Roy was at the mouth of the village of Double-Eyed Well, reining in his warhorse.

The village was quiet.

Since the battle broke out, hundreds of villagers in Twin Eyes Well Village had left under the orders of Todd, the commander of the defenders of Warm Lake Castle. Some of the young men were recruited into the castle to assist in the defense, while more civilians took refuge in the surrounding mountains and old forests.

The Shuangyanjing Village in front of me was empty.

The two roads converge from the entrance of Shuangyanjing Village and then extend in different directions. The trees and farmland on both sides of the road, just like the villages,

In fact, before he reached the Twin Eyes Village, Roy knew that he had made a mistake in his judgment.

The road of Twin Eyes Village is the closest road to the Eastern Front. If they did not go from here, then the Filies, who had bypassed the warm water lake, would have to make a large circle along the mountains to the north. The extra distance alone is more than 30 kilometers.

In mountainous areas where cavalry is difficult, this means several hours of prayer.

In Roy's opinion, quickly getting out of the battle, and then joining up with the curtain as much as possible, is Tie Lun's first priority at the moment. There was no need for him to go north and delay a few prayers.

But the opponent avoided this path.

Looking at the deserted village, Roy felt like watching a prey walk to the edge of a trap, turn a corner, and go around silently.

"Sir. Thorge's voice came from behind him.

Roy looked back and looked past Sog's muddy face, and the Solan soldiers behind him were all shaky.

Roy's heart sank.

This time, he could only return to the original path first, and pursue from the warm lake along the route the enemy had left. Not to mention the time delayed back and forth, the soldiers' bodies are also greatly consumed.

Roy knew that everyone was following him with a breath of air.

Continuous rush and fighting. The spiritual will and body of everyone in this team have reached a critical point. In this state, it is definitely a dangerous idea to catch up with Tielun again and throw yourself into a tough battle.

"Shall we continue to chase?" asked Thorge.

Roy hesitated.

It stands to reason that after the annihilation of Buzz and Naqi. I can take a break for a while. At least in terms of the situation, now both sides are equal. Of the five strategic locations, none of them have been taken by the other side. As long as the reinforcements from Muni City are fast enough, the fjord can be defended!

However, the empty village in front of him reminded Roy of the awakening.

At this moment, he seemed to see a pair of cold eyes, sneering at him.

The cunning and strength of the other party made Roy feel an extreme danger. He believes. If he can't stop them from converging, then, perhaps, at the most critical moment, this Filiet army will become a knife that stabs into the vital point.

Seeing that Roy was silent, the long knights all exchanged glances with each other.

Flutter in the air!

This fact is undoubtedly a heavy blow to this team, which has been exhausted to the extreme. Not to mention ordinary cavalry. Even these long knights are hardly able to insist on doing this again.

But. Now it's not about yourself that everyone is worried about, it's Roy.

Along the way, Roy's watch is magical. Whether it is to see through the opponent's plan, accurately grasp the location and time of the ambush, or mobilize the Filiet army with beacon fire, it shows his extraordinary insight and ability to grasp the fighter. He is like a skilled hunter. Busy setting traps and hunting prey. Following him, everyone obtained a record that they couldn't even think of before.

However, his opponent was, after all, a fierce military genius like Muya and Tie Lun. Both knowledge and experience. None of them are comparable to Roy, who is a civilian.

Just like now, when Roy judged that the other party would pass through the village of Twin Eyes, the other party took a different path.

It was an invisible encounter.

And for the commander who lost this encounter, this is more demoralizing than losing the opposite battle.

On the battlefield, it is not known how many commanders have an unbalanced mentality and make fatal mistakes because of this. I don't know how many teams lost trust in their commanders because of repeated setbacks, and eventually collapsed.

Everyone still had confidence in Roy, but at this moment, seeing this somewhat depressed and confused face, everyone suddenly realized that the one who led them to fight was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy after all.

"Sir, it's actually ......" Thorge stepped forward, trying to comfort Roy.

However, he saw that the corners of Roy's mouth slowly hooked, revealing a smile of "really interesting".

This smile is often seen by Soge.

Maybe it's a gambler with a big deck of cards and stealing chickens from his opponents, or maybe it's a top hunter when he's facing a cunning prey. Either way, this smile represents confidence!

