Chapter 200: Disappearing
The battle at Castle Deai lasted less than two hours before it ended, with thousands of soldiers quickly suppressing the resistance in the castle.
The soldiers who had rebelled before were all armed and held outside the castle.
And the soldiers of the Iron Fang took control of the castle's exits in the shortest possible time, but strangely none of them found any trace of Count Deay.
"Are you saying that there is no trace of Earl Dee and his family in the castle?" asked Lonnat, looking at the soldier in front of him with an ugly face.
"Yes, my lord, we have searched all the corners of the castle and found nothing. ”
The soldiers said in some disbelief that they led people to cordon off the castle at the first time, and found the treasure house of Count Dee Ai during the search, but they did not find Count Deay.
Ronnat's face was gloomy, and the faces of Beowulf and Gareth beside him were also a little ugly, and now it was troublesome, as long as Count Deai did not ambush him, he was still a hidden scourge for Jason.
"Are all the people in the castle?"
Ronnat pondered for a moment and looked up to ask.
"It's all here, and we've all gathered in the open space in front of the castle. The soldier hurriedly replied, and then he said with some confusion.
"But we have interrogated them, and they have no idea where Count Deey is, and they have not seen him at the time of our siege. ”
"So Count Deai left his people and soldiers behind when we attacked the walls?"
Gareth was a little dumbfounded, although this Count Dee is a bit of a bastard, but it doesn't look like this kind of person, otherwise the knight of Willis would not be so loyal.
"Looks like that's the case. ”
Beowulf sighed, it seems that it is not for nothing that this Count of Deai is not loved.
"Wouldn't it be clear to Knight Willis?" said Ronnat, glancing at the richly decorated hall.
The knight of Willis was only exhausted after withstanding Gareth's attack, and although his injuries were severe, he was not in danger of his life.
It's just that his helmet has stuck to his face due to the heat, causing him to be disfigured.
Not long after, the three of them came to the dungeon together, and looked at the knight of Willis, who was sitting alone in the corner with a bandage, and they knocked lightly on the cell door.
"What are you here to do, to show off your victory to the losers?"
Knight Willis endured the pain on his body, slowly got up and came to the front of the three, looking at them calmly, especially Gareth, who was standing on the left.
"You misunderstood, but I actually quite admire you. Gareth couldn't help but sigh when he saw him.
From a leader's point of view, there is nothing wrong with Willis's approach.
"Really?"
Knight Willis laughed, some of the bandages on his body oozing blood again.
"The purpose of our visit is to inquire about the whereabouts of your Count Deay. ”
Gareth stepped forward and looked him in the eye.
"Count Deay?"
Knight Willis was a little stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand why Gareth asked this, after all, the entire town of Deai had already fallen under their control.
"Isn't he in the castle?"
His voice trembled a little when he said this, and he already had a bad premonition in his heart.
"It seems that you don't know either. ”
Gareth sighed and turned to leave, and from the gaze of the knight of Willis he saw a feeling of despair and reluctance, and he did not lie.
"Wait a minute!"
Knight Willis reached out of the cell door and tried to grab Gareth, but he was too far away to succeed.
"Tell me...... You're lying to me, aren't you?"
He had mixed emotions right now, hoping that Count Dee Ai would leave the town of Deai safe and sound, but he also did not want to hear that their lord had left thousands of loyal soldiers and fled alone.
"No, it is true that Count Dee has abandoned you and fled the castle alone with his family, about shortly after our siege began. ”
Gareth turned around and whispered, then ignored Willis' desperate look and turned away.
"No...... Ha ha...... Hahaha......"
Knight Willis's eyes lost their sparkle, they were the eyes of the collapse of faith, and finally he couldn't help the sadness in his heart and lay on the ground and laughed miserably.
I laughed hoarsely all the time, laughing until I coughed up blood in my throat.
The sadness in his voice made the dungeon guards sigh.
"Immediately send all the cavalry scouts to search the vicinity of the town of Deay, and only one night has passed, hoping that it will be too late. ”
After walking out of the dungeon, Gareth said in a deep voice, this time their mistake was really a bit big.
"I'll also inform you of the situation here. Ronnet added.
"I'll leave it to me, and I'll be back to Irontooth in two days. ”
At this time, Beowulf suddenly said that with his physical strength and strength, it was not a problem to travel for two days without sleep.
And there is no need to worry about the letter being stopped on the road.
"But you'll need to help me get some more horses. ”
..........................................
Two days later, at noon, Jason learned about the situation in the town of Deai from the dusty Beowulf.
"Let's talk about it if you escape, his threat is almost negligible without military power. Hearing this, Jason first lowered his head and thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said.
"But I am afraid that he will come back to seek revenge afterwards, and incite the people of the Deai to revolt. ”
Beowulf bowed his head and said that the common people were ignorant, and could easily be seduced by a well-intentioned man like Count Deay.
"It's better to leave this matter to the crows. ”
Hassan, who was standing on the side, answered: "They will be better at this kind of thing, and with those mercenaries who go south and north, the chances are even greater." ”
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. Jason nodded, then looked at Beowulf in front of him.
"You should have a good rest in the town during this time, spring will soon begin, and our plan will soon enter the execution stage, and you will need to worry a lot about it then. ”
He was referring to the plan to march into the ice field, a large rear that hides countless unstable factors that make Jason very insecure.
"My subordinates will not live up to the trust!" Beowulf immediately knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice with his head bowed.
......................................................
Half a month later, in the royal city of the Lopez Kingdom, a team of 100 cavalry supported a heroic man, and on the other side was a gorgeously dressed teenager and a dozen ornately equipped guards.
"Uncle, have you really decided?"
The boy was none other than Phil Lopez, the Grand Prince of the Kingdom, who was now looking at the heroic knight with a worried expression.
"That group of cowards in the Federation of Sixteen Nations actually dared to come to my Lopez Territory, I must let them know this time that even if we are internally unstable, it is not something that this little minion of him can manipulate at will!"
Marquis Garcia said to Phil with a righteous face.
He can now be said to be single-handedly covering the sky in Sloving, and has become the uncrowned king of Lopez.
"Then I will be in the royal city, praying that you can return triumphantly as soon as possible, uncle. ”
Phil seemed to be very moved and reluctant.
"Then Your Highness, I am now on my way. ”
