uncontrollable convulsions on his face from time to time due to extreme pain, his expression was no different from usual.
"This kid doesn't look like a person!"
The royal knights, who were leading their horses to the left and right of the crowd, raised their eyes from time to time to look at Roy at the front of the team and discussed. A group of men who charged and fought and licked blood from the edge of their knives admired this thin-bodied black-haired boy from the bottom of their hearts. The knights, in particular, would come to Roy's side every once in a while and ask a few questions with concern.
From the moment Roy rushed down the hill alone, the big guy could see his energy.
A guy who doesn't even know how to fight, where did he get such a fiery temper and so much courage?
This is not one of the heroes of mythology who can't be killed. People cannot be resurrected after death, and everyone has only one life. Even Pope Nicholas II, who was called by heaven one day, could not be resurrected.
But at that time, Roy rushed down so brazenly, and rushed towards the enemy alone in the face of billowing smoke.
Killed an armed knight and a knight squire for the first time. The second time, he picked five more cavalrymen, and in the end, he even helped Punk kill the two-star knight of Philip. If you count the two knights who were in the hunting area before, there are two brave knights and three armed knights of the Fireth, who were killed by him.
In the border army, where the knight establishment is extremely valuable, this is a whole knight squad. A small lord like Baron Bollabel may not be able to make up these knights in twenty or thirty years.
And they all died.
Just because the boy with long black hair and a little big head because of his thin body made a mistake!
When this little rabbit cub bites people with a pair of red eyes, it is really terrifying.
The crowd moved through the jungle. Civilians helped each other, old and young, and walked through the forest in silence. There were soldiers in front of the road to guard on both sides, and the beasts, poisonous insects and thorny hooks in the jungle did not cause much trouble to everyone. The Firetes in the rear, after gathering together and launching two pursuits, were repulsed, never followed.
The royal knights relaxed a lot.
Everyone knows that the raid of the Firetes this time was full of cavalry. It's not a lot. Otherwise, it wouldn't be impossible to even besiege the castle. Moreover, their purpose was also to take the castle and defend it. As long as they can stand their ground, they will have achieved their goal. The rest of the job is not to hunt down civilians, but to protect the surroundings and wait for the arrival of their fleet.
Although everyone knew that sooner or later there would be a war between the Saint-Soran Empire and the Philae Empire, the soldiers had repeatedly deduced the offensive routes of the Philaetes on the sandtable for many years. ,
However, no one expected that the Philae would choose such a remote town that was almost out of everyone's sight as one of their main directions.
I have to say that this trick is very vicious.
Once the Firetes landed in the south, there were large numbers of cavalry galloping across the land, and their fleets along the coastline were supporting. Coupled with the huge logistical support capacity of sea transportation, it will not take less than a month for the war to spread along the coastline of the Saint-Soran Empire.
This was not the center of the empire's defense in the first place, and even if he knew the enemy's intentions and wanted to send the border army south, it would be too late.
The only thing that can be expected is that the Grand Duke of Adolf in the province of Lulian will be able to gather all his lords in time to form a coalition and limit the enemy to a certain range.
And once Adolf can't resist the enemy's attack, and the battle situation erodes from Lulian Province, I am afraid that the entire southern part of the empire will become a hunting ground for the Philip Iron Cavalry to gallop.
However, the war has only just begun, and the damned Phillip has not had time to land. It is still unclear who will win and who will lose. There's no need to worry too much. Not to mention anything else, at least these people are temporarily out of danger.
Roy felt as if he had a fever. I asked for two beds of marching blankets for the cavalry to wrap in. Dozing groggily, occasionally directing the way when needed.
On the way, the team passed by the small col where Roy used to live, and Punk also sent someone in to look for it, but found no trace of Roy's grandfather. Further on, you will enter the mountain road leading to the snow-capped mountains of Jaga.
When he came to the top of a hill, Roy looked at the scenery around him, and was startled and turned his head to look.
Through the gaps between the large trees on the slopes, the waterfalls, mountain passes, and river valleys in the distance are clearly visible. But
Roy thought he was burned. Just as the team needed to rest, they stopped and found an excuse to lead Oliver to stumble up a hill one foot deep and one foot shallow.
He had lived in the mountains for five years and knew the nearby mountains well.
When he stood in front of the castle, he could see these familiar peaks when he raised his eyes, but when he stood here and looked in the direction of the castle, there was nothing.
It's not dazzling, it's not that I'm looking at the wrong place.
Waterfalls, diversioned rivers, jungles, everything. But the majestic castle disappeared out of thin air. It seems that there has never been a zĂ i.
On the mountainside, only a faint mountain mist drifts in the wind.