"Chase!" Roy took a deep breath and answered Thorge's question.

His eyes narrowed slightly, "However, we have to do a different approach." ”

Twenty minutes later, the team arrived at the foot of Warm Lake Fort.

Warm Lake is the name of a mountain lake in the north, and the water temperature is maintained at around 40 degrees Celsius all year round. In the summer, there is nothing, but in the winter, the water vapor is filled with mist, and the forests around the lake are lush and green because of the warm climate of the lake, and the snow-capped mountains in the distance complement each other. The scenery is reflected on the smooth mirror-like lake, which has a feeling of fairyland on earth.

The Warm Water Lake Fort was built on a hill south of the Warm Water Lake. It has a history of 200 years. The castle is typical of the Romance style. The exterior walls are grey-brown rock, heavy and solid. Outside the city gate, there is a stone bridge that crosses a mountain stream. Between the stone bridge and the city gate, there is a wooden suspension bridge controlled by a magic winch.

Walk into the six-meter-deep doorway and you'll find the castle's front yard.

Unlike ordinary castles, which only have one main tower, Warm Lake Castle has two main towers, one on the left and one on the right. In castle architecture, this is known as the Twin Towers. The towers are connected by covered bridges. Under the tower, there are low bungalows and shacks. It was the dwelling of slaves, servants, and craftsmen.

Further back, there is the castle backyard. This part is much smaller than the front yard. A secondary tower used entirely for military purposes and two arrow towers that echo the forecourt are all the buildings here.

Warm Lake Castle is a small and medium-sized castle, however, after the outbreak of war. It has always been a transit point for supplies to the fjord. After reconstruction and expansion, it is now able to accommodate more than 2,000 troops.

If you take the castle as the core, station a knight order, and then slightly rebuild the villages and towns outside the castle, it will be a ready-made military camp. Hold the Quartet Passage. With a sound of a horn, you can strike quickly. Any army wants to pass through here. All had to face the threat of the castle defenders. Therefore, in this battle, it is a battleground for both sides of the enemy.

Tie Lun left, much to the surprise of the defenders of Warm Water Lake. And the arrival of Roy and others made the castle thunderous.

After nearly a day of fear, they finally welcomed reinforcements.

Moreover, this support army is not an ordinary reinforcement. They started by stepping into a war zone. Two elite knightly units have been annihilated. It also made the Tielun army, which was already preparing to attack the Warm Water Lake Castle, retreat in panic.

Twenty minutes earlier, a dozen girls had escorted the wounded to the castle.

And when standing on the city wall and seeing the main force of the army coming along the rugged mountain road from a distance, the castle immediately lowered the drawbridge and rolled out the red carpet. On the city wall, four rolls of majestic flags flew down, and twelve trombonists puffed out their cheeks and blew horns. Knights. Soldiers, heavily armed. Lined up out of town. On the stone bridge in front of the city gate, they are lined up on the left and right.

And Todd, the commander of the defenders, led the soldiers and civilians in the city to meet them in the rain.

However, when the team arrived at the castle and really got a close-up look at the knights, the people present. I couldn't believe my eyes. The cheers and trumpets gradually subsided.

In the heavy rain, this army was so tired.

Each and every one of them was drenched in the rain. Strands of hair clinging tightly to her forehead. The droplets of water kept dripping down. The horse that sat down, its steps slow, its head hanging low to the ground, obviously overdrawn. The flags on the riding guns were wet and sticking to the barrels of the guns, and all the people were pale.

At the forefront were the ten chief knights of the Mooney City Guard. Behind them were more than forty young midshipmen. There was still a trace of immature faces, and it was not a sturdy body, which made it hard to believe that it was such a group of young people who were fighting bloody battles with those wolf-like Filies.

Behind, more than a hundred cavalrymen. These ordinary warriors who did not have the support of the war ring, many of them were just riding on horses, and they were already shaking.

And whether it is a long knight, a trainee knight or a cavalryman, without exception, everyone is scarred.

Their coats and armor were covered with blood and swords. Many people simply bandage their wounds with strips of cloth. On the strip of cloth, the blood soaked out was shocking.

"Damn, what are you doing in a daze!"

With Todd's loud shout, what horns, what greetings, all were thrown out of the clouds. Everyone rushed up and helped the warriors in heavy armor down and into the castle.

