Edmund and the others, in order to avoid the pursuit, sailed all the way south, and it was now the second half of the night.

Although it was early spring, it was still bone-chilling at night. Except for Kaz, who was at the helm, the rest of the ship was long gone, Edmund and Tedda rested against each other, and the wounded captain slept on the board.

Kaz tweaked his direction with wood pulp, his eyes on his surroundings like a torch, for fear that something strange would happen.

He pondered in his heart that he was losing contact with the army at the moment, and estimated that the temper of the town king should not change the pre-planned raid, but it was not a long-term thing to float on the surface of the river. But the men and horses have been damaged and stagnant, and instead of going back to find the troops again, it is better to reach the enemy's granary one step ahead of the king of Zhen......

Katz thought about it and made up his mind, so he gently woke up Edmund and wanted to discuss the future arrangements with His Highness.

Edmund felt like he was sleeping with his eyes closed, but he opened his eyes as soon as he heard Kaz's voice, and he coughed twice because of the discomfort in his throat.

Teda didn't really sleep deeply, and when he heard the cough, he immediately got up and asked if Edmund was okay, and then said to Kaz: "General, I don't think there should be any more danger now, let's go ashore first." ”

Kaz answered, and he first looked around to see that the river was calm, and then rowed the boat quickly to the shore.

There is a forest on the shore, the leaves are blown by the wind when the wind blows, and the moon above is shining, but it is a little quiet in the calm.

Kaz led the group to find a rockfall and lit a small bonfire for everyone to warm up. Then he went into the forest alone, hoping to hunt some prey to satisfy his hunger, but he found no prey after several explorations, so he had to find some wild fruits and return to ......

Edmund was already hungry and thirsty after this night's tossing, and he wanted to go to the river to drink some water, but was stopped by Tedda in the name of being unclean.

He saw Kaz returning with a wild fruit at this moment, but he was overjoyed, he picked up a wild fruit and ate it: "Kaz, don't you have something to tell me on the boat?"

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

Kazlai sat down by the fire and handed the fruit in his bosom to the soldier chief.

"Your Highness, judging from our current situation, I suggest that you can go directly to the destination of this expedition. ”

Teda had just taken a bite of the fruit in his hand, and immediately stopped eating it after hearing what Kaz said: "I can't agree with what the general said, the enemy's hinterland is full of dangers, can the general guarantee that His Highness is foolproof?"

Kaz was silent, because he understood the little prince's concerns, but at this time, it might not be easy to think about going back the same way.

His face was a little solemn, and he thought for a moment before he spoke: "If we choose to take the water route, we will definitely pass through the ports controlled by the enemy, and if we choose to take the land route, we will be closer to the main battle zone, and there will be many sentry posts on the way. ”

Tedama was silent, melancholy in his heart.

Edmund threw away the pit in his hand and rolled his eyes a few times before speaking: "Kaz is right, it will be safer to go backwards, and there may be fun things waiting for us." ”

Kaz nodded: "That's exactly what the minister meant, with the containment of a large army ahead, our road back will be easy." ”

Edmund stabbed the soldier captain who was eating fruit next to him with his hand: "What about you, do you agree?"

The soldier commander was stabbed unexpectedly, almost squirting out, and coughed a few times: "Cough... Cough...... Temple... I agree with what Your Highness said. ”

Teda was still silent, and his eyes were also full of gloom.

Edmund then asked Kaz, "What are we going to do now?"

"The minister thinks we should change this outfit first, just now when the minister went to explore the road, he found that there is a fire not far from here, we can go and check it first. ”

Edmund heard that there was a fire elsewhere than them, and immediately showed some excitement: "Hurry up Kaz, take us to see." ”

......

On the other hand, Bate learns from the mysterious man that Melwitz has been victorious, and his army has been broken and defeated.

Bett looked at the mysterious man in front of him with complicated eyes: "You... It seems that you know a lot, so you must know why Melwitz suddenly appeared. ”

The mysterious man shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't know, and you don't need to use this information to ask for credit." ”

Bette was shocked, how could he know what was going on in my heart?

......

At this time, Kaz led Edmund and them all the way to the place of the firelight, and there were many rocks around the firelight, and when they were about to approach, Kaz motioned for everyone to stop and hide first.

Edmund's eyes were also very pointed, he hid behind a rock, although he didn't see too clearly, but he also saw that there were seventeen or eighteen people around the firelight, dressed not like soldiers, but all equipped with swords.

In addition to these seventeen or eighteen men, there were several horses and two carriages. The carriage was equipped with an iron cage, and it seemed that there were still people in the cage.

Edmund probably took a look at it, and then whispered to Kaz, "Actually, the women are in a cage, it doesn't look like these guys are good people?

Kaz did not deny it: "Of course, this kind of rough thing does not need to be done by His Highness. ”

Edmund looked eager to try: "This is not good, there are so many of them, of course I have to help." ”

Teda pulled Edmund's arm to stop him: "You are Your Highness of the Empire, why... How can you do such a dangerous thing?"

Edmund touched Tedda's forehead and said, "Is this dangerous? What was the situation before, miserable?"

Teda was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly turned red.

The soldier commander interjected: "Don't bother Your Highness and the prince with these little things, let me and the general do it, you can wait for the good news with peace of mind." ”

Kaz also nodded in agreement, pondering his plan in his heart.

Edmund was sullen, thinking that he finally had no one to take care of, if he couldn't do this today, the days to come would be long, and if something interesting happened again, wouldn't he just be able to watch from the sidelines.

"No, no, no!" Edmund became angry, this time he had to try a sneak attack: "Although I don't have military power, but the whole empire except my father is the biggest one, Kaz, do you want to oppose me?"

Kaz shuddered: "I don't dare." ”

Edmund glared at the soldier commander again: "What about you, are you going to turn against me?"

The soldier chief looked helpless and shook his head again and again: "I don't dare." ”

"Cousin TEDA. Edmund dragged his voice, his eyes sparkling at Tedda.

Teda was also bitter in his heart, although he really didn't want Edmund to take risks, but now he couldn't resist Edmund at all, fortunately, there was a general Kazzai, and Teda simply agreed.

Edmund saw that even Tedda had softened, and his heart was happy, so he asked Kaz, "Do you have any plans?"