The women quickly brought out clean gauze, the medical officers rushed to and fro with their medicine boxes on their backs, the cooks lit fires and boiled ginger soup and food, and the soldiers took their horses and took care of them.

Many women are busy wiping tears from their eyes.

From the city of Medin, a dozen sleepless marches of prayers and two battles caused many soldiers to fall to the ground and die as soon as they entered the castle. Even when everyone untied their bandages and treated their horrific wounds, they only snorted twice in their sleep. That dirty appearance, anyone who sees it feels distressed.

What was even more sad was that the twenty knights, including the young black-haired little chief, just drank a bowl of hot soup in the castle, changed into dry clothes, and left again.

The iron hooves of twenty war horses, stepping on the splash of the muddy earth, galloped out of the castle.

In the blink of an eye, they had disappeared into the rain.

.....................

.....................

"Whoosh!"

An arrow swept through the jungle like lightning, grazing the cheek of a Ferray knight. If he hadn't dodged it in time, this arrow would have almost killed him.

The knight reined in his horse, reached out and touched the bloody mouth on his face, then put his finger in his mouth and licked it.

Surrounded by the jungle, quietly.

The knight snorted coldly and snapped his fingers.

With the sound of whistles around him, he turned his horse's head and hurried away. The figure only flashed in the woods, and then disappeared into the dense bushes.

Miki turned from behind a large tree, looked at the direction of the knight of Ferret, put her bow on her back, and kicked her feet, like a nimble swift, sweeping in the opposite direction.

Despite her many efforts, Miki was unable to grasp the enemy's whereabouts.

The mountainous terrain to the north of Warm Water Lake is intricate. There is more than one road to the north. And this time, Tie Lun extended the cordon to a distance of five kilometers, and all the knights released were above the level of bravery. There are several of them, even old falcons with the strength of just knights.

Although the elven hunters approached the area several times. However, without exception, they were all chased by these Feili knights before they could find the whereabouts of Tie Lun's main force.

Miki is an elven warrior who has completed the transformation of a butterfly. But her strength is only equivalent to that of a human armed knight.

And her people, not only did they not turn into butterflies, but they also did not have long been trained by hunters. They can become excellent hunters because of the talent of elves.

They can detect stealth, but combat is their weakness.

Just like in the previous two battles, the rangers who followed the main force were only allowed by Roy to be assisted with bows and arrows from a safe distance. None of the elves engaged the enemy head-on.

Miki was a little annoyed.

Ten minutes later, when Miki's slender figure was seen shooting out of the jungle, the team stopped, and Thorge asked, "Have you found the enemy?"

Miki glanced at Roy, silent, her long eyelashes drooping.

The knights all looked at each other.

Judgment on the battlefield, no matter how sure it is, needs to be confirmed by intelligence.

While everyone agreed with Roy's speculation that Tieren was heading to the Eastern Front to join up with the rest of the Philip army, this speculation was not enough to support the next move.

Which path did Tie Lun take? Will he go to the Eastern Front, or will he hide somewhere? Will he lure his own pursuit and set a trap, or will he turn around and attack the warm water lake after transferring this force? Or will he attack the Bison Village and Firefox Village?

Every guess is a possibility. As long as there is no definitive answer, no risk can be taken.

All eyes were on Roy.

Now, only nineteen Knights in Costume followed Roy in pursuit of Tieren, while the rest of the team rested at Warm Lake Castle. No one knows what Roy's plan is, does he think that he can defeat Tieren with just his own people?

"Didn't find Tie Lun's main force, but found their scouts?" Roy leaned over and looked into Miki's eyes with some curiosity.

This stubborn elf rarely shows such a frustrated look.

"Nonsense. Miki gave Roy a blank look.

The scouts of the Firetes are all over the mountains and forests. In this direction, she threw thirty elven hunters into it and fought each other several times. Although it was impossible to break through the opponent's block and determine the location of its main force, the position of the opponent's scouts was clear.

They were in the mountains and forests ahead, blocking all access to the north. On both sides of the road, on the ridges, on the side of the river valley, in the bushes, they could be encountered at any time.

"That's good. Roy jumped off his horse and drew his sword. "Let's start with them!" ...... (To be continued......)
